Chapter 1251

"With your smile, I'll cross this hopeless line..."

The full score of the global tour in Kiev came to an end. Due to the general deterioration of public security in Eastern Europe in recent years, the whole team did not go outside to find nightclubs or other high-end places, so they simply arranged a place behind the stadium to celebrate.

Mira is playing and singing a Slavic folk song in English. It comes from her last album "the Divine Comedy" released in SBK in that year. A local male accompanist dances the famous "squat dance" of Kapak, bending knees and kicking legs He was surrounded by people, holding a glass of wine, dancing and singing happily.

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

Of course, most of the time, his eyes fell on Mila. She didn't want to work hard. She wanted to have a baby and be a mother

"Almost. You and Mira should leave first."

Old Mike squeezed over and said in his ear that razarenko, who had just been blackmailed, had been an oligarch and a senior official here for many years, so he had to be careful in safety.

"OK, give me the cell phone, Mike."

Sonya obediently retreats to the door. While old Mike goes to call Mira, she calls Ms. Sloan, "does defjam have eyes over there?"

"How can it be so fast..."

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

"That one is too old. It's useless. I want the latest one. It's better to show the changes before and after the acquisition of baolijin by globegroup. I want both." Song Ya replied.

"Daniel? Try the direction of the senior staff who have been laid off by globegroup in the European headquarters of Polaroid Sloan suggested: "he has better connections than all of us."

"When Daniel knows this, he will take advantage of it again Forget it. I don't want to argue with him again

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

"How are you doing with the record company? I heard from Linda that it's going very fast... "

"Well, I'm still hesitating."

As the cards of all parties become more and more clear, baridiller's "friends" who intend to break into the recording industry have also come to the surface. John Malone, the great man, godfather of cable TV industry, CEO of TCI company, is also the largest individual shareholder of IAC company with baridiller as the chairman.

Barry Diller, to a certain extent, is only an agent of interest who was promoted by John Malone in IAC company. So when Barry Diller told himself that John Malone intended to enter the record industry, Sonya was relieved, which is really reasonable.

Barry Diller's brand: IAC picked up the beimi distribution network from globegroup and polaroid, such as the top five, but it is barely enough in the second line. John Malone's money and energy are even more enough. Only foreign distribution is the weak point, but Barry Diller guarantees that one of EMI and BMG will be responsible for foreign distribution.

As a strong partner, Sonya felt Barry Diller's sincerity, but also had great doubts. Of course, John Malone's strength was no problem. At the same time, he was also the shareholder of bet, the largest black media. He gave key financial and channel resources support from the start of bet boss Johnson.

But John Malone's sincerity is hard to say. The big predator who negotiated a merger in seven days on average only made one phone call with him to endorse Barry Diller, and the follow-up was handed over to his subordinates.

Moreover, John Malone has the biggest problem. He is the enemy of deputy commander Al Gore. Al Gore has been investigating and cracking down on his crazy large-scale capital game since he was a senator. They have been fighting for more than ten years and have a deep feud. John Malone's TCI company has held marathon merger negotiation with atandt, the largest telecom company in the United States. Although the merger has been legally unimpeded since the passage of last year's Telecom bill, Gore still tries to attack in Congress by using antitrust and other reasons.

It was a merger involving as much as $50 billion. Apart from atandt and its own telecom company and TV network, TCI also owned a large number of shares in sprint, another big telecom company. Gore didn't want to see it dominated by John Malone.

On the contrary, if the media tycoon is willing to help, he can sign any word, approve any bill or merger.

"Hello, Mr. aplus, this is miss Jovovich."

Back at the hotel, John Malone's men are already waiting, just a white middle-level member of TCI. "We're waiting for your conference call."

"OK, Mila, you..." Sonya let go of his hand around Mila's waist.

"Well." Mila gave him a good kiss on the cheek and went inside alone.

"Let's get started." John Malone's men turn on the landline hands-free, which is very professional and powerful. This is the same as his boss's style. John Malone's strong desire for control has long been famous.This is also something that makes song Ya murmur in his heart. He feels a little like Derry in those years. He is jumping from one fire pit to another. The style of John Malone's men makes him very unhappy.

"Hello, Mr. Diller, Linda."

Accompanied by Donovan, Sonya greets the participants on the other end of the phone, "are you together?"

"Yes."

Barry Diller replied: "well, to make a long story short, Mr. Malone and I will set up a new record company and buy 50% of a + records they own from Gefen pictures, which is owned by universal. The specific price is between us and universal. It's not convenient to disclose here. Aplus, you and Doug Morris of globegroup will settle the redemption fee. I think most of the 60 million signing fee must be refunded. Do you agree? "

"I've made a lot of money for universal, and there are other singers, Fergie and Mira..."

Song Ya said: "if they change the issuing company again, they will definitely ask for another signing fee. These costs should be paid together."

