"So, you come to the Global MCA with Ron, and I promise you all the conditions. That's it. The negotiation has been delayed for too long, and we will finalize this matter today."

"Ha, Edgar, today is a really good day. Come on, Ron, let's celebrate with champagne..."

Orwitz was very happy and told Ron Mayer to open champagne. Mayer went to the refrigerator without saying a word to get a bottle of Cook champagne for 1985 that had been prepared.

This wine is different from Princess Louis Crystal Champagne or Dom Perignon, which is often used in Hollywood celebrity parties. It is more suitable for celebrating in business occasions. It was also prepared by Orwitz for this negotiation.

"Tchin-tchin!", Bronfmann, a little toast in French, is the official language of Montreal, Quebec, where Seagram made his fortune.

"Tchin-tchin!" Orwitz and Meyer were not used to toasting in French for a while, but they were both agents and they quickly adjusted and everyone was in a happy mood.

"Mary, prepare a memorandum, I will announce important things to everyone tonight... In addition, a party will be held in the evening, and all employees can come to attend. Prepare the catering according to the highest standards of celebrities. I will not have the chance to party with them.

There are too many."

After sending Bronfman out and getting into his luxury car, Orwitz told the secretary to prepare and to go with Meyer to say an informal farewell to all the CAA employees in the evening.

The news reached the office outside, and most of the partners, known as the "Young Turks", smiled, especially through the relationship introduced by Richard, who had obtained a number of different bank loans. I saw that I could pass it again.

One day, many years of dreams will come true, and become a formal partner with shares. They all happily return to the office and start making phone calls.

However, the more understated employees, that is, ordinary agents who occupy the vast majority of CAA, were worried. They were not notified that Orwitz would announce anything, but they were related to various recent rumors.

Everyone felt that it was probably Orwitz was leaving.

The main difference between these ordinary agents, trainee agents, and those young Turks is that they have not signed a real Hollywood star.

Their further opportunities in the CAA, or the broker industry, actually rely heavily on Orwitz. Or their current agents were brought into the packaging agreement for the next big production by Orwitz.

, and then become famous in one fell swoop. Or Orwitz made them become junior agents of a certain star in regular rotations.

If Orwitz leaves, will the big studios still be the same as before? Relying on and fearing CAA in this way is a question mark. After he leaves, CAA's current big star clients will definitely become many agents.

"Fethical" territory, there will undoubtedly be much less opportunities for celebrities to rotate their agents.

"Hey, they've reached an agreement."

Richard was holding the phone receiver in the office, his voice was a little depressed. Of course, if the caller was Ronald Orwitz, if he had negotiated with Bronfman Jr., he and Mayer would be the new Global MCA

CEOs and deputys, just like their roles in CAA.

At that time, with Universal Pictures' resources, although CAA is no longer in Orwitz's hands, Richard and others will still be subject to a considerable degree of constraints. Not to mention that they will become Orwitz's Party B, Richard

De could imagine that at that time Orwitz said to him, "You won't do well after I leave."

This ending is definitely not what Richard wants, although within CAA, he can indeed become one of the most powerful partners.

"Well, is Bronfman Jr. still in the office?" Ronald suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Ah? He was not here. He had left the office before Orwitz announced to us that he would hold a plenary meeting tonight, and Mayer walked with him." Although Richard didn't understand it very much, he was still very detailed.

Answered Ronald's question.

"Then there is a biography. Hold on. I have to make a few calls now. I guess you will hear new news within three days." Ronald hung up the phone and picked up a new phone

, sent a text message to the only number in the address book "?"

In the lobby of the hotel where Bronfman is staying, Ron Mayer had just sent his future boss to the lobby. He took out a new cell phone from his briefcase, checked the text message records, and found a place where no one was.

, called Ronald back.

"I heard that CAA will hold a plenary meeting tonight. Has the announcement been decided?" Ronald's voice came from his cell phone.

"Damn it, it's almost the same as you expected. Little Bronfman called his dad in the car. Although I didn't hear the call, judging from his expression and response, there must be problems.

He went back to his room and said he wanted to make a phone call.

Will there really be any change as you expected? I think it might take a 180-degree turn at night."

"Are you sure Bronfman Jr. called his daddy?" Ronald asked with a smile.

"It's certainly true. When he said daddy to the phone, I saw that his face was very bad, and I didn't seem to want me to see him next to him. So he hung up after saying a few words and asked to go back to the hotel again

call."

"That's probably the case. If you want to seize the opportunity, Bronfman Jr. still needs a deputy to do the daily management of the company."

Carefully put the second phone back into the briefcase, Ron Meyer took out a notebook from the bag, turned to one of the pages, and began to practice this with a rumor that might be the most important thing in his career.

Sales rhetoric, “Mr. Bronfman, Orwitz and I are not tied together…”

Over there, Ronald, who put down the phone, also began to write and draw on his notebook. The paper seemed to be a commercial territory of Hollywood. There were several circles on the outside, and there were the names of several large studios in the circle.

In the middle are two small circles marked with the names of O (Owitz) and M (Meyer).

He used a pencil to pull out a line with the circle with M and directly connected it to the large circle representing the world. Then he drew a fork to the line connecting the world to O.

