Chapter 645: Chapter 325: If I Can’t Have It, I’ll Destroy It
 

News Corporation.

“Stabilizing the Wall Street Journal is a must, no matter how many retail investors sell off, we have to compete with ‘them.’ There are also those videotapes released by the FBI in recent days…”

“Murdoch, step down, Murdoch, step down…”

In the office, Murdoch was still deploying instructions to his subordinates, but suddenly, a barrage of noisy sounds forced him to stop speaking.

At the same time as he felt a bit shocked, he immediately went to the window and looked down, only to see a large crowd gathered below.

These people had already put up banners condemning News Corporation, and the leader held a megaphone and was loudly protesting.

“This… Who can tell me what is going on?”

Murdoch asked, somewhat at a loss.

A woman near the door stepped forward and explained, “Sir, just moments ago, the Human Rights Organization held a press conference announcing their intention to condemn us over our eavesdropping scandal; these people must be organized by them…”

“What! Human Rights Organization? Why didn’t you tell me earlier! Damn that Charlotte, I had already spoken to her, and she dares to ignore me!”

Murdoch’s nose was nearly crooked with anger.

The Human Rights Organization had no other skill than to stir trouble and persistently harass.

Thus, as soon as this matter came up, he had immediately called Charlotte, the president of the organization, and even subtly threatened her not to interfere, or there would be consequences.

But unexpectedly, that bastard had ignored his words and even dared to allow his subordinates to run to the front of his corporation to protest!

“Sir, I…”

The woman was also struggling to explain.

When she came in, she saw Murdoch spitting mad while sitting and strategizing; she dared not interrupt him. But unexpectedly, before she could find an opportunity to report, people from the Human Rights Organization had already arrived.

“Bang!”

Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, the head of corporate public relations burst in, looking urgent, and said, “Sir, ever since the crowd announced their campaign against us, the public opinion against us has increased severalfold; we… we can no longer withstand it…”

Previously, although there were a lot of insults hurled at News Corporation online, News Corporation, being a media giant, had the ability to control public opinion, so they could handle it.

But with the announcement by the Human Rights Organization, a group with many followers, they were stirred into action, and they could no longer hold out.

“Bang!”

The sound of the door opening rang again; this time, it was Marion who came in, also looking urgent, and he said, “Trouble, sir. Senators Matilda and Archibald, and Congressman Hurst Antoine have launched an impeachment against us; they are even demanding that the Department of Justice conduct a thorough investigation into this matter; we… we…”@@novelbin@@

He did not continue, but the meaning was clear to everyone present.

The involvement of the Human Rights Organization was overwhelming them.

Now that members of both the Senate and House of Representatives had launched an impeachment, this was like the last straw breaking the camel’s back.

Murdoch, dispirited and shattered, slumped back into his chair, as if all the strength had been drained from his body, collapsing onto it.

At this moment, he was beginning to regret it, regretting having forcibly attempted to contend against David for the sake of the corporation; now, not to mention failing to gain any benefits from the Federal Reserve, he might even lose his ‘son,’ the corporation he had painstakingly managed for half his lifetime. This time, it seemed he was bound to suffer a great loss.

“Sir, we can no longer smooth this out on our own; I think we must ask for aid from the corporation to have any chance of salvaging the situation!”

The secretary’s reminder brought some life back to Murdoch’s eyes, and after a struggle, he ultimately picked up the phone and dialed a number.

“Speak directly.”

The phone was quickly answered, and a deep voice came from the other end.

“Mr. Henrietta, I believe you are also keeping an eye on the situation; this matter… I see it’s hard to handle it on my own…”

Unless absolutely necessary, Murdoch did not want to ask for help from the corporation, but unfortunately, it had indeed reached that critical point.

“Understood, handle your affairs, and I will inform you of the next steps to take!”

…

On the West Coast of New York, Senado Island, inside the central mansion, Henrietta, after hanging up the phone, fiercely gripped his mobile. But after five seconds, he viciously threw the phone onto the ground.

In front of him stood several servants, who did not even dare to breathe, and all hung their heads low.

After a moment, Henrietta solemnly said, “Inform Soros, Buffett, and Madu Aike… to come see me immediately!”

Three hours later, several helicopters arrived at Senado Island.

Had there been media present, they would have been surprised to find that besides financial giants like Buffett and Soros, the rest were all Wall Street stock market masters.

These people, after alighting from the helicopters, exchanged glances without much talk and proceeded to walk into the mansion.

In the mansion’s conference room, Henrietta was already waiting for them. Observing each person walking in, he only lifted his head to look once without speaking.

Approximately ten minutes after everyone had taken their seats, a bald middle-aged man then leisurely strolled in and immediately said to Henrietta, “Sorry Mr. Henrietta, it’s urgent, and I’m a little late.”
