Durin was obviously not joking, he had always done it, believing that bullets were more binding than words, morality, integrity, dreams, etc., because human beings only have one life and are fragile.

Nasha smiled and didn't say anything, she took the spoon and stirred the mushroom soup that had just been delivered, the rich milky aroma combined with the aroma of mushrooms and corn to exude a charming flavor. She knew Durin wasn't joking, but now that she needed some help, she didn't have much left. Although Nasha still doesn't know why her grandfather, Mr. John, gave the theater chain to his siblings at great expense and didn't give her this lineage, the only thing she can do now is run the two tape companies in her hands.

In order to ensure legibility and greater recognition, another company has changed its name to Star Empire Media, Inc., in response to the pressure of more and more investors looking at the tape market. According to the financial report of the last quarter of last year, the quarterly profit of the two companies has increased significantly compared with the third quarter, and the total revenue of the tape excludes various expenses and costs, and the net profit is 270,000.

This may not seem like a lot, but the profits brought by value-added services are far more profitable than a simple tape business. The net profit brought by advertising and some special programs is about 620,000, and the combined revenue in the first quarter is close to the 1 million mark. The management of the two companies met at a meeting a year ago, at which it was agreed that there would be more significant growth in these revenues in the new year, but also more challenges.

This is only the good side, then naturally there is also a bad side. Now there are a total of seventeen tape media companies in the entire empire, some are looking for innovation and want to break through the current mainstream content, but there are also some companies that have given up independent innovation and fully plagiarized the content of the Empire Star, and if they can't continue to lead in content in the new year, they may encounter failure.

At the same time, with the loss of the George family, there was some impetuous atmosphere at the top of the company on both sides, and some executives had the idea of leaving the company. They were able to be called by Nasha to be her subordinates in the first place, not because she had outstanding abilities and other talents that could impress others, but because she was backed by the big tree of the George family. Now that the tree is down, there are so many challenges, and there is so much pressure, it's obviously normal to want to leave.

Not everyone is looking to challenge themselves to push their limits, and there are some people who just want a stable life.

Regardless of the personnel changes at the top of the hierarchy, it is very likely that a tsunami will form a tsunami that will sweep through the two companies, which Nasha definitely does not want to see, and she will need to rely on these two companies to revive the glory of the George family. So she wanted to ask Doolin what she could do to manage her industry efficiently, but it was clear that Doolin's answer kept her from continuing the conversation.

She couldn't do it, and if she could, she wouldn't have met Doolin.

She quickly changed the subject, looked out the window at the deserted street, and asked, "Where do you think the future holds?"

"The future?", Durin shook off his napkin and tucked it at his neckline, picked up his spoon and scooped a spoonful of rich mushroom soup, "If I were you, I would package and sell both companies to nouveau riche who are waving checks and want to enter the industry, and they will offer you a satisfactory price for these two companies that are doing well and have a high market share." Then take this money, find some solid investment, run a small business that will not hurt the foundation, or simply find someone to marry and spend this life richly, this is the future. ”

"Don't you think about me?", Nasha put down the spoon and showed a very serious look, she was a little angry, she didn't like Durin's statement and the "kindness" to her, and couldn't help but retort: "If our business situation can be steadily improved this year, as long as we can continue to operate, we will be listed on the exchange next year, and at that time there will be more money to open up the market and fight with other companies, maybe we will become the dominant party in this field." ”

Durin looked serious and nodded, "Then do as you say!"

He was very disdainful, Nasha could see the indifferent figure in his eyes, why?

Of course, because the emergence of cable TV will inevitably eliminate the medium of tape, which has been outdated for just a few years, newer, faster, more and more accurate cable TV can kill all tape companies as soon as it appears. Rather than paying about 100 yuan a month for 10 yuan of tape that is updated every 10 days, cable TV is the real mainstream of a medium that allows you to see new content anytime, anywhere, and does not need to pay more for it.

Even in the magical world called the Internet in Dulin's dream, countless traditional media media have been wiped out by the Internet, but cable TV can still develop healthily, and in some fields it can even fight back and forth with the Internet.

