"Lucasfilm?"

At this moment, News Corp. seems to have become the owner of Lucasfilm. Murdoch confidently said, "This is not a condition, because Lucasfilm will definitely belong to Twentieth Century Fox." ”

Ryan was silent, if ten people were pulled out of the banquet hall at random, I am afraid that nine of them would have the same opinion as Murdoch, and the remaining one, even if he didn't say it, would think so in his heart.

Today's shape is very obvious, he and Disney can only protect themselves, where is there still the power to expand.

If another person is in charge of Disney, he will definitely find a way to make peace with News Corp. and compromise temporarily.

After thinking for about a few seconds, Ryan spoke slowly, "Rupert, let's be straight, what are your conditions?" ”

"Twentieth Century Fox Acquires DISNEY'S STAKE IN HULU AT MARKET PRICE."

The wrinkled old face faintly revealed the expression of a winner, and Murdoch's words also gave Ryan a thorough glimpse of the greedy side of the media mogul.

"News Corp. has a 40 percent pre-emptive investment in the Avatar franchise and enjoys the same proportion of all the benefits; Marvel Pictures' superhero films were distributed by Twentieth Century Fox; Disney's next three financing expansions, News Corp. has the right of first refusal......"

Hearing Murdoch's conditions, Ryan's face became more and more serious, if Walt Disney was counted as a country, he agreed to the other party's conditions, undoubtedly signing a traitorous treaty.

And the vast majority of what is sold is for their own interests.

"And one last point......," Murdoch said suddenly, earnestly, "Ryan, give up the position of chairman of Disney, this is the best way to save Disney." ”

"Rupert, if I agree to your terms." Ryan's tone was tinged with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think I can continue to sit in the position of chairman of Disney?" ”

Murdoch just smiled and said nothing.

He is not stupid, although he doesn't know the saying that he is asking for money and paying back on the spot. But he also knows a similar reason, and now he has called out a very exaggerated price, and if Ryan is sincere, he will definitely negotiate terms with him.

It's an indescribable, wonderful process of enjoyment, and even if the status is as revered as his, if the strength and tenacity of Ryan can negotiate terms with him in a low voice, the personal satisfaction is far more than the benefits that can be bringed.

Is there anything more pleasant than trampling under the feet of someone whose wealth, net worth, and even strength surpass you?

Looking at the young man with a stern expression on the other side, Murdoch was not in a hurry at all, he was enjoying the moment. Is he waiting for the next moment, for the confident, resilient and ruthless Ryan? Jenkins opened his mouth to throw in the towel.

The other party is indeed a master of playing tricks, but compared to an old man like him, it is still a lot worse......

"I refuse!"

The words that reached Murdoch's ears were not loud, but they were unusually clear and hard.

“What？” He asked meaningfully.

"I refuse your offer."

With that, Ryan had already stood up and was too lazy to look at Rupert? Murdoch, pick up Nicole, and prepare to leave.

"Mr. Jenkins. Do you know what that means? Murdoch stared at him intensely.

Ryan didn't look back, and walked out of the terrace, throwing down his last words, "The.war!" ”

Didn't stay any longer at the banquet. Ryan and Nicole drove directly to Beverly Hills, and after a few turns, they shook off the paparazzi and entered the Swift family's cottage. The Scotts, along with George, were already waiting in the living room of the villa.

"Mommy ......"

As soon as he entered the living room, Sandy, who was temporarily taken care of by Taylor today, ran over and hugged Nicole, and then turned his head and shouted affectionately to Ryan. "Daddy...... I miss you. ”

Ryan pinched her little face, walked to the couch, and when she sat down, Taylor had already brought coffee to him and Nicole, and judging from the interaction between her and her parents, it seemed that a preliminary consensus had been reached on Scarlett's matter.

Of course, these are all trivialities for what they will do next.

"Sandy and I went to the garden."

Probably not wanting her daughter to hear the latter words, Nicole picked up Sandy and left the living room with Mrs. Andrea, Ryan glanced at Taylor, she didn't want to leave in the slightest.

"George, let's talk about you first." He said.

"Rodriguez is ready." George put down his coffee cup and said as simply as he could, "And, Anthony?" Pelicano has a complicated relationship with News Corp.'s New York Post, and we have a lot of evidence about him, and tomorrow we will start referring the special channel to the Los Angeles police, and the FBI will certainly get involved. ”

"Nicole, I'll talk about it."

It was Taylor who spoke, "The royal family is very angry, and the current Prime Minister Gordon? Brown has a very poor relationship with News Corp., especially in the general election to be held in May, when News Corp., which was originally a supporter of the Labour Party, switched to support Cameron, the Conservative Party, which made the entire Labour Party very unhappy. ”

Conservative candidate David Cameron wears a pair of pants with News Corp, something that the whole of Britain knows if......

