Rebirth of England.

Chapter 937 Decisive
It can be said that although this divorce seemed like a "surprise attack" by Murdoch on Wendy Tang, he himself also considered himself a victim.

As we all know, the reason for their divorce was the extramarital affair between Wendy Tang and former British Prime Minister Blair.

"Everyone was talking about the relationship between Deng Wendi and Blair, but I was the last to know about it. Later, I learned two facts from the manor that were sufficient to confirm it."

This is what Murdoch later said when he talked about the divorce in an interview with Fortune magazine.

It is said that before this, Murdoch had heard news about Deng Wendi's infidelity in marriage more than once, but before that, he always chose to believe his wife.

Until one day, Deng Wendi accidentally sent an explicit "love letter" she wrote to Blair to the mailbox of a News Corporation employee...

"Oh my god! Why do I miss you (Blair) so much? You are so beautiful, well dressed, perfect body, even your butt is great..."

Such straightforward and cheesy words, I guess the employee was also confused when he saw this email from the "boss lady", especially since it was supposed to be sent to Blair...

So after hesitating for two days, the employee forwarded the email to Murdoch himself.

When Murdoch received the news, he was in Australia. He then went to the California estate to investigate in person. The servants of the estate confirmed that Blair and Deng Wendi had met secretly there many times and even fed each other.

Clearly, this goes beyond ordinary work or friendship.

What's worse, Blair entered Deng Wendi's bedroom and closed the door.

So Murdoch finally made a decision and decisively ended this marriage...

It is worth mentioning that since Murdoch and Devendra signed a prenuptial agreement and supplemented it with a postnuptial agreement in 2002 and 2004, Devendra could only get some breakup fees in this divorce battle. She basically could not get her hands on News Corporation's shares, nor could she become a beneficiary of the Murdoch family trust fund.

The two daughters she gave birth to for Murdoch became the beneficiaries of the Murdoch family trust fund and were able to receive corresponding dividends from the sale of many industries this time...

This means that Deng Wendi’s success is not accidental - she is also very harsh on herself.

After Murdoch met DeVinci, he quickly filed for divorce from his second wife. Just like this time, it was still a decisive decision.

At that time, his second wife Anna had put forward a harsh condition before the divorce:

That is, after Murdoch's death, Wendi Deng has no right to inherit any inheritance unless she gives birth to children after marriage.

You have to know that Murdoch was 68 years old at the time, suffered from prostate cancer, and was infertile.

However, Deng Wendi successfully gave birth to two daughters for Murdoch...

She used Murdoch's previously frozen "seeds" and with the help of high-tech in vitro fertilization, she eventually successfully gave birth to two daughters, which also consolidated her position.

It can be said that although Murdoch was very decisive about his divorce this time, it also had an impact on him, and became the main reason why he finally decided to sell many assets including Sky TV.

As for Comcast Group, after finally evaluating IC Capital's bid and the other party's determination to compete, their board of directors finally decided not to raise the price... This means that IC Capital has become the highest bidder among Sky's current competitors and has the greatest possibility of winning Sky.

"Dear Princess, your skills are getting better and better."

Barron's words were full of praise.

Recently, Cather has become interested in studying musical instruments, and it must be said that she is quite talented in this area.

At this moment, she was playing seriously, playing various instruments and singing with unique charm.

In the next room, several nannies were watching over the side, watching the children playing and having fun. Among them was Princess Cather's son, "Prince of Cambridge" George, who was not even one year old. At this time, he was lying in the cradle, babbling and waving at the children around him. From time to time, the children also teased him with toys and giggled at him.

As Prince William recently went overseas to participate in the British Navy's foreign exchange activities, and Prince George was less than a year old, Princess Cather stayed in Kensington Palace in London to take care of her young son and did not go with him...

In this case, as the godfather of the little prince, Barron did not forget to shoulder his responsibilities. He also has children who are slightly older than George in his family, and he can invite Cather to bring her children to his home as guests from time to time.

In addition to deepening his relationship with Prince George, Barron will also take time to appreciate Princess Catherine's attainments in art.

Especially from the audience's perspective, Princess Cather is able to humbly accept suggestions made to her.

Just like now...

At this time, Barron likes to feel the princess's "push, pull, play and sing" skills, standing in front of the window, admiring the scenery in the yard...

After all, in Barron's mansion, the scenery in the yard was carefully designed by the designer, and the current season is also the time when the scenery in the yard is the most unique...

……

On August 8, after many discussions and threats from the British side, the EU finally agreed to increase the subsidy from the EU High-Speed ​​Rail Special Fund for the upcoming High-Speed ​​Rail Line 15 from the initial 2 billion euros to 10 billion euros...

This also means that according to the agreement reached between the British First Rail Group and the government, the British government will have to take out 6.5 million euros from the government budget to supplement the total subsidy of 25 billion euros they promised.

On the same day, the First Rail Group of Britain, led by Amber Sheehan, finally reached an agreement with Eversholt Rail Group, one of the three largest railway vehicle leasing companies in Britain, to complete the acquisition of the company for 23 billion euros.

Eversholt Rail Group will then be merged into First Rail Group, making it one of the largest railway operating companies in the UK.

As mentioned before, Eversholt Railway Group makes profits by leasing its trains to various railway operating companies. In Barron's previous life, Li Chaoren's company acquired it for 25 billion pounds shortly afterwards.

Regardless of Li Chaoren's character, one has to admit that he has a good eye...

Of course, Barron's acquisition of Eversholt Railway Group through the First Rail Group is not only for asset appreciation, but also to gain corresponding train management experience through this acquisition, and to provide train management for the future UK High Speed ​​Rail Line 2 based on Eversholt.