It can be seen that the value and potential of cable TV can be said to be infinite, and it is absolutely dominant before the advent of the Internet.

However, he would not say that he was disappointed by the attitude of Mr. John and Mr. Mark, so he dug a pit and caused the giant to fall, and then the other giants pushed him down the abyss. He hadn't acquired all of the George family's wealth, but he was now very satisfied with what he had eaten. He wouldn't give Nasha, or the George family, a chance to turn over for any reason, that would be a stupid thing.

Durin stopped talking and made Nasha feel a little complicated that was difficult to describe, wondering, and not wanting to ask Durin, she could only use this emotion for a lunch that was not too rich.

During the meal, Nasha asked Durin about what media companies need to pay attention to, as well as the new open source port. In this regard, Durin did not mind telling her his thoughts, the more brilliant the doomed failure is, the more it can reflect the value and significance of the coming of the new era. Just like fireworks, people will always remember the most brilliant one, and never think about how much money has disappeared under this beautiful view.

After the meal, Nasha invited Durin to go around the company, and Durin was idle, and after thinking about it, he agreed to Nasha's request. Nasha actually did this for a purpose, she may not be able to do what Doolin said, "disobey the rules or die", but she can use Doolin's prestige to temporarily quiet some people with bad intentions. She didn't need this false tranquility to last long, just a year, a year.

After this year's financial report comes out, she will submit it to several well-known financial audit companies on Sheris Street for review, and then actively seek to go public. Once any one is successfully listed, the other will be able to follow suit. With two listed companies in hand and deep pockets, Nasha is confident that she can win all the wars in this field.

The first time Durin appeared on the Imperial Star, many people forgot about the work in hand, and it was rare for the old club and the new owner to appear at the same time, especially since they all knew how much effort Durin had put into this tape company, and almost every project was proposed and perfected by him, but in the end he didn't know why it was sold to Nasha. In such a situation, the two of them were able to appear together, and it seemed as if there had been no quarrel, which was really shocking!

As for some people in the management when they heard the news, they were not as curious as those ordinary employees outside the door, but their expressions were a little dignified. As the mainstay of society, the middle and upper classes, they know better than those who have a few people and a dozen people squeezed into an office, what role Doolin played in the fall of the George family, and they also know better that Doolin's strength and financial resources have in turn surpassed Nasha, the orthodox heir of the George family.

If these two people can shake hands and make peace, even if it is superficial, the pressure on these people will be extremely great.

There must be a new atmosphere in the new year, and many old employees have greater expectations for the new year when they see the old and new bosses appearing together. Of course, there are some people who are not happy in the new year, such as Mr. Amp who goes by the pseudonym Lapian.

With a phone call from Maggs, Anna finally got the whereabouts of Mr. Amp, who had lost contact, and she was definitely not going to the Federation, but to the special commissioner of the Imperial Intelligence Service (Ministry) and someone from the Imperial Foreign Office.

In fact, it has always happened in the past, when the hidden intelligence agents are caught, and almost 99 percent of the intelligence agents end up secretly executed after a series of brutal interrogations when it is confirmed that they can no longer squeeze any value. Whether it's the Empire or the Federation, these people are like transparent people, and there is no trace of their existence in this world at all.

If it weren't for the few words Durin said this time, maybe the fate of Amp would have been the same, and when the interrogation was meaningless, he might have been killed by a bullet, and then become fertilizer for a certain place, nourishing that land and the plants that grow on it for a long time to come.

Fortunately, now he is safe.

Seeing the faint sunlight again, Amp raised his hand to block out the non-dazzling light, he had been held in a small room with no fingers visible for the whole month, except for the occasional drag out by the interrogators and a hard toss, he could be said to have been abandoned and placed on the first batch of processing lists in mid-January.

Fortunately, God favored him again and gave him another chance.

There were no exciting handover ceremonies, no touching speeches, the whole thing was like a silent mime, and he was hooded in the base and had already appeared in a naval port when he took it off.
