In real life, it is indeed not easy to achieve a class breakthrough.
Some people rely on hard study and academic qualifications to achieve class jumps, but others are relatively lucky to achieve life counterattack by marriage.
A girl from the most ordinary family in China is married to a foreigner, who is still a world media tycoon with a lot of money.
Through this marriage, she broke into the global high society and became a "world-class noblewoman" sitting on fame, career and wealth, which made people envious.
She is —Wendi Deng.
Someone once commented on her: "It's like a bow full of strings, clanging." ”
There are even harsh and ugly words to describe her as "fishing for women", "ambitious" and "relying on men to ascend to power".
But it is undeniable that Deng Wendi has indeed gained a good life and a height of life that ordinary people can hardly reach, and has become a legend.
Let's take a look at how she did it.
Coming from an ordinary background, but ambitious
In 1968, Deng Wendi was born in an ordinary family in Jinan, Shandong, his father was the director of a machinery factory, and his mother was an engineer.
Parents are intellectuals, naturally attach great importance to their children's education, Deng Wendi from an early age is also very hard to learn.
In 1985, at the age of 17, Deng Wendi was admitted to the Department of Clinical Medicine of Guangzhou Medical College, but after enrolling, she found that she was not interested in boring medical knowledge.
At that time, the state supported study abroad, and many young people joined the wave of "going abroad fever", and Deng Wendi also surged in his heart.
"I'm going to go abroad, I'm going to live well, make a lot of money, and be a successful person."
Without a high education, no excellent material foundation at home, and no background in studying abroad, Deng Wendi's idea of studying abroad is simply "whimsical" in the eyes of his parents and people around him.
However, Wendi Deng didn't just think about it. She has the ambition to "think" and has the courage to "do".
She knew that the first step in studying abroad was to learn English well, so she immediately took action.
Every day, when it was not dawn and the other students were still asleep, she went to the playground alone to memorize words.
She also met a couple from California, Jack Cherry and his wife.
Wendi Deng, 19, has the enthusiasm of Westerners, which makes Mrs. Cherry see her as she is.
Not only was he willing to act as her speaking teacher, but he even helped Wendi Deng get a student visa to study at a community college at California State University, and also pledged to fund her study expenses.
I have to say that Deng Wendi is indeed very lucky to meet kind people.
But Deng Wendi also knows that the help of others is only a stepping stone for her to enter the United States, and if she wants to stay in the United States, she must rely on her own ability.
Serving plates and miscellaneous work, Deng Wendi supported himself by part-time work while planning how to get a green card as soon as possible and obtain the status of residence in the United States.
Soon, she extended the "tentacles" of desire to the family that had helped her.
Wendi Deng and Mr. Jack's underground love affair was discovered by Mrs. Cherry, and the 22-year-old Deng Wendi had no scruples about marrying Mr. Jack, 53.
But the marriage lasted only 2 years and 7 months before it came to an end, which was only 7 months longer than it took for Wendi Deng to get a U.S. green card.
Improve yourself and keep getting closer to the upper class
Deng Wendi is like a sniper who knows exactly what he wants, and he is attacking the target step by step.
She knows that if she wants to contact excellent high-class people, first of all, her own thoughts and conversations must be worthy of each other, so she still has to improve herself.
So, she applied for an MBA at Yale University, which was a "ticket" to meet outstanding people.
After the gilding, Deng Wendi's conversation and knowledge are more charming, coupled with tall, humorous and funny, quite a professional woman's style.
After graduating in 1996, she paid a lot of money to buy a first-class ticket to Hong Kong. Just because first class is mostly rich people, it's a great opportunity to meet the rich.
Maybe it was Heaven's intention to fulfill it, and everything was expected by her.
On the plane, Wendi Deng happened to be sitting next to Bruce Churchill, a director of Murdoch News Group.
She could not let go of this good opportunity, extroverted personality, excellent expression and communication skills, the beauty of the fusion of East and West, Deng Wendi deeply touched Bruce Churchill.
In just a short journey, Deng Wendi actually "magically" got the quota of interns of Star Group.
This is simply "incredible" to outsiders, but Deng Wendi did it.
After entering the company, Deng Wendi continued to infect everyone with her enthusiasm, liveliness and self-confidence.
At Star Headquarters, there is a pivotal figure – Brand, the head of the advertising department.
Brand has an eccentric personality and always wears a ponytail, which many employees avoid.
But Deng Wendi just joined the company, and even in public, dragging Brand's pigtails to take the initiative to greet and introduce himself: "I am Wendi, the new intern!" ”
At this point, Brand deeply remembers this different Chinese girl, and has become the "Bole" who helps her leap towards ambition.
With Brand's help, Wendi Deng thrived in the workplace and got closer to her target, News Corp. Chairman and CEO Murdoch.
From personal secretary, to the upper position as wife
Wendi Deng has excellent bilingual communication skills in Chinese and English, and has gained the reputation of "Asian diplomat" at News Corp., which has also saved chips for her and Murdoch to meet the area.
In 1997, in order to understand the Chinese market, Murdoch participated in the group meeting in Hong Kong, and Wendi Deng was also invited to participate as the head of the Chinese mainland district.
She was overjoyed, and had been looking forward to "approaching" Murdoch, and this opportunity finally came.
In the face of the big boss, Deng Wendi was not afraid, walked to Murdoch's side, and handed him a business book.
