Chapter 1237

In Washington, Bronfman Jr. stood in front of the counting wall, stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, tossed and turned under the fluorescent light, and looked at it carefully without saying a word.

On the workstations behind, the busy phone rang no longer, and the subordinates sat there in a daze.

"Boss."

Doug Morris, president of Universal Music, walked in, biting the bullet and breaking the deathly silence.

"Uh...cough cough."

Bronfman Jr. cleared his hoarse voice due to his previous tantrum, "What date is the Senate hearing? Where is the vote?"

"The voting is scheduled for the 17th of this month, and the hearing will be on the 15th."

Doug Morris Probes "Shall I...Show Your Place?"

"no!"

He rebuffed, "How is the voting situation in the Senate?"

"It is estimated that the gap is even greater than that of the House of Representatives..."

After telling the truth, Doug Morris took a sneak peek at the boss, feeling that the other party's current mood was fairly stable, and took the opportunity to dismiss everyone else present, persuading, "Other record companies have given up on public relations, and they turned around... the rumor Warner Records, EMI, and Company B built their own online legal music sites to fight against our duet alliance with Sony Columbia and Quanmusic sites. Disney also acquired 30% to 40% of the shares of two Internet companies, Seek and Starve ..."

"Did I say that?"

After hearing this, Bronfman gave him a sideways glance, "The traitors in the American entertainment industry have finally surfaced, and they are Warner and Disney."

"..."

Doug Morris was speechless.

"Let's not talk about this first."

Little Bronfman held down the photos of congressmen pinned on the vote counting wall, and said domineeringly, "I don't care about the rest, no matter what, we have to teach these congressional politicians who ran votes immediately, they seem to have forgotten that this is the mid-term election." During the critical period, they must taste the bitterness of betraying the Bronfman family!"

Doug Morris swallowed, feeling bitter now.

"This, this, and this..."

Bronfman Jr. picked one by one, except for some congressmen who had indeed received donations and violated votes, including Rangel of the Donkey Party Black Party Caucus and Underwood, the Donkey Party House Whip. It's clear, it's time to settle the matter." He tapped his temple with his index finger.

"Are you going to..."

"Support their opponents, support them strongly."

"Now? This...isn't that good?"

Doug Morris wiped off his sweat, "Now is the critical moment before the impeachment of the Generalissimo and the election of the House of Representatives. 218 to 217, the two parties are only one seat away in the House of Representatives. We suddenly hit the donkey party politicians intensively. Caused a lot of misunderstanding and speculation, especially Underwood,

His post of party whip is very dangerous in this impeachment vote... He just bet his political life against the leader of the Elephant Party House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich, whoever loses will resign..."

"It's not just the donkey gang. Although there are a little more people, I didn't treat people right this time."

Little Bronfman twitched the corner of his mouth impatiently, cursing in a low voice, "Didn't they take my money? I spent more than 50 million in Underwood in damn Chicago and I can't see the situation clearly. Who can blame me?" I didn’t give them a chance... Don’t blame me for being cruel if you still insist on licking the asshole of that little black man. And Peter Flock, the governor will talk about it later, don’t worry.”

"They have maintained a cooperative relationship for quite a long time, and they have established trust in each other. The boss... this year's mid-term elections have too much hands-on involvement... The political future of the entire donkey party and the commander himself is now in the House of Representatives." Road. Gemoris continued to persuasion.

"I can't be humiliated and do nothing! Otherwise, what's the point of my hard work building such a big entertainment empire!?"

Bronfman Jr. raised his voice, "Will these politicians treat Murdoch, Redstone, the Warner family, Eisner, and the predecessor of Universal Pictures, Lois Thurman, the same way they treat me? If they don't kill some disobedient The member of parliament let them hurt, really think that I am some kind of second-generation ancestor who is easy to bully!?"

True words, but times have changed and the timing is wrong, Doug Morris shut up.

"Don't worry, with Liwei as the main purpose, I will still give them a chance, and don't do it too much. Properly, grasp the propriety... I have always been very clear about rewards and punishments, and I will vote against the Digital Millennium Act." MPs some rewards."

Little Bronfman seemed to know what he was thinking, and his eyes became cold, "Also, if you mess up again... the same reason, I am impatient to hear the news of failure again, someone needs to take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility for it .”

"The influence of the recording industry is not enough. We need Ron Meyer and Barry Diller. Hollywood and the media can play a bigger role in this matter."

Doug Morris quickly pushed the problem onto others.

"Of course, we'll have a meeting after I meet the Grand Commander tomorrow. Oh, by the way, we discussed a+ records and a+ movie studios. I remember that they have the distribution rights of several projects in our Universal Pictures hand?"

"seems like it."

"Father and son met with the commander in succession..."

The next day, Song Ya, who was in Italy, learned from public channels that he had heard the news that Bronfman Jr. and the commander-in-chief met at the White House. Ms. Long said, "Old Bronfman also actively and high-profile visited Jewish Senator Joseph Lieberman, media tycoon Redstone, Murdoch, Jewish bankers, and Hollywood Spielberg and David Geffen. Wait, what do the father and son want to do? The old guy is not easy to deal with."

"So what? They tried, and they failed."

Ms. Sloan was in a good mood, and replied in a brisk tone, "The probability of passing the Digital Millennium Act in the Senate is as high as 99%, and my mission is over. I will fly to Silicon Valley immediately. In return, Yahoo will transfer our new website The oendiary link is placed in the home page recommendation list."

The temporary counting wall in her office has been removed, and some of her staff are sorting out documents and packing them into cardboard boxes.

"Wow, you've worked hard hehe."

"Don't worry, even if this matter is over, the commander-in-chief will sign it soon after the Senate passes it, and it will be delayed until the end of the year at most."

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

"There shouldn't be too many twists and turns. We have also added the red flag principle. Not many companies will continue to firmly oppose it."

"But not including Universal... I have a hunch that Sloan, the narrow-minded rich third generation, will turn his attention back after his failure on Capitol Hill and continue to vent his anger on me." Song Ya said.

"What can he do with you? Don't be so nervous like a street singer."

Sloan half-jokingly said, "Don't worry about wandering outside, I will take care of domestic affairs."

"Hey, I'm just worried about being robbed of my job." Song Ya teased.

"..."

Sloan was speechless, and was about to hang up the phone when his subordinate brought a document and showed it to her, "Ah oh..." She whispered softly.

"What's wrong?" Song Ya asked.

"Based on the newly released Starr report, the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives summoned you to Congress for a hearing on the impeachment case. The time is the 15th of this month."
