Chapter 473: Dispelling Sorrow [1]
Human beings are forced out, and there is nothing that human beings cannot do in the face of extreme despair and extreme hope.
Mark quickly assumed the role of the real boss, first having the Legal Department sue newspapers for breach of contract, particularly in Canres State. At the same time, other newspapers that did not do anything were invited to come to the imperial capital and join in a change.
Since the state of Canres has proposed a union-like organization called the "Newspaper Union", it is difficult to press down on this sign at this time. If John hadn't been unconscious, if Arthur and those uncles and aunts hadn't tried to divide the family's interests, if there wasn't anyone behind the scenes, this wouldn't have been a must. But the situation Mark is facing has met all the requirements, so he can only do this.
Rather than allowing those small tabloids to form a newspaper alliance and take the George family as a target and target, Mark himself took the lead in organizing this newspaper alliance and he became the chairman, which was not much different from before. If someone wants to get a press release from a feature agency, they can do so for a fee. It's not about buying, it's paid, after all, it takes time, manpower and material resources to cover a news story and write a press release that is in line with social values and what people like.
Buying, and paid actually mean the same thing, but paid will sound much better.
At the same time, a whole new category will be added, and that is exchange. In fact, Mark has long had this idea, and the Special Press Agency is indeed very powerful, in addition to the hundreds of reporters and writers in the imperial capital, there are also thousands of expatriate reporters who are looking for news throughout the empire.
There are a lot of things happening in this world every day, and there are many, many things, and it is impossible for the expatriate reporters of the feature agency to catch them all, and there will definitely be some missing. Therefore, exchanging the press release of the special article agency for the press release that has been omitted in other regions has a great effect on improving the authority and coverage of the special news agency. At the same time, the exchange of news is not an exchange of money, and it can also be accepted by more newspapers.
As long as he sits firmly as the chairman of the newspaper alliance and restores the special article agency as soon as possible, the glory of the George family will not be lost!
When an industry monopoly giant begins to exert its strength, people can see why the giant is feared. Lawyer's letters and court summons flew like snowflakes to Canle, and at the same time, a lot of invitations appeared in front of almost all newspaper directors, and in the face of this sudden "attack", Mark grew a lot and matured a lot.
Probably he would have been happier if it hadn't been for Arthur.
"Father doesn't seem to be able to do it. Arthur wears a pink shirt and white jacket, and a pair of rhinoceros leather white shoes, of course, there are two rhinoceros horns on them that represent "luxury". He sat straddling the couch, his blond hair curled up from top to in, and a pair of purple sunglasses that covered half of his face, looking no different from those popular movie stars. While holding a nail clipper and picking up the non-existent dust between his fingernails, he said with a snug mouth: "Father is so old, it will definitely be difficult for him to survive this time, and he may return to the arms of God at any time." ”
He didn't seem to care at all how bad these words were, and the long-term Cold War father-son relationship and the brainwashing of his uncles and aunts made the relationship between Arthur and John almost gone. It was only a semblance of father and son, and when Arthur heard that Mr. John was unconscious, he was at first surprised for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
The old guy doesn't die, how can he get his share?
Waiting for the old man to give it to him?
Maybe he will give it to Mark, to Nasha, and it will not be given to him!
So Uncle is right, there are some things that can be pretended not to be seen, such as Mark is now in charge of the whole family. But there are some things that must not only be seen, but also fought for, such as the right that belongs to him.
Mark's face was very ugly, what was going on outside had already made him anxious, but he didn't expect Arthur to suddenly jump out at this time, and say such a thing, how could he not be angry? He just snorted angrily, and looked down at the papers on the table, not at all like seeing this guy in front of him.
Mark didn't want to pay attention to Arthur, but Arthur wouldn't let Mark go, "I know that the current situation in the family is a bit special, and those inferior people are trying to challenge our status, so in order to avoid sudden accidents, do we go through the procedures of the will first, and then unanimously with the public?"
Although Arthur's previous sentence is very presumptuous, although it is very ugly, it is not unreasonable. Mr. John was so old that he suddenly fell unconscious, and even the doctors felt that he had little chance of recovery, and that it was up to God to say when he would leave the world.
