Chapter 2712 Unexpected Visitor

It is also a courtyard with three entrances. The area is not as large as those in Feng Yiping's hands, but the decoration is very distinctive.

The most eye-catching thing is the second entrance. The wall and courtyard gate are entirely made of shrubs, and there are flowers on the shrubs, which look like the flower arch at a Western wedding.

Entering from this door, you will see a path made of lawn at your feet. On both sides of the path are lush flowering shrubs, including roses, bunches of daisies, carnations, large-flowered delphiniums... red, orange, blue, green and green. Indigo, colorful.

Low lawns, knee-high shrubs, trees half as tall as a man, ancient trees that look old at first glance, vines climbing to the top of the wall...the layers are clear and well-proportioned.

Even though Feng Yiping had no research in this area, he could roughly tell that this was a carefully designed English garden, and now was its most beautiful season.

Although from a practical point of view, Australia is more flattering to the United States, fundamentally speaking, it has a deeper relationship with the United Kingdom.

Just like in this courtyard right now, whether inside or outside the house, you can see guys everywhere wearing small trousers, Oxford or brogue leather shoes, and speaking a standard London accent.

They were in groups of twos and threes, conversing among themselves. Even the host and the guest of honor were not surrounded by many people.

There were not many people with oriental faces, and they were on the fringe visible to the naked eye. However, when Feng Yiping, who was wearing a casual white shirt and khaki pants, arrived, this situation quickly changed. They felt a lot more confident, and those who were originally four The British guy, who was very proud despite being very proud of himself, saw Feng Yiping coming in and said hello to him with a smile.

Feng Yiping walked past them with a smile, and passively gave the hostess a kiss, "Thank you for the invitation. The garden is so beautiful."

Mrs. Murdoch took the bottle of red wine he brought and walked in with him, "This garden will really flourish if you come here,"

"Thank you," Feng Yiping had already seen Murdoch, whose hair was getting less and less, and was probably all white, and former British Prime Minister Blair, who had thick hair and was still handsome, and who was still wearing a suit in such weather. They stood side by side at the door and greeted him with a smile.

Tsk, old Murdoch, your eyes can shine behind the lenses, how come you can't see clearly what's going on around you?

"Hello Rupert," Feng Yiping hugged Murdoch. He wanted to ask Murdoch to move because the green leaves hanging from a vine that climbed to the wall happened to cover the old man. Mr. head.

"Feng, welcome to your presence,"

The former Prime Minister next to him still shook hands like a leader. He turned sideways so that he could face the camera that did not exist at this time. His handshake was short and strong, and his smile was kind and friendly. "Feng, it's nice to meet again,"

"I'm Tony too," Feng Yiping smiled without any grudge.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the hostess smiling broadly. While he was gossiping about whether the two of them were already entangled, he was also thinking about the fact that so many hairstylists in the country named themselves Tony, and this should be the most famous Tony. Does it matter?

If so, what is it about Tony that they want to emulate? Should you become a leader, or be obsessed with greening?

"Feng, the Internet is really great," the host said excitedly on the way to the living room.

"Congratulations to MySpace for its great success," said Feng Yiping.

In the Yahoo acquisition battle that has ended at this time, the biggest achievement of News Corporation, which had a little bit of involvement, was to get the market to have a clear price for their MySpace.

News Corp.'s acquisition agreement included a share exchange between MySpace and Yahoo. After a third-party evaluation, MySpace's share price was US$10 billion!

You must know that when they acquired it in 2005, they only spent a mere US$580 million.

This should be the first time that Murdoch has made such a big achievement in the Internet field.

Feng Yiping also knew that the reason why Murdoch was so happy was because they had snatched MySpace from their long-term rival Viacom. Therefore, the success of MySpace now has another meaning.

"Thank you," Murdoch handed Feng Yiping a glass of wine, "But Feng, in terms of the Chinese market, we are one step ahead for the time being," he said with some pride.

MySpace was approved to enter the country last year.

Feng Yiping laughed and said, "This is mainly my fault."

