Chapter 1378 Save Your Tears for Tomorrow

"Isn't Viacom chasing BET!?"

Song Ya was very shocked. This shows that due to the shrinking of her wealth, her business has begun to be targeted by various predators. Maybe Viacom and ACE are just the tip of the iceberg.

If Littman hadn't informed Sloan, I'm afraid his side would still be kept in the dark.

Littman and the founder of the OpenDiary website, Abelson and his wife, both complained to the outside world after their conflict with themselves last time. In addition, Littman is an old media person. Maybe this is why Redstone picked him to talk. reason.

Viacom just merged with CBS, one of the three oldest TV networks, last year. They also own Paramount, one of the seven largest TV networks in Hollywood, TV networks, audio-visual chain giant Blockbuster, a large number of theaters, and other heavyweights in the media industry. The company's boss, Lei Shidong, like another media tycoon Murdoch, has raised his net worth from three to four billion dollars to seven to eight billion dollars in recent years, and has no losses in this stock market crash.

Now is indeed a good time to buy the bottom, but according to the intelligence, Redstone had already met with Johnson, the boss of the black TV network BET. Viacom has been rumored to acquire a wholly-owned subsidiary in the past two years, ranking second in the number of cable subscribers in the whole meter. Ten or so BETs.

"It doesn't matter, the current Viacom Group is extremely powerful, what's the point of winning two more TV stations? It can bring vitality to the aging CBS News, and ACE can be seamlessly integrated into BET's black entertainment system..."

Sloan analyzed: "Johnson will definitely sell BET. He has lost interest in continuing to manage the company. The only difference is the price. Redstone himself is also inclined to conservatives. He is a good buyer, and the elephant party is also happy to see it. "

"People like Lei Shidong are starting to talk about it. He won't simply come to us to inquire about two TV stations... He may have already done something, such as absorbing the stock of our Litman Media."

Whether it is the acquisition of Paramount, Blockbuster or CBS, Lei Shidong has always been in a thrilling business battle. Song Ya is very clear about the methods of the old fox. He is absolutely fast, accurate and ruthless, and he is good at playing strategic deception , For example, he used the acquisition of Blockbuster to reduce the vigilance of his opponent Barry Diller, and then used Blockbuster to borrow money to take down Paramount. This is a very classic case.

"Don't worry, right? Your companies cross-hold 42% of Litman Media. You personally spent money to withdraw some stocks from the open market when you defended the market last time. Anyone who wants to hostile mergers and acquisitions will Hit the iron plate."

Sloan doesn't think it's a big threat. "Now I actually hope that someone is quietly absorbing Litman Media's stock. That's a good thing..."

"Um."

When she said this, Song Ya's worries were relieved a little,

"Lei Shidong is very patient. He should find a way to enter the board of directors first, observe closely or make trouble, and then wait for the opportunity...I have a good relationship with him, so don't come and go and become an enemy again."

"In short, this weekend, let's play the public opinion war more beautifully, first solve all kinds of speculations about you from the outside world, and at the same time put an end to those capital predators coveting your various industries..." Sloan said.

"Alright alright."

Song Ya hung up the phone. Now my business has developed into a deep-water area. Because the technology required by the blog site is not high, OpenDiary is facing many competitors, many of which are backed by large Internet companies.

The development momentum of the news station and ACE entertainment comprehensive station has also begun to pose a threat to large companies. There are not many 20-hour professional news stations in Mimi, and the ratings of ACE's hip-hop competition have already ranked among the top in the talent show variety show category.

Littman Press dominates the middle school sex education film market in more than ten states, and the rest of the market is divided by large publishing groups far larger than Littman.

A+ Entertainment is already one of the top students in Hollywood's second-tier film companies, except DreamWorks, and is also fighting the protracted Titanic revenue sharing lawsuit with Murdoch's Fox Films.

The Metropolitan Publishing Company is also spending money to enter the operation track, record distribution, which is a forbidden area for the world's five largest record companies...

3DFX has only a few major competitors in the 3D display chip market, and the Sega camp that 3DFX has joined has become more and more difficult as Sony's PS2 console conquers the city.

Other traditional businesses such as liquor and clothing have competitors in their respective fields. Only in the incremental market of the Internet boom, there are no deadly enemies. But once the stock market crash occurs, everyone’s life will be difficult, and internal competition will gradually become fierce.

Peter is still dragging his feet!

'tsk! '

Headache! Song Ya laid her forehead on the sofa and clicked her tongue lightly. It was such an annoyance that the stall was too open. People's energy is always limited. Originally, he had planned to use operations such as selling the wine business to the French to carry out strategic contraction, but The stock market crash happened suddenly, and the venture capital business in the media, Internet, and technology industries that I thought could be the main business seemed unreliable...

