The black Rolls-Royce had just stopped in front of a hotel next to the River Thames, and dozens of reporters and paparazzi swarmed like flies that smelled blood, and if it weren't for the security personnel who instantly formed a human wall in front of the car, I am afraid that the car would have been swallowed by them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≥≥,

The door was pushed open from the inside, and Duke had just gotten out of the car when the shutter of the camera and the chaotic sound of questioning came like a storm.

"Mr. Rosenberg......"

"Rosenberg Director ......"

Under such a chaotic question, Duke could not answer any questions, and the reporters and paparazzi seemed to understand this, and a certain order was formed tacitly, and soon only a few reporters at the front were left to ask questions.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been delayed?"

The reporter from the "Sun" was the loudest, "It is said that it is because the crew refuses to compromise on the remuneration of the actors? Sharp contradictions between the two sides? Is this true? When will it be resolved? ”

Duke stopped, raised his hand and made a downward gesture, waited for a little quiet in front of the hotel, and said, "The Harry Potter crew is a whole, all the reasonable requirements of the actors will be met, the producers are working hard to solve the problem of new contracts with the actors, and it won't be long before "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" can be officially established." ”

After saying this, he ignored the reporter's questions, and walked into the hotel under the protection of the security personnel.

There were already people waiting here, and as soon as Duke entered the hotel lobby, a man with the demeanor of an English butler greeted him.

"Here, Mr. Rosenberg, please."

He led Duke to the dedicated elevator room, and through the elevator to the third floor, which was a huge banquet hall, and because he arrived a little late, the party had already begun.

"Hey. Duke. ”

"Hi, Rupert."

Walking into the ballroom, Duke and Rupert? Murdoch shook his hand and said, "Sorry, I was chased by a reporter when I went out." Here again, I was surrounded by reporters and delayed for some time. ”

Rupert? Murdoch waved his hand, "It's okay. ”

Although there were hundreds of guests in the banquet hall, Duke and Murdoch were certainly at the top of the circle, and under Murdoch's leadership, Duke walked towards a small circle in the banquet hall, and only a few sat in front of the sofas, but all of them were famous people.

For example, Ryan, the richest man in the United Kingdom and the largest individual shareholder of Warner Records? Blavatnik. And Tony, who has just stepped down from the position of British Prime Minister? Blair.

"Hi Duke,"

Ryan? Blavatnik had met with Duke a few times before at Warner, "You were late, were you stopped by Rupert's reporters?" ”

Hearing the other party's quip, Duke spread his hands slightly and said, "The reporters of The Sun are always at the forefront. ”

Several people laughed.

And then Rupert? Murdoch officially introduced Duke to the famous politician. "Duke, is this Tony? Blair. Just call him Tony. Tony, is this Duke? Rosenberg, you can also call him Duke. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Tony." Duke took the initiative to extend a hand, and the leader of the Labour Party shook it firmly on his hand, "I can know you." I'm glad too. ”

With Tony? Blair shook hands, Duke sat on a single sofa, and glanced at Mrs. Murdoch without a trace, once her scandal with Blair spread all over the world, I don't know if they are together now?

The thought was fleeting. Rupert? Whether Murdoch was hatted or not has nothing to do with him.

The topic of several people has always revolved around the political situation in Britain, Duke is a layman, he listens most of the time, and rarely takes the initiative to speak, but he can also faintly hear it, Rupert? When Murdoch came to power as a new prime minister, he had some trouble.

What are these troubles, Duke can certainly guess, but he doesn't want to get involved, and the wiretapping scandal will have a negative impact on Rupert? Murdoch brings shock, but not a lethal threat.

It's true that he and Murdoch are partners, but a News Corp. that isn't particularly powerful is what Duke wants to see.

Just as he doesn't actually want to see News Corp. acquire Time Warner, an overly powerful News Corp. simply doesn't serve his interests.

Duke was well aware that the wiretapping scandal had dragged down News Corp. and hit Rupert hard? Murdoch's ambitions.

In particular, Murdoch is already old, and the struggle within the family is extremely fierce, and it is impossible for the future News Corporation to grow and develop again at the same rapid pace as before.

If it weren't for that, Duke wouldn't have chosen to go with Rupert? Murdoch cooperation.

