Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 88

……

Peyton didn't know.

On the other side, Buffett has contacted an important person who can play an absolute role in this transaction.

Don't look at him telling Peyton that Philip L. Graham suffers from bipolar disorder, but that's not his card.

He is confident that the deal will come about, largely based on the network of connections left behind by his father.

For example, his father, Howard Buffett, and Eugene Meyer, the former boss of the Washington Post and former Federal Reserve Chairman Eugene Meyer, are very good friends in private, although they are from different parties.

Buffett has received a lot of guidance from Eugene Meyer since he was a child, and he himself knows more about the affairs of Eugene Meyer's family.

He is especially clear that Weng's son-in-law, who is extremely harmonious in the eyes of outsiders, is far less harmonious than in the eyes of outsiders.

As Graham gradually came to power, and after two years of illness, he became irritable and volatile, and even expressed the intention of divorcing his wife more than once.

In Buffett's view, this guy is a white-eyed wolf. If it weren't for his father-in-law's family, how could he gain a foothold in Washington?

Although his father was a state senator, he was powerful in a locality and could not reach Washington.

The World Bank is headquartered in Washington. The rapid development of The Washington Post over the years has required enormous financial and political resources, all of which are inseparable from the network of former president Eugene Meyer.

Back then, Graham was also respectful to Eugene Meyer and loved his wife, which is why Eugene Meyer fully supported his son-in-law.

Even as Eugene Meyer grew older, the network of contacts he left behind was deliberately transferred to Graham gradually.

But in the past two years, due to the development of his career, Graham was proud of himself, and he was suffering from bipolar disorder, so his nature was fully exposed.

Daily irritability, alcoholism, cold violence to his wife, the marriage relationship between husband and wife is shaky.

Eugene Meyer was old and frail, and maybe one day he would die, and now Graham was so presumptuous, he couldn't imagine himself like this after death?

Although the daughter holds 30% of the stock, how can she beat Graham as a housewife?
These are all grudges in Eugene Meyer's heart, things that often worry him.

"Uncle Eugene, long time no see!"

"Oh, it's Little Buffett. Didn't you say you work on Wall Street? How did you get here?"

"Come here on a business trip and visit uncle by the way."

……

As time went by, amid the momentum of Random House, the news that the third book of the Original Sin series "Peak of Power" was about to be released spread all over the Federation.

Due to the super bestsellers of the first two books, the third book itself has top-level traffic, and Payton's pigeons have been suspected of becoming a billionaire by publicity, so he stopped writing the book.

At this time, the news that the new book was confirmed to be finished and ready to go on sale, and the third book that had not yet been sold immediately aroused the ecstasy of all book fans.

Book fans everywhere will continue to confirm this news to the official.

There are several small celebration ceremonies in Alabama, driven by Random House.

Random House is still that Random House!

The means of propaganda are beyond the reach of ordinary people!

In this way, the sales volume is also gratifying.

In just a few days, the pre-sale sales according to the federal statistics have reached 80.

According to this form, more than one million is just around the corner.

You know this is a pre-sale!

How terrifying!
As soon as the news of the pre-sale volume came out, people's discussions could be heard everywhere.

Even the stock of Random House soared by nearly 10%, making several major shareholders laugh from ear to ear. They couldn't help stepping up their publicity efforts. At the same time, they went to Sweden in person, waving a check, and strengthening their public relations with Nobel.

Even if it is money, it must be a Nobel.

"Boss, looking at the posture of Random House this year, it has the courage to spend money like water." The manager was a little excited.

"Look, those Swedish masters eat standing up, who knows?"

Peyton is very indifferent, he has gradually disregarded the award.

Isn't it Nobel?
There are a few every year.

The so-called awards are just a circle game after all!
if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

Instead of inheriting the crown, it is a big deal to create the crown in the future.

However, Payton understood why Langdon was acting like this.

The first is to win over oneself. After all, the Original Sin series is still written by oneself, and the second is due to interests.

A Nobel Prize plus terrifying sales, in the stock market, this is a shocking pie, a legendary story.

This is not unprecedented for the company to rise by 30.00%, and the market value of forty.

(Note: Kanos Film Investment Fund was newly established last year. After two films sold well and several Oscar nominations, its valuation skyrocketed, and it was sought after by countless investors. It was valued at 6000 million. the existence of an empty shell.)
For this, several shareholders of Random House were deeply touched and decided to tell a good story and paint a big picture.

Payton can only say that capitalists are capitalists and they can always find a place to earn mani!
Not long after, good news came from overseas.

Because the first round of release was only in the Commonwealth, it caused protests from countless overseas book fans, especially the joint protests of several large book fan clubs in Europe, and even small-scale demonstrations.

Publishers in Europe, Japan and other places rushed to the federation to sign a cooperation agreement, which meant a simultaneous global release.

At this time, Mr. Chris, who was giving speeches in various places in Alabama, complained more than once that Peyton's book fans were too crazy, and more than once turned his speech into a book fan meeting.

"Oh, that's crazy!"

"You have too many fans."

"I keep asking questions every time, especially those young girls. They don't look like your book fans, they just want your supporters."

Peyton could only laugh it off, his own female supporter?
Isn't this normal?
Jack Kerouac, who wrote "On the Road", has countless fans. Even if I don't have this thought, isn't it normal to have some female fans?

I have high traffic, good writing, rich, strong ball control ability, good hardware and physical strength, and such a good image?
Book fans are naturally transformed into personal fans.

Start with talent, be stuck in appearance, and be loyal to hardware.

Of course, seeing Mr. Chris's expression, Peyton also knew that he was having fun.

After all, in Mr. Chris' view, Peyton's fans are the votes he can win.

Aiwujiwu!
Mr. Chris even began to look forward to the release of "Peak of Power", what kind of heated discussions will the protagonist based on himself cause?
President Chris?

What a wonderful term.

Although he is still far away from that step, the governor is right in front of him.
