My Age of Investment

One thousand six hundred and seven, eavesdropping

"Father, this Jay Rockefeller is simply a mad dog, and he keeps biting us.

I'm afraid that if he continues to make trouble like this, the United States will really launch an investigation against us. "

James Murdoch walked into the study of his father Murdoch Sr. with a frosty face, and brought a very bad news to the old man who was reading.

"Jay Rockefeller?"

Hearing this name, Old Murdoch decisively closed the book in his hand, took the document handed over by his son, and looked at it carefully.

Looking at the dazzling title, old Murdoch's originally calm heart quickly sank.

This is a strongly worded statement from across the Atlantic!

Sent by Senator Jay Rockefeller, Chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.

From this name, you can tell that this is a congressman from a well-known family, coming from the famous Rockefeller family.

After reading the document quickly, Murdoch lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked his son: "Have we done anything to offend the Rockefeller family? Probably not?"

"Yes, Father, I can't think of any way in which the Murdoch family offended the Rockefeller family."

"Since we have nothing to offend them, why are they targeting the Murdoch family?"

James Murdoch shook his head, as confused as his father.

Murdoch Sr. did not ask his son again, but lowered his head and looked at the document in his hand again, and said: "This statement publicly issued by Jay Rockefeller mentioned News Corporation headquartered in New York by name.

He said that if News Corporation is found to be conducting eavesdropping activities similar to those in the United Kingdom in the United States, especially those involved or other Americans, then it will face serious consequences.

At the same time, he also encouraged relevant agencies to investigate all media owned by News Corporation to ensure that Americans' privacy rights have not been violated. "

Having said this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on old Murdoch's face, and his sagging facial skin suddenly showed countless folds, which looked quite scary.

"There is no doubt that this is an attempt to take advantage of the situation!"

Old Murdoch looked at his son and said sarcastically: "These big families and big plutocrats who claim to be famous are civilized people and philanthropists on the surface, but secretly they are demons who eat people without spitting out their bones.

Once you reveal your flaw, those blood-sucking creatures with horns on their heads will flap their black wings, fly in front of you, and threaten you. You can either take the initiative and stretch out your arms to bite them, or you can just wait. His throat was bitten by them passively. "

"You mean, no matter what, we are going to bleed this time?"

Old Murdoch looked at his son with relief, nodded and said: "Yes, remember, there is no love or hate for no reason in this world, only interests are eternal.

The Rockefeller family won't just sit around and cause trouble for us. They must have made up their mind to blackmail us after seeing how troubled we have been recently. "

After all, James Murdoch was young. When he heard this, he said angrily: "Are we just going to watch without fighting back and let them blackmail us?"

Old Murdoch waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't dwell on this issue. At this stage, focus on the overall situation. You know how serious the situation is. We really can't allow any more chaos in the United States."

James Murdoch moved his lips, wanting to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

"Don't worry about this. I will arrange for lobbyists to contact Jay Rockefeller as soon as possible to see how big his appetite is.

If he gives up when he sees fit, that would naturally be the best; if he doesn't know how to flatter us and touches our bottom line, then I won't make any concessions.

The Murdoch family has made it this far because of punches and kicks, not by evasion. "

James Murdoch nodded heavily, very satisfied with his father's attitude.

With the Murdoch family's decades of management in the Five Eyes Alliance, even if they are facing a wealthy family like Rockefeller, they don't have to make too many concessions.

These days, who doesn’t have a relationship?

In terms of the relationship network with the British alone, the old Mo family who controls public opinion is better than the old Luo family who has been diamond oil in the United States.

“On the U.S. side, let’s just wait and see what happens and don’t invest too much energy.

What really worries me is the UK.

If one thing goes wrong, the Murdoch family's century-old legacy will be ruined. "

Old Murdoch looked out the window with a solemn expression. At this moment, the gloomy sky in London was like the dark cloud hanging over News Corporation. No one knew whether it would be a violent storm or a clearing of the sun in the next second.

"Father, don't worry too much. Kaxiang will definitely be on our side. No matter how bad the situation is, it won't get any worse."

Unlike his son's optimism, Murdoch shook his head indifferently, "This time is different from any eavesdropping scandal that has broken out before. It really caused public outrage.

The royal family, politicians, celebrities, and the people are all hostile to us.

As for our partners, the card picture in your mouth may draw a clear line with us at any time. "

"If he is so shameless, who will support him in the future? We must know that he was elected in the first place because of our great efforts."

Murdoch sneered: "Never overestimate the integrity of a political animal, they are the best at weighing the pros and cons.

At this stage, we can only save ourselves. "

"How to save yourself?" James Murdoch asked.

"Concentrate on the upcoming hearing first! This is a battlefield without smoke, and it is also the best stage for us to get out of the crisis."

At this time, Murdoch already had some immature ideas to break the situation. He did not reveal it to his son for the time being and decided to improve it by himself.

"Haha, okay, good job!"

A series of laughter resounded throughout the office, and Xia Jingxing felt as cool as eating an ice cream cone on a hot summer day.

Years of feud are about to come to an end! Is there anything more joyful than this?

Holding the phone tightly, Xia Jingxing explained to the bangs on the other end of the phone: "This is just the beginning. Don't let go of any opportunity to attack News Corporation.

I think the suggestion put forward on the Internet to spin off News Corporation is very suitable.

Taking away the old Murdoch's hegemony of public opinion is equivalent to destroying his tool for evil. Only in this way will the media environment become clean and pure. "

Liu Hai felt that his boss was a little too happy. News Corporation's connections in the Five Eyes Alliance were deeply rooted and could not be destroyed so easily.

Even if we unite several powerful consortiums to attack together, it may not be so easy to tear apart the entire News Corporation.

So the bangs quickly started pouring cold water on them.

Faced with Liu Hai's reminder and admonishment, Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "Normally, your idea is right, an industry giant cannot be shaken so easily.

But when you look at it from another angle, if everyone is holding the idea that it is better to wait for others to finish, and then go in slowly to pick up the bargain, then this matter will always become a problem. No, we can only waste the opportunity and watch News Corporation survive the crisis safely without doing anything.

Once the opportunity is missed and News Corporation turns the corner, the rest of the team will not end up in trouble. "

"So, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that we must dare to be the first in the world, be the first to attack News Corporation, and hit old Murdoch with hemiplegia first. When other people see this, they will inevitably add insult to injury.

To take a step back, even if our plan is not completed satisfactorily, as long as it can cause some trauma to News Corporation, such as selling the annoying Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones, it is not nothing. "

"If there are dates or not, how about a shot first?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Didn't old Murdoch always like to find fault with me in the past? I always kept a small notebook and wrote it down, and this time I returned it to him."

"Okay! It seems that I have to contact a few media tycoons. They are worried about those high-quality assets of News Corporation for more than a day or two."

"Yes, according to this idea, we do not seek any assets of News Corporation, but give them all to divide up. At the same time, we also bring our own dry food to help them run News Corporation."
