Chicago 1990 - Chapter 1492

After crying and crying, Halle vented a lot of emotions and still set out conscientiously to make a global promotion for “Catwoman”.

After receiving the Oscars, this project brought together all her remaining dreams of breaking into Hollywood, bringing the funds into the formation of a superhero commercial blockbuster, also a producer, a leading actress, and the actual power of the crew surpassed that of a sister Julia. Roberts, almost comparable to the peak period of double actress Judy Foster.

If this film is successful again, she will be able to enter the level of Drew Barrymore and Reich Witherspoon who have led big-selling projects in her own film studio.

And Drew Barrymore and Rich Witherspoon’s performance evaluation and awards are far inferior to her, so she will truly rise to the top of Hollywood’s comprehensive strength.

And now…

Catwoman’s big sale seems impossible, but it’s not time to give up completely.

“The Yanhong couple reminded me to pay attention to this website.”

Halle has always been so self-disciplined and hardworking, and Song Ya has no reason to relax. He pointed to a refreshing and concise website to show Sloan: “What do you think?”

“FACEBOOK?”

Sloan took a look, “I know that it was probably Harvard’s online alumni record at the beginning, and it will soon become popular on other college campuses in Boston. Now almost all Ivy League colleges and students from other prestigious schools like to play this… Likewise, the founder is also Jewish.”

“Invitation registration system, its user relationship is closer than our blog site, I heard that many young people are proud to be invited.” Song Ya said.

“But this website is deeply involved in a plagiarism lawsuit, and the founder’s two Harvard alumni said it was plagiarized…”

Sloan manipulated the mouse little by little, and quickly found news reports about the lawsuit. The case itself was terribly bloody. The Narendra brothers, a Harvard student in 2002, created a small website called, and in 2003, they were invited by their friends verbally. Facebook founder, programming genius, and alumni Zuckerberg wrote programs for the website. Unexpectedly, Zuckerberg had been using various excuses to delay work after agreeing to help, but suddenly launched a similar Facebook in early 2004…

“Oral invitation…like this.”

Although it has been a long time since the postponement was filed, Song Ya used the knowledge reserves of the University of Chicago Law School students to evaluate it and felt that the lawsuit was going to be fought, and the investment interest was slightly reduced.

“Is Rashida free?”

Sloan pressed the phone next to him: “Okay, then call her to my office.”

“Hey, the business is not over yet!” Song Ya protested.

“Don’t you have other things in your mind?”

Sloan rolled his eyes at him disgustingly, “Isn’t Rashida a Harvard graduate?”

“Hehehe…” Song Ya scratched his head embarrassedly and smirked.

Rashida came soon happily. She has a Facebook account but seldom plays. After all, her personal blog has been successfully managed by her. At Harvard, her popularity seems to be average, and she has no interaction with other users. , Only a few female entertainment alumni with a Harvard degree, such as Natalie Portman and Paris Hilton.

“Oh!”

In the dimly lit office, only the faint fluorescent light of the computer screen is lit. Rashida’s Facebook profile picture is her own headshot. Opposite the smiling face, Sloan is lying on the boss chair with blurred eyes and put a hand into her hair. At the same time, he held Song Ya with his other hand.

‘General Electric NBC and Vivendi Universal have officially completed all mergers and acquisitions. The new company NBC Universal will be a super media with entertainment and media companies such as NBC Television Network, American Television Network, Universal Pictures, Universal Studios and Canal+ Television Network. group……’

‘In the joint statement, the two companies set the estimated value of the combined entity as a super giant of 43 billion meters. Among them, General Electric holds 80% and Vivendi holds 20%…’

‘General Electric paid about 5.5 billion dollars in additional funds for this transaction, including 500 million in cash paid to France Vivendi and 1.7 billion in debt, and the other 3.3 billion dollars will be paid to Vivendi Global Other shareholders…’

On September 2, 2004, a piece of news detonated the media industry in the United States, and a new giant was born.

Calculated on the basis of 20% of the 43 billion, the French paid so much only to get back about 8.6 billion dollars in market value, 500 million in cash and 1.7 billion in debt. Together, it is only one. Tens of eight billion, and the money they spent on the US TV network, Universal Pictures, and Universal Studios was more than that, let alone the Canal+ TV network and other European media.

The big burden Universal Music still did not get rid of. The French were not only wiped out by General Electric’s media influence in the United States, but also invaded the European base camp by the other side.

However, with the sequelae of Vivendi being tossed by the former CEO Messier, it would be great that it can get rid of so much burden. At least the capital market recognizes that its and General Electric’s stock prices have both risen after the transaction is completed.

