Chapter 215: A Difficult Choice

This result is extremely harsh, and it is very far from Izumi's expectations, their expectation is that they are forced to go to the palace, and the people of the United States will provide a one-step solution to the crisis, and now it seems that the other party only promised not to kill him, and the crisis must be solved by itself.

Izui said: "In this way, we sell Soni entertainment cheaply, and there is no benefit at all?"

Martin said: "Without our sniping, you will be well, and when you see our power, you will know that you have messed with the wrong people." ”

"I need three days to think about it, and before that you have to suspend all hostilities. ”

Martin said toughly: "I don't care how long you think about it, I only care when you give in, I won't stop any action until you give in, there is another way to get Soni Entertainment, get it from the court after bankruptcy, and you will suffer even greater losses and unbearable pain." ”

Izui almost wanted to punch this damn fat man to death, he was too arrogant, too aggressive, and he was so justified in seeking people's money, and he didn't give anyone a way out.

Howard said: "You don't have the slightest sincerity in negotiating. ”

Martin said: "Obviously, we are not a judge, equality of status and strength is a negotiation, now I am just a ward of you, tell you what we want, as for whether you can accept it, this is your business." ”

Howard said, "How much are you deceiving people?"

Martin said: "Offending the strong, you must pay the price, if you don't let you remember it for a long time, soon you will forget it again, and you will offend our interests again." ”

Izui said: "You have to understand that we Dongying people would rather die than give in!"

Martin said coldly: "I don't know when the headquarters of the Dongyingmi Army was demolished. ”

Idei, blushing, stood up, bowed to Martin, turned to leave, and Howard said to Martin, "It's a pity. ”

When Idei and Howard walked to the door, they saw MJ sitting on the sofa at the door waiting, next to his agent Casio and the lawyer, Idei wanted to chat with MJ and explain the misunderstanding between the two parties, but Martin came out with a smile on his face, opened his hands and said, "Welcome!

Idei didn't want to see Martin, a hated and disgusting guy for a moment, and left directly.

Martin welcomed MJ into the office, and Casio and the lawyer tried to follow him in, but Martin swept his eyes and sat down sadly.

They walked into the office, sat down, and Martin took out a document and placed it in front of MJ, saying, "Sign this delivery order!"

Michael didn't like the other party's aggressive posture, but when he saw that the balance on it was $175 million, he was surprised: "So much?"

Martin said proudly: "This is a reward for trusting me, sign it, and I will transfer the money to your account." ”

Michael has no formal income since the second ** case, but the expenditure is not small, this time the 50 million is borrowed by Lao Benhe, which is the ammunition to finance Martin's attack on Soni, I didn't expect to bring such an amazing return.

This Martin's counterattack will be so powerful, make it so big, it is MJ did not expect, this guy easily set off a monstrous wave, and defeated the behemoth Soni in two days, the majestic Soni was condemned by the people of the whole country, panicked all day, but with the beginning of the national boycott, all the stocks of Souni plummeted, and the market value of the stocks in his hands also plummeted, the difference is that he gritted his teeth and did not sell the stocks in his hands, he and his team believed that as long as he broke up with Soni, the stocks in his hands would rise back, and because he insisted on not selling, Soni Music Company did not fall as badly as other stocks。

Now for Martin, he is convinced, with the 200 million in hand, he can tide over the difficulties, he smiled, and was about to express his gratitude, but when he saw the other party's cold face, there was no joy and enthusiasm just now, MJ asked a little uneasily: "Is there any problem?"

Martin said: "I still have the old saying, when you cooperate with me, you have to believe me, sincerely, unconditionally. ”

MJ saw that this guy's expression was really a little weird, so he had to say, "I trust you." ”

Martin nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! You just have to follow my arrangement, I will say whatever you want, do whatever you want, and we will win the final victory, and the ATV will return to you." ”

MJ said, "Ok! "This Martin is indeed powerful, the problem that has plagued MJ for many years, he easily solves it, the once invincible, extremely powerful Soni Group, was beaten by him to the ground, and he breathed away, he was deeply jealous of Martin, and he really didn't dare to disobey him, for fear of provoking his dissatisfaction and revenge.

Idei and Howard returned to the headquarters building and immediately briefed the shareholders on the negotiation process via video conference, and asked the shareholders to decide the matter.

Although Soni was founded by Akio Morita, after so many years of development, the equity has been continuously diluted, and it has long been not the situation that the Morita family is dominant, plus Dongying's company likes cross-shareholding, and those who are eligible to participate in the meeting are basically the top bosses in the financial industry of Dongying.

These bigwigs, who are as majestic and cold as kings in front of their subordinates, are also like vendors in the vegetable market, arguing endlessly, arguing non-stop, attacking each other, and accusing each other.

Sooni Entertainment is a hen that lays golden eggs, they have no intention of selling it in the first place, let alone selling it as an ordinary old hen?

The output value of rice movies is limited, the box office of rice is less than 10 billion per year, the surrounding derivative products are about 30 billion, and the global market is only about 100 billion.

However, everyone knows today's dangerous situation, the anti-Dongying wave set off in the United States, so that the entire Dongying enterprise is in danger, and the first to bear the brunt of Soni, the once invincible Soni is facing great pressure only everyone here knows, Mi Di's father has an unprecedented influence on them, such a big wave of protest Dongying is the first time after the war, even the government is worried about this, they are putting pressure on Soni, asking for a solution to the crisis as soon as possible, as for how to solve it, it is Soni's business, as long as it does not affect peers.

The excuse of the people of the United States is also the excuse of the Dongying government, and they must be responsible for the troubles they have caused.

The pressure of the Sooni Group is that selling Suni Entertainment at a low price can save other departments, this crisis is like Soni's cancer tumor, if it is not eradicated in time, it will kill the entire group, but the risk and loss of this eradication are too great, to the point of unbearable, so the shareholders do not dare to make a decision lightly for a while.

Idei is in favor of compromise, the poisonous snake eats his wrist, he has to show the determination of a strong man to break his arm, he knows that no matter the shareholders of the face of the inside are unwilling to compromise, but he can't come up with countermeasures, he had to take out Panasonic to buy Universal Pictures, which also had a huge sensational effect, and later sold it because of debt, Panasonic got the funds and made a comeback, the difference is that they got very little money, but they got the opportunity to resolve the crisis.

However, other shareholders accuse the management of being despicable and shameless in doing shady things, which will lead them into a huge crisis and should kill themselves.

Idei had no choice but to let everyone vote, but according to the company's organic law, major decisions must be decided by 60% of shareholders, but only 40% of those who supported the compromise were supported, 20% abstained, and 40% were against.

After several rounds of voting, it is still impossible to reach an agreement, before they meet, the Dongying government and domestic counterparts are asking them to reach an agreement and provide a final solution, otherwise they are not allowed to dismiss the meeting, whether it is a compromise or a death war must have a result, the sooner the crisis is resolved, the better, whether it is peers or the government, do not want to drag on, now the United States is resisting, the stock prices of all Dongying enterprises are falling, everyone is waiting in bloodshed.

In this stalemate, Howard approached Martin again and proposed a new compromise, they would only sell the Sony film and television division, and they would take out the music division, because Sunny Music existed before the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, and in return, they would allow Michael's ATV to go independent, and they wanted to keep the music division.

It took two generations of Soni to fully understand the people of Mi and their operating philosophy for ten years, and finally the people of Mi can accept Soni as a leading entertainment brand of Mi Guo, because with Columbia, Soni was able to successfully acquire MGM last year, and Soni is not only the hometown of semiconductor radio, Trilon, and Walkman, but also the hometown of online entertainment in the digital age such as Spider-Man and PS2.

Instead of selling isolated devices, Soni is now selling a large number of devices, services, and experiences that can be connected to each other, and Nobuyuki Idei proudly says, "We have to move from manufacturing to a knowledge-based global cultural industry, which is similar to reinventing Soni's business model." ”

Now the divestment of the entertainment sector means the overall separation of the audio-visual sector, the hardware equipment manufactured by Souni is not highly dependent on film and video, but the audio equipment they produce is very dependent on Sooni Music, and they hope to retain this part of the business.

Martin said, "Give me a reason. ”

Howard said: "We will use this to persuade the shareholders to agree to your request, if the whole divestment, it is an unbearable loss, it is difficult for the shareholders to agree, if you can keep this part of the business, it will be reluctantly acceptable, I believe you also hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible, so it is not in your private interests to delay." ”