"You see, Facebook grew up too fast abroad. By the time I thought about setting up in China, its users had quickly exceeded 100 million. This suddenly made some of our domestic companies nervous, worried that if we came in, what would happen to us? Quickly occupying their living space, so,” he shrugged helplessly, “I sometimes think, how great would it be if we could be like MySpace?”

Murdoch was stunned for a moment, then started laughing first, "Hahahaha Feng, you are so funny,"

This old fox is not embarrassed at all by pretending to be 13.

What he said just now is really not showing off. Although MySpace is very successful, he certainly knows the gap between it and Facebook. That gap is that it is completely different.

So his words were mainly meant to be joking and liven up the atmosphere.

"However, I also experienced the difference of the Internet again." He and Feng Yiping sat down on a sofa with a strong floral pattern. "Have you seen those news?"

Feng Yiping took a sip of wine, "If you are referring to the news related to the lady from the Hilton family, I think I know,"

MySpace, which makes Mr. Mo proud, has recently been exposed to a series of problems that affect its valuation.

The most eye-catching one is naturally one of the founders, Chris DeWolfe, who frequently dates Paris Hilton.

You know, DeWolfe was still married at this time, and he had always been a good family man. This directly affected many users' perceptions of MySpace, so it naturally affected the company's development. Valuation.

"Why isn't there so much trouble on your side?"

"Maybe it's because I have a better character?" Feng Yiping smiled.

Murdoch also shook his head and smiled.

"Don't worry, it will pass." Feng Yiping put down his wine glass and nodded towards the former British Prime Minister who was sitting on the other side and chatting with the hostess. "I tend to increase investment in Europe, especially the UK. I hope to hear your opinions,"

As a former prime minister and a leader of the Communist Party, it goes without saying that Blair has many connections and abilities in the UK. Murdoch's development in the UK is also very successful and in-depth. Otherwise, there would not be the man who caused them huge trouble later. eavesdropping incident.

"Feng, your vision is as accurate as ever," Blair said immediately. "The UK has first-class talents and first-class industry and commerce, especially in the financial field. It also has unique geographical and political advantages. It is important to increase investment in the UK. A great decision,"

The former Prime Minister still hasn't forgotten his business.

Murdoch also put down his glass, "Feng, it sounds like you already have a goal?"

"Currently, we have a goal," Feng Yiping nodded. "I have always had a habit of always hoping that my company can have its own office building. In London, I also hope that this is the case."

"And now, we just have such an opportunity,"

"Acquiring property?" Blair was a little surprised. It seemed that he really didn't need to take part in such a matter.

Murdoch blinked. Feng Yiping was actually planning to acquire properties at this time? This seems to be a signal.

"The target is a little sensitive?" he asked.

Feng Yiping nodded, you are sensitive enough, "Maybe,"

He looked at Blair, "It's the landmark of the City, the original Swiss Re building,"

"Oh," the two men nodded in unison.

Although this is not as sensitive as the British palace, if it is not handled well, it may also attract opposition. Just think about what happened to the Japanese when they acquired the Empire State Building in New York.

When the hostess heard about this goal, her eyes suddenly lit up. She also liked saying such a thing.

"I think, if you don't mind, Feng, I can still provide some small help in this regard," Murdock said.

Of course, there is competition between the two of them, but in many aspects, especially in the media field, they have a very successful cooperation. In many aspects, they can speak in the same breath, and he does not mind contributing to this matter.

Blair thought for a while, "I don't think the problem is too big,"

After all, one of the current landlords of that building is German.

He then added, "Feng, you have my phone number, right?"

For someone like him, being able to have a closer relationship with a real social giant would naturally be beneficial without any harm.

This was the same promise to help. Feng Yiping picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you both,"

"My pleasure,"

Mrs. Murdoch was about to clink glasses with them when a waiter hurried over and said something in her ear, "He's here too?"

Seeing the looks of the three people here, she quickly said, "Mr. Sun from SoftBank is also here,"

Hearing this, Feng Yiping looked at her with a smile.
