Chapter 2073 Never give up
Ellison looked energetic. Although Lydia looked indifferent and obviously didn't like him very much, but since she was willing to put forward conditions, that would be fine. That means there is still a chance! Ellison, this is the opportunity he wants.
"What three things?" Ellison asked, unable to hide his excitement.
"The first thing is to help my father defeat the Pulitzer family, become a newspaper tycoon in the United States, and fulfill my great-grandfather's last wish." Lydia spoke firmly, obviously having deep resentment against the Pulitzer family.
Lin Feng also knew a little about the feud between the Hearst family and the Pulitzer family. When William Hearst founded the Hearst Corporation, he was in conflict with the Pulitzer family, who were also newspaper tycoons.
He wanted to overwhelm the Pulitzer family all his life. Unfortunately, due to several big mistakes he made in succession (supporting Germany in World War I, etc.), the Hearst family has been suppressed by the Pulitzer family. Later, Pa.
The Pulitzer family spared no effort to report the Hearst kidnapping case, which caused the Hearst family to lose face. Up to now, the competition between the younger generations of both parties is extremely fierce. Whenever young people from the two families meet,
There was always a fight, and each time it ended with the Pulitzer family winning.
One can imagine the resentment that the Hearst family members feel towards the Pulitzer family, which has suppressed their own family for their entire lives.
"Okay, I will definitely do this." Ellison naturally understood that his old friend had a grudge against the Pulitzer family. He was powerless before, but now that he is capable, it is natural for him to help. Although this may be
It will involve the grudges between two wealthy families, but for the sake of his long-time friends and the woman he loves, Ellison will not hesitate.
"The second thing is to help me find all the information and remnants of 'sla'!" Lydia's tone was full of hatred.
If "SLA" hadn't kidnapped her mother, Patty Hearst, the family would not have caused so many scandals and become a joke in the upper class. It cannot be washed away to this day, and it has become an eternal shame for the Hearst family.
"Lydia, haven't all these 'sla' been wiped out?" Ellison asked in surprise.
"Are you going to check or not?" Lydia snorted coldly.
"Check, of course!" Ellison agreed quickly. Compared to the first condition, this was a piece of cake. With his connections and financial resources, it was not difficult to find out all the information about "sla".
"The third thing is that after you die, I hope that in your will you can donate at least half of your wealth to Africa to help poor children in Africa." Lydia said.
Lin Feng was slightly surprised. In Lin Feng's opinion, the first two conditions couldn't be simpler. Originally, if Ellison became the son-in-law of the Hearst family and helped his father-in-law deal with centuries-old enemies, this was what he should have done.
It is even more appropriate to check "sla", and these two points are not difficult. At least for Ellison, it is not difficult. What's more, with his own help, it is not difficult. But the third thing, then
It's a bit troublesome.
If Avril had told him that she would donate half of her assets to help alleviate poverty in Africa before she would be with her, would she be willing? - Lin Feng asked himself, I'm afraid not. This is half of his assets, so it costs hundreds of billions of dollars.
.If it is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, Lin Feng doesn't care. Half of the assets are exchanged for another woman. Although he loves her very much, it may be difficult for Lin Feng to do it. At least, Lin Feng cannot give an answer immediately now.
"Haha, there's no problem with that. I can modify my will now!" Ellison laughed and agreed immediately.
Lin Feng's eyes widened. Could Ellison really have this plan? Half of his assets, according to Ellison's current net worth, exceeds 20 billion U.S. dollars. 20 billion U.S. dollars is like this
It is too generous to give it to Africa.
Lydia didn't believe it either. She didn't believe Ellison would be so generous.
"Haha, my previous will was to use half of my own property to create an Ellison fund to help athletes suffering from sports diseases return to the competition, and the other half was to be left to my future significant other. Now
Just modify it a little bit," Ellison explained with a smile.
Admired! Looking at Ellison's clear eyes, Lin Feng knew that Ellison was not lying or cheating. And at this moment, Lin Feng remembered that Ellison also has a title in the United States - the most generous wealthy philanthropist. He
Direct donations to charity have reached hundreds of millions of dollars. Although he is usually crazy, he is always very serious when it comes to doing good deeds. He will spend one month every year to do good deeds.
