The final stage of the general election is in full swing outside. In addition to work, life and study, Song Ya himself does not need to spend too much energy to support the election, as long as the money and resources are in place.
He did several things during this period. One was to appease the Wall Street Sheriff Spitzer through David Patterson of the Manhattan Gang in the Lyle Cohen case; the other was to formally negotiate the acquisition of Houghton Mifflin. The matter also used Littman Media’s private placement to dilute the shareholding ratio of the pretenders, Redstone’s Viacom Group; the third is to sell the shares of Juniper and other companies with stockbroker O’Grady, and at the same time for YAHOO and YAHOO. Juniper and other heavy stocks are looking for institutional buyers.
In the meantime, Litman, who has always been dissatisfied with the domain name of the American music website, proposed to acquire the MP3 website, because the market value of the MP3 website has fallen from a billion dollars in the past to the most successful one to less than 100 million dollars with the stock market crash.
The reason that makes them worse off than the American website is that the infringement lawsuit between them and Universal Music is about to lose...
This company is also interesting. At the beginning, when the Internet music sharing atmosphere was still in its nascent and unregulated state, it was the first time that the RIAA represented the record industry by RIAA to represent the record industry with the clicks brought by the enjoyment and indulgence sharing with websites such as Amerika Music. After the warning, the first one was frightened and became an independent music website.
Then when Amerika Music began to strictly abide by the Digital Millennium Act, Napster rose. They saw Napster's revenue from the MP3 format music sharing and the traffic and venture capital pursuit, and regretted it after listing expectations. They jumped back and continued to infringe wildly, and they were lucky. Caught up with the Internet trend, and the IPO was a big success. Napster, which has more traffic than them, and is more eye-catching, has yet to be listed.
As a result, the MP3 website was quickly abandoned by investors due to the double blow of the global lawsuit and the stock market crash, and the stock price plummeted, and it was forced to turn back to beg Global for mercy. There are rumors that, in order to obtain a reconciliation with Universal Music, website executives and investors are willing to sell it for about 80 million dollars. The scenery at the time when the market value of more than one billion yuan was like an illusion to them, of course the founders, shareholders, executives and venture capitalists should have partially cashed out before.
"In other words, they have nowhere to go except to sell to Universal Music?" Song Ya asked.
"Yes, winning the MP3 website at a low price is also beneficial to the personal career of Universal Music President Doug Morris. It can alleviate the negative impact of his DefJam's Lyle Cohen case, and create a small space for Vivendi Universal before going public in the country. Good news."
Daniel replied: "Although the lawsuit against the MP3 website and Napster was actually promoted by the young Bronfman."
The rich three generations...In fact, some things are done right, such as resolutely cracking down on Internet infringements. For example, last year we predicted the bursting of the Internet bubble in advance...
Even the monopolistic case that has been plagued by Vivendi Universal's assistance from Goldman Sachs, Lehman, and Solomon Smith Barney to go to the market in the United States, the Ministry of Commerce of the United States has also died down. The price dropped sharply to around 100 million dollars, which can be described as a super discounted price.
It's a pity that the rich three generations did not hold on to the day of victory...
Different positions are different. Song Ya and Underwood did not pursue the matter again, but it does not mean that the Avengers will sympathize with the rich three generations, "then there is no way." He shrugged to Litman.
Littleman was rather disappointed. "The MP3 website is not good. The domain name of the American music website always needs to be changed, right? Buy one that is loud, simple, not that long, and easy for netizens to remember."
"No problem, let's think of another way."
Song Ya patted his arm encouragingly, "Oh yes, you have to be responsible for persuading Ms. Shirley Fleming."
"Okay." Littleman nodded and agreed.
Shirley Fleming, the editor-in-chief of Amerika Music Magazine, has always disagreed with the site to change the domain name. The old lady is very stubborn, but her health is worse than every day, and she has rarely managed the specific affairs of the magazine.
"Ms. Sloan, they are here."
Standing in front of the window, Daniel happened to see a group of white men in suits and leather shoes, led by Sloan, coming from the headquarters of Litman Media on the opposite side.
"OK, let's go down and welcome it."
Song Ya and the two went out to the elevator.
The merger between Littman Publishing and Houghton Mifflin Press, a subsidiary of Littman Media, has come to an end. The visitors are all Houghton Mifflin’s board members, company executives and the presidents of its subsidiaries.
In fact, Houghton Mifflin was negotiating with Vivendi for the sale before Vivendi merged with Global. Unexpectedly, shareholders dragged Vivendi for bargaining and dragged Vivendi’s own protection, so they had to rush to find another buyer. Since they are important competitors of Littman Publishing House in the fields of secondary education films and holding much more market share than Littman Publishing House, Sloan quickly hit it off with them.
As for the publication of famous works such as Mark Twain...Holden Mifflin has long lost its influence in the past. At present, it basically only focuses on the English education publishing market, ranking first in the domestic market share in the United States.
2.2 billion, entering the 21st century when traditional paper media is gradually desolate, it is a good price.
"APLUS!"
The elevator door opened, and I didn’t expect to meet Quincy Jones who came to the door. The old man looked angry. When he saw Song Ya, he asked: "What do you mean by M-FXXK? I made a good start for your street dance competition... …You throw me away after you use me!?"
The first season of ACE’s ace column hip-hop contest is coming to an end. In fact, all the shooting tasks have been recorded, because the old man’s bad temper and personality when he was a judge is really unpopular with TV audiences. The second season of ACE Taiwan has no plans to renew his contract.
"Hey, Quincy."
Daniel and Litman hurriedly shared the concerns for Song Ya, and stopped the angry old man with a smile on the left and the right, "We are in a hurry to pick up Houghton Mifflin's people. Can you wait a moment?"
"Little Nger, you are always like this, turning your face to deny people."
Quincy Jones will not stab Daniel and Litman, but he is not afraid of Song Ya. The old man has been so tempered for so many years. Even the baby girl is... right? "I created this high ratings column for you, and the host of Rashida also performed very well. As a result, you are going to kick me out now? This little Nger..." scolded.
"Isn't Rashida renewed?"
Song Yana, an old man and cheap father-in-law, can’t do anything about it. “It’s not you who didn’t renew the contract. Director Anne Fletcher won’t be here for the next season.”
Of course, he used a little bit of speech. Anne Fletcher voluntarily withdrew because she wanted to concentrate on directing next year's Dance My Life 4. Only MCHammer renewed the contract among the three judges.
"I don't care, anyway, you don't want to fire me so easily, I heard that MCHammer got a good contract!?" Quincy Jones was angrily.
