America’s Big Hero

Chapter 218 The New Movie Katzenberg (Including Adding 515 for the Leader 'qiz') Asking for a Monthly Ticket

(I'm sorry, I copied it wrong in a daze, and I have to rush the manuscript these days and take care of the children. It's really annoying to catch a cold at this time...)

Norris has nothing to do.

He participated in the whole process of the last film release, but Sean simply refused to let him participate in "Instinct" and "Die Hard".

Harvey is operating the whole process.

And now Pete Chernin is back in charge.

Of course, Norris didn't dare to complain, he was afraid of being beaten, and he knew that he was not capable in this area, but he didn't want to fall out of favor.

Therefore, he can only use his strengths...

Seeing that Sean was in a bad mood, Norris took out a video tape he had prepared a long time ago.

"Christmas in the Jungle" is an English film, but Sean, the company with the opening title, has never seen it before, and then the plot unfolds in Australia. Sean didn't notice it at first, but when the heroine appeared a few minutes later, Sean sat slowly. straight body.

Leaning forward, staring at one of the heroines on TV, Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing Sean's appearance, Norris clenched his fists, it's done!

He knew that the boss liked this kind of young, beautiful, and good-looking people.

In order to let the boss see it clearly, this guy simply arranged for someone to re-edit the video tape. After ten minutes, it was all part of one of the heroines. Although this made the plot messy, but...

Sean frowned.

The ghost is interested in watching some shit plot, obviously, Norris knows Sean.

In the end, the screen turned into various photos of the heroine, with subtitles on the side,

Name: Nicole Kidman

Age: 19

Born: Hawaii

Nationality: Australia

Education: Graduated from high school

Height: 175

Debut: 2 years

"It really is the big white girl from Australia!" Sean clicked his tongue, and the original gloom on his face was swept away.

After all, when a serious man sees a young, beautiful, and well-figured girl, his mood will improve.

Nicole Kidman is called Australia's Big White Girl because she has an unusually white complexion, is tall, has fiery red hair, and has a strong and independent personality.

Well, it's my favorite type!

Stretching out his hand and hooking his fingers, Norris immediately approached with a smirk.

Sean smiled and stretched out his hand, Norris immediately bowed his head knowingly, Sean raised his hand and nodded his head, "Say, who do you think your boss is, ah!"

"Who doesn't know that you, Mr. Sean, have a pair of eyes full of wisdom, and you are the best at discovering talents. In a short period of time, you have made several people famous in succession. I also do it for the sake of this little girl." Norris said that although he was serious, he could The smirk on his face couldn't be hidden.

"Boss, Australian, just right!"

"Damn it, this is still a little girl!" Sean rolled his eyes. Although he had a fight with that Australian thief Murdoch, he wouldn't do anything to a little Australian girl.

"Boss, it's not too young!"

Sean glanced at the TV and couldn't help but nodded, well, it's really not small.

"Nicole Kidman learned ballet when she was a child. She is young, beautiful, fair-skinned, and has a very good figure." Norris frowned slightly as he spoke, with a wretched smile on his face.

Sean: Cough cough, elaborate.

"But then he suddenly grew taller, so he gave up ballet performance. When he was 17 years old, he participated in this movie. It was considered popular in Australia, and then he dropped out of school and devoted himself to acting career." Norris whispered beside Sean Said: "I have already investigated her background. Her father is a medical researcher, but her ability is very poor. Her mother is a feminist activist with radical thinking. Last year, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer."

"What do you mean?" Sean squinted at Norris.

"I mean, sir, you should give the poor girl a helping hand."

"Fart, fuck, what a bad idea." Sean slapped Norris, "Am I the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others!"

"Ahem, I mean, Nicole Kidman wants to develop in Hollywood, you should give her a chance to show her talent." Norris quickly changed his words.

"Ahem, it's not easy for a little girl." Sean coughed lightly and raised his hand to touch his chin. "Is the company going to start shooting another movie recently?"

"Not yet, but a few screenwriters and directors brought over the script, but..."

"But what?" Sean tilted his head and looked at Norris.

"I can't tell whether it's good or bad." Norris lowered his head and said with some embarrassment.

