Chicago 1990

Chapter 1447: Good people are hard to do

"Bowei Pictures likes you very much, and Disney Records. I can handle Touchstone Pictures and Disney Copyright..."

Since Emperor Eisner foreseeably prohibited himself from holding Disney stocks, Song Ya and Linton’s alliance had no influence on the Disney board, so they had to go the way of contacting various businesses. Currently Song Ya’s record and film business and Disney In-depth cooperation, with Metropolis Records of singers such as Jazzy, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Linkin Park, Stupid Punk, FoxyBrown, and Song Ya himself, Fergie and Black Eyed Peas, Mira, Common, Dion Together, the A+ records of singers such as Wilson and other singers are the first name outside of Disney’s own system. In addition to the Blade Warrior series and the Dance Out of My Life series, all new movies of A+ Entertainment have also been handed over to Disney’s live-action film distribution. Published by Shangbowei Pictures.

Linton himself is the president of the copyright company, and then he can exert influence on the touchstone film industry that internally annexed the Hollywood film industry.

In June, the two got together again to "settle the accounts", "Can you fight for Miramax and Dimen Pictures of the Weinstein brothers?" Linton asked.

"Harvey? Didn't he have a chance?" Song Ya asked back.

"No chance, His Majesty the Emperor hates him." Linton shook his head.

"Harvey..."

In addition to this conspiracy rebellion... At least four surnamed domestic slaves are counted. Song Ya is not afraid of creating Eisner's rebellion. It may not be cost-effective. Eisner is kind to himself, and his cold-hearted emperor's character will be absolutely irresistible. Turn your face ruthlessly and block it to the end.

Song Ya has no reason to gamble on Linton's illusory succession dream, "I can't showdown with him, the fat pig is too cunning and has no credibility, if he informs...my business, your future will be over immediately. "

Its own distribution system is still very weak. It can only rely on the corners and corners of Disney's disdain to invest in it. It is purely relying on itself and the super strong carrying capacity of Lincoln Park to maintain a meager profit. If you go against Disney this time, then the Universal, Sony Columbia, EMI, Disney, News Corporation Fox, Viacom Paramount, and MGM, which is closely related to the Italian Gang... Except for the Warner series. The film and record companies, as well as BMG, are almost full of successes and rivals all over the world.

The Warner department is hard to protect itself. After its parent company AOL Time Warner released its huge loss annual report, not only was it immediately under investigation by regulators and federal agencies, and the rating agency downgraded its rating. The stock price had plummeted below $10. What is this concept? It is equivalent to media tycoon Ted Turner who merged the Turner Television Network (TNT) with CUU and Time Warner, and its market value at the peak of the joint company’s holdings was $7.2 billion, but now? Two hundred million dollars, just a fraction.

Ted Turner’s net worth was higher than that of another media tycoon, Murdoch’s mortal enemy, and now following AOL Time Warner’s luck, there is almost only a fraction of Murdoch’s.

BMG Records, which make a lot of money by grasping the trend of youths, are also dragged down by the parent company. Bertelsmann is getting faster and faster in life because of his unique "Book Club" publishing model. Amazon and other online booksellers The emerging new millennium has gradually faded, and the acquisition of Random House and the merger with the British RTL Group have not been effective.

The past few years have been very comfortable at Disney, Song Ya really doesn’t want to turn back, “And who can guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor is not playing the power of attracting snakes out of the hole this time? You have forgotten how Katzenberg and Ovitz were driven away back then. Right?"

"Of course I know that I know Eisner too well, and I will be careful. It is the priority not to expose myself."

Linton's office political skills are almost at his level. "At present, according to his exaggerated hint, there are three candidates he is considering, Robert Iger, Roy Disney and George Mitchell."

Robert Iger is the COO of Disney’s president and chief operating officer, and the chairman of ABC Group. Like Katzenberg, he is above 10,000 people under one person, but this shows that the winner is not necessarily him, because the power veteran Ai In recent years, Sina has used a series of ups and downs in recent years to relieve Robert Iger from the real power of the ABC television network he started.

Roy, who represents the Disney family, is currently the vice chairman of the group and chairman of Disney Animation.

George Mitchell is a former U.S. Senator from Maine. He was the leader of the majority party in the Senate. He is undoubtedly a former political magnate and a senior politician of the Donkey Party close to Disney. He contributed greatly to the passage of the Mickey Mouse Act. After leaving office, he is serving as an independent director of the board of directors through the revolving door.

