Vol 3 Chapter 345: Get out now!

After the Stanford fight, Adrian and Claude finally eliminated the barriers between each other because of the group listing, and it is indeed easier for men to communicate with their fists. Then everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but unfortunately, only two days later, this illusion was broken.
It all started with a video, a video that didn't know who was uploaded to utube, the title was a real shot miracle director fight. Although the picture is not very clear, it seems to be taken with a mobile phone, but it is still basically identifiable. The person waving a fist with a middle-aged man is the well-known Hollywood super director and the newly released "Iron Man" Adrian Cowell.
It didn't take long for the movie boom, and Adrian has always been a well-known figure. It is conceivable how much attention a video with such a title will attract-after a few hours, the click-through rate will exceed one million.
"We can clearly identify that the two people fighting in the video were Adrian Cowell, chairman of the board of directors of the media, and Claude Ron Rees, president of the media, which was obviously an unusual fight. Lenovo previously thought that the media first heard the news of listing, but it quickly became a financing in the primary market. We can infer that the two founders of the media showed signs of division. "News Corporation's ox news channel took the lead in The incident was reported on television, and they used their usual "attitude" style.
Although he was concerned about the identity of Adrian and Claude, they did not distort too much. But a word of "brawl" is enough to explain a lot of problems, and the title of "two senior executives throwing fists at each other" can easily guide people's thoughts.
After that, the major media began to reprint, there was a huge rift between Adrian and Claude, and this video quickly took a walk. Although for ordinary people, this is just a big gossip, the super-seeming super director who has always been beautiful will actually fight with his own dead party, which is really fun. But for investors. However, this is a serious problem. If the opinions of senior management within a group are not uniform, and even there are huge differences, how can they invest in such a group?
And, soon, some reporters took photos of Adrian and Claude. Although both were covered up, some traces were still visible under the HD lens prepared by the reporters. And soon the original author of the video was found. A cleaner at Stanford said he had no intention of seeing it. He just happened to be an Adrian fan. He had just seen "Iron Man", so he recognized him at a glance, and took a shot with his mobile phone.
This also proved that this was neither a hype nor a conspiracy, and further increased the credibility of the internal conflict between the two, although Adrian and Claude later said through spokespersons that there was nothing to each other, but Because of a little fight, this is something everyone will do.
"Did no one ever fight with his brother?" Adrian also wrote such a paragraph on his e-pook. I also posted a few photos from the evening reception.
Unfortunately, this did not help. Some commentators in financial magazines began to publish articles questioning the internal conditions of the media. Wall Street became more hesitant, and financing operations that were not so smooth were even more difficult.
To make matters worse, more than a week later, the ox news network suddenly broke the news. According to a resigned internal employee, Adrian and Claude had a fierce quarrel over whether the group was listed. "The sound is loud enough to be heard even at the door." ox news network quoted each other's words in this way, and conducted a full ridicule.
"From arguing to fighting, can anyone tell me what's next?" A commentator said on TV.
Although the media side denied it for the first time. He also claimed that he would retain the right to enact the law on the resigned employee, but rumors of internal discord broke out for a while. In particular, some reporters said that as the founders of the two appointments so far, they have only nodded and said hello, they have not seen the usual affection.
Although Adrian and Claude soon appeared in front of the media together through a fundraising reception, Adrian also appeared in the premiere of "I Am Legend" starring Will Smith and supporting actress Gao Yuanyuan. He has repeatedly stated that he and Claude have no contradictions, but they have always been interpreted as wanting to be covered by the outside world, so all kinds of negative rumors about the media have continued to ferment in the media.
Fortunately, they are not listed companies. Otherwise, the stock chart will definitely be unacceptable to some investors with a bad heart, but even so, the Group's business in this area has been greatly affected. After almost a month's delay, news of a pending financing action from Wall Street—oxnews used the word
rejection
—to question the media's voice became louder, and finally someone jumped out.
"This is indeed a major setback, but it will not affect our development. Of course, someone must be held accountable before that," an executive director of the media board said in an interview after independence day.
In fact, a few days later, he united some members of the board of directors, asking the group to convene a board of directors and hold the accountability of the matter.
"This is a common problem of emerging groups that are expanding too fast. If the upward momentum has been maintained, even if there is a conflict, shareholders can choose to ignore it, but if there is a major problem, the gap between them will quickly expand." The media received a lot of attention in one to two months. Naturally, such news could not be concealed, so some commentators commented with a gun and a stick.
