Chapter 270 269. I have cut off my arm, what about you?
Eric's furious speech in front of the Los Angeles Police Department was broadcast live on TV and the Internet, sweeping across the United States in almost half a day.
He kidnapped all major television stations and newspapers and put them on the chariot. Even if they resisted in their hearts, they had to respond.
Otherwise, if you broadcast it live and then don't say anything afterwards, where is your credibility? The current American media has not fallen to the shameless level of lying with open eyes and pretending to be blind in the face of facts, especially when dealing with their own people, they dare not do so blatantly.
If you don't report, the audience will naturally be disappointed in you and then abandon you and turn to other courageous media.
There are still some less influential regional TV stations, radio companies and newspapers that are very willing to get involved in this matter to attract traffic.
Even in the worst case scenario, where all these bastards are blind, Eric will not lose out.
Because their behavior will inevitably help Lionheart Network attract countless new members. Anyway, he can make money from both ends.
Snap!
Turning the key, Eric pushed open the door.
Looking at the neatly arranged, spotlessly clean new home in front of her, Gadot felt even more touched.
"My dear, this is the house I bought for you. It has convenient transportation and is well hidden. I have wanted you to move in for a long time."
Eric pried her hand open and placed the key neatly in her palm.
"You will be the hostess here from now on. Do you like it?"
"Yeah." Gadot nodded slightly.
It had been several days, and Eric was overjoyed to see that she had finally responded positively.
Although he knew that this positive response was partly because Gadot thought that she was the only one invited to the family dinner tomorrow night, it was also a good start.
Let’s leave tomorrow night’s affairs to tomorrow night. Anyway, my mom will cover me then.
Swoosh! His arms were placed horizontally, Gadot was picked up, and the two walked inside.
At this moment, all the complex emotions that had accumulated for several days turned into desires and intertwined them.
It is noon and I am hoeing the field. Painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
Dancing with shadows, Dynasty dry red wine.
The family started a war, and they shot the eagle with their bows.
Childhood sweethearts ride on bamboo horses, and willows are planted everywhere on the ground.
Gadot soon fell into a deep sleep.
After kissing her on the cheek, Eric left. There were many things to do later and he didn't have much time to indulge in romance.
"Boss, your speech was so amazing. I was mesmerized by you!"
In the car, Carol rubbed Eric's shoulders and praised him, and her two big breasts rubbed against him from time to time.
He has the desire but is not in the mood now.
Sitting in the driver's seat, looking at Carol's seductive look, Pete couldn't help but secretly call her a bitch.
Then he added in his mind, "A very capable bitch at work!"
Eric pulled out his cell phone and called Dan Jones.
"Ms. Jones, it's me."
"I know, Mr. Cooper."
"How's the investigation going on for the matter I entrusted you with?"
The other party hesitated for a moment: "It's not going too smoothly. I'm looking for more ways to get close to Harvey Weinstein, but he has been very alert these days."
"My team is watching him 24 hours a day, but this guy didn't show any clues. Even when he was at home, the things you said didn't happen."
"What about the hotel? What about the film set? The red sofa doesn't have to be at home."
"None of them. He has never been to a hotel or a film set. Apart from the company and going home, he has only eaten with guests. However, they are all men. Harvey Weinstein is not a gay."
"That's not the case. I haven't heard of him sexually assaulting any man. Then you keep watching. Report to me as soon as you get any news!"
"Okay, boss, but I think this will be difficult. It will take quite a long time at least."
"Why? You are a top-notch super detective in the industry, and your professional ability is well-known." Eric asked.
Dan Jones chuckled and said, "Mr. Cooper, have you forgotten the furious speech you gave this morning? The whole country saw it."
"As an enemy, at this sensitive moment, do you think Harvey Weinstein will restrain himself or indulge himself? I think anyone who is not a lunatic knows that he should stay out of the spotlight, and he will definitely have this idea."
"Well, this is something I overlooked. Anyway, perform your duties well and keep an eye on him!"
"Of course, we are professionals, and Mr. Cooper, you look so handsome when you give a speech!"
"Thank you for the compliment. I'll wait for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Eric frowned and looked at Carol: "How are the victims being contacted?"
Carol was ordered these days to find actresses who were sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein. To be precise, it includes not only actresses, but also screenwriters, directors, etc.
As long as you are someone in the circle, preferably someone who has just entered the industry, and you need his help, this guy will not let you go.
There are many rumors about this half-orc in the circle, and many of his sexual assault targets have clear targets.
Some of them have already gained a certain degree of fame, while others can still only play small roles.
In the entertainment industry, you can’t become famous just by sleeping with the big guys. It really depends on luck.
For example, there is a famous saying "Jing Tian in the north, Yihuan in the south, and Zhuang Xinyan who can't become famous by singing".
Especially Jing Tian, the man behind her has wasted a lot of money for her. She has played the leading role in various domestic big productions and a supporting role in Hollywood big productions, but all she got was the ridicule of the audience.
Later, her sponsor left her. After a few years of ups and downs, she met "Sito" by chance, and finally turned her life around.
It can be seen that money is not everything in this circle. If you don’t have a good impression, then you don’t have a good impression.
But regardless of other things, Jing Tian at least has good looks, otherwise it would be impossible for the sponsors to spend so much money on her.
When seeing the appearance of those actresses who had sexual relations with Harvey Weinstein, Eric always felt that this guy was really not picky about food and could eat anything. It seemed that he was really hungry!
"According to the clues, dozens of people have been contacted privately, but most of them are cautious. They don't want to get involved in the struggle between big companies. Even some of the aftermath is enough to ruin their future."
"And many of them were threatened by Harvey Weinstein to sign confidentiality agreements, so there are currently only 11 people willing to speak out."
