King of Hollywood

Chapter 288 I really wrote it down

"After the millennium, the development of technology will be faster and the market will be broader, so why not take a longer view? Especially the rise of the Internet will soon become a new force in the media " Claude held a wine glass and talked to Murdoch, since Adrian is here, as one of the two giants of the media, he will naturally not stop coming.

"Don't you think the current IT stocks are a little overheated, Claude?" Murdoch, who was dressed very formally, asked this question.

"It's a little bit, but it's far from overheating. We have been bold and cautious in this." Adrian then excused.

Murdoch raised his eyebrows, but just looked at Claude, who shrugged. In this regard, Ed and I have always been consistent. "

"As expected of a young man." Murdoch laughed, "It's full of breakthroughs. I only started my own business when I was your age."

"The environment is different, and the era we live in is better than decades ago, so I still admire you, Rupert, especially many dying newspapers can be brought back to life in your hands. It's enough for people to look up to." Adrian said flatteringly.

Murdoch laughed again, complimented each other a few more words, and the groom left immediately.

"He doesn't seem to take our opinion seriously." Claude said after sipping his glass of wine, "or he doesn't take the Internet's opinion seriously."

"After all, people born in the 1930s, no matter how courageous they are, will become conservative, cautious, and difficult to accept new things after being scrubbed, and we will be like this in a few decades," Adrian chuckled softly. "Signs of overheating in IT stocks, although just emerging, are enough to turn him off."

Just thinking that he "once" denounced Internet news as a thief is enough to explain his attitude. Although it is largely for the development of News Corporation, it is not his personal point of view.

"So the future is ours, right?" Without skipping words. Claude laughed, "But I still prefer to deal with Redstone. Although they are all old foxes, Redstone is not as slippery as Murdoch."

"Me, so our main partner is Viacom," Adrian nodded. "We just need to maintain a good relationship with News Corporation."

The Telecommunications Law passed in 1996 substantially revised the Communications Law of 1934, thus untying the last rope on the large media groups. Today, the basic pattern has been set, and the media with the foresight advantage is in the The first group ranked at the bottom, but it also left Warner and Disney far away. Now they have to face larger companies such as Viacom, News Corporation, Bertelsmann, and General Electric.

General Electric and Bertelsmann can be ignored, the former's main energy is not in the media, but in their banner. Bertelsmann's main business is magazine publishing, television broadcasting, and music distribution, and the basic disk is not in North America. Therefore, the real opponents of the media are Viacom and News Corporation, which also own major film companies in Hollywood. As for Sony, like Bertelsmann, they are basically based in Japan, and games are their main profit.

Among them, Viacom has been cooperating well with the media, and they have exchanged shares with each other. Although Viacom now owns Paramount and CBS, and is still competing with the media in Canada for movie theaters, it does not mean that they have nothing to do with each other. need confrontation. But News Corporation is different. It almost competes with the media in all directions. Not to mention that Adrian poached Cameron. In 1996, as soon as they loosened their ties, they established Fox News in the model of CNN.

Although News Corporation suffered major setbacks in the early 1990s, it has not only gotten rid of the predicament but also developed very well. As the largest multinational media group, their power cannot be underestimated. Although the media companies of the First Group seldom compete with each other in an all-round way, although the media is young, it has already accumulated a lot of strength, and it is not afraid to compete with them in an all-round way. However, if it really develops to this point, it will have an impact on the development of the media. It will be very big, and many opportunities may slip through your fingers, so proper courtship is also necessary.

What the media needs most now is that Adrian and Crowder need to stabilize their current fundamentals, seize more opportunities for expansion, and wait for News Corporation to go downhill, just like Sony. Besides, Adrian still has a trump card in his hand. The relationship between Murdoch and several British prime ministers is very bad, and there are some things that don’t need to be verified. You just need to raise the topic, and the British government will naturally look for evidence.

"How does it feel?" After the groom returned to the bride, the ceremony was about to begin, simple but necessary, so Charlize also returned to Adrian's side.

"The conversation is very decent, he is very smart and smart," Charlize commented after thinking about it. "It is rare to see such a shrewd Asian. Murdoch is obviously looking for a partner rather than a wife."

Her words are quite sharp. Adrian also does not think Murdoch will marry Wendi Deng because he fell in love with her, or because he fell in love with her. As a person who created a huge media empire single-handedly, the interests Supremacy has been carved into the bones. There have also been rumors before that Anna wants to retire and enjoy life, thus conflicting with Murdoch.

