American Fortune Life

D Wendy watched as she sat across the street looking red, her skin full of moisture, her eyebrows infinitely flavored, and the whole person sighed softly with a charming flavor of Ivana.

“Ivana, what an envy. Look at your condition and you'll see how much Andy loves you. You are now like a bright YU drop of rose, it seems you have never stopped being irrigated! ”

Ivana didn't have the temper to whiten D Wendy's glance, but the curved corner of her mouth became more and more obvious. For D Wendy's girlfriend, she still agrees. First, there was no conflict of interest, second, reciprocity of status, and most importantly, the news group behind her.

Wow, Ivana doesn't care about D Wendy's slightly dirty tone, and she knows better than anyone that women chat together, and even worse, and that women play hooligans, and men really stand aside.

“Come on, isn't Rupert obsessed with you? Hasn't your quality of life been declining a little lately?” Ivana heard a hint of jealousy in D Wendy's tone, especially because of the look on YU's face when she questioned her.

“Forget it, he's losing his mind now, and I'm afraid in two or three more years... ”

“Come on, there's 10,000 Eko, enough to satisfy you.” Ivana smiled softly and sipped.

“You think I didn't feed him, he has a prostate problem, the doctor told him to use Van Eko less, I'm helpless too, forget it, don't say anything unhappy, tell me, what can I do for you? Can't tell me over the phone. ”

D Wendy was a little upset when she mentioned Murdoch. After all, she was at a very tiger-like age, and the depression brought about by the discord in her life made her quite helpless. This was her life of choice.

Ivana was able to feel d Wendy's resentment, but she didn't care and smiled, saying, "Your Murdoch media empire has grown stronger overnight since spending five billion dollars on the Dow Jones Group last month. ”

D Wendy just listened quietly and didn't keep asking. A little surprised about Ivana's opening remarks, you know, except for the fact that Dao Jones' share price almost went up to the acquisition price of News Group on August 1, which was followed by the subprime mortgage crisis, resulting in a cliff-type downturn. Over the past month, the market value has shrunk by 40 percent, and many began to admire Murdoch's media, all at the turn of the gun.

Although Murdoch focused on the influence of the Dow Jones Group and knew that the economic crisis would pass sooner or later and that the market value would recover, the resulting losses were enormous.

“You also know the enormous impact of the subprime crisis that began in August, and Andy has been buying teams lately, and he's interested in buying your News Group's Los Angeles Dodgers, and I just wanted to ask you if your family is willing to sell them.” Ivana blinked her long lashes and looked surprised, then suddenly laughed at D Wendy and asked.

“I envy your family. Not only is it great to make money, but it's unequivocal to spend money. It's true to make money and entertainment. Football, football, basketball, basketball, now baseball. Okay, I can go back and check it out for you, but, you know, since I married Rupert, I've intentionally avoided the group's business, so I can only ask you. ”

Having heard D Wendy's explanation, Ivana couldn't help but sneer. She knew a little about this ambitious woman who wanted to gain power by controlling Murdoch. Don't look at her now. She's been deliberately keeping a low profile, avoiding, just playing around. She wants to use her time to dilute the speculation and attacks on her by the media at the beginning.

As a neighbor, through almost two years of dating, D Wendy's long-sleeved good dance, can be said to be very well placed to use her current identity, leaving Murdoch with a very robust and planned pace to build her own connections and social circles, Ivana doesn't believe the bullshit she says, look at that glittering light in her eyes, she is not a restless woman.

“Well, then, Andy has a few goals in his hands, but after all, Dodge is in Los Angeles, and this advantage is obvious, and it can also offset the disadvantages of some team's achievements and liabilities. In fact, selling the Dodgers may not be a good thing for the news group, after all, that Kost is now making money for himself entirely with your family's money, and eventually he may not have to spend a penny of his own money to take the Dodgers away from the news group, which just gets a little interest every year. ”

When she heard Ivana's words, d Wendy couldn't help but think of the Dodgers, but she didn't know the details, and now it sounds like there are a lot of cats left, but this is a very good entry point, after all, the old man hasn't had a good time lately.

In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis, the stock price of listed companies fell sharply. In order to stop the panic and stabilize the stock price, the press group has begun to increase. The bank took care of the loan, and has just completed another $5 billion acquisition. To be honest, everyone is now short of cash.

