Mark is not surprised about this. The typical marriage between American online and Time Warner pact is divorce. It's just strange who has a thick leg and is eager to resume being single and get married again. He joked: "if I have money, I'll buy time warner."

But when he saw Barry without a smile, he said strangely, "what?"

Barry said, "Mr. Richard Parsons of our parent company wants to see you. He's on the set."

Makshiga was surprised, pulled Barry aside and said, "Barry, what do you know?"

Barry said strangely: "Davis fund suddenly took the equity in the hands of many shareholders within three days. According to the information they provided to the Securities Regulatory Commission, they have owned 30% of the equity of Time Warner and are already the first shareholder. They are preparing to restructure the board of directors."

Mark was a little surprised, which was really surprising. As soon as Martin made a move, he took most of the equity of time warner with lightning speed. At this time, there was no news on the market. This speculation and the means of capital operation were extremely powerful.

It's no wonder Parsons and Barry are eager to see mark. They are recognized as good friends. It's conceivable that Parsons and Barry want to see Martin. They must be ruthlessly rejected before they make an idea to mark.

Times Warner Group has been troubled by financial scandals in recent years. The merger of online and Time Warner in 2000 has become the online Time Warner Group. But its business development is not satisfactory. The Internet bubble has been shattered and the online business has been hit.

After the Washington Post reported a series of unconventional trading activities of Time Warner in 2002, the securities and Exchange Commission began to investigate the alleged exaggeration of advertising revenue by American online Time Warner executives.

Time Warner reached a settlement with the US Ministry of justice and the securities and Exchange Commission in December 2004 and early 2005, agreeing to pay US $210 million and US $300 million respectively to end the two-year accounting violation lawsuit.

In order to show investors and the parent company Time Warner Group that the enterprise's income is good, several executives of AOL have reached illegal sales agreements with many enterprises. According to the agreement, AOL provides funds to these enterprises to buy the company's online advertising, so as to improve the advertising revenue on the book.

But this temporary conciliation at the government level does not mean that the end of the event, the bubble crisis, the industry downturn, the long-term fraud scandal, investors have lost confidence in the United States online, about one hundred and sixty billion of the market value of the online country, now less than five billion, really fell.

Now the sudden move of Davis fund makes the situation more complicated and difficult to understand. At the beginning, in order to ensure the long-term interests of shareholders of both sides, AOL signed a repurchase agreement. Within a certain period of time, it can exchange equity again according to the market price. Now the market value of AOL is about one tenth of that of Time Warner. According to this agreement, He was directly annexed and became a subsidiary of Time Warner, rather than a parallel large company.

The intervention of Davis fund makes the management feel uneasy. Davis fund has so much equity and will certainly not be satisfied with the status quo. It is necessary to restructure the directors. Parsons and Barry just want to get some news through mark.

Out of courtesy, mark met Richard Parsons, chairman of Time Warner, but mark made it clear that I don't know more than you.

Parsons mused, "we would appreciate it if you would introduce me."

Mark said, "I can make a call, but you know, Martin, he's very busy. I'm not sure if he can see you."

Parsons said, "of course!" he is the mighty chairman of Time Warner and a big man in the media industry. Compared with Martin, he is only a small shareholder. As long as Martin is unhappy, he can't be the chairman.

Mark called Martin in front of them and said, "I heard you have become a major shareholder of Time Warner. Congratulations, my friend."

Martin said, "are you honest? We are walking together." walking together is like an enemy country.

Mark said: "of course, it's honest. Mm group doesn't have many places to compete directly. Will we hurt our harmony because of this small money? Hangover series, chainsaw series, and now Batman, we have competition and cooperation."

Martin said, "maybe?"

Mark said, "I have two friends here who want to visit you, Parsons, chairman of Time Warner Group, and Mayer, President of Warner Brothers."

Martin said, "if you think they are worth recommending, let them show up at my manor at 8 o'clock tonight." then he hung up the phone.

Mark had to say to Barry, "we have been friends for many years, but I want to know the purpose of your trip."

Barry said: "Mr. Davis suddenly controls the majority equity of the group and does not hold a shareholders' meeting or board meeting. Now people in the group are in panic. We want to know Mr. Davis's intention."

