After the fight at Stanford, Adrian and Claude finally cleared up the estrangement caused by the listing of the group. Sometimes it is easier for men to communicate with each other with their fists. Then, everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but it was only two days before the illusion was broken.

It all started with a video, a video that I don't know who uploaded to youtube, with the title of live action miracle director fighting. Although the picture is not very clear, it looks like it was shot with a mobile phone, but it can be basically identified. The man who is waving his fist with a middle-aged man is the famous Hollywood super director and the new "Iron Man" Adrian Cowell.

It's not long since the movie boom started, and Adrian has always been a well-known figure. You can imagine how much attention a video with such a title will attract - after a few hours, the click through rate will exceed one million.

"We can clearly identify that the two people fighting in the video are Adrian Cowell, chairman of the board of directors of AC media, and Claude roanlis, President and CEO of AC media. This is obviously an unusual fight. If we think of the rumor about the listing of AC media before, but it soon became financing in the primary market, we can completely infer that AC media has been listed in the market There are signs of division between the two founders of the media. " Fox News Channel of News Corporation took the lead in reporting the incident on the TV station and played their usual "attitude" style.

Although they are worried about Adrian and Claude's identity, they do not make too many distortions. But a word "fight" is enough to explain a lot of problems. With the title of "two senior executives of AC media punching each other", it is very simple to guide people's thinking.

After that, the major media began to reprint, Adrian and Claude have a huge crack, also with this video fast walk open. Although for ordinary people, it's just a super gossip. It's so funny that the seemingly omnipotent super director, who has always been famous, would fight with his cronies. But for investors. This is a serious problem. How can they invest in such a group if their opinions are not unified or even have huge differences within the group?

Moreover, soon, some reporters took pictures of Adrian and Claude respectively. Although both of them were covered up, some traces could be seen under the high-definition lens specially prepared by the reporters. And soon someone found the original author of the video. A cleaner in Stanford said he didn't mean to see it. However, he was also a fan of Adrian. He just went to see iron man, so he recognized him at a glance, so he took his mobile phone to take this shot.

This proves that this is neither hype nor conspiracy, so it further increases the credibility of their internal strife, although Adrian and Claude respectively said through their spokesmen that there was nothing between them, just a fight over a small matter, which is something everyone would do.

"Has no one ever had a fight with his brother?" Adrian also wrote this on his Facebook page. Also posted a few photos of the party that night.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Some commentators in financial magazines began to publish articles questioning the internal situation of AC media. Wall Street became more and more hesitant, and the financing action that was not so smooth was even more difficult.

To make matters worse, it was suddenly revealed that according to an AC internal employee who had resigned, Adrian and Claude had a heated argument about whether the group was listed. "The voice is so loud that even at the door, you can listen to the other party's words and make full use of it.

"From quarrel to fight, who can tell me what will happen next?" One commentator said on television.

Although AC media denied it for the first time. He also claimed that he would reserve the right to state the laws against the employee, but rumors of internal discord were rampant for a time. In particular, some reporters said that the two founders have only nodded to say hello to each other since they met so far, and there was no usual intimacy.

Although Adrian and Claude quickly appeared in front of the media through a fund-raising party, Adrian repeatedly said that he and Claude had no contradiction at the premiere of "I am a legend" starring Will Smith and Gao Yuanyuan as a supporting role. However, it was always interpreted by the outside world as a cover up, so there were various adverse rumors about AC media But it continues to ferment in the media.

Fortunately, they are not listed companies, otherwise the stock curve will certainly make some investors with bad heart not accept it, but even so, the group's business in this area has also been quite affected. After almost a month of delay, the word "refuse" came from Wall Street to shelve financing activities. The voice of questioning AC media became louder, and finally someone jumped out.

"It's a major setback, but it won't affect our development, of course, until then, someone has to be held responsible," an executive director of AC media's board said in an interview after independence day.

In fact, a few days later, he joined up with some of the board members and asked the group to hold a board meeting and hold the matter accountable."This is the common fault of the fast expanding emerging groups. If the rising momentum is maintained all the time, even if there are contradictions, shareholders can choose to ignore it, but once there are major problems, the cracks between them will expand rapidly." During this one to two months, AC media has attracted much attention. Naturally, such news cannot be concealed. Therefore, some commentators commented with guns and sticks.

"I don't care how other media comment, I never think too much, I want someone to make a reasonable explanation for this matter!" One of AC media's executive directors, Bruce Kahn, who had previously spoken of accountability and called the board of directors together, said in a sonorous voice at the bottom of the long table in the conference room, glancing at Claude at the top left.

