Chapter 268: Murdoch

In 1952, a young man bought the cheapest plane ticket and flew back to his hometown of Australia, where his father had died of a heart attack a few days earlier, and he had to rush back to deal with the aftermath.

After his father's funeral, the young man who was still studying at Oxford University fell into confusion, and his father left him with a mess, several newspapers that were losing money and were on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, he had no choice but to take over his father's mess as a starting point in his life, and eventually he became a media mogul.

He was Rupert Murdoch.

People like Murdoch never go off the beaten path, and he thinks quickly.

"Tell the PR department, get the phone to my office, I'm going to talk to them personally."

"Hello, I'm Rupert."

"Rupert? Are you Rupert? ”

"Yes, the boss of The Sun."

"Rupert, if it had been a week ago, I would have greeted you with a word that starts with f, but now I won't."

"What changed your opinion?"

"It's that Tang Zhenglong."

"I now know that The Sun is actually disciplined."

This......

"Actually, we're just serving the British underclass."

"No need to explain, I forgive you."

"Thank you."

Putting down the phone, Murdoch's heart itched, he really wanted to see this man named Tang Zhenglong.

*****

Stevens' phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was the number of the owner, Achim.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"Are you okay in the UK?"

"Not bad."

"Well, that's good, I got a very strange phone call."

"Strange calls?"

"A call from Murdoch."

"Is that the rich man?"

Media tycoon Murdoch, with assets of more than $10 billion, is thicker than Cologne's waist when he plucks a hair.

"Yes."

"Do you want to work with us? Did you ask for anything? ”

"Just made a request."

"What?"

"He wants to see Tang Zhenglong."

Stevens's heart chuckled, and his first reaction was that Tang Zhenglong caused trouble again? Who is Murdoch?

Buying a Premier League team is like playing, and offending such people is obviously not all that fun.

"Don didn't cause trouble, did he?"

"Nope." Stevens laughed.

"Let's see each other, it would be great if we could cooperate, maybe we will see the development potential of Cologne."

"That's what I thought too."

"Well, over to you, come on for the midweek game."

Putting down the phone, Stevens came to Tang Zhenglong's room, where he was playing a game with Matip.

"Don, come out."

"Oh."

Stevens called Tang Zhenglong to the end of the hallway.

"Don, do you know Murdoch?"

"The pharmaceutical company?"

"That's Merck."

"I'm talking about Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul who is featured in half of the newspapers in Britain."

Tang Zhenglong shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"He wants to see you."

"See you then."

"Don, didn't you figure it out? Murdoch is a billionaire, and we can't easily offend such people. ”

Tang Zhenglong was unhappy, "Head, what do you mean?" Why is it an offense to see me? ”

……

"Okay, I'm wrong, anyway, you must not talk nonsense this time, the boss will call in person to advise."

"Head, what do you mean? When have I ever talked nonsense? ”

Stevens had a black line on his forehead, "Okay, it's all my fault, anyway......"

"Head, you don't have to say it, if you don't believe me, then I'll go out and live alone."

Tang Zhenglong is the best at kicking his nose and face, and since Stevens has a request for him, then of course it should be a little too much.

"Don, it's all my fault, I'm stupid, can you please represent Cologne and show Cologne's image."

Tang Zhenglong thought for a while and nodded, "My salary increase." ”

"Tang Zhenglong! Don't go too far! ”

“……”

"No problem!"

*****

The helicopter landed slowly and landed on the tarmac on the top floor of the hotel.

An old man walked out of the cabin, Stevens and Tang Zhenglong stepped forward, and the two sides introduced each other.

Murdoch patted Tang Zhenglong on the shoulder, "You are Don." ”

"Hello, Rupert."

When I came to the hotel's restaurant, only Tang Zhenglong and Murdoch were left.

"Rupert, what to drink? Good coffee here. ”

"White water is fine, I can't sleep well at night."

"Okay, a cup of coffee, a glass of water."

Murdoch took out a newspaper and handed it to Tang Zhenglong, "This is the latest issue of The Sun, is this what you said?" ”

"yes, your reporter said I could tell the truth."

Murdoch smiled, "That's right. ”

"I found you to be a media wizard and you talk funny."

"What do you mean?"

"A lot of people say The Sun is fake news, but have you ever wondered why The Sun is the most successful when anyone can do fake news?"

Tang Zhenglong didn't think about it.

"A lot of people are studying me Murdoch, but there's only one Murdoch in the world."

Murdoch took a sip of water and continued: "Because the content I make is something that people like to watch, and that's the most important thing. ”

"It's like you talk, and everyone loves to hear it."

Tang Zhenglong smiled sassy.

"Being a media, being scolded and praised by others are all successes, and the most unsuccessful thing is that no one cares about you."

Tang Zhenglong nodded, "That makes sense." ”

"By the way, what is the purpose of your search for me? Do you want to invest money in the Cologne club? ”

"Haha, you can think about it."

"But there's one more thing, and that's that I want to be friends with you."

"Friends?"

Tang Zhenglong never imagined that he could become friends with Murdoch.

Murdoch seemed to interpret Tang Zhenglong's expression to the os in his heart.

"I don't want to make friends at my age, it's just a principle, I like it."

"I like your character and dare to speak as much as I do, so I want to make friends with you."

Tang Zhenglong is so disappointed, Stevens clearly let himself squeeze real money from the old man, this old man actually wants to be a friend, you are Zhou Huajian.

Tang Zhenglong's hands rubbed and rubbed.

"What? Don't you want to be friends with me? ”

"No, I just want to know, is there any benefit to being friends with you?"

Murdoch was dumbfounded, this ...... It's an advantage to be direct, but it's a little unbearable to be too direct.

"What kind of benefits do you want?"

Tang Zhenglong thought for a while, "Can you have a meal with my boss Achim?" ”

"To Cologne?"

Tang Zhenglong nodded.

"Yes, I haven't been to Cologne yet."

"That's great, you've helped me a lot."

"Don, you know I have a lot of influence in the media circle." Murdoch is hinting to Tang Zhenglong that if there is any scandal in the future, he can help, but Tang Zhenglong didn't think of this aspect at all, he was thick-skinned and afraid of something.
