Chapter 167 See the videotape again
The living room of the villa was a little quiet for a while.
Hawke and Erica, a pair of young men and women, have a certain political sense because of their respective growth experiences, can focus on the future, and have a full understanding of the cruel and dark side of competition in this society.
Erica said: "I, a small policeman, can't investigate these cases at all."
Hawke suggested: "You can let the stubborn person go up and hit him first."
"Since I lead a team, I have to be responsible for the safety of my subordinates." Erica never thought of cheating her subordinates: "It's okay if they can't find out, but if they really find out something, personal safety will be a problem."< br>
Hawke shook his head slightly: "No, that's not what I meant."
He simply said: "I plan to have Kristen Johnson, Jessica and others' information secretly mailed to Fox TV station from other places."
Erica asked: "Your friend Megan Taylor?"
"Her nemesis, Gretchen." Hawke said after considering: "The media under News Corporation have always been very courageous. Gretchen has been with Fox for many years. Even if she doesn't dare to check, after receiving the information, she may submit it to the previous one. Level, it depends on whether the Crimson Fox Company has the courage to collide with the Crimson Blue.”
Erica understood clearly: "Borrow Fox's knife to test?"
Hawke said: "Now the red and blue parties are fighting over the governor, and this may be a breakthrough."
Erica thought seriously for a moment: "Do you need me to tell Grandpa?"
Hawke shook his head: "No need for the time being, we need someone to bear the thunder in front, and Fox is good."
"That's right." Erica agreed with Hawke's point of view: "Fox TV Network and News Group have huge businesses, so it's trivial to shoulder this little pressure."
Hawke got her up and said, "If you're hungry, let's make dinner together. There are still many things to do after dinner."
He asked Erica: "Do you still have uniforms and armed belts here?"
Erica said openly: "I know you like it, so I specially customized a batch of uniforms."
The two went to the kitchen together. Hawke was cooking dinner when Erica changed into a cook's uniform and came over.
I can't eat this dinner normally.
…………
The neon lights of Las Vegas at night.
Campos, who had put on makeup and wore gloves, went to the edge of the city, found a mailbox with no surveillance around, and put the mail in it.
The email was mailed directly to Gretchen at Fox.
Campos left quickly, drove around, got into a temporarily rented Volkswagen car, and drove to the city center.
When he arrived near the MGM Grand Hotel, he made a phone call.
Rick Solomon's career as an actor is more like a game. After his father left Warner Bros., he never played a role again, but he is somewhat famous among professional poker players.
As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not difficult to get detailed information on people like him.
Campos was not in a hurry and found a place to stay first. After waiting all night, someone faxed more detailed information about Rick Solomon to the hotel room where he was staying.
People like Rick Solomon, who sounds like professional poker players, are actually professional gamblers.
There are wins and losses in this profession.
Campos discovered that Rick Solomon was a bad person. When Paris Hilton broke up with him, on the one hand, he was not as easy to cheat as he was when he was 18 years old.
On the other hand, he secretly used Paris Hilton's money to gamble.
Although the media has given Paris Hilton the title of a brainless rich idiot, she is not without any brains.
Paris is young, rich, playful, and particularly enjoys the aura of a star.
Rick Solomon has had some bad luck in the past two years, and it has been somewhat difficult financially.
Campos also got a call from Rick Solomon.
Through an intermediary, he contacted Rick Solomon and said he had a big deal to do, possibly involving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The two parties made an appointment to meet at the coffee shop of the MGM Grand Hotel.
At 10:30 in the morning, Campos arrived at the MGM Grand Hotel. After entering the cafe, he quickly found Rick Solomon wearing a top hat.
The latter saw the Mexican with a big beard and asked: "Are you the Vidal who dated me?"
"It's me." Campos took out a fake press card and showed it to Rick Solomon: "I'm Vidal from "World News Weekly", coming here from New York specifically to see you."
Solomon was surprised: "Reporter? Do you want to give me an exclusive interview? I can accept it."
Campos said softly: "This is not an exclusive interview, we want to find out important news from you."
"What news?" Solomon is not an inconspicuous person among professional poker players, and gamblers are all about money: "If you want me to provide news, you need to pay."
Campos’ words were all made up: “When I was in New York, I heard a woman in the Upper East Side socialite circle say that Paris Hilton once got drunk and revealed to her and several close people that she was dating you back then. During that time, she had taken a lot of videos, and she was always worried that the tapes would be leaked.”
