America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 277 276. It’s over, it’s all over!

Sergey Hassenfeld's villa, New York.

Compared with the Newhouse family's luxurious manor, his villa is naturally inferior. After all, there is a big gap between the two in terms of family background and rise time.

What's more, Sergei is only a king on the surface, and the real prime minister is his uncle Alan Hassenfeld.

His power is equivalent to that of Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He must obey Boss Cao's orders in everything. He may be stronger than Liu Xie. After all, he can still make the final decision on small matters, but he is far behind Chongzhen.

The maid brought coffee and a plate of strange-looking fruit.

"Try this. It's a specialty of Brunei, a small country in the Pacific Ocean. The two of us went there for vacation some time ago. It tastes very good."

"Vacation? It seems that your relationship is still handled well. I'm worried that it will be over in a year."

Sergey smiled: "When you reach my age, you will know how to best maintain a relationship instead of letting scandals spread all over the world."

Eric waved his hand: "Come on, everyone will talk about this when they meet me. My tongue is almost numb. Where is Winslet? Is she not here?"

"Haha. You? How do you solve it?" Sergey smiled sarcastically.

"Yes, I have to know if the gambling agreement has been fulfilled. Once four times sales are reached, the maximum terms must be honored."

"what?"

"There were several men pursuing her at that time, British, American, producers, singers, actors, etc., but I won out."

"Just like YouTube and Facebook, I am responsible for planning and coordinating the company's development direction and formulating policies, while you are responsible for the specific operations and management."

"At that time, as long as you can stand up and advocate the transfer of equity, I will be able to control 21% of the equity, and the right to speak will be transferred to our hands."

Sergey nodded sternly: "Yes, he is a control freak, everyone knows it."

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

"So are you going to hang like this? I'm curious, how long can you hang? If you can hang for a lifetime, you will be my eldest brother."

"If you want to get rid of that old guy, the minimum thing you need to do is to hold more shares of the company than him, and I'm almost there."

"explain."

"But you also know the actual situation. This is very difficult. My wife will definitely file a lawsuit and want to get a large amount of money."

"Do you want to be the real controller of Hasbro? Do you want to get rid of your identity as a puppet? Do you want to truly be a man who can make decisions about his own feelings?"

"Hasbro will either pay MGM 55% of net toy profits or 4% of MGM's equity."

"Sergey, I know that your situation is very difficult, so I am here to help you solve this problem."

After a moment of pause, Eric said with a serious face: "I said I have it. As long as you are willing to help, we can drive Allen away together."

"Now I just need your help. As long as you can get the support of more than half of the directors, Allen will be dead."

"Kill! Are you kidding me? Are you crazy?" Sergey was shocked.

"No, I only act as my own agent. Don't worry about where the shares were obtained. All you need to know is that I can compete with Allen now."

scare!
Sergey was obviously stunned by this number, and it took him a while to recover.

"You can divorce if you want, and you can marry whoever you want. I will only applaud and bless you, and congratulate my friends."

"Let me ask you one more thing, how are the sales of Transformers toys now? Five months ago, the sales record was doubled from last year. What is the current figure?"

"That gambling agreement!"

"Yes, but definitely not here. I am a married person, so I have to be careful about the impact."

This time Sergey was stunned for a long time, just sitting there expressionless, with heaven and man fighting in his mind.

"Now that Hasbro is developing at a rapid pace, Alan will not allow any behavior that will adversely affect the company to occur. He is a control freak!" Eric explained the reason for him.

"But I also made a promise that I would divorce her as soon as possible, then make our relationship public and hold a luxurious wedding with her in an open and honest manner."

"It doesn't sound like it, but did you know that Allen owns 17% of Hasbro? That's a pretty big share. How much do you own?"

"You are crazy. You don't need to kill him to kill him. Just make him abdicate. I ask you a question, and you must answer it honestly."

Eric sipped the coffee gently, feeling the factors flowing in his blood.

Sergey choked for a moment: "Actually, Kate also complained about this. When the two of us chose to get together last year, of course I have to thank you for your efforts."

