King of Hollywood Chapter 345: Now, get out of me!
After the Stanford fight, Adrian and Claude finally eliminated the gap between them because of the group's listing. Sometimes, it is easier for men to communicate with their fists. Then, everything seemed to be moving in the good direction, but unfortunately, only two days later, this illusion was broken.
Everything starts with a video, a video that I don’t know who uploaded it to utube, the title is a real shot of director Miracle Fight. Although the picture is not very clear, it seems to be taken with a mobile phone, but it is basically recognizable. The person who is waving his fist with a middle-aged man is a well-known Hollywood super director and a new "Iron Man". Adrian.Kewell.
It didn’t take long for the movie craze to start, plus Adrian has always been a well-known person, and one can imagine how much attention a video with such a title will cause-after a few hours, the click rate has exceeded one million .
"We can clearly recognize that the two people fighting in the video are the media’s board chairman Adrian.Kewell, and the media’s president and Claude Ronris, this is obviously an unusual fight, and then Lenovo Before the media first heard the rumors of going public, but soon it became financing in the primary market. We can infer that the two founders of the media have signs of division." The news group's ox news channel took the lead in TV stations. The incident was reported in the above, and they have played their usual "attitude" style.
Despite scruples about the identity of Adrian and Claude, they did not distort much. However, a word "fight" is enough to explain many problems, and the headline "Two media executives punched each other" can easily guide people's ideas.
After that, the major media began to reprint one after another, and there was a huge crack between Adrian and Claude, which also followed a quick walk of this video. Although for ordinary people, this is just a super big gossip, the seemingly omnipotent super director who has always been beautiful, will actually fight with his own buddy, which is really fun. But for investors. This is a serious problem. If the opinions of a senior group are not uniform within a group and even have huge differences, how can they invest in such a group?
Furthermore, soon, some reporters took photos of Adrian and Claude respectively. Although both of them covered up, some traces can still be seen under the high-definition lens specially prepared by the reporters. And soon someone found the original author of the video. A cleaner at Stanford, the other party said that he did not intend to see. He was a fan of Adrian, but he had just watched "Iron Man", so he recognized him at a glance, so he took this shot with his mobile phone.
This proves that this is neither hype nor conspiracy, so it further increases the credibility of the two's internal strife, although then Adrian and Claude said through the spokesperson that there was nothing between them, It's just a fight for a small thing, this is something everyone will do.
"Did nobody ever fight with his brother?" Adrian also wrote such a passage on his e-ok. Also posted a few photos at the reception that night.
Unfortunately, this has no effect. Some financial magazine commentators began to publish articles to question the internal situation of the media. Wall Street also became more and more hesitant, and the financing operation that was not very smooth was also more unsmooth. .
To make matters worse, more than a week later, the ox news network suddenly broke the news. According to an internal employee who has resigned, Adrian and Claude once had a fierce quarrel for the group's listing. "The sound is loud enough to be heard even at the door." The ox news network quoted each other's words in this way, and made full ridicule.
"From arguing to fighting, who can tell me what will happen next?" a commentator said on TV.
Although the media has denied it for the first time. He also declared that he would retain the right to make legal statements about the departing employee, but rumors of internal discord were rampant for a time. In particular, some reporters said that the two terms as founders have only met with nods and greeted each other.
Although Adrian and Crowder soon appeared in front of the media through a fundraising party, Adrian appeared at the premiere of "I am Legend" starring Will Smith and Gao Yuanyuan playing the supporting role. And repeatedly said that he and Claude have no contradictions, but they are always interpreted by the outside world as a desire to cover up, so all kinds of unfavorable rumors about the media continue to ferment in the media.
Fortunately, they are not listed companies, otherwise the stock curve chart will definitely be unacceptable to some investors with a bad heart, but even so, the group's business in this area has also been quite affected. After delaying for almost a month, Wall Street heard news of shelving financing behavior-oxnews.com used the word "reject"-questioning the media's voice became louder, and finally someone jumped out.
"This is indeed a major setback, but it will not affect our development. Of course, someone must be responsible for it before that," an executive director of the media board of directors interviewed after the independence day. Said.
In fact, a few days later, he united some members of the board of directors and asked the group to convene the board of directors and hold the matter accountable.
"This is a common problem of emerging groups that are expanding too fast. If they have maintained an upward trend, even if there is a contradiction, shareholders can choose to ignore it, but once there is a major problem, the rift between each other will quickly expand. "The media has received a lot of attention during this one to two months. Such news can't be concealed, so some commentators commented with a gun and a stick.
