Chapter 293 Sony San... Farewell.
If David found out that Roland blamed himself for not having Dao Ming, he would absolutely yell that he was wronged!
Before, he really wanted to tell Roland about Gilead's background, but Roland was too emotional and told the news about Gilead very clearly, so he mistakenly thought that Roland knew everything.
If he didn't understand, how could Roland shout out 'losing money every year, never making a profit'?
If he didn’t understand, how could Roland say that ‘Gilead’s headquarters is in California’?
If he didn’t understand, how could Roland ask ‘Has Gilead ever sought investment from Warren’?
One rhetorical question after another, and confirmation again and again, made David feel that Roland was very familiar with this company, so he didn't dwell too much on the company's background, and directly talked to Roland about the business.
But it was this misunderstanding that caused Roland to turn from excitement to surprise after hearing the names of a bunch of elephant party bosses, and finally to bewilderment. Although he was very impressed with Henry Rumsfeld and Dick Che These two guys are very unfamiliar, but the position of Defense Minister alone can explain everything!
Not to mention, Arnold Schwarzenegger also said George Bush!
"Didn't I say that, I really only invested because of the relationship between Gilead and James' mentor!"
Although Roland was dizzy from the news thrown by the future governor, his reason remained.
After discovering that there was a secret behind Gilead that he didn't know, and the guy in front of him seemed to know it well, Roland asked shamelessly, "Arnold, if you know anything, you must tell me!"
The undisguised words made the future governor frowned. He stared at Roland for a while, and after confirming that the guy in front of him didn't really seem to be acting, he immediately coughed and looked up at the truck driver.
"James? What is the specific arrangement for this afternoon?"
Get to the truck driver who was interested in the other party to greet the assistant director, glanced at the shooting arrangement, and then said: "This afternoon is all about fiction, 'the first meeting between Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin', 'showing the mechanical tentacles', ' The three scenes of “Reform Energy Cooperation” are yours, and the scenes of “the wounded Spiderman finds the second-generation Green Goblin to talk about his conflicts with his girlfriend” and “the Green Goblin happened to find out and recognize his identity” are Roland’s… It’s related to you There are only five games in total, and the rest belong to the Green Goblin and his son."
"We can shoot cross-shots. First, we will shoot the first meeting in Room 1. While filming, Roland, you go to Room 3 to stare at the interior scene of that scene. Once I finish filming, I will talk to Anthony ( Hopkins) in the past, and then passed the two scenes of confession and discovery at the same time, and at the same time, the scene showing the cooperation between the mechanical arm and the energy transformation in Room 2 can also be arranged, so... If you want to advance Get off work, then get moving! Okay?"
The truck driver glanced at the two of them and found that the two nodded in agreement, so he handed over the scene where Roland was going to shoot, then slapped Roland's **** with a folder, and shouted: "Go! Go! ! Go!"
After working together for so many years, what level is Roland? The truck driver is very clear.
He has already taught what needs to be taught, and what needs to be learned, Roland has already practiced by burning money. In this case, let alone asking him to supervise the set, even if he directs the traffic with the guide tube, the truck driver It won't be the same as before, staring at it all the time.
In this way, when the top team wants to do something quickly, the entire crew runs like an engine.
Start work at 1:30 and clock out at 4:30. Roland doesn't have to worry about the remaining two scenes of the Green Goblin father and son. In order to thank the whole team for their cooperation, Roland even asked the production director to give the whole team extra meals tonight.
The cost of eating out will be paid by him.
As for the truck driver?
Hi! Roland will not be polite to him!
After finishing work and getting ready, Roland and the governor returned to the hotel together.
Because the next conversation was very sensitive, they put the place of the conversation in the guest room that had been rented for several months.
"What do you want to know?" The governor leaning on the sofa lit a cigarette.
"I don't know anything now." Roland spread his hands, "If possible, could you please start from the beginning?"
"For example, why is Henry Rumsfeld the chairman of Gilead? What is the relationship between Gilead and DOD? Why can't Gilead raise capital even though it has a DOD background?"
That's right, this is where Roland was puzzled!
If Gilead is really backed by DOD, how could it be possible to lack scientific research funds?
