Chapter 191 Things are getting interesting

On the big bed in his own bedroom, Tommy gently embraced Ottilia who was soft on his side: "There are really so many people in the world who need your help? It makes you forget that there is one in California. A man who is also anxiously waiting for you?"

  Otilia slightly tilted her head towards Tommy's chin, and after making herself more comfortable, said lazily, "Of course not, Tommy, how could you be willing to forget you."

"It's hard to say, if you meet a handsome and poor man overseas, you will be grateful to you for your help, and with your help, you will change your own destiny and become more outstanding and dazzling, just like the gift you gave Give me that box of books, and I am what I am today. If that man stood up and said, Otilia wants to see the world with me? Then maybe you will forget that I am still anxiously waiting in California. "

"Haha~" Otilia laughed happily, she turned around, leaned on Tommy's body and asked with a smile: "So, if a man really shows love to me, what should you do?" ?”

"I don't need to do anything, Ottilia, my dear, let's put it this way, any man who looks at you overseas, your security team will teach him for me, otherwise you think, why Jim insists that I take responsibility for you It’s not a small amount of money to find a group of ruthless men and women to protect your beautiful wife.” Tommy smiled and kissed Otilia’s lips lightly, and said.

Ottilia bit Tommy's lips with her teeth in dissatisfaction: "This is not a standard answer, Tommy, you should say that you will perform even better in dealing with love and family. There is no other man in this world who can make my heart flutter."

   "Don't worry, no one can love you more than me. If there is, the bodyguard will take action." Tommy finished with a smile, and then kissed the other party's lips.

After a long time, Otilia stood up on top of Tommy, looked down at her boyfriend and said, "By the way, my mother said, let me thank you, the last time she and my father came to Los Angeles for a short weekend trip , you helped them get invitations to a star-studded movie premiere, where they got to see a new movie for free, and even took photos with a few of their favorite stars."

   "Does this need to say thank you?" Tommy said.

   "I mean~" Ottilia looked at her boyfriend below her with rolling eyes: "Did my mother remind you of something?"

Tommy turned his eyes to the side, avoiding Ottilia's gaze on him, and said in a casual tone: "Of course, Mrs. Farrell reminded me not to go to the cinema to spend money to watch that movie, because it was very boring. , your father reminded me that the heroine is not my type, so there is no need to waste money."

   "Tommy~" Otilia patted Tommy's chest lightly, and said angrily, "How does my father know what kind of woman you like? Don't make fun of him."

   "Of course he knows, Otilia, because the woman I like is his precious daughter." Tommy said confidently, but he didn't look at Otilia and met her.

"I know they said other things to you, but you don't want to tell me now, do you? Forget it, don't force yourself." Otilia sighed slightly after seeing Tommy avoiding her gaze. Then wanted to flip off Tommy.

  Tommy put Otilia down with both hands, and looked up at the naked girlfriend: "If you want to say, they reminded me to propose to you, yes, they reminded me."

   "So?" Seeing that Tommy finally gave the answer she wanted, Ottilia put her body on Tommy again and asked happily.

  Tommy stroked Ottilia's long golden hair: "So, before I prepare the wedding gift, I will not disclose the specific date and any arrangements. Women like surprises, right?"

"I don't want to push you, Tommy, just... hope you remember that you haven't done this to me, and I've been looking forward to it, especially since my mother called and told me she reminded you of it. Otilia raised her head slightly, looked at Tommy, and said with some guilt: "I'm just worried that you forget that we are not officially married yet."

  Tommy looked back at Otilia seriously, and said, "There will be a surprise waiting for you, Otilia, I promise, you know I won't lie to you."

   "Okay, I want to reward you, Tommy~" Obtaining Tommy's promise, Otilia straightened her upper body, put her hands on Tommy's chest, and said with a smile.

  Tommy rolled his eyes a few times, and asked, "You mean to wear back your high school female teacher's uniform and play games with your classmate Tommy, Miss Otilia Farrell?"

   "If you like, classmate Tommy, I will ask Dorothy to help me prepare the clothes." Ottilia heard Tommy's words, and was about to get out of the car to let Dorothy help her prepare the clothes.

