Chicago 1990 - Chapter 1508

“It’s just right, didn’t the girl say that the family has a history of mental illness? Then the hospital is very suitable for her, just like the John Hinckley who assassinated Reagan, go and stay in the changed place! Don’t worry, Amy, this kind of thing will not happen Any trouble for you, trust me…”

Linton personally said on the phone: “In short, Disney will do it well. You have done a good job. Then you can put all your energy on Enchanted Romance. Do you know the importance of this project, right? Okay, everything. Wait until the Christmas time is over…Don’t complain about APLUS. He is a bit bothersome, but there are too many temptations for a wealthy and famous person like him. But I know how much he likes you. He showed it to us more than once. The one he loves most is you.”

“I will, goodbye Mr. Linton…”

Disney’s vice chairman’s words were too numb. Amy frowned and just put away his phone, and Daniel next to him said: “Great, Amy, it’s great that you can take care of the overall situation. Linton and APLUS are fighting the Disney Civil War. , At this moment, they can’t bear the failure of the Enchanted Romance project. You, the heroine, are very important to the box office…”

“I said I will cooperate.”

Amy interrupted him helplessly. In the past few days, including Lyndon, the vice chairman of Disney, the people from Touchstone Pictures, and Bowei Pictures, they all cautiously coaxed themselves, for fear that they would ruin the reputation of Magical Romance on impulse.

Hayden, Yeremov, Daniel and others also appeared around him in the same relay, helping their scumbag boss all kinds of excuses and inquiring and monitoring by the way.

“That’s good, hey, that’s good…”

Daniel rubbed his hands happily, and suddenly complained about Song Ya’s ex-wife. “Really, if Mariah Carey was half as sensible as you, I wouldn’t have lost Sony Columbia Records…”

“I don’t think it’s sensible for a woman to forbear, take care of the overall situation…”

Amy rolled her eyes and struck Daniel, then flung him away and went upstairs alone.

“Sloan, Sloan, listen to me, listen to me first…”

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the study, I heard the excitement and enthusiasm in the familiar voice, without a trace of guilt, “I was wrong before, I made a mistake! I thought Web2.0 was just an invention they used to hype Internet stock prices. The concept, but this thing is really valuable! Have you heard of Mark Granowitt’s weak connection theory? Very good, our website will also start to follow up with the Internet social model, immediately! I have a good idea , Let the OpenDiary blog site open some new features like FACEBOOK to deepen the user’s own interactive content. Yes, those mini games, stealing parking spaces, stealing food…what stealing food? Just stealing food…”

“and also…”

The man was pacing back and forth with the landline, speaking very fast, “Get another OpenDiaryBa community, what Ba? It’s the kind made by Yanhong…”

Amy held on to the door frame and stared at the man’s tall back with teary eyes. The song that had just been recorded suddenly echoed in her mind.

That’s why we must have lips

Because only it can be used to kiss

Then our whole life can be spent in happiness

Through the kiss of true love

Go find your beloved…

“Also, we have to have a similar online gossip website like TMZ. I learned a lesson this time, but I also got enlightenment! Haha, it’s not too late, let Louise report the killing Back to Hollywood, Littman Media will provide technical support, and Disney will cooperate with you, just like AOL Time Warner is to TMZ. Louise reported that it can’t be done without the backing of media giants. That kind of gossip news website is a bit offensive… , We have a joint venture with Disney, Linton will arrange someone to connect with you…”

Amy sighed silently and turned away depressed.

Song Zecheng, who was here to report on his work, happened to see this scene. He shook his head with emotion and muttered to himself: “Oh! Passionate is the most ruthless person…”

“boss.”

But he quickly cleared up his mood and walked into the study with a smile to announce the good news: “Disney has settled Amanda’s parents, agent, lawyer…everyone.”

“Oh.”

That kind of little star touchstone film industry can be blocked by a real middle-level player. There is no accident. Song Ya faintly agreed and said that he knew.

