Chapter 204 I added sincerity into it
The official media designated by the New York Stock Exchange today is, of course, CNN, a TV station owned by TBS.
The live broadcast cameras on site were already ready.
Other media that were allowed could only take photos and send reporters to interview.
At 8:45, CNN TV's financial channel's "Trading Live" started broadcasting ahead of schedule.
The images of the Paladin Media team and the participating guests were broadcast to thousands of households across the United States through television screens.
Ordinary Americans are at work at this time and are not paying much attention.
But there are elites who are related to the media, or related to investment, or who care about this matter.
None of them missed this important moment.
Once Paladin Media goes public, it will become a capital force that cannot be ignored.
It may be an exaggeration to say that the economic situation has shaken the entire United States.
However, a major earthquake in the media industry across the United States and even the world is absolutely inevitable.
Located at Disney's headquarters in Burbank, California.
Mickey Mouse tyrant Eisner was leaning back in a comfortable boss chair, staring at the familiar face appearing on the TV screen.
The camera is always focused on Milo, and the voice-over is explaining his information.
From his investment in a film company in 1996, to his publication and distribution of "The Da Vinci Code", to his production of the religious suspense film that made a global sensation, to his control of the No. 1 Internet company Yahoo and his status as the godfather of Silicon Valley, he has been creating miracles with every step of his development.
In just two years, he turned a small film company with a capital of only a few million dollars into a multinational media giant.
His talent for business is unrivaled in the world and no one doubts his talent and ability.
"call……"
Looking at the young faces on the screen, full of ambition and youth.
Eisner sighed.
He regretted a little that he had personally gone to Milo for cooperation two years ago.
If he hadn't gone, Milo might not have entered the entertainment industry.
But Eisner also knew that this was just self-consolation.
That guy’s film company was established a long time ago, so it has nothing to do with whether you go to find him or not.
Looking at Milo on the TV screen, he looked very proud.
Eisner knew that Disney must then prepare to face a new and powerful enemy.
This is what Eisner and many American or world media giants, including Murdoch, think of Milo at this moment.
At the same time, in the embassy at 3505 International Plaza in Northwest District of Columbia, DC.
Mr. Li, the Chinese ambassador to the United States, was watching the real-time news broadcast on CNN on TV with a group of confidential secretaries, consular officials and several military attachés.
"Wow……"
“Wow!”
“…”
When the current President of the United States, the owner of the White House, actually appeared on the TV screen.
Many of the dozen or so people in the room couldn't help but let out quiet exclamations and surprises.
Deputy Director Qiu couldn't help but whisper to Mr. Li:
"I didn't expect Zipperton would show up. This Blackburn is really well connected."
In fact, not only Mr. Qiu did not expect this, but also Ambassador Li and everyone present did not expect this.
The current head of state of a country is the head of the United States, the world's most powerful country.
It is really too outrageous that he appeared at the listing ceremony of a commercial company.
This made Mr. Li realize once again that the United States really is very capitalist.
"We need to take him to a higher level of importance. When the screen flashed just now, I seemed to see people from Rockefeller and Morgan." Mr. Li said softly.
Mr. Qiu nodded and said, "We also have people on the scene. They just called and said that people from Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon and even Citigroup are on the scene."
Hearing him say this, Mr. Li smiled bitterly: "That's not raising him to another level. I think the country should put him on the same level as old Rockefeller, old Adams and old Morgan."
At this time, another deputy director, Mr. Wang, said: "But he is so young..."
"What's wrong with being young?"
Mr. Qiu said:
"The Americans really believe that kings, princes, generals and ministers are born with blood. This man's background, in our words, is pure and innocent. Now Americans are saying that he is Rockefeller's son-in-law, and he is so capable, so age is not a limit for him."
Mr. Li nodded in agreement and said to the two deputy curators, "I think what Lao Qiu said is right. For the domestic receipts, we should raise him to the highest level. At the same time..."
