Chapter 841： Refuse

Hearing Ronan's words, Harvey Weinstein asked subconsciously: "What do you want Disney's equity for?" He was surprised: "Ronan, Relativity Entertainment will not..."

Ronan raised his hand to stop Harvey Weinstein from continuing: "Relativity Entertainment did not swallow Disney's strength."

Harvey Weinstein smiled, but he didn't think so. After Netflix went public, Relativity Entertainment is fully capable of acquiring any major Hollywood film company.

"Roy Disney once told me to let me support him at Disney's shareholders meeting." Harvey Weinstein looked very embarrassed: "I promised him too."

Ronan took a sip of coffee and said, "As far as I know, the combined Disney shares in your hands and Bob have a market value of more than 40 million U.S. dollars. With such a sum of money, you can completely break away from Mira Max."

The posture of Michael Eisner and Roy Disney in a decisive battle is becoming more and more obvious. At this time, Harvey Weinstein continues to stay at Disney to cause civil unrest, which is of little use.

He put down the coffee cup and continued: "Your two brothers can create a new company, and the money will also ensure that you have enough equity in the new company."

Harvey Weinstein touched his ears: "Ronan, why don't you invest directly in my company and Bob's company."

He also wanted to borrow chickens to lay eggs.

"I have a shortcoming." Ronan said with a smile: "Don't hide it from you, I have a strong desire to control, and the companies involved must be under my control. Harvey, if you let me invest in shares, I'm not afraid Is your new company swallowed by Relativity Entertainment?"

"This..." Harvey Weinstein's heart jumped fiercely. Even if the total capital of the new company to be established in the future is several hundred million dollars, it is just a delicious cake in front of a behemoth like Relativity Entertainment.

How did this person on the other side start? Harvey Weinstein knows very well that he keeps annexing other companies.

Harvey Weinstein dealt with it against his will: "Ronan, I believe you."

Ronan just laughed, but stopped talking.

Frankly speaking, he doesn't believe that he will only be a stable shareholder when facing Weinstein Pictures.

"Consider my proposal, Harvey." Ronan added, "Since I am leaving Miramax, why bother to disturb Disney's muddy water."

Harvey-Weinstein is silent, facing the stars and actors, he is a veritable Hollywood bigwig, but facing these tens of billions of dollars of companies, he is just a small person.

Together, he and Bob are barely worth more than 100 million yuan, which determines that he is not qualified to mix in Disney's capital games.

Even if I went, it was just a spectator at best.

Harvey Weinstein fell silent, thinking about it for ten minutes before slowly speaking, "I agree."

Ronan nodded slightly and asked, "Bob over there..."

Harvey Weinstein said immediately: "I can call the shots, Bob will not object."

Ronan has roughly heard of the two brothers’ co-existence model, which is probably the way Harvey Weinstein handles things, which caused the two not only to turn back, but Bob Weinstein also stabbed Harvey Weinstein. The most terrible knife.

Decades of brotherhood, it is estimated that in daily life like this bit by bit, all are exhausted.

I have to say that in many cases, brothers are more difficult to get along with than siblings or siblings.

Ronan said: "Harvey, after your new company is established, if necessary, Embassy Pictures can undertake overseas distribution."

With Harvey Weinstein's shrewdness, Miramax's distribution department will definitely be packaged away, and the North American distribution of the new company of the Weinstein Brothers in the future is not a problem.

However, without Disney's Bowei International, overseas distribution would not be so easy.

Harvey Weinstein knows his own strengths and weaknesses, and said: "At that time, I also hope that Relativity Entertainment can help."

Ronan smiled: "No problem."

But Harvey Weinstein's words are not over yet: "Ronan, I have one more condition."

"What conditions?" Ronan frowned slightly.

"Have two British screenwriters and producers approached you to promote film projects?" Harvey Weinstein knew that this was the only opportunity for Ronan to quit: "About Diana's ex-husband after Diana's car accident in 1997 A family’s response and other topics."

Ronan remembered what the producer named Andy Harris had said, and said, "There is such a thing, the script is in my hands. Harvey, did they ask you to sell it?"

Harvey Weinstein said: "Just when I left the hotel, screenwriter Pete Morgan and producer Andy Harris also went to the hotel to find me."

Ronan is not stupid and immediately understood what he meant: "Harvey, it seems you are very interested in this project."

"It's a bit of interest." Harvey Weinstein knew that he couldn't hide it, and said: "The topic of Diana has always been very interesting. Vanity Fair and Tina Brown have made much of Diana's deadly wealth over the years. I guess you have heard of it."

