Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

"The "Reader Times" has arrived as scheduled. For us, the real offense and defense have just begun."

Mandao Jingping approached Toshio Fujiyama after the press conference of "Readers' Times". After all, the beginning of "Readers' Times" was also the beginning of a war for them.

Toshio Fujiyama was not so nervous about the worried tone of Mandao Jingping, because in his opinion, the beginning of "Readers Times" was not smooth, and the future can be said to be very bumpy.

"Don't take the "Readers Times" too seriously. Although there is Lin Daoqiu's financial support, it is not something you can do with money to run a newspaper in Neon. At least in front of us, "Readers Times" There’s no room for it yet.”

If it is another industry, Fujiyama Toshio would not dare to talk too much, but for the newspaper industry, which he has been in for decades, Fujiyama Toshio is still very confident.

Even if Lin Daoqiu recruited Takahashi Shanshang, Guqiao Tatsuya and others to serve as the top executives of "Reader Times", it does not mean that they will be successful.

One is a vengeful guy, and the other is the former deputy editor of Sankei Shimbun who left due to illness.

Although they are all very capable people, they all have their own shortcomings. Both of them have been away from the newspaper industry for several years, and their previous relationships and channels may have already It was someone else, and coupled with the pressure from the five major newspapers, Toshio Fujiyama did not think they had the ability to turn things around on Mount Takahashi.

"Lin Daoqiu still wants to copy his successful experience in North America this time. It is said that he has sent people to contact several medium-sized newspapers and magazines, planning to acquire them and merge them into "Reader Times". Small troubles and threats, what should I do?"

Man Dao Jingping thought that if those newspapers and magazines were really bought by Lin Daoqiu and merged into "Readers Times", then the daily sales of "Readers Times" would immediately increase, and then they would have to face It is not a just-started "Reader Times", but a newspaper with tens of thousands of newspaper publications sold every day.

"What do you think we can do? Let's wait and see. In this matter, we have no way to stop Lin Daoqiu's acquisition. After all, in terms of money, none of our five newspapers combined has as much money as Lin Daoqiu alone. Lin Daoqiu Just selling [-]% of the shares in "Readers Times" and New Oriental Pictures brought in nearly [-] billion U.S. dollars..."

As soon as Toshio Fujiyama said this, he couldn't help taking a deep breath in his heart. The money alone was equivalent to the income of their newspaper for many years.

Fortunately, the Morgan consortium did not support Lin Daoqiu. Otherwise, they would have no chance of winning if they just competed with Lin Daoqiu in terms of financial resources.

After all, no one would be foolish enough to bet a large sum of money on the newspaper industry. Even if some can be recovered every year, it would take several years to recover the cost. Therefore, basically in the industries invested by ordinary enterprises or companies, The ranks of newspapers and magazines are very low.

"At the beginning, you suggested that everyone join hands to deal with Lin Daoqiu, but now that the fire has already started, you actually said to wait and see what happens? Are you kidding me?"

Mandao Jingping did not expect that Toshio Fujiyama would say such a thing. He came to him today to discuss with him how to stop the "Readers Times", but Toshio Fujiyama actually said that he should wait and see what happens. This is not to sit idly by Is Reader Times growing?

If they are really successfully acquired by Reader Times, then they are likely to gain a firm foothold in Nihong, and it may be very difficult to deal with him by then.

"Don't be impatient. When I say wait and see what happens, I don't mean to sit idly by. We are powerless to prevent Lin Daoqiu from buying those newspapers and magazines. If this is the case, why should we waste our time and energy doing useless work? matter?"

"What I mean is that we should spend our energy on more useful places. At least when it comes to dealing with Lin Daoqiu, we must be prepared for a protracted war. At least it will take a few years to completely defeat him. Time, everyone must be mentally prepared for this.”

Hearing what Toshio Fujiyama said, Mandao Jingping couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead. Although he knew that what the other party said was true, when he thought of fighting with Lin Daoqiu for such a long time, Mandao Jingping couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead. A sense of powerlessness began to spread in Ping's heart.

But this is not about his family, it is a common crisis among the five major newspapers, so at least Mandao Jingping is not fighting alone.

"Mr. Jayden is still waiting for our reply. I think we can go and get in touch with him. It's best to figure out how he wants to help us."

For Toshio Fujiyama, he still has a very effective hole card, which is the help of Jayden Morgan.

Since the other party can say that he has a way to make "Reader Times" end its operation in Neon as soon as possible, then Jayden Morgan must have a way to do it, but he doesn't know what this way is.

"That guy made it clear that he is not a good thing. Although he said he was willing to help us deal with Lin Daoqiu, he didn't explain what the price was. If he offered a sky-high price, even if Lin Daoqiu was driven away, But then another problem arose.”

When Mandao Jingping thought of Jayden Morgan's face, he thought that guy was not a good person. Although this kind of subjective judgment was inappropriate, I don't know why Mandao Jingping always felt that Jayden Morgan was not sincere and willing to help them. Instead, I want to use this time's help to benefit from them.

"You also said it's just in case, but if on the other hand, what he wants is actually not important to us, or the price we have to pay is actually not high, then would you like to ask him to help you? To deal with Lin Daoqiu?"

Asked by Toshio Fujiyama, Manshima Keihei nodded in embarrassment.

If things are really as Toshio Fujiyama said, they only need to pay a small price in exchange for Jayden Morgan's help, then this deal is naturally very cost-effective.

But Mandao Jingping is still worried that Toshio Fujiyama's thoughts are a bit too taken for granted. The impression given to the world by these North American conglomerates has never been the kind that is helpful.

After working in the newspaper industry for so many years, Mandao Jingping has more or less learned about those super financial groups in North America. Although the degree of understanding is not deep, Mandao Jingping still knows more and more details than ordinary people. So he actually doesn't trust these super financial groups from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for the seriousness of the matter, Mandao Jingping really didn't want to have any cooperation with these super consortiums. After all, these guys are masters who eat people and don't spit out their bones.
