Villa, sports car, private garden, a huge swimming pool, the setting sun gives the earth a rosy dreamy color. Inside Murdoch's private villa, the level of luxury is astonishing.
Although there is a lot of commotion outside because of the Minority Report crew, and the fight between Quantum Fund and Rupert Murdoch, the newspaper tycoon, is also scary, but here, the two people related to this matter are also very calm.
, Sitting above the owner's seat is a white man in his thirties. This man is Murdoch's second son, James Murdoch, and the third person in the Murdoch family.
In the Murdoch family, there are three real cores of power. Old Murdoch is naturally the king and real controller of this family, and as the eldest, Lachlan Murdoch was trained as the prince of the empire.
James Murdoch is the second prince of this family.
Of course, he also has great rights, but no matter how he says it, he is ranked second to his brother. He is the second heir to the king's position.
James is a very rebellious person. When he was in school in New York, he dyed his hair white, wore earrings, and got tattoos. He didn't miss any of this.
And later, like Bill Gates, he did not graduate from Harvard University. He was a restless guy. His eldest brother Lachlan did so well that he seemed to be the heir to the family. Therefore, James was a little frustrated.
.
But it was at such a time that he met Ye Ming, an ambitious Chinese movie star who wanted to break into Hollywood. Think about it when the two met in Hong Kong City, Ye Ming was just a small trainee.
Born without any fame.
Although James is a second-generation rich man, he and his friends opened a record company after leaving Harvard. No one thought highly of James. Everyone, including his father, believed that Lackland was the heir to the family.
Therefore, the down-and-out rich second generation met an unknown actor in a Hong Kong bar on a rainy day.
I didn't expect that the two of them really had the same chemistry. They had a direct fight with some local young and Dangerous guys, and then the two of them became friends.
Later, Ye Ming returned to the capital, got married, and became a real entertainment star. At this time, James also returned to the family and continued to live his life of drunkenness and dreams.
It was not until later that Ye Ming became the Oscar's Best Supporting Actor that James thought that he had a relationship with this Ye Ming, so he invited Ye Ming over. The two talked for a long time, and James found that he was competing with Ye Ming.
, he is simply a scumbag. Apart from being richer than Ye Ming, there is no comparison whatsoever.
Ye Ming used his own actions to successfully create Huihuang.com, and now Huihuang.com is still the only one in the Internet market. It can be said that if the U.S. government had not intervened in the monopoly investigation of Huihui.com, no one would have broken this unique situation.
On such an issue, James still admires Ye Ming's methods very much. This is the real method. Even his father, Murdoch Sr., would not have the guts to go against the US government.
Therefore, James began to ask Ye Ming what he wanted to do. Ye Ming told him to keep a low profile and bide his time. Although he was not as good as his eldest brother Lachlan, he was at least the second heir. If he didn't work hard, he would be eliminated.
It was his sister who took this position. Therefore, Ye Ming's advice to him was to maintain his position. Be a down-to-earth person, do things honestly, wait for the opportunity, and wait for the opportunity to win Lachlan in one fell swoop.
These words made James' blood boil. Good guy, take down Lachlan. James has dreamed of it, but he just doesn't know how to do it. Now Ye Ming's words are like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating his gloom.
future.
This was the second time that James invited Ye Ming over. He watched the blood-red wine gently slide from the glass. It had a good cup content and was quite pure wine.
But this is not the main thing. While admiring the charming wine, James said: "Ye Ming, you are really courageous. You dare to scheme against my father. Do I really think that you can still succeed?"
Being able to make my father suffer is not something that anyone can do. What you did is already a pretty good thing. I sincerely admire you for this."
He knew about Ye Ming and the Fox Group. But he didn't want to meddle in this kind of thing. But Ye Ming was able to win, which was a very surprising thing to him. Especially in this situation.
On a question, Ye Ming paid no price at all.
Therefore, Ye Ming has another layer of mystery in James's heart. Not everyone can make his father suffer.
Ye Ming is one, and he seems to be very relaxed. James is very curious, how did Ye Ming obtain the information, and how did he give the information to the newspaper reporter?
Ye Ming said with a smile: "My problem is nothing. I need help from noble people. You don't think I have such great ability. In fact, someone helped me. Otherwise, I will be very embarrassed."
James didn't believe a word he said. Ye Ming was a very cunning person. Therefore, on such an issue, Ye Ming must have taken the lead in this matter. However, Ye Ming refused to admit it, and there was nothing he could do about it.
.
James's understanding of Ye Ming is that even if you catch Ye Ming's evidence, he will deny it with confidence in person and say that you are slandering. What's more, James is just guessing.
James did not expect Ye Ming to admit it, and waved his hand and said: "Anyway, I think this matter has something to do with you. Whether you admit it or not, in your words, a black cat and a white cat can catch mice.
, that’s what’s called a good cat, right?”
Ye Ming said with a smile: "That's right. This is what a great man said. What a great man says is always correct. But I am not as good as you. Your father and I have a hostile relationship, but you have such a good relationship with me.
Aren't you afraid that your father will deal with you after he finds out and cancel some of your current shares?"
