Has not known how long, in office deep attachment quan an inexplicable warm dark aura, the Kelly Haynes stance quiet and refined was also sitting in the desk opposite, in the hand takes the pencil basis the memory to help Eric supplement the collection of music scores a moment ago, occasionally replied issue that the opposite man asked. <\;=,
Regarding Eric on 《Los Angeles Times》 discovered in the morning Ron Perelman buys up the Firefly Group bond the matter, the conclusion that Katzenberg or New York Chris gives does not need to worry that held Buffett of similar viewpoint also specially to give Eric to hand over a detailed personal letter, attempt has made him feel at ease.
Because has many precedents, the Ron Perelman thoughts are not difficult to guess that this The Wolf of Wall Street is very possible to want with the aid of the wind that Firefly domestic reform Animation Department causes to dial, makes use to unite other creditors to move into Firefly Board of Directors, gains the director quota, participates in the management and management decision of group.
If longer-term considered that this is also only the first step of Ron Perelman plan.
After entering Firefly Board of Directors successfully, Ron Perelman needs to wait for is Firefly management bitter experience difficult position that moment.
The film and television media are always the risk very high profession, although Hollywood fluctuates after hundred years, as before is that several big Film Studio. But in fact, these Film Studio masters do not know that has replaced many, each Film Studio because of the movie unfavorable situation bitter experience bankruptcy predicament, the original masters possibly initiative or is forced to give it to next.
After current bond issuance completes, Firefly Group debt will achieve 10 billion USD, according to various interest computation formulas of different bond, the aggregate amount estimate that repays finally in 15 billion USD about. According to the bond time limit of average ten-year, Firefly Group the average every year debt disbursement needs 1.5 billion USD afterward. Naturally, this is only the gross data . Moreover, although looked like this digit has even surpassed the Firefly beforehand several years of profits for the year. But in fact, grows according to Firefly Group every year market value and earning anticipated, as well as the complex tax affairs reduce the system, this expenditure will not become the burden of Firefly Group.
However. All these premise, that is the Firefly operating results continuously upkeep.
However, in the ideas of all industry sources, a media group centered on film and television service. To maintain stable performance level is almost impossible. Perhaps in the future 1-2 years the failures of several big manufacture movie or TV series, possibly cause the finance of Firefly Group to become serious . Moreover, the domino effect that in the situation in ‚railway engine’ underpowered, forms will also create other services the low. And therefore forms the vicious circle.
Ron Perelman waited for that is that time of future.
Once Firefly Group bitter experience difficult position, the creditor can flaunt is protecting own fund security the banner, trades the committee and Firefly Board of Directors to the federation proposed that the debt transfers shares of stock the request, is turned into the Firefly Group master by this by the creditor.
In the original space and time, carries huge debt Metro Goldwyn Mayer more than once to pace back and forth by the edge that the creditor changes from guest to host.
From the Buffett personal letter, this vision sharp investment big shot analyzes Ron Perelman to attempt to launch this attack, biggest depending on likely is unites Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation Department to exert pressure to the Firefly shareholder together. Buffett indicated that if were he has not seen that night material, huge profit that because «The Lion King» anticipated will create. He will judge Eric not to count at all costs to preserve absolutely safe of Disney Hand-Drawn Animation Department, but this also possibly coerces to join the Board of Directors chip for the creditor.
However, since Eric had every reason determination to reform Disney Animation Department, the coercing chip that Ron Perelman depends on does not establish from the beginning. Buffett also sincere in words indicated that even if has other conditions, Berkshire Hathaway steadfastly will also stand this side Eric, and can provide help maximum limit.
Read several documents, Eric looks up to Kelly, asked: „Buffett believed you to look?”
Kelly shook the head, the doubts said: „How?”
„You have a look first.” Eric has handed over the Buffett personal letter.
Kelly read the content on letter paper rapidly, ponders the moment, said: „I thought that does not have the issue, Buffett said very reasonable.”
„I do not refer to this. You look at last.”
