Chapter 268 Murdoch

In 1952, a young man bought the cheapest air ticket and flew back to his hometown of Australia. His father died suddenly of a heart attack in Australia a few days ago, and he had to rush back to deal with the funeral.

After finishing his father's funeral, the young man who was still studying at Oxford University fell into confusion. What his father left him was 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 for his own life, and eventually he became a media tycoon.

He is Rupert Murdoch.

A man like Murdoch never takes the usual path. He has a quick mind.

"Tell PR to put the call into my office and I'll speak to them in person."

"Hi, I'm Rupert."

"Rupert? Are you Rupert?"

"Yes, boss of The Sun."

"Rupert, a week ago I would have greeted you with an F, but I won't now."

"What changed your mind?"

"That's Tang Zhenglong."

"I now know that The Sun actually has morals."

This……

"In fact, we are just serving the bottom of the UK."

"No need to explain, I forgive you."

"Thank you."

Putting down the phone, Murdoch felt itchy in his heart. He really wanted to see this Tang Zhenglong.

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

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"How are you doing in England?"

"good."

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

"Strange call?"

"Call from Murdoch."

"Is that the rich man?"

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, with assets of more than 100 billion US dollars, such a person is thicker than Colonel's waist.

"Correct."

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

"Just one request."

"what?"

"He wants to see Tang Zhenglong."

Stevens' heart skipped a beat, and his first reaction was that Tang Zhenglong caused trouble again?Who is Murdoch?

Buying a Premier League team is like playing games, and it's obviously not that fun to offend someone like that.

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

"No." Stevens laughed.

"Let's see each other then. It would be great if we can cooperate. Maybe it's because of Cologne's development potential."

"I think so too."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, let's go for the midweek game."

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

"Don, come out."

"Oh."

Stevens called Tang Zhenglong to the end of the corridor.

"Don, do you know Murdoch?"

"The pharmaceutical company?"

"That's Merck."

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

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

"He wants to see you."

"See you then."

"Don, don't you understand? Murdoch is a millionaire with tens of billions of dollars. We can't easily offend such a person."

Tang Zhenglong was not happy, "Head, what do you mean? Why is it an offense to see me?"

……

"Okay, I've made a mistake, anyway, this time you must not talk nonsense, the boss himself called to warn."

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

A black line appeared on Stevens' forehead, "Okay, it's all my fault, anyway..."

"Boss, you don't need to say it. If you don't believe me, then I'll go out and live alone."

Tang Zhenglong was the best at pushing his nose to his face. Since Stevens wanted something from him, of course he had to go too far.

"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, then nodded, "It's about my salary increase."

"Tang Zhenglong! Don't go too far!"

"..."

"no problem!"

*****
The helicopter landed slowly and landed on the apron 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 Tang."

"Hello, Rupert."

When they came to the restaurant of the hotel, only Tang Zhenglong and Murdoch were left.

"What would you like to drink, Rupert? The coffee here is good."

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

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

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

"Yeah, your reporter said I can tell the truth."

Murdoch smiled, "That's right."

"I found you to be a media whiz, you're funny to talk about."

"What do you mean?"

"Many people say that The Sun is fake news, but have you ever thought that everyone can do fake news, why is The Sun the most successful?"

Tang Zhenglong didn't think about it.

"Many people are studying my Murdoch, but there is only one Murdoch in the world."

Murdoch took a sip of water and continued: "Because the content I make is liked by everyone, which is the most important thing."

"It's like when you talk, everyone loves to listen."

Tang Zhenglong showed a flamboyant smile.

"Being in the media, being scolded and praised is success. The worst failure is that no one cares about you."

Tang Zhenglong nodded, "It makes sense."

"By the way, what is your purpose for looking for me? Is it to invest money in the Cologne club?"

"Haha, you can consider it."

"But there is one more thing, and that is that I want to make friends with you."

"friend?"

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

Murdoch seems to have interpreted the OS in Tang Zhenglong's heart from Tang Zhenglong's expression.

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

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

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

Tang Zhenglong rubbed and rubbed his hands.

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

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

Murdoch was dumbfounded. This... speaking directly is an advantage, but it seems a bit unbearable to be too direct.

"What benefits do you want?"

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

"To Cologne?"

Tang Zhenglong nodded.

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

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

"Tang, you know that I have great influence in the media circle." Murdoch was implying that Tang Zhenglong could help Tang Zhenglong if there were any scandals in the future, but Tang Zhenglong didn't think about this at all. He had a thick skin and was afraid of it.
