Chapter 1300 Chapter 12 Immovable as a Mountain

"Why did the Italians learn about their private contacts so early? Because the Middle Easterners have already started to inquire wildly..."

For the time being, he has entrusted Yeremov to take charge of the awards. Harvey... If you can ask for help, you have to ask for it yourself. There are other Hollywood connections. The black group will naturally support him firmly. Their energy in the TV and film industry has already Not small.

"For example, the Bahrain Fund asked Gucci President Desore, and Desore knows it all, and the news will spread soon..."

Ms Sloan said.

The "great cause of revenge" is important. After Song Ya relaxed for a while, he discussed the countermeasures intensively. "The Bronfman family is going to sell Universal to the Middle East..." He asked, "Can we hype it up?"

"This is different from borrowing money from the Germans. They will be cleared and leave the market. Who cares about it? Now they won't be blamed even if they sell Universal to the Germans..."

Sloan replied: "If you have the ability, you can pay more to compete, and the one with the highest price will win."

"We can't let them exit so easily, no." Song Ya pointed out immediately.

"Tens of billions, people in the Middle East are not stupid, this will be a long-term negotiation process."

"But they have a good reputation, and the rich three generations will use this to bid other potential buyers, creating the illusion that Seagram Global Group is being chased by capital...or the truth, such a large local entertainment and media group that can influence the United States A lot of foreign capital will be really interested and even willing to pay a high premium for it.”

"Have you read the financial information given by David Geffen? Universal should not be able to sell for 40 billion."

"40 billion!? That means Bronfman Jr.'s net worth will reach more than 7 billion, double that before the acquisition of Universal!"

"There is also the Bronfman family. According to this calculation, the value of the entire family's shares in Universal will exceed 11 billion. It is said that his family's art collection and other investments have more than 20 to 3 billion. .”

"It's unfathomable, otherwise it wouldn't have been considered a super Jewish family before. The old Bronfman could have been the chairman of the conference for so many years."

"Now Jewish elites have mixed feelings about his family."

"But it's not like we can take the lead. It's different. Merrill Lynch's attitude must also be considered. If Merrill Lynch can agree to postpone the IPO, Merrill Lynch will definitely be deeply involved in this super M&A deal."

"David Geffen doesn't do it himself? He is actually more suitable than us..."

"That old fox..."

"How about... betray him? The information he gave..."

"Don't,

Is this not in the options? "

"Don't let the enemy feel that the friendly army fights first."

"David Geffen must have more than that black material."

"If we don't do anything to repay our sincerity later, he won't give it. This is a process of testing each other and deepening trust."

"too slow."

"At least stop the Middle Easterners from being really impulsive? The boss also said that Bronfman would do things too quickly for people to react."

"Isn't that the same as being in the early stage? They can't keep secrets very well, and it can be seen from this incident."

Song Ya and his cronies discussed with each other, Sloan and Littman Media were busy with heavy work, "Really, we can't bankrupt the Bronfman family by chatting from morning to night like this!"

She complained and left the table, and when she opened the study door, she turned her head and reminded, "Oh, by the way, APLUS, the post-review of the movie miracle you posted on OpenDiary received a very good response, keep it up."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

"Hmph... Don't forget to go to New York with me next month, socialize with Wall Street institutions, OpenDiary's prospectus is about to be released, they like you even more."

"I will never forget, I am your loyal servant hehe."

"Don't be joking!" Sloan closed the door and left.

The remaining Song Zecheng and Hayden both scratched their heads.

Song Ya also knows that they all have a sense of powerlessness, which is not surprising. Even if they hold the handle of Def Jam records and lose the best opportunity to make trouble during the IPO, they will no longer find an angle to do bad things.

After all, it has been redeemed and decoupled, and it is impossible to disrupt such a large M&A business from the inside. A big deal means that there are more interest communities involved. Seagram Global Group, Merrill Lynch, and potential buyers are all super giants. not to be trifled.

But something has to be done, otherwise the thoughts will not flow.

"Has my appointment arrived?" Song Ya also opened the door and asked the security director of Highland Park who was guarding outside.

"Here we are, at the pier."

"Okay, take me there."

When he was driving a Rolls-Royce, Motura ordered the truck driver to break his legs. The security director drove an electric wheelchair and took him to the pier.

