"Yes, operating a traditional industry needs to endure long-term boring work, which he can't do at all. After promoting Grey Goose vodka, a major product, he has basically forgotten the wine business except for regularly reading reports. The clothing business doesn’t seem to be bothering much..."
"Cross-border geniuses are unable to concentrate because they have too extensive interests. Play this today and play that tomorrow."
"Yes, half of my studies go abroad for concerts..."
"When I got tired of pop music, I started playing gospel chorus."
"And those women..."
"We know that he has made most of his net worth in the stock market in the past few years, and he has easily made billions and billions of quick money. It is indeed unnecessary to continue to stare at clothing and wine. He is also hardworking and energetic. Time work, we just feel a little pity..."
"Of course we are both old minds, maybe we can't keep up with this era, haha..."
Barry Diller smiled at the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes and listened in silence. He sketched in his mind an APLUS character portrait that had not been studied in depth before, and tried to figure it out.
The other party in the conference call that day was suddenly very excited and threatened Doug Morris, but this made himself and David Geffen keenly grasp his true psychology, that is, he was not very emboldened in the mutual harm with the young Bronfman. Sufficiently, he guessed that behind the Bronfman's request for the merging of A+ records and records, he probably had some conclusive handle, otherwise he would not say to Doug Morris, "I never accept threats."
Because I knew very well that the little Bronfman actually said 99% of it casually.
But put yourself in the position, whoever faces the pressure of the Bronfman family will at least be a little imaginary, even if he is not imaginary, he will definitely be imaginary, otherwise he will be a completely lunatic lunatic, and he does not deserve to earn thirty Billions of wealth.
It's all the same, why isn't it like that?
APLUS, the youngest self-made billionaire, must have a pile of dirt hidden under his glamorous appearance...
As long as the conditions are right, APLUS is willing to compromise. David Geffen and himself discovered this at the same time. The two 3 billion tycoons hardly decouple their entangled business from each other, and there are plenty of opportunities for making money.
"Uh, Mr. Diller, we told you this because the boss took care of us. I hope that what we said just now will not be spread..." The two old men finished complaining.
The'boss' is still referring to the old Bronfman.
"Of course not, I just talked with Edgar, and he also agreed with me that business is business, and it is not good for both parties to be stuck with APLUS." Barry Diller replied.
"Little Edgar there..."
"He also agreed."
"Really?" The two old men smiled, but immediately showed a little unbelief.
"Yes, he was too busy. I advised him to give himself a good vacation after he returned from Washington, but he flew to Xiangjiang non-stop. Anyway, you talk to me about a certain stage of the transaction details, and I will tell him ."
At the same Universal Music headquarters in Los Angeles, "Has the boss arrived in Hong Kong?" President Doug Morris asked his subordinates.
"I just arrived at the hotel, now I should be resting, jet lag."
"OK."
He put down the hand extended to the landline, and the company has entered the next stage of integration of Polygram Records, which is to straighten out some of its brands with complicated equity structure as much as possible through means such as redemption or spin-off and sale, streamlining management and saving Costs, as well as various repairs and internal mergers, in order to go public as scheduled, some of the bubbles that PolyGram used to blow must not be broken in its own hands.
He was naturally very busy. The boss, the young Bronfman, was calm on the surface, but he should also be very anxious. He hurriedly went to Asia to put out the fire as soon as he agreed to let APLUS go. Because he did not continue to manage with the former high-level Polygold Norman Zheng Sure enough, there have been a lot of mistakes in that area recently.
But Barry Diller, David Geffen and himself know the character of the rich three generations very well, and no one dares to pack a ticket. Will he change his mind when he returns from Asia, so at least he is interested in reaching an agreement with APLUS as soon as possible. Are interlinked.
Because of APLUS’s angry and threatening words, Barry Diller and David Geffen, two old foxes, were actually willing to decouple that day when they saw APLUS. They sensed the “business opportunity” and saw it in their eyes but didn’t intend to pierce it. .
Of course, you can't let the transaction price, otherwise if the rich three generations come back, if they regret it, then they will have to go back.
"Ugh!"
He couldn't help sighing, it is very likely that he will be back. The character of the rich three-generation boss is just like that. Once APLUS successfully decouples from the world, it will be a big tiger. The new special movie project diamond money printing machine is restarted. , When the time comes, the media will fan the flames and say something strange about the boss...
Shouldn't sign him, shouldn't buy A+ records, shouldn't let him go, let him go and still not complete the task of continuing to suppress...
It must be me again who was scolded by the rich three-generation boss pointing his nose...
But he had to do it. If the money printing machine was left at home, it would be better to take it out for cash, and after the release, the five major record companies would jointly block it...
Barry Diller actually has no plan to enter the recording industry, and the existence of his so-called friend is also very suspicious. Only he and himself know this matter. The old liar should not disclose it to David Geffen.
I hope that after APLUS leaves, I can't afford to toss any splashes, at least don't toss any splashes in the record industry. As for the movie project, it is not my own trouble.
"I heard some rumors that the Federal Trade Commission will receive a new grant next year to deal specifically with our old cases."
The subordinates observed his words and expressions and reported when his facial expression turned soft.
"What old case?" he asked.
"It was the monopoly case that year, the CD price was maintained at the resale price, and the six major defendants were the same."
The man answered.
"Ha ha……"
After so many years, there will be related rumors coming out at the end of each year. Doug Morris didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but after thinking about it, his brows wrinkled again, "I see. Go and check who is behind. promote."
Dismissed his hand, he took the exam alone, the temper of APLUS and Motula was dead, and he can control Daniel to some extent now, maybe he went crazy after the conference call that day, he didn't hesitate to sell Daniel. Directly accelerate the monopoly case?
That's a bit bad. Daniel was the president of Sony Columbia Records and the initiator of the CD price alliance, and the first person to respond was himself who was the president of Warner Records...
Not so, APLUS should indeed be willing to decouple. Today, I will send the wine business to see Barry Diller.
Is everything just a smoke bomb covering his revenge?
Once convicted of the establishment of a monopoly, Universal Music after the acquisition of Polygram will have to bear at least one third of the fine...
"Tsk!"
He smashed his mouth in annoyance, reached out to the landline, and stopped in mid-air for a long time before dialing.
"Doug!" Daniel's high-spirited voice came from the receiver, "my friend."
"You are not my friend, Daniel."
He said coldly: "You are a bit noisy..."
Daniel was very noisy. He heard men and women laughing, talking loudly, and the sound of wine glasses colliding, "Can you find a quieter place to talk?"
