I’m in Hollywood Chapter 1166: Lift the lid

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Perhaps because of some primitive territorial awareness, Eric is very uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of strangers in his private life.

After dinner, I chatted with Cindy and Linda for a while and saw that Kathryn Neumann, who had cleaned up the housework, appeared in the living room holding a book, and Eric took the initiative to get up and walk to the study.

The parcel sent by Rebecca Wade was placed on the desk. Eric placed the IMG Group ’s information next to it. After sitting down, he opened the computer and found the paper cutter to open the parcel.

The package is just a simple letter and a box of DVDs.

Eric first opened Rebecca Wade ’s letter and read it.

In the letter, Rebecca Wade told Eric that the CD-ROM content is a documentary about the EliteBrokerage Firm competition scandal to be aired next week by BBCTV Station. Once this documentary is broadcast, it is likely to have a disruptive impact on the entire professional model industry. Taking into account some of the industrial layout of the Firefly system, she sent samples of this documentary to let Eric decide whether to intervene, and said that she can provide some help.

News Corp's "intelligence gathering ability" can be seen from the details of the eavesdropping scandal. Eric is not curious about the source of this box of DVDs in the opponent, but just plug the DVD into the computer's optical drive and click to play.

The picture is obviously taken from the camera of the miniature camera, and there are blurry black borders around it.

The content of the documentary is a follow-up interview behind the Eliteprofessional model competition in Nice, France, which ended just last month. As a sponsor, the BBC reporter approached a series of people in charge of the competition, and then filmed the explicit words and deeds of these people who unscrupulously said that they would get the girls participating in the competition. In the end of the documentary, there was even a scene of a girl being tricked into snorting the **** .

Moreover, the documentary emphasizes one point. In this Eliteprofessional model competition held in Nice, France, the average age of the players is less than 15 years old, the youngest girl is only 12 years old, and only a few of the players reach the adult standard.

The turmoil in the professional model industry is almost a well-known thing. Ordinary people can see how indulgent their private life is from some of the professional model ’s dismal temperament and dark spots on their faces.

However, under normal circumstances, only some of the chaotic private lives of professional model alone will be exposed by the media, and large-scale scandals directly involving industry giants such as Elite have not yet occurred. This documentary of the BBC is equivalent to lifting the lid directly, showing the darkest side of the professional model industry to the public.

It is conceivable that once this documentary is broadcast, there will be a major earthquake in the entire professional model industry.

Faced with the pressure of discussion, governments of all countries will definitely re-enact relevant regulations.

Elite, the world ’s largest professional model Brokerage Firm, will also become a street mouse, and its decline is almost inevitable.

Even though the beautiful stunners who appeared around Eric always showed their best side, he was never naive to think that this industry is really as bright and beautiful as the surface.

In fact, like Hollywood, Eric is also very clear about the dark side of the fashion circle.

However, with the continuous improvement of wealth and power, the attitude of Eric to the world has become more and more indifferent. Just like a human being, it is destined not to be too interested in biting in the battle of foraging and breeding in the world of ants. It is already a pity to be able to step on it at will.

At this moment, if the broadcast of this documentary will only affect one Elite company, Eric is destined to just stand by and watch.

It's just that the BBC's act of lifting the lid caused the governments of all countries to strengthen industry regulation. The most important point is that after the documentary is played, just like many XX doors, the gray associations of the public in the fashion circle will be realized, which will affect the public image of the entire professional model industry.

Eric has just invested in WM, and Cindy will acquire IMG next.

If Elite goes to decline, on the surface it is good for the Firefly system. But this scandal and the subsequent storm of discussion that it may trigger are enough to drag the entire industry into the water. The top supermodel group Victoria’s Secret legion created by Eric may also be affected. Either way, it is enough to offset the benefits of Elite's decline.

After thinking about it for a moment, Eric picked up his mobile phone and dialed Meyer ’s phone.

"Mary, it's me ... you check the contact information of the person in charge of the BBC, and send an email to the other party, saying that I saw their TV program about Elite, and hope that the BBC can withdraw. In return, Firefly It is possible to increase a part of the advertising budget invested in the BBC Group ... Well, I know, you can do it immediately. In addition, call John Casablanca and let him come to see me tomorrow morning. "

Hang up the phone of Meyer, Eric took out the IMG Group's information and just read it for a while, Linda changed into a beautiful pajamas and floated in.

"What prenatal education do I hear, I want to go to sleep," gesture lazily snuggled into the Eric arms, Linda hugged the man's neck, complaining sourly: "Maybe the little guy is asleep In the future, not only will I not become smart, but I will be sleepy as soon as I see a book. "

Linda has always had no advantage in front of Cindy. This time Cindy was pregnant again, but her stomach did not move much.

Eric embraces the thin waist of the woman, and inevitably thinks of the documentary just now.

Rebecca Wade sent this documentary, perhaps with another meaning.

