    "That's it. I'll leave now. I have an appointment a little later." After all the directors left, the two directors in the conference room sat in silence for a long time. Adrian then stood up.  got up.

    "Oh? And thatBrooklyn? Dai Ker?" Claude thought for a while and asked.

    "No, it's something else, Christina Hendricks, who has the same hot figure as Brooklyn Decker, no, even more plump, and a complete sex bomb." Adrian said with a smile.

    "Two women in one day?" Claude raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You are really interested. Although this is a normal time for you, I still can't help but want to shake my head.  "

    "It's different. I got Brooklyn two days ago. I just called her here today just to come to the conference room later." Adrian blinked with a smirk on his face, "I did it for you.  Yes, Crow."

    Without any hesitation, Claude showed his middle finger, and then thought of something and asked: "Wait, I remember Christina Hendricks isn't"

    "Yes, one of the main characters in "Mad Men"," Adrian waved his hand. "Although Fox paid a high price to buy it, I recommended her to play, not to mention I am a super director. Besides, even if she doesn't  After all this, is it difficult for me to get her into bed?"

    "No wonder I can only have daughters." Claude muttered.

    Adrian, who heard clearly, immediately narrowed his eyes: "Do you think you haven't been beaten by me yet?"

    "Hey, I didn't say anything." Claude raised his hand to show off.

    "Okay." Adrian smacked his lips, "I heard Helen is pregnant, I believe it will be a girl."

    "It doesn't matter, as long as it's not the same all the time," Claude chuckled and waved his hand, then quickly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, even though I successfully drove Fleming out, you also caused me some trouble.  Ed, I'll bet. Kahn is going to give me a hard time before you nominate a new executive director."

    "How is it possible?" Adrian laughed. "If he can't wake up after this incident, then he is not worthy of being on the board of directors. Frankly speaking, Kahn is very capable, but he is just a little ambitious.  A little older, Fleming also saw this and took advantage of him, and learned this lesson. At least for a long time, you don't have to worry about what little thoughts he has. "

    "Well, anyway. We have basically achieved our goal, although" Claude let out a long breath.

    Although everything seemed to be under control and they had indeed planned a lot, in fact many unexpected situations occurred.  The most typical example is the video of the cleaner. After investigation, it was found that the guy was indeed filmed by a stooge, so it was indeed an accident, and it directly disrupted Adrian and Claude's plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

    Long before this, they had already realized that there were problems within the company.  For example, acquisitions that were sniped, such as "Mad Men" that was snatched away, etc.  These were all things they were determined to get, but they were all snatched away by News Corporation, and they took advantage of their quarrels, rifts, and lack of timely response.

    The timing was so good, it must be said that they were not tipped off internally.  That's absolutely impossible, so the first priority is to catch this guy.  However, before they even started, they were spoiled by the cleaner's video.  And it gives the opponent an excellent opportunity to discredit himself.  Fortunately, at least Adrian and Claude took one step in the right direction, which was to continue to maintain this mutual indifference, as if they had not reconciled yet, secretly collecting evidence, and waiting for someone to jump out on their own.

    Although the price paid in this way will be a bit high, it can also deal with some restless guys, so it is not worth the loss.

    Fortunately, the final result is basically under control. Although Adrian and Crowder were quite surprised when it was first determined that Fleming was connected to News Corporation, Murdoch was really generous.  But as long as it is dug out, and after this incident, even if AC Media cannot clarify it for various reasons, it is still okay to release the news privately. Therefore, Fleming cannot work in other companies again. No one  Would hire such a person.

    At the same time, he also knocked on the board of directors of ac media, which was considered to have gained something. Then the two people in the conference room exchanged glances, and everything was understood.

    As the board of directors of ac media has made small-scale adjustments, although rumors of a huge rift between the two founders are still circulating, and the shadow of financing failure has not subsided, everything is beginning to develop in their favor.  .  This disappointed many people who wanted to see a good show. It was so loud before, but in the end it was such an understatement. It was tooSorry - except Rupert Murdoch.

