Chapter 125 Daily Life

The next day, the blue sky covered the ground like a silky quilt, and the greenery of Central Park washed people's eyes. Yang Cheng stood on the balcony, doing stretching exercises in the warm breeze, kicking his legs and expanding his chest, and finally used After finishing the morning exercise with 50 push-ups, he leaned his hands on the railing and took a deep breath. His pores were fully opened, like mouths greedily absorbing fresh air.

After the financing reception last night, I was going to spend a good night with Georgina to celebrate the success of the financing, but my mother called Yang Cheng home, and there were three sessions of interrogation.

Yang Sen and Liu Yun were both relieved and a little jealous that their son made such a big move without saying a word. Probably because they were not invited to the reception, they felt that they were ignored by their son. In fact, Yang Cheng never thought of this at all. After returning from Los Angeles I plunged into the company and didn't go home for many days. After the app was released, I held a reception non-stop, and I didn't have time to think about whether to invite my parents.

Fortunately, Yang Cheng was quite satisfied with last night's financing results. He released 20% of his shares in exchange for 2 billion US dollars in cash, and the support of giants such as Pershing Square and Morgan Stanley. Their energy combined, Enough to clear all obstacles to the acquisition of Time Magazine.

Oh, by the way, Georgina’s US$500 million is also included. In this way, New Era Media’s latest shareholding structure is: Yang Cheng’s Siwei Space holds 66% of the shares; Georgina holds 14% of the shares in name; Pershing Square holds 10% of the shares and is the third largest shareholder; investment firms led by Morgan Stanley divide up the remaining 10%.

Of course, this is not the final composition. Amanda Hearst, the crazy woman, did not arrive last night because she was on a business trip in Europe, but she called specifically to ask Yang Cheng to transfer 5% of the shares to her. Of course, the valuation cannot be based on the previous 5 billion. , but the latest 10 billion US dollars, that is, New Era Media currently holds a total of 3 billion US dollars in cash and is ready to start the acquisition mode.

After taking a warm shower, washing away the stinky sweat, he changed into refreshing home clothes, stretched his waist and yawned and walked downstairs. Yang Sen and Liu Yun were having breakfast and chatting about interesting things. The happy and warm scene made Yang Cheng's whole body Warm, or home is a warm harbor.

"Hey, welcome to our family's 6 billion rich man!" Liu Yun joked without turning her head when she heard the footsteps.

Yang Cheng paused, didn't he? It was only when his mother remembered that, according to the valuation of New Times Media, his net worth rose to more than 6 billion US dollars overnight, almost catching up with his grandfather Liu Muqian's lifelong struggle. mmp, this is the charm of capital.

However, he may be the most watery 6 billion rich man in history.

"Mom, don't tease me. You still don't know how much water is needed for the 6 billion?" Yang Cheng smiled wryly and sat beside her mother. She thanked the servant for serving the bowls and chopsticks, and took a soup dumpling to eat. stand up.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm not proud!" Mom said to Yang Sen with a smile.

Yang Sen also smiled helplessly, he has never gotten used to his wife's 'naughty' character after all his life.

Lao Huai looked comfortingly at Yang Cheng who was drinking soup through the straw, and suddenly sneered and said, "Good job, I guess Yuanshan's board of directors will be in trouble today, and I must blame me for splitting up the forum company, or why I wasn't on your board. company shares."

Yang Cheng put down the straw and tasted the delicious aftertaste, "Which company's soup dumpling is this? It's so authentic!"

Liu Yun patted Yang Cheng's head reproachfully, "Your father is working with you, so he just knows how to eat."

"Hey, with my dad's skills, those monsters in the company will be his opponents? I'm not worried." Yang Cheng laughed and gave a flattery, which made Yang Sen feel good.

"Let's eat your meal. Steamed buns like to eat. Let the chef make more. I think it's good. I haven't eaten such authentic soup dumpling for a long time." Liu Yun is also the master who can eat, and the soup dumpling is made of broth Frozen, stuffed into stuffing and turned into soup under the action of steam, they are all nutritious things, beautifying and beautifying, women's favorite.

"Mom, when does New York Fashion Week start?" Yang Cheng drank eight-treasure porridge,

It suddenly occurred to him that the three of them hadn't left when he was young, but he had dirty thoughts about one of the members, and he couldn't forget it.

"Just today, this year's Fashion Week is already ahead of schedule. Do you want to go see it?" Liu Yun yawned lazily and sat here with her father and son chatting with her chin propped up after she was full.

"Hmm~ I'll go with my friends, can you get me some invitations?" Yang Cheng said vaguely, put down his chopsticks and flattered his mother.

"Accompany a friend? Georgina? Let me warn you, it's okay to have fun, but don't get real feelings. If you don't leave our family, the Bloomberg family will not agree." Liu Yun talked about Yang Cheng's feelings. With renewed energy, he pinched Yang Cheng's arm and stared at her beautiful eyes threateningly.

Yang Cheng hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mom, I know, we know it well."

"There's a fart, remember to take safety measures when you do things, don't give me a mixed-race grandson." There is no need to explain the mother's toughness, Yang Cheng can only nod speechlessly, what is this all about? It is so uncomfortable to wear a balloon again. I don’t know that there is a technique called in vitro. . . Forget it, no more!

Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't answer, Liu Yun, who was making fun of herself, had no choice but to take out her anger on Yang Sen, "You don't care?"

"What should I do?" Yang Sen had an innocent face, a typical innocent disaster.

Yang Cheng gloated and ate sullenly, but seeing that her mother was about to leave in anger, she hurriedly grabbed her, "Mom, where's the invitation letter?"

Liu Yun waved her hands angrily, "If you want to see which show, go to my assistant directly and ask her to arrange it for you." The fashion week lasts for a week, and the shows of various brands are arranged to avoid collisions.

Yang Cheng nodded embarrassingly, how could my mother know what an invitation letter was? She has always been invited to shows by other brands, so there is no need for an invitation letter, it is an insult to her mother.

Moreover, compared with the other three major fashion weeks, the overall style of New York Fashion Week tends to be "American style", and the distinctive features of "leisure sports", "freedom" and "enthusiasm" can only be felt here.

But also because of this, New York Fashion Week is becoming more and more difficult to attract visits from top brands, and more new designers, or those well-known independent designers who have just established themselves are the stage for performances.

Liu Yun is the global vice president of lvmh. It is her primary responsibility to control the trend of her brands. Therefore, she has devoted more energy to Mi Lane or Paris Fashion Week these years, which is the battlefield for super first-line brands. New York In her opinion, fashion week is just a child's play, which does not arouse the slightest interest, and does not even give it a glance.

As far as Yang Cheng knew, my mother hadn't attended New York Fashion Week for many years, so I was even more embarrassed to pick up girls for myself, so please ask my mother to come forward directly. Anyway, it's the same to ask her assistant for help.

. . .

At 10:00 in the morning, Yang Cheng dawdled at home for a while after having breakfast, and then came to the company in a Ferrari f12. Dressed casually in jeans and a white shirt, he leisurely took the elevator to the top floor. Then I met Ruiz Khan and Eddie, who were standing at the door talking to Susu.

"Boss, good morning." The moment Susu saw Yang Cheng, a flower-like smile bloomed on her face.

"Boss." Eddie and Ryze turned around and said hello.

Yang Cheng nodded, and walked out of the elevator with his hands behind his back, "What's the matter? You two came up together to find something for me?"

"Boss, I just signed financing contracts with the legal counsels of various investment companies, and all the funds will arrive before 24:00 tonight." Ruiz was the first to speak in high spirits, reporting.

Eddie was not far behind, "boss, when you wake up this morning, the installed capacity of the Toutiao app has skyrocketed. When our promotional advertisements start to take effect, there will be a qualitative leap."

Last night, Yang Cheng specifically asked the shareholders who invested in the shares to go back and recommend the Toutiao app to the employees of their respective companies. In fact, it does not need to be emphasized that all shareholders will do it too. Since entering the market, they are people on the same boat. No one wants the big ship to hit an iceberg in the end. sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Well, we can't see too many changes at this point in time, and the curve will be more obvious in two days, and we are currently only online in the Apple store, and the Android side has not yet made efforts. We must do a good user experience survey in time. I I don't want to see our application being abandoned like shoes." Yang Cheng said to Eddie seriously.

After a pause, Susu came in with a few cups of coffee, and said while walking towards the office, "One more thing, after the funds arrive, we must hurry up to acquire Time Magazine, Ruiz, you are fully responsible for this matter, I was very dissatisfied with the previous acquisitions of your work, if there is another mistake in this acquisition, I will have to re-examine your ability and whether it is suitable for the position of CEO of Four-Dimensional Space."

Ryze's heart tightened at the moment, and he also knew that the previous few times, whether it was in the acquisition process of Lionsgate Films or Focus Pictures, the methods shown were too soft, so that in the end, the big boss had to personally solve the problem.

It is obvious that now Yang Cheng has doubts about his ability, which is tantamount to the end of the world for a professional manager, because his power and status are bestowed by the boss, and if he can give it out, he can naturally get it back.

And even though Yang Cheng was cryptic, he never dared to underestimate it. He could treat it as an ultimatum. The acquisition of Time Magazine was his last chance to prove himself. If there was another mistake, he could resign on his own.

Eddie opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words for Ruiz, but he didn't say anything. Ruiz's management ability was unanimously recognized by the company. In just a few weeks, the company was straightened out, and the employees performed their duties in an orderly manner. There was not a single confusion caused by vague responsibilities.

But an excellent CEO can't just have one skill, just pure management. The company can hire a more professional vice president to be a full-timer. Why do you need him as a CEO?

"I know the boss, I will definitely take down the Time Magazine Company perfectly." Ruiz met Yang Cheng's deep and wise eyes unswervingly.

Yang Cheng didn't have any words of encouragement, but just reminded lightly, "Remember to control the acquisition cost."

Sitting at the corner of the desk, he turned his gaze to Eddie, hugged his shoulders and said expressionlessly, "Eddie, and you, didn't you suggest that I buy the New York Times? We didn't have enough funds at the time, so I asked you to take a roundabout route. It’s different now, you can let go of your hands and feet, and if you really win the New York Times, you will be the head of New Times Media, how about it? Are you confident?”
