Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 311 Different Camps
"Among the president's advisory team is a Jew named Ram Emmanuel, and I don't particularly like this guy."

"I don't think he's suitable to stay in the White House!"

Aaron stared at Leon Panetta. Ram Emmanuel had a younger brother named Ali Emmanuel, who was his former agent who had left CAA.
He had a business conflict with Aaron at the time, and was later beaten up by Jack Wells.

Aaron doesn’t know if Ali Emanuel will have any doubts, but with the Emanuel family thriving in the White House, it’s definitely not going to work out!
"Rahm Emmanuel, the president's deputy assistant and deputy director of liaison, is just a nobody, how could he possibly influence you?"

Leon Panetta was somewhat puzzled.

"Alright, he's just an advisor, I'll figure out a way to handle it!"

Leon Panetta, as the White House Chief of Staff, wouldn't have much difficulty dealing with a young advisor in Clinton's advisory group.

Aaron nodded. "By the way, you'd better distance yourselves from California State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown now."

"This Black politician has been involved in too many scandals: sex trafficking, bribery, interference in the judiciary, and so on. The California gubernatorial election is just around the corner, and Pete Wilson's re-election is practically a done deal."

"The investigation into Willie Brown has already begun!"

As for Willie Brown's desire to run for mayor of San Francisco, all I can say is that it's a wonderful idea.

Leon Panetta glanced at Aaron. "Actually, we don't keep in touch much."

In present-day California, Aaron and Governor Pete Wilson have cooperated extensively, while Willie Brown is a Democratic opportunist who always uses LGBT issues and racial discrimination as a pretext!
"Aaron, don't worry. You put in a lot of effort in the previous presidential election, and you'll be rewarded handsomely."

Leon Panetta was somewhat helpless; Clinton was too close to Jews, and in Hollywood, Aaron's main competitor was Jewish capital.
As a result, Washington, D.C., did not provide enough support for Aaron Anderson, who grew closer to the Republican faction of Governor Pete Wilson!

Aaron smiled. "I'm not greedy, and I'm not afraid of competition, as long as they don't break the rules of the game."

The two sides are on opposing sides, and although there is cooperation, there is also more competition.

Leon Panetta sighed. "I'll keep an eye on the recent negative news about you and Dawn in the newspapers."

"The Washington Post really shouldn't have reported these things!"

The Washington Post, as one of the top mainstream newspapers in the United States, is headed by newspaper queen Kathryn Graham;

The Bronfman family, one of America's top Jewish political families, is now making inroads into Hollywood. The Bronfman family is trying to acquire MCA Universal, and Aaron has stepped in to interfere.

Some people couldn't sit still any longer!
Aaron wasn't too worried, since Onsa Capital was still the main player, and Aaron, being a descendant of British immigrants, received a lot of support.

"Utmost means, that's their style," Aaron said with disdain. "President Clinton appointed so many Jewish officials, does it look like he's going to form a Jewish cabinet?"

Leon Panetta shrugged. "It's not that serious yet, is it?"

Aaron waved his hand. "What about his next term? Who can guarantee that?"

The Jewish influence in Hollywood was already strong, and now that the new telecommunications finance bill has been passed, allowing film studios and television stations to merge, isn't that just giving Jews another chance to control television stations?

Disney wanted to acquire NBC, but General Electric was only willing to sell a maximum of 49% of its shares. Now Disney has set its sights on CBS instead of ABC, and it's not just about the price.

Currently, CBS is the only wireless broadcasting network group controlled by Jews; the others, including FOX and CNN, are not Jewish! With Election Day approaching, Aaron returned to Los Angeles, and Pete Wilson was re-elected as Governor of California as expected.

George W. Bush was also successfully elected governor of Texas, which was unexpected by everyone.

Who is George W. Bush? Stupid, bigotry, barbaric, with almost no redeeming qualities, even his most basic speeches are a mess;
But he came from a good family, the Bush family was wealthy, and his father was a former president. With his vast political and business resources, he was able to be promoted to the governorship of Texas!

However, Aaron did not stay in Los Angeles for more than a few days before heading to Japan again to meet with Panasonic President Yoichi Morishita.

Osaka, Panasonic headquarters.

"Aaron, Panasonic does indeed want to sell the MCA Group, but we haven't completed the asset valuation for MCA yet."

"Furthermore, there is no consensus within the board regarding the sale of MCA, and Panasonic itself is an electronics manufacturing company."

"MCA's business is helpful to Panasonic's hardware manufacturing!"

Aaron took a sip of his coffee. "I know the Seagram Group also wants to acquire MCA, but Edgar Bronfman Jr. still has to convince others."

"Furthermore, Scola also needs to sell his DuPont stock to raise the funds."

"Panasonic, are you sure you want to keep waiting?"

As he spoke, Aaron looked at Yoichi Morishita, "This year, Universal only had one film that did well at the box office: the live-action adaptation of 'The Flintstones'."

"The rest of their works are basically unremarkable, with the $1.75 million 'Waterworld' being Hollywood's biggest joke."

“MCA’s performance in the record industry is mediocre, and Universal has been losing money every year except for last year. Is Panasonic trying to follow Sony’s example and continue to allocate funds from its headquarters to Universal?”

Yoichi Morishita clenched his fists tightly on his knees. "Mr. Anderson, Panasonic will be accepting quotes from various companies in January next year!"

Aaron nodded. "I know Matsushita must be feeling terrible about leaving Hollywood in such a humiliating way."

"Perhaps, after Dawn merges with MCA, Panasonic can exchange some of the shares of the new Dawn for cash, and we will pay the rest in cash."

Morishita Hiroichi's eyes lit up. "Matsushita really doesn't want to leave Hollywood completely. We are very interested in Mr. Anderson's Dawn Group!"

Aaron's expression remained unchanged. "Dawn's shares aren't so easy to acquire. Dawn will make a formal offer next January."

"If Panasonic's board continues to waste time here, I will withdraw from the acquisition of MCA."

Aaron doesn't have that much time to waste. Even if Panasonic sells MCA to Seagram, the other party doesn't have the ability to develop it.
Both are loss-making ventures; the only difference is that Dawning made the acquisition a few years later!
Now, Aaron can make Panasonic one of Dawn's shareholders, which can be considered as leaving a way out for the other party, right?
"Understood, I will persuade the board as soon as possible!"

Although Yoichi Morishita was unfamiliar with the American entertainment industry, the Hollywood Dawn Group was definitely a hot commodity.

“Mr. Anderson, I will have Panasonic's Senior Vice President, Toruzo Murase, handle the liaison with Dawn. He is currently my assistant.”

"Specializing in the sale of MCA vehicles!"