"I don't care how other media comment, I have never thought too much about it. I want someone to make a reasonable explanation for this matter!" One of the media executive directors also made a speech to be accountable and called the director Bruce Kahn, who convened the board of directors, sat at the lower end of the long table in the conference room and said in a strong tone, glanced from time to time to Claude, who was sitting on the top left.
He is a middle-aged man in his forties. They are always well-dressed, relatively conservative, and very concerned about financial budgets and investment plans.
"Of course, Bruce, but ... the meeting hasn't started yet." Robert Fleming, an executive director, coughed awkwardly, then squinted at the empty seat.
As the chairman of the board of directors, knowing that the board of directors is targeting his own dead party this time, it has not yet appeared. What the representative can imagine is conceivable.
Sure enough, after the promoter spoke out. Someone couldn't help it: "It doesn't matter, we can set today's issue one step before."
"Yeah, that's not contradictory, is it?" Someone followed.
There is no doubt that Kahn has attracted a group of directors, otherwise he would not have called for a board of directors at this time.
"It's not contradictory at all, I just want to know why Mr. Ron Rees, the president and the chairman, has serious communication problems with the chairman." After taking the opportunity of chat, he started to talk and won many people's approval . Kahn immediately started to fight further, watching Claude without blinking.
"It's impossible for people to have problems communicating with each other," Crowder said indifferently.
"You have been communicating very well with Mr. Chairman until then. This is the first; your poor communication has caused serious consequences, this is the second." Kahn looked aggressive, "Anyway, this is nothing. Arguable facts. In addition, I have heard that Mr. Chairman had never heard of a listing before you raised it, and I think you need to explain it. "
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the conference room, and various whispers began to flow. Even the former directors who couldn't sit still couldn't help looking at Claude, and one of them frowned and asked, "Is Bruce really saying that, Claude?"
Although it was clear to all present that Claude could bypass him and do whatever he wanted to do because of Adrian's decentralization, but if he didn't say a word, he would inform him when it was near. That's the rhythm of tearing your face. Are they really parting ways? Some directors looked at the vacant seats with suspicion.
"Adrian and I did have a conflict in this regard, but an understanding was reached after intense discussion and calm," said Crowder, still expressionless. "We all agree to raise money in the primary market."
However, the avoidance of the light answer was not satisfactory, so Kahn immediately said: "But you can't explain why the plans are well prepared, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have agreed, but they suddenly changed from listing to Another level of market financing. Well, even if Mr. Chairman and you have reached an understanding, what next? If Stanford's incident was an accident, how did our media deal with it when everyone questioned us? Chaos , Lack of mind, inconsistency, and inadequacy of advancement and retreat, completely unable to fight the dirty water splashed on us, and ultimately led to financing failure. "
He didn't hide his tone of ridicule, and gave no face at all, making it clear that he was aimed at Claude.
"The incident at Stanford was an accident. In that case, it was unwise for the media to conduct a large-scale justification. We could only fight back in a roundabout way and wait for it to calm down."
These words he said are not unreasonable, but at this time, in the eyes of other directors, he and Gu Zuo are no different in his shirk responsibility.
"As Mr. Chairman's best friend, you should never let Stanford happen!" Kahn said sharply.
"Bruce, this isn't Mr. Ron Riese's responsibility." Fleming seemed to want to persuade, but instead put the final topic in his hands.
"Sorry, that's his responsibility!" Kahn raised his hands. "If that's not the case, I can't imagine what responsibility he has as president and Mr. Ron Reese!"
He exclaimed: "So, given the company's losses, I recommend that Mr. Ron Reese be fired!"
Several alliances that had been drawn by Kahn immediately joined together, and the remaining neutral directors appeared hesitant, especially when they saw the empty seat in the first place. . I just do n’t know why, Crowder has no expression and has already given his fate? Or does he have a hole card?
"So, now ..." Kahn glanced at Claude smugly. I was about to continue talking, and then I heard a voice coming from the door of the conference room: "I'm so sorry, I'm late, I took Brooklyn to the studio on the way, and talked a little more in the car for a few minutes Delayed, I hope it's not too late. "
Being able to speak in such a relaxed tone, as if nothing to worry about, is naturally the chairman of the media, the well-known Hollywood Adrian Cowell. Just look at his proud smile. The so-called chat in the car is just excuses. As long as a woman gets in his car, that's equivalent to getting into his bed.
"What more do you talk about, Crow?" After sitting down in his place, Adrian smiled and asked his partner, and this attitude instantly sank some people.
"About-how to fire me." Claude shrugged.
"Fire you? Why?" Adrian looked strangely.
"We think Mr. Ron Rees has to take responsibility for this," Kahn said first, though very serious, but somewhat uncomfortable.
