Chapter 164 Honesty Blackburn

"Haha...of course. To be honest, I've never been to DC."

"Well, that's it. Good-bye, my dear William."

“…”

On the top floor of the Rockefeller Center, inside Milo's first office.

Chris Carey looked nervous as he watched his boss hang up the phone. He looked at his boss's overly young and handsome face.

After the boss hung up the phone, he couldn't wait to say:

"I will give you all the information about the informant right away."

Just now, Chris watched Milo make a phone call to Zipperton, who was said to be working in the Oval Office.

That was the owner of the scandal that the informant had sent to him in the brown paper bag he had just taken.

Chris broke out in a cold sweat.

He was very doubtful and doubted that he could not even leave the office.

The boss's two personal bodyguards, those two expressionless men, would throw him down from the fifty-plus floors...

That’s more than 180 meters high.

I guess even if Batman wasn't prepared, he would be smashed into a meat patty if he was thrown down.

Chris's second reaction was to run away from here.

Fortunately, Milo waved his hand, signaling him to stay calm.

Then he saw his boss bargaining with the man on the phone.

"There's no rush. We can do it before dark today." Milo said casually, noticing the traces of cold sweat on Chris's face.

He smiled again, "Don't worry, Chris, you're doing great, trust me, as long as you keep working for me, you'll live a long life."

"certainly!"

Chris immediately said firmly: "I will work for you forever, forever and ever!"

If you change jobs, you will definitely die.

Who told me to see that scene just now, even though my boss forced me to watch it.

"I trust you."

Milo smiled: "Now go prepare the things and give them to David. Then forget about what happened today and just do the job you are supposed to do."

"Yeah, yeah." Chris nodded frantically and left in a hurry.

Less than a minute after he closed the office door, Monica knocked and came in.

"Make me a cup of coffee. You know my taste."

Monica came in, ready to offer herself to him.

Hearing her boss suddenly say this, she knew that her boss would probably have more work to do next.

Monica couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mainly last night, after arriving in New York.

There are currently no others in New York.

She was the only one dealing with the big devil, and ended up getting a little overwhelmed.

My legs are still weak.

The boss doesn't need it now, so she can take a break.

"Okay." Monica nodded and went out to prepare coffee.

While Monica was preparing coffee, Milo thought about the conversation he had just had with Zipperton.

And the transaction between himself and Zipperton.

The content of the transaction was nothing more than Milo taking the initiative to warn Zipperton about the Zipper Gate in advance.

At the same time, he promised the other party that within this year, his media would not publish any related content in front of the public.

In addition, Milo's new media group, including Milo himself, will also support Zipperton's re-election this year.

As for Zipperton, he will certainly repay Milo.

The most direct reward, of course, would fall to Joseph Blake himself.

Zipperton is one of the super bosses of the Donkey Party, and Milo Dad is now a senior member of the Donkey Party.

If La Zindon is successfully re-elected this year, Joseph will definitely have a place in his cabinet.

Either the Secretary of Commerce or possibly the Secretary of Defense.

The former is because Milo hopes his father can go, and the latter is because Blackburn has a stronger military attribute.

In addition, you will definitely get your own Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This was created by Kennedy in 1963.

An upgraded version of the Medal of Freedom that replaced the one established by Truman in 1945.

It should also be the top-of-the-line version of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the only large ribbon medal in the United States.

It is also the highest national honor that an American civilian can receive.

Of course, the rewards are definitely more than that.

But for now, Milo has everything.

So apart from these two aspects, Zipperton has nothing to give back to Milo.

As for exposing the matter, supporting the Elephant Party to kill La Zipperton...

Unless the person in office is his uncle or grandfather.

Otherwise, how could Milo do such a thing that would make his loved ones sad and his enemies happy?

What's more, Milo suspected that Chris's informant was arranged by someone.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that it was sent to Milo as soon as he arrived in New York, instead of earlier or later.

Those people might be trying to arrange an informant to deliver these things to Milo.

They wanted Milo to come out and cause trouble.

After all, Milo has always been seen as impulsive and reckless by people of the same class.

Milo might do something that others wouldn't do.

Just like what Milo did a few months ago when he blew himself up in Neon.

So, that's the end of this matter.

