Chapter 399: Big News! Newspapers sold out!
"Introduction, this is a member of the Walter Club, a locomotive with super speed." Xia Shang raised the corners of his mouth slightly as he spoke, he believed that the locomotive himself would not have an opinion on his imitation, of course, the grave grass was estimated to have a three-meter-high locomotive, and he could not express any opinion.
"One of the members? Could it be that there are other mutants in the other party's club? ”
The mood of the demon girl at the moment can be described as quite complicated, she originally thought that after the government's hunting, there are very few mutants living in this world now, and even pessimistically believed that mutants are about to become extinct.
Especially after learning about the government's Sentinel plan, her premonition became stronger and stronger, so she risked being arrested to assassinate Dr. Truss, because she knew very well that if the Sentinel project was allowed to go smoothly, then in the future, more mutants would be captured and killed!
Therefore, in order to save the future of mutants, she resolutely chose to kill Dr. Truss, in an attempt to prevent future troubles, but unexpectedly, the development of things deviated from her expectations.
After being captured, the government did not kill her, but conducted various human experiments on her, all of which were related to the Sentinel robots, and then she knew that she had failed to stop the Sentinel Project, but instead became an accomplice of the Sentinel Project.
The thought that because of her impulsiveness, she almost ruined the future of mutants, a trace of self-reproach flashed in the Demon Girl's eyes.
"Thank you for saving me, can I know your name?"
The demon girl looked at Xia Shang and said in a sincere tone.
To be honest, she really didn't expect that there was still an unknown mutant group hidden in the United States, and the other party also exposed himself in order to save her.
"Billy, you can call me slaughter too."
Xia Shang smiled.
"Slaughter, I've never heard of the Vought Club before, where did you know about me?" The Shapeshifter was puzzled by the fact that before assassinating Dr. Truss, she had infiltrated Trask Industries, looked through information about the Sentinel Project, and learned that all the mutants had been killed except for Magneto, Charles, and Hank.
It stands to reason that apart from the above three, no one knows her identity, and no one will take a huge risk to rescue her from the government.
"Locomotive, get a 1973 newspaper." Xia Shang said to the locomotive.
"Wait a minute."
The figure of the locomotive disappeared from the noisy bar in an instant, followed by the exclamations of many drinkers, who seemed to feel a gust of wind blowing around them, and some of the ladies' skirts were even blown up.
In the blink of an eye, the locomotive appeared in its original position with a newspaper.
"So fast!" The demon girl felt that the locomotive in front of her did not seem to move, and a newspaper suddenly appeared in his hand.
"There's a special place in the bar where newspapers are stacked, so that's why he's so fast."
Xia Shang took the newspaper handed by the clone, and then handed it to the demon girl with a surprised face.
"Assassinated Truss in public, you were a celebrity back then, not to mention mutants, even many ordinary people knew about you."
Looking at the newspaper in her hand, the demon girl first frowned, and then said in shock: "The people actually regard us mutants as demons, dangerous terrorists!" ”
"As you can see, after you killed Dr. Truss, public opinion was completely out of control, and all mutants, good and evil, were killed with one shot and completely became the public enemy of the whole people." Compared with the Demon Girl, Xia Shang's reaction was very calm, "What happened during this time, you can find out for yourself, I still have something, if you have any questions, you can ask the locomotive." ”
With that, he got up and walked out of the bar.
The demon girl flipped through the newspaper back and forth two or three times, and sighed in her heart, maybe her original actions were a huge mistake, if she hadn't killed Truss herself, then it would have been impossible to completely push the mutants to the opposite side of humanity.
"Where are the other newspapers? Can you take me there? ”
"Follow me."
…………
Sure enough, the news of the mutant attack on the White House spread to the entire United States at a speed like a virus, and after learning that a mutant almost killed the president, public opinion in the United States was in an uproar.
At the same time, the daily newspaper Vis, which recorded the whole story in its entirety and accompanied it with pictures, sold out in just a few hours after its release, and it can even be said that it was simply hard to find a newspaper on the market.
And this time, the U.S. government did not suppress the daily newspaper, but instead contributed to it.
Seeing that the Vess Daily was selling hot, the eyes of the Washington Post and other newspapers were red with envy, as if they had pink eye.
At this time, the president's office of the Weiss newspaper was extremely lively, and the editors-in-chief and bosses of other newspapers kept coming to visit Xia Shang, some of them wanted to get materials from Xia Shang, and some of them even spent a lot of money trying to buy Weiss Newspaper.
After all, the big families behind those newspapers are not fools, and they have already smelled the change in the wind.
Originally, the U.S. government's attitude towards mutants was quite resolute, but any newspaper that dared to write about mutants would be immediately warned or banned, but now it is different, and the attitude of the U.S. government seems to have undergone a subtle change.
This means that the Vess newspaper, which owns the mutant weekly, will be the first newspaper to eat crabs, so it has unimaginable commercial value.
"Mr. Jervis, this price is not low, 35 million US dollars, only 49% of your shares, as a recently rising newspaper, my boss, Warren Buffett, can be described as quite sincere."
Haka, the manager of Hathaway, sat on the sofa opposite Xia Shang, holding a document in his hand.
"I'm sorry, don't say 49% of the shares, even if it's 1%, I don't want to sell it."
I have to say that the financial predator's business sense is really strong, and the speed of action is also very fast, just three days after the White House incident, he sent someone to find Xia Shang.
"Do you want to stop thinking about it?" Haka smiled professionally, after all, $35 million was not a small amount, and he didn't believe that the other party was not impressed.
"When I have time, I will visit Mr. Buffett in person, and I will talk to him in detail when the time comes."
Warren Buffett is worried about Xia Shang's Weiss newspaper, but Xia Shang is not worried about the Washington Post in his hand.
"That's great news, and I'm sure Mr. Buffett would like to meet you, a rookie in the newspaper industry." Although the other party did not sign the acquisition agreement on the spot, Haka is very satisfied with the current result, and in his opinion, Xia Shang most likely agrees in his heart, but he still wants to raise the price a little more.
