Chapter 1162: Am I a Bad Person?
"No problem, I'll ask later."
Did the offer to buy a TV station offend him? Song Ya thought about himself and Sloan before mentioning that just now, but he didn't forget to shoot a lot of sycophants as a foreshadowing, it seems that the other party's mentality is still not grasped, he rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips, and turned his head to glance at Sloan who came up with an idea while coping.
"Things have to be worked out, and I want to see the results as soon as possible." Bronfman Jr. said.
It's not over? So many people in person! Song Ya is starting to be unhappy, but she is also a billionaire......
βOKοΌOKγβ After managing his emotions, he didn't make a deal if he didn't succeed, no matter what, he wouldn't turn his face, he just joined the global department, and there was no reason not to give face to the big boss directly in front of so many executives of the new owner.
βOK WhatοΌβ Bronfman Jr. rejected his perfunctory rebuke and continued to ask unceremonious questions.
Song Ya was also a little upset, what do you mean? I was chatting well in the office just now, and I was angry that I must come to the public to give me a good face, right? Looking back, I made eye contact with little Bronfman, and I could hear the pins falling in the large conference room.
"UH, MR. APLUS REALLY DOESN'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS, THERE MAY BE SOME SONGS IN DATA FORMAT ON THE AMERIKA MUSIC WEBSITE, BUT THOSE ARE ALL UPLOADED BY THE USER THEMSELVES......"
Sloan saw that his mouth was open, and there was a tendency to ridicule him, and hurriedly interjected: "We don't know for the time being whether there will be legal risks in unilaterally deleting user data without authorization. β
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and poked Song Ya's thigh under the table to stop him from fighting with Bronfman.
"I don't have a lot of patience."
Little Bronfman was satisfied that Song Ya lowered his head and made eye contact, he was still very kind to women, "Please figure it out as soon as possible, Ms. Sloane." β
"I'll call."
Song Ya also knew that it was useless to have a battle of will with a noble son of this level, so he took the mobile phone and lit it up to everyone, and got up and left the table on the spot.
When I opened the handrail of the conference room door, I heard Bronfman Jr. laughing and quipping Sloan, "Littleman Media is going public in April, right?" Is there any pressure to be a female CEO of one of the few listed media companies? β
"It's okay, I don't feel any different." Sloan replied.
"Holy shit, I shouldn't have come."
This bullshit internal meeting of the global department has always been attended by Linda before, if it weren't for finding a more suitable excuse to meet with little Bronfman, Song Ya wouldn't have made a special trip to this trip.
Speaking of this trip, he is also a little selfish, that is, he wants to bypass the usual messenger David Geffen, get closer to Little Bronfman, and even find more excuses to socialize in the future, play golf more, and establish a more friendly relationship with him than David Geffen.
After all, with a shrewd boss like David Geffen in the middle, he definitely has no chance to emulate Barry Diller, who won the United States TV Network for a mere 1.5 billion, and picked up leaks in the fingers of the rich third generation.
I didn't expect it to be self-defeating......
"Mr. Geffen."
The clay man also has three points of fire, since he has made an excuse to come out, he will not go back, it seems that he still has to communicate through David Geffen, he directly turned on the mobile phone, dialed David Geffen's number, and said what happened and doubts just now, "I don't think I offended him...... My record and film company has helped people make a lot of money. β
"Maybe he's not in a good mood right now, you know that some people are laughing at him in the outside world about the Mi TV network's deals, and there are also DuPont shares that Seagram sold in order to buy Universal, and the shares sold at that time were nearly 9 billion are now worth 16 billion, which is almost doubled...... He is now sensitive to these public opinions. β
David Geffen explained: "It's okay, I'll talk to him later, there is no conflict of interest between you, don't make conflicts and make outsiders laugh." β
"Well, to be honest, he treated me badly today."
"There's a secret party at night, you come over too, I'll talk to him and you again, it's okay, you and I both know that he is just a little nobleman's temper, but he is definitely not the kind of gentleman who will cause trouble for no reason."
