131. Give up your position to keep you from going to jail
The abc television station provided complete evidence and broke the news, which caught the Moon Newspaper off guard. It can be said that the three parties recognized it as real authority, and there is absolutely no possibility for the Moon Newspaper to stand up.
Thomson found Vladimir's secretary Andrei through a personal relationship.
I hope Andre can help solve this problem.
The two made an appointment to meet in a quiet cafe.
When they met, Thomson said that there was no problem in apologizing. As for the exorbitant compensation, could he give a symbolic compensation?
In this matter, Andre lowered his attitude extremely low, so low that Andre felt that he was no longer the arrogant and coaxing newspaper president, but more like a lowly and low-level person.
Unexpectedly, Andre told him very forcefully that symbolic compensation was impossible. His boss had already set the tone and one billion dollars was the minimum.
"Isn't this blackmail?" Thomson was a little annoyed and couldn't help but tap the table with his fingers.
"Mr. Thomson, I don't know who is blackmailing. I only know that we are the victims. If you don't comply with our demands, we will appeal to the court because your false information will have a fatal impact on our boss."
He is currently unable to work normally and his health has become very poor. You must know that he is the future heir of the Ivan family. Putting aside the reputation and mental damage caused to the Ivan family, just those who cooperated
The losses caused to us by the party's unilateral breach of contract would have to be calculated in hundreds of millions."
The fat on Thomson's face couldn't stop trembling. After ABC News broke the news, he also checked the relevant information of the Ivan family and was surprised to find that the current net worth of the Ivan family is between 60 and 80 billion US dollars.
time, obviously if a loss is caused, compensation will definitely be calculated in units of hundreds of millions.
"Mr. Andre, the amount of compensation you request is too huge, and our newspaper simply cannot afford it." Thomson shook his head, "We hope to strengthen cooperation in the future, and we will not report any negative information from your newspaper in the future.
How are the conditions?"
"Isn't this in vain for your conscience as a conscientious media?" Andre said in surprise.
Seeing that there seemed to be some room for maneuver in this matter, Thomson said: "Our Moon Newspaper is not a mainstream newspaper, so it is normal to automatically filter some information. Besides, there are several media in Yingguo that are truly objective and fair.
It's driven by profit, but the information you provided this time is true, and it won't offend anyone else. ABC TV reported this. If the boss of our Moon Newspaper were those congressmen or powerful figures, do you think ABC TV would dare to do this?
Do you report it?" At the end of the sentence, Thomson looked proud.
"Mr. Andre, you have to believe me. For this symbolic compensation, our Moon News will remember your kindness. If you have any enemies in the future, with just a little bit of information, we can serve you at any time."
Andre smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Thomson, I'm afraid we won't have this opportunity."
"Why?" Thomson stared.
At this time, Andre took out a mini recorder and said, "Here, it's all in here."
Thomson instantly sat on his chair. Even in an air-conditioned room, dense beads of sweat could not stop appearing on his forehead.
Unexpectedly, the methods they used in the past were actually used by others on themselves today.
After a while, Thomson murmured, "Andre, are you actually plotting against me?"
Andre snorted coldly: "I'm sorry, President Thomson, it was you who tricked me first. I give you two choices. You obediently give up your position as president or I provide this evidence to the police. I want to follow the instructions of Yingguo
According to the law, I'm afraid you'll have to be sentenced to several years in prison."
Thomson did not expect that the Moon Newspaper he had worked so hard to establish would be destroyed by this incident. You must know that in those days, the Moon Newspaper exclusively reported the sudden death of Mr. Nicholas, a wealthy businessman of Ying nationality and Maozi descent, which made their newspaper just
Advertising revenue is in the millions of dollars, who knows what it is right now...
Thomson slumped on the chair like a puddle of mud this time. It wasn't until Andre patted his shoulder that he regained some consciousness.
"Give up your position as president, and we guarantee you won't go to jail."
After being at a loss for a while, Thomson uttered a sentence with difficulty. He felt that this decision was the most difficult decision he had ever made in his life, "Okay."
"Well, for a veteran gentleman like you, leaving with dignity is the best choice." After saying this, Andre walked away.
…
Vladimir obtained the ownership of the Moon almost effortlessly. The new president of the Moon was Abraham, the senior editor who had been suppressed by Thomson for a long time.
Abraham was a mulatto, and his skin color alone made Thomson, an Anglo-Saxon, very discriminatory in his heart.
Therefore, when Abraham became the new president of The Moon, he became Vladimir's mouthpiece on the hidden front.
First, the Moon newspaper targeted Samedov, one of his old enemies.
The reason for the attack is very simple, that is, Samedov’s domestic violence against his ex-wife Kate.
Samedov was very angry when he saw the report in the Moon Newspaper. He originally negotiated an investment worth 200 million US dollars with a German businessman. However, because of the scandal, the always rigorous German businessman directly canceled the investment.
In this transaction, Samedov lost more than ten million dollars in one fell swoop.
The suspicious Samedov did not dare to go to the Moon Newspaper to trouble him, except that he made a statement saying that his divorce from his ex-wife, Ms. Kate, was due to emotional discord between the two parties, rather than other factors. He knew that if the Moon Newspaper targeted him
, maybe his other scandals will be further unearthed.
Secondly, the Yeluo family also suffered. The target of verbal criticism from the Moon News was Artyom. The reason was very simple, that is, Artyom’s personal life was chaotic. In order to prove the objective authenticity of the report, this time even the pictures were included.
There are several.
Artyom's mother Ye Liya was very angry about her son's corrupt life in London. She summoned Artyom back to Moscow from London with just one phone call. After seeing him, Ye Liya scolded him.
Ye Liya is the third wife of Ovich, the head of the Yeroo family. The first two wives gave birth to Ovich's two children, Yekaterina and Borovsky respectively.
In order for Artyom to become the heir of the Yeroo family, Yelia decided to let Artyom go to Nyar to be with the special envoy Pugachev.