After thinking for a while, Mr. Li added:
"We should suggest to the country to invite this person to visit. Bill Gates, Buffett, Rockefeller, Morgan and Mellon have all been there. He is still the richest man in the world. His visit to China will definitely help us attract foreign investment."
At this time, Mr. Wang, the deputy curator, whispered, "But this man seems to admire Japanese people very much. Some of our people in Japan said that he had a Japanese lover and had a mixed-race child."
"Everything depends on human effort."
Mr. Qiu disagreed and pointed to the American bigwigs on the TV screen.
"If we don't fight for it, he will sooner or later side with us. We should try our best to at least make him not hate us."
While watching TV, Mr. Li agreed with the opinion of Deputy Director Mr. Qiu.
"Yes, this person's united front value is very high. In the United States alone, I even think he is the one with the highest united front value right now."
Hearing what Mr. Li said, Mr. Wang also nodded.
In fact, he also thought so, but he thought it was not the highest priority.
But now that the envoy and Lao Qiu have said so, Mr. Wang certainly agrees.
Everyone started watching CNN's "Trading Hours" in silence again.
In fact, it is not just Huaguan that is like this.
Today in DC, almost everyone is concerned about the U.S. Embassy in the United States.
They are all watching and studying the TV show.
This show featured Rockefeller, Morgan, and even Zipperton who was on vacation.
As time goes by, inside the TV screen.
Milo Blackburn also began to speak.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!"
On the TV screen, Milo began his speech: "I am glad that you are here. I wish everyone all the best today."
"Five years ago, I registered the Paladin trademark. At that time, my idea was simple, which was to let everyone see the movies they like."
"Since then, everything I have done has never deviated from this original intention. I would like to thank the 535 colleagues present today, and the 38,435 employees of Paladin Media they represent. It is through our joint efforts that our ideals can be realized and Paladin Media's glorious listing today has been made possible!"
The employee representatives and celebrity guests in the audience, wearing white T-shirts, were all clapping with their hands raised, accompanied by bursts of screams.
"We will keep working hard!" Britney didn't have the temperament of a teenage idol at all at this moment, and she actually shouted at the top of her voice in front of the camera.
She was young and beautiful, and everyone would just think that she was overexcited.
But Britney has reason to be excited.
Because today is the day when the first company of her master goes public.
At the same time, she also holds 0.15% of the shares. After the listing, she has a high probability of becoming a billionaire! "Long Live Mr. Blackburn!" has starred in two works created by Milo.
Tommy Lee Jones, who also stars in Universal Pictures' latest blockbuster film, Men in Black, raised his arms and shouted.
Next to him, Will Smith, who has a good relationship with Tommy because of his roles in "Rivals" and "Men in Black", exclaimed: "Wow, Paladin Media has nearly 40,000 employees?"
"Yes, all employees of the entire group combined. Including those at Universal Studios."
Wally Firth, the real director and cinematographer of the Milo biography, explained it to him.
"The OEM factories of comic and toy companies are not included, otherwise they would have more employees." Tommy, who was also familiar with this aspect, interjected.
"Thank you too, Mr. Blackburn!" This is Madonna's message.
She was just there to join in the fun; Madonna is not an employee of Paladin Media.
She just had a partnership with Paladin Media and thought that shouting like this would give her a chance to appear on camera.
Today is a big event where even Zipperton is here.
She feels the ratings could surpass the Super Bowl.
If not now, when?
Not to mention other Paladin Media executives and employees.
Milo's prestige in Paladin Media is at the infinite level.
He is not only a boss, but also a star and idol in the social sense.
The speech was full of thanks, from employees, to management, to artists, to fans and customers, and finally to the New York Stock Exchange, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the U.S. government.
“Thank you all for your understanding, trust, encouragement and support!”
"But I think the best way to express our gratitude is to keep working hard, keep cheering, and produce better works to repay our customers, employees and investors who support us all over the world."
"Our stocks will start trading soon. This is a brand new beginning for us! Thank you everyone! Thank you!"
"Finally, God bless America!"
Milo finished his speech to huge applause.
It’s time to ring the bell.
The guests in the audience continued to restore the lively atmosphere.