"Well, the secret party at night is ......"
Song Ya took out the invitation in her pocket and read it into the text: "Is the one that Marina Abramovich is in charge of?" I have an invitation here. β
"Oh?"
"He gave it to me."
"yes, you see, he's okay with you, he used to compliment you in front of us, Marina Abramovich is a master of contemporary performance art, she has great parties, she is the top in Hollywood."
"Well, that'...... See you in the evening? β
"See you in the evening."
Song Ya's anger calmed down a little, and after ending the call with David Geffen, he thought about it and called William Zhang, the president of the Amerika Music website, at least to clarify what Bronfman Jr. mentioned first.
"People don't know, but those visits are important to the site."
William half-concealed and cautiously explained the situation, there are indeed many users who share MP3 format songs in various forums of the site, a tradition that has been formed since the days of Dillay, and there are many people who visit the site for the purpose of looking for free music downloads, and the proportion may not be small......
Cracking down on that kind of behavior will definitely cause a sharp drop in visits, and with only two months to go before the IPO, activities such as prospectuses and roadshows have already begun, which is tantamount to menopause.
"What did the in-house counsel say?" Song Ya asked, "Does Sloane's argument hold up?" Deleting user data is a legal risk. β
"It's all in the gray area." William Chang admitted.
"Okay......"
Does that make sense? Take this excuse to perfunctory little Bronfman first? At least drag it out over the IPO......
But in this case, Bronfman Jr. will certainly not be too satisfied.
"Do you have any specific data?" Song Ya asked carefully.
"Wait until I find out...... Pregnant! β
As they were chatting, Sloan's car window was knocked, "Running to the parking lot to hide from the quiet?" She opened the back door and sat next to Song Ya.
"You have to stay in the conference room on my behalf, I don't want to really anger that boy."
Song Ya said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Brother Gongzi is too lazy to have a boring meeting in the afternoon, he left after presiding over the first stage."
Sloan replied, "How so?" β
"I've talked to David Geffen and William Chang."
The two discussed it seriously.
"If little Bronfman is trying to save your face, it is likely that he is just looking for an excuse to talk at the meeting, and maybe he will forget about it himself. If he continues to bring it up, he will use legal risks to perfunctory him, and he will circulate until after the IPO. β
Sloan also has this opinion, "Littleman Media is yours, and the America Music website is also yours, and Universal can't control it, even though you are a singer under Universal." Do not worry. β
"I'm not worried too much, it's just that the relationship suddenly became like this......"
Song Ya felt a little bit like stealing chickens and rice, "Forget it, I still don't expect to buy what he has in his hands in the future, David Geffen is right, maybe he also realized that the transaction of the rice TV network was at a loss, and now he is very sensitive to all acquisition proposals, thinking that others are looking down on him and trying to pick up leaks from him." It didn't matter how much we flattered, but I guess when we mentioned our intention to buy Latin TV, he secretly decided to teach me a lesson in public at a meeting. β
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have encouraged you to make this trip. Alas! β
Sloan sighed, "But it's a pity that everything is expensive in the year of mergers and acquisitions, and there is a good seller upstairs...... You know it's so hard to come by APLUS, my fault, I did act too hard because I wanted to get that TV station. β
"Is this the attitude you should have when you apologize? Hey hey ......"
It's just a vignette, and if you can't pick it up, it's not a matter at all for the traverser, Song Ya quickly cleaned up her mood and laughed evilly.
"Sloane, where are you?"
In the evening, he came out of a medieval castle-style villa in Beverly Hills alone, with his hands in his pockets, and his mood was low again, not too low, but very complicated.
"Hotel, I'm ready to go to bed, what?" Sloan asked.
"I'm going to go back to Chicago tonight and leave right away, along?" Song Ya invited.
"Didn't you go to a party? It's only been less than half an hour...... Talked to Bronfman Jr.? β
"No, I haven't even seen Mr. David Geffen in person, I'm not used to being there." Song Ya asked rhetorically: "Do you think I'm a bad person?" Sloane. β
"You? Doesn't count, right? β
"I don't think it's a ...... Except for a little bit of a heart, I know. Old Michael drove the car to the door, and he got in.
