V3.C18

In the morning, the sun is falling in the middle of the yard. The automatic sprinkler is rotating and spraying water. The water drops are crystal clear in the sun. It is a good day this Monday. Thomas motola strained the collar in front of the mirror, examined it carefully up and down, left and right. After confirming that there was no problem, he gave orders to the servant, and then walked out of the villa with his briefcase.

A car just came in slowly. When it stopped in front of him, Sam Tanaka got out of the car and came around to open the door for motola. []

"thank you, Sam, I'm sorry to have you pick me up." Motola adjusted her clothes and sat in with a smile.

"That's what I should do. It's been my honor to work with Mr. motola for more than a month to buy MCM records." Tanaka made a modest bow.

"Me too, Sam, you've done so well. Without you, we might have spent more time and energy." Motola laughed and then signaled to drive, "let's go and enjoy the victory."

He was so complacent that he squinted at the street view which was constantly retreating out of the window, and the smile on his face could not stop overflowing. Last Friday, Eric Norton, the artistic director of MCM records, finally fell to them secretly. As a result, even if AC media can get enough funds, it will not be able to return to the sky. When the contract is signed today, they will give up MCM records completely. This is really perfect.

Motola's mood is getting better and better. After all, MJ's record copyright still comes back to him. At the same time, there is the whole MCM record. Norton said that although the two popular super girl idols adore Adrian very much, it is not impossible to bring them over. This is really great. It is probably the first time that AC media has suffered such a major setback. At the thought of seeing Adrian and Claude's ugly faces in a few minutes, Sony records CEO couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Soon, they came to the outside of the MCM record, stopped to meet with some of their own leaders, and then explained a few words. Motola then led the party into the building. Then led by the receptionist to the outside of the conference room.

Stepping into the spacious meeting room, motola was stunned. Because there were only three people sitting inside, Claude Ron Reese, Adrian Cowell, and Penelope Cruz?!

Even motola, when she saw Penelope, could not help but flash a little surprise on her face. Did they find out? But he soon relaxed, and they found out that it didn't matter. E-mail can't be used as evidence. It's better to sell Penelope to them. You can save yourself a bit.

"You're on time, Thomas." Adrian was the first to say hello, and Claude, who was sitting at the head of the table, was also smiling. Only Penelope had no expression on her face.

"Punctuality is a virtue, Mr. Adrian." Although she still felt something was wrong, motola remained polite.

"Let's get started. You know, wasting other people's time for no reason is murder." Adrian made a gesture of please. Then Claude pushed the two folders over.

"It's a very philosophical remark, Mr. Adrian." Motola once again suspected the God s è of Hu, and several people around him, including Tanaka, were like this. It was too strange that there were only three people from the other side. One of them has nothing to do with it. What are they thinking? It's not like giving up completely?

"We have already signed it. Mr. Thomas, you're the only one left Claude made a gesture of invitation.

Motola frowned, then began to look through the folder in front of her, unable to even sit down. After turning a few pages, his face began to turn. He took a look at Adrian and Claude, who kept smiling, to speed up the reading. Rao was so, he still took several minutes to finish reading, and then he closed the folder with a very angry sound.

"Are you kidding? Do you want to be satisfied with this kind of pity Motola said rudely, "if you still have a little grace, take out the real contract and sign your name, not this kind of inexplicable thing!"

"I think you must have misunderstood something, Mr. Thomas. This is the contract of today." Claude said slowly and seriously.

"Do you think I'm a kid?" Motola finally couldn't help growling, "or do you take Sony records as your own thing and think you can decide my company's affairs at will?"

"Don't move, Mr. Thomas. I'll explain." Claude knocked on the table, still with that ugly smile in motola's eyes.

"Everyone thought that we were at a loss for the whole situation. In fact, they were wrong. The response measures have already started. It's very easy to solve these problems, but they and you don't know." Claude's tone was very relaxed, "do you think that by uniting Warner, Disney, NBC, fox, and talking Viacom to watch, we can cause trouble to our acquisition? Well, I admit, it did cause a little trouble, but it was only a little bit. ""Redstone is smarter than you think, Thomas and Murdoch are more cunning than you think." Adrian put in a little bit of disdain and cynicism.

