Rebirth of England.

"Almighty God, in His mercy, has restored the soul of our beloved John Smith to God, and we have buried his body in the earth...

So that the dust may return to dust, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; we do this because we have the sure hope of the resurrection of the dead to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Then Jesus will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him to subject all things to himself…”

When the coffin carrying John Smith was placed in the grave and gradually buried, the traces of his existence in this world began to gradually disappear.

Jenny was dressed in black, just watching the whole process quietly. At the end, a line of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Barron and Ivanta, both wearing black suits, attended the funeral with expressionless faces.

Perhaps the most heartbroken person here is John Smith's mother. The old woman suddenly fainted just now and was sent to the hospital by John Smith's brother and sister.

"Your Highness, I hope to take a few minutes to talk to you about the Sinclair Group..."

After the funeral, the shareholder representative of the Sinclair Group, the Vanguard Group, walked up to Barron and said respectfully.

"Why? Do you have any other plans now?"

There was a hint of mockery in Barron's words.

"You misunderstood, Your Highness. We are purely doing business and are only trying to help..."

"You may have misunderstood..."

Interrupting the other party, Barron said lightly:

"First, I have already made arrangements for the future of the Sinclair Group. Second, if you want to talk, let McKenna come to me."

After he said this, the security assistant beside Barron blocked the other party.

This place was not suitable for having too much contact with Jenny. After Barron and Ivanta comforted her and other members of the Sinclair family, they left.

On May 5, the group's shareholders meeting was held again at the Sinclair Group's headquarters.

However, due to John Smith's accidental death, the agenda of this shareholders' meeting changed slightly.

At this shareholders' meeting, Jenny Smith was appointed chairman of the Sinclair Group with almost unanimous votes.

As for other management, including the CEO, some candidates have already been identified and are in contact with them, and the final decision will be made later.

Originally, according to the discussion between Barron and Ivanta, this shareholders' meeting would remove John Smith from the position of chairman and have Ivanta temporarily serve as the chairman of Sinclair Group - because she needed to manage IC Capital, she would have handed over the management of the company to professional managers.

Now that Jenny is the chairman, it can be considered a "happy ending" for everyone. At least there won't be much resistance from the Sinclair family.

……

"Your Highness, I don't want a war between us."

"Oh? I thought you had already declared war on me, Mr. McKenna."

Clearly, Barron’s words got through.

When he came to New York, he was invited to attend a cocktail party hosted by some Wall Street capitals, and not surprisingly, at this cocktail party, F. William McKenna III came to Barron's side.

"I don't have such an idea, and I'm afraid I'm not willing to go to war with you..."

McKenna III frowned and said:

"The Sinclair Group incident was just an accident, and we lost more than $2 million on the Gold Trust ETF!"

"That's really unfortunate, but it's normal for international gold prices to rise and fall..."

Hearing Barron's indifferent words, McKenna III looked at him and couldn't help but complain:

“Isn’t DS Group the biggest short seller in the gold market right now?”

"That might also be an accident. After all, we are just following the market trend. It is an investment behavior..."

When the other party used his own words to prevaricate, McKenna III's expression turned ugly.

But soon, he adjusted his mentality:

"Whether you believe it or not, Your Highness, the acquisition of Forum Media Group by Sinclair Group is part of our overall plan. This is not directed at you."

"So it was an accidental injury?"

"It's over, we should all look forward..."

McKenna III had to admit that his previous strategy had gone wrong, so now he had to work hard to remedy the situation:

"We can still push Sinclair Group to acquire Forum Media Group, and this time we will ensure your control over the company..."

Barron also understood that if he had not previously cut off the hand extended by Vanguard Group at Sinclair Group and had the ability to inflict losses on their other investments, Vanguard Group would certainly not be so easy to talk to.

No matter when, the premise that others are willing to "reason" with you is that you really have the "truth" in your hands.

"But the FCC (Federal Communications Commission)..."

"We can work together, and I believe they will understand..."

Just as McKenna III looked at Barron, waiting for his reply, he heard Barron say in a playful tone:

"In fact, you are pushing for the sale of 21st Century Fox. Let me guess who is going to make this acquisition... Disney?"

Hearing Barron's sudden words, McKenna III's pupils shrank instantly. His reaction also made Barron confirm his own and the think tank's guesses.

It seems that as Murdoch gets older, they are indeed beginning to worry about what will happen to the media group he controls if he suddenly dies.

After all, the internal struggle within the Murdoch family is no joke - a considerable part of the content of "Succession" in the original time and space was "inspired" by the struggle among the next generation of the Murdoch family.

Just as Barron saw in his previous life, there are only a few companies that can acquire 21st Century Fox, and the most suitable one is Disney.

As for Tribune Media Group, Disney doesn't need this local sports network, after all, they already have ESPN.

"If necessary, I can provide financing for Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox..."

"This is not confirmed yet, Your Highness. I believe we will contact you if there is a need..."

McKenna III's words also indicate that in this acquisition by Disney, it seems that the interests of all parties have been distributed in a very detailed manner, and the other party is still worried that he will cause trouble.

However, Disney no longer has Marvel, and 21st Century Fox no longer has IPs such as X-Men and Mutants. Barron is really not interested in this...

"If that's the case, then we can talk, but I don't want Vanguard to own more than 10% of Sinclair after the acquisition is completed."
