Chicago 1990

Chapter 1517: Long holiday

After Linton discovered that when the loyal royalist party failed to reap the expected return, he turned to him for help. The agreement that the two sides negotiated at the time was only reached today.

Linton took over as CEO in September 2005. It was not until the completion of the acquisition of A+ Entertainment in March 2007 that he really took control of Disney. In fact, people who hate him have long ago called him Eisner with bad intentions. The second, because what he did after taking office was indeed Eisner’s old style, he used high salaries and options to capture the loyalty of executives, regardless of operating conditions, insisted on high dividends to please investors, in order to buy Robert Egger and Starr as soon as possible. Gus and other political enemies left, Disney paid a huge'breakup fee', almost a replay of the script that Eisner drove out Katzenberg and Ovitz back then.

He succeeded in getting rid of the A+ entertainment company, which had already eaten up apocalyptic dividends, at a high premium, and protected the safety of cash cows in the recording industry, thereby becoming the largest individual shareholder of Disney in one fell swoop, and completed the remote control through the alliance with Linton. The power in the media and entertainment industry has reached a new level.

This can no longer be described as breaking the ceiling, but climbing directly to the ceiling.

But for myself, I was very tired by the Disney Civil War that lasted for three years.

On the one hand, Linton’s personal ability is very strong. Most of the specific tasks are done by him, or he coordinates first, and then he will accompany him to eat with the target person, play golf and socialize with the target person, help him to endorse the platform or smash it. You don't need to pay full attention to buying money.

All parties in the struggle maintained a fairly high bottom line. The worst incident was that Iger bought the then Chief Financial Officer Staggs and threatened Linton by exposing financial fraud. His own reputation, other businesses, and personal safety were insecure. Need to worry.

The big media most hostile to itself: FoxNews did not take the opportunity to get involved, because there happened to be caught up in an infighting dispute between the head of the family Roger Ayres and the second son of the boss Murdoch James, and there was no time to start a war with his own.

On the other hand, winning this civil war is indeed too difficult and thrilling. Goldman Sachs, Eisner, Jobs, Roy Disney and even Iger, George Mitchell, Katzenberg...the enemy’s resources, energy, and methods are all top-notch. , I must maintain high-intensity concentration and vigilance at all times.

If it weren't for the United States' infinite expectations and pursuit of opening up the Chinese market, in fact, it would not have won this time, so for the past three years...especially in the first two years of the civil war, I have been imagining and hating the outcome of failure.

At the same time, temporary failure is not completely unacceptable. After all, I am still young and can afford to wait. However, the intensity of the game of no ups and downs and no lack of retreat leads to hesitation, self-doubt, uncertainty, and dilemma...

In addition, it has to take into account the businesses of 3DFX, Palm, Litman Media and their respective competitors, and the competition among industry giants. In the past three years, Disney has involved too much energy...

torment.

Fortunately, I finally tasted the joy of victory.

"boss."

Private lawyer Song Zecheng reported: "George Mitchell intends to resign as chairman of Disney and retire to concentrate on fighting cancer."

"Linton, what's your opinion?"

"Linton doesn't want to change. It is better for him to keep George Mitchell, who has no intention of fighting for power, as the chairman, as long as George Mitchell no longer supports Katzenberg."

Song Zecheng replied: "He thinks that if he loses his chairmanship now, he will attract more criticism."

"Yes, we just need to support him."

In the one and a half years since Linton became CEO in September 2005, there was actually a possibility that he would kill the donkey and get rid of it when he took advantage of it. The other parties have not given up on drawing up and separating. After completing the A+ Entertainment transaction and becoming the largest individual shareholder, Song Ya completely let go of his worries.

The alliance that can safely hand over the back to the other side can ensure the long-term stability of their respective positions.

Song Yalue made a decision.

Then, he took off his shirt, shook off his slippers, and walked out of the holiday hut with only a pair of big beach pants. The sand baked by the hot sun in the South Pacific ironed the soles of his feet very comfortably.

"Huh!" He faced the sea, did a few chest expansion exercises, took a deep breath, and sighed comfortably.

It's time to give yourself a big vacation.

In addition to the need to rest physically and mentally, Michelle's senator husband announced his participation in the general election a few days ago, which is also the reason that prompted him to hide far away in the small islands of the South Pacific.

Support, he naturally gave the Michele and his wife full support, but the reaction of the Arkansas dynasty, which is bound to win this election, was unpredictable.

The Arkansas dynasty has always been ruthless against those who stand in their way, and Harvey, who is close to them, has been kicked out of Disney by Linton, and said that he has no worries in his heart.