You can use it to exchange for some benefits, but it is impossible to let Milo take the lead.

Unless it's four years from now.

At this time, Monica knocked on the door again and came in, bringing coffee to Milo.

Milo took it and asked Monica to bring up the newspaper group's briefings from the past few months.

Paladin Newspaper Group, with the support of Chris's operation for several months and Milo's continuous golden bullets.

After a few months, it has taken on a new look.

New functional departments, new equipment, new staff, new local news stations and branches.

After reporting several major news stories, the sales of several newspapers have seen a qualitative leap.

Especially the development of new markets in several states around New York, which undoubtedly made everyone in the group see that their group is gradually developing from a new newspaper group to a large-scale national newspaper group, and its influence is incomparable to the original situation.

Milo held a steaming cup of coffee, his other hand in his trouser pocket, facing the warm autumn sun in New York, squinting his eyes, silently looking down at the people coming and going on Fifth Avenue below, and the long traffic jams that were honking their horns from time to time.

He had just finished reading the newspaper's financial statements for this period and was very satisfied.

Excluding the large-scale purchase of newspapers, the company actually turned a loss into a profit.

Moreover, the profit was more than 10 million. All the advertising spaces in newspapers were sold, and they were all sold at good prices.

There is no doubt about Chris's work ability, otherwise the worry in Chris's heart just now would not be just worry.

Just now, Milo really thought about handing Chris over to Zipperton.

But in the end he didn't because he saw Chris's ability to work.

When it comes to newspapers, Chris is definitely a talent and seems to be a top-notch one.

Milo was happy to protect such people.

Now, the Paladin Group of Newspapers has one of the three major weekly magazines in the United States, World Weekly.

That is the original U.S. News & World Report.

It was renamed three months ago and its new name is World Weekly.

Except for World Weekly.

Chris also recruited a group of people to start a fashion magazine.

The name is "NYLON", which roughly means "New York London" when translated into Chinese.

Its name is a combination of the English abbreviations of New York and London.

These two places have always been important components of the world's fashion capitals.

NYLON magazine is still in the process of preparing for its launch, so nothing can be seen yet.

In addition to the two magazines, there are eleven newspapers.

Among them, three had daily sales exceeding 150,000 copies.

For example, the St. Louis Express-Post acquired by Pulitzer.

The most successful one is the New York World, which was resurrected by Chris.

This newspaper has a long history.

Founded in 1860, it was originally a religious newspaper, but later fell into the hands of a group led by the chairman of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Later it fell into Pulitzer's hands, and Pulitzer relied on this newspaper to wage a public opinion war with Hearst.

Later, Pulitzer's descendants showed disdain and the New York World went bankrupt.

After Milo took over the Pulitzer Company, he asked Chris to revive the newspaper.

Thanks to the Southeast Asian crisis and the Asian financial crisis.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Because of Milo, the boss who was personally involved in the matter, the New York World could frequently get the first news.

This allowed it to quickly stabilize, and now the sales of each issue of the New York World can be guaranteed to reach 100,000 copies.

Although it is not as big as the New York Times with 300,000 copies sold every day.

It is enough to guarantee a profit of tens of millions every year. It has to be said that Milo has succeeded again, and he has also slapped the faces of many of his colleagues who had been pessimistic about his newspaper business at the beginning.

He deserves the aura of the new upstart in the newspaper industry! After all, it is not easy to acquire a successful and long-established newspaper.

But it is not so easy to start a new newspaper and make it equally successful.

The New York World, to put it nicely, has a long history.

To put it bluntly, it is just a small remnant of history.

There are so many well-known newspapers like this one that have gone bankrupt.

Milo was able to successfully revive it, with daily sales exceeding 100,000 copies.

This is not something that everyone can do.

And Milo did it, although it was actually Chris who did it.

How could Milo not love talent?

…

…

Night falls and the lights come on.

New York at night looks like it is covered in gold under the dazzling lights, showing the prosperity of the big city everywhere.

The lights are flickering and the lights are shining brightly. Both the night sky and the buildings seem to have been swallowed up by this colorful city that never sleeps.

"cheers!"

Jinpu laughed, raised his glass and cheered to the people in front of him.

