Chapter 750: Game 750 The major leagues compromise
Listening to Todd Hardy's instructions, Canon, who has the body of a rugby player, could only hold back his anger and move two chairs in the living room, which made Cork stare at him dissatisfied.
"Don't be upset about Canon" Hardy looked at the angry Canon and smiled: "Do you know the way, but you don't know the way Since Director Li came to our big league, what is the year-on-year increase in the profit of the big league?" ”
"I don't know...... Data has never been my responsibility. Cannon immediately looked a little embarrassed.
"The year-on-year growth has increased by 24.1 percent" Lei Dongshi, the president of Paramount, next to him, said, which made both Cork and Canon slightly surprised, and Cork couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "There are so many ......?" ”
"yes, if I hadn't seen these last year's data myself, I wouldn't have thought of it." Todd Hardy sighed, turned his head to look at Canon and said, "Now you should know that you are not wronged to move a stool for Director Li." ”
Canon bowed his head and was speechless, Todd Hardy turned to look at Tom Cruise and smiled, "Tom, do you remember, when was the last time you were here?" ”
Tom Cruise immediately became nervous, thought for a moment before whispering, "It seems to be 1987...... Oh my God, it's been 20 years. Tom Cruise couldn't help but smack his tongue a little as he spoke.
"No, it should have been 21 years, it was November 86." Todd Hardy said with a smile, turning his head to look at Lei Dongshi and said:
"Lei Dongshi, do you remember, back then, when you were just a West Coast regional manager, you brought Tom over and swore to me that this young man was going to be Paramount's top star, and you begged me all day to get me to contact theaters and other companies so that his movie would not be subject to too much incentive competition when it came out...... Your vision is really good, and Tom is indeed quite good, and he has lived up to your cultivation ......."
Hearing this, Tom Cruise and Lei Dongshi, the two rivals who had fallen out, couldn't help but glance at each other at this time, and they both recalled the honeymoon period when the two worked together before...... I feel a little bit in my heart.
Yes, over the years, the development of the major leagues has relied on their joint efforts to get to where they are today, and it is not a single credit......
Although Todd Hardy only said a few words, Li Xiaole already felt that the atmosphere was wrong, this old man unconsciously brought the relationship between the two sides a lot closer, and the strong hostility between the two sides before seemed to be almost impossible to feel now.
At this time, Tom Cruise couldn't help but turn around and pull Li Xiaole to sit down, he is a person who values feelings, thinking that the big leagues have been fighting for the development of Hollywood and his personal support over the years, he doesn't want to fight anymore, he can't gamble for himself and drag down the entire Hollywood......
Seeing the two of them sit down, Todd Hardy's eyes turned to Cork and Canon again, and his tone became serious again:
"In the final analysis, all industries are to make money for investors, which is understandable, let's just say you, in the several turmoil at MGM, if it weren't for Kork's financial resources, this century-old company would have collapsed a long time ago, but you want to make money but use the wrong method, you shouldn't use the way of hollowing out and trapping the interests of new investors, so that MGM's mess is as ...... it is now."
Speaking of this, Todd Hardy turned to Li Xiaole with a vague look and sighed:
"You have to thank Director Li, if it weren't for his acquisition of Luen Mei, which is now Luen Mei Black Pearl, MGM would have been in decline, and now at least on paper, MGM is already the fourth largest company in the big league." Speaking of which, Todd Hardy sighed to his old friend Cork and said:
"Cork, it's time for you to let go, it's time to hand over MGM to the young man, I've already negotiated with the Japanese on Sony's side, you should hand over the equity and debt."
Hearing this, Cork and Canon changed color on the spot, but they didn't expect the chairman of the major league to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, the expression on Coke's face was distorted, and he snorted angrily:
"MGM's debts and equity are my private property, not anyone else's business, and no one else has the authority to direct me to make any changes in equity."
Although MGM has become an empty shelf because of the growth of Black Pearl Lianmei, MGM, as the parent company, also has 5/5 of Black Pearl's annual equity dividends, as well as the right of first refusal of Black Pearl Company, once Black Pearl falls into any economic crisis in the future, then Cork can also take priority to buy Black Pearl, which is the hidden worry of Black Pearl Company, and Todd Hardy's words made Old Fox Cork give up all his backhand, how could he agree!?
Even Tom Cruise froze in place, not expecting Todd Hardy to say that......
