Chapter 428 DreamWorks Super Consortium!? Chapter 429 DreamWorks New Year's Meeting(1/2)
The Citizen News has always taken a different route from other newspapers, and this is the case.
This issue of their newspapers is more about making clothing than doing awards ceremony.
On the front page headline, there is a huge color photo, which is a group photo of me, my dad, mom, second brother, and Lenny. The color printing makes the clothes on the photo particularly conspicuous.
Above this picture, there is a set of super-coarse titles: "The First Harvey Awards Ceremony: A visual feast!"
The commentary article read: "The first Harvey Awards have attracted the attention of the people across the country. Although the awards are very attractive, the latter is more ornamental than the decorations of the guests. This night, all the celebrities who attended the award ceremony presented us with a grand visual feast."
Then in the following chapter, exquisite star photos broke into the readers' eyes.
There are many styles of clothing, which bring together the most popular fashion elements at present. The photos are equipped with captions. Although there are not many, they play the finishing touch.
Such a newspaper is definitely very popular. Clothing is a favorite among women, so when they read the newspaper, they will pay special attention to the clothes styles of the stars above. If you carefully study it, you can learn about their own dressing experience in the future. As for men, such newspapers are also their favorite. Of course, they are not interested in clothes styles, but the beautiful female stars above are definitely pleasing to the eye.
In the report, The Citizens praised the Corleone family's clothing very much, and wrote: "It is certain that everyone who attended the award ceremony last night was carefully dressed up, but no one could compare to the Corleone family's clothing! They did not wear suits and tie, but appeared in an extremely gorgeous and complicated family clothing. This family clothing conquered all the audience with its magnificent form and the deep historical heritage condensed in it."
"The Corleon family has become the nobles among Hollywood filmmakers, the true spiritual aristocrats, not just material. We have become accustomed to the barons with various labels, and the viscount has swayed at various rituals, but compared with the Corleon family, they seem so superficial. Perhaps it is this spirit that has made the Corleon family brilliant."
"Citizens" used two full pages to analyze the meaning of various badges and patterns in the Corleon family's clothing. First, he compared the three men, my father and second brother, and then compared the clothes of men and women. He came to many conclusions that looked very interesting.
Then, the Citizen Daily suddenly changed its writing style and discussed a photo of Zhang Lao Mom and Lenny and others in a large way.
"This is a very interesting picture. In addition to Mr. Corleon's current and his sister-in-law, we are already familiar with the other five women. Miss Garbo, the top star in DreamWorks, is also a first-class woman in Hollywood. Holgina, Mr. Corleon's personal bodyguard, Lenny Marskolov, the only daughter of MGM film boss Marskolov, Jean Natalia Belmondo, and the DuPont consortium boss Jean DuPont Belmondo's daughter Heidi Lemer, and the only daughter of Lemer, the owner of Universal Film Company. The identities of these people are extremely potential. But now, their identities have reached a high degree of unity, that is: people from the Corleon family!"
"The unified Corleon family's women's clothing makes everything extremely intriguing. Although the United States is a monogamous country, this picture always gives us a Mormon illusion. Let's boldly assume, what kind of result will be produced if the five women in the photo become Andre Corleon's wife?!"
"There will be many children named Corleon. Some people may answer this way. Objectively speaking, he answered nothing wrong at all, but what if he thinks more deeply? Miss Lenny, Miss Heidi and Miss Natalia do not only represent them themselves. The MGM, Universal and DuPont consortium on them are too heavy. If they become Andre Corleon's wives, it means that one day, DreamWorks, MGM, Universal and even DuPont consortium will be very likely to be integrated! This means the birth of a super consortium! We cannot imagine what kind of situation Hollywood will be like at that time. At least, that is very exciting!"
"How come Limore, who is raised by this bitch, is so good at digging deeper things! I think it's really aggrieved to let him be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. He should have asked him to go to Africa to explore diamonds. With this guy's ability, he must have returned with a full load!" I was amused by these comments.
He said that super consortium, not to mention that they don’t feel imaginary, I dare not even imagine it, because I never thought about it.
How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!
"Boss, have you read the Citizens' Newspaper? Haha, this guy Limore is really good at writing!" Gans walked into the room with big strides and saw that I was looking down at the newspaper and said with a smile.
I pointed to the newspaper and said, "I'm reading it. I don't know what kind of head he has."
Gans smiled and whispered: "Boss, do you think this super-large consortium written by Limore can be established?"
"Get out! Do you believe such nonsense?!" I gave Gans a blank look.
