Chapter 1181

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Song Ya is holding his mobile phone on his shoulder. He shuffles and codes cards happily. He is more and more proficient. He says, "President Jiang, president Zhang, President Charles Zhang, are we violating the public security regulations?"

"Cure It's OK, it's OK. Mr. aplus will have a good time. " Charles Zhang wiped his sweat, and his heart said, do you understand that?

"Don't mention it. Just call me Xiao Song."

"No, no, no, no, I'm afraid. General manager song, general manager song, ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Just after chatting with Shakira on the phone, the phone rang again, "Hello, honey."

"You know the wrong person."

There was Sloan on the other end of the phone. "Aplus, we just received your fax. There is only a piece of paper, a few words, a seal with a five pointed star. Isn't the English version available there?"

"No, it's called red head document. It's very effective. If you want people to do a good job in translation, you can show it to the people on Wall Street."

Song Ya replied: "it says that a local TV station here in China is allowed to discuss joint venture matters with our Littman media. That's enough. Those who are interested will find their own channels and find someone who knows the industry to verify it."

"OK, it's hard work, isn't it easy to get it?"

"Well I'll talk about the details when I come back. "

"OK."

When Sloan put down the phone, the translator had already marked the text meaning in English on the fax copy. She quickly took it out to all parties involved in the IPO of Littman media, such as Morgan Stanley and KPCB.

"That's all?"

At the Wall Street reception on the eve of IPO, men in tuxedos circulated to each other and said, "it looks like there's a distance from the progress you announced earlier."

"That's it. Slower than News Corp. and faster than Viacom." Sloan held up the champagne in his hand.

Others exchanged their eyes. "Sure, we can celebrate. Cheers."

Everyone touched a cup, and then they took out their mobile phones and started to call or contact investment institutions.

Sloan's evening dress is very rusty, and her make-up is fierce and capable. The Wall Street elites around her suddenly disperse. She raises her neck and drinks down the champagne, then returns the glass to the waiter.

"Look, that beautiful blonde CEO..."

A well-dressed white woman looked at the scene from a distance. "It's you who are surrounded by Wall Street people."

"Don't mention it, mam. I'm sorry."

Former media magnate Littman asked his mother to hold his hand. "Fortunately, the family name and logo have been preserved..." He pointed to the lettering and company logo of Littman media everywhere at the reception. "My father should also be happy in heaven. Littman media will be listed tomorrow."

His 5% stake in Littman press has been diluted to a very small extent, but he still enjoys an independent director of Littman media. Song Ya and Sloan both think that it is better to have a person from the Littman family on the board of directors to be the mascot. After all, he still uses the company name of his family.

Both mother and son were invited to the NASDAQ bell ringing ceremony tomorrow. In the eyes of outsiders who do not know the inside story, he seems to have climbed back from the brink of bankruptcy to the position of a media tycoon. His family face is very passable, and both he and his mother are satisfied.

"Let's go and say hello, mam."

They walked up to Sloan and shook hands. "A little nervous, right?" Littman saw Sloan's mood was not as calm as it seemed, and asked with concern.

"Yes, I don't get enough sleep these days."

Sloan squeezed out a smile.

"When you're done tomorrow, you need a good vacation for yourself, girl." Said Littman's mother.

Sloan shook his head and grinned bitterly.

"The good news is that time warner is going to subscribe for some of our shares, and just tonight, we're going to fix this before the market." Morgan Stanley's people came back to celebrate.

"Hoo..." Indeed, Sloan, under great pressure, breathed a sigh of relief.

"And TCI, John Malone's people are coming." KPCB's people also came back and added a sentence.

"NBC is also very interested. They are waiting for the fax of that document." The third good news comes soon.

"It seems that media groups, which are far behind in China's market, want a free ride, right?"

Littman's wealth has shrunk, but he still knows a lot about the media industry.

"Yes, it seems we need another drink."

Some people called in waiters, and they were in a good mood to raise their glasses again. Before long, cheers were heard everywhere in the party, and the Carnival Party of Wall Street began.

The next morning, Times Square, NASDAQ.

All the underwriters have sold out the shares of Littman media with the issue price of $10. Before the call auction, the shares had reached $13.5 per share, completely smoothing out the negative effect of the advertising ban and reaping a lot."Unfortunately, the scale of financing is still shrinking by 10 percent, and you have to pay more than 10 million dollars in compensation for the $100 million gambling terms you received from Wall Street."

Sloan hid in the restroom and gave a black eye patch to a night's work.

"Ha ha, then save some money. It's OK for me to lose that little money. If the stock price goes up, I can earn it back. I've already made it back, right?" Song Ya's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Probably. Wait a minute. Is that gunshot over there? "

Sloan hid in the partition and put two hidden tablets in his mouth.

"No Touch it

"Dangdang Dang!"

On time, Littman media opened at a high price of less than $15 and changed into a professional suit. It was surrounded by the mother and son of Littman, the president of Littman publishing house, the host of a + CN star, the president of Americana music website, Shirley Fleming, the editor in chief of Americana music magazine, and wall street people. Sloan pressed the button in the middle to complete the day's NASDAQ Exchange bell ringing ceremony.

