Speak of the devil.
As soon as Bix was mentioned, his phone call came.
Xiao Yunhai shook his phone and laughed, "It seems that Bix doesn't want to completely turn against us." Pressing the answer button, Xiao Yunhai said in a tone of condemnation, "Mr. Bix, why did you call me?
Is this a call to mock me? It doesn't matter if I'm stupid, but Marvel can't stand this insult. Sorry, I'm in a meeting. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. "
Xiao Yunhai's words and his expression were two extremes. His face was full of smiles, but his words were full of anger, like a volcano that was about to erupt. Even Zhao Wanqing had to give him a thumbs up for such acting skills and lines.
Bix was actually very annoyed.
This was a decision made by Steyr Networks without authorization, and Bix didn't know about it at all.
He had just talked to David Steyr on the phone, and in a fit of rage, he scolded him.
David Steyr didn't get angry, and explained that his head of publicity made a mistake.
During the meeting, he told him not to tell the outside world, but he heard that he should inform the outside world as soon as possible, so he released the wrong information.
If Bix believed such a reason, he would be a fool.
He originally promised Xiao Yunhai, but he unilaterally tore up the contract and gave Xiao Yunhai's things to his opponent.
Not to mention Xiao Yunhai, even if it was him, he wouldn't be able to stand it. He would probably even have the intention to kill someone.
He knew very well that David Steyr did this to draw a line between him and Xiao Yunhai, and make them irreconcilable. But he was too wronged.
Because of this license issue, he lost the opportunity to get the amusement park, and indirectly lost more than 30 billion USD. At the same time, he also had a reputation of not being trustworthy. With so many negative influences, he regretted agreeing to David Steyr's request.
If it was according to his usual temper, he would have fallen out with David Steyr long ago. But the cinema chain that covered Europe and America forced him to swallow his anger.
After the call with David Steyr, Bix thought for a long time about what to say before calling Xiao Yunhai.
Even though he was extremely wary of this young man, Xiao Yunhai, but to have him fight openly and covertly with Xiao Yunhai like he did with Steer Internet Company, that was somewhat unlikely.
"Mr. Xiao, I know this is my fault. I swear to you, I didn't know that Steyr Networks would do this. "
Xiao Yunhai sneered, "Mr. Bix, do you think I'll still believe you? Last night, you personally told me that the license couldn't be obtained because of China Central Television, but this morning, IMD announced that they had obtained the license. Hehe, we Hua Xia people value..... I've been toyed with by you these past few days, and I've become the laughing stock of Hollywood. What do you think I should do? "
"Time Warner is powerful, but I, Xiao Yunhai, am not a pushover. I can't beat you in Europe and America, but in Hua Xia, I have the ability to make sure you don't even have a place to stay. Mr. Bix, if you don't believe me, we can give it a try. "
Xiao Yunhai's family was Hua Xia's number one political family, the Xiao family. His grandfather was the number one, his uncle was a military commander, and his second uncle was a government official. This information was not a secret in Hollywood or even on Wall Street.
If he really used his family's connections to deliberately stop Time Warner from entering Hua Xia, Time Warner might not be able to withstand it.
Steve Bix had never been threatened by anyone for more than ten years. Even the President of America had to be courteous to him. He didn't expect to be scolded by a young man who could be his own son over the phone. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't angry.
But he also understood that Xiao Yunhai only said this for the sake of redeeming some face.
At the same time, he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Xiao Yunhai's anger was not a bad thing. It showed that he didn't want to be enemies with him. On the contrary, if Xiao Yunhai was still laughing and being polite to him at this point, then he really wanted to deal with him.
Bix suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Xiao, don't be angry. I still say the same thing. Time Warner has absolutely no intention of being enemies with you."
Xiao Yunhai said, "But your words and actions are very inconsistent. Forget it, anyway, there's no possibility of us working together in the future. If it's convenient for you, let's settle the contract issue as soon as possible. As for the Paramount Amusement Park that Hanks lost to me, I'll sell it to someone else. "
Bix said, "Mr. Xiao, do you really plan to sell Paramount Amusement Park? I don't know if Time Warner has the opportunity to do so. You know, there aren't many companies that can buy it. Time Warner happens to be one of them. "
Xiao Yunhai was immediately amused and said, "Mr. Bix, you're too good at doing business. You just screwed me over once, and now you want to screw me over again? Sure, you can buy it if you want. 110 billion USD, give me the money within a month. "
"110 billion USD? That's an increase of 20%, "Bix muttered.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Whether it's you or someone else, my price is 110 billion USD. The price is clearly marked, and I'm not cheating anyone. Even if Steer Corporation wants to buy it back, I'll sell it. In half an hour, we'll put this matter on the Internet. Whoever wants to buy it, bring the money in one go. If no one is interested in it within a month, then Marvel will run it ourselves. "
Bix thought quickly and asked tentatively, "Mr. Xiao, why did you leak this information to me?"
Xiao Yunhai didn't hide his purpose at all, and said straightforwardly, "Because Time Warner and Steer Network are too close. If you can buy the amusement park, you'll definitely compete fiercely with Steyr Networks. This is still very beneficial for Marvel. "
Bix obviously didn't expect Xiao Yunhai to speak so straightforwardly. He didn't hide his feelings in the slightest. After being silent for a while, he said, "Mr. Xiao, thank you for being so frank. About the amusement park, it's too big of a problem. I need to discuss it with the other shareholders, and I'll give you an answer later. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then you'd better hurry up. In half an hour, we'll put it on the Internet. If other companies contact us, I'm afraid you won't have anything to do with it. "
After that, Xiao Yunhai hung up the phone.
Christy laughed and said, "Boss, your words are so domineering. I guess Bix is really pissed off by you. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's good enough that I didn't scold him. Come, let's discuss the specific details together. "
In a luxurious villa in Los Angeles, Bix and Xiao Yunhai hung up the phone. His face was extremely ugly, and a surge of anger rushed from his lower abdomen to his head. His chest heaved violently, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
He had been the head of Time Warner for decades, and no one had ever dared to talk to him like Xiao Yunhai did.
Although he knew that there was a reason for this, he still felt extremely embarrassed that Xiao Yunhai didn't give him any face.
It wasn't easy to suppress his anger, and Bix began to call the shareholders of Time Warner.
Although he was a major shareholder of Time Warner, it involved a huge amount of funds of 110 billion, and even Steve Bix couldn't act arbitrarily.
Sometimes, he was quite envious of Xiao Yunhai. Without the constraints of his family and other people, he could do whatever he wanted, do whatever he wanted, and make decisions with a single word. Even if it was an investment of tens of billions or hundreds of billions, he had the final say.
As for himself, once the investment exceeded 10 billion dollars, he had to inform the board of directors. This made him, who had always been domineering, very unhappy.
