Chapter 373 Come on, David!

Beckham was caught off guard by Murdoch's question, which, to be honest, hadn't given him much thought.

My football career has just begun, and under the current circumstances, setting the goal of being a World Cup champion is considered audacious, but in the eyes of this bad old man, the World Cup can only be regarded as a stage goal in life.

Beckham was at a loss for words for a while, he still wanted to hear the media tycoon's outlook on life: "Mr. Rupert, I want to hear your opinion."

Hearing Beckham's words, the old Murdoch showed the attitude of a winner: "My father died suddenly at the age of 67, leaving me with several newspapers that continued to lose money. My idea at that time was to find ways to make these newspapers profitable first, and then not to expand the scale.

If I had followed my goals then, I would probably be the owner of a medium-sized Australian newspaper now.

So what I have to do now is to gradually let go, hand over the foundation to the children, and let them repeat my life.

I later found out that it is better to buy a large newspaper than to hope to gradually grow a small newspaper.

When I did this, I gradually realized that the country I was born in was just a small market.If you want to prove yourself in a larger market, you must continue to expand your territory.

As a player, the first thing you do is figure out what your value is."

Beckham was looking forward to sharing the experience of successful people, but he didn't expect to get headline party and advertisement placement in exchange.

While eating with standard etiquette, the old Murdoch poured poisonous chicken soup on Beckham.

"David, you are very young, you should learn to use your own advantages to accumulate wealth, don't you want to play until you retire at the age of 38, then become a football coach, and work until you can't hold on.

Is this the life you want?

Even if you can lead the club to the pinnacle of glory, so what if you lead the national team to win the World Cup?

Even if you have won all the honors for the club, if they think you are not good enough, you will still have no choice but to be kicked out."

What the old Murdoch said made Beckham feel very distressed. Every time the old guy asked questions, he could touch people's souls. After his curiosity was fully aroused, he started to repeat the placement of advertisements, which was simply brainwashing.

"What do you mean, Mr. Rupert?"

Beckham asked again, he liked the character of the old Murdoch very much.Although the years have left irreparable marks on him, his language is full of enthusiasm, and his words reveal a youthful atmosphere.

Yes, it is the breath of youth.

If you count the mental age, the enthusiasm of the old Murdoch is even higher than that of his son.

No loss, he is a man who can still be a father at the age of 72!

But the problem is, this bad old man wants to fool him with all his heart, and wants to develop his commercial value inside and outside the words.

"When you were 23, everyone loved you. Loved your handsomeness, loved your youth, but time is like Niagara Falls, and it is the end of life in a flash. When you are 60 years old, remembering that 23 years old is like yesterday, but nothing can be undone.

You can't be 23 forever, but someone will always be 23.You should take advantage of your youth to gain more life capital for yourself. It is a good choice for you to buy real estate in the East End of London, but that is just a small deal.

If you continue to buy houses at this pace, you will lose your goal by the age of 35.

If things really turn out like this, you'll just be a slowly decaying, slowly draining shell of your soul"

Although Beckham had made sufficient preparations, he was still tickled by old Murdoch's passionate words. He tried his best to endure the mood of going out to do a big business, and listened carefully to what the other party said. For him, this was a rare opportunity to deal with big people.

He wanted to see what such a person was paying attention to, what such a person was thinking.

But it is a pity that this bad old man is still fooling him: "If you are willing to cooperate with me, I guarantee that no media will dare to trouble you, otherwise they will quickly realize how stupid their actions are. I own 60% of newspapers in Australia. If a powerful figure in the UK wants to touch me, he must ensure that his family is completely innocent. Whenever there is something shady, it will be reported in the newspapers the next day.

This is my guarantee to you, and this represents my credibility.

As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I guarantee that when you retire, you will save money that will last for several lifetimes. "

If you listen to the voice, the old Murdoch's words can be interpreted as if you don't want to cooperate with me, I can destroy you at any time.

After listening to the words of the old Murdoch, Beckham asked thoughtfully: "If I adjust my goal to become the controller of Manchester United, is this a career that can be fought for life?"

