Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2224 Run away
"Langmeyer, don't be so excited, we didn't think about driving you out of Universal Pictures, we just hope you can calm down for a while."

Sanchos began to get nervous, because the resolution made by the board of directors did not say that Longmeyer should be removed from Universal Pictures.

If Langmeyer is really forced to resign because of this incident, then the good relationship that Universal Pictures and Lin Daoqiu have established all the time may come to an end.

Although Universal Pictures should not fall apart even without Lin Daoqiu, the money earned by Universal Pictures and Lin Daoqiu's cooperation every year has reached 60.00% of Universal Pictures' annual profit.

If there is a super blockbuster, the ratio will reach an astonishing 80.00%.

Once the cooperation with Lin Daoqiu is lost, Universal Pictures will enter a recession next year, and its revenue will at least be cut in half and then in half.

So it's no wonder that when Sanchos and Fernard heard that Langmeyer was about to resign, it was not difficult to understand the horrified expressions on their faces.

"Let me reiterate that I'm not interested in working for the Neon people. It's up to you if you want to be their grandchildren. Don't get involved with me. I'm here to solemnly inform you two that I'm officially resigned from Universal Pictures from now on." Resign from the position of president."

Unexpectedly, things would turn out like this. Sanchos looked at Fernard nervously. He knew that Fernard and Langmeyer had a good relationship, so he hoped that the other party could persuade Langmeyer to take back his life.

"Langmeyer, can I have a chat with Sanchos alone, it won't be long."

Langmeyer nodded, and he left the office straight away.

After Langmeyer went out, Fernard quickly looked at Sanchos with a serious face.

"If Langmeyer really resigns, the revenue of Universal Pictures will plummet next year, which will definitely directly affect Panasonic Group's offer price for the MCA acquisition."

This point does not need to be told by Fernard to Sanchos, so it is no wonder that Langmeyer was so shocked when he said that he would resign.

"Then what to do, Panasonic insisted that we not add fuel to the fire. If there is no way to get Langmeyer to agree, then the acquisition may not go ahead."

Sanchos, who was in a dilemma, looked at Fernard, and he couldn't come up with any good solutions now.

After thinking about it, the only way now is to stabilize Langmeyer first, at least let him stop shooting outside, but will he listen?
Although neither Fernard nor Sanchos could discuss a suitable solution, they decided to have another chat with Langmeyer.

"Where is the person? He ran away?"

Just when they asked Lang Mayer to come in, the other party told them that Lang Mayer had left the company.

"It's troublesome now."

Sanchos already had an annoyed expression on his face.

If they had known that this was the case, they would never have come to Langmeyer to talk about this. At least their attitude at the beginning would be very kind, and they would never be too blunt.

But it is too late to say these things now, I am afraid that it will not be an easy task for Langmeyer to get him back after leaving.

"You really quit? From Universal? You're such a nut."

After Langmeyer left Universal Pictures, he asked Lin Daoqiu out for coffee immediately.

"No way, they want me to shut up and suspend me. If this is the case, I have no reason to stay in Universal Pictures."

Langmeyer shrugged, and he didn't seem to feel any sadness about leaving.

It's just that after staying in Universal Pictures for so many years, it is obviously impossible to say that Langmeyer has no affection for Universal Pictures.

It can be said that the performance of Universal Pictures in his hands has been booming in the past few years, and it is about to surpass Paramount to become the largest film company in Hollywood.

But now everything has been ruined, which makes Langmeyer feel a little embarrassed.

"Without Universal Pictures as a partner, I'm afraid the days ahead will be sad."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu didn't need to cut off the cooperation with Universal Pictures at all. He could just pretend that nothing happened and continue to cooperate with the other party.

But once Universal Pictures changed its president, it was obvious that it would no longer be able to cooperate seamlessly with him as before, so Lin Daoqiu naturally wanted to cancel the cooperation with Universal Pictures.

This is not only for Lang Mayer to vent his anger, but also a helpless move, because Lin Daoqiu doesn't trust other people in Universal Pictures at all.

"Actually, you don't need to stop your cooperation with Universal Pictures. Although I'm gone, I believe they will still rely heavily on your cooperation. After all, the alliance of the four companies still exists."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head directly, obviously he didn't take these into consideration.

"I have already decided on this matter. If Fox and Warner don't plan to continue this alliance, they will go their separate ways at most. But I believe that Alan Ryder and Ashley Jr. are not such stupid people."

It is obviously impossible for them to make a lot of money without cooperating with themselves, and it is even possible to lose money.

So Lin Daoqiu is not worried that Alan Ryder Jr. and Ashley will leave this alliance after seeing that they are disconnected from Universal. It can only be said that these two people are too stupid.

"Well, since you've decided like this, I have nothing to say. I haven't taken a vacation for a long time. I plan to take my family out to have fun in the first half of the year. After half a year, I'm thinking about work."

"If there is anything that needs my help, just ask, we will definitely have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, I believe."

With Langmeyer's contacts in Hollywood and his ability, Lin Daoqiu did not believe that there would be no company that wanted to invite him.

Universal's loss of Longmeyer is definitely their loss, which is obviously beyond doubt in Lin Daoqiu's view.

As Lin Daoqiu guessed, Langmeyer's resignation set off a storm on the board of MAC.

"Can anyone tell me what happened and why Langmeyer resigned?"

Wasserman looked at Sanchos and Fernard seriously.

At the board meeting a few days ago, everyone passed a resolution to let Longmeyer take a temporary leave for a period of time, but they never thought about kicking Longmeyer out of Universal Pictures.

Fernard turned his head to Sanchos, because he messed up the matter, so how to explain it to Wasserman is his problem.

"Langmeyer's reaction was too violent. He said that he was unwilling to work under the Neon people. At that time, our request to let him take a temporary leave was misunderstood by him as a way to fire him. I regret that."

Naturally, Sanchos will not take all the blame, at least Fernard, who went with him, will also bear part of the blame.

"This matter has nothing to do with me at all. You were responsible for communicating with Langmeyer throughout the whole process, and you were the one who angered him in the end."

"Don't you have no responsibility at all? Don't try to put all the responsibility on yourself on me. It's impossible."

Fernard was naturally unwilling to take the blame, so he and Sanchos quarreled directly in front of everyone.
