Chicago 1990

On the afternoon of September 6, 2000, major media issued a newsletter in Montreal, Canada:

'Vivendi Global sells Seagram Wines for $8.5 billion. A consortium consisting of Bacardi, Tricolor Wines and several private equity funds defeats Pernod Ricard, Diageo Alliance, Anheuser-Busch Budweiser Competitors such as the group become the ultimate winner. ’

'Vivendi Global CEO Messier praised the transaction. He told reporters that after the divestiture of the wine business, Vivendi Global Group will be able to focus more on the main strategic directions such as media and entertainment, and sell the Seagram wine industry as Vivevan. While bringing abundant cash income, Di Global will also improve the company's financial level well, paving the way for meeting the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange before the end of the year. ’

'The investment banks and asset management companies that provided financial restructuring and debt reduction services for Vivendi Global’s listing in the country expressed optimism about this transaction. The chairman of Goldman Sachs Paulson, who visited the signing site in person, turned Messier to turn the tide and defeated the Tiger Fund. The comparison of Vivendi Global’s troublesome operations in June is like this: A good captain saved the lives of everyone on the ship; his perfect response this time can be written into the MBA textbooks of major business schools. ’

'Sam Bronfman and his father, one of the original owners of Seagram Wines, will follow this transaction to leave Vivendi Global Group and become important shareholders of Bacardi Wines. Sam Bronfman will subsequently be Appointed as Vice Chairman of Bacardi Wines' Board of Directors. He denied speculation that Bacardi would form a new group company with Tricolor Wines. At the same time, he revealed that before bidding for Sigram Wines, Bacardi had already worked with all parties on how to divide Sigrams. The industry has reached a consensus and follow-up actions will strictly follow the plan...'

'As an important player in this shocking merger and acquisition that completely changed the global spirits market, Sanse Wine is only a newly established French wine industry upstart. The only products that have been well-known to Americans have appeared in the Oscar Vanity Fair. The'three-color vodka' in the dinner...The expansion of the three-color wine industry this year is extremely aggressive. Before participating in the bid for the Sigram wine industry, they have just completed a share swap and merger with the same young A+ wine industry. Swallow the elephant successfully. ’

‘A+ Liquor was previously founded and owned by APLUS. Its Grey Goose vodka is priced more affordable than Tricolor Vodka. Grey Goose Vodka appeared on the cover of APLUS’s second album for the first time. Although the A+ wine industry has been lost, there are also rumors that APLUS has turned gorgeously into the actual controller of the new three-color wine industry...’

"Little Edgar and I are year-end friends. I watched him grow up. Whether Geffen Films or DreamWorks, we have been close partners with Universal Pictures for many years. I am honored to be able to help Brown this time. Busy of the Fuman family..."

In the picture, David Geffen, who just walked out of the signing scene, answered the reporter with a smile: "Geffen Private Equity? No, this private equity fund is not entirely mine... Yes, my Hollywood friends, including Sri Lanka Director Pierberg, Harvey Weinstein and others are all involved... Haha, it’s not that much. You can wait for the press conference of Tricolor Wines for the specific transaction amount! I’m not inconvenience to disclose too much for the time being."

"Hehe, this old Gay!"

Song Ya laughed and complained after reading this interview.

After all, he did not dare to go to Montreal, the home of the Bronfman family in person, so he could only watch TV and other news at his Beverly Hills home in Los Angeles. The glory of visiting the house and peeing here had to be given to David Geffen. David, have you seen the little Bronfman? Why didn't I see him at the signing ceremony?" He immediately called David Geffen.

"Yes, he is the nominal chairman and CEO of Seagram Universal Group, after all, he didn't do much when signing."

David Geffen replied cheerfully, "You really should come and meet him." When he said this, he couldn't help but think of the little Bronfman who appeared in his eyes before. His small appearance and mental state...It was so bleak. , The usual healthy and perfect bronze complexion has faded and grown pale without the sun for a long time, a lot of weight loss, a lack of energy, coupled with the accumulation of beards that don’t seem to be well managed, it looks completely different from when I was in France in June The two of them, and they were obviously closely guarded and imprisoned by several bodyguards who were inseparable from each other.

The big boss of Universal, who used to be arrogant in the past, quietly signed the documents he signed in the small room today, and was led out by the old Bronfman with low eyebrows and drooping eyes. "Little Edgar?" David Gefen tried to say hello. He glanced back timidly when he heard the words. There was no arrogance and arrogance before, and no hatred. There was even a hint of flattery and help in his eyes, as the bodyguard pushed him. , He didn't dare to leave anything, and continued to disappear into everyone's sight like a prisoner.

