night.
**After.
Li Kui walked over to Xu Cun’s side over the delicate and sweaty bodies one after another, and said, “Brother Cun, I want to buy Ming Pao.”
The news that Kim Yong intends to retire came two years ago on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the founding of Ming Pao. He suddenly announced his resignation as the president of the newspaper at a tea party, leaving only the chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao.
As soon as the news came out, more than a dozen consortiums came to negotiate the acquisition of the equity held by Jin Yong. Those who wanted to buy “Ming Pao” included Liang Baitao, the owner of Heung Kong Balfull Group, and Zheng Jing, the founder of the Hong Kong version of “Playboy”. Khan, British newspaper tycoon Maxwell, Heung Kong chief chaebol Li Jiacheng, Jardine Matheson, Australian media tycoon Murdoch, South China Morning Post major shareholder Murdoch, and Xu Cun.
But two years later, Jin Yong still didn’t sell his Ming Pao, and he didn’t even bother to ask for the price.
Not only that, Ming Pao even went public a few months ago.
While shouting to retire, Jin Yong listed his company on the market, which made it even more confusing for outsiders.
After encountering a wall again and again, many acquisition teams gave up the idea of acquiring Ming Pao, because it was not a matter of money at all, but Jin Yong’s mind was to find a suitable heir to carry forward the spirit of Ming Pao.
This heir must be young and promising, and must be appreciated by Kim Yong, and the most important thing is to be consistent with Kim Yong’s philosophy of running a newspaper.
The first two, not only Xu Cun, but also Li Ke, can meet the requirements.
But when it comes to the idea of running a newspaper that is consistent with Kim Yong, it is not only Xu Cun, but even Li Kui, who now calls himself a newspaper businessman, is very different from Kim Yong – “Ming Pao” is to refuse all political parties and groups to strictly abide by A free, neutral and objective way of running a newspaper. Xu Cun couldn’t do this at all. In Xu Cun’s concept, all the newspapers and TV stations under his banner were his own propaganda tools. And although Li Ke has the will to be like Jin Yong, she can only run a newspaper under Xu Cun’s will. After all, the newspaper industry is only one of Xu Cun’s many industries. In terms of value, the newspaper industry is only one of Xu Cun’s industries. A very small part, therefore, Xu Cun’s newspaper industry has to serve Xu Cun’s other industries and has to take into account the overall situation.
to be frank-
Not only Li Ke, but Xu Cun also wanted to bring Ming Pao under the banner of DreamWorks News.
The most valuable thing about Ming Pao is the credibility it has accumulated over more than 30 years. Other so-called “Oriental Daily”, “Sing Tao Daily” and “Ta Kung Pao” are all worthless compared to “Ming Pao” In terms of credibility, “Ming Pao” is definitely No. 1 in Hong Kong, “Oriental Daily” has no integrity, “Sing Tao Daily” is a purely commercial newspaper, and “Ta Kung Pao” is indiscriminately helping the party to speak. Therefore, when the views of several newspapers are inconsistent, readers will mostly listen to the views of Ming Pao.
The credibility of Ming Pao is something that no amount of money can buy. Moreover, no matter how much money is given to Jin Yong, Jin Yong will not sell it.
Therefore, when Li Ke said that he wanted to buy Ming Pao, Xu Cun looked confused: “Zizi, it’s not that I don’t want to buy Ming Pao for you, but that Jin Yong doesn’t sell it…”
Li Ke arched up, then hugged Xu Cun’s waist and lay in Xu Cun’s arms, saying, “Jin Yong doesn’t sell, but someone sells it.”
Hearing what Li Ke said, Xu Cun said in surprise, “Who? Lin Leyi?”
In Xu Cun’s mind, the person who can still influence Jin Yong’s decision is Jin Yong’s little wife, Lin Leyi.
but-
What Xu Cun didn’t expect was that Li Kui shook his head and said, “It’s not her.”
Hearing that it wasn’t Lin Leyi, Xu Cun immediately became interested and asked, “Who is this person who can be the master of Jin Yong?”
Li Kui said, “Yu Pinghai.”
Xu Cun said in surprise, “It’s him!”
Xu Cun still knew about Yu Pinghai.
Speaking of which, this person’s fortune experience is also quite legendary. Yu Pinghai was born in a commoner family. After finishing middle school in Hong Kong, he went to Japan to work and study part-time. At the age of 19, he was admitted to the University of San Diego in the United States. After studying political economy at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, he returned to Hong Kong after graduation, and once worked as an editor in the “Email”. At the age of 30, he and a friend acquired a Philippine listed company and owned the Manila Hilton Hotel. Three years later, he skillfully used the integration skills to make an asset transfer between cash, stocks, old factories and hotels. Huafenwen has become the major shareholder of Nanhai Development.
but-
Although today’s Yu Pinghai is considered a small fortune, compared with any chaebol who wants to buy “Ming Pao”, he is not enough to look at.
Therefore, Xu Cun couldn’t help but be a little surprised when Li Ke said that the person who could be the master of Jin Yong was Yu Pinghai!
Seeing Xu Cun’s surprise, Li Kui immediately explained: “You haven’t paid much attention to the press in the past two years, so I don’t know, Yu Pinghai has been making Jin Yong happy for the past two years, accompanying Jin Yong to watch dramas Chess, eating hairy crabs, talking about the ideal of running a newspaper, plus Yu Pinghai looks a bit like Jin Yong’s dead son Zha Chuanxi, the relationship between the two is very harmonious, and he even walks around during the New Years and festivals. It’s like Kim Yong’s godson.”
After listening to Li Ke’s explanation, Xu Cun also remembered that Yu Pinghai was the second-generation owner of Ming Pao in his last life.
Moreover, it didn’t take long for this guy to run a communication TV, and even built his own media kingdom for a while.
But just as his media kingdom was taking shape, he lost $100 million because of one incident.
Later, Yu Pinghai changed his name to Nanhai Holdings through his subsidiary China Digital Acquisition Co., Ltd., and made a comeback and transformed into the field of enterprise informatization, that is, the Internet industry.
Such an extraordinary experience earned Yu Pinghai the title of “Wonder Boy”.
Although even Yu Pinghai in the most prosperous period was only a small person in Xu Cun’s eyes, but this guy does have something unique – this guy is especially good at doing business without capital. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
This costless transaction does not refer to stealing and robbing, but a zero-cost acquisition.
Not only the acquisition of Nanhai Development, but also the acquisition of Ming Pao, Yu Pinghai can be regarded as an empty-handed white wolf – after this guy has won the trust of Jin Yong by all means, Jin Yong even lent him money to buy his own ” Ming Pao”.
However-
Although Yu Pinghai portrayed himself as a sanctimonious gentleman and a media person dedicated to making newspapers, Xu Cun knew that this guy was a down-to-earth businessman, a purer businessman than most businessmen.
In the last life, Yu Pinghai sold Ming Pao again within two years after he acquired it – this matter made Jin Yong regret, and even became the second only son, Scum Chuan, to die young in Jin Yong’s life. Regret!
Xu Cun had no confidence in buying Ming Pao from a stubborn old man like Jin Yong, but when he bought Ming Pao from a pure businessman like Yu Pinghai, Xu Cun couldn’t help laughing!
