Even around the world, Wei Xiong and Princess Diana's procrastination is a big news that can make headlines in major mainstream media.
Or an entertainment version, or a current affairs version.
After the British media revealed the tryst between Wei Xiong and Diana at the hotel on December 23, journalists from all over the world flocked to London.
24 hours a day, a large number of reporters squatted outside the hotel.
In the following days, Wei Xiong went out every day, either to inspect his company in the United Kingdom or to meet friends.
Among them are the rich and the politicians.
But Diana was nowhere to be seen.
So far, the so-called patting is only a one-sided report by the media, and there is no evidence that can be conclusive, but the parties have not denied it.
That in itself speaks volumes.
And Diana entered the hotel that day, many people saw it, although it was tightly wrapped, but those who knew her well could already recognize her.
Moreover, there were reporters squatting outside Diana's residence.
In the past few days, except for the maids, there has been no trace of Diana, which is only two possibilities, Diana stayed at home and did not go out.
Or maybe Diana wasn't at home at all.
Not stepping out of the house for several days in a row? This is obviously unlikely, and it is not in line with Diana's habits. So it should be the latter.
That is, Diana is not at home at all!
Considering the above points, Diana is still 99% still in the hotel.
At this moment, the "Independent" exposed a blockbuster news - bravely pursuing love, Hong Kong may become Diana's home!
According to the report,
They were informed by people familiar with the matter that Princess Diana will move to Hong Kong in the near future, and that Prince William and Harry will also go with her.
As soon as this revelation came out, it immediately detonated public opinion.
Princess Diana will move to Hong Kong?
Whether the revelations are true or not cannot be confirmed for the time being, and if it is true, it raises another question: Diana simply moved to Hong Kong,
Or do you want to live directly in Bronze Sparrow Villa?
If it's the latter, then the relationship between Diana and Wei Xiong is obviously more than just a pat. To put it bluntly, it has reached the point of talking about marriage.
However, this is not the point of this revelation.
The real point is that Prince William and Prince Harry will also move to Hong Kong together. You must know that Prince William is the future king of England.
Now that he wants to grow up in his stepfather's house, can the royal family agree?
Wei Xiong held a copy of the Daily Mail in his hand, quickly skimmed through the relevant reports, and then handed the newspaper to Diana on the side.
smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Diana put down the newspaper in her hand and showed it to the Daily Mail, and only put down the newspaper after a while: "The main thing is to see the lively mentality." ”
Wei Xiong nodded.
As long as there is no large-scale opposition from the British media and public opinion, whether the royal family agrees or not is not very concerned about Wei Xiong.
Public opinion is the most powerful weapon of modern times.
In other words, the revelations of "The Independent" were actually revealed by him. The purpose is mainly for the reaction of the royal family and the direction of public opinion.
In fact, this is not suitable for this at this stage.
Therefore, his relationship with Diana was basically confirmed, and he had just accepted the canonization of the royal family two days ago, so he should have been deposited for a while.
When this wave of public opinion has passed, it should be done again.
But Wei Xiong is a troublesome person.
Since it will be disturbed by public opinion at that time, it is better to complete it all at once. As for why he chose to reveal it to The Independent.
And the previous report of the Independent was clearly biased?
The reason is simple.
Merriam-Webster Media is in takeover talks with The Independent, and it has been confirmed that Merryso-Webster Media will acquire a 51% stake in The Independent.
Other details were also basically negotiated, only the purchase price remained.
It is said that Wei Xiong wants to enter the Western media industry for a day or two, and he took the opportunity of secretly filming videos to win Sky TV.
Officially entered the British media industry.
But he didn't dare to take too big a step, for fear of arousing the concerns of some conservatives, until John?? It was only when Major came to power that he started thinking again.
The first targets to target are The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian.
Both are among the UK's best-selling national newspapers, with the Daily Telegraph consistently topping the industry in terms of sales.
At its peak, it surpassed the Guardian, The Times and the Financial Times combined.
But the apparent prosperity cannot hide the internal crisis, and the Daily Telegraph's readership is dwindling and aging.
38% were over 55 years old.
In order to get out of this situation, the Board of Directors decided to completely update the printing system. However, the money borrowed from the bank in the past has become due.
Where is the spare money to buy a new printing press.