Want to go the black and red route and become the gossip queen? dream!

Even Paris Hilton, who was born in the old money family, will watch the dishes, okay?

That Amanda was too reckless. It was revealed that the media tycoon’s foul behavior would not even help her enemies or quasi-enemies. This is the bottom line between everyone.

In addition to leaving some bad stalks on the Internet memory, other talks quickly disappeared.

“Mr. Linton has made an appointment with Eisner…” Song Zecheng said again.

“Um.”

In California in August, the sun was scorching, the golf cart stopped, and Linton still respectfully guarded His Majesty the Emperor as usual.

Eisner looked at the kick-off point. The Black Pharaoh was already there, and was striding back and forth with domineering steps, talking to himself.

Oh, not talking to himself, he has a Bluetooth headset on his ear, he should be talking on the phone.

“I’m not going to New York anymore, I don’t have time, Yan Hong, there will be no problems with your website IPO…Yes, the U.S. is very optimistic here, I promise. By the way, please contact Ms. Sloan. She needs your help. Technical support… Just do me a favor. Hang up, keep in touch.”

Song Ya also saw Eisner, “Mr. Eisner.” When the other party came closer, he ended the call in just a few words and stretched out his hand to say hello.

“APLUS, how is it? Has the technology improved?” Eisner asked.

“He has made great progress.” Linton laughed.

“Then I have to compete with you.”

The weather was very hot and Eisner felt uncomfortable. He adjusted his hat and glanced at the dark pharaoh, who was full of youthful and healthy skin and body. He sighed in his heart, then used the club to support his body and bend over. Put the ball on the tee, take a good pose, make a gesture of concentration for a while, then swing the ball vigorously to hit the ball.

Song Ya, who was exchanging eyes with Linton, immediately applauded, “Bravo!”

“Hehe, I’m old…”

Eisner smiled bitterly and waved his hand. When Song Ya set the ball and was about to hit his swing, he suddenly said, “By the way, APLUS, the kid that the little star claims…is it yours?”

‘Bah! ’

Song Ya slapped his hand, and the white golf ball drew an unfavorable arc in the air, “It’s none of my business anyway, Jobs didn’t recognize his illegitimate daughter…” He had no choice but to speak hard.

“Hahaha!”

Eisner laughed, and when Linton finished the ball, he took the lead.

His Majesty’s demeanor is still the same. He refused to discuss in depth how to treat the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. He also spied a few words about DreamWorks Animation’s trends. However, since he is willing to go to the appointment, his attitude is generally good, which also shows that he has started to repair the relationship with the two. And establish a certain tacit understanding.

“He’s still lucky…”

But Song Ya was still dissatisfied. Of course, he euphemistically reached an ultimatum. After saying goodbye to the old man politely, he looked at the golf cart going away and complained to Linton.

“Otherwise? Jobs hasn’t stated his position yet.”

Linton is much more nervous. The trigger for the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders is already in the hands of his alliance with Roy Disney, but the key to whether the scheduled goal can be achieved after the meeting is opened is in the hands of the Jobs camp, although Roy has taken it from it. Rushing to communicate, but there is not much mutual trust between the two parties.

Linton gritted his teeth, “Kasenberg is already negotiating with Paramount.”

“Anyway, we’ll see the real chapter next month.”

Can’t wait any longer, mainly because Katzenberg can’t wait. David Geffin and Spielberg have already decided to sell DreamWorks Studios to Paramount’s parent company Viacom. The transaction will be completed around the end of the year. Redstone is not a good person either. He is threatening Katzenberg, and Katzenberg himself is unwilling to face the end of Paramount’s failure to enter Disney, so his DreamWorks animation will immediately Will fall into domestic and foreign difficulties.

They are talking about the emperor, and the emperor is also observing them.

Eisner turned his head and saw the two chatting and walking, and they reached the height of the green again. Under the flag that was fluttering in the wind, the black pharaoh was casually waving a silver square… golf club, his former loyal minister. Linton followed behind his ass.

