The two of them shook hands and reached a preliminary consensus.
To be specific, they needed to find a professional lawyer to sign the contract.
As for whether The New York Times was worth the price, Li Zixuan actually knew.
In the future, in 1896, after George Jones 'death
, the third owner of The New York Times, Adolf Oaks, bought The New York Times, which was on the verge of bankruptcy and had only
a circulation of 9,000 at that time, for only 75000 US dollars.
However, don't forget that The New York Times was still in debt and losing more than 2500 US dollars a week.
The New York Times was still a large-scale newspaper with a circulation of 90,000 and spread all over the country.
Most importantly, it was profitable.
It could be said that George Jones had only offered 150,000 USD, which was a huge bargain for Li Zixuan.
After all, if the news was leaked, there would be no lack of buyers for the price of 150,000 USD.
"In the future, I will always keep Mr. Jones's office in the New York Times!”
Li Zixuan returned the favor.
Hearing this, George Jones revealed a gratified smile. At this moment, he felt that entrusting the newspaper that he and his companions had spent their entire lives on to this young man with great potential
was a wise decision, because this Chinese child was a grateful person.
Such a person might be able to bring The New York Times to a new level.
"There's no need. I'm already very satisfied that an old man like me can let go of my heavy burden and find a home for my child. There's nothing else to miss!”
said George Jones.
However, Li Zixuan did not agree.
In the future, there would always be an empty room in the New York Times in Times Square with the sign of Jones's managing editor's office on it.
This was Li Zixuan's gratitude to the old man for selling him The New York Times.
Li Zixuan sat in the editor-in-chief's office for a while. To prevent any more delays, he would send a lawyer over tomorrow to sign the contract.
George Jones did not object to this.
After Li Zixuan left, he handed over all the editors in the newspaper office to the managing editor's office.
Finally, let me tell you something about the
Although most of the editors were reluctant to let the old man leave the newspaper office, they still had to carry on with their lives. They knew that they needed to adapt to the new boss.
The next morning, the daily check-in time
was Ding... Today's sign-in is complete…Obtained a brooch in the shape of a daffodil!”
"Brooch!?" When Li Zixuan took out the check-in brooch from the system warehouse on his bed,
even a man like him who didn't like shiny things was dazzled by the item.
Then, he saw the system's comment on this brooch. This item was the one in the future to celebrate the wedding of Elizabeth II.
A 54.5-carat pink diamond and 203 white diamonds given to the Queen by the Australian geologist John Williams. They were made by Cartier.
"As expected of a Level 4 check-in. Even now, this thing is worth more than 500,000 USD!”
Although Li Zixuan didn't have much knowledge about diamonds,
the 23.6-carat perfect round diamond that had been cut was worth more than 400,000 USD.
If it was put up for auction in the future, this thing could easily fetch 100 million US dollars.
However, although this thing was quite valuable, Li Zixuan was not prepared to sell it.
This was because he did not lack money. Moreover, if his family wanted to level up to five levels, they would need a title in addition to 100 million US dollars.
Hence, he put the brooch back into his space and prepared to give it to Elizabeth as a birthday present a few days later.
After eating the breakfast prepared by the hotel, Li Zixuan brought Bob, who had arrived in New York in advance, to the headquarters of The New York Times.
Before noon, both parties signed the contract.
From today onwards, Li Zixuan became the owner of The New York Times, a newspaper with more than 90,000 copies in the United States.
After sending off George Jones, the first thing Li Zixuan did when he became the owner of the newspaper was to increase the salary of all the editors in the newspaper
by 20%.
Sure enough, the editors were all happy to see him do this.
"At the same time, I plan to move The New York Times to 42nd Street in Manhattan in the future and build my own newspaper office building!”
Instantly, the editors cheered.
The New York Times had been using a rental method to save money.
They didn't have their own office building, so the newspaper office was very crowded.
In summer, it was so hot and stuffy that it felt like it had been fished out of water.
Now that they heard that the new boss wanted to build their own office building, which editor wouldn't like it?
Some people who still missed their previous boss seemed to have forgotten about it and joined in the cheers.
"In addition, I will not change Mr. Raymond's and Mr. George's philosophy in running the newspaper. We will still strive for 'truthfulness, fearlessness, fairness, and no party, region, or any special interests.'”!”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
For these editors, they were more concerned about the fate of the newspaper than a raise or a change of office.
They didn't like the New York Times, which had been founded for decades, suddenly changing its style to cater to certain people or political parties.
After a round of lecturing, Li Zixuan asked everyone to continue with their work while
he asked the deputy managing editor, Ed, to stay.
"How do you think it would cause a sensation if you want to advertise a fast food restaurant?!”
Li Zixuan asked as he sat on the chair.
Hearing this, the deputy editor thought for a moment and said,"I wonder what your relationship with that fast food restaurant is?”
"It's mine!" said Li Zixuan.
"Is there anything special about your fast food restaurant?”
Li Zixuan thought for a moment and said,
"I invented invented a special soft drink. Then I let people learn the Hans Empire's hamburger and Turkey's barbecue technique!”
"It's the shop owner's invention again!" The deputy editor-in-chief had a look of admiration on his face. Then, he suddenly took out an old New York Times newspaper from his office table
."I think this guy can help the boss and make the fast food restaurant sensationalize New York!!”
