Tommy hadn't paid much attention to the past in Hollywood, and he didn't care much about which one of Steve Ross or Barry Diller could dominate Hollywood in the last decade, but Herbert's other Jewish name came out of his mouth, and he felt like thunder.

Disney Chairman and CEO, Michael Eisner.

That is, Herbert's protégé of Barry Diller, who was helped by Warner's Steve Ross after the mentor and apprentice, and persuaded the Disney board of directors to offer him the job of Disney's chairman and CEO.

The Jewish film mogul was invited to give lectures by many business schools around the world, including the Boston University Business School, where Tommy studied, and even Tommy bought an autobiography signed by the other party at the lecture.

At the helm of Disney for 21 years, he turned a film company that barely accompanied the six last seats in Hollywood and had a market value of barely more than $2 billion when he took over, into a Disney Kingdom with a revenue of more than 3 billion a year and a market value of nearly 50 billion at the time of his resignation.

Michael Eisner's 21 years at the helm of Disney have been called Disney's Renaissance and are second only to Walt Disney's creation of the Disney brand in the history of the company's history documented on Disney's own website.

In other words, it is this dictatorial madman who has always refused to give up power and even set up the Disney board of directors to lay a solid foundation for Disney's rise in the new century, which is why Disney acquired Pixar for 7.4 billion, Lucas for 4 billion, Marvel for 4.2 billion and even Fox for 71 billion after he left office, and he is almost about to achieve the historical feat of dominating Hollywood.

It also made the Disney board of directors sincerely erect a monument to him, the Disney headquarters building in Berkban, which was named the Michael Eisner Building by the Disney board of directors, even though Michael Eisner had been forced to resign by the board of directors at that time.

Even at the unveiling, the Disney board of directors specially asked the etiquette company to design the invitation letter, reviewed the text on the invitation letter word by word, and solemnly sent an invitation to Michael Esner, hoping that the other party could return to Disney headquarters and let Disney thank him in person for everything he has done for Disney over the years.

You must know that the Disney company is the property of the Disney family, and the board of directors is controlled by a group of Disney family members, but on the issue of naming the headquarters building, the grandfather of Disney, the founder of his own family, did not enjoy this treatment, but gave it to an outsider, which shows Michael Eisner's influence and the Disney family's recognition of him.

However, Michael Eisner did not attend the unveiling ceremony of his monument, indifferent as the Disney board of directors forced him to resign, after he signed the agreement, he left the Disney headquarters office where he worked for 21 years without hesitation, and even according to the contract, he still enjoyed a series of benefits provided by Disney after resignation, such as corporate business jet travel, medical insurance, housing rental subsidies, retirement allowances, etc., were also directly waived by him, cutting off all ties with Disney.

Of course, Tommy doesn't have any idea about these famous Jewish tycoons in Hollywood right now, and he doesn't care what virtues they have achieved, except that he is not interested, and another reason is that his current wealth does not allow him to have any thoughts about dominating Hollywood.

What's more, the main problem Herbert talked to him about was not to fool him into taking money to make a movie, but CNN's little Turner hopes to take a stake in his own BT Entertainment production company in the name of Warner, and then produce a few reality shows that the audience is willing to pay for to watch, which is completely irrelevant to Hollywood.

As for Tommy's trust in Herbert, it is actually a matter of dominance, whether it is a movie or a TV show, many producers have a headache is that the gold owner suddenly jumps out and points fingers, and the gold owner always feels that although he doesn't understand the specific process, he can earn hundreds of millions of net worth, his mind should be absolutely enough, and his business vision will never be wrong, so in the process of program production, he suddenly patted his head and thought of a self-righteous idea, and wanted to give some instructions to the more professional production team that looked very stupid*.

If the show is successful, everyone will naturally be happy, and if the ratings hit the street, the production team will ruin the reputation.

So Tommy insisted on talking about trust first, and as for the real benefits, he had to wait until Mr. Turner Jr. could only pay for it and never criticize him Tommy Hawke's gold-medal vulgar reality show producer, Rick Luthor, and then talk slowly.

If you can't even pay for the trust, let alone the other party.

CNN's Turner Jr. is of course a successful businessman, but even if he succeeds, he actually has some problems of being too strong, lacking trust in subordinates or partners, and always has the habit of delegating power and then jumping out to point fingers.

For example, he is the owner of the Atlanta Warriors in Major League Baseball, and it is said that the daily management of the team is managed by a special club manager, and the head coach is responsible for the team's record.

But after buying the team, Turner Jr. felt that as a die-hard baseball fan with decades of experience watching baseball games, why did he need to hire a club manager with a high salary to help take care of it, and buy the baseball team himself, didn't he just hope that he could build a dynasty himself?

