Sky TV is a British television station and one of the largest pay television stations in Europe.

And "The Curran Show" is one of the top three ace programs in Sky TV's ratings.

The show mainly invites high-profile people such as big-name celebrities, high-ranking politicians, sports superstars, or wealthy people to participate in the show.

Through interviews, some information that ordinary viewers do not know and are interested in is exposed.

The show airs every Friday night at 8 p.m., and unlike previous episodes, this episode starts without the host Curran appearing on the TV screen.

Instead, what appears on the screen is an image that was clearly captured with an amateur camera.

Although the picture is slightly blurry, the characters in it are still quite clear, and the expressions of the audience in front of the TV quickly change from doubts to a hellish expression.

The camera captured the interior of a Western restaurant.

I saw that this western restaurant was luxuriously decorated, the lighting was dim, and there was no one else except for a couple of men and women near the edge of the center stage.

The angle of the camera is just on the side of the man and woman.

However, due to the lighting and the fact that the man was cutting with a knife and fork with his head down, the audience could not see the man's face at first.

After a few seconds, the man lifted his head.

Wei Xiong!

The moment the man raised his head, all the viewers who happened to be sitting in front of the TV recognized the man's identity for the first time.

To say that Wei Xiong's popularity in the world today is no worse than that of the President of the United States.

And even more. And although he has an oriental face, his face is very recognizable, but it is not easy to make mistakes.

There is no doubt that Wei Xiong must have been secretly photographed eating at a Western restaurant.

However, the problem of candid filming is not the concern of the audience in front of the TV at this time, what they are really interested in is who is that woman?

If this woman is not Wei Xiong's wife or public lover, it would really be a big revelation.

If yes, it doesn't matter.

This is the first time that the video of Wei Xiong getting along with his woman has been exposed, but even photos were extremely rare before, and it was still such an ambiguous environment.

It didn't take long for Jennifer Connelly to be recognized.

This is due to the fact that "Life is Beautiful" is being screened around the world, and as the heroine of the film, Jennifer Connelly's fame naturally increases rapidly.

The candid VCRs are obviously high-end and capable of recording.

But because there is music playing in the restaurant, although the music is not loud, it is enough to drown out the sound of Wei Xiong and Jennifer talking.

But judging by the expression, the atmosphere should be pleasant.

Suddenly, Wei Xiong's hand shook at the rose placed in the center of the table. The next moment a sparkling diamond necklace appeared on the rose.

This left the eyes of all the viewers wide.

Is this magic?

Then I saw Wei Xiong pick up the necklace, go around Jennifer's back, and put the necklace around the other party's neck, and it can be seen that Jennifer is very surprised.

Then Wei Xiong performed his magic again, conjuring a vanity mirror.

Then, Wei Xiong got up and walked towards the piano on the center stage, and the music used for flirting in the restaurant stopped in time.

After a few seconds of brewing, a burst of music sounded.

The audience in front of the TV suddenly felt a burst of energy, this is an unfamiliar song, but everyone feels a majestic momentum in the song.

It was as if thousands of troops were charging, and a kind of iron blood rushed to the face.

And the audience in front of the TV also witnessed Wei Xiong's piano skills for the first time, and those hands were like two cute elves jumping on the piano keys.

That kind of dazzling technique is not something that ordinary people can do with the piano.

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes looked straight at the tall figure in front of the piano, not to mention Jennifer sitting under the stage.

I saw her supporting her chin with her left hand, staring at Wei Xiong intently.

At this time, her appearance makes people have no doubt that she has been completely fascinated by Wei Xiong, but no female audience will find it strange.

Such a romantic dinner does not know how to make many young girls in front of the TV envious, jealous and hateful.

The women of this world are sensual animals who crave romance, and the way of romance in each woman's mind may be different.

But Wei Xiong's way is absolutely in line with every woman's requirements.

And it is to meet the requirements with a perfect score, but how many women can meet? Or how many men like Wei Xiong are there in this world?

A few minutes later, the song ended, and Wei Xiong stood up.

The picture also ended at this time, and then Curran appeared on TV, and as soon as Curran appeared, he said in his usual teasing tone:

"Welcome to The Curran Show every week. ”

"You just saw this unusual video recording of Wei Xiong and Jennifer Connelly in a restaurant in Hong Kong. ”

"The time is during this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival. ”

"After watching this video, even I have to admit that Wei Xiong is really handsome, especially the piano piece. ”

"It's obviously not a lyrical tune, but it's powerful enough to shock everyone. ”

"And that dazzling and ornamental technique. If I were a woman, I think I would have been completely captive by him. ”

"Alright, now for our guest for tonight. ”

"Don't get me wrong, tonight's guest is not the Wei Xiong you expected, and he probably won't have time to come here, but we have invited two guests tonight. ”

"One is the famous British actor Mr. Anthony Hopkins. ”

"The other is Miss Sophie Marceau from France, and I am sure you are all familiar with her, and welcome them tonight. ”

The camera pans to Anthony Hopkins and Sophie Marceau.

