That's it, it's almost time for me to leave, I'll have a date a little later.
After all the directors left, the two men in the conference room sat silently for a while before Adrian stood up.
oh?And that… Brooklyn Dayker?Claude asked after thinking about it.
No, it's something else. Christina Hendrix, like Brooklyn Daike, has a hot body, no, even more graceful and full of flesh.Adrian said with a smile.
Change two women a day?Claude raised his eyebrows in surprise. You are really interested. Although this is a very common time for you, I still... can't help but want to shake my head.
It's different. I got Brooklyn two days ago. Today I just called her to come to the conference room later.
Adrian blinked his eyes and smiled, I did this for you, Crow.
Claude made a middle finger without hesitation, and then asked again: Wait, I remember Christina Hendrix is not...
Yes, one of the main characters in Mad Men.
Adrian waved his hand. Although Fox bought it for a high price, I recommend her to star in it, not to mention that I am a super director.Besides, even without these, is it difficult for me to soak her in bed?
No wonder I can only have a daughter.Claude mumbled.
Adrian, who heard it very clearly, immediately narrowed his eyes: Do you feel that you have not been hurt by me?
Hey, I didn't say anything.Claude lifted up and cheated.
All right!Adrian smacked his lips. He heard that Helen was pregnant, and I believe that would be a girl.
It doesn't matter, as long as it's not.
Claude chuckled and waved his hand, and then quickly changed the subject. Speaking of which, although he successfully drove Fleming out, you also caused me some trouble, Ed.I bet Kahn will definitely look at me tight until you nominate another new executive director.
How is that possible!
Adrian laughed, and if he had not yet been awake after this incident, he would not be worthy of staying on the board.Frankly speaking, Kahn is very capable, but his ambition is a little bit bigger. Fleming took advantage of him after seeing this. With this lesson, at least for a long time, there is no need to worry about his little thoughts.
Well, no matter what, we have basically achieved our goal, although... Claude sighed.
Although everything seemed to be under control and they did plan a lot, in fact, many unexpected situations still occurred.
The most typical example is the video of the cleaner. After investigation, the guy was indeed taken by luck, so this was indeed an accident, and it directly disrupted Adrian and Claude's plan to lead the snake out of the hole.
Long before that, they had realized that there were problems within the company, such as the acquisition case that was sniped, the snatched "Mad Men" and so on.
These are all things they are determined to win, but they are all taken away by News Corporation, and they are all used to make use of their quarrels, cracks, and untimely reactions.
The timing is so good that it is absolutely impossible to say that the internal government has not informed them, so the first task is to catch this guy.
However, before they even started, they were destroyed by the cleaner's video and gave their opponents an excellent opportunity to discredit themselves.
Fortunately, at least one step Adrian and Claude went the right way, that is, to continue to maintain this mutual indifference, as if they had not yet reconciled, secretly collecting evidence and waiting for some people to jump out themselves.
Although the price you pay in this way will be a bit high, you can also deal with some restless guys, which is not worth the effort.
Fortunately, the final result is basically under control, although Adrian and Crowder were also quite surprised when they were determined to have connections with News Group, and Murdoch was really a big deal.
But it's good to just dig it out. And after this incident, even if AC Media cannot make it clear for various reasons, it's still okay to release the news in private. Fleming couldn't work in other companies again, and no one would hire such a person.
At the same time, he also hit AC Media's board of directors, which was a rewarding experience. Then... the two in the conference room exchanged glances, and everything was silent.
As AC Media’s board of directors made small adjustments, although rumors such as huge rifts were still circulating between the two founders and the shadow of financing failures did not fade, everything began to move in a direction that was beneficial to them.
This disappointed many people who wanted to watch a good show. It was so popular before, but in the end it was such an understatement, which was too regrettable except Rupert Murdoch.
As the person who directed this storm himself, Murdoch did not have much regret. He knew very well that doing and not doing it is different, and nothing will be 100% successful.
Besides, his goal has been achieved by more than half, and AC Media will not be able to expand within at least a few years.
If possible, Murdoch did not want to plot against AC Media in this way, it would be very unwise, but the current situation cannot be done.
If we want to choose the biggest enemy for News Corp., it is not Viacom, Time Warner, or Disney. News Corp.'s biggest enemy is AC Media.
In less than 20 years, the two young men achieved what it took him 30 years or even longer, and this is not the time he spent accumulating experience when he was young.
They can always accurately grasp the context of the times, make almost no mistakes, and firmly grasp the opportunities of the Internet. Several popular social networking sites are all from Adrian's ideas. Even the mainland market that is recognized as the most difficult to enter and even fails to return to failure, after giving up their TV route, they continue to expand and erode from the Internet and movies and other channels.
Many practitioners are jealous, and Murdoch is among them, but this is not the reason why he takes action.
As an old fox who has developed News Corporation to this day and has experienced great storms, he will not act emotionally in such major events.
The reason for taking action is that AC Media has expanded too quickly. 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 eroded and squeezed, it is an inevitable choice to curb them.
However, Adrian and Claude cooperated with each other and scored very well, which almost made people unable to find loopholes. Although Murdoch had already made a move, he still couldn't find too many opportunities.
This time, if the two hadn't had a disagreement over the listing and then had a quarrel, Murdoch might have to continue waiting. Because of this, what he wanted to do most was to squeeze Cloud out of AC Media.
Everyone knows that Adrian, although visionary and imaginative, only Claude can turn it all into reality.
If he can be squeezed out from AC Media, it will be like breaking one of AC Media's arm. Even if Adrian wakes up and gives up his face and invites him back, it is basically unlikely that he will work together like before.
Unfortunately, what they didn't expect was that they would reconcile soon, and then blind everyone and dug out Fleming. It was a pity. Murdoch gave enough benefits to win over the other party. There was no such thing as good, who would do it?