"What the hell..." Sean didn't know what to say, "Forget it, is there anyone more famous?"

"Uh, there really is one, old Spock, the half-Vulcan in "Star Trek", who served as the science officer and first mate on the starship Enterprise." Norris said: "By the way, the movie "Interstellar" the year before last He directed "Lost" 3 Rock Breaker, and this year's "Star Trek" 4 "Saving the Future" is also directed by him."

"You rejected such a powerful director?" Sean looked at Norris in a daze, completely confused about this guy's brain circuit.

Norris spread his hands and said with a embarrassed face: "The problem is, this is all Star Trek. He has been acting in this TV series since 1964. He is familiar with this show. It is not surprising that he can direct "Star Trek". It's a comedy!"

"Boss, you know that he looks... oh my god, it's hard to describe in words, he was born half-human, half-beast, and later he was also a big villain in the TV series Tiger Dare."

"Him, comedy?" Norris' voice rose involuntarily. "Well, I can't imagine seeing even a little comedy in him."

"This is too comic."

"If this script is really successful, Paramount will invest. You know, "Star Trek" has always been produced and distributed by Paramount. They have cooperated for many years, and there is no reason not to support him."

"Uh..." Sean stretched out his hand and scratched his head, he had to admit that Norris was right.

Thinking about the image of Spock, Sean also felt scratching his head.

However, Liu Huaqiang can act in comedy, why can't Spock.

"Arrange it, let him come with the script, I'll see you." Sean felt that giving the other party a chance, who said that if you are too long, you can't have a comedy dream.

Anyway, the film company doesn't have any plans to make a film this year. If the production cost is not high, it doesn't hurt to let him try.

I have a distribution channel for video tapes, and I can't lose much if I think about it, so I use it as a film library.

(I also thought so at the beginning...)

Norris nodded, thought for a while and asked again unwillingly: "What about Nicole Kidman?"

"Damn it!" Sean scolded with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll write a script."

Norris immediately felt relieved, the boss is still the boss, and he is still so dedicated!

Sean ignored Norris and began to close his eyes and meditate.

There are many blockbuster movies in my mind, after all, I have seen many.

"Lethal Weapon" series, Jet Li participated in the fourth part of this series.

"The White-headed Detective" series.

"Fast and Furious" series, too much!

There are also "Fatal Attraction", "Rain Man", "Ghost Love", "Pretty Woman", there are too many.

Words for Nicole Kidman, though...

A little girl can't support a commercial blockbuster at all, and it's impossible for Sean to spend a lot of money just to pick up girls.

He is not a dog licker, let alone an upstart.

Sean got tired of Norris' style of play, using characters to make deals with people.

It's boring, uninteresting, and he's not a man who lacks women.

So, a movie jumped into his head, Goodfellas!

The show, Sean remembers it well, starred Robert De Niro.

The old man Sean likes it very much, and has played many classic movie roles, such as "Once Upon a Time in America", "The Godfather 2" and "King of Comedy".

Even the director Sean remembers who it is, Martin Scorsese, a famous director, has many works that are familiar to later generations, such as "Gangs of New York" and "The Wolf of Wall Street".

There is nothing more suitable than this, and Sean is going to participate in it himself, playing a couple with the Australian big white girl.

Hehehe...

Just do it when you think of it, Sean took the pen and paper and started to write the outline of the story.

The story took place in New York in 1955. The protagonist Henry lived in Brooklyn and was influenced by the surrounding environment. Sean, ah, it was Henry!

Henry has been a bad breed since he was a child, and he aspires to be a glorious gang member who can walk sideways on the street every day and eat without paying!

Henry started skipping classes in middle school to be a gangster, fighting everywhere. Once he was caught by the police when he was selling smuggled cigarettes, but he obeyed the rules and refused to disclose the list of his accomplices.

After being beaten up, he was appreciated by the gangster godfather, and finally became the gangster he dreamed of.

Henry and two other companions, Jimmy and Tommy, formed a team to rob, murder, and extort money. During this period, Henry met Karen, who was born in a middle-class family.

Karen is deeply attracted by the bad boy, and despite her family's opposition, she marries Sean and has children.