"Before we started, Lei Shidong, who smelled the wind, took the initiative to contact us." Claude made a gesture, "and then made the right decision."

It is estimated that more than 10 million people will watch a TV drama, the wind and cloud of interns, in the first season. The same is true for NBC, where more than 10 million people watch the first season. " Adrian interposed again, pointing to himself as if he were serious. "It's all I said."

"Well," said Claude, glancing at his best friend, "of course, the details will not be given."

"Let me show off that it won't be a problem, crow. It's a rare opportunity." Adrian laughed.

The muscles in motola's face twitched, staring at them, and never speaking.

"Fox is just a spectator from the beginning to the end. In the face of this situation, they will only stretch out their claws with full assurance, and then quickly take them back. If they want to use them as gunners, they have to have enough strength, so it is very simple to let them stop." Claude went on. "Then, Warner may be a little bit more troublesome. Unfortunately, they are constantly involved with AOL. They really have no energy to deal with other situations. Although they have competition with us in many places, only a little bit of benefit is enough to let them stop. "

At this point, he spread out his hand: "so. The rest is Disney. Are they really interested in universal music? Or is it just Michael Eisner's Si complaint? And there's no peace within them, Roy Disney recently declared publicly that if Michael Eisner goes his own way. He will step down from his position on the board as the only Disney family member still on the board. If there is another external force, it will be sooner or later that Eisner will fall down. So, last Friday afternoon, we officially acquired universal music, but we delayed the announcement until today. Just a few hours later. "

"So what?" Motola squeezed these words out of his teeth, but his figure never appeared on his side made him feel worse and worse, "it has nothing to do with the things to talk about today!"

"Yes, yes," said Claude with a good-natured smile. "I just wanted to say. Some things seem complicated, but they are easy to solve. At the end of the day, it's just a matter of interests. We can bring far more benefits to Sony as a whole than to a record company, even if the record company has the rights of Elvis and Beatles

"Sony Pictures has lost Spiderman, but there are other comic heroes. What's more, we are going to make a series of X-Men and invite them to participate." After a pause of two seconds, he continued, "as for the whole Sony Group, we also have a lot of things to exchange, such as..."

Claude looked at Adrian, who shrugged: "support them on the format standards of the new generation of high-definition DVDs. You know, we have tens of thousands of film libraries, and the four major film and television production companies are making good profits. At the same time, we are also a major shareholder of apple."

"Sony's main business is electronic manufacturing, and the profits of films and records are at least after the top three - do you really think I'm just on the spur of the moment to talk to MJ about record rights? We put you in the plan from the beginning! Of course, your strategy is very effective. It's surprising. But you shouldn't be stupid enough to buy off my woman, Thomas

Adrian grinned and put his arms around Penelope's shoulder: "at the beginning, Pepe told me the whole thing. Then I asked her to use our open invitation time to get letters from you. Then I used some vague information to deepen this impression. Finally, it misled you. More than a week ago, the news that we were in a complete predicament, and even Eric Norton began to waver It must be fresh in your memory, Thomas

Motola's face s è is more and more ugly, staring at Penelope, who has always been expressionless, her eyes seem to be about to burst out of fire. She clenched her hands into fists and swallowed the "

itch" that had reached her mouth with great strength.

"Of course, Eric has also helped a lot. If it hadn't been for him and you, we would have taken back all the shares and cross held them, instead of having seats on Sony's record board as we do now." Adrian continued with a smile, "as for the money, don't worry. I called my uncle and solved it. He is a responsible and decent man, and I can only move him with one word: do you want these precious heritages of American culture to be in our hands? Or to a group controlled by Japanese funds? "

By this time, several people who came along had already read the contract. As a confidant of Thomas motola, their faces were white. Sam Tanaka, in particular, planned and implemented most of the plan, and once motola signed it, he was sure to leave. However, motola did not seem reconciled, he gritted his teeth at Claude and Adrian: "I will not sign, I will bring it up to the board of Directors..."But they didn't give him a chance. Claude interrupted him directly: "well, Thomas, it's no use. You know very well that you've lost, and the people you're waiting for will never come. And the people behind you have already called Sony records to verify it. If you sign, at least you can step down with dignity. Not only will it be directly removed by the board, but all benefits will be drastically reduced. Neither we nor Sony will give you a chance. "

"It's not just our request that the board keep the news from you, you know, Thomas," Adrian said, with a smile and a tone of impoliteness. "So please sign the contract and leave here in a mellow manner."

