American Fortune Life

"Cultural relics are the witness of historical civilization. Recording every stage of human development is the crystallization of wisdom and a priceless treasure. Whether it is a cultural relic in their own country or not, everyone has the obligation to protect it from infringement. History cannot repeat itself, only Protection is the only way to pass on.”

In the returning car, Andy put his arms around Lima, with a serious expression, and said righteously, maybe a bit shameless, but the reality is like this, neither Ah nor Yi have lost the ability to protect them.

Those in Andy's warehouse are really just a drop in a bucket of water. In Afghanistan and Iraq, the phenomenon of cultural relics being looted is extremely common. For the locals, digging for antiques is like digging for potatoes: harvest and sell.

At the same time, it was also accompanied by more serious chaos. Many people were even murdered or beaten to death with sticks when arguing about who should own the cultural relics. In the black market on the border, all kinds of black and white were staged every day. . .

A large number of rare works of art were secretly transported to the UK and sold in the US, and the sales channels were various, through merchants, the Internet, and even on-site sales in trucks. It is said that there are no less than 10,000 items of Iraqi cultural relics for sale on eBay.

Not to mention some rare cultural relics that were artificially damaged and destroyed during transportation, there are countless.

It's not that Lima didn't guess that there might be some problems with the origin of these cultural relics, but so what, just like what my man said, after all, someone needs to protect them. As for the others, she doesn't care, she It is enough to know that my man has this hobby and this ability.

Back home, Lima watched Andy open the suitcase and pour out all kinds of gems from the black velvet bags. His gray-green eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up, screaming excitedly.

Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Aquamarine, Zircon, Citrine, Epidote. . .

Although the size is different, it is enough to dazzle people. Lima picked up a blood-red ruby ​​the size of a thumbnail and watched it obsessively.

Sure enough, women have the blood of the dragon clan, and the shiny stone has the most deadly temptation for them.

It is undoubtedly a very terrible thing for a woman who is completely in XF to go crazy. The wolf palace transforms, and her gens are deeply ingrained until she dies. . .

At around 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Andy yawned a little tiredly, lifted the quilt sleepily, and walked into the bathroom. with.

While taking a shower, Andy missed those long tui, tsk tsk, the wild horse leaps forward!

After taking a shower, Andy walked out of the bathroom with a towel around him, changed his clothes, leaned over and kissed the forehead of Lima, who was still sleeping soundly, with his hair loose, and walked out of the bedroom without a sound.

Seeing Andy going downstairs, the maid immediately brought a cup of coffee, "Sir, here are this morning's newspapers and "Newsweek", breakfast will be ready soon."

"Thank you." Andy said lightly, took a stack of newspapers, and took the lead in opening the latest issue of "Newsweek". Political scandals, as the headlines of this issue, are reported in a unified global version, which can be called a big deal.

Of course, in order not to completely become an enemy in the eyes of the French and become an unwelcome member, "Newsweek" still restrained its exposure a little bit, and used the key figures involved in serious illegal incidents such as corruption and extortion as Letters take the place of names.

This is also the best way to avoid, because there is no evidence to prove whether the other party is guilty or not, to avoid being bitten by the party concerned and reporting defamation to the newspaper. Even if letters are used instead of names, it is enough to cause damage. If anyone knows, please sit down!

Since the British came up with a new rule of 'slander, no money if you win', it has completely ignited the resentment of celebrities, stars, and politicians in the western world towards the media who have hacked them. British lawsuit,

For a while, some media were embarrassed.

Of course, the most unlucky thing is Fleet Street in the UK, followed by multinational media such as "Newsweek". If it is the same as before, if there is not enough evidence, it is easy to get involved in SAO, so now many media are reporting some scandals. Sometimes, the real names are not used, and readers and parties are allowed to check their seats.

Andy believes that this issue of "Newsweek" will be popular all over the world. This is not something made up by tabloids. There are no details about the romantic affairs of French President Lao Sa, even his ex-wife divorced twice. The things about running away from home and eloping with others are all described in detail, almost completely revealing Lao Sa's private life.

Not to mention the affairs of other French political figures, it is almost a special issue, introducing the wonderful and chaotic private lives of French political figures to the world, and the details are almost impossible for those French figures who read this issue of "Newsweek". Refutation is like sitting on pins and needles.

Even though the French people are very tolerant of this kind of scandal in their private life, they can't calm down when they see that the officials they have chosen are partying like ghosts, messing up to the point of staggering.

Nima, a beautiful minister, almost has a tui with several cabinet members, even the president Lao Sa is the guest of honor, this Nima is a bit like pole vaulting in the toilet, it's too much!

Whoa, whoa-

The whole world was in an uproar, and then there was laughter. The British almost went crazy with laughter. All the media and the Internet began to taunt the French, the American media, the German media, and even let a model without clothes become a minister. Italy also turned on the taunting mode and made a fuss.

This has given the world a rare moment of relaxation in the panic of the raging financial turmoil. Gossip and complaints have temporarily replaced anxiety and panic.

Andy knew that soon, his phone would be busy, and just as he expected, he had just finished breakfast and was walking on the still green lawn in the front yard of the main house when his phone started ringing .

Old Smith laughed heartily and happily, talking about the worries of his "French friend", and hoped that "Newsweek" would not reveal certain things. . .

Then came Paulson. . .

General Electric. . .

Goldman Sachs. . .

Finally, Andy waited for the person he most wanted to contact, please call Vivendi Group.

When it comes to Vivendi, the French water company, many people may be a little unfamiliar, but Havas News Agency, Blizzard, and Universal Pictures, I believe many people are familiar with it. Yes, the above three companies are Vivendi. Subsidiary.

At the same time, this company is also a standard egg company, and what they like most is to play "capital games". Frequent splits, reorganizations, and cash-outs have made the acquired companies miserable, but for Vivendi, money is the last word.

After the merger of NBC and Universal Pictures, Vivendi held 20% of the shares of NBC Universal. This time, Andy's acquisition, the French guy is very chicken thief, no longer clamoring to sell shares as before, but procrastinating It has been silent, which annoys General Electric, who hopes to persuade them to acquire the 20%, and then negotiates with Andy.

And Andy naturally knows that General Electric is careful, but what makes Andy depressed is that neither General Electric nor his people can pry the gap from the chicken thief Frenchmen. The price is for sale.

Neither Andy nor General Electric want to be taken advantage of by Vivendi. Now both sides don't want to deal with the French, but as shareholders, they have to bring these bastards with them when negotiating.

This group of Frenchmen also saw what Andy and General Electric meant. They planned to let Andy complete the merger first, and then deal with them later. After in-depth investigation and understanding, it is natural to know that this young man has vicious methods. If Andy Smith takes over NBC Universal, I am afraid that Vivendi will become a beef on the chopping board and let this young man slaughter him.

For a conglomerate company like Vivendi, Andy only needs two tricks to play their game. They are dying, raising capital to dilute shares, making various losses, and looking for reasons not to pay dividends for several years in a row. . .

It’s no wonder that Vivendi’s board of directors doesn’t fry the pot, but it was a bit too much to pretend to be a fool before. If you take the initiative to come to the door, I’m afraid it’s in line with General Electric’s intentions, and you will be slaughtered. At this time, Vivendi, who was suffering, just received a call from the politicians they funded.

When he heard that he was saying hello to Andy Smith, the CEO of Vivendi was very happy. There were steps, and he found Andy's phone without saying a word.
