Do you have to pay a price for doing things? If you didn't have to pay a price, wouldn't the world be in chaos? When Hearst used a newspaper to accuse Sheffield of using Chinese labor, he should have thought of today.

Media tycoons naturally made their fortunes through newspapers, so it is normal for problems to arise one day. In the eyes of Sheffield, a media trust is not really a particularly powerful opponent.

The Rockefeller family is called a trust, and the Hearst trust is nothing compared to the other people's trusts.

"I can give you a week to think about it, Mr. Hester. After all, this is a difficult decision. I will leave Los Angeles in a week." Sheffield patted Hester on the shoulder and finished.

After this exchange, it will take time to heal the pain.

It's just that Sheffield happened to be short on time and could only give Hearst a week. This was because both of them had good relations with the Democratic Party. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't even have a week to think about it.

None.

"You are so handsome when you bully others." Natalia held Sheffield's arm along the way, her eyes full of admiration. Every woman has her own teenage dream in her heart, and the slave owner must have nothing to do with Prince Charming.

, but more attractive than Prince Charming.

"You turned out to like a bad guy. Tell me earlier. You could search the entire United States and find no man more suitable for you than me." Sheffield made a grimace and threatened, "Hester.

If I were a Lucifer-level character, he would be considered a minotaur at best, how could he be compared with me?"

Once Hearst's media group is fully acquired, the pattern of public opinion will usher in another change. Similar to the de facto two-party politics of the United States, the media should be beaten to death by Duobao Wanglaoji and others.

The field only needs two voices, although Sheffield really hopes to have only his own voice.

However, because he entered the field of newspaper media not too early or too late, when the media trust had just been formed but had not yet become a real giant, he had to temporarily live in peace with the other two media giants.

If Sheffield completely absorbs Hearst's media group, the biggest advantage is that at least the Democratic Party will not have to make two voices that are not consistent. The interests of the western states are not completely consistent with the interests of the southern states. Just like the same

Anti-foreign, the threats faced by the West originate from Asia, and the threats faced by the southern states originate from Africa.

This kind of problem is not completely unsolvable, at least Sheffield thinks it can be solved, but Hearst cannot cooperate with him unconditionally, so there is only one way. The Democratic Party can only have one voice, and the other one can only get out. Get out of here.

Well, after a preliminary observation by the slave owner, the candidate should be Hearst.

Unlike Prinzer's later depression, Hearst Group is one of the largest diversified media groups in the world. Its main business involves 15 daily newspapers, 34 weekly magazines and more than 300 magazines and publications worldwide.

, including Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Esquire, Elle and Oprah magazines, etc., is a well-known media empire.

Being able to annex such an opponent filled Sheffield with a surging sense of accomplishment. The most important thing was that now that Hearst was in trouble, he could achieve his goal at a very low price.

"I have swallowed up Hearst's media group, and the newspapers in the Western and Southern states are all under my control." Sheffield was arrogant and boasted to Evelyn who rushed to San Francisco to have a private meeting with him.

"Among your company's businesses, the profit margin of the media is very low. I thought you were just running it casually, but I didn't expect you to be so concerned about it?" Evelin tilted her little head, leaning on Sheffield's shoulder and whispered, "Isn't this right?

Like you."

"The media is just one part of it, and Hollywood is just one part of it. Each link may not seem very powerful, but once the entire industrial chain is connected, it will be amazing. The industrial chain is not just in the factory."

Sheffield always needs to prepare for some public opinion, because since the death of William McKinley, Roosevelt may have to take action against trust companies. Strictly speaking, the United Company is a company without key industries. It should be impossible for a single area to be

Antitrust laws cause trouble, but politics is so dirty, who can guarantee that the federal government will not cause trouble.

Regarding the upcoming confrontation, Sheffield is eager to try, mainly because Standard Oil, which has the most obvious trust attributes, is blocking the bullet from the front. There is nothing wrong with the two companies joining forces to compete with the White House. He has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and he will not try it.

If you give it a try, how do you know that the president cannot be humiliated?

Compared to Sheffield, who enjoys the scenery and picks up girls, Hearst's life is much more difficult. With a net worth of tens of millions of dollars, the most urgent thing for him now is to hope for a miracle to happen and save his media career.

