Hillary Clinton personally lobbied to no avail, and the Hearst family finally responded to Simon's $1 offer on May 19.

The Hearst Group is willing to transfer its 20% stake in the espn TV network to Simon at a price of $1. In exchange, the Westeros system must lift the ban on the Hearst Group and stop the lawsuit bombing. The Hearst family also offered a settlement totaling $120 million in the lawsuit.

The shares of espn can be described as the most root cause of the conflict between the two sides.

Three years ago, the troubled Reynolds Nabisco sold off the espn shares held in its hands. The Hearst family used their influence in the media industry to half-coax and half-threat to force Simon to give up the bid. In the end, it was $180 million. The low price of this TV network acquired 20% of the shares of the TV network, and the transaction price was significantly lower than the valuation generally given by the industry of 200 to 300 million US dollars.

In the past three years, espn's shares have further increased with the development of this TV network. At present, the value of the 20% shares held by the Hearst family is no less than 300 million US dollars, which is actually the 1 US dollar that Simon took out. the fundamental purpose.

At its peak in memory, as a part of Disney, ESPN, which monopolized major sports events in North America, was valued at $50 billion, more valuable than abc TV network.

The investment of less than 200 million US dollars that Hearst Group initially bought 20% of the espn TV network has increased by dozens of times. Not only that, with the decline of the print media industry, only one-fifth of the espn shares brought revenue and profits. After many years, it accounted for more than half of the entire Hearst Group's revenue and profits, so the Hearst family was able to continue its status, not like the old paper media families such as the Graham family behind the Washington Post.

Simon gave the $1, and the most direct target was indeed the shares of espn, thus completely blocking the possibility of the Hearst Group transforming from a doomed simple paper media to a comprehensive media group.

However, the asking price of the Hearst family did not meet Simon's expectations.

Inside the mountain house in Woodside, San Francisco Bay Area.

The time is the afternoon of May 19th.

As for Andre Carney, a lawyer for the Hearst family who came from the east coast to try to negotiate with Simon, Simon just asked a girl to come forward to deal with the other party.

At this time, in the living room of the villa, Lady A was sitting on the sofa and said without much emotion in her voice: "Mr. Carney, about the shares of espn, the boss is basically satisfied, but the compensation for the six lawsuits, the boss said, one cent Nothing less."

Simon Westeros said the Hearst family only had one chance to make an offer, and Andre Carney was initially worried that in case Westeros was not satisfied with the offer, he might have to get a closed door, the Hearst family It will continue to be in a quagmire.

Now, as long as it can be negotiated, it is a good result.

Andre Carney wouldn't be foolish enough to take the initiative to care about Westeros saying he had only one chance to make an offer.

Although it was obvious that the girl in front of him seemed to be in a bad mood, Andre Carney still said: "Miss Knowles, the compensation amount of 370 million US dollars is too high, you should be aware that the current Hearst Group is fundamentally I can't get the money."

A girl said: "This is a matter of Hearst Group, and you have no room for bargaining."

As one of the most famous lawyers in New York, Andre Carney actually understands that the purpose of Westeros insisting on full compensation of 370 million US dollars is still to hope that the Hearst Group will continue to bleed. Now the Hearst Group, which wants to raise $370 million in the short term, has only one way to go, selling its media assets.

And it must be sold at a serious discount.

Now any investor who is interested in buying the media assets of Hearst Group will not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the fire.

After thinking for a moment, Andre Carney said: "Miss Knowles, insisting that the six lawsuits be paid in full will do no good to Mr. Westeros. Except for the attorney's fee, I don't believe that Mr. Westeros will get any further benefits. A share is drawn from the compensation, so why can't we take a step back?"

Girl a just shook her head and said, "This is what the boss means, and it's the final decision."

Andre Carney tried: "So, can I talk to Mr. Westeros in person?"

"cannot."

"Okay, I'll pass this on to Mr. Hearst," Andre Carney was actually just a messenger. After saying this, he added: "Also, the Westeros system must be contacted after the reconciliation between the two parties. What do you mean by the ban on the Hearst family, Miss Knowles, Mr. Westeros?"

A girl said: "The boss said that the ban can be lifted, but the Westeros system still won't have any cooperation with the Hearst Group?"

Andre Carney couldn't help but ask: "Is this any different from not lifting the ban?"