Gans shrugged and said, "Why don't you believe it! I think Limore's saying makes sense."
"Do you think what Limore said makes sense?" I put down the spoon in my hand and stared at Gans tightly.
Gans nodded vigorously: "That's natural! I guess only you read it and think it's nonsense. In the eyes of others, this is simply a matter of consistency. Think about it, Sister Lenny, Sister Heidi, and Sister Natalia and you don't know, and they are all the only daughters of Marskolov and Lemur. Sister Natalia, although they are not the only daughter, they also have the inheritance rights of the huge DuPont family. If they are together, my God, I really can't imagine it!"
Looking at Gans's slutty look, I almost choked to death by the porridge in my mouth.
"You kid, just have your dream of being a beautiful woman! I don't expect this!" I put down the Citizens' Newspaper and continued to read other newspapers.
Then Gans came to me and whispered to me: "Boss, I think this issue of Limore's newspaper may help us a lot."
Busy?" Looking at Gans' mysterious appearance, I casually thoughtfully
Gans smiled mysteriously at the corner of his mouth, and then said, "Boss, you think, even I believe in this statement, let alone others. What would you think if the bitchess from the Rockefeller Consortium saw these reports?!"
Gans's dialect made me shocked. Yes. Why didn't I think of this?
"Speak." I said in a deep voice.
—
Gans sat on my table and said, "After you greeted me at the Hollywood awards ceremony. Now in Hollywood, major film companies have basically reached an agreement on financing from foreign consortiums, that is, they will definitely resist collectively, which is enough for the Rockefeller consortium to have a headache. The thing they fear most is that major film companies in Hollywood are tied together. Now if they read such reports and learn that DreamWorks has such a deep background and that even DuPont consortium is involved, what would they think? Naturally, they have to reconsider their plan of advancement. I think at least their pace will slow down, which is a great thing for us."
Gans spoke with saliva flying. I nodded while protecting my bowl.
What this guy said makes sense.
"Yes. As you say, Limore did a good thing for us. But Gans. This newspaper is like a double-edged sword, and it also caused us some trouble." I said, knocking on the newspaper in my hand.
"What's the trouble?" Gans couldn't figure it out.
I sighed and said, "Yes, in terms of invasion of foreign consortiums, major film companies in Hollywood have now reached an oral alliance, but you should see that this alliance is very loose and fragile. The reason why major film companies in Hollywood can eliminate all kinds of troubles between each other is to protect their own film companies. However, Limore's writing will leave others with such an impression that DreamWorks may become a giant Hollywood crocodile in the future, and a giant crocodile larger than MGM. Facing such a giant crocodile, what will the bosses of other film companies think?"
Gans was stunned by my words and murmured: "Is it possible that they boycott DreamWorks?"
"This is a natural thing. Not to mention them, even if I were me, I would do everything possible to prevent this crocodile from growing up! Now Hollywood is in a critical period, and unity among major film companies is the most important. This report has destroyed this atmosphere of unity to a certain extent." I finished drinking the porridge in the bowl and burped.
"Also, Hollywood has a bad impression of foreign consortiums now, but Limore, a guy with Natalia and me, has linked DreamWorks with DuPont Consortium. Think about it, at the Hollywood Awards Ceremony, I just said that I would fight against foreign consortiums. Now, if the audience sees that DreamWorks and DuPont Consortium have an inexplicable relationship, what would they think? What would the bosses of major film companies think?"
I glanced at Gans and continued, "Of course, Limore has a good relationship with us. He wrote these things to create gimmicks to increase their circulation, not intentionally oppose us, but this report has indeed had a negative impact on us. Gans, you are responsible for this aspect of publicity and media. I hope you will think more deeply when you encounter specific things in the future."
Gans's face turned green and nodded vigorously, and stood up and said, "Boss, then I'll go find Limore now and tell him not to report like this."
I smiled and shook my head and said, "It's not that they don't want them to do it, but that they do it in another way, telling them not to report on the relationship between DreamWorks and DuPont consortium, and focus on reporting that DreamWorks and other film companies are condensed into a rope, that's all."
"I understand!" Gans patted his butt and ran out.
After being mixed up by Gans, I was no longer interested in carefully opening several other newspapers, and glanced at the remaining newspapers briefly.
The other newspapers have similar content to the Los Angeles Times, and have judged the winning of the first Harvey Award. In terms of specific awards, these newspapers have their own opinions, believing that those who receive the award are worthy of their reputation, and those who receive the award are not worthy of it. Sometimes the views between newspapers are completely opposite, and the content is so lively.
