My Age of Investment

Palo Alto, with its beautiful scenery and home to numerous celebrity residences in Silicon Valley, is a well-known affluent area.

Among the continuous villas, in a single-family brick and wood villa with an ordinary and even shabby appearance, Laurenna was preparing breakfast for the family while squeezing the freshest juice and carrot juice for her husband.

Suddenly, a rapid ringing of the phone broke the morning tranquility.

Laurenna picked up the phone, chatted for a while and said: "Mr. Egg, I'm very sorry, you may need to wait a little longer, Steve is still sleeping at the moment.

He was in pain all night last night, until finally he couldn't bear it anymore and used anesthetic to relieve the pain before he managed to fall asleep. "

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before asking: "Doesn't he still need to cooperate with the surgical treatment? You didn't persuade him? If it continues like this..."

Laurenna wiped the tears on her face and sobbed: "You and he are old friends. You should know very well that he is extremely stubborn and he will not listen to anyone's opinions.

In his original words: I am not allowed to give up any part of my body, and I really don’t want them to cut open my body. That is a serious violation of me! "

The man on the other end of the phone fell silent again, and sighed after a while: “Laurena, be strong, all of us are standing by your side.

About convening a board of directors...Okay, you can tell him about it a few hours later! "

A few hours later, Laurenna opened the bedroom door with apple juice, walked to the bedside, put down the tray, and looked at her husband who was still sleeping. She touched his bloodless face with distress, and touched the cheeks. There is no meat and it feels a bit irritating to the touch.

She remembered Mr. Iger's instructions and gently woke up her sleeping husband, "Steve, Disney will hold an emergency board meeting this afternoon. Mr. Iger called in the morning and asked if you want to attend the board meeting?"

Jobs rubbed his sleepy eyes, "What is the content of the meeting?"

"Acquire Marvel!"

"Hasn't this matter been discussed for several years? There have been disagreements among shareholders, resulting in the acquisition being constantly shelved."

"Mr. Iger said that a Wall Street fund is interested in Marvel. If Disney doesn't take action, Marvel will lose this time."

“Which Wall Street fund?”

Laurenna thought for a while and finally told the truth without hiding anything: "Vision Capital!"

Jobs was no longer sleepy and reacted fiercely, "Is it the fund founded by that yellow-skinned monkey?"

Before marrying Jobs, Laurenna worked as a fixed income trading strategy analyst at Goldman Sachs, so she was not an ordinary housewife. She was very aware of the grievances between the founder of the fund, Darren Xia, and her husband. .

It was because of that Chinese boy that my husband was kicked out of the Wisdom Fruit Company for the second time.

Suffering this major blow, her husband's pancreatic cancer condition worsened a lot.

At the Wisdom Fruit first-generation mobile phone launch conference more than a year ago, my husband was still able to stand on the stage and give a speech, but now he is tortured to death every day because of his illness.

Before Laurenna could react, Jobs sat up in his dying illness, lifted the quilt, and jumped out of bed. His movements were so quick that he didn't look like a patient.

He rummaged through the closet and found a suit, put it loosely on his skinny body, and kept giving instructions: "Laurena, please contact the flight crew immediately, and we will take off to Los Angeles in an hour.

In addition, I will notify Disney CEO Robert Iger and ask them to postpone the board meeting. This time I will participate and he will not be required to vote on my behalf. "

Laurenna blocked Jobs' path and said, "Steve, your body no longer allows high-intensity work."

Jobs stroked his wife's face and smiled: "I now understand that the meaning of life is not about how long it lasts, but about how colorful it is.

Darren Xia has brought endless humiliation to my life, and this time I want him to taste the taste of failure! "

After saying that, Jobs gently pushed his wife away and walked out with slow but firm steps.

At this moment of Jobs, Laurenna seemed to see the figure who scolded Fang Qiu in the lecture hall of Stanford Business School nineteen years ago, with the same high-spirited and confident face.

That was the first time they met. At that time, Jobs was already a famous technology entrepreneur, and she was just a student who had just resigned from Goldman Sachs and came to study at Stanford.

Laurenna stopped Jobs and chased him out with the tray, "Take the medicine."

Jobs took the cup filled with apple juice, looked at the cow dung capsule handed over by his wife, and frowned slightly.

However, thinking that these were specially made capsules of cow dung flown from India, which were said to cure all diseases, he still endured his nausea and psychological discomfort, took a sip of juice and swallowed the capsules.

In the five years since he suffered from cancer, in addition to insisting on taking cow dung capsules, he even invited a master psychic from India to channel him. He also tried acupuncture and herbal medicine, but the cancer cells still spread.

Now he insists on eating vegetarian food every day, hoping to use this method to "starve" the cancer cells to death.

"You have to undergo a liver transplant!" Laurenna reminded.

"Let's wait until I finish today's board meeting!"

Laurenna was pleasantly surprised to find that her husband was no longer as resistant to liver transplant surgery as before.

I don’t know if it was because of his opponent that his husband’s desire to live was rekindled.

Beverly Hills.

In a mansion, Murdoch looked at his second son in front of him and said calmly: "James, do you think we should get involved in the sale of Marvel?"

James was very excited, "You must participate! Father, I have never forgotten the fact that Darren Xia made you so angry that you were admitted to the hospital.

It's just that I am in the UK and cannot carry out corresponding retaliatory actions.

Now that we finally got the chance, we can't let him go no matter what. "

Murdoch's face was neither happy nor sad. At that time, he wanted to join forces with the other five major Hollywood companies to swallow up Facebook and YouTube. However, this alliance, which each had its own agenda, was destroyed by Xia Jingxing after throwing out a Hulu video, which led to his Plan failed!

As the initiator of that action, News Corporation's 21st Century Fox and Fox Television Network were not only cut off from Hulu Video shareholders by Xia Jingxing, but were also encouraged by the other party's YouTube users to sabotage News Corporation's industry. They were angry and silent. Doc's prostate cancer broke out. Not only did he become incontinent and pee all over his crotch, he was also admitted to the hospital.

The photo of Murdoch being carried into a car on a stretcher was accidentally taken by other media, causing the news that the old man was sent to the hospital out of anger and became a hot topic, causing the old man to lose face.

After nearly two years of treatment and conditioning, Murdoch's condition is now under control, but the relationship between News Corporation and Xia Jingxing has thus ended.

Media outlets owned by News Corp. often blackmail Xia Jingxing’s industries such as Facebook, YouTube, and Fuxing Mobile.

Facebook and YouTube also often use social networks to expose some of News Corporation’s black material.

Most of the time, the two sides just talk to each other, and then explain and claim credit to the big bosses behind each other, because they both know that the other side is not a soft persimmon, and until one of the parties does not reveal a particularly big flaw, the other side cannot even think of giving a big blow.

But old Murdoch had been holding his breath in his heart and wanted to find an opportunity to teach Xia Jingxing a painful lesson.

But after all, the old man has been in the shopping mall for more than half a century and can control his emotions and personal feelings.

He said to James calmly: "What happens to 21st Century Pictures? Apart from adding obstacles to Vision Capital's acquisitions, what other commercial benefits can it gain?"

This question stumped James. He scratched his head and said, "Isn't it enough to teach Vision Capital a small lesson? Their main business is finance, not media.

Oh, I understand. If the acquisition of Vision Capital is completed and it officially enters the film industry, we will slowly take care of them. "

"I'm asking about the benefits?"

Looking at his son who was not very talented, Murdoch Sr. was also very upset.

James tossed and turned, but couldn't think of any good ideas, so he could only shake his head.

Murdoch shook his head secretly, sighed, and began to teach his son step by step.