Both of them greeted the camera separately, and then Curran asked, "Both of you also watched this video just now, I don't know what you think?"

"Ladies first, Miss Sophie can speak first. ”

"That scene, that atmosphere, such a powerful song, plus a personable man, it was really perfect. ”

"If it were me, I think I'd fall too, it's really romantic. ”

"Although this routine has been used by many people, Wei Xiong has obviously taken it to the extreme, don't laugh, I'm very serious. ”

"Also, I'm a fan of Wei Xiong, and I have all his albums in my collection. ”

"There are a lot of songs in it that I like very much, and I listen to them almost every night to sleep, and I'm sure many people are like me. ”

"Also, I have never heard the unknown piano piece just now, it should be a new composition by him. ”

"It's really great, it makes me feel like my blood is boiling, but it's a pity that the sound quality is a little poor, and I can't enjoy it, so it's inevitable that I will be a little regretful. ”

Curran smiled and said, "I don't think Miss Sophie is confessing to Wei Xiong." ”

"There have been media reports that Miss Sophie and Wei Xiong have been in close contact with each other, and when Wei Xiong arrived in France, someone saw you dining together in a restaurant. ”

"It seems to be true. ”

Sophie Marceau shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "I do know Mr. Wei, we are very good friends, but that's all. ”

"Everybody knows I have a boyfriend, don't you? ”

Curran didn't argue with Sophie Marceau anymore and turned to Anthony Hopkins: "What about you, Mr. Hopkins? What do you think?"

"I'm going to say something about Miss Sophie. ”

"But I'm not a woman, and I'm not interested in men, so I'm not going to fall. I think God is too kind to Wei Xiong. ”

"Gave him almost everything a man wanted, and he couldn't make people jealous. ”

After Anthony Hopkins finished speaking, the camera turned back to Curran: "I know you're also interested in magic, and even studied it for a while. ”

"Is Wei Xiong using magic in the video?"

Anthony Hopkins affirmed: "Of course, and I can say responsibly, he is not a beginner. ”

He is seen wearing short sleeves and his hands are on the table throughout. ”

That is, it makes us feel that there is no possibility of him cheating, which requires a senior magician with a certain degree of cultivation to be able to do. ”

"I'm not there yet. ”

Curran turned to look at Sophie Marceau and asked, "Sophie, you and Wei Xiong are good friends, did you know that he could do magic before that?"

"I don't know at all. ”

Sophie Marceau shook her head: "I don't think he's a showman, you never know what he's going to do." ”

"He seems to know everything. ”

"Talk to him, he has great insights on any topic, and no matter what questions you ask, he can give you satisfactory answers. ”

"It's really incredible. ”

Curran said with deep understanding: "As far as I know, everyone who knows Wei Xiong has a very high opinion of him, including politicians. ”

"Not long ago, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, John?? Major praised Wei Xiong as a true gentleman. ”

Anthony Hopkins chimed in: "In fact, Wei Xiong is very popular among the British people, even more than any other star. ”

"It's the same in the world. ”

Curran nodded: "That's right, even a narcissistic person like me has to admit that Wei Xiong is a rather masculine person." ”

"He's going to make you like him before you know it. ”

"And he's a very passionate philanthropic person, and he's donated billions of dollars to various charities so far. ”

"And the "Beautiful Life", his intentions are really moving. ”

"But he has a bad reputation, and that is women, how does Mr. Hopkins think that he has so many wives and still comes out to pick up girls?"

Anthony Hopkins shrugged:

"I don't think it's surprising that a lot of the world's richest people are like that, it's just that they do a good job in secret. ”

"In fact, I believe there are more excessives than Wei Xiong. ”

"But it's rare to see someone as blatant as Wei Xiong, and I'm curious how he managed to keep his wives living together. ”

"Miss Sophie, can you explain this to us from a woman's point of view?"

"How do you know they're okay?"

Sophie Marceau asked straight back, and then said, "No woman wants to share her love with another woman. ”

"Even though Wei Xiong is really attractive, I don't think they are at peace with each other. ”

Of course, judging from the current situation, Wei Xiong obviously has the ability to control the contradictions between them within a tolerable range. ”

Whether Wei Xiong has this ability or not, Sophie Marceau knows very well.

But she and Wei Xiong are only lovers at most, not to mention that she has a boyfriend who is dating, so naturally it is not good to talk too nakedly.

"Well, it seems that there is a hard time for this question to have a result. ”

Curran didn't continue to ask, if it was according to his hosting style, this kind of interesting topic that the audience was interested in would definitely be discussed to the end.

But before recording the show,

His boss greeted him and asked him to pay attention to the words and scale of this episode, and the program had to be reviewed after recording.

