The applause in the manor startled Mr. John who was thinking. There was a slight change on his face.


    Yes, the Newspaper Alliance!


    A thing he didn''t like very much, but now it has become a life-saving straw, which makes him a little sigh that he is really old.


    The weakness of the George family. He knows very well that everything depends on the unique position of the feature agency in the newspaper industry - without the feature agency, many newspapers can''t produce enough newspapers with eight pages. Therefore, newspapers in other places must subscribe to feature agencies or buy newspapers with press releases to fill their own blank pages. At the same time, in order to maximize the interests of the family, Mr. John has formulated industry rules. Only "partners" can buy the press releases of the feature agency.


    What is a partner?


    Simply put, the newspaper in which he holds shares is the real partner.


    Under such industry rules, the George family can become today''s industry monopolist and a huge trust enterprise. At the same time, this also makes the bill passed today a curse for the family, because this bill is obviously aimed at the George family. The George family controls the whole industry by holding the shares and sources of most newspapers, which is bound to violate the new act.


    At the same time, Mr. John also realized that Mark''s cracking method provided a perfect way for the George family, that is, the newspaper alliance.


    Absorb the funds of most newspapers and let them hold the shares of the feature agency and cross hold shares. In this way, they are not manipulated. In terms of identity and status, they are equal to the George family and are all shareholders of the feature agency. There may be a big gap in the proportion of equity, but no imperial law will support large shareholders rather than small shareholders.


    He immediately waved to the housekeeper and sat for a while. He felt that his legs had begun to numb. It was not so easy to stand up with his own strength. Without this phone, he would move his legs and slowly stand up. His dignity and pride would not allow him to show such weakness and incompetence. However, in the face of great threats, this personal gain and loss has not been taken into account by him.


    Before the dust settles, the newspaper alliance must be established to avoid the devastating impact of the new bill on the George family!


    The housekeeper held his arm and lifted him up. He took a few steps and raised his palm to stop the housekeeper from holding him. "We don''t have time. Push the wheelchair over."


    When there was another round of applause in the open space outside the building, mark took off his coat and hung it on his chair. The meeting was very successful. No, it should be said that since mark took charge of the family business, his personality charm and more avant-garde ideas have been very successful and welcomed by the presidents of these newspapers.


    Just now, mark put forward an idea that no one had ever heard of before, called sharing.


    "What is sharing?", he rolled up his sleeves. Now it was October. The weather in the North was enough for people to wear two or three clothes, but he only wore one shirt and rolled up his sleeves. The steaming steam on his body made him look very hot.


    He is really hot and excited. He has an illusion that he has returned to the classroom and is inculcating his ideas and knowledge, but this is not a classroom, and those sitting are not students. These people listen carefully, which makes him more excited and naturally hotter.


    "Sharing means sharing together. The newspaper industry needs progress, development, reform and innovation. We need to find something new in both the traditional way and today''s model. What I want to say about sharing is a brand-new concept. I think this will be the first thing after the establishment of the newspaper alliance. We need to establish a high-tech industry Speed up a sound information network. "


    He pointed to the East, "Now there is a robbery in the East. We may need to know it tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow. But joining the newspaper alliance and joining the sharing plan is different. At the first time, this news will appear on your desktop to provide enough reading points for the evening paper. I know some of you will be thinking about what it will do to me if I provide such news Benefits? "


    "This is what we need to discuss next, that is, the points system. According to the points obtained by sharing, we will refer to the proportion to distribute the total income of the Newspaper Alliance every year..."


    Mark suddenly found that many people''s eyes had shifted behind him. He was talking about his interest. He was really uncomfortable when he was interrupted, but his hair was about to stand up at the moment he turned his head.


    "Father... Pro?"


    Mr. John waved his hand. He sat in Mark''s seat. "You go on, I''m very interested in your idea. If it succeeds, it will bring change to the whole world!"