"Trouble? Why are you being polite to me?" The governor flicked off the cigarette ash, waved his hand, and said, "This is all information that you can get from other places, but they know it better than I do. .”
"Henry Rumsfeld actually likes pharmaceutical companies very much. He used to be the CEO of GDSearle. As soon as he took office, he cut off the loss-making subsidiaries and departments and turned GDSearle into profit. So when Gilead was founded, When promoting his longevity plan with emerging concepts, he readily accepted their invitation, and in 1988, he joined Gilead's board of directors and owned certain shares."
“At first, he didn’t participate in the company’s operations, because this kind of concept-selling start-up company simply couldn’t provide him with room to display. In addition, he was still the chairman of General Instrument at the time, so he had no time to manage Gilead.”
"But because of his existence, Gilead still attracted a lot of investment, because those investors felt that he, who can save GDSearle, has the ability to lead a start-up company to grow."
"So, you mean that you invest in Gilead because you believe in immortality. Is this just a capital rhetoric?" Roland interrupted the governor's words and asked very puzzled.
"That's not it!" The governor shrugged and pressed the cigarette **** in the ashtray. "Is it possible to solve such a thing as immortality in a day or two? Do you think those old men are really easy to deceive?"
"When every start-up pharmaceutical company is looking for investment, it will weave a beautiful future to the outside world, but the company that can really get investment, which one does not have the endorsement of a big man? If you talk about it, I will believe it. Then am I still capital? Who is a fool who can earn one billion and control tens of billions?"
"Just like you, are you investing in Gilead now because you are bullish on it?"
"You don't understand anything, but your family thinks it's good, so you trust your own people."
"It's the same with others. They don't believe in a bright future at all, but they see that there are really people in this company who can use the investment to develop drugs! Or they see that there are talents in this company who can manage! "
"If not, don't vote!"
“Warren Buffett is like that.”
"And I personally think that his vision is really powerful, because Gilead is not a research and development company at all."
Okay...
Roland laughed.
He remembered the experience of Warren Buffett being surrounded and questioned in his previous life.
Every year at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting, a bunch of people will ask the old man which ones they regret most in the cases where they were able to invest but did not invest in these years.
And the old man’s answers every time are Google and Amazon.
But at this time, Charlie Munger will add: "No, no, no, the sum of these two points is to regret not investing in Jeff Bezos. We have known each other for many years, but we don't trust the Internet. Miss Amazon, again, we’ve known each other for years, Jeff invested in Google, but we still haven’t…”
Whenever this time, someone will ask whether they regret not investing in Gilead.
Faced with this question, the two old men gave surprisingly consistent answers—"No."
If Roland couldn't understand it at the beginning, then now, he understands it.
Because Amazon and Google are companies that do things anyway, and Gilead is exactly like Berkshire Hathaway, growing through capital operations. Since this is the case, there is no point in investing!
When it comes to compound interest, Warren Buffett is not afraid of anyone!
"And then, why did he become the chairman of Gilead again?" Roland asked.
"This... is mainly because Gilead cheated too much money." When he said this, the corner of the governor's mouth slightly raised, as if he was holding back a smile, "It took Gilead eight years to develop a western medicine. Dofovir, for this product, they burned nearly 100 million U.S. dollars, and the point is, when promoting the drug, the rhetoric they gave was that this drug that inhibits cytomegalovirus is better than foscarnet and sodium foscarnet on the market. Ganciclovir is hundreds of times better, the latter two require surgical intubation for administration, the former only needs intravenous injection, so they raised 250 million in financing in 1995 and 1996."
"However, when the drug was launched in 1996, people discovered that the drug was not as powerful as it was said to be."
"So Henry Rumsfeld became the chairman of the company in 1997."
"Oh! Is it because he found out that he was also cheated by the company?" Roland was shocked.
"Basically, Gilead used his banner to raise funds and cheated so much money, but in the end it couldn't come up with a drug..." The governor kept gesticulating in the air, "This will seriously consume his trust in the hearts of the capital. .”
