My Age of Investment

   Chapter 699

  Beverly Hills, inside a semi-circular villa.

In the hall where Xia Jingxing and foreign girls were once hosted, Murdoch, his wife Wendi Deng, and his son James Murdoch were chatting happily with representatives of the Directors Guild of America, Screenwriters Guild, Actors Guild and other groups, and burst into laughter from time to time. .

   "Mr. Murdoch, you can rest assured that this is an act of safeguarding the common interests of our film and television circles, and our Directors Association is obliged to do so."

  The directors of the Directors Guild showed a very angry look, and then began to scold the tubing again, talking about tubing’s disrespect for intellectual property rights and infringement of the legitimate rights and interests of others.

With the first person to take the lead, screenwriters, actors, music and other association representatives have also spoken. They all said that they will follow the pace of News Corporation and sue YouTube together, and they will also mobilize the forces in their respective circles to let members of the association join together. Criticizing the army of tubing.

   Seeing this, Old Murdoch let out a long series of triumphant laughs.

  Many directors, screenwriters, and actors in the United States have the right to share the subsequent income of their works. The proportion may not be large, but it is not a small amount of money if it accumulates over time.

  Currently, YouTube abuses copyright, not only harming the interests of the production company to which the copyright belongs, but also offending the film and television practitioners.

  Among them, there are many famous directors, famous screenwriters, and star actors.

  These people are not so famous, as long as they raise their arms, they will definitely gather followers.

  Considering this, Murdoch emphasized: “This is not only a matter of our production company, but also a matter of major associations, but also a matter of all practitioners.

  I hope that everyone will unite and win this lawsuit together. In addition to recovering some losses, we also show the outside world the power of our film and television industry. "

  As soon as Murdoch's voice fell, some people began to spit their feet.

   "Mr. Murdoch said that we must show our unity to the outside world."

   "Piracy is rampant, Internet companies are not benevolent, we all have to act!"

   "Thanks to Mr. Murdoch taking the lead, otherwise we are all at a loss. How can we find the right direction to defend our rights."

  ……

  Listening to this bunch of rainbow farts, Murdoch's mouth rose slightly.

  He is now to unite all the forces that can be united to give the oil pipeline the most deadly blow.

  If the court is the first battlefield, then the public opinion field is the second battlefield.

  These people can be regarded as the reinforcements he sought for the second battlefield.

  Among them, he most values ​​is the Actors Guild.

  There are a large number of world-renowned actors in this association. Fans are calculated on the order of tens of millions and hundreds of millions, and all of them have great influence.

  If even these people speak out to boycott the tubing, expressing that they will be held accountable for the tubing, then the tubing will inevitably fall under the wind in the direction of public opinion.

  At that time, News Corp. will use its media to help fuel the flames. It is believed that it will let YouTube experience what it means to be embarrassed on all sides.

  At this time, a representative of the Music Association asked: "Hey, yes, Mr. Murdoch, I heard that Bill Gates decided to invest in tubing. Are you concerned about this?"

   Murdoch said indifferently: "Isn't that good? There is new financing coming in, just to pay our compensation."

   "Hahaha~"

  The people in the room all laughed, and instantly understood Murdoch’s thoughts.

  The old man will not stop this action because of Gates' intervention.

  As an friendly army, seeing that Murdoch, who is the main battle, is so determined to fight, their hearts are relieved.

  After communicating in detail for a while, Murdoch asked his son to send away this group of invited reinforcements.

  After a while, James returned to the banquet hall.

  "Father, the influence of these people is still very limited in the final analysis. If I say, we still have to start with the members of the two houses to promote the revision of the copyright bill..."

  Murdoch's complexion remained unchanged, but he was scolding his son in his heart. The real councillors are all their domestic slaves, and if they say that they amend the bill, they will be amended.

   "James, you have to remember that giving and gaining are always equal."

  Murdoch stared at his son. After a while, the old man sighed: “Unfortunately, those short-sighted guys are blinded by such a small amount of profit. Otherwise, our six major companies will take action together and things will become much easier.”

