American Fortune Life
Chapter 393: Stunning Release (Sangen)
Washington, D.C., just four blocks from the White House, at a corner, stands a 60-year-old building like a plaid, with a yellowbrown overall exterior wall, two flagpoles above the main entrance to the building, two flags, one American flag, and the Civil War District of Columbia flag, the headquarters of the Post Group.
Today, the staff at the post headquarters clearly felt the atmosphere was different, and Vice President Catherine was waiting in the lobby with a group of group management at about 9: 00.
The lady at the front desk stood tall and her smile on her face remained the same. When she was confused, she saw a Cadillac wearing a foot-length SUV entering the front square, followed by a black Mercedes-Benz, followed by four SUVs.
“Come on, let's go.” Catherine spoke to Jon Micham, editor-in-chief of Newsweek magazine around her and took the lead at the door.
“Bang, bang..." ”
After opening the door and closing the door, tall and handsome Andy walked out of the building door with a smile on his face, and Katherine walked down the stairs to greet her up, behind which a team of nearly twenty people followed.
“Hello, Miss Catherine... ”
“Hello, Mr. Smith, inside please... ”
Andy nodded to Jon and walked with Katherine to this historic, prestigious newsgroup headquarters building.
There was no argument and noise in the conference rooms, some of which were merely brushes of documents that were constantly flipped by staff from both sides, while the heads of both sides waited silently with a smile on their faces.
Earlier negotiations had already agreed on a number of terms. All they were doing was confirming the rules and handing over some important documents. No one implicitly explored the $115 million loan that had been withdrawn by the Postal Group. After all, the $1 acquisition price seemed to be a good news point, but on the other hand, it was also a disgrace to the Postal Group.
If you look at Donald Graham, chairman of the newspaper group in the middle, and his sister Larry Weymouth, as well as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Leonard Jr., with a slightly gloomy look on his face, even though the baggage has been thrown away, the river of precedence has also opened as a descendant of the Graham family, who has begun to sell important assets.
If they knew that the sale of assets sent out to Newsweek was just the beginning for their families, they didn't know how they would feel.
After receiving Li Xiaoying's unmistakable nod, Alvitelli quickly checked the documents he had just picked up and gave them to Andy, “Boss, no problem! ”
Andy didn't pick up the file in Al's hand, and the one with a sunny smile on his face more handsome than the younger version of Keanu, looked across the street at Donald Graham and said, "Mr. Graham, we can get started. ”
Donald Graham reached for his glasses and nodded in a complex mood.
Taking over the contract handed over by Andy's group, he paused for a moment on the contract with Montblanc's pen tip in his hand, and finally sighed and brushed his name.
Andy took a deep look at each other and signed his name in triplicate without hesitation.
“Thanks!”
“From today on, it's yours, young man! ”
Andy's curvature at the corner of his mouth increased dramatically, shaking his hand tightly with Donald Graham, releasing and exchanging contracts with each other, and Andy reached out behind him.
Tory Blake, a little assistant dressed in a light pink slim OL suit today, rushed up to hand over a brand-new dollar bill to the King of Demons, a piece of her eyes full of stars.
Donald Graham shook his head and laughed. Some helplessly took on a dollar in Andy's very serious hand. Turning to the people of the postal group behind him, he raised a dollar in his raised hand, making everyone's face look unusual.
Everyone knew about the loss of Newsweek and that it was a huge burden, but they knew that when they had it, they might get tired of cursing it, but at this moment, when it never belonged to them again, it was incredibly painful.
Andy doesn't care what Donald Graham thinks. If it wasn't for a joint press conference with the Post Group, he would have gone.
Andy looked at a stunning photograph in the Mail Group's Honor Showroom, featuring Catherine, and many of the characters in the photograph were once the world's greatest figures.
The Post had prompted a president to step down; for nearly four decades, Kai Graham had been in charge of Washington's social circle, feasting the president's prime ministers in her Georgetown mansion and dining with kings and queens in the White House.
But glory only represents the past, and Kay's legend will be unprecedented in Washington, because times are different.
It is unthinkable that Andy should admire and respect all the successes and achievements made by Ms. Kai, especially President Watergate, with the strength of a newspaper, and eventually win.
“Bang bang. ”
“Mr. Smith, Vice President, the venue is ready, journalists from the media are in place, and the press conference can begin... ”
A staff member knocked on the door and came in to report to Andy and Catherine.
Catherine nodded and smiled at Andy: "Let's go, the stage is set, just wait for you. ”
Andy had a smile on his face, "This is a win-win! ”
At the press conference venue, Washington's various media outlets were very curious when they were notified. After all, as a leading media outlet in the Washington area, it was unusual not to report on its own and issue media invitations.
However, a keen professional hunch tells them that perhaps there is something really important to break out, after all, the Washington Post.
But as people walked in through the door, their faces became clearer, the whole press was a little surprised.
Andy Smith, the youngest billionaire under the banner of The New York Observer Weekly, is this publishing world new to the stock postal group, or to acquire...
Wait, no kidding. This is The Washington Post!
All kinds of suspicions excite journalists instinctively, without loud noise, all desperately taking pictures, waiting for the unexpected big news to break out.
“Thank you to your media colleagues for coming. The main content of today's press conference is... Just an hour ago, our newspaper group and Mr. Andy Smith entered into a takeover agreement and Andy Smith bought Newsweek for a dollar plus all the debt. Which means... ”
The whole scene was so loud that all the reporters in the press gallery were boiling, and everyone understood what was behind Catherine, who looked a little ugly.
A dollar for Newsweek, more than 70 years old? Are you kidding me? It's not Fool's Day, is it? Is the Washington Post insane? Ms. Kay will be...
Different ideas appear in people's minds, even when the scene becomes incredibly chaotic, noisy, noisy, and Andy Smith has always smiled confidently, sitting in the middle of the scene, watching the noise underneath the stage.
“Quiet! Everybody stay quiet! Next, give Mr. Andy Smith the time... ”
Everyone focused their eyes on that handsome face. The mood was all kinds of complicated. He was 22 years old. He was too young.
“Hello, I'm Andy Smith! First of all, I want to thank the newspaper group for their trust, and to tell you the truth, I'm equally excited at this moment, after all, it's Newsweek, and its value, I think, is very clear to everyone in the United States...
At its height, Newsweek was a central part of the United States national dialogue, and its coverage was "highly controversial, liberal and often half a step ahead of mainstream United States public opinion".
Your media friends here and my colleagues in Newsweek, whom I have yet to meet, should all be aware that the paper media has been challenged by a new era and that Newsweek has inevitably been affected.
