Chapter 824 Failed Listing
"Be careful with Lee Phillips, you shouldn't be looking for him. The appearance of him and Sandy Glen means that there is a high probability that David Geffen behind them will find a way to intervene in your public and private affairs. Remember what happened to MJ? ? ended up paying David Geffen a big 'breakup fee' to get rid of them."
The Sutton family is a neighbor, and it will only take a while to drive there. Taking advantage of this time alone, Song Ya gave her own advice. Although she has a good relationship with David Geffen and has a feud with MJ, the top singer There must be hidden dangers in the party's control of brokerage and legal affairs. MJ's final choice was to pay some money to drive them out, although part of the reason was to vent his anger because the 1993 case was messed up.
"At least for the time being, it is beneficial to me. They are willing to help my Star Dream Tears." Mariah Carey replied.
"I would too." Song Ya said.
"Hmph, the more people who contribute, the better." She chuckled.
It seems that she is also using each other. Song Ya recalled the time before the two made their relationship public in a trance. At that time, she felt much smarter than later, especially after marrying herself. Now everything seems to be back to the original state Well, she wasn't stupid...maybe it was because she loved herself too much at that time.
but……
"Don't be too confident in yourself, I don't think you can beat them." Song Ya glanced at Sandy Glenn's car through the rear window, "I didn't say that because of Lee Phillips' attitude towards me just now."
"You take care of yourself."
"Okay, during pregnancy...have you got all the professionals? I heard that singing your high pitch will affect the fetus."
"Well, I found it. Actually, I don't know if it's because of the estrogen level. I feel that I have been singing very well recently, and my voice is very moist..."
While chatting, the old Mike stopped the car, and she stepped out first. There were many reporters in front of Sutton's house, and she began to pose beautifully in front of the flashing lights, smiling sweetly and stylized.
"Mrs. Song, Miss Kelly, let's talk about your new movie!"
"You and BoyzIIman's new song will also be airborne on the B chart this week, right? It is rumored that it will directly win the championship?"
"Talk about your collaboration with BoyzIIman, who do you like best among the four?"
Her new single OneSweetDay has been overwhelming since it hit the charts. One of the most popular DIVAs and the most popular boy group, they have joined forces. The quality of the song itself is also high. It is still a positive memory of old friends and lyrics with religious elements. , In Beimi, there is a posture of killing everything.
"APLUS, hey." When Song Ya appeared later, the reporters all laughed, "Do you feel the pressure from your wife?"
"Congratulations, the first concert was a success!"
"Is there any new program here in New York on the Seventh?"
In everyone's eyes, the two are undoubtedly the most money-grabbing couple in the entertainment industry. They both released their specials at the end of the year, and they both have movie projects. Okay? Right..."
The reporters coaxed the two of them to embrace each other. She pouted as usual, put her arms around Song Ya's neck, and her lips touched her cheeks.
After being 'bombed', the two walked into the Sutton family's manor arm in arm. As the richest of the old men in the Manhattan gang, Percy Sutton still saved some money, which is different from being in charge The previous inner-city broadcaster was on the verge of bankruptcy without conflict.
"I was wearing second-hand clothes when I first came to Manhattan from Chicago..."
Not long after entering the door, everyone gave another speech. His classic narrative of the poor boy realizing the American dream is getting more and more proficient. He doesn’t repeat it completely. There are small additions, changes and iterations every time, and he will say different things according to different occasions. beautiful words, "I have great respect for Mr. Percy Sutton,
And Pierre, which is why I invested in the inner city broadcasting company, I firmly believe that African-American media has a bright and great future..."
In the applause of everyone's attention, he ended his speech, "Okay, I will leave this to my wife Maria, she is in charge of all my affairs." Then he plagiarized a line that Underwood likes to use to introduce his wife Claire's stalk.
"Thank you, thank you all." Mariah Carey took the center position coquettishly, "I'm a New York girl, always have been, when I was a kid..."
Her speech level is not bad, but now she feels more like a social machine that never makes a mistake, more perfect, and less emotional. In fact, this is not bad? Song Ya listened with a smile and secretly thought in her heart, is it really impossible to have both a woman who loves herself but makes all kinds of troubles, and a woman who doesn't love herself but always stays by her side in a perfect state?
"APLUS, DTS's roadshow results are terrible, maybe we should prepare for the worst."
After fulfilling their mutual obligations, the two separated. She went to entangle the famous business director Spielberg, and Song Ya was dragged into the study by DeLay, Goldman Sachs black executive Smith, and DTS founder Terry Beard. .
"What's worse?" Song Ya asked.
"The issue price has to be lowered a bit. After the listing, the total market value of DTS will only be 200 million, or a little over 200 million."
Goldman Sachs originally estimated that it was less than 300 million, about 270 million to 290 million, which is not far behind...
"Is it okay? I'll try my best to brag about it tomorrow, will there be a miracle?"
They are all professionals, and Song Ya himself rarely intervenes. Besides, how many shares he has, after listing, 3.2%, 5% of the voting rights, and one director.
Tomorrow is the day before the listing, so I will do my best and just let fate go, "Netscape's issue price is only 24, and the last opening price is 72..."
"DTS is not an Internet stock. Those Internet stocks are crazy now." Smith complained, "Including Netscape, the seven Internet stocks that went public in 1995 were called the Seven Sisters by some people on Wall Street. It's disgusting."
Smith was born as a chemist and tends to the industrial field, so he has not caught up with the wave of the Internet.
"Anyway, let's end all of this as soon as possible. I'm content with being listed." The slow Terry Beard has no big ideas. Even if DTS only has a total market value of 200 million, his personal worth can be tens of millions. There is a huge gap between the expected one-shot billionaire.
"Mr. Spielberg..." Song Ya wanted to pull Spielberg over for a chat.
"He seems to want to sell part of the shares as soon as the six-month lifting period expires. The amount is not small. Wall Street and investors have probably heard some related rumors. Otherwise, why do you think the issue price has been lowered again?" DeLay said.
It seems that other people are very dissatisfied with Spielberg's approach. It turns out that the big director wants to cash out, unless it is a highly sought-after bull stock. The rumor that shareholders are trying to cash out in large quantities will undoubtedly give the market a clear answer. Bearish signal.
"He won't say this to the outside world, right? Isn't he still in the silent period?" Song Ya asked.
"Who knows, anyway, if someone says that, of course he won't admit it." The man in the green shirt said, "What about you? APLUS, your shares in Netscape will be lifted in March next year, right? Are you sure you're ready for that?" A large amount of cash?"
"Uh, it's inconvenient to disclose this." Song Yaxin said, what's the matter? Want to make a surprise attack on me? Humph, no way! "In short, I won't cash out the DTS shares. Don't worry, Ms. Alicia Flock managed to win me my directorship from you. Oh, by the way, Alicia is now the governor's wife .”
"We know she just called me to apologize for not being there in person," Terry Beard laughed.
Teaming up with Spielberg, Song Ya participated in Nasnac's IPO bell ringing ceremony for the second time after working hard to help DTS for a whole day.
However, everyone’s interest was not high this time. Spielberg was not even present. DTS fell below the issue price during the call auction. After a brief rise in the opening market, it turned around and fell, drawing a deadly negative line. .
"One hundred and seventy million..."
The group left in batches after participating in the closing event and taking group photos with smiling faces. Terry Beard could accept it. Spielberg, who was not present, seemed to have no intention of going. He was very enthusiastic at the beginning and had high expectations. For Goldman Sachs and Green Shirt Capital, it seemed like a failure, and Di Lai was not happy, "How much is our 3.2% worth? Five million or so! I was planning to pledge this part of the shares for next year. What about the hardware investment for America Music.com.”
"By the way, De Lay, what do you plan to launch the American music website in the next year?" Song Ya also knows that next year will be the last year before De Lay gets the 15% equity incentive, and he will not die next year Listed, "The Internet stocks should be in good shape next year, but not necessarily in the year after. The website can't find a profit model now, so don't play it off."
"Don't worry, they won't. None of the Seven Sisters can make a profit. It's not popular to look at multi-year profit records on Wall Street now, especially for Internet stocks." DeLay replied confidently.
"I'm willing to give you the equity incentive, I promised." Song Ya reiterated her position, "You don't have to take risks because of this concern when you consider business. I don't want to lose a director of DTS. In the beginning, it was because I was optimistic about the future of surround sound..."
"I understand APLUS. If I screw up, you can punish me and drive me away. I know how rich you are, and A+ Audio Company will never get out of your control." De Laili issued a military order.
I just lost a large amount of real estate after divorce, and then I have to pay for the children with Charis. Next year, A+CN will invest a large amount of money. Song Ya shook her head and didn't say anything more to her old brother. This year, her second college, Fergie's second album is selling well, and the cash cow of A+ records is still very stable, waiting for the settlement at the beginning of next year.
I can even get some songwriting income from Mariah Carey's record sales, because she stuffed the Malibu she gave her into the new album Daydream, and stuffed StepUp and ANONO into the movie "Tears of Star Dream" Soundtrack.
"Honey, are we going back?" Mariah Carey came over affectionately and took his arm naturally.
"Yes, how was the chat with Mr. Spielberg?"
In front of people, the two were still so sweet, talking and laughing, saying hello and farewell to various distinguished guests, and then boarded the car and returned to Bedford Hills.
"Go back to your Tribeca." Old Mike drove the car into the manor. After she got out of the car, she closed the door without waiting for her 'husband' to come out.
