American Tax Officer-Chapter 635 - 320: Follow Me and You’ll Have Meat to Eat

Chapter 635: Chapter 320: Follow Me and You’ll Have Meat to Eat

Watching the three individuals express themselves, David nodded with satisfaction. However, he also noticed a subtle unease among them and reassured them, “Don’t worry. I called you here today not to target you, but to offer you a benefit.”

“Benefit?”

The three exchanged glances, skepticism lurking in the depths of their eyes.

David’s tactics were well-known; no one who had been approached by him was known to have gained any benefit. Instead, one by one, they would either bleed profusely or be skinned.

“That’s right. The Wall Street Journal, along with a host of other media, have recently launched fierce attacks against me. As members of the media industry, you must be aware of this.”

“Regarding this matter, I must explain, Director David, that the Wall Street Journal and the other media outlets have nothing to do with me. It wasn’t me who instructed them to do this!”

...

John, fearful of being misunderstood by David, hastily clarified.

“I too must clarify this: the Wall Street Journal and other media outlets are not part of our CNN. I have no involvement in this matter.”

“We at CBS are in the same position…”

Sally and Ted also stated their positions.

David waved his hand dismissively. “I know this has nothing to do with you. These are all media outlets under News Corporation. The reason I’ve come to you is to let you know of a matter and propose a collaboration.”

“Collaboration? What is it, Director David?”

Sally asked, slightly puzzled.

“I’m preparing to make a move against News Corporation!”

Upon hearing this, the three didn’t show much surprise. Instead, a sense of relief appeared on their faces.

With the Wall Street Journal and other News Corporation media companies relentlessly attacking David’s promotion these past days, it would be strange indeed if David didn’t retaliate.

“However, taking down News Corporation or their boss, Murdoch, does not necessarily guarantee my peace. The Jewish people can still support another Murdoch to rise to power and continue the relentless pursuit of me. So, my suggestion is… why don’t you take control of News Corporation?”

At these words, the three’s expressions changed instantly.

Before they even stepped in, they had guessed that David might use them to deal with News Corporation, but they never thought about being asked to control News Corporation themselves.

In fact, they didn’t even dare to entertain the thought.

You see, News Corporation was not merely Murdoch’s; the reason for its rapid growth and near-monopoly status was primarily the Jewish People, who valued the influence of media and self-packaging, sparing no effort in supporting such a group.

If David himself wanted to tackle News Corporation, it was one thing, but suggesting their involvement in attempting to gain control was another. Wouldn’t that be inciting them to oppose the Jewish People?

They were well aware of the formidable energy of the Jewish People and Freemasonry. They certainly didn’t want to go down that road unless absolutely necessary.

Considering this, John, a seasoned fox of the industry, shook his head immediately. “Director David, you flatter us too much. Although we hold some sway in the industry, News Corporation is a behemoth, and it’s the ‘lifeblood’ of Freemasonry. We can’t meddle in that.”

“Don’t be so quick to refuse, Mr. John. You are a magician of capital operation in the media world. In TCI’s history, you’re known for completing a transaction every two weeks on average. Your method of capital operation is unparalleled and commands the admiration of many…”

John Malone was known as the Genghis Khan of the media industry, mainly because his capital operation skills were so formidable.

His magic in the securities market even puzzled Wall Street and investors. Those acquisition behaviors and stock manipulation tactics were nothing short of works of art. That was why David sought him out now.

“Now, I have not yet announced an investigation into News Corporation. Once I do, there will surely be a huge disturbance in the stock market. With your skills, controlling a group like News Corporation might be somewhat challenging, but taking control of a single newspaper like the Wall Street Journal shouldn’t be a problem!”

Listening to David’s lavish praise, John’s expression changed uncertainly, but after some thought, he did not want to get involved in the conflict between David and the Jewish People and replied, “Director David, those are just empty titles others have bestowed upon me. I’m afraid I’m not up for the task you’re speaking of.”

“Mr. John, do you know what Genghis Khan represents?”

John, who faced David’s penetrating gaze, kept a stern face and showed no intention of taking up the conversation.

“Genghis Khan conquered vast stretches across Europe, Asia, and Africa with incredible might and was seen as an exceptional hero. You, in America’s media industry, have been similarly titled as the Genghis Khan. But now, it seems that title may not suit you after all. You may be more fitting as ‘Louis XVI’!”

Upon hearing this, John’s face immediately turned shades of green and purple.

Genghis Khan was the conqueror of vast regions across Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Louis XVI, on the other hand, was a king of France, and his end was well-known: he was sent to the Guillotine.

Now, referring to him with such a disgraced monarch implied more than just a personal attack; there might be a deeper and more significant meaning behind it.
