Eric does n’t know the secret actions of Howard Stringer. His answer is that he has followed the United States ‘politically correct’ rules of conduct in the past few years.
In a social environment like North America, there are not only racial discrimination, there are many things you can do, but you must not say that people who say what they say are either drunk or stupid. And, even if you do, you will die.
Clinton, still troubled by the zipper door, is undoubtedly the master of this aspect. Unfortunately, he was relatively unlucky, and the evidence was directly obtained.
Farewell to Idei Nobuyuki, Eric did not go far. The driver turned a corner to stop the driver.
After a while, Bill. Micnick followed the car, stopped a short distance behind the Eric, and trot after coming off.
The driver got out of the car and pulled the door open. Bill. Michanick sat in carefully and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Williams?"
"Call me Eric," Eric smiled. Bill · Micanić ’s age is about the same as Katzenberg. However, because of his own age and the increasing power of his own, Eric is against people like Bill · Micanić. Respectfully did not feel any awkwardness, but just opened the door immediately: "After the transaction, are you going to stay?"
Bill. Michanick nodded quickly: "Of course, if you can."
"I have seen your work history during the Disney period. The original Disney's animation movie tape distribution business was made by you. Jeffrey also believes that you can continue to hand over Columbia Film Studio to you. Let ’s take a look at Columbia ’s future development ideas. In the future, this Film Studio will continue to operate independently. I hope that after the transaction is completed, Columbia Film Studio will be on track as soon as possible. "
Bill. Micnick is a little excited. Based on his knowledge of Eric in Hollywood, if Eric does not intend to incorporate Columbia Film Studio into Firefly Group, then his power will definitely be much greater in the future. As long as Columbia Film Studio can recover again in the future, he will surely become one of the veritable seven masters.
Try to keep yourself calm, Bill. Micnick asked: "Wei ... Eric, what about these things recently?"
Eric thought about it and said, "The news of Firefly ’s acquisition of Sony Film Industry should be announced soon. However, the projects over there have been completed and proceeded according to the normal announcement process. Others, whether it has already started shoots or All the videos in the preparation stage are suspended. You go back and compile a list for me first. "
The most recent period is a critical period for Sony Film Industry to determine the production and distribution plan for the whole year next year.
However, Bill. Michanik also knows what attitude to show at this time, not to mention, the business scale of Sony Film Industry is not worth mentioning in the face of several other Film Studio in the Firefly system, even if all are stopped, There will not be much loss.
In the future, as long as the resources of the Firefly system help, Bill · Micanić is still very confident to be able to do Columbia Film Studio again. Therefore, he nodded without thinking: "I will do it if I go back."
Eric was very satisfied with Bill. Micnick ’s attitude, and took out a business card and handed it over, saying: "For the time being, there are only these. This is my business card. What can I call me at any time."
Bill. Michanick took the business card and collected it. Seeing Eric had no other instructions, he left.
......
Firefly ’s investment in the acquisition of Sony Group ’s Film Industry service was officially announced on Wednesday of the second week.
Almost ten years have passed, and the United States people are obviously cherished by the large-scale entry of North America into the Japanese company.
《Los Angeles Times》 directly used a "Hollywood to regain lost ground" as the title, the tone seems to be saying that the United States people have once again held the entire Hollywood in their hands.
However, while some people rejoiced, others also realized that the completion of the acquisition of Sony Film Industry, the Firefly system will control four of the seven Hollywood Film Studio, this strong state throughout the history of Hollywood It has n’t happened yet, plus Eric during this time just because a script showed a strong stance towards Sony Film Industry, other forces of Hollywood inevitably caused all kinds of worries.
So, the media comments that the Firefly system may form a monopoly in the Hollywood began to become very popular.
I do n’t know if I was really under pressure from Yulun or someone was doing it. One week after the news was announced, when Firefly Investment submitted a transaction application for the acquisition of Sony Film Industry to the United States Justice Department, it quickly received the Antitrust Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice The subpoena requires Firefly investment executives to attend the hearing related to the transaction and explain the possible monopoly suspects involved in the acquisition of Sony Film Industry by Firefly investment.
Firefly Studios.
In the studio of "Gravity", the other crew members are busy for the next shot. Eric is sitting at the operating desk, looking at the summons delivered by the Ministry of Justice to Chris with great interest, just rushed from New York Chris said: "So, our Mr. President still thinks that he has not enough trouble, or he thinks he will be impeached and stepped down, planning to have an addiction?"
The zipper doors that broke out in the first half of the year not only did not subside, but also showed a growing trend.
Recently, the United States House of Representatives has initiated a judicial impeachment voting procedure against Clinton, intending to impeach it on charges of obstruction of justice, suspected perjury, etc. Once the vote is passed, Clinton will become the third impeached in United States history President.
At this critical moment, Clinton is definitely supported by the main public opinion. Offending Firefly Group will not do him any good. Therefore, this subpoena is quite puzzling.
Chris smiled on his face and said: "Before I came, Jenny and Renault talked by phone. She hinted that the Anti-Monopoly Bureau had received anonymous materials, and someone from the Republican Party put pressure on this matter. That ’s why they had to do it. But in fact, this hearing is basically just a passing scene. If the Clinton government wants to target Firefly, it ’s you, not me. ”
Eric heard Chris's explanation, so it didn't find the root of the thought. Many things involve politics, it will become a bad debt. Moreover, even if the market share of Sony Film Industry and Firefly system in Hollywood is obtained, it is definitely not as high as the market share of Exxon Mobil in the energy industry or AT-T in the telecommunications industry in their respective fields. The case adds some twists and turns, and the final result will not change.
