Nine Hundred and Fiftieth Chapters Good Birds Choose Trees and Live

Sitting in the seat that once belonged to his father, Little William didn't feel the excitement he imagined.

Even, there is a sense of bleak absurdity.

When he sat in this position, the heavy pressure made him a little out of breath.

Until today, he didn't understand the pressure his father was under in the past.

It's just that he has no way out, his brothers look at him like an enemy, and he has lost his most reliable ally in the group.

But Little William did not regret it, and the equity owned by Charlie Lee had already threatened him.

Although the act of buying minority shareholders is hidden, it is not an undetectable secret to Little William, who controls the operation of the entire group.

The power possessed by the opponent is too strong, it's ridiculous that his father thought he could control the situation.

Since you can't compete, choose to cooperate.

This was Little William's choice, and it was also the retreat he found for the Hearst family.

He does it whether anyone understands it or not.

"William." Standing in front of the open office door, Li Zitao knocked on the door and joked, "Congratulations now, isn't it too late?"

"I've been waiting for you, Charlie." Little William got up and walked around the large and thick mahogany desk, inviting him in and then walked to the wine cabinet.

"Tomorrow, cheers." Little William said with a toast.

"For tomorrow...I like this saying." Li Zitao smiled as he sipped the liquid in his glass.

I have to say that Old William is a smart enough person with a unique vision.

The successor chosen for the Hearst Group is equally outstanding. After realizing his actions, he decisively chose to exchange control of the Hearst Group with the smallest price.

It's not good to be dependent on others, and it's even more difficult to obey others.

But these are better than being kicked out. Little William has a thorough understanding of this point, which is also the reason why he chose to cooperate with him.

Li Zitao likes smart people, and William's choice can save him a lot of trouble.

And the secret agreement reached by the two also allowed Li Zitao to gain the dominance of the Hearst Group without any effort.

Sometimes it is not necessary to drive out the enemy to win the final victory.

And the lively conversation between him and Little William was not entirely hypocritical.

At least for now, both sides have got the desired results.

Although Little William kept his shares, all the voting rights held by his shares will be transferred to Li Zitao's name.

In fact, from today onwards, the person who speaks the most at the shareholder meeting is not the newly appointed Chairman William Jr.

But the second largest shareholder, Charlie Lee.

With enough rights in hand, whether LANC can gradually erode the Hearst Group depends on Harry.

If this still requires him, the boss, to come forward, are so many CEOs and senior executives under him all for free?

Harry's actions also did not disappoint him,

At the first shareholder meeting after the New Year, the so-called two-year plan was presented.

The cooperation between LANC and Hearst Group will only present a win-win situation, which will only benefit everyone.

After letting go of all kinds of barriers and prejudices, they will have 70% of the market share of American newspapers.

That is to say, in major cities, on average, 7 out of 10 people buy newspapers from two companies.

Compared with Hearst's most brilliant, 8 out of 10 people bought it, it still looks a bit lacking.

But taking into account factors such as population growth, the rise of the overall market, and the increase in newspaper companies, this number can create profits far beyond the peak of Hearst.

The wavering shareholders were finally persuaded by Harry.

Little William, who had been smiling since the beginning of the meeting and only spoke briefly, seemed to have increased the bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

Facing Harry's aggressiveness, he could only retreat step by step.

At this moment, he seemed to understand what his father meant by 'a pity'.

A temporary compromise cannot change the fate of the Hearst Group,

Judging from the current situation, it won't be long before LANC will completely dominate everything.

The three words Hearst will also become a thing of the past, which is something that Little William tried his best to avoid.

It's just that now he can only sit in a beautiful position and watch these developments under his eyes.

...

"Aren't you afraid that little William will jump over the wall?" On the beach in front of the Seaside Holiday Hotel, Li Zitao, Jonathan and Lawrence were lying in a row.

On the beach in front, the wives are playing with their children on the water.

The three families will appear here at the same time, and thanks to Doris.

It was she who invited Mary, and then Mary invited Avril Lavigne. The three men happened to be free, so they appeared here together.

"His retreat has been destroyed by himself, do you need to worry?" Li Zitao looked at his wife by the sea and said indifferently.

He will keep the shares of Little William, and the name of the Hearst Group will also be kept in the future, these are irrelevant to Li Zitao.

However, the newspaper industry, line facilities and channels that Hearst currently owns will all become nutrients for the growth of LANC.

I believe that Little William had already expected this result, but he just didn't want to admit it in his heart.

"Don't talk about Charlie anymore. He will always be fully prepared before doing anything. Let's talk about American Express. It has been getting a lot of attention recently." Lawrence looked at Jonathan with interest.

As he said, American Express has indeed been in the limelight recently, but the reason is a bit dumbfounding.

A tourist who was stranded in the Netherlands held an Amex traveler's check and found the local Amex branch that was half closed.

His only request is to cash this check and send him home by any means possible.

Because of the war, the Dutch branch and the headquarters lost 'connection,' because someone was listening to their communications.

The check held by this guest was issued during the war, which made the staff of the branch feel embarrassed.

However, considering that the other party is willing to use all the money after cashing out to fulfill his wish to let him go home, the person in charge of the branch is still willing to facilitate this transaction.

50,000 US dollars, send a person back to the United States from the Netherlands.

This is definitely the biggest deal of the year, and the profit is as high as a thousand times. They have no reason to refuse.

Therefore, American Express bribed the Italian military officer at the port to allow him to board the freighter smoothly.

At the same time, just to be on the safe side, a staff member of the branch also accompanied him on the way home.

After two transfers, they returned to New York on a freighter belonging to the United States.

The first thing the staff who accompanied him back after disembarking was to take him to the headquarters to confirm that he was the real owner of the check.

But I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to admit that he was lying after he set foot on land.

"I picked up that check by accident. I didn't mean to possess it. I just wanted to go home." He admitted his lie so generously.

But what he did was not unforgivable. The owner of the check was also confirmed to have suffered an accident, and American Express returned the check to the family of the victim in time.

However, what to do with this man who wanted to go home but chose to cheat but did not cause serious consequences has become a new focus of public attention.

As the protagonist, American Express became a little popular because of this.
