Redstone has nothing to hesitate. Just kidding, Universal has the financial resources of Phantom and has developed comprehensively in recent years. It has not only seriously hit the film business of major companies, but also gradually threatened the TV market of major companies. From any angle
, he has absolutely no reason to like Xiao Ran: "I admit that it was a mistake to form an alliance with Universal four years ago, and I want to have a chance to make up for it!"
"I..." Pierce, the leader of the Mafia family, couldn't laugh. He had long wanted to do something to the Phantom. MGM's performance had always been mediocre, and in recent years, it had been even more messed up by the Phantom.
, has already started to lose money last year. Under such circumstances, he obviously will not make other choices: "I don't like it! I don't like it very much."
Both Turner and Michael couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. They really relied on Pierce to do this. They are law-abiding American citizens. Michael looked at everyone here seriously, which was far different from his usual publicity: "
Now Turner and I have the means to plunge Phantom into an internal crisis, and if we can join forces, we can definitely put pressure on Universal and Charisma Pictures!"
"What is the solution?" After all, Nobuyuki Idei couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked the question first: "I think it is unlikely that the Phantom Company will have any problems that can shake this empire if it reaches the point where it is today!"
Michael couldn't help but smile proudly. He gradually felt that the 10 million paid by Disney was worth it: "You don't need to ask, as long as you cooperate with our actions when the time comes!"
"Wait a minute!" Redstone immediately realized something was wrong: "If you want Paramount to cooperate, it won't be easy. You have to know that Universal is now Paramount's second largest shareholder. What will we do once
, it’s impossible not to inform Universal about this!”
"Yes, Universal also controls some equity interests in Columbia. If they are not notified, they will be sued!" Nobuyuki Idei's expression immediately became serious, even though he was already very serious.
"I think that's not important!" Michael laughed loudly. He didn't want other companies to join forces to do something, but needed such a lineup: "The important thing is that we are an alliance now. After Phantom exits Hollywood
The alliance that has always existed before, that’s enough!”
Murdoch immediately understood that such a huge camp can do a lot of things. He can use this to threaten the five major theaters not to show Universal and Phantom films, otherwise they will cut off their film sources, which can affect the camp of the filmmakers.
, it’s okay – influence policy!
The meeting was over, but Turner and Michael hadn't left yet. They called out to old Pierce. This was the key to the meeting. Pierce felt slightly strange and turned his head to look at the two old guys before returning to his seat.
Sit down: "Is there anything else you haven't told yet?"
"Mr. Pierce is indeed very wise. He can tell right away that we still have something to do!" Turner's smile is always irresistible, but it seems too commercial: "You know, there is one thing, we need your strength.
."
Because Turner emphasized the word "power", Pierce immediately realized that this was referring to the family power behind him, and was slightly shocked. Like Hong Kong, Hollywood also doesn't like gangsters, although sometimes it is really unavoidable.
Especially for rich people like Turner and Michael, who are worth over a billion dollars, they definitely don't like gangsters very much.
Michael always showed extraordinary respect for Pierce, the mafia leader. He didn't want to be shot to death as soon as he went out, although he knew that Pierce was not that stupid: "Mr. Pierce, you know, this
It can’t be done without you!”
Pierce remained calm, he wanted to get a vote from this. Turner obviously guessed his psychology, and quickly added: "This has a very important connection with the survival of MGM. I think we are on the same side."
Camp.”
"Oh... do you mean the Phantom?" Pierce is older, but this does not mean that he is confused, and he quickly contacted the meeting just now.
Michael didn't say anything. Turner looked at the confused Pierce with a smile: "Mr. Pierce, I think someone will take the initiative to find you about this matter. It will be an Oriental. I hope you will not reject him. The relationship is very important."
It’s important, whether you can defeat the Phantom depends on this step!”
Tie Long, who was waiting for Pierce's arrival at the MGM studio, was very depressed. He didn't expect that he would be tricked by Turner, a treacherous old fox. Turner, that old bastard, wanted to completely blame this matter on him.
Even if it breaks out, the clues will only be cut off here, and Turner and Michael will not be implicated.