The bronze bell was suddenly struck, and the noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
After the bell was rung, Paladin Media Group's shares officially started trading.
Opening price: $43.39!
It’s a 25.61% increase compared to the issue price of $35!
This was a powerful start and the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
This one increase directly led to Paladin Media’s market value exceeding the $60 billion mark.
In the trading hall, orders for Paladin Media were unusually active.
Milo has stopped talking to a group of executives, investors and guests.
Everyone is watching the Paladin Media deal closely.
Within half a day of trading, the stock price was fixed at US$44.87.
When the market opened in the afternoon, there was another big increase of 9.22%.
The stock price subsequently broke through the $50 mark, but soon fell back.
When the market closed for the day, the final stock price was 48.74 yuan, up 39.6% from the issue price, with an amplitude of 13.59% throughout the day.
On the first day, Paladin Media had a market value of $66 billion.
It exceeds Disney and Time Warner, equivalent to 90% of their combined market value.
It is undoubtedly the media group with the largest market value in the world.
At this time, it can also be ranked among the top 30 in the ranking of US listed companies.
For a media company in the service industry, achieving this scale is absolutely unique.
"BOSS!! We can have a celebration party now!" Ted Turner and a group of senior executives said almost in unison.
A celebration banquet must be held, and the banquet has been prepared long ago.
And there are two games at the beginning.
The event was held at the Plaza Hotel in Kimpo, and he also appeared at the scene today with his daughter Ivana and his girlfriend.
However, because there were so many big shots, he couldn't even get a chance to appear.
The banquet held at the Plaza Hotel was used to entertain company employee representatives and celebrity guests who arrived today, as well as those celebrities who were not of sufficient status.
Like Gimp...
The other was held in the Golden Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
It will be used to entertain a number of big names including Zipperton.
But before that, Milo will of course have to face interviews from a number of well-known media from all over the world.
Or a media meeting.
"Mr. Blackburn, are you satisfied with Paladin Media's first day of listing?"
"Very satisfied!" Milo presided over the meeting personally. "The market is chasing after Paladin Media's stock, causing the stock price to continue to rise. This shows that shareholders have full confidence in me, my team and employees."
"Regarding the financing of this listing, what arrangements will you make?"
"As introduced in the prospectus, a large part of the funds raised will be used to expand Paladin Media's overseas business."
"Where exactly do you mean overseas?"
"All regions suitable for Paladin Media's development, including Europe, Asia and other places. In fact, as long as it is suitable, we are willing to enter all markets that welcome us."
"Mr. Blackburn, do you, Paladin Media or your other companies, or yourself, have any thoughts on entering our country's market? You know, we are the most populous country in the world, and both the media and the Internet have huge potential markets."
This is a reporter from China News Service, a kind of official mouthpiece representing the government on the other side of the ocean.
"Of course I have this idea." Milo smiled at the camera, "In fact, I have always wanted to go there, because many of my friends say that it is the future of the world. But as far as I know, you have a lot of jurisdiction and restrictions on the media. And the Internet...Excuse me, in two years, the United States will be the world's largest Internet market."
Milo suddenly thought of Murdoch.
This guy tried to enter that market many times, using countless methods.
This includes but is not limited to investing in Phoenix TV and even trying to enter the market from TV stations in remote areas.
But they were all rejected and it was impossible to make it big there.
This is the media.
Speaking of the Internet, Milo is really interested in this aspect.
It's not that he wants to go there to start an Internet company or open a branch of Yahoo.
Instead, he is very interested in investing in local Internet companies there.
He knew how huge those companies would become in the future by relying on the huge market there.
Even if he just takes a small bite, he can make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, he smiled at the reporter again, "But I am really optimistic about that place, and I also want to go and take a look. I heard that only when you go to the Great Wall can you be a real man? Haha, I will definitely go there when I have time. I like your culture very much. That kind of mysterious elegance of the East is exactly what I lack."
These remarks will definitely be on the headlines there tomorrow.
This proves that Milo Blackburn can also be patriotic... Well, he can't love, if he has to love, it's America.