  Seeing that Otilia was about to prepare for the next game within fifteen minutes of the last game, Tommy immediately stopped her:

   "No, no, wait a minute, during the intermission that just ended, I have a small matter that needs your help, I mean a small matter at work."

   "Wow, this surprises me more than you asking me to dress up as a teacher to please you. You need my help at work?" Otilia looked at Tommy in astonishment.

"I know that you came to California this time not just to accompany me, but because of the Leap Racial Rainbow Organization founded by a black lawyer Earl Rush, you, Mrs. Clinton, and several members of the New World Foundation , come to its inaugural dinner." Tommy lazily stretched out his arms, picked up a cigarette from the bedside table and lit one, and said to Otilia.

  Otilia stroked her long hair with her hand: "It sounds like you know better than me about my itinerary in Los Angeles."

"Of course, the Leaping Racial Rainbow Organization can't afford to invite you people to stand on the platform. I asked Sophia to donate a total of 300,000 yuan to the New World Foundation in other names in exchange for you philanthropists to give speeches at the dinner." Tommy said frankly.

   There is no need to hide this kind of thing from Otilia, because it is not something shady.

  Otilia picked up Tommy's large white shirt from the bed, put it on her upper body, and said doubtfully while fastening the buttons: "You ask your girlfriend to help you give a speech, and you have to donate money?"

"It's okay, it's not my money anyway, listen to me, Ottilia, there was a biracial female guest at the dinner named Georgia Roseblum, a widow, I hope you guys, after the speech, and She has plenty of time to talk, and that's a poor woman, and she needs the help and advice of you successful women to get through this." Tommy put the cigarette in his mouth, sighed, and seemed to understand what was mentioned in the words. The widow was quite sympathetic:

"Her husband is Carol Roseblum, the owner of the NFL Los Angeles Rams, but Carol died on a beach in Florida a few years ago. It is said that he died of accidental drowning while swimming. It is strange that The other guy didn't know how to swim at all, but the cause of death is not important. What is important is that after his death, the Los Angeles Rams are now owned by his relatives. Georgia is Carroll's second wife, and he is also with the first. Mrs. Ren gave birth to five children, and now the two sides are fighting for property. The five children want to drive this poor widow out without giving her a penny. This widow is a mulatto. Self-identifying as a black person, right, is the black person Leap Race needs to help."

   "This is the importance of the original family." Otilia expressed her thoughts after hearing five unrelated children compete with this woman for the family property.

  Tommy said with some sighs:

"In addition to the chairman of the board of directors of the New World Foundation, Mrs. Clinton also serves as the chairman of the board of directors of the American Foundation for the Legal Defense of Children and Women. She is also one of the most famous female lawyers in the United States. She has helped countless women like Georgia provide legal advice. Help, I think, if she would, Georgia might not end up being wiped out by her five children, too bad for her, Ottilia, that woman can't afford a lawyer, and now she has to Can count on Earl's free consultation…”

"I'll call Diane right away. She doesn't like shopping. She's probably busy processing various documents in the hotel right now." After hearing Tommy's description, Otilia walked to the landline next to her and dialed a series of numbers. .

The call was quickly connected, and Otilia told Hillary on the other side about the poor widow named Georgia, but after hearing this, Hillary on the other side did not rush to give advice, but kept on Asked various detailed questions.

  This allows Tommy to pat Otilia's shoulder just right:

   "My dear, I obviously know the details better, you can go change clothes and prepare rewards for me."

  Otilia kissed Tommy, and said to Hillary on the phone: "Diane, I'll ask Tommy to introduce. He knows more details than me."

   "Okay, Otilia, hello, Tommy, I'm so curious that Otilia and I have known each other for so long, and we haven't had a chance to meet you." Hilary said with a smile on the phone.

Tommy watched his girlfriend walk out of the bedroom in a vacuum in a white shirt, and then said into the receiver: "Otilia is out, Mrs. Clinton, let me retell the case, the Los Angeles Rams are currently very It may be that Georgia gets 15% of the equity, and her five non-biological children get the other 85%, but Georgia is not going to give any money to those white children. She hopes that if she can't get 100% of the team, she will at least get it Up to 75%, if successful, she is willing to transfer 5% to Otilia and you, as a thank you."