The girl a nodded: "At that time, the Westeros system will no longer prevent other companies from cooperating with the Hearst Group."

Andre Carney thought for a while and said, "At least, the Westeros Company should publish a statement in the newspaper."

Girl a shook her head: "The boss won't agree with this statement, Mr. Carney, for the enemy, the boss's greatest kindness is that they don't care. Don't expect him to do more."

Andre Carney questioned: "Miss Knowles, are you making decisions for your boss now?"

"Yes."

"I don't think you

You have the right to make such a decision, and perhaps you'd better discuss it with Mr. Westeros. "

"I know my boss and know what decisions he makes."

Andre Carney said: "But now that we have reconciled, we should no longer be enemies."

"Mr. Carney, the so-called 'reconciliation' is just your wishful thinking. For the boss, this is not 'reconciliation', it's just 'letting go', do you understand?"

Andre Carney couldn't help feeling some pity for his employer, but he still insisted on the surface: "If this is the case, then the transaction between our two sides has no meaning. Mr. Westeros wants my client to agree. Under those conditions, a certain response must be made, even if it is a symbolic response, such as a simple advertising cooperation.”

A girl said: "The equity transfer of espn and the settlement of the six lawsuits are the response of the Westeros system. At that time, the public should understand what happened, and there is no need for any additional symbolic response."

Andre Carney felt a little bitter in his heart.

This is true, but the truth is not.

As Girl A just said, if the Westeros system does not give a public response, then, in the eyes of outsiders, this is indeed not a 'reconciliation', but a 'letting go'. This is definitely not what the Hearst family wants to see after paying a huge price.

He continued to bargain with the girl in front of him for a while, but failed to get any more favors. Andre Carney had to leave, and hurriedly informed the Hearst family members of the Hearst family who were anxiously waiting in New York about the outcome of the meeting in the car returning to the hotel. core.

In the villa, the lawyer of the Hearst family was sent away. Lady A went to an office on the first floor of the villa, called someone to deliver a women's suit according to a certain size, and then turned on the computer and started to silently process some work emails.

It was like this until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when there was a knock on the door outside the office, and the Indian girl Alia pushed the door in and said, "a, the boss is going out."

Alison nodded, got up and picked up the sorted documents and left the office.

In a living room next to the living room, the baby-faced Zoe Parks was helping Simon to tie a tie, and Isabel Dunn held a coat to her chest and stood obediently beside the man.

Seeing girl a come in, Simon asked with a smile, "How's the talk?"

Lady A handed a few documents in her hand to Alia next to her, stepped forward to take Zooey's work, felt the man's breath up close, and said softly, "The Hearst family shouldn't agree too easily, but, They have no choice."

Simon just hummed.

Alison helped Simon fasten his tie, and then took the suit jacket from Isabel for the man to put on, but he kept his eyebrows down the whole time, like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law.

Simon waited for Alison to help him fasten the buttons, then smiled and grabbed the girl's chin and raised it to him: "Jealous again?"

The girl a looked at the man, did not answer, but couldn't help but blinked a few times.

Simon bowed his head and kissed: "Don't do this."

The man's eyes were firm, but his tone was soft. Lady A only felt that a small pimple in her heart quickly melted away, and in a blink of an eye, she felt that she should not be.

Well, it needs to be punished.

The man seemed to see through her thoughts, leaned over and whispered a few words, then let go of her and said, "Okay, darling."

After saying this, Simon didn't wait for Girl A to remind him again, and took the initiative to take from Aaliyah the documents that he wanted to read in the car. Finally, he said goodbye to the girls and turned to leave the villa.

In the afternoon, some work schedules were cancelled due to certain things, but in the evening there were two, an evening meal with Cisco CEO John Chambers, and a cocktail party at Tim Berners-Lee's house.

After sending her boss out, Lady A took back her young daughter's expression in a blink of an eye, and asked Zooey, "I ordered a set of clothes this afternoon, have you delivered them?"

Zooey nodded, and then took the initiative to say, "I'll go get it."

The master bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

Alison came in with a dark blue women's suit, put the clothes in the small living room outside, knocked on another door, got a response and pushed the door in, but went directly to another connected bathroom, After a while, she came out of the bathroom with a small tray and walked over to the big bed.

