And the next conversation with Lin Mu gave Shirley Lansing a more comprehensive feeling about her deputy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Mu's ideas about the management of film companies are bold and mature, and in some respects even coincide with Shirley Lansing's own plans. And some novel ideas made Shirley Lansing's eyes shine, and she suddenly had a sense of brightness about the future. She no longer dared to underestimate the young man in front of her, and she even had a faint thought in her heart that Sumner Lei Shidong invited herself to Paramount, in fact, to let her learn more from the young man next to her and get along with him. With Shirley Lansing's keen vision of many years of work, Lin Mu will not stay in Paramount for too long, and letting him be the vice chairman is just a step that Sumner Lei Shidong intends to promote him, and it will definitely be of great use to Lin Mu in the future!

Viacom's acquisition of Paramount caused an uproar in Hollywood, which completely broke the original pattern of Hollywood. Prior to the acquisition of the novel complete and super-fast, Paramount was the only independent major film company, and the acquisition marked a new era for Hollywood, with the big studios becoming part of entertainment and media groups. And then Lin Mu was appointed as the vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, which pushed Paramount to the forefront. Many people are envious of Lin Mu's good luck, in less than three years after entering Hollywood, Lin Mu has completed a gorgeous transformation from a screenwriter to an executive of a film company.

Although Lin Mu is still deliberately keeping a low profile, his huge success in his career has attracted a lot of media attention, and some of his old adult stories have once again become the focus of attention, among which people are most interested in the scandal between him and Julia Roberts. The good deeds made a comprehensive comparison between Lin Mu and Barry Diller, two men who had a lot of scandals with Julia Roberts. In Barry Diller and Lin Mu, a lot of striking similarities are found.

Both had attended UCLA, with the difference that Barry Diller dropped out and that Lin was still pursuing a degree. In terms of relationship, although the age difference between the two is nearly 30 years, they can still be regarded as alumni.

The growth experiences of the two are also similar, and both of them first became famous because of TV series. Barry Diller's adaptation and filming of the famous novel "Roots", and in 1977, the miniature television series "Roots" finally aired, which fully embodied the American imagination. Although filming cost more than budget, "Roots" set a record for the highest ratings for a similar show in television history. And Lin Mu became famous with "Friends", which established his status as a talented screenwriter in Hollywood.

And both later grew up inseparable from film, with Barry Diller at the helm of Paramount, bringing the development of the film giant into a golden age. And Lin Mu has gained a foothold in the Hollywood film industry with several excellent scripts such as "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", "Forrest Gump", and "The Shawshank Redemption". The successful post-publicity for Jurassic Park was the first to recognize his commercial talent, and The Outlaw further affirmed that he was an excellent producer.

With the same excellent talent and similar growth trajectory, the only difference between the two is that it took Barry Diller a full 15 years to go from being an agent to taking charge of Paramount, while Lin Mu rose rapidly in just 3 years. Barry Diller has been hailed as a "fanatic" in the media industry who lives on the cusp of the waves, while Lin Mu has been praised as a "genius" in the entertainment industry hidden behind the scenes.

And the best part of this article is the commentary on the first encounter between Barry Diller, an old valve, and Lin Mu, an upstart. The two didn't meet directly, or Lin Mu didn't give Barry Diller a chance to fight back, and Viacom's successful defeat of QVC has announced the final result of the matchup. It's not just about the make-or-break between Lin Mu and Barry Diller, it's the beginning of a new era. The future of Hollywood will be the sky of the younger generation! ”

At the end of the article there is a vague mention of the latest developments in the relationship between Barry Diller and Julia Roberts, and it is not difficult to see from Julia Roberts' indifferent reaction that Barry Diller has suffered serious setbacks in both career and love.

Barry Diller has had a rough time lately, but Lin Mu himself is no better, and his relationship with Julia Roberts is facing a difficult decision, and the two of them have not spoken to each other on the phone for more than a month. Lin Mu had been upset about this matter, but at this time, something that made him even more annoying came to the door unfortunately.

"I ask Dream to give us a reasonable explanation!" The person in charge of a chip company in San Francisco's Silicon Valley high-tech park was very angry and hit Lin Mu, he told Lin Mu that his company had signed a venture capital agreement with Dream before, and now the company's development has officially entered the second stage of the contract, which is a critical stage of technology research and development, which requires a lot of money, and according to the terms of the contract, Dream Investment Company has paid them the second phase of no less than 5 million US dollars for continued investment. But he submitted three applications to Dream, but there was no response. He searched for Kuhler several times, but he didn't see anyone. In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Los Angeles in person, ready to talk to Lin Mu directly.

Thinking of Kuler's recent abnormal performance, Lin Mu felt that something was wrong. After calming the head of the chip company, he immediately rushed to Dream's office. Although Lin Mu didn't ask much about dreams, most of the members of the company knew him. Lin Mu directly found the company's financial director, and from his hesitant expression, Lin Mu knew that this matter had reached a very serious level. Under his questioning, the company's financial director finally told him a piece of news that made him angry. All the funds in Dream's account were misappropriated by Kuhler to speculate in foreign exchange in the United Kingdom.

Kueller used such a large amount of money without knowing it, and Lin Mu didn't know about it, and the anger in his heart at this time can be imagined. From the financial director, Lin Mu also learned that several companies that had signed agreements with the company had met the criteria for the second phase of investment, but there were no funds available on the books, so they had been in arrears for various reasons. Lin Mu didn't expect the problem of Dream Investment Company to be so serious.