    As someone who personally directed this turmoil, Murdoch does not have too many regrets. He knows very well that doing something and doing it are two different things, and nothing will be 100% successful.  Besides, he has achieved more than half of his goal, and AC Media will not be able to expand for at least a few years.

    If possible, Murdoch does not want to scheme against ac media in this way. It is very unwise, but the current situation cannot help him not to do so.  If you want to choose News Corporation's biggest enemy, it's not Viacom, it's not Time Warner, it's not Disney. News Corporation's biggest enemy is only AC Media.

    ¡°In less than 20 years, those two young men accomplished what it took him 30 years or more to achieve, and that¡¯s not counting the time he spent in his youth accumulating experience.  They always accurately grasp the context of the times, making few mistakes, and firmly seize the opportunities of the Internet. Several popular social networking sites are all from Adrian's ideas, even the ones recognized as the most difficult to enter.  Even in the mainland market where they themselves failed, they continued to expand and encroach on channels such as the Internet and movies after giving up the TV station route.

    Many people in the industry are jealous, including Murdoch, but this is not the reason why he took action.  As an old fox who single-handedly developed News Corporation to what it is today, he has gone through many ups and downs.  He would not act emotionally on such a big matter.  The reason for taking action is because ac media has expanded too fast. Even though it has slowed down in recent years, there is still a lot of room for development. If you don't want to be constantly cannibalized and squeezed, containing them is an inevitable choice.

    It¡¯s just that Adrian and Claude cooperated so well with each other that it was almost impossible to find any loopholes. Even though Murdoch had already made a move, he still couldn¡¯t find many opportunities.  this time.  If the two had not disagreed and quarreled over the listing, Murdoch would have had to wait. Because of this, what he wanted to do most was to squeeze Claude out of ac media.

    Everyone knows that although Adrian is visionary and imaginative, only Claude can turn it all into reality.  If he could be squeezed out of ac media, it would be like breaking an arm of ac media. Even if Adrian wakes up later and has the dignity to invite him back, he would like to work together as before.  Basically unlikely.

    Regrettably, what I didn¡¯t expect was that they would reconcile so quickly.  Then he deceived everyone and dug out Fleming - what a pity. Murdoch gave him enough benefits to win him over. Who would do this if there weren't enough benefits?  In addition, ac Media is not listed on the market and has a complete industrial chain, which is in a semi-closed state, so the blow it suffered was not particularly severe.

    Actually, if you can.  Murdoch really wants to wait until AC Media is listed before launching an attack.

    But this is enough now. Although ac media is still young compared to other media groups and still has fundamental problems, it is already a behemoth.  Such a behemoth can only be suppressed but cannot be annexed or dismembered, and now, although it seems that ac media has just failed in financing.  And they dug out the insider in time and adjusted the board members, which didn't cause much trouble, but it still took a lot of effort to deal with the series of consequences that followed.

    And this time also made many people see clearly the sequelae of ac media¡¯s rapid expansion.  There will definitely be people who want to start from within them - you know, many heads of media groups before Murdoch actually had this idea. The pressure brought by ac media's rapid expansion is not only borne by News Corporation.  It is a pity that only Murdoch took action. Based on this alone, News Corporation is inevitable to be among the top three media groups.

    Of course, when News Corporation took action, many people also joined in. They cooperated tacitly without saying hello. The overwhelming reports about the discord between the two could not be solved by News Corporation.  Similarly, there are people on Wall Street taking action, otherwise, ac media's financing operation would not be so difficult and face a lot of harsh conditions.

    If Adrian and Claude are smart enough, what they have to do now is to shrink back and further solidify their foundation. Before that, even if they want to expand, they have to do it slowly.

    They should thank me.  Murdoch, who was walking at the reception, was somewhat proud.  At least I told them the importance of foundation.

    He is indeed qualified to be proud of being able to create such a stir within AC Media in one fell swoop and win time and opportunities for News Corporation.

