Imperial Twilight, Feast for the Rich: Who Will Inherit the "Legacy" of 92-year-old Murdoch?
The picture comes from the Internet
The old man is 92 years old, and his body is still strong, but the question of the heir, like the sword of Damocles, hangs over the Murdoch family and lingers
This is not a small amount of money, nor is it a small company, we are talking about a huge media empire, a behemoth that spans Europe, the United States and Australia, and has global influence, this company is News Corporation, which owns a series of well-known media such as "The Wall Street Journal", "The Times", "New York Post", and entertainment giants like 21st Century Fox, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can influence Western public opinion
With such a big mess, who will take over? This is not a TV series, just find a pleasing one, in this life, the old man has married four wives and gave birth to six children, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, in order to compete for power, the family fights openly and secretly, comparable to a realistic version of "Game of Thrones"
Let's talk about the old man's four marriages first, the first wife Pat, gave birth to a daughter for him, named Prudence, this girl is relatively low-key, has no interest in the family business, it is estimated that there is nothing to share, the second wife Anna, that is a ruthless character, accompanied the old man to start from scratch, laid down half of the news Corporation, they gave birth to three children: the eldest son Lachlan, the second son James and the youngest daughter Elizabeth, these three are the popular candidates for heirs
The picture comes from the Internet
Don't forget the third wife Deng Wendi, a legendary Chinese woman, but she gave birth to two daughters to the old man by relying on a glass of red wine: Grace and Chloe, although Wendi Deng is shrewd and capable, but after all, they are a "halfway couple", and the two daughters are still young, and it is difficult to compete for inheritance!
Don't look at the old man's age, but the knife is not old, and in 2016, he married his fourth wife, Jerry ·Hall, a model who is 25 years younger than him, this marriage is more like the romance of an old husband and a young wife, and it has no impact on the battle for inheritance
In this battle for wealth, the most fierce is the competition between Anna and Wendi Deng, Anna is not a vegetarian, when she divorced, she opened her mouth and took away the old man's $1.7 billion, and also asked to revise the rules of the family trust fund to firmly control the family in the hands of herself and her three children
Deng Wendi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, for the future of her two daughters, she tried her best, and even did not hesitate to use various means, but unfortunately, Jiang is still old and spicy, Anna is a chess player, Deng Wendi finally lost the battle and left the field with her two daughters
The picture comes from the Internet
Now, the old man is old, the question of the heir is imminent, Lachlan, as the eldest son, has always been regarded as the most likely successor, he is shrewd and capable, and his style is tough, and he has won the true biography of the old man, not to mention James and Elizabeth, who also have their own ambitions and strengths
James was once considered the successor of the old man, but because of the phonehacking incident, his reputation has been severely damaged, and the position of heir has become precarious, and Elizabeth is a successful media person, she is independent and capable, but because she is a woman, she is at a disadvantage in the family business
In this battle for the wealthy, until the last moment, no one can predict the ending, who will the old man choose to inherit his empire? Is it the capable eldest son Lachlan, or the comeback James, or the unshaven Elizabeth?
Perhaps, the old man will give us an unexpected answer, after all, in the face of power and wealth, family affection often seems insignificant, this feast of the wealthy has just begun, let's wait and see who can have the last laugh
The picture comes from the Internet
Power Confrontation: Anna's "Yang Scheme" and Deng Wendi's "Ambition"
Speaking of which, Anna is the driving force behind this wealthy drama, she knows that in a wealthy family, love is unreliable, and only power and money are eternal
When she divorced the old man, Anna didn't want that alimony, she wanted control of the family! She skillfully used the family trust fund and modified the voting rules, so that she and her three children had absolute control that even the old man could not shake
The appearance of Wendi Deng completely disrupted Anna's plans, this woman from China, smart, beautiful and ambitious, not only won the heart of the old man, but also gave birth to two daughters
The picture comes from the Internet
Deng Wendi's ambition, Anna can see it clearly, she will never allow Deng Wendi's mother and daughter to threaten the status of herself and her three children, a war without gunpowder is quietly unfolding between the two wives
Anna's methods are spicy, she uses her influence in the family to constantly suppress Deng Wendi, and even provoke the relationship between the old man and Deng Wendi, in the end, Deng Wendi was defeated and left the Murdoch family with her two daughters
The Successor Game: Lachlan's "Ambition", James's "Frustration" and Elizabeth's "Independence"
Of Anna's three children, Lachlan, the eldest son, is undoubtedly the most likely to inherit the family business, and he has been taken by the old man since he was a child, and he is well versed in the way of business
The picture comes from the Internet
Lachlan's tough-hearted personality and resoluteness earned him the admiration of the old man, who has held a number of key positions at News Corp. and accumulated a wealth of management experience
Lachlan's ambitions have also drawn the ire of some, and his younger brother James has always regarded him as his biggest rival
James was once considered the successor of the old man, he was young and promising, he had outstanding ability, and he also had a place in News Corporation, and the phonehacking incident made his reputation plummet, and the position of heir became precarious
In the face of his brother's pressing step-by-step approach, James was unwilling, but he had nothing to do, and in the end, he chose to leave News Corporation and start his own business
The picture comes from the Internet
Unlike her two older brothers, Elizabeth is not keen on the family business, she is independent and has her own career and pursuits
Elizabeth is a successful media personality who has started her own television production company and produced many excellent shows, she is not interested in the feuding of the family business and just wants to do her own thing
The Future of Empires: Fragmentation or Continuation?
Now, the old man is old, and the question of the heir is imminent, how will this battle for the wealthy end in the end?
The picture comes from the Internet
Is it Lachlan who gets his wish, inherits the family business, and becomes a new generation of media tycoons? Or will James make a comeback and return to the family business to compete with his brother?
Or was Elizabeth finally called by her family's sense of responsibility to give up her career and take over the vast media empire?
All this is still unknown, but one thing is certain, this battle for giants will have a profound impact on the Murdoch family and even the entire media industry
The story of the Murdoch family is like a mirror, reflecting the grievances and hatreds of wealthy families, and also allowing us to see the great allure of power and wealth
In the face of interests, family affection and love seem insignificant, what will be the end of this wealthy feast? Let's wait and see