"I don't care how other media comment, I never thought too much, I want someone to make a reasonable explanation of this matter!" One of the media's executive directors was also accountable before, And called the directors to convene the board of directors, Bruce Kahn, sitting at the lower end of the long table in the conference room with a clanging tone, and glanced at Claude sitting on the left side of the head from time to time.
He is a middle-aged man in his forties. Dress is always decent, relatively conservative, and very concerned about financial budgets and investment plans.
"This is of course, Bruce, but... the meeting hasn't started yet." Robert Fleming, the same executive director, coughed awkwardly, then glanced at the empty seat.
As the chairman of the board of directors, he knew that the board of directors was aimed at his buddies this time, and he hasn’t appeared yet. What he means can be imagined.
Sure enough, after the promoter spoke out. Some people can't hold back: "What does it matter, before we can completely settle today's agenda."
"Yeah, this is not a contradiction, is it?" someone followed.
There is no doubt that Kahn has already recruited a group of directors, otherwise he will not ask for a board meeting at this time.
"No contradiction at all, I just want to know why Mr. Ron Reese, who is president and president, has serious communication problems with Mr. Chairman." Taking the opportunity of chatting to start a conversation, and won a lot of People agree. Kahn immediately began to make further troubles, and looked at Claude without blinking.
"There can be no communication problems between people," Claude said scornfully.
"You have been communicating very well with Mr. Chairman before this. This is the first; your bad communication has caused serious consequences, this is the second." Kahn looked aggressive, "No matter what, this These are irrefutable facts. In addition, I have heard that Mr. Chairman has never heard of the listing before you proposed it. I think you need to explain it."
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the conference room, and various whispers followed. Even the few directors who couldn't sit still couldn't help but look at Claude, one of them frowned and asked, "Is Bruce really talking, Claude?"
Although everyone here knows that because of the decentralization of Adrian, Claude can indeed bypass him to do whatever he wants to do, but if he does not say anything, he will not let me know when the matter is about to come. That is simply the rhythm of tearing the face. Did they really part ways? Some directors looked at the empty seats, their eyes uncertain.
"Me and Adrian do have conflicts in this regard, but after intense discussions and calmness, I have reached an understanding," Claude still has no expression. "We all agree to raise funds in the primary market."
But the answer of avoiding heaviness is not satisfactory, so Kahn immediately said: "But you can't explain why the plan has been done, and Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have agreed, but in the end they suddenly went out of the market. Changed to another level of market financing. Well, even if Mr. Chairman and you reached an understanding, what next? If the matter of Stanford was an accident, then when everyone questioned us, how did our media deal with it? ?Confusion, headlessness, inconsistency, and retreat, and there is no way to fight against the dirty water splashing on us, which ultimately leads to financing failure."
He didn't hide his tone of sarcasm. He didn't give face at all.
"Stanford's incident was an accident. In that case, it was unwise for the media to conduct large-scale excuses. We can only counterattack in a roundabout way and wait for a little to calm down before resuming." Claude never expressed any expression. .
These words he said are not unreasonable, but at this time, in the eyes of other directors, he and Gu Zhuo said there is no difference in his blame.
"As Mr. Chairman's best friend, you should never let Stanford happen!" Kahn said sharply.
"Bruce, this is not the responsibility of Mr. Ron Rees." Fleming seemed to want to persuade, but instead he brought the last topic to his hands.
"It's a pity that this is his responsibility!" Kahn raised his hands, "If this is not true, I can't imagine what responsibility Mr. Ron Reese, who was born as president and president!"
He said aloud: "So, in view of the losses suffered by the company, I suggest to remove Mr. Ron Rees!"
Several alliances that have been drawn by Kahn immediately echoed, and the remaining neutral directors all hesitated, especially when they saw the empty seat on the first one. Heavier. Just don't know why, Claude has no expression, has already committed his life? Still have a hole card?
"So, we now..." Kahn glanced at Claude proudly. I was about to continue talking, and then I heard a voice coming from the door of the meeting room: "I'm so sorry. I was late. I took Miss Brooklyn Dickel on the way to the studio and chatted a little more in the car. Delayed, I hope it's not too late."
Being able to speak in such a relaxed tone, as if you don’t have to worry about anything, is naturally the chairman of the media and the famous Hollywood dude Adrian.Kewell. Just look at his smug smile. The so-called chat in the car is just an excuse. As long as the woman gets in his car, it is equivalent to getting in his bed.
"What do you guys talk about, Crow?" After sitting down in his place, Adrian smiled and asked his partner, this gesture suddenly made some people sink in their hearts.
"About--how to remove me." Claude shrugged.
"Remove you? Why?" Adrian showed a strange look.
"We think Mr. Ron Rees has to take responsibility for this matter." Kahn said preemptively, although very serious, but his expression was somewhat uneasy.
