Chapter 171: Trouble from the Country!
Last year, the economic crisis broke out, all listed companies were hit by 10,000 points, the market value of the stock fell sharply, in order to protect their own interests, many listed companies began to peddle company shares, which also made many people fancy this golden opportunity. Among them, Sony made the fastest move, acquiring Colombia with lightning speed, creating another old Hollywood company to be acquired by foreign companies.
09 Menghang's acquisition of Marvel Comics is known as the most exciting news about the acquisition of local companies in magnesium country by foreign companies this year, but the reporter was wrong, this acquisition war first provoked by Menghang in 09 has only just begun.
In the two months when Menghang and Sony were secretly competing, the local listed companies of Magnesium Country can be said to be on the edge of the knife at all times.
However, local companies are being negotiated and acquired by foreign companies one after another, which is by no means what Magnesium Country wants to see, especially Hollywood film companies are favored by those people.
After all, Hollywood's position today is not a place name just outside Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the country, but the top of the entire North American film industry. If all the old Hollywood companies are bought by foreign companies, MG will no longer be able to maintain the transcendent leading position in the film industry in the world.
As long as these companies are not acquired by foreign companies, it will be the biggest victory of magnesium country in this economic crisis.
At present, the only veteran Hollywood film and television company that still maintains an independent position is Disney.
Disney's main businesses include entertainment production, theme parks, toys, books, video games and media networks. Even if they don't dare to shoot movies before they are sure of the market situation, they at least keep the premise that even if they don't make money, they don't lose money.
Warner Bros. was acquired by Time Inc., which was subsequently renamed Time Warner, and Warner Bros. became a subsidiary of Time Warner.
Then Twentieth Century Fox was acquired by News Corp. for a 50 percent stake, turning the bankrupt 20th Century Fox into a film subsidiary of News Corp., another owner who could have the same say as Fox President Pitt. News Corp. registered a subsidiary in Hong Kong in the early years, "Star Media Group", so it is very active in acquiring, especially local established film and television companies.
Universal was acquired by Comcast, the largest cable operator in the magnesium country, and became one of Comcast's subsidiaries.
Immediately after that, news came out that Viacom Group, the third largest media company in the magnesium country, is negotiating with Paramount's parent company and plans to buy 49% of Paramount's equity. Although 49% of the shares were acquired, Paramount still has at least 51% of the shares, and it has the absolute right to speak in the company, so it can be regarded as maintaining the independence of the company.
Of the eight old Hollywood film and television companies, MGM was the first to fall, and then Wright, which made the eight Hollywood film and television companies instantly become the six major companies. But in 08 and 09, four and a half were removed in an instant, although these four and a half were acquired by local companies, one was seized by foreign company Sony, and one at least barely maintained its independence under the strong attack of local companies, but only Disney and Paramount were left who could really be called among the old Hollywood brands.
In just two months, the acquisition of the magnesium industry alone has exceeded the turnover of tens of billions of US dollars, which can be described as a storm sweeping away the leaves, and the wind and rain are crazy and urgent.
But none of this is about Menghang, because not long ago, according to Shaogong's reliable information, Sony's internal high-level consortium gave Howard a stern warning, asking him to remedy the quality of the product in the shortest possible time and minimize the company's losses at all costs. Because the turmoil caused by the quality of Sony's products has affected almost all Japanese companies in China, and those business alliances have put pressure on Sony, claiming that if they do not make timely remedies, it is likely to trigger a large-scale boycott of Japanese products in China, which is no longer a corporate problem, and if it causes Huaxia's comprehensive address to Japanese goods, it will be their entire country that suffers.
At this time, Huaxia's People's Daily Online found that Sony occupied the second place in the country with 23% of the brand ownership through the analysis of the survey results of 3,000 consumers online and offline. But at the same time, the proportion of complaints against Sony is also directly proportional to the number of brand ownership. In this survey by People's Daily Online, the focus of consumer complaints is on after-sales service. For Sony digital cameras, there are many problems that are reflected: the door-to-door maintenance is not timely, the maintenance level is not high, and the maintenance point cannot be contacted.
