Chapter 905: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

The opening ceremony of the Davos summit ended with a round of applause, and when the meeting ended, everyone left the venue in an orderly manner, with 2,500 participants, although noisy, but not chaotic.

"Andy, as soon as you arrived in the morning, you directly stole all the attention. ”

Andy smiled and shook hands with Soros, an old fox who was surrounded by several smiling middle-aged people.

"I don't want to steal any limelight, it's just the right time, and besides, your remarks are strong enough, and I'm just carrying out my own opinions. ”

Hearing Andy's answer, Soros didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "The executives of Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, and UBS who were originally scheduled to participate in this forum canceled their trip to Davos at the last minute one after another and stayed in the company to deal with the crisis, and Paulson and British Finance Minister Dahlin also gave up this trip. ”

Andy smiled and nodded, he didn't refuse, he also wanted to hear what this controversial hedge predator had to say, but just like that, they were not fools, they all wanted to make some money in this financial turmoil, and this old guy often made some sensational remarks because of profit.

In fact, in Andy's view, whether it is him, Soros, or other financial experts, such as economists, and other financial experts, when it is impossible to distinguish whether these people are motivated by morality or good intentions for the global economy, his account will speak for itself.

However, in view of Soros's "evil deeds", many people equate him with disaster and speculation, and in the United Kingdom, he has always had the title of "Bank of England saboteur", so when he predicted this morning that the British economy would enter a recession, the British media did not forget to remind readers: "This man is talking again!"

Andy Smith, who also took a hard bite of the British stock market last year, is also not treated well by some people in the UK, but Andy has his media to help him whitewash, as well as Tottenham Hotspur Club, which has always been in third place in the league, to a large extent, offsetting some negative impressions, after all, Andy did not siphon off the money he earned, but continued to invest in the UK.

The two big bears walked together talking and laughing, and immediately became the object of pursuit by the media in the entire summit venue, and the media circled around, slamming and asking various questions at the same time, hoping to get some good news materials.

。。。。。。

"Mr. Smith, I'm a reporter for The Times... ”

When Andy heard that it was Murdoch's newspaper, he didn't bother to look at the other party, let alone answer the questions raised by the other party, and continued to walk forward with a smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard.

"Mr. Smith, I'm a reporter from Reuters, and I want to ask, what do you think about the bailouts that governments have taken to intervene in the market to prevent the risk of financial crises?"

Andy glanced at the other party and smiled indifferently: "Once the crisis occurs, the authorities must intervene. The best moment to intervene is before the crisis spreads, otherwise it will be too late. The question is, like the Fed's rate cut yesterday, how much more can it go to lower interest rates?

Last year, I asked my newspaper to warn Washington and the Federal Reserve, but no one cared, but it caused a lot of criticism, and now, it's too late, the 60-year bull market in global stock markets is over, and this is not an "intermission". ”

"Mr. Smith, I'm the Washington Post... Can you give you an interview?

"I'm the new TU company... Can I give you an interview?"

。。。。。。

The reporters at the scene heard Andy, the eldest young master, finally respond, and immediately began to report to their families, hoping to be lucky enough to get an opportunity for an interview, after all, this Davos summit, the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis is a hot spot, and Andy Smith, the youngest billionaire who participated in Davos for the first time, is also a highly sought-after hot figure.

"Next, I will participate in debates and brainstorming forums, if you have any questions, ask them at that time, as for the interview, you can apply to see it, maybe I will have time... ”

Andy smiled lightly and blinked his big eyes, with an expression of maybe you can really get an interview, so that a group of reporters collectively rolled their eyes, others are eager to get an interview with the big media, this is good, it's completely upside down, but no one cares about these, who makes the family not only rich but also handsome, still young or a global celebrity, offending him has no good results, didn't you see the reporters of the "Times" have black faces?

He was directly ignored by Andy Smith, a bastard who received news from London and knew that "News of the World" was on the iron plate, but he didn't expect Andy to directly anger the entire News Corp., completely ignoring it.

Nima, we at The Times are serious newspapers, not tabloids!

Andy doesn't care whether it's a big newspaper or a tabloid, he ignores and refuses to be a News Corp.!

He wouldn't believe that old Murdoch wouldn't know that his tabloid was targeting him, and maybe it was this old guy who benefited!

