America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 266 265. Harassment, alienation, division, disintegration, multi-faceted attack

Beverly Hills, Cooper's House.

After Eric finished telling the information about the five women, his mother took notes and analyzed their characteristics one by one.

After her guidance, Eric felt like he suddenly understood.

69𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘹.𝘯𝘦𝘵】

That sentence makes sense. Only women understand women best, just as only men truly understand men.

As a psychologist or a sociologist, if you want to understand a group, you must first become the other person.

Seeing the serious look on his mother's face, Eric imagined the feeling of the Queen Mother frightening all the concubines and managing the harem.

He thought he knew a few women very well, but compared with his mother's analysis, he found that he was thinking more from the perspective of the powerful and the superior.

From a woman's perspective, many things are obviously not that simple. Their emotions are more delicate and complex, not as simple as Eric thought.

Dad kept smiling at Eric with a complex expression, which contained too many emotions.

If Joshua found out, he would definitely ask, how did you conquer a pair of twins?

"Eric, none of them have taken the initiative to contact you so far. That's because they are waiting for you to take the initiative to admit your mistake."

"I know you will definitely be worried and scared. That's because you really have feelings for them, not just playthings that you can throw away at any time."

"So remember one thing, they didn't bother you immediately because they were worried and scared. You are on the same level, understand?"

Eric nodded: "That makes sense."

"Well, then what you have to do now is to comfort and coax, call each of them, and remember that the Olsen sisters also need to be called separately. Although they are twins, they are two girls."

"I think Ashley and Mary should know about my relationship with Gadot. I often take Elizabeth and Gadot out to play. Elizabeth is their little sister."

"Son, knowing it yourself and taking the initiative to explain it are two different things. This represents your attitude. Be serious, do you understand?"

"Okay mom, as long as I can handle them, I will listen to you in everything."

"Well, let's make an appointment for them to come to our house for dinner. With Charlie and me here, no one dares to be presumptuous. I will help you deal with them then."

"Are you sure?" Eric looked at his mother expectantly.

"Just do your best. The girl you provoke is much more difficult than Joshua. And remember, I don't want to hear any gossip about you in the future."

"Of course, I promise not!" Eric agreed without even thinking.

As for other women, after having the first time, do they still care about the second time?

As long as the bottom line is breached, people will only continue to lower their bottom line.

So what about my mother’s harsh words?

As the most beloved son, Eric is favored and confident because she will only stand by his side no matter what.

Dad said: "Okay, that's it for women. Now let's analyze how MGM can break the situation."

"Forget it about press conferences. The mainstream media belong to them. Holding a press conference is equivalent to humiliating yourself."

"I will be interviewed by YouTube and Yahoo in the afternoon to clarify this matter. The crew of "The Walking Dead" will also participate."

"The production team has collected evidence of Barrefali's absence from work, and the company has also contacted the Screen Actors Guild and Barrefali's agent."

"Other celebrities I know well are saying hello, and they all know what to say."

“Will the union be on our side?”

"The union does not take sides, just like the statement issued, but it is willing to tell the truth on the matter. The three major brokerage companies also have this attitude."

Dad nodded: "It's finally good news, but Barlefali will definitely deny it, so things will still fall into Rashomon."

"As long as that woman doesn't come forward and tell the truth, or doesn't get conclusive evidence, the impact will continue."

"Yes, that's why I have a headache. Liu Da must have hidden her in a very secret place. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find her."

After a moment of silence, Dad sighed: "Eric, since those old guys abandon the bottom line, then we can't be too disciplined."

"Reciprocal counterattack? In fact, I have the same idea. We can't let the Sixth Group stand on the dry shore and watch. We must pull them into the water."

“It’s easy to fish in troubled waters.”

"Yes, it's easy to fish in muddy waters!"

"Any ideas?"

Eric's eyes turned cold: "As for the black information I have so far, the first one is Harvey Weinstein. Dad, you must have heard about him."

Dad also sneered: "This guy Harvey is a typical representative of using public power for private purposes. Everyone in the circle doesn't know about his bad things."

"I'm afraid that there are not 500 but 300 actresses who were sexually assaulted by him under the pretext of auditioning for roles."

"What! So many!" Mom exclaimed.

"I just said that Eric should not be allowed to enter Hollywood. He should go to study finance. At least it is not so dirty and messy there."

"Come on Emily, the financial world isn't that clean. Besides, not everyone is as bad as Harvey Weinstein. Most people still maintain their basic demeanor."

"Just like your son, right? He's dating five girlfriends at the same time. If it's exposed, it will open the eyes of the world."

"Well, mom, at least I haven't sexually assaulted anyone. At most, it's a moral issue. Harvey Weinstein is a legal issue. I'm on entertainment news, but he's on legal and social news."

"Humph, if you don't restrain yourself, you will become like this scum sooner or later. I don't want to visit you in prison again in your old age."

Eric laughed a few times: "I have sent people to find those victims, and also hired private investigators. I hope to get something interesting as soon as possible."

"Once the Harvey Weinstein incident comes out, it will definitely be enough to divert public attention, and Miramax will not be immune."

"As a subsidiary of Disney, messing up Miramax is equivalent to cutting off an arm of Disney, and Mickey Mouse will also have a headache."

"The second breaking point I have is about myspace. You all know that Facebook and myspace are competitors."

"As a pursuer, MySpace has adopted the means of suppressing pornographic elements in order to catch up with Facebook."

"This method has indeed allowed myspace to accumulate a lot of popularity in a short period of time, but the cost is also obvious."

"It's been almost a year, and this so-called social networking site has completely degenerated into a porn site. Regardless of men or women, as long as they are high-traffic bloggers, they are almost completely naked."

