Lei Shidong's stake in Viacom Group is less than 7%. But through a holding company, he holds more than 70 percent of the voting rights.

Therefore, in the Viacom Group, Lei Shidong can do everything he wants and has the power to make decisions.

However, Pestella was spun off and lacked the control of the holding company, and Lei Shidong had lost his right to speak to Peskind and was only a small shareholder.

According to normal logic, Pepsi has something big, and it is impossible for him to come forward.

On the one hand, he pays attention to his face, and on the other hand, his influence on Peskind is indeed no longer as strong as in the past.

Lei Shidong took the initiative to communicate with New Global this time, wanting to resolve the intensifying price war between Netflix and Pepsi, mainly due to a series of chain reactions.

Most of Viacom's shareholders are also shareholders of Pescard.

Recently, Lei Shidong fired President Mel Kamashin, and if he wants to arrange a new management structure, he needs to be approved by the rest of the board.

Even if he has absolute control, Viacom really can't mess around anymore. It is necessary to take measures to calm down the civil unrest in Viacom as soon as possible and restore investor confidence.

So, it's actually a deal.

Lei Shidong came out for Pepsi for the first time, in exchange for the strong support of Viacom's internal shareholders and directors to strengthen the reform.

Unexpectedly, New Global refused to express its position!

Lei Shidong was naturally not reconciled.

"Has the North American box office of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" exceeded 100 million?" Lei Shidong heard such a report, his face was unwavering, but the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised.

"This book is so popular that it drives movie sales. The good results of the movie have led to the continued popularity, which is complementary to each other. Brad Gray, the new chairman of Paramount, made a very objective analysis.

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" grossed more than $130 million in North America and $310 million worldwide in seven days after its release.

For Paramount, there is only envy, jealousy and hatred.

"What about that big project of yours?" asked Lei Shidong quietly.

Brad Gray said: "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snich is scheduled for the end of July next year, which can avoid "The Incredibles" at the end of May, "Pirate League 2: Soul Gathering" at the beginning of July, and of course "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" at Christmas. At this stage, we have the highest insurance factor. ”

Lei Shidong didn't like this kind of dodgy and cowardly behavior, but he knew that it was helpless.

In the movie box office market, Don En can't be suppressed.

The whole of Hollywood combined, I am afraid it will be difficult to contain his strong momentum.

"This big project is not only for Paramount, but for Viacom as a whole. I need a foolproof outcome!"

Lei Shidong is not willing to sink, he has been planning the revival of Viacom.

First the split of Pepsi, and then the dismissal of Mel Kamassin.

Next, it will rely on the strength of several important business sectors such as CBS, Paramount, MTV, and Black Entertainment.

The most lucrative industry in the entertainment industry is television, but the most powerful industry is film.

Why?

Television is the economic center of the entertainment industry, but movies are the political center of the entertainment industry!

Hollywood is the window for the export of American culture!

Therefore, the revival of Paramount plays a crucial role in the overall strategic pattern of Viacom Group!

If Paramount rises, Viacom will rise, and if Paramount continues to slump, then Viacom will ...... It will also become depressed day by day.

After listening to Brad Gray's assurances, Lei Shidong let him go.

Sitting alone in an office, pondering for a long time.

Then, he called Don directly.

This is the first time the two have spoken on the phone in more than a year!

"Somer, don't come unharmed?"

On the other end of the phone, there was Don's voice of beating.

Summer...... It's the name of Summer.

But what is Lei Shidong's identity and status?

Don't look at this, the age is there, he is already in his eighties!

Even figures like Jack Welch, Bill Gates, and President George W. Bush should be honored as "Mr. Lei Shidong" when they see him!

It's too much to call him by his first name in an extremely rude way like Donne!

Lei Shidong endured his anger and said indifferently: "Well, I'm still alive." ”

"Hehe, congratulations. ”

Don said without a pain.

Lei Shidong almost died of anger!

Tang En didn't give him a chance, he directly sealed the words, and said lightly: "There is no need to say more about Netflix and Pepsi." Before the price war, I sent someone to say hello to you, right? So, there are some things that you don't regret when you do them! At least, I never regretted it!"

Lei Shidong said in a deep voice: "The matter of Pesda has nothing to do with me, I called today mainly to say another thing." ”

When Viacom encountered such a big predicament, Lei Shidong never bowed his head to Donne.

For the sake of a little thing about Pepsi, you want him to bow his head?

No way!

Bowing his head to a stinky boy who is younger than his grandson, he can't get out of that old face.

"Oh? ”

"MGM's delisting process is almost over, right?"

