"Old friend, you jumped up and down on Warner to block APLUS, this time I know Disney can't hide it from you, but you must stop doing bad things, otherwise..."
Daniel called midway and threatened very bluntly: "You know that guy is very mindful. We are just senior managers. Is it worth it to take too much risk for the childish mutual arrogance of billionaires?"
"You really look like his dog now, Daniel." He sneered viciously.
The wife who was helping to tie his tie slapped him on the chest in dissatisfaction when he heard him curse.
"Don't forget our case, Doug, this time Disney can't agree with me. I guess APLUS is really anxious. You help him and help me and yourself." At the moment, Daniel continued on his own initiative. Advise, "We have one last chance."
Doug Morris took a deep breath and replied: "Please tell him, I can help this time, but you, you and him must keep this in mind and keep it secret. You owe me once and never forget. "
"Okay! Thank you, Doug!" Daniel was so happy when he heard that, "I would like to express my gratitude to you for him!"
Doug Morris was not in the mood to listen to the compliments, and after hanging up, he turned off his phone and threw it into his briefcase.
"Handsome old man." The wife tidied up her tie and looked at the full-length mirror in front of her with a smile, "just like a cardinal." She was very religious.
"is it?"
He also put aside his focus and admired the mirror. Now he is undoubtedly the weakest person on the ring and the most likely to be unlucky. Barry Diller deliberately left a Disney way for APLUS, but if he does nothing, So as soon as APLUS goes to Disney, which is strong and has great potential, it has a high probability of turning over. When you look back, you must be behind the boss Bronfman.
By then Barry Diller would definitely not be a righteous helper, he could see that.
And if I continue to block the dead hand, I will completely attract the hatred of APLUS. There are three billionaires before and after, and there are big players like David Geffen and Barry Diller... I really need French red clothes today. The diplomatic and political wisdom of Bishop Richelieu can pass the barrier.
Before he walked to Bronfman's office, he knocked gently on the door, took the folder out of the briefcase, held it in his arms, smiled after hearing the command to'come in', and opened the door to meet.
"Doug..."
The office is very dim. Your son is sleeping on the sofa, but his face is much haggard. He lifted the thin blanket and yawned, "Sit down, don't turn on the headlights."
"Why don't I change it..." The boss is diligent.
"No, don't..."
Bronfman sat up and rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "Although I am the youngest entertainment tycoon in the media, I am actually forty years old, alas..."
"You, then I should resign and retire at my age." Doug Morris laughed.
"No, this period of time is very important to the company, we can only grit our teeth." Bronfman smiled bitterly.
"What's wrong with you today? So emotional?" Doug Morris asked.
"Oh!" Bronfman continued to sigh, "As far as I have observed from the Asian market... it feels better than your previous suggestion. Now you can only continue to separate the Australian region, increase some costs, and make those executives not Bite yourself first."
"I am not as mature as my father after all..." He criticized himself uncharacteristically.
Actually... admitted... Is it really frustrated and started to change? Hearing these sincere words from the boss, Doug Morris was also moved in his heart, "How come..."
"Don't mention this." Bronfman waved his hand. "Will you have a result today? How is the progress?"
"Oh." He submitted the document and turned on the desk lamp.
"The original price of 80 million redeemed 50% of the A+ record, including the copyright and track management rights of the three singles of Cup of Life, earene, and an'HldUs. APLUS personally refunded another 50 million signing gold?"
Bronfman murmured as he watched, "This strange private equity buyer belongs to Barry Diller, right?"
The opportunity came, "Yes, the actual controller is Barry Diller, the boss, maybe I shouldn’t say something, but Barry Diller agreed to help us to let the other four block APLUS, and leave a gap for Disney. APLUS diamonds, so APLUS may use Metropolis Records, a joint venture with Disney, to buy back A+ Records... The past two years he and Disney have had a good time working together."
Bronfman raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Because Barry is not familiar with the recording industry, I leave you here just to check for him."
Well, you haven't changed, "Yes, this should be my responsibility..."
Doug Morris instantly made up his mind to maintain the original plan, "So today I am going to have a good chat with Mr. Eisner to prevent Disney from accepting A+ records."
"That's great. Get close to Mr. Eisner." Bronfman nodded appreciatively. "By the way, thank him for me."
"Uh...hehe."
Seeing the boss's posture about to lie back, Doug Morris quickly piled up an embarrassed smile, "But the guy Eisner... you know, he always thinks he is higher than me. So... hehe, and so……"
"What's the matter? Just go straight if you want to." Bronfman asked.
"How about you and him yourself..."
"Yes, just make an appointment for me."
"He's at a nearby golf course." Doug Morris pointed to the watch and smiled. "Now."
"You, you..."
Bronfman understood, and he smiled when he tapped his finger, "It's well done. Ask someone outside to get my golf equipment and bring in a cup of coffee."
"Will it be too hard just like this..."
"My energy is not so bad for Doug. I will change my clothes later." Bronfman hummed and got up.
On a golf course not far from Universal Studios, Disney Emperor Eisner stands on the highest point on the green, behind which is the flag of the hole waving in the wind, standing beside him is only a close friend, Lyndon, president of Disney Copyright Corporation.
Looking into the distance with his obese body who had undergone several heart surgeries with a club, Eisner withdrew his gaze from Ms. E Sloan of Litman Media who was talking on her mobile phone by the golf cart. "Friends are the same thing. Colleagues are another matter Linton." He.
"I know."
Linton replied: "I will not really be disrupted by the so-called friendship with APLUS. I am based on the company and your interests. Now Universal and Sony Columbia Records have reached a duet alliance. Warner, EMI, and BG have chosen and RealNerks cooperated. There are not many gaps left in the online legal music website of the record industry. I think maybe we have a basis for cooperation with Amerika Music website, and there are not many choices for both parties. It happens that APLUS is eager to get out... …"
"Ha ha."
Eisner smiled and shook his head to interrupt the other party, "We just bought 40% of Infseek's shares, didn't we? Infseek's boss Kirsch told me a lot of bad things about APLUS."
"Kirsch just wants us to buy the remainder of Infseek. He doesn't want potential competitors."
Linton: "And he and APLUS have had a lot of holidays because of their business. For example, he supported the former president of Amerika Music.com, the keyboard thief Dile."
"I know."
Eisner squinted like a laid-back old lion, and watched Ms. Sloan ride away in the golf cart. "But Infseek also has a music community... I think this is enough. There is already a Jobs from Pixar Animation. I'm too lazy to fight another billionaire who is more restless and equally influential in society. It is very tiring to control that kind of person. I want to live a few more years. Although APLUS clamored on the phone yesterday The land’s request for acceptance, and swear to God to work honestly for Disney and me from now on, as pitiful as a homeless dog... But such youngest self-made billionaire is even more terrifying, isn’t it?"
