Chicago 1990

The first thousand four hundred and twenty chapters are impossible to share adversity

“Last year’s acquisition of Seagram Global brought us too many problems, management, financial, legal... I’m not saying that this business is not worth doing. Everyone has seen the value of Seagram’s wine industry. , It was sold separately from Seagram Universal Group at a good price, which greatly eased the pressure on cash flow for us...'

In Beverly Hills, the actor, 20 million club member, and top actor Nicholas Cage is holding a celebration party for him to take over the hero of the Wolf of Wall Street, but the big boss Song Ya who came as a guest is all on the TV screen. Vivendi Global CEO Messier.

As Vivendi Global’s annual report disclosed a huge loss of more than 13 billion euros last year, the company’s share price plummeted again, and Messier stepped up to hold a press conference to fight the fire and dump the pot. “Our next fiscal year can finally be light-packed. I have entered the battle, and now my main focus will be on integrating Vivendi Global’s global media and continuing to solve the historical problems of Seagram Universal Group. I’m honored to announce that Vivendi Global has joined the US TV Network. Shareholders have reached an agreement on the terms of the repurchase..."

8.6 billion, Vivendi Global announced in the disclosure of the annual report that it chose to implement the repurchase agreement signed with Barry Diller before the Bronfman in early 2001. Messier is equivalent to selling the Seagram wine industry. The cash was exchanged for the U.S. TV network and eliminated a major hidden danger for the company, because the U.S. TV network shareholders Barry Diller and John Malone have been accelerating the expansion of the U.S. TV network, early in the end of 2002 before the repurchase deadline. One day of execution, Vivendi Global will be able to pay less.

A big stone fell, and Barry Diller stepped into the ranks of billionaires with this transaction. After being defeated by Redstone twice in a row, he finally relied on the generosity of the young Bronfman.

"Wow..." the other spectators behind Song Ya exclaimed.

"What's this? How much did it cost Barry Diller to get the U.S. TV network from Edgar as a child?"

David Geffin next to Song Ya was very upset when Barry Diller took such a big bite of fat, turned his head and asked his subordinates behind him, "More than four billion?"

"Two times, a total of 4.5 billion. Barry Diller manages the TV network well, the market share and ratings have risen, coupled with continuous mergers and acquisitions..."

The subordinate replied: "8.6 billion... minus 1 billion should be more reasonable. The reaction of the capital market also shows that everyone thinks this transaction is a loss."

"Hehe, Messier can't help it, he must wipe Edgar's ass..."

There were people waiting, and David Geffen was inconvenient to spray on the spot, so he had to say sourly: "Barry Diller is really lucky, little Edgar was touched by him."

Although revenge is great, the relationship between himself and the Bronfman family was stronger than that of Barry Diller, and the money leaked from the fingers of the three generations of riches was more and more secure. Who knew that the crazy suddenly decided to drive him out? David Geffen was unavoidable when he thought of this.

At this time, everyone realized that Song Ya had made a bankruptcy bet with the little Bronfman, and Vivendi Global plummeted again. Wouldn’t the little Bronfman’s net worth have shrunk again? Including David Geffen, his gaze floated towards the black pharaoh beside him subconsciously.

Song Ya noticed from the corner of her eyes that everyone was quietly looking at her, and Charis, who was holding her arm, was pressing closer, but she couldn't respond. She continued to stare at the TV screen indifferently and diverted the topic: "US TV network... John Malone has more shares and made a lot of money, right?"

"of course."

David Geffen replied, and then turned to gloat, "But John Malone is in trouble. After ATandT was merged with the TCI company he managed, the management and shareholders began to rebel at the beginning of the year and wanted to drive him away."

"It's all because of the stock market crash, and everyone's life is not easy." The president of Disney Copyright, Linton, who was promoted to serve as vice president of Disney Group at the beginning of the year, came over to join the discussion.

The New York stock market has come out of the downturn in the foreseeable future. Of course, the new George Jr. government also wants to save it. It has resorted to major moves such as interest rate cuts and extension of the Internet tax exemption period, but none of them can restore the confidence of investors.

We share difficulties with wealth and wealth. Seeing that the stock market has recovered for a while, all listed companies have started to have problems. Not only ATandT and TCI, but also AOL and Time Warner, which have also been combined recently, are also fighting each other, and the trouble is even worse.

Because of the high market value of AOL when it acquired Time Warner, the boss Steve Case naturally took control of the new company after the merger. However, as Internet companies such as AOL were punctured by the stock market crash, Time Warner naturally felt that this business was too great. It was a loss, so I wanted to reveal AOL's "repentance of marriage" by exposing financial fraud before the merger. AOL was not to be outdone. In turn, it also accused Time Warner Group of financial fraud. Both parties will soon confront Bo.

Jim Clark, an old friend who followed Netscape into AOL, is now following Steve Case.