Of course, neither he nor Murdoch will be stupid to believe each other, in fact, everyone knows very well that no one is a good person.

Warner-Fox World will officially start construction in Shanghai next year, and the project promoted by Duke can be said to be the biggest link of interest between the two parties.

There is no lack of cooperation between the two sides, and this is the case in the business world.

In a chat, Duke and Rupert? Murdoch has made another investment, and they will be with Ryan? Blavatnik together, invest in Tony? Blair's forthcoming political and economic consulting firm, the Blair Associates, will be founded.

Although he stepped down from the premiership, the relationship between politics and business, which Blair has built up over the years, can play a huge role in certain moments.

However, this is where their conversation goes, because a person who does not belong to this circle comes over.

"The nouveau riche of Russia." Ryan? Blavatnik saw the man coming over, shrugged his shoulders, and simply left the place, obviously to Roman? Abramovich has some opinions.

Despite his bent desire to break into the upper circles of the West, Roman? Abramovich will still be ostracized.

After a brief chat with him, Tony? Blair and Rupert? Murdoch went elsewhere for socializing, and Duke was the only one left here.

Unlike others, Duke doesn't take anyone lightly, and even a pig with Abramovich's net worth is enough to prove that this is a very powerful pig.

'I was expecting our team to play each other in the Premier League.

The Russian billionaire switched to football in a matter of words, "and as a result, you later withdrew from the bid for Manchester United......

"The price they are offering is outrageous." Duke casually said a reason, "It's beyond my psychological expectations." ”

Abramovich sat across from him and asked, "And now?" Still interested? The Arabs are also looking to join the Premier League club, which will soon become the most watched professional sports league in the world. ”

The Abu Dhabi consortium was buying Manchester City FC, and Duke had also seen it in the newspapers after he came to London.

It's just that he wasn't so interested in English football, shook his head, and said, "There are no plans for this in the short term." ”

He is more interested in American football than in English football, but unfortunately there are no NFL teams in the Los Angeles area, otherwise he would have made a bid for it.

In fact, he didn't have plans to do so, and the Oakland Raiders in the San Francisco area were the main target.

Founded in 1960 as one of the original eight teams in NFL, the team moved to Los Angeles in 1982 and became the Los Angeles Raiders, but moved back to Oakland in 1995.

Is the current team owned by Al? Davis, who is old and not wealthy, has always served as the coach, manager and owner of the Raiders, under his coaching and management, the Raiders have won 1 AFL championship and 3 Super Bowl championships, and have won more than 50% in 28 seasons in 48 seasons, including 16 consecutive years from 1965 to 1980.

The economic crisis swept across the United States, Al? Davis was not spared, and although the NFL's team profitability was quite good, other investments still brought him financial crisis.

One of Duke's agents approached him last month, but Al? Davis's willingness to sell is not too strong, especially against Duke's plan to relocate to Los Angeles after buying the team, and the two sides can only say that they are in the initial contact stage for the time being, and there have been no formal negotiations.

However, there are always ways to make the other party have to shoot the team, such as David, Duke's investment agent, who contacted Al? Davis borrowed from banks and foundations, and these creditors will soon be collecting their debts......

Of course, Duke doesn't have to be bought, and if the cost is too high or too difficult, it's good to give it up.

David once suggested that he buy the Los Angeles Clippers, but unfortunately Duke didn't know anything about basketball and didn't have any interest in the NBA.

In fact, the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball are not bad, and their influence in Los Angeles is no worse than that of the two NBA teams, but it is more difficult to buy it than the Oakland Raiders.

And the Los Angeles Dodgers are valued at more than $1.5 billion, which is worth more than the current Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers combined.

Faced with such a large amount, even Duke had to think about it.

With such a large amount of money, it is not said that it can be thrown out, it will involve all aspects of his entire industry.

"It's a pity you're late." Abramovich clearly wants to befriend Duke, "otherwise we can go to the European Championship together." ”

"It is said that the Spanish team won the championship?"

Although he will not have a deep friendship with the other party, Duke will not casually push away the kindness of others, he still has the least politeness, and he also followed Abramovich's words a few words, "I don't watch much English football, but I appreciate the control style of play of the Spanish team......"

Abramovich laughed, "My squad is also moving towards that, welcome to Stamford Bridge. (To be continued.) )
