Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Longmeyer, please don't be so excited. We have no intention of driving you away from Universal Pictures. We just want you to calm down for a while."

Sanchos became nervous because the decision made by the board of directors did not include driving Longmeyer away from Universal Pictures.

If Longmeyer is really forced to resign because of this incident, then the good relationship that Universal Pictures and Lin Daoqiu have established may come to an end.

Although Universal Pictures will not fall apart even without Lin Daoqiu, the money earned by Universal Pictures and Lin Daoqiu each year has reached as high as 60% of Universal Pictures' annual profit.

If there is a super blockbuster, the ratio will reach an astonishing 85%.

Once it loses its cooperation with Lin Daoqiu, Universal Pictures will enter a period of recession starting next year, and its revenue will be cut by at least half and then half again.

So it's no wonder that Sanchos and Fernald had such horrified expressions on their faces when they heard that Longmeyer was resigning.

"Let me reiterate, I have no interest in working for the Neon People. If you want to be their grandson, that's your business. Don't get me involved. I'm here to solemnly inform you that from now on, I will officially leave Universal Pictures.

Resigned as president."

Unexpectedly, things would turn out like this. Sanchos looked at Fernald nervously. He knew that Fernald and Longmeyer had a good relationship, so he hoped that the other party could persuade Longmeyer to withdraw his life.

"Longmeyer, can you let Sanchos and I have a chat alone? It won't take long."

Longmeyer nodded, and then he left the office.

After Longmeyer went out, Fernald quickly looked at Sanchos seriously.

"If Longmeyer really resigns, Universal Pictures' revenue will plummet starting next year, which will definitely directly affect Panasonic Group's asking price for the acquisition of MCA."

Needless to say, Fernando and Sanchos knew this, so it was no wonder that he was so shocked when Longmeyer said he wanted to resign.

"Then what should we do? Panasonic insists on asking us not to add fuel to the fire. If we can't get Longmeyer to agree, then I'm afraid this acquisition won't be able to proceed."

Sanchos was in a dilemma and looked at Fernard, he couldn't think of any good solution now.

After thinking about it, the only way now is to stabilize Longmeyer first, at least to stop him from firing off cannons outside, but will he listen?

Although neither Fernald nor Sanchos could come up with a suitable solution, they decided to have another chat with Longmeyer.

"Where is the person? He ran away?"

Just when they asked someone to invite Longmeyer in, they were told that Longmeyer had left the company.

"This is trouble."

Sanchos already had an annoyed expression on his face.

If they had known that this was the case, they would never have come to Longmeyer to talk about this. At least their attitude at the beginning would have been very cordial and they would never have been too stiff.

But it's too late to say all this now. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get Longmeyer back now that he's gone.

"You really quit? From Universal? You're a lunatic."

After Longmeyer left Universal Pictures, he immediately went out to drink coffee with Lin Daoqiu.

"There is no way, they want me to shut up, and they also want to suspend me. In this case, there is no reason for me to continue to stay at Universal Pictures."

Longmeyer shrugged and didn't seem to feel any sadness about leaving.

But after staying at Universal Pictures for so many years, it is obviously impossible to say that Longmeyer has no feelings for Universal Pictures at all.

It can be said that Universal Pictures has been booming under his hands in recent years, and is about to surpass Paramount to become the largest film company in Hollywood.

But now everything has come to nothing, which makes Longmeyer feel a little sad.

"Without Universal Pictures as a partner, I'm afraid the days to come will be difficult."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu does not need to cut off his cooperation with Universal Pictures at all. He can continue to cooperate with the other party as if nothing has happened.

But once Universal Pictures changed its president, it was obvious that it could no longer cooperate with him as seamlessly as before, so Lin Daoqiu naturally wanted to cancel the cooperation with Universal Pictures.

This was not only an excuse for Longmeyer, but also a helpless move, because Lin Daoqiu simply did not trust anyone else at Universal Pictures.

"Actually, there is no need for you to end your cooperation with Universal Pictures. Although I am no longer here, I believe they will still rely heavily on your cooperation. After all, the alliance between the four companies still exists."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head. He obviously didn't take these into consideration.

"I have already decided on this matter. If Fox and Warner do not intend to continue this alliance, the worst they can do is go their separate ways. However, I believe that Alan Rade and Ashley are not such stupid people."

It is obviously impossible to make a lot of money just relying on them without cooperating with you, and it is very possible to even lose money.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu is not worried that Alan Laid and Ashley will leave the alliance after seeing that they are disconnected from Universal. It can only be said that these two people are too stupid.

"Well, since you have decided like this, I have nothing to say. I haven't taken a vacation for a long time. I plan to take my family out to have fun for the first half of the year, and then I will consider work after half a year."

"If you need my help in any way, just ask. We will definitely have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, I believe."

With Langmeyer's connections in Hollywood and his abilities, Lin Daoqiu didn't believe that any company would want to hire him.

Universal's loss of Longmeyer is definitely their loss, and there is no doubt about this in Lin Daoqiu's view.

Just as Lin Daoqiu suspected, Longmeyer's resignation set off a storm on MAC's board of directors.

"Can anyone tell me what happened and why Longmeyer resigned?"

Wasserman looked at Sanchos and Fernald seriously.

At the board meeting a few days ago, everyone passed a resolution to put Longmeyer on temporary leave for a while, but they never thought of kicking Longmeyer out of Universal Pictures.

Fernald turned his head to Sanchos aside, because he messed up this matter, so how could he explain to Wasselman that it was his problem.

"Longmeyer's reaction was too violent. He said that he was unwilling to work under Neon people. When we asked him to take a temporary leave, he misunderstood that we were going to fire him. I regret that."

Naturally, Sanchos will not take all the blame. At least Fernard, who went with him, will also take part of the blame.

"This matter has nothing to do with me at all. You were responsible for communicating with Longmeyer throughout the entire process, and it was you who angered him in the end."

"Don't you have any responsibility at all? Don't try to put all your responsibilities on me. This is impossible."

Fernald naturally didn't want to take the blame, so he and Sanchos quarreled directly in front of everyone.
