Chapter 813: Warning

Donne's takeover of Liverpool FC is almost a foregone conclusion.

Just wait for the symbolic board of directors to pass, and then you can go through the procedure, pay the money and reap the rewards.

However, in a small place like the UK, there are really no secrets.

The news of Don Capital's acquisition of Liverpool spread throughout the British Isles overnight!

"Bright Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang!Done's Real Goal - Liverpool!"

"The Javeliners failed, and the Red Army became a spare tire. 》

"Liverpool is Donne's second choice!"

"Americans will buy Liverpool, where do the Premier League giants go?"

"Liverpool, who is hungry, is making a big mistake. 》

"Football Surrenders to Capital!"

"Hollywood director plays football, what a ridiculous American humor. 》

"Donn is making a football blockbuster. 》

……

All kinds of ridiculous articles soon spread all over the streets of Britain.

That posture is exactly the same as when Donn contacted Arsenal a month ago!

Unlike Arsenal, Liverpool officials immediately made a statement, saying that the rumored acquisition is indeed happening. But the rumours are completely untrue, and Done Walker is a loyal Liverpool fan who grew up listening to Beatles songs and has a lot of love for Liverpool.

However, such a statement is not very effective in a sea of insults and condemnation.

When Don heard the news, he was attending the premiere of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", which was held one day earlier on the release date, in Los Angeles, and there were many celebrities, and the scene was very lively.

A big director of Roland Emmerich's level, who has carefully produced a commercial blockbuster for three years, will definitely attract great attention in the industry.

In contrast, "The End of the World", which is also a disaster film, directed by female director Mimi Ryder, which was released a week ago, is much less popular.

In the past week, only $55 million was earned at the North American box office, and the final global box office is estimated to be around $300 million.

"Who's the initiator?"

After the movie screening, Don was talking and laughing with Amy Rosen, the heroine of "The Day After Tomorrow", which was quite ambiguous. When she heard bad news from Ella Fisher, her face suddenly became serious.

"It's BBC News. ”

"BBC again?"

Donn's eyes twinkled, revealing a hint of self-evident irritation.

Tall, delicate, and sweet-looking, Amy Rosen saw that Donn's face was not good, so he said with interest: "Sir, I'll go over there to visit Director Lucas." ”

Donn nodded, "Well, go ahead." ”

She is not yet 18 years old, and although her appearance is very exciting, she can't be in a hurry yet.

Anyway...... Can't run either!

This girl has been popular in the past few years, and then flop directly. relied on the American drama "Shameless" to become popular again. However, her personality route has completely changed, from a jade girl to a lustful woman......

Tang En is definitely going to start in the Jade Girl period.

"What the hell is this BBC going to do?"

Don was so upset that he didn't want to stay at the premiere any longer and attend the rest of the party, so he drove back to the office.

Ella Fisher pondered, "I guess...... Maybe it's a hard work, right?"

"You understand again?"

Sitting in the car, Don looked at her amusedly.

Ella Fisher's face flushed slightly, "You asked me!"

Tang En waved his hand and said with a smile: "Praise you, what did you say...... It also makes sense. ”

This year's BBC has just changed its CEO, and Mark Thompson, who is the editor-in-chief, has risen to the top!

A new broom sweeps clean.

The first thing to be solved is the BBC's three major dilemmas: low profit margins, News Corp attacks, and the threat of the British government to freeze its funding sources.

After Mark Thompson succeeded him, his first priority was to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and lay off employees on a large scale!

In two months, more than 1,000 people have been laid off!

The purpose is simple, save money and increase profits!

If you want to give the BBC new vitality and vitality, it is not enough to spend less, but more importantly, to make more money!

How to make more money?

For a TV station, of course, it is to broadcast an influential TV program that the audience likes.

Maybe...... This is the biggest reason why he provokes Donne!

For the past few years, New Universal's TV content partner in the UK has been Sky TV, which is controlled by News Corporation.

……

Mark Thompson had a bit of a headache, he had just finished a call with Disney CEO Michael Eisner, and not long after, he received another important call from the owner of the New York Times, Arthur Salisberg Jr.

Mark Thompson's wife is an employee of The New York Times.

The two sides have always maintained a good personal relationship.

"Mark, what's the matter with you?" Salzberg's tone was a little questioning.

Mark Thompson was slightly bitter, "It's Done?"

"You know?"