These three candidates have both opportunities and problems, and it looks more like Eisner deliberately thrown out a ‘big fight’ to prevent the three from forming an alliance.

"The ABC TV network probably still supports Robert Iger, animation and theme parks and other departments, the influence of the Disney family is still there...George Mitchell is an outsider, but sometimes it will be less resistance for outsiders to take over. It is more difficult in the company. At all times, we desperately need his political relations."

Linton analyzed, "APLUS, even if you don't find Harvey for the time being, can you find a chance to contact the network department for a relationship?"

"Forget it."

Song Ya shook his head even more. He and some shareholders in the network department, such as the former Infoseek boss Kirsch, had a holiday, and with the bursting of the Internet bubble, the main drag on the company’s revenue is now bought by Eisner at a high price. Website, they hate dogs and hate inside Disney.

Although Disney’s stock price, which followed AOL Time Warner’s huge loss in its annual report, escaped the main public’s attention, the stock price still fell stubbornly. The world is even more miserable. Unfortunately, Song Ya didn’t get any news in advance, and he didn’t dare to rush into the market to buy the bottom. The strange phenomena of rice stocks in the past two years prove that when you think a company has fallen below the fundamentals, it often refreshes again. Lower limit.

However, Vivendi Global escaped the most dangerous trap. As Andersen was found guilty of obstructing the government’s investigation into the Enron bankruptcy case by the court, related companies that have business connections with Andersen will inevitably be subject to follow-up investigations. It is very likely that Universal will be able to settle the false accounts through two consecutive years of losses, and with the resignation of the CEO of Andersen, Aldo Padoso, the partner of the French branch responsible for Vivendi Global's business, took over as CEO, and Anda The letter still has the motivation to cover Vivendi Global.

Contrary to the choice of Vivendi Global, WorldCom, which had previously reported the first quarter earnings but not the bad news, ended. With the appointment of the new CEO, the internal investigation and audit broke out again.

Affected by this series of events, the Dow Jones Index fell below 9,000 points, the Nasdaq Index fell below 1,400 points, and Nasdaq was above 5,000 points at its peak...

"Alicia, why doesn't the Andersen accounting information you gave Sloan reveal the internal problems of Vivendi Global?"

The time was fleeting. After Song Ya, who felt that he was wrong, had a conversation with Linton, he and Sloan went to the state prosecutor, Mr. Xingshi, to question him, "They lost a huge loss of more than 20 billion... Euros last year."

"I don't know, I gave you what I can get." Alicia looked calm this time, "I have committed APLUS crime for you. Are you still unsatisfied?"

"We didn't mean that Alicia."

Sloan rounded off, "So is it just a possibility that Andersen still made false accounts on Vivendi Global's relevant documents to cover Vivendi Global's previous financial fraud with huge losses?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know, the law and order in Cook County is so bad, and the shootings that happen almost every day make me exhausted."

Alicia came to open the office to see off the guests, "You should spend some thoughts on APLUS on your African-American folks, appeal, use some methods, whatever will do, let them not be so violent."

"They and I chose you."

Before Song Ya approached Alicia, the tip of her nose was almost touching the tip of her nose, and she stared directly at her and said coldly, "I'm not a good old man who just pays and doesn't care about rewards. Remember this."

"Come on, you..."

Sloan pushed him from behind, "Goodbye Alicia."

"Help Linton? Or look for the opportunity of Vivendi Global? Or Time Warner?"

After getting on the bus, Sloan said: "If I expected it to be correct, the supermarkets of Vivendi Global and AOL Time Warner are about to open. They will not be able to bail out if they don't sell their core assets."

"Our own situation is not good..."

Litman's listed company following the bottomless Nasdaq market seems to have fallen into the boundless darkness, coupled with Song Ya's previous search engine company AltaVista, suffered heavy losses.

After last year’s large-scale net investment, the funds in my hand need to be spent on a knife. "And I don’t want to buy the Vivendi Global. That is tantamount to helping Bronfman unwind. I would rather wait for them to go bankrupt and liquidate."

"Yeah, everyone is in a bad mood." Sloan squinted a hundred dollars from his pocket and shook it in front of Song Ya's eyes.

"My CEO, I think you are in a good mood now." Song Ya complained about her, "The company's market value has shrunk like this..."

