Chapter 948: Strong Acquisition

After knowing that the entire mercenary group had similar strength, Leonardo did not hesitate and immediately called the lawyer over to draft the contract. The price of $1 million a month asks the entire mercenary group to serve themselves and protect the safety of everyone in the crew.

It sounded like a lot of money, but when he thought about it, he would have to pay more if he hadn't asked them, and Leonardo's heart was much more balanced. And he also wants to take a closer look at what a real mercenary looks like, and what kind of living environment it is, in case he takes on the role of a mercenary in the future?

After negotiating with the mercenary group, Leila also has her own plans.

Mercenaries need to be found, and regular official cooperation must also be contacted. With official protection, there will be some deterrence, and the bosses will have to be a little taboo.

Even if it can have a role, with the mercenaries and the bodyguards sent by his side, it should be able to make this trip smoother.

In terms of contacting the South African government, Leila felt that it was better for her grandfather to take the lead. Where is her age, in the eyes of many people, she is still a little girl. My grandfather's connections and influence are greater than my own, so when don't I use it at this time?

In fact, she underestimated her influence a little, and even if she went to contact South Africa in person, she would be most warmly welcomed. Don't look at her profession as a director, any profession that is extreme will have an influence beyond her profession, whether it is a singer or a movie star, or a writer, or even a pilot, a driver, or a policeman. It can be said that as long as your profession reaches the world's top level, it will be a respected level in the world.

Hollywood's big directors are no weaker than media tycoons like Oswald in the eyes of many people. Leila rarely socializes outside and has had little experience in her previous life, so it's no surprise that she is unaware of her influence.

The old man was in a good mood during this time, and his granddaughter showed her face greatly in the live broadcast to the world at the Oscars, and made a career that could make him brag about it in the circle of friends for a year. For an old man like him, what could make them prouder than seeing future generations prosper?

So when Leila asked him for Murdoch's handle, he directly took over the matter of cleaning up the New York Post. And this time his granddaughter has something to ask him for, which shows that he, who is a grandfather, is a trustworthy existence in his granddaughter's heart, and it will make him happy when he thinks about it.

Compared with his granddaughter who rushed forward tirelessly but never remembered to use the family to build momentum, the old man hoped that he could be more relied on by her.

So after receiving the request, the old man immediately called the White House.

That's right...... It's the White House! The old man is much more likely to take advantage of it than Leila. He spends so much money to support the Republican Party every time, how can he not let them do something that involves the national level?

It's another election year, and media groups like Moran are the most popular and valued. Even if the old man didn't call, he might come over and take over the matter by himself when he heard the relevant news.

The old man thought very clearly, in the eyes of many countries, the United States is a bully, and whoever is not satisfied will lean the aircraft carrier fleet to the door of the house and turn around twice. Therefore, it is best for the U.S. government to come forward and communicate about this matter. A request with a strong threat, or a request with a low brow and a pleasing eye, which is more effective

Needless to say.

After receiving such news, the US officials are of course happy to help. On the one hand, you can gain the friendship of a media tycoon, on the other hand, you can show the authority of a great power, and you can also show your face in front of the voters. You must know that this year's Oscars have made Leila's fame soar a lot higher than before, and it can do her a favor, which is absolutely beneficial to promoting government work.

When Leila received contact from the White House, she learned that her grandfather had done something that seemed unthinkable to her. If you have money, you must be an uncle!

If you want to call the White House instead of a person with no money, it is estimated that you will either be directly hung up as a prank, or you will be invited to the security department for tea, right?

With the government coming forward to communicate directly with the South African government, Leila finally lowered half of her hanging heart, and the other half is estimated to go to South Africa, and she will let go of everything when she sees that everything is normal.

Safety was assured, and the supporting roles were decided by Louise. Because I was going to shoot abroad, I had to ask if they were willing before signing the contract. Of course, basically no one will quit the movie because of this.

After all, South Africa is not a chaotic place, even much better than the surrounding African countries, and the media is full of reports that the government is helping Leila communicate with South Africa to ensure the safety of the crew, what else do the actors have to worry about? Even if there is danger, I believe that no one will be willing to give up this opportunity.

This is a film with Lyra, and the various topics she created at the Oscars have not faded from the heat, and being able to work with such a director is an opportunity that no one wants to lose.

Just when the preparations were almost complete, an exposé news caused an uproar in the media, and it was something related to Leila. Someone broke the news that the New York Post was acquired, and the acquirer was the old rival Moran Media!

Seeing this news, many people's first feeling is not to believe it.

Don't be kidding, okay? These two have always been competitors, how could they suddenly sell such a big property to their rivals? Murdoch doesn't look like they have no money, and even if the Moran family has the money to buy it, what kind of newspaper they want to buy can't do it, they have to buy the old rival's house so expensive?

The whistleblower gave a specious answer, pointing directly to the New York Post's attack on Leila after the Oscars. The implication in the words was that because old Moran couldn't see the post and bullied his granddaughter, he simply bought the newspaper in a fit of anger.

Layla laughed when she saw the revelations that had been brought to her. In order to criticize herself in the newspaper, her grandfather bought other people's newspapers, and she didn't believe it!

That's the New York Post! They didn't stand on the same line with her. The only time I bragged about her was to use the media hype to fire her possibility of winning the award.

If my grandfather was going to buy because they were dealing with her, he would have started the acquisition a long time ago, so why did he not do it until now?

She thought so, and was also amused by the revelations, and she also called her grandfather about it.

But her grandfather's words made her dumbfounded at that time.

"Yes, I did buy it. ”