As usual, there was a small speedboat parked there, and Doug, Underwood's chief of staff, liked this secret way of meeting.

"I heard that he helped the alcoholic Russell get rid of the scandal of drunk driving, soliciting prostitutes and alleged bribery of police officers, and kept his position in the Federal Representative? The price he paid is not small, right?"

Song Ya asked.

"Yes, that guy Russell...is really a headache." Doug complained rarely.

Now whether it is Underwood, Daly Jr., Peter Flock, in short, the Chicago gang is considering Al Gore, who will compete for the leadership position next year, and the large real estate project in the Russell constituency is also cooperating with Al Gore. Durwood is trying to come back to the door, so Russell's job must be kept.

Of course, Song Ya doesn't care about this, let alone ask what means to get it done, as long as Russell's re-election campaign, if Underwood still intends to continue to support him, he can obediently pay for it.

No matter how unreliable that alcoholic is, it's worth supporting Underwood alone.

"We're doing nothing for now."

"do nothing?"

David Geffen has joined the Avengers, but Song Ya will not let him hook up with Underwood. It is more beneficial to swing at both ends and thread needles, and it is also the most comfortable position.

In the past, this kind of position must have been taken by those two more senior old foxes. Song Ya thought it was not easy to do this.

"Yes, do nothing."

After a few casual chats, Doug continued to cut to the chase like a robot, sparing words like gold.

"People in the Middle East are talking to them, and maybe the progress will be too fast for us to react." Song Ya reminded that the information given by David Geffen and the information he had had been disclosed to Underwood.

"If you want to keep your focus on APLUS, it is impossible for people in the Middle East to get Universal, and we will not approve this deal." Doug said.

"That's great." Song Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "But Europeans can."

"That can't be helped, the Europeans are our allies..." Dogger paused, "At least on the surface."

"The problem now is that the news will spread quickly, and if the US government does not express its position, they can use the rich and powerful Middle East oil tanks to raise prices to Europeans..."

"We will make a statement, so we have to wait for the news to spread. It is inconvenient for no one to ask the US government about this." Doug repeatedly emphasized, "Concentration, concentration is very important APLUS."

"do nothing?"

"Don't do it."

Unmoving like a mountain? Turtle is very good at delaying time, and has always been persistent and patient, but...

"We're not doing anything." He announced the latest decision to his cronies, "for now."

"That……"

"Wait for the time, when the time comes we..." He ordered, his gaze became firmer.

"He agreed to cooperate." Doug returned to Washington to report.

"I see. Do you want some too?" Underwood, who was sitting on the open-air seat of a dilapidated, shabby street shop, was munching on ribs without any image, nodding, motioning for Doug to sit down too.

"I'll wait in the car." Doug refused, getting into the car parked on the side of the road.

"What are you thinking? In a bad mood?"

Time passed quickly, Song Ya concentrated on class, occasionally participated in the promotion of the new album, accompanied Mira's prenatal checkup, and took time to pick up Kung Fu exercises, and it was not far from the start of Blade Warrior.

As the heroine, Harley's character was bitten by a vampire in the first part of Blade Warrior, and then was rescued by the blood of the protagonist she played, so in the sequel, she also became a half-human, half-vampire creature like the protagonist, and With such a perfect and hot body, it would be too wasteful to always play a conservatively dressed scientist, so there are also some action scenes.

In the hit movie The Matrix in the first half of the year, the heroine’s appearance in a tight leather dress was very popular, so let’s learn that she is a terribly seductive stunner in a similar outfit. The heroine’s appearance is even lower than Harley’s.

What Harry saw when he entered the study was Song Ya standing in front of the TV for a long exam. He seemed to be struggling with something, his brows were furrowed, his mouth was pursed, and the knuckles supporting the table turned white, "You know? At this time Men are the most attractive." She snuggled up to fart.

"nothing……"

Song Ya hugged her casually and slid down the leather jacket, feeling a little better.

Underwood wasn't the kind of person who would charge forward in a daze. It was impossible. Both of them had to pay for the binding.

'The news that Seagram Global Group intends to find a new buyer is spreading rapidly. Today, the chairman of the company, Bronfman, and his party met with German dignitaries in Berlin...'

