Chapter 321 Three Media Tycoons
Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, Director’s Office.
"Murdoko, News Corporation..."
After reading the information about the Wall Street Journal, David's face fell into deep thought.
The Wall Street Journal is part of the world's media giant News Corporation, which is owned by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.
As for Murdoch, he had heard of him, but it was not because of his status as a media tycoon, but because of the gossip that people talked about.
This man has been married several times in his life, and his marriage to the Chinese-American Deng Yuan was particularly eye-catching, but in the end it ended in a breakup.
Although he is 90 years old now, he still maintains his true nature as a man and maintains various ambiguous relationships with female celebrities and models in the entertainment industry. He can really be called a role model among men. .
In addition, he also has an identity, that is, he is a Jew and a member of the Freemasonry.
It seems that the Wall Street Journal’s two attacks on him must have been inspired by him.
"Giggle..."
While David was still in his thoughts, there was a knock on the door. He could only put away his thoughts and said: "Come in."
Nissen walked in, his expression He said seriously: "Director, just now, the Daily Mirror, FX Network, EXC TV station... suddenly expressed support for the Wall Street Journal, and launched a fierce attack on us based on the content of the Wall Street Journal, and they also seized We have used this to induce the psychological imbalance among young people about our promotion. Now the public opinion against us on the Internet is rising one after another, and we must deal with it. "
David frowned when he heard this.
Inducing young people to feel unbalanced about his promotion is indeed a vicious method.
Just imagine, everyone is in their twenties, and you, David, have reached the top of the Internal Revenue Service at your age, with such a high and powerful position, and we are also the same age, but we are just little losers. What a change. Everyone is unbalanced.
If these people are unbalanced, they will naturally be induced by public opinion and do not want to see him, David, enter the General Bureau of the Internal Revenue Service.
It’s very troublesome!
"Daily Mirror, CX Network...these are all media owned by News Corporation."
"Yes, News Corporation has so many media channels that we launched a 'siege'. This The order cannot be given by ordinary people. It must be the order given by their boss Murdoch. I have already read the information about this person. He is a Yutai and a member of the Freemason. There is definitely a reason to do this! "< br>
Hearing this, David's face became unpredictable.
It seems that it is no longer enough to deal with just one Wall Street Journal, because News Corporation has more than 170 media companies, so News Corporation must be dealt with in order to control the media's guidance of public opinion. .
"Director, I have some opinions on this matter..."
David looked at Nissen and asked: "Tell me and listen."
" As for the matter of public opinion, I think we must deal with it, but if we want to deal with it, it doesn't make much sense just to deal with News Corporation or Murdoch, because even if we deal with Murdoch, I I think the Yutai Group will let a second person take over his position and continue to launch a public opinion war against us, so I think that if we want to punish him, we must make other preparations in advance, such as supporting our spokesperson. This is the solution once and for all!”
After hearing what Nissen said, David thought it was true.
There is no doubt that currently using the weapon of public opinion to attack him is effective, so the Masonic group will definitely not stop so easily.
If you want to avoid future troubles, the best way is to support your own spokesperson in the media industry. In addition to controlling yourself from being attacked by public opinion, doing so also has another advantage, that is You can do more publicity and packaging for yourself.
As we all know, in the United States, especially if you want to get involved in the political arena, publicity and packaging are essential.
But for those who want to run for president, their first priority before running is to find reliable media channels to package and promote themselves, and only then can they accumulate capital for the campaign. .
"You're right..."
David thought for a moment, and then said: "Well, let me inform Sally Redstone, John, Malone, and Ted Turner to come see me tomorrow. , arrange a time, I will meet them together!”
……
Los Angeles, in a villa covering an area of 300 square meters on the west side of Beverly Hills, a man wearing The round-faced old man in casual clothes is reading a newspaper.
At this time, a man in a black suit came over, bent down and said: "Sir, someone from the IRS just came and asked you to go to the Los Angeles IRS at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. , their chief David wants to see you”
"What!"
The face of the round-faced old man changed. If you look carefully, you can see that the muscles under his lips are trembling uncontrollably.
His name is John Malone, the godfather of American cable television and media, and an absolute business wizard.
He once made people like media giants Rupert Murdoch and Redstone tremble with fear. He also once made the Vice President of the United States, Gorgon, bow to him.
He is known as the "Genghis Khan" of the American media industry. He shaped an industry and influenced an era. He is one of the greatest business giants that has not been praised in the information age. He is also known as the media The hidden predator in the world.
But even though he had many proud titles, he still inevitably panicked after hearing that David came to his door and asked to see him by name.
The reason is simple. He has seen Hollywood’s tax audits.
He has seen all the subsequent events like the Sackler family, Swiss banks, cryptocurrency companies, and the recent Amazon Group.
Although he has many titles and is known as the godfather of the media industry, the media industry is nothing compared to real capital giants such as Swiss banks, cryptocurrency companies, and Amazon Group. It's not an exaggeration at all.
David can even take care of these real capital giants. If he wants to mess with him, then he will probably have to go back and wash his neck and wait for death.
"Wait...why is he targeting me? I didn't do anything!"
John Malone, who had been panicking for a long time, finally came to his senses.
I’m not messing with you David, and with my little net worth, I can only be regarded as a younger brother compared to giants like cryptocurrency and Amazon. Why are you targeting these three melons? Two dates?
“I’m also very surprised, sir, but I thought about it for a moment. You are the godfather of the media industry, and now the Wall Street Journal, the Daily Mirror and many other media have launched a siege on David, accusing him of being promoted too quickly. There is a secret operation, could it be related to this? "
"The Wall Street Journal and the Daily Mirror are not my damn media industry. He has to go to Murdoch. What are you looking for?”
