American Fortune Life

Immortal?

Andy didn't care at all about Murdoch's stern threats, and even sneered a little. He knew his own affairs, and the only thing that Andy Smith could get hold of was the romantic affair of "a widow has a disease". The trouble is nothing but Charlize Theron and little Laura.

But, is Andy really afraid?

Often walking by the river, there is no reason not to get wet shoes, Andy knows better than anyone else, and he has no luxury that those things will never be discovered, even if he is careful every time, he is still ready to be caught one day Prepare for exposure.

To be honest, with Andy's status and wealth today, as long as the woman doesn't come out to make trouble, even if some specious photos are taken, he can smooth things over.

Then again, will Murdoch on the opposite side really die with Andy Smith? Especially in the form of a personal feud?

You know, whether it's exposing the 'buying news' scandal or shorting News Corporation, Andy has always used bright means and normal commercial means to carry out normal commercial fighting. Murdoch, the city of the old fox, will never form a personal enmity with Andy.

Andy, the richest man in the world, is really too young. Murdoch, who is close to 80 years old, now wishes to leave more legacy to his family and the group, so as to ensure that the group will remain stable in the next century.

If there is such a personal enemy as Andy who never dies, it is really impossible to imagine that his children, without his protection, will be killed by this evil young man in front of him in the future.

What's more, Murdoch is a pure businessman!

For Murdoch, the consideration of the news concept is only the second place, and the profit occupies the first place.

Like, when people talk about the greats of journalism, people never talk about Rupert Murdoch with Pulitzer and Katharine Graham, even though he's got a lot of business in media Achieved more than any of them, even though he always proclaimed "I've been a newspaperman since I was a baby and I just love newspapers." People would never rank him as a journalism great line of characters.

Because behind the huge commercial halo, his "kitsch" way of pursuing commercial interests is also constantly being criticized and crusaded by people. In the eyes of many people, Murdoch is just a somewhat "shameless" newspaper speculator, and he is far from being noble.

Andy also believes that Murdoch doesn't care what others say. Because, judging from Murdoch's actions, he may not have thought of turning himself into a person with humanistic feelings and noble ideals at all. His identity is completely a businessman, and the newspaper is just a tool for him to make money.

In the final analysis, whether it is a newspaper or a TV station, it is still a commercial activity, and Murdoch's greatest interest lies in making money.

Therefore, facing Murdoch's threat, Andy smiled very presumptuously, and even showed a look of contempt on his face.

"Haha... Immortal? Why? With you and your family controlling 30% of the shares and 39% of the voting rights in News Corporation? A media empire with a market value of 68 billion U.S. dollars... Tsk tsk, you don't think I have the ability to become The largest shareholder, squeeze you out and completely marginalize the Murdoch family, right?"

At this time, the expression on Murdoch's old face became extremely exciting, and he was startled with a hint of panic and gradually fear, but he still forcibly calmed down and said coldly: "You can't do it!"

"Maybe." Andy leaned leisurely on the sofa, folded his arms, looked at Murdoch with a half-smile, and said calmly: "Maybe I can't do it when you are here, but I will I'm only 25 years old, I can wait, the biggest advantage of me is patience, I like to plan ahead, 10 years can't work, just 20 years, at that time, I was only 45 years old."

Looking at Murdoch, who was already pale and paler,

The corner of Andy's mouth raised, and he said arrogantly: "To put it bluntly, youth is my greatest capital, the future! The future of the world belongs to me, because I am young enough and have a huge wealth, so, believe me, as long as I think I can do it!"

"call--"

Murdoch looked at Andy, who showed a sharp edge, and he, who had always refused to accept his old age, felt a kind of aggrieved and depressed that he had never felt before. Like a deflated ball, he leaned on the back of the sofa , shook his head with a wry smile and said with emotion: "It's nice to be young!"

"Yeah, it's nice to be young!" Andy said with a sassy smile, agreeing.

At this time, Murdoch looked a little weak and old, with a tired smile on his face, his voice became gentle, and he said helplessly in his tone: "If you have any requests, please tell me, it's not too much, I willing to accept."

"I have been a victim from the beginning to the end, and I am famous for my teacher, am I not?" Andy asked with a light smile, and continued with Murdoch's wry smile: "I have never been a greedy person." People, so my conditions will never be too much, but I will never accept objections, once I say it, it will be the final result, can you accept it?"

Murdoch's old, dissatisfied face was slightly flushed, and a stern look flashed in his eyes. However, after a moment of silence, he finally nodded expressionlessly.

"Since you agree, then I'll say it!" Andy also suppressed his smile, sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and maintained a sense of oppression, and said lightly.

"First, the "New York Post" is closed, and the compensation is 50 million. A settlement is reached, and I will withdraw the lawsuit... Don't get excited, this is not negotiable!" Andy reached out his hand to stop Murdoch, whose lips were trembling in anger, He said coldly: "If you say let it go bankrupt, let it go bankrupt. I want to keep my word. I just want to use its fate to tell everyone, don't mess with me and my family!"

Seeing Andy's originally handsome face turned into an unusually ferocious, full of chilling roar, Murdoch was also startled, opened his mouth with a frown, and finally leaned back on the sofa, expressionless and cold. Said loudly: "Go on!"

"Second, I want to take back all the copyrights of the mutants, free of charge! You can continue to use the IP of the X-Men to complete the existing shooting plan. The script needs to pass the acceptance of Marvel. The shooting plan cannot exceed five, only existing character, no more character derivation and new character expansion!"

As soon as this condition came out, Murdoch was also slightly taken aback. Before he came, he was mentally prepared. The copyright issue of mutants would definitely become a condition that Andy Smith must mention. He thought that Andy would just ignore it. He did not expect that the conditions would be like this, which was really beyond his expectations.

Andy saw Murdoch's accident, but he was not the kind of person who would kill everything. . . Pooh! Well, the main reason is that 20th Century Fox has made the X-Men series very successful. Andy took back the mutants to make the Marvel movie universe bigger and more selective. As for taking over the X-Men that has entered the late stage The series really doesn't mean much anymore, but it's a trouble. It's better to continue handing it over to Fox, let them continue filming, and expand the influence of the X-Men's IP. The ultimate beneficiary will be Marvel, which has already withdrawn the copyright.

"Third, we both signed a memorandum of understanding. News Corporation must promise that from the date of signing the agreement, it will not report any negative news about me personally. If it violates and causes serious adverse effects, News Corporation will compensate me 1 billion US dollars. !"

"Too much!" Murdoch said coldly, frowning tightly.

"Hehe, it's not too much at all, as I said, the compensation agreement will be triggered only if it causes serious and bad effects, isn't it?" Andy asked back with a smile, sneering in his heart, he believed that the old guy must have his own black hands Although I don’t know what it is, I can eliminate it directly from the source. As for whether the old fox will slander him and hand over the black material to a third-party media, Andy is also prepared. He will state it in the memorandum of understanding and restrict it. .

Although, the effect of this kind of restriction will not be great, but it is better than nothing, so I can only be more careful when stealing fish by myself in the future.

"Are there only these three conditions?" Murdoch looked at Andy coldly and asked coldly.

"There are only three, and you should also see my sincerity in solving the problem, so refuse to bargain!" Andy said with a smile.

"Okay, I agree!"