The result of doing nothing is that the news spread naturally and spread back to the United States. Afterwards, the rich three generations took advantage of the trend and made a high profile. He led a team to run around in Europe, and speculations about Middle Eastern buyers were frequently mentioned.

In the financial news screen, he really appeared in Germany with a huge delegation. In addition to negotiations, he also visited places such as Jewish crucifixion sites, and made a lot of drama.

Well-organized, the image of the third generation of the rich is already good, and it is exactly the same as when it acquired Polygram, and it is exactly the same as it is personable.

Unsurprisingly, public opinion in the United States about Seagram Global Group being pursued by various countries has also begun to arise, and one after another potential buyers of large multinational companies, consortiums, and private equity funds have been frequently mentioned by the financial media.

There are various speculations in the market, most of which are beneficial for them to sell at a good price.

Even if the Avengers have been negotiated, coordinated, and made a good plan, watching all this, as time goes by, Song Ya, who waits silently, is under increasing pressure, often falling into doubt and self-doubt, suspecting that Underwood has betrayed , This is just a secret plan by him and the Bronfman family to delay him, doubting whether his decision is correct...

Sometimes he is even a little afraid that he will hear the news that the deal has been concluded from Europe in the next second, and all plans will be in vain.

Be a pathetic and ludicrous loser.

It's really hard to be as immovable as a mountain!

"Will APLUS betray us?" In Los Angeles, David Geffen's cronies also expressed concerns to the boss from time to time.

"Don't worry, I understand him." David Geffen shook his head.

"But he still..."

"Anyway, let's wait for the news. There is no way. The Bronfman family is so eager to get rid of it all of a sudden. They may have already noticed that I released the news about Deutsche Bank last time. I have to find allies to protect myself. It will be too late when they recover. gone."

David Geffen was worried differently, "Just wait, APLUS asked us to wait, this time... I choose to trust that kid." He gritted his teeth and swung the golf ball high and far.

'For this tens of billions of dollars in transactions, there are also different voices in Washington. '

coming!

Song Ya's big hand began to exert force unconsciously, and Harry grunted in protest.

It was supposed to be a Washington event dinner, and Congressman Russell, a bald drunk, appeared on camera.

"Rep. Russell, what do you think of the rumor that a fund in the Middle East will acquire Seagram Global Group?"

Russell, who is very junior, does not have real power in an important committee of the House of Representatives, and is riddled with scandals. He is not a fart among the more than 400 members of the House of Representatives in Washington. It is generally impossible for a reporter to ask this kind of question from the Chicago constituency, which is irrelevant. he.

The contribution is mutual, and the nomination certificate is also mutual. It is impossible for the chief director Underwood to use all his people foolishly. If he uses Russell, who is repaying his favor, the one who cooperates will not be the Chicago Tribune reporter who has a closer relationship with him. Zoe Barnes.

So today's question is Taiwan's chief political reporter, Stephanie White House correspondent.

Neither of the two who were on guard against each other wanted to charge first, so they did it together! With the total death.

"Based on national security considerations, I do not recommend this, and I will express my views in Congress tomorrow..."

Russell has one of the biggest advantages. His speech is very contagious, at least stronger than Underwood himself. He held a rolled up document and signaled to the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, Seagram Global Group has the world's largest A major record company, one of the seven major movie companies and countless American media..."

"call……"

Russell didn't lose the chain, Underwood didn't betray, and Song Ya let out a long breath.

He looked up at the TV station's logo, no, it wasn't influential enough, it was Disney's ABC.

"White House chief of staff and senior policy adviser Podesta subsequently expressed similar concerns..."

Capitol Hill minor Russell's speech was cut right at the beginning, the reporter's voice-over said.

Well, it seems that Underwood was not bragging when he said that he could find a way to persuade the Grand Commander.

Great, getting better...

Song Ya licked his lips, as if he had tasted the smell of blood, "Ow!" Harley, who was unsuspecting, was suddenly thrown down on the sofa in the study by him, and then looked at him in horror with an evil smile like a vampire. powerful man.

"Mr. Geffen, there was just a news... at the stadium? No problem, ABC, uh..."

There is no need to worry now, he picked up the microphone and called David Geffen, "In short, I have fulfilled my promise, and it is your turn next."
