Chapter 916: Shot Again
Conrad Black's name is as well-known in the media industry as Murdoch, the president of News Corporation, because he is the chairman and chief executive officer of Hollinger International, the world's third largest newspaper group. A tycoon, but behind the company's back, he has done a lot of bullshit and scandal.
More recently, Black resigned as CEO and was removed as chairman by the board after Hollinger's internal audit found that the company had secret transfers of funds to management.
Prosecutors later charged that Black and three other former executives allegedly made $84 million in the sale of hundreds of community newspapers in Hollinger's deal, which originally belonged to the company's shareholders, and enjoyed an extremely luxurious life alone.
Now, if Black is found guilty of charges including financial fraud, improper dealing, tax evasion, obstruction of justice, and money laundering, it is estimated that it would be enough for Black to pay a $92 million fine and then spend more than 100 years in prison.
If Conrad Black, who is now in his 70s, wants to escape from prison, he must find a way to raise a sum of money to block the mouths of the company directors. Only by letting them withdraw the lawsuit can he avoid being sentenced and end up in the end of his old age. .
This is not a small opportunity for Yang Cheng. In the UK, the "Daily Telegraph" and "The Times" have the same status, and the sales volume is evenly divided. Compared with the seriousness and objectiveness of "The Times", , In-depth, and conservative, the overall style of the "Daily Telegraph" is more acceptable, just like people in country Z, few people read "People's Daily" every day.
Every word and sentence in these two newspapers affects the situation in the UK and even the whole world. They are extremely political and influential, especially among the middle and upper class groups. No matter how much the "Sun" sells It cannot be replaced.
. . . . . .
Xiaobei and his wife stayed in the castle that night again, probably because of something on their minds, Xiaobei was so drunk that Yang Cheng and Victoria couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to let him drink to death. Fortunately, the servant It's enough that Yang Cheng doesn't need to take care of him personally, otherwise he will have to kick him in the face when he wakes up.
The next day, after calculating the time difference, and guessing that Ruiz had just woken up, Yang Cheng gave instructions over the phone to initiate the acquisition of the "Daily Telegraph".
Early in the morning, Xiao Bei, who felt a little ashamed last night, got up early and borrowed the kitchen to cook breakfast for Yang Cheng and Victoria himself. The kitchen will be full after cooking a meal.
Craig Harrison and Hansen went early in the morning to investigate the office building where they found the reflection of the sniper mirror yesterday. Except for a few small intermediary companies, the rest are young people who work nearby and live here. There is a lot of traffic. Not to mention, the key is that it is too frequent and it is difficult to find out suspicious points. There is no way, Hansen can only adopt a stupid method, sending people to guard the front and back doors of the office building. As soon as he finds a suspicious person, he immediately investigates and confirms his detailed background After finding out the unit that the other party rented, they eliminated them one by one.
This is a complex job that must have enough patience, and it is almost impossible to find the target overnight.
However, they didn't wait for that. Craig dutifully carried a canvas bag and surveyed the manor, and put forward effective suggestions from the perspective of a sniper. It can be said that as long as Yang Cheng does not appear by the window, he will There is no need to worry about safety, but in this way, a new problem has arisen. If the sniper finds that he cannot complete the shooting, will he choose other methods?
The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark,
Blindly passive defense is not the answer, but if you want to attack, you really can't find the direction. David, the object of Eiffel's suspicion, is also being targeted by Kari, but it will take some time to find him.
Yang Cheng didn't even go out of the gate of the castle these days, and stayed away from the windows as much as possible. All activities were confined to the room. Fortunately, when the castle was renovated, a lot of entertainment facilities were added. I don't feel bored either, I still play fighting games with Anna and Susu in **** from time to time, and my little life is quite enjoyable.
Until the day before the deadline for the mail, it was in the afternoon, and there had just been a light rain, and the air was exceptionally clear. Due to the need for ventilation, the castle would open the windows for a few hours every day to ensure the circulation of fresh air.
After lunch, Yang Cheng took a walk with her mobile phone and chatted with Luo Yue on the phone, "When are you coming back?" Luo Yue asked in a soft voice.
"Come on, I still have some things to deal with." Yang Cheng said softly with a smile on her face.
"Okay, by the way, let me tell you something, my dad asked me to take you back to Hawaii to meet my relatives, what do you think?"
Yang Cheng agreed without hesitation, "No problem, it's what it should be. After I'm done with this, I'll fly directly to Los Angeles to find you, and then go back to Hawaii together? I just want to see a close elder, you should I know you, Grandpa Situ."
Luo Yue said in surprise, "Grandpa Situ? I didn't expect that there is such a connection between us. Wait, you are the brother Yanran talked about since she was a child, right?"
Yang Cheng was also full of surprise. She didn't expect Luo Yue and Situ Yanran to know each other. After thinking about it, she was right. They are both famous Chinese families in Hawaii. How could they not know each other? Luo Yue and Situ Yanran are about the same age, so they are easy to play with to a block.
But this fate is really unpredictable. There is such a bond between the two, but they have never met before. If it weren't for this marriage, I am afraid that they would never have met in their entire lives.
"That's right, that girl Yanran grew up behind my butt."
Luo Yue was stunned, "That's why we haven't seen her. She always loved to go to New York when she was a child, and it's rare to see her when she returns to Hawaii."
Yang Cheng laughed, "You said that if Yan Ran knew we were together, would her jaw drop?"
Luo Yue was imagining that scene, and thought it was very funny, so she couldn't help laughing.
Just when the two were chatting happily, Yang Cheng unknowingly came to a place 2 meters away from the window. He didn't realize it himself, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a twitch in his temple, followed by The fine hairs suddenly stood up, and almost instinctively moved half a step to the side~
In the next second, the bicep of the left arm seemed to be concentrated by a baseball bat, and the whole person was thrown to the ground by inertia. At first, he didn't feel any pain because of the numbness, but after only 2 seconds, he felt a burning pain in his heart. Feelings swept through his body, he had a similar experience, this was shot.
