MTL - Once Upon a Time In Hollywood-Chapter 404 If you fall behind, you will be beaten!
Chapter 404 If you fall behind, you will be beaten!
In Kate's smiling eyes, Roland also found the answer he wanted.
As a guy who has seen dirty things since she was a child, she has long been familiar with the rampant behavior of rich people.
The so-called soundness of law and morality is just that the capital that has completed primitive accumulation wants to block the upward path of later generations. These capitals use shackles one after another to restrict the development of others. The piles get incredibly tall, but actually? Everything is bullshit!
Let’s take development and environmental protection as an example. When the industrial revolution appeared, who would talk about environmental protection?
If Greta Thunberg were to face those capitalists, she would not even be eligible to be fed to the dogs!
After the completion of the Industrial Revolution, ghosts and monsters from all walks of life flocked to protect the environment, which became their mantra, and the era of development that others missed became the most hypocritical regret in their mouths.
What do they really think?
Don't want to see others rise.
It's that simple!
And this kind of attack on the moral high ground can not only gain countless approvals, but also win over all contemporary allies!
In this way, whoever believes will be really stupid.
Similarly, the reason why people ridicule that the most profitable businesses are written in the criminal law is not because those businesses are really profitable, but to remind you not to miss the era of making money, and what is the era of making money?
This thing has actually been talked down by Ma Jinfu.
When a new industry emerges, it is the most profitable era without supervision!
So the essence of success is actually the same...
Rob!
It doesn’t matter whether it’s robbing their resources from small and weak countries, or robbing the surplus value they produce from the general public, in short, this robbing is the core essence of successful people!
"I was really taken aback by you just now." Roland sighed in relief as he stroked his wife's back.
At this moment, he felt extremely comfortable.
"Are you scared by me?" Kate raised her hands and kept pinching her husband's face, "You don't think that I suddenly mentioned these things because I think you are too cold-blooded and disgusting, so I want to divorce you? "
"Almost." Roland said, shaking his eyebrows, and said cleverly: "I thought I was going to be sentenced to prison without a wife."
"Sentence without a wife?" Kate was taken aback by the sudden emergence of new terms, but after a few seconds, she realized, "Oh! You really are! I agreed with you to create 'RandK' before, I can accept the fact that you sell your marriage, how can I not accept everything you set up for Sony?"
"But isn't it the same?" Roland shook his head and said, "These two things are not the same."
"Because the former is silent and the latter is full of blood?"
Although Roland's words were not straightforward, how could Kate fail to hear Roland's thoughts?
And when the thousands of lost lives were mentioned by his wife again, Roland's face was also full of regret, "Almost."
He, after all, is not so cold-blooded that he regards life as nothing.
This answer was also expected by Kate, "There are some things that you can never change.
Since this is the case, it has become the best choice to ride the wind and grab profits. "
These words really said that Roland's heart was lifted, but while he was relieved, his face was also full of doubts.
"Wait, what do you mean by this? Didn't you suspect that Sony's trick was the one I gave you? Now, why do you say that 9/11 will definitely be something I can't change?"
Kate, who was still lamenting her awesome husband, heard the words, and the helplessness rising from her heart made her raise her voice.
"Hey Roland! I'm really not a fool, okay? You know that 9/11 will happen, I believe it, but if you say that you participated in 9/11, then I really don't believe it. I don't know how much ability you have. Do not you know?
If 9/11 was really not an accident, then at most you only have the right to know. As for the others?
What can you arrange?
So, when the matter itself has nothing to do with you, if you don't want to use these things to create value for yourself, then I will despise you, and other things... things are not done by you, why do you have to be psychological burden? "
Grab the grass!
Roland was shocked!
He really felt that in the past seven years, he had been wrong!
During the more than 2,500 days of knowing each other, Roland has always thought that his wife is someone who understands the growth of capital, understands the core of capital, and is willing to accompany and follow, but now?
The ideological awareness she displayed is even higher than that of a guy who has been baptized by the information explosion!
It really is…
“I think we need to get back into our relationship.”
Roland excitedly kissed his wife on the cheek, "You used to hide it too deeply."
"Don't you hide deeply?"
Kate rolled her eyes, lay in her husband's arms, poked the other's chest, and said, "You have kept this trivial matter from me for years? It directly violates the principle of honesty between husband and wife. Okay? You should be punished!"
"Looking at it this way, we are clearly even!" Roland objected.
"This is your stereotype!" Kate opened her mouth and bit her husband's shoulder, "For a husband, his wife can never make mistakes, so... I think I can make up for it !"
"Make up for the hammer!" Although Kate bit him, Roland was still very happy.
"You confiscated all my wallets, you want me to buy you something?"
While speaking, Roland's hands slid down, scratching her waist.