Although these newspapers have been making a fuss about the results of the first Harvey Awards, they reached a consensus on one thing, which is: DreamWorks Film Company won 8 trophys, less.
These newspapers all believe that the judges' decision on the awards is a bit egalitarian, and they want to make everyone satisfied with the first award ceremony. These media have made violent criticisms of this approach. I think how helpless it would be if Grant and his jury members saw these accusations.
After reading the newspaper, I didn’t know if it was a meal for breakfast or lunch, so I stood up and moved my body.
"What are your plans today?" Holkina turned around and asked me while tidying up the tableware.
"Plan? Let's digest these foods first." I pointed to my stomach.
The two of them were talking in the office. They heard the stairs coming and thought for a while, and then they saw Jack Livermore rushing in.
This guy was sweating and panting. He was so angry that he could not breathe, and he knew something was wrong at first glance.
"Livermore, what happened to make you run like this? Sit down and say slowly." I pointed to the sofa.
Livermore sat down with a thump and looked at me. The muscles on his face were trembling.
"Boss, good things! Great things!" Livermore smiled.
"What's the good thing?" Looking at his excited expression, I immediately straightened my body: "Is it because we succeeded in the stock market?"
Livermore is not like Gans and others. He has a lot of things to do, so he is only responsible for stock trading, so he said there are good things. It must be something we have gained in the stock market.
Livermore nodded vigorously. Then he took Holkina and gave him a cup of tea. He took a sip and said, "Boss. Rockefeller Consortium's stock has been rising for this period of time, and it has been soaring in the past or two days. We invested $3,000, and now it has become more than 70 million!"
"More than 70 million!? OK!" I patted hard: I walked up.
Everyone says that stock trading makes money quickly, and it turns out that's true.
:L
We also rushed in when we started the company, Yassel, Stiller, Stendbor and others. When we learned that the stocks had risen sharply, these guys were all very happy.
"Livermore, you are there! We worked hard to make movies for our DreamWorks, but in the end we didn't get a quarter of yours." Stiller said as he patted Livermore's shoulder.
Livermore was very embarrassed by everyone's praise and said, "I'm just a practical operation. If it weren't for the news from the boss, we wouldn't have earned so much."
"Boss, since the stock market is very good now, I think we should invest another big money in it! That would be a big profit!" Stenberg laughed.
Stiller, Dunar and others also nodded and screamed.
I turned my face and looked at Livermore. I was not very familiar with the stock market and could only listen to Livermore's opinions.
But Livermore went to give everyone a very unexpected answer.
"Boss, we can't vote anymore at this time! We must withdraw!" Livermore looked at me with a firm look.
His words were like a basin of cold water, shattering the enthusiasm of everyone in the office.
"Retreat!? Why withdraw!? Now there is such a good terrain, why withdraw!?" Stenborg said with his eyes wide open.
"Didn't it mean that the stocks soared? Why should they withdraw?!" Stiller and others didn't understand the reason.
I didn't understand either, so everyone in the room focused their attention on Livermore.
"Boss, I said it's a reason to withdraw." Livermore looked at me with a firm look: "Boss, the stocks of the Rockefeller Consortium have been rising for a while, and the increase is not counted. During this period, they have absorbed a large amount of funds. Therefore, the surge in the past or two days is very abnormal."
"What do you mean is that the surge in the past two days is their own hands and feet?" I understood a little.
Livermore nodded and said, "Yes! I think so. The Rockefeller Consortium's stock appreciation due to various business mobilizations last period, but this appreciation is limited. Now, it should have reached a limit. So the situation of a surge is likely that they want to absorb a large amount of retail investors' funds and then suddenly plummet to make profits from it. Therefore, if we add funds at this time, we may fall into their trap and end up losing all our money."
"What should we do?" I asked in a low voice.
Livermore smiled slightly and showed a proud smile: "Boss, I have a way to use the trick and make a big profit from the Rockefeller Consortium!"
Looking at Livermore's swearing expression, everyone in the office became excited. The current small-scale fight has made $40 million, and how much would it be?!
"What's the way?" I looked at Livermore and smiled.
Livermore squeezed his eyes and said concisely: "Sell short."
"You mean to be Rockefeller's short seller?!" I asked in a low voice.
Livermore nodded with a smile, then dipped in tea to draw a curve on the table.
"Boss. Look, the Rockefeller Consortium stock has reached its peak now. We only need to change hands a few times to double the funds in our hands." Livermore pointed to the peak of the curve and said.
"Speak carefully." Stendburg and others seemed to understand something.
To be continued...
