My Age of Investment

Chapter 1617 Fox

 Half a month later, Xia Jingxing arrived at San Francisco Airport in the United States on a special plane.

  Traveling with Xia Jingxing were Liang Mengsong and the latter’s Korean wife.

After getting off the plane, the group of people got into the car arranged by Liu Hai to pick them up at the airport.

Five or six cars lined up in a long queue, leaving the airport in a mighty manner and heading towards Palo Alto. Over there, Liu Hai has prepared a comfortable villa for Liang Mengsong and his family, and they can move in at any time with their bags.

Xia Jingxing and Liang Mengsong were sitting in the same car, and the former was explaining something to the latter.

"Lao Liang, you should stay in Palo Alto for the next half month. If you need anything, please contact Liu Hai at any time. He will take care of everything."

“You don’t have to worry too much about the lawsuit, everything has been arranged.”

“In the next few days, a group of lawyers from the United States will come to your door. They need to communicate with you. Is that okay?”

Liang Mengsong nodded hurriedly and even said it was no problem.

 Just kidding, of course he thinks it’s okay.

 After getting over the initial nervousness and panic, he soon saw Xia Jingxing’s true strength.

After Gulf Electric rejected the settlement proposal conveyed by Sullivan & Cromwell Law Firm, things developed in a direction he had never expected.

 First, the lawsuit was inexplicably accepted by the US court.

  Immediately after being severely slapped in the face, the relevant departments of Wanwan jumped out and issued a statement, stating that this was an international lawsuit involving the U.S. market and that Wanwan had no jurisdiction to accept it.

 In short, in one sentence, the lawsuits that were previously planned to be heard in Wanwan are no longer counted. Only the lawsuits that were heard in the United States have legality and authority.

After all, it is an important pillar industry on the island. The Internet and media in Wanwan are paying close attention to this dispute. After seeing the weak speech of the authorities, they all expressed that they have no spine and will listen to the Yankees in everything. But Wanwan The relevant departments did not respond and just pretended to be ostriches.

 Obviously, the development of things has been out of the control of some people in Wanwan, and the idea of ​​giving full play to local combat advantages has completely failed.

When the lawsuit starts in the United States, who knows what the outcome will be? In short, it cannot be a guaranteed victory.

Although Liang Mengsong knew that Xia Jingxing had smoothed relations with the United States, he still had some doubts in his heart, worried that Xia Jingxing was careless.

So he reminded him: "Mr.

Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded: "I know this, I will pay more attention to it."

Seeing that Xia Jingxing was so confident, Liang Mengsong stopped nagging.

 In fact, Liang Mengsong’s worries are not unreasonable.

However, Xia Jingxing is really not afraid of Zhang Zhongmou's tricks.

 After all, the United States is not some people’s spiritual homeland, but a country that belongs to their legitimate children.

Handpower’s current value is far from being comparable to what it will be more than ten years from now.

Ten years later, the United States will be eager to pack up and transport all of Gulf Power, but at the moment, Gulf Power is really not worth the trouble.

Leaving aside geopolitical factors, just talking about Gulf Electric’s semiconductor technology, there is also Samsung that can rival it, and its importance is not so irreplaceable.

 Besides, the Yankees probably don’t want to see Gulf Power become the dominant company.

At that time, Xiaobaozi's semiconductor technology was the only one in the world, and the Yankees backed up Xiaobangzi. Later, seeing the development of Xiaobangzi, they also supported Xiaobangzi.

 It has to be said that Ren Laomei is still very good at breeding technology, and he knows not to let his lackeys eat too much.

 A dog that is too full will not listen to its owner.

 …

 After sending Liang Mengsong to the villa where he was staying, Xia Jingxing left and headed to the Walsh Manor a few kilometers away.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw his eldest son, who was already four years old, running to greet him with his little daughter, who was just one year old, staggering on her short legs.

Xia Jingxing was so happy that he quickly knelt down, picked up a little guy in one hand, and walked towards Kristina with a smile on his face.

After teasing the children for a while, Xia Jingxing handed them over to the servants, while he and Kristina walked around the manor chatting.

“You are so bad. Wendi Dundu called me. Please be kind and ask Xiaoquan to take the video down.”

 “Why would she think I did it?”

Xia Jingxing’s face was full of innocence, but Kristina didn’t believe it at all.

“Everyone knows the relationship between you and the puppy, and the video was posted on the P station, how could you possibly get away with it.”

 “Okay, let’s just consider it as my doing.”

 “Did you really do it?”

