Chapter 203: The Storm Strikes

These bigwigs compare others to themselves, and they also know that it is stupid not to take the opportunity to ask for benefits, but how can this kind of thing be guaranteed in writing, this is to give people a handle.

Casio had no choice but to say, "That's only when MJ wakes up tomorrow morning." "He won't fall for these bureaucrats, being an official is reliable, and the sow will go up the tree.

The federal justice said, "Oh my God! these are strong-blooded, youthful and restless children, and God knows what will happen when they get together." ”

"Don't look at me, there are signs of fan gatherings everywhere in solidarity, and I've sent all the police officers under my command, and there are no one available unless the governor orders the National Guard to be mobilized," said the Los Angeles police chief. ”

The assistant governor said: "This is impossible, sending the National Guard will only exacerbate the contradictions, do you want to have another big explosion like '93, there is always a solution, right?"

The chairman of the United States Music Association said: "MJ has been treated too unfairly over the years, and today he must be given a little benefit to make people willing to do things." ”

Casio said, "Let the children do the work, and give candy!"

The assistant governor said: "We are here to solve the problem today, not to pass the buck to each other, I suggest that the five of us sign a letter of guarantee in private form to guarantee that the trial will be completed within two weeks and that justice will be given to MJ." ”

Casio said, "I can accept this plan. ”

Howard, president of the United States Soni, was very troubled, and the anti-Dongying trend in the past week or so made him a little scrambling, and he could see that this was aimed at the United States Soni, and he sent a public relations team and lobbyists to carry out crisis public relations.

A few days ago, the court of the United States officially ordered Soni to stop selling PS and PS2 in the United States, and to pay 90 million US dollars in infringement damages to the Californian high-tech company Immersion Technology.

In recent years, games have been one of Soni's main sources of revenue, accounting for 44% of the group's total revenue from October to December last year, while the home appliance division is still declining due to the price war.

Immersion, a small developer of digital touch technology in California, argued that Sony's vibrating controller and a number of related games infringed their patent rights.

In fact, this lawsuit is a long-standing one, and last year a California court awarded Soni $82 million in damages, which has increased to $90 million due to interest factors, which is equivalent to four times the total revenue of Immersion Technology in 2004, and the company's total market capitalization is only $140 million.

Due to the importance of the matter, the United States Soni immediately expressed dissatisfaction with the verdict, saying that it would continue to sue a higher court, and during this time, Soni will continue to sell PS, PS2, related game controllers, and the 47 games indicated in the complaint, but a spokesman for Soni also said that it will pay the "necessary" licensing fees to Immersive Technology.

After the California court announced the verdict, the stock price of Immersive Technology soared by 36%, while the stock price of Soni fell slightly by 0.23%, which made Howard, the head of the United States Sony, very annoying, especially the critical moment of the group's acquisition of MGM.

After the anti-Dongying wave, both Howard and Dongying's parent company were worried about the acquisition of MGM, and Soney's ambition to become the company with the most film assets on the planet was disappointed, but Cork, the tycoon, took it all over, saying that he was in Congress, the House of Representatives, The Senate is very well-connected, as long as they pay $2.5 billion first, sign the contract immediately, and pay the balance within 10 days, MGM is theirs, and they can complete the deal before Congress takes action, and in the face of the fait accompli, Congress has no choice but to pinch its nose and admit it.

After discussing with the parent company, Howard decided to agree to the transaction, after which he will be transferred to the headquarters, serving as the chairman and president of the parent company, becoming the first foreign head of this multinational group with 160,000 employees.

Howard Stringer was born in Wales, England in 1942, he became a naturalized in '85 and worked as a reporter, producer and CEO for CBS, spent 30 years at CBS, won an Emmy Award nine times between '74 and '76, and his CBS Evening News with Dan Lasher was the most-watched news program in the country.

Since 1997, he has served as the President of the Group, and since November 2003, he has been in charge of the business and the global film and music entertainment division, and has developed the music and film business from the verge of decadence into the current pillar industry of Suni and has become a world-renowned management strongman.

In the early days of Soni, he began to make drastic reforms, improved the unprofitable Columbia film business department, and led the distribution of the "Spider-Man" series of films, making the film business group the main source of profit for Soni, and in the middle of last year, he once again led the merger into MGM Pictures with rich connections, and merged Soni Music and Boardman into Soni Boardman Music Entertainment, becoming one of the world's three major music companies.

