After Gao Xian reconnected with Patricia Hearst, in order to satisfy Miss Hearst's curiosity, he evaded the important points and said something about his meeting with mark rich.
"Mark Ritchie is facing the tax evasion charge of the federal justice department, but he believes that this is the prelude to the Justice Department's investigation of his quietly violating the ban of the US government and helping Iran do oil business. Therefore, mark Ritchie has made the worst plan and is using his contacts everywhere to protect his huge assets in the us to the greatest extent."
Patricia spat out her tongue in surprise. "Mark rich's shares in 20th Century Fox alone are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Once frozen, the loss will be great."
"You clearly remember that mark rich has such a large asset. It's not hard to imagine how difficult it is to deal with it." Gao Xian joked, "The best result is to sell it as soon as possible. Even if the money can't get into mark Ritchie's account to make up for the tax evasion gap claimed by the Ministry of justice, the problem is, who doesn't know well who can afford such a huge asset? Who is willing to take unnecessary risks at the level of law and justice?"
"So, mark rich is going to be in a desperate situation?" Patricia asked subconsciously.
"That's not true. It shouldn't be a problem for mark Ritchie to get out of the body." Gao Xian replied leisurely: "after all, mark Ritchie is not fighting alone. His business that makes the federal government think that it is treacherous is not just helping Iran with the oil business, but also involving many collaborators, especially the Jewish forces."
Patricia nodded suddenly. "No wonder, although Denise rich looks worried, she is still calm. I think she and her children will not be involved."
"Denise Ritchie is really not a simple woman, showing the minimum quality that a celebrity should have." Gao Xian, deeply convinced, pointed out: "in the future, if Denise Ritchie comes to you, there is no need to avoid it, just tell me about it."
Patricia accepted with understanding and turned to ridicule the Hearst family newspaper business competitors, saying: "by the way, the couple of Murdochs are very interesting. They beat around my paramount director and want to find an opportunity to visit paramount and contact the senior management of paramount."
"In addition, I heard a rumor. I don't know if it's true. Medor intended to take a stake in Warner media, but Steve Ross refused."
"Murdoch is really attacking in all directions." Gao Xian smiled, "he wants to come to paramount to inquire about the most direct information, but it's not impossible. After all, from No. 10 Downing Street, we have a lot of common language, but we can't do it until Paramount's rectification is completely completed."
In terms of volume, paramount at this stage must be far inferior to the Gulf western company, but its various complexities are not inferior. Then, after it becomes equal to the Gulf western company in status, it just lays a necessary foundation for rectification.
In short, capital alone is not enough to control paramount. We must also consider the intrigues within the company and the more complex relations among various forces in Hollywood. In particular, the latter makes paramount very different from the Gulf Western companies that can become a kingdom.
For example, under the pressure of the declining market after the golden age of Hollywood has gone, paramount and universal pictures have jointly established a company to deal with the film distribution business in the global market outside North America since the 1970s. Then Shang Huahua from Xiangjiang joined in to help develop the Asian market. Later, MGM also came to make up for it.
For another example, due to the company's history and personnel, for example, Leonard Gordon son, President of ABC, was born in paramount before being dismantled by the Anti-monopoly Act, and Barry Diller, current CEO of paramount, is from ABC. So far, Paramount's TV program production business is related to ABC, one of the three major broadcasting networks in the United States It is not too much to describe as the Royal TV program production team of the American Broadcasting Company.
In the past, Gao Xian mainly exerted practical influence on paramount through movies and video games, but now it needs precise control.
According to the business scope, paramount is divided into five parts: film, television, record, publishing and others, and the first part to be sorted out is the other parts regarded as non main business.
This piece contains a lot of content, including film library authorization management, high-quality property income such as Madison Square Garden, peripheral development of paramount theme park, home video tape, video game adaptation authorization, and other investment rights, which are regarded by Gao Xian as very important and must be directly grasped in his hand, led by Patricia Hester The head's management team stared, and the reason given was to stabilize the main business, including film. In case of failure, the company's financial situation would fluctuate violently.
Accordingly, for the four major parts of film, television, records and publishing that are designated as the main business, Gao Xian has fully delegated power to professionals in their respective fields, and is equipped with a president and vice president specializing in their respective positions.
As for Barry Diller, the CEO of paramount group, his work has always been focused on film and television, especially television, which seems to have become Barry Diller's ideal career, so that it gradually appears. If paramount can't make more substantial achievements in television, Barry Diller will have the sign of finding another job, that is, Gao Xian has foresight, Cleverly pacified the man.
After this rectification, the company name has also changed. It used to be paramount pictures, that is, Paramount Pictures; Now it is paramount communications, namely paramount media; Of course, most people watch the excitement, rarely spend their time to distinguish the differences, and basically use the customary name of paramount.
However, Paramount's management is clear about Paramount's ambition after the name change.
It should be noted that Barry Diller, as the CEO of paramount group, basically did not participate in this series of adjustments because Gao Xian gave him a task.
Don't you always encourage paramount to build the fourth TV network in the United States, which is almost impossible. OK, I have turned paramount into a completely independent individual now. Go and investigate now and make a feasible plan to buy TV stations.
In fact, as early as the mid-1970s, Barry Diller strongly encouraged Charles bludorn, the boss of the Gulf Western Industrial Company at that time, to establish the so-called fourth television network in the United States.
At the beginning, Charles bludorn promised happily, but after asking professionals for accounting, he found that after the TV network was put into operation, the advertising revenue could not make up for the deficit of early investment, so he calmed down and resolutely repented.
At that time, Barry Diller was very depressed, but he had no choice but to bear it; Now there are new changes in the development situation of the American television industry, and Barry Diller's mind began to move again.
So, as soon as Sir Gao let go, Barry Diller happily went to investigate and ponder the feasibility of buying TV stations.
When Paramount Pictures changed its name to paramount media, Barry Diller just came back with the results.
Gao Xian didn't read this document immediately, but asked a question very solemnly, "Barry, after this period of practical investigation, you must have a further understanding of the operation difficulty of establishing the fourth American TV network."
"So, have you ever asked yourself, do you want to build the fourth American TV network yourself, or do you want to have a national TV network you can manage?"
Barry Diller looked puzzled. "Why did Sir Gao ask?"
Gao Xian patted the document submitted by Barry Diller and replied leisurely: "from a commercial point of view, many failure cases in the previous 20 or 30 years show that it is too difficult to successfully establish the fourth American television network. It is better to explore the possibility of acquiring American broadcasting companies. Although the cost is higher, it is at least a little predictable."
"After all, today's ABC is developed from the paramount United theater after paramount was dismantled by the Antitrust Act. Leonard Gordon son, the current president of ABC, is an executive of the old paramount. It's time for him to retire and consider the future of ABC."
