Chicago 1990

　　 "ihyursile is in your smile, I\'llrsshishpelessline I will cross this hopeless limit..."

The full score global tour in Kiev ended. Due to the general public security corruption in Eastern Europe these years, the whole team did not go outside to find nightclubs or other high-end venues, and simply arranged a place in the backstage of the stadium to celebrate their achievements.

There are many people, not much space, and lively. Mila is playing and singing a Slavic folk song in English from her last album'heDivineedy' released on SBK, a local male dancer. He performed the famous Kappak'squat dance', kneeling, flexing his legs... People surrounded him, holding wine glasses and happily jumping and singing.

Song Ya also drank a little, and stood in the outer circle with a smile, appreciating silently with the people around him.

Of course, her gaze fell on Mila most of the time. She didn't want to work hard anymore. She wanted to give birth to herself and become a mother...

"It's almost there, you and Mira will leave first."

Old Mike squeezed into his ear. After all, Lazarenko, who had just been blackmailed, had been an oligarch and high-ranking official here for many years, so he must be more careful about his safety.

"Okay, give me Mike with the phone."

Song Ya retreated obediently to the door, taking advantage of the old Mike to call Mira, she called Ms. Sloan, "Is there any eyebrows on DefJa?"

"How can it be so fast..."

Sloan complained: "Sutton and Linda couldn't find a good solution in a short time. DefJa's financial problems... In fact, didn't you and Daniel own shares in the family before? Should you keep the relevant documents?"

"That's too old and useless. I want the latest one. It's best to show the changes before and after Polygram's acquisition by Global. Both." Song Ya replied.

"Look for Daniel? Try the direction of the senior staff at Polygram's European headquarters, who were laid off by the world?" Sloan suggested: "His connections are better than us."

"Daniel will take this opportunity again when he knows this... Forget it, I don't need to find him for the time being. I don't want to get into a stalemate with him.

Song Yatai understands Daniel. If you want to maintain the current friendship, you can't let that guy know too many of his secrets.

"How are the talks at your record company? I heard Linda is making rapid progress..."

"Well, I'm still hesitating."

As the cards on all sides became more and more clear, the "friends" Barry Diller meant to break into the record industry also surfaced. Big shots, the godfather of the cable industry, I Company E, and IA Company where Barry Diller is the chairman. Largest individual shareholder: John Malone.

To some extent, Barry Diller was only regarded as an agent of interest in front of the stage by John Malone at IA. So when Barry Diller told himself that John Malone was interested in entering the recording industry, Song Ya was greatly relieved, and it was indeed reasonable. Among.

Barry Diller's cards: IA picked up from Universal and Polykin's North Rice distribution network such as the top five, but it is barely enough to rank in the forefront of the second line, and John Malone's money and energy are more sufficient. Only foreign distribution is a weakness , But Barry Diller promised to negotiate one of EMI and BG and package it for foreign distribution.

A strong partner, Song Ya felt Barry Diller’s sincerity but also had great doubts. Of course, John Malone’s strength is not a problem. He is also a shareholder of BE, the largest black media media. He has given key funds from the time BE boss Johnson started. And channel resource support.

But John Malone’s sincerity is difficult. The big predator, who had an average merger and acquisition case, had only one phone call with himself to endorse Barry Diller, and the subsequent matters were left to his subordinates.

And John Malone still has the biggest problem. He is the enemy of Deputy Commander Al Gore. Gore has been investigating and suppressing his crazy large-scale capital game since he was a senator. The two have been fighting for more than ten years, and they have been grieving. deep. John Malone’s I company has entered into marathon merger talks with America’s largest telecommunications company Aand (U.S. Telephone and Telegraph Company). Although last year’s telecommunications bill was passed, the merger has been legally unimpeded, but Gore still uses antitrust in Congress. Reasons to find ways to snipe.

That was an M&A case involving an amount of up to 50 billion dollars. In addition to Aand and its own telecommunications company and TV network, I also owns a large number of shares in Sprin, another major telecommunications company. Gore does not want to see John Malone dominate.

But the boss who is caught in an impeachment case and just wants to protect himself is just the opposite. As long as the media tycoon is willing to help, he can sign any word, and any bill or merger can be approved.

"Hello, Mr. APLUS, this is sister Jovovich."

Back at the hotel, John Malone's men were already waiting, just a white middle-level member of Company I, "We are waiting for you to have a conference call."

"K, Mila, you..." Song Ya let go of her arm around Mila's waist.

"Yeah." Mira kissed him on the cheek cleverly, and went inside alone.

"Then let's get started." John Malone's men turned on the landline hands-free. They were very professional and strong. This was the same as his boss's style. John Malone's strong desire for control had long been known.

This is what made Song Ya murmur secretly in his heart, feeling a bit like Derui back then, jumping from one fire pit to another, and the style of John Malone's hands made him very upset.

"Hello, Mr. Diller, Linda."

Donovan accompanied, Song Ya greeted the participants on the other end of the phone, "Are you together?"

"Yes."

Barry Diller replied: "Okay, that's a long story short. Mr. Malone and I will set up a new record company and buy 50% of the A+ records they own from Universal's Geffen Pictures. The price is between us and Universal, so it’s not convenient to disclose it here. APLUS, you and Universal’s Doug Morris will settle the redemption fee. I think the 60 million signature fee must be refunded. You Agree?"

"I have made a lot of money for Universal, and there are other singers, Fergie, Mira..."

