"Yes, I talked to Johnson about BET, no, there is no quotation involved. BET is currently too big for Litman Media, Mr. Malone... Haha, of course I am interested, but it's a pity. If before the stock market crash... Vivendi Global? Haha, how can I have the energy now..."

Time passed another week without realizing it. After receiving the call from telecom tycoon John Malone, Song Ya rubbed her face and moaned in distress: "Why does the whole world seem to know..."

There is no way, I was once a shareholder of Def Jam Records, and the conflicts with the rich three generations are well known to everyone. ACN was one of the first media to question the actual value of Sigram Global Group. If you have a comprehensive analysis, it is indeed easy to doubt yourself.

For example, John Malone, as an early investor in BET, called him because he received his intention to compete with Viacom of Redstone for BET, but he was also inquiring about Viendi Global inside and outside.

For these private inquiries, I can temporarily deny the past, but it is very difficult to deal with media inquiries in public. Since Deep Sea Private Equity has already established Vivandi's short position in advance through Tiger Fund, I am already a person in the game, and false news will cause legal trouble.

And we cannot just publicly admit that we are shorting Vivendi Global. Since contact with the media is inevitable during the promotion and promotion of Blade Warrior 2, Song Ya is now very nervous.

This is the first time I have used high leverage in the securities market and I may be selling naked shorts in the future. The risk is extremely high. The combination of Tiger Funds is not deterrent to the top predators in the capital market at this time after the stock market crash. If someone is interested in this profit and engage in a long-short battle, just like the experience of Carl Icahn being squeezed in the 3DFX battle, then I will be very happy and even if he doesn't go bankrupt, he will be stripped of a layer of skin.

Fortunately, I can suspect that the people above me are at a high level and are limited to the social circle that understands me better. The relevant news has not yet reached the ears of reporters, and the media level is temporarily calm.

Vivendi Global's nearly 100 billion euros plate is not comparable to 3DFX. The bulls need huge amount of funds to pull quickly, and the possibility of being squeezed is not very high.

Song Ya looked at his face on the plane porthole and subconsciously tightened his facial muscles. As the day approached, he was under increasing pressure, worried and worried.

The federal appeals court will make a ruling on the Microsoft monopoly case tomorrow, which is a major event that has attracted worldwide attention in the near future. If the appeal judge makes a judgment in favor of Microsoft, combined with the new poll that Gore is significantly ahead of George Jr., Wall Street will finally usher in the long-awaited real good.

But this is not good for shorting Vivendi Global. Tiger Fund's shorting report will be quickly forgotten by public opinion.

It was the day when Vivendi Global officially reviewed the market on the Paris Exchange. The Avengers had made a lot of preparations after a long period of time, but it was impossible to be foolproof. It was like packing everything into a black box and pushing it into the darkness outside the plane porthole, and handing it over to God... No, all relevant parties and global speculative capital have decided.

"No, no..."

He blocked Harley's head as she drilled into the blanket, "Just have a good rest." Then he rubbed the thoughtful short dark chocolate cake hair lovingly and hugged her in his arms.

The Blade Warrior 2, starring the two, will still remain third in the box office list in the first week this week, surpassing another black film, Super Fat Mom, but the Champion of Zhou was taken away by Nicholas Cage's newly opened "Speed ​​Sixty Seconds", and the Mission of Soup: Impossible 2 fell to second place.

According to this trend, Blade 2 should be able to get around 200 million in the global box office, which is a very acceptable result in the sequel movie. As one of the 20 million club members of Hollywood, Song Ya is not very satisfied. However, since the Blade 20 million movies are not a Apocalypse movie, he has previously guaranteed his and Harley's pay after he redeems from Universal, and the box office sharing has been reduced. If he earns less, he will earn less money from himself and A+ Entertainment, which is barely acceptable.

"Yeah." Harley obediently put her head on his shoulder, rubbed it a few times before yawning comfortably, and closed her eyes.

The plane slowly slid towards the runway, Song Ya turned off her phone, the flight was very long, and the Blade Warrior crew went to Tokyo to run for promotion and distribution. He also needed to secretly meet Julian Robertson's people and then handle some official duties of 3DFX and Sega.

"APLUS has not made any abnormal moves. He has been following the Blade Warrior crew recently. He should be rushing to the ocean in Tokyo at this time. Julian Robertson of Tiger Fund is still in New York. When APLUS went to New York to run promotional promotions, the two seemed to have no contact."

There were many people outside who were "attention" to him. Ten hours later, in Paris, Bronfmann Jr.'s face turned gloomy when he heard his subordinates' report, and his phone rang.

"Just just now, the Court of Appeal overturned the California federal court's judgment!"

