Chapter 1084 Oriental Daily changes owners!
Something that surprised Yang Ming.
This time he did not meet with Ma Tingqiang. Meris only sent a staff member from the acquisition department to meet with Ma Tingqiang. Ma Tingqiang expressed his willingness to sell Oriental Daily directly to the Imperial Group at the current market value.
Oriental Daily has not yet been listed on the market, but it can be evaluated based on its sales volume and annual income.
At this time, the Ma family had no other nearby transaction conditions as a way to sell Oriental Daily to the Imperial Group.
It was obvious that the Ma family might have predicted something.
After all, according to the current thunderous actions of the Governor's Mansion, even if the Ma family continues to control the Oriental Daily, it will never be the same as before.
In the chairman's office.
Mai Li Si met Yang Ming.
At first, Merliss was very happy when he learned that the Ma family was going to sell Xiangjiang's largest-selling newspaper to the Imperial Group. However, when he saw the information from the Ma family and Oriental Daily, Meris was really shocked.
Of course, now that Yang Ming has even bought giants like MGM-United Artists in Country M, the acquisition of a Hong Kong newspaper company is nothing.
What's more, in recent years, the Imperial Group has swallowed up companies such as Wharf and has actually controlled part of Hong Kong newspapers and periodicals.
For Yang Ming, it doesn't matter whether these newspapers make money or not. The most important thing is that they serve as part of his "voice" and are used to speak to the outside world for him.
Besides.
In fact, most of the media and newspapers in Hong Kong have this function.
If we simply refer to making money from these newspapers and periodicals, it is actually impossible.
Although Xiangjiang is a small place, with an area only one-fifth that of Shanghai, its news and media industry is extremely developed.
At its peak, there were hundreds of newspaper companies and hundreds of magazines and periodicals legally registered and distributed in Xiangjiang. As for those that were illegal and marginal, it was impossible to count them.
In addition to these, there are also foreign media newspapers and periodicals, including newspapers and periodicals in English and other foreign languages. I don’t know how many there are.
It can be said that the media industry in Xiangjiang is very developed.
However, when the Internet era and the mobile phone communication era become more and more developed, many of these traditional media newspapers and periodicals will definitely be vulnerable to collapse.
Sing Tao Daily, owned by the Hu family, was one of the top media outlets 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." Meris said.
If there are no nearby conditions, it is a normal acquisition.
In this way, the Imperial Group swallows up Oriental Daily, the largest-selling media newspaper in Hong Kong. For the Imperial Group and even Yang Ming, it can also play a lot of roles as his 'voice'.
Now Yang Ming and the Imperial Group are both wealthy and powerful, but there is still a lack of important media and newspapers to speak out for him.
"Mailisi, you can talk to the Ma family about how much money you need."
but.
Yang Ming feels that there will be some stock market crashes around the world next year, which will be an opportunity for Imperial Group to swallow up other listed media newspapers in Hong Kong.
Melis also left.
. . .
three days later.
What many people in Xiangjiang and even readers of Oriental Daily did not expect was this.
The Imperial Group bought Oriental Daily, the number one selling newspaper in Hong Kong, from the Ma family for HK$10 billion.
This acquisition news still caused shock and excitement to many people in Xiangjiang.
After all, the Oriental Daily has a maximum sales volume of more than 500,000 copies, and usually sells 200,000 to 300,000 copies. The sales volume is very scary. Basically, anyone in Xiangjiang who has some money will be used to buying a copy of Oriental Daily.
Those who have no money or have not purchased it can also read it from the Oriental Daily that they subscribe to at home.

Li family.
Li Jiacheng was returning home from get off work.
When he came back by car, he had already heard the news about Imperial Group's acquisition of Oriental Daily. In addition, it was also reported that the Ma family took the initiative to sell this newspaper company to the Imperial Group.
As for why?
Li Jiacheng couldn't even figure it out.
After all, as the largest-selling newspaper in Xiangjiang, if it is listed normally, its market value should not be low. Now the Ma family has taken the initiative to sell Oriental Daily to the Imperial Group.
Li Jiacheng took his briefcase and after his wife Zhuang Yueming opened the door, he sat down on the sofa. In front of him was a copy of the Oriental Daily Evening News.
Li Jiacheng and Zhuang Yueming usually like to read newspapers and periodicals.
Basically, the couple reads all the major media and newspapers in Hong Kong.
In addition to seeing some information you need to know from newspapers and periodicals, the main way to obtain information in this era is from media newspapers and periodicals, that is, TV news and radio news.
However, like TV news, it is impossible to watch it anytime and anywhere.
"Madam, the Imperial Group has just acquired Oriental Daily."
Imperial Group acquires Oriental Daily?
Zhuang Yueming hung Li Jiacheng's suit on a hanger nearby, and she was a little surprised.
"Sir, why did the Imperial Group suddenly acquire Oriental Daily?"
"I heard that it was the Ma family who took the initiative to sell Oriental Daily to the Imperial Group."
Actively selling?
Although the purchase price is one billion Hong Kong dollars, it is considered a good purchase price. After all, based on the current profit of Oriental Daily, it will be difficult to obtain this price for many years.
"Sir, why did the Ma family suddenly sell 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's Office's strict 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 it.
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.
