Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"Establishing a media group?" Perez asked in surprise.

"Yes, the San Jose Mercury News is the first local American newspaper we have contacted. If you are willing, after the acquisition is successful, we are ready to hire you as the global vice president and chief content officer of Qianhai Media Group!" Li Heping said according to Yang Mo He said it word for word according to his instructions.

"Chief content officer?" Perez asked in confusion, obviously lacking understanding of this new term in the Internet era.

Li Heping chuckled and said: "The chief content officer is fully responsible for the content strategic direction and promotion and marketing of the entire media group, including but not limited to content cooperation, media database, content monitoring, content investment and other fields..."

Isn't this equivalent to an editor-in-chief spanning multiple fields such as newspapers, television stations, film and television entertainment, etc.?If we acquire another Hollywood film and entertainment company, wouldn’t those big-name directors also have to listen to us?

Perez's heart was pounding when he heard it. With his knowledge, he was certainly aware of the influence of this planned media group, and he almost agreed to Li Heping's invitation without hesitation.

It only took Perez three days to convince all members of the board of directors of the San Jose Mercury News to agree to Qianhai Asset Management's merger and acquisition plan: the San Jose Mercury News and the Tokyo Daily Economic Express completed the merger to form Qianhai Media Group, Qianhai Asset Management and three other capital companies jointly invested US$2 million and obtained 90% of the equity of the media group. The San Jose Mercury News and Tokyo Daily Economic Express obtained 7% and 5% of the new company respectively through equity swaps. % equity.

Kishida Mie serves as CEO, Perez serves as global vice president and chief content officer of Qianhai Media Group, and other former San Jose Mercury News executives have been promoted to a greater or lesser extent.

dong dong dong...

After three knocks on the door, Gary Webber walked into the office of the new CEO Kishida Mie anxiously.

Gary Webb had even packed up his personal belongings before he came. His unruly personality had indeed brought a lot of trouble to the San Jose Mercury News. With the new capital coming in, he would use his thorns as a warning to others. It makes sense!

But from Gary Webber's head held high, we know that he will not compromise. Out of the conscience of a journalist, it is his duty to restore the truth of the matter, and it is also Gary Webber's inviolable right. He will defend this to the death. right.

Kishida Mie also guessed from Gary Webber's resume why the boss asked her to meet with Gary Webber alone.

Gary Webb graduated from Northern Kentucky University with a major in journalism. He joined the Kentucky Post after graduation. After switching to the San Jose Courier-News in 1987, he worked diligently and produced excellent works one after another. A year ago, Gary Webb was recognized for his series of reports on the San Francisco earthquake and disaster. , won the Pulitzer Prize…

This is a true journalist who is worthy of the name of reporter and all the responsibilities assigned to him. The reason why Yang Mo chose to acquire the San Jose Mercury News is precisely because of this unruly Gary Webb - the star of the crime documentary "Kill the Messenger" prototype.

Dark Alliance: The Story Behind the Drug Explosion, which he wrote as an investigative reporter, details the dirty deals behind the CIA and the notorious drug syndicate. Later, Gary Webber, who has a character as tough as granite, is a "coincidence" His reputation was ruined and he died of an inexplicable shooting...

"Your Excellency, President, I am Gary Webber from the News Department, are you looking for me?" Gary Webber asked in a neither humble nor condescending manner after entering the door.

"Sit down and talk!" Kishida Mie closed the file in her hand and waved her hand.

Kishida Mie handed Gary Webb a cup of freshly ground coffee, and then asked calmly: "Gary, as a senior reporter, what do you think is the mission of a reporter?"

"Journalists are often not just a profession, they also carry the trust of the people. We must not be influenced by other people's thoughts at any time. We must make every effort to restore the truth of the facts, even if we cannot let the sunshine dispel all the haze. , but we must also try our best to let the sunlight shine through all the gaps and shine into those dark corners..." Gary Webber said after pondering for a while.

Kishida Mie was a little moved. Although she didn't know why her boss valued Gary Webb so much, she could feel his passion for the journalist profession through a simple meeting with him!

"Congratulations, Mr. Gary Weber, you passed this interview! Qianhai Media Group will officially hire you as the director of the Social News Department!" Kishida Mie stretched out her hand and said with a smile.

"Director of the Social News Department?" Gary Webb muttered, not believing his ears.

"Yes! Do you have any questions? The President's Office will fully cooperate with you when you take over the Social News Department. You will come up with a new plan for the appointment, removal and salary requirements of the entire department and submit it directly to the President's Office! "Kishida Mie nodded and continued.

Until he walked out of the CEO's office, Gary Webb was still in a daze. He didn't know why this new beautiful CEO was so fond of him, but he already had the urge to die for his confidant.

His investigations that had to be interrupted due to funding can be continued again, and it can be seen from the new boss's importance to him that his style of doing things is very suitable for the new boss's appetite, otherwise he would not be like this for the Social News Department. Great autonomy!

Yang Mo really made the right move. Perez began to show his extraordinary capital operation capabilities. He used his connections in the media industry and waved his checkbook to take the lead in acquiring Oakland, which had a good cooperative relationship with the San Jose Mercury News. The Tribune, the Contra Costa Times and the Marin Independent Magazine were included.

After completing the integration, Perez began a more aggressive merger and acquisition path.