"Truth be told, this is the third call. I had just spoken to Disney's Eisner on the phone 10 minutes ago, and I was contacted by Mr. Roberts of Comcast 20 minutes earlier. ”

Salzberg was silent for a long time before he said solemnly: "You can also see that he is in the media industry in the United States...... With unshakable connections and prestige. I can assure you that Disney and Comcast can help him talk today, and ...... tomorrow You can really help him do things!"

Mark Thompson frowned and asked in confusion, "Old man, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Salzberg laughed angrily: "You don't know yet? Don't even know who Don is, and dare to provoke him one after another? A football club is so important?"

Don ...... What the hell does he mean?"

Mark Thompson has never been in contact with Donn, so how do you know who he really is? At most, I have seen some lace reports in the media, saying that he is the biggest playboy in Hollywood.

Although disdainful, it is normal.

Not to mention the entertainment kingdom of Hollywood, even within the BBC, the relationship between men and women is ...... The scale is smaller again? Which beautiful female host doesn't have one or two big producers or company executives standing behind her?

Salzberg said sharply: "He's warning you!Mark, we're friends, I'm all I say, Don's business, you have to change the way you deal with it, he is a character who eats soft and doesn't eat hard, you dare to mess with him...... He's not going to give up!"

"Warn me?"

Mark Thompson was deeply disapproving, and even sneered in his heart.

He was an Englishman, separated from the United States across the Atlantic, and had little knowledge of Donne's reputation in the United States.

Who is he?

He is the new CEO and President of the BBC!

It's a state-owned enterprise executive!

A foreigner, can still have an impact on him?

Besides, Mark Thompson is a ruthless and unscrupulous master to achieve his goals, otherwise he would not have started to lay off employees as soon as he took office.

And within a year, 3,500 employees will be laid off.

He is not afraid of such a big layoff pressure in China, but he will be afraid of a foreign film director?

Salzberg also heard the contempt in his words, and said seriously: "Mark, as a friend, I will tell you one last time, Donn, don't mess with you, you can't afford to mess with it! You heard about Harvey Weinstein, right?"

"Oh, just a filmmaker. Mark Thompson didn't care.

Salzberg said in a deep voice: "This matter is far more complicated than you think! I can tell you very responsibly that Don dares to attack Harvey Weinstein at such a time, and there is no one in this world that he does not dare to deal with!"

Mark Thompson still didn't listen, but the heads of Comcast, Disney and The New York Times contacted him one after another, and he always wanted to sell some face, saying, "Okay, I see, this is ...... I'll give him an explanation. ”

Salzberg breathed a sigh of relief, "That's the best! Remember, be humble, be humble, be apologised! Arsenal and Liverpool, you've already made two mistakes. This third time if you still can't handle it well...... I'm afraid something unspeakable will happen!"

Mark Thompson almost burst out laughing.

American companies, everything is good, but the marketization is too serious, resulting in whoever occupies the market has the greatest right to speak.

However, the BBC is a state-owned enterprise!

Whatever bullshit market you have!

The BBC is financed by a "licence fee" as set out by law, followed by a government subsidy fee.

No matter how powerful Donn is, can he still influence the decision-making of the British government?

Can you cut off the BBC's financial resources?

The money is endless, I'm afraid of a fart!

Mark Thompson was very absent-minded about Salisberg's repeated admonitions, and said lightly: "Okay, I see." ”

Hung up the phone, and a little mockery appeared on the corner of Mark Thompson's mouth.

After thinking for five minutes, he called his assistant and said very seriously, "Contact Don Walker...... Forget it, contact New Global directly......"

……

The BBC is a state-owned enterprise and is the propaganda team of the British government.

This makes it very tricky for Donn to deal with the BBC incident.

If it had been placed in the past, with Arsenal and Liverpool, Don would definitely not have said a word, and went straight to the job, and the big-eared melon seeds slapped back fiercely!

But the BBC is different, and it has to be handled with care.

To save some face for the British royal family and the British government.

Jimmy Saville, that scumbag, must be dealt with, if nothing else, he almost did something to Emma Watson...... I can't bear it!

Because of his special relationship with the BBC, Don doesn't want a surprise attack, so it's best to ventilate the other party and deal with it together.

Lest the BBC be too passive.

That's why Donn contacted the BBC through Comcast, Disney and The New York Times.

Give a warning and get them to admit their mistake.

Then turn the conflict into a friendship and negotiate a settlement of Jimmy Saville's affairs.

Don only issued a warning, but did not directly attack, which in the eyes of his industry peers in the United States, this method is really too kind and too docile.

In the past, once Tang En made a move, which time was not a sudden death move?

I don't know what choice Mark Thompson, an Englishman, will make...... (https:)