Doug Morris' tone was very excited, "Microsoft has been temporarily exempted from spin-off! Public opinion on the United States has exploded!"

"Then follow the original plan?"

What's so happy about this? The big positive for technology stocks will lead to a rebound in the New York stock market, and APLUS's net worth is about to start to rise again. Bronfman Jr. asked angrily.

"Well! I have asked Lyle Cohen to dispel the rumors and start to deal with the short-selling report in a low-key manner. All the PR methods that can be used are used. Barry Diller and I ask the media to remain absolutely silent! There will not be too much talk about Vivendi Global recently!" Doug Morris continued to take credit.

"Media media... this is not about publishing records to create momentum! Those investment institutions do not care about public opinion!"

After so many things, Bronfman Jr. intuitively, the senior manager under him was trying to fool himself again, "We need good news now, it's best to have an organization to help destroy that annoying Julian Robertson! Have you fought for it? What did Merrill Lynch say?"

"I'm working hard, didn't Merrill Lynch go to Paris to meet you?" Doug Morris asked back.

"Of course I know!"

Bronfmann hung up the phone unhappily. The banquet hall he was in was a joint venture with Vivendi CEO Messier to entertain the Ome Securities giants. He never asked about these details, and he personally attended the arrangement in advance for the first time, in order to temporarily put Vivendi Global's strong strength and confidence in front of his friends in the securities industry.

The consequences of completely accepting Vivendi's share exchange merger and acquisition before he didn't ask for cash have emerged, that is, he no longer has enough "free money" to fight short capital. He and Messil have to rely on outsiders to ask for help... He recalled the past when he encountered a wall in the banking industry seeking financing in order to acquire Polykin.

The live band prepared for the banquet was debugging the instruments. A violinist repeatedly played the long tone. His mood became more and more irritable by the squeaking strings. "Don't pull it!" Suddenly, he roared at the other side, and the banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

He also assigned Barry Diller, and Doug Morris's waste was unreliable. He needed Barry Diller, whom he trusted, to take over some key affairs in his hometown in the United States.

‘The federal appeals court overturns the verdict and Microsoft is temporarily exempt from spin-off.’

The plane landed in Tokyo, and Song Ya turned on her phone, and a series of similar text messages flocked to her.

His eyelids jumped involuntarily, and he picked Sloan back.

"Nasdaq and Dow Jones should all rebound tomorrow..."

Litman-based listed companies should be able to take advantage of some benefits, and Sloan is naturally very happy, "But this is actually just Microsoft's first level. At least nineteen state courts in the whole country are also litigating against Microsoft, and there are also countries such as the EU, but... it has nothing to do with us, hh! Since April, there has finally been real good news!"

"How much will it rebound?" Song Ya asked.

"I don't know, if the Mid-Federal can announce a rate cut, the stock market crash may have passed like this!" Sloan said hopefully: "Everyone is putting pressure on Greenspan."

"That old man..."

"However, Microsoft's big positive news will dilute public opinion and market attention to Vivendi Global, and most of the funds may stay here to fight for a rebound." Sloan reminded again.

"Well, I know, it's good."

The capital market is constantly changing and unpredictable. Song Ya actually can't say whether the news is good or bad, and no one can say it well.

‘Are still on the plane? We need to protest against the Court of Appeals’ judgment. Go back to my phone.’ This is how Jim Clark’s text message is.

"Uh, I won't talk for the time being, I'm going to be busy here."

Song Ya was too lazy to reply, so she explained to Sloan and turned off her phone again. After the trip to Tokyo, Jim Clark and the others would probably never ask themselves to do this again.

"Ahhhh! APLUS!"

I was very popular in the book, and the fans and movie fans were crowded with people. The girls screamed wildly. It was time to show their professional qualities.

Smiling, shaking hands, signing, Song Ya was busy and got into the car with the Blade Warrior crew, and the group rushed to the hotel.

"look!"

Halle pointed excitedly at the roadside.

Song Yaxun looked over and Coca-Cola also spread its advertising poster to Tokyo, playing against Taiwan with Pepsi's spokesperson, the national favorite football star Nakada Hidesu.

He grinned with satisfaction following himself on the poster.

"What's wrong with you? When you leave the public eye these days, you always seem to have a lot of worries?" Harley asked.

"It's nothing, oh by the way, Microsoft won the lawsuit." Song Ya also told her the good news.

"Will the stock market rebound tomorrow?! Do you want to buy at the bottom? Do you want to buy at the bottom?!" Harley started again in an instant.

"APLUS, how does it feel like coming here again?"

"I like this place, Tokyo has left a very deep and beautiful impression on me. I love Tokyo, I love you..."

