American Fortune Life

Rupert Murdoch breathed more and more white air out of his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face became more tangled. His eyes flickered unwillingly, and he stood still and looked at Andy Smith with a faint smile on his face.

"A lot of people hate and fear me, mainly because I never show weakness, boy, do you want to start a war?"

"Haha... Don't get me wrong, Rupert, why would I want to have a conflict with you, you must know that my Ivana and your wife are good girlfriends, my think tank has evaluated my personality, of course , including many potential partners, they have done it, but I didn’t expect that the two of us have a lot in common..."

Murdoch opened his half-closed eyelids, looked at Andy coldly, and waited for the young man's next words.

"They are all the kind of utilitarians who are extremely mercenary and can play around with the wind for the sake of profit..."

Hearing Andy's words, and seeing the meaningful smile on his young and handsome face, Murdoch took a deep breath, and the cold air entered his lungs, which made him suppress his anger, stepped forward, and continued to walk forward , and at the same time said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"No, no, Rupert, don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of mean and shameless villain who likes to get something for nothing, I like to win a win-win situation, business, everyone's profit will last long, hello me Hello everyone, isn't it?"

Looking at the bright smile on Andy Smith's face full of sunshine, he couldn't help but think of his two sons who disappointed him, and he couldn't help sighing secretly, the gap!

This kid can be so brazen to trade this kind of scandal with scandal, and the way of bargaining because of unequal value has really reached the point of extreme mercenary.

"To be honest, boy, although I felt that I had already overestimated you before, today I realized that I still underestimated your shamelessness! Now I don't want to know what you like about News Corp., I Guess it must be that I don't care much about it, but it is very valuable to you, am I right?"

Andy didn't feel unhappy at all because of Murdoch's ridicule, the smile on his face was still bright, and he reached out to support the old guy very intimately when he walked through a snowdrift, and said with a chuckle.

"MySpace, the once-hot social networking site, has been squeezed out of its value by News Corp. Now with Facebook, a younger, thirstier, and smarter rival, it's okay to keep it in my hands. Is it continuous layoffs, losses, until it completely exits the market, and besides, aren't you looking for potential buyers?"

"Haha...Andy, are you kidding me? My MySpace is expanding globally, and this year's revenue is expected to reach $700 million,

You said that it will withdraw from the market? How much are you worth until now? 6-8 billion US dollars. . . "

Andy rolled his eyes directly, and replied with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Rupert, stop joking, do you really think that the valuation you shouted out in the potential equity swap agreement with Yahoo is the real value? Not to mention anyone else, not even Yahoo would sign this deal.

Since News Corporation’s parent company didn’t even ask the founding team of MySpace, and signed the $900 million search and advertising contract with Google, MySpace has started to decline. What happened to the market you piled up for a year last year? Isn't it still a loss? The monthly visits are still 76 million, and Facebook, do you know how much it is now? 54 million!

Now I am willing to bid 100 million US dollars to take over, and I can continue to perform the contract between you and Google, how about it? "

"Impossible!" Murdoch directly refused. Although he didn't have time to manage this social website, he also knew that last year was the peak period, and the advertising profits were considerable, especially the effect of various movie promotions. It is definitely a promotion Such a good platform, how could he sell it to Andy Smith for 100 million.

"Believe me, Rupert, you will regret this rejection today. Let alone 100 million, no one will take over even 50 million!"

Andy shook his head and sighed regretfully. He originally thought that he could get the MySpace website cheaply. If he did it properly, he might be able to take advantage of the first mover to seize half of the social market and share the same share with Facebook, but it seems that There is no more drama.

The MySpace website will also continue to fall into internal strife, confusion in management rights, loss of fighting spirit, and slowly sinking, until it is completely reduced by Facebook in market share, and it will decline.

"Hehe, maybe there will be such a day in the future, but it will never be now, will it? Tell me what you really want, I'm a little tired from walking!" Murdoch stood still with a cold expression, and looked at Ann with a faint smile. Dee said directly,

"Well, since the first proposal was rejected, I hope you don't reject me for my second proposal." Andy put his hands into his coat pockets and said leisurely.

"I want all 800 million dollars for the 8 local TV stations in Cleveland, Denver, St. Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Birmingham, and Memphis!"

"FXXK! You are robbing!" Murdoch's face darkened immediately, his eyelids twitched angrily, his expression became a little ferocious, and he didn't care if he was still maintaining his demeanor, and he swears directly.

