Chapter 933 Phantom Crisis (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Before the common people in China had a correct understanding of the power of the media, the media in North America had already taught their fellow domestic media a good lesson!
What kind of news is the most eye-catching?
The party has enough fame!

The company involved has enough reputation!
The content of the news is explosive enough!
The headlines of the news are eye-catching and confusing!
If this is still a scandal, then this piece of news will immediately attract the attention of all the media, and it will also arouse heated discussions among the whole people, and this piece of news is enough to attract people's attention!

For example, Ke Xton's zipper door incident!
For Ke Xton, this is an unprecedented public relations crisis, but for the global media, it is definitely a carnival!

And the news that broke out in North America recently, although not a scandal, is enough to attract everyone's attention!
In fact, in the past few months, there have been such rumors one after another, but at that time these rumors were just speculation without any evidence, so they were not widely spread.

But when someone brought out the evidence one by one, the news finally became a hot topic in North America, and even spread to Europe.

At the same time, this piece of news gave everyone a new understanding of Wu Jianye and Phantom Media!

The news that Wu Jianye was the behind-the-scenes boss of Phantom Media finally came out!
This is no longer speculative news.

The news is described in sufficient detail.

The first is how Wu Jianye met Linda, the president of Phantom Media, and Johnson, the general manager of Oceanwide Cinemas.
The rumor described in detail how Linda and Johnson went to China for a trip together, and how Wu Jianye cheated them of money with a chamber pot.

Then there was Wu Jianye's reunion with Linda in Shanghai.

Through the listing of the novel "Jurassic Park", how to accumulate initial funds, and then Wu Jianye shorted North American listed companies to accumulate funds again.

Subsequently, Wu Jianye and Linda cooperated to establish Phantom Pictures, and started filming their first movie "Home Alone"!
Afterwards, every success of Phantom has the shadow of Wu Jianye.
When these news broke out, everyone could not calm down.

After all, there were such speculations before, but no one was willing to believe such rumors at the time, after all, this matter was too dreamy.

A Chinese is actually the behind-the-scenes boss of one of the world's largest media groups!

The first thought of anyone seeing this news is untrue, but when someone presents the evidence piece by piece, they can't help but not believe it!

If Phantom Media is just a group with movies as its core, this news is not too offensive to Phantom Media!
But the problem arose when Phantom Media acquired the ABC television network.

"Chinese people control North America's media throat! "

When such news headlines appeared, Phantom Media’s troubles also came. Neither the ordinary people in North America nor the North American officials could allow ABC Television Network, one of the largest public television networks, to be controlled by a Chinese. fact.

Almost when this news was reported by major news media in North America, a force of protest was launched!
There are white people, black people, and even yellow people.
For a while, Phantom Media began to be pushed to the forefront.

Everyone pushes against the wall, and business has also appeared in the film industry, the old base of Phantom Media. For example, many independent film companies have come forward to condemn Phantom Media for occupying a monopoly in the film distribution industry.

Oceanwide Cinemas, the largest movie theater chain in North America and Canada under Phantom Media, always gives priority to the films of its own group, and does not give fair treatment to other independent production companies.
It seems to be an unreasonable condemnation, but it has aroused the approval of many people.

At the same time, these independent production companies also issued statements one after another, demanding that they have fair filming requirements with Phantom Pictures in Oceanwide Cinemas, otherwise they will jointly boycott Oceanwide Cinemas and no longer hand over their films to Phantom Pictures for distribution. , Protest that it will no longer be screened in Oceanwide theaters.

During the protest, they vaguely turned the topic to racial issues.
This crisis came so suddenly, but it was inevitable!
And the reason why Wu Jianye suddenly left the promotion of "Eternal Night" in full swing in China and came to North America was to deal with this matter.

In the office of Phantom Media, the atmosphere is a bit dignified. Wu Jianye, Linda, president of Phantom Media, Johnson, general manager of Oceanwide Cinemas, Matthew Murphy, general manager of Phantom Pictures, Avi Arad, general manager of Marvel Pictures, consultants Stan Lee, ABC Network General Manager Barry Winkler, ESPN General Manager Henry Burton, HBO General Manager Stephen Howard, Lane Publishing General Manager Sean, Toy Biz General Manager Andrews, Hera Brokers General Manager Lauren Don Na, General Manager of Phantom Music Will, General Manager of Phantom Studios Owen, Phantom
The general managers of the various subsidiaries of Phantom Media, as well as the senior management of Phantom Media's headquarters, are sitting here at this time.

This is the first time they have officially met Wu Jianye in such a complete manner, and some people even met Wu Jianye for the first time. They are not unaware of the rumors during this period, but no matter how crazy the outside world is, but Those were all rumors, even if there was evidence, as long as Wu Jianye didn't show up in person, everything could change.

But when Wu Jianye personally appeared at the meeting at the group headquarters, everyone knew that the rumors were true!

The shock you see with your own eyes is always greater than the shock you hear yourself.

Of course, there are also people who knew Wu Jianye's identity from the beginning, such as Johnson and Matthew Murphy, and there are also doubts, such as Lauren Donner, who just became the general manager of Hera Brokers this year.
"Hi everyone, I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances!" Wu Jianye smiled, making it impossible to tell that at this time, Phantom Media is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment!

When this matter became more and more serious, everyone guessed the ending!

Either Wu Jianye gave up his Chinese identity and became a North American citizen. In this case, he can be considered an American, and then Wu Jianye shouted a few times in some public places: I love America!
In this case, this crisis can actually eliminate a large part, at least it will not cause official reactions in North America.

But if Wu Jianye doesn't do this, then Phantom Media will face a lawsuit from the federal government, the monopoly case will be successful, and then Phantom Media will face the end of separation!

