Reborn American Tycoon
Page 88
Banks have been withdrawing funds for some time, and if the decline cannot be controlled, many shareholders will really be in bad luck.
These are only the problems of ordinary shareholders. The leverage ratio of institutions is very high, and these guys are naturally very popular.
Big Blue's attitude towards microcomputers has always been criticized by shareholders, but this time it is not bad, and finally began to pay attention to this growing market.
Expansion of business naturally means new profit growth points, which can be regarded as a major benefit. I never expected that organizations that wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to increase shipments would collectively lie down without exception.
IBM's interim board of directors is simply a Shura field, with all kinds of abuse and accusations.
"Can any of you tell me what's going on with that Microsoft company? Is there any black box operation? And that Lotus software, whose idea is it to abandon the White system? What is the purpose? That company is just a software company, don't Tell me about any conflicts of interest."
A group of shareholders clamored and almost overturned the table in the conference room. The board of directors of Giant Blue has never seen such a scene.
Although the shareholders' accusations are various, the core idea is very clear. If you don't choose the most reliable or the most famous, what kind of process is this?
This is really hard to answer. You can't say that Bill and I have a good relationship. If you really say that, this meeting will not be held.
Leaving aside the war between them, Lotus is still very happy. Although it doesn't sell much software, it is still a good situation.
After all, Big Blue is a big company, and its background is not comparable to that of Apple. It is a fact that the shipments did not meet expectations, and the absolute number is actually not a lot.
It has been more than a week since the IBM PC was released. Seeing that the sales situation is not bad, Lotus has also increased the production of software. They did not expect that the white software was delayed. The software prepared now is obviously not enough.
Just when they were full of ambition, White Software suddenly shipped, including office suits, almost the whole series.
"asshole"
Seeing the date on the package, the blue giant and the lotus spurted blood. You are so bullying. You gave birth at the end of March, but you said it will take another six months.
yes!I lied to you, you bite me?
The most speechless thing is that the IBM PC with the office suit installed has become smoother. Even if all the problems have not been solved, at least seven or eighty-eight have been solved.
Nima, do you dare to slap me in the face again?
Lianhua was hanged again, this time there is really no way, your software can't be used at all, it's all about what.
Not your problem?This is a problem with the operating system.
Are you kidding me?Because Mao White's software is fine, the operating system is Microsoft's, not White's, so hurry up and return the product.
The guy who was still fighting on the board of directors went crazy when he heard the news.
The reason for being angry is of course very simple. They just want you to look good on purpose, that is, they want your stock price to fluctuate greatly.
Who is William White, they finally know this time.
There are no ifs in this world, and the loss of this entry and exit is too great.
For the sake of confidentiality, so delay handing over to White Software's operating system?
Haha, they already have it in their hands, and they have studied it thoroughly, knowing what the loopholes in this system are.
However, people just don't tell you, you can use the software to study it, don't worry, it will definitely not be very easy, casual changes may cause the system to crash.
Microsoft has also been pitted miserably, your patches are not very good, what should you do with these computers that you bought White office suits?
This bloody drama staged in the IT world has opened the eyes of Hollywood directors. They have learned a lot, and they can still play like this.
The high-spirited God Qiao naturally started his publicity offensive again, and teasing IBM is naturally a repertoire.
Of course, he didn't forget to call and complain. William White knew very well that this product was a good one who took advantage of it. The current situation is already very good. If you can't live for a few more years, I'm really sorry. Kindness from William White.
"Boss, we got a $15 billion loan from the foot basin."
"Tsk, this is really troublesome."
"Boss, the expectation of yen appreciation is obvious, and they do have concerns."
"Haha, of course I know the appreciation expectation, otherwise I would just borrow the yen."
"Including domestic securities-backed loans, we now have 25 billion."
"Well, let's pay the agreed 20 billion first, then use NBC's shares to borrow [-] billion, and then use other company shares to loan [-] million, and tell those investment banks that if the interest rate is high, I will go to Europe for loans."
"Okay, boss, I guess they will compromise."
William White quickly settled the first payment, which caught the consortium a little off guard. Their good expectations would not be realized. If they didn't make a move, these loans would disappear.
When you have the ability to pay, the bank is begging you for a loan, and their deposits also need to pay interest. If there is no such interest rate difference, closing down is the only option.
In the final analysis, the investment bank is not optimistic about William White's acquisition. They actually have a more secure financing method. Of course, this kind of security is relative. As for why they want to loan him, the reason is very simple, and there is no problem with his ability to pay.
Then again, once something goes wrong, the Foot Basin Consortium can't catch them. It's not news that Laomei's regulatory authorities have always been biased.
