Chapter 291: The man at the top of the food chain
In a country house in Colorado.
In front of the TV.
Melissa sighed: "4.8 billion US dollars..."
"Viacom's 21% stake, CBS' 5.6% stake..." Margot whispered.
Aimeber also chewed a sentence from a host inside: "What changes will happen to Hollywood when new capital forces invade the media industry?"
Several Hollywood beauties were a little trance. They were watching the TV screen, and CNNfn interviewed the general manager of Oasis Investment.
Acosta, a CNN reporter from New Jersey, is briefly interviewing Alvertley.
Speaking of this reporter Acosta, there is still an interesting story recently.
This incident involved a big shot, the nominal leader of America, Mr. President.
CNN, the company where Acosta journalists are located, is now suing the White House and the president in place of Acosta for breaching press freedom rights.
The cause was that CNN reporter Acosta, who refused to hand over the microphone to continue asking questions to the president after a speech conference in the midterm elections.
It's the one who wants to ask a few more questions.
Then he had a fierce quarrel with Mr. Te Unreliable, and after the quarrel, his White House reporter's certificate was revoked. CNN then sued Te Unreliable to court.
This matter cannot be explained clearly.
Acosta must have been wrong. After his questioning time was over, he continued to ask questions tirelessly. This was a violation of the rules. If he did not return the microphone, it would be even more a violation of the rules.
But there is something wrong with the White House and Mr. President. Even if Acosta doesn't return the microphone, wouldn't it be enough to just ask the security or others to take it over?
Are you a great gentleman, need to come out and argue with the other party in person?
Having said that.
If Abel knew that Mr. President did this, he might give him a thumbs up!
Nothing else.
The President's spirit of disobedience is a quarrel, which is very consistent with the spirit of most Chinese elites.
After arguing with Mr. President, Acosta ran to Los Angeles from DC to DC and received a new task from CNN. The interview now has a greater impact on the entire Hollywood and media industry, that is, the incident of Oasis Investment in the acquisition of Wilcom and CBS stocks.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after arguing with Mr. President, Acosta is about to develop and his reputation has spread. And now CNN looks like it is just a focus on cultivating.
Otherwise, such hot news would not be Acosta's turn.
Therefore, sometimes, as long as you fail to die, you will often get unexpected gains.
Of course.
Most people die after they commit suicide...
The TV set in front of several Hollywood beauties was deliberately used to the old TV of the last century on the surface.
But this is actually a high-end product, produced by Bangzi, sold in China, with a price of up to 800,000 yuan. It is a TV of Xingxing Electronics.
On the 80-inch display screen, Acosta was interviewing Alverteli, who was talking.
"Oasis Investment is willing to share Viacom's success with Mr. Redstone. Our investment in Viacom is not the kind of malicious acquisition uploaded on the market. We just want to share Viacom's glory..."
"You said you should acquire CBS? Oh, this is also a long-term investment in Oasis Investment. We are optimistic about CBS, so we invest. Do you have any questions?"
"You say we are the first shareholders? Yes, we have 21% of Viacom's shares, 21.79% to be exact! But our voting rights are not high, and we even only occupy less than 5% of the overall voting rights!"
"Is it reasonable to spend 1/5 of the money, but only 1/20 of the voting rights?"
"For CBS, we answered with kindness..."
“…”
Acosta, who had been quarrel with Mr. President, was much more polite when interviewing Alvertelli.
This is not because Alvertei's power is greater than that of the President, but because the county magistrate is not as good as the current management.
As the general manager of Oasis Investment, Alvertley is expected to enter Viacom and become one of the giants in the media industry.
Acosta is a mixed-media industry. If there is no conflict of interest, it is really a ghost to dare to confront Alverte.
Besides, Abel and Time Warner have a good relationship, and everyone has begun to discuss whether to accept the interest-free and mortgaged loan provided by Abel.
How could it be possible for his reporter to offend Abel's men?
So the interview process was a joyful one.
Acosta and Alvertelli had a good conversation, presented it to the audience in front of the TV, showing several messages:
Oasis Investment owns 1/5 of Viacom's stock, but only has 1/20 of the voting rights. Oasis Investment is very dissatisfied.
Oasis Investment will not give up!
Oasis Investment has set its sights on CBS!
And it happened that Scarlett Johnson, Aimer, Melissa, and Margot were one of the many viewers in front of the TV.
The interview is over.
But I don’t know if it’s because Time Warner and Abel have a good relationship.
CNNfn is still playing news about Oasis Investment’s acquisition of Viacom. CNNfn invited some well-known financial experts and hosts to open a special topic to discuss the second new merger and acquisition case in the media industry since At&T acquired Time Warner.
Perhaps it may be because At&t acquired Time Warner and made Time Warner the only giant among the media giants to sell themselves, Time Warner especially hopes that someone will be like himself, so that he will not be the only one who sells himself.
Time Warner is definitely the first to vote for Oasis Investment to acquire Viacom.
These have nothing to do with several Hollywood beauties for the time being.
After they read this short news.
The eyes became complicated one by one.
Because of this TV interview program, the real messenger behind Viacom who wants to acquire Viacom is not far from them now!
In their industry, there is a food chain.
In addition to Scarlett Johnson, they are currently the lower part of this food chain.
What kind of food chain?
First, expand to the entire media industry. Vilcom is one of the giants in the entire media industry; its younger brother Paramount is one of the six major Hollywood giants; Paramount has many directors, screenwriters, and producers are also Hollywood bigwigs; under these many bigwigs, those A-level or first-line stars with good relationships with them are authoritative people; under these authoritative people are second- and third-line stars; under the second- and third-line stars are those 18-line stars who are not in the class; under the little stars are those flesh-and-hearted; under the little stars are those flesh-and-hearted and those dead supporting roles...
Now Abel has the potential to become one of the top owners of this food chain.
How could this not shock Melissa, Margot and Aimeber not be so shocked, and how could it be so fascinating?
Even Scarlett Johnson could not avoid it.
After all, she is only higher than them, barely considered an authoritative person. On Scarlett Johnson, there are several food chains that can be discovered in the future Abel, who may become one of the masters of this food chain.
If we can get the favor of this food chain...
Melissa, Aimeber, Margot and others can all think of their future bright future!
Didn't Scarlett Johnson think of it?
Chapter completed!
