750. Chapter 750 Game 750 Major League Compromise
Listening to Todd Hardy's orders, Cannon, who had the figure of a football player, could only hold back his anger and move two chairs into the living room, making Cork glaring at him with dissatisfaction.
"Don't be upset Canon," Hardy looked at Canon with anger and smiled: "Do you know if you know how much year-on-year the profits of the major league have increased since Director Lee came to our major league?"
"I don't know...I'm not responsible for one of the data." Canon immediately seemed a little embarrassed.
"Year-year growth increased by 24.1 percent." Paramount's president, Redonstone, intercepted, which surprised both Cork and Canon. Cork couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in surprise: "There are so many..."
"Yes, if I hadn't seen these data last year myself, I wouldn't have thought of it." Todd Hardy sighed and turned to look at Canon and said, "Now you should know that it's not unfair to bring a stool to Director Lee."
Canon lowered his head and said speechlessly. Todd Hardy turned to look at Tom Cruise and smiled, "Tom, do you remember, when was the last time you came here?"
Tom Cruise immediately became nervous, thought for a while before whispering: "It seems that 1987... Oh my God, 20 years have passed." Tom Cruise said, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
"No, it should have been 21 years, November 1986." Todd Hardy smiled and turned to look at Redon Stone and said:
"Redongshi, do you still remember that you were just a West Coast regional manager. At that time, you brought Tom over and promised me that this young man would become Paramount's top star. You begged me all day long and asked me to contact theaters and other companies so that his movies would not be too motivated to compete when they were released... Your vision is indeed good. Tom is really great and has not disappointed your cultivation..."
Hearing this, Tom Cruise and Redonshi, the couple who had fallen out, couldn't help but look at each other, recalling the honeymoon period when the two of them worked together... I felt a little touched.
Yes, over the years, the development of the major alliance has been achieved today through their joint cooperation, and it is not a single contribution to any aspect...
Although Todd Hardy only said a few words, Li Xiaole already felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The old man unknowingly brought the relationship between the two sides closer. The strong hostility between the two sides seemed to be almost unable to feel it now.
At this time, Tom Cruise couldn't help but turn around and pull Li Xiaole to sit down. He is a person who values feelings. Thinking of the past few years, the Major League will no longer want to fight for the development of Hollywood and his personal support. He cannot gamble for himself and drag down the entire Hollywood...
Seeing the two sitting down, Todd Hardy's eyes turned to Cork and Canon again, and his tone became serious again:
"All industries are ultimately about making money for investors. This is understandable. Let's talk about you. In the several turbulences at MGM, if it weren't for Cork's financial resources, this century-old company would have collapsed long ago. But if you wanted to make money, you used the wrong method. You shouldn't have been sure to cheat the interests of new investors by hollowing out the trap, and make the MGM stall so messy... "
Speaking of this, Todd Hardy turned to Li Xiaole with a glance and sighed:
"You have to thank Director Lee. If it weren't for his acquisition of Lianmei, which is now Lianmei Black Pearl, MGM would have been declining. Now, at least on the books, MGM is already the fourth largest company in the major league." Speaking of this, Todd Hardy sighed to his old friend Cork and said:
"Cock, it's time for you to let go. It's time for you to hand over MGM to the young man. I've already negotiated with the Japanese on Sony. You can hand over both equity and debt."
Hearing this sentence, Cork and Canon changed their qualities on the spot. Unexpectedly, the chairman of the major league turned against each other. The expression on Cork's face became distorted and he snorted angrily:
“MGM’s debt and equity are my private property and are not related to other people’s affairs, and others have no right to instruct me to make any changes in equity.”
Although MGM has become an empty shell because of the growth of Black Pearl, MGM, as the parent company, also has 5% of Black Pearl's annual equity dividend and the priority acquisition right of Black Pearl. Once Black Pearl falls into an economic crisis in the future, then Cork can still purchase Black Pearl first. This is all the hidden worries of Black Pearl. Todd Hardy's words made the old fox Cork give up all his backs. How could he agree?
Even Tom Cruise was stunned, and he didn't expect Todd Hardy to say that...
Todd Hardy's face was still very plain. She turned around and searched through the pile of documents on the table, then flipped out a few documents and handed them to Cork: "You can take a look at it yourself."