In a certain loan operation, Henry and Jimmy were arrested and imprisoned for beating others and seriously injuring them. When Karen came to visit the prison with their children, Henry knew that the Mafia did not keep the agreement to take care of his family. He had no choice but to stay in prison. Pan poisoning to support his wife and children.

After Henry was released from prison, he and his two partners carefully planned a robbery and successfully robbed a huge sum of 6 million US dollars, but eventually attracted gangsters.

Tommy died, and Henry went to the godfather for help but was ruthlessly rejected. In the end, Henry reached a plea deal with the police in order to get rid of the crime, and brought the mafia godfather, Jimmy and others to court, and changed his name and surname to Canada to start a new life.

After writing the outline, Xiao En read it again, and suddenly found that many places were not true.

6 million will cause infighting?

Eyelids are so fucking shallow!

It's not true at all, and it was easily changed to 45 million US dollars.

Completing the plea bargain can enjoy a peaceful life?

True but the Mafia is vegetarian?

Is it true that the police departments are all good people?

Damn it, I really let you feel at ease, the mafia has been wiped out long ago!

The solution was changed to be found a year later, and his head was shot off in front of his family.

After the modification, Sean read it again and was very satisfied.

"Hey, let's see, how about this script?" With that said, Sean raised his hand and handed it to Norris.

Norris' face was full of disbelief. Although he knew that the first three scripts were written by Sean, he really didn't expect it to be so fast. This...

Is the boss too awesome, or is the Hollywood screenwriter too rubbish?

A quick look, Norris direct good guy!

No wonder it was written so fast, Norris just wanted to say: No one knows the Mafia better than you!

This robbery was written, really...huh?

45 million! ?

New York!

Shit!

After sneaking a glance at Xiao En, he immediately lowered his head, forget it, forget it, just pretend not to know.

"Okay, this script is great, it will definitely be a hit at the box office!" Norris waved his hand fiercely with a look of excitement on his face. He didn't mention any Oscars. He knew that the boss didn't like those false names.

"Why can't it be an Oscar?" Sean turned his head and looked Norris up and down.

Norris: Boss, you've changed!

"Okay, okay, take it to the three Aijia brothers. These three brothers have rested for a long time, and they should come out and do some work." Then, Sean cursed, "Damn it, Hollywood is There are no screenwriters who are more at ease."

"The local area still lost money, and these three guys made money."

"And then? Today..." Norris wanted to say more.

"Then it's about registering the script, looking for a director, casting, and preparing to start the machine. Can't we handle this?" Sean quietly glanced at Diane Lane, who was poking around on the second floor, and immediately interrupted Norris.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up!"

"Oh oh oh." Norris responded and walked out immediately.

As soon as Norris left, Diane Lane came down the stairs and stretched lazily, looking sleepy.

Good guy!

If Sean hadn't just seen this little girl poking her head, he would have almost believed it.

He really deserves to be an actor!

After getting tired of Diane Lane for a while, it was about the same time, so Sean asked Diane to put on makeup earlier, he couldn't be late.

Sean has another meeting today.

...

In a restaurant, Jeffrey Katzenberg was looking at the documents in his hand while eating.

The capitalist didn't ask him to 996, but in his position, it's hard to have much private time.

Even when eating.

"Excuse me, sir." A waiter came over pushing a dining cart with ice buckets and red wine on it. "This is from the gentleman over there."

Katzenberg curiously followed the waiter's fingers, and at first sight saw a handsome man raising his glass to himself.

Katzenberg didn't recognize who it was, but he did recognize the woman next to the handsome man. Diane Lane, one of the four great beauties in Hollywood, has been very popular recently.

Looking at the red wine in the ice bucket, Katzenberg stood up, and he had to thank him out of politeness.

"Hello, I don't know..."

"Sean Rockefeller."

Katzenberg was taken aback for a moment, and looked up and down carefully. Tomedock's blessing, Sean's reputation is in full swing.

Sean smiled and pointed to the seat in front of him, "Sit down and say, Mr. Katzenberg, don't mind if I call you that."

After Katzenberg sat down, Sean introduced himself: "Today I came here specially to wait for you."

"Ah!" Katzenberg suppressed his curiosity and made himself look calm, "Do you know what's going on?"