But he can talk, that much is clear.
He is conveying this attitude now.
And it’s different from Rockefeller and others who immediately thought of financial invasion as soon as they arrived.
In the past, he only knew how to do angel investment and make money from the huge market.
Compared to other people, he is much kinder.
Next it was the turn of the European reporter, a reporter from the French newspaper Le Monde, who asked him.
Asked if it was true that Paladin Media was preparing to acquire a British team.
If that's true, why not give priority to the French football team.
"Oh, of course, I love France, the romantic city of Paris. I've wanted to go there for a long time."
Milo said with a smile: "As for the football team, I would like to invest if possible. When I go to Europe at the end of this year or next year, I will personally investigate the French market."
Next it's the turn of the Japanese.
"So Mr. Blackburn, Paladin Media already has a film company and two comics companies in Neon. Are you going to continue investing in other areas in Neon?"
The Asahi Shimbun seized the opportunity to speak from Neon.
You have to know that the first place Milo Blackburn visited when he went to Asia was Japan.
He even appeared in the media at the time and praised Japan and its people to the media.
Japanese people have a strong desire to admire the strong.
Coupled with Milo's strong status in the United States and his excellent external conditions.
He even has a group of fan followings in Japan.
And the China News Service’s performance just now was not too obvious.
The Japanese are worried that the big countries will steal Milo's attention from Asia, so they are more active than anyone else.
“The neon market is, of course, important to Paladin Media.”
Milo's answer was cautious. As the company went public, every word he said could cause the stock price to rise or fall.
"Last year we reached a strategic alliance with Sumitomo United Entertainment Group, which is a win-win cooperation. Although we don't have much business in Japan now, Japanese customers have given us a lot of love. So Michael Jackson's second global tour concert, the first concert in Asia will definitely be held in Japan."
The Japanese were very satisfied with Milo's answers to their questions.
More than a single European country and China! What does this prove? This proves that Milo Blackburn values them very much! This greatly satisfies the inferiority complex of the Japanese people.
After answering questions from the Asahi Shimbun.
Milo began to interact intensively with the American media.
Including The Times and Boston Herald, both owned by News Collective, and USA Today, owned by Gannett Group.
It also has its own New York World and Us Weekly.
Mainly for the subsequent appreciation of Paladin Media's stock.
Today is the first day of listing.
If the market value of the stock could rise to more than 80 billion US dollars within a week.
This was of great help to both Milo's wealth growth and his acquisition of two energy giants.
This press conference lasted two hours.
During this period, Paladin Media employee representatives and celebrity guests have started the celebration party at the Plaza Hotel.
When Milo arrived here, the hotel entrance was already blocked by a crowd of people.
There are too many reporters.
Seeing Milo appear, they spontaneously made way for him and waited for him to pass through, with bursts of applause and screams.
It took Milo ten minutes to walk a dozen meters of road.
When he entered the hotel and went into the banquet hall, the scene was no different from outside the building.
Celebrities, executives, and employee representatives all gathered at the door to greet them.
But their performance was rather restrained, and they only gave Milo applause and long and enthusiastic cheers.
This is an honor that Milo deserves.
In the eyes of his subordinates, he is the most competent boss in the United States and even the world, the helmsman most worthy of following and loyalty, and the employer who wins the most trust and respect.
A market value of 66 billion US dollars! This is the most glorious, brilliant, incredible, and earth-shattering miracle in the history of the global media industry! The miracle they jointly create tomorrow will shock the whole world.
And they all acknowledged the reason why this miracle happened.
Milo deserves at least 99% of the credit; Milo's personal global influence alone could lead to a 50 percentage point increase in stock prices.
"Let's have a feast!"
With Milo's smiling command, the carnival began.
Several of his girlfriends suddenly discovered that they had no sense of existence.
One by one, the executives congratulated Milo, but they couldn't find a place to say a few words.
So annoying! Britney felt a little uncomfortable, she hoped that Milo would wave at her or call her name at this moment.
