"As long as our taxation is fine on the surface, the rest is to prevent some people from deliberately trying to drag me down!"

Alan continued to discuss with Old Carl with a gloomy face.

Although there is no clear news pointing out that old Carl sold weapons to Koresh, this is the same as what Boss Cha meant when he asked Allen to hide in Wales after he set the fire last year.

Sometimes, when one thing attracts the attention of everyone, all other things that happen during this period are often subconsciously linked to this thing. This is all inertial thinking.

Just like this news, if old Carl is fine, then Allen must be fine too.

But if Foberer found some account books, diaries or something like that from Koresh's estate, it would clearly show that old Carl did sell a large number of weapons to Koresh.

As long as Old Carl's name appears in the news, Allen will inevitably be dragged into it because of Old Carl's identity, and he won't be able to escape.

Because of Allen's high status, he is more talked about and more suitable for hype such as conspiracy theories.

Moreover, many Americans have stereotypes about the British aristocrats, or the "fantasy aristocrats" in movies who have very luxurious living habits and elegant manners.

Either they are vicious and cunning, neither of them are good people, or they are very traditional "old aristocrats".

Although Alan is not a good person theoretically, this incident has nothing to do with him. This is what they call "the pot comes from the sky while you are sitting at home."

If Alan really planned this kind of thing, it would not be enough to just kill more than 70 people. At least the number of casualties would be ten times higher.

…

"Yes, Master, I was worried about this before I came back. As long as I am involved, if someone wants to do something, they will definitely lead these things to you."

"Well... so... these indiscriminately killed civilians are the crimes of Foberle. If they want to divert people's attention, they have to bring out another influential person to attract people's attention, such as me!"

Alan pointed at his nose, feeling a little unlucky.

"Uh... yes sir."

Old Carl nodded obediently. He was afraid of this.

"Now, in order to prevent these people from diverting the public's attention, we must first prove Foberle's guilt, so that they will focus the public's attention and be too busy to take care of themselves."

"Uh... yes, Master, look, what do you need me to do?"

"Hmm..." Alan thought for a moment, then pointed to the phone on the table and said, "Call Huth and ask him to call Siphis and ask them to come here together. We'll talk about it when they arrive."

"yes!"

Old Carl stood up and quickly called Hutt as Allen requested.

…

Media, media, it's easy to say, but it's really difficult to do. It's not like Allen's previous essays, where you can just find a newspaper to submit them to.

For news like this that closely follows current hot news, it is necessary to find a media with greater influence to handle it.

But if Allen did it personally, it would be a bit strange. He was in Britain and the incident happened in Texas, America. The two sides were so far away from each other that he had no time and no motivation to personally go and report the news there.

But if we secretly find small media, we will lose our influence.

With his hands pressed on his temples, Allen felt a little annoyed. The media tactics have troubled him many times in the past few years.

There was no such thing as Weibo or Facebook at that time, which were the means of information dissemination that would be available to the whole world with just the movement of a finger.

Although Allen had acquired several small media outlets a few years ago, they were all print media and small-scale county-level companies with extremely low output value. At that time, they were just acquired to make up the numbers.

The total influence of these media combined may not be as great as the influence of a program team randomly selected from the BBC.

It is an example of something that is not used enough and would be a pity to throw away.

But it's not like Allen had never thought about acquiring or investing in a large, influential media company before.

but……

The reality is too cruel. Even with a media like the BBC, with whom Allen has a very good relationship, he usually cooperates with them to make a TV show or poach a few people, or arrange a job for them or something like that!

But as long as he expresses the idea of ​​investing in or acquiring these companies, I'm sorry... don't even think about it.

No matter whether Allen is an earl or not, even if a duke comes, if he just refuses to sell, what can you do to him?

Forced buying and selling?

He is in the media business!

If you dare to force a sale in the morning, the news will spread all over the world before noon...

When dealing with this kind of group, you can't use such tough measures.

But if the media is too small, it would be a waste of money to acquire it.

As a result, Allen has been facing no progress in media resources in recent years, which is a headache for him.

But... he is also very clear about the root problem. The current large media groups, whether it is the BBC or CNN in the United States, actually have very complex components.

But... no matter how complicated it is, it cannot escape the involvement of Jews. In many of these media groups, Anglo-Saxons and Jews are in opposition, and in some of them, Jews hold the majority of shares.

Alan could never understand why these Jews were so keen on the media industry and so wary of outsiders.

Anyway, no one wants to play with him, so he can't get in even if he wants to. This is no longer a question of money. No matter how high the price you offer, people won't give you a chance. What's the point of a high price?

…

“Boom boom boom…”

A knock on the door interrupted Alan's thoughts.

Old Carl saw Huth pushing the door open, bringing in Siphis and Ceylon, who Allen hadn't called. He quickly stood up and called the servant on duty outside the door to bring a few more chairs.

After everyone sat down, Alan put his hands on the desk, supporting his chin, and motioned for Old Carl to tell the story again.

…

"Master...isn't your reaction a bit too much? It's just selling some arms, there's no need to do anything about it, right?"

After listening to it, Siphis expressed his opinion first. He was in the film and television industry and was not very good at these things, so he just shared his thoughts.

"No, no... Siphis, I think the young master is very conservative. Have you forgotten something from a few years ago? Because of some of the young master's movies, some people over there don't have a very good impression of the young master. Although the opinions of these people are not important, in this special period, who knows if they will jump out and say something."

Old Carl interrupted Siphis and explained to him the reason first. He was in charge of commanding many things on the front line back then and he knew everything.

