Chapter 321 The Three Media Tycoons

Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, Office of the Commissioner.

"Murdoch, News Corporation..."

After reading the information about the Wall Street Journal, David's face fell into contemplation.

The Wall Street Journal is part of the world's media giant News Corporation, which is owned by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.

As for Murdoch, he had heard of him, but not because of his identity as a media tycoon, but because of the gossip about him that people talked about with relish.

This man was married several times in his life, and his marriage to the Chinese socialite named Deng was particularly eye-catching, but it ended in breakup.

Although he is 90 years old now, he is still as strong as a man and maintains his masculine qualities. He maintains various ambiguous relationships with female celebrities and supermodels in the entertainment industry. He is truly a role model among men.

In addition, he has another identity, that is, a Jew and a member of the Freemasonry.

It seems that the two attacks on him by the Wall Street Journal were definitely instigated by him.

"Giggle..."

While David was still lost in thought, there was a knock on the door. He could only put away his thoughts and said, "Come in.

Nissen walked in and said seriously, "Director, just now, the Daily Mirror, FX Network, EXC TV... suddenly supported the Wall Street Journal and launched a fierce attack on us based on the content of the Wall Street Journal. They also took advantage of the comparison mentality of peers to induce young people to feel unbalanced about our promotion. Now the public opinion against us online is getting higher and higher. We must deal with it."

David frowned when he heard this.

It is indeed a vicious tactic to induce young people to feel unbalanced about his promotion.

Just imagine, we are all in our twenties, and you, David, have reached the top of the IRS, such a high position of power, while we are the same age, but are just small-time punks. Anyone would feel unbalanced.

If these people are unbalanced, they will naturally be misled by public opinion and do not want to see David enter the IRS.

Very troublesome!
"The Daily Mirror, CX Network...these are all media owned by News Corp."

"That's right. News Corporation has so many multimedia channels that they launched a 'siege' on us. This order is not something that ordinary people can issue. It must be an instruction from their boss Murdoch. I have already read the information of this person. He is a Jew and a member of the Freemasonry. He definitely has a reason to do this!"

Hearing this, David's expression changed unpredictably.

It seems that it is not enough to just deal with the Wall Street Journal, because News Corporation has more than 170 media outlets, so News Corporation must be dealt with in order to control the media's guidance of public opinion.

"Director, I have an opinion on this matter..."

David looked at Nissen and asked, "Tell me about it."

"Regarding the issue of public opinion, I think we must deal with it. However, if we want to deal with it, it is actually meaningless to just deal with News Corporation or Murdoch. Because even if we deal with Murdoch, I think the Yutai Group will let another person take his place and continue to wage a public opinion war against us. So I think if we want to deal with him, we have to make another preparation in advance, such as supporting our spokesperson. This is the only way to solve the problem once and for all!"

After listening to what Neeson said, David thought about it and it was true.

There is no doubt that using public opinion as a weapon to attack him is effective at present, so the Freemasonry group will certainly not stop so easily.

If you want to avoid future troubles, the best way is to support your own spokesperson in the media. This not only protects you from being attacked by public opinion, but also has another benefit, which is that you can get more publicity and packaging for yourself.

As we all know, in America, especially if you want to get involved in politics, it is essential to promote and package yourself.

But for those who want to run for president, their most important task before the campaign is to find reliable media channels to package and promote themselves, so as to accumulate capital for the campaign.

"you're right……"

David thought for a moment, then said, "Well, tell Sally Redstone, John, Marlon, and Ted Turner to come see me tomorrow. Arrange a time, and I will meet them all at once!"

……

In a 300-square-meter villa on the west side of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, a round-faced old man in casual clothes is reading a newspaper.

At this time, a man in a black suit came over and said, "Sir, someone from the IRS just came and asked you to go to the Los Angeles IRS at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Their director David wants to see you!"

"what!"

The round-faced old man's expression changed, and upon closer inspection, one could see that the muscles below his lips were trembling uncontrollably.

His name is John Malone, the godfather of American cable television and media, and an absolute business genius.

He once made media giants like Murdoch and Redstone tremble in fear, and he also made US Vice President Al Gore bow down to him.

He is known as the "Genghis Khan" of the American media industry. He shaped an industry and influenced an era. He is one of the greatest unsung business giants in the information age and is also known as the hidden tycoon of the media.

But despite his many impressive titles, he couldn't help but panic when he heard David coming to him and asked to see him by name.

The reason is simple. He has seen Hollywood's tax audit.

He has also witnessed a series of subsequent events, such as the Sackler family, Swiss banks, cryptocurrency companies, and the Amazon Group recently.

Although he has many titles and is known as the godfather of the media industry, it is no exaggeration to say that the media industry is not even worth a hair compared to real capital giants such as Swiss banks, cryptocurrency companies, and Amazon Group.

David could even subdue these real capital giants. If they wanted to deal with him, he would have no choice but to go back and wash his neck and wait for death.

"Wait...why is he targeting me? I didn't do anything!"

John Malone, who had been panicking for a long time, finally came to his senses.

I didn't provoke you, David, and my wealth is just a small one compared to those giants such as Cryptocurrency and Amazon. Why do you target these small things of mine?

"I'm also very surprised, sir. But I thought about it. You are the godfather of the media industry. Now many media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal and the Daily Mirror have launched an attack on David, accusing him of being promoted too quickly and having shady dealings. Could this be related to this?"

"The Wall Street Journal and the Daily Mirror are not my media companies. He should go to Murdoch. Why would he go to me?"

John's tone sounded a little exasperated.