   "What is the current market value of this team?"

   "57 million."

   "How much do I need to buy 2.5% of the shares?"

   "How about 1,000 yuan? Just like you used 1,000 yuan to speculate in futures and made a profit of 120,000 yuan. The rate of return is amazing."

   “I’ll talk to her at the dinner party and give her some legal advice.”

   "I'm more curious about what you've gained, apart from Otilia's 2.5%?"

"It's all out of sympathy for her, Mrs. Clinton, so I just paid a token fee for next season's Los Angeles Rams road games in return, yes, plus introducing a black lawyer friend of mine to this poor widow , to see if it is possible to become her new husband."

   "Earl Rush?"

   "Earl Rush."

   "Then this woman is indeed very pitiful. Seeing her such a bumpy love experience, maybe she will get what she wants in business."

"Thanks, bye."

  …

  At three o'clock in the morning, in the meeting room of the KTTV headquarters in the Metropolitan Media Plaza on Sunset Boulevard in West Los Angeles.

  KTTV President Jamie Crosby stood in front of the window of the conference room, looking out at the quiet night.

Behind him is a large meeting room of 100 square meters. At this time, all KTTV employees above the middle level are standing. Come to this special meeting.

  Everyone holds a cup of espresso to refresh themselves.

   Just the convener of the meeting, Jamie Crosby kept his back to them, looked out the window, and didn't say a word.

  The silence given by the convener, the longer the silence lasts, the better the refreshing effect is than the coffee in their hands.

"It's been fifteen minutes since you entered this room." Forty-seven-year-old Jamie Crosby, wearing round tortoiseshell glasses, turned around, pushed the frame lightly with his fingers, and glanced blankly. At a glance:

"So, if your eyes haven't been poked blind by yourself, you should notice that there are eleven familiar faces missing in this room. Including me, there are only fifty-two people left. I got Rupert - Mr. Murdoch's acquiescence, and then Mr. Murdoch sent me to help me. In fact, except for pointing fingers and showing off that he helped Mr. Murdoch take a photo of the most beautiful British woman, there is no help. The VP and his stupid *team members, each talking individually, kicked them out of KTTV, and now the room is full of people I brought or poached from CBS with my own hands."

Although Jamie's voice sounded dull, the words he said made everyone in the room feel relaxed subconsciously. This boss of himself is indeed a strongman. It seems that after Fox acquired KTTV, the three major factions in the TV station The battle finally came to an end. Led by Crosby, the CBS faction finally won a big victory and dominated KTTV.

  The original team of KTTV was exiled to Seattle by Jamie in the name of Murdoch because of a different philosophy from Murdoch.

   Then the vice president and his management team sent by Murdoch to monitor them were also completely expelled tonight.

  Everyone is refreshed, and no one can interfere with their thinking, work or even the taste of tea.

"I don't suggest you to be happy too early, because I talk to those people alone because I still maintain the most basic respect for them, and you obviously don't deserve me to do this, which is why I asked all of you to gather here, You don't deserve it." Jamie Crosby walked to the conference table, picked up a cup of coffee in front of his men, smelled the aroma, and looked at everyone:

   "Doesn't smell like local LA."

  A woman from the administrative department introduced: "Guatemala imports coffee beans at a purchase price of ten yuan per pound."

"The benefits are good, right? Imported coffee beans are supplied like water. When I recruited you to follow me, I have fulfilled the promises I made to you. I tell you that you will have a job with a better salary. It is a higher job than NBC. I will be like a mine-clearing soldier, clearing away all obstacles in the way for you. As of tonight, it took a year and two months. I did it. The relationship between us, in the Tonight, we will also enter the second stage from the first stage." Jamie Crosby put down the cup of coffee, looked at everyone with a calm face, and said calmly:

   "If in the first stage, you are my close comrades-in-arms and indispensable relatives, then in the second stage, you are the **** in my eyes that I can't wait to throw out at any time."

  Everyone was in an uproar.

  Jamie looked at everyone and opened his hands: "How many people think KTTV's ratings are not bad?"

