Chapter 58 57 Judge Others by Your Own Standards (Please Save and Read)

Chapter 58: Saving others by oneself (please collect and read)

In a luxury hotel in Rhode Island, a threesome is underway.

Sergey Hassenfeld is happily doing sports. He loves sports and sweats profusely every week even though he is almost forty years old.

The mother-in-law in the family has long lost her feelings. As she grows older, there are more and more frictions on the one hand and less and less on the other.

Everyone is playing their own thing now. If we cooperate, we will both benefit, and if we fight, we will both be hurt. As long as we don't take it home and quarrel with each other, that's fine.

While I was having fun, the phone suddenly rang.

Sergey frowned. Who the hell called him in the middle of the night? If he had something to do, he couldn't talk about it in the morning. He really had no sense.

But when he glanced at the phone screen, he immediately kicked the woman away from his feet, picked up the phone and quickly connected it.

"Uncle, what's wrong so late?"

The old voice of Hasbro CEO Alan Hassenfeld sounded on the other end of the phone: "Sergey, what's going on? Tell me what's going on?"

"What? What uncle are you talking about?"

"Just now, MGM announced the director of "Transformers"!"

"Huh? Shouldn't it be announced a long time ago? After delaying it for so long, they must have hired a big director, Spielberg? George Lucas? Or Ridley Scott?"

"Idiot, what are you dreaming about? It's Eric Cooper!"

Sergey Hassenfeld was stunned for a moment: "Who? I've never heard of this director. Wait, are you talking about Eric Cooper?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

"You're mistaken, uncle, how could he be a director? We talked and he graduated from UCLA. That school didn't have a film major. He studied finance."

The patience on the other end of the phone was obviously exhausted: "Sergey, do you think I will stay up in the middle of the night to joke with you?"

After being yelled at, Sergey broke into cold sweat and said hurriedly: "Uncle, don't be angry. I will contact MGM immediately and tell them this is a stupid decision."

"I will persuade them to change their decision. This is "Transformers", not a small movie for the rich second generation to fool around with."

"It's too late. You can't contact the Coopers, because even I can't. I want you to fly to Los Angeles immediately. No matter what method you use, you must change this decision, and you must do it quickly, otherwise Hasbro's The stock price will plummet.”

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm going now!"

"Oh, I hope this is just a misunderstanding."

Alan Hasenfeld's worries are not unreasonable, because the stock market has always been unpredictable. It can rise sharply because of a piece of news, and it can also plummet because of a piece of news.

This situation is especially obvious when the stock price is related to the movie industry. Hasbro's stock price can rise because of "Transformers", and it can also fall back to the starting point because of "Transformers".

The decisive factor in all this is the quality of the movie, and a 22-year-old young man, a second-generation rich man in the eyes of the public, who has never been exposed to film-related knowledge actually wants to direct a US$500 million movie. Make.

In the eyes of the public, this is as outrageous as asking a pig to pilot a spaceship.

There are not no talented directors, but those talented directors who have become famous often have worked hard for more than ten years behind the scenes.

What do you Eric Cooper have?

You only have one good father!

Moreover, just a few months ago, the stock market bubble caused by the Internet ended, and the general environment had just improved. This was the time when the ability to resist risks was at its weakest.

In this crisis-ridden environment, as long as there is a slight disturbance, it is guaranteed that those investors will run away en masse.

After announcing the "good news", the Coopers and his son went to rest separately. As for the phone, of course it was turned off. At this time, the king of heaven came and ignored it.

Early the next morning, Eric got on a flight to Park City, Utah, the opening day of the Sundance Film Festival.

If you go there, you might be able to find gold in the shit, and more importantly, you can avoid trouble.

As for dad, a veteran like him will have his own ideas.

The New York Stock Exchange ranked first among the world's stock exchanges in 2003, with a market value of more than 10 trillion U.S. dollars and is one of the world's financial centers.

At 9:30 am, as the market opened, a lot of attention was focused on the S&P 500 Index.

The so-called S&P 500 is a stock index that records 500 listed companies in the United States, covering various industries and fields, and Hasbro is among them.

The stock market crash has just ended, and now almost all stocks are in the process of slow recovery, with not much growth, but the trend is still good. After all, market confidence needs to be restored slowly.

On a market that is almost entirely green, only a few companies are showing red line charts, and Hasbro is the one with the most red lines.

Since that press conference, Hasbro's stock has been rising all the way, and tens of thousands of investors are staring at MGM and Hasbro, wanting to take advantage of this wave of dividends.

But the news in the early hours of the morning directly confused the market. MGM must be crazy to let a 22-year-old second-generation rich man who has never been exposed to the film and television industry become a director.

Many investors who were frightened by the stock market crash and were not determined have already begun to sell.

In fact, the psychology of these leeks is very simple. Hasbro's stock price has been rising for a while, and they have made a small profit. Now they have to sell it at a high price, at least they will make a profit without losing money.

If we wait until the situation becomes serious and the stock price drops to the limit, we will have nothing to cry about, and the army of homeless people will have to add a lot of members.

However, those who are selling now are timid, and most people are still in the wait-and-see stage. The general psychology of the public is that MGM sent the wrong message and will definitely correct it soon.

In Beverly Hills, the Cooper family welcomed an uninvited guest early in the morning. Sergei Hassenfeld came to the door.

Running all the way to the door of the villa, Sergei pressed the doorbell with some panting.

After waiting for a while, the babysitter opened the door.

"Is Mr. Cooper home?"

"Sorry, sir, who are you?"

"I am Sergei Hassenfeld, CEO of Hasbro, and I want to see Charlie Cooper. There is something important."

The babysitter shook her head: "Sorry, sir, Mr. Cooper fell ill and was rushed to the hospital last night."

"What!"

Sergei was confused: "Which hospital?"

"I don't know, maybe you should call him yourself."

Bang!

The door of the villa closed.

Sergey's face was disheveled. If I could contact someone, why would I use it to block the door?

The phone rang.

Sergey answered the call tremblingly, and an angry roar came from the other end: "Did you find someone? How was the negotiation?"

"Sorry uncle, Charlie Cooper fell ill. I think he might be angry with his son. I suspect that MGM is in chaos now."

"The one who talked to us from beginning to end was Eric Cooper. Charlie Cooper only showed up at the final signing. I think this may involve the power struggle between father and son."

The other end of the phone continued to rant: "Don't use your stupid brain to speculate. I want facts! I want facts! Find Charlie Cooper for me within one day and let him change this decision! The stock price has already started to fall."

"Okay, okay, I will, don't worry, uncle!"

"Shit!"

After hanging up the phone, Sergey threw the phone to the ground in anger. My legs are almost broken from running, and you are just yelling at me.

I have worked like a cow and a horse for you over the years and made so much money. What's wrong with making a mistake? Is there anything risk-free in this world?

But after venting his anger by cursing for a few times, Sergey could only continue to think of a solution. His speculation just now was completely based on himself.

Judging others by oneself, who would want to have an old guy on their head forever?

Dear readers, please...anything, thank you.

I will continue to drive these days, everyone must remember to follow up (⊙o⊙) Wow!
