Negative effects are spreading to News Corp.'s business in the United States. Murdoch was "forced", and independent directors of News Corporation's board hope that Murdoch will announce its succession plan as soon as possible to allay shareholders' concerns.

Although the newspapers involved in the scandal represent only a small part of News Corp's media empire, the eavesdropping scandal has caused the value of News Corp to shrink by billions of dollars, and the stock price has fallen from $ 18.34 when the scandal broke to $ 12.97. The Murdoch family's market value in News Corp. has also shrunk by $ 1.5 billion.

When news of Rebecca Brooks, the former president of News International, was circulated in the UK, shareholders began to sell a large number of shares, and News Corporation's stock price fell further. Standard & Poor's downgrade of its credit rating is undoubtedly worse.

Shareholders of News Corporation were originally divided into several factions. In the past, Murdoch could be strongly suppressed. However, now the internal silent force in the group has begun to rise. The strongest of them supports News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Peter Chenen to take over his position.

Internal and external troubles, Murdoch had to drag his tired and physically tired old body, and met Andy Smith, who was madly shorting News Corp., the hungry wolf of Wall Street!

Rockefeller Center, the classical and luxurious office with two doors open, gorgeous decoration in the office, strong colors, showing grace and luxury. Under the European-style gorgeous chandelier, Andy Smith in a straight suit, stepping on the carpet full of classic beauty, looked at Murdoch walking to the door with a smile, stepped forward to greet him, and when he was two steps away, Andy reached out his hand.

"Good morning, Rupert, I missed you, sorry."

Murdoch's face had no smile under his fashionable Panama hat. He reached out his hand and shook Andy.

"You're welcome. The winner always has to be a winner."

"Oh, please"

For the sharp edge in Murdoch's words, Andy did not avoid, but smiled and accepted it freely. He didn't need to pretend, he was a winner.

The two walked to the luxurious lounge area and sat opposite each other on the soft sofa. Murdoch took off his Panama straw hat, and a pair of gloomy eyes stared at smiling Andy, relatively speechless.

"Your coffee, please slow down"

Soon, wearing a chiffon white shirt with a black bag tun group, the black assistant's little assistant brought coffee, Murdoch's eyes fell on the little assistant's smiling face with dimples, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, faint Said: "It has been well-known for a long time. I saw it today, and it looks like a rare, unfortunate."

Looking at Murdoch on the opposite side, words like "“ "and" skinny "are not enough to describe his current state. Andy, who was a little sneered, heard the ridicule and ridicule in the other person's words and shook his head and laughed. Reaching out very gently, "Taste it, this is the top-level Blue Mountain coffee, and with her technology, it is an unparalleled one."

The little assistant who looks like someone in the UK is nothing new. The rare thing in his words is to tease Andy that it is rare to find such a godlike thing, but unfortunately he mocks Andy, what is fake is fake.

"Oh, is that it? It really needs to be tasted." Murdoch raised his brow slightly and raised his coffee cup.

Andy also picked up the fragrant coffee, smiled slightly, took a sip, with smiling eyes, looking at Murdoch, who seemed to be concentrating on tasting coffee, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became more pronounced. .

The old fox, he did n’t want to admit defeat, he still wanted to take the initiative, but unfortunately, the fish on the chopping board, how he jumped, could not escape that sword!

Even though Murdoch decisively used the warriors to break their wrists and abandon the trick of car security, and promised to shut down the 168-year-old World News and abandon the acquisition of British Sky Broadcasting, it is still difficult to calm the public anger. A word of thanks, the goodbye stoppage, and the autographed letter of apology from the Seven Newspapers failed to put an end to the eavesdropping incident, and the situation is still moving towards a more severe situation.

Under the unanimous condemnation of world opinion, Murdoch and his empire became "trembling old men" and "trembling empires." In addition to the internal and external troubles, Murdoch's other blow is undoubtedly the prince.

According to the news, News Corps has voiced doubts about whether 38-year-old James Murdoch is still the most popular candidate to replace Murdoch. News Corp shareholders not only doubted James' crisis management ability, but also mocked his lack of editing experience, and even Proposed to let his strategy resign.

What's more deadly is that in the United States, FBI has begun investigating reports from News Corp.'s newspaper reporters overhearing the victims of the 9.11 incident. Well, News Corps's most tragic end will be the conviction of ethics violations, and its US television station's operating license will be revoked in accordance with the US Federal Communications Act. This is undoubtedly worse for Murdoch News.

To be honest, Andy admires Murdoch and Murdoch's News Corporation. News Corporation is definitely one of the largest and most international integrated media companies in the world. It owns the 20th Century Fox Film Company. , Fox Broadcasting Corporation, Fox News Channel, international dating site myspae, and newspapers and satellite TV in the UK and Australia. An absolute giant, Murdoch can be called the first and possibly the last "media tycoon" in the world.

If possible, Andy naturally wants to directly defeat or annex the other party. Unfortunately, at this time, he is really incapable.

"Snapped"

Murdoch put the coffee cup in his hand on the table, stared blankly at Andy, his eyes sharp and gloomy, and said indifferently, "When are you going to stop?"

Hearing the other party's arrogant accusation, Andy was not angry, but put down the coffee cup with a smile, leaned back on the sofa with a loose back, spread his hands, and chuckled: "It was a long time ago on Wall Street. I just remember that it was a magical place, and my heart was full of longing.

Grow up slowly, and the impression of it is only the sleepless capital era, sleepless Wall Street. Even because of his innocence, he had disdain for Wall Street ... Hehe "

Andy shook his head and laughed. His smile was full of self-deprecating, and he didn't care what he said was not what Murdoch wanted to hear, but stopped talking to himself: "I wo n’t know until I really go in. It is a financial network that is scattered to the world. This network is strong and fragile, bright and dark. This network can both accelerate and suffocate the economy. He is Wall Street!

give up? At this time it was profiting from the strangulation, Rupert, you know, capital does not believe in tears!

Oh, I know, many people behind me say that I am a hungry wolf on Wall Street, a greedy vampire, but I do n’t care, just like I do n’t care about the method, I just care about winning or losing. My chief think tank once taught me: “ If you want to find friends on Wall Street, then find a dog. The outside world is a close fight.

Andy said with a smirk in his eyes, as if he smelled a **** shark and subconsciously touched his mouth.

Murdoch frowned in silence. He knew better than anyone else that behind the flourishing world of New York was an unknown **** assassination. Those big consortia could do anything for their benefit. Yes, the race for capital will always be a tireless and dangerous struggle.

"The New York Post has a weekly headline with an apology letter to you and your family ... and, I promise, all the News Corporation-owned media will not report your lace news from today!

I know you have always wanted to take back the copyright of X-Men, and I can promise to give you back half of the copyright. Marvel can use mutants ... "

"Haha ..."

Andy laughed and interrupted Murdoch's words. He laughed until Murdoch's face turned black, and his brow was tightly wrinkled, so that the wrinkles on his forehead could almost pinch the flies, and then slowly converged his smile. Burning, cold mang flashing, sneer on the cold face.

"Rupert, you are really old. Whether you ca n’t help it or not, the new era is a cruel reality of" winners take all. "You really thought that what you said about this self-righteous condition can replace it. Hundreds of millions of dollars?

Do not be silly! "

Listening to the sneer and sarcasm, Murdoch shuddered all over his body, his eyes full of anger and staring at Andy, like a man choosing a man to bite the old wolf, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really going to die?"
