Chapter 1052: Prevention is better than prevention
This small vault has a security level above the large one, and only Ronan can open it, and it stores extremely important information.
Video footage, to be exact.
Jessica Felton also had a woman's curiosity and looked at Ronan: "Can you ask what is in it?"
Ronan didn't want to deceive Jessica Felton from the bottom of his heart, but he subconsciously wanted to tell a white lie, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Jessica Felton knows Ronan very well and finds Ronan unexpectedly a little embarrassed.
Not much, but someone like her, who has an unusually close relationship, can detect it.
Frankly, Jessica Felton is even more curious, because she knows what kind of person her boyfriend is, with a skin as thick as the load-bearing walls of the Relativity Building, and the entire management of Walt Disney is very open......
The contents of this vault can make Ronan feel embarrassed, it must be unusual.
But Jessica Felton is not an ordinary woman, let alone an impulsive and ignorant brain-dead girl who doesn't know anything but romantic love.
Too much curiosity is never a good thing for couples.
Jessica Felton didn't seem to notice the embarrassment that Ronan was fleeting, and said, "It's a little shady and uncomfortable underground, let's go up." β
Ronan pulled her up and walked back, saying, "Okay, let's go back." β
Thinking of the video materials in the vault, Ronan felt that he should let them stay in there forever and never see the light of day again.
As for taking it out and appreciating it together, this unreliable idea, he wouldn't even think about it.
Back in the large living room on the first floor, the kitchen was ready for dinner, and tonight's meal style was on the Chinese side, Jessica Filton was not very used to it, so she ate a little casually.
After dinner, Ronan called Jessica Felton, and then Nikia and Finch, and went into the reception room together.
"Remember what I told you some time ago?" Ronan said to Jessica Felton, "As you can see, you may have faced a lot of reporters or other troubles lately, and I asked Finch to find you two security assistants. β
Jessica Filton had heard Ronan talk about it a long time ago, and she knew exactly where she was now, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse: "Okay, but their work needs to be at my pace." β
Finch continued, "Of course they'll have to get used to it." β
He made a phone call, and soon someone knocked on the door and came in.
These are two very ordinary-looking white women, probably in their early thirties, with more average appearance and brown hair, one named Anna and the other named Elsa.
After a polite exchange of pleasantries with Jessica Felton, the two quickly left the reception room.
"Don't neglect your own safety just because you have them, you have to pay more attention. Ronan knew very well that Jessica Felton would inevitably get involved in something when she came together with him, and emphatically stressed: "Jesse, I'm going to have some trouble outside the rules in the next few years, and some people might be playing tricks on you. β
Jessica Felton immediately asked with concern, "You're going to be fine, are you?"
Ronan shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, it's just some business matters." β
Jessica Felton didn't quite understand and wasn't reassured: "Why?"
The question covered a wide range of issues, and Ronan thought about it for a moment before saying, "In the last two years, Nikia occasionally found some people spying on the manor. Later, Finch also spotted someone sneaking up after me, and even someone posing as an AT&T telecom service engineer and appearing around a nearby communications converter. β
Ronan asked Finch for a moment, and Finch said simply, "From a security point of view, I have reason to suspect that someone wants to listen to the phone calls of the Future World Manor. β
Jessica Felton heard this, a little shocked, but calm, and asked, "Is there still any more?"
"We don't notice it yet. Finch was very cautious: "But this possibility is not ruled out." β
He further said: "Anna and Elsa will usually be by your side to provide you with security services, and if something unexpected happens, their opinion is important. β
Jessica Filton nodded: "I understand, they are experts. β
Ronan was relieved: "It's just a precaution, you don't have to worry too much, how it should be in normal times." β
Jessica Felton was not worried about Ronan: "How can this be? At your level, don't all games have rules?"
Ronan said calmly: "There are always people who don't follow the rules of the game. β
Thinking of what happened in the past, Ronan also has to admire, the people of the Murdoch family are not ordinarily bold, and it is not a little bit to cross the bottom line in doing things.
Jessica Felton is not a naΓ―ve ordinary person, so she naturally understands this truth, and her delicate face gradually becomes serious.
"You promise me!" she grabbed Ronan's hand, "You'll be safe!"
Ronan nodded slightly: "Don't worry, what they value is the assets in my hands." β
There are some things that he didn't say, didn't he value the assets in the other party's hands?
In this kind of thing, there is no one right or wrong, only who wins and who loses.