"I'm a very direct person. I think time is precious and I can't waste it on meaningless small talk. Then, I'll just say it directly." Sean stared at Katzenberg, "I want to dig you to my Shaw En Pictures will be the president."

Katzenberg stopped in Bengbu now, and looked at Sean in astonishment. I didn't expect to be so direct.

"Barry Diller went to find Murdoch to realize his dream, and Michael Eisner went to Disney to save this somewhat old ship. What about you, Mr. Katzenberg?"

"After so many years of work, have you ever thought about taking charge of the overall situation by yourself?" Sean raised his hand and tapped his temples, "According to your own way, take full responsibility for running a film company."

"This, this... this is too sudden, Mr. Sean." Katzenberg was a little at a loss. If it was an ordinary person who came to dig him, he would definitely perfunctory and think about it slowly.

However, it is Sean in front of him now, and he always wants to give an explanation.

"I don't think so at all. I don't believe that you haven't thought about leaving Paramount. Barry Diller must have brought you over. After all, you were his substitute. You belonged to him. Michael Eisner must also have you. But you, he needs someone he can trust to help him go to Disney to open up the situation better, am I right?" Sean crossed his hands on the dining table, his tone sounded relaxed, but inside and outside he seemed aggressive.

The domineering CEO Fan made Diane Lane next to him feel wet again.

Young, handsome, talented, and unparalleled in domineering, such a man can be tolerated if he puts his heart into it!

Katzenberg looked embarrassed, and Sean was right, so this was the reason for his hesitation.

"By the way, it may be difficult to realize Barry's ideal." Sean said from another angle: "Without me, Murdoch might be able to get special approval from the Presidential Palace, circumventing legal restrictions and taking down the six capitals held by the capital media." A TV station, but now, it’s impossible.”

"You see, life is so strange, Barry always wanted to go back to running the TV network, if he was late, he would bump into me, but he just happened to be a little early."

"Some time ago, Paramount was in full swing under your leadership, but who would have thought that it would be in full swing in just half a year?"

"When an opportunity presents itself, should you seize it or hesitate?"

"Or, after today, do you think you will have the opportunity to truly control a film company that operates completely according to your ideas and realize your own dreams?"

"One year, five years, or ten years?"

Katzenberg opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer Sean. Sure enough, the reports in the newspapers were all one-sided, and Sean was not the kind of person who liked to use black and illegal methods as he imagined.

On the contrary, Sean is very good at speaking, and he is very good at speaking to people's hearts.

The rumors are unbelievable, Sean, what a man!

At least, now Katzenberg is asking himself, when will he have the opportunity to control a film company alone?

"Look, you can't answer, can you?" Sean stared into Katzenberg's eyes, speaking slowly, but continued to say word by word: "The future is unpredictable, so no matter how good the future is, it It's all too illusory, grab the present, and what you hold in your hands is your own."

"There are countless film companies in Hollywood, but if anyone has a chance to be among the top eight, then it must be my Sean Films." Sean continued to increase, "Because I have strong financial strength and backing, They can't beat me."

"Okay, tell me what you think." Sean raised his hand as a gesture.

"I..." Katzenberg hesitated, "You really let me take full control without interfering?"

"A wise choice." Sean laughed, and then explained: "There is no absolute freedom in this world, even in the freest country, there are laws governing it."

"Of course, of course, I understand that." Now that Katzenberg said it, he let it go. Indeed, the successive departures of Barry and Michael Eisner made his heart agitated.

"I mean, in terms of where the film company is going."

"That's for sure." Sean gave an affirmative answer first, and then continued: "I have some news for you. You should know about Pete Cherning's resignation letter. He will come to me to be in charge of forming the The TV networks, yes, are targeting Murdoch."

"After the TV network is established, I will form a media group, and the film company will be one of the subsidiaries, just like Buwei Pictures is to Disney, Samsung Pictures is to Columbia, and Fox Films is to News Corporation. This will be An independent subsidiary, how it develops is up to you." Sean dipped his drink and drew a few circles on the table.

"Peter Chernin's work will be primarily on the TV networks, from six to covering most of the United States, then South America, Europe, Asia, as long as you don't have tit-for-tat development discoveries."

