Chapter 151: The choice of right back

Anita's pregnancy has attracted a lot of media attention, the European media and the Chinese media are better, they only report as gossip news, Wan Sheng is 34 years old, and it is not surprising that he suddenly has a child. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The American media is different.

Many American financial media want to get more accurate information, because Anita is also the president of Dow Jones & Co., and her every move is directly related to Dow Jones and its Wall Street Journal.

This aspect is also something that the head of News Corporation, Anita's father, Murdoch, needs to consider.

Anita is Murdoch's favorite daughter and his legal heir, and although Anita does not fight for the largest inheritance of Murdoch's property like her two older brothers, Murdoch has considered leaving some property to her daughter.

Dow Jones & Company is one of the most influential companies under News Corp.

In 2007, News Corp. spent nearly $6 billion to complete the acquisition of Dow Jones & Co., and now News Corp. controls Dow Jones & Co., with a market value of more than $8 billion.

Murdoch owns 30 percent of News Corp.'s shares, which means that about $2.4 billion of Dow Jones' $8 billion market value is Murdoch's personal property.

Three years ago, Murdoch was ready to give his stake in Dow Jones to Anita, but his daughter was not able to do so, so she could only become a shareholder who 'controlled the largest shares, but had no say'.

Murdoch didn't want his children to be like that, so he asked Anita to take over the Dow Jones & Co., mainly to train her abilities.

After the media reported the news of Anita's pregnancy, Murdoch also got the news as soon as possible, he did not know it through the media, but a call from Anita, and Murdoch began to think about the problem of Dow Jones & Co.

In the eyes of the American financial media, the resignation of the CEO of Dow Jones is a big deal, but in fact, in Murdoch's view, it is a small matter at all, because Anita is in Dow Jones and does not actually control anything, more in learning, rather than really being in charge of things, and it is still Les Hinton who is really responsible for managing Dow Jones.

Les-Hinton has been in charge of Dow Jones since 2007 and is a 67-year-old old man under Murdoch, who has been working for Murdoch since the '60s, where he served as executive chairman of News-International and successfully cut costs and brought all businesses closer together.

In terms of ability, Murdoch believes in Les Hinton more.

Anita is Murdoch's daughter, from the perspective of family affection, he must feel sorry for his little daughter, but Murdoch is not the kind of person who particularly values family affection, in the eyes of a pure businessman, everything has a specific value, and his affection for Anita is his giving, in turn, he will not consider how much affection Anita has for him, so if Anita is asked to step down as CEO of Dow Jones because Anita is pregnant, he will feel indebted to Anita.

After the news of Anita's pregnancy, there was no news from Dow Jones & Co., and then on the third day, Dow Jones & Co. held a press conference to announce that Anita would step down as CEO and Les-Hinton would take over as the official head of Dow Jones & Company. In the afternoon of the same day, Murdoch, who was in Los Angeles, appeared in front of reporters, and he threw a bombshell news to the media, "I have decided to give my daughter ......Anne 10 million shares of Dow Jones Company that I personally hold."

That's big news!

The market value of Dow Jones & Co. is $100, which means that Murdoch personally announced that he had given a billion dollars to his daughter. This is the first time Murdoch has publicly gifted his property to his children.

Many US media analysts believe that "...... This could be the beginning of Murdoch's succession war! ”

Now that Murdoch has six daughters and two sons, even the most highly regarded James Murdoch is only the chairman of Sky Broadcasting and is in charge of News Corp's European and Asian operations, and has not really inherited Murdoch's fortune.

According to a Waltz Daily analysis, "After gifting a billion dollars of wealth to his youngest daughter, media mogul Rupert Murdoch is likely to fulfill his promise to hand over the "media empire" to his son." ”

The "son" in the report refers to James Murdoch, that is, the eldest son of Murdoch, who is familiar to Wansheng, and his younger brother Lachlan, who is also one of Murdoch's heirs.

Murdoch himself must have hesitated.

“…… The youngest daughter, Anne, directly received a billion-dollar gift from Murdoch, which also shows that Anne is Murdoch's favorite daughter is not a simple rumor...... It is worth noting that for the youngest daughter Anne, a billion dollars may not be nothing, his husband, football celebrity Wan Sheng, controls the Tagorewan Group, which has developed into a world-famous consortium, and he himself owns the largest number of shares in the Tagorewan Group and is also the chairman of the Tagorewan Group. ”

"According to interviews, the Tagore Wan Group is expected to be listed in the United States next year, so it can be expected that Wansheng will become one of the richest people in the world by then, and perhaps one day in the future, the succession of News Corp. will no longer be the focus of attention, and the movement of the 'Wansheng Consortium' will be more important."