Returning the subpoena to Chris. Eric remembered what he had just said, and was suddenly curious: "Yes, who is Jenny Special. Renault?"
Chris took the subpoena, put it in a notepad and put in the briefcase she carried with her, explaining: "Attorney General, she also hopes that you can go to Washington to attend the hearing together next Tuesday."
Eric immediately shook his head: "I can't stand that kind of occasion, you can just go by yourself."
Chris smiled and said, "Then I will go by myself. In addition, Yahoo's latest IPO plan has been completed. The company's original stock was split into five and the total share capital was expanded to 1 billion 82 500,000 shares. The number of new shares issued 150 million, the issue price is temporarily set to 33 USD. According to this issue price, Morgan Stanley ’s valuation of Yahoo is about 35 700 million USD. The proportion of new shares issued is equivalent to 13.85% of the total issued share capital, and the scale of funds raised is 4.9 billion 5 million USD. Detailed plan I have passed the book to Ms. Haynes, you have time to read it. "
Speaking of this, Firefly investment and Morgan Stanley have already begun to discuss Yahoo's IPO plan earlier this year, but with the continuous change of the Nasdaq market situation, the original plan has long been forgotten by everyone. The final listing date of Yahoo has been determined at the end of November, and there are only about two months left now. Therefore, this plan is basically the final plan.
Digesting the information just given by Chris, Eric suddenly whispered softly: "It is about 5billion USD again."
Chris smiled and said: "Why, you are not confident anymore?"
Eric nodded honestly. The more he knew about the North America stock market, the more he worried about the prospects of YahooIPO.
AOL can be cashed out successfully. From the perspective of Eric, it can be said that it is a good time.
The Nasdaq index successfully broke through 2000 points, coupled with Morgan Stanley ’s advocacy for the Nasdaq ’s prospects, and the need for investment opportunities for Southeast Asia and Russia backflow of capital, this allowed Firefly investment to successfully reduce its holdings of AOL stocks.
However, according to the current fierce growth momentum of the Nasdaq market, the Nasdaq index is likely to quickly break the 2500 point mark by the end of the year.
AOL stock cashing from 2000 points to 2500 points is still better, but as the bubble of technology stocks deepens further, until the Nasdaq enters the 2500 point to 3000 point range, Wall Street investors will rise again to the stock crash Be vigilant and worried.
In this case, Yahoo wants to be 100% listed, there are really many uncontrollable factors.
Eric even worries whether the listing of Yahoo will really become the last straw to crush the tech stock bubble as some media have said. After all, even if the valuation of Yahoo is far from the expectations of Eric, in fact, no matter from any point of view, there is a serious bubble component in the IPO valuation of Yahoo 35 700 million USD.
With the successful reduction of AOL stocks, Eric is now able to understand one more thing, that is, no matter how high the market value is, it is only real cash.
Chris is probably able to guess the thoughts of Eric and comforted: "During this period, my team also conducted several investigations on the IPO risk of Yahoo with Morgan Stanley. From the market feedback, as long as the Nasdaq The overall market trend does not change much, so the probability of YahooIPO failure is very low. "
"I am now worried that Yahoo itself will become a" change "that affects the trend of the Nasdaq index."
Chris apparently also has this kind of worry, and the tone hesitated, saying: "Actually, if YahooIPO really fails, it ’s okay, we have gotten 10billion USD through the reduction of AOL, minus the expenditure on the acquisition of Sony Film Industry, the remaining Enough to support the continued expansion of Yahoo in the next few years. "
Eric also feels that she is too overwhelmed, and has experienced too many successes and failed once, which is nothing to say at all.
The two chatted a few more times. Not far away, Nickel · Frank signaled that the next shot of Eric was ready, and Chris took the initiative to stand up and said, "Then I will go to the Culver city first. Me and Sony Group ’s The delegates also have a meeting. "
In recent days, the Firefly investment team has been auditing information on Sony Film Industry ’s assets and liabilities, which is why Chris will come to Los Angeles.
Eric got up and sent Chris to the outside of the studio, jokingly: "Will you take you to some party to relax at night?"
"Oh, it ’s still consider as finished," Chris shook his head and said: "And, I will probably fly to San Francisco in advance at night. Tomorrow Firefly will hold Board of Directors."
"Speaking of this, Sony should contact there to discuss the issue of technology patent exchange. You can tell Victor that they will get the miniature camera module technology this time. Last time Victor went to Japan to go without If you dare to mess things up again this time, I, Boss, do n’t mind smashing their jobs. "
Chris thought for a while and said, "Actually, I am also somewhat reluctant. Once Sony gets the patent of digital music player technology, their MD may become the biggest threat to Fireflyer player."
The two walked to the door of the studio, there was a group of people waiting behind, and Eric did not mean to send Chris to the parking lot in person, but stopped and continued: "As long as Sony is restricted, only its own ATRAC The audio format is enough. Due to the internal problems of Sony, I do n’t think they can promote an audio format alone, and still have an audio format with strict copyright restrictions. You need to know that we have won the MP2 patent for further research and development. The Fireflyer player took a full five years. What ’s more, Firefly Electronics also needs an opponent. If they are surpassed by Sony in all aspects, then I also admit my fate, and then open all those guys. Remove. "
Chris realized that Eric was resolute, and no longer persuaded, but with a smile on his face, said: "Do I need to tell them the original words?"
"I am Boss, I want to ensure my image of being close to the people," Eric immediately shook his head, his face was awe-inspiring: "Of course you are the bad guy."
Chris knew that Eric was joking, and nodded and smiled, "Well, I'll be a bad policeman."