Sitting in front of him were Milo, Murdoch, and the young female companion Murdoch brought with him.

A very typical young Asian American woman, who looks Chinese.

Murdoch had just introduced her to Milo and Gimp. She was Murdoch's new personal assistant, Wendy Deng.

As for Jinpu, besides himself, there was also his daughter who came as his companion tonight.

This dinner was proposed by Gimp, with the purpose of celebrating the perfect ending of the first season of American Idol.

In fact, this variety show ended in June this year when Milo was still in Neon.

As soon as the show ended, Murdoch and Gimp mentioned to Milo about the preparations for the second season.

It doesn’t have to be filmed right away, but the relevant work can be done in advance.

In fact, the two were worried that Milo would leave them and work with other TV stations or other people.

Murdoch has an additional layer of concern.

Because when American Idol was created, there was no TV station for Milo.

But Milo now has his own TV station, which is almost as big as Fox.

Murdoch was worried that Milo would get American Idol to air on his own TV station.

Although by doing so, Milo would have violated the contract and would have to pay liquidated damages.

We also have to go to court.

But the total penalty is only $200 million.

It's nothing compared to the subsequent profits and copyrights of American Idol.

If it were any profit-seeking person. No, it should be said that it would be any normal businessman.

Even for Murdoch himself, breach of contract is a matter of course.

But Milo didn't, he told them to just let them do it.

The collaboration on American Idol continues.

Murdoch was surprised, but of course very happy.

And Gimp was also very happy because if Milo breached the contract.

Even if Milo continues to hand over the show to Gimp for production, Murdoch will definitely not give up.

The two sides may go to court.

Once the lawsuit between the two parties begins, American Idol may not be able to produce a second season for several years.

Those two people have wealthy families and great wealth, so they may not care.

Gimp can't.

The golden-haired old man's biggest cash flow income now comes from "American Idol".

Jinpu even mortgaged his shares to the bank to get some money.

If Milo and Murdoch don't get along, American Idol will be in trouble.

The first one to be unlucky was Jinpu.

Now that the cooperation can continue, Jinpu is naturally the happiest.

After celebrating the perfect ending of the first season of "American Idol", Kimp is preparing to celebrate the second season in advance.

Milo waved his hand and said with a smile, "Tang, it's not too late to celebrate next year. You really don't have to worry. I won't mess around if I say so. Although I like to mess around, I also keep my promises."

"You are the most honest person in the world, Milo!"

Giving Milo a thumbs up, Gimp looked at Murdoch, "I told you a long time ago, Rupert. Don't worry, Milo is not the kind of person you think."

Murdoch: “…”

Fuck you! Seeing Milo's gaze turned to him, Murdoch felt a little guilty.

After thinking about it, the Australian guy changed the subject and his target was still Gimp.

"Don, you and I have always believed in Milo. By the way, I heard that you are trying to buy Madison Square Garden?"

The Australian guy's method of changing the subject was a bit blunt.

But it didn't matter, Milo and Gimp didn't mind.

"Yes!"

Jinpu was very excited:

"That's Madison Square Garden! Many tourists from other places who take the train to New York see the century-old Madison Square Garden first. It is the face of New York."

"If I could have it, no doubt."

Speaking of excitement, Gimp began to gesture excitedly, "Then I will become the greatest real estate developer in New York!"

"Oh? Madison Square Garden?"

At this time, Murdoch and Gimp saw that Milo looked interested.

"Is it the Madison Square Garden that I know?"

Murdoch breathed a sigh of relief and immediately smiled and said, "Yes, it is the original MSG. It was first bought by Gulf Western Industries and later renamed Paramount Sports Entertainment Communications."

"After Redstone bought Paramount from Gulf Corporation, he didn't like running commercial sports, so he separated the original MSG part from Paramount and sold it to American Cable and ITT, each of which held 50% of MSG's shares."

"Now that ITT has financial problems, they have leaked that they want to sell their 50% stake in MSG."

"Tang was very excited when he heard about it, but he seemed to be short of funds."

Seeing Milo's interested expression, Murdoch's heart moved and he smiled:

"If it's Milo you want to buy, I think it's fine. American Cable TV can't compete with you."

"If you want, with your strength, you can even buy the American Cable TV Company directly."
