Chapter 936: The mastermind behind the scenes (4100+ chapters~)
From the beginning to the end, Phantom's opponents were not so-called whistleblowers, nor were they competitors who wanted to see Phantom Media collapse.
In Wu Jianye's heart, Phantom's opponent has always been just one, the federal government of North America!
Because all the previous problems can be dealt with by Wu Jianye, because no matter how these people make trouble, they will make trouble within the rules of the game. They cannot do the behavior of jumping through hoops. At the same time, Phantom is not worried about their jumping through hoops.
Behavior.
But if the opponent is replaced by the federal government, it will be completely different.
Because all the rules, for them, are only set by them to bind these companies, and the rules outside of jumping through hoops also belong to them...
Wu Jianye couldn't help but be afraid.
What Wu Jianye has to do now is actually to deal with all other threats before facing the final boss head-on. Only in this way can he deal with the final boss without any distractions.
"There are two things that need to be investigated now, that is, why did Universal do this? And who is the whistleblower?"
Today Wu Jianye finally returned to his estate in Beverly Hills, where he met Chen Hai and Xu Lun!
Of the two, Wu Jianye used it more easily.
The two of them are now in their thirties, and even Xu Lun, who has a bit of a temper, seems much more stable now.
"Director Wu, don't worry, we will find out with you within seven days!" Chen Hai promised.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "If seven days doesn't work, I'll give you three days at most!"
Linda only got seven days, but he still had to spare his hands to deal with Universal and the whistleblower, so he definitely couldn't give Chen Hai and Xu Lun seven days.
"In these three days, you ask for people and give money, but after three days I will come to you to ask for the results!"
"Understood!" Chen Hai thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in three days!"
Wu Jianye nodded.
Chen Hai and Xu Lun left the manor without delay and went to investigate, while Wu Jianye called Zhao Fei.
"Damn it, brother, you finally called. How is the matter handled?" Zhao Fei only knew that Wu Jianye came to North America to do something, but he didn't know what happened to Wu Jianye.
.
"Almost, but I probably won't be able to catch up with the premiere of "Eternal Night" in China. Then this matter will be left to you and Huang Jianxin!" Wu Jianye said.
The premiere of "Eternal Night" is about to begin, and Wu Jianye will definitely not be able to make it in time to return to China to attend the premiere of "Eternal Night".
"What?" Zhao Fei looked a little surprised on the other end of the phone. He has known Wu Jianye for so many years, but he has never seen Wu Jianye not attending the premiere of his movie!
"Is the matter so serious? Do you want me to fly to Los Angeles right away to accompany you? Although I can't help you much, it's always good to have someone around you at this time!" Zhao Fei said with some worry.
Sometimes, it’s like this. Everyone has various friends around them. Some friends may not be able to help you after something happens to you, but they can stay by your side as friends and listen to you.
Complaining, or drinking or something like that.
Such friends are actually very precious, because even if they can't help you, they can stay with you and let you know that you are not alone.
What is really sad is that after something happens to you, those people who tell you every day how good your relationship is are suddenly nowhere to be seen.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Don't worry, the matter has almost been solved, but the time is a little behind, but I can tell you, don't think that you will handle the premiere of the movie for me when I am not in the country.
In a word, this premiere is better than anything I would have done in China!"
When Zhao Fei heard what Wu Jianye said, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Don't worry!"
Wu Jianye didn't talk much to Zhao Fei. He just asked a few words about the premiere and then hung up the phone.
Not long after, Wu Jianye's phone rang again.
"Xiao Wu, there's quite a big fuss over there." The voice coming from the other end of the phone was a little old and had a heavy accent, but every word carried a lot of power.
"Why did I alert you? This is all a trivial matter. Didn't I report it to you before? I have prepared a backup plan for this matter!" Wu Jianye said with some excitement.
I believe there is no one in the country who is not excited after receiving this caring call from this old man!
Even Wu Jianye is no exception!
"Haha, news about you over there has been spread here in China, but don't worry, I have suppressed the news. I know you don't like people to know this." The voice on the other end of the phone was cheerful.
Smiling.
Wu Jianye thanked him: "Then thank you. In fact, this matter is quite troublesome. No matter what the final outcome is, the Phantom Group is definitely not under my own name. I am worried that some people will take the opportunity to cause trouble!"
Wu Jianye is not talking about North America here, but the country. The so-called trouble is actually because he is worried that some people will not understand the reason. Coupled with his personal problems, if it really spreads to the country, it will be better for him.
It was a very painful thing for Zhu Xian.
"Well, we all know that you can do what you want to do over there with peace of mind. Remember, we will always stand behind you!" The old man was indeed a bit old, and he just said these few words.
, you can hear a feeling of fatigue.
"Thank you, old man. Don't worry, there will be no problem on my side!"
"That's good. I won't talk to you anymore. If you need anything, just call me!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianye smiled.
Li Xiuming came over at this time, holding a cup of ginseng tea in his hand. When he saw a smile on Wu Jianye's face, he said with some relief: "I've been back for so many days, and this is the first time I've seen you smile.
!”
Wu Jianye consoled him: "I've been worrying you these past few days!"
Although Wu Jianye came to Los Angeles and did not return to the Beverly Hills estate, he still called Li Xiuming. Li Xiuming had also gone to Phantom Media to see Wu Jianye before. Coupled with the media reports in North America during this period, Li Xiuming was very worried.
Worried about Wu Jianye.
Li Xiuming placed the ginseng tea in front of Wu Jianye and asked, "Is the matter resolved?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "Not yet, but soon!"
Li Xiuming nodded and said, "That's good. Xinxin knew you were back after school today and has been clamoring to see you!"