This tearing battle in the IT world has allowed Wall Street to see the strength of White Software. Although it is far behind Big Blue, it still has the right to speak in certain fields. They are very sure that Big Blue will definitely change its strategy. You It's okay to get slapped in the face once, but it would be too embarrassing if you get slapped in the face every time.
Chapter 188 Hot Shooting Scene
The acquisition has come to an end for the time being, and it will take a process to take over this part of the assets, as well as the review of relevant departments. Of course, William White does not need to do these things himself. A large group of lawyers are just doing these things.
The cast of Speed is finally complete, well, a lot of wretched guys figured out that Natasha Kinski will be the heroine.
As for the reason?Everyone understands.
As for the leading actor, Cruise is very lucky, this guy whose height is almost a disaster, was selected for some reason.
Just looking at the choices of the two protagonists, this movie is undoubtedly a youth idol drama, but the facts are always different from what most people think.
The bigwigs in Hollywood know that this is a big-budget cop movie.People plan to spend several million on special effects, dare you say it's not a big production.
Whether such two actors can support this movie is a question no one will ask now, unless you are a newcomer in Hollywood.
Regardless of the fact that White Films is a new company, they have never failed once. What kind of concept is it that the box office in North America exceeds [-] million? This is almost the nightmare of other giants.
The new CEO of Warner Bros. is getting dizzy every time he thinks about meeting that guy in a movie, and it's as bad as it gets.
Game consoles are looking like they are going to be sold out, and their Superman has to compete with others. It is just a dream to make a profit this year.
With a loud bang, a brand-new elevator fell apart, and white smoke quickly rose upwards. The scene was terrifying.
Although arrangements were made in advance, many residents still called the police. It is one thing for you to watch a movie, but it is definitely another thing if the elevator really falls.
"All units don't stop, keep shooting."
Now that this is the case, I decided to shoot more realistically, even the howling siren couldn't stop his madness.
Brother Cruise's face turned pale, he was really confused, whether the director wanted to cultivate him or cheat him.
Well, he really thought too much, you are just a little fresh meat, there are so many in West Hollywood, I really don't know what kind of shit luck you have.
There are far more people who envy him than Natasha Kinski. There is really no way. Actresses in this era are really weak, especially first-line stars.
"Ka, all units, clean up the mess immediately, Suzuki, call the insurance company, Max, help me deal with the aftermath."
Although it caused a lot of damage, no one was injured. As long as there is no accident, he really doesn't care about other things.
"Ahem, that's how Lucas makes movies?"
"I don't know, it shouldn't be like this before. This is rich, but don't tell me, it's really fun."
Spielberg could only shake his head and smile wryly. My buddies always make careful calculations when making movies. In this hands, good guy, this is only the first set of shots, and it actually ruined half of the building.
It has to be said that he was thinking too much. It wasn't the main building that collapsed, it was just a marble decorative panel.
"Xiaohu, did the guy put too much gunpowder just now?"
"Young master, it really takes so much to blow up the steel cables. These guys are very professional. There should be a problem with the hotel's marble installation."
"Sick to death, the first set of shots is like this, when will this be a toss."
The next day, when a bus was torn apart, Lucas was not calm anymore. Now he understood why so many dollars were needed.
This version of the explosion bridge is more popular than the original version. Not only does the bus need to be turned into a pile of scrap metal, but it also needs to show the power of the shock wave. The original version did not explain clearly.
Watching a movie and being on the scene are two different things. The impact of the glass being shattered is absolutely jaw-dropping.
"Lucas, what special effects are you in charge of? Isn't he really going to destroy the subway and the plane?"
"The main thing is the subway part. He bought a scrapped plane and it is currently being repainted."
"Madman, this is a complete madman."
"Haha, I love this movie so much, it's just that there might be a problem with the rating, but it doesn't matter, even if it's an R-rated movie, it will still be a hit at the box office."
The central idea of this movie is a fried word, villas, subways, airplanes, anyway, they are all gone.
As for why the second part failed, the reason is very simple. The explosion of an oil tanker obviously cannot meet the needs of the audience. The only thing the audience remembers is the last ringing of the bell.
Let William White say that Speed 2 is a big bad movie, except for the performance of the heroine, it is almost useless.The biggest problem is that investment is absolutely indispensable. If it is not for the good reputation of the first film, it is probably another movie that makes people vomit blood.
The biggest poisonous point is that the male protagonist suddenly changed, and it is not impossible to change, the problem is that you did not explain, if the female protagonist likes a peaceful life, it is absolutely impossible to find another detective as her husband, which is really unreasonable.It is estimated that many people were directly persuaded to leave.
Why change corners?
Haha, the reason is very simple. Thanks to CAA, the box office of big-name actors has soared, and the film companies simply cannot afford to hire them. The salary is 5000 million at every turn. What a speechless figure!