"Of course, the film company also needs to set up a TV series shooting team, and the TV station has enough programs to support it."

"The general framework is like this." Sean looked up into Katzenberg's eyes, "What's the problem?"

"Don't talk about the film company, that's your job, don't try to shift the responsibility to me."

"Of course, now, I can't think of any reason to refuse." Katzenberg laughed when he heard it, and his bald head began to shine.

Katzenberg is already a qualified wage earner. The boss said that this is his job, and he is very happy!

"Oh, right." Sean seemed to have just remembered something, "You know, screenwriting is a small hobby of mine. The three films currently in the company are all script outlines written by me. Sometimes I will write scripts and shoot them. , Of course, this will not interfere with the normal operations of the company."

"If you mind, just tell me, I'm just setting up a film company to play alone."

"Of course it doesn't matter, your talent is known to everyone in Hollywood." Now that Katzenberg has decided to work for Sean, he will still say flattery, ""The Bank Heist" is great, and it ranked fourth in the North American box office last year. , For the first time, this is a great result, and I watched the finished film of "Basic Instinct", this is the best suspense film in the last ten years, Sharon Stone..."

After the words came out, Katzenberg thought of Diane Lane next to him, and immediately skipped the topic, "I'm sure it will be a big box office hit."

"No, wait, "Basic Instinct" hasn't been released yet, how did you see the finished film?" Sean had a weird expression on his face, what the hell...I haven't watched the final edited film yet.

"As you said, the circle of Hollywood is so big, these things cannot be hidden." Katzenberg laughed.

"Okay, damn it!" Sean also laughed. It's hard to hide this kind of thing from the senior management of the seven major Hollywood companies.

Besides, it's just a copy of the movie, and it's because they are not qualified enough to hide it from the people below.

Let qualified people know that your movie is very good, which can effectively avoid the collision of the same grade of movie schedules, causing unnecessary losses for both parties.

What's more, this is not Hong Kong. It is impossible to follow the trend and release a movie a week after seeing your movie. That is too magical.

It's useless to give you half a year!

Even after the fact, there are certain defendants for plagiarism. Superman's copyright lawsuit has been fought for more than 60 years...

In just one meal, Katzenberg turned into Sean's appearance.

Sean talked about his plan for this year. He has another script for the next screenwriter to refine. He has already decided on the director and starring role, and Katzenberg will need to talk about it when the time comes.

In addition, Sean has no filming plans this year. With the current size of Sean Films, 3-4 films a year is the limit.

Always leave some room for Katzenberg to play.

The production cost of 3-4 films is about 100 million. From filming to release to box office settlement, it takes at least a year and a half, and some films take as long as 2 years.

The backlog of funds during this period is terrifying.

In addition, we need to expand the distribution team. The first step is the distribution capabilities in North America, including Canada, which is not a small investment.

When Katzenberg takes over, the first step is to build Sean Pictures' own shooting base.

A large film company must have its own shooting base.

This is one of the inevitable conditions for a top film company.

You can't rent Universal's studio every time you make a movie, wouldn't you send your neck up for others to chop off?

The size of the shooting base, the number of studios, and the variety of genres will determine the average annual output of the film company and the types of films it produces.

Of course, it's also about cost.

It is also a fixed asset of a movie company.

Take Universal as an example. Universal is so powerful because it thinks Universal Studios is the filming base of Universal.

Universal Studios is located in Hollywood, covering an area of ​​2.13 million square meters, with 48 large studios, 32 of which are dedicated to filming.

This is Hollywood, and the land of more than 2 million square meters will only become more and more valuable.

This is not counting the money that Universal Studios can make from receiving tourists every year.

In addition to Universal, several other major companies also have their own shooting bases.

For example, Warner, in addition to its own shooting base, Warner also built the Warner Bros. Movie World theme park in Australia in 1981, Gold Coast.

Not to mention Disney.

Of course, there are also those who make up the numbers in the Big Eight. For example, Lianmei, which was acquired in 1981, has no distribution channels or shooting bases of its own.

The first of the eight to be acquired.

The other is the rising star 20th Century Fox, which has distribution channels and filming bases, but it is relatively small, so the purchase price is relatively low.

