还在飞往悉尼的班机上,他就听到一位上海籍老板对他说道:“……我在澳洲多年了,从没有亲眼看见默多克先生。在澳洲,要想见总理霍华德容易——因为他不敢得罪选民,但要与驰名世界的‘传媒大亨’默多克先生见面,无异于天方夜谭。”到了悉尼,他为求得一份聊以糊口的简单工作到处碰壁,哪儿还有心思去幻想“自己有一天会踏进那座高不可攀的红色砖楼,成为新闻公司总部的第一名华裔职员呢”。 On the flight to Sydney, he heard a Shanghai boss say to him: “... I have been in Australia for many years, and I have never seen Mr. Murdoch personally. In Australia, it is easy to see Prime Minister Howard. Because he did not dare to offend the voters, meeting Mr. Murdoch, the ’media mogul’ of the world-famous, was tantamount to a fantasy.’ When he arrived in Sydney, he was hitting a wall with a simple job to get a living. There is also a desire to imagine that ”I will step into the unattainable red brick building one day and become the first Chinese employee of the news company headquarters."