   James spread his hands, "Can't it be done without them? We have evidence of their crimes in our hands."

   "Shut up!"

   Murdoch sternly scolded his son, and looked around. There were only two of them, father and son, in the room. Wendi Deng had just been driven away by him, and the conversation environment was still very safe.

  "Are you an idiot? This is our hole card. We must not use it until the critical moment!"

  James also realized that he had said the wrong thing. This is their core secret. If it is leaked, I am afraid that News Corporation will have to take off a layer of skin if it is not dead.

   "Okay, father, I see." James Urn said in a puffed voice.

  Murdoch looked at his low-talented son and sighed in his heart. There is no successor!

  When his son was studying at Harvard University, he did not choose the business administration major or the journalism related to the family business, which is the favorite of the wealthy children. Instead, he went to study film and history major.

  When he was in his junior year, he dropped out of school and ran to start a hip-hop music record company with two classmates.

  The business is fairly successful, with an annual profit of 2.5 million U.S. dollars.

  But insiders know that the reason why many singers want to sign with James’ record company is entirely because of the surname “Murdoch”. It has little to do with James’ personal efforts.

  Finally, he acquired his son’s record company, and James “returned to righteousness” and began his professional career at News Corporation.

  From the manager of the digital media department of Fox TV in the United States, to the chairman of Asia Star TV, and now the president of British Sky Broadcasting.

  Old Murdoch placed a lot of expectations on his son, hoping that he would not lose his father’s reputation.

  However, James' performance is mediocre, and his performance can be described as lackluster.

  Not brilliant, nor messed up.

  However, mediocrity is a kind of decline for their kind of family.

   Murdoch just wanted to educate his son when James’ cell phone rang suddenly.

  "What did you say? MySpace website was hacked? Is the technical department all waste? It's been half an hour and hasn't been repaired?"

  James answered the phone, and after listening for a few seconds, he began to yell at him with an angry expression.

  Murdoch vaguely heard the words "hacking", "website paralysis" and other words, and he felt a little uneasy. Seeing his son hung up the phone, he was just about to ask a question, and James' phone rang again.

  "The Dow Jones and Wall Street Journal websites are also down? Fack squid, do you know how important the Dow Jones financial index is? How many financial companies need to access it at any time...

  I will give you half an hour, if you can’t fix the website, I will fix you. "

  Murdoch frowned as he looked at his son who was becoming more and more maniac, and the feeling of anxiety in his heart became heavier.

  Murdoch was about to question, his cell phone rang...

  "Across the 50 states, crowds of protests appeared at the entrance of hundreds of movie theaters? Fox TV network suffered massive unsubscription?"

   Immediately, Murdoch, who has a good self-cultivation, also began to yell at him, even worse than his son James.

  The banquet hall, which was still full of laughter and laughter just now, suddenly became smoky, full of foul language for the two fathers and sons to greet their genital organs.

  Hung up one phone call. Before the father and son could say a few words, the next phone rang again.

  At this moment, News Corporation’s industries all over the world are flying to the U.S. headquarters like snowflakes. The management at the headquarters dared not neglect, and hurriedly reported to Murdoch and his son.

  Almost half an hour later, the phone calls finally became thinner.

  James hung up a call, feeling a bit dry, licking his dry lips, and looking back, he found that his father was clutching his lower body, his face was painful, and there was a large water stain on the ground.

   "Father, what's the matter with you?" James hurried over to support the old man, his voice anxious.

   "James...hurry...send me to the hospital, my bladder feels like it has exploded." Because the whole person was too painful, Murdoch was a little weak even to speak.

  James suddenly turned pale, but the old man has prostate cancer.

  In the past few years after the diagnosis, I did not use a scalpel to cut the area, and have been undergoing radiochemotherapy.

  The condition has improved greatly. Who knows that this happened today.

  In a panic, James, who was frightened, began to scream for help.

  The whole villa suddenly jumped up and down.

  Finally, Murdoch was carried into a car on a stretcher by several bodyguards and hurried to the hospital...
