"Then I have nothing to suggest."
It’s not that Doug Morris doesn’t understand this. His question just now is just to elicit the following words, “What about you? ?"
"I never take advantage of the fire."
Song Ya didn't dare to trust Doug Morris completely, shook his head and said he was not interested, "And that copyright library is too big and too expensive."
"It seems that mj and Sony have signed an agreement that year. Both parties have the right of first refusal to purchase each other and only need to match the external quotation."
Daniel added.
So it can lead to the next sentence, "Or the other way around with mj? Sony’s stock price plummeted today, triggering an earthquake in the Tokyo stock market, and the Nikkei index also plummeting. According to their first quarter 2003 financial report, sales The profit was 100 billion yen less than expected."
"Ha ha."
Although the situation has frequently changed since the advent of the xbox, Microsoft, which can’t stand the wealth, would rather hurt people with this. For every xbox sold by Microsoft at a loss, users will probably buy less of a Sony 2 game console, plus Other mp3 walkman products such as ipodbeats have revolutionized the life of the cd walkman. It is strange that Sony's earnings report can still be good.
Song Ya pursed his lips, enjoying the pleasure of revenge a little bit, "Impossible, they have spent countless money on that copyright library for more than ten years, and this little setback is nothing to a large electronics giant, they don't know how to overcome it. How many times have you been in similar situations?"
"Yeah, think about how much they burned for Columbia Pictures..." Daniel agreed.
"And you know, my personal relationship with mj is not very good, almost never contact." Song Ya said again.
"Well, it's not easy for everyone."
Doug Morris mentioned: "Vivendi Universal is also looking for buyers for Universal Entertainment Group and U.S. Television Network."
"We heard."
Although they have escaped the bankruptcy caused by Arthur Andersen’s false accounting problems by reporting huge losses for two consecutive years, the French are still in domestic and foreign difficulties, their ratings have been downgraded, their market value has shrunk, and their liquidity has dried up. The day after resignation, 13 yuan nodded, which was equivalent to more than 80 billion lost compared to the peak.
As the financial institutions of both countries in the U.S. and France were all murdered inside, the U.S. government and the French government and investors were furious. The two places are still investigating the culprits such as Messier.
After Messier sold the Seagram wine business, his successor, Futu, continued to sell off his assets to survive. In October last year, they sold Vivendi Universal Publishing Group to its French counterpart Lagardère to bail out. Unfortunately, this deal touched the monopoly line of France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain and other countries. Lagardère later had to sell Vivan Di Global Publishing Group sold 60% of its shares to an Italian company and only retained 40% of its elite assets.
In November last year, Vivendi Global sold 20% of its water giant Veolia.
In February of this year, they sold the French newspaper group in their hands.
A series of fire sales finally relieved the pressure on Vivendi Global’s liquidity, but it was not enough. They had to come and put the big ones again. This time it was Universal Entertainment and U.S. TV. Dingy withdrew from the U.S. media industry.
Doug Morris must have the intention of copying the old ways of the Seagram wine industry, hoping that the Black Pharaoh will also take down Universal Music, and change the door himself, no longer be angry with Ron Meyer.
But this is impossible. The Seagram wine industry is a high-quality asset, and the rescue is also to save the younger Bronfman uncle and cousin. Universal Entertainment, especially Universal Music, is not in a good business situation, and contains a lot of little Bronfman’s personal holdings. Some shares, it is said that the US TV network bubble is also very big, Song Ya can not participate in raising the price to help the old enemy get out, and the funds and preparation work are insufficient, he and Sloan thought that the French should rather sell a profitable game company , Must also keep to the death the media influence in the United States, which was acquired with great difficulty.
On the contrary, Song Ya is quietly spreading public opinion, trying to influence the desire of other potential buyers to buy, and disturb the business. "Are big companies interested?" Just to spy on intelligence.
"It's not easy to say for the time being, as long as the price is right... I think there will be."
Doug Morris is still on guard against this before the last moment to throw all his heart out.
"He has grown a lot in recent years..."
Watching the silver-haired Doug Morris leave in a low-key manner, Song Ya sighed.
"It's hard for him. Universal Music is actually on the right track under his management."
Although there is no bet on the teenage pop trend, with the gradual digestion of the huge bubble of Polaroid and the emergence of super newcomers such as Eminem, Daniel believes that although Universal Music is still losing money, the status quo is not that bad. If Apple and your music store can help them grab a portion of the profits from online pirated music, it may not be far from turning losses into profits."
"Well, let's go."
The two returned to Johnny Carson's mansion, where there was a documentary film crew who was shooting the old man's documentary, preparing for the announcement of the upcoming autobiography.
Johnny Carson is already in poor health, but he is still in good spirits today. The old man is sitting on the sofa, his young wife is sitting on the left armrest, and on the right is the autobiography author in charge of writing, and Jenny who is the host for a guest interview. Opposite the trio, she is also one of the producers of this feature documentary produced by Litman Publishing House, which is responsible for the production of Channel A.
After a few glances outside the door, she didn't bother to go in. Song Ya didn't want to be photographed by the camera to show up here, and stayed with Daniel again, waiting for Jenny to leave work.
"Mj will launch a counterattack in the near future, and the location is likely to be in the UK."
At Jack Warner Manor in Beverly Hills, David Geffen called Harvey, "Others are already there."
Contrary to Song Ya's poor relationship with the upper echelons of the British drama circle but no deep hatred with the tabloid paparazzi, MJ has a very good relationship with the upper echelons of the British music circle and treats each other like a hatred with the tabloid paparazzi.
The two are equally loved by British fans.
As an English-speaking country, the news of the British counterattack can be transmitted back to the United States as soon as possible.
Harvey knows this naturally, "Fight against the case? Or something else?"
"Sony Columbia Records, they just announced that they will release MJ's selected album numberones in November, which is also part of our deal with Howard Stringer." David Geffen replied.
November is a critical time point in their plan. At that time, Dreamland District Attorney Tom Snyden will officially send mj to court again, and Sony Columbia Records will take the opportunity to release mj’s selected albums and make another profit. , Black and red are also red, the status quo of record sales for the defendant r Kelly fully proves this point.
"So mj is still obsessed with the conflicts with Sony regarding the album release?"
Harvey smiled, "Then he shouldn't encourage the fans to drive Ricklubin away. Who can he blame now? It's too reluctant to make the new president who has just arrived."
"Poor Rick, who is still recuperating in Switzerland, licking his wounds." David Geffen said.
"He asked for it, but his willpower is too weak."
