Chapter 136: No, my small company

Caroline said: "I know more of this kind, so naturally I know a lot. I understand all your concerns, but our post company is still somewhat different from other investment companies."
Caroline drank a glass of champagne. White was listening attentively. Seeing her drank it all at once, she lowered her posture and handed it over another glass: "Oh? What's the difference?"
Caroline pursed her red lips and said, "It's not that I boasted. Since the half of the last century, the Washington Post has been managed by a powerful family, and then you know, Buffett invested in us. Now The situation is that the two major shareholders restrict each other, and our unified goal is to be a newspaper."
White nodded as he listened. This is true in my heart. After Buffett became a shareholder, the situation could not be controlled by the Graham family before. This is not a bad thing, at least there is no such ridiculous scene as a family monopoly.
Caroline shook the champagne and said: "You can see the sales and reading volume of our Washington Post in recent years. Which one is not far ahead. It is precisely because our company's senior management upholds this belief in reporting that we have achieved success. Today’s success."
One of America’s greatest newspapers! White said: "Make a good newspaper, make a good newspaper. Be a good newspaper, make a good newspaper. I get it!"
Caroline came to clink glasses with White and said, "I just want to say that we are rushing to make newspapers within our company. As for pressure, it is a matter of the benevolent sees the benevolent, and the wise sees wisdom. "
The last sentence was vague. White thought about it and thought, Caroline's words are still objective and sincere, at least what he said before him is no different from what White heard, and if it wasn't for making a newspaper, Buffett Nor would it take a stake in such a company.
White thought to himself that although this Washington Post company is big enough, it is different from venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, so maybe we can talk about it. Immediately booked a second day for discussion with Caroline.
These days, White has been discussing things about the Washington Post with Iverson. They agreed that this is a unique company, and if you miss it, it will be LUMBALR's most pity!
Iverson said: "I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful and capable sister in the Washington Post company."
"Just you call my sister." White threw a lemon over. "There are too many things you don't know."
"It seems that there are some things that schools really can't teach. For example, these negotiation projects, financing, and dealing with people, talking skills, etc.
White said: "Of course. I went to meet these business talents and found out how nerdy I was!"
On the day agreed with Caroline, White discovered that Caroline had brought an elite negotiating team from the Washington Post to California. White had originally sat at the table and was a little uneasy. He saw this group of dark and oppressive people. The mood settled down instead.
No matter how many people there are, it is also a negotiating team with Caroline as the mainstay. White thought that although he appears alone and weak in power, he mainly talks with Caroline. There is nothing terrible.
It is not a debate contest, it is divided into one debate, two debates and three debates.
When Caroline sits down, White doesn't have the cooking like last time. After eating desserts, he will talk slowly. Large companies like the Washington Post must think that time is money.
As soon as Caroline sat down, White said preconceivedly: "After I went back, I seriously considered what you said and thought it made sense, especially your focus on work, which is very similar to Lumblar."
These words made Caroline very happy. The negotiation was getting smoother and smoother. Just when she asked people around her to take out the contract, and everyone looked at each other, a waiter came up and accidentally turned over a glass of water. Miss Caroline's body.
The dark professional pullover soon stained a wet spot, and the waiter was young, about a college student, and quickly bowed and apologized.
This is her new dress! Caroline's rejuvenation was useless, she had no choice but to accept the waiter's apology, took the clothes and tissues of one of them, and handed over the contract and the following negotiations to these negotiating team members.

After all, the negotiation cannot end with this small episode. Negotiations for contract capital injection continued, and after the young elite teams, who were slightly less experienced than Caroline, gave White an agreement, they also opened it up.
While they were not paying attention, White secretly gave the waiter a tip: "Good job."
The little wit blinked his eyes: "If there is a need, continue to look for me next time. Wet women's clothes, I am the best at it." White smiled and his shoulders trembled, and quickly let him leave this place.
The waiter who took a lot of tips went downstairs happily, where there is the embarrassed and sorry gesture before, but it looks like a strutting cock!
White quickly opened up this thick agreement. Unlike Bricia's, the other party was worthy of being a big company. It had been prepared for a long time. The agreement was drawn up first. This is a capital injection agreement.
White glanced roughly, and reading a lot of books gave him the ability to find precise terms. Before the four or five of the other party could review and play individually, White pushed the agreement aside and took a glass of cold water to drink.
A member of the negotiating team planned to take a peek at his face and saw something from it. He discovered that White was expressionless. Even a slight expression could not be saved at this time. The person who took this course at the university was a little frustrated. Surprised.
Have you finished reading it so soon? You still have a calm look on your face. You can't see that it is a college student who is younger than them.
The man was sighing in his heart, but he saw White's eyes swept at him. The man looked away embarrassingly as if he had been caught, but White just gave him a gentle and kind smile.
When the heads of these people were raised, White estimated that the time was about the same. According to Caroline's meticulous character, it would take five or six minutes to come out, which was more than enough for him.
White smiled and said, "You guys seem to be young. I don't know if there are any alumni who graduated from Stanford. I want to meet them."
They looked at each other, the words they were preparing couldn't speak at this moment, but the partner said so and couldn't refuse to answer. One of them raised his hand to indicate, and then put it down.
White turned his gaze to this person, and said in his heart, okay, I'll take you. I'm sorry, brother, I have to build up my prestige, not to make your company too proud. Otherwise, I will be led by the nose of the woman Caroline.
White smiled and said, "I think there is a clause in the treaty, which is about our board members. What you mean, you want other top executives of the Washington Post to have a seat on the board, right?"
This humane said: "Yes, we think this is reasonable. This is conducive to the promotion of cooperation between the two companies, which could not be better."
"So what do you want to say?"
"what?"
White craned his neck and said, "If you want to join the board, it's always a bad idea to come by yourself! So I guess you are all the negotiating team that wants to join the board, right? Since you are one of them, you must have plans. Everyone has a different age. It's not big, it just happens to be more convenient to talk about."
This humanity: "They didn't come today..."
"What?" White pretended to be surprised. "I think no matter what, I have to express one or two. Although I am a small company, Lumblar can't agree so hastily. Or you plan to let me and you The senior executives of those companies have an open chat?"
After White pretended to be angry, he took the coat from the chair and walked out. Several people behind him hurriedly followed up and said: "If you have something to say, it will not be difficult to find another opportunity if you want to meet."
Walking in a hurry, the young people in their thirties hung up their chairs and made a ping-pong-pong sound. Seeing that White had decided to go, they suddenly became anxious, and there was no such thing as the calmness on their faces when they first arrived.
