Chapter 173

On September 15th, at 2:00 p.m. local time in New York, Yang Cheng, who was in a hurry, appeared in the lobby on the first floor of 7bryantpark building. Susu walked up nervously, holding a folder and stepping on high heels, "Boss, you are back."

Yang Cheng's stern face eased slightly, "Well, how's the situation?"

"Since the opening of the market yesterday morning, there have been multiple accounts competing with us to buy shares close to the New York Times, and almost regardless of the cost. The price had already fallen below $5, but was pushed up by the other party, and it returned to the sideways market at $5. Seeing this, retail investors who held ordinary shares also stopped selling and chose to wait and see, and Mr. Alan is currently following up." Susu did not dare to delay, and followed Yang Cheng's hurried pace, making a report on the elevator.

Yang Cheng rubbed her chin, thinking about it, and then asked, "How many shares have we won?"

Susu glanced at the document, and simply replied, "More than 35 million shares, costing nearly 200 million US dollars, accounting for about 22% of the total share capital."

Yang Cheng nodded and muttered, "A lot."

Then he shook his head, frowned, and asked, "What happened to the Hearst Group?"

"I don't know either. Since the day before yesterday, the Hearst Group has unilaterally stopped its operations. Mr. Eddie tried to contact the other party, but the other party refused to explain on the grounds of commercial confidentiality."

As Susu's voice fell, the elevator reached the top floor, the elevator door opened and walked out, without looking back, he ordered, "Let Ruiz and Eddie come up to see me."

"It's the boss."

After returning to the office, a familiar feeling came over my face, and I was still comfortable in my own home.

Sitting on the boss chair, he took a breath, picked up the phone and was about to call Amanda, but after thinking about it, he put it down again. This action itself has no contract restrictions, and it depends on the relationship between the two bosses. I haven't figured out the facts now. For the truth, he rashly called to question, it is easy to break up the relationship, the gain outweighs the loss, or wait, at least let Yang Cheng investigate the inside story, he believes that the sudden appearance of the guy who robbed him of the New York Times this time is definitely not a coincidence, but I came prepared.

Without waiting, Ruiz and Eddie walked into the office together, greeted Yang Cheng, and sat across the desk.

"Have you found out who is robbing us?" Yang Cheng asked straightforwardly without talking nonsense.

"It's Slim, Carlos Slim." Eddie glanced at Ryze and gave a familiar name.

Yang Cheng raised her eyebrows and raised her voice, "That Slim from Telemex?"

Seeing Eddie nodding affirmatively, he hammered the table and said angrily, "I guess it's him, this old guy really has a soft spot for the New York Times."

The two didn't dare to argue, and after Yang Cheng finished venting, Eddie asked hesitantly, "Boss, is this Slim robbing us for himself? Or is he a rescuer invited by Little Arthur? After all, Slim Mu was also the largest shareholder of the New York Times before, and he has a close relationship with Arthur Jr. or the Schulzberg family."

"What's the current stock price?" Yang Cheng didn't answer directly, but asked about the stock price.

Eddie was stunned for a moment before he could react, and Ruiz answered, "$5.8, and it is expected to break through $6 before the market closes."

Yang Cheng didn't let go of his tangled brows, "What is Allen doing? How could the stock price rise so fast."

"Eh~ Mr. Allen did it on purpose. He said he wanted to find out the real intention of the other party." Ruiz hesitated to defend Allen.

"Hard to get?" A plan flashed in Yang Cheng's mind. Thanks to Yang Cheng, a Chinese friend who was deeply educated in the culture of country Z, Allen subtly accepted a lot of knowledge such as Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies. And applying it to trading skills, and relying on its digital sensitivity different from ordinary people, it is even more powerful, and there is no disadvantage in fighting in and out of the financial market.

As Alan's good brother, he immediately understood what Alan did.

But Yang Cheng showed a strange smile, "Go down and tell Allen to cooperate with Slim to drive up the stock price, and then wait for an opportunity to cash out and leave the market. We are not playing anymore!"

"What? Boss, we don't want the New York Times anymore?" Ruiz was just surprised,

Eddie couldn't sit still, this was a project he strongly advocated, and now he was going to abandon it without any results? I couldn't accept it for a while.

Yang Cheng waved his hand, signaled the excited Eddie to calm down, and explained, "This is called avoiding the edge. Slim came here with a large amount of funds, and with sufficient preparations, it is completely impossible to fight him at this time. It's meaningless, let him get the limelight first, and when he feels that we are no longer a threat, we will suddenly attack him to catch him off guard, and then it doesn't matter whether he is doing it for himself or to help little Arthur."

The precious wealth left by the ancestors is worth remembering by future generations. Even the elementary school students in country Z know the reason why they will be exhausted in one go. Is there anything more satisfying than having other people's blood to replenish energy for oneself?

Moreover, if he can knock down the stock price of the New York Times once, he can do it a second time. Can Slim still come up with money to rescue the market?

Of course, Yang Cheng will no longer buy bottoms from the stock market, and put the stock price on the sake of Slim's distress. The only way to go is peace talks. At that time, it doesn't matter whether it is a cash acquisition or a stock replacement, it will not be Yang Cheng. What is the final say?

