Chapter 5642: Using Money to Attack People

(PS: Congratulations to the readers of "Tu丶1991". You successfully passed subject three today and will soon get your driver's license! The cheating of the driving school is still vivid in my mind! Congratulations again!)

"Allison, please leave! For Lydia's sake, please leave!" Amanda Hester said in a serious tone.

Ellison barged in like this, which made her very dissatisfied. She knew that there had been a lot of opinions about Lidya within the family recently, and there were also a lot of sarcastic remarks. She knew that Lidya was having a hard time in the family recently. Maybe Ellison came to stand up for Lydia. But no matter how good your reasons are, that's not why you barged into a Hearst family meeting.

"Leave? I will leave of course. But I have to wait until I finish speaking before I leave!" Ellison held his cigar in his mouth, looking like he was tugging.

Naturally, Ellison's tugging was met with roars from many Hearst families, all of whom shouted "Get out!"

Ellison smiled crookedly.

"A bunch of roosters and thieves, what else can you do besides bullying women!" Ellison said sarcastically.

Undoubtedly, such a sarcastic attitude made everyone angry.

"Security! Security! Drive him out!" The crowd roared.

Faced with the roar of the crowd, Ellison just blew out a smoke ring from his mouth, looking contemptuous and completely ignoring them.

Naturally, everyone became even more furious.

"Okay, please be quiet!" Amanda shouted coldly.

"Allison, do you have to ask me to kick you out!" Amanda's tone was extremely angry.

Ellison still looked unruly, but at this moment, he finally had the hateful cigar in his hand.

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you, and you don't deserve my nonsense at all. In one word, 1 billion US dollars! My 'Oracle' bought all the advertisements for your newspapers, 1 billion US dollars a year! Compared to your 730 million US dollars last year Income, I’ll give you $1 billion! And sign a three-year contract!” Ellison said with a arrogant tone.

$1 billion! In an instant, there was silence in the conference room. You know, everyone is meeting this time. They were discussing how they had offended the eight major families. Because they had offended the eight major families, all their advertising contracts for next year were gone, which generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every year. That's no small sum. Especially for the declining newspaper industry, this income is by no means a small figure. They care about this income.

Although the Hearst family also has some other income besides the newspaper industry. But those revenues only bring in millions of dollars a year. Compared to the newspaper industry’s revenue of $730 million, it’s really nothing. so. They will make Lydia angry. But now, Ellison directly spent 1 billion US dollars as soon as he came in, which is nearly 30% higher than this year's income, and the contract is for 3 years, which means that his family will have at least 3 billion US dollars in income in the next three years!

This is a number that they cannot ignore, and they are very eager to sign this contract. But thinking about their previous attitudes and Ellison's contemptuous expression, they really couldn't stand it.

Especially at this moment, Ellison sneered again, intentionally or unintentionally, which made them feel fever on their faces.

Amanda also looked angry at this moment. Ellison is clearly using money to pressure people. Breaking in so disregarding the rules. And then humiliate people in the most irritating way possible. This made her feel angry inside.

"What? No one is willing? If you are willing, I will write a check for 100 million US dollars now. Prepay the advertising expenses for the first half of next year!" Ellison took out the check book and threw it on the table.

Everyone's faces became even hotter.

"Allison, do you need to humiliate people like this?" Amanda's tone was cold.

Ellison smiled.

"Isn't it just because of money that you keep nagging my wife? Now that you have money, why, you can beg for mercy from those people, but you can't kowtow to me!" Ellison was unceremonious. Sarcasm without mercy. "Don't forget, what I gave you is real money, and they are just empty promises!"

Everyone took a deep breath. Ellison is here to take revenge for their previous disrespect to Lydia. now. Many people secretly regret it. How could they forget that Ellison is not an ordinary person? He is one of the top ten richest people in the United States, with assets exceeding 100 million US dollars. If a person like this misses even a little bit, it will feed the Hearst family for a year.

Now humiliated by it. You really asked for it.