"Are you talking about being photographed in a fight and then failing in financing?" Adrian asked.
"Yes, Mr. Chairman, and we believe. You were unaware of the listing." Kahn took a deep breath.
"Yes, I did not know at first," Adrian nodded unexpectedly, "But this is caused by me, I just glanced at the plan book he sent, not at all. Of course. , We also quarreled about this, but in the end took a step back. Decided to raise funds in the primary market. It was just some small bumps that were not solved, and then because of the contradictions I remembered when I participated in the Stanford cocktail party, I simply beat it. One. I didn’t expect a cleaner to be photographed and posted to the Internet, which eventually led to financing failure... Well, Crow does have some responsibility, but I am also the same."
After this sentence came out, several people changed their faces. Especially Bruce Kahn and the directors who previously attached to him. Adrian said this, it is equivalent to support Claude, so it is impossible to remove Claude. It is necessary to know that Adrian is not only the person with the most shares in the board of directors. It is also the major shareholder of the entire media, as long as he and Claude unite, no matter what kind of resolution can be passed.
The reason why Kahn would dismiss Claude is because of his disagreement with Adrian. During this time, it was indeed as rumored outside that since the quarrel for the listing, there were few people. It was very cold even to meet, so Kahn thought differently. In his view, if there is a huge rift between the two, as long as they stand firmly on the side of Adrian, then it is likely to replace Claude.
Ambitious ambitions, coupled with the hint of empty chair seats during the meeting, finally left Kahn gambled. Unexpectedly, looking at today's situation, these two people are simply doing a show, in order to let some people jump out.
"So is there anything else?" Adrian asked immediately.
Several directors look at me and I look at you. They shook their heads involuntarily. They were put together in this way. Even if there was an issue, they would not dare to raise it. God knows what plans they have.
"Okay, then I have a proposal." Adrian's smile became subtle at this time, and several directors, including Kahn, couldn't help but feel nervous. Is it so fast? !
"I propose to disqualify Robert Fleming as an executive director and be expelled from the board of directors." Who knows what he said from Adrian is the case.
The meeting room was quiet for a few seconds, followed by a coup, he thought he intended to expel Kahn, who had previously embarrassed Claude, how could he turn to Fleming who had spoken to Claude before.
"This... why is this?" Fleming was shocked.
"Did you say the wrong thing, Adrian?" a director immediately asked, his face a little bit ugly
"Yeah, for what reason should Robert be expelled?" another director asked in a hurry, so that the unreasonable expulsion of the director, but also the executive director, would only make everyone in danger.
"Is the group’s confidential information sold to Rupert Murdoch. Is this reason enough?" Adrian, who was smiling, said in a gentle tone, and then greeted him, and soon an assistant came in from the door and will Put the prepared folder in front of the directors.
Everyone, including Bruce Kahn, showed a shocked look, glanced at Fleming with a pale face, and quickly opened the folder in his hand. The voice of Adrian followed the movement of them. Get up: "On April 23, you and Murdoch met at the Raphael Club. On the third day, the original acquisition was defeated by Bide and was taken away by News Corp. half a month later. On May 13, you and Mo Docker called the phone once, and the "Adverts Madman" I watched a week later was bought by Fox at a large price; on June 19, you chatted with Murdoch separately at the charity party at the Four Seasons Hotel, and then a certain An employee left, and four days later, ox news network posted that I had an argument with Claude."
He smiled and looked at Fleming, who was already pale, "Do you want me to continue my example, Robert?"
Then he thought of something and said again: "Oh, yes, there is one more thing that instigates Bruce to convene the board of directors and make it difficult for Claude."
Kahn glared at Fleming immediately, and then showed a fearful look at Adrian. He didn’t expect that Fleming’s unintentional words that gave him firm confidence were using him as a gun. I didn’t even think that Adrian and Claude were very clear about it. For a while, I couldn’t help sweating. IndoMTL.com Or the video is out, and I don’t want to know how much benefit Murdoch has given you. I just want to say, "Adrian put his smile away and pointed to the door of the meeting room. "Now, get out of here. "
Flemin, who had lost her soul, stood up and walked out staggeringly, accompanied by the whispers of the directors.
"Okay, guys," Adrian clapped hands again after Fleming left. "I believe you are not interested in discussing other things at this moment, so let's break up first, but in the new Before the executive director was elected, I proposed that Bruce should be responsible for Robert's work-is it okay?"
The last sentence was directed at Kahn, who was stunned for a moment and didn't expect it to happen.
"Anyway, you are thinking about the company." Adrian smiled.
"It's an honour." Kahn immediately owed a little excitement. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (.) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.