She would run up to him obediently like a puppy, and when her master asked her to show her elegance, she would never show any coquettish look and would always be absolutely obedient.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It's a pity that Milo didn't have eyes for her, but fortunately, neither did those Hollywood women.
Anyway, women were not treated well by Milo.
Britney is sitting at a table with Christina, along with other pop stars such as Michael Jackson, Madonna and Universal Music CEO Lawrence.
Perhaps seeing through Britney's thoughts, Lawrence smiled and comforted his boss, "Today's market value increase exceeded everyone's expectations. The boss's personal net worth has reached 120 billion US dollars. He is now unique, and everyone wants to congratulate him. Britney, we should understand him."
Lawrence's words made everyone at the table focus their attention on Britney.
Madonna blinked in surprise, thinking that the rumor that Britney Spears was the world's richest dog must be true.
Otherwise, there would be no need for a big shot in the record industry like Lawrence to treat Xiao Tiantian like this.
Christina kept smiling next to Britney, but she was gritting her teeth secretly and shouting "bitch" and "bitch" madly in her heart.
Christina felt that everything that belonged to Britney should have been hers!
Except for not being prettier than Britney, she is better than Britney in every other aspect!
But because of Britney's shamelessness, she was surpassed.
Christina hated it.
"Mr. Lawrence, do you have any stock in our company?"
At this time, Ryan Gosling, a member of the boy band launched by Universal Music last year, who was sitting at the same table with them, asked softly.
"I have 200,000 shares, which I purchased from the company for $3.6 million."
Lawrence wanted to buy more, but the company had strict requirements for the heads of each subsidiary and department.
The minimum number of shares held is 80,000, the maximum number is 300,000, and the net asset value of each share is US$10.
The issue price of internal dry shares is US$18. If you don’t have enough money, you can ask Blackburn Bank for a loan.
Then deduct it from the salary every month and pay it in installments.
The stocks held by Lawrence have appreciated three and a half times today, and the value of the stocks he holds is just over tens of millions of dollars.
"My shares are now worth about $9.6 million. In the entire group, there are more than 300 people who hold shares similar to mine."
"Wow, that would be nearly three hundred multi-millionaires!"
Ryan Gosling is a little envious, as he and Justin Timberlake also became a very popular combination after their debut.
Although the company took a lot of the share, I still made two to three million dollars in a year.
Unfortunately, my level is not high enough, so I cannot hold the shares at the inside price this time.
"Britney, how many shares do you have?"
"I have two million shares!" Britney holds two million shares.
According to the current stock price, she is a wealthy woman with a net worth of 98 million US dollars. If her own income is included, she is a billionaire.
But she deliberately kept her wording vague.
"I heard from the bank's stockbroker. Our internal employee stocks have a lock-up period. Employee shares are locked for at least one year and cannot be sold for cash during this period. In addition, when we purchased the shares, we used the company's trust fund and need to repay the bank. It will probably take two or three years for us to get the shares."
In fact, she didn't need to, because her stocks were also given to her by Milo.
"I have to wait two or three years?" Ryan Gosling wondered, and he was not so envious anymore.
"Then what's the point of holding shares? It's better to put the money in the bank and spend it whenever you want!"
This is just childish talk. Ryan Gosling is a little younger than Britney.
Lawrence, MJ, Madonna and others present all laughed but did not give him an explanation.
The stock market can make people lose a lot of money, but it can also make people rich.
With Paladin Media's listing momentum today, the stock can continue to appreciate in the future.
The group has so many businesses that every time there is a reorganization, the stock price will skyrocket.
Ryan Gosling can't think that far ahead, nor can he figure out the key.
During the banquet, everyone was talking about Paladin Media's stock.
The happiest person present was Ted Turner, who was the company's original second largest shareholder, holding 19.79 million shares, accounting for 1.46% of the shares.
At the beginning, he invested in the company with the remaining shares of TBS he had, so he did not own many shares.
But then he saw Milo's momentum.
Ted secretly acquired some TBS shares from small shareholders.