Affected by this, Time Warner Group’s internal popularity has floated, so it has attracted Disney, an external enemy, whether it is in Hollywood’s Disney and Warner Departments, the second-tier leader of the recording industry, Disney Records and the top five end Warner Records, or ABC and Warner TV. , The two companies have a very high degree of overlap in their business scopes, and fierce full-scale competition will follow.

But Disney’s internal stability is not stable. Emperor Eisner’s large investment in Internet companies such as Infoseek in recent years has become a joke with the stock market crash. Also, the just-disclosed annual report shows that Eisner’s own shareholding has surpassed that of the Disney family for the first time. Roy, officially became the largest individual shareholder, incurred a lot of dissatisfaction with other shareholders including Roy Disney.

"I heard that your company will soon be renamed Eisner Group?"

David Geffen smiled and joked when he saw Linton.

The emperor, who has worked for many years and finally suppressed his main house, seems to have a bit of meaning in this regard. He is trying to test it out through the media. This is no secret in the well-informed Hollywood.

One can imagine how angry Roy Dinis is now.

"Ha ha…"

Linton didn't dare to take the trouble, and accompanied by the laughter of the crowd twice.

Song Ya didn't want to put the hard-core ally Linton in an awkward position, so he winked at Hayden, who was holding the remote control, and Hayden knew how to change the channel.

‘Kynikos hedge fund owner James Chanos suddenly issued a short-selling report, targeting the energy giant Enron...’

'The report questioned Enron's profitability and investment return rate as insufficient to support the current stock price. At the same time, it proved that Enron CEO Skilling ostensibly stated publicly that Enron’s stock price would rise at $120, but secretly it has always been. Illegal cash out of the stock in hand...'

The news of CNBC really diverted everyone's attention from Disney. Enron is a multinational giant, and it is true that the Kynikos hedge fund owner James Chanos who released the short-selling report this time is not small. In 1982, when he was only a small securities broker, he used a piece of research report to kill the Baldwin-United Insurance Company, creating the largest bankruptcy case in history with a scale of nine billion dollars.

And like his fellow hunter Ross, James Chanos is also very good at using the media after he founded the Kynikos hedge fund. He has become more and more powerful when he dares to openly attack the giants and he must have a basis.

"Wolf of Wall Street author Jordan Belfort's friend, Milken, the king of junk bonds, was also James Chanos sent to jail?" David Geffen asked.

"Isn't it? James Chanos was the first to publicly short Milken's Dachson Securities in 1984, but Milken was only jailed in 1990..."

Linton recalled and replied: "But it is also very powerful. Legend has it that Milken's resistance methods in the past few years were very fierce. He even hired private investigators to track, investigate, harass, and threaten James Chanos."

"Oh right..." Linton looked at Song Ya again and reminded, "At the time, James Chanos seemed to be working in Deutsche Bank."

"Ok."

Song Ya nodded slightly and said that he knew. He did not spend his time paying attention to the battle between Enron and Kynikos, which had never been crossed. What he thought was Vivendi Global. After Messier disclosed the huge loss of the last fiscal year, Deutsche Bank Both Addison and Paulson of Goldman Sachs stated that they would continue to be optimistic about Vivendi Global.

Even if it is calculated based on the lowest stock price of Vivendi Global when they and Lehman and Solomon Smith Barney took over last year, if we put it alone... after this wave of huge losses, the strategic investors of Vivendi Global when they went public in the country should at least have a loss on their books. Yes, now I still express my attitude to see more, I am afraid I have to pinch my nose and have to do it, right?

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but gloat a little, so he sneered slightly.

"Hehehe..."

The idlers and others didn't know why the black pharaoh laughed at all, but they all laughed for a while.

David Geffen didn't smile, glanced at the flatterers around his eyes, ashamed of them, "APLUS, I have something to do, let's go first." So he lifted his foot and left.

"Ok."

Song Ya greeted Linton, and put her arm around Charis to send him.

"The stock market crash has caused a mess in the US companies this year. I feel that this is an opportunity for us."

David Geffen whispered as he walked: "In hindsight, you are very decisive in evacuating YAHOO and other companies."

"No, now the media still likes to laugh at me with that thing." Song Ya is modest, the highest point of YAHOO is more than four billion, and it takes less than one billion knives to clear it, and every time he thinks about it, he feels painful.

David Geffen shook his head, "It's already amazing, how much did you spend when you entered the field..."

"Hey! David! APLUS! Charis!"

At this time the owner Nicolas Cage spotted them. The top Hollywood actor who was at home with flip-flops and beach shorts, covered in a nightgown and exposed his bushy chest hair, was drunk loudly holding a bottle in one hand and a glass in one hand. , "Don't...Don't go! Don't you like me here?"