Wu Jianye stood up immediately and said, "My precious daughter is out of school?"
Li Xiuming glanced at Wu Jianye angrily and said, "Yeah, you didn't even look at what time it was, but I knew you had been busy in the study, so I didn't let Xinxin in. At this time, you were getting angry with me.
Woolen cloth!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Then I have to go and coax my precious daughter!"
After laughing, Wu Jianye walked out of the study and saw Wu Luoxin sitting on the blanket, playing with his toys out of boredom!
"Xinxin!"
Wu Jianye shouted happily.
"Humph!" Wu Luoxin turned around proudly, facing away from Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye walked over with a smile on his face, faced Wu Luoxin, and said, "Who made our precious princess angry?"
"Daddy, he promised to pick me up from school when he comes back!" Wu Luoxin said dissatisfied.
Li Xiuming also walked out at this time and said, "Didn't mom just tell Xinxin that dad is too busy today?"
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Yes, dad did something wrong today. He promised to pick up our little princess, how could he not go? Dad will never do it again next time!"
"Really?" Wu Luoxin raised his neck and asked innocently.
"Of course, if daddy lies to Xinxin from now on, he will be a puppy!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
In fact, children are easy to coax, and so-called adults should not put the bad mood caused by troublesome things outside on children. Children are children after all, and they cannot understand the difficulties of adults. In fact,
There are very few parents in the world who can empathize with the emotions of their children.
"Then daddy, play with toys with me!" Wu Luoxin's anger went away as quickly as it came!
Wu Jianye naturally had no objection.
At this time, we suddenly fell into a strange and calm atmosphere. Now everyone is speculating about the ending of Phantom, which has become the hottest news in the United States. With Barry Winkler being relieved of all his duties, Wu Jianye's
The issue of identity has also been brought to light.
In other words, everyone now knows that Wu Jianye is the boss behind Phantom.
There are people protesting, there are people marching, there are people waiting to see the show, and everyone has their own agenda.
There are those who are on the front lines and charge into the battle, and there are also those who are wily and scheming behind the scenes.
Of course, there are worries too!
But when all these external factors converged and exploded, Wu Jianye stayed at home and played games with Wu Luoxin.
I believe that if outsiders knew about this, they would definitely be shocked.
On the second day, Wu Jianye was even in the mood to send Wu Luoxin to school.
At the school gate, after Wu Jianye waved goodbye to Wu Luoxin, he received a call from Linda.
"Now many media want to contact you and conduct interviews. I think it is better to leave this kind of thing to ourselves, so I think we should do an exclusive interview on the ABC TV network?" Linda said: "This way
Can it also appease the people within the group?"
Nowadays, this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and people within the group are panicking. No one knows if their boss will be their boss when they wake up the next day!
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "Do nothing now, let everyone work normally, and wait until three days to deal with everything!"
Wu Jianye is waiting now. He wants to know why Universal did this. At the same time, he wants to wait until Chen Hai and others find out who the leaker is!
And he is also taking this opportunity to conduct a general cleaning within the group and clean out those who have other ideas from the group!
Linda on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and said, "I think I already know what Universal Pictures' purpose is!"
...
Global Headquarters!
The president of Universal Pictures was sitting in his office at this time, holding a cigar flown from Cuba in his mouth, with a very satisfied expression on his face!
Because of Wu Jianye's pair of butterfly wings, the president of Universal is not the person from another time and space, but a white man named Cameron Black.
Cameron Black was once an executive at Universal, and later became the president of Universal Pictures through a series of operations.
As the president of Universal, Cameron Black already knows. Now Panasonic has no intention of taking care of Universal Pictures anymore. It is negotiating with the French Vivendi Group. Vivendi wants to acquire Universal Pictures, but Panasonic still has no intention of buying it.
There is a glimmer of hope.
The action against Phantom Media was actually the work of Cameron Black!
"What's going on with the Phantom?" Cameron Black asked with a victor's smile on his face.
Cameron Blake's assistant replied: "No news has come out today!"
Cameron Black smiled and said: "Don't worry, the most important thing for us now is to keep an eye on Oceanwide Cinemas and ask you to contact the shareholders of Oceanwide Cinemas. How are the contacts?"
Cameron Black's assistant shook his head and said: "Last night, we contacted the other party. The other party was very cautious and did not agree to our request. They have also sternly rejected our application to acquire their shares!"
Oceanwide Cinemas is not fully controlled by Phantom Media, and its shareholders include Linda's mother and the Johnson family.
In Cameron Black's view, the reason why Universal Pictures' development has been very unsatisfactory in recent years is because they have never really had a fully controlled theater chain in their hands.
After Cameron Black took over, he set his sights on Oceanwide Cinemas, the largest theater company in the United States. However, Phantom Media was too powerful. Not to mention him, Vivendi was preparing to acquire Universal.
Groups are no match for Phantom Media.
So Cameron Black is troubled!
But this kind of distress became no longer distressing after a woman found him!
Because he saw the only weakness of Phantom Media!
As long as the federal government files an antitrust lawsuit against Phantom, they will have a chance to get Oceanwide Cinemas!
"Humph, then there is no need to contact them. Just wait. Since the Phantom can wait, we can also wait. When the federal government sues them, this will be our chance!"
.......
"This is also the news I got from my mother this morning." Linda said.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said: "Since the other party has contacted your mother, it means that the other party must have also contacted old Johnson?"
Linda said: "It should be!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianye did not call Johnson Sr., nor did he call Johnson. Instead, he drove directly back to Beverly Hills Manor.
But when he drove back, he saw Johnson's car...
Three days later!
Chen Hai and Xu Lun also came to Beverly Hills Manor.