    "Hey, Rupert," the greeting voice came over, and Redstone's face, which looked a little stiff due to the skin graft, immediately appeared in front of Murdoch, "Why are you here alone, your beautiful  Isn¡¯t your wife coming too?¡±

    "Wendi doesn't like this kind of situation," Murdoch smiled and pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I just had a few words with Congressman Field, and I replied??Support his environmental protection bill.  "

    "It's surprising that you also support the Environmental Protection Bill." Lei Shidong raised his eyebrows.

    "I always do the right thing." Murdoch spread his hands.

    The two old rivals just chatted with each other, and then a few more people joined in, some from the media industry and some from other industries, but they were all decent people.

    "Speaking of which, it seems that only one of the two people from AC Media came today." While chatting, someone suddenly mentioned this, "Didn't they already say that they had nothing to do with each other before?"

    "Maybe one of them has something to do and can't come, maybe one of them just thinks this fund-raising reception is boring and doesn't want to come - in fact, I feel a little bored." Someone said jokingly, "Stop gloating, Bob."

    "Yes, they are not fools. Will they continue to quarrel?" Redstone also agreed, and glanced at Murdoch. The black hands of News Corporation are not a secret among several large media groups.  .

    "Young people will always grow when they encounter setbacks." Murdoch replied with a smile.

    Then, a voice intervened: "I did learn a lot. For example, no matter how detailed the plan is, it may be interrupted by accident, or it is inevitable to be bribed."

    Then, a well-dressed Adrian appeared in front of them, holding a wine glass. Murdoch's expression changed slightly, Redstone raised his eyebrows, and the others looked a little unsightly. After all, they were discussing him just now.  .

    "Hello, Ed, have you been freed from your busy affairs?" The person who spoke for him before said hello first.

    "Yes, it took me more than half a month to finally get everything done. It was not easy." Adrian said with emotion in his tone. "Because of this, I can finally free up my hands to do what I should have done."  matter."

    "Oh? What's going on?" someone asked curiously.

    "You know, compared to you, I am still a young man," Adrian smiled and glanced at Murdoch, "so it is impossible to always consider the consequences of doing things."

    Then, without waiting for people to make a decision, he turned to Murdoch and patted him hard on the shoulder with a smile: "You want war, I will give you war, Rupert!"

    After saying that, he left without looking back. After watching him put the cup in his hand on the passing waiter's tray and disappear, Murdoch turned his head back and tried his best to control his surprise.  With his emotions in mind, he forced a smile: "Young people today are so rude."

    Then regardless of others, including Lei Shidong, he left.

    Those words were more of a declaration of war than a threat. Yes, Adrian declared war on News Corporation on behalf of ac media.  Murdoch couldn't help but be shocked. You must know that it is only about three weeks since the previous board meeting. Adrian and Claude can at best straighten out their internal and external affairs. Even if they want to take revenge, it should not be now.

    But judging from Adrian's tone, this is definitely not a joke. In this case, either they can't lose face and are desperate to retaliate in order to re-establish their prestige; or they have seized on his unknown pain.  The feet are ready to deliver a fatal blow.

    With the style of Adrian and Claude, it is obviously not the former one. If you analyze it carefully, you will find that although they seem to be very lucky, they always make decisions before acting, so

    Then, Murdoch wanted to go all the way back to his mansion. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't determine where they would launch the attack.  Even after making several calls to his assistant and the people below him and asking some vague questions, he still couldn't figure it out.

    Maybe they are really just threatening?  Murdock thought as he turned over and over in bed several times before falling asleep.

    However, he was soon woken up by the phone ringing at midnight: "Boss, no, the Guardian has printed an additional issue today, claiming that they have obtained conclusive evidence of eavesdropping on the News of the World!"

    ps: Don¡¯t be surprised if there are 1,000 words less today. If there are 1,000 words less tomorrow, or even none at all, this is normal. Thank you.