And when the intimacy appeared, the stimulated Kate also laughed.
"Stop! Oh, don't make trouble!"
"No!"
"Let go! You scratch me so itchy!"
"Anyway, I'm not itching!"
"Ahhh! You are so cheap!"
"Slightly slightly slightly slightly..."
Since Kate doesn't care about the process of the matter and is willing to accept the result after it happens, for Roland, everything is the happiest ending. Of course, it is also the ending he wants to see the most.
Many times, women always complain that their husbands are not willing to share everything with them, but—
More often than not, men simply don't know how to share.
Tell your wife about the unfair treatment you have received in your work unit?
Don't be kidding, once or twice is fine, if you do it too often, people will think you treat her like a trash can.
Tell your wife what difficulties your company is currently facing?
Don't talk nonsense, when there is a problem with the company's source of income, the life related to it will inevitably be affected, and the resulting synergistic effect will make her feel anxious when she learns about the situation, and after that, she will be busy. Work harder.
Tell your lover that your career prospects are dark and you can't see any hope?
Don't look for death, because this kind of complaint will only make you look incompetent.
So, many times, reluctance to share is really maintaining stability.
And when Roland discovered that his wife's realm was higher than his own—
The spontaneous joy made him tremble, and made him even more excited.
At this time, Roland wanted to express all the thoughts hidden in his heart, because he held back for too long.
"That is to say, you don't know whether 9/11 was directed and performed by the little bushes?"
In the evening, during dinner, the two, who were more tired than usual, got together, and their words were full of sincerity.
"I don't know." Roland shook his head decisively.
"Okay, then why are you thinking of trapping Sony?" Kate blushed after drinking some wine, "According to the situation we were talking about at the time, wouldn't it be the best choice to let Universal into the trap?
After all, Universal Pictures is worth more than Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Universal Music is worth more than Sony Music. "
"Because Sony is a Japanese company, while Universal's parent company Vivendi is a French company. The former is firmly controlled by the United States, while the latter is very troublesome to manage. In addition, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor during World War II. , Therefore, if the public is informed that Sony has manipulated public opinion this time, then the public will be more accepting." Roland explained earnestly.
"Pursuing logical rationality?" Kate tilted her head and looked at her husband.
"Bingo!" Roland snapped his fingers.
Without any scruples, he started to talk, "What else do you want to know? I can tell you anything, and I will never hide or lie!"
These words aroused Kate's great interest, "Then what do you mean, you still have a lot of things that you are hiding from me?"
"..." Roland's face grew.
But Kate found it very interesting, "Then I want to know, do you think I am the most beautiful?"
"..." Roland wanted to hack the table with his head.
"Why? This question is difficult? Then change it." The more silent he was, the more excited Kate became, "Do you think I..."
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's take a shower and go back to the room!"
In order to avoid death on the spot, Roland played tricks directly.
Dropped the knife and fork, discarded the wine glass, got up directly, and caught the daughter-in-law like an eagle catching a chicken.
Embracing the princess and running away, she disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Even though there were several screams on the way up the stairs, and countless rescues came out when they got into the bathroom, but after the mist rose, the happiest joy in the world also came. .
And when all the dust settled and they returned to their leisure, they left Los Angeles again.
This time, they went to England.
No way, who made Kate homesick?
After staying in North America for the past year to prepare for pregnancy without success, Roland also wanted to change to another place.
This is the same as being unable to **** and blaming the earth for its lack of gravity. With both parties healthy in physical examination, Roland...
Hard work is almost bald.
It's a pity, maybe it's because the 9/11 incident was too big, but it's also possible that the intelligence agencies of various countries have made contributions, so when Roland wanted to change his mood in another place, they had just arrived in the UK, and they received Countless invitations.
In the past, those "big shots" who didn't pay attention to them threw olive branches to them one after another, and even the landowner where the house is located, the British royal family also sent invitations to them, inviting them to participate in the annual bonfire ceremony—
Guy Fawkes Night.
The white invitation letters fell like snowflakes, and when Roland found out, the inviter was either Mittal, the owner of the world's largest steel production company, or Roman Abramovich, an oil tycoon, or a British hereditary nobleman, major general, Gerald Grosvenor, the sixth-generation Duke of Westminster and the largest landowner in the United Kingdom, is after the aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska. The old money pattern of bare fruit makes him feel that There is something weird about this world.
September 11 once, let the old money and the new money lose the distance?
In this world, is there anything more outrageous than this?
But Kate felt normal, "Who is leading "Black Hawk Down"?
If the people don't know it, will they also not know it?
Now you are closely connected with the small bushes. When these old money find that a country’s military updates and major events such as declaring war can be tied to you, isn’t what you are exercising outside the country the power of the United States?
