"Haha!" Song Ya saw Quincy Jones' old face with joy, and stretched out a hand to flick his forehead.
But this old thing was indeed invincible back then, and the replicas of the Grammy record player in the showcase were piled up like the wholesale ones.
"Haha! Here, Bo SS, this side belongs to Atlantic Records..."
The Atlantic Records is where Doug Morris really started. He is naturally more familiar with it, like a few treasures, "Zeppelin, Phil Collins, Velvet Underground, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles..."
In an era when discrimination is still prevalent, Atlantic Records is one of the most friendly labels to African-American musicians, except for Motown Records and other African-American labels. Therefore, Doug Morris can do it regardless of whether he goes to Universal or Warner. With the firm support of African-American musicians, he is above Antonio Reid, and blacks have no opinion.
The display space of Atlantic Records is naturally much darker than Warner Records. Since the Jazz Age, countless legendary black singers have stayed here. The earlier the time, the lower the mobility, and the more loyal the singer will stay for decades. There are a lot of them, and they are also diligent in sending songs, so every superstar has a large number of vinyl discs.
"call!"
This is his real territory, and he can leave ‘marks’ everywhere. Song Ya’s mood gradually improved a lot, "What a great treasure!"
Don't listen to the commentary and stroll down, and even start to understand why the Little Bronfman, MJ, Sony, etc. have a perverted collector's addiction to these treasures.
He intuitively felt that the price of 2.5 billion dollars and the burden of 500 million dollars in debt would not lose money here, although as entertainment methods become more abundant and piracy is rampant, people are less likely to spend money on these old songs.
"Yeah yeah…"
The executives behind echoed.
Everyone has a very good attitude, and many of them are really sincere and not just flattering. Nonsense, I came here for the first time after more than half a month after the acquisition, and I am very restrained from the big boss who never dictates. Rich man, idol of idols.
As for the layoffs and the huge personnel earthquake that complained about outside? The executives who can appear here are all ‘survived’ themselves, aren’t they?
"Over there is our label in Nashville..."
Both Warner Records and Atlantic Records have a large number of small and medium-sized labels in the country music town of Nashville, and this part is also the most ‘white’, white country singers in the same water.
"Hahaha!"
Coaxed into comfort, Song Ya smiled all the way and ended the visit, and walked into the chairman's office reserved for him, "Doug, I have been chairman of too many companies, wait for your side to successfully complete the acquisition of Metropolis by the end of the year. The distribution company and Daniel’s Glass Records, I’m going to let you lose this position altogether, how about it?"
As a major shareholder holding more than 50% of the shares, the position of chairman is just a fake name, and his energy is indeed insufficient. Song Ya generously throws out his favor.
"Please rest assured, Bo SS."
Doug Morris had seen it a lot, and thanked him without surprise, "Is it finished before the end of the year?"
"Yes, the time point is about before Disney's extraordinary shareholders meeting. The timely announcement of this news will help me fight over there."
Daniel, the small record company that has been losing money all the year round, is insignificant. Doug Morris deliberately hangs on Daniel but he knows Daniel too well. If there are no obstacles, Daniel's appetite will only be greater.
The Metropolitan Distribution Company is completely different. It has the distribution rights of some Metropolitan Records and A+ Records. After the merger, it means that Warner Records has formally intervened in the distribution affairs of the two banknote printing press labels under Songya, which represents itself. The probability of leaving is greater, and Disney will naturally have to bear more pressure.
"I see."
Don't talk nonsense, Doug Morris knows it well, "I will do it."
"Can you turn losses next year?" Song Ya asked.
"Not too possible."
Doug Morris shook his head, "Give me a little more time, the environment also needs a turnaround..."
"Okay. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"
There is a reason why AOL Time Warner Group sells Warner Records so cheaply. The longer the history, the heavier the burden. The layoffs are not a panacea that will work in a second, and to rush the executives away, many of them have to pay varying amounts. Sexual resignation compensation.
The two had an in-depth communication on the company’s future development. After the talk, Song Ya had already started to play with the mobile phone quietly. It was all coming. The trauma was a little flat, and the color complexion reappeared. He needed more comfort, such as contact. Scarlett Johansson or Kate Dalins have another friendly match or something...
Perhaps it is a coincidence that there are so many new Hollywood actresses who are born in 1986, which can make people picky.
The age of the forest is gradually getting up, but he is a flower of thirty men.
Of course, Song Ya usually flirts when she meets the opposite eye by chance, and will not deliberately chase the target, let alone use coercion and other dirty methods like Harvey's fat man.
For example, a few days later, when he went to the Disney studio to visit Amy, he met another heroine in the Apocalypse movie, and another starring football stunner in the world line: Amanda Benis...
Chicago 1990 Chapter 1507: Mean girls and weak connection theory
Unexpectedly, things would be bad for this Amanda Benis...
‘Boom! ’
The ball hit the wall hard and bounced back, Song Ya stretched his arms and swung smoothly, ‘Boom! ’
"Keep it away! APLUS, I..."
Years of golfer O'Grady took this note with a heavy footstep. Before the words fell, he mixed garlic under his feet. The president of the Northern Trust staggered a few steps awkwardly and hit the side wall, "No, I can't do it anymore. ." Then simply sat down and panted like a bellows, "rest for fifteen minutes."
"Hey! You have only been here for fifteen minutes!"
Song Ya was unhappy, pulling at the shirt collar and shaking at him while complaining, "No sweat..."
"I can't do it anymore, I need to rest."
O'Grady remained unmoved, "I am fifty years old, not more than ten years ago."
"Seriously, when we met for the first time more than ten years ago, you were more skilled than you are now." Song Ya made a move to pull him.
The two got acquainted at a Windy City Open more than a decade ago.
"No, there's no need to spend your life playing with billionaires."
O'Grady shook his head and waved his hands, but refused to get up and fight again.
"Come on, it's a big deal, I'll play the ball lightly."
"No, I really don't fight anymore..."
O'Grady was determined, "Let's go golfing back. Your golf skills have improved a lot over the years."
"Practice makes perfect."
The level of social entertainment will naturally go up, but Song Yachu doesn't change his mind and still prefers squash, although he plays less.
The phone in his bag was shaking, so he sat down next to O'Grady and took out the phone to check.
There were a lot of missed calls and text messages, and I clicked on the latest one, which turned out to be sent by the artillery friend Scarlett. There was no content, just a smiley face.
Hint about? Song Ya returned a question mark.
"I feel you are in a bad mood today because of Palm's semi-annual report and a big drop?" O'Grady asked.
The time has come to August 2005. Palm fell into a loss again after acquiring IBM’s personal computer division. Its performance was not as expected. In addition, Apple’s new MP3 player will be released at the beginning of next month, which is also a bad news for Beats.
