New York, this is Time Warner's absolute home court, and anything that appears in the Big Apple City, as long as they want to know, there are almost no other possibilities, and when they have learned all the information, they immediately reacted secretly.

"Jeff, can you confirm the copyrights and projects in Wayne's hands?"

As the former head of Warner Bros., Kevin Tessulhara can be said to have brought Jeff Robinov into the position of CEO before leaving, so the two of them had almost no circles, and directly led the topic to the things they care about the most.

This time, Jeff Robinoff came to New York, nominally attending a high-level meeting at Time Warner. In fact, the main purpose was to discuss some of the situations he had discovered with his old boss so that he could make a better preparation plan earlier and better.

“Can be sure.”

Warner Bros. Ceo leaned against the sofa, nodding without hesitation at the cigar smell remaining in his mouth. He had listed a detailed report a few days ago. I believe the other party had read it more than once.

"Bruce and I and the elites in the company's marketing department have done an analysis." Jeff Robinoff narrowed his eyes and looked at the old boss opposite through the smoke. "Wayne's existing plan, and the adaptable copyright that has been exposed, may not be compared with the DC series, but the difference between the two may be the peripheral market. Now no one can guarantee how much value it can create!"

Whenever Jeff Robinoff thinks of the huge profits that are destined to create in the last two plots of "The Matrix", Jeff Robinoff feels his heart twitching. This is a circle of interests first. There are already many shareholders in the company who are jealous, but no one dares to express his ideas easily.

And this is just the "Matrix" series, and there is also a project about dogs, a project about gorillas, and the "Lord of the Rings" in the hands of the fat New Zealand man who is dormant in Jimmy's agency and constantly revising and editing.

According to Jeff Robinoff's detailed understanding, Wayne's early script framework has not been taken out yet. Not to mention those hidden under the water. "The Lord of the Rings" alone, a series that is known as the most difficult to adapt and the most difficult to be brought to the big screen, is so imaginative.

"Jeff, Wayne has taken the initiative to take a big step back in the DC series!" As he said that, Kevin Teshura frowned and shook his head. As soon as he thought of the young man who was busy filming in New York, he felt that he had no idea how to start.

After all, this is not an enemy, nor is it a small person who can be squeezed out if anyone wants to squeeze. The other party is an absolute companion who stands in the same trench with them. So this is different from those children walking on the street with treasures. The other party is a companion who holds treasures in one hand and guns in the other.

"So, at the shareholders' meeting, some voices came out."

With his eyes wide open, Jeff Robinoff looked at his old boss. "Someone proposed to completely acquire Greenberg Studio. Wayne's projects and copyrights must be packaged in Greenberg Studio. These are not secrets, and Wayne should have received news."

"This is indeed a solution, but it's very difficult..."

Nodding silently, Kevin Teshura also felt that this might be one of the best ways. In this way, there is no problem of whoever exploits whoever has the interest space. As long as the final acquisition can be formed, a win-win situation can be achieved.

Unfortunately, he knew that it was too early to file the acquisition case, and that young man was not a fool, how could he sell the things in his hands at a low price. Even if the young man was impulsive, the assistant next to him would prevent things from happening. They understood that the woman with an ordinary appearance and figure was actually the brain that controlled Wayne's entire wealth in one hand.

"Kevin." Jeff Robinoff saw that the other party was thinking about the possibility, and then he said the solution he had come up with. "Wayne's current success frequency is impossible to lack cash in his hand. The only thing that can move him is equity..."

"No."

Time Warner CEO shook his head and knocked on the table rhythmically with one finger. "I heard that Wayne has never lacked cash, but he has no intention of continuing to increase his holdings in Warner Bros. He would rather buy an animation studio to burn money than acquire Warner Bros. shares from the secondary market."

This is indeed unreasonable. Wayne's financial situation has always been too healthy and he has almost no debt. In addition to the early loan to the estate, there is also a loan from Wells Fargo to invest in Warner Bros., it can be said that he has almost no debt.

Compared with his work income and investment income, these two loans are obviously not enough. This situation is really rare among billionaires.

