Chapter 529 Standard Newspaper Group
The flames jumped in the fireplace, reflecting the dungeon-like scene in the house.
But if you look carefully, you can find that the seemingly rough dungeon-like layout is actually very exquisite in every detail, and the scenery is made of high-end materials.
This is only if. In fact, at this time, the clear and loud sound of whipping echoed in the room. Under such circumstances, no one would have the intention to carefully observe the decoration. details.
"Oh...um..."
The firelight reflected the figure on the wall, which was a tall man and a restrained and exquisite figure...
...
By the time everything was over, Joe Harriman already felt that he It seemed that even the strength to lift his arms had been lost.
After taking a bath, Barron drank the amber wine into his mouth.
Although the sound just now sounded terrible, in fact those whips were made using special techniques, making them extremely loud, but ordinary strength would not hurt the opponent - at most It just leaves some traces.
Although Joe Harriman looked extremely embarrassed at this time, her still rosy face and the satisfaction in her eyes...
These made Barron understand that he seemed to have developed something about this woman. Special attributes.
Actually speaking, with Barron’s current status, there will always be some negative emotions accumulated, because many rules in the world are only followed by people within the rules, and there are always some people who are above these rules.
A meek and kind-hearted sheep cannot protect his current status and wealth. Behind the glamor, he always needs to use some means.
Don’t look at the fact that Europe and the United States always claim to be “civilized”, but in fact, at this level, they still follow the law of the jungle of the weak and the strong - many times, using some traditional Chinese ideas, it is very It’s hard to understand this sense of contradiction.
Just like the cultural relics displayed in the British Museum, more than 80% were plundered from all over the world. According to the Chinese people's thinking, I am afraid they would be embarrassed to announce it to the public...
But the British displayed it triumphantly, not caring that it almost showed their history as bandits and invaders. Instead, they were very proud of it...
Those Europeans who visited this museum also had How many people would really condemn Britain? Most of them are envious that they were once so powerful.
This is the truth, "golden belt for murder and arson".
All those families that continue to be glorious, behind the tenderness, are soaked in blood.
However, he usually hides these in front of his family and lovers and shows his gentle side.
But these negative emotions always need to be vented at some point - he will choose to vent them in the most appropriate way.
……
On March 21, the day after the hearing in which Murdoch participated, the independent newspapers under the SEM Group signed an agreement with News International Group Under the agreement, they will acquire The Times and The Sunday Times from News International Group.
This news has not been announced to the public for the time being, but will be announced after a period of time.
Speaking of which, the Times is not outstanding among News International Group newspapers in terms of circulation or profitability.
But it is the most authoritative newspaper owned by News Corporation in the UK. Under normal circumstances, Murdoch would never sell this newspaper easily. Today is different from the past. After promising to close the "News of the World", if Murdoch wants to retain News International Group, then under the pressure of Barron and the British government, the only way is to sell the "Times".
Due to the outbreak of "Eavesdropping", the British government will never allow News Corporation to control more than one-third of the print media circulation in the UK, especially with the ownership of "The Times" The newspaper, an authoritative media, will have an uncontrollable impact on British public opinion and politics.
In the meeting that day, Barron and Murdoch reached a tacit agreement that Sky TV would make concessions on the Premier League broadcasting rights and sell The Times to Barron. After conceding, Barron exerted some influence at the last hearing, allowing Murdoch to breathe without being forced into a corner.
Now, it is time for him to fulfill his promise and give up the Times.
After this acquisition and the closure of "News of the World", News International Group's proportion of print media circulation in the UK has dropped from more than one-third to less than 20%. It could be said to be a rip-off - but at least News International Group remains.
The independent newspapers owned by SEM Group have increased their proportion of newspaper circulation from one-sixth to more than 25%, becoming the largest newspaper group in the UK.
In addition, after "The Times" and "The Sunday Times" join the independent newspaper industry, in order to show respect for one of the most authoritative newspapers in Britain, the independent newspaper industry will be renamed the Standard Newspaper industry - echoes the name of SEM Group (Standard Entertainment Media Group).
At this time, Barron had left London and took the Devonshire to Los Angeles.
Because Fan Bingbing’s due date is coming soon.
Although Barron and Murdoch reached a verbal agreement, I believe that the other party will not be so irrational as to go back on their word.
Of course, there are not many such things that go back on your word, but the premise is that you can withstand the other party's anger.
I believe that with Barron's strength, as long as Murdoch still has sense, he will be very honest.
After arriving at Leith Flower Manor, Barron also met Fan’s mother for the first time.
After coming to the United States for the first time and seeing the meticulous care her daughter received and the environment in the manor, Fan's mother slowly accepted the fact that Fan Bingbing insisted on carrying a child for the British Duke. , and feel a lot more relieved.
In the following time, she and Fan Bingbing's father also took turns visiting Fan Bingbing several times - after all, there was another child who was attending elementary school in Yanjing and needed someone to take care of him.
Only during the Spring Festival, because Barron could not come to visit Fan Bingbing, their family came to Los Angeles and reunited here to spend the Spring Festival.
Now that it is time for her daughter to give birth, Fan’s mother is naturally very concerned and nervous, and came here early to accompany Fan Bingbing.
This was the first time Barron met Fan’s mother. It can be felt that at the beginning, Fan’s mother was still a little unnatural.
However, with Barron's fluent Chinese communication and his friendly attitude, Fan's mother gradually adapted to it.
Because he had already known that Fan Bingbing was pregnant with twins this time, Barron was very careful and concerned. One week before the expected date of delivery, Barron had already transferred the baby to the Flower of Leith Manor. A house in the hospital was well decorated, with the best medical equipment placed there, and even a dedicated delivery room.
The best obstetrics and gynecology team in the United States also has "superpowers" and is on call 24 hours a day.
Even two days before the due date, helicopters were on standby in the manor at all times to take Fan Bingbing to the nearest highest-end hospital in case of special circumstances.