Although this era is not so outrageous, don’t forget that the current 1000 million is definitely not much less than the 2010 million after 5000.
The original script that Miao Tan released was for Stallone to shoot it, and the salary at that time was starting at tens of millions, and ordinary film companies really didn't dare to shoot it.
This year's Hollywood will usher in major changes. United Artists is finished, and the consortium behind it is not doing well, and is planning to sell United Artists.
Disney has changed hands, and while the deal isn't complete, time is running out and it's just a matter of approval.
There will be no problems with this thing. Both the consortium and Peanutton want to facilitate this transaction. In many cases, major commercial mergers and acquisitions mean that the economy has successfully bottomed out.
Mergers and acquisitions close to US$40 billion are major news in any era, and William White himself is a news maker, so it is impossible not to be noticed.
Reporters in this era obviously lack moral integrity. Even if nothing major happened, these guys can make up a headline about a major accident for you, and the thick smoke billowing for dozens of miles.
These bastards still have a bottom line, at least it shows that there are no casualties, but it also adds that the insurance company has already planned to withdraw the insurance.
Well, this is basically the truth, the insurance company is really scared, you are just a warm-up, and you made such a big noise, but there are subways and planes behind it.
To put it bluntly, you can afford to play, but we are not prodigal without you. The risk is too high.
Hollywood giants are so jealous that they want to vomit blood. Your movie has just started shooting, and now everyone knows about it. It would be hell if the box office is poor.
We can't even do your small-budget filming. If this starts a big production, there is still a way for us to survive, help!
Chapter 189 My TV Station
It's a pity that no one cares about their wailing, you're justified in making a bad film, get out of here, and that Oscar is blind.
With the approval of the relevant departments, William White's first funds were in place, and NBC finally ushered in its new owner.
"Barry, I don't have short-term profit requirements, but there is one thing, you help me complete the reorganization of resources as soon as possible, and the cable TV network must continue to expand."
"Okay, boss, give me three months."
"Yes, I am very patient, and I will not interfere with your daily affairs. The policy is the same as that of a newspaper. Except for race and religion, other things should report the facts. Even if it is my negative news, don't pay too much attention to it."
Barry Diller smiled and nodded. He had a similar idea. He just didn't expect that although the boss is not Jewish, he is also very familiar with the TV station, so he is definitely not easy to fool.
"Although I want to separate production and broadcasting, I'm afraid it won't work in the short term. The Simpsons will produce cartoons and broadcast them. There are still two plans here. Arrange people to implement them as soon as possible. Don't worry, if the ratings are less than 1000 million, I will add 5000 more. million investment."
"Haha, I still hope that the ratings will be popular. With a ratings of 1000 million, no matter what, I can earn more than 5000 million."
"Okay, go get busy. There is no need to prepare an office for me here, just give me the meeting room for now."
"Boss, this is not good."
"Haha, just get used to it. I don't have an office in most companies, and the current environment is not very good. After a few years of hard life, NBC should have a building of its own."
William White left with his minions, and the whole of Hollywood fell into a slump. How did Paramount offend this man, and why both vice presidents were poached away.
Only the boss of Paramount knows best that White Pictures has no conflict with them, they are purely interested in these two guys, the list is also provided by the think tank below, and William White is very supportive.
The outside world does not know that the Jewish consortium is actually happy to see the success, and they don't want to lose the channel of publicity.
Now it seems that William White is very good. Not only are there many Jewish people in his think tank, but his media group is also the same.
From this point of view, they abide by the rules of the game very much. As long as you don't take the lead in provoking, they won't play too much.
They were indeed afraid of this Texas cowboy, and they did everything they could to explain this guy's behavior in a simple way.If you don't take the initiative to provoke, you can get along with each other more harmoniously. If you accidentally step on this person's tail, you have to be careful.
A lot of old guys started to expand the security team, which can explain the problem. If you dare to play your cards against common sense, this matter will definitely be bloody, and people will not be merciful.
In fact, the old guy has figured it out, don't care about how many loans someone has, tens of billions of assets are always an indisputable fact, if you beat this kind of person casually, you're out of your mind, right?
The plan that William White handed over to Barry Diller was very simple. One was the sitcom Happy Hotel, and the love apartment in China had obvious traces of imitation.
You will understand when you think about it, when did the Celestial Dynasty start to play, your game is still very popular after 2000, and it is basically a bully if it is used in this era.
The boss left, and lightly said that it was at least 1000 million. If it was a movie script, Barry Diller would not doubt it, nor would he dare to doubt it. There were rumors that Lucas couldn't get the script even if he bid 500 million.
Whether it is true or not, 500 million for a movie script is indeed a price recognized by Hollywood.