As a result, the tycoon held a team press conference and announced that he was the manager of the team's club, and if it weren't for the fact that the head coach needs a professional practice certificate, maybe he would be ready to announce that he is also the head coach of the team on the spot.

This press conference allowed Turner Jr. to harvest the hundreds of Atlanta fans on the field that day, and the whole stadium was comparable to "***!" return the money".

The Atlanta Warriors have been established for more than 100 years, and in the history of the team for more than 100 years, they have only won one championship, and finally replaced the owner of Turner Jr., who seems to really love baseball, and the fans thought that the club finally ushered in a money owner who was willing to spend money to win the championship, but this guy came up and gave the fans a stick, telling everyone that the main purpose of buying the team is not to win the championship, but to get past the addiction of the club manager and head coach.

The Major League Baseball Committee sent a commissioner to meet with Turner Jr. the next day and told him that the league has a rule that club managers are prohibited from holding shares in the team, and if Turner Jr. insists on being the club manager of the team, he must give up ownership of the team before he can apply to the new team owner and win the job of club manager.

After thinking about it, Turner Jr. felt that no club should be willing to hire a layman as his manager, and finally announced his resignation as manager in anger.

Therefore, Turner Jr. is the shortest team manager in his career since the establishment of the Atlanta Warriors and even Major League Baseball, serving for two days, during his career, the team's record is one game and one defeat, and the winning rate is 0%.

Unable to experience the thrill of building a dynasty with his own hands, Turner Jr. began to ask about the team's logo, jersey and other design questions, and even fooled his team's star players to change their surnames or nicknames, and then imprinted them on their jerseys.

Most of the nicknames or surnames he helped choose included CNN, and a few were the brand names of other sponsors, such as team star Andy Messer Smith, who reported to reporters that owner Turner Jr. had invited him to dinner and asked him if he could apply to the league to change his surname to Corona.

One of the sports and entertainment news that Atlanta often sees is what Turner Jr. has named for his outstanding MVP player today.

A few years before he bought the team, it was clear that the team's record was in decline, but the majority of fans were closely united with the team players, coaches, team doctors and even managers.

Because all the people who love this team know that there is only one real enemy of the Atlanta Warriors right now, and that is owner Turner Jr.

Tommy doesn't want to be a top reality TV talent from San Fernando, Rick Luthor, who is trying to make money for himself, thinks he's going to get revenge and tortures them by sending a weird guy like Turner Jr. who likes to play in person.

After meeting his father-in-law and Herbert Siegel, Tommy did not rush to leave New York, but went to meet with Wolf Tucker, who was busy preparing the financial news network.

He knows Wolf-Tucker has been under a lot of pressure lately.

It's not the pressure of work, but the pressure of public opinion from these people around me.

BT TV Network, Wolf Tucker led the team from the very beginning of registration, to open up the joints, to build the skeleton, and did it himself, the result is that BT TV Network is now sought after by a large number of black people in the United States, but he has gained nothing.

VOX News Network, again Wolf Tucker and his team worked hard all the way from leasing satellite bandwidth to launching broadcasts, only to be replaced by Maurice Schoenfeld, a Jew who was suddenly parachuted in.

Now, Tommy has brought Wolf-Tucker from Washington to New York to set up a financial news network.

Not only did the team members who followed Wolf-Tucker complain, but even his wife had already complained about it, and they all felt that Tommy was just hanging a carrot in front of Wolfe, making him go around like a stupid donkey, and helping Tommy reap a steady stream of success while he himself got nothing.

According to what Tommy learned, it was not without a large headhunting firm that offered Wolf Tucker a sky-high salary and invited him to lead the team to change jobs and find another job, but Wolf turned them all down.

Wolf's choice of a place to meet Tommy was a little stunned, it was a Japanese-style business club.

It's not that Tommy wonders why there is a Japanese-style business club in New York, after all, the Japanese have opened a lot of Japanese restaurants and Japanese-style tea rooms in the United States in order to export Japanese culture to the world over the years, and what makes Tommy stunned is that Wolf is a black man, and the picture of a black man wearing a Japanese bathrobe walking into the tea room, he has only seen it in some Japanese sadomasochistic action movies in his previous life, and this shape gives him a sense of familiarity after a long absence.