“What happened to the 3.3 billion cash paid to other shareholders of Vivendi Global?”

But Song Ya’s attention was not in the main transaction. “This number… Little Bronfman must have used this transaction to get away?”

“Almost, the Bronfman family, as well as institutional investors such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Lehman Brothers, Salomon Smith Barney, etc., should have all left the market more or less. General Electric will not let the new company face too complicated as soon as it sets sail. The internal situation.”

David Geffen replied.

“Damn it!” Song Ya cursed and threw the report in his hand onto the table.

“Little Bronfman will get out of it at best. His billion-dollar market value holdings in Universal Music can’t escape.”

David Geffen then comforted him: “There are three hundred and three billion that can be divided into one billion? It will not exceed 1.5 billion.”

“Then it is…”

The rich three generations really can’t die. Song Ya made mental calculations. Even to this day, his personal assets still have nearly 2.5 billion dollars, and he can still rank about 200 in this year’s global rich list. Benefiting from this deal, Among them are nearly 1.5 billion in cash.

“Are you afraid he will disrupt the situation?” David Geffen asked.

“I’m afraid of him? A joke…”

An enemy holding 1.5 billion dollars in cash…

When he was fighting with Jobs, Paulson, and Eisnardo in a scorched battle…

Fortunately, the rich three generations who have been under house arrest by their old father should not be able to be in charge.

Song Ya solved himself.

“You! Hurry up!” Then the ex-wife opened the door and shouted, then turned away and left.

“Come on! Forget it, let’s take a look at the situation for now… Let’s go.”

The two super rich had no choice but to trot to catch up with her.

On another battlefield, the French civil war between LVMH and PPR has also been settled. PPR finally won the fiercely contested Gucci Group at a total cost of 8.8 billion dollars. It has been friendly and eagerly looking forward to Song Ya. In the end, the PPR Group Pino father and son did not wait for even a penny of his help.

But this is not good news for Gucci’s artistic director and American costume designer Tom Ford. During the LVMH and PPR competition, he was the target of the two sides, but now the situation has changed. He began to make drastic reforms, and he no longer pretended to lose the use value, so he ran away in anger and returned to the United States.

Song Ya and Tom Ford have a good relationship. Because of the need to always keep his mind, Song Ya has been paying attention to the battle for Gucci. Tom Ford has also been playing the role of his secret agent within Gucci. Now Tom Ford has returned to New York to start his own business independently. Song Ya naturally has the obligation to help.

Similarly, David Geffen also has to support Tom Ford, the fellow of the same-sex brotherhood, so he and Song Ya and other good friends provided some financial support, and they all have a small amount of shares in Tom Ford’s new brand of the same name.

“Tom! Richard!”

Hungry for fashion brand endorsements and never choose food. Today, the ex-wife who was specially dressed up was an extremely warm hug when Tom Ford went up, so she almost said, ‘Choose me! Pick me! ’Speak out.

“It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Kelly, Mr. APLUS, Mr. Geffen… Thank you for coming.”

Tom Ford’s skinny boyfriend Richard was shaken by her, squeezed smiles and shook hands one by one, “Take a photo first?”

“OK.”

Song Ya and them put their arms around their shoulders intimately, standing in a row and smiling at the camera.

“Do you still design Haute Couture?”

“Of course, I want to make my personal brand the number one in the U.S. and one of the top five luxury clothing brands in the world.”

“Big five? LV, Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, Prada, which do you want to replace?”

“Haha, step by step.”

Subsequently, the ambitious Tom Ford began to brainwash the investors in his hometown.

“Father……”

At the same time, the little Bronfman, whose personal restrictions have been gradually relaxed, walked behind his father timidly.

“Edgar, for the money, I plan to set up a trust fund…” Old Bronfman told his son his latest decision.

“Trust…”

Little Bronfman endured and endured, and finally spoke out his thoughts, “Perhaps we can gather some consortia to offer Warner Records? At least create some trouble for the enemies of our family.”

“For God’s sake, Edgar, stop thinking about returning to the entertainment industry, okay?” The old man was helpless by him.

During the later period of house arrest, the young Bronfman’s channels for obtaining information were unblocked, and he also settled down to enrich himself, “I did not suggest this based on revenge or impulse, father… I think so: we have learned from the world. Part of the break away, you no longer have to worry about APLUS, the game situation has changed. On the one hand, the value of the record industry is indeed in a period of greatly underestimated, as evidenced by the steady increase in sales of Apple and Beats online music stores. On the other hand, APLUS, which has started wars everywhere, is in a very weak state…”

He handed the prepared information to the old Bronfman.

