Chapter 191: AMC TV Reform and Bei Ye

Ever since Abel entered Wall Street.

It can be said that he and the Wall Street giants have always been in a state of no offense.

The vast majority of his wealth comes from the international market.

Mainly in the foreign exchange market, precious metal futures market and international crude oil market.

His investments in these places.

It's all operated by Wall Street giants.

Interest and commissions alone.

In a year, Wall Street giants may have earned hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not to mention, the flow of funds that he casually watched.

It also made many of its Wall Street giants drink a lot of soup with them.

All the while, he gave the impression of Wall Street.

It's the second Peter Lynch-

Honest and well-behaved, the kind of image that is happy to make money for everyone.

But Abel certainly didn't want to be a second Peter Lynch.

What is there to be a stock angel?

At a young age of forty, he chose to retire.

What's the point of that?

He has to be himself.

He also wants to be one of the giants, even the most powerful.

He wanted to stand on his own.

That's why at the investment reception on the 15th of last month, his valuation offer was frighteningly high.

That offer was originally a rejection of people and thousands of miles away.

Even if he subsequently gave a considerable VAM agreement.

There is still no crazy person who wants to agree with his valuation.

This gave him a follow-up plan for the second step

He began to set up his own portal.

Abel began to become the owner of a medium-sized commercial bank through mergers and acquisitions.

The first few are fine.

The latter one has Abel's own bank.

This is the reason why Wall Street giants can't tolerate it.

Because Abel had his own bank.

It means that Wall Street, it is difficult to monitor the flow of Abel's funds at will.

It also means that Abel makes Wall Street giants earn very cool commissions and interest.

It may be gone in the future.

A very high-quality future cash cow in their eyes, the second Peter Lynch.

I want to be their kind.

After that, the treatment he received from these Wall Street giants was naturally different.

He began to be seen as a fellow species and began to be hostile.

That's why the whole Wall Street is starting to be a little hostile to him.

But in fact, this hostility is not hostile.

Because any giant that has gained a foothold on Wall Street.

The whole of Wall Street is treated with this attitude.

Simply put, every Wall Street giant.

will be hostile to other Wall Street giants, and this hostility is unanimous and "fair".

Whether it is Abel, Goldman Sachs, or Lehman, the treatment is the same.

This is the hostility and pressure that any company and individual who wants to become a Wall Street giant must endure.

No one can avoid it.

The time came to the thirtieth.

&0 years when there are only two days left.

Smith Capital, with its credit lines in three banks, has spent $21 billion.

Although there is still $20 billion in credit lines that have not been used.

But the floating loss on Smith's capital account has reached $250 million.

In other words, in two days, Smith Capital has lost $250 million.

Some of the employees of Smith Capital in the safe house state have already shaken their hearts.

But their boss still insisted on shorting.

Put your money only on short positions on USD/JPY.

As a hit

Workers, including David Mellon.

They didn't dare to persuade the boss at this time.

It can only depend on the boss, whether there is any preparation left behind.

But their boss left the Smith Building on the 30th.

Abel should have been on the spot, monitoring the transaction.

Appeared at the headquarters of the American classic movie cable television station.

That is, the headquarters of one of the cable television stations in the United States, AMC TV.

& TV station was originally one of the TV stations controlled by Rainbow Media Holding Group.

But about a month ago.

It was acquired by AB Smith Entertainment, owned by Abel.

& TV station, officially became a wholly-owned subsidiary of A Smith Entertainment.

Become Abel's company.

This means that TV A has also become MGM's brother company.

Troubled A for many years, the problem of not having a good source of movies was suddenly swept away.

MGM has a library of more than 3,000 movies and more than 4,000 episodes of TV dramas.

In accordance with the corresponding fees and regulations, it will be open to TV station A for authorized use.

In the past, in this regard, A, who was sometimes so "poor" that he had to play black-and-white movies, suddenly became "wider".

&'s management, at the request of A Smith Entertainment, immediately adjusted the development direction of the TV station.

> Television began to show MGM's more popular films.

This attracted a large audience, and a small number of commercials began to appear on TV shows.

As both the show and the movie are relatively new to the TV station, the viewership increased by more than 5% in a month.

The reason why Abel appeared in the headquarters of AMC TV today.

Naturally, he came prepared.

Not long after Abel arrived at the company.

It was announced that the former general manager of AMC, Manlester, had been fired.

In the name of Chairman, Abel was appointed to work for HBO.

At HBO, Richard Preppler, Senior Deputy Liaison Officer and Advisor to the CEO.

Let Richard Preppler become the new general manager of AMC Television.

Richard Preppler is a very capable man.

In alternate planes, he is known as the father of HBO.

Before he became the CEO of HBO.

& Just one of the better of the many paid cable TV stations in the United States.

After Richard Preppler took the throne, HBO started its path to becoming a giant in the industry.

"Black D Family", "Game of Thrones", etc., HBO's most popular TV series.

All from Richard Prepler's tenure as CEO.

This time Abel did the same again.

It's the same as poaching people at Mickey Mouse Disney's.

He poached Richard Prepler from HBO with better pay and a higher position.

and appointed Richard Preppler as the new general manager of AMC.

In addition, there are a series of other personnel appointments at AMC.

Just this morning, Abel can be said to have swept away the original management of AMC TV.

A small number of former managers who were left behind were also either reassigned or placed on probation.

Although Abel did.

It will make AMC TV station have to pay more than 20 million US dollars for firing squid, that is, dismissal costs.

But this also made the management of AMC TV, and the whole situation suddenly freshened a lot.

