Chapter 1203: Chapter 412: Los Angeles Times in Hand
"Just hold on a bit longer and it will be over!"
At this time, Harry Chandler was sitting alone in his office, thinking this.
Harry Chandler was already in disarray, feeling that everything would pass.
But the reality was making Harry Chandler feel desperate.
The "Pioneer Newspaper" and "Forum Newspaper" were like mad dogs at the moment, seizing the weakness of the "Los Angeles Times" and attacking fiercely.
Moreover, various children’s protection associations from across the United States also stepped forward at this time, flocking to Los Angeles, organizing protests and gatherings.
This time, the entire Los Angeles was in chaos.
Two days later, the hundreds of people who had been protesting in front of the "Los Angeles Times" building swelled to thousands. At this point, they were no longer just shouting slogans.
Someone suddenly threw a gasoline-filled bottle, smashing it against the "Los Angeles Times" building, and this radical act immediately incited numerous radical actions.
In this situation, the protesters even clashed with the police maintaining order on site.
This incident once again shocked the entire United States.
Soon after, a wave of burning the "Los Angeles Times" began throughout Los Angeles.
Everything was out of control.
That day, Harry Chandler appeared in the mayor’s office at Los Angeles City Hall, where not only the Mayor of Los Angeles was present but also California Governor William Richardson.
The situation had now reached the point where it had to be resolved.
"Chandler, now your family must leave the ’Los Angeles Times’!"
William Richardson stated bluntly after meeting Harry Chandler.
To solve this problem in the shortest time, the most effective way was for Harry Chandler to relinquish the "Los Angeles Times".
Although Harry Chandler had vaguely guessed this result, hearing William Richardson say it was still unacceptable.
"Governor, this must be someone secretly targeting us; the ’Los Angeles Times’ is innocent!"
Harry Chandler said earnestly.
William Richardson waved his hand and said, "Now, whether this is a false accusation or not is no longer necessary to investigate. Next year is the gubernatorial election year, and you should know that we cannot have any issues at this time!"
The "Los Angeles Times" was the most important media channel of the Republican Party in California, and William Richardson could not allow any problems there.
The Mayor of Los Angeles then said, "Chandler, we understand the significance of the ’Los Angeles Times’ to your family, but the current situation is this: if you don’t hand over the ’Los Angeles Times’, then it will completely lose its influence in Los Angeles and California because of this incident, and then whether you hand it over or not will make no difference."
Harry Chandler sighed deeply and said, "I understand, I will announce the search for someone to take over the ’Los Angeles Times’!"
At this time, he had understood that the history of the "Los Angeles Times" belonging to the Chandler Family was about to completely end.
If he did not hand over the "Los Angeles Times" now, it was estimated that soon other family businesses would be affected.
William Richardson, hearing that Harry Chandler was willing to give up the "Los Angeles Times", also breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was worried about was Harry Chandler burning his bridges or other matters.
"No need to find someone else; I have already contacted the person to take over for you!" William Richardson said with a smile, "And I have also secured a good price for you!"
Harry Chandler felt a trace of dissatisfaction rising within him. William Richardson’s actions seemed to him a kind of betrayal, although such things were most common in American politics.
Wasn’t he himself thinking of making Kyle Palmer the scapegoat earlier?
"I wonder which California company Mr. Richardson has found?"
William Richardson smiled and said, "The other party should be arriving in Los Angeles at any moment!"
As the words fell, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary of the Los Angeles Mayor stepped in respectfully and said, "Mr. Block has arrived!"
"Please bring him in!"
William Richardson said with a smile.
Harry Chandler’s face suddenly changed. At this moment, he already knew who William Richardson had found to take over—Donnie Block from Atlantic City!
The door opened, and a sharply dressed Donnie Block walked into the office with a smile.
William Richardson was the first to greet him, embracing Donnie Block, followed by the Mayor of Los Angeles.
After exchanging courtesies, Donnie proactively shook hands with Mr. Harry Chandler and said, "Mr. Chandler, you have suffered during this time!"
Harry Chandler stared fixedly at Donnie and asked, "Was this arranged by you?"
At that moment, Harry Chandler connected all the events before and after, suddenly believing that the situation he faced today was caused by Donnie Block.
In response to Harry Chandler’s questioning, Donnie showed a bitter smile, looked at William Richardson, and said, "Governor, see, I told you, if you let me come, Mr. Chandler would surely suspect!"
William Richardson first showed an apologetic smile to Donnie, then said to Harry Chandler, "Mr. Chandler, you really are mistaken this time. How could this have been arranged by Mr. Block!"
