Chapter 244 Rejection of the Request
Henry Sturgis Morgan saw that no one could contradict his suggestion, and immediately made a decision. "The request of Universal Pictures to purchase the copyright of Forrest Gump was rejected. ”
When the elders heard this, they nodded their heads and said they had no objections, which also marked that John's "Forrest Gump" was about to say goodbye to Universal Pictures completely.
The meeting could have ended here, but Henry Sturgis Morgan had no intention of adjourning the meeting, and suddenly said it in front of everyone.
"Everyone, the copyright problem of Forrest Gump has been solved, let's discuss the problem of this president!"
Henry Sturgis Morgan picked up the letter from Sidney Neuberg and raised it in his hand. "Looking at this official letter, do you find anything wrong?"
When the crowd heard Henry Sturgis Morgan's words, they picked up the letter again and looked at it carefully.
The elders of the Morgan family were not as young as John, and when they were young, they either set up their own mountains and worked hard outside. Either they oversee the affairs of the family. When they are old and close to retirement, the best of them will enter the presbyterian church and become the elders of the Morgan family.
Therefore, the people sitting in this office are all human spirits, especially Henry Sturgis Morgan, who is the Great Elder, who is the human spirit of human spirits, how can Sidney Neuberg's careful thinking hide from him!
Soon one of the elders noticed the problem and looked up at Henry Sturgis Morgan, who was sitting on the throne, and asked for confirmation. "Great Elder, do you mean that President Sidney Neuberg is taking advantage of the opportunity to cling to JK and has the intention of using JK?"
When they heard him say this, they all looked up at Henry Sturgis Morgan.
Henry Sturgis Morgan said slowly under everyone's gaze. "Ladies and gentlemen, why did this Sidney Neuberger send such an official letter to the group at this time, what is his intention, and what is his purpose?" continued Henry Sturgis Morgan, without waiting for anyone to answer. "He received the same order as Sony, but as far as I know, JK's agent went to Sony first, and then to Universal, and he sent such an official letter to the group on the premise that Sony had refused, and the intention of it is difficult to be suspicious. ”
"But it's also possible that he saw that Sony rejected JK, and was worried that JK's film release would be aborted, so he had to send such an official letter to the group?" one of the elders said differently.
"This possibility is not ruled out. Henry Sturgis Morgan nodded slightly, "Whether he has other intentions, or is it really to help JK, in fact, it is very certain, we just need to verify whether this official letter was sent before he met JK, or after he met, everything will naturally fall into place." ”
Everyone nodded involuntarily when they heard Henry Sturgis Morgan's words.
If Sidney Neuberger's letter was sent to the group before he met John, it means that he did things reasonably and did not cling to and exploit John. Because he sent an official letter to the group first, the possibility of being rejected will be very high, and once it is rejected, then there is no way for John to know what he has done, so where does it come from to climb and use?
But if he met John first and sent the official letter, then this matter is different, because he met John first, so no matter whether the official letter will be rejected by the group or not, John will know about it and will receive his favor.
As for how to determine whether this official letter was sent before he met John, or after he met him, this matter is easy to verify, just ask the people around John, when John went to Universal Pictures, and then look at the time when this official letter was sent.
Soon, the timing of Sidney Neuberg's letter was determined, and it was easy to know that it was just a phone call to the special service team protecting John, and then a visit to the mailroom to ask when the letter was sent.
After verification, it was finally determined that Sidney Neuberg's official letter was sent after meeting Nancy.
This makes it even more certain that his intention is to cling to and take advantage of John, and Nancy, as John's agent, uses Nancy's mouth to lure John to Universal Pictures, and then let John know what he has done.
All of this can be said to have been designed by Sidney Neuberg, and seeing Nancy, he offered to buy the rights and sent an official letter to attract John to the world, one of which shows that he was thoughtful and planned this thing for a long time.
And from this incident, it can also be seen that Sidney Neuberg is very smart, knowing that the time when the official letter is sent will expose his intentions and arouse the suspicion of some people, so he chose to send it after meeting Nancy and before meeting John, but he doesn't know that being smart is mistaken by being smart, and sometimes the more he wants to cover up, the more he will show his feet, and the person he has to face is not John's tender head, but a group of old foxes who have read countless people, churned in the sea of power for decades, and finally stood out.
Fighting against such a group of people, his methods seem a little immature, and they are not enough to see.
And after the elders of the Morgan family determined his true intentions, many of them were directly furious.
"What is he trying to do? Is he young and inexperienced in bullying JK?"
"Hmph! Those who cheat and cheat like this should be expelled from the group and never hired. ”
"It's too cheap for him, and we should make an example of people like him. ”
The crusade against Sidney Neuberg continued to sound in the conference room, and Henry Sturgis Morgan, who was sitting in the main seat, did not express any opinion, and only after everyone had almost vented the anger in his heart did he cough a few times and said slowly.
Sidney Neuberg is just a small person, it doesn't matter whether he is punished or not, the most important thing for us is JK's assessment. ”
Some elders disagreed with his words, and since Sidney Neoberg deliberately used John to climb up, it was tantamount to not taking the Morgan family seriously, and he must not be reversed for such a person.
But before the elders could retort, Henry Sturgis Morgan continued.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is our task to evaluate JK, but how to make him better and how to make him better able to lead the Morgan family in the future is the responsibility of our elders.
It is said that words are better than examples, and teaching by example is not as good as personal experience, since the president jumped out by himself, then let's borrow him to teach JK a good lesson, so that JK knows that those who reach out to him in times of crisis are not necessarily friends, and sometimes they may be enemies.
Let's sit back and see how JK understands this truth, and by the way, see how high the president climbs and how badly he falls. ”
In the end, Henry Sturgis Morgan's opinion was unanimously agreed by all the elders, and as elders, they had a task to evaluate John, but as elders, they also wanted John to be a better person.
And people can only grow after going through hardships, and the flowers cultivated in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain, and they believe that after John's experience, he will become more mature and will become a more qualified heir.