Ronan said: "Tina Brown has advantages that others don't have. She is a best friend of Diana that has been publicly stated more than once during her lifetime."

Harvey Weinstein laughed: "I have been in Hollywood for many years and I am used to seeing the friendship of female celebrities. For them, the most terrifying existence in the world is actually a girlfriend."

Ronan couldn't help but think of Lewinsky. The secret between Zipperton and Lewinsky was the default, but Lewinsky shared the incident with his girlfriends more than once.

It is said that after the first time, my best friend has thoughts, specially prepared recording equipment, secretly recorded Lewinsky from the second time, and then sold it...

Then evolved the zipper door spread all over the world.

Fire prevention, theft prevention and girlfriends, this kind of thing is really not to talk about.

Especially among celebrities, plastic flower sisterhood is too common.

Harvey-Weinstein added: "Ronan, the new company is established and there is an urgent need for a film project. Can you..."

The latter words stay in the mouth, but the meaning is clear.

Ronan was hesitant, after all, William provided a lot of help in acquiring Manchester United.

If it weren't for William, Ronan would have asked Andy Harris to talk about the script project cooperation in the first place.

This also prompted Ronan to make up his mind: "Well, Harvey, for our cooperation, I will give in."

Harvey Weinstein breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "We are collaborators, never competitors."

"Yes, we should work together." How could Ronan let Harvey Weinstein pass this way: "Embassy Pictures will be responsible for all overseas distribution of this film in the future."

Harvey Weinstein stood up and shook hands with Ronan: "No problem."

After the establishment of the new film company, with the accumulated capital over the years, North American distribution is not difficult, but overseas distribution is still quite difficult within a few years.

In the past, the overseas distribution of Miramax films always let Bowei International do it.

Since it wants to leave Disney, Harvey Weinstein will certainly not cooperate with Disney's Broadway International.

As for the promise to Roy Disney, it is a verbal promise, which is not a problem at all.

And Ronan obviously intends to get involved in Disney, Roy Disney probably doesn't have the time and energy to care about this little thing with him.

Ronan and Harvey Weinstein negotiated the general direction, and the employees of the latter two parties will negotiate more specific matters in Los Angeles.

After leaving Harvey Weinstein separately, Ronan first called Connie who was in Los Angeles and asked her to coordinate.

Then, he notified Robert Iger so that he was also prepared.

Back at the hotel he was staying in, Ronan just entered the hotel lobby when he saw Andy Harris greet him.

"Good noon, Mr. Anderson." Andy Harris greeted him and asked, "What's wrong with the script?"

He said: "Harvey Weinstein of Miramax has expressed a strong intention to cooperate, but I did not agree. I still want to cooperate with the top Hollywood companies."

Ronan shook his head: "Mr. Harris, I can only say sorry, you guys have cooperated with Miramax and Harvey Weinstein."

He smiled politely: "Goodbye."

Andy Harris was taken aback for a moment, which was completely different from the plan, and quickly wanted to keep up with Ronan: "Mr. Anderson..."

Vinci suddenly appeared in front of him: "Mr. Harris, please stay."

Seeing the secrets of several people suddenly appearing around, Andy Harris could only stop and watch Ronan turn into the elevator room for the presidential suite.

Was rejected like this? Andy Harris shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Vinci seemed to have been notified and said, "Mr. Harris, please wait a moment."

Andy Harris' heart couldn't help but violently provoke a few times. Is this going back?

Vinci did not stop saying: "Please wait two minutes, Mr. Anderson has sent someone to return the script."

Andy Harris' last hope was shattered, and he waited to get the script and left the hotel.

Although a little frustrated and disappointed , but not too anxious, after all, there is Harvey Weinstein who can sell.

It’s not easy to just want to sell at a high price.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Mansour and Abu Dhabi consortium held a press conference in Manchester and officially announced the acquisition of the Manchester City Club.

First Roman Abramovich, then Ronan, and now another Arab tycoon with a family mine.

The Premier League has truly begun a golden dollar era!

Ronan accepted Mansour’s invitation and went to the celebration reception convened by the Abu Dhabi consortium in the name of the Manchester City Club that night.

Beginning this winter, Manchester City will wave a petrol check and set off a buy-buy-buy model in professional football.

Ronan left the UK on the second day of the reception.

But instead of returning to Los Angeles, he came to Berlin, Germany, to meet Tony Koch.
