Chapter 708: The Death of Industrial Light and Magic (4)

Those who are heroic, those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die. With my heart and let go of the four seas, with my will and the whole person, unstoppable.

After Sun Ziming made up his mind, he said it in Cantonese to Jiang Peng, who was pleading, but turned his face to James? Cameron and George, on the other hand, laughed: "Lucas is a Puritan, and in any case, this time it was because of his mistake that could ruin the lives of hundreds of young people." This psychological pressure is enough for him to make mistakes! Gentlemen, this is our best chance to swallow up Light and Fick! Whether reconciliation is reconciliation or not is just a matter of our words, and there is no need to discuss it now. ”

A few people smiled knowingly, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and in the Western world, too, there can be no mercy in the shopping mall. If Light and Shadow can be swallowed up, Light and Shadow can monopolize the Hollywood special effects market, which will mean another gold mine! As for the fate of those hundreds of young people, that's not a matter of the boss's words?

……

Douglas entered the ward, and Lucas, who was on the hospital bed, had disgust in his eyes and face, but still smiled and sent flowers and cordial and friendly condolences, and his demeanor and etiquette were impeccable.

"No, thank you boss for the flowers, I'm pollen allergic", Lucas waved his hand again and again, as if he thought Douglas was dirty, and he didn't even want to shake hands at the slightest. The assistant also hurriedly took away the flowers, opened the door of the ward and threw them in the garbage at the door.

Douglas didn't care, if he didn't have any face, he would be in Hollywood, not to mention that the other party did have the qualifications to disdain himself.

Lucas didn't want to listen to Douglas's nonsense, so naturally he had an assistant to do it for him, "Mr. Douglas, thank you for coming to visit Mr. Lucas on behalf of China." Excuse me, has he already made a decision on the settlement request of those hundreds of employees? ”

Douglas smiled, his boss was really right, although Lucas, this old thing, is an excellent businessman, but he is still a faithful believer in God, and he can't bear so much psychological pressure.

"No, my boss is waiting."

The assistant looked at Lucas's face and continued, "Doesn't he have the slightest pity? ”

With an elegant smile still on his face, Douglas denied, "Dear Mr. Lucas, you may have misunderstood. The cultural traditions of our Westerners are different from those of the Easterners, just as we believe that life is beautiful, and it is God's will to surrender on the battlefield of doom, because God teaches us to cherish life; But in the cultural traditions of the East, surrender is a shame in any case! You lived through World War II, and how many Japanese soldiers committed suicide after their defeat because they believed that life was as brilliant as cherry blossoms. ”

Lucas finally stopped being an assistant and said angrily: "This is the China Ming who is keen on charity?" Didn't he think it was a great shame to ruin hundreds of young people? ”

"No, the responsibility for this is entirely yours! We do not believe that you, the people sent by Mr. Lucas, would not know about the existence of that agreement. As far as we know, Mr. Scott, who was in charge of the preparation of the Chinese company, was a top student at Wharton. It is impossible for him not to know that it is impossible to be without liability for breach of contract when it comes to hundreds of millions of dollars of investment! There is only one explanation, that he accepted your orders. ”

"You", the angry Lucas just wanted to get angry, and sighed again.

Lucas did not know about this in advance, but the responsibility is still his. Afterwards, Scott informed himself that China is an authoritarian society and that economic merit is the only criterion for official promotion. Beiping is their capital, and the secretary of Beiping is an official with great power, much higher than the officials in Hangzhou, and even if there is a legal risk in the future, someone will try to deal with it, and the head office only needs to pretend not to know.

Businessmen are after profits, and Lucas is no exception. When the temptation of profit is greater than the respect for the law, not to mention the business behavior that does not bear legal responsibility, it is self-evident how businessmen choose.

However, none of them expected that Sun Ziming had the ability to shut up those officials who only had political achievements in their eyes, and he was ruthless enough to send hundreds of people to court with a complaint!

Seeing Lucas's decadent appearance, Douglas continued: "Mr. Lucas, you can't blame me for this. He asked me to convey to you that he is ready to remove the lawyer who is recuperating in Peiping, and that if you have a good candidate, he can respect your opinion. ”

Lucas stared at Douglas for a few minutes, then suddenly roared, "Get out! ”

"Ok, then I'll go first, take care of yourself!"

Douglas smiled politely goodbye and turned to leave the room.

When the pesky dog left, Lucas, who had always been confident, suddenly said: "Jones, will China really send them to court?" ”

The assistant shook his head lightly and whispered: "Boss, although that guy is a bastard, he donates so much money to education every year and is preparing to build a large private university, probably not." ”

"He's pushing me?"

"I guess," the assistant replied.

After answering, the assistant thought about it again and whispered, "Boss, why don't I send someone to keep an eye on him?" I always felt that since his wife was killed, his whole person seemed to have changed, and his hair was half white. Also, on the Oscars, he can do such an outrageous thing, if he goes crazy again this time, things will be irreparable. ”

"Well, you send someone to keep an eye on them. Hey, that's hundreds of young people, I really don't understand their Oriental thinking! God has said that young people can be forgiven if they make mistakes if they are willing to repent! ”

The assistant hurriedly called the nurse to take care of his boss and turned around to make arrangements.