"We won't pay for it." John Malone's life shook his head.

"Aplus, you don't have many choices. Mr. Malone and I sincerely want to enter the recording industry, and you know the current situation of this industry..."

With Linda, the president of a + records, by his side, Barry Diller held back his smile. "We are all businessmen. I'll talk about it. Don't be angry with aplus. Your singer's share can't reach the highest 20.1%. 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 has..."

He immediately interrupted: "but you are not willing to let the professionals we sent to check your so-called new specialty. You know that now people are suspecting that you are not prepared at all?"

"I never cheat partners." Song Ya argued.

"Ha ha ha!"

This time he was finally able to laugh out loud, "then you show those songs to our people."

"I have to be careful, and I'm not without plan B, Mr. Diller. Don't think you can blackmail me if you know my intention to leave the world!" Song Ya said.

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

"Any other questions?" Asked John Malone's man.

"The rest is to redeem my released single from globegroup, like the cup of life, can't hold us and so on. It's OK for both of us to have half of the money?" Song Ya asked.

"Is that necessary?" John Malone's people don't seem to like it.

"Doug Morris, President of universal music, will take the opportunity to open his mouth. You know him aplus." Barry Diller said on purpose.

"What is the purpose of the meeting today?" Song Ya questioned.

"Can't we make things as simple as possible?"

John Malone's people asked: "we take half of a + records, you return part of the signing money to redeem yourself, and then you can say goodbye to the past and work together for a new career. Now you are determined to leave aplus. Without you, we are not interested in rushing into a strange sunset industry. "

"You

With a very tacit understanding, Barry Diller heard song Ya's angry voice after timely play round, "then take a break, aplus, let's talk alone. Linda... "

He sent Linda out, "don't make it hard for me to do aplus. John Malone doesn't like to lose money. You can't be as angry as Sony Columbia and sigram global in the future. This third chance is very rare, and it may be your last."

"I understand. Thank you for what you've done for me, Mr. Diller, but I want to think about it again. " Song Ya replied.

Thanks to me, hehe. "There's not much time left. Little brown man is coming back soon. I'll meet him with all the documents when he arrives in Los Angeles and ask him to sign as soon as possible. You know his character, we can't leave him too much time to think. "

"I understand, but..."

"What was your plan B? Now there's nothing that can't be said. Mr. John Malone has entered the recording industry. That's the thunder. We need to return the territory to the six simultaneous. Now it's still time for us to let him stop. But don't be clever. We can't misjudge each other. " Barry Diller continues to induce.

"Is there still time?"

"Of course."

"Well In fact, I think it's better to reverse the acquisition of a + records with metropolitan records? I can pay Disney's eighty-two percent of the metropolitan records and distribute them to Disney. "

Ha ha, the bottom card came out, just as expected, "Disney? Their distribution capabilities in the record industry Is Warner better? "

"Warner is out of the question. Doug Morris let the lead singer of the metal band mingle. Warner's senior managers are afraid to take responsibility."

Ha ha, Sony Columbia, EMI and BMG have been shut down, right? "Understand, then Would Disney like to? ""I'm talking about it."

"When will the results be given?"

"Just for a few days, maybe Disney and I will ask universal to buy back 50% of a + records."

"OK, I'll cooperate."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Diller. It might spoil the original plan of you and Mr. Malone."

"After all, the loss hasn't been caused. Of course, I'm going to take a commission even if I'm going to take a hand in that acquisition."

Barry Diller grinned: "you know little Bronfman is probably not happy to see that you want to buy back a + records directly."

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

"In short, give us an answer to aplus as soon as possible."

"No problem."

After Song Ya hung up, he called his friend, Lyndon, President of Disney copyright company, "I can't help it. I need your help this time."

"Metropolitan records is OK, but if we accept a superstar of your level It means officially climbing to the top six. This is a major strategic decision, especially when the record industry is in recession and the distribution companies are generally losing money. Only Mr. Eisner can make the decision. "

Linton said.

"Ask him to talk on the phone for me?"

"Yes Can't you come back? "

"I can't help it. The rest of the trip is too busy."

"Well, I'll make an appointment for you."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Linton."

"It's nothing. You'll have to pay a lot of money for this redemption, won't you?"

"Yes, quite a few..."

Song yarou hung up the phone in pain. He took a long test alone, and his eyes became more and more fierce.

"I heard that Is it worth it

Joint agent Donovan came in and asked, "even if Disney is willing to take over, you'll have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars if you add the signing fee to the deal."

"On the bright side, Laozi can finally stand upright and independent." Song Ya smiles.

"Yes? There's also a distributor on it. It's Disney emperor Eisner. It's no different from John Malone. " Donovan said.

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

If the outside world still thinks that they are eating the Lord to revolt, what is the significance of revenge success? Song Ya murmured in his heart, "this time I have to stand on an equal position before I can do it Fight with you, three generations of psycho rich... "