Todd Hardy's face was still very flat, and he turned around and rummaged through the pile of papers on the table, then pulled out a few papers from them and handed them to Cork: "See for yourself." ”
"What to see~!" Cork's face was full of anger, and his silver hair seemed to stand up, he didn't expect his old friend to be so ruthless, but when he looked at those documents, his face immediately changed.
"Well, I didn't want to show you these things." Todd Hardy sighed and said, "This is some evidence that you have deliberately used MGM to trap the capital of other countries several times in the past 30 years, and then forced this company to go bankrupt and profit by reselling debts...... I know that with your ability, even if these things are handed over to the court, it will not affect you, but I think it is time to make this matter public......"
When Cork heard this, he was immediately stunned, no one knew better than him about Todd Hardy's ability, he controlled the media resources of the whole United States, with these things, although he may not be able to break himself legally, but if he wants to destroy his reputation in the business world, it is too simple...... If nothing else, the scandal was unleashed through his influence, and even the stock price fluctuations of his hotel and casino alone would be devastating to his business......
Thinking of this, Cork shook his whole body in place a few times, and instantly nodded painfully as if he was a few years older: "Okay...... Just do as you say......"
When Canon next to him heard this, his eyes turned red, and he shouted in a voice that was almost hysterical: "Cork~!" For what is it~! We can't do that! I've been fortunate to have suffered for ten years~! That's all that's left! ”
"Shut up! You idiot!! Cork roared like an angry lion, as if the whole room was shaken slightly by his roar, and Canon was stunned by the roar, and he suddenly realized that he and his father-in-law had been kicked out of the Hollywood League for ......
There was silence in the room, and everyone was shocked by Todd Hardy's resolute thunderbolt method, and even Lei Dongshi, who held the control of Paramount and Viaham Group, broke out in a cold sweat in his heart, clearly feeling that Todd Hardy's invisible hand was behind the fate of all of them...... Kick anyone out of them anytime, anywhere.
"Tom, do you know how much output value has been lost in Hollywood due to the strike of the three major trade unions?" Todd Hardy looked at Tom Cruise and sighed, but his eyes were looking at Li Xiaole.
"I don't know......," Tom Cruise replied, already frightened by the scene just now, and stammered a little.
"2.78 billion, the strike has lost 2.78 billion US dollars so far......" Todd Hardy looked at Li Xiaole with great emotion and shook his head: "This is equivalent to the profits created by the three "Life of Pi Fantasy Drifting"...... It's also double the number of growth that your Black Pearl Company brings to the entire alliance. ”
Tom Cruise immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know what to say, so Todd Hardy took out another copy from the messy documents on the table and handed it to Tom Cruise, and said in a deep voice:
"It's time for us to put an end to this disaster, you see, this is the new contract between the Grand Alliance and the three major unions, and there is also a plan for your Black Pearl Company to cooperate with the Grand Alliance in the future, I hope this will calm both of us down."
Tom Cruise took the documents and immediately handed them to Li Xiaole, the two looked through the documents together, after reading them, the more they looked at them, the more surprised they became, the conditions given by the big leagues this time were very generous, not only increased the new media share of the three major unions from 2% to 4.5%, but also was willing to immediately suspend the lawsuit with the Black Pearl Company Avengers, and what is even more surprising is that the contract also promised that the Black Pearl Company can openly use all the Marvel heroes in the Avengers, even including Warner's exclusive " X-Men and Fantastic Four series~!
At the same time, the major leagues also guarantee that in the future, as long as the movie of Black Pearl is released, the six major theaters will make the greatest support for the release, which is great news for Black Pearl~!!
If there is no support from the six major theaters, there will always be a bottleneck in the development of the Black Pearl Company, which restricts the suppression of the theater chain, so Black Pearl may compete with a giant like Warner in the future~!
The more Tom Cruise looked at it, the more excited he became, he turned his head and looked at Li Xiaole expectantly, nodded fiercely, and signaled that this condition must be agreed! This contract is simply too good for them!
Just when Cork and Canon looked at Li Xiaole indignantly, and everyone thought that he would nod and agree, Li Xiaole unexpectedly handed the contract back to Todd Hardy's hand, and shook his head very calmly:
"No, this contract is nowhere near what we expected, and I think the big leagues need to cede more."
As soon as he said this, not only Corke, Canon, and Lei Dongshi were stupid, but even Tom Cruise was dumbfounded, what do you mean? He is still not satisfied with such good conditions!? What more could he want!?
Seeing Todd Hardy's face turn cold, Cork and Canon glanced at each other in unison, and they were desperate to rekindle their hope~~ This Chinese kid looks like he is going to stir up this good situation~! Here comes their chance again......