Recalling this, David Geffen was upset.

"What?" Song Ya asked.

"He seems to be in a bad situation. Hehe... uh, cough cough." David Geffen tried his best to hold back his laugh. "I guess you can hardly imagine him. He is a bit like the iron face starring Xiao Lizi now. people."

"Wow! Tsk tsk..."

Song Ya smacked his lips and enjoyed the scene for a while according to David Geffin's description, "It seems I should go?"

"Didn't I tell you, you should come haha!"

"Hahaha!"

The two tycoons who had completed their revenge burst out laughing happily.

The laughter spread to the outside corridor, and Jennifer Connery in a low-cut evening dress followed the sound and found the door. Just saw the man's tall figure from the crack in the door, and the door and the silencer were gently closed from the outside.

"Hi, Mutter." Jennifer Connelly greeted the silencer with a smile.

The silencer grinned at her, then continued to loyally shut the door.

I really shouldn't have come. Jennifer Connery knew that this burly man was APLUS's intimate body and soul. His ignorant attitude towards himself... Does it mean that APLUS no longer wants to contact him? After all, the people around him should know APLUS's real thinking very well.

Jennifer Connelly pretends to pass by to cover up his embarrassment, and at the same time, he is crazy to make up for the dog-blood palace drama of trying to figure out what he wants, and then looking at himself. After all, the world's top 40 richest people are almost equal to the king in the capital society. Now, Black Pharaoh...

She was very upset at the warning that the Black Pharaoh’s six relatives did not recognize and turned their faces, and planned to go their own way in the future, but after reading the latest August issue of Fujibi Magazine several times, she was itchy and reluctant, as more and more. Rumors such as'APLUS suddenly started and fulfilled its bet with global boss Jr. Bronfman in France, which shrank Vivendi Global, which has a market value of 100 billion, by half' began to spread in Hollywood. Her psychology became more and more like being caught by a cat's paw. It's like scratching...

So... I was looking for an opportunity to accept Xue Linfen's party invitation, and dressed up carefully, she clearly knew which aspect of herself the Black Pharaoh liked.

People came to the door humbly, but disappeared? Really!

She remembered the scene of Pharaoh Black visiting the Martell winery with Halle and Christina Ricci earlier in France. She was so angry after seeing the news, Halle let it go, and Christina Ricci was very angry. Obviously the same style as myself...

She knew too much about scumbags and couldn't let Christina Ricci go.

Thinking of this, she looked down at her proud chest. Although she was confident that she had beaten Christina Ricci in this respect, the ‘newcomer’ was a decade younger than herself! She also has a rare childish look in a white girl...

Damn it! Is it true that when the dark pharaoh harem also engages in niche competition like actresses are robbing resources in Hollywood! ?

He was very frustrated with the self-satisfaction and jealousy that he involuntarily raised, and he fell...

Christina Ricci's **** bitch, it seems that the secret that she was going to shrink her **** was confided to that scumbag myself!

and many more! This kind of thing is obviously the man's fault. Why should women blame the woman?

and many more! He didn't seem to be in contact with Christina Ricci anymore? So I still have a chance...

Etc., etc! What the **** am I thinking again! ?

At the end of the brain supplement, she felt extremely ashamed of her series of psychological activities, holding her feverish face to speed up, just want to escape.

"Hayden, is APLUS there? I want to see him..."

Hearing the voice of Charis Theron on the way, the South African diamond was dangling around Hayden's arms to act like a baby. "My sweet November shoot with Keanu is over."

Ok? She stopped immediately, then asked the waiter for a glass of wine, while pretending to be with the acquaintances at the party, she wandered to the back of the two and straightened her ears.

"Don't worry, the boss will arrange it." Hayden was roaring with laughter, and the fat on his chin flicked: "You know his character and won't treat you badly... uh, yours. ."

"So, do I have to reserve a schedule? I have been waiting for a long time... Hayden!" Charis continued to ask for the letter, "Mr. Hayden!"

"Let me ask, Yeremov! Yeremov!" Hayden was entangled, and called Yeremov, who was openly chatting with the young and beautiful Hawaiian hostess in the distance.

"What's the matter?" Yeremov asked.

"Charlith's play, your side..." Hayden hesitated.

"Oh, fifty shades of gray, the project is almost ready."

Yeremov sent away the female companion who was looking at Charisy from the food ground, and then touched a few strands of hair on the top of his head and recalled: "It's a romantic movie, with some sadomasochistic plots? Uh, in short, there are a lot of exposure scenes. , Charis, would you like to act? This is what we have set for you for the time being."