Now James actually doesn't have much power in his family except for some important shares. This position is quite embarrassing. Therefore, Ye Ming's reminder like this is like spreading words from James' wounds.
Like salt. This is a very vicious knife.
James said indifferently: "How could I be more unlucky? Even if I don't do anything, so what? Now my eldest brother is the real heir of the family. He won't care about me. I said this
Do you believe it?"
Ye Ming said with great certainty: "I believe you are the only one who has a ghost. You have done well during this period and do it steadily. One day your father will see that your prodigal son will turn around and you will not be able to exchange for gold. When the time comes, you will
There is a chance to rise to the top.”
Ye Ming has always been very convinced that James can rise to the top. Even James himself is not so sure about this. But Ye Ming is very sure that James can rise to the top in such a matter.
James laughed and said: "This is true. I'm not a prince anyway. My eldest brother is the heir chosen by the old man. Doing your own thing well is a very good thing. Do you think that in this situation?
What should I do in this situation? It is impossible to stay in News Corporation and compete with my eldest brother for favor. What my father is most unhappy about is watching us brothers kill each other. You don’t need to mention this matter in the future."
Ye Ming said with a smile: "There will be bread and milk. You are not your eldest brother. You don't know what he is thinking. By the way, if you want to become a master, then this
It's time to go to Hong Kong City, Star TV, it's a very suitable place for you, the Murdoch family should have a lot of investment there, right?"
This is true. James was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you sure about managing a satellite TV station? You must know that our family started in news. Newspapers are the capital for our family to live and work."
Everyone knows that in the Murdoch family, News Corporation is the boss. The real family heir must control News Corporation.
If Lakelan can successfully solve such a problem, then James can basically only drink soup. It is even impossible to drink soup. But now Ye Ming still asks James to go to Hong Kong
City Star TV, it’s strange that he can’t be angry about this.
Ye Ming said very relaxedly: "Calm down. Calm down, don't be so angry. Do you think newspapers will always be the mainstream of society?
How many people have cared about newspapers for more than a hundred years? Therefore, the future world is the world of the Internet, and Star TV is a new media with an Internet structure. If you experience it in a place like this first, it is not impossible to think about Fox in the future.
Let me ask you, if you want to control Fox now, do you think your father and your eldest brother might agree?"
Of course this is impossible. As a playboy in the eyes of his father and a loser in the eyes of his elder brother, it is impossible for him to get involved with Fox.
James said very firmly: "Impossible, this is impossible to fight. Fox is controlled by my father. He will not let me do it, and my elder brother will not give me this opportunity."
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Yeah, they won't give you this opportunity, but think about it, if your eldest brother and your father fall out, whose property will Fox be in the future?
Wouldn't it be better for you to take over? But if you have no leadership experience at all, how can you control Fox? If you are leading Star TV in Hong Kong, you can do better.
You have become an elite that everyone can recognize. Even if your father does not let you master Fox, he will still recognize your ability. Once your elder brother makes a mistake, your father will be the first to think of it.
It's you.
Otherwise, your sister will take the opportunity to rise to power when the time comes. You don’t think your sister doesn’t have this opportunity, do you?”
It seems. After thinking about this, James thought for a while and said: "It's really possible. Elizabeth is very ambitious, and she won't give up casually. Do you think I should go to Hong Kong City?"
Ye Ming nodded very firmly and said: "You have to change other people's impressions of you and make Star TV a good job in a down-to-earth manner. That's enough.
You don’t have to worry about what other people think. It doesn’t matter whether you are your eldest brother or your sister. What is important is your father. As long as you have a shrewd and capable person in your father’s heart who can create such an impression, then you
It's a success.
As for whether you can inherit the family's property, we have a saying in China, do your best and obey fate, that's out of your control."
Ye Ming's words made James feel psychological about this matter: "Yes, you are right. I should do something in my career to show my father that his youngest son is not a waste. He is the same."
Able to get things done.
Ye Ming, I have to say that you are a very insidious person. You just hacked my father, and now you have noticed something like this. Are all you Chinese people so cunning?"
Ye Ming said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment. Regarding this matter, I recommend reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a famous Chinese novel. If you can calm down and understand this novel, your eldest brother is not you at all.
Your opponent? Hong Kong City has a strong atmosphere of Chinese literature. You should study the thick and black literature there. The Three Kingdoms is a must-read book."
The five thousand years of Chinese thick and black knowledge are all contained in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The insidiousness, cunning and thick and black art of war are naturally beyond the reach of a foreigner.
James nodded and said: "I will get a book to read later. Ye Ming, if you need my help with anything, just ask. In the United States, although I failed once, I still have a lot of friends. Even if they don't help me,
I have face, and I will give face to the name Murdoch."
Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "This is no longer necessary. I hope that one day, others will give me face because I am a friend of James Murdoch. At that time, it will be the time for you to truly succeed." Relying on one person
It is possible to succeed for a while with a family's reputation, but it is absolutely impossible to succeed for a lifetime.
James Murdoch just lacks an opportunity like Ping. If there is such an opportunity, it means that the good wind will send me to Qingyun by force. (To be continued)
