Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

Chapter 286 The Revenge of the Survivors

The last Morse code had sounded, reminding Jed that the total attack was five minutes away.Jed is naturally aware of the series of measures taken by the fbi to rescue the hostages.First of all, all the bright lights on the opposite side of the abductee's building were turned on, turning the originally dark night into a clear summer afternoon.Such a strong light naturally has its importance. On the one hand, it makes the robbers fall into temporary confusion; on the other hand, it prevents the robbers from finding the police and agents in the direction of the light, reducing police casualties.

Not long after, I heard the sound of windows breaking, and then the whole room was filled with the sound of "chi chi".This is naturally the reason why the police began to use tear gas. The use of tear gas is naturally a measure to further reduce the resistance of the robbers.In the end, the police also used flash bombs when searching each room, which naturally broke down the resistance of the robbers in the end.But at this time Jed had already submerged himself in the bathtub, and then covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel.Although the tear gas is very powerful, it is not difficult to deal with it.The operation lasted less than 5 minutes before the fbi and Los Angeles police broke into the door.Those members of the Black Dragon Society were also bachelors, and seeing the failure of the operation, they simply chose to surrender collectively, which saved the police from wasting too many bullets.

After the fbi agents found Jed in the bathtub, the whole operation was declared over.Jed was escorted by the police to the ambulance, and the rest was naturally to clean up the battlefield.The ambulance roared all the way and sent Jed to the UCLA Medical Ambulance Center. After a brief examination, he was taken to a private hospital by John.This can be regarded as a kind of self-discipline of the rich in the United States, trying not to occupy public medical resources.Of course, the more important reason is that the technology and level of their own private hospitals are higher.

Just after John received the news that Jed was safe, Sherman Entertainment Group, Sherman Media Group and other companies under Sherman Holdings jointly issued a statement. The fbi and Los Angeles police expressed their gratitude, and finally thanked the public for their care and protection.Although the robbery was properly resolved within 48 hours, it still became the most high-profile robbery in American history.

First of all, the U.S. government has begun to think about its relationship with the Japanese government and business circles, although representatives of the Japanese government and business circles have stated that this is just a private behavior of some people and has nothing to do with the Japanese government or business circles.However, the U.S. government must also consider the opinions of the American people. According to polls, nearly 300% of Americans no longer believe that the United States and Japan are still allies, and even as high as [-]% of Americans believe that Japan and the United States are in a hostile relationship.The second is that the United States has begun to examine its own immigration and entry policies. After all, it is too embarrassing for a Japanese gangster team to sneak into the United States to commit crimes.Finally, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice began to investigate the judicial situation of a series of Sony Group companies in the United States, including Sony Pictures Entertainment Group and Sony Computer Entertainment Group.Because even though the Mitsui consortium and Sony headquarters in Japan have declared that they have nothing to do with the Black Dragon Society, this "no silver [-] taels here" is a public relations draft, except for deepening the suspicion of the relevant departments, it really has no positive effect.Of course, in addition to carrying out a series of public relations self-help, Sony's companies have also begun to contact Jade, hoping to get Jade's "understanding" to reduce the judicial pressure on themselves.

"These Japanese people are really shameless, since they did it, they still don't want to admit it!"

Naturally, the Japanese public relations team could not disturb Jed Sherman, after all, no public relations firm or lobbying firm in the United States would dare to take on this case.Even if some small companies took up the case in order to become famous, John never gave these people a chance to get close.After a whole body examination and admission to the hospital for observation for a week, Jed was taken back to Rose Castle to recuperate after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him.So in addition to the two babies' medical team and nutritionist team, there was another team in the castle for Jed to recuperate.

Although there is nothing wrong with Jed's body, the doctor still suggested that after experiencing the kidnapping, it would be better to rest for a period of time. At the same time, being accompanied by family and friends is also helpful for Jed's recovery.So Jed is happy to enjoy the family happiness at home, and invites a few friends to come to the house for dinner or afternoon tea from time to time. Such a relaxed life is a blessing in disguise for Jed.

After hearing John's complaint, Jed sneered: "If they still have face, they won't attack me again and again. If they don't attack them, I think they may I really thought I was easy to bully. I remember that Microsoft has always had ideas about Sony Computer Entertainment. You ask them if they would like to join forces to hostilely acquire Sony Computer Entertainment? Fortunately, Sony Computer Entertainment has not had new product interviews in recent years , it is estimated that the market's patience with them is about to reach its limit. But for us, his ps2 and psp are still good products. The important thing is that Microsoft takes away his hardware part, we take his software part, and It really doesn’t conflict with each other. In addition, we have to snatch part of Sony Music Group’s business in Asia and North America. First of all, their music business in Asia. Except for Japan, the rest must be snatched. I hope that the Chinese language in Asia All music and Korean music will be released by Asia Music Group. As for the music business in North America, our priority is their business in pop music, followed by rock and country, and other businesses will be determined."

