Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

On the other end of the phone,

Harvey sat in the clinic, his arm wrapped with a blood pressure cuff, and upon hearing Kunas' curses through the phone, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Women, no matter how beautiful, were just tools for making movies and earning money, and instruments for venting in his eyes; he never overvalued them, nor did he ever have any respect for them.

Yet, unexpectedly, one day in real life, he heard a man say that a woman was his life, his faith, his light.

It was ludicrous.

What was even more ludicrous was that the person who said this was a rich second-generation scion from a wealthy family, a member of his own kind.

Had it not been for considering Kunas' status and sparing his fragile ego, Harvey really wanted to tell him how young and naive he was.

Men like him who value women too much, who take love too seriously, are doomed to accomplish little and will never achieve anything significant. In other words, they are "useless."

And at the moment this "useless" person was cursing Link, calling him scum and the like.

Listening made Harvey want to laugh even more, as he actually admired Link's approach with women—romantic and passionate, treating emotions as a seasoning of life, not a life goal or dream. What's most important for a man is his career.

Take him as an example; before he became a Hollywood tycoon, no woman ever wanted to date him.

After he became a Hollywood tycoon, those women touted by the media as goddesses would throw themselves at him like lunatics.

All he needed to do was pick one or two lucky ones to satisfy his physical and psychological needs.

Having encountered too many women, women were insignificant in his heart.

When he heard Kunas repeatedly express the sorrow of being abandoned by a woman, he found it extremely boring and wanted to end the topic soon.

"Ryan, I understand, Link is detestable. He shamelessly took away the person you deeply love, and he deserves to die ten thousand times. So, what plans do you have for revenge?"

Harvey interrupted Kunas and asked.

Kunas said he didn't have any and asked if he had any, being a Hollywood tycoon, he must have a way to destroy Link.

Upon hearing Kunas' flattering words, instead of being pleased, it inflamed Harvey's temper instantly and the blood pressure monitor began to beep.

The doctor from the clinic came over, adjusted the blood pressure monitor, gave him a few instructions, and then left.

With a grim face, Harvey told Kunas, "No way."

If he had a way, he would not have called Kunas in the first place, nor would he have been needlessly scolded, nor would he have been so upset that his head spun and he had to be taken by his assistant to the clinic for an injection.

Kunas sighed from the other end, saying if it were possible to bring down Link and make Ivanka regret, he would be willing to spend one million, ten million.

Harvey smirked secretly; if a few million dollars were enough to destroy that bastard Link, he too would be willing to pay, but it's not that easy. Link was not so easy to deal with.

After thinking it over, Harvey told Kunas to discuss more with little Epstein and others, as long as they worked together, they would surely come up with a good plan against Link.

He also told him that Link was currently seizing Ivanka, and in another two years, the two might marry, have children, have Link's children. By then, taking action against Link would be useless, so it was best to deal with Link as soon as possible without regard for the means.

As long as Link was gone, his estate would be Ivanka's, and Ivanka would be his.

Harvey gently persuaded, asking Kunas to seriously consider it.

Kunas acknowledged and also expressed his hope that Harvey would find a way to deal with Link soon. He asked Harvey to remember to contact him if he needed help.

Humph!

With a stern face, Harvey hung up the phone, feeling that Kunas, this useless second-generation, was not very reliable.

He leaned back on the hospital bed and thought for a moment, then phoned Bob.

He said he was ready to transfer his investment shares in "The Master" to other production companies and continue to blacklist Link in the circle, declaring that anyone who cooperated with Link would lose the opportunity to work with Weinstein Company.

Harvey asked Bob if this plan was feasible?

He felt that Bob was more adept at deploying schemes and conspiracies.

Bob was almost driven mad by Harvey and little Kunas; he couldn't understand why these two had so much time to plot against Link instead of making money. As long as they had more money and their worth exceeded that of Link, dealing with him later would become simple.

But they didn't do that; they spent all day getting angry at Link, cursing him, coming up with useless methods to deal with him, and the result was that Link remained unaffected while they harvested one bad mood after another.

Bob told Harvey the plan wouldn't work.

First of all, now everyone knew their Empire Pictures was investing in "The Master." Suddenly transferring shares was unnecessary and not in the company's interests.

Second, to force everyone to choose between Lionsgate Films and Weinstein Company.

This approach was extremely foolish, Weinstein Company's biggest advantage over other film companies was in its Oscars public relations, helping actors win awards.

But not all actors wanted to win Oscars; the younger generation didn't want to flatter the old men at the Academy; they'd rather become famous and be superstars.

"In terms of star-making capability, we do not have an advantage over Link. Don't forget that Link is a global superstar with several top singers under him and company resources. Lionsgate is the seventh largest studio in Hollywood, producing twenty to thirty movies each year, more than Paramount and Sony Pictures.

We mainly earn money through purchasing and distributing independent productions, and our company only produces a few movies each year. In terms of resources, we are even less than Lionsgate; if those actors had to choose, most of them would pick Lionsgate.

Only a few old actors who want trophies would consider our company.

Further, we are only good at public relations for the Oscars, and we don't monopolize the Oscar awards; other companies also perform well in this award ceremony annually, we are not the only choice, let alone the best compared to the top six film studios.

Using this method to deal with Link will only drive our company to a dead end, I absolutely do not agree."

Bob said decisively.

"Alright, if you think it's not suitable, then let's drop it."

Hearing his words, Harvey also felt that the plan wasn't practical, but apart from that method, he had no other way to deal with Link and Lionsgate Films.

"There's something else, I don't know if you've seen the news, Ben Affleck's 'Escape from Tehran' has already received investment from Lionsgate Films, and the partnership is confirmed. If we continue to target Link, many actors we know might choose to remain neutral," Bob reminded.

"Ben went to Link for investment? Is that true?"

Harvey was furious.

"It's true, it was reported in many morning newspapers, and the media's intent is also very clear. Everyone knows our relationship with Ben is good, but now that Ben has approached Link on his own, it shows that our connections aren't as stable as we imagined."

"Fuck! Fuck! Damn that Link! I will never let him go."

Harvey exploded in rage.

Beep beep beep!

The blood pressure monitor's alarm began blaring again.

The nurse outside the medical room rushed in upon hearing it, urging him not to get angry, to breathe deeply, and calm down.

Harvey pushed the nurse away, and before he could get out of bed, he felt dizzy and almost collapsed on the floor.