"So he has to make Gilead change. Even if it still ends up in bankruptcy, he has to at least try to save the company. If he doesn't do anything, then the next time he joins a startup, he wants to attract investment. , it will be very difficult.”
"As far as I know, Gilead's acquisition this time is led by him."
"Regardless of success or failure, he can give investors an explanation."
"And you...how did you get involved?"
The governor showed a helpless smile. At this moment, he really felt that Roland had been deceived.
But Roland didn't care about the governor's sympathy, because he understood why the company still couldn't raise funds despite having a DOD background—wasn't it because they cheated too much before?
"Then you mean... suggest that I think about it more?" Roland took a deep breath, with a wry smile on his face.
"No... I wouldn't tell you that." However, the governor shook his head.
“More than that, I will tell you that Gilead is a very good company.”
"Why?" Roland was a little surprised by this answer.
"Because I was the chairman of the President's Health and Exercise Council, appointed by George Bush on January 22, 1990."
The governor shook his eyebrows, and that funny action made Roland laugh out loud, "Hahaha~"
"I haven't watched you work out for a long time, and I forgot about it."
"Really? I'm so sad!" The governor was very aggrieved.
"Oh! If James were here, he'd give you back what he said in the afternoon."
Roland smiled and said: "Stop acting, stop acting! Arnold, your acting skills are really bad!"
"Hey hey!" The cheerful governor didn't care, but picked up the water glass to moisten his throat.
Under his narration, Roland has already figured out the situation of Gilead.
Before Roland thought that Gilead was some kind of secret project of DOD, but let’s see now...
It's just that after those politicians retired, they frantically asked the capital for the benefits promised back then.
that is…
Probably going too far.
Since Gilead is not privately owned by DOD, Roland voted with confidence.
As for Henry Rumsfeld?
There are people in the court who are easy to handle!
It is because of him that Gilead can acquire other pharmaceutical companies like crazy!
You must know that all the pharmaceutical companies acquired by Gilead can basically come up with shocking products within two years after being acquired. If you reason about the timeline, you will find that these companies are all submitting to the FDA for approval. At that time, they were targeted by Gilead, and they were swallowed up by Gilead during the FDA approval process.
If it happened once, it could still be called an accident, but two times, three times, four times...
hehe.
After teasing each other a few words, Roland, who had no psychological pressure, threw another weird question to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Hey, by the way, what does Henry Rumsfeld look like? I don't know yet..."
"What? You have such a big business, are you not prepared for this?"
"I didn't need it before, but now... don't I have you?"
"Oh! I love hearing that from you... But why do you suddenly want to know what he looks like?"
"Hi (↘)! I didn't know he was the chairman of Gilead, so I asked David to talk about investment directly. Now that I know, of course I have to remember it! Otherwise, I won't recognize him when we meet Come out, isn't that a joke?"
"That's right. If other people can't recognize him, then that's fine, but he is a former Defense Minister after all, and half of his students are also former Defense Ministers. It really doesn't make sense that you don't know such a well-known guy."
It's a pity that Arnold Schwarzenegger is not crazy, and it is impossible to carry a photo of a big man with him. In this era, Wikipedia has not been born by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, so I want to find one It's actually very difficult to take specific photos of guys, but it doesn't matter, their subordinates all have tools.
After ordering his assistant to find a photo of Henry Rumsfeld, they didn't wait stupidly when they saw that the meal time had arrived, but went out to eat, because Arnold Schwarzenegger helped Roland solve his confusion, So for this evening's meal, Roland took the initiative to invite them, and when they returned to the hotel full of wine and food, the photos were also sent over.
"Here, this is Henry Rumsfeld." The governor handed over a very clear color ID photo.
"Ah, good..." Roland took the photo and glanced at it.
At the first glance, Roland felt nothing.
After taking a second look, Roland felt that he looked okay.
But after he took a third and fourth glance, his brows gradually frowned, and his forehead revealed a plow-like furrow.
'Hiss...'
'This old man...'
‘Why does it look so familiar! '
‘It seems that I have seen this guy in the previous life? '
‘It’s not right! Isn't this guy the Defense Minister from 1975? How could I read DefenseMinister in America in 1975 in my previous life? And if I deliberately turn over, then I will definitely remember this guy's name just like remembering those European and American stars! How could it be familiar yet unfamiliar? '
Roland felt very strange, but he didn't know how to ask a question.
