American Fortune Life

The next morning, Andy ate breakfast leisurely, flipped through the newspaper, and seemed not at all worried about the photos that Murdoch gave him, and he didn't even worry too much about the possible exposure of the Queen's pregnancy.

To be honest, the photo of him and Ivana has already been fired, not to mention the details are not so clear, compared to the photo of Mr. Chen in HK that he is looking at now, it is simply nothing.

Andy looked at the report on "The Sun" and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Now the fire has burned on Zhang Komazhi. This incident that will last for almost 10 years has completely changed the fate of several stars involved. .

The inspiration to Andy is that if you want to steal food in the future, you must be more cautious, and his precious video collections should be kept more strictly, and mobile phones and computers must not be used as storage devices. . .

As for the question of the emperor, I believe that old fox Murdoch has read the information he gave him, and he definitely knows what to do. Now the wiretapping incident is no longer a question of whether it can disappear, but whether it can be suppressed. It is no longer a question of continuing to expand and burning the fire to News Corporation.

The facts are already there, what Murdoch needs is to shut up Andy, the instigator who has more facts and can bring him more trouble, so that he has time to calm down the matter down.

Looking at the letter of apology published on the front page of "News of the World", Andy curled his lips, picked up the mobile phone on the table, chewed the delicious food, and said to the connected phone: "Withdraw the lawsuit."

Andy chose to withdraw the lawsuit after going to work in the London court in the morning. When Murdoch, who was in a meeting with his confidant in the hotel study, received the call, his wrinkled old face was not very happy, but his brows became more tangled.

"Have you found out, who betrayed the company?"

"Of all the journalists involved in that incident, the most suspected one is Sean Hall, who has a deep grudge with Rebecca Brooks. As early as last year, Sean Hall was interviewed by the New York Times and the BBC. During the interview, it was alleged that the former editor-in-chief of "News of the World" Coulsonsen knew about the tapped voicemail... "

Snapped!

"Bastard!" Murdoch slammed his face as black as ink on the table, roared in a low voice, and looked at the people in the study with cold eyes, "Why don't you fire him!"

"The main reason is that we have evidence in our hands. After Clive Goodman and Glenn Mackayle were imprisoned last year, we wanted to wait until the incident was forgotten before we deal with him. He has been drinking and abusing drugs for a long time, and his health is also declining. After accepting that interview and being warned by the company, he has been relatively low-key, and the former editor-in-chief Coulson has left, we.

. . "

"Then does he have evidence?" Murdoch's gaze became even colder, and he couldn't bear the extent of his young son's uselessness, especially the grievance he received from that little bastard Andy Smith yesterday. The gap is really too big Yes, people are deader than others!

"At the beginning, the police asked him to provide evidence, but he refused, so it is not clear whether he has any. He has always had some mental problems, and he was worried that he was in a hurry."

. . . . . .

Murdoch looked at the dodging eyes of his younger son, and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "Get out of my sight, immediately!"

Seeing his youngest son's back in a state of embarrassment, Murdoch shook his head helplessly, and looked at the other two disappointedly, "Brooks, you go back to London immediately, deal with the matter, guide the direction of public opinion, don't set fire to News Corporation, let All employees who have eavesdropped will shut up, and anyone who accepts an interview will be kicked out!"

Brooks, the chief executive of News International, is a high-ranking assistant to Murdoch and was also the editor-in-chief of "News of the World" when the little girl was hacked in 2002.

"I know what to do!" Brooks nodded solemnly, then turned and left the study.

"Xinton, I will leave the official affairs to you. The parliament, the police, let our friends move, Blair and Brown, I have already communicated with them."

"Well, boss, there is no need to worry about these things. I will take care of them. It's just that... Andy Smith is the biggest trouble! Now only his "Standard" and "London Evening Standard" are clinging to each other. Fleet Street A lot of people are on the sidelines and I worry that over time, the Guardian  …”

"I'll take care of the Andy Smith matter, Shet!" As he spoke, Murdoch remembered that shameless face again, and even used the most disgusting negotiating methods against him. As I said, this is a greedy and cunning hungry wolf!

At the same time, I have just attended a speech by the Prime Minister of the country on environmental protection, water resources and clean energy, announcing the establishment of a US$10 billion fund to fight global warming.

Andy is supportive and optimistic about the latest energy and carbon emission issues that governments around the world are paying attention to. After all, the negotiations with Tesla Electric Vehicle Company are coming to an end soon. When he returns to the United States this time, he will go to California. Tesla to conduct inspections and complete the final transaction.

