"Top chameleon" Murdoch

The world's 'most influential People.

In 1985, when 20th Century Fox was in trouble, Murdoch took a swing and overpaid for its stock. He also bought seven other television stations to form Fox television, even selling two of his newspapers to do so. In the same year, Murdoch acquired six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington D.C. under the former fourth largest TV group "Metro Media Corporation" with 1.5 billion DOLLARS, thus sensational the Western world with "Murdoch whirlwind". However, U.S. law prohibits non-citizens from owning both a newspaper and a television station. Murdoch even took American citizenship to launch his own network. In September 2010, The British magazine New Politico put out a list of the 50 most powerful people in the world based on their power and influence around the world, and Murdoch topped the list.

"Top chameleon"

Insiders often describe murdoch's 100-odd newspapers as opportunistic, fickle "tabloids" that operate at a constant speed under the utilitarian values of "popism". In addition, Mr Murdoch has used his eclectic and flexible political stance to help news Corp gain a policy tilt at home and abroad, which is scandalous.

"High rollers"

The key word in Mr Murdoch's lexicon is "acquisition". If he sees an opportunity, he will make a quick decision and act on it. He will buy everything he wants, and he will get what he wants, no matter what the cost. When it comes to his favorite purchases, Murdoch can't help but make a grasping gesture, saying he's just "buy, buy, buy." He was a true businessman, zealous in the pursuit of money and profit.

"Dictator"

Mr Murdoch has said on many occasions that he does not want to be a "yes man". He believes that soft - hearted leaders can only lead to failure in business wars. And he was to be a perpetual leader, with no one to challenge his authority and "no one to talk nonsense to me about separation of powers".

workaholic

Instead of having a dedicated office, he often grabs a phone and instructs his subordinates, who are scattered all over the country and abroad, to deal with various problems. He rarely yelled or hoarse, but his commanding bass always made the other end of the line listen breathlessly. Murdoch's passion for his work was boundless. This is a constant source of anxiety for News Corp executives, who will often call them at 3am to check their numbers and face "long, cold embarrassments" for those who can't answer.

Wendi Deng controlled

He made no secret of his love for Wendi: "She took 30 years off me." The May-December romance was an international sensation and a source of internal strife within the Murdoch family. Wendi has also managed to "transform" Murdoch by using Traditional Chinese culture, making him accept traditional Chinese medicine, drinking traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and other methods that would be unacceptable to many Westerners. Once called a "monster" for being stiff and uncharismatic, Murdoch has become fashionable since his relationship with Wendi and a popular figure in social circles with a large group of artist friends. Under wendi's influence, Murdoch not only came to China more often, but also bought a courtyard house in Beijing for the convenience of living. At home, Murdoch complained bitterly, he was a nervous husband and a lonely old man. Often his wife wendi deng and the children were all speaking Chinese, and he walked around alone, unable to understand anything. He is such a strong desire to control, but apparently willing to be "controlled" by his wife wendi deng. And, as Murdoch often says, "The wife is always right."