However, if the newspaper is not changed to a color edition, not to mention the young people, even the elderly will not want to read it, and then the newspaper will be finished.
So the board of directors decided to bring in new investors.
However, the operation of the newspaper is becoming more and more difficult, and many investors are afraid to invest their money in the newspaper, and this is a person.
His name is Conrad Black, and he is the chairman of the board of directors of the Holinger Group of Canada.
Conrad Black agreed to offer £20 million on the condition that he own 51% of the Telegraph's entire shares.
Britain is an old-fashioned capitalist country with a strong sense of tradition.
It is often said that 'three generations cannot cultivate a nobleman', which refers to the deep-rooted aristocratic traditions and styles of the British.
Now the nation's largest Daily Telegraph is at the mercy of a Canadian?
This was very uncomfortable for a part of the British aristocracy. But who will save The Telegraph's deteriorating financial situation?
Seeing that the loan was not yet ready to be taken over by the bank, the board of directors had no choice but to accept Blake's terms.
By the end of 1991, after Black's drastic reforms, the Daily Telegraph had completely shaken off its annual losses.
Annual earnings reached £149 million.
In this case, Webster Media made an offer to the Daily Telegraph, which was undoubtedly rejected by Black.
Then it was rejected by the Guardian.
But the situation is a little different.
As early as 1936, J.R. Scott, the owner of the Guardian, relinquished ownership of the Guardian and established the Scott Trust.
Transfer full ownership of the newspaper to the Foundation.
The foundation's constitution stipulates that the Guardian no longer belongs to any family or individual;
It is not allowed to sell newspapers to any individual or consortium;
All the surplus of the newspaper must be invested in the operation of the newspaper to improve the quality. Such an organisational structure makes the Guardian's stance and posture detached.
But it also cut off the possibility of the Guardian being bought by individuals or consortiums.
Originally, The Times was also a good choice, but the Times was part of News Corp., and it was obviously impossible for Murdoch to sell him.
After much consideration, He Chaoqiong finally locked up the Independent.
Compared to the newspapers above, The Independent does not have a long history, having been founded in 1986 by three journalists from the original Daily Telegraph.
But it grew very quickly, with a circulation of 500,000 copies in the first week.
Since then, although it has declined, it has stabilized at about 300,000 cents per day, but there have been problems such as discord among founders and lack of funds.
It was at this time that Merriam-Webster Media stepped in.
Wei Xiong can not care about the British royal family, but Diana can't.
Because her son is the future king of England, which she can't escape no matter what, she will inevitably have some worries in her heart.
However, the reaction of the media and the direction of public opinion have relieved her.
She knows that a large part of the reason for this is because the royal family is the losing party in her failed marriage to Charles.
At the beginning, the matter was so big that the reputation of the royal family was greatly affected.
To this day, many Britons still demand that the royal family change the crown prince, that is, remove Prince Charles and make Prince William the crown prince.
Seeing the melancholy on Diana's face, Wei Xiong smiled.
Reached over and touched the other party's cheek: "Don't worry, I have met with some cabinet members and parliamentarians in the past few days, and they will help you." ”
Diana responded with a smile.
As long as the government and parliament are on her side, it is not a big problem.
When she divorced Charles, it was clearly written on the divorce agreement that she was the first guardian of Prince William and Prince Harry.
There is power to bring Prince William and Prince Harry to live abroad.
Unless she has broken the law or failed to fulfill her responsibilities. So if the royal family openly opposes it, it will be legally untenable in the first place.
……
Hearing the sound of things being smashed from the study again, the two maids in the corridor looked at each other, and then shrugged their shoulders helplessly.
In the past two days, they have heard similar voices many times.
While worrying, there is also some schadenfreude - if you hadn't cheated in the first place, there would be no headache now.
In the study, Charles sat in a chair.
His eyes were slightly closed, and his expression looked visibly tired. On the table in front of him were several open newspapers, and on the floor were fragments.
It was a fragment of a cup.
He just saw a report in the "Sun", and the report actually asked a question in a ridiculous tone that made him gnash his teeth-
What should Prince William and Prince Harry call Wei Xiong?
It's all about challenging his dignity and that of the entire royal family, but Britain is a country of free speech, and The Sun is not breaking the law.
Even if he is the crown prince, he is not above the law.
In other words, he had nothing to do but sulk himself.