Kelly last will read, the attractive eyebrow is slightly pressed, thinks, said: „Buffett promised that Berkshire Hathaway will stand Firefly firmly, as if no any issue, I thought that this is very good matter.”
„Will pursue the maximization of profit to turn into the Basic Instinct individuality according to Buffett that type. You did not think that this promise was too generous?”
Kelly smiled, said: „Eric, you were terribly suspicious and fearful, I thought actually Mr. Buffett such does, more possible settles on your ability, wants to draw Berkshire Hathaway to work as the successor you, hehe.”
Listened to Kelly the joke, Eric also to smile, no longer intertwined this issue.
Glanced over several materials completely again fast, Eric has thought suddenly this morning was put the matter of pigeon by Peter Schneider, gained ground to ask: „At today's high-level regular meeting did you see Peter Schneider?”
Kelly said: „No, he and Roy Disney shouldn't arrive at you?”
Eric knit the brows, said quickly: „Kelly, helping me inquire their whereabouts?”
Kelly notes Eric suddenly becomes the serious look, said: „Now?”
„Yes, now, immediately.”
Kelly nodded, puts out the mobile phone and address book, turns looks is starting to telephone.
Eric takes a pen, has written Firefly Group and Disney Animation Department, Ron Perelman, Chris, Buffett, David West wait/etc. information on a scratch paper fast, and connects with his commonly used line the relevant word, has formed a standing net quickly.
This standing net middle blank, had filled in another word by Eric quickly.
How long, Kelly then has not put down the telephone, said to Eric: „Personal call of their cannot make a connection, I only inquired that Peter Schneider and Roy Disney went to New York, the special details are not quite clear.”
Eric hears New York, understood basically, said: „Did not need to look up, they definitely were see Ron Perelman.”
Kelly thinks immediately these two management see the Ron Perelman intention, asked: „That present what to do?”
The Eric smiling face becomes somewhat mysterious. Said: „This actually a good opportunity of titing for fat.”
Kelly is somewhat bewildered, Eric continues saying: „Tomorrow is the 《Charlie's Angels》 premiere?”
Kelly recalled under the Eric schedule, asked: „You did not say that did not plan participated?”
„Goes, must go. Moreover everybody goes together,” Eric has patted the tabletop gently, said: „That three still in Los Angeles old man, New York Chris, making him also fly tomorrow. Un, Katzenberg and Michael Lynn......”
Thinks that Eric has not continued a adding people.
Several people who just mentioned are the Firefly Group close related benefit community. The Buffett three people of shareholder status needless saying that Chris absolutely is also trustworthy, Katzenberg is Firefly next CEO, if he is untrusty, Eric does not need to continue to play in Hollywood. Although final Michael Lynn will soon leave job, but he similarly is the Firefly Group young shareholder.
As for other high levels, Eric cancelled temporarily has informed their thoughts, the person who something that after all in the heart figured out knew the fewer the better.
Oh. Probably also has an insider.
The initial that article about 2D Animation profession analysis, Eric requested the assistant office different staff members to collect the different information specially separately, the final compiling work was Kelly is completed personally, therefore also only then she happily sneaked a peek at ‚evidence chain’ complete picture. Moreover, Kelly takes the status of Eric first assistant, is their present intimate relations, Eric does not want to exclude her.
Eric looked at eye front Kelly Haynes, said with a smile: „You together will also come, to watch the movie tomorrow, everybody chats together.”
Kelly also realized at this time. Tomorrow only will not look absolutely a movie is so simple, definitely also has any matter soon to occur. However, Eric this trust without hesitation also lets in her entire person heart warm.
„Do I inform them first?”
Eric shakes the head, said: „These telephones are I hit personally. You helped to prepare several opening ceremony invitations to be OK. Moreover, tomorrow do not forget to send a vehicle to meet Buffett they, has Buffett, three old man definitely do not hate to spend, if they ride the rental car to appear outside red carpet, I may unable to throw this person.”
„Hehe. Good.”