"What are you looking at~!" Cork's face was full of anger, and his silver hair seemed to stand up. He didn't expect his old friend to be so heartless, but when he saw those documents, his face immediately changed.
"Oh, I didn't want to show you these things." Todd Hardy sighed and said, "This is some evidence that you used MGM to deliberately trap other countries' capital in the past thirty years, and then forced the company to go bankrupt and make profits through debt resale... I know that with your ability, even if these things are handed over to the court, it will not have any impact on you, but I think it seems that it is time to announce this matter now..."
When Cork heard this, he was stunned. No one knew better than him. He mastered media resources across the United States. With these things, although he might not be able to defeat himself legally, it would be too simple if he wanted to destroy his reputation in the business world... Not to mention anything else, once this scandal was released through his influence, even if the fluctuations in the stock price of his hotel and casinos were just a devastating blow to his own business...
Thinking of this, Cork shook his whole body a few times, and nodded in pain as if he was a few years older: "Okay... let's do what you said..."
When Canon next to him heard this, his eyes turned red and he shouted in an almost hysterical voice: "Cock~! Why~! We can't do this! I've been struggling for ten years~! This is all that is left!"
"Shut up! You idiot!!" Cork roared like an angry lion, as if the whole room was shaken slightly by his roar. Canon was stunned by the roar. He suddenly realized that from now on, his father-in-law had been completely driven out of the Hollywood League...
There was a silence in the room, and everyone was shocked by Todd Hardy's decisive thunderous means. Even Redonshi, who had control of Paramount and Viaham Group, was sweating coldly in his heart, and he clearly felt that Todd Hardy's invisible hand was in control of the fate of all of them... he could drive anyone out anytime and anywhere.
"Tom, do you know how much output value has been lost in the entire Hollywood during this strike of the three major unions?" Todd Hardy looked at Tom Cruise and sighed, but his eyes were looking at Li Xiaole.
"I don't know..." Tom Cruise had already been frightened by the scene just now and responded with a stuttering stutter.
"2.78 billion, the strike has lost 2.78 billion US dollars..." Todd Hardy looked at Li Xiaole with emotion and shook her head: "This is equivalent to the profit created by the three "Pi Fantasy Drift"... It is also the number that your Black Pearl Company has doubled the growth it brings to the entire alliance."
Tom Cruise immediately broke out in cold sweat, and she didn't know what to say. At this time, Todd Hardy found another copy from the messy documents on the desktop and handed it to Tom Cruise, and said deeply:
"It's time for us to end this disaster. Look, this is a new contract between the Major League and the three major unions, and a plan for your Black Pearl Company to cooperate with the Major League in the future. I hope these can calm us down."
Tom Cruise took the documents and immediately handed them to Li Xiaole. The two of them looked through the documents together. After reading them, they became more and more surprised. The conditions given by the Major League this time were very generous. Not only did they increase the new media of the three major unions from 2% to 4.5%, they were also willing to immediately terminate the lawsuit with the Black Pearl Company Avengers. What is even more surprising is that the contract also promised that the Black Pearl Company could openly use all the Marvel heroes in the Avengers, even the "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" series exclusively by Warner~!
At the same time, the major leagues also guarantee that in the future, as long as the movies of Black Pearl are released, the six major theaters will provide the greatest support for the release. This is simply great news for Black Pearl~!!
You should know that Black Pearl Company is not only a magical figure like Li Xiaole who can create miracles with 1,000 screens, but also many ordinary videos to be released. Without the support of the six major theaters, the development of Black Pearl Company will always have bottlenecks, which will hinder the suppression of theaters. Then Black Pearl may compete with giants like Warner in the future~!
The more I looked at Tom Cruise, the more excited he became. He turned his head and looked at Li Xiaole with great anticipation and nodded fiercely, indicating that he must agree to this condition! This contract is simply too cost-effective for them!
Just when Cork and Cannon looked at Li Xiaole indignantly and everyone thought he would nod and agree, Li Xiaole unexpectedly handed the contract back to Todd Hardy's hand and shook his head calmly:
"No, this contract is far from our expectations, and I think the major leagues need to give up more benefits."
When he said this, not only Cork, Canon, and Redonshi were stunned, but even Tom Cruise was stunned. What does it mean? He was not satisfied with such good conditions!? What else did he want!?
Chapter completed!