    This sentence is not what John is talking about. From Mark''s brief speech, he has seen a different way of industry monopoly, a "monopoly" way participated by many people. This way has the firewall needed by the George family and can also enable the George family to bury its true foundation in the deep soil, just like those tycoons in other industries.


    There is no doubt that if this set of points scheme can be carried out, the George family will benefit the most, because the George family controls the news network with the widest coverage and the largest number of participants in the Empire. Others may take part of the money, but the George family will get more and safer.


    Mark restrained his shocked expression. He found the same shock from other faces, which made him sigh that while Mr. John has the prestige of this line, he also has the confidence to carry out his own set of ideas.


    He had just said nothing, and someone interrupted him again.


    Only this time, not Mr. John, but a senior agent of the imperial police investigation bureau.


    Two guys in black windbreaker, sunglasses and domed felt hat appeared at the meeting. The bodyguards hired by the George family to maintain order and protect the meeting followed them. One of them took off his sunglasses and hat as he walked and showed his ID. "I''m very sorry, Mr. mark... Mr. John, I''m senior agent Tom of the imperial police investigation bureau. This is my colleague, senior agent Jerry."


    "The imperial Supreme Court has accepted 17 indictments, which are about the George family controlling the newspaper industry through illegal means and obtaining illegal profits. According to Article 1 and Article 7 of the first paragraph of the anti industry manipulation act just passed today, the imperial supreme court believes that such a situation does exist and needs Mr. John''s cooperation in our investigation. In addition...", He looked at so many people at the scene. "I want to ask a question. Has your meeting been declared to the city hall?"


    According to imperial law, more than 200 people who are not related by blood or ownership need to report to the city hall. This law has been enacted for decades. At first, it was to control the unruly people who often attack the nobility in groups. At that time, more than ten people gathered together to report to the sheriff and undergo physical examination. Now the relevant contents have been changed, but this law has not been abolished.


    There are always some things you can''t use at ordinary times. You may not use them for a lifetime, but as long as you use them once, they can work wonders.


    In today''s society, not to mention 200 people, 2000 people who are not related by blood or ownership often gather together - ball games. Every time, thousands of people do not sit together, nor do they see the organizers of the game go to the city hall to declare such a large "gathering".


    Still that sentence, there is nothing useless. It just depends on whether you can use it.


    Tom looked at the people with a regretful expression. "Who is the organizer?"


    Mark faced the guy with a stiff head. "Me, what''s up?"


    "Has the meeting been applied for and approved by the city hall?", Tom''s tone was not severe, but the content was aggressive. Mark shook his head. Tom continued, "please come with us and the meeting can''t continue until the inquiry at the city hall is over." he took his hat and put it back on his head with a smile. "Please, Mr. John, Mr. mark."


    "Can I go to your place or the city hall after the morning meeting?" mark added. "This meeting is very important to me, my father and the whole George family."


    Tom didn''t give mark the slightest kindness. He still smiled and said, "my work is also very important!"


    "Yes, your work is really important, but you will get the friendship of the George family!" Mr. John stood up with the housekeeper and walked into senior agent Tom with a crutch. "Will the friendship of the George family be more important than your work?"


    Tom was not happy or upset at all. He asked with interest, "you mean, what good do you give me?"


    Mr. John laughed. "No, no, I didn''t say that. It''s just your understanding."


    "Then why should I get the friendship of the George family?"


    Mr. John''s expression gradually cooled down. He said in a very confident tone, "because my name is John, John George."


    "Finished?" Tom shook his head. "Now you can choose to leave with me, or let me put on handcuffs for you and escort you away. The George family? This is the imperial capital, Mr. John, and the only family here is the royal family!" his hand has lifted off his windbreaker. As long as John pushes off another word, he will take out his handcuffs and perform his task.


    John''s face had turned blue. He gave a cold Snort and hobbled to the door of the manor. Mark was a little unacceptable and a little decadent. He followed him with his coat.


    Watching Mr. John and mark taken away by senior agents, a string in the inner world of the presidents of these newspapers was gently stirred by an invisible force.