But the bad news that followed made Hearst's heart sink to the bottom. Public opinion was now too unfavorable to him. People have reason to believe that it was the inflammatory reports of Hearst's newspapers that indirectly led to the president's death.

was killed. When other newspapers saw this scene, they made a big fuss together and set off a frenzy of attacking Hearst.

The most critical thing is the stance of the political circles. His successor, President Theodore Roosevelt, also denounced the irresponsible behavior of newspapers owned by Hearst Media. Since then, Hearst has become notorious, and many readers have abandoned the New York Daily News and the San Francisco Daily News.

The Examiner, and a series of Hearst-owned newspapers, have seen their sales plummet and are in danger of going out of business.

By this time, Hearst felt like an invisible ghost had appeared around him, and he was full of depression. He didn't know that he could actually get through this, because Hearst Media still existed in later generations.

But Sheffield, who is also an important supporter of the Democratic Party, has sharpened his knife and is ready to take the opportunity to kick him out of the media industry.

On the surface, all this has nothing to do with Sheffield. He just revealed to public opinion that those newspapers belong to Hearst. But in fact, he hopes Hearst will die more than Prinzer does and leans toward the Democratic Party.

If the media had two voices, wouldn't it be easy for the left hand to fight the right hand?

A week later, the whistling slave owner once again appeared in Hearst's villa. Compared with the last time, the current situation was more favorable to Sheffield. Didn't you see what the successor President Roosevelt said, Hearst

Irresponsible reporting was an important reason for the president's assassination.

"I am willing to purchase eleven of your newspapers, including the San Francisco Examiner and the New York Daily News, for three million U.S. dollars. To be honest, the terms are not bad." Sheffield made an offer as soon as he sat down. "Actually, this

The price is very fair. Your senator's father left you more than eight million US dollars in assets. As a multi-millionaire, you have a high chance of success in any field. You don't have to be entangled in the media field. No.

What?"

It had only been a week since they last met. Hearst looked tired, as if he had aged several years. One can imagine how much pressure he has been under recently. If he was just facing the pressure of public opinion, he would still be sure to fight it. After all, he was facing the pressure of public opinion.

The slave owner is a clear example, but he can't find the power to help him. The Democratic Party has not taken a position on this matter. It is obvious that it has abandoned him as Sheffield said.

"I have a condition, hoping for Mr. William's help." Hester said helplessly, "If Mr. William can agree, I am willing to sell Hearst Media's newspapers."

"Please tell me!" Sheffield nodded. Since the media tycoon has been severely beaten by society and knows that he was wrong, he is willing to give Hearst a chance. After all, everyone has surrendered and lost half the money, so he can let him go.

"If I enter politics in the future, I hope to get help from the media power in the hands of Mr. William." Hester looked specifically into Sheffield's eyes, with a hint of prayer in his mouth.

"Well, okay!" Sheffield knew in his heart that Hearst would not succeed. Just because he was implicated in assassinating the president this time, Hearst was destined not to enter politics like his father.

You won't lose anything by helping Sheffield. This is just a empty promise. It would also be good for Hearst to let go now. A cool turn may gain the public's understanding. But even if it is understanding, Hearst

The road to politics has just changed from being completely unavailable to being in Shu, which is difficult to reach the sky.

On the first Sunday of December, nearly a month has passed since President William McKinley was assassinated, and twenty days have passed since his death, including the San Francisco Examiner, the New York Daily News, and all Hearst newspapers.

, and at the same time, a front-page headline was published on this day, announcing that Hearst had accepted Sheffield's $3 million offer to sell the ownership of all newspapers owned by Hearst Media.

Among these front-page headlines, Hearst expressed his apology for using sensational news to attract attention for a long time when he ran the newspaper. He also expressed his regret for the newspaper's one-sided report on President William McKinley that caused the president

Feeling guilty about being assassinated.

Hearst has always loved the media industry deeply, but he has felt guilty for his mistakes and finally made the decision to sell all his newspapers. He will no longer be involved in the media industry and wishes the entire media industry to no longer be involved in the media industry.

Troubled by sensational titles and unworthy of the content.

Hearst's withdrawal from the media industry has shocked everyone involved in the media, and they are also reflecting on whether they have made mistakes. But the most shocking thing is that it seems that the person who acquired Hearst Media has also been scolded by them several times.