"Fresh, fearless and full of charming confidence", Wendi Deng impressed Murdoch.
Later, Murdoch was going from Japan to Shanghai, needing a personal Chinese translator, deng Wendi was "logically" recommended to Murdoch as a translator.
Next, Murdoch spent almost all his time in China with Deng Wendi.
For Murdoch, Deng Wendi is a pleasant and uniquely attractive woman, murdoch is deeply attracted to and launches the pursuit of Deng Wendi.
At this time, Murdoch had a wife Anna who had accompanied him for thirty-two years, and the two met in the murdoch entrepreneurial period, experienced ups and downs, and had three children.
However, all this was forgotten by Murdoch, who divorced Anna for the woman who made him feel "at least thirty years younger".
And Deng Wendi also did not care about the age difference between the two people of nearly forty years, even if the other party suffered from diseases and had no fertility, Deng Wendi did not care, she cared more about whether she could become Murdoch's wife.
In 1999, just 17 days after Murdoch and Anna divorced, Wendi Deng, 31, married Murdoch, 68, and the two married a lavish wedding on a private yacht in New York Harbor.
Undoubtedly, Deng Wendi finally realized her wish and officially opened the new life she dreamed of.
Build your own social landscape and start a whole new life
Living in a mansion, riding a private plane and a private yacht, enjoying the thoughtful service of the maid, after marrying Murdoch, Deng Wendi lived a glamorous and beautiful "rich" life as desired.
Not only in life, but also in terms of personal vision, Murdoch also brought Deng Wendi a broader new world.
"He'll talk to me about the British economy, the global environment, the price of oil, the next election in the United States, and so on."
But Wendi Deng is not willing to be a "Murdoch wife", her ambition is even greater, and she wants to use Murdoch's social status and connections to expand her circle and pave the way for her career.
She became friends with Ivanka, the daughter of Donald Trump, the daughter of U.S. real estate mogul, and big-name stars such as Liu Wen, Su Mang, Zhang Ziyi, and Liu Jialing were also in her social map.
It can be said that in the fashion industry and the entertainment industry, Deng Wendi occupies a place, and she has started her own business investment with these resources.
In 2013, the domestic film and television industry rose strongly, Deng Wendi saw the business opportunities and returned to China with a net worth of 20 billion yuan to set up a company.
She also found popular star Li Bingbing as the protagonist of her investment movie "Snowflake Secret Fan".
It turns out that Wendi Deng does have business acumen, and the film she invested in that year achieved a good box office, and she also invested in technology companies, the most famous of which is Facebook, which made a lot of money.
Relying on his marriage to Murdoch, Wendi Deng made famous women, made movies, and made investments, achieving a class transition from an ordinary girl to a rich woman in the world.
The marriage broke down and a huge amount of property was divided
When he first married Murdoch, many people bluntly said that Deng Wendi was for wealth.
Even Murdoch's ex-wife Anna, when she agreed to divorce, made the condition that "if Wendi Deng did not give birth to children for Murdoch, he would not have the right to inherit any of Murdoch's estates." ”
But Deng Wendi, who has always been wise, of course, will not let herself be in a position of defeat, and she has left a back road for herself long ago.
After getting married, she quickly used Murdoch's previously refrigerated sperm for IVF, giving Murdoch two daughters, and also as a chip in her marriage.
In the eyes of the outside world, although Wendi Deng's identity and status do not match Murdoch, she is young and beautiful and intellectually elegant, relying on her own appearance, becoming the façade and spokesperson of the Murdoch Group, playing her role and value, and taking what she needs in this marriage.
However, in 2011, Murdoch was called upon by the British Parliament for information surveillance, during which a radical opposition activist suddenly burst out and wanted to attack Murdoch.
At the moment of the first shot, Deng Wendi jumped up and slapped the attacker fiercely. Although this move protected her husband, it also made Deng Wendi crowned the title of "Tiger Wife" by the media.
Subsequently, someone broke the news that Deng Wendi was also very strong in marriage, and even hit Murdoch.
The so-called clean officials are difficult to judge family affairs, and we do not know the truth.
As a result, in June 2013, Murdoch formally filed for divorce, and the marriage fell apart after 14 years.
Although they did not have the title of rich wife, Deng Wendi and his two daughters were given a three-story penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, as well as a $100 million quadrangle on the east side of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
With this marriage, Deng Wendi became a famous big man, and also divided murdoch's countless possessions, becoming the envy of countless people in life.
After the divorce, Deng Wendi was not depressed, and his life was still live a good life.
Photographed walking on the beach with young male models, her figure and appearance are quite attractive women's charm.
She also relied on the accumulated connections and wealth to successfully train her two daughters to become famous women.
Although the marital relationship with Murdoch was broken, the daughter's father-daughter relationship with her father was still there. Therefore, she often takes her daughter to reunite with the Murdoch family to increase the exposure for herself.
It can be said that after the divorce, Deng Wendi is still strategizing and mixing in the fashion circle and Vanity Fair.
In Chinese traditional values, there is some disdain for someone like Wendi Deng who writes both desire and ambition on her face, but it is undeniable that everyone will envy her resources and wealth.
I have to say that Deng Wendi is still very brainy and wise, she knows what she wants, and knows how to achieve it step by step.
It may be difficult for us ordinary people to have the opportunity of Deng Wendi, but everyone can get the motivation to stand on their own feet and chase after the life they want.
