Chapter 570 (1/2)

Simon returned to Los Angeles and Veronica Johnston and Anthony Johnston arrived in the morning.

Veronica is here to see the baby off. Simon and his wife are going to take Melbourne for a while.

Anthony Johnston is about the buyout of BHP.

Maybe it's because of the latest Forbes rich list released today, there are reporters outside the domay point manor. Simon's car enters the gate, and a flash lights up around him. Some reporters even try to take pictures of the car window, but they don't get anything under the one-way glass.

The car stopped in front of the shell villa and Anthony Johnston appeared at the door.

Simon got out of the car and hugged Anthony: ”Tony, how are you doing?”

”Not bad,” Anthony and Simon hugged him, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, ”and congratulations, the world's first one hundred billion dollar rich.”

”Thank you,” Simon said, laughing and entering the villa with Anthony. ”And they?”

”It's all in there.”

As they said this, they were guided down to a showroom on the east side of the villa hall by the Indian girl.

This is the room that Janet designed to store Simon's awards and other commemorative items.

As soon as I got close to the showroom, I heard an irregular ”clank” sound. After entering the room, I found a little guy lying on the platform with the flaming guitar Simon used to use in Madonna's concert. He was playing happily with his hands.

Now, of course, there's no flame coming out.

Janet and Veronica stay by and find Simon come in. Veronica takes the initiative to pick up the reluctant little guy from the table, hesitates for a while, then puts him on the floor, squats down, gently pushes the child towards Simon and says, ”Moore, Dad's back, call dad.”

For the reason of frequent video calls, Melbourne looks at Simon with a small expression, which is not strange. It's just that he doesn't like the guy in front of him. He looks at him a few times, turns around and goes back to Veronica's arms. His little hand points to the flame guitar next to him again.

Veronica almost instinctively hugs the baby. Then she takes a careful look at Simon. She knows that Simon doesn't like holding the baby in her arms all the time.

Just reluctant to let go.

Simon came forward and took the baby from Veronica. The father and son looked at each other for a moment, but they were not moved by the little guy's tearful expression. He quickly handed it to Isabel and Zoe, two maids beside him, and said, ”take him out to play.” See Isabel also want to pick up the little guy, and added: ”do not hold, he can go.”

Let's watch the little guy plead with Veronica for help with his pathetic little eyes, while he is cleverly led out by Isabel. When the child leaves the showroom, Janet finally laughs, takes Veronica's arm, and says happily: ”Moore is very smart. She knows who the devil is here.”

Veronica looked anxiously at the door and whispered, ”Moore is still young.”

”No, I'll be two years old in a few months,” Janet said, taking her aunt out and saying, ”let's prepare lunch. Don't worry. Issa and Zoe are good at taking care of children. By the way, Simon, is a back? I have something else to ask her? ”

Simon nodded: ”outside.”

When the others left, Simon and Anthony sat down directly on the sofa in the corner of the showroom. When aliya brought coffee in and left, Anthony said, ”aunt really dotes on Moore, so does Dad. However, you should not be too strict with him, the child is not two years old

Simon asked with a smile, ”what was your childhood like?”

Anthony was stunned. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ”I don't remember when Moore was so old. However, ah, from the beginning, my father was very strict with Norman and me, and my grandfather was still there at that time. Well, I don't care much about it since Jennie. Jennie, David and pat. In fact, I envy my three brothers and sisters

Simon shook his head slightly and said honestly, ”I won't teach children. It's mainly about Jennie in the future. However, I think we should let them know that the world is not responsive to their needs. They should know how to give and how to be restrained. For a family like us, I think this is very important. ”

Anthony tone with a bit of joke: ”I just think, you may be a little envious of Moore.”

Simon Leng next, no answer, side of the coffee.

Anthony soon realized that he had some slip of the tongue, changed the topic and said: ”although igritte has the upper hand in this case, it should be very troublesome in the future?”

Simon soon forgot what he had just done and nodded: ”the relationship with print media will be a little stiff in the future.”

”Dad is also paying attention to this recently. He asked me to tell you that Australia should not open similar websites.”

Simon agreed: ”no, Murdoch actually mentioned it to me.”The situation in Australia is different from that in North America.

There are more than 2800 newspapers, large and small, in the whole Federation at the present stage. Although there are big paper media giants such as Hurst group, Constance, Washington Post Group, New York Times, etc., their influence is relatively scattered after all. Moreover, even the New York Times, which has the largest circulation at the present stage, has a single day scale of only about 1.2 million.

Even when more and more aware of the threat of Internet media, the number of paper media groups is too large, it is impossible to twist a rope against igrit.

Moreover, the more than 20 million active users of igritte portal in a single day also means that even if someone wants to besiege, Simon has enough power to fight back. In this 58list incident, the paper media is fierce, but in terms of public opinion, Internet users are basically on the side of the Internet under the guidance of igritte portal.

Australia is different.

Simon has always maintained a good attitude towards the media power in Australia, and the cooperation between the two sides is also very precise.

Moreover, News Corporation and Fairfax group basically monopolized the paper media in Australia and New Zealand.

Classified information advertising also accounts for a large proportion of revenue in the Australian paper industry.

If igritte Australia branch also launches classified information advertising business there, News Corp. and Fairfax group will definitely join hands to besiege igritte, which means that the paper media of the whole Australia will work at the same time. Even if Simon is not afraid of this kind of confrontation, it is not worth the loss for several parties to turn their original allies into enemies.

In a word, even if igritte does not open a classified information website in Australia and has a reference in North America, there will certainly be someone developing a similar project there.

It's just that it has nothing to do with igritte.

Anthony was relieved to hear that Simon had no such plan.

If the Australian media stands in the way of public opinion to obstruct the merger plan of BHP, the johnstons will not be able to complete the acquisition at all.