Solomon had almost forgotten about this incident, but now he remembered that he and Paris traveled to Paris and took many photos.
Campos glanced across his face: "It looks like it is."
Solomon nodded: "Yes, it was all of her own free will... No, she asked to be photographed, and it has nothing to do with me."
He was worried that the other party was sent by the Hilton family: "Man, if a woman asks to be filmed, how can we as men have the nerve to refuse, right?" Campos nodded: "The video copyright is exclusively authorized to me."
In a sense, Solomon is the yellow hair of this era, and he always has a special attraction to little girls.
But in the eyes of this kind of person, he doesn't care what a woman is like and directly asks: "How much money can you pay?"
"A hundred thousand dollars," Campos said.
Solomon bared his teeth and smiled: "Are you kidding me? The hero is me and the heroine is Paris Hilton."
Campos said: "I haven't seen the video yet. I don't know what the scale is. If it's just kissing and hugging, it's not worth $5,000."
"The scale is the same as the Holy Grain film, I promise." Solomon thought about it for a while and was sure it was correct: "There are scenes of me directly fucking her, and there are scenes of her eating me..."
Campos said: "You make your price."
Solomon thought for a while: "One million US dollars."
The two began to argue and finally reached an agreement on $800,000.

But Campos requested that all images of Solomon not be coded when exposed by the media.
Solomon said there was no problem at all. When the video was exposed, he could show up directly and get Paris Hilton. He would be the envy of many men in the United States.
Maybe he can restart his career as an actor.
This is also bragging rights for men.
Campos wouldn't pay immediately, but insisted on waiting until he saw the video.
Solomon took him to his residence, found the original camera from the corner of the cabinet, and connected it to the computer for playback.
Campos was very satisfied and went to a law firm to draw up the relevant agreement. He obtained the exclusive authorization on the same day and paid US$800,000.
He obtained the authorization and immediately made several copies, taking the original version with him back to Los Angeles.
A copy is mailed to Butterfly Company.
Another copy was mailed directly to Twitter.
After finishing these things, Campos called Hawke and talked about what was going on here.
In Los Angeles, Hawke heard what Campos said and replied: "The morning after tomorrow, you send someone over to sell the video to Twitter. The process is the same as before."
Campos said: "No problem, I can rush back tomorrow."
Hawk hung up the phone, went to the operations department, and found Caroline who was here.
He asked: "How is Will Smith's traffic digested?"
Caroline's slapping little face forced a smile: "In less than two weeks, it has basically calmed down. In a place like Hollywood, scandals and gossip are updated too fast."
She glanced at the data table: "The number of daily registered users in the past two days has dropped to less than 100,000, and the number of daily active users is less than 10 million."
Hawke nodded: "Network traffic has always been like this. It rises quickly and dissipates quickly."
Caroline added: "Will you go to the press conference at the Parker Center tomorrow?"
"You can just go, I'll say hello to the other side." Through the relationship between Mary Ferguson and Susie, Hawke established a cooperation between Twitter and the LAPD.
Network is a part of resources, so you should use it when the opportunity is right.
Caroline asked: "Am I attending the press conference on behalf of the company?"
Hawke threw out another pile of grass: "Soon you will be the company's director of operations."
This is not a cake.
Caroline also knew this. The smile on her palm-sized face was more expressive than that of a kid before entering the slaughterhouse: "I will definitely do it well."
She thought for a while and asked: "Boss, is there any new hot news?"
"It will be there soon." Hawke will not release it immediately: "When the enthusiasm for signing with the Parker Center subsides, there will be new hot news here."
Caroline saw the future of a million-dollar annual salary: "Great, we can do something big again!"
One day later, downtown Los Angeles.
On behalf of Twitter, Caroline signed an exclusive network cooperation agreement with Susie, the head of the LAPD Media and Public Relations Office, witnessed by many media.
The LAPD will open an official Twitter account and will use the official Twitter account as a platform when issuing announcements via the Internet.
On the afternoon of the same day, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced at their regular pre-season press conference that the team would fully cooperate with Twitter and open the Dodgers’ official Twitter account.
The famous saint Steve Nutt attended the press conference and announced his official Twitter account, announcing that he would publish his daily life with his black son through Twitter.
This attracted many fans and media to register accounts on Twitter.
What's more, some media proactively contacted Twitter and requested corresponding official certification for their accounts.
It was at this time that Caroline personally negotiated the new video license.
