Chapter 638 ? Resale Price Maintenance

"Fxxkyou! Daniel!"

When the two really met, Song Ya completely changed his face. He was so angry that he didn't even care about Mariah Carey's frequent tugging at the corner of his clothes, and directly sprayed dirty at Daniel, "I asked you a long time ago Will there be any problems with those albums that are nominally discounted but actually maintain the original price in the stores of Target, Press and Best Buy? What do you answer me with swearing? No!?"

"Calm down, APLUS, I remember what I said at the time: There is no way..."

Daniel looked at the other dinner guests in the distance, and lowered his voice, "I need a good financial report last year to gain the trust of Sony headquarters, otherwise I won't be able to deal with those loyal to Motura in Sony Columbia Records. You two are also good, don't blame me when it comes to trouble! And this matter is being done by the six majors, and it is a common trouble for everyone to be discovered, so you don't have to be too nervous."

"I don't need to be too nervous?"

Song Ya was really pissed off, "The investigation report just released by the Federal Trade Commission said that you, on behalf of Sony Columbia Records, took the lead in organizing a common price alliance with EMI, Warner, BMG, Universal and other large and medium-sized distribution companies, and strictly demanded that all major chain stores Maintain the CD price, or give penalties like out of stock? They say this involves RPM (resale price maintenance) in monopolistic behavior! The total fine may be as high as billions of dollars! Doug Morris's sudden resignation and this Is it related? Absolutely!"

"I know I know, but now that this has happened, what use are you getting mad at me?"

Daniel also got angry, "It's all because Motura put too much pressure on me, if I knew I shouldn't have taken over this mess!"

"What a mess!? I helped you take the position of the six presidents, and it is Sony Columbia Records, which is running very well in Motura's hands!"

Song Ya was pissed off by him. Before, he only knew that there was a gap between him and Motura's ability, but it was not that big. Now it seemed that the gap was far, too far. "PolyGram is not on the list. I'm afraid they have already reached a deal with the FTC to serve as tainted witnesses. In this way, the FTC should already have sufficient evidence, right? And Target, Preson, Best Buy They must have gotten a lot out of it, you're in big trouble Daniel."

"APLUS is not as serious as you imagine. This kind of lawsuit involving billions of dollars will definitely take many years. All the record companies under investigation except Polygram will definitely join hands to deal with the lawsuit. It is not certain who will win... …Let's go over there and talk."

Daniel smiled apologetically at the VIP who approached to say hello, and pulled the two of them into a small corner of the banquet hall, "I'm just a professional manager, and I don't need to lose money. You should understand this."

"Sony must be mad right now,

How long can you be a professional manager? They just kicked Guber out. "

Of course, Song Ya didn't get so angry because of the distress of the book's money. If Daniel is finished because of this, his most important line of defense against Motura will be gone. "Maybe Motura is already celebrating with champagne? Are you moving?" Hit yourself in the foot with a rock, and it was a beautiful blow."

"Just say a few words, okay? APLUS, or do you want to quarrel with me at this moment?"

How could Daniel be in a better mood? The only record company executive named in the FTC investigation report was him, "We still have to unite, don't we? Do you want to see me resign directly? Then Motura will definitely come back immediately."

"Shxt! You're such a…"

Song Ya didn't expect that this guy started to hide threats in his words, and just wanted to point at the other party and yell, "Ah, honey, I'm tired, why don't you go back to the hotel to rest?" Mariah Carey quickly took his raised hand , "Sorry Daniel, he was so happy tonight and just got two Grammys, so he drank a little too much."

"fine……"

Daniel also calmed down, "I don't deny that I have a lot of responsibility for this matter, but now our focus should be on solving the problem instead of blaming each other."

"I think so, honey, let's go, go back, go back, good... Linda, help me."

Mariah Carey coaxed and pulled, and together with Linda, dragged the angry young fiancé away from the ballroom of the Grammy celebration dinner.