During the second term of the Arkansas dynasty, they marginalized the Chicagoans who had lost their use value. The former first lady who was preparing to participate in the general election went to New York to become a senator and formed an alliance with the New Yorkers. One of the main allies, the Wall Street Sheriff Pitzer is now the governor of New York State. Even if she wins the election, Chicagoans still won't get much benefit.

So the Chicago Gang decided to take out a family.

The Daly dynasty naturally supported Michelle’s husband. Underwood was also active in the impeachment case but was not repaid by the Arkansas dynasty. Most other Chicago dignitaries followed the Daly dynasty and Underwood.

However, the Arkansas dynasty controlled the political and judicial systems of the two major stock exchanges and deterred tycoons like itself too much. Last year, the Donkey Party regained both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Back down.

Although they met Michelle at the end of the day and had a very good relationship, Song Ya could only continue with the double-headed snake strategy. The black politician of the Manhattan Gang, David Patterson, served as the lieutenant governor under Spitzer, and the Arkansas dynasty also needed it. The Manhattan Gang gets black votes, and this relationship should be enough to protect itself.

That's it for now.

Song Ya squinted, found the black pearl lying on the beach basking in the sun, and smiled from the heart.

"Hey."

Halle Berry felt someone sitting next to him, and after seeing him clearly, he blocked the sky and propped up his body.

"Hey." The two kissed naturally.

Halle’s figure is still in perfect condition, but she was considered an elderly woman when she gave birth to Asha. With type 1 diabetes, some vitality will eventually leave her forever, and she was filmed for fashion magazines or advertisers. The still photos made up and decorated by PS and other means are different from those in the movie. From a close point of view, time has left traces ruthlessly on her face, corners of her eyes and skin, and she has become more gentle and haggard. .

But Song Ya loves her even more, even when the two get along, she will never be'brotherly bitch' again...

"Um."

Hallie also felt the sincere and affection he burst out, so she put her arms around his neck and wrapped her body.

"Don't look over there." Song Ya said suddenly.

"What…"

On the edge of the woods far away from the beach, a cannon-like lens surreptitiously sticks out. It has been jointly acquired by Litman Media and Disney. The paparazzi of the Romp website, which is transformed into entertainment gossip, will hold the shutter and will not let go.

"I don't like your website."

The two were not ready to be photographed doing errands on the beach. Hallie suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed a handful. After learning about his intentions, she covered her body with a towel underneath and walked to the beach hut.

"What website?"

"Romp, it was Pomp and TMZ who photographed Britney's shaved head not long ago, right?"

"Yes, in fact, strictly speaking, that is not ‘my website’." Song Ya replied.

"Britney is a bit miserable." Hallie was more sympathetic to Britney, who was forced to act out of order by the tabloid.

"She mingled with topical actresses like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. It is inevitable to receive this kind of treatment."

The two chatted about the American sweetheart who had experienced flash marriages, flash divorces, pregnancy and childbirth. Not long ago, because Britney was refused to visit her son, Britney had a mental breakdown. She ran to the hair salon and asked the barber to shave herself in front of the paparazzi. A bald head.

Song Ya said: "She is so popular, and there are works that have fans who love her. Actually, there is no need to follow the black and red route that seeks high exposure. Not everyone can afford to play, and can withstand the private life without blind spots being exposed. It’s also smart enough like Madonna and Paris Hilton. Britney and Lindsay Lohan are both stupid and belong to the kind of playing with themselves."

"You look at things from a high angle. Sometimes girls simply like the life that is always watched by the public from the beginning. When they realize their mistakes, media tycoons like you should give them a chance."

Hallie asked: "I heard that she will be sent to a rehabilitation center and terminated by the company. Will you let Warner Records take her in?"

"Take it in? Halle, don't overemphasize sympathy, Sony BMG won't terminate the contract with her."

The ability to print money declined again, and was spurned by fans again. Britney Spears, who was once popular all over the world, can still bring huge income to record companies. Every one of the singers and dancing stars who was promoted by the youth pop trend is by the record company, the management team, and the people around them. People are'protected' very well, and the schedule is always full. Their lives are more like the kind of models who are strictly guarded by a brokerage company. The time to eat youth meals is limited, so they must try their best in the limited time. To squeeze out their highest value, their autonomy is quite limited.

Over the years, Song Ya has only met Britney a few times at the award ceremony and other occasions, without any overlap.

"Britney! Britney!"

