Chapter 1243

"Yes."

Little Bronfman looks at the plaque in front of the questioner, Illinois senator Durbin, hehe, Illinois Blue Highlands in the Midwest, honest senators sharing apartments with colleagues in Congress in Washington? Antitrust team member? But I've been informed that I should be on your guard, all the way!

"Er..."

With a smile on his lips, he added: "strictly speaking, the world's largest music company is global music, which is owned by sigram global, and it will not be officially honored until January 1 next year, when all the mergers and acquisitions with Polaroid are completed. Mr. Durbin. "

"So will the new company have monopoly concerns?" Asked Durbin.

When he came, his lawyer whispered the number of pages. "If you know something about the record industry, Senator Durbin, even if the merger with polaroid is completed, the market share of the new Universal Music Group will be about There is no monopoly of the market. "

"At present, other multinational record companies, such as Sony Columbia, BMG, EMI and Warner records, have about This is an industry with a long history and full competition. There are also a large number of small and medium-sized record companies in Hollywood, including Disney, and other media groups. "

"Of course I did."

Durbin was also looking through the documents. "I noticed that Universal Music Group and Sony Columbia Records once signed a You call it the cooperation document of duet alliance. In the online music market, your two companies have more than 50% of the record copyright, right? "

It's impossible to prevent Little Bronfman's brain went down for two seconds. Then, in the same way as Sonya's, he gave Senator Durbin a deep, displeased look. Then he turned off the microphone, covered his hands, and turned again to seek help from his subordinates.

Lawyer and Universal Music president Doug Morris shoved papers in front of him.

The difference is that this is a public hearing. The reporter's flash lights up a few times through the silence between the two sides.

"First of all, this is only a plan in the preparatory stage. Second, in the Internet field, similar situations are not uncommon. For example, Netscape browser has a market share of 90% or more at its peak."

Little Bronfman organized the order of words to answer and ask: "aren't we holding a hearing on the Digital Millennium bill?"

"Cough." The lawyer coughed and reminded, "sensor."

"Mr. senator." He added the honorific title.

"So what are the reasons and motivations for sigram global group to oppose the passage of the Digital Millennium bill on the premise of establishing a de facto monopoly in the field of online music copyright?" Senator Durbin, one question is sharper than another.

"I don't understand the logic between the two!"

Impatient, he quickly and covertly exchanged views with the Jewish donkey party Senator Joseph Lieberman, "my position is consistent. This bill will harm the interests of copyright owners and copyright owners in an industry."

"Opposing being evaluated constitutes monopoly." Doug Morris reminds me.

"And I'm against the duet League being judged to be monopolistic. You can't ask me about my sin with what I haven't done yet."

“Senator。” The lawyer reminded me again.

He held his breath. "Mr. senator."

"OK, just a moment." Senator Durbin also covered the microphone. He should have noticed that the staff kept gesturing beside the rostrum. He motioned for the staff to send the documents they were holding.

The other senators didn't take the opportunity to interrupt, and even Joseph Lieberman was waiting in silence.

The sound of the live shutter connection rang out, and a reporter took the opportunity to get low in front of little Bronfman and take a close-up photo.

Maybe it was the smell of the ignition, and the audience was in a turmoil.

Little Bronfman's eyes were flashed by the flash, and he raised his hand slightly to block it.

"Silence, the hearing is still going on." Chairman, Senator McLean, keep order.

"Aplus cites the fifth amendment."

Durbin opened the document and saw a small note sandwiched in the middle of the staff. He covered it with a blank face. "I have no problem."

Didn't you take advantage of the other party's impetuous mood? "OK, then the next congressman..."

"Cough, Mr. Bronfman."

Joseph Lieberman began to ask about the safety problems without any waves. He always scolded and helped a lot. This time, he didn't help a lot, but he could finish the rest of the time smoothly.

Little Bronfman gradually relaxed, switched back to a more comfortable sitting position, and happily turned back to the idol Barry Diller.

Barry Diller blinked his eyes to express his praise. When he turned around, he changed his face. He observed Senator Durbin's action seriously and secretly for a while. Feeling that there was no big problem behind him, he quietly left the meeting ahead of time.

"According to the Fifth Amendment of the constitution of the United States, according to the Fifth Amendment of the constitution of the United States, my tongue is almost tied after a sentence is repeated."On Song Ya's side, the hearing has been over for a long time. Because it was a closed door hearing, there were no reporters on the scene and he didn't encounter any big trouble. He took off his suit and held it arm in arm. After shaking hands with the congressmen in a relaxed mood, he was ready to go home. Er, no, back to the airport.

He showed Ms. Sloan, Pierre Sutton and others his flexible tongue, "more tired than rap."

Sloan sneered, while Pierre Sutton and his lawyers laughed sincerely. They quoted the fifth amendment and refused to answer questions from Congress, but they did not suffer from the follow-up investigation of law enforcement. The result is absolutely acceptable. As for the trouble of the grand commander after the publication of the Starr report, it is his own business.