"Emily, why do you keep avoiding me..." Andy looked at Li Xiaoying who was leaning against the car window, rolled his eyes angrily and complained.

"..." Li Xiaoying glanced at Andy with a mocking sneer on the corner of her mouth, then turned back to look at the scenery outside the car window again.

"Ahem..." Andy coughed in embarrassment. He was very touched by the game of taking advantage of Li Xiaoying - struggling and resisting, but when she saw that she was ignoring him, he hurriedly turned away. The topic asked: "How is the repair of my courtyard house? Don't spend so much money on me, I won't be able to live in it when I go to the capital!"

Li Xiaoying patted the paws stretching towards her tui in annoyance, and said in a cold voice: "Isn't there a Nan study room where you can carry your bags directly? More than 400 square meters is enough for you to live in, and it is also an antique building designed by the architect Zhang Kaiji." , the house and furniture are all made of gold silk, and it will be fine to live there when the time comes!"

"I'm asking about the set that was stolen from Mikhail..." Andy asked Li Xiaoying to search for good courtyard houses for him since he arrived in the capital last year.

It should be known that there are about 160,000 courtyard houses in Beijing, of which about 3,000 are owned by individuals and can be directly bought and sold. Among the 3,000 houses, 5%-10% of the courtyard houses can enter the market for trading, and more than 95% of them are difficult to enter the market due to property rights issues. In this way, there are only 150 courtyard houses that can actually be invested.

Some of the 150 buildings have good corners and are in short supply. And a courtyard house located in the Ya’er Hutong on the northern edge of Houhai and facing the lake, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters, came into Andy’s sight. Although it was dilapidated, it There is no problem with the property rights, and the price is more than 36,000 per square meter in the 2nd ring road, which is a good resource for Andy.

However, such a good resource is not without competitors. Mikhail, who ranks eighth on the Russian rich list, is also optimistic about this courtyard house, and the other party is one step ahead of him. Fortunately, the transaction was not finalized at that time. .

Because this Mikhail is a typical one, just when he was chic in France, he hadn’t come to look at the information given to him by his subordinates. The shameless Andy was also dealing with the Ace of Spades in France at the time, and he originally wanted to meet him We wanted to chat, but after finding someone to inquire about this person's personality, he directly denied this idea.

Then the French police received some tips, and soon the French police detained Mikhail Prokhorov on suspicion of mobilizing a crowd for rioting. . .

During this period, Li Xiaoying waited until the seller lost patience and the agreement period expired, and directly paid 120 million rabbit national currency to buy this large courtyard house near the lake in Houhai.

To be honest, although Andy did this without anyone noticing, it was quite speechless.

He firmly denied the charges, and Mikhail, who was later withdrawn by the French police, was really disgusted. Although he found out afterwards that a real estate investment in Beijing had failed, he didn't react much. At worst, he just bought something else. He couldn't think of it. Some people use this trick to disgust people in order to buy a house.

In this regard, Andy has no psychological burden at all. You must know that the housing price in Tianchao Capital is the only safest investment in the world that can rise in value, let alone the courtyard house in the 2nd Ring Road, which can earn more than ten times the profit. So worth it.

As for Li Xiaoying, who was doing these things for Andy, she was speechless when she heard about it.

"The building is being closed. According to your requirements, the masters of the Beijing School took over the decoration, carving, and painting of the courtyard. The main body is outsourced. The materials are all native wood from the tropical rainforest in Thailand. In addition to the basement, there is also the swimming pool you requested. . .”

"Very good, I'll leave it to you, I don't worry..." Andy smiled with satisfaction. At this moment, the mobile phone in his coat pocket rang, and when he took it out to look at it, the smile on Andy's face became even brighter. , raised an eyebrow at Li Xiaoying and picked it up directly.

"Good morning, Rupert, what can I do for you..."

Listening to Andy's relaxed tone on the phone, Murdoch could fully imagine the proud face of this little bastard, and couldn't help but feel the urge to drop the phone. Finally, he took a deep breath and said directly: "Let your people Contact News Corp!"

"Thanks..."

Andy listened to the busy tone from the mobile phone, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and he looked at Li Xiaoying unhappily and said, "This old guy is really rude, I haven't said a few words of thanks yet..."

"..." A black line appeared on Li Xiaoying's forehead, she turned her head and didn't want to see Andy's smug face, looking at the scenery outside the car window, she had a strange idea in her heart, Can you really survive such a shameless guy?