"No, Kevin, now is just a preparation period. I will talk to Wayne about this matter later." Jeff Robinoff took a big cigar and enjoyed the fragrance that filled his mouth. "You know, this kind of negotiation cannot be handled in a short time. The powerful female assistant next to him will definitely make plans to maximize his interests."

"You are so sure that he will talk to you about the acquisition?"

According to Kevin Teshura's analysis, with the other party's greedy personality, he would definitely refuse to be acquired without hesitation. Then he would come up with some projects every year and cooperate with Warner Bros. in the existing way. This will not only maximize the interests, but also firmly take the initiative.

Moreover, at least on the surface, Wayne has no intention of increasing his holdings in Warner Bros., and he will not be able to change his mind in a short period of time. He feels that the reason why the young man was willing to invest in Warner Bros. was just to completely tie himself to a giant and then gain the right to speak in the company.

In this way, more shares that seem hard to find in other people's eyes will not be very attractive to the young man.

"Who said he wanted to exchange Warner Bros. shares?"

It was not until then that Jeff Robinoff revealed his trump card.

Hearing his words, Kevin Tesuhara's eyes widened suddenly, and then slowly narrowed. He had already understood the meaning and began to unconsciously consider the feasibility of things.

"Tell me, are you sure he will be willing to invest in Time Warner? You know, Warner Brothers is Time Warner's most important asset. The nearly eight percent of the equity in his hands is already a member of the major shareholder, and it is enough to guarantee his rights and status."

"Wayne is not short of money, everyone knows this." Jeff Robinoff put away all his expressions and spoke seriously. "A man does not lack money, and what he pursues is his historical status in the industry, as well as more attractive social status and absolute rights!

Since the birth of "The Joker", he has been making steadily moving forward step by step, and none of us can help with this. But what about social status and absolute rights? Can the boss of a top three media group in the world solve everything?"

In the Hollywood circle of fame and fortune for decades, Jeff Robinoff has seen through human nature. In the process of pursuing fame and fortune in the circle, a man is also enjoying the material and spiritual enjoyment brought by fame and fortune. However, when material accumulation reaches a certain critical point, something that can stimulate their desires needs to appear.

Another very important point is that if Wayne can have more and more voice within the company or group, the benefits will only be greater for both of them.

The matter is very simple. Their interests are the same. The trust generated by mutual understanding and cooperation over the years is by no means formed with others in a short time. The young man probably knew very well. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will always stand on the same boat with him.

"Find some time, you go and chat with Wayne."

Kevin Teshuhara's fingers hitting the table suddenly stopped, and her eyes looked at Jeff Robinoff. "Whether you are indirect or talking directly, let him speed up the start of other projects in his hands and increase the weight of Greenberg Studio as soon as possible, so that I will submit a replacement proposal on the board of directors, and the probability of passing will be high enough."

After he figured out the benefits, he immediately started to make arrangements without hesitation. It was obvious that if Wayne could invest in Time Warner, he would be better to become the major shareholder of this media group, and his status would naturally be more stable.

"I'll take time to talk to him before leaving New York."

This incident only has greater benefits for Wayne, and Jeff Robinoff believes that the other party will not refuse. "Kevin, before this, you must first find a way to show the influence of Time Warner and the energy of a media group! Don't he want an Oscar Little Golden Man? Then try to give him greater social influence. The old people in the academy have very sensitive political sense."

“It’s very simple.”

Kevin Tesuhara laughed, suddenly stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of the entire North American political center.

"I said, it's very simple." He turned his head suddenly, with a smile full of good show on his face. "I hope our children will not be scared by my writing! Jeff, this year is 1996, and it's not a few days before November!"

Speaking of social influence, no one can understand more thoroughly than the helmsman of the media group.

When he heard this, Jeff Robinoff laughed. There has been a saying among the giant Warner Bros., that the reason why his CEO is stable and the company's performance has been rising year by year is mainly due to his good personal relationship with Wayne Greenberg and the unanimous interests of both parties.

He never raised objections to this statement, and yes, he himself agrees with this statement very much. Since the two sides have long been tied together, it will naturally mean that their position is more stable while gaining more voice for the other party!
