Unbeknownst to some people, all of this was captured by a secret camera installed by the intelligence team of the Westeros family. The next day, many mainstream newspapers under the Hearst family rushed to report on the former Victorian girl The news that waiter Doris Fitcher was forced to commit suicide because of the malicious lawsuit of the Westeros family.

The public always tends to sympathize with the weak.

Not only that, but Sunday happens to be May 5st, International Labor Day.

Although Labor Day in the United States is the first Monday in September every year, International Labor Day is not a federal holiday, but on this day, domestic labor unions in the United States still organize some activities.

Instigated by the media under the Hearst Group, many union members across the United States directly blocked the headquarters of many subsidiaries of the Westeros system on that day, condemning Simon Westeros for his ruthlessness. The authorities investigated Simon Westeros for murder because they did not believe that Doris Fecher committed suicide, and there must be some dark secrets in it.

The sudden storm of public opinion, as William III wished, turned the public's attention away from the racist massacre in Rwanda.

When the Hearst Group was planning to go all out and launch a wider public opinion offensive to force the Westeros system to give up the comprehensive ban and lawsuit bombing against the Hearst family, on May 5, early in the morning on Monday, with the Hearst There were many articles in the media under the Sturt Group, and a headline suddenly appeared on the Eaglet Portal. The title was simple: "The so-called truth of 'Citizen Kane'."

The core of the news content is only a video, a video of William Hearst III instructing his assistant Roger Holes to arrange for Doris Fetcher to 'suicide'.

At the end of the article, a classic line from "Citizen Kane" that is being replayed: You create death, and I am responsible for fooling the public.

The sudden exposure of the truth caused a thousand waves with one stone.

Not only that, but the Igret Portal also released another video of William Hearst III planning to put pressure on the Westeros system by closing three newspapers and leaving a large number of workers unemployed.

The two videos are like two public opinion nuclear bombs.

The public who realized that they had been fooled immediately pointed their fingers at the Hearst family. At noon that day, the Hearst Group headquarters building in Manhattan was surrounded by thousands of people.

Because the murder was involved and had a very bad public impact, the FBI reacted quickly and arrested William Hearst III and his assistant Roger Holes on Monday afternoon. Subsequently, William Hearst The third was released after paying a huge bail of 1000 million U.S. dollars, and unexpectedly boarded a plane and fled to Europe directly.

The news broke out and once again detonated public anger.

Some of the media that had doubts about this matter, after William III fled, were completely unable to speak to the other party.

If it is said that the Hearst Group can still manage to survive in the face of the comprehensive ban and lawsuit bombardment of the Westeros system, such a huge scandal of trying to use murder to manipulate public opinion will directly push the Hearst Group into the abyss.

In the next few days, many advertisers who had not been affected by the Westeros system announced the termination of various cooperation with this old media giant in order to draw a clear line with the Hearst Group as soon as possible. Under the guidance of the Hearst Group, there was a wave of unsubscribing from newspapers and magazines under the Hearst Group.

At the same time that the FBI officially launched the investigation into the murder of Doris Fecher, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) also launched an investigation into the Hearst Group's alleged activities of creating false news to mislead public opinion.

More than 1100 employees of the three newspapers that were shut down in April, with the support of major newspaper industry unions in the United States, also initiated a class action lawsuit against Hearst Group, demanding huge compensation.

If the wind and rain are dark, the building will collapse.

Starting from William Randolph Hearst, the Hearst family has been inherited for four generations now, only William Randolph Hearst has six children, and the generation of William Hearst III has more direct descendants of the family It was as many as a dozen people.

Internal fighting had already occurred within the Hearst family when they were targeted by the Westeros system. The children of several other families once asked William Hearst III to give up control of the family business.

Now, William Hearst III has fled to Europe, and the control of the Hearst Group has become a hot potato. After several considerations within the family, the burden was finally placed on the 79-year-old Randolph Hearst. This is William Hearst. The fourth of Randolph Hearst's six children and the only surviving Hearst second generation.

In recent years, Randolph Hearst, who has been pampered and enjoying his life because he couldn't get his hands on the control of the family business, didn't know how to manage the company at all.

Now, the murder scandal, six massive lawsuits totaling $3.7 million, family strife, class action lawsuits by union-backed workers, a strong ban on the Westeros system, and the public overwhelmingly unsubscribing from Hearst newspapers and magazines ... A messy mess, let alone Randolph Hearst, who is already in his twilight years, can handle it.