Staring at the photo and thinking for a while, he said again: "How about... get me another photo of Dick Cheney?"
"After all, he is half of his student, so I have to remember it."
"What?" The future governor was a little puzzled, he felt that Roland's behavior was a little strange.
But after looking at Roland twice, he was defeated by Roland who showed his entanglement.
In his view, Roland, who decided to invest in Gilead's abyss, wanted to remember these people firmly. If the same thing happened to him in the future, he would recall this memory and make himself act cautiously.
So, he agreed to Roland's proposal.
Not only that, in order to solve this problem earlier, he asked his assistant to bring photos of people from this department along with him.
And when Roland was holding Dick Cheney's photo, his expression became even more ferocious. He glanced at the Bush father and son placed on the coffee table. Roland really couldn't figure out why he would say nothing Familiarity with the person whose name?
But when he was struggling to scratch his head, he flipped through the photos and suddenly saw a black figure.
When he found out that the name marked on the photo was Colin Powell—
Roland's eyes widened instantly!
Arranging the photos in a row in a hurry, when those guys were all together, Roland almost jumped up from the sofa!
'Hold the grass! ! '
‘Isn’t this special person the one who led the washing powder incident! ! '
Roland recognized them!
Roland recognized all of them!
Black Colin Powell is the United States Secretary of State who will explain the reasons for attacking Iraq at the UN Security Council with the mass destruction called washing powder by Mao Xiong in the future!
And that Dick Cheney of the Mediterranean is the VicePresident who promoted the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq!
And during the War on Terrorism in 2001, he directly used nine kills at the press conference!
'Hold the grass! Will Henry Rumsfeld leave Gilead? '
‘How did Gilead develop? '
Roland was extremely confused again, but the next second, he slapped his forehead and woke up suddenly!
'No! What I need most now is not to guess Gilead's development path at all! '
' Instead, find a guy who can endorse "Black Hawk Down" and let Sony invest! '
‘Now, no one is more suitable than this group of people! '
Thinking of this, Roland suddenly felt that his brain became extremely clear!
All the layouts that are still scattered into groups seem to be connected by lines, one link after another!
According to Roland's plan, Sony would first vote for Ang Lee, who has a "crooked butt", and then shoot "Black Hawk Down", which will be released at a fixed time, stirring up public opinion and promoting the war on terrorism.
The next step is to use the iPod to block Sony's market share in portable music devices.
Then came the XBox, and Blizzard Entertainment cooperated to occupy the market of Sony games.
Not only that, but they also recruited the old man who was already dissatisfied with Sony, and asked the Jewish gang to reject the project of Sony Pictures Entertainment as much as possible.
In this way, it will be a three-sided attack, and Sony's cash cow will be hit hard!
Immediately afterwards, when America fell into the quagmire of the war on terrorism, the correctness of the war was questioned both at home and abroad, and after anti-war sentiment spread across the country, Sony was blamed for interfering in America's internal affairs, stirring public opinion, and promoting the war.
In this way, Sony must die!
But the problem is that there are two problems in this plan.
First, Roland, who put Sony pigeons on "Spider-Man 2 and 3", couldn't think of a reason why Sony would not reject him and invest in "Black Hawk Down"; second, even if Sony was killed, Roland is also thankless, because in addition to helping the Jewish gang eat Sony Pictures Entertainment, he can't share the cake left by Sony after his death.
Trying my best to kill a Fortune 500 company, but in the end I can't get the big head?
Isn't this a waste of time?
Available now!
All problems solved!
Roland was worried that Sony would not be willing to invest in "Black Hawk Down" led by him after seeing that he had released the dove?
It does not matter!
I will give you a reason why you cannot say No!
According to the normal situation, a film and television project first finds the capital and the creative team, but this time, I will first find the creative team!
I took the project of "Black Hawk Down" to Henry Rumsfeld and asked him to be the consultant for this film!
Is the former DefenseMinister enough?
