"He is willing to sign for several seasons." The elevator was almost on the first floor. Song Ya scratched his head and gave Daniel a wink. "The same goes for Rashida."
"Will you talk about it later, Quincy?"
Daniel hugged Quincy Jones affectionately, preventing him from going out to make trouble in front of the guests, "Okay, well, let's go over there first..."
Quincy Jones was puffed up by Daniel while pushing him, his eyes fixed on Song Ya's increasingly distant back, "Okay, Daniel, I know how powerful this kid is now, I just complained a few words, no What about him!"
"That's good, that's good..." Daniel smiled hippiely, and the two watched Song Ya walk out of the door, bathed in the Chicago morning sun, and greeted a large group of white men in suits.
"APLUS..."
"welcome……"
Song Ya and Litman smiled and shook hands with everyone in Houghton Mifflin. Sloan stood by and introduced each other's names and positions one by one.
"It is said that your luck is very good. This time Littman Media suspended trading before the second wave of stock market crash. I think I can avoid the most irrational period in the capital market, right?"
Houghton Mifflin's head smiled and asked.
"Haha, it's just a coincidence."
The acquisition is a foregone conclusion. The internal adjustments after the merger are controlled by Sloan. Song Ya has nothing to intervene, as long as the big boss’s landlord entertains the guests, "I will show you a tour?"
"Okay, please."
"please."
The photo reporter outside repeatedly pressed the shutter until the group of people led by Song Ya entered the interior of the A+ Record Building, and ended the shooting mission.
During the visit, the chatting topics all revolved around the general election. Everyone knows who Song Ya supports, so they all pick what he likes to hear and say, "Wow, is this Mr. Ballmer?" Until the people in Houghton Mifflin looked at it. Take a group photo when Ballmer visited on the wall.
"Yes." Song Ya said cheerfully: "We took the photo when he came here for a meeting."
"He came to the record company for a meeting?"
"No, I sometimes schedule meetings of other companies under my banner here." Song Ya replied.
"Ballmer can finally relax. Microsoft has just reached a settlement with the Department of Justice."
The news of working as a publishing house is naturally very well-informed. People from Holden Mifflin asked: “I heard that the compromise condition is that Microsoft agrees that personal computer manufacturers can freely choose Windows desktops and disclose part of the source code of Windows software, so that Microsoft's competitors can also Ability to write applications on the operating system. Federal judges who violated the procedures and leaked secrets have also been fined and dismissed. These benefits will lead to a rebound in the software industry next week, right?"
"Haha this is hard to say..."
Song Ya will not express any opinions on the stock market, and confuse the past.
"They have a series of state-level lawsuits behind Microsoft, as well as a lot of lawsuits abroad to fight." Sloan took the conversation.
"Well, I know, the California lawsuit is dangerous?"
"should be."
The group of people walked into the large conference room, Song Ya consciously sat in the first position on the side of the long conference table, and Sloan sat on the top of his head.
In fact, there is nothing important to talk about. The senior executives of the branches of A, ACE and Litman Publishing have successively arrived. Many of them have dealt with the people of Houghton Mifflin, and they will be a family in the future. The atmosphere is relaxed.
As for the executives of Littman's other online listed companies, they are still being burned by the stock market crash and have no time to come to Chicago to spoil the atmosphere.
The three listed websites under Litman have been very sad. It has been a period of time since they have fallen by a meter per share, and they are now standard junk stocks.
Of course no one in the conference room will mention this.
"Want to drink hahaha?"
Houghton Mifflin’s people saw the assistants coming in with Martell Royal Salute brandy and wine glasses, and they all laughed and laughed, "By the way, I haven’t congratulated you yet on winning Mr. Seagram Winery APLUS."
"Nothing, it's only half." Song Ya pretended to be a little bit, and then invited her with a smile.
"The latest news." Sloan said after answering the phone: "Viacom has taken the BET TV network, $3.3 billion."
"Oh? Then Robert..." Song Ya raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.
"Yes, Robert Johnson will become a billionaire after the transaction is officially completed."
Sloan nodded, then added, "It's also the second African American billionaire after you."
"Then I'm going to call him to express my joy." Song Ya called BET boss Robert Johnson in front of everyone.
Robert Johnson was naturally in a good mood, and sighed hypocritically, "Hey! BET is like my child, I am still very reluctant, but I should also retire. The future belongs to you, APLUS..."
"Then do you have any plans next?" Song Ya asked the African-American media tycoon who had just gotten a large amount of cash... the former tycoon, he now has only cash left.
And myself...Litman Media is now a media group that spans the Internet, traditional publishing, news, and television industries. Although it may be far away from top giants such as Viacom, if you add A+ Entertainment and What about A+ Records, Metropolitan Records, Metropolitan Distribution Company, etc.? At least in terms of comprehensive market value, it is not weak anymore.
After ten years, is this report card okay today? Song Ya thought triumphantly.
"Not yet, let's do charity work." Robert Johnson replied.
"Enjoy life?"
"Haha, enjoy life...Yes." Robert Johnson has had no heart for the past two years. The entertainment transformation of BET has been successful, but the benefits are not large. The all-black entertainment channel has obviously met the ceiling, because black people are in the American music field. The influence of their music shows is also a threat to Viacom's station, so Redstone wanted to win BET a long time ago.
A TV network with around 20 subscribers in all meters sold 3.3 billion. Robert Johnson is not dissatisfied with this price, and Redstone is also quite a bit bloody.
Sloan subsequently announced some follow-up arrangements and plans for personnel adjustments during the meeting. After the Houghton Mifflin Department came over, Littman Publishing would basically be placed under their management, such as the market for middle school education films. Resources will also be managed uniformly.
Then came the grand welcome lunch. Song Ya was the center of the audience. He and everyone gathered in front of the TV to read the general election news. Everyone gathered around and expressed their opinions on the campaign strategies of Gore and George. .
"APLUS?" Rashida Jones appeared timidly behind him sometime to apologize for his father's offense in the morning.
So Song Ya found a place to accept her apology alone.
"What? OK, I'll come!"
Suddenly answering a call midway, he immediately put on his pants, threw Rashida hurried out to say goodbye to the guests, and then rushed directly to the 3DFX headquarters in Silicon Valley by private jet.
"Jim! Jim! Why are you leaving?"
Jim Keller, the chief designer of the new Voodoo chip, just handed in his resignation~www.mtlnovel.com~Song Ya slammed after him and shouted, "Wait for me!"
"I have completed my mission in 3DFX, and I have already negotiated with Broadcom, and I will go to them." Jim Keller was chased by the boss and explained back.
"Talk... are you done? The contract hasn't been signed yet, hehe..."
Song Ya cautiously laughed: "If you are dissatisfied with 3DFX, you can tell me directly."
"I have decided on Mr. APLUS, you promised that I can leave at any time, remember?" The top chip designer is so ruthless, "I am a waste of time in 3DFX."
