Extraordinary Genius - Chapter 844

Chapter 844 – This will not end

Ralph got back to Feng Yu with the information of the TV commentator. He works for a private TV station, and one of the shareholders of this station is Paul Allen!

Paul has shares in this TV station? That means this TV station is quite influential. But even if Bill Gates has shares in this station, Feng Yu will still pursue this matter! Feng Yu believes that they will not fall out with him over this matter!

“Boss, we have that guy under custody, and he had agreed to apologize on-air tomorrow. Are we still going after the TV station?”

In the US, there are no restrictions on firearms ownership, and it is easy to threaten someone. Ralph only needs to tell that TV commentator that if he does not apologize for his comments tomorrow, 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 be easy. I will make sure you will not be listed and make all the shareholders lose money! Let’s see if you all still dare to let your staff say anything he wants!

“Go and tell the head of that TV station. I want to see him apologizing on TV tomorrow, or else, their TV station can stop thinking about getting listed!”

The next morning, Feng Yu received a call.

“Hello, Paul. Are you apologizing for your TV station?” Feng Yu asked, stopping Paul from saying other things.

“Feng, this incident is an accident. I guarantee that it is not the company who asked that TV commentator say that. I will get that commentator to apologize today, fire him and even send him to jail. Can we settle this incident like this?” Paul asked.

Paul had sold his stake in another media group to invest in this TV station last year, and this station had planned to get listed this year. After getting listed, Paul will get high returns for his shares in the station.

But when Paul learns about the station’s TV commentator had said something inappropriate, and Feng Yu wanted to blow up this matter, he panicked. If the station gets into a lawsuit, it will not get listed and he will suffer losses from this investment!

Feng Yu was not pleased when he heard what Paul said. This matter will be resolved with an apology from the commentator and 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 get this TV station!

There is an organizing committee for this year’s Olympic Games in the US. It is a non-government committee consisting of all the co-organizers and sub-contractors.

Why was the Olympic Games handed over to private operators to organize? It must be for money!

This year’s Olympic Games are too commercialized and other than the lodging and food for the staff and athletes at the Olympic village, everything else needs to be paid!

Damn! Even the London Games provides free condoms. This committee is too stingy!

Also, the events were planned to give the American athletes an advantage. The events where their athletes do not have hopes to win medals, like the marathon, were scheduled at noon.

Who can get good results in marathons under the scorching sun?!

Anyway, their own athletes and the interest of the contractors were placed first! They don’t care whether if this is fair to the other countries!

The organizing committee includes media moguls, land developers, sports moguls, food manufacturers, Auction companies, lottery companies, etc. All of them treats this as an investment to reap high returns!

This should be the most significant sporting event in the world and it was turned into a commercial event. Everything had changed. But these businessmen really made high returns from this event and even 10 years later, they were still reaping the rewards of this investment!

One could learn a lot from this event, but there are areas where others must not follow. For example, defaming other countries to boost the TV ratings. This is digging their own graves!

“Paul, the person in charge of the TV station, must make a public apology, or else, this station will never get listed! They must pay for their mistake!” Feng Yu replied.

“Feng, can’t you just do me this small favor?”

“If I am you, I will sell off this TV station’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 angry and even want to bankrupt this company! But why did Feng Yu think he can to do this? You are rich, we are richer than you! But from Feng Yu’s tone, he knew Feng Yu was serious.

“Feng, we shall wait and see!” Paul hung up the phone and shook his head at a few people beside him. “He is not willing to let it go. I had said before that we are not on good terms in Microsoft.”

Paul did not say that Feng Yu wants to bankrupt 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 have the means to bankrupt the TV station, but the reputation of the station is damaged. Although he knows with the shareholders’ support, the station can’t be bankrupted by Feng Yu. But fighting with Feng Yu is a lose-lose situation.

Paul had heard that Feng Yu had bought the Empire State Building in New York and is close to a Russian Tycoon. He heard that Russian is a trading and minerals tycoon, and if he helps Feng Yu, the damage 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 to make him sell his stake in the station. This way, he can make use of Paul’s sales of his shares to speed up the TV station’s death!

In the afternoon, the TV commentator made an apology for his comments on live TV, and the station announced they will fire 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 Chinese Olympic team.” Ma Tao was overjoyed. At first, he thought it was the embassy, which made that commentator apologize. But when he called the Chinese embassy, he was told that they had not contacted the TV station!

“Old Ma, I said before you can come to me for any problems in Atlanta. This incident might seem to be settled, but this is not the end!”

Ma Tao was satisfied with that apology, but Feng Yu was not. China’s reputation had been damaged by that comment, and how can this be settled with an apology from that commentator? Even if that commentator is sued, Feng Yu will not be satisfied.

The TV station still has not apologized? The organizing committee still has not apologized?

Fine… This matter will not end!!!