Mark said: "Martin spent a lot of money to control Time Warner Group. He must have his strategic intention, but no matter what intention, the stability of the group is the key. He will see you at his manor at 8 o'clock tonight."

Parsons quickly expressed his thanks. In fact, he was in New York and asked to see Davis, but the other party refused. He had to fly to Chicago with Barry, hoping to catch up with the other party through Mark's line. Now he finally got on the line.

Davis suddenly took control of Time Warner. The devil knows how he did it. It is not an easy thing to make so many shareholders give in. What's more, it was completed silently. If they hadn't filed with the securities and Exchange Commission, no one would know the news, which is tantamount to overnight change for Time Warner Group.

Just dumped her ex husband, and she became a wife without even knowing it? Is there something more ridiculous? Now people are in panic.

A top-down change is about to take place, and everyone hopes to reap benefits from this change. When Mark Jen Parsons went to the bathroom, he said to Barry, "didn't you think of coming by yourself?"

Barry said: "it's hard for me to refuse Richard's request. In addition, my qualifications are not enough. More importantly, we are allies. Just go step by step."

Mark said, "OK! In fact, in Martin's place, qualification is not a problem, loyalty is the key, and he will like you."

It's not surprising that the two top bosses of Time Warner came to visit mark. Mark's people are one of the top tycoons. They are proud to work under him. Mark won't show the face of being a super rich to the people around him in both work and life.

Especially the people in the crew are used to Giselle, little Martin and visiting class. Mark likes to ride a horse with his son around his neck and will also play and laugh with Giselle. It is difficult to connect him with a generation of heroes.

Martin, another recognized hero of the generation, lives a more low-key life. Every time he gets on the news, when he takes any big action, he rarely accepts interviews with reporters or goes on TV. In the public eye, he is no different from Wall Street vampires. The only thing that makes people like him is that he recaptures the torch goddess from the Japanese.

Now Martin stayed somewhere in his manor. Just after hanging up mark's phone, he said to his bodyguard, "Yuri, if someone launches several missiles here, I'm dead."

Yuri respectfully said, "the Patriots will beat them down."

Martin nodded and said, "the foundation has finished holding Blackwater company. I hope you will be the president and help me look after the beast."

Yuri respectfully said, "as you wish, sir." he paused and said, "if you don't stay in a place for a long time, keeping your whereabouts secret is the best security method."

Martin said, "I'm not afraid of death. Many people will be buried with me when I die."

Seeing that Martin had nothing to say, Yuri leaned back.

Martin gained the right to shop freely through economic crisis and intimidation. He used his money to buy a large number of properties, many of which were American defense industry companies, such as weapons manufacturing companies, and became top upstarts for a time. However, his crazy behavior has also become the target of the public. There has never been such a crazy person, His existence is a threat to many people. I believe many people will want to get rid of him. This security problem is the top priority.

A new chaebol is rising, but wants to kill him as much.

Martin doesn't want to die, so he must strengthen security measures. He has been laying out for many years. With the help of shorting the subprime mortgage market, he has obtained a lot of things he wants to form a new chaebol. However, compared with the traditional chaebol, he is still very young and inferior in all aspects. When they slow down, Martin will suffer a lot, so he must step up his expansion.

After Yuri left, the servant brought Jerry Williams in again. Jerry was very excited when he saw the legendary tycoon. He said a lot of admiration and looked forward to flattering the tycoon. If he didn't know who was behind the scenes, he would be a member of the Homeland Security Committee for nothing.

Martin said bluntly, "Secretary of Homeland Security Sherry will step down tomorrow. I want to know if you are suitable?"

When the old man stepped down, he didn't hear any news. It can be seen that the Lord has great powers in front of him. Jerry immediately took an oath of Allegiance: "I'm willing to go through fire and water for my husband and die forever."

Martin said: "I don't need beautiful words. I need loyal servants. I like Putin. He has a good set of management. He has controlled KGB for many years and no one at the top has betrayed him. Do you know why?"

Jerry knew that the other party was cunning and would never be cheated by other people's sweet words. He gritted his teeth and said, "there are some bad rumors."

Martin said, "I interviewed three people today. They said they didn't know, so they were out. Are you the fourth?"

Jerry knew that the opportunity was right in front of him. Why not sell his soul to the devil? He said, "I know, and I'm willing to chase sir!"