"You mean being caught in a fight and then causing the financing to fail?" Adrian asked.
"Yes. Mr. Chairman, and we believe. You were initially unaware of the listing." Kahn took a deep breath.
"Yeah, I didn't know it at first," I didn't expect Adrian to nod. "But it was caused by me. I just glanced at the plan he sent, and didn't take it to heart. Of course, We also quarreled about this, but eventually took a step back. We decided to raise funds in the primary market. It was just that some uncles did not solve it, and then because of attending the Stanford Cocktail Party, they recalled some contradictions, so they simply hit I did n’t expect a cleaner to take the picture and spread it to the Internet, which eventually led to the failure of financing ... Well, Crow does have some responsibilities, but I do the same. "
After this sentence came out, several people changed their faces. Especially Bruce Kahn and the directors who previously accompanied him. Adrian's statement in this way is tantamount to supporting Claude. It is impossible to dismiss Claude. Adrian is not only the person with the most shares in the board. It is also a major shareholder of the entire media. As long as he and Claude are united, no matter what kind of resolution can be passed.
The reason why Kahn would dismiss Claude was because of his disagreement with Adrian. During this time, it is indeed rumored that the two have rarely met since the quarrel over the listing. , Even when they met, they were very cold, so Kahn thought differently. In his opinion, if there is really a huge rift between the two, as long as they stand firm on Adrian's side, then it is likely that Claude will replace it.
The ambitious ambitions, coupled with the suggestion that the chairman's seat was empty during the meeting, eventually made Kahn gamble. Unexpectedly, looking at the situation today, these two people are simply doing dramas in order to let some people jump out on their own.
"So, is there anything else?" Adrian asked immediately.
Some directors, you see me, I see you, shook their heads involuntarily, and were so put together, even if there are issues, they dare not raise them, God knows what they plan to do.
"Okay, then I have a proposal." Adrian's smile became subtle now, and several directors, including Kahn, couldn't help it, so fast? !!
"I propose that Robert Fleming be disqualified from the board of directors and expelled from the board of directors." Who knew that was what Adrian said.
The conference room was quiet for a few seconds, followed by a commotion, and originally thought that he was going to expel Kahn, who had previously embarrassed Claude, how could he turn to Fleming who had previously spoken for Claude.
"This ... why is this?" Fleming was shocked.
"Did you say the wrong thing, Adrian?" A director asked immediately, looking a little bit worried.
"Yeah, for what reason is it necessary to expel Robert?" Another director asked in a hurry, and the unreasonable expulsion of directors and executive directors would only make everyone self-dangerous.
"Is the reason to sell the group's confidential information to Rupert Murdoch?" Adrian, who was smiling, said in a gentle tone, then greeted, and soon an assistant came in from the door and would prepare Good folders are in front of the directors.
Everyone, including Bruce Kahn, showed shock, looked at Fleming, who turned pale, and quickly opened the folder in his hand. Adrian's voice sounded as they moved. Get up: "On April 23, you and Murdoch met at the Raphael Club. On the third day, the acquisition that was originally intended to fail was lost by News Corps half a month later; on May 13, you and Murdoch Ke made a phone call, and one week later, "Ad Madman" I saw was bought by Fox for a large price; on June 19, you chatted with Murdoch separately at a charity party at Four Seasons Hotel, and then someone The employee left, and four days later, ox news network logged out of a quarrel with me and Claude. "
He smiled and looked at Fleming, who was already pale. "Shall I continue to enumerate, Robert?"
Then he thought of something again: "Oh, yes, add one more, and instigate Bruce to convene the board and attack Claude."
Kahn gave Fleming a stern glance, and then he showed fear to Adrian. He didn't expect Fleming's unintentional words that made him firm and confident. I did not expect Adrian and Claude to be clear about this, and I could n’t help but sweat for a while ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I only put some photos in the file, as well as information about your cousin's job at News Corporation, I I don't want to take out the recording or video, and I don't want to know how much Murdoch has given you. I just want to say, "Adrian put a smile and pointed to the door of the conference room." Now, get out of me. "
Immediately, the frightened Fleming stood up and walked swaying, accompanied by the whispers of the directors.
"Well, guys," Adrian clapped his hands again after Fleming's departure. "I believe you have no interest at this moment to discuss the others, so let's meet first, but in the new Before the executive director was elected, I proposed that Bruce be in charge of Robert's job-is that okay? "
The last sentence was directed to Kahn, who could not help but hesitated, and did not expect such a thing to happen.
"Anyway, you are thinking about the company." Adrian smiled.
"It's a great honor." Kahn immediately owed a little excitement. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (.) To vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.