"There are many exposure scenes? How many?" Charisi was a little unhappy when she heard this, and continued to confirm with a face that was embarrassing.

"Uh... here, here?"

Yeremov made several demonstrations on his body with his hands.

"WTF?!"

Charis rolled her eyes and scolded vulgar words, then switched to a suppressed scream and complained: "That's almost up to the level of San Fernando Valley!"

"Puff..."

Jennifer Connelly overheard this, and one couldn't help laughing.

Charisy looked around, and when she saw her, she took away her anger. Anyway, the shameful scenes of the two have also gone through together, "Is it hopeful to win the prize?" She simply went on to Yelemo without evasiveness. Husband asked.

"No, that movie can't win a prize." Yeremov shook his head.

"OMG! Then I won't act!" It is said that every movie after entering the industry basically has exposed scenes, but according to Yeremov's description, the Fifty Shades of Gray project still exceeds Charis's psychological bottom line, she angrily refuses. Then the corners of his eyes began to gleam, and that man was really bad to him...

Jennifer Connelly knew that Yeremov and Hayden had seen him too, and they didn’t say anything, so he walked over freely and said, “If you don’t want to take it, let’s not worry about your chances in Hollywood? Don’t worry about it. A drama is sad and not worth it." He put his arms around the diamond and comforted him, playing the role of a confidant big sister.

"Marissa Colan had a reindeer game at the beginning of the year... Soon the angry diving general will start drawing." Charis complained.

Jennifer Connelly knew that Marissa Colan played Harvey’s cider house law last year, and then Harvey’s reindeer game. Although the box office failed, her acting skills were finally affirmed. The situation in Hollywood opened up, and she started filming. .

"For the time being, only this is Charis." Yeremov persuaded embarrassedly: "Fifty shades of gray is a good opportunity. Although there are many exposure scenes, it is Xiao Lizi who played with you. He did this time. The sacrifice is also great, and acting as a couple on-screen with him is good for your future career, isn’t it?"

"I don't care who the scene is..." Charis hadn't reacted yet.

"What?" Jennifer Connelly opened her mouth wide, and lost her voice again in surprise, and then began to frantically fill her head again.

Acting as a couple on-screen with Xiao Lizi, both have large-scale exposure scenes...the prizes are no show, but the box office will definitely not be less. How come such a good project has never heard that scumbag talk about it before? ! Humph!

Hey! After all, I am much older than Charis...

I'm too old...

Newcomer for old...

Replaced by Christina Ricci...

Feelings such as jealousy, self-pity and self-satisfaction climbed into her heart again.

"Little...little plum? Leo?" Charisi finally reacted, and realized that this was a good opportunity. Her attitude turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, "He wants? He's not with you..." She wondered The ground refers to Yeremov.

"We didn’t have a good relationship with him, but this time we didn’t take advantage of the fire like the girl next door did, and make a full pay, so he agreed..."

Yeremov shrugged and pretended to be forced, "Do you think he was the one who just finished the Titanic? After the beach pounced, those who could afford him did not want to use him, and the crew who could not afford the film did not want to drop him. Xian starred in... the boss and I don't want to care about his previous nonsense, there is nothing he doesn't like."

"He once again provoke the boss in public in France, and the boss is willing to give him a great opportunity to apologize." Hayden also said: "Just take this play, Charis, the opportunity is rare."

"Hmm!" Charisy nodded happily.

Watching the three of them chat about the details privately, Jennifer Connelly drank the wine in one cup, still feeling not enough, no matter how angry, he ran to the bar and drank alone.

'In the latest news, Bacardi Wines announced the details of asset disposal after the acquisition of Sigram Wines. Sigram Wines was divided into two parts, its global distribution network and sub-brands Martell, Chivas, and a large number of related assets. It will belong to the tri-color wine industry and many consortia, which jointly invested 4.25 billion dollars, and Bacardi will be allocated to all other remaining assets. ’

There was a small TV in the bar, and the financial host of Channel A broadcasted at a very fast speed: "In addition to the Geffen private equity owned by Hollywood celebrities, the list of allies of the three-color wine industry also includes a number of private equity funds such as deep sea private equity, A+ copyright and asset management company and APLUS individual, according to the calculations of experts on this station, if the A+ wine industry is combined with the shareholding of the three-color wine industry, the 39th richest man in the world will use this indirectly to complete the transaction Martell and Chivas, two very long-established spirits brands are firmly in control!"

Some male guests nearby gradually came over and lay their bodies on the counter table and listened intently. They would notice the heavy nature of the news. Most of them were executives in Hollywood or men such as producers. The big beauties close at hand didn't even give a glance.

