Chapter 1447 It's Hard to Be a Good Person

"Bo Wei Pictures likes you very much, and Disney Records, Touchstone Pictures and Disney Copyright Company, I can handle it..."

Since Emperor Eisner foresaw that he forbade himself from holding Disney stocks, the alliance between Song Ya and Linton had no influence on the Disney board of directors, so they had to take the road of contacting various business hills. At present, Song Ya's record and movie business and Disney In-depth cooperation, Metropolitan Records with Jazzy, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Linkin Park, Daft Punk, Foxy Brown and other singers, with Song Ya herself, Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas, Mira, Common, Dee The A+ records of Ang Wilson and other singers are the number one foreign name outside of Disney Records' own system. In addition to the Blade series and Dance Out of My Life series, A+ Entertainment has also handed over all new movies to Disney's live-action movies. Distributor Burwell Pictures.

Linton himself is the president of the copyright company, and he can then exert influence on Touchstone Pictures, which internally swallowed Hollywood Pictures.

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

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

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

"Harvey..."

In addition to the conspiracy and rebellion this time... At least four family slaves have been counted. Song Ya is not afraid of rebelling against Eisner, and it may not be cost-effective. Eisner is kind to himself. Turn your face and be ruthless, and block it to the end.

Song Ya had no reason to gamble for Linton's illusory succession dream, "I can't show my cards with him, that dead 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, and it can only eat the corners and corners that Disney disdains to invest in. It can only maintain a meager profit by relying on its own and Linkin Park's super-strong delivery capabilities. If they turn against Disney again this time, then Universal, Sony Columbia, EMI, Disney, News Corp. Fox, Viacom Paramount, and MGM, which is closely related to the Italian gang...except Warner The film and record companies and BMG are almost full of achievements, and they are enemies all over the world.

And Warner itself is hard to protect. Its parent company, AOL Time Warner, was not only immediately investigated by regulators and federal agencies, but also downgraded by rating agencies after its huge loss annual report was released. The stock price has plummeted below $10. What is this concept? After the media tycoon Ted Turner merged Turner Television Network (TNT) with CUU and Time Warner, its market value was 7.2 billion knives at the peak of the joint company's holdings, but now? Two hundred million knives, exactly a fraction.

Ted Turner's net worth was higher than another media tycoon's sworn enemy Murdoch,

Now it is unlucky to follow AOL Time Warner, and it is almost only a fraction of Murdoch.

BMG Records, which has made a lot of money by grasping the popular trend of young people, has also been dragged down by the parent company. Bertelsmann is getting faster and faster in the pace of life because of his unique "book club" publishing model. Online booksellers such as Amazon The rise of the new millennium has gradually weakened, and the acquisition of Random House and the merger with the British RTL group have not performed well.

I have lived comfortably in Disney these past few years, and Song Ya really doesn't want to rebel, "And who can guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor is not playing tricks to lure snakes out of the hole this time? You have forgotten how Katzenberg and Ovitz were driven away back then." ?"

"Of course I know. I know Eisner too well, so I will be careful. My priority is not to expose myself."

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

Robert Iger is the president and COO of Disney, and the chairman of the ABC Group. Like Katzenberg back then, he is below one person and above ten thousand people. In recent years, Sina has lifted the real power of Robert Iger's ABC TV network through a series of ups and downs in recent years.

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

George Mitchell is a former Maine U.S. senator. He was the majority leader of the Senate. There is no doubt that he is a former politician. He is a senior politician of the Donkey Party who has close ties to Disney. After stepping down through the revolving door is serving as an independent director on the board.

All three candidates have opportunities and problems. It seems more like Eisner deliberately threw out the "big power struggle" to prevent the three from forming an alliance.

"The ABC TV network probably still supports Robert Iger, animation and theme parks and other departments, and the influence of the Disney family is still there...George Mitchell is an outsider, but sometimes there is little resistance when outsiders take over, and it is relatively difficult in the company. At this moment, we desperately need his political connections."

Linton made an analysis, "APLUS, even if you don't look for Harvey for the time being, can you find a chance to get in touch with the network department?"

"forget it."

Song Ya shook her head even more. She had a feud with certain shareholders in the Internet department, such as the former Infoseek boss Kirsch, and with the burst of the Internet bubble, the main drag on the company's revenue is now these Eisner bought at a high price website, they hate dogs inside Disney.

Following AOL Time Warner's huge loss annual report, although Disney's stock price has escaped the main public's attention, the stock price still fell enough. Last year, it lost more than 10 billion, and Vivendi, which lost another 23 billion euros this year Universal is even worse, but it’s a pity that Song Ya didn’t get any news in advance, and didn’t dare to rush into the market to buy bottoms. The strange phenomena of rice stocks in the past two years prove that when you think a company has fallen below its fundamentals, it will often refresh again. lower limit.

However, Vivendi Universal escaped the most dangerous trap. As Andersen was found guilty of obstructing the government's investigation of Enron's bankruptcy case by the court, related companies related to Andersen's business will inevitably be subject to follow-up investigations. Vivendi It is very likely that Universal has evened out the fake accounts through two consecutive years of losses, and with the resignation of Andersen’s CEO, Aldo Padoso, the partner of the French branch in charge of Vivendi Global’s business, took over as CEO, and Andersen Xin still has the motivation to protect Vivendi Universal.

