Chapter 705 Winning over and Contacting the Media Group
If the islanders let go of the acquisition of real estate now, or buy shares in the island companies he likes, Li Changheng is not willing.
It was almost September at this time, and it was just over a month before the fourth desert war.
When the oil embargo begins, the market value of real estate, industrial and financial investment companies around the world will plummet.
In order to obtain a large amount of foreign investment to rescue the market, the islanders may beg him to buy a house or land.
As for investing in several major island companies, automobile and steel companies are definitely out of the question.
Not only because the profitability of the steel and automobile industries in the island country at this time is far stronger than that of the semiconductor industry, which is still in its infancy.
And this also involves the field of military industry.
The islanders would rather relax restrictions on acquisitions in other areas than allow Li Changheng to intervene in these two industries.
However, the telecommunications industry, which has not yet received much attention, may be able to obtain a fixed-line access permit like the London Telephone Company, and in the future, it will be able to enter the field of unlimited communication, that is, the field of mobile phones.
Thinking about it carefully, Li Changheng suddenly felt that this matter is not impossible.
The Telephone and Telegraph Company, which will rule the telecommunications industry in the island country in the future, was not established until 1976.
At this time, the telecommunications industry in the island country not only has no industry standards, but has been technically suppressed by Westinghouse Electric in the United States.
Once the market access qualification is obtained, Li Changheng is confident enough to kill other island country telecom companies.
Moreover, the island country's low labor costs and not bad research and development capabilities are all good things he has been coveting.
As long as they fully control the telecommunications companies in the island country, they only produce cordless phones at low cost, and then use offshore companies to take away most of the profits from exports.
The island country is just his foundry and research and development base.
Moreover, R&D institutions can also be controlled by laboratories registered in the United States, and not only the technology will be in hand by then.
Even if taxes are paid, the amount will be kept to a very low level.
Moreover, even if Li Changheng did not establish a cordless phone manufacturer in the island country, before the 1990s, the islanders themselves would become the world's largest manufacturer of communication equipment.
Li Changheng is very happy to take away the profits of the islanders and feed himself.
However, Li Changheng also knew in his heart that if he wanted to force the islanders to submit, he couldn't give them too much time.
Otherwise, once the wave of boycott against companies in the island country is sorted out, I will probably become the most unpopular investor in the island country.
After thinking about it, he simply packed his luggage and flew back to New York on a private jet.
Then through the relationship, I found Randall Hearst.
As the helm of the largest media organization in the United States, Randall's influence must be much stronger than that of Li Changheng.
But still the same sentence, whoever makes more money is the most popular person.
And, despite the fact that Randall controls more than 300 newspapers, magazines, radio, television stations, and other industries.
But based on shares alone, his net worth is not even half that of Li Changheng.
Not to mention that in the eyes of Americans, Li Changheng can be found to have a net worth of more than 3.5 billion U.S. dollars within 5 years, and he is definitely a god-kissed man.
As long as you hook up with Li Changheng, making money is not a problem, but how much you earn is.
Moreover, although the specific content of the recent public opinion turmoil against the island nation is not very clear to Randolph, the speculation that Li Changheng is the mastermind behind the scenes is not a secret.
Therefore, regardless of money and influence, Randolph is not only full of anticipation for Li Changheng's sudden visit, but also unwilling to neglect him, an upstart who is obviously still on the rise.
Besides, in order to make money, things like face are secondary.
As soon as Li Changheng's car stopped, he saw Randolph and a dozen of his men waiting outside the gate of the group headquarters.
The old guy actually took a step ahead of Banks, stepped forward, and opened the door of the Rolls-Royce.
With a kind smile on his face, Li Changheng smiled and said, "Welcome, Your Excellency."
Li Changheng came back to his senses, and immediately thought that the old guy must have something to ask for if he put down his face like this.
And this is a good thing for him.
With a smile on his face, he quickly got out of the car.
Then he held Randolph's hand with both hands in a very respectful manner, "I'm a little flattered, Mr. Hurst."
After hearing this, Randolph frowned faintly, thinking helplessly in his heart, it seemed that the young man in front of him was indeed smart and successful, and he didn't even have the slightest thought of arrogance.
If Randolph knew that Li Changheng had been making plans for the media group since the beginning of this year, he probably wouldn't have thought it would be so easy to talk about now.
Fortunately, Li Changheng knew in his heart that if he talked about buying shares as soon as he met, he was not looking for cooperation, but to demonstrate or look down on others.
The two exchanged compliments before Randolph was in a hurry to introduce his daughter Tina Hearst.
Li Changheng smiled and stretched out his hand to Tina, "Nice to meet you, little princess of the Hurst family."
Seeing Li Changheng addressing Tina like that, the surrounding senior management of the media group immediately smiled.
Tina, who was fairly tall, bowed her knees with surprise and a bright smile, and gave a lady's salute.
Then he said, "Your Excellency, to you, I am not a princess."
"NO", Li Changheng waved his hands with a smile, "As long as your surname is Hearst, you are a princess in the media field."
This statement is clearly metaphorical, alluding to Randolph as the king of the media field.
However, even if Randolph understood, the smile on his face was even brighter.
After all, the person who said this was Henry Lee, a man who only spent 5 years and possessed more wealth than the generations of the Hearst family, who spent more than a hundred years accumulating.
Since the atmosphere of the meeting was good, Li Changheng asked the Hearst family, and Randolph also hoped to catch up with Li Changheng to earn some extra money.
In the ensuing conversation, the two sides quickly reached a verbal agreement on cooperation.
Then an article written by Li Changheng himself, "How will the island country defeat the United States in the future" soon appeared on the front pages of more than a dozen newspapers in the United States.
For cheaters who know the general direction of the future, Li Changheng only needs to know the result and the correct answer.
Combining the collected data, it is easy to infer and predict how the future island country will push the same type of companies in the United States to a desperate situation step by step in the fields of steel, automobiles, semiconductors and household appliances.
As soon as this article came out, there was already a commotion. People on the east and west coasts who boycotted island products seemed to have found a basis and the biggest supporters.
After strongly agreeing with Li Changheng, some people began to praise him.
It seemed that the more powerful Li Changheng was, the more correct he said.
And those capitalists who have long been robbed of the market by island companies, of course, will not let go of the opportunity to take revenge and regain the market.