Hearing this, Old Mike grabbed the steering wheel and rolled his eyes.
"Sort of? Uh, without mentioning this, why are you asking this question all of a sudden? How? Blown away by Marina AbramoviΔ's installations? β
"No...... I don't know what to say, I think those artistic expressions are too cult, too deviant, no, even a little disgusting and uncomfortable, so I didn't stay for a while and ran out, but the only thing I know and see today is that in Hollywood, I'm definitely not a bad guy. β
"Why? What's in the party? β
"I don't want to describe it, and I guess it's not convenient to disclose." Song Ya decided to forget.
"Then don't be emotional, you come to the hotel to pick me up, I'll get up."
βOKγβ
He hung up the phone, "The crew won't fly." Old Mike relayed not surprising news.
"Let's book a commercial flight, I don't want to stay here for a second longer...... Uh, it seems like a bit of a ride here? Go for a walk around the door of Amy and Harry's house. β
Song Ya improvised and asked Mike Sr. to drive the car to the same road as Amy and Hallie's house, which was also in the Beverly Hills area, where the unlucky bodyguard had broken his leg on his behalf.
Amy was supposed to be out of town filming her new art film, the villa was pitch black, and Hallie's was brightly lit, with all kinds of luxury cars and well-dressed men and women coming in and out, and some paparazzi gathering across the sidewalk to stand guard.
"Halle Berry was throwing a party to the Bulworth crew, and I just saw Warren Beatty. Yes, Miss Berry is the heroine......"
Song Ya asked the bodyguard to ask about the situation, and some paparazzi answered truthfully.
Warren Beatty is a well-known actor, director, producer, investor, and famous Hollywood prodigal son. He became famous early in Hollywood, powerful, and legend has it that he has slept with countless women, including many famous women, and he met actress Annette Nening at the age of 91 and 55.
He is also the noble person who dared to give David Geffen a chance to save David Geffen from fire and water after he was banned by Warners, and he is almost David Geffen's most grateful close friend, not one of them.
"Forget it, let's go pick up Sloane, Mike."
I heard that bragging about customers is the brainchild of Warren Beatty, who wrote and directed himself and served as the male lead, so next year's awards season will definitely be rushed, and it seems that Hallie has the ability to become a movie queen without her own help......
"Sherlyn, have you heard? Halle Berry's mansion is located in Beverly Hills! The media estimates it is worth five million! β
At the same time, in the Los Angeles satellite town of San Marino, Quincy Jones's lover and out-of-fashion actress Natasha Kinski visited Shirlinfen's residence, and the two met by chance at a children's store on a nearby boutique street, "I can't stand it, she can be stationed in Beverly Hills for a Blade salary!" APLUS definitely shouldn't have set her that high, she wasn't worth five million at the time. β
Natasha Kinski hugged her daughter Kenya Jones, who was born to Quincy Jones, and kept complaining in the car, and the last time they met, she boasted that she worked with Robin Williams on Fathers Day, also hit the box office.
"She didn't get the Blade when she bought the house."
Xue Linfen replied with resentment.
"What!? Wow......" Natasha Kinsky was stunned, "So that rumor is true......"
"Huh." Xue Linfen sneered.
"She is really the best at investing among actresses, and I heard that she has made a lot of money by trading stocks very early." But Natasha Kinsky and she didn't think the same thing at all.
Xue Linfen didn't answer again, and the car drove into the gate of the manor, and then drove all the way inside.
Natasha Kinski stopped talking, because the size of the manor and the majestic mansion in front of her completely exceeded her expectations......
"Please come in."
It's all box office poison, and the acting skills are also very poor, Xue Linfen observed the envy, jealousy and hatred that the other party tried her best to hide but still had nothing to hide, laughed secretly, and pretended to call her eldest son, "Robb, there is a little guest at home today." β