"Well... even if you don't care about those people's opinions, the young master still has so many businesses in America. Carl, you have been there for so many years. In recent years, our British economy has been in recession. If the young master wants to develop his business in the future, he will definitely expand to America. If someone with ulterior motives leads to some bad news at this time, it will have a negative impact on the young master's reputation and affect the young master's future plans in America."

Hut turned his head and looked at Siphis. He did not object to their opinions, but his position was very clear from what he said.

Hut has always been unhappy about Allen's decision to focus his future business on China.

He still felt that even if the business expanded in the future, America would be the direction to expand. As for China... it was too poor and there was no money to be made there!

And heading south to Europe...

The economy in Britain is in recession, so how can we count on other parts of Europe?

We are all the same, so don't criticize anyone else.

Old Carl nodded, and then talked about the idea he had just discussed with Allen, which was to find a breakthrough from the media. Several people fell into deep thought.

Alan set his eyes on Ceylon. The reason why he didn't call her just now was because as a lady, Alan subconsciously didn't intend to let him participate in this matter. But now that Hutt brought her along, the other people have expressed their opinions. He is going to listen to what Ceylon is going to say. After all, Ceylon is his external spokesperson, and perhaps he can get some different ideas from her.

…

"boss……"

Ceylon frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about the media, and you don't have to take the initiative to do anything. The BBC will report on such a scandal in the United States. But seeing that they haven't taken any action in the past few days, I guess they are collecting more accurate and detailed materials. They are probably preparing to report a big news!"

"oh?"

Alan blinked. He had forgotten this point. Given the BBC's nature, they would most likely not miss the opportunity to stand up and mock.

This is a relief, but the timing...

We have to find a way to urge them to come out and report as soon as possible.

Moreover... as the mainstream media in the UK, BBC news is sometimes not particularly effective in America due to their own stance, so we have to... think of other ways.

…

Alan tapped the desk lightly with his index finger, attracting the attention of several people. He said seriously, "Whether it's this time or before, I have felt many times that I don't have a certain channel to speak out. If I encounter any emergencies, sometimes I am really passive. Even if the BBC can reveal the truth in time this time, what about next time? What if it's something else that the BBC doesn't care about? What should we do?"

"this……"

Hut straightened his sitting posture, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly, as if he remembered something, he quickly took out his small notebook from his chest pocket.

After flipping through the contents of the notebook, he hesitantly asked, "Master... do you want to acquire or invest in a larger media company?"

"Yes! I have always had this idea, but those few...ah."

Hut also knew that Allen often asked Ceylan to inquire about news from other media and wanted to invest in some media, but he never succeeded.

"It's like this, young master... Speaker Thomas has called you several times recently. He wanted to come to you to report on his work, but I declined on the grounds that you were busy. The last time I talked to him, I heard Thomas say that our Welsh TV station seemed to be unable to survive. It has held several shareholders' meetings and said that it was preparing to sell it, but they haven't reached an agreement on the specific information yet, so it has not been announced to the public."

"???"

Alan was stunned when he heard Hut's words.

Welsh TV?

What an old name. In Allen's memory, how should he describe this TV station...

If compared with each other, the positioning of this Welsh TV station is a bit like the provincial satellite TV station in a certain eastern coastal area in his previous life.

It's that tacky TV station that even the locals don't like to watch. It always likes to broadcast excavator or Jinkela advertisements.

This is the nature of Welsh television. In order to maintain tradition, they are still a bilingual channel.

Welsh and English coexist.

But... even if you count the entire Wales, there are less than 40% of people who can speak Welsh, and this is because Wales itself has a small population.

Think about it... out of ten people, at most four can speak Welsh, and out of these four people... maybe two of them don't watch much TV.

Who would like to watch a TV station like this?

It looks strenuous.

…

They couldn't continue operating, which surprised Alan at all. What surprised him now was that they were actually planning to sell it!

Although... the Welsh TV station seems to be not up to standard, it is a principality-level TV station after all. It may not be large in scale, but it has high standards!

Although this TV station is a bit inferior, it is one of the serious national TV stations and can be watched throughout the UK, so it does have some influence.

Since there is no way to join other large media now, if... if Allen directly takes over the Welsh TV and packages and builds it well, then... there will be great potential, right?

Anyway, this is Wales’ thing, and it’s a TV station right under our noses. Since there is a chance, we can’t miss it!

The only difficulty now is... Alan is running out of money, and if he makes a full acquisition, there will be some financial problems.

…

"Call Thomas later and ask him to arrange for someone to send me a complete set of information about Welsh TV stations."

Alan thought about it...squinted his eyes and added: "Prepare a copy of all their shareholders' information for me. Keep it confidential. Don't let them know that I'm interested in Welsh TV."

"!!!"

"!!!"

As soon as Allen finished speaking, whether it was Huth, old Carl, or Ceylon, the three of them understood instantly!

After looking at each other, Huth didn't care, but Old Carl was obviously very excited, and Ceylon...

She lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

It would be fine if the Earl of Carmarthen had no interest in Welsh things, but if something attracted his interest, then the consequences...

"Okay, Ceylon, you pay attention to the developments at the BBC these days, Huth, you go make the phone call, and Old Carl, you go take a rest first. By the way, please call Butler Capel for me and make an appointment to see where His Highness is these two days and whether he has time. I need to report to His Highness on my work!"

Alan learned and applied what he learned immediately. Since such a thing happened, he had to at least say hello to Boss Cha. If nothing went wrong, everything would be fine. If something did go wrong, it would give Boss Cha some time to react. By the way... he could make trouble in front of Boss Cha, be the first to make a complaint, and condemn the Americans.

"Okay, Master..."
