King of Hollywood

“That's it, I'm almost gone. I have an appointment a little later.” After the directors had left, the two men in the conference room sat silently for a half hour, and Adrian stood up.

“Oh? And that... Brooklyn? Decor?” Claude thought about it and asked.

“No, something else, Christina? Hendricks and Brooklyn? Dickel was just as hot, no, even richer, full of flesh bullets.” Adrian smiled.

“Two women a day?” Claude picked the eyebrows with some surprise, "you were really excited, although this was a normal time for you, but I still... couldn't help wanting to shake my head. ”

“No, I got Brooklyn two days ago, and I called her today just to be in the conference room later.” Adrian blinked his eyes and smiled badly, "I did it for you, Claude. ”

Claude didn't hesitate to give it a middle finger, and then he thought, "Wait, I remember Christina? Hendricks is not..."

“Yes, one of the main characters in Advertisement Maniac," Adrian waved, "although Fox bought it at a high price, I recommended her, let alone I was a superdirector. Besides, even without all this, is it hard for me to get her into bed? ”

“No wonder we only have daughters.” Claude muttered.

Adrian squinted his eyes and said, "Do you think I haven't beaten you? ”

“Hey, I didn't say anything.” Claude raised his hand to deceit.

“Okay.” Adrian mumbled, “Heard Helen was pregnant, I'm sure it would be a girl. ”

“It's okay, as long as it hasn't been,” Claude said, "hey, smiling and waved, and then rushing to change the subject," and speaking of which, despite the success of getting Fleming out, you got me in trouble, Ed. I bet. Before you nominate another new executive director, Kahn will surely see me dead. ”

“Impossible,” Adrian laughed, “if he hadn't woken up after the incident, then he didn't deserve to be on the board. Frankly, Kahn was very capable, but a little more ambitious, and Fleming saw it before he took advantage of it, with this lesson. Don't worry about him for a long time at least. ”

“Well, anyway. We have basically achieved our goal, although…" Claude appealed.

Although everything seemed to be under control, and they did plan a lot, there were in fact many unexpected situations. The most typical example is the cleaner's video, which, after investigation, was actually shot with shitty luck, so it was an accident and directly disrupted Adrian and Claude's plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

Long before that, they realized something was wrong within the company. Acquisitions that have been sniped at, like Advertiser Maniac that has been robbed, etc. These are the things they aspire to, but they are all stolen by news groups, and they are all done by using them to quarrel, to crack and not to react in a timely fashion.

The timing was so good that they were not informed internally. That's absolutely impossible, so the first priority is to get this guy out. However, they were destroyed by the cleaners' videos before they even started. And give your opponent a great chance to smear himself. Fortunately, Adrian and Claude are at least one step in the right direction, and that is to continue to keep this indifference to each other, as if it had not been reconciled to gather evidence in secret, until some people themselves jump out.

While the cost would be a bit high, it would also be a good idea to clean up some of the restless guys and not have to pay.

Fortunately, the end result was largely under control, even though Adrian and Claude were surprised when Fleming and the press group were identified, and Murdoch was a big shot. However, as long as it is dug up, and after this, even though it is impossible for the ac media to identify it for any reason, it is okay to release the information privately, and Fleming is therefore unlikely to be able to serve in another company, and no one will hire such a person.

Meanwhile, knocking on the AC Media Board was a reward, and then... the two people in the conference room exchanged a look, and it all went without saying.

With the minor adjustments made by the AC Media Board, everything began to move in their favor, although rumors such as the huge rift between the two founders were still circulating and the shadow of funding failure had not faded. It disappointed a lot of people who wanted to see a good show, and it was so big before, and it ended up being so understated, too bad —— except for Rupert? Murdoch.

Murdoch, as the man who personally directed the storm, had no regrets, and he knew very well that doing and doing the same thing would not be 100% successful. Besides, his aim was almost halfway there, and the AC media was unable to expand for at least a few years.

Murdoch didn't want to calculate the AC media that way, if that's okay, which is very unwise, but it's not up to him now. If you're going to pick the biggest enemy for a news group, not Viacom, not Times Warner, not Disney, the biggest enemy for a news group, is also just AC Media.

In less than 20 years, those two young men had accomplished what he had taken 30 years or more to achieve, and that was not counted as the amount of time he had spent accumulating experience when he was younger. They are always able to accurately grasp the veins of the times, hardly make any mistakes, and the more opportunity stand out of Adrian's ideas, even the most difficult to access, even their own continental market, they are abandoning channels such as networks and movies to expand and erode.

Many practitioners are jealous and Murdoch is among them, but that's not why he did it. Growing news groups to this day as a first hand, the old fox has experienced the big wind wave. He doesn't do emotional work on such big things. This is also due to the fact that the AC media is expanding so fast that even though it has slowed down in recent years, there is still a lot of room for development, and if you don't want to be constantly eroded and squeezed, curbing them is the inevitable option.

However, Adrian and Claude work together with each other to score implicitly, leaving little room for opportunity, even though Murdoch is long gone. This time. Murdoch would probably have to wait if they hadn't had a disagreement over the listing, and that's why he wanted to push Claude out of the AC media.