It is still the weakness of Tianqi. Even if Tianqi enlightens that a certain company can live into the future, it only lives into the future. What level can its market value reach? It's hard to say, for example, YAHOO has fallen to less than half from its 130 billion high this week.

"In a bad mood?" Amy snuggled up tenderly when she saw this scene.

"How could it be better?" Song Ya put her arms around her casually.

"Oh, by the way..." Amy also felt distressed seeing him like this. She knew that the man had lost a lot of money, so she took out a piece of colored coated paper that looked like a ticket, "Going to relax at night?"

"What's this?"

Song Ya took it over and glanced, "No."

It's an invitation to a masquerade party at a hotel near Metropolitan Records, with a curvy brunette in a Cleopatra mask taking up most of the page, with Jazzy and Damon Dash's name, very beautifully crafted.

Puff Daddy, NAS, Jazzy, Irv Gotti, black movie star Jamie Foxx, etc. are all great party planners. To put it simply, these guys seem to be born to create a party atmosphere, which is absolutely guaranteed The guests have fun drinking, the reputation in the circle is very good, and it is also a source of extra income outside the main business.

Not to mention the delicate relationship with Jazzy, its money printing machine, Song Ya probably heard from Linda that Damon Dash's girlfriend Aaliyah and the New York music circles followed her to buy shares and lost money, so of course she didn't want to go. The brunette in the Cleopatra mask should be Aaliyah.

"Go ahead, it's Jazzy and Dame's masquerade party for 'Romeo Deadly' starring Aaliyah..."

Sure enough, Amy pointed to Aaliyah's photo and said, "I heard Kung Fu star Jet Lee is also here."

"Oh?" Song Ya became a little interested. She has had various interactions with Chinese filmmakers such as Fa Ge, Jack Chen, Wang Zongxian, etc., but Jet Li...has never been in contact.

Deadly Romeo starring Aaliyah and Jeter Lee started filming at the end of last month, and it should be promoting in New York now, so there is this party. he guessed.

It seems that I heard Yeremov say a few days ago that Deadly Romeo's final global box office is expected to be around 100 million dollars. Based on the production cost of this film of 25 million, it must be no problem to make money.

Jet Li came to the United States late. He played a supporting villain in Lethal Weapon 4. His career development in Hollywood is far less smooth than that of Jack Chen. Song Ya knows that he used to play a positive male lead in Huaguo. , thinking about getting acquainted with him in the past, and saying hello by the way so that everyone can take care of him?

"go Go……"

Amy saw that he was disturbed, so she graciously pushed him out of the door, "Have a drink with your friends, and forget about those unpleasant things for a while. I approve you to take a vacation today, just as a holiday."

Holiday... for the holidays?

Song Ya immediately got to the point, "You are so kind, Amy..." pinched her face lovingly, "Aren't you angry?"

"Anyway, I'll...go for the time being." Amy said while touching her belly, which was still not visible.

Why! This infatuated woman, even if she is pregnant with a baby, she will completely give up her film work for the next year. Originally, she was an actor with the image of a good white girl, and her official announcement would be a big blow to her career...

Soon, Song Ya found the same mask that Liangtang wore in Eyes Wide Shut, and appeared at the party.

After entering the banquet hall, the old Mike, who was wearing a simple Zorro blindfold, saw him shrinking his neck instantly, and began to tiptoe silently along the wall of the banquet hall.

According to experience, his reaction would only appear in one situation. The old Mike looked up and saw Beyoncé dancing with Aaliyah in the middle of the banquet hall, surrounded by fashionable male and female stars.

The background music is "LOW", which was rated as the best nightclub dance song of the year by Song Ya Sanzhuan. Everyone wore various exquisite masks, and the whole banquet hall was filled with the smell of alcohol, perfume and hormones.

Come on, it's rare that your kid has a woman who is afraid from the bottom of his heart.

The old man thought.

"Where's Jeter Lee?"

The masquerade party is a good point, and the disguise is tighter for a period of time so that no one can see through the identity. Linda is in Chicago, and the news of her arrival is only revealed to the president of Metropolitan Records, and the two sides quickly connect.

"He stayed for a while and left, saying that he was not suitable for this kind of occasion." The president of Metropolitan Records said, "Should I give him a call?"

"Need not."

It's fine if you don't run into it, it's a holiday! Holidays! Song Ya rubbed her hands and asked, "Have you signed any newcomers with Linda recently?"

Beginning this year, he has delegated some authority over records and movies. Both A+ Records and Metropolitan Records have the right to sign new singers within the budget. Generally, A+ Records is responsible for the Midwest and West Coast singers where Chicago and Los Angeles are located. Metropolis Records Responsible for the East Coast and South, where New York is located.

