American Fortune Life

Chapter 1925: Two-edged Cutting, Blunt is Known

Negative impacts are spreading to news groups in the business of the United States. Murdoch was “forced into the palace” and independent members of the News Group Board hoped that Murdoch would announce his succession plan as soon as possible in order to allay shareholders' concerns.

Although the scandal involved newspapers representing only a small fraction of the press group's media empire, eavesdropping has led to a drain in the value of news groups by billions of dollars, from $18.34 at the time of the scandal to $12.97. The market value of the Murdoch family's holdings in the News Group has also shrunk by $1.5 billion.

When news of the arrest of Rebecca Brooks, former president of News International, came out in the UK, shareholders began selling stocks in large quantities, and the price of News Group shares fell further. Standard & Poor's lower credit rating undoubtedly adds to the snow.

News Group shareholders are already divided into several factions. Murdoch was formerly capable of strong repression, but now the forces of intra-group silence have begun to rise, with Peter Chenin, chief operating officer of the News Group, the strongest supporter.

Murdoch had to drag his old body, tired and tired, to meet Andy Smith, the Wall Street hungry wolf, who plays the trumpet of the silent horn and madly makes Sky News!

In the heart of Rockefeller, two doorways open in a classic luxurious office with gorgeous décor, intense colours and a luxurious look. Under the gorgeous European chandelier, Andy Smith, with a pencil up his suit, stepped on a rug full of classical beauty, smiled and looked at Murdoch walking to the door, stepping forward to greet him, reaching out his hand two steps away.

“Good morning, Rupert, there's been a distant welcome, sorry. ”

Murdoch's face has no smile under the stylish Panamanian straw hat. He reached out silently and Andy shook.

“You're welcome. A winner always has to be a winner. ”

“Oh, please...”

Andy didn't shy away from Murdoch, he smiled, and quite frankly, he didn't have to do it, he was a winner.

Instead of sitting on a soft sofa, Murdoch took off his Panamanian straw hat and his shady eyes stared at Andy with a smile on his face, relatively silent.

“Enjoy your coffee...”

Soon, dressed in a chiffon white shirt with a black bag TUN group, Black s' assistant sent coffee, Murdoch's eyes fell on the assistant's smiling face with a liquor cabinet, his eyes glistened, his mouth slightly flashed, and he said softly: “It is famous for a long time, at first sight today, it is indeed divine, rare, unfortunate. ”

Looking at Murdoch across the street, using words such as "sluggish” and “thin" is not enough to describe his current state. Andy, who would have been a little sluggish, heard the tone and ridicule in the conversation, couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He reached out very slightly and indicated, “Taste it, this is the finest Blue Mountain coffee, paired with her technology, is absolutely unmatched. ”

Little assistant looks like someone in the UK is no longer new, he rarely talks about making Andy look like such a god, unfortunately it's ridiculous, fake is fake.

“Oh, really? That's really something to taste.” Murdoch's expressionless old face slightly provoked his eyebrows and reached out and held up the coffee cup.

Andy also held up a coffee with a fragrant aroma, smiled slightly, took a sip, smiled eyes, looked across the street seemed to be focusing on Murdoch's taste of coffee, and the rising curvature in the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

Old fox, admitting to losing won't be happy admitting to losing, and trying to take the initiative, only unfortunately, the fish on the chopping board, how to jump, can't escape that knife!

Even as Murdoch resolutely broke the wrist, abandoned the technique of car guards, promised to shut down 168-year-old World News and abandoned the acquisition of the British Sky Broadcasting Corporation, it would still be difficult to quell the public's anger. A thank you, goodbye suspension, and a signed apology letter from the Seven Newspapers failed to end the eavesdropping incident, and things are still moving towards a more serious situation.

Murdoch and his empire became “the shaky old man” and “the shaky empire”, condemned by the unanimous voice of world public opinion. In addition to the external blows of internal concern, another blow to Murdoch is undoubtedly the Prince's folding wings.

According to information received, voices within the press group have questioned whether 38-year-old James Murdoch remains Murdoch's most popular successor, and the group's shareholders have not only questioned James' crisis-handling abilities, but laughed at his lack of editorial experience and even offered to resign his strategy, Xing.

And even more deadly, in the United States, the FBI has begun investigating reports of wiretapping by newspaper reporters under the News Group of the victims of 9/11. Then, the most tragic end for a news group would be to be found guilty of a breach of ethics and the operating licence of a United States television station would be revoked under the United States Federal Communications Act. This is undoubtedly exacerbated by the difficult Murdoch News Group.

To be honest, Andy still admires Murdoch and Murdoch's news group, one of the largest and most internationalized integrated media companies in the world, with 20th Century Fox Films, Fox Broadcasting, Fox News Channel, MySpace, an international dating website, and many newspapers and satellite televisions in the UK and Australia. Absolutely magnificent, Murdoch is arguably the first and possibly the last worldwide “media tycoon”.

If possible, Andy naturally wants to destroy or swallow each other directly, unfortunately, at this time, he really has the power not to arrest.

“Bang--”

Murdoch put the coffee cup in his hand on the table, looked at Andy with no expression, his eyes sharp and gloomy, and said indifferently, "When are you going to quit? ”

Hearing some arrogant accusations from each other, Andy wasn't angry, but smiled and put the coffee cup down, some relaxed leaning back on the back of the sofa, spreading his hands open, and smiled softly: “Chuchi Wall Street was a long time ago. I just knew it was a magical place, full of aspirations.

Slowly growing up, the impression of it leaves only the sleepless capital age, the sleepless Wall Street. Even because of his own elevation, he was disdainful of Wall Street... Huh? “

Andy shook his head and smiled with ridicule. Instead of stopping worrying about what Murdoch wanted to hear, he continued to say to himself: “When I really got in, I knew it was a financial net that spread to the world, powerful and fragile, bright and dark. This network can both accelerate and stifle the economy. He's Wall Street!

You know, capital doesn't believe in tears!

Oh, I know, a lot of people out there are saying behind my back that I'm a Wall Street Hungry Wolf, a greedy vampire, but I don't care, like I don't care about methods, just about winning or losing, and my chief think tank once taught me, "If you want to find a friend on Wall Street, find a dog, the world out there is a close rou fight. ” “

Andy smiled and said, like smelling a bloody shark, subconsciously touching Chun's mouth.

Murdoch's silent eyebrows were frowned upon, and he knew better than anyone that New York, behind the flourishing world of flowers, was an unknown bloodbath, and that those big corporations could do anything for profit. Yeah, the fight for capital, it's always a tireless, dangerous struggle.

“For the week in a row, the front page of The New York Post contains a letter of apology to you and your family... And I assure you, all media outlets under the News Group will not be covering your Fancy News from now on!

I know you've always wanted to take back the X-Men's copyright, and I can promise you, I'll give you half the copyright, Marvel can use mutants... “

“Ha ha... ”

Andy laughed and interrupted Murdoch's words, laughing until Murdoch's face darkened and slowly converged and smiled as his eyebrows tightened so that the wrinkles on his forehead could almost kill the fly. His eyes burned and his cold face flashed with a cold smile.

“Rupert, you're really old, and whether you don't accept it or not, the new era is a cruel reality of" winners take it all ". Do you really think this self-righteous condition you're talking about can replace hundreds of millions of dollars?

Don't be silly! ”

Listen to the sarcasm, Murdoch trembled slightly all over his body, his eyes staring angrily at Andy, like an old wolf choosing someone and chewing on his teeth and saying, “Are you sure you want to keep dying? ”