If these two old bastards want to harm him, he will never let go. As the saying goes, you will be in the first year of junior high school and I will be in the fifteenth. Tie Long doesn't care anymore. If he gets the money, it will be no problem. Fortunately, it seems that there is no chance of it happening.
If he was implicated, he would never be so brainless when working in the mafia.
However, he has always been a little doubtful. He thinks that Yi Xiao Ran's character of making decisions before acting has no reason to let himself fall into such a predicament. Moreover, since he is fighting with international speculators, Yi Xiao Ran's vigorous and resolute methods
, there is really no reason to delay it for so long.
To put it simply, he suspected that there was a conspiracy. However, no matter what traces he looked at, no one was stupid enough to use this as a bait. In any case, he gave up the idea, which seemed to be too much.
As soon as Pierce entered the company, he saw the Chinese man who had been walking around. He immediately remembered what Turner and Michael had told him and waved to the bodyguard beside him, who immediately went to bring Tie Long to him.
Pierce looked carefully at this ordinary-looking young man: "Are you here to find me?"
Tie Long nodded heavily and scolded Turner once again in his stomach. When he arrived at the office, Pierce closed the door and then stared at Tie Long and said, "Now, you can tell me why you're here!"
"It's very simple. If we want to deal with the Phantom Group, as long as something happens to Wei Dongling, Xiao Ran will not be able to do anything, and the Phantom Group will definitely fall into internal chaos!" Tie Long said very carefully to avoid being caught in the future.
handle.
Pierce frowned slightly, wondering what kind of person Wei Dongling was that could be so highly regarded by Turner and Michael. Obviously, he did not understand the importance of Wei Dongling in Phantom. Tie Long took the trouble to explain to him, Pierce
It suddenly dawned on me.
After some calculations, he thought that this deal was obviously not a good deal. Wei Dongling was an important figure, and if something happened, it would not be as simple as killing an ant. For this reason, he talked with Turner and Michael
After a while, several deals were finally concluded.
The benefit that Turner and Michael gave to Pierce, or perhaps rather to MGM, was very simple, which was to jointly produce films, help MGM get out of the trough, and MGM could also take the opportunity to launder money. As for Iron Dragon, of course he left.
June 30th is very important, both for Xiao Ran's opponents and Xiao Ran himself. Not long after he got up on this day, Lin Qingxia personally made breakfast for him. She stared at Xiao Ran devouring the food and couldn't help laughing: "
Is it really that delicious?”
"Of course it's delicious. Everything you cook is so delicious!" Xiao Ran laughed. He was not shy at all. He glanced at the two little guys who were making trouble on the side: "Xiao Qing, Xiao Ling, eat the breakfast made by mom.
!”
Xiao Qing was afraid of Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ling was afraid of Lin Qingxia. This pair of children was really interesting. After the family had breakfast happily, Xiao Ran kissed the two children, then looked at his wife and smiled: "Today
It’s very important, you’ll probably come back very late, wait for me!”
Lin Qingxia nodded slightly. She could guess what Xiao Ran was going to do today. Yesterday, Phantom only had 10 billion working capital left. Today they must use this money to resist the attacks of international speculators and safeguard Hong Kong and even the whole world.
Asia's interests.
"I'm waiting for you. I believe you will definitely win!" Lin Qingxia took a step forward and hugged Xiao Ran gently. At this moment, she suddenly felt as if she had returned to the time when she was passionately in love with Xiao Ran, in Xiao Ran's arms.
She can experience a sense of security and indescribable confidence in her body.
Xiao Ran sniffed the fragrance of his hair. He was confident to protect this family and Hong Kong. At least he knew that he should atone for the initial capital he earned in the stock market. Now he is making up for the past.
"Dad, I want to go with you!" Xiao Ling'er kept scanning her parents' faces with her big eyes. She didn't understand the expressions on her parents' faces and eyes, but she suddenly wanted to follow her.
Dad went with her. She liked the environment that day.
The couple were stunned and then laughed. Xiao Ran did not refuse Xiao Ling'er's proposal. He even asked Xiao Qing if he wanted to go. Unfortunately, Xiao Qing obviously didn't like that kind of environment. Before leaving, Xiao Ran looked at Lin deeply.
Qingxia glanced at her: "Remember, you and your parents are not going anywhere today, just stay at home!"