But the latter sentence is very excessive, because Mr. John is still alive and enters the testamentary process in advance, isn't that cursing Mr. John for not waking up and will die?
Mark slammed the table, and even the pen on the table jumped twice with a bang, and Arthur was also frightened, "Do you listen to what you yourself say that a person should say? You are actually expecting your father to die? I tell you, as long as your father does not die for a day, your plan to split the family will not be completed for a day, this is what I said!", Mark gasped, pointed to the office door and yelled, "Get out, get out, don't let me see your disgusting face again!"
"You're talking about human beings, and you're telling your brother to get out of your room?", Arthur put his fine nail clippers in the pocket of his jacket, and he took off his glasses with a smile, revealing a handsome face. He looks a lot smaller than Mark, probably because of makeup, or maybe because of maintenance. His life was much happier than Mark's. Changing a female partner every week, he never needs to worry about business matters, and he can get millions of equity dividends every year, so it may make him look younger.
He held the sunglasses in his hand, pointed at Mark with the sunglasses instead of his finger, and poked a few times from afar, "I see how arrogant you can be, you are as disgusting as your mother!", after saying that, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving only Mark with red eyes, clenched fists tightly.
Leaving Mark's office, Arthur quickly found a lawyer who had been working for Mr. John, one of the shareholders of Virtue & Associates, who had been working exclusively for the George family for more than twenty years.
For Mark, the lawyer did not show any disgust, he was a real "worker" and would not bring personal feelings, or other people's personal feelings, into his own attitude towards work. He took the initiative to pull out a chair for Arthur and poured coffee, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
Arthur was angry, took off his sunglasses and threw them on the table, "I'm afraid the old man won't wake up, can we finish the will process in advance?"
The lawyer raised his eyebrows, he shook his head and sat opposite Arthur, and carefully explained to him the legal knowledge related to wills and estates. After the death of the person concerned, after the verification of the court, this procedure can be started, otherwise the court will prohibit any property division procedure. Therefore, even if Mr. John would remain in a coma until he died, as long as he did not see God for a day, no one else would want to get his hands on his property and money.
"There is no other way?", Arthur was a little irritable, the people outside were plotting against the George family, the old man was unconscious, it was possible that before the old man saw God, Arthur's money would become someone else's. If there was no such thing, and those people would not have jumped out to challenge the status of the George family, he would not have been in such a hurry, after all, the matter of face had to be maintained.
He was able to think of so much, in fact, it was not Arthur who was encouraged by their uncles and aunts, as Mark had guessed, but that Arthur had met a rich man when he was out entertaining last night, and that person had alerted him.
Returning from the manor to his villa, Arthur was indignant, these people were all against him, it was simply hateful!
He looked around irritably, suddenly thought of something, picked up the phone, and dialed a number, "Joe, come out in the evening, I'm in for a treat, I have something to tell you." ”
At night, Dover walked into an entertainment venue dressed like a gold medal loser in fancy clothes, and immediately his nose was filled with all kinds of perfumes, and these skilled women were not much different from hundreds of years ago, and still liked to use perfume to cover up their peculiar smell. He didn't like it, but he had to be here because Durin had given him a mission.
The girls were so enthusiastic that some of the guests looked sideways, but they couldn't be blamed. It's true that money is a good thing, but when it comes to selling your skills, if the other party is a handsome young man like Dufo, it is better than those middle-aged men whose system is not much worse than a wild boar.
Surrounded by the girls, Dover entered one of the most exclusive private rooms, where Arthur was already in.
"Go out first, we have something to say. Arthur glared, and the girls left the room with some reluctance, and the room suddenly fell silent. He beckoned and patted the sofa next to him, "Come and sit." ”
"Why do you think of a treat?", after Du Buddha sat down, he took out the handmade paradise from the provincial Yawang capital from his pocket, took out the customized blue dragon lighter, he glanced at Arthur obliquely, and then took a breath, and the whole person relaxed.
Arthur knew it was a good thing when he smelled it, he sighed sadly, and then stretched out his hand, "Come, bring me one too, I have to kill my sorrows!"
