The first thousand two hundred and forty-four chapters

“Although Murdoch changed his PR strategy, his situation is getting more and more embarrassing.”

"Haha, this world news boss has unparalleled media power, but this time his media empire has begun to collapse partially."

"In fact, the eavesdropping scandal in the UK is actually long-term and widespread, and this concentrated outbreak mainly reflects the fatigue of internal mechanisms and management of the British government."

"The story of eavesdropping on the storm has just begun, and calls for breaking up News Corp to avoid abuse of media power concentration and abuse are growing."

In the NBC conference room of Rockefeller Center in New York, Andy sat firmly in the first seat, including Alvet. All its media editors and leaders were present. Images such as the editors of the British "Single" and "Standard" and the editors of the Los Angeles Times also appeared on the monitors of the conference table. The actions of sniping News Corporation in the past period are being discussed freely.

Regarding the discussions of the crowd, Andy just smiled, leaned back lazily on the boss's chair, and a sign pen was spinning on his fingers. He always insisted on and believed that only in the debate could he get the best idea and the most correct decision. This is why he chose to hold the meeting after making an appointment with Murdoch.

"A small thing can be so quarrel, which reflects the long-standing management problems of the British government. The collusion between the government and the media is not formed in one or two days, but is acquiesced by the system. It is essentially the result of collusion between all parties and the use of the media's political struggle." In the video window, the editor-in-chief of the Evening Standard said with emotion.

"In fact, Murdoch's rights are indeed huge, affecting almost every election in the UK. Many people cannot imagine that both major parties please Murdoch, hoping to win his support, their ranking in the polls will rise sharply as long as he helps. In return, Murdoch gained control of more and more news cakes, and at the same time, he also interfered in preventing the British government from taking regulatory measures that could hinder his business. To be honest, he was also responsible for this situation where the world is enemies."

In this case, the editor-in-chief of The Independence Newspaper, who has been in the charge, said with a sneer on his face, saying that he had almost no favoritism for Murdoch.

"This time, News Corp is doomed, and thousands of protesters use Faebooks and Ins to call on the public to boycott Murdoch. The Internet claims that News Corp has promoted the illusion of the world, exaggerated news stories, and turned news into a tool for Murdoch to make business benefits."

"He destroyed the bottom line of news reporting too much." After the meeting began, Alvetre, who had been listening quietly, looked at his boss and said with a smile: "Even innocent and kind people go to eavesdrop on secret photos, or spend a lot of money to buy information from the police. Such a bottom line cannot be violated. Murdoch is not a professional journalist, and he shows the spirit of an explorer who dares to fight and fight in his bones.

However, this crisis will cause some changes to News Corp, but it will not make Murdoch unable to recover. After all, Murdoch has long held the absolute voting rights of News Corp. News Corp and Fox are essentially listed companies controlled by the family.

The Murdoch family's trust controls nearly 40% of the voting shares of 21st Century Fox and News Corp., where Murdoch has more rights than his children.

If anyone thinks this is Murdoch's end of the way, I can only say that they are thinking too much, just like all the great leaders, who are snatching resources from their hearts to deal with this threat.”

When Andy, who had a faint smile on his face, had a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he also deeply agreed with Al's conclusion. He must be the biggest beneficiary of short-sniping News Corporation this time, but it is limited to this. Facing Murdoch, who abandoned the car and kept the coach, is not enough to shake the foundation of News Corporation.

Murdoch is a real entrepreneur, the foundation of the News Corp he founded is solid and his way cannot be learned from any business school. Although several News Corp's newspapers are on the cusp of eavesdropping scandals, they should not be forgotten that they are just a small part of this huge media empire.

The simplest example is that the Wall Street Journal, which he rejected the opposition and acquired at a high premium, undoubtedly showed that it was the most precious property during this period, and the editorial page was in full swing. The newspaper itself has become an all-round daily newspaper. It is more lively and readable than other newspapers, and its circulation has actually risen against the trend, unlike the New York Times.

In short, the old fox Murdoch will eventually resolve the crisis and make a comeback, which is worthy of its reputation.

If time could go back, would Murdoch regret it and establish himself as a powerful enemy?

Anyway, no matter whether it is time to go back or not, Andy will take advantage of the situation to target Murdoch and crack down on News Corp. In addition to the hatred among his peers, the most important thing is that News Corp. has what Andy Smith needs.

"In fact, the crisis has also given them an opportunity. I believe that after the crisis has subsided slightly, the News Group's long-delayed split operation will be immediately put on the agenda. In a split, the media department that Murdoch is more interested in and the entertainment department that shareholders prefer. In addition to giving an explanation to the British and American people, it is also equivalent to giving Wall Street a reassurance."

Alvetre's analysis conclusion was recognized by everyone in the conference room. NBC TV station Ceo Preple said with a frown: "The shocking eavesdropping and bribery winds, several journalists' subordinates were arrested, which affected their credibility. This may eventually hurt Murdoch and make him turn his mind from newspapers to entertainment. In the future, Fox will become our biggest competitor!"

Everyone present was mentally prepared for this. After all, this time the boss cheated Murdoch and the future hostility is inevitable. Andy smiled unanimously. No matter what happens in the future, he will be the winner in this contest.

As a winner, we must naturally enjoy the results of victory. In addition to the desire for profit, the more important thing is to kill the chicken and show the monkey so that other media can know that the consequences of angering him and Andy Smith are also a declaration of "Don't mess with me". After all, if you know your own affairs, how unclean his PG is, once it is exposed, it will really smell the streets!

"News Group will definitely focus on entertainment next. Fox has always supported the media department. The former is out of business rationality, while the latter is his true love. He likes to stay in his office in New York all day to call editors from all over the world.

This time the blow to the media group is not bad. It will take three to five years of dormant whitewashing. However, the decline of the paper media is an indisputable fact. After this split, Murdoch will know how to choose as long as he is not confused. I even think he will expand the entertainment industry."

"Ahem..."

“…”

Alvetle's unshirkable straightforward analysis made all the editors present a little embarrassed and unhappy. After all, no one likes to hear that they care about the career they value very much, and are said to be declining and unbearable, even if that is the fact.

"Haha, we have some similarities. I also like to stay in the office and call the editors of various newspapers." Andy's seemingly joking words made the previous awkward atmosphere dissipate. The editors of the newspapers present also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. As long as their boss likes newspapers, it is the most fundamental thing.

"By the way, I remember correctly, Murdoch never really made a home in Los Angeles where Hollywood is. I seem to have heard him talk about the reason, and he said that people in Los Angeles don't like him." Andy raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a different topic.

"Not only that, Peter Chenin, who is currently the chief operating officer of News Corporation for 13 years, once built a luxurious pharaoh-style office in Los Angeles, directly provoking Murdoch in a small room on the East Coast. This arrogance has even evolved into a court battle recently. In this eavesdropping scandal, Chenin not only publicly mocked Murdoch's eldest son, but also assisted the board of directors to expel him, and he seemed to want to be the successor.

So, after the situation calms down, I believe that Murdoch will resolutely fire Peter Chenin who stabbed him in the back despite the opinions of the shareholders!”

"Tsk tsk, internal and external troubles..." When Andy heard this news, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the curve of the corners of his mouth was getting bigger and bigger. I'm really sorry for God if he didn't knock it on the robbery!