In addition to his role as the group's CEO, some of the original employees also purchased shares that were eventually exchanged for 1.46% of the new group's shares, with a current total market value of US$950 million.
For every 1% increase in Paladin Media's stock price, his net worth would increase by $10 million.
He is now particularly glad that he decided to sell TBS to Milo.
At the same time, he resolutely stayed and became Milo's right-hand man in media management.
Although before this, he was worth nearly 2 billion US dollars.
But who would complain about having too much money?
And this is not just a lot of money, it is an opportunity to directly increase your net worth by one third!
And in the end, Milo was only here for an hour.
He left without even chatting with his women.
Everyone knew that he had a more important celebratory party to attend.
There, President Zipperton, who helped increase the value of Paladin Media's stock price by at least 5 percentage points today, was also among them.
Everyone understands and everyone envies it.
In the United States, people are born into different classes.
There are also acquired class distinctions brought about by wealth and fame.
This is normal.
When Milo shows up at the Waldorf Astoria.
It's already eight o'clock in the evening.
It's different from the Plaza Hotel which is in carnival mode.
Over here in the golden banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, it was still a gentle and elegant upper-class cocktail party.
I saw many important people, each of them brought their own female companions.
With a few good friends, or a few new friends you just met today.
They formed small circles and talked with smiles.
And in the middle, the most eye-catching.
Of course, it is still a small circle consisting of the three core members of the Blackburn family, as well as old Rockefeller and his granddaughter.
This scene also made everyone very sure that the marriage between Rockefeller and Blackburn was absolutely a done deal.
All this changed with the arrival of Milo.
When he appeared at the elevator door of the Golden Banquet Hall.
When someone saw him, they immediately cheered and applauded.
Then it all spread like a virus, and all five or six hundred people in the venue applauded.
At this moment, this place is no different from the Plaza Hotel.
Americans like this tune.
Under everyone's gaze, Milo also greeted them with a smile and stopped to wait for him to zip up to the Dun couple.
After all, he is still the current commander-in-chief, and after all, he has been given such a great face today.
So Milo's first hug here tonight, of course, is from Zipperton and his wife.
"Oh, Milo dear, you look very busy."
After shaking hands and hugging, Zipperton looked at Milo with a smile, "From this morning till now, without stopping for a moment. I have a lot of experience with this. Five years ago and at a certain time last year, I was as tired as you are now."
"Ha, you must have been more exhausted than me at that time. Because you had to manage a country with 200 million people. And I only managed a company with tens of thousands of people."
Milo laughed, looking at Zipperton who was so gentle and refined, he looked like a real gentleman.
He felt a chill in his heart.
Seeing Zipperton and Zipperton's smiling wife, Milo easily recalled the couple's performance on Little St. James Island.
An old witch who sucks semen, an old monster who loves two lovers.
Perfect match!
But who could have thought that when under the halo.
This couple looks more like stars than any other stars in the world.
It seems that the President and First Lady of the United States should be like what this couple shows.
Milo was amazed at how hypocritical he could be.
The Zippertons, especially the old witch, obviously wanted to chat with him for a while.
But there are too many guests coming tonight, and many of them are of noble status.
Even the Zippertons couldn't keep Milo for too long.
So Milo was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He continued to immerse himself in social activities that made his smile a little stiff.
Including but not limited to our own people from the Boston consortium, our cousins from the California consortium, and Uncle George and Uncle Jeb, representatives of the Texas consortium.
There were also representatives from other consortiums, such as Mellon and Morgan.
And Warren Buffett came up to us.
And representatives of the Squid, such as Soros and his good partner Rogers and so on.
He was really busy tonight, but he didn't have to put too much effort into getting along with everyone.
Because most of the time it’s just a brief encounter, leaving an impression, and the follow-up is where the action begins.
From the time he appeared at this end of the Golden Banquet Hall to the time he finally arrived in front of his parents and grandfather.
And when it was in front of Ariana and old David.
Another hour has passed.
"Wow, I almost fell asleep waiting. In another hour and a half, it will be my doctor-mandated daily rest time."
