American Fortune Life

d Wendi looked at the rosy complexion, the skin was hydrated and full, and there was infinite style between her eyebrows. The whole person exudes charming charm, Ivana, sighed softly.

"Ivana, it's really enviable. Look at your current status, and you will know how much Andy loves you. You are now like a delicate and beautiful rose, it seems that it has never stopped being irrigated! "

Ivana gave d Wendi a bad look, but the curvature of the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious. For her girlfriend, d Wendi still recognized it. The first is no conflict of interest, and the second is the status status equality The most important thing is the News Corporation behind her.

I apologize for dwendi's a little dirty teasing, Ivana doesn't care, and she knows better than anyone, women chat together, even more uncomfortable, and women play hooligan, men really want to lean on station.

"Right, isn't Rupert fascinated by you, has the quality of life deteriorated recently?" Ivana heard a hint of jealousy in d Wendi's tone, and her face was revealed because of her questioning. Vice Yu asked for an expression of dissatisfaction.

"Don't mention it, he is becoming more and more powerless now. I worry that it will be even worse in two or three years ..."

"Come on, there is Viagra, enough to satisfy him." Ivana took a sip before the meal and sipped.

"You thought I didn't give him food. He had a problem with his prostate. The doctor told him to use less Viagra. I was quite helpless. Forget it, let's not talk about unhappy things. Let me talk, what do you want me to do? Tell me on the phone. "

d Wendy is a little irritable when she mentions Murdoch. After all, she is at the age of a wolf-like tiger. The depression caused by the disharmony in life makes her quite helpless. This is the life she chooses.

Ivana could feel D Wendi's grievances, but she didn't care, with a small smile on her face, saying, "Since the last month spent 5 billion to acquire the Dow Jones Group, your Murdoch media empire has been one night Time has become stronger. "

d Wendi just listened quietly and did not continue to ask questions. Ivana's opening remarks were slightly surprised. You must know that except for the acquisition of August 1st, the stock price of Dow Jones almost rose to the price of News Corporation. Next, the subprime mortgage crisis exploded, leading to a cliff-like plunge. Since this month, the market value has shrunk by 40%. Many media that have envied Murdoch have turned to muzzle turns and mocked.

Although Murdoch values ​​the influence of the Dow Jones Group and knows that the economic crisis will pass sooner or later and the market value will also recover, the losses brought by it are still huge.

"You also know the huge impact caused by the subprime mortgage crisis that began in August. Andy has been acquiring the team recently. He intends to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers, which are controlled by your News Corporation. I would like to ask if your family has No intention to sell the team. "Ivana blinked her long eyelashes, looked surprised, and then smiled d Wendi asked.

"I really envy your family. Not only does it make a lot of money, it is also unambiguous to spend money. It is true that money is made for entertainment. Football, rugby, basketball, and now baseball, well, I can go back and help You ask, but, you know, since I married Rupert, I have deliberately avoided group things, and I can only help you. "

When I heard d Wendi ’s explanation, Ivana could not help secretly sneering. She knew something about this ambitious woman who wanted to gain power by controlling Murdoch. Do n’t look now that she has been deliberately Keeping a low profile and avoiding is just a trick, trying to dilute the speculation and attacks on her at the beginning by the media.

As a neighbor, through nearly two years of interaction, Dwendi ’s long-sleeve dance can be said to be very good at using his current identity. He has stepped away from Murdoch ’s steps to establish his own network and social circle. Fanna didn't believe the ghost words she said. Look at the flash of light in her eyes just now. She is not a woman of peace.

"That will trouble you. Andy now has several goals in hand, but after all, Dodge is in Los Angeles. This advantage is still obvious. This can offset some of the disadvantages brought by the team's performance and liabilities. Dropping the Dodgers may not be a good thing for News Corporation. After all, that Coster is using your family's money to help him make money for himself. In the end, he may not need to spend a penny of his own. Take away the Dodgers, and News Corp. just got a little bit of interest every year. "

After hearing Ivana's words, d Wendi couldn't help but startled. She had heard about this Dodgers team, but didn't understand the specific situation. Now it seems that there are still a lot of cats, but this is a very good thing. The entry point, after all, the old man has not had a good time recently.

Under the subprime mortgage crisis, the stock prices of its listed companies have plummeted. In order to live in panic and stabilize stock prices, News Corporation has begun to increase its holdings, banks have reluctantly borrowed, and just completed a $ 5 billion acquisition. To be honest, now everyone Lack of cash.