"The elephant party can't do economics, but they really give tax cuts to the rich. I even got a lot of tax rebates this tax season." Sloan said triumphantly.

"Ha!"

It turns out that, as a senior manager, as long as you don’t consider the loss of option shrinkage, the life in the stock market crash is actually very moist. "Speaking of which is my money!" Song Ya angrily confiscates her 100 dollars. Whip revenge directly in the car.

"Ahaha! Stop making trouble!"

Another old friend doesn't have this kind of game to unzip. At Sony Columbia Records headquarters in New York, President Rick Rubin just sent away his boss Howard Stringer, and then slumped on the boss chair with a gray face.

"It's hard to be a good person!"

He was holding the desk of MJ's new master Wanfu Modi and suddenly sighed, then looked at the photo of the late former president Motura on the wall, and said to himself in pain, "If you were replaced by you, I would definitely not be like me. Tangled?"

"Ms. Kelly! Ms. Kelly! Mr. President has no time..."

At this time, as the assistant outside the door stopped people and failed, ‘Boom! The office door was pushed open by DIVA, Mariah Carey rushed in with a pouting mouth, "Rick! The three-year contract is coming soon, what!? Are you not going to renew the contract with me?"

"Your price is too high, Mimi." Riclubin's head hurt even more.

"Hmph, I'm willing to sign a long-term contract, as long as the signing fee is 100 million." Mariah Carey put her hands on the boss's table strongly, and her head pressed closer.

"My eldest lady, the situation in the recording industry...who can afford your 100 million!"

Riclubin was helpless and shrank in his chair aggrievedly.

"We are willing to use some contract techniques, such as signing a gambling clause. Sony Columbia Records can't actually spend that much, just to go out for the news."

Sandy Glenn, her agent who followed Mariah Carey in, added.

"That won't work either. I will be fired immediately after I sign."

Riclubin knew that the other party just wanted to renew the contract with Whitney Houston for 100 million yuan, but he still couldn't and couldn't satisfy him, "Friends are friends, business is business Mimi..."

"Rick, you're still my best man at the wedding, can you help. Huh?" Mariah Carey looked at the hard things and started to use soft ones to launch an emotional offensive.

"Don't worry about renewing the contract first, there is still time, I am very busy now..."

Riclubin was swayed by her arms, and his upper body swayed like a candle in the wind, "No way, no way, really no way."

"Huh! I'm so angry!"

In order to renew the contract, Mariah Carey played tricks, and spent half an hour in the office with her agent, before finally turning around and leaving, "Go! Sandy! Let's go to Hollywood to make a movie!"

"Hey!"

Riclubin stared at DIVA's twisted and twisted back and sighed while wiping his head sweating profusely. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his hand immediately stretched out to the landline, but when he glanced over the Motula on the wall, he gave up his thoughts. , Turned to take out Harvey Weinstein's business card, stared at the phone number on it, and hesitated.

"Harvey, APLUS, Harvey, APLUS..."

He said it was difficult to make a decision, and finally decided to throw a coin to his fate, "Harvey on the front, APLUS on the back...well, that's it!"

Find a coin and turn it on the table.

The coin went many times, and finally fell down swayingly. The front is facing up.

"Uh..."

He froze for a while, "Forget it, APLUS should be more decent than Harvey anyway. The front is APLUS." He didn't throw a second time, gritted his teeth and picked up the landline microphone, "APLUS, it's me, Rick. "

"Well, is there...what's the matter?" A panting voice came from over there.

"What are you doing... Forget it. When I didn't ask, APLUS, I heard that you also participated in the... operation against MJ?" Riclubin asked.

"Yes, haha...huh! I said that this kind of thing can't be done without you, the president of Sony Columbia Records, why? You also joined?" This level of secrets will definitely be involved when the other party knows the secret, Song Ya Said with a smile.

"Will you?"

"FXXK, why am I not willing? I want to get back the copyright of my song~www.NovelMTL.com~You know how much I care about that." Song Ya replied.

"Do you know the specific plan?" Riclubin asked.

"It's not clear yet, it's all... some friends are leading this matter." But Song Ya wondered if he knew that David Geffen and Harvey were involved.

"I've heard some news here, they plan to..." Riclubin 1510 relayed Howard Stringer's order just now, "I think it's a bit too much, what about you? APLUS? APLUS?"

Song Ya casually held Sloan under her body and twisted while silently complaining that she had stopped, the smile on her face slowly converged...