He is a middle-aged man in his forties. They always dress appropriately, are relatively conservative, and are very concerned about financial budget and investment plan.

"Of course, Bruce, but The meeting hasn't started yet. " Robert Fleming, a fellow executive director, coughed awkwardly and then glanced at the empty seat above him.

As the chairman of the board of directors, knowing clearly that the board of directors is aimed at his own diehard party, he has yet to appear. What does the representative mean.

Sure enough, after the sponsor's voice. Some people can't help it: "what's the matter? We can decide the topic of today's issue one step ahead."

"Yes, it's not contradictory, is it?" Someone followed.

There is no doubt that Mr Strauss Kahn has won over a number of directors, otherwise he would not have called for a board meeting at this time.

"There is no contradiction at all. I just want to know why Mr. Ron Reese, as president and CEO, has serious communication problems with Mr. chairman." In taking the opportunity of small talk to start the conversation, and won many people to agree. Strauss Kahn immediately began to make further difficulties and looked at Claude without blinking.

"There can be no more communication problems between people." Said Claude, not knowing his voice.

"You have been in good communication with Mr. President until now. This is the first; your poor communication has led to serious consequences, which is the second. " Mr Strauss Kahn appeared aggressive. "In any case, it's an irrefutable fact. In addition, I have heard that Mr. President, you have never heard of listing before. I think it is necessary for you to explain this. "

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the conference room, and all kinds of whispers came and went. Even the former directors, who were still sitting still, couldn't help looking at Claude. One of them frowned and asked, "is Bruce really saying it, Claude?"

Although it is clear to all of you that because of Adrian's decentralization, Claude can bypass him to do anything he wants to do, but if he doesn't say a word, he will be informed when the matter is approaching. That's the rhythm of tearing faces. Have they really gone their separate ways? Some of the directors looked at the empty seats, and their eyes were suspicious.

"Adrian and I do have a conflict in this area, but we have reached an understanding after a heated discussion and calm down," Claude still had no expression. "We all agreed to raise money in the primary market."

But this evasive answer was not satisfactory, so Mr. Strauss Kahn immediately said, "but you can't explain why it's clear that the plan has been done, and Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan have agreed, but in the end, they suddenly changed from listing to secondary market financing. Well, even if Mr. President has reached an understanding with you, what happens next? If Stanford was an accident, how did our media cope when everyone questioned us? Chaos, confusion, inconsistencies, and dilemma make it impossible to fight against the dirty water poured on us, eventually leading to the failure of financing. "

He did not hide the sarcasm of his tone, and did not give any face. He made it clear that he was aiming at Claude.

"What happened at Stanford was an accident. In that case, it was unwise for its media to make a large-scale defense. We can only fight back in a roundabout way, and then we can do it again after a little calming down." Claude had no expression.

What he said is reasonable, but in the eyes of other directors at this time, he is no different from Gu zuozhou in his buck passing responsibilities.

"As Mr President's best friend, you shouldn't let Stanford happen at all!" Mr. Strauss Kahn said sharply.

"Bruce, it's not Mr. Ron Reese's responsibility." Fleming seemed to be trying to persuade, but it put the last word to him.

"I'm sorry, it's his responsibility!" Mr. Strauss Kahn raised his hands. "If this is not the case, I don't think Mr. Ron Reese, who was born as president and CEO, has any responsibility."

"Therefore, in view of the loss suffered by the company, I propose to remove Mr. Ron Reese from office," he said in a loud voice

Several of the allies that Kahn had already wooed joined in, while the remaining neutral directors looked hesitant, especially when they saw the empty seat at the top. I don't know why Claude didn't recognize his life? Or are there cards left?

"Well, we are now..." Kahn looked at Claude triumphantly. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a voice came from the door of the conference room: "I'm sorry I'm late. I took Miss Brooklyn daikel to the studio on the way, and chatted in the car for a few more minutes. I hope it's not too late."It seems that you don't have to worry about anything if you can speak with such a relaxed tone. Naturally, it is Adrian Cowell, the chairman of AC media and the famous Hollywood playboy. The smile on his face. The so-called chatting in the car is just a pretext. As long as a woman gets on his car, it is equivalent to getting into his bed.

"What else are you talking about, crow?" After sitting down in his position, Adrian asked his partner with a smile, which made some people's hearts sink.

"About - how to remove me." Claude shrugged.

"Dismiss you? Why? " Adrian looked strange.