Perhaps useless assets in exchange for cash is a good way. "Well, I understand. If Rupert intends to sell, I will tell you the first time. Right, what is the price?" Wendy lifted it and put it on the table. Arm, let the waiter put the food in front of himself.

"In the beginning, News Corporation bought Dodge for a total of $ 430 million, and Andy is now willing to pay $ 500 million to take over." Ivana said.

Wendi nodded involuntarily. This price is still very sincere. Although the current economic environment is very bad, after all, the 430 million has passed two or three years ago, and the dollar has now depreciated. Taking these factors into consideration, 500 million US dollars The price is still quite appropriate. Of course, News Corporation wants to make money through this, there is no profit margin.

Lunch was spent in a pleasant conversation between the two, and the already depressed dwendi was in a better mood. Sitting in the car home, squinting her eyes, her thoughts unfolded. She was measuring whether to test Murdoch now Attitude towards getting involved in News Corps affairs.

You should know that the children of his ex-wife are very hostile to her, and even forced Murdoch to make some compromises, and he was always watching out for her. "Let ’s come to Japan!" After a few murmurs, a flash of chill flashed in her eyes, her ultimate goal was to use Murdoch to redistribute Murdoch's shares, and she could also get a guarantee, but this kind of things can not be rush Murdoch wasn't even confused. If he didn't protect himself, she wouldn't believe it.

Back in the three-storey duplex apartment on Fifth Avenue in the luxuriously decorated Manhattan, Wendy saw Murdoch sitting in the living room with his two daughters watching a cartoon on the sofa, and asked, "Why are you so free today? "

"A bit tired, so I got off work early."

"What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable? I asked Salam to come over ..."

"Oh, it's okay, really, it's just a little tired, you can take a nap after a while, you don't need to be nervous." Murdoch chuckled, with a reassuring expression on his face, although he sometimes talked harshly to this wife A little bit, but his care and love still made him very warm.

"Baby, don't bother your dad, come, take a nap at that time." Watching the two daughters lie in the arms of her husband, could not help but signal to the two maids, took away the children, followed the children Room, only returned to the living room after about ten minutes. Standing behind the sofa, gently massaged her husband's shoulders to relieve fatigue.

"Ivana meets you, is there anything?" Murdoch leaned back on the sofa, took off his glasses, and enjoyed his wife's care.

"Well, there is something wrong. She asked me about the Los Angeles Dodgers. Andy took a look at the Dodgers and wanted to buy them."

"Oh? This young man is really interesting. Only when I see Andy Smith, does it make people feel that the changes in the times are so impressive. The young people now are really amazing. It only took them more than a year to make money. The money will soon catch up with the money I've earned in my life! "

Murdoch feels a little embarrassed every time he sees Andy Smith's report in the newspaper. Andy is too young. "What price is he going to pay?"

"One bit price, 500 million cash. By the way, what is going on with this Dodgers team? How do I hear that the current team owner, Coster, is using the group's money to help him make money, and then take the original price from the group to take the team away? "

Murdoch agreed with the bid after all. The interests of both parties in the transaction were very balanced. Hearing his wife's question, he smiled and said, "How can it be that the shares have always been in the hands of the group. For the broadcast rights agreement of Fox Sports 2, Coster has always wanted to borrow from the group to buy the Dodgers, and then slowly repay, but has not passed the board of directors. Now the broadcast rights agreement is signed in 2012, but can also choose to sell, as long as Can agree that Fox will have priority after the rebroadcast agreement expires. "

d Wendi could not help but shine her eyes. She did not expect that things would be so simple. She was very clear about her husband's wish to devote himself to the development of the media group throughout her life. Nothing else could compare with the appeal of the media to him.

"That is to say you agree with Andy Smith's acquisition intention and offer?"

"Why not agree, the price is still more sincere. Now all people in the United States are staring at the huge amount of cash in his hands. I am also more optimistic about this young man. The cooperation between me and him has begun long ago, this Young people are always unexpected, but they have to admire his talent and strategic vision ... "

"When did you work with him, why didn't I hear you talk?"

"Oh, Andy Smith, the e-commerce company of Alibaba, a SoftBank company established by Sun Zhengyi, who invested in Tianchao, is also an individual shareholder with voting rights in Ali." Murdoch said slightly, closing his eyes.