As they drifted away, the two people on the green gradually became two small dots in their sight.

“Michael, what did Jobs say? You’re sad to pass this time without him nodding.”

He kept the meeting strictly confidential. Unconsciously, George Mitchell is still pinning his hopes on Jobs, “It is a good time after the launch of Apple’s new products on September 7th.”

Because of physical reasons, Jobs became more and more low-key, but every time Apple released a new product, he would show up intensively, bringing the goods in person, explaining his ideas in interviews and technological activities, etc…

“How did Paulson talk to him?” Eisner asked.

“same as usual.”

George Mitchell asked in turn: “If, I mean, if you are ousted at the extraordinary shareholders meeting and Jobs refuses to come, will you turn to support Roberto Iger or someone else to take over as CEO?”

“You don’t have other ideas, you must firmly support me to block the extraordinary shareholders meeting.”

Eisner knows that this is the end of the matter, and his value to the Goldman Sachs-George Mitchell alliance is getting lower and lower. He must firmly oppose Goldman Sachs’s use of anyone as an alternative, otherwise they will reach a deal with the alternative, 100% Abandon yourself, “I won’t wait until the shareholders’ meeting is held. If I can’t stop it, I will resign, so that at least some dignity can be kept.”

At the same time, he also knows that Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s top investment banks, as a Disney holding institution, is inconvenient to keep talking like Pharaoh and Jobs, who have close business relationships with Disney. Paulson will not let go. The appeal of shareholders will be greatly reduced.

Shareholder meetings with fixed time are no problem. They can assist them by issuing research reports and investment suggestions, but extraordinary shareholders meetings with variable time are not so convenient…

“And then?” George Mitchell asked.

“Then I let my people turn to support people you don’t like.”

In the last battle, Goldman Sachs must be firmly tied to his chariot with the courage to die together!

“His people?”

Paulson complained disdainfully after receiving the report from George Mitchell, “Those who drag him any more will be hollowed out by Linton, the board of supervisors.”

“There are still some senior executives who are loyal to him, such as the chief financial officer and the legal officer, these two key positions…”

George Mitchell said: “He can still influence some shareholders. After all, he has been in power for more than 20 years.”

“I picked a possible replacement.”

The more ego and domineering Jobs came, it is better for Goldman Sachs to keep Eisner, Robert Iger is not good, it is almost equal to the spokesperson of Jobs’s side, and Linton, who wears a pair of pants, is not even considered. , “George Bodenheimer, President of ESPN and ABC Sports.”

“Now? Is it too late?” George Mitchell asked.

“It’s not too late. Shareholders are tired of their three-way fights. At this time, a new face appeared in their eyes. When they look at their performance and management capabilities, they are all good. It will have miraculous effects.”

Paulson replied: “But this matter must be kept secret, he must be crazy if Eisner knows about it.”

“Bodenheimer is now on Robert Iger’s side. He agrees?”

“agreed.”

“Um…”

George Mitchell thought for a while, and it felt feasible, “Remind you, at the last minute, Eisner is likely to leave the inheritance to Linton, who has betrayed him, instead of us.” The old fox has been in power for many years, and the old fox has a very good nose. Don’t forget that his youngest son has a very good life in APLUS’s investment bank. The relationship between the three of them is not as bad as the outside world thinks.”

“Anders, I’m also paying attention, he is very courageous…”

“Can you work on Anders? Eisner should like this little son the most.”

“More difficult…”

The current financial derivatives market is very hot. Numerous Wall Street newcomers are taking advantage of the wind. For these people, Goldman Sachs or big investment bank is a fart. Going there will restrict more and delay Laozi’s earning money. Paulson doesn’t like it. The New York Donkey Party’s pair of broker brothers often mingled with Anders, and this behavior is too low for his own identity. It’s not a nouveau riche who has never heard of it before.”

