Chapter 200 Reach Out to the Diamond Group and the Media (Monthly Ticket Plus 5)
As a person who has experienced the information explosion, even if Li Changheng does not understand the operation of the media, he still knows that whoever controls the media is equivalent to controlling the right to speak.
Regardless of whether what Oliver Aston said just now contained bragging or warning, at least this was the first step for him to contact, master, and control the London media.
However, what he said just now also let Li Changheng know that Oliver is not yet a qualified ruler.
At least this guy still has some integrity, and he can't let go of his face.
As a friend, Oliver will definitely be a qualified friend, but when doing business, he is not a bit, not a little bit worse.
Even, a person like him who is not dark enough is only suitable to be a supporter, not a decision maker in power.
If he, Li Changheng, said this, he would never say that the other three big newspapers are controlled by big groups.
Not to mention that some typesetting supervisors only get a monthly tipping fee of 500 pounds.
Rather, to put it bluntly, the ten largest newspapers all have shares in the Diamond Group, and all important internal positions have been bought.
And because of the particularity of diamonds, our diamond group spends at least tens of millions of pounds on media all over the world every year.
The tens of millions of pounds in this year is equal to the next 40 years. Tell our collaborators that we spend 500 million to 1 billion pounds in media public relations a year.
It can frighten any billionaire in an instant, as well as group bosses with billions or tens of billions.
At least if Li Changheng himself heard this for the first time, he would definitely not follow the diamond group so easily.
Instead, carefully calculate and test.
At this time, Li Changheng, who had already decided to attack, only thought for a while, and said to Oliver, "Tell Lord Aston.
I ask him and the major shareholders of the Diamond Group to come with me to meet His Majesty Philip for a three-party closed-door meeting."
After finishing speaking, Li Changheng squinted his eyes at the puzzled Oliver and said, "This is related to whether the Diamond Group can survive this crisis safely, and even turn the crisis into an opportunity, understand?"
Although Oliver is upright and even a bit idealistic, he can be affirmed by most executives and shareholders, and he is definitely not stupid.
"Did you find those diamonds?"
For the greater good, Li Changheng waved to Zhang Tianzhi after thinking about it for a few seconds, "give me that diamond".
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Tianzhi took out the 100-carat diamond that had been cleaned in the hotel before from his pocket.
Moreover, knowing that his boss is a clean freak, he even wrapped it in a new white handkerchief and handed it to Li Changheng.
Oliver took the handkerchief Li Changheng handed over, opened it, and within a few seconds, his breathing became short and heavy.
"Here, God, this is the Cullinan Sixteen."
Oliver grabbed Li Changheng's arm, "Henry, thank you so much, you, you are the God of Diamond Group now, I will go and tell my father about your request immediately."
Seeing Oliver running excitedly, Li Changheng smiled and took Zhang Tianzhi and Andrew to the conference room on the third floor.
Now that the diamond has been found, he has the trump card to negotiate with Hobbs, who has been waiting for 15 years in order to avenge his wife.
It is simply impossible to get the account that will transfer 100 million pounds from this old man who has endured for 15 years and has half his foot in the ground without directly destroying his bargaining chip for revenge.
Even if Li Changheng told him that he would kill Sinclair Barkley at his own expense, Hobbs might not believe him.
After all, he who stole the diamond is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the diamond group.
Why trust others when you can take revenge yourself?
As for him not agreeing to Li Changheng's conditions, he will go to jail or even die because of this, this is not a threat at all to Hobbs.
There are still three months to retire, leaving the place where he has worked for decades, retirement phobia will be even more powerful for a person like him who has no relatives and no future direction.
At this time, apart from avenging his wife, there is probably nothing that he can't let go of.
To threaten this kind of person, you really have to pinch his vitals.
Walking into the meeting room with Andrew and Zhang Tianzhi, besides Laura Quinn, there were about 8 other people sitting on chairs with tired and anxious faces in silence.
Seeing that Andrew came in after Li Changheng, and Andrew had no objection to Li Changheng sitting on the main seat, let alone the slightest bit of dissatisfaction or anger, the people present immediately understood who was in charge.
Eight Englishmen and Quinn, an American, stood up to salute and say hello to Andrew, and received Andrew's return.
The nine people looked at Li Changheng with nervous expressions on their faces, and picked up the folder on the table to look at it.
For a moment, the entire meeting was so quiet that it made people panic.
"Knock knock knock" knocked on the door, Zhang Tianzhi hurriedly stood up and went to open the door.
Then he took a plate and brought it to Li Changheng, "Boss, eat something first."
"Well", put down the folder in his hand, and took out a few copies with his left hand while eating a sandwich. The 8 people present wrote their own report on the action line in this building last night.
"Mommchill, Cork, Kesia, Rocky, Ferriton, Skinner, you have been ruled out as suspects, you can leave now."
The six people who heard their names suddenly showed huge smiles on their faces.
"Thank you, thank you, dear sir."
"May God bless you, sir."
A series of thanks also made Li Changheng smile, "You can tell people outside,
Just say that I would like Mr Oliver Aston to give you £50 each in cash as compensation for wasting your time and energy."
"This...", the six people who have already stood up, although their faces are full of expectations, they doubt in their hearts that this will be possible?
Li Changheng looked down at the report written by a security guard named Jago Parker, and said without raising his head, "Don't worry, my words are more effective than old Lord Aston in this building at this time.
Take the money and go home and rest for one night, I guarantee that not only will you not lose your job tomorrow, but you should also be able to increase your wages by 5%-10% next month."
After finishing speaking, Li Changheng saw that no one was moving around, so he raised his head and said to Andrew, "Andrew, help us send these gentlemen and ladies out."
Andrew rolled his eyes, but stood up without hesitation, "Gentlemen and ladies, I will take you out, and help you tell Henry's words to the person in charge outside."
Now, there is no doubt.
Li Changheng, who was watching, shook his head helplessly.
No matter how good you are, sometimes you can't use someone else's face.
After everyone had left, Li Changheng looked at Yago Parker, the night security guard with an extremely nervous expression.
But he didn't ask. Instead, he waited until Steven, who was leading someone to look for the kayak at the second sewage treatment point, called and said.
Instead of the kayak, they found 10 car tires sold by some kids at a nearby auto repair shop.
Li Changheng frowned first, then smiled in response.
Taking a kayak into the sewer is more conspicuous than carrying 10 car tires, and the tires are cheaper and easy to be taken away and sold.
Glancing at Hobbs, he scolded the old fox in his heart.