The EliteEurope area Chairman involved in the documentary is actually the former husband of Linda. Once the scandal is exposed, the other party will definitely be infamous, but now the more famous Linda will inevitably be pulled into the media.

Regardless of these thoughts, Eric patted the woman comfortably and smiled: "Don't complain, you will have this day sooner or later."

"But I want it now," Linda rubbed on Eric, and his face turned red to the man's ear with a hot face: "Eric, I consulted the doctor and learned something, Let's try it now? "

Eric immediately smiled and shook his head: "Don't go, you hold this kind of purpose, but it is a blow to the enthusiasm of men."

Linda chewed a bit on the man ’s neck with open mouth, feeling the strength of Eric's hand touching his waist increased, his eyes rolled, he reached out and began to unbutton his shirt, then slowly Bite it down.

Early morning, the two women said goodbye, and Eric rushed directly to the helipad on the Hudson River.

Carolyn and Meyer are already waiting here. After getting off the vehicle at Eric, Meyer came with his BlackBerry: "Eric, BBCChairman Mark · Thompson refused."

Eric took the phone, looked at the email on the screen, and asked casually: "What about John · Casablanca?"

"Mr. Casablanca lives in Greenwich. He just called to say that he still has ten minutes to arrive."

Greenwich is more than 40 kilometers north of Manhattan and already belongs to Connecticut. Many rich and senior white-collar workers of Manhattan live there.

Eric responded, after reading Mark, Thompson would not violate the BBC Group ’s own code of conduct, such as the refusal of arrogant refusal, because of commercial interests, and handed back the phone to Meyer: "Give me Mark Thompson ’s Phone. "

Meyer dialed a string of numbers skillfully, said a few words to the opposite, and handed the phone to Eric.

Eric put the phone in his ear and said, "Mark · Thompson?"

The voice of a middle-aged man with a standard London cavity came out of the receiver: "Hello, Mr. Williams. Although I am very happy to talk to you, but if it is for the matter in the email, I am sorry, I can not promise you , BBC has its own sense of social responsibility, we will not be controlled by others. "

"In this case, then consider as finished," Eric said flatly, "However, when it comes to social responsibility, I will let people do a more profound documentary, for example, about Jimmy Savile, what do you think Like? "

After Eric finished speaking, he did not wait for Mark · Thompson to answer, and hung up the phone directly.

The two women who were standing beside watching Eric talking to Mark · Thompson were somewhat stunned. He did not expect him to hang up the phone so quickly.

Carolyn heard Jimmy Savile ’s name and opened his mouth. What he was about to say, the cell phone that Eric hung up rang again.

Replace the phone to your ear, the tone of Eric is still dull: "So?"

Mark · Thompson has obvious anger: "Mr. Williams, are you threatening the BBC?"

Eric once again pressed the on-hook key.

Then, although the interval was slightly longer this time, the bell rang again after a minute.

"So?"

Mark Thompson ’s attitude has clearly softened this time: “Okay, Mr. Williams, I ’ll take down the documentary. However, you must also ensure that the thing you just said will never happen.”

Eric nodded and said: "Of course, I am very happy to talk to you, Mark, goodbye."

When Eric hung up the phone, Carolyn finally said: "Eric, what happened to Sir Savile? He is a very good person. I used to watch the shows he hosted when I was a kid."

Jimmy Savile is BBCTV Station's most well-known children and music show host, and he is already in his seventies this year. In the most popular period, thousands of children wrote to him every week.

In addition to this important identity, Jimmy Savile is also a knight of the United Kingdom queen, and is a close friend with many United Kingdom politicians such as Mrs Thatcher, and enjoys a very high reputation in the United Kingdom society.

Of course, all this is just appearance.

In my memory, the scandal involving him didn't finally break out until Jimmy Savile had just died ten years later.

It turned out that this seemingly decent host had violated hundreds of underage children as young as 8 years in the course of a host of decades.

Also, during the whole process, Jimmy Savile ’s behavior has become almost a well-known fact within the BBC, but for his own reputation, the BBC has repeatedly chosen to actively conceal the other party, which directly led to Jimmy Savile The evil deeds lasted for half a century.

For the BBC, who is good at constantly disclosing the inside information of various industries, the whole thing has to be said to be a great irony.

At this time, Eric looked at the clear and bright eyes of Carolyn, pretending to secretly whisper: "You do n’t know, he is actually a homosexual. Think about it, a successful family harmony career is also very popular with children. The old guy suddenly became gay, and everyone will certainly not be too willing to accept it. "

Carolyn wrinkled her small nose, a bit distressed, said: "This, Eric, this is not good, sexual orientation is a very personal thing, you should not use him to bargain with others."

Eric nodded solemnly: "Well, I promise, there will never be another time."

Meyer was standing next to him, listening to Eric talking seriously with Carolyn, his eyes flashed, seeing the man looking over, and looked away casually.

A moment later, a Cadillac car came to the apron.