It doesn't matter if it's not enough, pulling his student Dick Cheney!
Two ex-DefenceMinisters!
One of them also dominated the Gulf War!
And after he left office, Black Hawk Down appeared in the US military that crushed everything!
If they are not qualified, there is no one in this world!
Not only that, let DOD intervene in "Black Hawk Down" first, and then go to Sonya to invest. Would Sony dare to refuse?
As soon as the U.S.-Japan trade war started, DOD came to the door...
Sony wants to refuse, but he dare not refuse!
Because they can't figure out the intention of DOD!
Is this really just a movie?
Or test them if Sony wants to go against America?
If it is a real shot, then forget it.
But if it's a test...
Isn’t it dead if you don’t pick up?
What's more, even if the DOD said at this time that we really just want to make movies, does Sony believe it?
Don’t shoot early, don’t shoot late, but when the US-Japan trade war just started?
Instead of looking for Warner Bros., not Universal, but Sony?
You say it’s not a test, can we Sony believe it?
This is Yangmou!
Even if Sony knew it was a pit, they had to jump into it!
In this way, the first problem Roland faced before was solved.
And this first problem is solved, the second problem will not exist!
Before, the core contradiction of the second problem was that the cards were played but could not be collected.
Although "Black Hawk Down" was the key to stabbing Sony, the hand that stabbed it could only be the initiator of the war who had to divert conflicts in the face of domestic and foreign pressure! Only they can distribute benefits!
Apple, Microsoft, and the Jewish gang can share the cake because they are directly facing Sony, but Roland, who is hiding behind the scenes—
will only be ignored.
But now, after voting for Gilead and looking for the initiator of the war to act as a consultant for "Black Hawk Down"...
Although Roland is still behind the scenes, these people will never ignore him again!
What's more, the movie was led by Roland! Apple is the major shareholder again! Microsoft has a close cooperation with him! Only the people who have been deceived by the media do not know his relationship with the Jews!
In this case, he directly became the core connecting all parties!
It was Roland's people who dug holes for Sony!
The one who punched Sony was Roland's man!
It was Roland who made the knife that stabbed Sony to death!
And in the end, the hand that stabbed Sony to death was still Roland's man!
The whole world belongs to me, so how could this cake not be mine?
And I don't ask for much!
Apple can successfully eat Sony portable mobile devices, Microsoft can easily swallow Sony Computer Entertainment, the Jewish gang can get their most wanted Sony Pictures Entertainment, and he Roland...
is not a devil either.
Sony's most powerful semiconductor business, imaging products and mobile communications are handed over to those warmongers, and let them take them out for management. He Roland—as long as Sony Music Entertainment!
Interstellar Records can't develop?
Isn't it directly one of the world's three major record companies?
As for the price?
The money was paid to America in the end, so it’s up to them how much to bid, isn’t it?
Seven, eight, nine, one billion yuan is enough, no one dares to jump out and bid!
Because DOC will not approve their transactions! And this group of people who close the door and eat all they can eat will not allow outsiders to mess around!
Of course, the future is beautiful, but the present is cruel.
Because Roland doesn't know whether these guys are willing to be consultants for "Black Hawk Down".
However, when investing in Gilead to help solve the urgent situation, it should be no problem to ask them to name them, right?
And when Roland took the photos of these guys and joked about the project that Francis Coppola told himself at the end of the year before last year, trying to find out from Arnold Schwarzenegger, he got , an unexpected answer.
"A film project consultant?"
"Henry and Dick are not interested in entertainment."
"What? Black Hawk Down?"
"Oh! I think they'd be very interested in this!"
"They're already obsessed with winning the war and losing the vote! Now, they'll love it when they get a chance to film the Zipperton scandal!"
"Especially Henry!"
"He cheated George back then, and he was the one who did it when George went to the CIA. Unfortunately, he squeezed George out of the CIA, but the Ford he supported lost to Carter, and later in the fight for Reagan's deputy, he again Lost to George."
"If it wasn't for these things, how could he be in business?"
"Then watched helplessly as George, who was pushed out to the CIA by himself, became the commander-in-chief with Reagan's support!"
"He has always wanted to return to Washington, but he has no chance for the position of commander in chief."
"And George's son, now the governor of Texas, also wants to try it after Zipperton steps down."
"Dick, that's what his father left for him."
"For Henry, returning to Washington through Dick is a very real thing, a lot of maneuverability."
"If at this time, he goes to expose the old man who kicked out George, I think he will be very happy to deal with DOD, or in other words, he will be eager to pull Dick and let George know about it."
"I'm a producer?"
"I can't be a producer, but I can be an executive producer."
"No problem, you go to Francis first and tell him to take over "Black Hawk Down". After we return to California this month, I will help you find Henry. I know him very well, let alone you voted for Gilead now. Woolen cloth!"
"Okay, okay, let's talk about this first, oh yes, "Terminator 3"..."
"Am I also a producer? Okay, okay, then I will talk to James about this project..."
Although Arnold Schwarzenegger married Maria Shriver and walked into the White House through her, he is not a donkey member, but he is very close to the Bush family.
This is actually a very normal thing. After all, the tea is cold when people leave, and the lights go out when people die.
Compared with the power of the daughter-in-law's family, the Bush family actually gives people a sense of security. As for the donkey-elephant dispute?
Isn’t this thing just for fooling people?
Michael Bloomberg wanted to be the mayor of New York City, so he canceled his identity as a Donkey Party, and jumped to the Elephant Party openly, and when he participated in the presidential election, hey, he abandoned his identity as an Elephant Party and went to the Donkey Party to share Tickets go.
For capital, the fight between donkey and elephant is bullshit, and eternal interests are God!
As long as it allows me to see a bright future, I can be any person!
As a guy who wants to climb up, Arnold Schwarzenegger is also such a person.
After learning that Roland wanted to shoot "Black Hawk Down", all the shameful controversy was thrown away, because in his eyes, this was an effective way to strengthen his relationship with the Bush family.
As for "Terminator 3"?
Bringing up this series at this time is just relying on the identity of a middleman, wanting to eat both ends.
This kind of greedy behavior may make people feel shameless, but for Roland, it is the best answer.
He is not Arnold Schwarzenegger's own father, why should he help him go around?
If it is an ordinary project, then forget it, but "Black Hawk Down" is a sensitive topic that must be brought into the DOD. In this case, it is a problem not to get the tea fee!
Only by becoming a community of interests, will you not be afraid that the other party will turn around and sell your teammates!
Only by becoming a community of interests, can they move towards a goal!
What's more, using "Terminator 3" as a tea fee, for Roland, it is simply blood money!
Because the last thing he wants to change is Sony Music Entertainment!
After reaching a cooperation agreement, the two parties parted ways.
Seeing off the other party, when the door was closed, Roland, who was in a good mood, also took off his disguise and leaned directly against the door.
Looking at the chaotic and familiar guest room, his body trembled suddenly, the corners of his mouth were raised, his cheeks were smiling, and the unspeakable excitement wrapped around his body, and the unspeakable happiness burst out crazily!
"Hey hey..."
"Hehehe..."
"Hahaha…"
Roland didn't try to wipe the tears that gushed out with his hands. When the big teardrops dripped down his cheeks and fell to the ground, the splashed water melted into the carpet, leaving marks.
Walking slowly to the window, looking down at the boldness of everything made him extremely comfortable.
The star-like city can be grasped with one hand, and all the living beings running around are all ants.
"Ah power~ it's wonderful~"
"Sony San..."
"farewell."
Note: ①Without Rumsfeld, there would be no Gilead, what bird flu emergency funds flowed into Gilead, what FDA audit news leaked, what Merck sued Gilead, but his own lawyer gave perjury in court and was slapped in the face, Gilead There are too many bad things on the road of **** capital in the past two decades, and I can't finish it. ②I really have no water! The key to long-arm jurisdiction is to get things back after playing cards. Killing a company and strengthening others in the end, this is stupid behavior! As for dismantling opponents and raising oneself too bloody? Which company can grow safely and steadily? Capital has never been that if you divide my interests, we can coexist peacefully. You divide me one, I want two, you divide me two, I want three, and finally swallow you up.
