Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 844 - This will not end
Ralph got back to Feng Yu with theinformation of the TV commentator. He works for a private TV station, and oneof the shareholders of this station is Paul Allen!
Paul has shares in this TV station? Thatmeans this TV station is quite influential. But even if Bill Gates has sharesin this station, Feng Yu will still pursue this matter! Feng Yu believes thatthey will not fall out with him over this matter!
"Boss, we have that guy under custody, andhe had agreed to apologize on-air tomorrow. Are we still going after the TVstation?"
In the US, there are no restrictions onfirearms ownership, and it is easy to threaten someone. Ralph only needs totell that TV commentator that if he does not apologize for his commentstomorrow, there will be severe consequents. This was enough to scare him!
But an apology is not enough for Feng Yu.Feng Yu wants the top management of the TV station to make a public apology!
"Is that TV station a listed company?"
"No, but they are applying for listing."
Applying to be listed? Ok. This will beeasy. I will make sure you will not be listed and make all the shareholderslose money! Let"s see if you all still dare to let your staff say anything hewants!
"Go and tell the head of that TV station. Iwant to see him apologizing on TV tomorrow, or else, their TV station can stopthinking about getting listed!"
The next morning, Feng Yu received a call.
"h.e.l.lo, Paul. Are you apologizing for yourTV station?" Feng Yu asked, stopping Paul from saying other things.
"Feng, this incident is an accident. Iguarantee that it is not the company who asked that TV commentator say that. Iwill get that commentator to apologize today, fire him and even send him tojail. Can we settle this incident like this?" Paul asked.
Paul had sold his stake in another mediagroup to invest in this TV station last year, and this station had planned toget listed this year. After getting listed, Paul will get high returns for hisshares in the station.
But when Paul learns about the station"s TVcommentator had said something inappropriate, and Feng Yu wanted to blow upthis matter, he panicked. If the station gets into a lawsuit, it will not getlisted and he will suffer losses from this investment!
Feng Yu was not pleased when he heard whatPaul said. This matter will be resolved with an apology from the commentatorand firing him? Fat hope!
Not only the TV station has to apologize,but the organizer also must make a public apology as they are the ones who getthis TV station!
There is an organizing committee for thisyear"s Olympic Games in the US. It is a non-government committee consisting ofall the co-organizers and sub-contractors.
Why was the Olympic Games handed over toprivate operators to organize? It must be for money!
This year"s Olympic Games are toocommercialized and other than the lodging and food for the staff and athletes atthe Olympic village, everything else needs to be paid!
d.a.m.n! Even the London Games provides freecondoms. This committee is too stingy!
Also, the events were planned to give theAmerican athletes an advantage. The events where their athletes do not havehopes to win medals, like the marathon, were scheduled at noon.
Who can get good results in marathons underthe scorching sun?!
Anyway, their own athletes and the interestof the contractors were placed first! They don"t care whether if this is fairto the other countries!
The organizing committee includes mediamoguls, land developers, sports moguls, food manufacturers, Auction companies,lottery companies, etc. All of them treats this as an investment to reap highreturns!
This should be the most significantsporting event in the world and it was turned into a commercial event.Everything had changed. But these businessmen really made high returns fromthis event and even 10 years later, they were still reaping the rewards of thisinvestment!
One could learn a lot from this event, b.u.t.there are areas where others must not follow. For example, defaming othercountries to boost the TV ratings. This is digging their own graves!
"Paul, the person in charge of the TVstation, must make a public apology, or else, this station will never getlisted! They must pay for their mistake!" Feng Yu replied.
"Feng, can"t you just do me this smallfavor?"
"If I am you, I will sell off this TVstation"s shares as soon as possible. I will make this TV station bankrupt!"Feng Yu retorted.
Paul did not expect Feng Yu to be so angryand even want to bankrupt this company! But why did Feng Yu think he can to dothis? You are rich, we are richer than you! But from Feng Yu"s tone, he knewFeng Yu was serious.
"Feng, we shall wait and see!" Paul hung upthe phone and shook his head at a few people beside him. "He is not willing tolet it go. I had said before that we are not on good terms in Microsoft."
Paul did not say that Feng Yu wants tobankrupt the TV station. If he said that, no one will take over his shares.Now, the TV station owns the live telecast rights to many events and is very profitable.He must think of a reasonable excuse to sell off his shares in the station.
Paul does not care whether if Feng Yu havethe means to bankrupt the TV station, but the reputation of the station isdamaged. Although he knows with the shareholders’ support, the station can’t bebankrupted by Feng Yu. But fighting with Feng Yu is a lose-lose situation.
Paul had heard that Feng Yu had bought theEmpire State Building in New York and is close to a Russian Tyc.o.o.n. He heardthat Russian is a trading and minerals tyc.o.o.n, and if he helps Feng Yu, thedamage to the station will be severe!
Yes, maybe I can get Bill to be the mediator.After I sold my shares of the TV station, I will deal with him!
Feng Yu had purposely said that to Paul tomake him sell his stake in the station. This way, he can make use of Paul"ssales of his shares to speed up the TV station"s death!
In the afternoon, the TV commentator madean apology for his comments on live TV, and the station announced they willfire him. This incident seems to be settled.
"Manager Feng, you are really efficient.That commentator had apologized. I want to thank you on behalf of the ChineseOlympic team." Ma Tao was overjoyed. At first, he thought it was the emba.s.sy,which made that commentator apologize. But when he called the Chinese emba.s.sy,he was told that they had not contacted the TV station!
"Old Ma, I said before you can come to mefor any problems in Atlanta. This incident might seem to be settled, but thisis not the end!"
MaTao was satisfied with that apology, but Feng Yu was not. China"s reputationhad been damaged by that comment, and how can this be settled with an apologyfrom that commentator? Even if that commentator is sued, Feng Yu will not besatisfied.
The TV station still has not apologized?The organizing committee still has not apologized?
Fine… This matter will not end!!!
