Chapter 1924: Knowing Him

“Despite Murdoch changing his PR strategy, his situation is becoming more and more embarrassing. ”

“Oh, the big man in the world press has unparalleled media power, but this time his media empire has begun to collapse in part. ”

“In fact, the bugging scandal in the UK is in fact long-standing and widespread, and this centralized outbreak mainly reflects a fatigue in the mechanisms and management within the UK Government. ”

“The story of eavesdropping has just begun, and calls for the dismantling of news groups are mounting to avoid the concentration and abuse of media power. ”

New York Rockefeller Center, NBC TV conference room, Andy sat steadily for the first time, including Alvitelli, with all media editors and directors under his banner present. Images such as those of the editors of the British newspapers Unique LI and Standard Evening News and the Los Angeles Times appeared on the display at the conference table, and there was much talk about sniping news groups over the past period.

Andy only smiled face-to-face at everyone's discussion, some lazy back on the boss chair, a pen spinning around his fingers, he had always insisted and firmly believed that the best idea and the most correct decision could only be made in the debate, which was why he would choose to meet with Murdoch and still insist on holding the meeting.

“A small matter can be so noisy that it reflects the long-standing management problems of the British Government. Collaboration between the Government and the media did not take place two days a day, but was institutionally implicit and essentially the result of a political struggle between the parties to collaborate and use the media.” In the video window, the editor-in-chief of Standard Evening News said with emotion.

“Indeed, Murdoch's rights are enormous, affecting almost every election in Britain. Many could not imagine that Murdoch was attracted to both major parties, hoping to win his support and that, with his help, their ranking in the polls would rise significantly. In return, Murdoch gained more and more control over the press cake, while at the same time interfering with preventing the British Government from taking regulatory measures that could hamper his business. To be honest, he is also responsible for the world's enemies. ”

In this case, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Lili, who has been in the crossfire, said with a grin that he had almost no interest in Murdoch.

“This time, news groups were fleeing, and thousands of protesters used Facebook and INS to appeal to the people to resist Murdoch. It was further claimed on the Internet that news groups promoted the illusion of the world, exaggerated news stories and turned news into a tool for Murdoch's commercial interests. ”

“He broke the bottom line of the news story too badly." Alvitelli, who had been listening quietly since the beginning of the meeting, looked at her boss and said with a smile: "Even innocent and virtuous people go to eavesdrop or buy information from the police at great cost, such a bottom line cannot be violated. Murdoch is not a professional newspaper, and his bones show the spirit of a daring explorer.

This crisis, however, will bring about some changes in the press corps, but it will not discourage Murdoch, who, after all, has long held the absolute vote of the press corps, which is essentially a family-controlled listed company.

The Murdoch family trust controlled nearly 40 per cent of the voting shares of Fox and News Group in the twenty-first century, where Murdoch had more rights than his children.

If anyone feels that this is the end of Murdoch's path, I can only say that they think too much, and like all great leaders, he is grabbing resources from within to deal with this threat. ”

Hearing Al's words, Andy, who had a smile on his face, flashed a ray in his eyes, and was deeply convinced of Al's conclusion that he was definitely the biggest beneficiary of this empty sniping news group, but only then, facing Murdoch, who abandoned the car guard, was not enough to shake the very roots of the news group.

Murdoch was a real entrepreneur, he founded a very strong news group, and his way was not learned from any business school. While several newspapers of news groups are at the forefront of the scandal, it should be remembered that they are only a small part of this vast media empire.

The simplest example is the Wall Street Journal, which he bought at a high premium, which undoubtedly showed that it was the most precious piece of property and that the editorial edition was gaining momentum. The newspaper itself has become a full-fledged daily newspaper. It is more lively and readable than any other newspaper style, and the volume of circulation has risen adversely, unlike the New York Times, which continues to decline.

All in all, the old fox Murdoch will finally resolve the crisis and come back to life.

If time could reverse, would Murdoch regret building his own strong enemy?

Anyway, whether time flies backwards or not, Andy plays on the subject, against Murdoch, against the news group, and most importantly, besides hatred among his peers, the news group has what Andy Smith needs.

“In fact, the crisis also gave them the opportunity to believe that, once the crisis had subsided slightly, the long-delayed split operation of the press group would be immediately put on the agenda, divided into two parts, with Murdoch's more interested media sector and the entertainment sector more favoured by shareholders. In addition to giving the Anglo-American people a confession, it also amounts to giving Wall Street a heart attack. ”

Alvitelli's analysis was agreed by all in the conference room, and NBC TV CEO Prapler frowned slightly: “The shocking eavesdropping of Bribery Breeze BO, the arrest of several journalists and the damage to credibility may eventually sting Murdoch, shifting his mind from newspaper to entertainment. In the future, Fox will be our biggest competitor! ”

At this point, everyone here was prepared. After all, this time the boss brought Murdoch's death to life, future hostility was inevitable, and Andy laughed irrevocably. Regardless of the future, he was the winner in this comparison.

As a winner, naturally enjoy the fruits of victory. This time, in addition to the desire for profit, the more important thing is to kill the chicken to show the monkey, let the other media know that the consequences of pissing him off Andy Smith is also a 'don't piss me off’ declaration. After all, knowing his own business, how unclean his PG is, once exposed, it really stinks the street!

“News groups are bound to focus on entertainment, which has always been Fox's support for the media sector, the former out of commercial reason and the latter his true love. He enjoys staying in his New York office all day calling editor-in-chief around the globe.

However, the decline of the paper media is also an indisputable fact. After this split, Murdoch, as long as he is not confused, will know how to make a trade-off and even think that he will expand the entertainment industry. ”

“Cough... ”

“ ”

Alvitelli's unabashedly straightforward analysis has embarrassed and upset all the newspaper editors present, after all, nobody likes to listen to what they value more than anything else, and is said to be declining and embarrassing, even if it is true.

“Oh, we do have some similarities, and I like to stay in the office and call the editor-in-chief of the newspapers.” Andy said something that seemed like a joke, dissipating the previous awkward atmosphere, and the editors of the newspapers present were greatly relieved and smiled, so long as their big boss liked the newspaper, it was the most fundamental.

“By the way, if I recall correctly, Murdoch never really settled in Los Angeles, where Hollywood is. I think I heard him say why, and he said that people in Los Angeles didn't like him.” Andy frowned slightly, turning the subject apart.

“In addition, Peter Chenin, now 13 years CEO of News Group, has created a luxurious pharaoh style office in Los Angeles that directly provokes Murdoch in a small East Coast room. This arrogance has recently even evolved into a court battle. In this eavesdropping scandal, Chenin not only publicly mocked Murdoch's eldest son, but also assisted the board in deporting him, who seemed to want to be the successor.

So, when things settle down, I'm sure Murdoch will resolutely fire Peter Chenin, who stabbed him in the back, despite the shareholders' opinions! ”

“Tsk, internal and external worries...” Andy, hearing this news, his eyes grew brighter, his mouth curved louder and louder, and he sent a bamboo bar to the door, and he didn't knock properly. I'm so sorry, God!