However, after some discussion, the Hearst family still grasped the key point of the matter accurately.

Simon Westeros.

The only way for the Hearst family to survive this chaos is to reach a settlement with Simon Westeros.

So, on May 5, Randolph Hearst flew from New York to Los Angeles in person, hoping to meet with Simon.

In order to ease the relationship with Westeros as much as possible, Randolph Hearst also brought his daughter Patty Hearst and granddaughter Lydia Hearst, it is said that Simon Westeros is very I like Lydia, and I invited the little girl to participate in a movie under Daenerys Entertainment.

Although, in the process of discussing this matter, some people in the family also hinted that Westeros is more likely to be interested in Patty Hearst, but now they can't take care of that much.

After asking some contacts for introductions, Simon Westeros did not respond until May 5, but only invited Patty Hearst and Lydia Hearst mother and daughter together at noon in Dani Liz Studios dined, completely ignoring Randolph Hearst.

Finally, it was a good thing that the door was not rejected. Randolph Hearst personally explained to his daughter, and sent the mother and daughter to Daenerys Studios on time at noon.

Chapter 643 One Dollar (Revised)

Simon didn't want the news of his contact with the Hearst family to leak out, so the agreed lunch was not arranged in the high-rise restaurant inside the studio, but chose a lounge in the No. [-] office building in the administrative district.

The lunch appointment time is 12 o'clock.

Patty Hearst and Lydia Hearst mother and daughter arrived early at 11:5, and Simon did not keep the mother and daughter waiting too long, and arrived [-] minutes earlier.

Patty Hearst was clearly dressed up in a flattering black short-sleeved gown.This year, a woman who happens to be 40 years old has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child. Except for the accident that year, she has not experienced any ravages of life. Both her appearance and figure are completely at the level of a young woman in her 30s.

During the handshake and greeting process, she felt the aggressive gaze of the man in front of her unabashedly sizing herself up. Patty Hearst didn't feel much hatred for this young man who had pushed her family down to the brink of collapse. While being held by the man's powerful big hands, he couldn't help taking a breath, his heartbeat speeded up a little quietly, and he didn't even dare to look at him.

When the man let go of his right hand, Patty Hearst even felt a bit lost.

Simon just greeted Patty Hearst briefly, then turned to the little girl next to the woman whose figure was starting to stretch: "Hi, Lil, remember me?"

In addition to the increase in height, Lydia Hearst gave Simon the feeling that she still looked like the little witch she first saw at Sophia's daughter Gemma Fishy's birthday party, with a petite face, short lips, and a pair of Talking green eyes.

Lydia Hearst was not at all restrained like her mother in front of Simon. When she saw a man talking to herself, she completely ignored what her mother and grandfather had said in advance. She nodded her head, but suddenly asked with some questioning: " Simon, do you want our family to die?"

Simon was a little surprised to hear the little girl use the word 'Finished', but nodded with a smile: "The key is, first of all, your family wants to finish me first."

Lydia's mouth was pursed, and her short lips began to elongate. She had a tendency to turn into a little witch, and she looked at Simon with undisguised condemnation, as if you were a big villain and a big villain.

Patty Hearst didn't expect to offend Westeros just after meeting her daughter, she was stunned for a moment before she realized, and said quickly: "Mr. Westeros, Diya didn't mean it, don't mind."

Simon smiled and looked at the little girl: "Lier, did you do it on purpose?"

The little girl completely ignored her mother's hint, nodded and said: "Yes."

Patty Hearst tugged at her daughter angrily, and reprimanded: "Dia, apologize to Mr. Westeros."

Lydia felt her mother's harsh words, which she had never seen before, and immediately showed a strong expression of grievance. She looked like she was about to cry, but she stubbornly refused to apologize to Simon.

Simon didn't want to be as knowledgeable as the little girl, he just shrugged, raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said, "Sit down."

The three of them sat down at the dining table, and Miss A personally pushed a dining cart in and brought several dishes to the table.

Simon noticed Patty Hearst's curious look when he smelled the aroma of food in the air, and explained with a smile: "Chinese food today."

As one of the increasing employee benefits, both Daenerys Studios and Universal Studios in Burbank have upgraded their restaurants, adding dishes from different countries, and specially invited several top chefs as hosts. The chef, the chef of Daenerys Studios Chinese Restaurant, was hired by Simon from the other side of the ocean, so he can cook very authentic Chinese food.