Old Murdoch showed a rare smile, he felt that this kid was finally hooked: "David, I am very happy to see your transformation, few people at this age can recognize this, I think this is your inner voice.

But I want to tell you that most of this idea comes from your perceptual knowledge.

Last year was the best opportunity to acquire a team like Manchester United.Acquiring a club like Manchester United will become more and more expensive over time.

With the same money, I can completely turn a mid-lower Premier League club into a strong team with advanced facilities and star-studded players.

In front of Jin Yuan, all traditions are bullshit!

Why stay at one club?Why limit your life to football?Why would you put these shitty limits on yourself? "

Old Murdoch's expression gradually became impassioned, his behavior gradually became rude, and a few swear words were often mixed in his speech, which seemed out of place with this high-end French restaurant.

Perhaps it was because he had found out the details of the old man in advance, or maybe he was immune to the old man's tricks, Beckham found that the dizziness mixed with the feeling of being above his head was slowly fading away.

He slowly cleared his mind, and asked another question: "You have been fighting for your career all your life, what is it for so many years?"

The old Murdoch showed a slightly contemptuous expression: "This is a stupid question. A man should work hard to earn wealth for himself. As long as you have wealth, you can get the woman you want at any time. You can gradually gain power. Wealth is the most lethal weapon for human beings."

Hearing this, Beckham smiled, the old man was lying.

For a person to be able to openly tell the reasons for being shameless, it can only show that he has a bigger secret in his heart.

Many people would put on a disguise when encountering such a problem, but the old Murdoch seemed magnanimous in this way.

Such words may be able to bluff people all over the world, but only Beckham cannot be fooled

"Rupert, please allow me to express my opinion."

Beckham smiled and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue before continuing: "These may have been your goals at some point in your life, but not now."

Old Murdoch raised his head and laughed loudly: "Haha, young man, let me hear your opinion."

Beckham recalled the scene when he fooled Giggs at that time, and said unhurriedly: "I think all the efforts you have made in recent years are to prove to the world the traces of your existence."

The old Murdoch smiled perfunctorily, still talking and laughing happily, but Beckham always felt that he seemed a little unnatural for a moment.

After a few minutes, the old Murdoch suddenly remembered a task, and asked James Murdoch to implement it as soon as possible: "I will leave at eight o'clock in the evening. I hope that this shitty matter will be settled before I leave."

James Murdoch left in a hurry, and only Beckham and old Murdoch were left in the room.

The old Murdoch said indifferently: "David, tell me why you thought that way just now. Yes, you want to prove the existence of traces to the world. This statement is very interesting."

Now it was Beckham's turn to be the magic stick. He felt that the old Murdoch was very concerned about what he said just now, so he continued the rhythm just now and said: "The reason why I think so is because you have passed the age of proving yourself with wealth. You want to leave your mark in your not-so-long life and let the world remember you.

In the long river of time, maybe your existence is only for a moment, but the trace you leave to the world can move forward with time and convey your will to the world.”

After listening to Beckham's words, the old Murdoch laughed heartily, without caring about his image.

In Beckham's view, this is the first time the old Murdoch smiled from the heart.

In the following time, the dinner became extremely relaxed.

Although there were only two people in the room, the laughter never stopped.

The old Murdoch talked about his childhood: "The new newspaper emits a strong smell of ink, the printing press makes a rumbling sound, and the atmosphere in the whole newspaper office is highly tense. I can walk around at will and always find new things. This feeling is wonderful."

"It took a lot of effort for my father to persuade me to go home, and every time I got home, I would show off my experience to my sisters."

"On the weekends, I like to lie on my father's bed and watch him read the newspaper carefully, mark it, and evaluate the article."

"I think people have a premonition when they leave. My father started to take care of the family's life a year before he left. He prepared for a year, but in the end it was still too late to say goodbye to us."

At the end of the meeting, the old Murdoch said: "Alex is trustworthy, and your American agent is also good. Come on, David!"

When the two separated, the old Murdoch said to himself with emotion: "Life is really full of miracles."

He never expected that a young man who met for the first time could understand his state of mind, and he was happy that he finally met the same kind.
