Chapter 333 Nightcrawlers
Surrounded by a large group of women, Tao Dongdong felt the teasing and chatting up from all directions with an expression of displeasure.

After all, there are not many diamond kings like him.

Although he was dubbed a "playboy" by the media some time ago, but the old man behind him is rich enough.

People all over the world know that Tao Xi has a total of six children, but apart from Tao Dongdong who has appeared in public in recent years, Tao Xixi, the eldest princess of the Panama Commercial Bank, seems to have disappeared from the world, and no one knows what she is doing. up.

And their fourth son, Tao Beibei, disappeared without a trace except that when he was 12 years old, he went to the North American Rifle Association to play with a pistol and accidentally caught fire in the news.

Now the only thing that women from the outside world can get in touch with is Tao Dongdong. Today, when the Clippers beat the Grizzlies in an away game, these women are so happy, these women still try their best to make Tao Dongdong fancy them.

even for one night

It's enough for them to brag in the circle of top socialites for a long time. After all, Jin Xizhen is not a woman who can hug big thick legs.

"Damn!"

"Who touched my ass!"

"My phone is ringing!"

Tao Dongdong looked at the group of gloating media reporters in the outermost circle, dodging the salty pigs around them with horror on their faces, and the mobile phone in his arms was still ringing from time to time.

After finally getting out of the crowd, Tao Dongdong greeted Jin Xizhen from a distance, and then trotted out. As for the little West behind him, he pursed his lips regretfully.

Although Prince seldom speaks in recent years because of his high position, Prince, who has been hailed by Congress as the CIA [Arrow of Punishment], is not easy. He is only 31 years old and can sit firmly in the second position of the CIA. If his warning is underestimated, little West will wait for the plumber to come tonight.

Tao Dongdong, who was standing in the underground parking lot, took out a lot of small notes and business cards from his pocket and threw them into the trash can beside him.

When he took out his cell phone to call back

He reflexively put the receiver of the mobile phone aside, and a very vicious scolding sound came out very clearly from the receiver, and Little West standing behind him couldn't help shrinking his neck.

"Hey! I just had something to do, my little ancestor!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, who dares not to give my little ancestor face, wouldn't that just trample my Tao Dongdong's face on the ground!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, leave everything to me!"

After Tao Dongdong hung up the phone, he turned his head and said to Little West who was standing a few meters away: "It's time for you, I remember you are still in contact with some gangsters in San Francisco? Call them up to Los Gatto to find someone!"

As soon as Little West heard this, he became energetic.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll send you the information about that person in a while, and I'll see all the information about him tomorrow."

Tao Dongdong sat in the driver's cab and ignored the little West who was under the car and was yelling anxiously: "Fxxk! Dongdong, you bastard, I'm waiting for you here, let me get in the car! "

The DeLoreau Porsche co-branded sports car left the underground garage with a cool drift on the spot and bang on the accelerator.

Only little West was left with an embarrassing "cold wind blowing".

"Are you sure you rejected Smith?" Micah Van Cleef asked while sitting on a chair with a distressed expression.

Reed Hastings didn't know if he didn't hear it or something, but he smoked one cigarette after another and looked out the window, but of course Micah Van Cleef, the vice president of Netflix, couldn't just sit idly by .

He snatched the cigarette from Reed's hand and continued to ask.

"Smith was pissed off when he left, you sure you turned him down, he's a giant in Hollywood!"

"Damn it! Micah, Smith didn't come here to represent himself this time. He represented the Commercial Bank of Panama to acquire us, not to join us!"

"You think I don't know that just the name of Smith Spielberg is going to make our stock 30% up, but he's here to kick us out!"

Reed Hastings got so excited that he didn't even notice a hole in his usual favorite couch.

On the contrary, the vice president, Micah Van Cleef, heard the boss's anger and sat down calmly to think.

"Are you sure it's the Panama Commercial Bank that Smith is representing?"

"However, when I got a call from the Panama Commercial Bank office, I specifically contacted the other party's venture capital department. The other party has no plans to merge or acquire companies recently, so I just went out today."

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

Micah VanCleef put some excited Reed on the stool calmly and explained: "You spent a lot of money to hire me, isn't it just to help you get some company's stock listing and investment and financing matters?"

Micah crossed his legs calmly and helped Reid analyze: "Although I have left Wall Street for a long time, my relationship with Wall Street has not been severed. Netflix's recent performance has been very good."

"But I heard that Mr. Smith's DreamWorks has been tossed by the Hollywood Eight recently!"

"Besides, the MGM film studio is the largest film production line in Hollywood right now. Do you think there is something interesting about the relationship here?"

Reed Hastings kept rubbing the stubble on his chin with his left hand and did not speak for a long time.

The neon lights outside the window are extraordinarily bright, and the endless stream of cars and pedestrians on the street reveals the bustling here, and occasionally one or two police cars passing downstairs will not be noticed.

But Reed's heart is not so peaceful.

As a person who has access to the capital market in the United States, he still has a good understanding of the influence of Jews in the international market. You must know that the largest group of partners behind Panama Commercial Bank is Jews.

And it is impossible for Smith, as a Jew, to be forced to this extent!
Even if DreamWorks was bought by someone else, Smith could get his face.