In fact, it is also Simon's selfishness.

The reason why Simon has not cared much about what he eats for so many years is that, as an oriental person at heart, he has not been able to fully adapt to the Western food system.

Of course not everyone enjoys these benefits.

Simon's insistence on the originality of the employees in the Westeros system has never changed. I will give you as much as you pay.

Similarly, in the Westeros system, a person enjoys the treatment of whatever position he is in, so ordinary employees can still only enjoy batch-cooked ordinary dishes in the employee restaurant, and depending on the level, the group gives Catering subsidies are also different. Higher-level management can also use a separate high-level restaurant, and further up, the core executives of the group can customize their favorite dishes from the restaurant chef.

On the other hand, the medical, education and other benefits that the Westeros system will be upgraded one after another will also be hierarchical.

Simon will not hide this too much. He is deliberately creating a distinct level of injustice. If someone can't stand this kind of injustice, they must either work hard to climb up, or leave the Westeros system to find what they want. fair.

Through the continuous improvement of this hierarchical system for many years to come, Simon's ultimate goal is to create a pyramid-shaped 'Westerosian' system that is independent of the current social system and has a stable structure.

On the dining table in the lounge.

Very authentic Chinese food, three dishes and one soup, Kung Pao Chicken familiar to Westerners, one piece of crispy roast duck, one piece of tomato beef, and finally a simple fresh vegetable soup. The vegetable soup has been divided into three portions. Girl A finally put down the three drawers of siu mai, and then quietly exited.

Simon waited for girl A to leave, then smiled and asked the little girl opposite who was still holding her cheek: "Li'er, can you use chopsticks?"

Lydia resents the fact that some guy calls herself 'Lil' so familiarly.It's just that after her mother got angry with her just now, the little girl didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore.Seeing the man on the other side pick up a pair of chopsticks skillfully, the little girl tried to follow suit, but the two small sticks in her hand were not in control no matter what. Noticing that her mother picked up the chopsticks in a similar manner, Lidi Ya became even more angry, put down her chopsticks depressedly, glared at the two adults angrily, and planned to go on a hunger strike to protest.

Patty Hearst felt that Simon Westero probably liked her daughter's aura, so she simply stopped controlling her and ate her own food with low eyebrows, as if she hadn't heard of her daughter's anger.

Feeling the little girl's cat-like stare, Simon smiled, put down his chopsticks, picked up the knife and fork, and said, "Okay, let us use the knife and fork, and let your mother use those two strange things."

Lydia just picked up the knife and fork, carefully tasted some food on the plate, and said bluntly: "It's weird, it's not delicious at all."

Simon seemed very patient: "You can try the siu mai."

Although the taste is different from the previous meals, it cannot be said to be bad. Just hearing Simon’s suggestion, my sister-in-law can instinctively rebel, deliberately not touching the drawer of siu mai, and continuing to deal with the food in front of her. He had to look up and make a look at Simon that he didn't like at all.

But half an hour later, when the meal was over, the little girl had unknowingly wiped out all the food on the plate, and in the end she didn't even let go of the three beef siu mai in the cage.

Simon summoned girl A to come in and clean up the tableware, and said to the little girl who was obviously full of unfulfilling expressions: "If you want to eat Chinese food in the future, you can come to Los Angeles."

Lydia despised: "Mr. Westeros, our family is also very rich, and we can afford it ourselves."

Simon nodded and said casually, "It seems that in order for Li'er to come to Los Angeles more often in the future, I can only make you unable to eat Chinese food as much as possible."

When Patty Hearst heard the man's words, his heart tensed up.

The 10-year-old girl, of course, is not completely ignorant of worldly affairs. Seeing what Simon said, she immediately looked over angrily.

Simon had already got up and said, "Let's go, go to my office to talk."

The mother and daughter had no choice but to get up and go outside the lounge. Simon motioned for girl A to take care of Lydia for a while, and just took Patty Hearst into his office.

About 10 minutes later, Patti Hearst walked out of the man's office and left with her daughter.

I got into the family dispatch car directly under the office building, and when the car drove out of the studio, Lydia asked her mother beside her a little abruptly, "Mom, did you sleep with Simon Westeros?"

Patti Hearst reacted from the trance and gave her daughter a look: "Who taught you this?"

Lydia curled her lips, but looked her mother up and down, and said, "So, is our family's troubles over?"