"I know that you are negotiating a deal with a private investment company for 9 TV stations, and the current price is around 1.2 billion, but I think the price I offered is more appropriate, and you will agree to it, won't you?

Anyway, no matter whether it is 800 million or 1.1 billion, it will help you focus on the business opportunities opened up after the acquisition of Dow Jones for US$5.2 billion earlier, and use the "Wall Street Journal" brand to attract TV ratings and network traffic. We are a win-win, Rupert , don't reject me! "

"Don't think about it! Don't even think about threatening me. You are blackmailing, shameless blackmailing. I refuse. If you want 1 billion dollars, it is my biggest concession! I will not be blackmailed by you..."

"Rupert, believe me, I am very sincere, 800 million US dollars, there is only so much, no one would want things to develop in an uncontrollable direction, I think the gift I gave you is enough to make up for the difference."

"Shet! No one can threaten me, no one! If you think this will make me surrender, you are dreaming!"

Andy still gritted his teeth with a smile on his face, stared at the old guy who was cursing him angrily, turned away angrily, curled his lips involuntarily, and waved his hand to the distance, Quickly stopped in front of him, bent down and got into the car.

"The talk broke down?"

Andy smiled and looked sideways at Li Xiaoying's puffy face and said, "It's almost succeeded, the old guy is very angry, but he has no choice, he doesn't dare to bet on the lethality of the evidence in my hand and my lethality." addition!"

"What did you blackmail?" Li Xiaoying was a little terrified by a pair of green wolf eyes, she moved unnaturally to the other side, and quickly asked questions to distract the attention of the little bastard in front of her.

"It's a fair deal, 800 million dollars to buy his eight TV stations... Emily, what kind of chun ointment do you use, can you let me taste it?"

"Get lost! You think you are Jia Baoyu!"

Li Xiaoying stretched out her hand coquettishly and directly pushed away the big face that was approaching, and scolded, seeing Andy no longer playing tricks, then said: "With the addition of these eight TV stations, AMC's cable TV network can almost be completed. ?”

"Well, including the original 52 local TV stations, there are already 60. Although the wireless TV network cannot be established, the cable TV network is no problem. AMC is no longer just a cable channel!"

Andy has great ambitions for establishing a TV network and increasing his influence and voice in the media industry. Just a channel that broadcasts old movies and a few classic TV series cannot satisfy Andy's ambitions at all.

Back in the hotel, someone sent Andy a file bag soon, and Andy didn't let the visitor go away empty-handed, he also found a file bag, threw a USB flash drive into it, and handed it over to the hotel. other side.

Holding the file bag, Andy walked into the office area with a look of curiosity, sat on the boss's chair, opened the file bag, and took out the photos and two documents inside.

"cut!"

Before I saw it, Andy thought there was some explosive content, and worried that several of his women would be exposed. After seeing the photo, he couldn't help but cut it. It turned out that he and Ivana were messing around in the living room last time. Several photos from clearer angles were taken by tou.

"Tsk tsk, I kind of miss Ivana's mouth..."

Andy looked at the picture of Ivana sitting on the carpet and bathing his little Andy on the sofa, and couldn't help but start to miss it.

Well, if these photos were published, it would be very troublesome. In the Internet age, it would spread rapidly to the whole world, and they would often be used to disgust themselves and Ivana.

Thinking of this, Andy reached into the file bag to search, and sure enough, he found a memory card. He was not afraid that the old fox Murdoch would play backup with him.

Picking up those two documents, Andy's pupils shrank involuntarily. This is a copy of the contract for two changes in ownership of the Australian manor, even though Andy bought the manor in the name of an offshore company, and finally transferred it to Even Charlize Theron is still unable to withstand the investigation of interested people.

Taking out the memory card, Andy found a card reader, turned on the laptop, plugged it in and started viewing the contents.

There are two folders, one is his and Ivana's, and the other one is opened, and it is full of blurred photos of Sai Huang taken by TOU with a high-power lens, but the pregnant figure and bulging belly can be seen very clearly.

Fortunately, there is no photo of him and Emperor Serbia together, but the old fox gave him the photo directly, telling him that the old fox was sure that the child in Emperor Serbia's belly belonged to Andy Smith.

Andy couldn't help sneering as he looked at the two copies of the change of property rights of the manor.