Tang En didn't need to hide it, and said calmly: "It's coming, two more months." ”

Lei Shidong said meaningfully: "Viacom was also interested in buying MGM at one time, but our valuation department believes that spending $3 billion to acquire MGM will take huge risks. MGM's poor performance of consecutive years of deficits is difficult to save. ”

Donn smiled, "Diamonds, only in the hands of Americans, are diamonds." The mining sites in Africa are broken stones in the hands of indigenous people. ”

Lei Shidong almost vomited blood.

This Donn, it's too much!

Are you sarcastically saying that I am indigenous to Africa?

"Okay, it's really terrifying!" Lei Shidong hadn't been so angry for many years, and he suppressed his anger, "If my news is correct, you bought MGM and wanted to close that label, right?"

"Huh?"

Don's heart jumped, and he immediately calmed down from his cynicism.

Lei Shidong snorted lightly: "MGM is a century-old label, and it has a very special meaning for Hollywood, whether it is USC or Oscar, it has a deep relationship with MGM. If it weren't for this, MGM would have been tortured at the hands of Corkerian for decades, and I am afraid that he would have disappeared into the stage of history long ago, just like Thunderbolt. ”

Don narrowed his eyes and said in an unkind tone, "What do you mean?"

Lei Shidong said lightly: "I don't mean anything else, if you need help, please feel free to speak." Those old guys in Hollywood, I still have some friendships, and I have a bit of thin face. So that when you close the MGM label, you don't have to suffer too much pressure from public opinion. ”

Don understood as soon as he heard it.

It's a threat!

Lei Shidong has friends with many old guys, he can follow the trend or go against the trend!

If Don doesn't make concessions on the matter of Netflix and Pepsi, then Lei Shidong is likely to create obstacles for Don on the matter of MGM.

Although the words are not broken, the meaning is already clear.

Don's face suddenly became gloomy, "Is this a deal?"

Lei Shidong said indifferently: "How you understand it, it's up to you." ”

Tang En sneered, "It's not a deal, it's a threat?"

Lei Shidong frowned, and admonished: "Little guy, don't have such a big temper!"

Tang En laughed angrily at his words of relying on the old and selling the old, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lei Shidong, this proposal of yours really interests me. Well, give me three days and I'll think about it. ”

Lei Shidong was stunned, he really didn't expect Tang En's attitude to change so quickly, "Yes, no problem!"

The corners of Don's mouth hooked, revealing a sneer, and said casually: "Oh, by the way, tonight at the West Hollywood Hotel, the New Universal Women's Rights Protection Foundation will hold its first public fundraising event for celebrities from all walks of life in Hollywood." If you have time, you can also participate. ”

"Protection of women's rights?"

Lei Shidong frowned.

As an eighty-year-old man, as a man who came from the era when male power was prevalent, he was both disgusted and disgusted by the word "feminism".

"Forget it. Lei Shidong responded lightly, "I wish you can raise more funds to help women fight for more rights and interests." ”

Don laughed and said, "Don't worry, soon!"

……

"Don, don't you like me anymore?"

Little Taylor pulled Donn's arm with tears in his eyes, and I felt sorry for him.

Don En had a headache, "Who said that? I haven't come to see you often because I'm busy with work during this time." No, I'll come when I have time?"

Little Taylor turned a deaf ear to his mother's admonition, and pouted: "But you didn't take me to see this year's Victoria's Secret show!"

At this year's Victoria's Secret show, Don didn't go.

On the one hand, because in those days, Masami Nagasawa and Yui Aragaki happened to come and a few Japanese girls came, which was very attractive; on the other hand, Don raised two Australian supermodels Megan Gale and Miranda Kerr in Los Angeles, and his interest in supermodels was not as strong as in previous years.

"I won't talk about it, I'm too busy at work. Of course, Don couldn't tell the truth to Little Lori, and coaxed her with a smile, "Haven't we all been to the Victoria's Secret show several times, today, I will take you to an important occasion, we have never been there." ”

"Really?"

Little Taylor jumped with joy, and his eyes sparkled like jewels.

Tang En petted her head dotingly, "Of course!"

"Where are you going?"

"The West Hollywood Hotel, a fundraiser, when the time comes, almost all the big stars in Hollywood, especially the female stars, will be there, which is much better than the Victoria's Secret show. ”

"I'm going! I'm going!"

Little Taylor jumped excitedly, smiling like a flower.

Her mother, Andrea Swift, came over from the kitchen in surprise, "Donne, you took her ...... for such an important occasion."

"It's okay!" Donn waved his hand, "she's a little girl, just like my sister." ”

For such a formal occasion, Don definitely can't attend with a mess of women, except for Natalie, and Taylor Swift is suitable, she is still a little girl.

It will not cause criticism.

Unexpectedly, little Taylor's white and tender little fist was raised on Tang En's face, and he said fiercely: "I'm not your sister!"