There is no need to investigate whether these gossips are true or not. Anyway, it is certain that Wendi Deng has a third party involved. From how she settled in the United States, it can be seen that she is very skillful in this regard, and at the same time has no shortage of ambition, ability and self-knowledge. Doc would naturally want a younger, more attractive company with more brains and ability to continue the empire.

Successful people have the privilege of not being criticized, and Adrian has no ill feeling towards her. He originally wanted to make fun of Su Shi's poem, but it seemed a bit abrupt when he thought about it, and besides him and Wendi Deng, no one else would I know the allusion, so I finally forget it. Moreover, even though he only had a few conversations with that person, Adrian can still conclude that even if she made fun of "a pear blossom crushing a crabapple", she would still be able to move away without showing any signs of expression.

"How does it compare to you?" Adrian asked suddenly.

Charlize turned her head and looked him up and down, then asked with a half-smile, are you proposing to me? "Do not skip words.

Adrian immediately coughed twice and looked forward.

Murdoch's wedding was very simple, so it didn't last long. Although the people who were able to attend were prominent celebrities, it was basically over after lunch after the ceremony. Now that the purpose of coming to the wedding has been achieved, Adrian has no need to stay any longer, he greets Claude, and he walks around Manhattan with Charlize.

"You seem to be in a good mood today?" After coming out of a fashion boutique, Charlize walked in front and said so. She stretched out her hand and brushed the hair around her ear, with a charming smile on her lips.

"As long as you are in a good mood, I will be in a good mood." Adrian said in a relaxed tone. The appearance of carrying a large bag makes it impossible to connect with the famous miracle director, media tycoon, and Huahua.

"Really?" Without skipping words. Charlize turned her head and looked at him with a chuckle, as if she was going to say something, but after thinking for a while, she shook her head, and said in a tone of "letting you go", forget it, I still won't hit you. "

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say much, what he meant by Charlize, as his personal secretary, she knew many things.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to the apartment first, there is a reception to attend tonight." He said immediately, "We have to go back to Los Angeles."

"Your schedule is really full." Charlize teased, "You could have declined."

"That was arranged by you too—why should I refuse?"

"I can arrange for you more loosely, but you don't accept it."

"Of course, your arrangement is your business, and whether I accept it or not is mine."

The two returned to Adrian's luxury apartment in the Upper East Side just like that, packed up and dressed up, and after the sun went down, they ate something to fill their stomachs before they went out together.

The reception was held at Donald Trump's home, which is why Adrian refused to decline. Charlize, who was dressed in a black backless evening dress, was elegant, mysterious and charming, and attracted a lot of attention at the reception. Many men showed envy to Adrian, and many women looked hostile to Charlize. This is especially true for a young girl.

"Hello, Adrian, nice to see you again." Ivanka came to Adrian with a very formal and calm expression. There was hatred in her eyes.

"Me too, Ivanka, you are more charming than before." Adrian said with a smile, and then without giving her a chance, he turned his eyes directly to the young man who was about her age beside her, "This is ?”

"Edie, Edie Jeffrey," the young man immediately stretched out his hand, "It's nice to meet you, Adrian is very happy."

"Me too," Adrian still smiled decently, "I remember Hamel Jeffrey, the general manager of the Pledge hedge fund, had a child named Edie..."

"Yes, Hamel, that's my father, Adrian, I didn't expect you to remember him." The young man was a little surprised and surprised.

"Although we only talked a few times, your father left a deep impression on me," Adrian showed a look of reminiscence, "and your father graduated from Stanford, and we are still alumni, so we talked a lot about Stanford. Interesting."

"I used to listen to him tell stories about Stanford, so I plan to apply to go there after graduation this year." The young man named Edie Jeffrey was aroused by Adrian, and the two talked about it with great interest. Looking up, from Stanford to Silicon Valley to the application of computer technology in movies, it is very speculative, completely ignoring the surrounding things, leaving Ivanka staring blankly.

"He is like this, you should never try to take the initiative in front of him." Just when she was a little anxious whether she should leave or continue to stay, a somewhat lazy voice rang in her ears.

Ivanka turned her head to look at Charlize, her blond hair was hanging down like silk, her facial features were exquisite and just right, she didn't look like she was wearing a little baby fat, and with that decent sexy evening dress, she was glamorous and moving, and indeed made everyone in the room jealous condition.

"Really?" Without skipping words. She replied noncommittally, while humming softly in her heart.

"Of course, you should be aware of this." Although Charlize smiled slightly, it made her even more glamorous.

In this sentence, Ivanka said that Charlize not only slept with Adrian, but also knew the situation very well. After all, she is also a very smart girl, and an embarrassing anger burst out of her heart, even though she Once he controlled his emotions, a blush still flashed across his face.

