v3 Chapter 797： Take advantage of the opportunity (1/2)

Jacob Rosier showed a pensive expression, and he didn't agree to it at the first time, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't want to let Xia Yu's strength continue to grow before controlling Xia Yu.

Even if you can’t control it, try to make it stronger in the United States, not in the United Kingdom, because the greater Xia Yu’s influence in the United Kingdom, the stronger his strength, the lower his dependence on the Rohill family. It is easy to rise up resistance.

The Mirror Group Newspaper Company is such a company that greatly increases its influence. If Xia Yu succeeds, it will go against their plan.

The Mirror Group Newspaper Company is the top media giant in the UK. It is now controlled by the Cecil King family. It is now one of the three major newspaper groups in the UK. It has successively annexed United Newspaper Group, Udance Magazine Group and other well-known media companies. The ”Daily Telegraph” and ”Financial Times” acquired by Xia Yu before can't compare with this group.

The Gein Mirror Group owns four national best-selling newspapers: Daily Mirror, Sports Life, Sunday Daily Mirror, and Sunday People’s Daily, each with daily sales of more than one million copies .

It also owns forty-seven local newspapers, including the Daily Record, which is very influential in Scotland.

The national newspaper circulation of the Mirror Group accounts for approximately 30% of the national total, and local newspapers account for approximately 8%.

In addition to newspapers, the Mirror Group also owns 90 kinds of weekly magazines, 123 biweekly, monthly and quarterly magazines. Among them, the circulation of some professional magazines accounts for about 6% of the total circulation of similar magazines. More than ten.

This is only in the strength of the Mirror Group in the field of British paper media.

The Mirror Group has been developing since the last century and has become an international media company. It has publishing companies in the United States, Nigeria, Italy, France, Spain and other countries. These foreign companies add up to more than 90 kinds. Newspapers and magazines, although there is no iconic big newspaper, but the quantity alone seems scary.

Moreover, the Mirror Group is also the major shareholder of United Television Corporation of the United Kingdom, holding 31.2% of the shares, and the main company of Clyde Broadcasting Company, holding 35.4% of the shares.

Among them, United Television Company is a media company formed by the combination of several major national television giants in the UK. Although there is no national television station, it owns 13 of the country’s 158 private local television stations and owns 1,000 Sixty-seven out of two hundred private radio stations.

Clyde Broadcasting Company is a company that manufactures wireless broadcasting equipment, and its strength in this field ranks second in the UK.

It can be seen that the Mirror Group has a very strong influence and is the leading media giant in the UK.

Last year, Xia Yu noticed it when he was thinking about acquiring a media company in the UK, but after careful consideration, he found that he couldn't buy the company at all, so he didn't make any more thoughts.

But now that Jacob Rohill came, Xia Yu caught the opportunity.

The Mirror Group is now controlled by the Cecil King family, and the Rohill family does not hold any shares in it.

But Xia Yu knows that the Cecil King family is the younger brother of the Rohir family, and their strength is not limited to the media field. They mainly follow the Rohir family in other important fields.

Xia Yu believes that as long as Jacob Rohill, the master of the Cecil King family, speaks, he can definitely buy it easily!

The Cecil King family will not be reluctant to sell, because according to the historical trajectory, their family sold the Mirror Group to Robert Maxwell in 1984, making Robert Maxwell instantly British Newspaper magnate.

Xia Yu is not bad for the money to buy the Mirror Group, but what he lacks is the ability to solve the problems encountered in the acquisition.

If the Mirror Group can be bought, combined with the Financial Times company that Xia Yu originally owned, and the ”Daily Telegraph”, then his strength in the British paper media field will become the first, and everyone will give him three points of face. .

It is precisely because of these considerations that Jacob Rohill is hesitant.

But Xia Yu made a request. If he doesn't help, then Xia Yu can naturally refuse to sell the shares of Royal Bank of Scotland to them, and they would be shameless if they mention it again.

After all, he has always boasted that the Rothschild family is strong in Britain, but Xia Yu couldn't complete his first cooperation request, so he absolutely slapped himself in the face.