So Sean must also build his own filming base, especially since he also needs to set up a TV network. The filming of various TV series and the recording of various programs in the later stage also need a huge base to complete.

Well, in general, money is needed!

There is no problem that money can't solve.

The problem is, Sean is really out of money...

...

With Katzenberg done, Sean is in a good mood.

This is definitely something to celebrate, and Sean doesn't need to order this matter, just give Norris a look, and this guy will understand everything.

On the way back, Diane Lane was dishonest, and when she got off the car at the villa, her face was already flushed.

As soon as she entered the door, Diane Lane froze in place. In the living room stood a tall white girl in a black evening dress, biting her lower lip with her head lowered.

Just by looking at her figure, she could tell she was a little fairy.

In an instant, Diane Lane pouted, "You, what's going on with her!"

"That bastard Norris must have done it." Sean exposed Norris without hesitation.

"Okay, okay." Sean picked up Diane Lane, clasped the hands holding her buttocks inwardly, and Diane Lane softened with a sound, "I'm happy today, Just this once, just this once.”

"Hmph, I hate it!" Diane Lane rolled her eyes with a blushing face, she had heard these words countless times.

Turning her head to look at the somewhat bewildered woman standing in the living room, Diane Lane sighed.

Getting off Sean, Diane Lane turned and walked towards the woman in the living room. With a smile on the corner of Sean's mouth, he turned and went up to the second floor.

Sure enough, after a while, the door was pushed open, and two people walked in hand in hand.

Sean blinked, sat up from the bed, and the bathrobe he just put on slipped off, revealing a body that was not muscular but well-proportioned.

This woman! ?

Sean looked familiar, but couldn't be sure.

Diane Lane pulled the woman over and sat down beside Sean from left to right.

Sean laughed, and raised his arms to embrace the two beauties.

After a busy day, take a shower first. The bathroom is big enough for five people, let alone three...

In the bathroom, Sean was pouring bath soap on the newly-acquainted beauty from behind, and softly asked in her ear, "Can you tell me your name?"

The person was called by Norris, and it is impossible for Sean to know all the actors signed by the agency.

The hot air was blowing on her ears, the woman trembled and snorted softly, "Elizabeth Hurley, I'm 20 years old this year."

The last sentence was ordered by Norris, the boss likes younger...

Elizabeth Hurley, who was born in Hampshire, England, also studied ballet when she was a child, and her figure is like a perfect work of art.

Smooth, delicate, without a trace of blemish.

Anyway,

There are those who are good at ballet in the middle, and the king will not go to court early from then on.

To be happy in life is to be happy, and from then on the king will not go to court early.

...

"Tell me, everyone, what do you think about the current situation." The chairman of the capital media company's board of directors said, looking at the shareholders of the company below.

"Sean, I don't think there is any need to pay attention to it." A short, bald man with a fat face trembling, "He is a spoiler at all."

"Ha, what reason do you have for saying that? You still think Sean has plenty of time to joke around with you." Another white-haired director sneered.

"I don't know if he has time to joke with me, but I know he hasn't set foot in the media industry." The bald fat man snorted and continued, "Tell me, such a person is willing to spend 2 billion yuan to buy a TV network? "

"Why is he?" The bald fat man knocked on the table hard, and raised his voice and said loudly: "He doesn't even have that much assets himself, so he will invest all my assets in a completely unfamiliar industry?"

"Just to compete with Murdoch?"

"Don't be kidding, unless he's crazy."

"So, I don't think it's necessary to talk to him. It's ridiculous to devote energy to an acquisition offer that is completely impossible to reach, while ignoring real customers." The bald dumpy man waved his arms vigorously, as if to repel flies "Aside from setting up obstacles for our acquisition, is there anything else to do?"

Obviously, neither Sean nor Pete Czerny knew anything about Murdoch's acquisition, and the two estimated 500-700 million.

In reality, it was a $2 billion merger.

This is also the reason why Capital Media Company did not formally discuss it for a long time after receiving Sean's acquisition offer.

Most people don't think Sean is really capable of completing this acquisition.

The white-haired director didn't know how to refute at all, and he couldn't find a reason why Sean would pay such a high price to acquire the TV network, but he didn't want to sell the shares to Murdoch.