There is absolutely no need for Smith to come to a certain staff member of the Panama Commercial Bank to defraud him because of this one. You must know that just yesterday, he also saw that 45% of Netflix’s traffic sources come from a close relationship with the Panama Commercial Bank 12345 searched, another 40% came in through Google, and the rest came in directly through web page collection.

If the other party wants to acquire them, there is no need to negotiate.

"Mika, how much did we pay to 12345 and Google for advertising last month?"

Micah Van Cleef seemed to know what his old buddy meant, and he directly called the overtime staff of the finance department.

"Google's fee, I remember I just signed it today. When we signed this month's advertising agreement with the other party, did we sign it?"

"Signed, sir."

After hanging up the phone, Micah VanCleef asked with a mocking expression: "Don't think that the big men standing above us won't do any stupid tricks, what can't they do when they are pushed?"

Reid, who was skeptical, packed up his things and found a place in the office and fell asleep.

But tonight all the information agencies in Los Angeles became active, because their immediate boss [Junior Dalton Information Consulting Company] once again threw out a bounty.

Ball, who is the [Explorer News Information Agency], ran downstairs to the [Netflix] company building with a look of excitement after receiving this information.

[Explorer] As an old local information source collection organization in Los Angeles, it has a history of nearly 25 years
As early as the beginning of the 80th century, their days were very chic. Although he only joined the company in recent years, he has also heard about the glorious history of the company.

In 1984, Explorer even once monopolized the information sources provided by American radio and television stations. Just when everyone in the company thought that [Explorer]'s life would be prosperous, the unexpected bad news came.

In 1988, a leading figure in their industry issued a "banning order" to all TV stations.

At first, the explorers didn't believe that someone who had left the industry for a long time would be listened to when he gave this order, but when a reporter from the American Radio and Television Station interviewed a general in Panama, their life suddenly took a turn for the worse.

They had to go away

But the big man developed faster. Whenever they gained a foothold in one place, their life became more difficult until a lawyer named Dalton Jr. bought them in 1992.

Since then, their life has been much easier.

Although they didn't know the intention of a lawyer to acquire all similar institutions in the United States, it wasn't until the generous bounty missions were issued again and again that their industry was revived.

Because of the rise of the Internet
This has led to a large loss of their talents. Although there are still some elites who will make some breaking news, these elites will soon start their own businesses and work as paparazzi because of their names.

As long as they can upload their own videos and news on the website, they can quickly get fans and sell advertisements. This is something that their industry cannot do. No one wants to work for a lifetime.

In addition, the emergence of YouTube has made their industry more and more withered, but the bounty thrown by their boss has become higher and higher.

like this time today

As long as any of them can find out about the scandal of any Netflix executive, they can get a bounty worth $4000!
Although the industry is in a downturn, there are always people better than him. Ball does not intend to film the news or secrets of those Netflix executives this time. He intends to get the content and home addresses of all Netflix executives. .

A piece of information sells for 50 US dollars, as long as 100 copies, 5000 US dollars will be obtained.

Bauer, who got into the dark sewer, walked cautiously in the dark, sticking to the wall. I don't know when, getting into the sewer has become a knack for these "night walkers".

If you're a nightcrawler and get some big news, you're not a "nightcrawler" if you don't go down the sewers and deal with the sewer dwellers.

"Hey! Dude, for $5, I can take you where you want to go!"

Bauer was terrified by a sudden word coming out of the dark sewer, but he quickly realized that this was a "resident" who could adapt to the sewer.

And these "residents" have one thing in common, that is, anyone who walks in, they will not hurt you, as long as you can give them "5 dollars", they can provide you with any help.

"Here, I want to go to the Netflix headquarters building!"

The man hiding in the shadow hesitated after hearing Bauer's words: "No, it costs 10 dollars to go there. Many people have already gone there tonight, and many policemen have stepped up their patrols there. I I don’t want to cause trouble for the residents of our area.”

After hearing what the sewer resident said, Bauer's mood can be said to have been on a roller coaster.

"20 dollars, buddy, I'm not that group of rookies, I know you must have a secret passage that we don't know about!" Bauer took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it in the direction of the voice without waiting for the other party to think. past.

After squeezing all the money with a weather-beaten hand full of calluses, he said: "Come with me, in order to save costs, the ventilation ducts and sewers of the Netflix building were connected, but you You need to be careful when you go in."

"Remember not to talk too much when you get there, the echo from the vent is very loud! If you don't want to be caught by the police, you just listen to me honestly."

Ball gave a light "um" and let the big hand grab his collar and lead him towards other places.

Bauer didn't know how long he had been in the sewer, but he could smell a lot of pungent smells and carrion, and even a hint of perfume.

"click"

A beam of light first shone on his face, and then that beam of light illuminated a black hole, and gusts of cold wind gushed out into the sewer from that hole.

"For money's sake, I'll give you a flashlight!"

"Someone told us not to take advantage of you people so easily!"

The man who looked very old turned around and left, leaving only Bauer standing there alone, although the words "someone", "before" and "brilliant" are all aware of the fact that they have appeared in their industry. a reformer.

But the first lesson of being a nightcrawler is "Don't ask if others don't tell you"

Ball wiped the sweat from his palms and climbed up the rusty ladder, although he didn't know if he could make a lot of money this time.

But he thinks "Nightcrawler" is a good job,

Bauer looked up at the air vent and forced himself to bite his back molars and climbed up the ladder step by step. He hoped that after working so hard, he could also become a rule maker or reformer of this industry.