"We think Mr. Ron Reese has to take responsibility for it." Mr. Strauss Kahn said first that although he was very serious, he looked a little uneasy.

"You mean being photographed fighting and then failing to finance?" Adrian asked.

"Yes. And we believe, sir. You didn't know about it at first. " Kahn took a deep breath.

"Yes, I didn't know it at first," Adrian nodded. "But it's my fault. I just skimmed through the plan he sent me and didn't take it seriously. Of course, we argued about it, but in the end, we each stepped back. Decided to raise funds in the primary market. But some small pimples were not solved, and then because I recalled some contradictions when I attended the Stanford reception, I simply had a fight. I didn't expect that a cleaner would eventually lead to financing failure Well, Crowe does have some responsibility, but so do I

Several people turned pale after this sentence came out. In particular, Bruce Kahn and his board of directors. Adrian's words are tantamount to supporting Claude, so it is impossible to remove Claude. We should know that Adrian is not only the person with the most shares in the board of directors. It is also a major shareholder of the entire AC media. As long as he and Claude unite, any kind of resolution can be passed.

However, the reason why Kahn decided to dismiss Claude was because of the discord between him and Adrian. During this period of time, as it was rumored outside, since the dispute over the listing, the two people seldom met, even when they met, they were very indifferent, so Kahn had other thoughts. In his opinion, if there is a huge gap between the two people, as long as they firmly stand on Adrian's side, it is likely to replace Claude.

The ambitious ambition, coupled with the hint of the chairman's seat during the meeting, finally let Strauss Kahn gamble. What I didn't expect is that, looking at the situation today, these two people are basically acting in order to let some people jump out on their own.

"Is there anything else?" Adrian then asked.

Several directors, you see me and I see you, can't help shaking their heads and being put together in this way. Even if there is an issue, they dare not put forward it. God knows what their plans are.

"Well, then I have a proposal." Adrian's smile became delicate at this time. Several directors, including Mr. Strauss Kahn, couldn't help but feel nervous. Was it so fast?!

"I propose that Robert Fleming's executive director be disqualified and removed from the board." Who knows from Adrian's mouth to say is this kind of words.

There was silence for a few seconds in the conference room, and then there was a commotion. How could Kahn, who had thought he was going to expel Claude, turn to Fleming, who had spoken for Claude before.

"This Why is that? " Fleming looked shocked.

"Are you wrong, Adrian?" One of the directors immediately asked, his face a little worried

"yes, what's the reason to expel Robert Another director followed in a hurry and asked, such unreasonable expulsion of directors and executive directors would only cause people to be in danger.

"Is there enough reason to sell the group's classified information to Rupert Murdoch?" Adrian, who kept smiling, said in a gentle tone, and then called. Soon an assistant came in from the door and put the prepared folder in front of the directors.

All of them, including Bruce Kahn, looked at Fleming, who turned pale, and quickly opened the folder. Adrian's voice echoed with their actions: "on April 23, you and Murdoch met at the Rafael club. On the third day, the acquisition originally intended to win failed and was renewed half a month later Wen group took it away; on May 13, you called Murdoch, and a week later, fox paid a lot of money to buy my favorite "mad men of advertising"; on June 19, you had a few words with Murdoch at the charity party of Four Seasons Hotel, and then an employee left his job and wrote about the quarrel between me and Claude. "

He looked at Fleming, who was already pale, with a smile. "Do you want me to continue with the example, Robert?"

And then he thought of something and said, "Oh, yes, I'll add one more, instigating Bruce to hold a board meeting and making a fuss against Claude."

Kahn immediately glared at Fleming, and then showed a look of fear to Adrian. He did not think that Fleming's unintentional but firm confidence words were using him as a gunner, not to mention that Adrian and Claude were very clear about this, and were not able to sweat for a while."I just put some pictures in the papers, and information about your cousin's job at News Corp. I don't want to bring out the recording or video, and I don't want to know how much Murdoch has given you. I just want to say," Adrian folded his smile and pointed to the big door of the conference room. "Now, get out of here."

Then Fleming stood up and staggered out, accompanied by the murmurs of the directors.

"All right, guys," Adrian clapped again after Fleming left. "I'm sure you're not interested in talking about anything else at the moment, so let's just wrap up. But before a new executive director is elected, I'd like Bruce to take charge of Robert's job - is that ok?"

The last sentence is towards Kahn, the latter can not help but stupefied, did not expect to have such a thing.

"Anyway, you're thinking about the company." Adrian smiles.
