Chapter 1946 is not too much
Never die?
Andy didn't care about Murdoch's threat of being a little sarcastic, and even sneered at it. He knew his own affairs, and the only thing that Andy Smith could catch was nothing more than the romantic affairs of "I am sick". The biggest trouble was Charlize Sellon and Laura Little.
But, is Andy really scared?
When walking by the river often, there is no reason not to wet your shoes. Andy knows better than anyone else. He doesn't expect that those things will never be discovered. Even if he is careful every time, he is still ready to be exposed one day.
To be honest, with Andy's current status and wealth, as long as the woman doesn't come out to cause trouble, even if she is photographed with some specious photos, he can smooth things out.
Having said that, will Murdoch on the opposite side really stay with him Andy Smith? Especially in the form of personal hatred?
You should know that whether it is exposing the "buy news" scandal or shorting News Group, Andy has always used light means to carry out normal business battles with normal business means. If public grudges are really turned into private grudges, Murdoch, the old fox's cunning, would never make private grudges with Andy.
Andy, the richest man in the world, is too young. Murdoch, who is nearly 80 years old, has the biggest wish now to leave more legacy to his family and the group and ensure that the group remains stable in the next century.
If there was an endless private enemy like Andy, it was really unimaginable that his children would be killed by this evil young man in front of him one day in the future without his protection.
What's more, Murdoch is a pure businessman!
For Murdoch, the consideration of journalism is only second, and profit ranks first.
Just like when people talk about great people in journalism with relish, people never talk about Rupert Murdoch with Pulitzer and Catherine Graham, even if he has achieved business success in the media than any of them, even if he always declares that "I have been a newspaperman since I was a baby, and I have just loved newspapers." People never list him as one of the great people in journalism.
Because behind the huge business halo, his "title-like" way of pursuing business interests is constantly being criticized and criticized by people. In the eyes of many people, Murdoch is just a somewhat "shameless" newspaper speculator, and he is still far from the goal of nobleness.
Andy also believed that Murdoch didn't care at all what others said. Because, judging by Murdoch's actions, he might not have thought of turning himself into a person with humanistic sentiment and noble ideals. His identity is completely a businessman, and newspapers are just a tool for him to make money.
After all, whether it is newspapers or TV stations, it is still a business act, and Murdoch's biggest interest is to make money.
Therefore, in the face of Murdoch's threat, Andy smiled very unrestrainedly, and even showed a look of contempt on his face.
"Haha... I'll never die? Why? With the 30% stake in News Corp. and 39% voting rights controlled by you and your family? The media empire with a market value of $68 billion... Tsk tsk, you don't think I don't have the ability to become the largest shareholder, squeeze you away, and completely marginalize the Murdoch family, right?"
At this time, the expression on Murdoch's old face became extremely wonderful. He was shocked with a hint of panic and slow fear, but he still said coldly with compulsive calmness: "You can't do it!"
"Maybe." Andy leaned leisurely on the sofa, wrapped his arms around him, looked at Murdoch with a smile, and said calmly: "Maybe I couldn't do it when you were there, but I'm only 25 years old this year, I can wait. My biggest advantage is that I have patience and like to prepare for the future. If it doesn't work for 10 years, it's only 20 years. At that time, I was only 45 years old."
Looking at Murdoch, whose face was pale and paler, Andy raised his lips and said arrogantly: "To put it bluntly, youth is my greatest capital, the future! The future of the world belongs to me, because I am young enough and have huge wealth, so believe me, as long as I want, I will definitely be able to do it!"
"call"
Murdoch looked at Andy who showed a sharp edge, and made him feel a sense of frustration and depression that he had never experienced before. He leaned on the back of the sofa like a deflated ball, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's great to be young!"
"Yes, it's great to be young!" Andy smiled and said in agreement.
At this time, Murdoch looked a little weak, showing his old look, with a tired smile on his face, his voice became gentle, and his tone was full of helplessness: "If you have any requirements, you can say it, it's not too much, I'm willing to accept it."
"From the beginning to the end, I am a victim, and I am famous, right?" Andy asked back with a faint smile, and continued to say in Murdoch's bitter smile: "I have never been a greedy person, so my conditions will never be excessive, but I will never accept objections. Once I say it, it will be the final result. Can you accept it?"
Murdoch's old dissatisfied with the pleated face turned slightly red, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes. However, after a moment of silence, he finally nodded expressionlessly.
"Since you agree, then I'll just say it!" Andy also restrained his smile, sat upright, leaned forward slightly, maintaining a sense of oppression, and said lightly.
"First, the New York Post closed its doors, compensated 50 million yuan, and reached a settlement, I will withdraw the lawsuit... Don't be excited, this is undiscussed!" Andy reached out to stop Murdoch, whose lips were trembling with anger, and said coldly: "If you want it to go bankrupt, let it go bankrupt. I have to keep my word. I just want to use its fate to tell everyone, don't mess with me and my family!"
Seeing Andy's originally handsome face becoming extremely ferocious and full of cold roars, Murdoch was also startled, frowning and opened his mouth, and finally leaned back to the sofa, and said coldly with expressionless face: "Continue!"
"Second, I want to take back all copyrights of the mutant and take them back for free! You can continue to use the X-Men IP to complete the existing shooting plan. The script needs to pass the Marvel acceptance. The shooting plan must not exceed five, only existing characters, and no character derivatives or new character expansions are allowed!"
As soon as this condition came out, Murdoch was slightly stunned. Before he came, he was mentally prepared. The copyright issue of mutants would definitely become a condition that Andy Smith must give. He thought that Andy would take it back directly and regardless of it. Unexpectedly, the conditions would be like this, which was really beyond his expectations.
Andy saw Murdoch's surprise, but he was not the kind of person who could kill him... Bah! Well, it's mainly because the 20th Century Fox has filmed the X-Men series very successfully. Andy took back the mutants in order to make the Marvel cinema universe larger and more selective. As for taking over the X-Men series that has entered the later stage, it's really not much meaning, but it's a trouble. It's better to continue to hand it over to Fox and let them continue filming, expanding the influence of the X-Men IP, and ultimately benefiting from Marvel, which has already reclaimed the copyright.
"Third, we both signed a memorandum of understanding. News Corp. must promise that from the date of signing the agreement, no negative news about me personally shall be reported. If it violates and causes serious and bad effects, News Corp. will compensate me $1 billion!"
"It's too much!" Murdoch frowned and said coldly.
"Haha, it's not an exaggeration. I said that it will trigger the compensation agreement if it causes serious adverse effects, right?" Andy asked back with a smile, sneering in his heart. He believed that the old guy must have his own black material in his hand. Although he didn't know what it was, he could directly eliminate it from the root. As for whether the old fox would impolite him, handing the black material to a third-party media, Andy was also on guard and would state it in the memorandum of understanding and would also impose restrictions.
Although this kind of restriction will not be very effective, it is better than nothing. We can only be more careful when stealing fish in the future.
"Are there only these three conditions?" Murdoch looked at Andy coldly and asked in a cold voice.
"There are only three, and you should also see my sincerity in solving the problem, so refuse to bargain!" Andy said with a smile.
"Okay, I agree!"
Chapter completed!
