"Alright, we can relax without a home team. We don't have to suffer in the stands anymore. We will flash after the performance."
Shakira was really sad, and this time it was Song Ya's turn to comfort her.
"APLUS, something big happened."
Hayden, who came to pick up people, reported in a panic, "Polygram suddenly announced the suspension of trading on the London Stock Exchange when you were just on the court, and the press conference is already open."
"Not so fast, is it?"
A tens of billions of mergers and acquisitions... Does Warner catch up from behind? Wouldn't it be so fast?
The hotel was nearby, and a group of people hurried back. Linda was already following relevant news in the suite.
It is impossible for Polygram's London press conference to be broadcast live. At present, only the latest news from live text reporters is released through the media.
"Is it the merger case?" Song Ya asked Linda.
"It should be. The people from Universal are present, and Mr. Bronfman Jr. is also there." Linda replied, she only knew so much for the time being.
It's really possible...
Song Ya called in the publicity staff accompanying Universal Records again, "Do you know anything?"
"I don't know, we don't know anything about Mr. APLUS."
Universal will not expressly suppress itself in any way. These middle-level publicity personnel still follow what they should do. The global distribution channels are also mostly like this. President Doug Morris gets stuck by controlling the investment of resources, but the company is running The inertia is still there, and middle- and lower-level migrant workers can't get along with each other. They continue to work normally and just do what they should.
"Don't be so nervous Linda, this has nothing to do with us."
Song Ya noticed that Linda was very nervous with her hands on her chest, staring at the TV motionlessly, letting Hayden keep changing channels, looking for a few words in the news.
"This is the same as us and Mo..." Linda wanted to talk to Motula, and noticed that the person in the suite changed his words: "It's not the same as when you were in Sony Columbia Records."
She knows the hostility of the little Bronfman towards herself. If Universal really wins Polygram, then little Bronfman will have the world’s largest music group in his hands, plus Universal Pictures, Seagram Wines, Other messy media... the reputation of the Bronfman family in the Jewish community.
After today, the rich three generations will be stronger, much stronger, and the countdown will be more pressing before he turns his attention back to internal affairs.
"Maybe... well, you guys go out for a while."
Song Ya drove away the irrelevant personnel such as Universal, "Honey, we have to do something, yourself..."
"Yeah." Shakira obediently did her own thing.
"Sloan, have you heard anything? No?"
"Mr. Geffen, today Polygram's London press conference..."
Song Ya called back to ask people, and refreshed the YAHOO page. His news section has Reuters cooperative feeds. It should be one of the media that can get the news and release it the fastest.
‘Express news, Seagram Global Group acquired Polygram, and the dust has settled! ’
Click, as the page refreshed again, a brief message came into view, Song Ya's heart... I can't say that it sinks, but there are indeed some expectations, some wishes, knowing that there is a great possibility of coming. But I still have the feeling of fluke failure.
"I thought my messing-up effect was very good, and I can toss it for a long time. Warner just joined the battle again, at least it can't be done during the World Cup? I didn't expect..."
He frowned and nodded to the text, and said to the same title as Che Yun, "Linda, Hayden!" He greeted the two men who were still staring at the TV, "Look here."
"Didn't Universal Music acquire Polygram Records?" Linda asked.
"Since Young Bronfman does not allow Polygram to spin off companies like Polygram Pictures in advance, it must be an entire acquisition."
Hayden analyzes: "Siegram Global Group is not common. It should be the main body of the acquisition. It seems that the Bronfman family is going all out this time."
"Mr. David Geffen." David Geffen called back.
"APLUS, do you have any latest news?" David Geffen asked.
"you are not……"
This guy even ran to ask himself ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and didn't know if it was pretending, "I guess this is the last one I know, right? Mr. Geffen."
David Geffen cursed swear words on the other side of the phone and hung up, as if he really didn't know.
"New news!"
Hayden issued a new newsletter, ‘Super Century M&A Case! Seagram Global Group acquires Polygram for $11.8 billion! ’
Song Ya's eyelids twitched when he saw this figure, so cruel! Polygram's listed companies in London do not include all of its subsidiaries, but they must be regarded as the main company, with a market value of just over 7 billion, 8 billion dollars? He mentally calculated that adding up the other assets of PolyGram Films, he barely touched the tens of billions mark at most, and he couldn't count the number of 118.
Moreover, PolyGram itself is still a master of bubble blowing, and there may be other transactions.
Of course, the news is definitely inaccurate now. He clicked on the text. Reuters did not provide the text. He only gave a picture, which was gradually refreshed from top to bottom under the slow internet speed of the hotel.
Yes, the little Bronfman wearing gold-rimmed glasses in the picture is handsome, and he is proudly toasting with others, whether it is because of drunkenness or excitement, with a very obvious red on his face.

Chicago 1990 Chapter 1207: Get started early
On the 28th, in Paris, Song Ya woke up naturally with trembling eyelids.
"SHXT!"
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, "Why don't you call me?"
"Linda told us not to wake you." Shakira walked into the bedroom in response, "Really, I didn't go to bed until seven in the morning."
"It's okay to stay up late occasionally."
Song Ya got up and rushed into the bathroom, "I can't make it to the court soon, right?"
"The round of 16 between Brazil and Chile didn't start until 8 pm," Shakira replied.
"Oh……"
No need to worry, he slowed down his teeth after hearing the words.
Last night and Linda and the others followed the latest developments of the Polly Gold case overnight. The more definite information is that the Bronfman family is really playing this time. Yesterday, Little Bronfman and Polygold did not sign any intentional documents. It is not a share swap merger, but Seagram Universal Group invested 11.18 billion to acquire Polygram, including all assets such as records, film companies, fixed assets, copyright libraries, and media. Polygram’s shares have been suspended on the London Stock Exchange and have begun the delisting process. It is estimated that the time when it will obtain the relevant country’s license and complete all the acceptance work will be January 1, 1999.
In other words, PolyGram is already owned by Seagram Global Group, and it is a transitional period from now to January 1st next year.
Little Bronfman was a bit of a blitzkrieg this time. Not only he, Warner and the other three major record companies did not react. In response to the media's allegations, they all had to wait for the company to confirm. It is not convenient to express opinions now...
"I was told to return to the United States for a meeting."
Song Ya packed up her personal hygiene and went out. Linda, who stayed up with her all night, was about to leave. "The merger of the record businesses of the two companies should be the fastest and smoothest, depending on the changes in the senior management."
The merger will not have any impact on the labels of the record company, but the head office can only have one set of leadership. It depends on the young Bronfman who stays or not. Judging from this perspective, let him spare his energy to deal with personal grievances. In the early days, the record industry alone had a lot of affairs that he needed to handle himself.