"Maybe, but at least I won't submit to him because I want something from him," she whispered, biting her lip.

Charlize smiled noncommittally, still with that cold expression, which made Ivanka even more unhappy, and her words became more impolite. I think, Charlize——, you must have gained a lot from him, yes ? "Do not skip words.

"Yes, he gave me a lot that a child from a rich family like you would never care about." Charlize said softly, and her gray-green eyes became darker.

Ivanka was stunned for a moment, she shouldn't have said anything, then Charlize raised her chin and smiled meaningfully You will understand sooner or later, Ivanka. "

Naturally, the girl could not fail to understand the meaning of these words, and the anger that had just subsided suddenly rose again. At this moment, Adrian finally finished chatting with Edie.

"Let's stop here for the time being. After Stanford approves your application, you can go to Hollywood when you have time." Adrian said so, then bent his arms, and Charlize next to him immediately took them knowingly.

"Sorry, Ivanka, I seem to have left you out in the cold again." He turned his head to Ivanka, that smile was as hateful as it was in the eyes of the girl.

"It's okay, I'm glad you had a good chat." Ivanka squeezed out a smile and grabbed Edie's arm like Charlize did, but she had to pull Edie's arm several times before responding.

Adrian looked at the two who were a little embarrassed and smiled slightly, you are right, you..."

"We're dating." Ivanka finally seized the opportunity to say this, but what she wanted to see was destined not to happen.

"Really? Well done, Edie, Ivanka is not the kind of girl who is easy to catch up with." Adrian said and patted Edie on the shoulder.

Edie didn't respond at all, and could only respond with empathy. She didn't wake up until after Adrian left. Looking at Ivanka who was still holding her arm, her mind became active... Ivanka, if you willing……"

"It's none of your business now." Ivanka, who had been watching Adrian's back, said without looking back, and then shook off his arm, as if shaking off a toy he no longer liked.

"What...?" Edie opened his eyes wide, as if hurt, "Didn't you just say..."

"Putting you together and saying those words is to prevent that Huahua from striking up a conversation with me. He has done this several times." Ivanka snorted heavily.

"Hitting up with you? Adrian is not that kind of person." Edie frowned, then whispered something and he had such a beautiful female companion. "

Ivanka immediately turned her head and gave him a hard look, then strode away from the reception hall. Edie shrugged and started talking to other people nonchalantly.

Damn Adrian, damn bastard, I will show you one day Night scene, with the cool wind blowing, she finally calmed down.

Don't let him lead you by the nose, Ennie, and don't be impatient, be patient, that's a special bastard. She said to him over and over again in her heart. If you want revenge, you must not be in a hurry, otherwise you will only give him an opportunity to take advantage of it

After hinting at herself several times like this, she finally suppressed the unhappiness provoked before, took a long breath, rubbed her face, Ivanka turned around and walked back slowly. Even so, she still thinks about Charlize's appearance from time to time. Although she is wearing a light-colored one-piece skirt with a light yellow coat and 5-inch high-heeled shoes, it perfectly shows her figure. The beautiful long legs that were exposed to the outside added a bit of sexiness, and the upbringing since childhood made her appear graceful, but compared with her, she always lacked a little bit?

She didn't realize it at all, and made the comparison on the basis of foundation.

After walking through a long corridor, you can go back to the hall by going downstairs. At this moment, the door beside Ivanka was opened, and a figure suddenly hugged her waist from behind and lifted her up. Cover her mouth at the same time.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Ivanka yelled in horror when she was suddenly attacked, and twisted her body and limbs like a conditioned reflex and began to struggle, but unfortunately it was useless, and the other party easily grabbed her into the room.

The light was not turned on, and it was very dark inside. After the door was slammed, Ivanka was thrown on the sofa, followed by the man's low laughter, with an indescribable taste, as if excited by the prey she got .

"Let go of me, Adrian, you bastard!" Ivanka yelled angrily as soon as the hand on her mouth was taken away.

"Huh?" The man was slightly surprised, "You recognized me so quickly."

"Familiar with the layout of my house, who else dares to treat me like this, but you bastard?" Ivanka, who was thrown on the sofa, raised her legs and kicked towards Adrian, while her heart beat slightly faster.

Because the light is very dark, so only her, her face is burning. She could tell that the person who forcibly brought him in was Adrian, not because of what she said before, but mainly because she could smell his breath, which seemed a bit mysterious to say, and the number of times the two had done it was only a handful, But she did remember the smell of him...