Lin Mu used the funds in his private account to temporarily pay the second phase of 5 million investment to the chip company, alleviating their urgent need. At the same time, he asked the financial director to immediately inform Kuller, who was in the UK, to immediately stop all foreign exchange speculation activities and rush back to the United States to explain the matter to Lin Mu. At the same time, he informed the company's legal counsel that if Kuhler did not transfer all the funds back to the company's account within 24 hours, he would immediately file a lawsuit in court!

No matter how stupid Dream staff are, they can see that Lin Mu is really angry this time, they know the relationship between Kueller and Lin Mu, Lin Mu doesn't even give Kuler any room for explanation and loop, and directly has to solve the matter through legal means. The company's financial director immediately woke up Kuller, who was still asleep, and told Kuhler everything about it, and if the funds did not reach the account within 24 hours, Kuhler would wait to go to jail!

Kueller answered the phone, no longer in the mood to sleep, this time he followed Soros's quantum fund to snipe the pound sterling, and then speculated on the British housing market, and the embezzled funds of nearly $200 million have nearly doubled in just half a year. But he knew that he was afraid that the $200 million he earned in the past six months would not be able to fill Lin Mu's anger. Cooler suddenly had a very bad premonition.

The funds were all received after 10 hours, and the full $400 million did not make Lin Mu's face any happy. Kuhler can embezzle $200 million this time, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not embezzle more money in the future, and this kind of unauthorized assertion behavior is the most intolerable thing for Lin Mu. When Dream was founded, there were serious differences between the two on the fundamental investment philosophy, Lin Mu has always insisted on value investing, while Kuhler prefers speculation. Lin Mu felt that Kuhler was no longer suitable to be the head of Dream Company.

Kueller didn't return to China immediately, and he knew that it would be impossible to forgive him if he went back to Lin Mu now. Lin Mu is a person who values friendship, so he can trust a person very much. But what Lin Mu can't tolerate the most is deception, and Kuler's behavior this time has violated his bottom line. Kueller knew that Lin Mu would not pursue his legal responsibility for the past two years, but the cooperative relationship between the two may end here.

Now that the cooperation with Lin Mu has come to an end, Kuhler has to find another way out for his future development, and it is at this moment that he receives a call from Soros. Half a year ago, Kuhler keenly perceived the opportunity to speculate on the pound from the changes in the international financial market, and when he came to the UK, he happened to meet Soros, who also came to speculate in foreign exchange. Soros admires this young American who is also Jewish, and the two decide to work together to snipe the pound!

In September, speculators began attacking the weak currencies of the European exchange rate system, including the British pound and the Italian lira. Soros and Kuhler have teamed up with a number of mutual funds and multinational corporations that have been engaged in arbitrage operations for a long time to sell weak European currencies in the market, so that the central banks of these countries have to spend huge sums of money to support the value of their currencies. The British government's plan to borrow trillions of pounds from the International Banking Organization to stop the pound from depreciating further is a drop in the bucket. Soros alone spent $10 billion in this battle with the British government. Soros sold $7 billion in pounds sterling and bought $6 billion in a strong currency, the mark, and at the same time, considering that the depreciation (appreciation) of a country's currency usually leads to the rise (fall) of the country's stock market, Soros bought another $500 million worth of British stocks and sold a huge amount of German stocks. If Soros is the only one to compete with Britain, the British government may still have a glimmer of hope, but the participation of many speculators in the world has made the disparity of power between the two sides of this contest huge, and the British government is doomed to failure.

Soros became the biggest winner of this big gamble!

"Is it really decided?" In front of Lin Mu was Kuler's resignation letter, Kuler returned to the United States a week later, and he did not give any explanation to Lin Mu, but directly proposed to Lin Mu to leave.

"There's no point in staying, you're now the vice chairman of Paramount, I'm afraid you don't need a full-time agent anymore, Dream here, I think you've found the right person. And now that I've found a better fit for me, I can't see a reason to stay. Thomas Kuhler wants to be a true friend of Lin, not to live in your back for the rest of your life! "After Kueller came back from England, his whole temperament changed a lot, and he became even more incomprehensible to Lin Mu.

"In my heart, I've always thought of you as my friend, but I didn't expect you to think so." Lin Mu suddenly felt that he was a little defeated, he had known Kuler for so long, in fact, he had never really understood him.

"A lot of people say that you succeed too easily, but I know that you're actually very busy all the time, you're so busy planning everything for the future, so you rarely care about what the people around you think. It's not your personal selfishness, it's someone else's incomprehension. And I want to be someone who can understand you. ”

"That's not a reason for you to leave!"

"On the stage of life, I don't want to be a supporting role for the rest of my life!" Kuhler said calmly.

Lin Mu sighed softly, he had never thought about these issues before. "What are your plans for the future?" Kuler had made up his mind, and Lin Mu knew that he couldn't keep him.

"I met Mr. Soros in the UK not long ago, and he is willing to give me a place in his fund company!" Kuhler did not hide it.

"Quantum Fund?" Lin Mu nodded, maybe it was more suitable for Kuller, at least Soros liked speculation as much as Kuller. He pulled out a check that had been written in advance and handed it to Cooler. "This is the commission you get from speculating in foreign exchange, and this is what you should get before our contract is officially terminated!"

Kuhler didn't refuse, $10 million was not a small amount for him now, and he whispered thank you as he left.

And Lin Mu's mood was terrible, he had never felt so lost. When his girlfriend broke up and his friends said goodbye, Lin Mu reached the first peak in his career, but his heart sank to the bottom. He finally felt lonely, an irresistible loneliness! Lin Mu began to feel crazy homesick at this time, he was now like a child feeling panicked, and he desperately longed to return to his parents.