Just relax when you come to relax. It's a rare opportunity. Song Ya plans to try something new tonight. Only this kind of thing can make him temporarily forget everything.

"Of course..." The president of Metropolitan Records was still not very close after all. He didn't understand the spirit of the boss, and he really reported the information of the newly signed singer.

"Mr. Estefan, APLUS seems to be here at Metropolitan Records, attending a masquerade party."

Moreover, the respectful attitude of the president of Metropolitan Records betrayed him. A Latin musician who had collaborated with the Cup of Life also knew the old Mike who was inseparable from him, "Come here? A rare opportunity!"

"Ha, that seems to be APLUS? Are you going to say hello?"

Estefan and his gang coaxed Shakira, who was recording at Sony Columbia Records, to come immediately.

"No."

This man who can't be mistaken even when he turns into ashes is talking happily with a hot girl in the corner of the banquet hall, Shakira secretly scolded a scumbag in his heart.

She is not stupid, she immediately realized that her broker had other purposes, "You play with your stocks, don't disturb my life..."

"Just a few words, it's okay."

The other Latin gangs are not willing, especially those who copied the bottom of the CrimeReads website before the market closed, "APLUS?"

Song Ya hadn't revealed her identity in front of the 'prey' yet, and was enjoying the joy of pretending to be an ordinary passer-by to tease an ignorant stupid girl in front of her, so she was defenseless against this voice.

Song Ya turned her head and saw Shakira surrounded by Estefan and the others at first glance. These Latins seemed to be in a hurry, wearing Zorro or Batman blindfolds similar to old Mike's. , Shakira's hand-held mask didn't bother to block her face.

"Ah! You are..." The hot girl followed the sound to look around, and then connected the tall man in front of her with a rich man and a superstar, covering her mouth and screaming excitedly.

All nearby guests pay attention.

Beyoncé, Aaliyah and Damon Dash in the center also noticed the unexpected situation here.

"Uh... let's go and talk."

Song Ya decisively abandoned the passer-by girl she had just met, and snapped her fingers at the president of Metropolitan Records.

"Come with me, Miss Shakira, Mr. Estefan."

The president of Metropolitan Records graciously took the group out of the banquet hall and found a separate room.

"Hi..."

Under the eyes of everyone, Song Ya only had Shakira in her eyes, and she greeted her, because many outsiders didn't know about the existence of Little Yalianen, so they didn't ask, "I just chatted with that girl casually..."

"They have business with you."

Shakira didn't believe the scumbag's nonsense, put her hands on her chest coldly, and turned her face away.

Perhaps it was during the intermission period between the two secondary schools, her body management was relaxed, and she became a little plump, and the little hot mom was completely ripe.

"APLUS, maybe you have heard that all of us followed you last year and supported your company with real money."

A Latin musician who copied the bottom line on the mountainside couldn't control much, and said very fast: "We can't take it anymore, what are your plans? Littman Media, American Music, OpenDiary, and CrimeReads are not guaranteed. Is it? Or catch the big and let go of the small?"

"This gentleman..."

The president of Metropolitan Records didn't want the boss to be disturbed, and opened his arms to drive out the idlers.

"It is inconvenient for me to respond to such questions, and I will be suspected of insider trading."

Song Ya shrugged at the group of people who were eagerly observing him, "Please understand."

"Let's talk in private?" Estefan offered, pushing Shakira lightly on the back for help.

Shakira dodged impatiently without responding.

Estefan had to smile awkwardly at Song Ya.

How did the stock speculation become like this? Estefan used to be considered very personable. She was originally the boss of the Latin gang in the American music circle, the former husband of Latin DIVA Gloria, and now the manager of Latin DIVA Shakira. She needs status and reputation.

"No, if you want to ask about this kind of question..."

In the middle of Song Ya's refusal, someone questioned again: "APLUS, everyone used to recognize you as our friend. But you keep going to help the company's platform to collect money under it, and deceive ordinary investors like us..."

"Misappropriation company? Hehe."

Those who came to relax did not expect to encounter such a scene, Song Ya was also annoyed, and interrupted the other party with a sneer, "Don't say that my companies didn't make you any money after they went public, if you really entered the market immediately... ...As for right now, the stock market crash is not what I want to see, I have lost much more than you, if you want to blame me for losing money, then you are all wrong."

"you……"

The man still wanted to be entangled, "You guys go out first." Shakira said.

"Let's all go out." The president of Metropolitan Records continued to chase people away.

"Okay, Shakira, help us..." Estefan glanced at the old Mike who had unzipped his jacket to reveal the holster, and whispered a word to Shakira, and then persuaded his companions to leave.

Now there are only two people left in the room.

"Is little Ya Lianen okay?" Song Ya looked at the child's mother and spoke first.

"Go to Colombia to visit yourself." Shakira replied.