The schedule is very compact. In the evening, the Blade Warrior crew appeared in the local theater and sat in front of the screen to attend the interview before the screening.

"Halley, as an actress who has worked with APLUS many times, how do you think of him?"

The media in the first row of books kept throwing questions.

"He is a gentleman..." Harley smiled and took the microphone handed over by Song Ya and began to blow the rainbow fart.

At the Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, the heads of the Seattle team who had just participated in the low-key internal celebration returned to the conference room, "Don't be too happy too early, there are lawsuits from abroad and states to be handled." CEO Ballmer slapped and added a tight spring to his subordinates again.

"I don't want to let go of the California federal judge who is talking nonsense. He must be fired."

Only the richest man Bill Gates had no smile on his face. Although he resigned from his position as CEO, he is still the only king here who retains the chairman and chief software architect. Now he is very different from the genius programmer with pure eyes and pure eyes. He said very coldly: "We must show our strength to our enemies and find new themes and support points for the company's stock price."

Everyone began to listen to the boss's words in a serious manner.

"We must fight the alliance between Netscape AOL Time Warner and SUN. It's time to announce that Microsoft's point NET strategy has officially started, and Windows .NETFramework will be used to benchmark SUN's ONE framework platform and enter their advantageous battlefield to compete."

Gates said: "At the same time, we will also make our own game console platform XBOX. Sega is too incompetent and was defeated by the late Sony PS2 console. They failed the CE operating system we customized for its DC console. We want to become the new leading company in the American gaming industry after Atari and regain the market that was gradually monopolized by our subsidiary companies after Atari failed!"

The two decisions were mentally prepared within the company. Needless to say, SUN put a lot of pressure on the software and hardware industry, which made Microsoft feel like it was stuck. In the game industry, Microsoft has long invested in buying some well-known game studios and sought to buy EA. Ballmer himself went to Japan in person to try to acquire Nintendo, Square and other companies. The two parties had a series of contacts, but they both failed in the end.

Finally, it is about to be announced to the public, "Just like we destroyed the Netscape in the past?" someone asked.

"Learn some lessons, we will do it cleaner this time." Ballmer replied with a smile.

No matter how litigation develops in other states and abroad, at least the split crisis has been temporarily overcome. Although this is thanks to the sudden stock market crash environment, Wall Street, the donkey government and Gore, who is in the election, cannot bear another big negative for the technology industry.

Microsoft went on a battle and no one grew up, and everyone in the conference room burst into laughter with confidence.

"Hahaha!"

Tokyo, Song Ya's humor and witty also made laughter from time to time at the interview, "APLUS, the US stock market bubble burst and led to turmoil in the global capital market. What do you think as a participant who has experienced all this?" A reporter suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the movie.

"That's too unbearable to look back on, and today we'd better only talk about movies." Song Ya waved her hand to refuse with a wry smile.

The whole world knew that he had accompanied 4 billion, and the media and movie fans on the scene laughed friendly.

"I'm very sorry." The reporter bowed, "Well, I heard that your 3DFX and Microsoft will no longer support Sega's subsequent hosting plan, right? Sega's company's accession to the company severely protested your behavior. He said that 3DFX and Microsoft are completely treasonous and disloyal to their business partners..."

"Which media are from you?" Song Ya asked back.

“NHK.”

"The Hitachi CPU on their DC host seriously wastes the performance of our VOODOO3 chip. What is there to protest against when Ikechiro? Sega's channel strategy in Kitami is also very problematic!"

This was discussed by 3DFX and Microsoft before. If Microsoft is not split, the two companies will join forces to abandon Sega. NHK is OK, and their influence is absolutely enough. Song Ya stopped Zach Snyder, who wanted to take the microphone to smooth the field, took off the corner of his suit, spread his legs and switched to the sitting position of the Big Malaysian Golden Knife, looked directly at the reporter in a scolding tone, answered the question directly, and started to build momentum for the XBOX plan: "NEC's VOODOO3 chip foundry yield and cost have always been problematic. We 3DFX has endured it for a long time!"

The game console is familiar, and the movie fans who watch Blade Warriors also have a great overlap. After he confirmed the rumor in person, the scene couldn't help but feel shocked and commotion.

In the dark cinema, the faint light on the mobile phone screen began to light up one after another. Some reporters began to call and send text messages regardless of the etiquette of watching movies, running in and out to inform the news.

The other identity of the male protagonist in the crew is the industry leader! Zach Snyder and Harley both looked at Song Yaxing with a scruple of attention and silently watched him pretend.

"So will Microsoft's new host use your display chip and Inter's CPU?"