"LUS really did it... This is the ultimate humiliation to the Universal Bronfman family!"

"Why didn't the little Bronfman show up? Such a big deal!"

"Hehe, does he still have a face to appear?"

"Martell!? Chivas!? After that, we are giving money to Mr. APLUS for drinking, aren't we?"

"There is also three-color vodka, every time after the Oscar Vanity Fair dinner has this vodka..."

"Oh my God! It's unbelievable! If I were Mr. Bronfman...I wouldn't sell these liquor licenses to anyone I would sell to APLUS!"

"Does he have a choice? APLUS saved him! Without the 8.5 billion cash, he might have to go bankrupt with Vivendi Global Group!"

"That's humiliating enough, why would he be embarrassed to appear in Hollywood in the future..."

"Hehe, what's the embarrassment, Mr. Bronfman's net worth of at least one billion has been saved..."

The men were repressed and excited to talk to each other. Jennifer Connelly stopped the cup to his mouth. The wine was not intoxicating. The more she listened, the more ups and downs her heart became, and the eyes of the man on the TV screen became more and more blurred.

"Good front reporter."

The host held the ear back and listened for a few seconds, "Yes, it is firmly in control! The former president of A+ Liquor will serve as the chairman of the board of directors after the reorganization of the new company, and the two founders of Sanse Liquor will serve as CEOs respectively. With the executive vice chairman and general manager of the original Chivas company..."

"Jenny?"

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind, Jennifer Connelly immediately turned around excitedly, and when he saw the opponent, he would cry aggrievedly on the spot, it was him!

"Hello, hello, thank you, thank you... No, don't believe the news too much, it's all gossips circulating at the moment."

The tall, handsome young man first dealt with his eyes in a personable manner, and huffed his compliments, inquiries and handshake from all the guests who surrounded him. "The silencer said you are looking for me?" Finally, he asked for a chance.

"Just passing by."

She suddenly became proud again, "Are you having fun in France APLUS... sir?"

The sour tone attracted the attention of people around him.

Damn it! It's actually a gaffe in the public, maybe it's because of drinking too much.

"It's okay." The man looked calm, and the gentleman raised his elbow.

She held it in her arms and walked slowly, obediently, under the gaze of the countless eyes of the men and women on the scene...

She doesn't know where to go, but the end should be the bedroom.

"I read the news. You and Christina went to a French winery to play? What did you talk about?"

"It's nothing, just... I also talked to her about shrinking breasts."

"Hehe, you can imagine."

"I said you told me, and then I persuaded her. There is no need to go for surgery."

"You! Shameless! Big mouth... hungry ghost in the color!"

"It seems that you have a great opinion on me. Last time... I'm sorry, I had a bad tone at the time. Because the things David and I were talking about were confidential...Of course, it doesn't matter anymore."

"You were conspiring, right? Hollywood rumors say that you have been preparing for revenge for a long time, but no one ever mentioned that Mr. Geffen was involved."

"Ha! You heard it! Jenny, you really have to change this habit."

"I won't tell anyone."

"That's not okay, I don't care. David is much more nervous than me, and he needs to keep secrets more than me... Sometimes, in order to keep secrets, some people may be able to do something. This is very dangerous. Kidding."

"Well, thank you, I will."

"Ok."

"correct."

The two left the banquet hall, crossed the security line of the bodyguards, and reached the corridor leading to the interior of the mansion. After leaving the sight of the guests, they only faced each other alone. Jennifer Connelly remembered the niche and stopped. Cheng Gang remembered, "I didn't see Christina just now...Is she here too?"

"No, I have nothing to do with her Jenny, I don't have to lie to you." Song Ya coaxed her, but she was honest, "She looks a little... weird."

"Someone in Hollywood said that she is a bit like an alien~www.readwn.com~Yes, that big forehead haha!" Song Ya smiled carelessly.

"Puff......" Jennifer Connelly's disappointment in her heart was also amused.

"Ah ah ah!" Then drink cheeks flushed Mira happy screaming all the way, and excitedly running to catch up with the two men, "Honey! It is now our yet!?" She casually waved Asked the brandy bottle.

it?

Oh, Mira should be pointing at Martell in her hand...

"We? Uh, uh..." Song Ya was stunned, and Mira had already plunged into her arms, her red lips and alcohol scented like a chicken pecking at rice.

Forget it, enjoy hugging left and right first, and give the other side of the vacant face to the big cream cake.

Jennifer Connelly hesitated for half a second, then pursed his lips obediently and printed them all together.