Eventually, Howard gritted his teeth and announced that his high-end full-frame card camera, the RX1RII, had a light leakage problem, and Sony would provide free inspection and repair services for the camera around the world. At the same time, Sony announced to Huaxia that the VGN-CS1 series launched in October 2008, the CS2 series launched in February 2009, In May 2009, some VAIO notebooks in the CS3 series may appear a horizontal line on the LCD panel screen after a period of use, and the company decided to extend the warranty period by 1 year on the basis of the original two-year warranty period, that is, the free repair service for 3 years from the time the user purchases the product, and the user who has purchased the 3-year extended warranty service is not within the scope of the policy.
Although he promised the warranty, this guy was a dead duck with a hard mouth, and his request for a refund was not answered. In order to prevent Menghang from further expanding the situation, Howard dialed Shaogong's phone and said bluntly: "President Ouyang, I think we need to meet." ”
"OK, come to the Ten Mile Peach Forest in Shanghai, I will be waiting there. ”
To Howard's surprise, Shao Gong actually chose to return to China at this good time, and after he released the filming plan of "Iron Man" in the Menghang branch of the magnesium country, he asked Liu Jing to replace himself in the branch to preside over the overall situation in the case of Kevin and Li Yong, and he took the lead in running back to China.
Because he had a reason to return to China - because Ximen Yan called him personally, saying that Liu Yifei was pregnant, and when she realized that she was checked out, she was already more than two months pregnant. Moreover, Ximen Yan also vaguely revealed on the phone that some of the situation in China is not optimistic, and he should be careful after returning to China, as there seems to be some otherworldly existence, investigating Menghang.
So Shaogong had to go back to China to deal with things, and Liu Yifei didn't go directly to Shanghai after returning from the magnesium country, if her stinky daughter-in-law didn't have Shaogong's leadership, she really wouldn't have the courage to meet her in-laws. Chen Jinfei arranged a separate villa for them, although this Chen wolf and dog thief are not dead, but in the case of Liu Xiaoli inside and Ximen Yan outside, these two women protected Liu Yifei throughout the whole process.
In Chen Jinfei's eyes, a woman who has not been obtained by herself and married is no longer a peach. Although Liu Yifei was picked, it is a waste of financial resources for Red Star to praise her again, but Liu Yifei's contract has not expired, and the company has the right to arrange a plan for her, but although she can get part of the remuneration for arranging the shooting plan, it will undoubtedly improve the fame of this rotten peach. But if she wants to be idle like this, it is not what Chen Jinfei wants.
Although it is a rotten peach, the waste still has value.
Therefore, Chen Jinfei's plan for Liu Yifei is to socialize, go out for business entertainment, that is, participate in dinners and drink for himself to compensate the merchants, after all, Liu Yifei is a well-known fairy sister in the Chinese entertainment industry, and she is the daughter-in-law of Ouyang Shaogong, the president of Menghang, and her identity and fame are countless times higher than before, after all, this is a genuine tens of billions of dollars, if you don't pay tens of millions for a meal, but you can't invite a heavyweight dinner guest who you want to invite.
However, accompanied by Ximen Yan, those guys who wanted to use the strength of wine to order meat jokes during the dinner were all blocked back by Ximen Yan with their hands, and those people saw that such a beautiful woman who was a little more beautiful than Liu Yifei actually dared to block their face, and couldn't help but stand over and rub the oil with the strength of the wine, but two of them were directly beaten into the serious ward by Ximen Yan, and those people stopped.
After that, the injured boss complained to Chen Jinfei, Chen Jinfei immediately came to ask why Ximen Yan wanted to beat people at the dinner, but his attitude was still personable, although the peach was rotten, but with his professional vision of seeing people for many years, Ximen Yan's peach was still an unpicked peach, and it looked even more beautiful than Liu Yifei, so it was the best alternative.
But when he asked people if they wanted to sign under the Red Star to develop in the entertainment industry, Ximen Yan refused, and said that he couldn't even look down on the personal invitation of the president of Menghang, and how could he look down on you as a Red Star who didn't even have one percent of Menghang's strength, which really blinded you with a pair of dog eyes.
This sentence almost didn't choke Chen Wolf Dog to death.
Indeed, even the woman who can't even be invited by Ouyang Shaogong, the president of Menghang, can't look down on the glitz of the entertainment industry at all, because people don't plan to mix in the entertainment industry at all, no matter how nice you say, people just aren't interested. So even though Chen Jinfei looked at Ximen Yan differently and was personable every time he spoke, he was sneering at him every time, putting on a zombie face, and he didn't even look at him from the corner of his eye.