At the same time, Phantom Media will also face a huge fine!
Although Wu Jianye has been confirmed as the behind-the-scenes boss of Phantom Media, he doesn't have much reputation in Phantom Media as a whole. Everyone's basic understanding of him is still more of a talented film director.

This also led to some people not having much sense of identity with Wu Jianye, or it could be said that subordinates were afraid of their superiors, so some people said it directly without any scruples.

"Director Wu, now that everyone knows the ins and outs of the matter, and the solution to this matter is not difficult, you just need to."

Barry Winkler, the general manager of the ABC TV network, said that Wu Jianye became an American citizen.

"Director Wu, although it is very difficult to become an American citizen, I think those conditions are not difficult for you, and now the center of gravity of the world's development is in the United States. After you become an American citizen, I believe it will definitely be good for your business. It is also very beneficial!"

After Barry Winkler finished speaking, Andrews, the general manager of Toy Biz toys, also agreed with his suggestion.

Although the others didn't speak, they seemed to agree with Barry Winkler's suggestion. After all, this was the easiest way to solve this matter.

Wu Jianye didn't answer the conversation, but just looked at everyone quietly until everyone felt that the atmosphere was not right, but they didn't know what went wrong. They never thought about the importance of asking Wu Jianye to change his nationality matter.

As for others, if you have a media group with a valuation of tens of billions of dollars under your name, let alone change yourself to American nationality, even if you give them the nationality of Equatorial Guinea, they have no objection.

"There is no need to discuss this matter, it is impossible!" Wu Jianye finally spoke!
But the first sentence Wu Jianye said made everyone feel incredible.

"What?" Barry Winkler looked at Wu Jianye in surprise: "Director Wu, haven't you considered this matter clearly? If you don't change your nationality, have you ever thought about what will happen to Phantom Media? Thank you! The group that has worked so hard to establish will face the end of disintegration!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "I have to admit that Phantom Media is able to achieve today thanks to everyone's credit, but I still say that it is impossible to change nationality!"

Barry Winkler immediately retorted: "Director Wu, I hope you can seriously consider this matter. After all, this matter is related to the future development of the entire group. Phantom Media is not only yours, but also ours!"

Wu Jianye smiled. When Linda, who was familiar with Wu Jianye, saw Wu Jianye's smile, she knew in her heart that things were going to be bad, because whenever Wu Jianye showed such a smile that was not a smile, it meant Looking at Wu Jianye, there was a lot of anger in his heart.

And Linda felt quite helpless at this moment. In fact, she knew Wu Jianye's plan, but now she still had to come out like this. Although she didn't say the purpose, Linda knew it herself.

This is nothing more than a way of balance created by Wu Jianye. With the end of the release of "Jurassic Park", Wu Jianye rarely stays in North America for a long time. That is to say, in Wu Jianye's heart, the Phantom It has developed to the present, the top management within the group and the people in each branch are all their own.

And what Wu Jianye is doing now is actually watching, who will jump out to challenge his authority after knowing that Wu Jianye is the boss behind the scenes!
Kill the chicken and the monkey!
Linda was not mistaken, Wu Jianye really wanted to scare the chickens and monkeys. Although her plan seemed perfect, in fact, as long as she got there, Linda's rights would be even greater. Linda's people, then for Wu Jianye, it is definitely a very dangerous thing.

Phantom Media is different from other companies under Wu Jianye. This is North America. To put it bluntly, Wu Jianye does not belong here. If Linda really plays tricks with Wu Jianye, it will be very difficult to deal with, so now What Wu Jianye had to do was to relieve this worry to a certain extent.

Both of them understood what the other was thinking, but there was nothing they could do.

Not only Wu Jianye needs this chicken, Linda also needs this chicken!

Because Linda didn't want Phantom Media to leave Wu Jianye, or she really made Phantom Media out of Wu Jianye's control.

Wu Jianye has already told himself with countless achievements, how powerful he is now. Others may not know Wu Jianye's other investments in the United States, but Linda knows part of it, only Wu Jianye's investment in the United States The combined value of the shares of those companies is almost the same as that of Phantom Media!
opponent?

Or a partner?

Linda made the choice easily.

The reason why Linda also needs this chicken is because Linda wants to prove to Wu Jianye that within Phantom Media, she is not covering the sky with one hand, and she doesn't want Wu Jianye to think what she wants?
Because Wu Jianye told himself his plan early in the morning, as long as he told the high-level executives of the company about these plans in advance, then they would definitely not stand up and criticize, and that was the most dangerous time.
And now Barry Winkler, who was regarded as the chicken by Wu Jianye and Linda at the same time, didn't know that he had become the knife that Wu Jianye and Linda tried to test each other, but could not hurt others.

"You said something wrong!" Wu Jianye looked at Barry Winkler and said.

Barry Winkler was taken aback for a moment, and then argued with reason: "What did I say wrong? Our suggestion is also for the sake of the group!"

"Phantom Media is mine. Only with my consent can you be considered the owner of the ABC TV network. If I don't agree, you are just one person!" Wu Jianye's voice had lost all emotion, but his face still had smiling.

Barry Winkler was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Wu Jianye to say that. At the same time, the heads of other branches also showed unhappy expressions, because what Wu Jianye said was a bit hurtful.

In fact, the truth always hurts!

What people pay attention to is mutual understanding and giving each other face, even in the United States.

But sometimes, the person who can speak the truth unscrupulously is because he has no fear in his heart, and has an absolute advantage in front of the person he is talking to.

Just like Wu Jianye now!
He has absolute authority in front of Barry Winkler.

"So, I have now decided that you will no longer be the general manager of ABC Television Network, and now you are just an ordinary person!"

"Now that I have finished speaking, who is for and who is against?"
