Chapter 499 Only Children Make Choices
"Hey……"

With a long sigh, Murdoch never thought that an inconspicuous oriental man would bring him such a big loss.Such a strategy at such a young age.

Wei Xun just waited upright like this. After several years of hard work, he finally waited for a good opportunity that could kill him with a blow.

An ordinary person who was lost in the vast crowd and couldn't be found at all, when he really started to face him, the matter had reached the point of no return.

The London District Court has announced that it will accept the case of Goodman and Mulgari stealing the communications of the royal aide, but according to various indications, the British royal family or the Magpie Group have far more evidence than this.

The 74-year-old Murdoch has aged a lot all of a sudden. Looking from a distance, he looks like he is dying. I really feel sorry for him.

As long as those celebrities who were hacked by the "News of the World" and "The Sun" filed a lawsuit in the London court together, the opponents of News Corp. would continue to pursue the situation, and Murdoch was worried.

Without the intervention of the London court, guiding public opinion will crush News Corporation to death.

If the other extreme victims of wiretapping in the Mulgari case also decide to file a lawsuit, those celebrities who have been suppressing themselves and suspecting that they have also been hacked will definitely ask Scotland Yard to release the wiretapping records in Mulgarry's notebook .

That is a wiretapping list of more than 2000 entries!
As long as they file a lawsuit, the editorial departments of "News of the World" and "The Sun" will surely become victims of wiretapping again.

The status and influence of News Corp. in England will also continue to decline. This is what Murdoch does not want to see. That is what he spent decades building!

The reason why Prince Charles agreed to his invitation should also understand the meaning. News Corporation has reached the time when a strong man cuts off his wrist.

The London store of Magpie Catering is still the familiar box with the prefix plum, but this time Wei Xun and Prince Charles are waiting together.

"Rupert will come in a while, you have to control your emotions, what's the matter, wait until we succeed in getting what you want, and it's not too late to explode."

In the eyes of the old prince, Wei Xun was still a young and vigorous young man, and Prince Charles was afraid that this stinky boy would not be able to hold his breath. If the Magpie Group and Murdoch's News Corporation were to face off, the victory or defeat would be obvious.

"I understand His Royal Highness, everything is under your command today, and I will definitely not interrupt."

"Good good!"

Prince Charles said hello three times in a row, patted Wei Xun on the shoulder, and his face was full of approval. If this was in China, Prince Charles would have made a polite comment by now:
Children can be taught!
After the two drank another cup of tea, a tall royal family member reported from the official that Mr. Murdoch had arrived downstairs.

According to the specifications of Prince Charles, there is no need to meet Murdoch, and this task naturally falls on Wei Xun.

At the corner of the stairs, Wei Xun saw this old man whom he had only seen in videos and pictures.With the growth of age, Murdoch's hair has long been graying, and the sparse hair volume and deep-set eye sockets make this old man look a little sly.

Murdoch naturally noticed the young man standing at the corner of the stairs. He did not wear the uniform of the British royal family, so obviously he would not be Prince Charles' personal officer.

"Then this must be the Nottsshire boy?"

"Humph!"

With a light touch on Wei Xun's outstretched right hand, Murdoch passed by Wei Xun's side, and he didn't forget to snort when he passed by.

Wei Xun still kept a smile on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart:
"Bah! You bastard exploiting class of the US imperialists!"

Anyway, after a while, "News of the World" will belong to the Magpie Group, and I can't afford to be angry with this old man. I have already lost the battle, and I am quite airy.

If you act like a ghost, don't you still follow Lao Tzu's way?

By the time Wei Xun ordered tea and snacks to be brought up, the greetings between Murdoch and Prince Charles were over.

Without so many fake polite words, Murdoch took out two documents from his bag, one for himself to read, and the other for Prince Charles.

"Culson and Lance have already resigned, and they will also be investigated by the police. More than half of the reporters from the two newspapers have resigned. This is the terms of reconciliation drawn up by us. If there is no objection, I hope His Royal Highness can take the lead sign..."

Without any sloppiness, Murdoch chose to get straight to the point. Except for not preparing an agreement for himself, everything he did made Wei Xun feel good about this Australian-born old man.

There were only two contracts in the three-person negotiation, which Murdoch apparently did on purpose.In the bottom of his heart, he didn't think that relying on the energy of Wei Xun and the Magpie Group alone, he could wrestle with him. Wei Xun was just hugging the thigh of the British royal family.

In this level of negotiation, it is obviously Prince Charles who can call the shots, so there is no need to prepare another agreement for Wei Xun, which is a waste.

"Rupert, I've read your agreement, and I can accept it, but they haven't reached the point of stopping the publication directly. I want the ownership of the newspaper more than cash compensation."

Murdoch will take out 100 million pounds to compensate the victims of the civilian class. At the same time, the "Sun" and "News of the World" will be suspended to eliminate the major impact of the hacking incident.

"I'm afraid this does not comply with the regulations, Your Royal Highness?"

"Hehe, of course it's not me..."

Prince Charles glanced at Murdoch with a smile, then pointed to Wei Xun who was sitting aside:
"The British royal family will naturally not take ownership of the two newspapers, but Wei's Magpie Group can."

Now it's Murdoch's turn to be surprised, thinking that the British royal family is really kind to their dog legs, and the two well-known newspapers have decided on their way?
"Then which one do you want?"

"What's the price for one family, and what's the price for two?"

Originally, Wei Xun thought that it would be good to win the "News of the World", but now looking at what Murdoch means, it seems that the gossip giant "The Sun" will also stop publishing. If there is a chance to win these two newspapers, Wei Xun Xun still decided to try his best.

Only children make choices, and Wei Xun wants both.

Murdoch originally wanted to reprimand Wei Xun and tell him not to push his feet, but after carefully savoring Wei Xun's meaning, he suddenly felt that this kid was quite cute, and he actually wanted to spend money to buy "News of the World" and The Sun.

"I have sold you for 500 million pounds. If you are sure you want to buy them, you can go to the notarization of the transfer agreement this afternoon..."

Murdoch didn't say much. Now that they have reached this point, there is no need to make things too complicated. The two newspapers are now indignant, saying that they are notorious is already doing good deeds.

It can be predicted that if large-scale adjustments are not made, the sales of these two newspapers will drop sharply, and the income will also plummet. With such a huge team of reporters and paparazzi, it is very likely that they will not be able to make ends meet.

Under such circumstances, he could still sell the two newspapers that he was planning to shut down for 500 million pounds, which already satisfied him.With the 500 million pounds, he can go to the United States and Australia to buy several TV stations.

"Cheap! Buy it!"

"Hehe, okay, at three o'clock in the afternoon, I'll be waiting for you at the London headquarters of the News Corporation. Cash is paid, and we won't wait if it's overdue!"