In other words, he didn't want to give up Capital Media Company.

Not all directors agree to sell the shares in hand, but if Murdoch completes the acquisition of more than half of the shares, then...

Unless you are willing to stand on the same line with Murdoch, otherwise, it is useless to keep the shares.

There are too many ways for major shareholders to slowly eliminate your influence, or transfer assets and empty them out, so that you can't make any money.

"At the very least, we can use Sean as a bargaining chip. Isn't a newly-emerged super rich not qualified?" The white-haired director thought of a reason and said loudly.

"Ha, who doesn't know that you just want to disturb Huang's acquisition." Humpty Humpty sneered.

"You fart, you have colluded with that Australian long ago, he bought your shares at a high price, and asked you to lower the price for him, you thief, Australian dog!" Not to be outdone, the white-haired director pointed at the short fat man nose to scold.

Quarreling, brawling, watching the fun, and having their own thoughts, this time, the entire meeting room became a mess.

Someone has reached an agreement with Murdoch privately, and these people naturally hope to keep the price as low as possible and facilitate the acquisition as soon as possible.

Some people did not reach an agreement with Murdoch in private, but they also wanted to sell it at a good price. However, the reason why Murdoch gave a high price to some people was to open a gap within the capital media company, and the purpose was to acquire at a lower price. Of course, no one will pay a premium.

To be more precise, once the shares reach a certain percentage, Murdoch has little interest in the shares held by other people.

Some people just don't want to sell.

It doesn't matter whether some people sell or not, it's of course good to be able to sell higher.

It's okay if some people are selling, but if the buyer is their 'own'.

They have different ideas, and their attitudes when dealing with acquisition-related issues are completely different.

Noisy, not necessarily better than those shrews who quarreled over trivial matters.

After arguing for half an hour, everyone was tired, and the current chairman of Capital Media Company stood up and said, "Since there is no consensus, let's vote."

After waiting for everyone to calm down, the chairman said blankly: "I agree to try to touch Xiao En's raised hand first."

Ha, the bald fat man sneered, "Chairman, why don't you just order to have contact with that little kid."

The chairman cast a glance at the bald fat man and said nothing. This is the art of language!

He can have several choices, "Agree to fully negotiate with Murdoch's acquisition plan", "Agree to accept Sean's acquisition offer", "Agree to try to get in touch first". Different questions and votes get completely different answers.

Try to get in touch first, which means probing, and see how Xiao En reacts in detailing the response plan, almost without paying anything, which will naturally get those who don't want to sell, don't care, want to sell at a high price, and want to sell their own people' The support of those antiques.

It is also the reason why the bald fat man is angry.

The result is self-evident, and more people support trying to contact Sean first to see what it means.

Things are settled, all that's left is to connect.

At the beginning, Sean issued the acquisition invitation through Lamb, and there was no movement after the invitation was issued.

Now, of course, the news can only be delivered through Lamb.

After the meeting adjourned, the bald fat man immediately passed the news on the board of directors to Murdoch.

At this time, you can see the benefits of buying a little bit of shares at a high price in advance. The board of directors is a sieve, and you can't hide any internal information.

"Damn it! This damned bedbug in the sewer." Murdoch cursed bitterly, but there was nothing he could do.

He could only wait for the results of the contact with Capital Media Company to come out. Now he can do nothing, whether it is raising the offer or retreating.

"Okay, let me know if you have any news." After hanging up the phone, Murdoch's face was very ugly.

He couldn't figure out why Sean suddenly went crazy and messed up the situation for him. What made him even more annoyed was whether it was Sean's own idea or Rockefeller's.

If it's just Sean, then Murdoch is not afraid at all, Xiao En is just a little boy, what a shame!

But if Rockefeller...

Probably not, there is absolutely no need for Rockefeller to do this.

Moreover, if you want to make a move, you have already made a move.

So……

(PS: Directors do not represent shareholders. Directors are representatives of shareholders’ seats on the board of directors. The more shares they hold, the more seats they have on the board of directors. For example, Huang Jiaozhu is a shareholder of more than 30 companies, but he has his own job. Therefore, only one person will be appointed as a director to represent himself in each company.)