After Lin Qingxia nodded, Xiao Ran grinned, hugged her daughter and left. Looking at Xiao Ran's back, Lin Qingxia had a strange feeling. She felt that Xiao Ran was sure of victory this time.
When they came to the car, they saw Guangguang, Monkey, and Zhang Yan squatting on the ground eating sandwiches. They looked extremely miserable. However, they had known each other for a while, and they were becoming more and more familiar with each other.
.
"You are so ridiculous. With such a high salary, you are still here eating breakfast!" Xiao Ran felt dumbfounded. Looking at the four of them, they looked like the bodyguards of the richest man. They looked like they were so poor that they were ready to rob a bank at any time.
of gangsters.
Zhang Yan and Liu Xi stood up as soon as they saw Xiao Ran. Habits die hard. On the other hand, Guangguang and Monkey slowly stood up and looked at Xiao Ran and Xiao Ling'er with smiles. "Brother Ran, we are poor people. If we can save, we will save."
!Isn’t that right, Xiao Ling’er?”
"You are not poor!" Xiao Ling'er was put down by Xiao Ran, made a cute face to Sunshine and Monkey, and then got into the car quickly, making Sunshine and Monkey couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Yan and Liu Xi drove a BMW ahead, and Xiao Ran got into Sunshine and Monkey's car. When they arrived at the company, Xiao Ran took Xiao Ling'er's hand and entered the lobby accompanied by Sunshine and the others.
On the road, I only heard Mr. Xiao’s shout.
After going straight upstairs, Xiao Ran came to the office and asked Xiao Ling'er to play alone before starting the processing work. After browsing the business information collected by Lin Yongqiang, Xiao Ran gradually fell into deep thought.
Murdoch officially launched an acquisition of the North American company yesterday. According to the usual practice, Phantom should respond today. However, because Phantom is in a difficult period these days, it should delay for a while and launch a sniper attack on Murdoch in the afternoon.
Gram's acquisition.
Wait! Xiao Ran soon discovered something was wrong. It was not because of Murdoch, but because the heads of the six major Hollywood companies all met yesterday. Why did they have to meet? And at this time? Xiao Ran thought hard.
With.
Of course he could imagine the reason for the meeting, of course it was to deal with Phantom or Universal. But what Xiao Ran wanted to understand was how those companies planned to deal with him? After thinking about it, Xiao Ran gradually smiled, thinking about it
It's nothing more than doing some tricks in distribution and other aspects.
At half past nine, Xiao Ran took Xiao Ling'er to Fang Xiaoqiang's command room, where everyone was busy. Fang Xiaoqiang came to Xiao Ran, scratched his head strangely and said, "It's weird.
, Soros actually didn’t make any movement, I guess he wants to play a big game. If we don’t have the funds this time, it will be really doomed!”
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, waved to Fang Xiaoqiang, and whispered something in his ear. Fang Xiaoqiang's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Xiao Ran dumbfounded: "Brother Ran, you... how can this be allowed!"
"Why not?" Xiao Ran turned to look at Fang Xiaoqiang, who was stunned: "This is the strategy, strategic need, we must create such a situation!"
There was basically no movement in the financial and stock markets in the morning. It was as if the phantom and the international speculators had all disappeared, leaving only a few small shrimps floating around. Most people thought that the international speculators had finally retreated under the attack of the phantom.
He almost stopped shouting wildly.
However, for the small group of well-informed people, they are very doubtful about this. International speculators and Phantom have been fighting hard these days, and Phantom has also lost a lot of money. It is obviously impossible for both parties to stop fighting like this.
The only possibility is that both sides are brewing a war...
Thinking of this, many people began to feel excited. It is definitely rare to see two of the world's top and most famous speculators in a bloody confrontation in their lifetime.
Just when there were only two minutes left before the market closed, the numbers on the electronic screen suddenly jumped a few times. Everyone in the exchange saw it. The mysterious funds started a round of selling again. However, they never expected it.
This time it was much more violent than before.
Because of this round of selling, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar has dropped a lot, and Phantom has not taken any orders at all. Many people thought that Phantom was too late, and they were all confident that Phantom would take action in the afternoon.