880 million is the market value of Littman media at this moment, and song Ya owns 42% of it through various channels.

This also means that the gambling agreement signed with ACN has come into effect, and Littman media will purchase ACN founded by owitz with the financing cash.

"The combination of media and new media, especially the Internet, is the future development trend. I think the MSNBC model of Microsoft and NBC is on the right path. We will be a new media group with publishing house, TV, related paper media and website..."

Song Ya has always been very generous in this respect. She has got the reward options. In an instant, Sloan, who is the embodiment of millions of rich women, began to give the latest speech to the capital market as CEO of listed companies. Behind her, there are still rising stock price figures.

"Bang!"

A tennis ball hit her eye-catching big red lip on the TV screen, "it's time to start." Little Bronfman put down the microphone.

"Er..."

Doug Morris cleared his throat and told reporters attending the universal records news conference: "I am very honored to announce that universal records and Sony Columbia Records will reach a strategic cooperation relationship in the field of digital music copyright. We both agreed to call it" duet ", the duet alliance

"Digital rights? How and how will your cooperation be conducted? " A reporter asked.

"We have reached an acquisition intention with the all music website. While this website continues to become the best and most widely covered record industry database in the world, it will gradually launch authentic records from universal and Sony Columbia music copyright libraries for music fans to buy." Answered Doug Morris.

"Now that people can buy authentic music online in the future, what will you do about the private dissemination of songs by Internet users?" Another reporter asked.

"Our attitude is consistent, we will crack down on this kind of behavior severely and do not hesitate to resort to legal action."

"Like the previous advertising ban?"

"The ban on advertising is just one of the means. As its effect has not met our expectations, we will soon adopt more stringent measures and further urge the passage of the Digital Millennium act, which satisfies the recording, publishing and film industries."

"More severe? You mean? "

"For some websites that still don't rein in their behavior after the advertising ban, we will take them to court."

"For example..."

"Americana music website, if you visit this website, you will find that piracy is rampant, which is intolerable by the record industry." Doug Morris called the roll.

"Is this the only website? Other online music communities... "

Doug Morris interrupted the reporter. "Yes, this is the only website for the time being. We hope to get a good precedent first."

"So you picked a weaker opponent?"

"As for the question of litigation strategy, our lawyers will have a reply later."

"Ms. Sloan, Ms. Sloan!"

The capital market reacted quickly. Sloan had just returned to the hotel to make up his sleep. After a few minutes' sleep, Sloan was pushed back to the exchange.

With the news on the plane, Littman media shares suddenly turned down.

"Damn it, universal records is dealing with its head male singer business! On the day of our listing, some TV networks and Internet giants expressed their support and blessing! "

Sloan couldn't calm down even though she was calm. She complained, "is there something I don't know, such as you're sleeping with little brown man's woman again?"

"What kind of ghost..."

Song Ya yawned and scattered a bad card, "I don't play, next time."

"Now? I just asked the company's spokesperson to make a statement that they would take legal action. Users sharing songs privately on the Internet are still in the legal blind spot. "

Sloan said."Well done, anyway, we have only one way to do it. Is that right? " Song Ya asked.

"We're going to take the lead alone and fight two record giants. No, it's probably three, plus little Bronfman's pursuit of polaroid. The stock price is down 15 dollars! "

Sloan put a pill in his mouth: "although Yahoo and AOL will not be happy to see each other get a good case, it is not convenient for us to stand up and support us in the sharing of pirated music, and now all music websites of our competitors have received enormous financial support."

"Don't be obsessed with the stock price gains and losses, Sloan. We've made it. We've made it."

Song Ya reminds her, "run the company well and don't make Netscape mistakes again."

"But Well, you're right, but what else can we do for you? " Sloan looked at the stock price that was running towards the opening price, but he was still not quite reconciled.

Think about it, "well I'll give you a call from Daniel glass. The alliance between universal and KM film industry is very close to winning the film adaptation right of "cold mountain". He needs your help. " Song Ya replied.

"It's two different things. I'm very busy now. Can you ask Daniel to talk about it tomorrow?"

The legal team of Littman media came in, and Sloan raised his hand and motioned for them to wait.

"Right now, he may be able to bring you a favor." Song Ya hangs up.

"They were a little panicked and just let the legal department make a very passive statement."

At noon, after a press conference, Doug Morris walked into the boss's office and reported: "at present, the stock price is falling to the opening price of $13.5."

"How? It's simple, isn't it? "

"You said..."

"Yes, I have publicly criticized aplus, saying that he, as a singer under the global flag and a member of the record industry, has invested in a website that connives at piracy. I believe that soon, some people in the record industry and Hollywood will also speak out against him. This time, our attack target is very clear, and we can see who we should follow in the future. " Answered Doug Morris.

"Well, I like aplus and we need to get him back on the right path." Little Bronfman nodded, "for his good."