Jessica Felton put a little bit of a snack and knew that she couldn't help Ronan in this regard, so she didn't say anything more.
In the face of these situations, do the job at hand safely, ensure your own safety, and don't cause trouble, in Jessica Feldton's opinion, this is the least she has to do.
Ronan analyzed the situation from many aspects, and the two behemoths were already eyeing each other.
He doesn't have to complain that the other party uses extra-rule means, and the plan of relativistic entertainment is not much better.
This world is like this, it is one requirement for oneself and another requirement for others, and double standards are a common phenomenon.
The night sky in Los Angeles was full of stars, and Jessica Felton sat on a wicker chair on the patio, seemingly admiring the starry sky, but her mind was all on what Ronan said tonight.
What can make Ronan pay so much attention must not be an ordinary opponent, it must be a large company and a large group of the same magnitude as Relativity Entertainment.
Others can only see Ronan's beautiful side, and how many people can see the huge pressure Ronan is facing?
The higher the position, the greater the pressure.
Ronan came to the terrace with a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses, and when he saw Jessica Felton in a daze, he poured a glass of wine for each of them, and then asked, "What do you think, dear?" β
Jessica Filton came to her senses, picked up her glass, touched it with Ronan, and asked, "You're stressed, aren't you?"
"Pressure?" Ronan put down his glass and shook his head slowly, "It's not very big." β
Jessica Felton wasn't quite convinced: "Really?"
Ronan spread his hands and said, "Do you think I look like I'm under a lot of pressure?" and he laughed: "Even if Relativity Entertainment turns out to be someone else's, I'll still be a super-rich man, and I won't have to work as hard as I do now." β
"Will you give up? I don't believe it. Jessica Filton is well aware that Ronan is essentially a person with her: "The sweetness of watching a career develop step by step can be intoxicating and even addictive." β
Ronan got up and walked over to Jessica Felton and pulled her up, "Honey, I'm only addicted to you now!"
Jessica Felton's eyes widened: "You, ah, will say these nice things." β
The two had a very tacit understanding and went back to the bedroom together.
The night wind is sudden, the waves are turbulent, a wave has not subsided, and a wave is coming again, and the storm is raging in the vast night!
Since Ronan and James Murdoch reached the so-called tacit understanding, Relativity Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox have started negotiations on the rights related to "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four", but Shang has not reached an agreement on any aspect so far.
Although the two sides are continuing talks, they do not have much hope for the next consultations.
Meanwhile, after more than a month of waiting, Time Warner has issued a formal response to a merger offer from News Corp. and Twentieth Century Fox.
Time Warner announced that the proposed acquisition is not in the best interests of the company and its shareholders, and that Time Warner's strategic plan will create much higher value for the company than any acquisition proposal from any outsider, including News Corp and Twentieth Century Fox.
There is no doubt that Time Warner rejected the Murdoch family.
But feedback from all sides suggests that the Murdoch family is not giving up, and News Corp and Twentieth Century Fox are also mobilizing resources to continue preparing for the acquisition.
Time Warner's refusal did not stop the Murdoch family.
Being able to enter the United States from Australia in one fell swoop, the Murdoch family has no intention of giving up.
Relativity Entertainment is also stepping up some preparations, and the business visit team led by a vice president of the group accepted the invitation of Lin Jian and Qianlu Group to officially visit the East.
The two sides will further discuss cooperation in the film and television industry.
Ronan is very aware of the other party's ambition to build Oriental Hollywood, at least until encountering some irresistible factors, Lin Jian's ideas and plans in this regard are very obvious, so he is more optimistic about the prospect of cooperation between the two sides.
On the other hand, Relativity Entertainment is also on contract with other companies in Hollywood.
The script of the project between Shahai Entertainment and Spielberg was officially completed, and the project abandoned the name of the original book and named it "Lincoln".
The name alone has a huge appeal for a considerable number of people.
In the past two years, Relativity Entertainment is destined to have a relationship with Lincoln, counting the one that Spielberg is going to direct, there have been three films in recent years in which Lincoln has the leading role.
The other two are Uwe Ball's "Lincoln the Vampire Slayer" and the B-movie mini-production "Lincoln vs. Zombies," which has just entered the preparatory period.
These are two very unserious Lincoln movies, but in the eyes of Hollywood and North American audiences, it is not a problem at all, and ridiculing and spoofing the current and previous presidents has always been a reserved program for the media and audiences.