John's tone sounded a little exasperated.
This is obviously the fault of that old guy Murdoch. Are you going to use him to scare the monkeys?
If you take the blame, it will be really unlucky for your mother to open the door for you, and you will be extremely unlucky.
"This..."
The man in the suit was speechless for a while.
Being approached by David at this juncture can be guessed to be definitely not a good thing, and the possibility of being used to scare the monkeys is very high.
Because although the public opinion war was caused by Murdoch's media group, this group was too powerful and had the support of the Freemasons. David, who was at a critical moment in the period of change, did not dare to directly confront them. It makes sense to start.
It seems very reasonable to take out the chicken John and kill it to scare Murdoch into quieting down.
"Mr. John, how about I arrange the flight while you go abroad to avoid the limelight?" "Idiot, have you forgotten about the Camorra family!"
Listening to John's scolding, the man in the suit suddenly remembered.
After the Camorra family in Los Angeles encountered David's investigation, didn't they want to take the opportunity to escape, but David was really ruthless and directly dispatched fighter planes to intercept them.
This incident shocked the whole country at the time.
If they dare to do this now, they might be the ones on the front page tomorrow, which is not fun.
“Help me cancel tomorrow’s trip!”
Now that David has come to the door and has asked to see him by name, there is definitely no way to hide, so he can only cooperate and come to see if there is a chance for negotiation.
……
Atlanta, Georgia, CNN headquarters building.
CNN, the full name is American Cable News Network.
It was founded by Ted Turner in 1980 and has now grown into a pivotal media company in the American media industry, ranking 476th among the top 500 global brands.
At this time, in an office on the top floor, the company's founder Ted Turner had a sad face.
Because just now, he also received a message from the Internal Revenue Service in Los Angeles, asking him to go there tomorrow morning.
Everyone feels a little chilly when they think of Director David's various methods, and now he wants to see him by name.
But since people have come to visit him, if he dares not to see him, he will be disrespectful and will probably be punished even worse. He had no choice but to tell his secretary: "Please help me cancel my schedule tomorrow morning and make an appointment." Zhang’s ticket to Los Angeles”
……
New York, Queens, CBS Headquarters.
CBS, whose full name is CBS, is one of the three major national commercial radio and television networks in the United States.
Established in 1927, television broadcasting was officially launched in 1941, and color television was broadcast in 1954.
In 1987, it directly operated 5 TV stations, 6 AM radio stations, and 7 FM radio stations in New York and other cities.
There are also more than 200 TV stations that participate in the broadcast network through contractual relationships, forming a national radio and television network.
In December 2018, the World Brand Laboratory released the "Top 500 World Brands 2018" list. CBS ranked 371st, making it a well-deserved giant in the American media industry.
At this time, in the CEO's office, a woman in her early thirties with a wavy hairstyle was frowning.
She is the current CEO of CBS, Sally Redstone.
It was not until a full five minutes passed that she said to a woman standing opposite: "Book a ticket to Los Angeles."
The next day, the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service The first media tycoon was ushered in, and it was John Malone who was living near the water in Los Angeles.
Because he hadn't arrived yet, the IRS staff arranged for him to wait in the rest area temporarily.
But soon, when he saw a few people approaching not far away, his eyes suddenly became sharp, because the people who came were none other than Sally Redstone and her party.
When Sally saw John sitting here, her expression was stunned for a moment.
The media circle is such a big one, and as the two of them are giants in the circle, they naturally know each other.
"Ms. Sally, why are you here too?"
Today David not only called him over, but also the CEO of CBC. It must be something complicated, so John came up to him immediately and wanted to exchange opinions.
"Yes, Mr. John, you were also invited here by Director David, right?"
John showed a wry smile and nodded.
"Mr. John, Ms. Sally, why are you here too!"
While the two were talking, a surprised sound suddenly came from behind them. After looking back, Sally and John He was stunned again.
The visitor turned out to be CNN’s boss, Ted Turner!
In other words, David did not just meet with one of them today, but also invited all three giants in the American media industry!
Wait a minute...
Since the three of them have been invited, there won’t be others next, right?
Or maybe... Murdoch was also invited?
While the three of them were still thinking, Keppel came over and said to the three of them: "Mr. Ted, Mr. John, Ms. Sally, our director can see you."
The three people who heard this suddenly came back to their senses, and even looked at each other involuntarily.
Now that David can see them, it means that there are only the three of them today and no one else.
But that’s not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the majority of the American media industry is basically controlled by Murdoch's News Corporation.
The remaining companies can either only rely on, be controlled, or directly become subsidiaries. Basically, only the three of them are still struggling to support it.
The reason why they are able to resist being annexed or controlled by News Corporation is not because of how strong they are, but because antitrust laws protect them.
If it weren’t for this protection law, with the strength of News Corporation and the Freemasons, they would have been annexed long ago.
And now the News Corporation led by Murdoch is launching a public attack on David. At this juncture, the three of them were specifically found. Could it be said...
The three of them seemed to have guessed something. , but in order to verify whether it was true, they could only quickly follow Keppel and came to the door of the director's office.
"Come in."
Listening to the voice coming from inside, Keppel pushed the door open and entered. After the three of John entered, she walked out and closed the door.
“Mr. John, Mr. Ted, Ms. Sally, thank you for coming to see me today.”
“Director David, please cooperate with the tax investigation. This is what we American citizens should do. I have some responsibility..."
"John is right, since you have invited Director David, we have to come over no matter how busy we are."
"That's right."
It can be said that the three of them haven't slept well all night since receiving David's notice, but now that they are here, they still have to do some superficial work.