‘Some shareholders of Palm expressed fierce dissatisfaction with Apple, a competitor of the First Bank of New Jersey, controlled by Chairman APLUS. They believe that as a member of the company’s board of directors and supervisors, APLUS’s move violated its obligation of loyalty to other Palm shareholders. Claiming that the initiation of a class action lawsuit is not excluded…’

“Hey!”

After reading it, the old Bronfman sighed deeply, “I have been alive in a few years, and APLUS is much younger than you. I admit that you have made great progress during this period, but I am still not optimistic. What good results will you bring back to the record industry? You mentioned the Beats music store just now. Don’t forget who it belongs to. As for the current situation of APLUS… Don’t just stare at his assets on the water and ignore him. Last time I shorted Vivendi Global, I was able to quietly mobilize funds far beyond what the outside world expected. I finally took advantage of the contradiction between General Electric and Vivendi to try to get this money back, and consider Edgar for the future of the family. ”

“Father……”

“Stop talking about Edgar, when I die, all the money and the responsibilities and obligations to the family are still yours…”

No matter how helpless, there is still only such a usable seedling in front of his children’s generation, and the old Bronfman closed his eyes wearily.

“Why do those three guys still have 3DFX stock?”

After Palm’s shareholders were manipulated by someone who wanted to make trouble, the founding trio of 3DFX, who had already gone to work at Apple, began to engage in trouble again. They told the media, “APLUS still needs to give 3DFX an explanation for losing Apple’s order. We will do it next year.” The general meeting of shareholders initiated a veto action on his re-election as the chairman of 3DFX. ’

After Song Ya read the news, his face was full of black question marks, “Someone must have taught them this kind of words. I would not have been swept out by me if I had this kind of ability long ago!”

“If one party has an advantage or influence over the other party, and such advantage or influence is caused by the other party’s trust in him, then they have a trust relationship with each other. Since the directors are If he is elected to manage the affairs of the company based on the trust of shareholders, he must take the position of purely serving the company and do something, and he cannot use his position for personal gain…”

His personal lawyer Song Zecheng replied: “The problem with 3DFX is not big. Palm’s shareholders meeting next year may be a little troublesome.”

“I know the law.”

Song Yaheng glanced at him, “In short, the soldiers will come to stop, let the water come to cover it!”

“Okay, boss, then I’ll go out first.” Song Zecheng exited with a smile and closed the door from the outside.

“What were you talking about?”

The two people usually communicate in Chinese, and Hallie in his arms can’t understand it naturally.

“Nothing…what are you going to do in the future?”

Song Ya held her affectionately. Catwoman with a cost of 100 million dollars was only 80 million dollars in the global box office. Warner Pictures was wailing. Hallie, who had just entered the 20 million club, had a bloodshed and ended the global publicity campaign. Then she hid in her highland park and licked her wounds.

“do not know……”

Hallie, who has cried for several times, murmured, “I heard that I will be selected as the worst heroine for the Golden Raspberry Awards next year…”

“Don’t be discouraged, this is not like you anymore!”

Song Ya smiled and comforted her: “Remember that you didn’t give up when you were so downhearted in New York? You just rushed to the street once, and then you play, or just concentrate on stocks. Don’t you like stocks?”

“I’m not interested in that now…”

Hallie’s gaze fell on the sofa quietly reading a book, reaching out to Amy who was touching the pickled cucumbers, and asked in a low voice, “Why is she…why has her belly so big this time? It’s almost like a balloon, twins?”

“One, the obstetrician said it was bigger than the average fetus.” Song Ya replied.

“Still a boy?”

“should be?”

“Did you think of a name?”

“Amy said if it’s a boy, it’s Garland…”

“Oh~www.mtlnovel.com~ Halle curled up in her arms again and said nothing.

Song Ya didn’t bother her and continued with the work at hand. Since Palm would be a little troublesome, he first hung up the phone with Palm’s CEO Jeffrey Hawkins, “Jeffrey, why is our Tero650 smartphone operating system still It’s the follow-up version of PalmOS5. Didn’t you say that it will be upgraded to PalmOS6?”

“The progress of the operating system development has been delayed…”

The two quickly talked about the changes of some shareholders, and they talked for more than half an hour.

“Let them all come! In the first half of next year’s Disney, Palm, and Apple shareholders meeting cycle, we will come to a final settlement!”

Song Ya put down the microphone after putting up a domineering, cruel remark.

“What’s wrong?”

He lowered his head and found that Halle’s brilliant eyes were flashing at him.

“I don’t want to work hard anymore. Give me a long-term meal ticket.”

Halle exhaled in his ear, “Sugar Daddy…”