He knew why his boss asked for this, and although he was helpless, he had to carry it out.

……

The visit to Cisco in San Francisco was an ad hoc decision made by Wei Xiong, and it was his first visit since investing in Cisco three years ago.

After making a fortune on Black Monday,

Wei Xiong took a fancy to the newly founded Cisco (see Chapter 321) and finally invested $20 million to acquire a 70% stake.

Originally, Cisco's value at the time was far from worth $20 million.

And no one has really discovered the value of Cisco yet, but Cisco's founders, Leonard Bossak and his wife, are just looking for financing.

The management side of the company does not want to let go.

As the founders of the company and the developers of the products, they firmly believe that direct products have a cross-generational meaning and that success is only a matter of time.

Therefore, they do not want their success to end up in the pocket of someone one day.

In order to increase his control over Cisco, Wei Xiong increased the 10 million he was ready to invest to 20 million, which directly doubled.

In the face of huge interests, Leonard Bossak and his wife made concessions.

Wei Xiong became the chairman of the company and did not participate in the daily operation of the company, but had the right to supervise the company's affairs and the right to nominate the president.

And the president must be nominated by him.

However, it is only a nomination, and for formal appointment and dismissal, it needs to be approved by 90% of the votes of the board of directors, which is a mandatory clause.

At the same time, it also leaves the way to amend this clause -

It requires 90% of the equity votes of the board of directors to pass. This is obviously very difficult to achieve, not to mention that Wei Xiong holds a whopping 70% stake in Cisco.

But as long as Leonard Bossak and his wife own more than 10% of the shares, he will be constrained.

After moving into Cisco, Cisco recruited an executive from Apple, Nelson, the vice president in charge of Apple's sales operations. Immelt.

Nelson?? Immelt's position at Cisco is President.

Although Nelson was not technically proficient, he was well-versed in marketing, and under his auspices, Cisco grew tremendously in just three years.

And in July this year, Cisco was successfully listed.

Cisco's IPO price was $7.33 per share, with a total of 120 million shares and a market capitalization of $880 million, but its stock price soared after the IPO.

By the end of the day, it was up 43.6% to $10.53 per share, giving it a market capitalization of $1.264 billion.

Estimates continued to rise in the following days.

So far, Cisco is estimated to have risen to $23.49 per share, with a market capitalization of $2.82 billion, more than three at the time of its launch.

And it's only been 3 months.

Wei Xiong's arrival was welcomed by Nelson?? A warm welcome from a group of company executives, including Mr. and Mrs. Immelt and Leonard Bossak.

The reason why Wei Xiong stopped by to inspect this time is mainly because Cisco's latest production line has been officially completed.

In addition, he thought that he had never been to Cisco to inspect, and now that Cisco has been listed, he is really a bit derelict in his duty as the chairman of the board.

The inspection lasted more than three hours.

After eating a simple working meal at noon, Cui Muqing received a phone call as soon as he returned to the hotel, and his good-looking brows couldn't help frowning.

After hanging up the phone, Cui Muqing immediately reported to Wei Xiong.

London is eight hours ahead of San Francisco, and when "The Curran Show" started in London, San Francisco was a little bit now, and now it's just over the beginning.

When Wei Xiong turned on the TV and tuned to Sky TV,

Although I didn't see the candid video, the topic of conversation between the host and the guests was him, and it was obvious that this show did show a candid video just now.

His face suddenly sank: "It's really unreasonable, dare to do this without my consent." ”

With a gloomy face, Wei Xiong asked Cui Muqing to call Murdoch. Obviously, he didn't intend to leave it at that.

The call was quickly connected.

He took the phone from Cui Muqing's hand, without any nonsense, and bluntly asked: "Mr. Murdoch, what do you mean?"

Murdoch seems a little baffled.

After a pause, he asked in a puzzled tone: "Mr. Wei, what do you mean by this, and what do I mean by doing this?"

Wei Xiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Don't say that Sky TV didn't ask you for instructions before broadcasting the candid video. ”

"If not, I doubt your ability to control the entire group. ”

"You, and News Corp., have to give me an explanation for this. After speaking, Wei Xiong snapped and hung up the phone.

The anger on his face did not subside.

He wasn't angry about the video itself, since the secretly filmed video was just a scene of him and Jennifer eating in a restaurant, it shouldn't be too sensitive.

So he won't take it to heart.

He was angry that Sky TV actually broadcast the candid video. You know, Sky TV is a subsidiary of News Corp.

And he is the majority shareholder of News Corp.

Sky TV will definitely report to the head office before the video is broadcast, which means that it is impossible for Murdoch not to know, but the video is still broadcast.

That proves to be Murdoch's approval, or at least tacit.

Such an act of not taking him seriously is absolutely unacceptable to him. What's more, this incident is not an opportunity for him to take advantage of the topic.

Hmph, it's time to teach Murdoch a lesson.
