Chapter 86 A Phone Call

"Boss, the protagonist's name is John Chris?"

Mr. Manager was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, this was the name of his boss's father.

Peyton nodded: "That's right, as you can imagine, this book is written based on my father."

"When promoting, you can highlight it and tell readers that Mr. Chris in the novel is running for governor, and the protagonist's future is guarded by them!"

"After all, Mr. Chris in the novel won the election for the first time!"

The manager was a little speechless, he felt that this book seemed to be a propaganda book for his boss to canvass his father.

However, he didn't say much, after all, this is also a marketing craze.

As long as the quality is not bad!

……

Time passed slowly, and Mr. Chris gave speeches in various places day by day.

Of all the gubernatorial candidates today, he has the strongest popularity among the people.

After all, they don't have a son with traffic like Payton, and they don't have enough political donations to promote public opinion.

In the party, though, he has rivals - MP Mr John Paterson.

The congressman shared the same name as Rockefeller, the father of modern sales, but the two had nothing to do with each other.

However, this congressman is a veteran member of the Democratic Party. He has followed many bigwigs in the party. He has very old qualifications and has a large number of supporters.

As for George Wallace, who makes Peyton a little jealous, there is a big difference between the two in terms of qualifications and reputation.

Not surprisingly, he has been eliminated early.

But by the next campaign, when the civil rights movement was at its height, his segregation proclamations could be in effect.

White people will never be stingy with their votes.

……

In the following days, Payton was also busy integrating resources.

With the loan funds in place, he successively acquired several chemical companies in the state, merged with the previously acquired BASF, established a complete chemical industry chain, and established Chris Chemical.

It is currently the largest chemical industry company in the state.

Japan's sales channels have been rolled out long ago. He entered the chemical industry, and many garments made of chemical materials have been designed.

Next comes production.

At the same time, in Japan, preparations for the establishment of chemical branch companies and corresponding factories have also been put on the agenda.

The temptation of chemical technology and the good response of Chris’ investment in Japan over the years, the Japanese local government intends to promote peace and provides various policy benefits and support.

Not surprisingly, it will be completed by the end of February.

As for the clothing company's plan to enter the federal market, it is also going on at the same time. The company plans to use Alabama as its first sales place.

It can also be used to repel the heat of DuPont and Mr. Chris's campaign before.

Things are coming together these days, and Peyton is on the go, busy every day.

But the McDonald's fast food restaurant doesn't need to worry about Payton at all. Ray Klock is a very reassuring guy.

In a short period of time, with Payton's support, he opened more than 400 stores in Alabama.

The quick meal service of no more than 30 seconds is deeply loved by the public, and the turnover is also rising steadily.

He even plans to expand to a thousand in the next three months. He has already gathered a large number of employees and is training them intensively.

The phone rang, and Payton answered it: "This is Chris, are you?"

A young man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Mr. Chris, my name is Warren Buffett, and I am the head of an investment club. I want to introduce you to an investment plan if I want to spare you a little time. "

Peyton frowned slightly, but did not hang up the phone.

Warren Buffett, the name is worth a few minutes of his time.

"Investment club? Where did you get my phone?" Peyton asked.

Since the publication of his first novel, various investment firms have been calling him, wanting to help him manage money.

But over the years, as he has established cooperative relationships with various firms.

Basically, these calls are made to the firm, directly connected with his financial advisor, and no one calls him anymore.

His phone information is confidential, and Peyton was a little curious, where did Buffett get his phone number, and who leaked his information?
Buffett didn't hesitate either: "Smike Lincoln, an employee of Deloitte, I spent five hundred dollars to get your phone number from him."

"You are decisive!" Peyton laughed.

"Because of this news, I will give you 3 minutes!"

"Washington Post Company and its subsidiary "Washington Post", do you know if Mr. Chris is interested?" Buffett said directly.

When Peyton heard this, his heart moved.

Entering the media industry has always been his idea.

Whether it is the creation of a book publishing house or the acquisition of Marvel, it is all about this aspect.

Although he can use the propaganda tools of the Langdon Group because of his status as the second shareholder of the Langdon Group, it is not his own industry after all.

Even after the listing, the sweet period between him and Random House has almost come to an end.

If he hadn't still held the original sin series in his hands, they would have cut off their relationship long ago. This is also the reason why he pledged the shares of Random House without hesitation.

In addition, because the funds in his hands were insufficient before, Payton was only tempted, but he didn't do it for a long time.

Now that the funds are sufficient, if there is a suitable opportunity to start a mobile phone, it can be considered!

Sensing Peyton's silence, Buffett felt excited. He knew that the sale was successful this time, and he guessed right, the other party was really interested!
He had just founded an investment club and was in need of financial support. After seeing some information about Peyton in the newspaper, he made a decisive call.

"Introduce the situation of "Washington Post", don't exaggerate, I will investigate later!"

"Of course!"

Buffett nodded, and quickly began to introduce.

"The Washington Post, founded by Stillson Hutchins in 1877, became the first daily newspaper in Washington, D.C. in 1880..."

"In 1933, due to poor management... it was bought at a bankruptcy auction by the financier and former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Eugene Meyer, and became Mr. Meyer's family business."

"Over the years, The Washington Post has been run by Mr. Meyer's son-in-law, Philip L. Graham, and its circulation and influence have continued to rise."

"In 1954, the postal company acquired its main competitor in Washington, DC. The Washington Post became the only daily newspaper in Washington, DC. It is currently the newspaper with the largest circulation in Washington, with sales of 50 issues per issue. At the same time, the company also owns a radio station and a TV station..."

After listening to the introduction, Peyton frowned slightly: "In other words, this is a very high-quality newspaper? The sales volume is still increasing."

"And also carried out the layout of the rest of the media field?"

"Good!" Buffett agreed.

"Then why do you think they're going to sell the company to me?"

Buffett smiled slightly and said, "Because Philip L. Graham is currently suffering from severe bipolar disorder, sometimes irritable and sometimes withdrawn."