Before they ignored you, it was because you were just rich.
Now if they show you face, they want to embarrass you and your allies together.
You must know that the vested interests related to you include old military-industrial complexes, emerging technology giants, traditional financial oligarchs, and old-school political families. When these people all stand with you, you are It's not new money, does it still matter?
Old money has been in business for many years and has already taken root in the world?
But so what?
They are a thing of the past!
Now, even if you tell them they are holding it in front of them, they will only admit that they are pretending.
Because, you are not only rich, but also powerful. "
Such words made Roland smile.
If it is said that in the past, this kind of happiness was only tasted by himself, no matter what.
Now, with Kate's listening and speaking, he is very comfortable to be able to share.
"I like this state." Roland threw away the invitation card in his hand.
"Me too." Kate, who was changing dresses in front of the mirror, was even more rude, "Which one do you think I look good on?"
"blue."
"Why?"
"Like Ruth."
"Are you saying I'm fat? I've lost weight, okay?"
"..."
When Roland was "fortunate" to observe Britain at a close distance, Sony, who came a step later, only saw an empty house.
When Nobuyuki Idei and the others learned that the Rolands had gone to the UK and they might not return years ago, they already understood that Sony had become the culprit appointed by many capitals.
But as the saying goes, a dog will jump over a wall if it is in a hurry, and a rabbit will bite if it is in a hurry. When Sony found out that Roland's path was no longer possible, they wanted to save themselves and they urgently negotiated, hoping to find a way out in the desperate situation.
As everyone discussed, selling the copyright of "Black Hawk Down" and not earning this part of the money became their first choice.
But when Howard Stringer asked Sony Pictures Entertainment to release the news, all he got was silence.
The Hollywood giants who have already seen the signs are not willing to suffer from this disaster at all, and those overseas companies...
No one can afford the price Sony offered.
So, this plan can only be discarded.
And after Sony found out that they could not save themselves by throwing away the copyright and getting rid of the bond of interest, the determination of the strong man to cut off his wrist rose accordingly. They wanted to avoid the future by selling Sony Pictures Entertainment, a major asset. disaster.
But when they offered a price of one billion yuan, which attracted the attention of a bunch of second- and third-tier companies who wanted to make a joint acquisition, these companies were investigated by the California state government before they negotiated.
When the official pressure came down, those guys who wanted to act like a snake swallowed an elephant, scattered like birds and beasts.
Such a situation made Sony wake up suddenly.
In the producer column of "Black Hawk Down", there is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
His wife is Kennedy's niece.
And California is the iron ticket warehouse of the donkey party.
In this case, Sony wants to sell assets in California?
Isn't that idiot's dream?
Can I not sell my assets?
This, this, this...
When this kind of humiliation from reality came, Sony decided to burn the boat.
They found Sony's largest shareholder in the United States, Citibank, which holds more than 9% of the shares.
I hope they can come forward to mediate this matter.
Although Citibank is not the same as the previous rubbish, they can't even handle the matter. After learning of Sony's appeal, they kindly arranged a time for Sony, but when Sony felt that he could see hope, after meeting him Well, the first sentence that the representative of Citibank said made Sony's heart chill and his heart soar.
"We have already understood your affairs.
However, we may not be able to give you corresponding help.
Our parent company, Citigroup, is currently seeking an acquisition, hoping to acquire one-third of the shares of Golden State Bank and the Commonwealth Bank of California at a price of 5 to 7 billion, and these two banks...
It's all Ronald Perelman's property.
In the sale of Marvel, Ronald Perelman got a return of 600 million, and in the acquisition of Yahoo by Microsoft, he earned more than 3 billion. In front of us, we feel that even if Ronald Perelman is inhumane, he will stand by Roland Allen. After all, Roland Allen is the guy who likes to use money to settle troubles, and he, He is a businessman who likes to collect money to help people solve troubles.
So, it is useless for you to find us Citigroup.
We now need the bank from Ronald Perelman, and Ronald Perelman needs the list from Roland Allen. In this case, we believe that selling our Sony Nine percent of the shares is the most correct decision.
I'm sorry to let you hear the bad news, but this is the consensus reached by the board of directors of the group. "
The general trend is gone.
When Sony learned that Roland Allen was able to reach out to his major shareholder Citigroup, they understood that being dismembered was the only ending they could enjoy.
The leg-hugging king among the top rich people can actually embrace guys from different positions in all fields as his own?
This **** is outrageous!
but…
Even if they are screaming, so what?
When the bush government, the military-industrial complex, the tech giants, the media giants, the financial giants all want it dead...
It, can it not die?
If you want to blame, you can only blame, Japan is too weak.
If you lag behind, you will be beaten!