"Hmph, wait, old fox, you're not in the mood for a meeting here tomorrow!"

After arriving in London this time, Simon Garner arranged for Simon Garner to track down the 13-year-old missing girl Millie Dowler's mobile phone incident, and at the same time, a big fish was caught in the process of investigation.

Because of the relationship between Ivana and Wendy Murdoch, as well as News Corp's influence in the world, Andy finally decided to suppress Millie Dowler's affairs first, eavesdropping on celebrities, the royal family and other behaviors, and it will not give News Corp a fatal blow, but once Millie Dowler's matter comes out, News Corp will definitely usher in big trouble, and his Andy Smith and News Corp's grudge will be completely solid, tear his face, and never die, which is not what Andy wants.

What Andy wants is for the old fellow Murdoch to restrain himself a little, to let his minions of his group of puppies be taken back, and let the other party go until he has the evidence to bring him down.

Most of the British public believes that the phone tapping scandal only involves the royal family, celebrities, sports stars and politicians, and many people read the news with the excitement of watching the excitement, after all, these "victims" seem to have some ability to fight the tabloids.

But letting the public know that News Corp eavesdropping targets are ordinary people, even victims, then the severity of this is even more serious, and it will definitely cause outrage throughout the UK.

In that way, Andy is relieved, Murdoch will definitely be unlucky, but it can't cure the other party to death, but there will be one more enemy who never dies, and he is also a world-class media tycoon, you must know that Andy's pigu is very dirty, and it can't stand up to worry, so knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, trading is a wise choice.

Besides, throwing out a controversial news can also deflect the scandal between him and Cheryl, and at the same time increase the sales of "Du Libao".

When Andy was having dinner with the bigwigs at Davos and bragging at the forum, the next morning in London, the front page of the "Du Libao" headline "News Corp.'s Watergate scandal?" completely detonated the whole of Britain, and even Europe and North America.

According to the report, Jonathan Reese, a private investigator who works for the News of the World and the Mirror, has repeatedly wiretapped the phone and mobile phone recordings of the prince's current girlfriend Kate, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Earls of Essex, former Labour cabinet ministers Jack Straw, Peter Mandelson, movie star Sienna Miller, and even former London Police Chief Sir Stevens.

The report details how this unscrupulous private detective who wants to gain the privacy of celebrities is how he eavesdrops on the people he wants for News of the World and The Mirror.

For example, taking photos of some London officials, blackmailing them to provide him with secret information, hiring thieves to steal some public figures' materials for newspapers, hiring professional "rhetoricists" to extract the privacy of public figures from tax authorities, transportation departments, banks, telecommunications operators, etc., and then selling them to newspapers, etc.

The report of "Du Libao" was undoubtedly not very calm in the past, and a large-yield zha bomb was thrown into the lake under the clouds of economic crisis, which completely detonated the already tense heartstrings of the whole Britain.

All of a sudden, all the media focus was on London's Fleet Street, and at the same time, Andy Smith's legal team formally filed an indictment in the London court, accusing the News of the World of illegally obtaining personal privacy.

Everyone is a little dumbfounded, many people in the UK, including the reporters and paparazzi on Fleet Street, know that "News of the World" was kicked to the iron plate because of the hype of Andy Smith and Cheryl's scandal, Andy Smith, a young billionaire, will definitely retaliate, but no one thought that the revenge would come so quickly, so violently and deadly, it was completely like a whole death.

In Cheryl's apartment in London, Cheryl and her mother, Joan, who were surrounded by paparazzi and reporters, watched in amazement at the gate of the News of the World newspaper office, surrounded by reporters, and constantly replaying the statements made by the chief lawyer of Andy Smith's legal team to the media.

"Honey, you and he really did the night before yesterday... ”

"Mom!"

。。。 Joan looked at her daughter Cheryl's somewhat embarrassed coquettishness and the flush that flashed on her rosy face, blinked a few times, and looked back at the intimate photo of Andy Smith and Cheryl in the bar on the TV screen, "This kid is a real man!"

Cheryl knew what her mother had discovered, her eyes flashed with a touch of panic, she walked to the window, lifted the curtains and looked out, sure enough, although there were still a few paparazzi, but there was no less, knowing that the media had been successfully diverted, she couldn't help but think of the scene of Andy holding her and tossing that day...