Facing Chen Jinfei's questioning, Ximen Yan said coldly: "The boss explained that anyone who wants to be unreasonable to his wife will be sent back, and he will be responsible for what happened." If you have any questions, you can go to the magnesium country to ask the boss, and she doesn't make any attitude here. Chen Jinfei was dumbfounded now, during the days when he and his bodyguards were in Austin, but Li Yong led someone to block the small hotel with an AK against his head day and night alternately, will he still have the life to come back?
Ouyang Shaogong's own force is so strong that he is respected as the number one in the galaxy, and he still has a lot of power, so Chen Jinfei absolutely believes that he can do something to kill himself and others, and he will definitely not implicate himself and Menghang, as long as he creates an accident, he will be killed.
After this lesson, those people at the dinner in the future will also learn to be obedient, and they will no longer target Liu Yifei, after all, this is Ouyang Shaogong's woman, if the rich and powerful retaliate, they will not be able to take it. But can't you stretch out your claws to Liu Yifei, can't you ask for a bargain with this Ximen Yan, who is more beautiful than Liu Yifei?
Although they can't beat people enough, who said that if you take advantage of it, you must come up and do it, as long as you get her drunk, aren't you still at your own mercy?
But these people thought wrongly, because Ximen Yan directly blew a bottom hanging in front of them, and the person was still fine, which shocked those CEOs, and Ximen Yan also said that if anyone drinks with her, at least one bottle will be blown, and those people say that they often participate in socializing and can blow a bottle of fierce wine, they still don't have the guts.
So with Ximen Yan's escort, Liu Yifei only drank drinks and ate food during the dinner, did not speak or laugh, and was a beautiful woman quietly. But only she knew that every time Ximen Yan went back after drinking wine for herself, she would go to the toilet alone to spit out the wine. Liu Yifei felt that this was the trouble she had brought to Sister Ximen, so she felt extremely guilty.
If Shao Gong didn't tell her, she probably wouldn't know that Ximen Yan was a zombie for the rest of her life, and the only thing she could drink and eat was blood, and anything else would be spit out by her.
When the domestic Menghang executives heard the news, it is said that they were all speechless, and it was not worth marrying such a woman for Shaogong, and Meng Xiangting scolded the bitch and went to find the little sister, and then the little sister went to the Shili Peach Forest, and then Shaogong's parents called Meng Xiangting, asking her to go to Beijing on behalf of her old couple to escort the daughter-in-law who had not seen her in-laws back to the Shili Taolin in Shanghai, and they wanted to personally question her why she went out to accompany the wine, why she went out to eat with others, you must know that she is now a married woman, it doesn't matter if she corrupts herself, even their son's reputation will be ruined, that is, she does not abide by the woman's way, if it is before liberation, but it will be immersed in the pig cage。
If Liu Yifei doesn't give the old couple a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid they will be able to let Shaogong directly divorce this corrupt woman.
So Meng Xiangting, accompanied by Chen Yingzi, came to the capital to ask Liu Yifei for questioning. But they didn't see Liu Yifei, because this time it was on their own territory, and Liu Yifei was an artist under their own company, without their own arrangement, no one could see each other if they wanted to, so this time Chen Jinfei was very confident, if Ouyang Shaogong came to him, he really couldn't stop it, after all, no matter how bound you are, you can't help but let your husband see his wife. But you Menghang, two high-level executives came to meet their own company's artists and put themselves in the eyes of real estate predators!
Therefore, Meng Xiangting's Wu Zetian-style domineering not only did not work, but also made Chen Jinfei directly instigate him back, claiming that he wanted to see Liu Yifei Unless Ouyang Shaogong came in person, none of them were qualified to see their artists. And although Chen Yingzi has a good force, but her current identity is the legal counsel of Menghang's headquarters, if you really want to be more serious, Chen Jinfei is on the absolutely advantageous and reasonable side, and they will not be able to see Liu Yifei if they continue to make trouble, and if they really want to make a big fuss, it will lose the face of Menghang's senior management, and even more the face of Menghang.
Therefore, these two women also spent time with Chen Jinfei in the capital, because they did not take Liu Yifei back to the ten-mile peach forest in Shanghai under the instructions of Shaogong's parents, which means that they have not completed the entrustment and cannot go back.