At the same time, somewhere in Hollywood, three or five paparazzi "caught" Britney and his party walking towards the car. They rushed over and stimulated with various words, "When will you enter the rehabilitation center? Will you change? Do you still love your ex-husband? Did they let you watch the baby?"

The new professional digital camera alone can create the machine gun shutter effect of a group of people before. The paparazzi trot and chased while shooting. A Pomp paparazzi accidentally ran into TMZ's colleague, and the TMZ man pushed him. When he opened, he punched back with his backhand. Seeing that the full martial arts was about to be staged, Britney suddenly took out an umbrella from the opened car door, met him from the front, and pointed the **** to the camera.

The paparazzi were immediately excited, no longer entangled in the skirmish just now, and focused on shooting.

Britney cursed and hit them with an umbrella.

The paparazzi are so happy, the adrenaline rushes, this time is another big news, wishing to be hit by her.

The bodyguard quickly pulled Britney back into the car, and the paparazzi tirelessly surrounded them again. Romp and TMZ paparazzi knelt directly on the wet road in the rain on one leg, and the camera shamelessly aimed at the bottom of Britney's skirt.

"I'm dying, I'm dying."

In the South Pacific, Halle wailed and broke free of entanglement.

"What are you doing?" Song Ya kissed her delicate and smooth back, and found that she took out her mobile phone and was sending a text message, "Taking pictures?!" After being fiddled with by Amanda Benis, he is now a bit PTSD.

After being blocked, Amanda gave birth to a boy named Ailin. The DNA test was indeed his, and it seemed that he had inherited the birth defects of the Amanda family. He temporarily did not recognize it and did not want to show it to Amanda and Amanda’s wonderful parents. Opportunity for blackmail.

"Calling Lima over," Hallie said.

"It's hard to live in the two-person world..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay."

"Oh, Halle..." Song Ya hugged her very moved.

"Britney hits the reporter with an umbrella? Of course it has to be in the headlines and posted immediately."

Romp website CEO Eric Eisner is teaching his men, "You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing in the future, just send the manuscript directly, we must be faster than TMZ!"

"OK, how about APLUS and Halle Berry kissing at the beach?"

He clicked on the photos sent back by a line of paparazzi, "There are cool photos of Halle."

"Also." Eric glanced and praised, "Halle Berry's figure is well maintained, isn't she forty years old?"

"Yes. But this... okay?"

"It's okay, I said hello to APLUS, but they can't enjoy the headline treatment anymore." Eric replied with a smile.

"The Virginia Tech shooting case has the latest development!" Another subordinate hurried in to report.

"Not Chinese?"

"No, it's a Silla...not counted as a Silla, a Silla, the gunman still holds the Silla nationality."

On April 16, 2007, a gunman named Seung-HuiCho committed one of the most tragic shootings in the history of the United States. He killed 33 people and wounded more than 10 people before raising a gun and committing suicide.

Because the gunman is an East Asian face, many U.S. media outlets report that they are of Chinese descent, and people who come to the U.S. when they come to, and wherever they are, they have noses and eyes.

Song Ya, who was on vacation, also learned of the incident, "Zhao Chengxi? All right, it's fine, let our media clarify as soon as possible." He told Song Zecheng.

The whole nation of Silla, who learned that the killer was a native of the country, mourned, apologized, and prayed for the dead in the U.S., from the commander to the people, mourning more than the U.S. nationals.

"This... is a bit past, right? I went to the United States at the age of ten and received most of the education in the United States."

Song Ya frowned and said, "Forget it, the colony is not easy."

Silicon Valley, in Apple's R&D department, the three founders of 3FDX are busy at their desks.

"As for?! Rose!" Former 3DFX CTO Scott suddenly furious.

"Ha ha!"

"Grab my parking space at three in the morning and steal my garden! Why are you so idle!" The three of them were playing a small game in the new OpenDiary community.

"Hehe..." Rose smirked triumphantly.

"He set the alarm clock."

"Oh! You are so boring Rose."

At this time, the head of the HR department walked in, accompanied by the executives of the R&D department, "Everyone." The head of HR gave the trio of crazy fish at work, but didn't say anything. He slapped everyone's attention to the past. "Everyone, I want to deliver a sad news. We have decided to adjust the staff of the GPU department. Please come into that office when you are called. Thank you for your cooperation!"

"Steve is very dissatisfied with the self-developed GPU used on the first-generation iPhone. He was furious with the heat problem and decided to dissolve your department. Sorry, Ross, everyone doesn't want to do this." Said a Rose who called in.

"no."