Seeing Wolf sitting on his knees in front of the low table, concentrating on admiring the appearance of the Japanese tea master preparing tea, Tommy smiled, "When did you fall in love with Japanese culture?" ”

"Tommy, you should learn that, like me, you should concentrate on appreciating the cup of tea in front of you, which is called watching tea." As if he was about to make the final preparations before seppuku, Wolf put his hands on his waist, his head slightly lowered, his eyes stared at the tea cup in front of him, and it was not until a long time later that he raised his head and smiled at Tommy: "It is very effective in relieving stress, and it can be seen that although the United States hates Japan now, Japan still has merit." ”

"That's Chinese art, okay? Drinking tea is of course a habit that exists all over the world, but as an art, I think it should be considered Chinese art, and when the Chinese drink tea, the Japanese are still arguing whether their ancestors are exiled Chinese Taoists or a short man who has the Hydra demon. Tommy didn't let his knee suffer as much as Wolfe's, and sat cross-legged across from him and said with a smile:

"No one knows the art of tea better than I do."

The Japanese tea master next to him frowned slightly when he heard Tommy's rude words, but finally pressed the urge to explain, just took a few deep breaths, tried to ignore this rude fellow, and continued to say to Wolf-Tucker in a somewhat strange Japanese English tone:

"Mr. Tucker, hold it in both hands and close your eyes to feel its aroma before tasting it, the moment you close your eyes and feel it, you will forget ......"

"Shhh...... ...... hissed before the tea master could finish speaking, Tommy was already making a hissing sound of hot water, which was comparable to a Japanese eating ramen in a library, destroying all the artistic beauty.

Wolf opened his eyes, and the tea master turned his head to see Tommy taking a sip of hot tea in a teacup.

"Tommy, respect the artist." Wolf smiled helplessly at Tommy.

Tommy glanced at the tea master: "Respect what?" I said, he doesn't know as much about tea as I am, what are you watching when you watch tea? ”

"The movement of tea leaves in the water, the beauty of the rising water mist?" Seeing Tommy's straightforward expression, Wolf was a little unsure whether this guy was bragging or really understanding, so he looked at the tea master and said with some weakness.

Fortunately, the tea master gave him a very positive look: "Mr. Tucker, what you said is very accurate. ”

"If water vapor is aesthetically pleasing, why would the blacks working in the boiler room protest against the whites for letting them do this job that is so close to art, hey, Japs." Tommy took out a cigarette and lit it, glanced at the Japanese tea master with disgust, and said:

"Someone go find me a mat or something to put under my butt, the balls under my bathrobe are freezing to the point of catching a bad cold, I don't want it to run a nose at Wolfe, a big black man!"

"Sir, it's art ......"

"Of course it is art, I don't deny it, let me tell you, what should you appreciate, you are appreciating yourself or every human life, during which the tea is like us, the boiling water in this cup is our world, we dance with the boiling water, stretch, show our existence to the world, we sometimes surface, sometimes fall into the bottom of the cup, every rise and fall, represents a wonderful experience in life, tea rises and falls in the boiling water, just like life in the world ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs, when the boiling level is quiet, the tea sinks to the bottom of the cup, Everything falls silent, just as we end up losing our lives and falling prey to maggots. Tommy picked up the dry teacup and looked at Wolf:

"It's called a tea, and you're spending a lot of money just to get the Japanese to teach you how to appreciate water vapor? Isn't it good to buy a kettle at home and open the lid to boil water, Wolfe? ”

"Or do you really think that burning the boiler can relieve the pressure, I have a boiler room on my estate on Long Island, New York, if you want, you can go to the boiler part-time every day and enjoy the beauty by the way, for the sake of you being my friend, you don't have to pay the ticket, you only need to bring your own coal, and you can also know a friend called Martin the Miller, Tucker the Boiler House, Martin the Miller, and if this continues, my estate will prosper again sooner or later."

"After listening to you, I don't think the Japanese tea ceremony can help me relieve stress anymore, thank you, Tommy, it's okay, please go back to California?" Wolf looked at the tea master next to him, who was already speechless, and said to Tommy.

Tommy flicked the ash from the empty teacup as an ashtray: "You don't need to care about the pressure, those people don't know what you're getting, but you know it." ”

"Let's get down to business, Tommy, don't ruin all my knowledge of the world, and you, Japanese master, thank you, I'm sorry you won't be able to earn my tips in the future, don't hate me, remember to hate this Mr. Tommy Hawke across from me." Wolf sat down cross-legged in Tommy's style, rubbed his knees and said to the tea master, "By the way, if I ...... Also cold, I will let the lawyer complain to you, you can go. ”

After the poor tea master left, Tommy looked at Wolf Tucker and said with a smile: "Let your trusted financial reporter investigate whether KeyBank has illegal business practices." ”

"That's not yours...... I do not quite understand. Wolf-Tucker opened up in some confusion.

Tommy pointed his finger at the cup of hot tea in front of Wolfe: "If you don't want the tea to sink to the bottom of the cup, you need boiling water to keep it flowing." ”
