My Age of Investment

The hearing was hastily ended due to the commotion made by the protesters.

 Murdoch and Wendi Deng got into the same car and prepared to return home.

Before the driver could start the car, the reporters outside who had received the message were like a group of sharks that had seen blood. They ferociously surrounded Murdoch and stopped Murdoch's car on the spot.

Then, I don’t know where the courage of these paparazzi came from. They were not afraid of offending the industry tycoons at all. They boldly pointed the camera lens at the faces of the Murdoch couple sitting in the back seat of the car and took a snap.

Facing the flashing lights, Murdoch looked like a waning old man, his face full of helplessness and exhaustion, as if he had no power to stop the paparazzi at this moment and could only let the latter do what they did.

His "beautiful wife" was different. The latter glared at the paparazzi with an angry look on her face, her eyes full of murderous intent.

Coupled with the "high cheekbones" Asian makeup she specially applied today to conform to Western aesthetics, she looks a bit like the Chinese heroine in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which became popular in the United States a few years ago.

The paparazzi not only didn't get angry when Wendi Deng glared at her so hard, but actually accepted this wonderful close-up with a smile.

Soon, the paparazzi were dispersed by the Murdoch bodyguard team who chased after them, and the car was finally able to drive out normally.

Sitting in the car, looking through the rearview mirror at the shrinking crowd, Murdoch's originally stern face gradually relaxed, and then revealed a strange smile.

 After a moment, he turned to look at Wendi Deng, who was about to turn sideways to face him, and said with a smile: "You performed well today, somewhat beyond my expectations."

Wendi Deng held Old Murdoch's arm affectionately, then took the initiative to offer a sweet kiss, and said with an affectionate look: "Dear, as a wife, I feel very sad when I see my husband looking sad every day. , I very much hope to be able to help him.”

Although old Murdoch is a bit older, he still likes to take advantage of women. After hearing Wendi Deng's affectionate confession, he generously offered to give Wendi a courtyard house in the capital, which made the latter extremely happy. Close your legs.

However, old Murdoch is also an experienced player. He knows that you can't sprinkle too much bait at once. After coaxing Wendi Deng for a few words and casually taking out a few handfuls, he sent the woman away.

 After returning home, Old Murdoch first locked himself in the study alone. Within a few minutes, James also entered the study room.

 The father and son had a tacit agreement to exclude Wendi Deng, because what they were going to discuss next was News Corporation’s plan to fight back. In their view, it is enough for a woman to be a good vase, and there is no need to get involved.

Poor Wendi Deng, although she has been dubbed the "Tiger Wife", "Best Skin Care Product", and "Husband Protector" by the heated outside media, her status in the family does not seem to have improved much.

 “James, how is the situation outside now?”

Old Murdoch held a blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand and played with it carefully, as if he was very knowledgeable about Chinese cultural relics.

James was sitting across from him upright. After hearing his father's question, he quickly replied with joy: "It's a one-sided compliment! They all talked about how timely the slap was. It not only successfully prevented the protesters from committing violence." , also showed how terrifying it would be for a wife to fully burst out of her love for her husband in a state of crisis.

A professional organization analyzed that the force of Wendi Deng's palm was equivalent to an adult man weighing more than 132 pounds (120 kilograms) sitting on the protester's face in an instant.

It is said that someone clearly saw the protester’s nose bleeding all over the floor when he was dragged out by the security guards..."

Seeing his son happily telling himself that there were countless people outside discussing this slap and applauding Wendi Deng, the elder Murdoch showed a satisfied smile.

 That’s right, all of this is his handiwork.

As a media tycoon who has been involved in the media industry for decades, he understands the media industry very well and also knows what the audience likes to watch.

 So, he arranged this self-directed and self-acted ruse.

In fact, it wasn’t even a tactic, because the plate of shaving cream thrown by the protesters didn’t hit his face at all, but was empty.

However, regardless of whether the object hit him or not, it is an indisputable fact that he, an eighty-year-old man, was attacked in full public view.

Hence, the slap given by Wendi Deng is very famous.

 This is a wife protecting her husband! Old Murdoch knows the British very well and knows that these people must like this kind of news.

They will praise Wendi Deng and praise this woman for her courage and resourcefulness. When everyone was panicking, this lady from the East stood up calmly and calmly to protect her eighty-year-old husband.

 Then, it’s time for the media to give full play to their strengths!

 "The 30-year-old young wife gave the 80-year-old husband warmth",

 "Don't touch me, I have a wife who is like a wolf and a tiger",

 "The Domineering President and His Little Wife",

 Look, how topical!

When seeing this kind of title, no one will click in to find out.

Things happened just as Murdoch expected. Within two hours of the hearing, relevant news reports came out. The media changed their usual vicious tone and gave Wendi Deng a positive review for the first time.

 In the past, Wendi Deng has always been a bad woman in the eyes of the media and the public. She relied on her body to get to the top, slept all the way from China to the United States, destroyed other people's families, disliked the poor and loved the rich, climbed up the dragons and attached to the phoenixes, and took sperm to have children...

 In short, the bad things Wendi Deng did were all exposed by the British tabloids, and there was no secret at all.

Even such a shameless woman actually did something that was praised by people from all walks of life. Isn't this topical enough?

As long as I work harder later, my character design can be changed from black and red to pure red. It is not impossible to be a representative of women's rights in the fashion and celebrity circles in the future.

It is precisely because she has so many bad things about her that Wendi Deng was lucky enough to be chosen by Murdoch and became the key figure in News Corporation's efforts to shift the public's focus this time.

　　In Lao Mo’s view, the public has gone to gossip about Wendi Deng and paid attention to their old husband and young wife. The heat of the eavesdropping scandal will naturally subside, which will create a precious breathing space for News Corporation.

Of course, relying solely on automatic fermentation and dissemination of news would be too inefficient.

So Murdoch had already told his second son, James, that as soon as the hearing was over, he would order all the publicity machines under News Corporation to concentrate all their firepower and actively cooperate with the hired public relations company to hype up the slap.

He wants to turn his wife Wendi Deng from black to famous, and she also wants to become famous all over the world!

 The more popular the wife is, the more successful the plan is to divert people’s attention, and the safer News Corporation will be.

After a few more solemn exchanges with his son James, the somewhat exhausted old Murdoch ended the conversation and felt completely relaxed.

 In his opinion, the purpose of diverting the public's attention has basically been achieved, and there is nothing to worry about as long as the follow-up actions are carried out as planned.

 …

 The next day.

The news of "Slapping the Husband" spread across five continents and four oceans. Everyone knew Wendi Deng's name, and even the stock price of News Corporation rebounded and rose by five points.

 This is something that no one expected. The power of a slap is so terrifying.

Seeing that News Corporation's stock price has stopped declining, hedge funds holding large short positions have also begun to hesitate, wondering whether to close when the situation is good.

I believe that as long as the first person takes the lead in retreating, it will definitely cause a series of collapses, and the stock price of News Corporation that has been sniped by short sellers will definitely rebound significantly.

As for public opinion, it is gradually getting better, and more and more voices are praising the Murdochs, with some beautiful adjectives, such as love is like the deep sea, love is stronger than gold, transcends race and age, true love is invincible... It was all used by the two of them.

 Just when everything was going well, something suddenly changed!

 A YouTube video suddenly appeared on the hot search list in the UK. It not only took away the news focus of slapping the husband, but also pushed the incident further in an unpredictable direction.