Song Ya: "If you change the issuing company again, they will definitely ask for another signing fee. These costs should be paid by everyone."

"We won't pay this money." John Malone's life shook his head hard.

"APLUS, you don't have many choices. Mr. Ma Long and I sincerely want to enter the recording industry. You also know the status quo of this industry..."

With Linda, the president of A+ Records by his side, Barry Diller suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, "Everyone is a business man, and I just talk about it. Don’t be angry with APLUS. You can’t get the highest 21% of the singer’s share. Yes, you have to take the risk with us."

He heard Song Ya take a deep breath on the other end of the phone, "This is too harsh, my new professional is already..."

He immediately interrupted: "But you refused to let the professionals we sent to check your so-called new professional. You know that everyone is now suspecting that you are not prepared at all?"

"I never cheat partners." Song Ya argued.

"Hahaha!"

This time he could finally laugh out loud, "Then you can show those songs to our people."

"I want to act with my heart, and I'm not without Mr. Diller, Plan B. Don't think that I can arbitrarily blackmail my intention to leave the world!" Song Ya.

"It's up to you, as long as you know I'm helping you." Upon hearing this, Barry Diller felt that the pig was getting closer and closer to the pen.

"Any other questions?" John Malone asked.

"The rest is to redeem the singles I have released from Universal, Cup of Life, an\'HldUs and so on. We are always okay with this money, right?" Song Ya asked.

"Is it necessary?" John Malone's people seemed unwilling.

"Doug Morris, president of Universal Music, will take the opportunity to open his mouth, you know him APLUS." Barry Diller deliberately again.

"Then what is the purpose of the meeting today?" Song Ya asked.

"Can we keep things as simple as possible?"

John Malone’s people asked: "We won half of the A+ record. You will refund part of the signing money. Then you can say goodbye to the past and work together for a new cause. Now it is you who want to leave APLUS. Without you, We are not very interested in rushing into an unfamiliar sunset industry."

"you!"

They cooperated very tacitly, and Barry Diller heard Song Ya’s angry voice and finished the game at the right time, "Then take a break, APLUS, let’s talk alone. Linda..."

He sent Linda out, "Don’t make it difficult for me to do APLUS. John Malone doesn’t like losing money. You can’t get angry anymore like Sony Columbia and Seagram Universal. This third chance is rare, too. It may be your last time."

"I understand, thank you Mr. Diller for what you did for me, but... I still want to think about it again." Song Ya replied.

Thank me for hehe, "There is not much time, Bronfman is coming back soon, I will meet him with all the documents when he arrives in Los Angeles, and then let him sign as soon as possible. You know his character, we can’t leave it to him Too much thinking time."

"I understand, but..."

"What's your plan B just now? There is nothing that can't be taken out now. Mr. John Malone entered the record industry and that was the trend of the thunder. He wants to return to the six major parallels. Now it is too late for us to let him stop, but you Don't be smart, we must not misjudge between us." Barry Diller continued to induce.

"is there time?"

"of course."

"Uh... Actually, I think it's better to use Metropolitan Records to reverse purchase A+ Records? I can pay with Disney at a rate of 82% of Metropolitan Records and distribute it to Disney.

Haha, the trump card came out, not surprisingly, "Disney? Their distribution ability in the record industry...Is Warner better?"

"Warner has nothing to do. Doug Morris lets the lead singer of the metal band mix up, and those senior managers at Warner are afraid to take responsibility."

Haha, I have eaten closed doors at Sony Columbia, EMI and BG, right? "Understand, then...is Disney willing?"

"I'm talking synchronously."

"When will the result be given?"

"Let's just a few, then maybe Disney and I will ask Universal to buy back the 50% of A+ records."

"K, I will cooperate."

"Sorry, Mr. Diller, this may disturb your original plan with Mr. Malone."

"The loss hasn't been caused after all. Of course, I have to pass the acquisition, even if I take a commission."

Barry Diller sighed: "You know that Bronfman is probably not happy to see that you want to buy back A+ records directly."

"I understand, that neurotic rich three generations...that's it for the time being?"

"In short, give us a reply to APLUS as soon as possible."

"no problem."

After Song Ya hung up the phone, he directly called a friend, Linton, the president of Disney Copyright, "There is no way, this time I still need your help."

"Metropolitan Records is okay, but if we accept a superstar of your level... it means officially launching a climb to the Big Six~www.ltnovel.com~ This is a major strategic decision, especially due to the downturn in the recording industry. When the company is generally losing money, only Mr. Eisner is the master."

Linton.

"Ask him on the phone for me?"

"Yes... can't you come back?"

"No way, the remaining schedule in Eastern Europe is too rush."

"Well, I will ask him for you."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Linton."

"It's nothing, you have to pay a lot of money this time, right?"

"Yes, quite a few..."

Song Ya hung up the phone painfully, taking a long test alone, and his eyes grew fierce.

"I heard... is it worth APLUS?"

Co-agent Donovan walked in and asked: "Even if Disney is willing to take over, if it opens on August 2nd, plus the signing fee, you have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars."

"On the bright side, I can finally stand up and become independent." Song Ya forced a smile.

"Is there? There is a publisher on it, that is Disney Emperor Eisner, no fundamentally different from John Malone." Donovan.

"It's better than staying around the world."

If the outside world still thinks that he is eating the Lord and rebelling, what is the point of being successful in revenge? Song Ya muttered viciously in her heart, "This time I must first stand on an equal footing before I can take action...fighting with you, three generations of crazy and rich..."