On the big bed, a woman was lying on her side lazily hugging a pillow.

It was Simon's personal military assistant, Celia Miller.

Noticing the stinky expression on Alison's face, Celia didn't care at all, and with a little smile, gestured to the tray in Lady A's hand: "a, what is this?"

Alison put the tray on the bedside table, picked up the water glass, picked up a pill in the small saucer, handed it over together, and said bluntly: "Birth control pill."

Celia was stunned for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's not necessary, I'm safe today."

Allison insisted: "This is the boss's order, Ms. Miller, and I must watch you take it yourself."

Hearing this, Celia stared at Alison for a moment, and soon smiled again, saying, "Simon wouldn't do this, but, well, I won't make you embarrassed."

The woman said, sat up and took the water glass and pills, took them quickly, and opened her mouth with a bit of ridicule for Lady A to check, then lay down and said, "A, you can help me prepare bath water. Are you tired?"

Celia didn't hide it when she just got up. Lady A noticed the woman's figure and remembered that her boss occasionally talked about it.

Some of the words, some women, only look good in clothes, and only a few are good-looking whether they wear clothes or not.

Celia Miller belongs to the latter group.

The woman on the bed saw that Alison didn't move, and said again: "By the way, a, Simon said you will help me prepare clothes?"

Alison regained her senses, nodded and said, "Outside, besides, Ms. Miller, do you need me to help you prepare the car?"

"Oh, no, I don't plan to leave tonight."

A girl said: "The boss may bring other women back."

"It's okay, I don't mind being together."

Bitchi!

Alison thought for a while, and had to get up and bring in the clothes from the outside. Hearing Celia mentioning the bath water again, she wanted to refuse. If you ask for dinner, prepare a plate of salt for her.

As a result, when the bath water was ready, Celia Miller really mentioned dinner again, and planned to do maintenance after dinner, and asked Alison to help arrange it.

In the bathroom of the master bedroom, watching the young girl leave almost a little frantically, Celia Miller leaned comfortably in the large bathtub, recalling all kinds of things during this time, she felt a little embarrassed.

She just flew back from France today.

In just half a month, she has flown around the earth and has been to countries such as Australia, Rwanda, Ukraine and France in a row. During the whole process, she also felt more and more that a certain little man was playing a big game of chess.

Australia, Africa, Europe.

Then count North America.

Through private military companies and some other arrangements, once it finally takes shape, it will be a huge private military network. In comparison, the private mercenaries owned by the Rockefeller family in their heyday were completely paediatric.

As long as this big net is formed, the Westeros system will become a powerful economy with its own military strength.

The more she understands this, the easier it is for Celia Miller to hold on to a little man, and she hopes that she too can own herself in such a powerful economy like other strong women in the Westeros system. a place that cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, during this time, she entered the state with 100% complete and unreserved, and traveled all over the world in the interests of the Westeros system.

I came to San Francisco today to report to the little man the success of the work during this period, and went further smoothly.

Of course she knows that there are so many women around the little man, and there are various disparities between the two, and it is impossible to produce things such as love. However, she knew better that if she wanted to gain the complete trust of the little man, she had to have no reservations.

Men often feel that the other party can be trusted after they get a woman, and will give the other party enough trust.

Although this is not true, Celia knows that this method is definitely very useful, so she did not hesitate, and she did not hesitate much from the first time she saw the little man.

It happened to be hit by Janet Westeros at the time.

A little embarrassing.

However, hum.

Not letting yourself succeed.

At this moment, leaning in the big bathtub, Celia Miller had a smile on her face, and then she thought of Sophia Fisher and the depressed girl who wanted to go crazy.

Sophia Fauci asked her to go to Girl B to ask for the 'welfare' she deserved. Celia didn't think the other party was well-intentioned at first, but it turned out to be the case. Fauci, who had been in Europe for a long time, knew that she could not stare at her. So he used this small method to provoke the vigilance of the abcd circle closest to his boss.

However, if she is just a vase that is completely entertaining, Sophia's little tricks may succeed.

Too bad she isn't.

It just so happens that a certain little man obviously prefers a woman with outstanding abilities to a vase. During this time, she has fully proved this to him. With the approval of the little man, the small means used by other girls to reject vases will not help.

Now, after taking it a step further, her position by his side will only become stronger.
