Chapter 227 Declaring War

"Ms. Fleming, let me be clear. I didn't follow the agreement, but I don't think there is anything to be angry about. The sooner the news is announced, the better for us..."

"Calm down, please calm down, I visited you last year, I said that I want to get your magazine, but what about you? First tell me the truth of the upper class, and then give the magazine to me personally Littman, I respect you, did not participate in the bidding, so if we want to buy this magazine back today, we need to pay more money... Littman, the guy who ruined the magazine, can still make a fortune, Do you think this is fair to me?"

"I am seventeen years old, and I came from a poor area. I still can't grasp the scale of this multi-party game, so why not, let's keep it simple. My lawyer and accountant will bring better conditions than what I promised last night. Negotiate with your personal advisor once, just once, there will be no second chances."

"Yes, I will withdraw if I can't reach a specific agreement to form an investment company. Okay, goodbye."

Shirley Fleming called very angrily after hearing the news from the tabloids. Song Ya revealed her bottom line as planned to avoid getting into a long-term entanglement with the other party. As Samuel said, Shirley Fleming Laiming is not a key person. She is not qualified to sit at home and wait for her and Quincy Jones to compete for an offer. It has always been Littman who has the qualifications.

"Report from Chicago."

Taraji handed a copy of the Chicago Sun to Song Ya, "The news spread before the renovation of the building started."

‘APLUS spent tens of millions of dollars to buy an entire floor of a commercial real estate in Chicago. '

'As a native of Chicago, I should be very familiar with the two songs of second-hand stores and The, which were played on the streets and alleys on a loop last year, and these two songs came from a 17-year-old African-American boy from the South District, APLUS, who only became famous with his popularity. A few singles, last year raked in 30 million knives into the bag, becoming a person who even billionaires dare not easily compete for cash flow. '

'This young man who is favored by the pop music circle also has a very efficient investment team. The commercial property was purchased by Bahn Chemical Company, which is deeply in the quagmire of spin-off. A brilliant business investment. '

'APLUS seems to be planning to use the entire building as the headquarters of its A+ record company and do a big job... The headhunters in Chicago have received recruitment requests from A+ records, and it is expected that the number of employees of A+ records will reach 30 people in the future . '

The Chicago Sun-Times is not a well-known gossip newspaper under the News Corporation, let alone a tabloid. It has some very famous columns, such as film critic Roger Ebert, who has his own column in the newspaper, which is the editor of Hollywood movies. One of the vanes, every film review will be widely reprinted by Quanmi.

"Now Quanmi knows that you are rich."

Taraji said, "Since this report came out, my work phone has been harassed by various salesmen..." She compared her hands to her ear and imitated the voice on the other end of the phone, 'Hi, can I ask Ask Mr. APLUS, do you need a yacht? Need a private jet? Manor house in Highland Park in need? Villa Beverly Hills? Top rated credit card? Low interest loans? A special service for a third-rate little model? '

Song Ya shook her head and smiled, "The troubles of happiness in the capital world, right?"

"Did you know? There are also stockbrokers, fund managers and so on who are asking me out for dinner on the phone, flirting..."

Taraji once again made the one-handed-on-hip pose with winking eyes and butt shaking, "But I rejected them all."

"You want a compliment from me? I just gave you a raise, Taraji."

Song Ya was not tempted, he just wanted to get the American Music Magazine as soon as possible, and he had to get what he wanted, whether it was a woman or something else.

"Hey!" Taraji sighed and gave up, and sat next to Song Ya, "I heard from the owner downstairs that the real estate in this building has appreciated slightly because of you.

The building owners love you. Did you notice? A new boutique has opened on the corner of the opposite street. The name of the store is Alexander PLUS. It is clearly for your fame. "

"Oh?" Song Ya really didn't pay attention, "Then let Yeremov choose the right time to make a statement and get rid of the relationship."

"OK, I wrote it down." Taraji took out the notepad and wrote it down, "Also, the Chinatown restaurant you went to also posted a photo of you and Mariah Carey dining in the most prominent place in the store. It's next to the Grand Commander's family."

"Okay, okay, I know everything...can we not talk about this?" Song Ya raised her hand in surrender.

The cell phone in Taraji's bag rang, "APLUS, Quincy Jones is doing something!" Hayden said loudly.

‘Why would a magazine that has long since disappeared be favored by two groups of investors at the same time? '

In the entertainment news of the local New York TV station, the host was talking, "After APLUS made it clear that it was trying to acquire American Music Magazine, Russell Simmons, the owner of DefJam Records, also revealed similar intentions in an interview in the morning. He said:' The venerable magazine will be a poster child for the fusion of classical music and hip-hop,' he told our reporter that the new media company he formed with Quincy Jones is leading the acquisition..."

"So, Quincy Jones still doesn't want to play with me, right?" Song Ya turned off the TV with a gloomy expression.

"Properly, you should take the initiative to call Quincy Jones."

Hayden said: "Since the other party accepted the move, you can no longer pretend to be stupid. You must say something clearly."

"Okay, Taraji."

Song Ya asked Taraji to call Quincy Jones, "Hey, Mr. Jones, what's going on? About American music, you and Russell Simmons..."

"Damn it, did he say anything to the media?"

Quincy Jones put himself out of the way, "This is APLUS, Russell Simmons has his eyes on that magazine, I really like his idea of ​​incorporating hip-hop music into this magazine, a century-old white music magazine Falling into the hands of black people, wouldn't that just be cool news?"

Song Ya spat secretly in her heart, she had been eyeing it a long time ago, why didn't I see you when ABC sold it? "So, what should I do, Mr. Jones, I don't want to let that white man Henterman take advantage of the bidding between us, maybe, you can take me? I have Shirley Fleming's support here."

"Ms. Fleming? We're on good terms with her."

Quincy Jones said: "Let's do this, Russell Simmons is the one who decides, you need to get his consent, and I will speak to APLUS for you."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with Mr. Simmons."

Song Ya asked him for a private call from Russell Simmons, and called.

"No problem APLUS, you can wait until the second round to participate, and we will give you some shares at a friendly price." Russell Simmons' statement is very straightforward, you withdraw from the bidding first, and we will talk about it after we buy the magazine first.

"WTF! What the hell is the second round!?" Song Ya couldn't accept this condition at all, and swears directly, "I'll see Mr. Simmons in this magazine first, so I don't want to wait for the second round, and this is not Venture capital..."

"Hey, keep your mouth clean young man, relying on Motura's negligence, he was lucky enough to earn more than he deserved from Sony Columbia's fingers, so he thought he was omnipotent, right APLUS?"

Russell Simmons also immediately turned his face, "We have big plans for this magazine. It will become an iconic reading of black music in the future, and it will not fall into your hands and become a nondescript mixed garbage. You want to share with Shirley Fry Is it right for Ming to join forces? Guess, how did I know about your childish plan of gossip news and classical music?"

"You don't think I'm going to back down from that, do you, Mr. Simmons?"

Song Ya is not afraid of him, DefJam Records and Russell Simmons have a high status in the history of hip-hop music, but the business situation is not very good now, and half of the company’s shares were bought back in the Columbia Records era, and now it belongs to Sony Columbia Records , as well as distribution rights. In this regard, they are not comparable to the autonomy of A+ Records, which only sold the distribution rights for five years.

"Whatever you want." Simmons hung up the phone.

"Damn NGer!" Song Ya cursed into the microphone.

"War has been declared?" Taraji whispered to himself.