As soon as Milo came over, old David, who was chatting with old Blackburn, said with a smile.
"Please, I'm exhausted."
Milo came over, and in front of everyone, he put his arm around Ariana's waist, who was smiling shyly. "I swear, there won't be a next time! I didn't expect the official IPO to be so tiring!"
"Kid, be content."
Old David: "If other companies go public, there won't be so many people coming to support them!"
Old Rockefeller is not praising Milo.
But it is true.
So many people came tonight, even representatives from the financial groups were here.
Is it because Milo is awesome, the richest man in the world, the hundred billion dollar man?
There may be a small part of the reason here.
But the reason why even zipper came.
The actual reason is mainly because of Milo's relatively special identity.
Milo himself is from Boston, and now looks a bit like a leader of the younger generation of Boston financial groups.
Milo's grandfather was a core figure in the Texas consortium, while his grandmother was from the California consortium.
He himself is developing in California and has a lot of cooperation with California consortiums.
More importantly, he is now Rockefeller's designated grandson-in-law.
With so many complex identities, plus Milo's truly remarkable rise.
All of these combined have created this outrageous and bizarre scene tonight and today.
Milo knew this, of course, and he even knew when the next time Yahoo went public would be.
The scale of guests coming to support the event would never be as outrageous as it is today.
This is true even if Yahoo's market cap is larger than Paladin Media's.
Many times, the first time is so important.
He looked at old David with a smile and said, "Oh, come on, David, I was just showing off, didn't you hear that? Well, you are old after all, and you can't hear the boasting tone of young people."
David: “…”
Just as he was about to teach Milo a lesson.
Old Blackburn, who had been watching Milo talking to old Rockefeller and facing the smile, suddenly said: "Show some respect, kid. This is Ariana's grandfather, you should treat him like you treat me."
Milo immediately cooperated: "Oh, yes, my fault. I apologize, dear David, I shouldn't have used that tone..."
Old David: “…”
After being interrupted by old Blackburn, the conversation in this small core circle returned to normal.
“Mellon and Morgan have promised to open the door on energy.”
"But they also want the key to Boston," said the elder Rockefeller quietly.
His two sentences made the three generations of the Blackburn family look at each other.
But this is a business matter, and neither Blackburn Sr. nor Joseph are clearly in a position to speak.
The father and son looked at their grandson/son together.
Milo hesitated for a moment and said, "No problem, but you must be careful about the scale. Otherwise, my newly gained prestige will be lost overnight, and then it will not be so easy for you to infiltrate Boston again."
His answer made Old Blackburn and Joseph stare at each other.
Milo said this.
It sounded all too much like he and Rockefeller were conspiring to sell Boston.
"certainly."
Old David looked deeply at Milo.
The old man couldn't understand how this guy managed to sell well both here and in Boston.
This guy let Boston believe that he can lead Boston to acquire an energy company that is crucial to a consortium.
Over here.
Milo also told them that he could help them better attack the Boston Consortium.
A silver tongue or a master of deception? Perhaps both.
After all, there is the relationship with Ariana, and the old Blackburn father and son are also here.
Old David lowered his voice and asked his doubts.
“It’s very simple.”
Looking at his family and future wife at home, Milo smiled and said, "Sincerity, I used sincerity."
This answer caused silence and speechlessness from all relatives.
But Milo really didn't lie.
In this matter, when facing both sides.
Milo really impresses everyone with his sincerity.
For example, in Boston, when Milo faced old Arthur Adams.
He said it directly.
It is said that Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon and others wanted to invade and control the Boston consortium.
But this is an opportunity, Milo told old Arthur, the Boston consortium can also take this opportunity to get involved in areas that were previously prohibited.
For example, energy and media.
And when facing Rockefeller and others.
Milo said directly that Boston was well aware of their intentions.
After all, they have been invading Boston for more than a year or two.
Milo's special identity can help them increase their efforts to invade Boston.
He didn't lie to either side and told the truth to both sides.
He was very sincere to both sides and said he would do his best to help them.