Rose was a bolt from the blue, "Then you...what about our new products next year? My work is already..."

"Steve decided to use products from third-party manufacturers, just like CPUs."

"Which one?"

"3DFX..."

"WTF?!" Rose was angry, "Didn't our Emperor have an enmity with APLUS?!"

"What hate? Don't talk nonsense, I warn you!"

The HR boss denied that, “Combined, 3DFX’s quotation is more reasonable, and their previous technical accumulation of the PowerVR chip also makes their new low-power products more suitable for use in the mobile phone environment.”

"Don't tell me that the iPhone will use the same chip as Palm." Ross is still very clear about the industry's technological trends. "What about the competition?"

"We have just entered this industry. Palm is also facing fierce competition. Let's kill other manufacturers before talking." HR boss replied.

Rose had nothing to say, took out a cardboard box from under the seat, and stuffed personal belongings into it silently.

"Oh!" The other two brothers sighed when they saw this, and went to look for the cardboard box.

"Yes... because of work to grab a parking space?" Scott asked the three brothers when they walked out of the R&D building.

"No." Rose lowered his head, which was just high.

"Where shall we go next?"

"Go back to each house! Damn!"

"Oh, Adriana, Adriana..."

After Lima came, life was monotonous and wonderful, Song Ya hid in the South Pacific and did not want to return to the United States.

"That's it, don't rush to make a deal, I want the best price."

In Montreal, Canada, the young Bronfman, who had just attended his father’s funeral, immediately recruited people from the Art Appraisal and Auction Trust Company and entrusted all the paintings in his home.

"Little Edgar, your father told us before he left..." The veteran family member hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, I won't be the same as before."

Little Bronfman picked up his phone while signing, "Doug, haha, can you tell who I am?"

"Mr. Bronfman?" Warner Records CEO Doug Morris asked hesitantly on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, my father passed away."

"I heard, please be sorry..."

"I noticed that my family still owns a small amount of shares in Warner Music. I want to come back. What do you think?"

"Come back? That seems...impossible." Doug refused stiffly.

"Don't think too much, if you are worthy of cooperation, I will also challenge the seat of the board of directors. Warner Records has been making huge losses, right? I know that shareholders are very dissatisfied." Little Bronfman said.

"impossible."

"Don't always say it's impossible, it looks like you're scared."

Young Bronfman decisively puts pressure on him. In recent years, he thinks he has matured a lot. Years of actual house arrest has also made him act more calmly and patiently. This call is the result of careful consideration. Any response from the other party will have a back-up. Prepared, "Don't worry, business is business. I know I am no longer qualified to fight APLUS, but the interests of the Bronfman family in Warner Records must be guaranteed. You drove Madonna away for his ex-wife? Doug, this It’s not what sane operators should do. Many shareholders agree with me.”

"Not afraid, maybe you don't know Mr. Bronfman, Mr. APLUS is planning to privatize Warner Records..."

"private…"

Thousands of calculations, the little Bronfman did not calculate this, and his brain suddenly got stuck.

"Hahaha! Welcome Anders!"

However, life on the island will inevitably be boring after a long time. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Song Ya began to call friends, he is the youngest son of Eisner who just got off the yacht, and Anders Eisner, the performance champion of the No. 1 investment bank in New Jersey Prepared a grand party, "This glass of wine toast our genius!" I did not expect that in order to please the second generation route taken by the Disney emperor, a financial derivatives trading genius, a super money printing machine, was introduced, and he led everyone with enthusiasm. Raise the wine glass.

"thanks."

After spending a lot of effort to keep Anders on the island, his eyes rolled around, "Is this your secret base, APLUS?"

"Haha! Think of it." Song Ya bought this island as a gift to Hallie.

"Hoho..."

Anders was so excited that he rubbed his hands and blinked his eyes and hinted, "Take me to see it?"

"Insight? Oh..."

Song Ya hugged him affectionately: "Let's visit the guest room specially prepared for you first."

"boss."

After visiting the whole island, Anders became depressed. Song Ya was at a loss. He was dragged to a secluded place by Song Zecheng, "Mr. Madoff has been asking when your money will go back."

"Emm...the cash is sitting there for now."

But Song Ya didn't want to be foolish. He had promised Madoff when he withdrew money. Besides, putting the spare money in Madoff was indeed stable and profitable, "Next year, let him rest assured, I won't fail to speak credit."

"Okay, yes, Amelio is looking for you." Song Zecheng handed the phone.

"APLUS, New Century Financial Corporation just filed for bankruptcy protection." Amelio reported.
