Chapter 1,191 There is no winner or lose in a family war

The sigh of time quietly fades the photo album on the wall, and the radiant youth quietly falls in the eyes of memories along with the fallen leaves of autumn.

Some things are in the past, and there is no chance to change them.

Everyone has to pay a price for everything they do. Ye Ming nodded and said, "This matter is quite troublesome. Although Elizabeth transferred 20 million to Matthew's company, it doesn't mean there is no reason at all. , it can be said to be publicity fees, public relations fees, etc. Although it is not against the rules of Hollywood to transfer them directly, this rule is for ordinary people. Your sister, as the eldest lady of the Murdoch family, is completely You can arbitrarily disobey such a rule. Therefore, even if you tell your father about such a problem, Elizabeth will still have the same reason to say that this is the cost of publicity, distribution, etc.

Rules, whether explicit or hidden, are made for the weak. The strong do not follow the hidden rules at all, but are the ones who make the rules. "

James now finally understood that if he went to report, he might not end well, but he still said unwillingly: "Is my sister considered a strong person? At least she is not a strong person who makes rules, right?"

In other words, in James' eyes, Elizabeth has no ability to violate the unspoken rules.

But Ye Ming immediately said: "Your sister doesn't have it, but your father does. This matter is not what others think, but what your father thinks. As long as your father thinks that your sister's behavior is just a little willful, not Just break the rules.

Do you think your sister will care about what others think? Even what you think, does your sister care? "

James thought for a moment and said feebly: "Yes, my sister may not care. If she cares about me as a supervisor on such an issue, then she would not dare to directly transfer 20 million to it." , this is clearly provoking me."

Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's right. Elizabeth just provokes you and wants you to complain. Therefore, in front of your father, you are the kind of hypocrite who doesn't care about family ties. With such an expression, you yourself are also Consider whether you can afford the cost of filing a complaint.

I have to say that although Elizabeth was dazzled by love, there was no big problem with her sudden business move and plotting against you, because your sister knew your temper very well. "

Ye Ming did not directly tell James what to do, but in such a situation, these words were enough for James to make a judgment. He could not file a complaint. The consequences of filing a complaint were very serious.

At this moment, James seemed to have underestimated his sister's ability. Elizabeth not only transferred two kilowatts, but also came directly to find her. Seeing Ye Ming, she was a little surprised, but she didn't take Ye Ming into consideration at all. Elizabeth seems to have only one opponent, her father Murdoch and her favored younger brother Murdoch.

At this moment, Elizabeth only had James in her eyes. Therefore, she didn't even bother to look at Ye Ming.

After Elizabeth arrived, she said: "James, I found a German distribution company for the crew, a very professional distribution company. Therefore, for the distribution of the film, I directly transferred a sum of money to it. Now the crew has little money. , the remuneration of several leading actors and the preliminary expenses of filming are all unaccounted for. I need to apply to the company for the second payment. When will you go and apply with me?"

This is also what Murdoch meant. Anyway, he will not give all the money directly to Elizabeth and James. The crew needs money and how much money is needed. This requires Elizabeth and James to directly apply to the company. In this case, That is how you can truly apply for the required fees. It is impossible to apply alone.

Hearing this, Ye Ming was even more sure of one thing, that is, under such a situation, Murdoch did have such thoughts. It was one thing to train his children's talents in business, but to test them Whether James will take care of his family ties, take care of his sister, or just report directly, these are the subjects of Murdoch's investigation.

Otherwise, in such a matter, there would be no need for Elizabeth and James to appeal together. At this moment, James already had it and was mentally prepared, so he didn't feel any suddenness, but he couldn't help complaining: "Elizabeth, my eldest sister, that's 25 million, you won't say there's not a penny." Let’s leave it to that. How will we report this in the accounts when we apply? Are you sure the company can approve it?”

Elizabeth said without politeness at all: "Making a movie always costs money. How to report the accounts is my business. Passing is just the old man's problem. Don't worry about it. Now you answer my question." The question is, are you willing to appeal with me?

Let me explain first, if my movie cannot be filmed because of your refusal to appeal to me, then you are responsible for it? "

This is one of Elizabeth's methods. She understands very well what kind of person James is. He worries about gains and losses. James, his younger brother, is also very talented in business, but he has a character that worries about gains and losses. She doesn't know what he should be like. It's better to compare.

Moreover, on such a problem, it was this weakness that Elizabeth took advantage of.

James said helplessly: "This matter has gone too far. You should be more careful. Well, well, since you said that, we will go and file the second payment."

Elizabeth didn't expect that James was so easy to talk to. She was sure that she had transferred 20 million. Both her brother and her father knew about such a thing. It was impossible to know the situation step by step, but When did this kid James learn to be so tolerant? This is not a good sign.

If James was clamoring to report something, then such a thing was actually not a big deal. Elizabeth actually hoped that James would report it.

But now, since James is so cooperative, Elizabeth feels that there is no need to lose her temper. It seems that she punched hard, but the result was like hitting cotton.