As a member of the Coppola family, he used this surname to express his unwillingness to rely on the family to gain a foothold in Hollywood. At the same time, the Coppola family and famous directors De Palma, Al Pacino and Italians Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pessi have kept a certain distance from the Italian gang of Hollywood, so he is one step farther away from the enemy of the Italian gang in the small book, so Song Ya put the protagonist of the wolf of Wall Street this time To him.

20 million film remuneration plus a certain percentage of the box office share, the treatment is also the best in Hollywood, Nicholas Cage quickly agreed after reading the script.

"I will send David off, not leaving." Song Ya smiled and waved at him.

"Uh, APLUS, it's good to ask him to participate in your movie, but don't ask about his messy private life..." David Geffen reminded in front of the car.

"I won't."

Song Ya smiled and replied: "I'm not familiar with him again, this guy is crazy."

Nicholas Cage is alcoholic and has a very strange aesthetic style. Song Ya looked at his gothic Beverly Hills mansion that he bought for more than ten million and then spent a lot of money to remodel it...

It's not a gothic style, it's not authentic at all, it's more like a blended style with the faith of the undead of the Indian tribes, causing the door of the mansion to be made ghostly.

He is also a big buyer in the Hollywood celebrity collection circle, and he often buys some ancient and weird artworks at a premium. It is estimated that he will give David Geffen money on weekdays.

When Song Ya had just arrived here before, he was taken to admire his collection. After seeing the messy things such as Mexican statues and bird specimens, he kindly hinted that'your interest is very similar to Rembrandt', the Dutch painter Lun Brown is also a big money maker on weird collections, and this interest indirectly led to bankruptcy.

But he didn't seem to hear the hidden meaning in the words, and he was still happy as a compliment.

So Song Ya didn't bother to remind him again. He was really unfamiliar with correctness, and every top male star was a rumbling money printing machine. The interest in collecting was not just about wealth, but just being happy.

"His career has been too smooth for the past ten years. It was not like this before. Keep in touch..." David Geffen said goodbye to the car.

"Come here, come here! APLUS!"

Nicolas Cage is a very enthusiastic person, energetic and mixed with English mixed with Italian ambiguity wow, shouting chase out from the inside, "I will take you to visit..."

Whatever the guest, Song Ya had to turn around and follow him with Charis.

"APLUS... Sir, Miss Theron."

Someone greeted myself from time to time on the way, their expressions and gazes were more respectful than when I went out just now. They lined up like a pilgrim king to shake hands with Song Ya one by one, and then squeezed Charis’s hand and kissed the back of her hand. Finally, the rules were very consistent He took a step back to make way, and said nothing else.

Or is it more like showing your attitude in public?

"what's happenin?"

Many of these people have a high status in Hollywood. Charis, who has stuck to her side from the beginning to the end, has been overwhelmed with vanity. She has never been treated like this in Hollywood. She is satisfied and wondering, and Song Ya is also a little bit satisfied. Doubt, he asked Hayden.

"Just now, CNBC broadcasted another interview with Bacardi Vice Chairman Sam Bronfman accepting reporters. He said that the Bronfman family's acquisition of Universal was a complete tragedy."

Hayden whispered: "CNBC judged that Jr. Bronfman is the stupidest person in the media industry."

That's it.

It seems that everyone knows that the young Bronfman is destined to be a dog in the water and can no longer take back his previous power, especially after Messier newly formed Universal Entertainment Group and took his chairman and CEO of Seagram Universal Group. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Besides, Seagram Universal Group has lost its name after selling the Seagram wine business.

Haha, these guys, have you only seen the situation now? The Revenge of the Three Generations of Face Fu seems to be more like premium aging. As time goes by, the taste has become more and more luscious...

Song Ya continued to maintain an indifferent expression, sullenly in her heart.

"Hayden, come with you too!"

Only Nicholas Cage was interrupted a little impatiently, and yelled, holding Song Ya and Charisy's arms from behind.

"No, I can't today..."

In the evening, the South African diamond was taken by Song Ya into the empty studio. The set is the red room in the original film of Fifty Shades Grey Apocalypse. It is also the same model as the Highland Park created by Song Ya. Some of the props are also real. I still have a scene to be filmed tomorrow, so I can’t leave a trace on my body..."

Charis held Song Ya, who started to play with the camera, begged. She was a hundred willing, but reason finally prevailed.

"I know." Song Yachao snorted in front of today, "So I asked someone to help you."

Only then did Charis discover that Rashida, with a single ponytail, was kneeling over there without a word, and her skin glowed with a healthy, wheat-colored soft light against the backdrop of the red room...

"The smoke rises..."

After fixing the camera, Charisy had changed her outfits, swaying her whip and walking towards Rashida. The black and white were clear and the atmosphere was perfect, but the phone in her trouser pocket rang untimely.

At this time, there are only a few people who will bother me, "What happened?"

"Our U.S. Representative Russell committed suicide with exhaust gas in the car in the garage of his home. The body has just been found."

Sloan said on the other end of the phone.
