After sending the angry Nasha away, Dulin returned to the office. He had long known that when his tape began to become popular, that was when the predators began to enter the market.
The capital power of these giants needs a mouthpiece that belongs to them. The newspaper industry is firmly controlled by the George family. They have no way to intervene. If they want to find another way, they can't find any good way. At this time, Du Lin opened a window for them, and also opened the door. In this brand-new industry, there are no rule makers yet, and everyone may become the final winner of this industry.
Therefore, a large amount of capital will soon pour into this industry, but Dulin is not worried about this. Instead, he hopes that more people will enter this industry. When there are more people, competition will be fierce. If the competition is fierce, some people will fail to invest and suffer losses. At the same time, this also means that some people are making money. If any industry has not gone through such a process of ups and downs, new challengers will continue to appear.
If there was no such mixed competition, Dulin might have to face a certain consortium alone at some point, or a tycoon who plans to cross industries. Then the pressure on him would be much heavier, and the difficulties he would face would also be greater. More troublesome. Only when everyone is put on the same plate at the same time, and only when no one else regards themselves as opponents, will it be possible to win by surprise and eliminate everyone. At that time, after being baptized by cruel business wars, Dulin's Empire Star Media Company will devour those losers and turn itself into a giant.
There will be no new challengers. Dulin will monopolize this industry. He will set standards and rules of the game, and everyone must play according to his will within his framework.
Moreover, he still has many big weapons in his hand that he has not yet used, such as various TV series, various programs, various interactive programs... As long as he wants, he can create an unprecedented program anytime, anywhere, and firmly hold all the viewers in his hands. Sometimes being first does not necessarily mean being the strongest, but being first means attraction.
For the entertainment industry, for the television industry, attraction is the most important thing.
Watching Nasha get into the car and leave the gate of the city hall from the window, Dulin suddenly had an idea in his mind, whether to set up a trap to swallow up the George family.
This idea is very tempting, and it is not completely impossible to operate, especially since the news brought by Nasha's trip also indirectly shows the attitude of the two generations of leaders behind her. Dulin can understand them. If the television tape industry has had the greatest impact on anyone, it is undoubtedly newspapers. The charms displayed by the two completely different media are completely incomparable.
In the world in his dream, the circulation of newspapers is declining year by year, or the living space of traditional paper media is constantly being squeezed to the brink of death by visual media. Maybe it seems that TV tape has little impact on the George family now, but what if a roll of tape appeared in people's newspaper boxes every day? What if you could learn about the latest happenings and be entertained every day through this roll of tape
Or even... what about the advent of cable TV
Dulin didn't know whether Mr. John had this idea, but he knew that the other party must have felt a sense of urgency and would immediately think of acquiring his property. On the one hand, it is to prevent the explosive development of Empire Star before the George family company develops. On the other hand, it also wants to completely swallow up everything that threatens it, whether it is people or industries.
Nasha was just the first step. The next step would probably be her father, or even her grandfather appearing in person. To be honest, Dulin still feels a sense of accomplishment for being able to attract such a big shot to a poor place like Otis.
Unfortunately, his good mood did not last long before he was ruined by Du Fu.
Dufo walked in with a gloomy expression. The most important thing was that he was holding a child in his arms. A child who looked to be only one or two years old was lying in his arms with tears in his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Dover is similar to all Guarts. There are many younger brothers and sisters in the family, so he has already mastered the skill of raising children. He carefully placed the child in his arms in a baby basket, a longer basket made of woven rattan. Then he asked Dove to send the child to the lounge inside, and then he walked over to Du Lin and smoked a cigarette.
Du Lin didn't speak, he was waiting for Dufo to speak.
After smoking a cigarette, Du Fu smiled bitterly. He scratched his hair hard, making the combed hair become messy.
"I may have to leave for a while." He took out another cigarette, lit it and continued to smoke, hunched over the window sill, "Something happened over there with Vivian, I'm not too sure Don’t worry, it will take about three days to a week.”