Sergey rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Eric, what nonsense are you talking about? If I had the ability, I would have kicked away that yellow-faced woman and asked Alan to go back to Canada to retire. But the problem is I don't."

After hearing what Eric said word by word, Sergey was a little puzzled: "Eric, are you kidding me?"

"Similarly, I will not let down your contribution. As long as you are willing to help me get rid of Allen, you will have the final say and be the real master of Hasbro from now on."

"I have!"

"I'm also 17%."

"Sergey, my good friend and brother, your destiny has come to a crossroads, and the time has come to choose!"

"Aren't you just afraid of Allen? Kill Allen and the problem will be solved!"

"This woman is second to none, and more importantly, my uncle Allen. He will not agree. I am not afraid that you will laugh at Eric. I still dare not mention this matter to him."

He asked loudly: "Where did you get the shares? Have you gained the trust of those investment institutions? Are you their agent?"

"Sergey, I came here today to show you my cards. I trust our relationship and I believe you will not betray me."

This is a big deal. She became a young model in the club, and she split herself into a young model in the sea.

Eric could just snap his ass and leave, but he had no other place to live.

Seeing his tangled look, Eric couldn't push him. He stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Think about it carefully. I'll wait for your answer, as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he was about to leave, but as soon as he opened the door to stop, Sergey suddenly stood up and grabbed him.

"Wait a minute, I need more information, sit down and let's talk."

"Any ideas?"

"Brother, you have to let me think clearly before making any decision. This is a difficult decision."

"Well, let's stay at my house tonight. Our house is quite big anyway. Let's have an in-depth communication."

"Okay, although there is still an emergency press conference waiting for me to go back and hold it."

Early the next morning, Eric flew back to Los Angeles.

He closed his eyes to rest his mind and soon fell into sleep. After talking for half the night in Bingzhuye last night, Sergey's years of repression and anger broke out, and he finally decided to have a big fight with Eric to vent his accumulated grievances.

Of course, the main thing is to review the advantages of one's own side. After summarizing, I found that it is still very big, and the possibility of success is indeed not low.

First of all, they were hiding Alan and revealing it, and Eric planned for a long time.

Secondly, since Eric has shares in his hands, the fundamentals are stable and everyone has confidence.

Then Allen became more and more eccentric after the death of his child, and almost offended everyone in the company over the years.

He has not stepped down just because he has a lot of shares, and Hasbro's performance is not bad. As long as you can lead everyone to make money, no matter how big the hatred is, you can bear it.

But resentment will only become more and more tolerated, and everyone is just holding it in and not daring to explode.

Once things turn around, Sergey is sure to convince many people to side with Eric.

Now he goes to check the accounts and check the completion of the gambling agreement. As long as the standards are met, it will be time to launch a surprise attack on Alan Hasenfeld.

Dad also came home from Mexico last night and brought good news.

Jim Giannopoulos accepted the offer and would use his power to cause trouble for Robert inside Fox.

Even if he can't be forced to withdraw from the alliance, he can still be restrained.

The price is that Eric has to provide the other party with a sum of money. Anyway, the worse Fox is beaten, the more confident Jim will be in getting a new contract next year.

The company loses, but the individual gains.

I'm just a senior wage earner. Of course, I have to think more about myself and the company first!
In the MGM office building, a press conference is being prepared.

Two days ago, MGM announced that it would provide a thorough clarification of this incident and invited all media across the country to witness it.

But obviously, the only ones willing to buy his account were the online media, and the major TV stations and newspapers did not reply.

But it was different after visiting Judy's parents yesterday. The Newhouse family still has a lot of influence.

Moreover, the media is not monolithic. There are internal power disputes. They can mobilize the resources of their own factions.

So many media who were not interested in the press conference suddenly appeared on the scene.

Major public broadcasters CBS and NBC came to Taichung, and reporters from major newspapers and magazines with influence across the country or in several states, such as The New Yorker, The New York Times, and People, also arrived one after another.