Lydia stared at Ellison, her cold eyes loosened slightly. She knew that Ellison did not lie to deceive her, but truly meant what he said. Although such a daring man is a bit older, he
Very masculine indeed.
"When you do these three things, I will accept your date invitation. But before that, I hope you will stop harassing me. Of course, in exchange, I will not go out on a date with any man before you give up."
." Lydia promised.
"Lydia, don't worry, I will definitely complete these three goals within three months. Now, beautiful Miss Lydia, I will take my leave for the time being. See you again in three months!" Ellison said in a graceful manner.
He stood up gracefully and bowed to Lidia in an extremely gentlemanly manner.
Lin Feng also quickly stood up.
"Mr. Hurst, regarding our cooperation, I want to discuss it in two days, so I will take my leave today." Lin Feng bowed and left with Ellison.
Looking at Lin Feng's retreating back, Hester frowned slightly. Was this Lin Feng putting pressure on him? Putting aside these thoughts, Hester quickly pulled Lydia into the study.
"Lydia, what's going on with you? I said, you don't need to bear the grievances of our family. And you don't need to bear the grievances of your mother either." Austin said hurriedly.
"Father, you and Ellison have been friends for many years. Don't you think that apart from his age, he is actually a very attractive person?" Lydia said suddenly.
The process of interacting with Ellison over the years came to Hester's mind. He had to admit that Ellison was a very passionate and driven person. Even though he was now 60 years old, he was still full of enthusiasm.
There is a passion that no 20-year-old young man has. And aside from his sometimes ridiculous and exaggerated remarks, he is indeed very charming.
"Wait a minute, are you really attracted to this old man? Oh, my God, daughter, he is already 60 and you are only 21. Ten years later, he will be 70 and you will only be 31. Twenty years from now
, he is too old to walk. You are only 41 years old. You are still in your prime, but he is getting old. At that time, it is not him who takes care of you, but you who take care of him. When he dies, you
You are getting old, are you going to be alone all your life? No, I will never allow this!" Austin yelled.
"Father, don't get excited. I'm not attracted to him, I just have a little appreciation for him. As for these three conditions, they are one of the tests. Ever since I was sensible, I have sworn that my fiancé must complete these three conditions.
If Ellison can fulfill these three conditions, then I will consider dating him. Father, we are just dating, not marrying him," Lydia explained.
explain.
After hearing what Lydia said, Austin calmed down.
"Daughter, you must think more carefully. In short, you don't have to bear the grievances of this family. You only need to be able to find your own happiness. I will handle the rest." Austin held on gently.
Lydia shoulders.
As the daughter of himself and Patty, it is imaginable that Lydia is under great pressure. Fortunately, she is outstanding enough to make most of the socialites jealous. This is the only thing that Austin is proud of.
.
At this time, on the other side.
"Ellison, have you really decided to do this?" Lin Feng asked in disbelief.
"Well, I have decided. I must complete these three goals within three months." Ellison said firmly, "As you know, I am already 60 and not young anymore, so I must seize all the time. This
Throughout my life, I was successful in my career, but failed in love. I told my ex-wife that I would become a millionaire, but she didn’t believe it and left me. So, I will do whatever it takes this time
.Even if it’s just an opportunity, I will never give up.”
Lin Feng can feel Ellison's desire for love. He can also feel the despair and self-denial when his wife left him. It can be said that if a person is not strong-minded enough, he may have sunk long ago. Now,
I don’t know where he spends his life working a nine-to-five job, and then gets by with a pitiful pension. But Ellison, after suffering many blows, was still able to stand up and became one of the richest people on the planet.
one.
He is a role model, a role model for all "diaosi"!
"Well, in that case, I will definitely support you." Lin Feng patted Ellison on the shoulder. This is his brother's choice, so he will definitely support it to the end.
"Haha, thank you very much. With your help, I think we can accomplish these three goals in less than three months." Ellison laughed.
"Of course, the two of us have joined forces, and the Pulitzer family is not taken seriously by us." Lin Feng said confidently.
Although the Pulitzer family is also one of the most powerful families in the United States, there are also hierarchies among this powerful family. The Pulitzer family is only ranked in the middle or lower among the rich families in the United States. The entire family's wealth is only 15 billion US dollars.
