Chapter 750: A Friend with Strong Connections (Part II)
That's right, Sun Ziming is interested in the connections in the hands of Cork Kercorion, who opened a casino, and I don't know how many people he has befriended. The last time Cruise's incident, if he had the same power as in Hong Kong, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
The United States is a country with developed media, and in addition to the three major media groups, there are many tabloids, small radio stations, and small television stations.
Bullshit! Behind those so-called independent television stations, newspapers and magazines, there are either the three major media groups or various consortia. In addition to the fact that ESPN and California TV, which Sun Ziming acquired, both fell into losses, more importantly, they were controlled by a California consortium. And Tino and Shantino, in order to cooperate with Sun Ziming and join the feast of Russian wealth, this is why they refused the acquisition of CNN and ABC, so that a Chinese acquisition was successful.
In other words, the media in the United States is almost entirely controlled by large and small corporations, who use the media to manipulate public opinion, push the government to formulate policies that favor them, or support their own spokesmen.
Tino has a high-level relationship and can be used in the business field, but there are some things that can't help. For example, Cruise's derailment, Connor and Liana both found the editor-in-chief of "Variety" for the first time, so what's the use? People's newspapers have long appeared on the streets and alleys, and they are quickly reposted by a large number of media.
If you want to prevent similar problems from happening in the future, you have to go down the lower route and prosecute the scandal before it comes to light. It's nothing, eat a trench and grow wise, Li Rui and they have already started to establish a relationship among the paparazzi, and if they secretly photograph anything unfavorable in the future, they will buy it at a high price as soon as possible.
Of course, if it was just Cruise's, Sun Ziming wouldn't have thought about cooperating with Cork, and he could afford to lose that little money. Cooperating with Cork means pulling MGM out of the quagmire, which means that his own interests will be damaged. But what about Guangzai's affairs in Indonesia? If they can be mobilized as soon as they are launched, they can let most of the media in the United States help to say good things and dress them up as heroes, even if they don't win those Indonesian monkeys, they have to take care of the face of their masters, so as not to kill them all.
The media in the United States do not have any correspondents, and all news is reported by reporters from their own newspapers and television stations, just to ensure the authenticity and objectivity of the news! Authenticity can be guaranteed in society, politics, and financial news, but objectivity is seen by the benevolent and the wise.
If you want the media to sing praises for them, you must find a suitable intermediary and a suitable place, and this person and place must be recognized by those reporters and editors-in-chief, and have considerable credibility and prestige. Only in this way will reporters and editors-in-chief be able to take those benefits with peace of mind, and their reports will also be tendentious to mislead the public. By the time the consortium behind their media reacted, the report had already been sent out and the impact had already been made, so everyone had to continue with the bite of the head, and they couldn't slap their own newspapers and TV stations twice, right?
Sun Ziming's most secret thing in his heart, Tino and they will not help, and even mentioning it will alert them. In addition to bringing huge benefits to his partners, another important reason why Sun Tzu Ming can mix like a fish in water in the United States is that he is far away from politics. If everyone knows that the future turmoil in Indonesia is related to him, perhaps the current allies and partners will leave him - Hollywood is an entertainment center, not a political center, and it has always been the right place for politics, and no one wants to put a lot of dollars and do something about politics. If one day Hollywood has a distinct political tendency, how will its films be sold all over the world?
Sun Tzu knows what he wants, and he also knows what Cork wants, but Cork only knows what he wants, and he knows a rough idea of what the other party wants, which determines that Cork is at a disadvantage. The upper-class characters have the self-esteem of the upper-class characters, and when it is impossible for them to take the initiative, they will go to the lower ones. Seeing that Sun Ziming was still drinking tea calmly, Cork finally couldn't help it, he was originally begging for someone, and if he didn't seize the opportunity to meet, maybe there would be no more opportunities.
Putting down the finished coffee cup, Cork finally glanced at the gentle Japanese girl and whispered, "Ming, can we talk privately?" ”
"Please", Sun Ziming was no longer hypocritical, and motioned for the two to go upstairs to talk.
When the three of them arrived at the study, Kayo Sato turned on the signal jammer to make sure that no one could eavesdrop and record, and then bowed slightly and exited the study.
"Ming, you're too careful", Cork was a little annoyed, clearly distrusting himself.
Sun Ziming changed his reserve just now, sat in front of the fireplace with Corke, who was half a head taller than himself, and explained, "Coke, don't mind. I have business in addition to the United States, but also in Asia and Russia, and it's just getting used to it. ”
"Huh?"
Cork's blue-gray eyes narrowed, could he still cooperate with him in other fields? The guys in the California consortium have done a lot of good things in Russia, and even took down the gas pipeline to Europe.
"Cork, I'm a man who likes to make friends, and I've never had too many friends."
Since he wants others to work, Sun Ziming is not a stingy person, he got up and took out a plan from the desk drawer and sat back on the sofa, and whispered: "Cork, we are preparing to build a new entertainment city in Macau, are you interested?" ”
I started by opening a casino, what does it mean to open a casino in Macau, which is a monopoly?
Cork suddenly felt that the things in his hand were a little hot, and he hadn't given the trading chips yet, but the other party threw over a gold mine, maybe what he wanted was beyond his bottom line.
"Hey", Cork stayed for a while, and finally sighed, put the plan lightly on the coffee table, and said regretfully: "Ming, this thing has exceeded my imagination, maybe I can't give enough chips." ”
Seeing this super-rich man so cautious, Sun Ziming couldn't help but laugh proudly, "NO, NO, don't think that this is my business, this is my friends' business." Kok, you know I'm never involved in politics, but it's always necessary to make a few more friends. Rest assured, they're just asking you to do you a small favor and provide a place and avenue that's comfortable enough to be reassuring. ”
Cork didn't want to agree, Tong Guò casino deals with politicians are not an insider, but it has always been his subordinates who do it, who will get those things?
Sun Ziming shook his head again and said: "No, no, you misunderstood again, I don't participate in politics, where do you come from." You've been to Macau, and you know that I have children there to help, and they want to ask you for help. Don't get me wrong, I'm a legitimate businessman and I've never been involved in illegal business. I value my relatives and friends very much, so I will help them with this little favor. ”
After looking at Sun Ziming for a while, he didn't see anything else, so Cork relieved himself that the other party was just an underground force. What the underground forces want to do is nothing more than arms, drug/product smuggling, pornography trading, etc., and those businesses can allow his subordinates to introduce a lot of friends to each other.
"Ok, you give me a phone number, I'll send someone to talk to them, and I'm never involved in illegal activities."
Cork said pointedly, put the plan back in the book, and continued: "Ming, now talk about our business, do you think there is a chance to cooperate?" ”
To let the other party help him, Sun Ziming has always made heavy bets, and after a little pinching, he said: "Cork, you also know the strength of light and shadow, if you don't mind, we can cooperate in media and production." Of course, the specific conditions, I have to talk to George and Peng, those I am a layman. I can only assure you that we at Light and Shadow will try to be as fair as possible, and not be as greedy as other companies. ”
Cork smiled knowingly, with the plan in his hand, those conditions don't matter, this kid must be paid for being a broker.
"Ok, leave it all to them to talk about, I'll leave first."
Sun Ziming also got up to shake hands with him and casually reported Wang Zhongsheng's phone number to him.
"I wish you all a happy cooperation, and I have to go to Marbury to see my little daughter."