"Not only is pornographic information rampant, but it has also resulted in a large number of sexual crimes, including many against minors. It has become a breeding ground for perversion."

"Facebook has been collecting evidence and information in this regard in order to deal a fatal blow to the other party at the critical moment."

"They are slandering me and Gadot as minor sex offenders. I want to see what myspace has to say."

Dad was a little worried: "I remember your Facebook, it also involves peripheral information."

"Yes, it is a drift bottle function, but it can only be used as an embellishment. It can be permanently stopped at any time, but can myspace be stopped? Stopping it means collapse."

"I cut off a finger, but I can exchange my opponent's life for it. It's worth it!"

"After the collapse of MySpace, there will no longer be any social media that can compete with Facebook in the entire market."

"And the British market has opened up, and Canada and Mexico are almost done. Not only in the United States, but across the world, Facebook is unrivaled!"

"And after destroying MySpace, it is equivalent to destroying Fox's tongue. The six major generals will lose their only network base."

"Have you figured out what to do?"

"Well, I've roughly got the idea. If they want to do the same thing, I'll do the opposite. Just wait and see!"

After Eric finished speaking his thoughts, he looked at his father: "I have roughly formulated these two strategies. Dad, what do you think?"

Dad smiled happily: "I was originally worried that you would fall into a disadvantage, but now it seems very good. Fighting with these old bastards means abandoning your own bottom line."

"But how can a two-pronged attack be enough? To make them lose their position, we need to put more effort into it."

"It just so happens that I still have some information resources in hand, and I can find some trouble with those old guys."

"The strongest among the six major companies is Disney. The sniper attack on MGM was led by Disney. Son, let me ask you, what is Disney's biggest weakness?"

"Weakness?"

"That's its revenue point. Is it the movie? Is it the copyright?"

"Playground!" Eric suddenly realized.

"Yes, they are those amusement parks that Disney is proud of. To put it bluntly, movies are about growing influence and creating IP, but the profits they create can only account for less than 30% of Disney's revenue, while amusement parks can account for 40% above."

"Just imagine, if there is a problem at the Disneyland, will Michael Ainas still be in the mood to go against us? I'm afraid he will be very worried."

"Dad, where are you going to start?" Eric asked with interest.

"Of course it's safety. The biggest fear in amusement parks is safety, not to mention that Disney always claims to be 100% safe."

"Xia Li, you can't act recklessly. Safety issues are not trivial. People may die!" Mom grabbed Dad's hand and said nervously.

Dad kissed her: "Don't worry, dear, I have retired, and the fighting and killing matters have left me."

"But there are still many people in government departments who are willing to sell me to save face. As long as we check carefully, there is no absolutely compliant place in the world."

"It doesn't need to be too big. Let it be shut down for three to five months. The loss will be enough for Eners to feel pain. We will see how he explains it to the board of directors."

"In addition to causing trouble for them from the outside, you can also attack from the inside. Among the six major companies, the management of one company is the most special."

"Disney, Paramount, Universal, Warner and Sony all have one president, but Fox implements a "dual president" system."

“Its board of directors is co-chaired by two co-chairmen, Thomas Rothman and Jim Giannopoulos.”

“Both men have their own supporter bases, and currently Thomas Rodman is dominating, while Jim Giannopoulos’ filming has been suppressed.”

"Thomas Rodman was responsible for this decision to participate in the suppression of MGM, and Jim's right to speak was not fully considered."

"This year is 2004, and the contracts they signed with the company are about to expire. Next year will be a time for a reshuffle."

"Now both of them want to win the support of the top management of News Corporation to truly gain unique power next year, but Thomas Rodman obviously has the upper hand."

"Eric, if you were Jim Giannopoulos, facing the possibility of being kicked out, would you be anxious?"

Eric nodded: "I would definitely worry."

"Yes, Jim is in this state of mind now. I can contact him secretly and test his attitude."

"If he doesn't refuse my invitation, it will be possible to disrupt the internal affairs of Fox."

"And Paramount, Paramount's weaknesses are also clear. Brad Grey obviously has no ability to manage the company well. Paramount is getting worse and worse in his hands. If this situation continues, it won't be long before he packs up and leaves."

"And And I found out that the reason why he agreed to join the sniper was because Disney promised to lend Paramount a sum of money for emergency and help Brad Grey overcome difficulties. "

"So Brad is actually the most wavering among the six major companies. In other words, Paramount can actually be used as a target for wooing."

"Even if it is the worst plan, as long as we are willing to provide some benefits, he is likely to choose to withdraw from the alliance."

"At that time, whether he follows MGM or sits on the sidelines, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the six major companies."

"It can also let those people in the market see that we are not vulnerable, and there is still a battle to fight."

The mouth is a little dry, and the father drank a sip of water: "Son, the business world is like a battlefield. Harassment, alienation, division, and disintegration, as long as you use it well, you can always find the enemy's weaknesses."

It is true that an old man in the family is like a treasure. After listening to his father's analysis, Eric was thoughtful.

"Dad, how did you know these confidential information?"

"Young man, I have told you a long time ago that although work is important, you should not ignore those parties."

"Well, since you retired, I have indeed attended fewer parties. I will pay attention in the future."

"Well, then follow these few ways. It seems that my old bones need to be moved again."

Dad stretched and stood up, picked up his phone and walked to the balcony.

Eric also returned to his room, opened the address book, and chose Nicole's phone to call.

With his mother's support, his hands were much more stable.

"Nico, my baby! I'm sorry, there is something I must confess to you."

"Theron, my baby! I'm sorry, there is something I must confess to you."

"Ashley, my baby! I'm sorry, there is something I must confess to you."

"Mary, my baby! I'm sorry, there is something I must confess to you."

"Gadot, my baby! I'm sorry, there is something I must confess to you."