――――

Dow Jones & Co., Murdoch himself, and the American media reported that they still had some impact in Madrid, Spain, and the media continued to hope to interview Anita herself, but Wan Sheng completely refused, in his eyes, the billion-dollar shares that Murdoch gave to his wife were not as important as the child in Anita's womb.

That's the only child in the past and this life, where can some dollars be compared?

In the next few days, Wansheng's house also became lively, his parents came, and the old couple came to take care of Anita, for this reason, the servants in the family became a lot more leisurely, because the cooking work was taken care of by Wansheng's mother.

After Wan Sheng's parents arrived, another guest came to the door, and the reception alone was too busy to leave the ground.

On the fourth day, Wan Sheng simply returned to the club.

If he stays at home, there will be customers coming to the door, and he will be very busy, it is not as easy as coming to work at the club, at least working in the club, no matter who wants to come, he has a reason to stay in the office by himself.

There are many more companies in the club, and the most important thing at the moment is transfers.

At present, the whole team's lineup, the most important thing to supplement is obviously the back line, after Domingos, Asunsan and others left, the main lineup of the back line is complete, the substitute lineup is very pitiful, and the supplement back line is imminent.

Previously, Wansheng also submitted a few player names for the club's transfer department to operate, but good defenders are not easy to buy, and even if you spend a lot of money, it is difficult to bring back those players who want to stay at the original club.

In more than ten days, the club's transfer department has only completed one transaction, which is still linked to the previous transfer of Aguero, that is, Jerome Boateng from Manchester City club.

Boateng can also be regarded as a veteran player under Wansheng, but in the two seasons under Wansheng, due to age, experience, ability and other problems, Boateng has not performed well, and can only serve as a substitute for the back line.

In the past three seasons, Boateng has also stayed at Manchester City, in fact, he has the opportunity to become a regular player, but Manchester City FC continues to buy outstanding stars, resulting in Boateng has not been reused, and he can only be a semi-main player.

At the time of Aguero's transfer, Atletico Madrid had reached an agreement with Manchester City to give Boateng a priority to sell Boateng to Atletico Madrid if he agreed.

Atletico Madrid then had a rival - Bayern Munich, and the Bundesliga giants wanted to bring Boateng to Munich to continue to strengthen the team's backline.

Bayern Munich's bid for Boateng is not low - 11 million euros.

It's a pity that Atletico Madrid has just sold the 'number one star' to Manchester City, coupled with the relationship between Wansheng and Manchester City, Manchester City Club must be inclined to sell Boateng to Atletico Madrid.

At this stage, the two clubs can wear a pair of pants, and coupled with the wishes of Boateng himself, Atletico Madrid got Boateng for 10.5 million euros.

With the addition of Boateng, the Atletico Madrid defense has been slightly supplemented.

However, it is not enough.

The most lacking part of the team's back line is on the right side, Filipe Kasmirski is a pure left-back, Luis Perea can play in the middle and can also play on the left, other players such as Godin and Raphael Varane can only play as central defenders, and Oujfarusi is good, but he is a little old after all.

Therefore, it is imperative to bring in a strong right-back.

Wan Sheng valued two players.

One is Juan Fran, who debuted in the Real Madrid academy, his full name is Juan Francisco Torres Belén, in the 2003-04 season, Juan Forlan played for Real Madrid's first team, and in the 2005 World Youth Championship he became famous, and was even hailed by fans as Figo's successor.

It's a pity that Florentino's Real Madrid never valued their youth players, resulting in Juan Forlan playing only six games in his two seasons at the Bernabeu.

Juan Forlan struggled to gain a foothold in the star-studded Galactic, having been loaned first to the Spaniards and then sold to Osasuna.

During the four and a half years he played for Osasuna, Juan Foran took on the responsibility of organizing the attack as the core of the team, and the weak team Osasuna, who was on the verge of relegation every year, was able to stay in La Liga every year, and Juan Forlan contributed a lot.

Most noteworthily, in the 2008-2009 season, Osasuna fought desperately for relegation against Real Madrid in the final round.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the game was finally over, and Real Madrid, who were playing with nine men, lost 1-2 away to Osasuna with a one-goal lead in the first half, ending all competitions in a five-game losing streak. After the win, Osasuna reached 43 points, and the thrilling relegation was successful.

In this game, it was Juan Forlan who overtook Osasuna.

Juan Forlan has been an absolute mainstay in the team during his four seasons at Osasuna, playing the full game in the first 18 rounds of the league last season.

Such an experienced, skilled and capable right-back, who is 26 years old and in his prime, is exactly what Atletico Madrid needs.

Wan Sheng's words to the club's transfer department were, "Juan Forlan must be taken at any cost!" ”