Maybe cash for useless assets is a good way to go, "Okay, I get it. If Rupert wants to sell, I'll be the first to tell you, right, what price?” D Wendy lifts his arm on the table and lets the waiter put the food in front of him.

“When News Group acquired Dodge, it spent a total of $0.3 billion, and Andy is now willing to pay $500 million to take over.” Ivana said.

D Wendy nodded, and the price was very sincere. Although the current economic environment was bad, after all, the 430 million had passed two or three years and the dollar was now depreciating. Considering these factors, the price of $500 million was more appropriate. Of course, the press group wanted to make money from this because there was not much room for profit.

Lunch had been a pleasant conversation between the two, and D Wendy, who was already in a much better mood, sat home in her car with her eyes slightly squinted and her thoughts unfolded, was measuring whether Murdoch's attitude towards meddling in the affairs of the news group was now being tested.

You know, the children of his ex-wife were very hostile to her, and even forced Murdoch to make some compromises, and they were always watching out for her, "Now get involved, the time is not yet ripe, forget it, knock on the drums first, come to the long!” After a few words of whispering, a chill flashed in her eyes. Her ultimate aim was to redistribute Murdoch's shares with a pillow wind, and she could get a guarantee for herself, but this could not be rushed. Murdoch was not too old to believe that he was not prepared to kill herself.

Back in a three-storey duplex decorated with luxurious Manhattan 5th Avenue, D Wendy saw Murdoch sitting on the sofa with her two daughters watching the animation, and she couldn't help but ask, "How are you so free today? ”

“I'm a little tired, so I got off early. ”

“What's the matter? Is something wrong? I asked Salam to come over... ”

“Oh, nothing, really, just a little tired, just take a nap and take a nap, you don't have to be nervous.” Murdoch smiled softly, with a comforting look on his face, and his care and love for the wife, although sometimes a little harsh, kept him very warm.

“Babies, leave your dad alone. Come on, it's time for a nap.” Watching the two daughters lay in the arms of their husbands, she was forced to show the two maids that she had taken the child and followed her into the children's room. She returned to the living room about a few minutes later, standing on the sofa and gently massaging her husband's shoulders to relieve fatigue.

“Ivana asked you out. Is there something wrong?” Murdoch relaxed on the couch, took off his glasses and enjoyed the care of his wife.

“Well, something really happened. She asked me about the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Andy looked at the Dodgers and wanted to buy them. ”

“Oh? This young man is so funny, seeing Andy Smith makes people feel so emotional about how times have changed. Today's young people are really amazing. It took just over a year to make enough money to catch up with the money I've earned in my life! ”

Every time Murdoch sees Andy Smith's story in the paper, he feels a little grumpy, and Andy is so young, "What's his offer? ”

“A flat rate, 500 million in cash, by the way, what exactly is going on with this Dodger team, and how do I know that the current team owner, Coast, is helping him make money with the group's money and then taking the original price from the group? ”

Murdoch still agrees with the bid, the interests of both sides of the deal are very balanced, listening to his wife, he laughed and said: “It's not that simple, the shares have always been in the Group's hands, it was also acquired for the Fox Sports Two Broadcasting Rights Agreement, Kaust has always wanted to borrow from the Group to buy the Dodgers and then pay them back slowly, but it hasn't passed through the Board of Directors, now the Broadcasting Rights Agreement is signed in 2012, but you can choose to sell it, as long as you can agree that Fox will have priority after the Broadcasting Agreement expires. ”

D Wendy couldn't help but glance at her, she didn't expect things to be so simple, she was very clear about her husband's desire to devote his life to the development of a media group, and nothing else was as appealing to him as the media.

“So you agree with Andy Smith's takeover intentions and offer? ”

“Why disagree, the price is still more sincere. Now the entire United States is staring at the huge amount of cash in his hands. I also prefer this young man, and the cooperation between me and him has begun long ago. This young man is always unexpected, but he has to be admired for his talents and strategic vision. ”

“When did you work with him? How come I didn't hear you say that? ”

“Oh, me and Sun Jingyi of Foot Pond founded Soft Silver Company to invest in Alibaba E-commerce in Heaven Dynasty, Andy Smith is now also Alibaba's individual shareholder with voting rights.” Murdoch closed his eyes slightly and said softly.