"I was wrong. I was tolerant." Doug Morris holds the pot.

"Boss, we are close to winning the cold mountain. If it goes well, we can sign the contract in the afternoon." Ron Meyer, President of Universal Pictures, also called to report his good news. "I publicly scolded aplus. Ha ha. Seriously, I've endured this boy for a long time. In fact, I wanted to scold him the last time he and owitz got together. At that time, Catherine and Mrs. Geffen were with me, and they both gently criticized aplus. "

"Euphemism, ha ha Come on, Ron. It's about saving. " Said little Bronfman with a smile.

"Yes, save. I'm really angry. My fault. Daniel glass, the former president of SBK records, the president of Sony Columbia Records and the chairman of RIAA copyright dispute committee, is no longer disguised. He is aplus. He runs up and down Hollywood to fight for the cold mountain They used to work together to make Sony Columbia record a mess, but universal is not Sony. They are not used to here! " Said Ron Meyer.

"Yes? I knew there was something wrong with that guy

"He was also a close friend of Doug Morris."

"Huh?"

Little brown fman glanced at Doug Morris in front of him. "OK, OK, that's it? Anyway, I'll wait for your news, before the closing? "

"I'll try my best!"

"Did you call Daniel? Just do your best, Sloan. You and I haven't failed in this alliance, have you? We are the perfect partner. "

People on the other side of the ocean Songya also began to receive phone bombardment. Most of them were Hollywood people like yelemov telling who suddenly scolded themselves. Americana music website was carried out by globegroup for public display. Anyone with a little wit can smell the wind direction.

"Like being shot?" Sloan asked.

"Well, it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I'm going to turn off the phone. It's late at night. I'm so sleepy."

"Ha ha, you seem to enjoy your life there."

"I'll be back tomorrow, and I'll talk about it then."

"Well, good night."

"Don't be too tired of yourself."

Sloan was stunned by the busy cell phone for a while, then he took care of himself in the mirror. He was still a strong woman. He went outside the exchange and held an impromptu press conference with the stock price as the background.

"The Wall Street Journal, Ms. Sloan, what do you think of Universal's lawsuit manifesto today?"

"We have just got the news, and we will conduct relevant research and judgment before giving the relevant coping strategies, which will take time."

"Doug Morris, President of globegroup, believes that your company's website is conniving at online music piracy on a large scale."

"We are against all piracy, as for the files uploaded by users The legal issues involved are very complicated, and we can not give a clear answer. I believe the new digital millennium bill will give us guidance, but before that day... ""So you're still not going to delete that data like MP3 sites do, right?"

"The Littman media legal team will guide the company's actions, next."

It's a bit windy in Times Square today, and Sloan needs to remove his hair from his face from time to time.

"BusinessWeek, Ms. Sloan, what do you think of the support of Americana's rival all music to two record giants?"

"We welcome competition and we are not afraid of it."

"Does Mr. aplus know about the Americana music website? Do you support it? "

"You can ask him himself. He is only one of the investors of Littman media at present."

"As far as I know, he and his company own Littman media's...."

"Sorry, we don't have time to talk about these issues at today's press conference, next."

"In the financial times, there have been a lot of accusations against aplus today. He is a member of the record industry..."

"He is one of the best singers in the world, and Americana music website is also the best music community in the world, and I think he has realized his dream. Next. "

"Hollywood reports, aplus and Maria Kelly are in the East Hall..."

“NEXT！” Sloan's voice became sharper and the reporters laughed.

"Or the Wall Street Journal, can you tell us something about your joint venture with China?"

"We are actively communicating and will report the relevant progress, but I would like to remind you that it is the most potential market in the world, which is also applicable to the media industry. We are the pioneers and have already led most of our counterparts in the United States..."

"Talk about your acquisition with ACN?"

"The acquisition negotiation has already been completed, and it will be executed automatically after Littman media goes public as scheduled and smoothly, so yes, we already have ACN TV station."

"What do you think of it, Ms. Sloan, and you have two 24-hour news stations now, which is too much."

"We really need to make some adjustments. In short, we will keep one, and a + CN will turn to the comprehensive station for development."

"Do you have any other acquisition plans?"

"We are negotiating with grove publishing house, joint venture, and using the technical capabilities of Americana music website to help it build a special novel website. The early planning is limited to the fields of crime, mystery and horror literature. Crimeleads, probably called that name. If the final result is satisfactory to both parties, further cooperation will be carried out. "

"We haven't heard of..."

"We have just reached an initial intention. This is our attempt to turn music into pure literature, another professional subdivision category, and Internet."

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Ron Meyer angrily asked the negotiating partner, Charles Fraser, the author of the Atlantic Monthly and the original cold mountain book: "I don't think we have any problems anymore. It's you, or you... " He looked at each other.

"I have no problem." Charles Fraser hands up to the Hollywood man in front of him.

"I have no problem, but I can't help it. It seems that there are some new ideas from the parent company, and we need to wait and make a decision." Said the Atlantic Monthly.

"Your parent company is..."

"Grove Press."