Most of the people present raised their hands. After all, before they joined KTTV, KTTV ranked sixth in California ratings. With the help of people like them, in just one year, the ratings have stabilized at the third to fourth place, and even reached the second place occasionally, which is a significant improvement.

  Perhaps, this achievement is also the main reason why Murdoch can tolerate Jamie Crosby kicking out KTTV from KTTV with the cronies he sent to monitor.

"You seem to have forgotten that you are from the CBS TV network with the highest ratings in the United States, and from WCBS New York, the flagship TV station with the highest ratings in the CBS TV network. I spent every late night, but since you came to Los Angeles, you seem to have forgotten what it means to work hard. Every night at seven o’clock, I saw that the lights in your office were almost all turned off, so I asked Mr. Murdoch to pay for it. A lot of money, calling you to come to Los Angeles to retire?" Jamie looked like a hawk, scanning everyone sharply:

"If it weren't for the series, variety shows, and KTTV produced by Fox with real money, would KTTV be able to stabilize at the third to fourth place? Don't be kidding, you can't even beat CNNfn, FNN, these local California TV kids. I used to focus on cleaning up the interior, so you must stabilize your military spirit, but now that the internal enemy has been eliminated, I must confess to you that you are a pile of shit. For example, the most proud of the news department The self-made news talk show, the host and the guests are as serious as the **** negotiations between the Confederate States and the United States, it is really full of depth, every time I can’t wait to pray devoutly first, and then watch it respectfully!"

  When Jamie named the news department, everyone in the news department looked up at him.

Jamie looked back at the members of the news department indifferently: "Don't copy the set of WCBS news here, we need more sensational social news, not **** in-depth conversations, people who like to watch "America's Most Wanted" Audience group, do you think they are interested in the topic of economic inflation that you have carefully prepared? Maybe they can’t even spell the word inflation, do you know what is sensational? There is a tabloid report that a member of the Democratic Party said that AIDS and the black race There is quite a strong connection, which tabloid? Of course it is Mr. Murdoch's "New York Post". He has already helped us prepare various eye-catching news in the newspaper. Sensational."

   "But Jamie, a news program is not a talk show. The news does not need to be sensational, but to have depth, so that the audience can learn to think." A middle-aged man in the news department questioned while holding a coffee cup.

"Johnny, right? Johnny Moon, I remember you, you've been fired, go home and get a good night's sleep, and then come to handle the handover tomorrow." Jamie first pointed out the other party's name, and then simply announced After making his own decision, he immediately looked at the others:

"Who else is trying to articulate the need for depth in journalism to Rupert Murdoch, a sleazy journalism pioneer like The Sun? If anyone, leave with Johnny. If you don't even like your own boss If you don’t know, it’s better not to stand up and show what you think is right, but in fact it will only make people laugh, and your stupid suggestions will cover up your strengths, Johnny.”

  Running here in a hurry late at night, but in the end only got Johnny who was named and fired, holding a coffee cup and standing there in a daze.

  Others were silent.

At this time, footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the secretary who had worked for Jamie Crosby for many years walked in, ignoring the presence of other people, and said to his boss in a somewhat eager tone: "Jamie, a colleague from the public relations department heard Sure news, the NFL Los Angeles Rams' rights to broadcast away games next season seems to have new waves."

   "It's normal, there is always someone who can offer a higher price, so is it KNBC from NBC, or GCTV from CBS?" Jamie was very indifferent when he heard the bad news.

  In the television industry, everything goes to the one with the highest price. If you can’t get it, it must be because someone offered a higher price.

"No, my colleagues in the public relations department said that a TV station called BTTV seems to have launched an in-depth cooperation with Georgia." From the secretary's mouth, Jamie did not name the two strong competitors, but a completely unfamiliar name. .

  Jamie turned around and looked at the secretary: "Did the **** come out of the watermelon field, why have I never heard of this name?"

   "That's what I'm going to say, not only you, our colleagues in the public relations department have never heard of this TV station before." The secretary looked at Jamie with some anxiety, and said.

  Jamie walks back to the window, looking out the window at three o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles: "Things are getting interesting."