News Corp. will certainly implicate Cameron.

The matter also involves the royal family, although the royal family and the House of Lords have indeed declined, but no one can deny their influence in the United Kingdom and the entire Commonwealth.

"More than a dozen of our foundations have shorted News Corp.'s stock in hundreds of accounts." Scott said, "Ryan, if things really go as you say, News Corp. will only be at the bottom of the five major media groups in the future. ”

Picking up the coffee cup and drinking the bitter coffee in one gulp, Ryan savored the aroma after the bitterness, "Now, it's time for us to fight back!" ”

It's a new day again, and after breakfast, Rupert? Murdoch walked out of his beach villa in Malibu, and although he encountered some unexpected circumstances last night, it did not affect his good mood, and even if the other party refused, it could not change the current situation.

In his opinion, Ryan? Jenkins has developed too smoothly in the past ten years, and he will only admit defeat when he hits his head and breaks the blood flow.

At that point, the conditions for negotiation will be more than that.

Sitting on a comfortable beach chair, Murdoch looked at the endless sea comfortably, wondering if he should add some more conditions, Disney is the most delicious piece of cake......

Suddenly, there was a rustle of footsteps falling on the beach from behind, and Wendi Deng hurriedly walked over.

"What's the good news?" He looked over and saw that his wife's face was a little anxious and panicked, and he couldn't help frowning.

"News from the British side." Wendi Deng tried to keep his composure, "Scotland Yard arrested James this morning and announced a formal investigation into the alleged wiretapping of the News of the World? ”

"What?" Murdoch got up from his beach chair, not at all like an old man who was almost eighty years old.

You know, James? Murdoch is his favorite youngest son and the successor of his appointed News Corporation!

"Rebecca was arrested at the same time? Brooks. Wendi Deng is talking about News Corp.'s head of the UK, who is also Murdoch's goddaughter," said Scotland Yard, which just held a press conference and claimed that it had obtained key evidence. ”

"Why haven't we gotten the news?"

Although the incident happened suddenly, Murdoch experienced countless ups and downs after all, and soon regained calm, at least on the surface.

"Our people just got the news." Wendi Deng was not as calm as Murdoch, and said very quickly, "No. 10 Downing Street intervened in this incident, and Scotland Yard launched a secret investigation since early February, and people related to us were excluded. ”

Early February?

Rupert? Murdoch turned his head to look south, there was a mountain cliff, the villa on the cliff is famous all over the United States, that is Tony in the movie? Stark's residence, Ryan in reality? Jenkins and Nicole? Where Kidman lives......

Could it be that the matter has anything to do with them?

This moment, Rupert? Murdoch found himself still underestimating his young rival.

But now was not the time to think about that, as he walked towards the villa, he grabbed his mobile phone, "Get ready for the plane to London." ”

HOWEVER, THE WIRETAPPING INCIDENT SPREAD MUCH FASTER THAN MURDOCH IMAGINED, AND ON HIS WAY TO THE AIRPORT, HE HAD ALREADY RECEIVED DOZENS OF PHONE CALLS, AND MANY DISNEY-AFFILIATED MEDIA, LED BY ABC TELEVISION, YOUTUBE, TWITTER, FACEBOOK, YAHOO AND GOOGLE, WERE ALMOST ALL HYPING UP THE NEWS THAT TWO NEWS CORP. EXECUTIVES IN THE UK WERE TEMPORARILY DETAINED BY SCOTLAND YARD FOR INSTRUCTING THEIR MEDIA TO WIRETAP.

Although James? Murdoch and Rebecca? Brooks was soon released on bail, but the paparazzi snapped the two walking out of the Scotland Yard building, which immediately went viral on the Internet, and the News Corp wiretapping incident became a popular search term on Google and Yahoo.

Then, as soon as the New York Stock Exchange opened, News Corp's stock fell by four percent in an instant......

And that's just the beginning.

Media companies such as Time Warner, Viacom, and NBCUniversal, as if they had encountered an irresistible hurricane, immediately turned the ship's rudder and put the news about Disney behind for the time being, and went all out to follow up on the newly reported News Corp. wiretapping incident.

By the afternoon, a new hot article called "Eavesdropper" appeared on many other websites, such as Google and Yahoo, and if you open this entry, everything is almost all negative news from News Corp.

Compared with watching the lively public, the top people in the media industry and Hollywood know that Ryan, who has been passively beaten? Jenkins finally showed his fangs, and he choked News Corp by the throat as soon as he made a move! (To be continued......)