"Allison! You've gone too far!" Amanda felt even more humiliated.

"Excessive! Not too much at all! Don't forget what you did to my wife before!" Ellison almost roared, "You can humiliate me, but you can't humiliate my wife! I'm here today just to Let me tell you, you have a pair of human eyes for nothing!”

Everyone's face was red, red. Ellison's words are really humiliating. But can they refute it now? This is 100 million US dollars! If you want to refute Ellison's peeing, the hundred million dollars might be gone! You know, even if they expel Ellison and Lydia, the eight major families will not give them $100 million!

"Well, I had a great time here today. When the contract is delivered to my desk, I will sign the check!" After saying that, Ellison blew out a smoke ring again, turned around and left.

The conference room fell silent. Ellison's remarks were very, very annoying. But no one said anything. Because, people gave money! Yes, they gave money! In this era, the one who gives money is the boss!

"Everyone, what should we do? Let's vote!" Amanda said tiredly. She was naturally very annoyed by Ellison's behavior, but when she saw the faces of these people in the family, she knew that they had compromised. Although she had just suffered a humiliation from Ellison, they would not pursue it again if people gave money. Face, face, what does it count for these people.

As Amanda expected, everyone quickly voted to sign the agreement with Ellison.

"This is for the rise and fall of the family. With this billion dollars, we can transform as soon as possible!" An important figure in the family said.

Today, traditional media has been greatly impacted by online media, especially with the popularity of smartphones. People can receive information anytime and anywhere through smartphones, which has greatly exceeded the limits of traditional media. Real-time updated news is something that traditional media cannot do. Therefore, traditional media needs to transform. The Hearst family is the same. It's just that without money, they can't transform. And Ellison's money can help them transform.

Then, everyone nodded in support. As for Ellison's humiliation, naturally no one mentioned it again. As if it had never happened.

"Larry, you went to the company today!" Lydia also received the news quickly.

"Dear, I went, whether you are happy or not, I went. I said that when you were willing to marry me, I told myself that in this life, I would never let anyone bully you again. No matter who it is, no one can bully you!" Ellison gently held Lydia's face, "I can't give you anything, but not letting you cry, not letting you feel sad, is the only thing I can give you!"

Originally, Lydia still had some complaints, thinking that Ellison's fuss was a bit too much, but after listening to Ellison's words, there was no awkwardness in her heart. Her man stood up for her, what else should she be awkward about. Those people in the family did go too far. They deserved it! Besides, Ellison gave a 100 million-a-year contract, which would only benefit the family, not harm it. She knew the family's current situation very well, and 100 million dollars would be enough for the family to complete its transformation!

While they were talking, Jobs also approached Tang Jun, the president of Phantom Technology.

"Hello, I'm Jobs!" Jobs said directly, "I want to join Phantom Technology, is that okay?"

Tang Jun was flattered when he received Jobs' call. Tang Jun admired Jobs very much. Because this person was truly a leader in the industry. After hearing that Jobs was expelled from Apple, Tang Jun also considered poaching Jobs. But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. Who is Jobs? How could he condescend to Phantom Technology? Maybe his boss Lin Feng could poach him, but he couldn't poach him himself. So he gave up the idea.

Who would have thought that Jobs would call in person? This was really a pleasant surprise.

"Yes, yes! I can give you the position of vice president and the position of chief software architect!" Tang Jun agreed immediately and offered the best conditions he could give.

Because Tang Jun knew that if Jobs was willing to come, he would definitely be more qualified for his position than himself. However, everyone is selfish. He has paid so much for "Phantom Technology", and naturally he does not want to waste all his efforts or make wedding clothes for others because of Jobs's arrival. Of course, he also has to admit that, in fact, the design inspiration of "Fuxi" comes from Lin Feng, and has nothing to do with him. All he does is administrative work and taking care of the communication with suppliers, and these can be done by any rigorous professional manager. But Jobs can create an era. There is an essential gap between the two.

But he is a human being, and he is reluctant to give up power! (To be continued.)
