For the general public, the entertainment industry in 1997 was very unpredictable.

The one who leads the way and provides lace gossip to the public, that is, of course, Michael Jackson.

In ninety-four years, he tied the knot with Elvis's daughter Lisa Presley, and the two parted ways in ninety-six, and after the divorce, he and a dermatology nurse Debbie Rowe quickly got married.

Because many people believe that Michael Jackson is not in love with Elvis Presley's daughter.

He just wanted to prove to the outside world that he wasn't a pedophile.

Of course, if it's just a dispute between love and love, then forget it.

The point is that while the relationship is separated, he became the defendant again because of the ** incident of the year.

In the summer of '96, a book related to Michael Jackson first described the details of the Chandler ** case that year, which made the father of the party to the case, Evan Chandler, think that Michael Jackson provided the material to the author of the book.

Not only that, but he also believed that Michael Jackson's behavior violated the confidentiality clause in the out-of-court settlement agreement signed by the two parties that year, so he hired the lawyer again and sued Michael Jackson in court, demanding that Michael Jackson pay up to 60 million liquidated damages in accordance with the contract!

As soon as this incident came out, the public was dumbfounded.

You know, in the 93 ** case, Michael Jackson paid 22 million to shut up the Chandler father and son, and now, he has to pay 60 million because of the same mistake?

Although this incident happened in '96, the evidence collection, trial, and trial of the case only began in '97, and it is precisely for this reason that when the North Hollywood bank robbery case passed, this big case entered the public's attention again, and it also provided people with a lot of discussion and discussion in the gap between tea and dinner.

As the Internet that connects the world, it shows people their social skills for the first time.

Yahoo, which set up a special section for this news, saw a surge in traffic, and the number of replies in the discussion section was as high as thousands.

And the discussion group related to Michael Jackson in YahooGroup has surged by hundreds overnight.

Such a strong feedback from the people also made capital see the power of the portal, so that Yahoo's stock price skyrocketed like Michael Jackson's shock.

Although it still hasn't reached the madness of Netscape when it went public, Yahoo's major shareholders are still skyrocketing.

Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro are once again in the limelight, and David Olsen is ......

Many people are already calculating how many places he will rise on the Forbes rich list next year.

If it were in the past, Roland might still be a little interested in this kind of thing, but now......

Roland suddenly noticed something interesting.

IN 1985, APPLE RECORDS WENT BANKRUPT, AND IN 1986, MICHAEL JACKSON SPENT 47.5 MILLION TO BUY THE RIGHTS TO ATV SONGS.

Two years later, Sony bought Columbia Records, Tommy Motora became president, and in the nineties, Michael Jackson became Tommy Motora's signed artist.

If that's all there is to it, then forget it.

But in '93, Michael Jackson's ATV copyright library was transferred by Universal Music to EMI Music Distribution Department, and it was not in Sony's hands; At the same time, Michael Jackson also owns all the rights to his songs, which are unified under his MIJAC publishing company, which is managed by Warner Chappell.

Sony, as Michael Jackson's owner, just helped him release the songs.

Sony doesn't get anything but commissions.

This situation is a bit delicate, right?

You must know that Steven Spielberg, who also controls all the copyrights of his own films, is not like this.

Not only that, but the difference between the two styles of action is also very obvious, Michael Jackson did not have a good relationship with his peers in the industry after buying the ATV copyright library, but Steven Spielberg's Ampeling Entertainment operated so many copyrights, the real beneficiaries are actually those creators, in the case of you helping me make a fortune, helping me negotiate with the Big Six, and helping me protect my interests, who will those guys who have been helped defend? This kind of thing can be known if you think about it with the bottom of your feet.

As a result, the ** case suddenly appeared.

If it was all an accident here, then it is understandable that Michael Jackson could not spare a large amount of money for his fifth album after reaching an out-of-court settlement agreement with the Chandler father and son.

When he had no money, he chose to borrow money from his employer, Sony, and Sony hoped that he could merge ATV music copyright with Sony to establish Sony ATV copyright company, which was actually a matter of course.

After all, capitalists do not do good.

The Big Six didn't dare to make a fuss about Roland's share because they didn't want to provoke Roland's backers.

But Michael Jackson ......

Isn't it just alone?

At this point, everything seemed to be taken for granted, but in the summer of '96, a book describing the details of the Michael Jackson** case suddenly came on the market, and before 'everyone' knew it, in November of the same year, Michael Jackson donated 85% of the proceeds from his historical tour in India to a charity in North India, and also donated a portion of the proceeds from nine shows in Australia to TheSmithFamily, a charity that works for the benefit of the poor.

Then, the Chandler father and son, who left with 22 million that year, reappeared.