Because of his outstanding performance, he was nominated as the head of the $50 billion market value of the Suni Group, becoming the first foreign head of the group since its establishment, Mark knew that this long-awaited strongman could not lead Suni back to glory, and at the end of his two terms, the market value of Suni Group was only half of what it was when he took office.

It can be said that as long as the acquisition of MGM and ATV is successful, and the Suney Entertainment division continues to be strong, his nomination for promotion will undoubtedly be approved.

It was at this time that the last thing he wanted to see happened.

At the entrance of the Santa Barbara City Courthouse, after the fans sang "Four Seas Family" several times, a helicopter fell from the sky, MJ stepped off the plane with the support of two nurses, he burst into tears, his voice was heard through the loudspeaker throughout the square: "I am very grateful for everyone's support for me, I can only get to where I am today with you, but I believe that justice will not be late, the law will give me justice, now I implore you to go home immediately, return to your loved ones, and wait for justice to come, I love you, I love everyone, thank you very much!" ”

As he spoke, he hugged and shook hands with the fans who poured in, and the TV station's broadcast truck filmed it all and broadcast it to thousands of households, at this moment, MJ's image was so tall, his words seemed to have some kind of magic, and after his repeated pleas, the fans waved and reluctantly left.

Some fierce fans raised their middle fingers at the TV cameras: "If the damn court doesn't give MJ a clean slate, next time it's burned down the courthouse!"

This sentence was echoed by many people, and they threatened to give the dog officials a good look!"

For these brainless masters, of course, the policemen who blocked the various street intersections did not dare to stop them, and they wished that they would leave early, so they immediately withdrew the blockade line and let these people leave, and persuaded them with good words: "Child, go home early? It's not good to stay in such a cold place." ”

When all the fans left the gate of the courthouse, it was already 20 o'clock in the evening, and the square, which was crowded with people just now, was now sparsely populated, leaving only the garbage blown by the cold wind, more like the scene after a crazy party.

It wasn't until the fans were gone that the doors of the courthouse dared to reopen.

Many people are satisfied that this matter has been satisfactorily resolved, Howard and Motorola are also one of them, especially Motorola, he has made MJ miserable, this is an irresolvable hatred, after he has been smeared for so long, his popularity and appeal are still so great, it seems that he has to work harder and continue to rectify him.

However, he had only been proud for a few minutes when Howard called, scolded him, and asked him to transfer to Fox TV immediately, he felt that it was not good, and hung up Howard's phone and immediately transferred it to Fox TV.

The news of his assistant Turner's interview was playing on it: "Yes, Motora is a racist, he hates all colored people, he often says that if it weren't for these who could make money for him, he would have kicked them out of Soni, and he called them slaves, parasites, and trash!"

The reporter asked incredulously, "With all due respect, I don't believe that Motorola will say this to you?"

Turner's expression remained unchanged and said, "Because I'm a member of the Ku Klux Klan, he treats me as one of his kind!"

The reporter said, "What made you say all this?"

"What happened today, especially the chorus of 10,000 people that took place in front of the Santa Barbara City Courthouse, gave me a great shock, listening to them sing "One Family from All Seas" in unison, there were whites, blacks, yellows and Latinos, they worked hard for one belief, and they passed on the spirit that made me ashamed of what I did!"

The reporter asked, "What have you done?"

Turner said: "Motomi did a lot of despicable and shameless things in order to seize the ATV equity in Mr. Jackson's hands, and he tried his best to discredit him and slander him in order to make Mr. Jackson sell his ATV equity, saying that he didn't want to be a black, **, pervert, bankrupt, how funny is it to say that Mr. Jackson is bankrupt, he has half of the equity in the hands of Niko Music, with a market value of 2.5 billion US dollars? How could he go bankrupt, Soni Music went bankrupt, he would go bankrupt, this is just a means for Motorola to discredit Mr. Jackson, he has been slandering the ATV's equity for a long time, and he is also inciting the dissatisfaction and hatred of shareholders against Mr. Jackson within the company. ”

The reporter said: "All this was manipulated by Motorcycle? You must know that if there is no evidence, this is an extremely serious crime of defamation." ”

Turner said: "A lot of things were done through me, at that time, I didn't know the shame of what I did, and I didn't leave any evidence, but I have ironclad evidence that Motora colluded with Snedden!"

This sentence not only frightened the blonde female reporter, but also scared the motorcycle.
