"What's wrong with you?"

Alicia noticed that Songya was staring up at Sony's Columbia Records headquarters building in a daze again.

"The Black Dragon that guards the treasure."

Song Ya muttered to herself, quickly cleaned up her mood and smiled: "It's nothing, let's drive Mike." ”

Estéphine guessed something from his words, "Don't be discouraged APLUS, there's always a chance." ”

"Hmm."

Wait patiently, only be patient, even if Rick Rubin helps himself, it is useless, he is a weak manager, not to mention that the relationship between the two parties cannot go back, "Then we will put you down at the hotel or ......" he asked Estéphine.

Estéphine was stunned, "Uh, aren't you going back to Tribeca?" ”

"Mrs. Flock and I have to go to the headquarters of Littleman Press."

"It's far away......"

"Yes."

"Then send me to the hotel."

Ditching Estéphine, Mike Sr. drove straight to her destination, where Littleman Press's headquarters in a small town in New York state was one of Sloan's two official office spaces, and if she was busy with IPOs, she would host Wall Street's financial elite at the publisher's New York branch, and spend most of her time at the headquarters managing the company.

"Mr. Geffing, I heard that Mr. Bronfman Jr. is preparing to bid for Polygram?"

As the car drove out of the city, Song Ya remembered Rick Rubin's last reminder, so he took out his mobile phone and called David Geffen, "Even in the lead?" ”

"It's hard to say, but it looks like he's made up his mind, and Philips, the majority shareholder of PolyGram, has lost interest in the record industry."

David Geffen smiled: "I was just watching your David Lightman show, what's wrong APLUS, acting a bit like a jerky kid who just got out of school." ”

"Jerky?"

Song Ya stroked the governor's wife's long chestnut hair and replied, "Maybe, I was going back to campus soon." ”

"Haha, Chiba University Law School is a bastion of conservative thinking, don't be brainwashed by those uncivilized old guys."

Indeed, under the influence of the Austrian school that fled from Europe in the forties, such as Hayek and Mises, as well as Coase, Milton Friedman, Leo Strauss, von Quner Tretting, Karl Popper, Pozner Sr. and other political and economic academic giants, the University of Chicago became a center of conservative thought in the United States.

The children and grandchildren ranged from the Chicago boys who championed the neoliberal economy in the '80s to the limelight in Eastern Europe and Latin America.

There were also neoconservative bureaucrats that pervaded the administrations of Reagan and King George, and Leosstrauss's political philosophy, which was the most radical critique of Western modernity and liberal traditions, became the party's current official program.

Law and economics, which was born there, is the mainstream legal research methodology of modern China.

Neoconservatism and neoliberalism seem to have opposite names, but in fact the concepts are not contradictory, and the new economic liberalism in the United States can barely be counted into the economic proposition of the neoconservative government, emphasizing liberalization, privatization and marketization, rejecting state intervention, and advocating the political, cultural, economic and other capitalist globalization that serves the United States.

In short, it's very good, otherwise it can't afford the conservative fortress that David Geffen said.

"I like Professor Martha Nussbaum more, you can listen to her lectures more, it's blonde." David Geffen said.

"Got it, haha."

The two of them laughed at the same time, huh? What was I just going to ask? "So what do you think is the odds of little Mr. Bronfman succeeding?" Song Ya pulled the divergent topic back, "Universal can't take Polygram, right?" ”

"Uh...... It depends on the situation, Universal can't do it alone, but with the parent company Seagram Wines, I feel that Bronfman Jr. is quite determined, you may not know, he is ready to sell Universal's TV network, and it should be negotiated soon. ”

David Geffen replied.

"What?"

Although the scale of Universal's TV network is not as large as that of several giants, it also has its own global broadcast satellite channel resources that Fox Group President Pete Chernin considers extremely important, and the name of the largest subsidiary below, Song Ya, likes it quite much, it is called USANetwork, the domineering United States TV network.

"How much does it sell? Sell to whom? He asked, licking his lips.

"Twenty-three, twenty-five billion or so? Potential buyers include media tycoons such as Barry Diller and Lei Shidong. ”

David Geffen reported the number to extinguish Song Ya's fire, and the competitors were too strong, and he couldn't afford to play that kind of game.

"What a pity." He said.

"What do you have to regret haha...... Wait until the transaction is completed to see what there is to choose from, and the buyer should split and sell some of the assets after taking over the global television network. ”

David Geffen laughed, "I'm waiting too." ”

"Okay, that's all there is to it, ......"

and Alicia Dalitman's headquarters, a four-story independent office building in a small town in a wealthy neighborhood of New York State, where Sloan directly leads more than a dozen high-level leaders of Littleman Media, and the president of the publishing house works hard to continue selling educational films in various states.

Sloan was presiding over the meeting when he saw the two of them flash by the door, and reached out to go to her office to wait first.

"Have you been here?"

The two of them casually looked around her office.

"Nope."

Sloane's office is her usual neat and minimalist style, but with desks strewn with papers, half a cup of coffee, and a folded blanket on the sofa in the corner, she should often work overtime until midnight.

"She's desperate." Alicia also noticed.

"Just kidding, what about the future CEO of a listed media company."

Song Ya sat down behind the desk, turned on the computer monitor, had the password, and tried his birthday, no.

Alicia also came over to crack it.

"Did you know that Universal is going to sell its TV network?"

The two were laughing and typing numbers like 123456 on their keyboards, and Sloane came back at some point, saying, "It's a great asset." ”

"He knew, he had just talked about it in the car." Alicia replied.

"It's no fun, about 2.5 billion, Barry Diller and Lei Shidong's rivalry is robbing again, and my sources say that the deal is about to be concluded." Song Ya said.

"It's a pity."

Sloane reacted exactly the same way as him, "I was still dreaming about whether I could swallow an elephant...... Why don't you call and ask little Bronfman? One more seeker would do him no harm, wouldn't it? ”

"You're inflated, Sloane."

Song Ya made fun of her, but when she thought about it, she used her landline to dial the phone number of Little Bronfman's office.

"APLUS, congratulations, all Hollywood has lost its eyes on the big ship, and only you are right."

Bronfman Jr. was in a good mood, "I heard that Paramount President Shirley Lansing was scolded by Lei Shidong in front of many people. ”

"Really?"

Song Ya hehe, this news is really comfortable, "Oh yes, there's something little Mr. Bronfman, I don't know if it's too late for me to join the competition for the global television network?" ”

"You? What does it mean for you to join? Bronfman Jr. was surprised.

"Uh......"

Song Ya saw Sloan pointing to the words Littman Media on the document in front of him, "Of course it's not me. You know, Litman Media is going public in April, and I'm one of the shareholders......"

"It's too late in April, sorry APLUS, it will delay my big event if it drags on any longer." Bronfman Jr. said.

"Is it the acquisition of Polygram?"

Song Ya took the opportunity to remind the other party, "As far as I know, a large number of Polygram acquisitions in recent years have high premiums, such as the previous DefJam, and later Motown Records......"

"Yes, I know that too...... UH, LET'S TALK ABOUT APLUS NEXT TIME, I'm in a hurry. ”

"Okay, then I'll ...... back"

'Toot toot ......' Before the words were finished, a busy sound came from the earpiece, and Song Ya shrugged helplessly at Sloane, "I've asked, it's no fun." ”

"Cut!"

Little Bronfman snorted coldly at the telephone, "Sell your records honestly!" Then he smiled contemptuously at his subordinates: "Even this kind of nouveau riche feels qualified to teach me to do business......