This time, the claim was 60 million.

Whenever Michael Jackson runs out of money, someone jumps out and forces him to give money.

This kind of thing is actually quite interesting, right?

And when he thought that after Michael Jackson's death, his estate management company would sell the shares left by Michael Jackson to Sony, Roland wanted to laugh a little.

He believes that if it weren't for the fact that Sony didn't dare to provoke himself and Steven Spielberg at all, then they would have been knifed with 50% of the shares of Sony and Amperin and Warcraft Film and Television Global Distribution.

Although there is no evidence that all the coincidences are Sony is in charge, ......

It's not a coincidence, right?

Although people are unlucky and drink cold water and stuff their teeth, no matter how unlucky Michael Jackson is, it is impossible for him to start being knifed every time he runs out of money, right? And when his second ** case broke out, it was the time to renegotiate the ATV copyright matter with Sony, and when the fake will case broke out, it happened to be the time when several other music giants forced Sony to split Sony ATV.

Just like Mel Gibson, they all happened to be crammed together at the unlucky time.

That's interesting.

"It's still the same sentence...... A strong background is the guarantee of success. ”

"Even if you have the ability to resist the eyes of people of the same class, but when the dimensionality reduction blow comes, how can you block it?"

"Connections are the hole card, and the biggest role is not that they can help you develop your career, but to keep the country."

When Roland stared at the computer screen with emotion, after eating the whole melon in YahooGroup, he had no psychological burden on his approach to killing Sony, business is originally your life and death, and behind your good life, it is someone else's bad life.

Without comparison, where does the difference between good and bad come from?

Even Steve Jobs, a Buddhist believer, was never half merciful in business.

If killing you could make my life better, I'd do it.

Bill Gates has done so much charity, and he can't change the fact that his monopolistic competition methods have bankrupted countless companies and made countless people lose their jobs, but what are people talking about?

Microsoft's strength is how many people can provide employment opportunities.

But to put it simply, they provide fewer jobs than the bankrupt companies that lost them.

And this is the benevolence of the capitalists.

Except for the turmoil and suspicion rolled up by Michael Jackson, the other gossip Roland didn't think it was interesting, and the king and queen tore beep? How can it be comfortable to knock off billions with a wave of your hand?

After eating the Sony ATV copyright melon, the time has quietly come to May 15.

Amazon, it's listed.

Like Yahoo before, this time it was David Olsen who rang the bell instead of Roland.

But unlike Yahoo, Amazon's listing has brought David Olsen an even more terrifying influence than Yahoo.

On the day of Yahoo's IPO, the stock price soared from $13 to a maximum of $43, and although the closing price fell back to $33, it had already made it the third-highest growth company in Nasdaq history by then.

Today, Yahoo's market capitalization is as high as $850 million.

Although Amazon's stock is only hovering in more than one piece, and the rise is not large, the company's market value has also jumped from 310 million to 438 million, and the 15% held by David Olsen in the eyes of the public is only 65.7 million, but-

This is the second internet company that David Olsen has bet on right!

It's outrageous!

It is true that Yahoo and Amazon combined are no match for Netscape, whose market value soared to 2.7 billion in more than a minute, but if you invest in two Internet companies, these two companies can be successfully listed and their market value skyrockets, isn't it the same weird?

According to the analysis of Wall Street data analysts (their own people), according to the financial statements provided by Amazon, this year's operating income is expected to reach 1.5 billion, and the market value is expected to exceed more than one billion within half a year......

David Olson's Overwatch Ventures has been peeled off by curious investors.

Don't you talk nonsense!

Just as Warren Buffett is good wherever he goes, people also want to know which companies David Olson, who has continuously created miracles, has invested in!

Although Shouwang Venture Capital is a venture capital, this does not mean that they can't wait for a period of time to start from the open secondary market when the company goes public!

If you can't drink the soup, you can follow the wind!

It's a pity that after they take a look, they have to ......

It's scattered, don't look at it, wait for it to cool off......

Who doesn't know that Apple is a shame for a technology company?

And after Jobs's madman returned to Apple, how many investment companies wanted to sell Apple too late, but Overwatch Venture Capital made itself the largest shareholder of Apple? Are you taking over? Or take over? Or take over?

In the monopoly case between Apple and Microsoft, Microsoft was unscathed.

The entire PC operating system market has been monopolized by Microsoft, and Apple still wants to turn over, isn't it a dream?

And now, just by virtue of the success of Yahoo and Amazon, you want to change your life in Apple's business?

Aren't you afraid of direct diarrhea?

As a result, David Olsen, who was praised for Amazon's IPO but belittled for owning Apple, became the busiest person in the whole family, either being interviewed by this family or being questioned by that family.

