China's Eccentric Millionaire Chen Guangbiao gives money away to street cleaners.

The Chinese millionaire who sold cans of fresh air to residents of smog-ridden Beijing, said he was in talks to buy the New York Times.

The 45-year-old recycling tycoon was scheduled to meet a "leading shareholder" of the Times on 5 January to discuss his offer of $1bn (£607m, €733m) for the newspaper.

The New York Times has a market value of about $2.4bn but its publisher denied it was up for sale.

Chen said he had convinced a Hong Kong-based "Jewish-American" financer to part-fund the proposed deal, reported Reuters.

The unnamed financer, expected to invest $600m, had previously executed two acquisition deals with US media outlets but Chen gave no further details other than that they were not as big as the NY Times.

Shares in the Times Company jumped more than 4 percent to a five-year high on Monday, shortly after the businessman, Chen Guangbiao, hinted at his plans in a speech in southern China.

Arthur Sulzberger Jr., publisher of The New York Times, said in 2013 that the family that controls the paper is not interested in selling it.

„The New York Times“ tradicija ir stilius trukdo objektyviai nušviesti tai, kas vyksta Kinijoje“, – rašė Chen Guangbiao.

„Jei galėtume jį nusipirkti, jo tonas pasikeistų. Dėl šios priežasties aš dalyvauju diskusijose su panašiai mąstančiais investuotojais, kuriose svarstomi su įsigijimu susiję reikalai“, - nurodė jis.

Banko „Snoras“ bankroto administratorius Neilas Cooperis antradienį patvirtino, kad pasiektas preliminarus susitarimas dėl UAB „Snoras Media“ akcijų pardavimo.

Akcijas panoro nupirkti su „Lietuvos ryto“ vadovais susijęs žinomas verslininkas Benas Gudelis.

Įsigijęs 34 proc. „Lietuvos ryto“ akcijų Benas Gudelis tapo didžiausiu šios žiniasklaidos bendrovės akcininku.

„Snoras Media“ 34 proc. akcijų įsigijo mainais į 20 mln. litų paskolą. Taip buvo išspręstos nuostolingai dirbusio „Lietuvos ryto“ finansinės problemos.