Although I was somewhat sullen about the attitude of Eric Williams about calling me out, Elite Chairman John · Casablanca trot over and greeted enthusiastically with a smile on his face: "Sorry, Mr. Williams, the distance is a bit far . Hey, this helicopter is really good. "

Eric and John · Casablanca shook hands, and without too much greetings, they handed over the box of DVDs yesterday to each other, saying: "This was originally a documentary to be aired by the BBC next week. I will help you down. But you remember, only this time, the next time there is a problem, I will let ABC follow up in person, and Elite will close the door directly. "

Although it is completely unclear what happened, John · Casablanca listened to the solemn tone of Eric without any jokes, but immediately put away the smile on his face and took the box of DVDs and said: "Mr. Williams, what's the matter?"

"I'm in a hurry, please go back and see for yourself. In addition, I plan to transfer Al's contract to IMG. A lawyer will contact you recently."

Due to the operation idea of ​​the IMG elite system, the contracts of the four women Cindy, Linda, Gisele and Miranda are currently under the IMGprofessional model company, and only Alessandra remains in Elite.

Since the intention to acquire the IMG Group has already emerged, and this kind of disruption has occurred again, Eric has decided to transfer the Alessandra contract from the Elite side. As for the other Elite angels under the Victoria’s Secret legion, Eric does not matter.

John · Casablanca has realized the seriousness of the matter and wants to continue to ask, but Eric has waved his hand and took the Carolyn two women and a bodyguard to the helicopter.

Looking at the black VH-60 lifted off, John · Casablanca also hurriedly left the apron and rushed to Elite Headquarters. A person came to the company's conference room and couldn't wait to put the box of DVD into the player. .

After watching most of the video for half an hour, John · Casablanca was already shocked with cold sweat.

Although the content of the video has nothing to do with him, John · Casablanca is very clear that if this documentary is actually broadcast, the signature of the professional model competition, which has been carefully operated by Elite for more than two decades, will be destroyed once, and the company will not only usher in it A large number of lawsuits, its professional model will also be forced to run away from the scandal.

At that time, Elite is destined to decline soon.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he can only be forced to leave the professional model Brokerage Firm that he created by himself. Unlike the McGee Mark family behind IMG, these years, John · Casablanca has not had many shares in Elite. The company has run such a big flaw, and Board of Directors will definitely not allow him to stay in the EliteChairman position.

It was completely trembling and smashing all the bits and pieces on the meeting table to the ground. John Casablanca slumped in a chair, his mind gradually calmed down, and he began to think about the next thing.

Eric Williams wants to take away the Alessandra Ambrosio contract, which is equivalent to completely disconnecting from Elite.

At least, it must not be allowed to happen.

Thinking so, John · Casablanca's thoughts gradually turned to Eric's recent move to buy WM.

......

The Boeing 747 of Eric took off from Long Island airport, but did not plan to fly directly to Shini, but had to make a short stop at Ventura Airport.

Microsoft Chairman Steve Ballmer is already waiting there, Yahoo and Microsoft have re-signed the contract, Eric also needs to give the video to the other party.

In fact, Steve Ballmer happened to advocate cutting off all hardliners who cooperated with Yahoo to develop their own Internet business. The door class obviously did n’t want to see Eric before sending Steve Ballmer over.

Eric means that the less people know that video, the better. The number of people who have watched that video on their own side is no more than one hand, and the same is the case with Microsoft. Even if it is a follow-up negotiation with the Ministry of Justice, the insider should be limited to a few people such as President and the Minister of Justice.

As a major shareholder of Microsoft and one of the core executives, Steve Ballmer is clearly qualified to know this.

"Los Angeles will receive a copy of the information about the IMG Group today. You send an e-mail and let Edward let them evaluate if I personally participate in the acquisition of IMG, will there be a legal conflict with the existing industry."

"About the Clover Fund, let the Finance Department make a long-term profit distribution plan. I don't want the financial reports of companies such as Berkshire Hathaway and State Street Universal to indirectly expose Firefly Group's profitability this year."

"Also, announcement of" Gravity "is mainly based on Jodie · Foster and George · Clooney. I will participate in those programs this time."

"..."

In the front cabin of the Boeing 747, after the plane was flying smoothly, Eric began to discuss some work matters with the two women Carolyn.

About a while, Carolyn left the study room with a few documents, but Meyer pretended to be behind Eric to organize the desktop.

Opening a document from the IMG Group Sports Training Academy, Eric noticed Meyer ’s move and laughed: "Mary, is there anything?"

Meyer Er straightened, looking at the man ’s expression, and said: "Well, what's the matter with Jimmy Savile?"

Eric stared at Meyer for a while, then turned to smile and took the girl ’s hand, the tone was still serious: "He is gay, you know, this kind of thing is very troublesome to expose. "

Meyer ’s blinking eyes gradually calmed down, but he quickly earned the hand held by Eric, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone: "Eric, when you lie to me, it ’s not like a card at all. Li is so attentive. "

"Okay, I will definitely improve next time, this time I will make up."

"Uh."