In the end, he directly dialed Roland's phone and said helplessly: "Can you tell me, which media have anything to do with you?" I did interviews with CBS and NBC in New York, went to CNN in Atlanta, and came back to Los Angeles, and ABC and FOX wanted to pull me into a column......"

"I'm just a real estate developer...... I don't know what you think about your investment......"

At this moment, David felt for the first time the pity, childishness and helplessness of his son James.

Roland is really too good at making a fortune!

The point is!

He only enjoys the pleasure of Zaoteng, and the rest of the mess is a mess, but let someone else wipe his ass!

However, just when David was about to say something, the voice on the other end of the phone made his face stiffen.

"David, Roland, he's taking a shower."

"He's going to the premiere of Jurassic Park 2 in the evening."

"He was there watching FOX's live stream before he took a shower, and when he saw you, he knew you were going to call, and then he asked me to tell you a word......"

"Ahem, ahem...... What words? David was a little embarrassed, because he felt that this kind of complaint, that is, his private communication with Roland, did not need to let Kate know that the province was destroying his fatherly image in front of Kate.

It's a pity that he didn't last a few seconds before he was angry with Kate's words.

Roland said ......"

"In the last few years, you really care about him like a father, and he is very touched......"

"He can't think of any good way to repay him, so he can only help you take care of the child......"

"But it's a pity that he is about to go to work in the UK, so I can only tell you regretfully......"

"It's one o'clock in the afternoon when you finished the show, and now go back and pick up Liqi, just in time for her to get out of school......"

Whatthefuck？

I talk to you about work, you talk to me about life?

I just put the finishing touches on all the you provoked, and you told me that it's time to go home and nurse the baby when you're done?

I really beeped the dog!

Just when David wanted to extend his most sincere greetings to Roland, who was suddenly out of order, another voice suddenly came from the earpiece, "Thank you, David, take a good rest on the way back, Liqi is waiting for you at school." ”

"Garneti said that Ashley and Mary were going to take makeup photos today, and it was estimated that they would be late, so they ......"

"Good luck, Bye......"

When Roland hung up the phone, David reacted -

"Shhh...... This guy didn't go to the shower? ”

Of course, Roland didn't go to the shower, or rather, he only stuffed the phone handed by Kate back into the other party's hand after hearing David's complaints, and what Kate said was written by him on the spot.

"How can you be so bad?" After seeing Roland hang up cleanly, Kate elbowed him.

"Why am I broken? David grimaced, I just wanted to make him happy. ”

Roland tried to dodge, but he didn't.

"What? Do you think it's fun to go home with your kids just after work? ”

Although Kate's tone was a little excited, Roland still smiled and said, "Of course, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

And he didn't say a word, 'David, won't mind.'" ’

David wouldn't mind?

No!

If Roland was in front of him now, he would definitely hammer Roland's dog head!

But after hearing the busy sound, a helpless smile finally appeared on Ben's stunned face.

"I think about leisure all the time, you and your dad are really different."

After disconnecting the phone, he put down the baffle in the car and said to the driver, "Go to Liqi's school." ”

"She hasn't seen me in days, she should miss me, right?"

Yes, the reason why David called Roland was to complain about helping Roland with so many chores that he couldn't go home, as for the media's inquiries and the outside world's opinions?

What does this have to do with him?

He didn't care about the love and hate of investors at all, because he knew what Apple's shares brought to Roland!

In addition to the three full sets of toys from Toy Story, the gambling-style investment at the party that day was also an eye-opener for him.

Spent 200 million to invest in Apple?

So what?

If 200 million can buy the entrance channel of the quantum fund, the money will be worth it.

That's right, when Roland asked David to take his Berkshire Hathaway stock as a pledge loan, David, who learned the news, also secretly raised 200 million, ready to mix it up and do a lot of money.

Of course, he didn't believe in Roland's vision, but in the way Paul Allen and others provided him to earn money.

Believe in George Soros's terrifying record.

And in the face of this kind of operation, what if the investee laughs at the behavior of investing in Apple as brain-dead?

Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it!

And after hanging up the phone, Roland did go to the premiere of "Jurassic Park 2".

The investment of two and one is similar, but due to the loss of Roland, the public reaction to the film is not strong.

72 million in the first weekend, there is no possibility of hitting the record of "Spider-Man" at all, and the feedback from the media and the public is also mixed, some guys think that the special effects are realistic again, but some people also think that the special effects ruin the story.

After all, it's not common for a sequel to crush its predecessor.

However, Spielberg clearly didn't care about the film's box office.

Or, compared with the "Jurassic" series that has been confirmed to stay in Universal, what he cares about most now is, of course, "Saving Private Ryan" with his favorite apprentice Roland Allen.
