David Geffen glanced at Doug Morris behind him, knowing that this is the habit of the rich three generations, "I will."
"If you have doubts about the bid..."
During the concert, Bronfman and Barry Diller formally proposed to David Geffen the idea of buying the remaining shares of Geffen Records and MCA Records in his hands. The calculated psychological price was 600 million. Of course, the offer was not It will be so high.
David Geffen was shocked by this sudden attack, and also showed anger. In his eyes, Seagram Global Group is about to go public as a whole, and it is a bit immoral to drive people.
But...600 million. When David Geffen sold his Geffen records to MCA in 1992, he got a total of 550 million in cash and some shares of MCA records. Now those shares of MCA records plus the shares he retains Some of the shares in Gefen Records, the remaining six or seven years of the past, have been given a price of 600 million yuan. If you make a lot of money, what is not satisfied? According to the current market situation of the recording industry, I am afraid that I would have to laugh in dreams for others.
"Uh, I will send someone to negotiate with Doug. I'm sorry, I'll take a step..." David Geffen left with a gloomy face, "Go back and rest."
He was already very generous. Little Bronfman almost laughed when he looked at the dejected back of the other party. He was very happy, "Look for a chance to hint, if he is not savvy...let him remember that many of the DreamWorks release contracts are still with us. In his hand." He whispered to another cadre, Ron Meyer, President of Universal Pictures.
"Okay." Ron Meyer nodded.
Little Bronfman’s gaze fell down again. The crowd near the first row of the auditorium in the hall, Governor Peter Flock, Mayor Daley and other Chicago political figures and their family members were surrounded by Ann who had just rolled back from Washington. The Durwoods talked and laughed.
This Underwood still looks like a political magnate, smiling and socializing as if he is all right.
Humph!
"I heard that the chief commander has no plans to please this blue highland for the remaining two years?" he asked.
"Yes." Barry Diller replied in his tone: "There is no longer any use value for the chief couple here. Besides, Underwood messed up the impeachment vote of the House of Representatives."
"Ha ha……"
Little Bronfman sneered, and there was no reason to feel a little irritability in his heart. Although the other party received a severe lesson, he still doesn't know who offended him... Isn't that boring?
"There will be a dinner soon." Doug Morris reminded, "We are going to leave."
"OK."
The politicians below may have talked about themselves, and at the same time they looked up and waved to say hello. He also smiled and paid tribute.
"Governor Flock."
The dinner was held in a different place. This time it was not at Barenboi's house. The owner was the manager of the Symphony Center. Ta Shi Shiran and the Illinois governor couple socialized, "Mrs. Flock." The gentleman gave an old-fashioned kiss.
"It's an honor to meet you Mr. Bronfman, Mr. Diller, Mr. Morris, Mr. Meyer." Alicia greeted.
"Ha, I remember now, your law firm is acting as an agent for Amerika Music.com?" He recognized the woman, "titled partner?" Young Master Pian Pian did not care much.
"Yes, we are fighting." Alicia admitted generously.
"It's okay, it's just business, I understand." He knew that Peter Flock was fighting Little Daly in Chicago, and he secretly noted that he could not touch a governor who had just won the election for the time being, but he would definitely have a chance in the future.
"Mr. Bronfman, during my new term, Illinois will increase tax incentives for the entertainment industry. The conditions are good. I think we have the opportunity to deepen cooperation." Peter invested in the state lira.
"is it?"
"Of course, our policy is..." Peter introduced.
Doug Morris and Ron Meyer were next to explain the conversation, and the atmosphere was very good.
Forget it, give another chance. "Mrs. Flock, although I understand the responsibilities of lawyers, maybe we can also achieve long-term cooperation? Seagram Global Group also provides services to excellent lawyers and law firms like you. The need is urgent."
"Really?" Alicia was very happy. "That's great. Of course welcome. I'm honored."
Feeling his wife didn't realize the meaning, Peter squeezed her waist quietly.
"Uh, I'm currently..." Alicia reacted quickly and just said, "Hey, Mr. Bronfman." It happened that the Underwood couple also came to participate in the communication. Underwood stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "Thank you. Everything you do for the symphony center is so beautiful there."
"It should be."
none of your business? A federal congressman also described himself as the owner, "My family and I have the habit of supporting literary and artistic venues, creations and artists."
"Salute to you and your father." Underwood shook his head vigorously. "Claire, my wife."
"Hello there."
"Hello there."
"Claire is doing some women's equality and African charity affairs." Underwood introduced.
"Oh?"
Still have the face to ask me why I want money? The little Bronfman insisted on coping with the ghost.
‘Dangdang...’ At this time, the manager of the host’s symphony center tapped the glass with a spoon.
"Let's go over." The crowd gathered around.
After speaking some scenes, "Governor Flock..." The symphony center manager invited Peter Flock to give a speech.
Peter smiled and waved his hand to resign, and arched up Underwood, who had just returned. The others had long been tacitly coaxing in unison, wanting him to feel the warmth of Chicago politics.
"thanks, thanks."
Underwood walked to the center of the crowd with emotion, "Thank you, I am honored, I love Chicago!" He exclaimed affectionately: "It's great to be able to concentrate on coming back and continue serving here..."
He also had a set of repetition routines for regular speeches, and immediately picked up a short paragraph from when he was just working in Chicago, which made the whole room burst into laughter.
He did not deliberately avoid the failure in Washington, of course, mainly to elicit the content of betting and betting opponents later, "I have to mention an interesting person, my colleague in Congress, Mr. Newt Gingrich..."
"Hahaha!" The donkey party members present laughed again. Newt Gingrich actively advocated impeachment, but he was revealed that he had an office affair during marriage. He was a political clown who had been frequently used to compose jokes recently.
Underwood is still confident, humorous, and charming. The party whips for many years now come from a kind of domineering control, but all this is quite dazzling in the eyes of Young Bronfman.
"Well, I am actually not the protagonist here today, Mr. Bronfman, please."
Underwood finished his speech and began to drive everyone to applaud the invitation.
"Thank you, I am ashamed. Before supporting the Symphony Center, I myself have not had any in-depth exchanges with Chicago."
In the past, Underwood had a small gesture of holding one hand for a handshake and the other hand supporting his back. After going down, he whispered to the governor and his wife. Little Bronfman became more upset in his heart. He temporarily decided to make the other person more interesting. After the scenes, he continued: "My grandfather sold wine for a lifetime, and my father probably did, but I rebelliously love music and Hollywood..."
Everyone laughed.
"But I know that my family has countless indissoluble bonds with Chicago and Illinois. For nearly a hundred years, Seagram has been buying agricultural products here, using barley to make whiskey and potatoes to make vodka and Aquavit. A Nordic wine..."