Although not all of them were present, these were enough to set off a storm of public opinion across the United States.

Eric hurried to the company after getting off the plane, and Carol reported the situation to him.

The live broadcast of Lionheart.com started simultaneously. Even though the press conference had not officially started, millions of people had already poured into the live broadcast room.

Swish swish.
As Eric took the lead to enter, white light flashed continuously.

Everyone sat down and Eric turned on the microphone: "I know what you want to know, and I also know what the national audience wants to know."

"Fortunately, after our unremitting efforts, we finally found Barle Farley, and she was willing to attend the press conference and tell everyone the truth."

In front of the TV, Howard Stringer's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed Barle Farley. As expected, it showed that it was turned off.

He swallowed with a gulp, his mind filled with questions.

No, Barle Farley should be in Japan, and she sends messages to herself every day to say she is safe. What's going on?

"Did Eric Cooper find a fake one?"

An outrageous idea came to his mind, and then he saw a real person on TV.

In an instant, as if being struck by a thunderbolt, Howard Stringer was in a state of confusion.

And he was not the only one who was confused. The reporters at the scene and the tens of millions of viewers in front of the screen were also confused, confused and extremely excited.

There will definitely be some big melons to eat today!

Barrefali took off his hat, sunglasses and mask to show that he was really himself.

Taking a deep breath, she said: "A scam, this is a scam. Everything is a huge conspiracy against Eric. What you see is all fake."

boom!
Sure enough, there was a big explosion when he opened his mouth, and the reporters' eyes lit up.

Then Barrefali told the story with slight changes. The adapted part naturally described herself as a young girl who was deceived and was inexperienced in the world.

Although I made a mistake, I am willing to return to the camp of justice and tell the truth. I hope everyone will stop scolding me for the sake of turning back the prodigal son.

"Here's the thing, it's all Harvey Weinstein's fault, he caused all of this."

"When I woke up, it was already too late. I must apologize to everyone. I'm sorry!"

Miramax and the Weinstein brothers were also paying attention to the development of the situation at this time. When they saw Barrefali directing the fire on themselves, they both secretly thought something was wrong.

Bob Weinstein looked at his brother angrily: "Is this your plan? That bitch can't be trusted!"

"It's not my fault. How did that kid find someone? Howard said it was safe. I want to call him."

"What's the use of talking about this now! People across the country are watching now, and we must come up with countermeasures quickly."

Harvey Weinstein is strong and calm: "What are you afraid of! Even if Bar Refaeli throws dirty water over me, am I going to admit it?"

"Who can tell the truth from the false? Many people will think that bitch was coerced by Eric Cooper. This matter is unclear. At best, it is just a bad debt."

Bob Weinstein sighed: "It's best if you keep your mouth shut."

As a result, before the two of them finished speaking, they saw a video playing on the TV screen. The scene in the video was all too familiar to them, especially the eye-catching red sofa. If it wasn't Harvey Weinstein's office, it couldn't be anywhere else.

"Lefali, as long as you are willing to cooperate, the heroine of "The Man with the Iron Fist" must be you."

"Russell Crowe is the leading actor, Ron Howard is the director, they're both top-notch in the industry, and it's going to be an Oscar-winning movie."

"By participating in this movie, I guarantee you that you will get at least one nomination for the Best Actress Oscar next year."

"You can completely trust my methods. The reason why Gwyneth Paltrow can win the Best Actress Award is because she has me and Miramax standing behind her."

"But will I suffer retaliation for falsely accusing Eric Cooper?"

"Revenge? Hahaha. What are you worried about? As long as it operates properly, MGM will be severely damaged. Eric Cooper will never have time to retaliate against you. He is already a mud Buddha crossing the river."

After a long conversation, the scene shifted to a scene not suitable for children, and the video was cut off.

Harvey Weinstein's face was twitching, first his hands were shaking uncontrollably, then his whole arms were shaking, and finally the fat all over his body was shaking.

It's over, it's over!