At the new management meeting, Abel made several demands.

"The first request is that I want AMC TV to have "three new" every year from now on!"

"Three new, referring to a single episode of 3 million dollars

TV series at a cost of RMB, TV A will release at least three TV dramas a year."

"The second requirement is outside of movies and TV series."

"AMC TV is going to expand its programming to other areas. For example, reality TV."

"By the way, this time I got a veteran from the UK."

"He's also an explorer, his name is Bear Grylls, and he's working on a book."

"I'm going to have AMC TV create a wilderness survival adventure reality show for this explorer!"

"How do I do this, let the screenwriter department and producers of AMC TV submit a proposal!"

Abel made a lot of demands in one breath.

In the end, he didn't dare to speak out in front of the new management of AMC TV.

Said something that made them very happy.

"In addition to these requirements. I'm going to inject $200 million into TV A next year."

"This is the start-up capital I gave you. I hope you can respond with a passing grade!"

Let go of these demands and leave behind the promise of a $200 million injection.

Abel left as fast as he came.

He quickly left the conference room.

Let the new management of TV A look at each other in the conference room.

Finally, there's the new general manager, Richard Pleple, who stepped up to clean up the situation.

"Ahem, ahem"

Richard Preppler coughed and cleared his throat.

"Boss's request, everyone obviously heard."

"I won't say more nonsense. I'm sure you've heard too much about our dear Mr. Abel Smith in the newspapers."

"Next, I'll say a few words, just a few words."

「.」

These few words from Richard Plepler.

It's just over an hour.

Wait until more than an hour later.

> The TV station, the new management, just came out of the office.

By this time, it was almost noon.

Richard Prepler was on HBO's side, and at this time he was only one of the top executives.

There are at least five or six people in front of the CEO's position.

Although before that, HBO's development momentum, potential.

"To be honest, I'm a little apprehensive right now. We've lost $350 million, and look, it's $380 million now."

"Don't you believe me?" Abel replied to him.

David immediately said, "Believe!"

Abel's investment experience over the past year.

David has long been allowed to develop the habit of blind obedience.

This time it was a bit of a loss, the first time Smith Capital lost so much.

David began to doubt life a little.

But Abel wanted to ask this, and David replied decisively.

"Isn't that enough?" Abel patted him on the shoulder.

"Trust me, brother. In the realm of finance, I am God."

"I'll leave it to you, as long as it doesn't exceed 107.800, or doesn't fall to 107.200, you don't need to inform me."

"With the current amount and speed of funds, just continue to buy short orders."

"Notify me as soon as you reach these two cordons."

"Got it?"

The boss gave such a direct order.

Even if David Mellon didn't understand, he chose to resolutely implement it.

"Understood." David said.

Able smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Finally, I looked at the USD/JPY quote on the wall of the screen for a while.

Reaffirming one's "talent" has not changed much.

Only then did he leave with peace of mind

Open Smith Building.

When he arrived at the parking lot in front of the building, Abel noticed that it was snowing again in New York.

New York began in November this year and snowed for almost a month by mid-December.

Since December 20th, it has been ten days now, and there has been no snow in between.

It's snowing again today.

This means that the weather is going to get cold again.

Abel shook his head, knowing that January would be the coldest time in New York.

If it weren't for the Smith Building, he wouldn't be able to leave for the time being.

At this point, he is expected to go to Los Angeles to escape the cold.

Although the snow was not heavy at this time, he was also worried that the snow would become heavier halfway through.

Flying in a helicopter like that would be much more dangerous.

For the sake of insurance, he still chose to take the car into Manhattan.

With that in mind, he got on the Cadillac STS in the middle of the convoy.

The convoy left the Smith Building in the snow.

An hour later.

He appeared on the eighteenth floor of the Carnegie Hill Building, where he had not returned for a long time.

Here, he has a 7 bedroom, 9 bathroom, 7,500 square foot luxury apartment.

Downstairs from the apartment is Fifth Avenue and across the road is the Middle School. Yang Park.

Heavy snow is drifting.

Throughout the . Yang Park is dyed in white colors.

Looking down from the eighteen-story building, it looks particularly beautiful.

The apartment is warm in the living room.

When Abel appeared.

Anne Hathaway is holding a large bucket of potato chips and watching TV on the sofa in a "Ge You Lying" position.

Abel noticed that the TV station she was watching was AMC.

> What the TV station is broadcasting seems to be an old "007" movie.

She seemed to be watching very attentively, and the sound of Gina opening the door for Able to come in.

She didn't hear it.

Gina was about to call her when she was stopped by Abel.

Abel stopped, motioned to Gina not to disturb Anne, and let Gina go to a small room on the side.

Jinna Korshunova, one of the former members of the Swallows in her forties, suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

[The boss can't take a fancy to me, right? 】

[I'm in my forties. 】

[But it's not impossible. When I was younger, I was also very beautiful! 】

[Maybe the boss will take this bite? 】

With such a "nervous" mentality.

Jinna followed the boss to the small room.

When she noticed.

Except for Abel, who came into the small room.

There are also Edward and Johnson, two male bodyguards.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

With the boss's terrifyingly powerful exclusivity.

There were other men in the room.

That means that the boss should not be interested in him.

Jin Na was a little angry about this - [When the old lady was young, she was really a flower]!

Then Gina heard the boss say to her:

"Jinna, I remember that the information said that you are from the former Sakhar Republic, right?"

Jin Na sighed in her heart, she didn't know why the boss suddenly asked this.

But she nodded honestly, "Yes."