Christina deliberately looked surprised, but in fact it was just the two of them playing a performance game. She really knew Xia Jingxing very well. If she didn't avenge the hatred she had held in her heart for so many years, she might not be able to sleep at night.

 “Hey, by the way, Wendi Deng and Murdoch have divorced.”

 “Oh, when did it happen?”

Xia Jingxing really didn’t pay attention to this, but he was not surprised by it. After all, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Lao Mo still wants to lose face, so what man can accept a green hat on his head? What's more, he wears this hat and is known to the world.

 “The one who just left yesterday has already been on the front page of major news.”

 “Old Murdoch can still bear it, he is a man!” Xia Jingxing praised with a smile.

"It's not as simple as you think. Who is Old Murdoch? After all, he is also a lifelong tycoon. How can he be swayed by personal emotions."

Xia Jingxing glanced at Kristina in surprise, "Do you know something else?"

Kristina introduced everything. It turned out that there were rumors that Wendi Deng had some handle on Murdoch. The old man didn't want to make the situation more ugly, so he endured the bad breath and delayed it for several months. Officially divorced.

After listening, Xia Jingxing asked: "So, Wendi Deng received a mansion in New York and a courtyard house in Beijing from Murdoch, and at the same time, her two daughters were added to the family trust beneficiary list set up by Murdoch? "

“Yes, this woman is quite smart and knows how to leave a way out for herself.”

Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, agreeing with Kristina's view.

It seems that Wendi Deng also shared so much property in her previous life. Although the scandal in this life is even bigger, the other party has not reached the point of leaving home.

 “Let’s not talk about her anymore, she is just a woman with some scheming and only wants to climb up.”

Xia Jingxing doesn’t care about Wendi Deng’s situation, he cares more about how to fight the battle with Murdoch Sr.

“I heard that Disney is interested in acquiring part of News Corporation’s business?”

"right."

 “You also intervened?”

“It’s just about playing support, the main force is Disney. Disney is better at dealing with these veterans.”

 …

The two were chatting on one side, while on the other side Disney CEO Robert Iger and the Murdochs were engaged in a tense war of words.

“USD 42 billion, this is our final bottom line.”

The red-faced Robert Iger has nothing to do with the elegant image he usually displays in front of the public.

He stared at the father and son opposite him with burning eyes, as if he would leave if they disagreed.

“You want to buy the Big Six at this price? How about we offer 40 billion US dollars and you sell Disney to us.”

 James Murdoch was fine if he didn't speak, but when he spoke, Robert Iger was so angry that he got up and left the table.

Before leaving, Robert Iger said harshly: "If the transaction is for the complete Fox, I will accept your offer. But if you want to strip Fox News of Fox's crown jewel, then the remaining scraps will Not worth the price. Goodbye Mr. Murdoch."

 Old Murdoch watched Robert Iger leave without saying anything.

“Father, Disney has no sincerity at all. It’s just taking advantage of the situation! Let’s not sell the company at all…”

 Old Murdoch interrupted his son's chattering and gave the latter a complex look, "James, you have been too impetuous recently. I want to give you a holiday, go out for a walk, and relax your body and mind."

 “Father, I actually...”

James understood what his father was saying. He was trying to exclude himself from the negotiating team! It's okay, I have been serving my father for so many years, and it's hard work without any credit! How can I accept being kicked away?

Old Murdoch didn't want to listen to his son's meaningless explanation, so he directly issued an eviction order, "Leave me alone, I'm a little tired."

Having said all that, James couldn’t say anything more and left the room with a look of reluctance.

The moment the door was closed, a heavy sigh sounded in the room.

 Old Murdoch felt that he was really about to be overwhelmed!

First the eavesdropping scandal broke out, and then the wife's cheating video went viral on the Internet. Now the younger son wants to fight for power. All the bad things are concentrated together, and they don't understand that he is already old and has to bear so much pressure.

However, Murdoch Sr. was a tycoon after all, and he quickly adjusted his mood.

 Then he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call his eldest son Lachlan Murdoch, who had been neglected by him in recent years.

 Compared to James who is in the spotlight, his brother Lachlan, who is only one year older than him, is much more low-key.

  He has not been involved in scandals. He has always been responsible for the family's traditional newspaper business. He also stays in rural Australia all year round. In the eyes of the outside world, he is a relatively clean and simple person.

 Murdoch Sr. is preparing to let the low-key and calm Lachlan appear in the public eye instead of James to restore News Corporation's poor corporate image.