Contrary to Vivendi Universal's choice, WorldCom, which had previously released its first-quarter financial report, reported good news but not bad news. Instead, with the appointment of a new CEO, another shocking thunder broke out in the internal audit.

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

"Alicia, why didn't the Andersen accounting information you gave to Sloan show the internal problems of Vivendi Universal?"

The opportunity was fleeting, and after talking with Linton, Song Ya, who felt that he had made a mistake of billions, went to the state prosecutor with Sloan to question him. "They lost more than 20 billion... euros last year."

"I don't know, I gave you what I can get." Alicia looked calmly this time, "I have already committed a crime for you, APLUS, don't you still have any dissatisfaction?"

"We don't mean that, Alicia."

Sloan smoothed things over, "So is it just a possibility that Arthur Andersen still made false accounts on Vivendi Universal's relevant documents to cover up Vivendi Universal'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 too bad, and the shootings almost every day make me physically and mentally exhausted."

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

"They and I chose you."

Song Ya approached Alicia before going out, the tip of her nose was almost touching the tip of her nose, she looked straight into her eyes and said coldly, "I'm not a good old man who just pays and doesn't care about rewards, remember this."

"Let's go you..."

Sloan pushed him from behind. "Goodbye Alicia."

"Help Linton? Or a chance to find Vivendi Universal? Or Time Warner?"

After getting in the car, Sloan said: "If my prediction is correct, the supermarkets of Vivendi Universal and AOL Time Warner are about to open, and they cannot be bailed out if they don't sell their core assets."

"Our own situation is not good..."

Littman's listed companies followed the bottomless Nasdaq market and seemed to have fallen into boundless darkness. In addition, the search engine company AltaVista that Song Ya bought before suffered heavy losses.

After last year's wide-spread investment, the funds in hand need to be spent wisely, "And I don't want to buy Vivendi Universal, which is tantamount to helping Bronfman out of the trap. I would rather wait for them to go bankrupt and liquidate."

"Yeah, everyone is in a bad mood." Sloan smiled and took out 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 is not good at economics, but they sincerely give tax cuts to the rich. I even got a lot of tax refunds this tax season." Sloan said triumphantly.

"ha!"

It turns out that as a senior manager, as long as you don’t consider the shrinking loss of options, your life in the stock market crash is actually very nourishing. "Speaking of which, these are all my money!" Song Ya angrily confiscated her $100, and wanted Whiplash revenge straight in the car.

"Ahaha! Don't make trouble!"

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

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

He pressed the new MJ album on the desk and suddenly sighed, then looked at the photo of the late former president Motura on the wall, and said to himself in pain: "If it were you, I would definitely not be the same as me Confused?"

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

At this time, following the failure of the assistant outside the door to block the person, 'Boom! ’ The office door was pushed open by DIVA, and Mariah Carey rushed in with pouted, "Rick! The three-year short contract is coming up again, what!? You don't plan to renew my contract?"

"You're asking too much Mimi." Rick Rubin'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 forcefully, and pressed her head close.

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

Rick Rubin was helpless, huddled in the chair aggrieved.

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

Her manager Sandy Glenn, who followed Mariah Carey in, added.

"That doesn't work either. I'm guaranteed to be fired immediately after I sign the contract."

Rick Rubin knew that the other party just wanted to get rid of Whitney Houston's 100 million contract extension, but he still couldn't and couldn't be satisfied, "A friend is a friend, a business is a business Mimi..."

"Rick, you are still my best man at the wedding, please help me. Huh?" Mariah Carey began to use softness to launch an emotional offensive.

"Let's not rush to talk about contract renewal, there is still time, I am very busy now..."

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

"Hmph! I'm so mad!"

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

"Why!"

Rick Rubin was wiping sweat profusely while staring at DIVA's twitching back and sighing. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched out his hand to the landline, but he gave up the idea when he glanced at Motura on the wall. , turned to take out Harvey Weinstein's business card, stared at the phone number on it, and hesitated left and right.

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

He couldn't make a decision, so he finally decided to flip a coin and resign himself to fate, "Heads Harvey, tails APLUS... Well, that's it!"

Find a coin and turn it on the table.

The coin spun around many times, and finally fell danglingly, with the front side, the front side up.

"Well……"

He was stunned for a while, "Forget it, no matter how shameless APLUS is, it should be more decent than Harvey, the front is APLUS." He didn't toss the second time, gritted his teeth and picked up the landline microphone, "APLUS, it's me, Rick. "

"Well, is there... is there something wrong?" came a panting voice from over there.

"What are you doing...Forget it if I didn't ask, APLUS, I heard you were also involved in...actions against MJ?" Rick Rubin asked.

"Yes, haha... Huh! I just said that this kind of thing can't be done without the cooperation of you, the president of Sony Columbia Records, what? You joined too?" If the other party knows this level of secrets, they must have participated, Song Ya laughed.

"would you like?"

"FXXK, why don't I want to? I want to get back the copyright of my songs, you know how much I care about those." Song Ya replied.

"You know the exact plan?" Rick Rubin asked.

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

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

Song Ya casually held down Sloan, who was writhing and silently complaining that he stopped moving, and the smile on his face slowly faded away...