“Right…”

“In short, it’s best to keep Eisner in the short term. You take the time to quietly meet with Jobs with me, and we will try to see if we can hold him temporarily.”

“He wants to see us?”

“Yes, I asked Larry Ellison for help.”

“OK.”

It was not until the end of August that Jobs met the two at home, and then remained silent.

“Steve, they are right. Katzenberg can’t stand the pressure anymore. As long as you stay silent and leave the suspense until the end of the year, Katzenberg will bow to Redstone, so that Disney will leave Pixar. Animation, there is no choice.”

Larry Ellison, who was sent back, persuaded: “At that time, you and Robert Iger can cooperate with each other and achieve each other.”

“The problem now is…”

Jobs said leisurely, “I must make my attitude clear before the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, otherwise Eisner will not be able to get out, and if Eisner does not leave, he can always think of ways to prevent my influence from entering Disney through Robert. At that time, Goldman Sachs and Who will George Mitchell support? How much is their verbal promise worth today?”

“For Goldman Sachs, you have common interests with them, expelling the alliance of APLUS, Linton, and Katzenberg…”

Larry Ellison replied: “After that, Eisner is no longer important.”

“Eisner has become more and more of a Goldman Sachs puppet. Would they be willing to replace Eisner with Robert?”

Jobs shook his head, “As one of Disney’s institutional shareholders, Goldman Sachs is willing to sit back and watch APLUS take away the record business?”

“Paulson is sick of APLUS because of the wolf of Wall Street.”

Larry Ellison said: “May be really messing up his career as a finance minister.”

“Is the chairman of Goldman Sachs so emotional?” Jobs asked rhetorically.

Larry Ellison smiled and shook his head, “Hehe, I think you are all very emotional, like you, Steve, you just want to see Eisner get out, the sooner the better, right?”

Jobs seemed to be amused by this sentence, and his increasingly rare smile climbed onto his waning face. It is not that he rarely laughs, he laughs a lot in public, and also laughs when socializing privately or when he is with his wife and daughter. But he doesn’t know how many strong ingredients there are…

“For this war, the biggest problem is that APLUS is too rich…”

In the afternoon in New York, Buffett, who was secretly eating the Disney Civil War melon, put down the newspaper. The picture above shows Song Ya, who broke up with Amy, accompanied his ex-wife Mariah Carey and Lei Jia. A family of three appeared in California Disneyland. The surroundings are empty, and the title is’Compound? Just after the end of the long-distance love run with American actress Amy Adams, the APLUS proudly reserved Disneyland for a whole day, just to please the ex-wife, mother and son. ’

Of course Rega’s face happened to be blocked by the balloon.

The dignified stock **** was actually reading the British Sun newspaper, “So everyone can’t use other methods against him to get him out of business, and all of them are acting like sheep…”

“APLUS has made a lot of money in China’s stocks this month. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”

My old friend Munger was reading the serious financial news, and put down the newspaper to joke, “If you regard him as a fund, the 15-year comprehensive investment return rate is much higher than that of us… Even if I just bought Warner Soon after the record, he still has a sum of funds that he can use to file a lawsuit with Fox Pictures’ Titanic’s earnings. Although Murdoch’s character will do everything possible to repay the bill, no one can be sure, right? If APLUS is reconciling the amount. With big steps back, Murdoch has no reason not to seize this opportunity.”

“Ha ha!”

Buffett laughed, “Murdoch and Redstone should be eager for Disney to continue to maintain this balance and keep chaos, just like AOL Time Warner… So this money can also be counted as Murdoch’s bullets, if APLUS If you can’t stand it…”

“Oh! That kid has a new move.”

Munger was listening to the radio at the same time, and he shared an earphone with an old friend.

‘Warner Music Group CEO Doug Morris announced that it has reached an intent to acquire the Metropolitan Distribution Company, and the entire transaction will be conducted by way of a share swap. ’