Next, Ronald drew a line from the circle O, connecting it to the big circle representing Disney. He put down his pen, thought about it, and pulled another line to the big circle representing Warner Bros.

Finally, a question mark was drawn on the line connecting Warner and O.

...

"Mr. Bronfman..."

More than an hour later, Ron Mayer saw Bronfmann in the lobby again. The latter's handsome face showed a Jewish child doing small business outside, but he ended up making less money by bargaining.

The adults at home scolded him for not being able to do business.

Ron Meyer, who is also a Jewish, knows this expression very well. He often sees such disappointed eyes from his father who fled Germany to Ameriga in the early days of World War II.

"Ron, we have to go back to CAA once. I have to confirm some details with Orwitz again." Bronfmann, a little, seemed unwilling to look directly into Mayer's eyes, deliberately avoiding his inquiring gaze when he spoke.

"Of course, I'll call the driver now."

"Ron", he got into the luxury car that sent him, and Bronfman seemed to have regained some confidence. His father, Old Edgar, said that he did not interfere in his negotiations this time, but actually used this time and

Hollywood's toughest Orwitz's chance to negotiate alone, let him do some exercises within a controllable range.

Those conditions proposed by Orwitz are actually the other party's temptation. If you accidentally fight back against such an opponent, he will use your weakness and continue to weaken your strength with a greedy attitude.

The position, demands more interests, and gradually erodes the power and interests of the Bronfman family.

Although Bronfman, the younger brother, felt very embarrassed when the son showed up at the beginning, gradually, he also understood his father's intentions. This is when Bronfman takes advantage of this opportunity to teach his son step by step

How to do business in Hollywood.

Moreover, what moved Little Bronfman the most was that his father did not ask him to go back specifically and reject his negotiation results at the board of directors. Instead, he asked him to call himself as soon as possible after the talks so that he could avoid it.

My uncle won't give him the chance to say that his own is not.

In the group of Sigram, my father still wants to hand it over to him, and not give his brother any chance to use this matter to target him...

Old Bronfmann also taught him on the phone that Orwitz is a difficult opponent. Even if such a person needs to be used, he must design the system and personnel to check and balance him. He cannot delegate power with full trust...

Once such a person has the opportunity, he will definitely slowly erode the power of the Bronfman family in Seagram. If he takes the opportunity to carry out major mergers and acquisitions, then the equity of the Bronfman family will inevitably be

Weakening. Add to the 5% option he gave him five years later, combined with the dilution of this merger, Orwitz might threaten the capital of the Bronfman family. If he was given one or two more opportunities for merger

, At that time, who has the final say in Seagram may become a question.

For example, Disney is not long after its founder, Old Disney passed away, and his daughter and son-in-law were kicked out of Disney by his nephew, and his nephew could not beat the investors later. Ten years later, who can guarantee that Bronfman's uncle is bound to be

Will he be in the same heart as him? Old Bronfmann is not in good health and needs to be cultivated. All of these must be prepared for the future and handed over to his son slowly.

Old Bronfman is actually using a series of things to acquire Global MCA and hire Orwitz to be his son's whetstone, so that he can learn the heroes that the Bronfman family learned from the time of selling private wine.

The way.

Bronfman, the old man, also told his son that whether he could invite Orwitz was actually not the most important thing for Seagram. Learning how to control these talented people who work hard from the grassroots level in Hollywood is to Bronfman.

The most important thing.

People like Orwitz are used to being the leader. Moreover, since William Morris rebelled and built the largest agency in Hollywood from scratch CAA, the world's largest agency. For the new Global, it may not be the most ideal choice.

.

A capable senior manager who is still in the struggle is the ideal subordinate of Bronfman Jr. For example, if he was a member of the Disney family at that time and wanted to introduce external executives, he would definitely be

Choose Kasenberg instead of Eisner...

Thinking of this, Bronfman Jr. turned to Ron Mayer and said, "Ron, I think Michael (Owitz) may be dissatisfied with the new details I brought, but I don't have any of your terms.

I've also been doing a lot of good communication with you, and I think, you and Michael are not like Goubel and Peterson in Colombia, a package deal?

Ron Mayer was overjoyed. He didn't expect that before his words to promote his own sales, the other party had already handed over an olive branch. There was no change, that was, he had to go global as the second-in-command.

This is no problem for Ron Mayer. He has been working as a second-in-command for twenty years, and there is no one in Hollywood who is better at being a second-in-command than him.

"I think we still have to fight for it, after all, Orwitz may agree to your new conditions." Ron Mayer was about to surrender without any worries.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Very good, I have always worked for your offer, Ron. No matter what the result of the talks I went back this time, you will find an opportunity to chat with me again. Mine

Promise will not change within three days.”

The car soon returned to CAA, and Bronfman Jr. walked into Orwitz's office again in front of everyone.

He sat down with Orwitz and Ron Mayer. Bronfman, Jr., said quickly as his father taught him.

"We had to start the negotiations again and they wouldn't accept these terms."

"Hmph?" No matter how well Orwitz was in a state of upbringing, he was angry by Bronfman's rebellious behavior. The veins on the back of his hand were exposed. He suppressed his anger, took off his glasses and wiped them with a cloth.

After adjusting his mentality and tone, Orwitz replied softly:
