Chapter 787?

‘After MJ entered the ATV/Sony copyright library, another African-American star, APLUS, encountered Waterloo in the record industry. He was kicked out of DefJam Records by Polygram today. '

Just entering October, a piece of news first pointed the camera at the logo of the old hip-hop label DefJam, and then slowly moved down to Hamlin who was answering the reporter's question. Surrounded by bodyguards and lawyers, he shook hands with DefJam president Lyle Cohen outside the company building.

APLUS spokesman Hamlin confirmed that APLUS has cleared all DefJam shares in his hands. He claimed that if viewed from an investment point of view, the return is huge, but he also admitted that the combination of the two parties was a short and failed marriage. It's good for each other to end the pain...'

On the top floor of the Sony Columbia Records Building, Song Ya and Daniel watched the news intently, "That's it, that's good, this news angle can save us a lot of trouble, this deal can't attract too much attention from the outside world, that's it..." Daniel rested his chin on his hand and said while weighing his feet slightly.

"Have a glass of wine to celebrate?"

Song Ya felt that his mental state was not right, so he went to the wine cabinet and poured two glasses of champagne with ease, "This business is all thanks to you Daniel."

Indeed, Daniel persuaded him to buy the shares of DefJam, and Daniel also taught him the way to make a profit. In order to end his mischief in DefJam, the management of PolyGram is willing to pay 50 million to buy him and Daniel to leave. How much did it cost to acquire this stake? 7.75 million, not relying on apocalypse, not selling records, purely relying on Daniel's power, brain and his own cooperation.

‘According to PolyGram’s announcement, in order to fully own DefJam Records, they paid 80 million knives to acquire nearly 30% of the shares from the remaining small and medium shareholders including APLUS. How much is DefJam Records worth? At $500 million, according to industry estimates, they made a good deal. '

Daniel took the wine glass casually, still staring at the TV, "APLUS, don't you want to invest some money in my personal record company?" He asked.

This guy even has to make up for the five million dollars. He bought back five percent of the entrusted holdings from himself for five million dollars before, and the income is 14.2 million. With an income of 35 million and 800,000 yuan at 12.6, Song Ya took a sip of his drink, "It's absolutely fine, I'll ask Hamlin to talk to your people, he happens to be in New York."

"Yeah." Daniel continued to concentrate on watching the news.

'APLUS and Mariah Carey's marriage also seems to be in trouble. Ever since APLUS left Mariah Carey's hand and got into the car alone in public, they have not appeared in the same frame at all, although both of them expressed a stable relationship in interviews , it's just that I've been in the new album announcement period recently, and I'm too busy with work...'

The scene was cut back to the studio from the "hands-off" scene that was repeatedly played by the entertainment station recently, "They are lying, aren't they?" APLUS was obviously angry with Mariah Carey at the time, maybe something happened in the banquet hall. ’ The host and guests began to gossip.

"There is a saying that APLUS caught Mariah Carey and other male friends behaving intimately on the spot, so..." A male guest said.

?

'! The love history of APLUS is much richer than that of Mariah Carey. ’ The female guest cut in and interrupted, "That kid would steal it when he was a teenager, his girlfriend's best friend, remember? Fergie cried so sadly."

'Women fought for him. ’ the host added.

‘It’s just APLUS’s new album announcement strategy. Every time a song is about to be released, he will play this trick. If I want to say it, his acting skills are really good. '

Another guest sneered, "It's just a blog post. Believe me, before the end of this month, he and Mariah Carey will be back together and join hands in talk shows or interviews..."

"You... you must be reconciled,

APLUS. "

Daniel finally turned off the TV, "I know you're mad at her, and so am I, but we have to move on, our alliance can't be destroyed from within, or it's going to end for me, and neither for you. She's a year A top-selling DIVA, and not as independent as you, she never follow suit to set up her own record company, all songs are released and copyrighted through Sony Columbia, even if you have no feelings for her, you must first coax her back, Then control her like Motura did in the past, which is good for everyone. At worst, you will play your own way in the future, as many celebrities and politician couples do."

"Play each..."

Song Ya curled her lips in displeasure, "Let me think about it again."

"Don't think about it for too long! Don't think about APLUS for too long, I smell something different..."

Daniel took a few quick steps in the room violently, "I'm not like Motura, and I'm not like the senior managers of Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures that Benzi begged to work in those years. I'm just a by-product of your last successful coup d'etat , although I was not willing to admit this before, but you have to understand that the price for Sony to kick me out is much less! You will be finished if I leave! Don’t blame me for not reminding you of APLUS in advance, this book has a bad impression on you, you have Your own record company didn’t even give Sony a 50% stake in accordance with the rules. The DTS you invested in belongs to the SD camp, which is hostile to the DVD camp of Sony and Philips. You also invested in VCD manufacturers and PC games Graphics card manufacturers, if I didn't know you, I would have thought you were against Sony on purpose! Didn't you see that Sony hasn't given you an ad since the MD player? They don't like you, let alone me , and vice versa."

Daniel said a lot of tongue twisters, and Song Ya also understood that what he said made sense, but he refused to renew his contract in 1997 anyway. What can Sony do with him? The stock price of Netscape is about to break through 100 knives, and the shares in his family alone are worth more than 200 million yuan, and the book is not easy now, the elephant party is still clamoring in the parliament to force the commander-in-chief to continue the trade war, the merger of the copyright library, Sony and MJ are soft and hard, and they are nothing more than trying to negotiate a cash payment of about 100 million yuan...

"You mean... Sony plans to fire you?" Song Ya asked, "When do you think it is?"

"I don't know, I should be able to fool around this year."

Daniel shook his head: "After controlling Mariah Carey, you and her should not discuss any issues of contract renewal publicly. You will discuss contract renewal next year, and she will be the year after the next year. The contract renewal issue between you two is the last one in my hand. It's a card, Sony can't give in if there is one less person!"

control? Although I have a strong desire to control, and I am also very cruel to Fergie and the others, but I feel that I can't do it to Mariah Carey. "The control you mean..."

"Coax her first, then dominate, brainwash, monitor, and force! Use all your tricks on women, you can do APLUS, I have confidence in you."

Daniel finished the drink in the glass, "Newman told her all the impact of that incident, she is feeling guilty now, you take the initiative to hook your fingers to satisfy a woman's emotional heart, she will never dare to act rashly again in the future, she now Panicked, very afraid of losing you, she is four years older than you! An Nger like you is hard to find!"

"Uh, did Newman tell you?" Song Ya felt that she was not that bad.

"Fxxk!"

Daniel suddenly smashed the wine glass to the ground, "I can see it myself! Don't f*cking dawdling with APLUS, do you really want me to die!?"

"Are you okay? Daniel." Song Ya had never seen him lose his composure like this.

"Fxxkyou! Can't understand the hint!? You should have taken care of your woman long ago! I was hurt by her! Do you have to make it clear?"

Daniel raised his head, his eyes were already red, and his mood suddenly changed from anger to pleading, "Help me, help me get through these two years of APLUS! Maybe Sony will go out by then, maybe their head office will change people I'm not like Doug Morris who stepped down from Warner Music and turned around and became the president of Universal Music!"