"Uh..." Afraid to go, Song Ya recalled the guns in the hands of her father and brother-in-law.

"You are really a scumbag, APLUS. Amy mentioned you in front of me with a happy face a few days ago. She is pregnant with a baby." Shakira helped her former best friend angrily scold the scumbag man, "I heard you in New York Rumor has it that you were nearly shot by a young Beyoncé for messing with her?"

"I didn't... Anyway, it's not what you think."

Why did that matter spread... Forget it, now is not the time to worry about it, Song Ya smiled and raised her hand to surrender and interrupted, "Oh, by the way, tell Estefan and the others for me later, I can't talk to you about the stock They talk privately, but I'm going to be on the Jones Stewart show this weekend and I'm going to talk about it publicly, just keep them tuned in."

"They seem to have lost a lot." Shakira was busy with her new album, she didn't pay much attention to this aspect, but she could always feel it.

"Everyone lost a lot, the stock market crashed."

"Okay, I'll tell you..." Shakira snorted and laughed again, "Why didn't Beyoncé beat you to death? If it was me, you wouldn't be able to live..."

"So you hate me so much?"

"I wish you could kill Puta!"

"What about little Arianne after I die?"

"I'll find him a good stepfather..."

"The son of the Argentine commander? By the way, I heard from Amy that you have a new boyfriend? Bless you..."

Shakira was stunned for a moment, but she felt extremely sad when she received the blessing. She turned around angrily, and left without saying a word.

The figure disappeared from sight, and Song Ya sighed alone for a long time.

Exquisite masquerade party, swinging men and women, Shakira didn't seem to go to Estefan and the others, and picked a male dance partner nearby, his waist twisted like a motor, colorful lights sprinkled on her indulgent and laughing face face.

But a tear that fell from the corner of her eye betrayed her.

The soft place in Song Ya's heart was also hit instantly, she stared dully and timidly, and was a little furious when she saw her being so intimate with others in front of her.

I saw you dancing in a crowded room

I see you dancing in a crowded room

You look so happy when I'm not with you

You seem to be happy when I'm not around

But then you saw me caught you by surprise

When I accidentally appear in your sight

A single teardrop falling from your eyes

A tear falls from your eyes

I don't know why I run away

I don't understand why I run away

I'll make you cry when I run away

You'll be in tears when I leave

You could've asked me why I broke your heart

You could have asked me why I hurt you

You could've told me that you fell apart

You can tell me too, you're broken

"I'm sorry." She and her dance partner danced closer and closer, and Song Ya walked over to the middle.

"Go away!"

She tried to shake off the grip on her arm.

But you walked past me like I wasn't there

But you treat me like air and walk around me

And just pretended like you didn't care

pretend you don't care about me

I don't know why I run away

I don't understand why I run away

I'll make you cry when I run away

You'll cry when I'm gone

Take me back 'cause I wanna stay

Get me back in this relationship, I want to stay

Save your tears for another

Please save your tears for...

Save your tears for another day

tomorrow……

"Hey! Miss Shakira tells you to go away!" Her dance partner tried to be a hero to save the beauty, but as soon as her hands pushed Song Ya's chest, she recognized the identity of the boss in front of her.

"If it makes you feel better..."

Song Ya forgot to put on the mask.

The little chaos caused the men and women around to stop dancing, and they consciously formed a circle to watch the excitement, but they quickly screamed because they saw APLUS suddenly pull out the gun from the waist of the old bodyguard behind him!

Then he stuffed the gun into the hand of his ex-girlfriend Shakira, holding it with both hands, even helping her index finger to pull the trigger.

So I made you think that I would always stay

I made you think I'd stay

I said some things that I should never say

I said something I shouldn't have said

Yeah I broke your heart like someone did to mine

I put on you what others did to me, I broke your heart

And now you won't love me for a ; time

now you won't love me anymore

Song Ya and her eyes widened, and she, who let herself do what she did, looked at each other in a daze, and then pointed the muzzle of the guide gun at the center of her eyebrows.

After this shocking change, the people around fell silent, only the sound of background music.

Even Beyoncé's mouth grew wide after seeing this scene.

I realize that I'm much too late

I realize that everything I do is too late

And you deserve someone better

you deserve better

One of the big solid hands wrapped her hand, and the other held the barrel of the gun. Song Ya didn't know why he suddenly went crazy. He saw Shakira's face contorted, and his expression became extremely painful. The crowd watching closely, then looked behind him for help.

Old Mike was behind him, but the old man didn't seem to respond.

The old man's gun is definitely a real one. Song Ya's adrenaline was crazily secreted, and he felt very relieved. The corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up nervously, and he smiled at Shakira.

She won't pull the trigger.

Save your tears for another day

save your tears for tomorrow

Save your tears for another day

save your tears for tomorrow...