This gave Elizabeth no sense of accomplishment at all. At this moment, Elizabeth glanced at Luo Tian and seemed to have thought that this guy was a bit player in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". He was the chairman of Brilliant Network and a billionaire. He actually said that he was going to act as a bit player. It was difficult for Elizabeth to understand that Ye Why do you act like this when you are like this?

in the West. Very few rich people do things like this. Generally speaking, rich people are relatively low-key. Even if they do charity, they are usually more low-key.

In fact, Elizabeth came here this time to apply for the second fund, which required James' cooperation. Ordinarily, there was no obstruction from James at all this time. When she said everyone appealed, that meant that everyone appealed together.

However, to say that women's hearts are easy to change, Elizabeth now thinks that this matter is too easy to handle. Therefore, she is a little suspicious that IDE looked at James and said: "What on earth do you want, are you so kind?

Dear second brother, do you want me to accept your favor? But I don’t care about you. Don’t think that I can accept your favor by doing this.

I won't give in on this matter. If I can suppress you at the box office, then at this time, I want to see how my father will face me. "

Elizabeth screamed wildly, her voice was hoarse, and she had a desperate posture. Anyway, she just doesn't like James. No matter how James thinks about it, Elizabeth considers such a question as a provocation to her. Such a question, at this time, is simply useless. solution.

Elizabeth left for a long time, but James was still sitting there stupidly. Even if the red wine spilled on the floor, he didn't react at all. Ye Ming knocked on the table and said: "Wake up, wake up, Elizabeth is gone, you don't have to be surprised anymore."

Only then did James come back to his senses and said in shock: "Luo Tian, ​​I'm telling you this is a joke. I thought I knew my sister very well, but I didn't expect that my sister's way of thinking would actually be like this. To a certain extent, I am helpless in this matter."

Ye Ming showed an expression that I could understand and said: "It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. This is a Chinese proverb. It is very suitable to apply to you. This point, even if it is written by the best screenwriter in Hollywood, Movies may not be able to describe clearly what happens in a family. Remember, there is no such thing as winning or losing in a family."

In front of family and family ties, there is no real sense of winning or losing. The fact that she won the world and lost to her didn't happen once or twice. Even in the Murdoch family, James later truly inherited the 20th Century Fox Film and Television Company, which is the core content of News Corporation. He inherited News Corporation and won the world. However, his sister and brother and him There is basically no family affection at all.

This is actually an alternative form of winning the world while losing to him.

Therefore, when it comes to an issue like this, no matter how you talk about it, there is no real winner or loser in a family war.

James pondered for a moment and said: "If this is the case, then it would be better for me than to be a person who loses everything. I always have to gain one thing, family ties, right? In a family like ours, if I If we don't fight for each other, in the end, even the family ties and family ties will be lost together. This kind of life is the most tragic life."

Ye Ming was speechless. He really didn't know what to say. Even if Ye Ming had strong acting skills, it was difficult to interpret the emotions expressed on James' face now, such as frustration, regret, unwillingness, and strong The desire to win and various mentality can be seen in his expression.

It can be said that James is struggling very much in his heart now. Regarding such a problem, at this time, Ye Ming patted James on the shoulder, said nothing, and left directly. Now he really couldn't say anything, anything he said would be wrong, and James might not be able to listen to anything he said. Therefore, facing a problem like this, Ye Ming had no choice but to leave, or to lengthen the Cadillac.

Ye Ming was about to leave, and the housekeeper sent him out. Before getting in the car, Ye Ming turned around and said, "James is thinking about the problem now. If I were you, I wouldn't bother him until he was greeted." His, otherwise, you must be prepared to bear the wrath of little Murdoch."

Among Murdoch's children, James is actually the one most similar to his father in terms of personality, vision, work ability, etc. Therefore, among the top wealthy circles, James is also like a little Murdoch. A title.

Therefore, if James is angry, it must be thunderous when it comes to such a thing.

At the critical moment, he glanced inside with some worry, and then asked: "Mr. Luo, can you tell me what the problem is?"

As a steward, it is natural to understand the mood of the future heir, otherwise he will be an incompetent steward.

Especially when it comes to Princess Elizabeth who just arrived and left in a hurry. At this moment, Ye Ming hesitated before saying: "This matter involves some privacy of their family. Do you really want to know?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, forget it, Mr. Luo, please get in the car."

A housekeeper has the responsibilities of a housekeeper. Therefore, at the beginning, the definition of a housekeeper is very clear. Do not try to test the privacy of the owner. Therefore, when the housekeeper heard Ye Ming say that this might involve the privacy of the Murdoch family, he immediately decisively refused to know what kind of secret such a thing was.

Ye Ming nodded and said: "Smart."

Then he drove away in a car. It was destined that James wouldn't be able to sleep this night. With a sister like this who could make a lot of noise, it was normal for James to be unable to sleep.

Naturally, Elizabeth couldn't sleep either. James was so easy to talk to this time, which was very pleasant.

Is there something fishy going on here?

And Ye Ming couldn't sleep because this time, his filming work the day after tomorrow was completely over.

I feel so excited. (To be continued)