"You're really ambitious." John laughed, and he had already sent Jed's content to his assistants.

Rose Castle has a lot of rooms, so there must be a place where the investment advisors and legal advisors of the two live.The reason they are in Rose Castle is to make it easier for the two hostesses to provide suggestions when they have important decisions at any time, and to improve them as soon as possible after the suggestions are made, such as now.After about half an hour, the advisory group has listed some general questions.

"First of all, we have to consider the issue of funding. However, this year, Sherman Entertainment Group itself has reduced its production volume. If we give up going public in the last two years, there will not be too many problems with the flow of funds. However, we need to consider judicial issues. First, will the United States launch the 'antitrust' process to review us? Second, the Japanese government can really tolerate it to the point above."

"It's not our initiative to go public or not." Jed sneered.

In fact, in order to make the market open, the United States will force companies with a certain scale to list on any primary stock market in the United States.In addition to index stocks such as the so-called Dow Jones Industrial Index or S&P 5 in the United States, there are also sad reminders such as "buyer emptor" on the pink sheet market.Simply put, listing is just an obligation, so the stock exchange market must accept it.Unlike overseas stocks that need to be listed in the United States, there are a lot of regulations that need to be passed.

Therefore, if any of Sherman's companies wants to go public, the New York Stock Exchange will definitely fight for it as soon as possible. Secondly, securities banks such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan, and Citigroup will also become underwriters and get together.Therefore, Jed is not in a hurry, he ordered, "Directly notify the U.S. Treasury Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission that Sherman Entertainment Group will have a major integration case in the last two years, in order to avoid investors' losses and the group's stock price." Underestimated, we applied for a two-year deferment of listing. As for the US government, you don’t have to worry too much, we will use the names of the two subsidiaries of Asia Music Group and Blizzard Interactive Entertainment Group to participate in the acquisition, Sherman Entertainment and Sherman The media will not participate. The question now is how tolerant the Japanese government is? By the way, has the fbi made any progress on the case? If there is definite evidence to lead the case to the Mitsui consortium, I don’t mind hiring a lawyer Sue the Mitsui Foundation in the United States."

"You want to make a fool of yourself?" Under the influence of Jed, John also has some understanding of ancient Chinese culture, especially regarding "36 Strategies" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" as bibles, and he even suggested that all companies under Sherman The top executives must be familiar with these two books, and he himself has begun to study "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

To be honest, compared to playing conspiracy and tricks, Chinese people are the ancestors of people all over the world.Jed's method is actually a very aboveboard method, don't you want to compromise with me?Since it is a compromise, then we need to give some material, right?Are you willing to pay a large sum of money that makes people feel incredible?Or is it to reduce the amount of compensation through the exchange of benefits in private?Jed has already kicked the problem to the Mitsui consortium.After all, I want to start with so many industries of Sony, this is no longer a problem that Sony can solve by itself.

At the same time, Microsoft was surprised by the cooperation plan proposed by Blizzard Interactive Entertainment Group.In order to enter the home console market, Microsoft actually set up the Microsoft Home Entertainment Division very early on. Although the developed xbox has become a three-nation rivalry with Sony's p1aystation2 and Nintendo's gamecube, this situation is actually in the The North American market, which Microsoft thinks is the stronghold, was made in the North American market, but in the Japanese market, xbox is almost a bare-bones commander.

Although the xbox36o launched by Microsoft later won the support of a large number of game developers in North America and Europe, but under the joint siege of p1aystation3 and wii, xbox36o only opened a hole in the Japanese market, and most of the time it was still in North America The market resists the invasion of ps3 and wii.Of course, xbox36o and wii do not constitute a direct conflict, and now the main opponent of xbox36o is still the p1aystation family.But for the addition of Blizzard Interactive Entertainment, Microsoft does not value it.It's like two heavyweight boxers are about to have a duel, and a 1-year-old young lady said that she would come to help someone, which sounds more like a joke.But soon the people in Microsoft's Home Entertainment Division couldn't laugh anymore, because Blizzard Interactive Entertainment took out the adaptation rights of three games and a device that surprised Microsoft.

The person in charge of Blizzard Interactive Entertainment who was in charge of the negotiation said with a smile: "Yes, you understand correctly, "Resident Evil", which currently has a leading position in the Japanese market, will be exclusively available on the xbox platform in the future, which will definitely help you occupy the Japanese market. At the same time, we will also authorize the porting of "Tomb Raider" to the xbox platform, and jointly develop the "Halo" series of games with Microsoft. Of course, the most important thing is the body sensor we developed called 'ki' Devices... I guess Microsoft doesn't just see Sony as a rival? Nintendo?"

"Your Excellency, please wait for a few minutes. The content of the current conversation is beyond my authority."

The person in charge of Microsoft's negotiations rushed out of the door with a look of surprise on his face. At this time, he just wanted to tell the department head that Microsoft's chance to turn around has come!
