Chapter 1084 Oriental Daily Changes Ownership!
What surprised Yang Ming.
This time he did not meet with Ma Tingqiang, and Mai Lisi only sent an employee from the acquisition department to meet with Ma Tingqiang. Ma Tingqiang expressed his willingness to sell Oriental Daily directly to Empire Group at the current market value.
Oriental Daily has not yet been listed, but it can be evaluated based on its sales and annual income.
At this time, the Ma family no longer has other nearby transaction conditions as a way to sell Oriental Daily to Empire Group.
It is obvious that the Ma family may have predicted something.
After all, according to the current thunderous action of the Governor's Office, even if the Ma family continues to control Oriental Daily, it will never be the same as before.
In the chairman's office.
Mai Lisi met Yang Ming.
At first, Mai Lisi was very happy to learn that the Ma family was going to sell the newspaper with the largest sales volume in Hong Kong to Empire Group. However, when Mai Lisi saw the information of the Ma family and Oriental Daily, he was really shocked.
Of course, now Yang Ming has even bought giants like MGM-United Artists in M country, and acquiring a Hong Kong newspaper company is nothing.
Moreover, in recent years, the Empire Group has actually taken control of some of the newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong after swallowing up companies such as Wharf Holdings.
For Yang Ming, it doesn’t matter whether these newspapers and periodicals make money or not. The most important thing is that they are part of his ‘voice’ and are used to speak for him to the outside world.
In addition.
Many media and periodicals in Hong Kong actually have this function.
If you simply rely on these newspapers and periodicals to make money, it is actually impossible.
Although Hong Kong is a small place with an area of only one-fifth of Shanghai, its news media industry is extremely developed.
At its peak, there were hundreds of legally registered newspaper companies and hundreds of magazines and weeklies in Hong Kong. As for those that were illegal and borderline, it was impossible to count them.
In addition to these, there are also foreign media newspapers and periodicals, including English and other foreign language newspapers, and it is unknown how many there are.
It can be said that the media industry in Hong Kong is very developed.
However, when the Internet era and the mobile communication era become more developed, many of these traditional media newspapers and periodicals will definitely be vulnerable and go bankrupt directly.
Like the Hu family's Sing Tao Daily, it was one of the best media in Hong Kong at its peak. In addition, Sing Tao Daily was almost everywhere in Southeast Asia and even in the Chinese community around the world.
However, after the 1990s, Sing Tao Daily gradually began to decline.
"Boss, now that the Ma family has not put forward any other additional conditions, I think we can acquire Oriental Daily." Mai Lisi said.
Without any additional conditions, it is a normal acquisition.
In this way, the Empire Group swallowed up Oriental Daily, the media newspaper with the highest sales in Hong Kong. For the Empire Group and even Yang Ming, as his "voice", it can also play a lot of roles.
Now Yang Ming and the Empire Group are both rich and powerful, and they just lack important media newspapers to speak for him.
"Ma Lisi, you talk to the Ma family, and you pay the right amount."
However.
Yang Ming thinks that there will be some stock market crashes around the world next year, which is also an opportunity for the Empire Group to swallow up other listed media newspapers in Hong Kong.
Mai Lisi left.
. . .
Three days later.
What many people in Hong Kong, even readers of Oriental Daily, did not expect was.
The Empire Group bought the Oriental Daily, the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong, from the Ma family at a price of HK$1 billion.
The news of this acquisition still caused a lot of shock and sensation in Hong Kong.
After all, the Oriental Daily has a maximum sales volume of more than 500,000 copies, and usually has 200,000 to 300,000 copies. The sales volume is very terrifying. Basically, as long as there is a little money in Hong Kong, people will buy a copy of the Oriental Daily to read.
Those who have no money or have not purchased it can also read it from the Oriental Daily they have subscribed at home.
Deep Water Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Li Family.
Li Jiacheng was going home from work.
When he was driving back, he had heard the news that the Empire Group had acquired the Oriental Daily. In addition, it was also reported that the Ma family took the initiative to sell this newspaper company to the Empire Group.
As for why?
Li Jiacheng couldn't figure it out.
After all, as the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong, if it is listed normally, the market value should not be low. Now the Ma family took the initiative to sell the Oriental Daily to the Empire Group.
Li Jiacheng took his briefcase and sat down on the sofa after his wife Zhuang Yueming opened the door. In front of him was a copy of the Oriental Daily Evening News.
Li Jiacheng and Zhuang Yueming usually like to read newspapers and magazines.
Basically, the couple read all the major media newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong.
In addition to being able to read some information they need to know from newspapers and magazines, they mainly get information in this era, except for media newspapers and magazines, that is, TV news and radio news.
However, it is impossible to watch TV news anytime and anywhere.
"Madam, the Empire Group has just acquired the Oriental Daily."
The Empire Group acquired the Oriental Daily?
Zhuang Yueming hung Li Jiacheng's suit on the hanger beside her, and she was also a little surprised.
"Sir, why did the Empire Group suddenly acquire the Oriental Daily?"
"I heard that the Ma family took the initiative to sell the Oriental Daily to the Empire Group."
Take the initiative to sell?
Although the acquisition price is 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is a good acquisition price. After all, according to the current profit of the Oriental Daily, it will be difficult to get this price for many years.
"Sir, why did the Ma family suddenly sell the Oriental Daily?"
"I'm thinking that the Ma family's business may have been greatly affected after this thunder operation."
Li Jiacheng and his wife knew about the Thunder Operation plan.
On the surface, it was caused by the kidnapping of Wang Dehui and his wife, chairman of the Yinhua Group, in the Governor's Office. In fact, it was the Governor-General's Office's crackdown on security in Xiangjiang that caused many prisons and detention centers in Xiangjiang to be overcrowded.
These Ma brothers are actually fellow villagers of Li Jiacheng.
Li Jiacheng and his wife knew exactly what they relied on to make their fortune.
Now that the Ma family has taken the initiative to sell Oriental Daily to the Imperial Group, Li Jiacheng and his wife feel that it is not that simple.
However, no matter what, the Oriental Daily has changed its owner, and things will definitely be different from now on.
"Sir, do you want to continue subscribing to Oriental Daily?"
The reason why Zhuang Yueming said that was mainly because some time ago, Mr. Yang was too sensitive to Sir Yang. It seemed that whatever Sir Yang did would irritate Li Jiacheng.
Now that Oriental Daily has changed hands and has become the property of Imperial Group and Sir Yang, Zhuang Yueming is afraid that Mr. Zhuang will be unhappy after seeing it.
"Definitely stay subscribed."
that's all.
Oriental Daily, the most popular and influential media newspaper in Hong Kong, changed hands directly under circumstances that many people could not figure out, and became the property of Sir Yang and the Imperial Group.