Hearing that the hearing on little brown man's side is still going on, it seems that Senator Durbin from Illinois caused him some trouble, and the party happily went back the same way.

Two senators in Illinois, one is too old, the other is that Senator Durbin is not easy to deal with.

When the door of the hearing hall was opened, song Ya pretended to be a gentleman to hold Sloan's back, and then secretly poked and pinched him.

"Ten." Sloan whispered suddenly.

“……”

Song Ya thought and gritted his teeth, "OK!" He raised his voice. "Well, Ms. Sloan, let's talk about Littman media later."

“OK。”

Hey, hey.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected. When he left Capitol Hill and was about to get on the bus, Sloan was stopped by a white man with a strange face. They whispered, "Mr. baridiller wants to have a private chat with you." Sloan's back to report.

"Where is it?"

"Find the right place, the airport?"

"All right."

All the way back to the Boeing 757 apron, soon, Barry Diller's team came in, Sonya with Sloan to welcome up, "nice to see you again, Mr. Diller."

The two had only met once in the course of high fidelity magazine trading before. As Sloan was responsible for the whole negotiation process, they had no deep conversation, let alone friendship. It was more appropriate to say that they were enemies, because Barry Diller was a firm ally of little brown man.

No matter how much he made by buying rich three generation TV stations and other media, he undertook assets at least twice and provided sigram global group with a total capital of $4.1 billion, which made the acquisition of baolijin go smoothly and greatly improved the cash flow after the acquisition of sigram global group.

This former Hollywood "killer" has been fighting with real media tycoon Lei Shidong twice. The guy who has been defeated and defeated repeatedly has the color of a white man's skin after being exposed to the sun. He looks sincere and kind when he smiles. But don't be fooled by his appearance.

Of course, he should not have his own money at the moment.

"I'm happy, too, aplus, Ms. Sloan."

Barry Diller shook hands and pointed to the giant 757, "is it Paul's?"

"Yes, Mr. Allen lent me a temporary loan to travel to and from Europe."

Song Ya replied.

"Well." Barry Diller hinted that Sloan Zhiji also returned the car She pulled the door open for a moment, thought about it, and turned to board the cabin.

There was a strong wind at the airport, and there was a huge noise from the far roar of the aircraft engine. Baridiller put his hand in his pocket and took the initiative to move to one side. A few strands of silver hair on the outer ring of his Mediterranean head were blown by the wind.

"Is there anything urgent?" Sonya followed, waiting for him to stand.

"You're in a hurry?"

"Yes, my concert in Berlin is about to start."

"Wow First of all, I admire the vitality of your young people. "

Barry Diller sighed, then squinted and looked at the Boeing 757 in the wind, "so to make a long story short, aplus, when will your new specialty be released?"

"It's about me and the record company."

You have nothing to do with universal records. What are you doing? Song Ya said, "we will make decisions based on the market."

"Within the year?"

Barry Diller continued his conversation. "I know you're worried about your relationship with little Edgar. Don't worry. I'll persuade him to cooperate."

Empty mouth white teeth

And in front of him was a habitual criminal who used to cover the white wolf with empty hands. Song Ya was on the alert, "I didn't understand..."

"Your new specialty, and the film industry's cooperative projects?"

Barry Diller asked, "there are about two remaining releases of the blade series and universal, one of my life series?"

"Yes, it's about two plus one."

"I'll make a deal with little Edgar and these projects will be well executed."

"Wait, wait..."

Sonya laughed. "Mr. Diller, as far as I know, you can't influence sigram global group, and I don't think little Mr. Bronfman will carry out what you just said."

"It's a win-win thing for you. I'll persuade him and guarantee it with my personality." Barry Diller said.

"Win win" means I've lost hundreds of millions in the market value of Littman media? "It's true that your personality is worth so much money. Song Ya asked coldly, "and is the case of the record industry association v. Amerika music website still going on?"

"Tut..."

Barry Diller slammed his mouth and looked back into Sonya's eyes. "You won the Digital Millennium bill. I believe after the great commander approved the bill There will be results in October. The market value will rise back soon, won't it? As for the lawsuit, I will persuade young Edgar to stop

"I'll wait for the result."

Song Ya shrugged his shoulders and did not scatter Eagles without rabbits.

"Well, for the time being? I just want you to know my attitude. I sincerely hope that you and little Edgar will be fine. The contradiction between you is ridiculous. This is not the way businessmen do things... "

Baridiller reached out again.

"I'm sure it's OK, but I'm afraid of being cheated again." Sonya shook hands with him, "or suppressed."

"I understand."

Barry Diller watched the young half blood star and rich man trot all the way. The tall figure waved outside the cabin door and disappeared.

“Damnit！”

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily. His face turned even more red. He strode back to his car and slammed the door. "Damn old fox! Now it's all my job to coax children and wipe their buttocks! "