But what she didn't expect was that she had just come out of the ward, and Jerry, the boss of the Bulls? Reinsdorf came with flowers, "Hi, beautiful Miss Jones, is Mr. Lucas better?" ”

Although this person has a little friendship with his boss, but he is the sworn friend of China Ming's bastard, the two only wear a pair of pants, Jones doesn't want him to disturb his boss, and quickly told a small lie, "Thank you for your concern, he just fell asleep." ”

Jerry, who is so fat that her belly looks like that of a pregnant woman? Reinsdorf didn't force it, handed a bouquet of bright red carnations to the slim Jones, and said with a smile: "Ok, help me convey my greetings to him, I'm preparing to go to China." I heard that he was sick, so I came to see him. ”

The two words of China are very sensitive, and immediately made Jones ask: "Mr. Jerry, for the sake of light and shadow?" ”

Jerry? Reinsdorf shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "I don't want to, but I'm a lawyer, I'm the bastard's legal adviser, and I take his 400,000 consulting fees every year." Now that Min is sick, I'm the only one to help him fight that lawsuit! ”

After saying that, Jerry looked at his watch and said apologetically, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I have to go first." ”

"Have a nice trip"

"Thank you, goodbye", Jerry just finished saying goodbye, as if remembering something, turned back and whispered in Jones's ear: "Jones, Lucas and I are also friends, I don't want to be enemies with him." But I am a very dedicated professional lawyer and will do everything in my power to advocate for the interests of my clients, which is my way of making a living. I mean, do you understand? ”

Jones suddenly felt a chill, feeling that the outside of the high-end hospital room was eerie, and that the fat pork-like man looked like a venomous rattlesnake.

After a long silence, Jones squeezed out a sentence, "I'll tell you, it's time for you to go to the airport." ”

Jerry? Reinsdorf shrugged his shoulders again, turned and walked away. When the unsympathetic bastard lawyer disappeared into the elevator, Jones hurried back to the ward.

As soon as Lucas heard Jones's report, his cold hair stood up, and his eyes only flashed with gold stars. He now knew why the media hadn't broken out more, and it must have been the bastard who had seized the employees. Once you don't commit it, all the inside stories will be made public, and although you will not bear legal responsibility, you will become a black-hearted businessman written by reporters, and you will be the executioner who ruined hundreds of young people!

Shattered, Lucas only felt that the ceiling began to spin, and Jones couldn't hear what he was saying clearly, and his eyes were dark and unconscious.

……

Lucas is in a coma again? And after meeting Douglas, he passed out again?

The explosive gossip news has made everyone in Hollywood look strange in the direction of San Francisco, and this time Industrial Light and Magic, which created the myth of movie special effects, may be going bankrupt. Everyone knows that Light & Magic has taken over a lot of businesses that are destined to lose money, and if it can't be completed, those huge liquidated damages alone will bankrupt this 20-year-old giant! What's even more tricky is that ILM is not a limited liability company, but a sole proprietorship of Lucas, and its bankruptcy means his own bankruptcy!

Now only China Ming can save the light demon, and he and Lucas are recognized opponents. I heard that the original intention of China Ming to establish a light and shadow special effects company was because Lucas refused him to invest in light magic, and the chairman of light and shadow special effects, James? Cameron is also Lucas's rival, and the two have quarreled countless times over "The Terminator".

A few days later, Lucas finally woke up again, and his best friend Steve, who came to visit every day, Steve Lee, finally came back to visit every day. Spielberg was relieved when he received Jones' call and hurriedly went to the hospital to visit.

Looking at Lucas on the hospital bed, Spielberg was saddened. Lucas on the hospital bed looked at him with mixed feelings, and Steven reminded himself many times that the bastard was definitely not a good stubble, and he was still too careless, and finally became the prey of other people's traps!

After being silent for a while, Spielberg said with difficulty: "Lucas, I went to Ming, he temporarily suppressed the trial of the case, but it will not be for long." ”

Lucas smiled miserably, "If I don't agree with him to buy Light and Magic, the case will immediately go to trial, and the inside information will be all over the place, and I will be the executioner, right?" ”

Seeing his friend like this, Spielberg couldn't bear to turn his head, looked at Jones with a tired face, and said softly, "He doesn't want to buy Light and Magic, but your entire company." ”

Lucas closed his eyes in pain, and Spielberg let out a long sigh, tucked the quilt for him, and took his leave. Out of the ward, Spielberg motioned for Jones to follow him, and the two avoided the nurse and the company's key employees outside the door, came to the corner of the corridor, and whispered: "There are some things that maybe I shouldn't say, but there are my friends on both sides, and I really don't want Lucas to go bankrupt." China Ming may be a cold-blooded businessman, but he is definitely a good friend, let Lucas think about it. ”

Jones nodded silently, he could control the inside information for so long, people have already shown their sincerity, and if the stalemate continues, the whole company will fall apart.