In addition, AC Media is not listed and has a complete industrial chain, which is semi-closed, so the blow it has not been particularly severe.
In fact, if possible, Murdoch really wants to wait until AC Media goes public before attacking.
But this is enough now. Although AC Media is still young compared to other media groups and still has problems in its foundation, it is already a huge monster.
Such a behemoth can only be suppressed and cannot be annexed or dismembered. Now, although it seems that AC Media has failed to raise funds and has promptly dug up the insider to adjust the board members, and has not hurt much, it will take a lot of time to settle the series of impacts that come with it.
Moreover, this time, many people have seen the sequelae of AC Media's rapid expansion. Some people will definitely want to start from within them. You must know that before Murdoch, many heads of media groups actually had this idea. The pressure brought by AC Media's rapid expansion is not only under the burden of News Group, but unfortunately, Murdoch only takes action. With this, News Group has the necessity to rank among the top three media groups.
Of course, after News Corporation took action, many people also participated, but did not say hello but cooperated tacitly. The overwhelming reports about the two of them could not be handled by News Corporation.
Similarly, there are people on Wall Street, otherwise AC Media's financing actions would not be so difficult, facing a lot of harsh conditions.
If Adrian and Claude were smart enough, all they had to do now was to shrink back and further consolidate their foundation. Before that, even if they wanted to expand, they had to take their time.
They should thank me.Murdoch was still somewhat proud when walking at the cocktail party.At least I told them the importance of the foundation.
He is indeed qualified to be able to cause such a stir within AC Media in one fell swoop and win time and opportunities for News Group.
Hey Rupert.
A voice of greeting came, and Lei Shidong's face, which seemed a little stiff due to skin graft, immediately appeared in front of Murdoch. Why is it that beautiful wife here alone?
Wendy doesn't like this kind of occasion.Murdoch smiled and pushed the glasses on his nose. He had just chatted with MP Field and I promised to support his environmental protection bill.
It's a surprise that you will support the Environmental Protection Act.Lei Shidong raised his eyebrows.
I always do the right thing.Murdoch spread his hands out.
The two old rivals started chatting with each other, and then they joined a few more people, including media and other industries, but they were all decent people.
Speaking of which, it seems that only one of the two AC Media came today.As we were chatting, someone suddenly mentioned this. Didn’t they say that there was nothing between them before?
Maybe one of them can’t come if you have something to do, maybe one of them just thinks this fundraising will be boring and don’t want to come. In fact, I feel a little bored.
Someone said jokingly, don't gloat, Bob.
That's right, they are not fools, will they continue to argue?
Lei Shidong also echoed, and glanced at Murdoch at the same time. The black hand of News Group is no secret between several large media groups.
Young people will always grow when they encounter setbacks.Murdoch replied with a smile.
Then, a voice inserted: I have learned a lot, for example, no matter how detailed the plan is, it may be interrupted by accident, or it may be bribed by others.
Then, Adrian, who was well-dressed in a wine glass, appeared in front of them. Murdoch's face changed slightly, Lei Shidong raised his eyebrows, while the others were a little unfair, after all, they were discussing him just now.
Hello, Ed, have you escaped from the busy business?The one who spoke to him before greeted him first.
Yes, it was not easy to take over half a month and finally get everything done.
Adrian's tone was filled with emotion. Because of this, I could finally free up my hands to do what I should have done.
oh?What's the matter?Someone asked curiously.
You know, compared to you, I am still a young man.Adrian smiled and glanced at Murdoch, so it was impossible to do things and think about the consequences forever.
Then, before people could make time, he turned to Murdoch and patted his shoulder hard with a smile: If you want a war, I will give you war, Rupert!
After saying that, he left without looking back. After watching his left-off look disappear after he put the cup in his hand on the tray of the waiter passing by and his leaving, Murdoch turned his head back, trying his best to control his surprise, and forced a smile: The young man now is really rude.
Then he left with a thoughtful expression regardless of others, including Lei Shidong.
That statement is not so much a threat, but a letter of declaration of war. Yes, Adrian declared war on News Corp. on behalf of AC Media.
Murdoch could not help but be shocked. You should know that it is only about three weeks before the previous board of directors. Adrian and Crowder at most straightened out internal and external affairs, and even if they want to retaliate, they should not be the present.
But in Adrian's tone, this is definitely not a joke. Since that's the case, either they can't lose face and force revenge to rebuild their prestige; or they have seized his unknown pain feet and are ready to give a fatal blow.
With Adrian and Claude's style, it is obviously not the previous one. Just a careful analysis will reveal that although they seem to be lucky, they always plan and act, so...
Then, Murdoch wanted to go back to his mansion, and even if he wanted to break his head, he could not be sure where they would launch an attack.
Even after calling the assistant and the people below and asking vaguely, he still couldn't figure it out.
Maybe they are really just intimidating?Murdoch, who was sleeping in a daze after tossing and turning on the bed several times, thought so.
However, he was soon awakened by the midnight phone ring: Boss, it's not good. The Guardian printed a special issue today, claiming that they had the actual evidence of eavesdropping in News of the World!
After all the directors left, the two men in the conference room sat silently for a while before Adrian stood up.
oh?And that… Brooklyn Dayker?Claude asked after thinking about it.
No, it's something else. Christina Hendrix, like Brooklyn Daike, has a hot body, no, even more graceful and full of flesh.Adrian said with a smile.

No wonder I can only have a daughter.Claude mumbled.
Adrian, who heard it very clearly, immediately narrowed his eyes: Do you feel that you have not been hurt by me?
Hey, I didn't say anything.Claude lifted up and cheated.
All right!Adrian smacked his lips. He heard that Helen was pregnant, and I believe that would be a girl.