"These people are all small-time characters with no reputation. To be honest, boss, even if they are tied together, it feels like they are framing someone, and it won't have the final say."
“No credibility?”
"Pretty much. There's a lack of actors of sufficient stature to step forward. These small-time actors are willing to help us because they have no hope for their future."
Eric sighed. Without conclusive evidence, it would not be easy to bring down a Hollywood tycoon.
Don't look down on Harvey Weinstein just because Miramax is a subsidiary of Disney. His power is second only to the top tier, and he is rare in the global entertainment industry.
DreamWorks has also produced many high-quality films, but Spielberg's influence in Hollywood is much weaker than Harvey Weinstein's.
The most likely reason for this guy's downfall in later generations was that he was brought down by his own brother Bob Weinstein.
As a brother, Bob Weinstein had a lot of information about his brother's sexual assault. In order to fight for the company, he gave it to the media.
But where could Eric get evidence of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault in such a hurry? Without evidence, he could only rely on a few people's empty words, and at most, they could throw some dirty water like Bar Lefaeli.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If you fail to kill the snake, you will be harmed by it. The snake will not give you another chance in the future. You must give it a fatal blow.
"Carol, you continue to contact those victims, and I will find a way to find evidence."
"Okay boss."
At the same time, Eric's opponents were also in urgent consultation.
"I told you this guy is hard to deal with, but we are being taken advantage of!"
"Humph! It must be Charlie Cooper who is behind this. It's hard for a young man in his 20s to have such a plan."
"Now that we have been kidnapped, we need a countermeasure. If we follow Eric Cooper's intentions, we will be led by the nose."
"The focus now is how to protect MySpace, and that's what we should consider first."
"James, you know best whether what the Cooper kid said is true or not. Even if it is false, you have to treat it as true now. I think your website has received the complaint letter, and the Ministry of Commerce, Cyber Security Bureau and other departments should have received it as well."
James Murdoch was speechless, not to mention receiving it, after the speech in the morning.
Within half an hour, countless insults and complaints had flooded the backend of Myspace, and the staff were overwhelmed.
You can't close the channel for complaints and suggestions, otherwise the guys from the top will immediately rush to the door of Myspace headquarters to protest.
Americans are very familiar with this set of tactics. They go to protest when they have nothing to do. They have nothing to do anyway, and it can also highlight their sense of justice.
"Complaints are only temporary, like a hot spot. When a new hot spot emerges, people's enthusiasm will shift."
"Myspace cannot fail. It is our only stronghold on the Internet. I have put a lot of effort into this battle. You cannot abandon me!"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his anger. It was originally a loose alliance. When faced with the damage to their own interests, it was not a bad idea to sacrifice their allies. What's more, they could also suck a lot of traffic from the sacrificed allies.
Cursing these vampire scums in his heart, James Murdoch could only resort to his last resort.
"We are allies, we have common enemies, and your abandonment of your allies will only make people laugh!"
"Myspace has a lot of problems, but so does Facebook, which has a lot of pornography on it."
"What's more, Eric Cooper has been labeled a criminal. We must launch a more intensive attack and cannot simply let him succeed. Don't you agree?"
Everyone looked at each other, and then an idea came to their mind at the same time: it would be a good idea to recycle waste.
At night, Beverly Hills, Cooper's home.
Eric and his parents were watching TV while eating, and as expected, for news that required timeliness, no one could ignore the surging public opinion that Eric had stirred up.
Even Fox TV, which is its own TV station, had to point its gun at MySpace.
But the sneaky thing is that when these guys were discussing the Myspace vulnerability, they all brought up Facebook as well.
"It is true that Myspace did play a role in these cases, but it is inappropriate to recklessly label it as a gathering place for criminals. Eric Cooper's behavior constitutes defamation."
"Besides, there is nothing perfect in the world. Moreover, as a new social media, everyone is still in the exploratory stage, and it is inevitable that some unexpected things will happen."
"Besides, not only MySpace has some borderline content, but Facebook, as a social media, also uses borderline content as a means to attract users."
"As the actual controller of Facebook, Eric Cooper must be aware of the shortcomings of his website."
"He blamed all the cases on Myspace, but deliberately ignored the role of Facebook in fueling the flames. This behavior is despicable!"
"As we all know, although Eric Cooper passed the polygraph test, we all know that the accuracy of polygraphs cannot reach 100%, which means that the conclusion cannot be completely convincing."
"For someone who may have sexually abused minors to make such a speech is a great irony and completely unbelievable."
After watching the Fox report, my mother said angrily: "Eric, these people simply ignore the facts. The police have already proved your innocence."
"Mom, I am innocent to begin with, even without the polygraph test. They just want to draw the public attention back to me." Eric sneered.
"But this method is within my expectations. What they are doing is exactly pushing MySpace into a dead end!"
When I woke up, it was the next day.
The first thing they do after opening their eyes is to turn on their computers and go to Yahoo to see what hot and interesting events are happening today. They immediately see a piece of news pinned to the top of all the major sections of Yahoo.
Facebook issued a statement: "After watching Mr. Eric Cooper's speech yesterday, the company has reflected deeply on itself."
"We realize that our management system is not perfect and there are still some loopholes."
"Especially after comparing it with other social software on the market, we are more aware of the terrible consequences that these vulnerabilities can lead to, which could very well result in loss of life."
"Therefore, after careful consideration, the company has decided to permanently close the drift bottle related business."
"We also ask the market to supervise other functions that may lead to sexual crimes. We will definitely take decisive action!"
It was signed by Fitz Heisenberg, who is known to all as the head of Facebook.
Just after this announcement was made, Fitz also updated a status on his Facebook account.
"I have already cut off my arm, what about you?"
