"So, Quincy Jones still doesn't want to play with me, right?" Song Ya turned off the TV, her face a little gloomy.
"In etiquette, you should call Quincy Jones."
Hayden said: "Since the other party has accepted the move, you can no longer pretend to be stupid. You must say something clearly."
"Well, Taraji."
Song Ya asked Taraji to call Quincy Jones, "Hey, Mr. Jones, what's going on? Regarding Amerika Music, you and Russell Simmons..."
"Damn it, did he say something to the media?"
Quincy Jones put himself aside, "This is the APLUS, Russell Simmons has long been eyeing that magazine. I really like his idea of incorporating hip-hop music into this magazine, a white music magazine with a century of history. Falling into the hands of black people, this news alone will be cool, isn't it?"
Song Ya took a sip in his heart, and had been eyeing it earlier. Why didn't you see you when ABC sold? "So, what should I do, Mr. Jones, I don't want the white tycoon Henry Literman to take advantage of the bidding between us. Maybe you can bring me? I have Shirley Fleming's support."
"Ms. Fleming? We have a good relationship with her."
Quincy Jones said: "Let's do it, Russell Simmons is in charge, you need his consent, I will help you speak APLUS."
"Well, I will contact Mr. Simmons."
Song Ya asked him to come to Russell Simmons' private phone~www.mtlnovel.com~ and called.
"No problem with APLUS, you can wait until the second round to participate, and we will give you some shares, a friendly price." Russell Simmons's statement is very direct, you first withdraw from the bid, and wait until we buy the magazine first.
"WTF! What the **** is the second round!?" Song Ya couldn't accept this condition at all, and directly exploded, "I first read Mr. Simmons from this magazine, so I don't want to wait for the second round, and it's not. Venture capital..."
"Hey, keep your mouth clean, young man, relying on Motula's negligence, fortunately earned more than he deserved from Sony Columbia's fingers, so he thinks he can do everything, right? APLUS?"
Russell Simmons also turned his face immediately, "We have a big plan for this magazine. It will become an iconic book of black music in the future, and it will not fall into your hands and become a nondescript mixed garbage. You want to be with Shirley Fry Is Ming teaming right? Guess, how did I know your naive plans for gossip news and classical music?"
"You don't think I'll just hold back, do you? Mr. Simmons?"
Song Yacai is not afraid of him. DefJam Records and Russell Simmons have a high status in the history of hip-hop music, but the business situation is not very good now, and half of the company’s shares were bought as early as the Columbia Records era and now belong to Sony Columbia Records. , The distribution right is also. At this point, they have no comparison with the autonomy of A+ records, which only sold the distribution rights for five years.
"Whatever you want." Simmons hung up.
"Damn Nger!" Song Ya cursed into the microphone.
"War is declared?" Taraji whispered to himself.

"If you enter the auction, you'd better set a maximum investment amount, so as not to put yourself in a dangerous situation because of the urge to win."
Song Ya immediately called Samuel, and the other party suggested: "5.5 million is a suitable number. No matter how high it is, it is unnecessary. Apart from the low-profit classical music annual chart, the American Music Magazine has nothing. Once you get it, you will have to spend a start-up fee. Advertisers will not favor such magazines that stop publishing at will, so they must be prepared to pay about two million dollars every year."
"In fact, with this money, you can buy a tabloid newspaper, and maybe you can make a little profit every year." Samuel said: "People often have an illusion that life is bound to get better and better, but the reality is not. Support this illusion, especially entertainment stars. You made 30 million last year. It’s good to say that there are albums on sale this year. Whether you can get this number in the next few years is not certain. You must not make a long-term plan based on earning 30 million a year. ."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Samuel."
Since the negotiation with Shirley Fleming will only take place once, Song Ya re-negotiated an offer with Goodman and Hayden. Song Ya invested 5.5 million dollars, accounting for 65 percent of the shares. , Shirley Fleming and her friends can account for 35% with only two million dollars. The advantage is not for nothing. They must use certain social resources to pressure Litman and let the other The list column is spit out, otherwise it is meaningless to buy an empty shell with glorious history.
The rest is about Shirley Fleming's power in the magazine. Song Ya made more concessions than in the previous meeting and gave up some propositions to develop in the direction of gossip.
"Don't give the other side any illusion, this is my bottom line."
Song Ya said to Goodman: "After the negotiation, Shirley Fleming will definitely go to Quincy Jones and the others with our offer, depending on whether they can provide her with better terms."
Halle Berry has just sent Goodman and Wing Dao Accountant away.
"Hey, honey."
The black beauty is still dressed in a leather jacket and a short skirt. The female assistant behind her drags a trolley case. "How is the box office of the ultimate pioneer? I haven't cared lately." Song Ya put her arms around her waist and led her into the living room.
During the Christmas week, the crew of the ultimate pioneer did a lot of things. The enthusiasm rose a little, but the box office only increased by less than 10%. In the third week, it suddenly rose strangely by 20%. The rumor is that Bruce Willie In order to keep the theater lineup in the fourth week, he paid two to three million pockets for the box office. I heard that this kind of operation is quite common among Hollywood superstars who can carry the box office alone. It is almost a partial return of the high salary. One is to show that one is responsible, and the other is to avoid a major career crisis caused by a rapid box office loss. Three, of course, to maintain the face and reputation of the superstar. Sometimes they will buy a little when the box office sells, especially when they find that they are not far from some records or film history rankings before they are down.
"In the fourth week, the lineup did not drop, but there are only five thousand dollars left in the single library. It is hopeless."
Halle Berry put her hands around Song Ya's neck, "Stop talking about the unhappy things, is there a party tonight?"
"Yeah, some friends from New York hip-hop circles..."
The two kissed naturally, "Why didn't you see Fergie?" She blinked her lips and asked.
"Uh, I seem to be picking clothes to wear at night. I'll take you there." Song Ya led her to Fergie. A Prada employee was holding this evening wear catalog for Fergie to look through, and patiently offered advice from time to time.
"You go pick it too. His house has a store in the Soho area not far away. It will be delivered quickly and will never delay the evening party."
Song Ya said that this qualification for on-site service from top brands was only obtained a few days ago, and it is now just used to pretend to be in front of Halle.
In the evening, before the party started, luxury cars drove into the parking lot downstairs. Hip-hop stars would never save money on the car. Even the NAS drove a good car early.
"Hey, Dad Kane." Song Ya proficiently started **** one by one, "Hey NAS, professor..."
Hip-hop singers come in one line at a time. A singer plus the girls and attendants brought in is at least five or six. Rakim, who hasn't seen him for a long time, also appeared.