This was clearly the fault of that old guy Murdoch. Are they going to use him as an example to scare the monkeys?

If I take the blame for this, it would be like adding insult to injury and I would be extremely unlucky.

"This……"

The man in the suit was speechless for a moment.

Being found by David at this critical juncture, it can be guessed that it is definitely not a good thing, and there is a high possibility that he is being used as a warning to others.

Because even though the public opinion war was initiated by Murdoch's media group, this group is too powerful and is backed by the Freemasons. It is understandable that David, who is at a critical moment in the period of change, did not dare to take direct action against them.

It seems reasonable to take out John, the chicken, and kill him to scare Murdoch into being quiet.

"Mr. John, how about I arrange a plane and you go abroad to avoid the limelight?" "Idiot, have you forgotten about the Camorra family?"

Hearing John's scolding, the man in the suit suddenly remembered.

When the Camorra family in Los Angeles was investigated by David, didn't they want to take the opportunity to escape? But David was really ruthless and directly sent fighter jets to intercept them.

This incident shocked the whole country at the time.

If they dare to do this now, they might be the ones on the front page of the news tomorrow, which would not be fun.

"Help me cancel tomorrow's schedule!"

Since David has come to his house and has specifically requested to see him, there is no way he can hide. He has no choice but to cooperate and go to his house to see if there is a chance for negotiation.

……

CNN headquarters building in Atlanta, Georgia.

CNN, the full name is Cable News Network.

It was founded by Ted Turner in 1980 and has now grown into an important media company in the American media industry, and is ranked 500th among the world's top 476 brands.

At this time, in an office on the top floor, the company's founder, Ted Turner, had a worried look on his face.

Because just now, he also received a message from the IRS in Los Angeles, asking him to go there tomorrow morning.

Thinking of the various methods used by Director David and now asking to see him by name, anyone would feel a chill in their heart.

But since they had come to him, if he dared not to meet them, it would be a disrespect to them, and he would probably be treated even worse. He had no choice but to tell his secretary, "Please postpone my schedule tomorrow morning and book a flight to Los Angeles."

……

CBS headquarters in Queens, New York.

CBS, the full name of which is Columbia Broadcasting Corporation, is one of the three major national commercial radio and television networks in the United States.

It was established in 1927, officially started television broadcasting in 1941, and began color television in 1954.

In 1987, it directly operated 5 TV stations, 6 medium wave radio stations and 7 FM radio stations in cities such as New York.

There are also more than 200 TV stations participating in the radio network through contractual relationships, forming a national radio and television network.

In December 2018, the World Brand Lab released the "12 World's Top 2018 Brands" list, in which CBS ranked 500st, making it a well-deserved giant in the American media industry.

At this time in the CEO's office, a woman in her early thirties with big wavy hair was frowning.

She is none other than the current CEO of CBS, Shari Redstone.

It was not until five minutes later that she said to a woman standing opposite her, "Book a ticket to Los Angeles."

The next day, the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service welcomed its first media tycoon, John Malone, who was in a very convenient position in Los Angeles.

Because it was not yet time, he was arranged by the IRS staff to wait in the rest area.

But soon, when he saw a few people walking not far away, his eyes suddenly became sharp, because the people coming were none other than Sally Redstone and her group.

When Sally saw John sitting here, her expression was stunned for a moment.

The media circle is so small, and the two of them are giants in the circle, so it is natural that they know each other.

"Ms. Sally, why are you here too?"

Today, David not only called him over, but also invited the CEO of CBC. It seemed that things must be complicated, so John came forward immediately to exchange opinions with both sides.

"Yes, Mr. John, you were also invited here by Director David, right?"

John gave a wry smile and nodded.

"Mr. John, Ms. Sally, why are you here too!"

While the two were talking, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind them. After turning around, Sally and John were stunned again.

The person who came turned out to be the boss of CNN, Ted Turner!
In other words, today David didn't just meet with one of them, but invited the three giants of the American media industry!
and many more……

Since we have invited these three here, there won’t be others coming next, right?
Or... Murdoko was also invited?
While the three of them were still thinking, Keppel came over and said to them, "Mr. Ted, Mr. John, Ms. Sally, our director is ready to see you."

The three people who heard this suddenly came to their senses and looked at each other involuntarily.

Now that David can see them, it means that there will only be three of them today, no one else.

But this is not the most important.

The most important thing is that the majority of the American media industry is now controlled by Murdoch's News Corporation.

The rest of the companies can either be dependent, be controlled, or become subsidiaries directly. Basically, only these three parties are still struggling to survive.

The reason why they have been able to struggle to avoid being acquired or controlled by News Corporation is not because of how strong they are, but because antitrust laws are protecting them.

If it weren't for this protection law, given the strength of News Corporation and Freemasonry, they would have been swallowed up long ago.

Now the News Corporation led by Murdoch is launching a media attack on David. At this critical moment, they specifically found the three of them. Could it be that...

The three seemed to have guessed something, but in order to verify whether it was true, they could only quickly follow Keppel's footsteps and come to the door of the director's office.

"Come in."

Hearing the sounds coming from inside, Keppel pushed the door open and waited until John and the other two went in before she walked out and closed the door.

"Mr. John, Mr. Ted, Ms. Sally, thank you for coming to see me today."

"That's not right, Director David. Cooperating with tax investigations is the responsibility of American citizens..."

"John is right. Since Director David has invited us, we have to come over no matter how busy we are."

"That's right, that's right."

Since receiving David's notice, the three of them could not have slept well all night, but since they were already here, they still had to put in some superficial effort.