Adrian, as everyone knows, is visionary and imaginative, but only Claude can make it all a reality. If he could be squeezed out of the AC media, it would be like breaking one arm of the AC media, even if Adrian wakes up later and lets go of his face and invites him back, wanting to do the same thing again. Basically unlikely.

Unfortunately, it was unexpected that they would soon make up. And then they blindfolded everyone and dug Fleming out -- that's too bad Murdoch didn't pull each other together enough, who did? Combined with the fact that the AC media is unlisted and has a complete industrial chain and is semi-closed, it has not been particularly hard hit.

Actually, if you can. Murdoch really wants to wait for the ac media to go live.

But that's enough now, even though AC Media is still younger than other media groups and still has underlying problems, it's already huge. Such a huge thing can only suppress the impossibility of annexation or dismemberment, and now, although it looks like the ac media is just a financing failure. And the mole was dug up in time to adjust the board members. It didn't hurt much, but it took a lot of work to deal with the series of effects that came with it.

And this time, a lot of people have seen the after-effects of the AC media's rapid expansion. There will certainly be people who want to start from within them - you know, before Murdoch, many heads of media groups actually had this idea, and the pressure from the rapid expansion of AC media was not just borne by news groups, but unfortunately only by Murdoch's actions, which made it inevitable that news groups would be among the top three media groups.

Of course, when the press group took the initiative, many people joined in, didn't say hello but cooperated with the tacit agreement, then the story of the two people's discord could not be handled by the news group. Likewise, Wall Street was hit, otherwise AC Media Financing would not be so difficult and face a lot of tough conditions.

If Adrian and Claude are smart enough, all they have to do now is shrink back and further solidify their foundations, before they can even expand.

They should thank me. Murdoch was somewhat proud to walk in the club. At least I told them the importance of the foundation.

He does deserve to be proud of his ability to make such a fuss inside the AC media and buy time and opportunity for news groups.

“Hey, Rupert,” came the greeting, and Thunderstone's face, a little stiff because of the skin planting, appeared in front of Murdoch, "Why is there no one here, your beautiful wife? ”

“Wendy didn't like the occasion," Murdoch chuckled and pushed the glasses on the nose beam, "I just spoke to Congressman Fields, and I promised to support his environmental protection bill. ”

“It's surprising that you would also support the Environmental Protection Bill.” Thunderstone picked the eyebrows.

“I always do the right thing.” Murdoch, open your hands.

Two old opponents talked to each other like that, and then they joined a few people, some in the media industry and others, but all decent people.

“Speaking of which, it seems that only one of the two people from AC Media came in today," Talking, someone suddenly mentioned this, "before they said they had nothing to do with each other. ”

“Maybe one of them won't make it, maybe one of them just feels bored and doesn't want to - in fact, I find it a little boring.” Someone whispered, "Don't be sad, Bob. ”

“Yes, they're not fools. Will they keep arguing?” Lei Shidong also echoed the sentence, and at the same time glanced at Murdoch, the mastermind of the news group, which was no secret among several large media groups.

“Young people always grow when they experience setbacks.” Murdoch smiled back.

Then a voice plugged in: “I did learn a lot, for example, that more detailed plans could be unintentionally interrupted or bought. ”

Adrian appeared in front of them with a glass of wine, Murdoch's face slightly changed, Thunderstone picked out the eyebrows, and the others looked a little ugly, after all, they were just discussing him.

“Hello, Ed. Already out of the busy business?” The one who spoke for him was the first to say hello.

“Yes, it took half a month to finally get everything done. It wasn't easy,” Adrian's tone was emotional, "and that's why I finally got my hands free to do what I was supposed to do. ”

“Oh, what is it?” Someone asked curiously.

“You know, compared to all of you, I'm a young man," Adrian smiled at Murdoch, "so it's impossible to do things forever with consequences in mind. ”

Then, without waiting for time, he turned to Murdoch and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "You want war, I'll give you war, Rupert! ”

After he left without returning, watching as his back disappeared as he put the cup in the tray of a passing waiter, Murdoch turned his head back and tried to control his surprise and squeezed out a smile: “How rude the young man is today. ”

Then ignore others, including Thunderstone, if thoughtful expression leaves.

That was more of a declaration of war than a threat, and yes, Adrian declared war on behalf of the ac media. Murdoch couldn't help but be shocked to know that it was only about three weeks before the board meeting, and that Adrian and Claude were at best rationalizing their internal and external affairs, and even if they were to retaliate, it should not be now.

But in Adrian's tone, this is definitely not a joke. In that case, either they can't shame their face and force revenge at all costs in order to re-establish their prestige; or they grab his unknown painful feet and are ready to take a fatal blow.

In the style of Adrian and Claude, obviously it won't be the first one, just a closer analysis reveals that they seem lucky, but they always plan to move backwards, so...

Then Murdoch went all the way back to his mansion, and even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't be sure where they were going to attack. Even after a few phone calls to the assistant and the person below, vaguely questioning him, he still couldn't figure it out.

Maybe they're really just intimidating? Murdoch, who had fallen asleep vaguely after several flips in bed, thought so.

Soon, however, he was woken up by a midnight telephone bell: "Boss, no good, the Guardian printed a supplement today, claiming that they already have real wiretapping evidence for The World News!” (To be continued.