Patty Hearst trembled a little, and raised her voice to her daughter, "Don't ask these nonsense things anymore, or I'll send you to boarding school."

Lydia curled her lips disapprovingly: "If mom can't handle that guy, I might not even be able to pay for boarding school in the future."

Patty Hearst fell silent for a moment.

Can't help but recall the situation in that man's office just now.

When the two entered the office, Simon Westero just motioned for her to sit down casually, turned to the desk by himself, and started working directly.After waiting patiently for five or six minutes, she had no choice but to take the initiative to speak and convey her father's wish for reconciliation. As a result, the man just looked at her, smiled nastyly, and asked her if she wanted to reconcile with just a few words.

Then, noticing the man's scrutinizing gaze, remembering the other's preference for women and her father's stern advice before this lunch, she hesitated a little before walking towards the man.

seem.

The heart is not too resistant.

He even vaguely hoped that the man could be rougher.

Only after she was already very proactive the man did nothing but gave her a $1 coin to pass on to her father asking what that much money could buy and said they only had one chance .

In the end she just left his office with a coin.

Leaving Malibu and returning to a mansion of the Bel Airhurst family, Patty Hearst handed the coins to Randolph Hearst and at the same time relayed Simon's message.

What can $1 buy?

If it is just a literal meaning, the members of the Hearst family who have been famous for a hundred years are really not very clear.

However, Randolph Hearst quickly figured out Simon Westero's intention to ask his daughter to hand over the $1.

The conflict between the two sides has come to this point. If the Hearst family wants to reconcile, it is impossible to just send a woman, even if they send a mother and daughter to Simon Westeros, don't try to resolve it easily.The only possibility is to give sufficient substantive compensation.

Simon Westero took out 1 dollar, just wanting to make this kind of compensation into a transaction on the surface.

As for what the Hearst family can provide to compensate Simon Westeros, apart from the media assets under the Hearst Group, there is probably nothing else that can be seen by the other party.

After getting a result that was not considered a dead end, Randolph Hearst quickly returned to the east coast and convened family members to discuss which assets under the group should be sold to Simon Westeros for $1, and what needs to be done. Which conditions to return.

Then, inevitably, there were serious disagreements within the family on the matter.

Given the extent to which the Hearst Group has offended Simon Westeros in the past, many members of the Hearst family know that the amount of compensation must not be too lower than the total of 3.7 million U.S. dollars in the six lawsuits manipulated by the Westeros system. Claim amount.However, the assets under the Hearst Group have been seriously shrunk in a series of turmoil. If a large number of assets are easily ceded to Westeros, everyone will not be reconciled.

What is even more confusing is that Westeros only gave them one chance to bid, leaving no room for bargaining.

This made the family members even more hesitant.

Now that things have developed, they don't think Simon Westeros is just bluffing.

As a result, the original opportunity to break the game suddenly became contentious.

However, the outside world did not stop attacking the Hearst Group because of the differences within the Hearst family.

Every day that followed, bad news came from the Hearst Group, so on May 5, several high-level executives of the Hearst Group could not bear the pressure from the outside world, and because the Hearst family lacked a backbone to support the overall situation, they simply They put down their picks and handed in their resignation letters together.

The current Hearst Group is already being beaten by everyone, and these high-level executives have realized that if they continue to stay, their careers may sink to the bottom of the sea along with this wrecked ship, so they should leave immediately.

With the high-level resignation, many middle and low-level managers and even ordinary employees of the Hearst Group also chose to flee, continuing to make this old media group worse.

On May 5, the bad news came out again. A well-known law firm in New York, which was in charge of resisting the lawsuit bombing of the Westeros system for the Hearst Group, also suddenly announced that it would withdraw from the case it was in charge of, losing the support of a strong legal team. The Te Group suddenly became passive in the lawsuit.

The once mighty Hearst Group was already precarious in the dispute with the Westeros system. Since the Doris Fecher murder scandal broke out in early May, in less than half a month, it has shown A state of disintegration.

Of course, it is not that no one is on the side of the Hearst Group.

In the beginning, they were filled with righteous indignation and united with many newspaper industry trade unions who initiated a class action lawsuit against Hearst Group by more than 1100 employees of the three closed newspapers. Realizing that the situation of Hearst Group was deteriorating day by day, they finally could not calm down.

You know, the entire Hearst Group is related to the jobs of more than 2 employees.
