Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2354 Looking for a partner
"I would like to ask Mr. Oyer to help me find some high-quality partners."

Unexpectedly, Lin Daoqiu came to him today to find a suitable partner for "Reader Times", which was somewhat beyond Oye's expectation.

After all, Lin Daoqiu is the boss of MGM. With his reputation and influence in Hollywood, if he reveals that "Reader Times" wants to find someone to cooperate with, Oye believes that a large number of people will definitely come to him.

But Oye also believes that the partner Lin Daoqiu wants is more than just rich. I am afraid that what he wants should be someone who is powerful and influential in North America. Kind of consortium.

If this is the case, it is reasonable for Lin Daoqiu to come to him for help. After all, those big shots and consortiums are not something you can meet casually.

"Well, I understand Mr. Lin's meaning. Do you have any requirements for your partners?"

For Oye, it is not difficult to help Lin Daoqiu find a few partners, the difficulty is to meet Lin Daoqiu's requirements.

You must know that Merrill Lynch has many cooperative clients. These people are all big figures who are either rich or expensive, and there are many outsiders who have never even heard of it, but their backgrounds are very strong. kind.

"It can make "Reader Times" the top three newspapers in North America."

This was Lin Daoqiu's idea, and it was also his goal when he founded "Readers Times".

Lin Daoqiu founded "Readers Times" not for money, but to make "Readers Times" a world-renowned large media company.

As long as he has this kind of mouthpiece in his hands, it will have a very good guarantee for his future business and personal safety.

Unless Lin Daoqiu provokes some mysterious people who really can't be provoked, otherwise, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to encounter a situation like being bullied by Li Zhengnan and Fei Peng again.

"It seems that Mr. Lin has great expectations for the future of "Readers Times". I also hope that you can achieve this goal as soon as possible. I already know about these requirements you have raised, but I need a little time to find someone."

It is also impossible for Oye to help him find a suitable partner immediately after Lin Daoqiu puts forward the conditions. He also needs a little time to see the reaction of the outside world after releasing the news.

Lin Daoqiu's requirements are actually very high. If he just wants to find a company with sufficient funds or a few influential companies, then Oye can easily help him.

But since the goal of "Reader's Times" is to become one of the three major newspapers in North America, the companies and consortiums that Lin Daoqiu wants as partners believe that Lin Daoqiu will not like it at all.

"Then thank you Mr. Oye, I hope to hear your good news soon."

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will get this matter done as soon as possible. Please go back and wait for the good news."

Although it is not easy to find a suitable candidate for Lin Daoqiu, it is not that there are no candidates for Oye, it is just that they are not interested in Lin Daoqiu's "Reader Times".

After sending Lin Daoqiu away, Oye returned to his seat and picked up the phone to call several candidates.

"MGM boss Lin Daoqiu? He wants to find a partner for his "Reader Times"? This is really an interesting thing."

The first person to receive a call from Oye was the chairman of a large beverage group company in North America. When the other party learned that Lin Daoqiu was looking for a partner, he seemed a little interested in this investment from the tone of his speech.

"The sales of Lin Daoqiu's newspaper increased from 20 a day to [-] in less than a month. Based on such an increase, within five years, the "Readers Times" is likely to Will surpass the LA Times."

"Well, what you said is correct, but I'm not interested in newspapers. If MGM is looking for someone to invest, then I'm very interested in investing."

The other party's words basically told Oye that he had no interest in investing in Reader Times.

Oye obviously understood what the other party meant, so he hung up the phone after chatting for a few words.

The second and third calls were made one after another, but the answers Oye received were basically the same. They were very interested in Lin Daoqiu, but they were only interested in the MGM in his hand.

As for the just-born "Reader Times", these people don't seem to have any plans to buy shares. After all, a newspaper can bring them too little profit every year, so there is no need to do this at all.

When Oye hung up the third call, he looked very calm, at least Oye had already guessed that there would be such a result before making these calls.

The most valuable property in Lin Daoqiu's hands is MGM and Moli Studio. If these two companies are looking for partners, then Oye believes that Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to come to him for help, and a large number of people are willing to support him. Use the money to invest in shares.

It's just that newspapers like "Readers Times" are obviously not attractive to those who are used to making a lot of money, so it is normal for them not to invest in this newspaper.

Oye felt that it might be difficult to find a suitable partner or partner for Lin Daoqiu today, and he was about to leave work soon.

After thinking for a few seconds, Oye suddenly remembered something. At a reception a few days ago, he met an elder of a family and chatted with him for a while.

Although he basically didn't have much hope, Oye still called the other party.

"Mr. Yabs, hello, I'm Oye, did I bother you?"

"Mr. Oye, it's a pleasure to hear from you."

An old man's voice came from the opposite side. It sounded strong and powerful. It was impossible to imagine that the other party was already a 70-year-old man with white hair.

"Mr. Yabs, the thing is actually like this. I have a project here that needs to find an investor. I think you should be interested in this matter, so I gave you this call."

Then Oye told this man named Yabs about Lin Daoqiu's "Readers Times" looking for a partner.

At first, when the other party heard what Oye said, although he sounded very polite when he spoke, he was not very interested in the investment project Oye said.

After all, investing in a newspaper office is nothing to those who do big business, and the profit after one year is nothing at all.

But just when this Yabs was about to wait for Oye to finish his speech and find an excuse to decline, he suddenly heard a person's name from Oye's mouth, and that person was Lin Daoqiu.
