Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 18 Giving Up and Gaining

When Mark told Jack that there was a mercenary code-named "Yin Yang" willing to accept his employment, Jack knew it was time for a showdown.

Jack hastily booked two tickets to Boston, and flew back to the Murdoch family's lair together with Mark.

……

Boston is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts, and the largest city in New England in the northeast of the United States. This city is of great significance in the history of the United States. However, in modern times, the shift of the political and economic center has made it gradually lose its light. , but the profound background makes it unable to let go of the inner arrogance.

Just like the Murdoch family.

The Murdochs were Boston's first immigrant families.Although Murdoch started in the news newspaper industry in his early years, today's Murdoch is already a giant group spanning a series of industries such as news, oil exploration and film production.

As the eldest son of the third generation of the Murdoch family, Jack has the qualifications of the second heir, but he unexpectedly chose to go into politics after graduation, which disappointed his father John and grandfather Edward.After Jack left for New York, the Murdoch family cut off his financial aid.

Exiting the station, Jack saw a very beautiful young woman waving flowers from a distance.

Jack walked a few steps quickly, came to the beautiful young woman and took the flowers, then greeted with a smile,

"Jenny, long time no see!"

It was Jack's stepmother, Jenny Murdoch, who came.

"My boy, I'm finally willing to come back!" Jenny pulled Jack with one hand and gave him a big hug.

The two walked out of the airport while gossiping, and Mark behind him was obviously ignored once.

It wasn't until she got into the Lincoln car that Jenny straightened her face and asked in a deep voice, "Jack, did you admit your mistake to your grandfather and father when you came back this time?"

Although it's weird, stepmother Jenny has always been the biggest supporter of Jack's succession to the Murdoch Group. Even if Jack fled to New York, Jenny's heart did not change.

But Jack was destined to disappoint Jenny, he dared not look into Jenny's eyes, and replied in a low voice,

"No, I plan to make a deal with John. I voluntarily give up the inheritance rights of the Murdoch family in exchange for some cash and the independent management rights of the Daily Horn and The New York Times."

Jenny pulled Jack's shoulder with one hand and exclaimed, "You're crazy, don't you know the overall value of the Murdoch family?"

"I know, but neither the family nor the U.S. Congress will allow the heir of a super-large group to become the real power administrator of the United States."

"You still want to be president?" Jenny said with a look of resentment, "Don't forget that the president also needs the support of the Murdoch family!"

Jack knew that he had no way to convince Jenny without revealing the future, so he had no choice but to play the family card, "Jenny, you know my dream since I was a child was to be the president. To me, wealth or power has no meaning, only dreams only!"

To convince Jenny, Jack doesn't mind being Versailles himself.

But if Jenny was that easy to convince, she wouldn't be the number one witch in the East Coast media.

So Jack still has a long way to go.The words were not speculative, and the two fell into a long silence.

And the car roared towards Murdoch Manor.

The Murdoch family's manor is very old-fashioned. Since the manor was built in 1945, Edward Murdoch has not allowed any novelties to approach the manor, which makes the manor look very old as a whole.

When Jack was a child, he used to think that his timidity was caused by living in this house for too long.

In the family, only Jack's grandfather Edward, father John, stepmother Jenny and Jenny's younger brother Henry live in this manor, and other family members are working or studying in other places.

Because there are a large number of servants and security guards, the manor is not so deserted.

Jack came back with a purpose this time. After playing with his three-year-old brother Henry for a while, he went straight to his father's office.

John Murdoch, a very ordinary name.

But Jack knows the energy of his handsome father. At least for now, John is the only one with influence in Washington. He can call the president's private phone at any time to discuss a certain bill with the president.

If Edward laid the foundation of the Murdoch family, then John accomplished the great cause of the Murdoch family.

In Jack's memory, neither he nor his stupid second brother Harvey are actually John's ideal heirs. In John's eyes, both Jack and Harvey are too mediocre.

Taking a deep breath, Jack knocked on John's office door.

"come in!"

A majestic voice came.

Jack pushed open the door, and his handsome father was sitting in front of the familiar mahogany desk.

"Have you made a decision?" John asked directly without greeting or caring.

"I have decided that I will give up the inheritance rights of the Murdoch family in exchange for 20 billion US dollars in cash and the independent management rights of the Daily Bugle and the New York Times." Jack stabilized his spirit and replied firmly.

"The New York Times cannot give it to you. It is an important node in the future development of the Murdoch family. In order to make up for it, I will give you [-]% of the shares of Stark Industries."

Stark Industries stock?

This was an unexpected joy for Jack. Being able to board Stark's big ship will be of great help to his future, but thinking of Tony Stark's bad character, Jack's teeth itch!
"I also want Mark to come and help me." Jack held back the joy in his heart and continued to bargain with John.

"As long as Mark doesn't object, you can take him away." John didn't show any expression, he took out a business card from the drawer as he said, "If you want to make a difference in politics, contact this person, but I don't guarantee that he will will join your cause."

Jack took the card, which had only one name on it - Raymond Javier.

Who is this person?

The person who can be recommended and emphasized by John is definitely not an ordinary person, Jack carefully put away the business card.

John continued: "I'll let the lawyer follow up with the agreement. So, goodbye, Mr. Jack!"

Jack had expected John's attitude a long time ago, but when this moment came, he still felt reluctant. From then on, he was no longer a member of the Murdoch family.

"Goodbye, Mr. John."

After walking out of the office, Jack stood on the corridor, tears falling silently.

For Mr. John who has always regarded everything as a transaction, is family affection really not worth mentioning?

Jack stood outside the office door for a long time, and just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice came from inside the door,

"Don't live up to the Murdoch name, my son."

Well, maybe he wasn't so hard-hearted either.

Because Grandpa Edward already had Alzheimer's, Jack went straight to Jenny's office after talking to him.

Although Jenny looks beautiful and makes people think that she is like a vase, she is not a vase.

She leaned on the sofa, staring straight at Jack, with a slender cigarette in her finger.

"I will do my best to help you." Jenny first explained her position, and then continued, "But I don't have many friends in the political circle. If you need funds to run for president in the future, I can help you Very busy."

"That was a long time ago."

Accidentally obtained the shares of Stark Industries, which made Jack very happy but at the same time worried, he walked to the sofa but did not sit down,
"Jenny, has Stark Industries made any moves recently? John gave me some shares of Stark Industries."

Jenny replied without thinking, "Does it count that Tony hooked up with two Playboy cover models again?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Jenny seemed to wake up and said, "There were rumors before that Tony was not satisfied with Los Angeles, and privately proposed to transfer the head office to another city many times."

Jack suddenly realized that Tony's next stop was likely to go to New York.
