Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Including Harvey.

Upon hearing that Andrew had been dismissed by Lionsgate Films, Harvey cursed out loud. Everyone knew Andrew was from Miramax Films, one of his former subordinates, and Link was the first to fire Andrew. It was clear that this was a direct insult to him.

If he didn't seek revenge, what face would he have left as Hollywood's top mogul?

Harvey made a phone call to Bob, who was out of town on business, demanding that he must find a way to take down Link, and it had to be quick and soon.

Bob listened helplessly, telling him to first put forward 2.8 billion US dollars, and he would definitely help take down Link.

Harvey exploded in anger, asking why he needed so much money and if he was making things difficult for him on purpose because he didn't want to do it.

Bob explained that Link himself had 2.8 billion, as well as Lionsgate Films. Together with Ivanka, in terms of wealth, power, connections, and fame, he was in no way inferior to them brothers. It's not so easy to deal with such a person.

Hearing this only made Harvey angrier. He happened to see two crew members laughing on set as if they had encountered something amusing.

Harvey became very displeased and, pointing at their noses, unleashed a torrent of ugly curses. In the end, he demanded that the director's team fire them, stating he didn't want to see them on set for another minute.

The assistant director in charge of the set couldn't afford to offend Harvey and could only follow his instructions by kicking the two out of the crew.

After venting his frustration, Harvey felt much better. He called Bob again to inquire about any progress with Kunas. Why hadn't they found anything to pin on Link in three or four months?

Bob said even Kunas had no way of dealing with Link who didn't evade taxes, break the law, mess around with women, or fly off the handle easily.

Even those working closely with him couldn't find fault in him, describing him as someone with a very, very good character. It's difficult to find a good way to deal with someone who, except for being a bit of a flirt, has no other issues.

Bob advised Harvey not to entertain wild thoughts. Harvey was a Hollywood mogul, and Hollywood meant the movie business, not other industries. On Wall Street, in the music or sports industries, his influence was far less than Link's.

The best solution to deal with Link was in Hollywood, using industry competition to hit him where it hurts and bankrupt Lionsgate Films. Other methods simply won't work.

Bob urged Harvey to focus more on film production.

If Weinstein Company's movies could crush those of Lionsgate Films at the box office and win several more Golden Globe and Oscar awards, Harvey could mock Link to his face about not understanding movies, leaving Link with nothing to say.

Defeating Link in this manner would be truly satisfying.

Harvey thought such a scenario would indeed be very satisfying, but such a thing was not possible for the time being.

This year, the Weinstein Company's film with the best box office result was "The King's Speech," which had won the Oscar for Best Picture at the start of the year. It had a production budget of 15 million and a global box office of 380 million US dollars.

It seemed quite impressive, but that bastard Link was not doing too bad either.

Palm Beach Films' "Bridesmaids" had a current box office close to three hundred million US dollars.

Though slightly lower in box office performance, it wasn't by much. Using this to mock Link didn't seem to have any effect, and the outside world wouldn't recognize him as more successful in the movie business than Link this year.

If he couldn't hit Link this year, he would have to wait until next year. The thought of enduring Link for another year made his eyes bulge, and he scanned the set, eager to lash out at someone again. Unfortunately, the crew avoided him completely upon seeing him there.

Harvey asked Bob if there were any other solutions.

Bob said there weren't any; either endure it or choose to forgive. He and Link didn't have any deep-seated hatred, and there was no need to keep fixating on Link. A reconciliation was entirely possible.

Bob even suggested that since Link was a businessman who valued making money, if Harvey chose to reconcile, he could mediate. Link would surely not refuse, and the combined strength of their companies would be comparable to the Big Six film studios.

Harvey told him to shut up. Link had just fired an old-timer from Miramax Films, and to reconcile with him now, how would others view him as a Hollywood mogul?

Bob pointed out that Andrew was despicable, enjoyed playing power games behind the scenes, had poor work capacity, often embezzled the company's money, and they didn't keep Andrew when they founded the Weinstein Company because of this, instead recommending him to Lionsgate.

Now Link and Ivanka saw his issues and kicked him out of the company—it was justified and definitely not a move against Harvey.

Harvey shouted for him to shut up and to give him Kunas's contact details; he wanted to personally speak with Kunas and ask why there hadn't been any action after keeping an eye on Link for half a year. It was incompetence.

Begrudgingly, Bob gave him Kunas's contact information and called Kunas in advance to inform him Harvey would inquire about Link, adding that Harvey had high blood pressure and a bad temper, prone to rage. If Harvey suddenly lost his cool, Kunas should forgive him.

On the other end of the line, Kunas agreed with a grim face.

Bob's call came while he was in his New York office, browsing through pictures Ivanka had posted on MySpace from her daily life.

The first picture showed two injured ring fingers, the second had both ring fingers with bandaids sporting red hearts.

In the third picture, a finely crafted diamond ring appeared on Ivanka's pale, delicate ring finger, only the ring was placed near the tip of her finger, which had a bandaid on it.