Not long after Daniel took the stage, he was involved in such a big trouble. On Lincoln's long table, the best rapper of the year and the Grammy Award for the best film and television song of the year are gone. Song Ya said: " Last year, Daniel felt that the veteran singer Bennett was out of breath, so he chose not to renew his contract, and let him be signed by Motura to a small record label with a close relationship. This year, Bennett suddenly became popular, and his MTV channel unplugged The album was nominated for the general award of the best album of the year, and Daniel’s subsequent remedy failed... Bennett won the award in one fell swoop, coupled with the FTC’s antitrust investigation, he has completely become a joke in the industry.”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I haven't won a single trophy this year, so think about it, are you balanced?"

Mariah Carey helped him untie the strangler's bow tie, "Linda, soda."

"He is indeed lacking in ability. Maybe I had too much influence on his admiration psychology before I became famous. If I knew it earlier, I would change someone to support him. Now..."

Song Ya did drink a lot. She just won two Grammy Awards tonight, and she learned the bad news in the middle of the celebration. She couldn't control her emotions for a while, and now she kept murmuring herself while holding the water glass.

"Go back to the hotel." Mariah Carey ordered Old Mike.

"No, don't go to the hotel..."

Song Ya stopped him drowsily, "Mike, go to Malibu."

"Going to the show tonight? Don't go, your current state..." Mariah Carey persuaded.

"No, you'll find out when you go, Linda, and call Hayden."

Song Ya hugged her, "Sorry, dear, I blamed you for throwing a face at Daniel before."

"Did I say that?"

Mariah Carey pouted proudly, "You can't be too polite to them."

"Well, you're right..."

"Of course, I have more life experience than you."

"hey-hey……"

Malibu was a little far away, and the alcohol was surging again, and Song Ya fell asleep while chatting.

"ah!"

Suddenly, Mariah Carey woke up with a happy scream, opened her eyes, and she had already opened the door and got out of the car, rushing to a large Florentine-style villa on the giant rocks of the Almafi coast in Malibu, "Invincible sea view! Ooooh ! Is the beach below ours too?"

"Yes, Miss Kelly, on both sides of the beach."

Hayden folded his hands and answered with a smile.

"Ahhh!"

She was overjoyed, and rushed back into the car, kissing Song Ya's face like a chicken pecking rice, "You are so romantic, honey, you are so kind, I like it here!"

"What here?" Song Ya shook his head, "Did I say something before I fell asleep?"

"You let old Mike drive here." Linda laughed.

"Damn it, I wanted to give you this surprise before the wedding..."

Song Ya was dragged out of the car by him, and took a deep breath of the fishy and sweet Pacific sea breeze, "Hayden, the choice here is good."

"How much?" she asked.

"It's for you, don't talk about money with me..." Song Ya smiled forcefully.

"This is the sunset platform. You can see the sunrise in this direction in the morning, and you can watch the sunset in the evening."

Hayden began to take a tour, "The porch and the interior are all in European classical style. The antique doors and all the wood carvings come from a certain earth king's court in Asan. The British robbed it. The glass painting is all handmade. This sink is made by Europeans. It was transformed from a fountain sculpture, this sink is a giant shell, a real shell, Miss Kelly, you will know it when you touch it..."

"Ooh!"

She kept exclamating with satisfaction.

"This is the largest terrace with a cliff below and a panoramic sea view. The party atmosphere here is simply invincible..."

Finally, Hayden led them to a large terrace, "The former owner of the villa was..."

Song Ya and she didn't listen carefully, they leaned on the fence together and looked into the distance. The bad mood brought by the bad news seemed to disappear.

"Um……"

She tilted her head, and suddenly asked: "Suddenly showing courtesy to me for nothing, did you do something wrong?"

"It really ruins the atmosphere..."

A woman's intuition? Song Ya's heart tightened, "Since you are so suspicious, I asked Hayden to return the house?"

"No!"