In the morning, a somewhat familiar middle-aged man gave Dufo a basket. In the basket was the child, who was also Dufo's child. That middle-aged man was the housekeeper of Vivian's father. Before she left the Governor's mansion, that middle-aged man was taking care of her. When Vivian found him this time and asked him to send the child to Dufo, he realized what might be going on.
So after seeing Dufo's appearance, he said to Dufo, "Mr. Dufo, please follow your heart and make your choice. No matter what choice you make, I believe Mrs. Vivian will not will blame you."
After he said this, he left, leaving only Dufo, who had not yet recovered, and the child in his basket.
He had been smoking cigarettes all morning while taking care of the children. Only now did he make a decision. At least he would not regret it or hate his decision some years later. He was going to see Vivian. What on earth had happened to warrant sending the child to him.
Du Lin did not stop him, nor was he qualified to stop him. This was Dufo's family matter and it was not convenient for him to interrupt, but he made his own suggestion, "If you have decided, you can leave at any time. It is best when you go back." Bring Kena with you, and let him bring his 'fishing rod'."
"I knew what was in that box was not a fishing rod!" Dufo hit the wall with his fist, and some patent leather fell off the outer wall. "What's in it? A gun?"
Dulin shrugged, "You just need to know that it's something that can help you."
Duffer patted Du Lin's arm, waved and turned to leave. Du Lin suddenly stopped him, "Do you remember why we were imprisoned in Tenel?"
Du Fu bared his teeth and smiled brightly, and turned around again.
He then found Kena and said that he needed his help with something. Although sometimes the two of them would sarcastically mock each other, this time Kena didn't say a word and walked back to the house to take out the box containing the "fishing rod". He came out, carried it on his back, and followed Dufo without saying a word.
Dover was actually a little touched. Keena was Du Lin's "friend". Although he was also his friend, he had no reason to take risks for him because he was not Du Lin. But Jina was able to follow him without asking anything or saying anything, which gave him a feeling of "satisfaction" spreading.
The two of them got on the steam locomotive back to Turnel. The journey was very long, and both couldn't help but ask, "What's inside?"
"It's whatever you think it is, such as a fishing rod." Keena still looked straightforward, showing two rows of white teeth when he smiled, with a bright face.
At this time, Vivian was in the Governor's mansion, and the Governor was in very bad health. Since the beginning of the year, he has had some physical problems. The doctor said that it is because of the decline of his body function that he can no longer meet his body's nutritional needs by drinking milk alone. The chefs tried their best to make some nutritious things into liquid food for the Governor to drink, but the effect was very poor.
At first, he would vomit every time he ate it. His stomach had not been exposed to oil star for a long time, so he had a huge feeling of rejection. Later, he got a little better. It can only be said that he could barely maintain his body without sudden failure, but the problem Still so serious. Every day that passed, he was one step closer to death. The old man seemed to know that he might not live long, so he had a good attitude. As a result, he survived for two months longer than the doctor predicted.
A few days ago, when Mrs. Vivian was promoting affirmative action on the street, a car lost control and crashed into her. She reacted at the moment she was about to be hit and avoided fatal injuries. But she knew that the man was sent by Peter.
Her relationship with Peter had reached a freezing point. There had been many quarrels around the topic of divorce, and Peter even did not hesitate to say cruel words to threaten her, including killing her.
Killing her and divorcing her will result in Peter becoming the same person, but in a different nature.
If it is a divorce, his political career will face a difficult difficulty, but if Mrs. Vivian dies in an accident, not only will his political career not have problems, but it will win people's sympathy.
Mrs. Vivian, who knows Peter's character well, has realized that Peter has made a "decision." She immediately asked the housekeeper of the Governor's Palace to send her child to Otis City. If something happened to her, at least her child would survive.
The Governor lay on the bed and watched what his daughter was thinking about. After a while, he disturbed her thoughts by saying, "Are you thinking about Peter?" When Mrs. Vivian said no, the Governor laughed. He continued: "When I didn't let you marry him, you thought I was murdering your love, but what now? What did you get? Where is your love?"