The corners of motora's mouth trembled twice, and there was no more fury. The whole person seemed to be several years old, silent for several minutes, and finally opened the contract in front of him and took out his pen. Trembling, he signed his name on it. Then, he left his pen and turned around without saying a word. Some of them staggered out of the conference room. The rest of them looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, they walked out of the conference room in dismay. Tanaka's face is even more pale.

"You're too mean, ed After they left, Claude laughed and said, "leave here in a mellow manner? Well, I think it might be the most popular way of swearing this year

"Why be so polite to him. Crow, we won in the end. But this guy still caused us some losses. To be honest, I would like to lose this contract to him at the board of directors of Sony records Adrian said lazily.

"You have to think about Sony's face. After all, Thomas motola is their CEO and has been doing well. If we didn't have enough backhand and cards, he would have been treated as a hero." Claude shrugged, then glanced at Penelope, who was already on pins and needles by Adrian's side, then stood up and said, "well, you have something to deal with, so I won't delay you."

Seeing Claude leave the conference room, Adrian stood up and breathed. Before speaking, Penelope, next to him, had fallen to his knees with a thump, and no one in his face was shaking violently: "I'm sorry, ed! I'm sorry! I was wrong. I was bewitched by them because I was dizzy. I just I just

"You just don't think I can give you more, do you, Pepe?" Adrian didn't even look at her and went to the small table in the conference room and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Listen to me, ed! Listen to me Penelope's knees rubbed against the ground and made a dull noise. As she passed a chair, she accidentally made a big hole in the silk stockings on Tui, but she ignored it and looked at Adrian with a plea, "please forgive me, ed! Please! I don't know why I promised to come down at that time. I shouldn't have participated in these I really don't know why... "

Those once charming eyes with fear and fear, tears began to fill, the face of the God of regret s è, holding arms kneeling on the ground, head shaking.

"I understand you, Pepe. Everyone has ambition and ambition. It's normal that everyone wants to realize their own ambition and * *, which is normal," Adrian finally turned around after taking a sip of coffee and looked down at Penelope. "However, there are many ways to achieve ambition and * *, some of which are very small risks and gains are small, some risks are very high, but why are you Did you choose the stupidest one that is extremely risky and the harvest is very uncertain? "

"I know, I'm stupid, ED, please, I'm a fool, please, forgive me." Said Penelope tearfully.

"Don't do that, Pepe," Adrian sighed, putting the glass down. "Anyway, we've been very happy for most of these months."

"If If You want to... " Penelope burst into a smile.

"I've always had a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, so..." Adrian ignored, took out the check book from his arms, wrote a few strokes and then tore it off Yang Yang, "this three million is my compensation for you."

With that, he walked up to Penelope, who was kneeling on the ground, bent over and put the check down her collar, and pinched two of them on top of the pair of firming slides n è n.

Penelope, who thought he had got the hint, was overjoyed. He immediately reached out and wanted to hold Adrian's big Tui. Unexpectedly, the other side turned around and let her fly in the air.

"And then," Adrian, leaning against the long table, closed his smile, and his condescending eyes grew cold, "get back to Spain, and never let me see you in Hollywood!"

Penelope Cruz, known as the national treasure of Spain, returned to Spain quietly after several years of intermittent development in Hollywood. There were different opinions for a time. Some people thought that she was not used to the style of Hollywood, so she chose to come back. It has also been speculated that she seems to have been involved in some major incident and had to come back. Pedro almodova, the Spanish director who discovered her, held the former view.

Penelope didn't say anything himself, but announced in a low-key way that he would not go to Hollywood again. Then he took a small production in Spain and then worked with almodova again. However, it is strange that this time, she did not know why she quarreled with almodova on the set, so that she finally announced that she would withdraw from the production team. Almodova publicly announced that she had become an unreasonable splasher of Fu and vowed that she would never work with her again.But then Penelope announced that she was quitting the entertainment industry. Excited people immediately started all kinds of speculation again. A large number of reporters also wanted to interview her to know what happened. But she seemed to have predicted that she disappeared with her family a few days after the announcement, and no one ever saw Penelope again.