But there is a prerequisite for this. It is necessary to find out what kind of style Amanda's crazy lady is playing. The effect of suppressing the New York Times will be greatly weakened without the help of the Hearst Group. It seems that he really has to come forward and have a good talk with Amanda. talk.

Eddie wanted to persuade, but Yang Cheng interrupted, "Okay, do as I want, the New York Times can't escape, sooner or later it will be yours, now we concentrate on conquering Time Magazine, Ruiz, you won't lose it again chain?"

Ruiz sat up straight, nodded again and again, "Don't worry boss, the negotiation is going well, both parties have strong wishes, and the results are expected to come out by the end of the month, and the final purchase price will not exceed 2 billion U.S. dollars."

"Very good, we will hold a press conference with Lionsgate to announce it to the public." Yang Cheng expressed satisfaction with Ryze's efficiency, and the price of 2 billion will not exceed his psychological bottom line, and he can win it in such a short time Time magazine company, it can be seen that Yang Cheng's push last time had an effect, and Ruiz put a lot of effort into it.

Asking the two subordinates to go back to work, Yang Cheng came to the window with her mobile phone, put her long legs on the tea table, rested her head on the back of the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, hesitated for a while, or dialed Georgina's number first Telephone.

"hey, where are you darling?"

"I'm in Australia, have you returned to New York?"

"That's right, I just came back, isn't it winter in the southern hemisphere? Why did you go there?"

"Australia is okay, it's not too cold, I guess I have to stay here for a while to deal with things, sorry dear, I can't accompany you."

"Oh, it's okay, you take care of yourself."

After saying a few love words and chatting for a few minutes, Yang Cheng hung up the phone. Georgina still had something to do, so she didn't mention Amanda.

Turning the brand new iphone6plus in his hand, his eyes were withdrawn from the ceiling, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

After a long while, I suddenly stood up, went back to the desk, took out the car keys from the drawer, turned around and walked out of the office, pressed the elevator, and said to Susu, who was buried in her work, "I'm out for errands, I won't be back today, come back early in the evening Rest at home."

"Ah? Oh, I see." Su Su pouted her lips and replied somewhat disappointed, but Yang Cheng had already boarded the elevator and didn't hear it at all.

A few minutes later, the silver-gray Lamborghini roared out of the underground garage and roared into the distance.

. . .

VII Identity Club on Fifth Avenue is a top customized skin care club in New York. Its history can be traced back to the end of the 18th century. I had to cure my skin disease to make my skin glow again, and it became the club's earliest secret skin care recipe.

Members of the Burnwicket family later opened the first private club in 1942, which continues to this day.

The reason why this type of club can survive for a long time is entirely because people love face. In the upper class society, not only the face of celebrities is the most important. The royal family, celebrities in politics, and business elites also need to attend various occasions in the best condition. This is how the club was born, and their practice of never dealing with the media has won the favor of countless members.

This top skin care customization club has built a zero-error skin file management system. When viewing the file, an exclusive skin password officer is required to open it. At the same time, it provides members with a 200-year-old private bank depository account.

Not only that, each room in the club is constructed with the most advanced sound insulation materials in the world to ensure the absolute privacy of members.

The most important thing is that the membership of the club is life-long, and the conditions for membership are extremely harsh. They must be recommended by two or more members of Jewish descent, and the requirements for membership in the media industry are even stricter.

Of course Yang Cheng is not here for beauty and skin care, his face is not so delicate, but to find someone, Lydia Hearst, Amanda's younger sister, if there is no accident, usually during the time period from 3 pm to 5 pm , Lydia will skin care and beauty in the club, which is almost Lydia's personal symbol.

After arriving at the clubhouse, he handed over the car to the bodyguards to park the car. Yang Cheng entered the clubhouse by himself. The decoration of the whole clubhouse was in the style of medieval European courts. From the crystal chandeliers to the carpets, tables and chairs, everything was gorgeous. The strong Meconopsis on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the touch of light blue not only exaggerates the taste of the owner of the clubhouse, but also adds a romantic and elegant atmosphere to the whole clubhouse.

Stepping on the red-carpeted stairs, Yang Cheng subconsciously slowed down, because in such an environment, people would unconsciously lift up their bodies, as if returning to a medieval palace, expressing their feelings with every gesture. Noble and elegant aristocratic demeanor.

When I came to the second floor, I finally saw the service staff. A blonde beauty in a black high-class uniform greeted me respectfully, "Mr. Yang, welcome."

Liu Yun is a frequent visitor here. He used to come here to pick up his mother, so the staff here are quite familiar with Yang Cheng.

"Thank you, but I'm not here to enjoy your top service, is Lydia here?" Yang Cheng put one hand in front and the other behind, bowed slightly and smiled politely.

"Is it Miss Hurst? She's here." Of course, the blond beauty would not show any impatience, as the shop bully would never happen here.

After asking by phone, the blond beauty said please, and took Yang Cheng to the door of a room on the fourth floor. Before the door was called, the door was pulled open from the inside. The bathrobe greeted Yang Cheng with a smiling face, "hello, jason."
