Chapter 1144: I Can
Shakira was satisfied, and after walking this 'official announcement road', she followed Song Ya into the car, holding each other's arms with both hands and never putting it down again.
"Tired?" Song Ya asked her who rested her head on her shoulder.
"Not tired." She replied sweetly.
I'm definitely tired, "Mike, go straight back to Tribeca, I'm not going to Met Records today." Song Ya instructed Old Mike.
"Don't you go? Someone is still waiting for you to go for an interview. Linda in the passenger seat looked back and reminded.
After many selections, Linda introduced a black mid-level producer of the former Atlantic Records to be the executive vice president and music director of Metropolitan Records, and in the process of the rise of the En Vogue girl group, he followed the legendary producers, the pioneers of the new Jack swing style, Denzel Foster and Thomas McIlroy, but in the career climbing stage, Dre poached the main singer of En Vogue, and the remaining trio was greatly damaged.
As the president, he doesn't have the energy to really manage the Met, and he must have a young and strong local African-American musician in New York, and the qualifications can slightly suppress the two label owners of Jazzy and Matthew Norris, and take on the day-to-day affairs.
Song Ya glanced at his watch and replied: "Anyway, he is the only candidate, don't worry, goodbye on the fourth." β
"Maybe they've got a party for you there." Linda said.
"Maybe?" Song Ya asked.
Linda replied, "I want to surprise you or something." Jazzy is a good hand at designing these events, he likes to take the initiative and is willing to spend his own money. He took good care of his colleagues at Metropolitan Records, and he did it when the former president harassed BeyoncΓ© and other girls, and whenever William Adams or Stupid Punk came to New York to record or run publicity, he would hold a party to entertain and do the landlord's friendship. β
"King of New York?"
Song Ya thought of the Apocalypse song Empire Heart and Jazzy, who claimed to be the king of New York in APESHIT, and smiled, and she didn't know how much the world line her butterfly wings had changed, and now Jazzy was far from the status of the boss of the New York rap industry with her braggart daddy.
"He's working on it."
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and of course Linda can see through Jazzy's mind, and it's not surprising that everyone always has a look on their faces, as if they don't sell anyone's accounts, and they probably have dreams of dominating the local area.
"When I don't know what's going on with a welcome party." Song Ya thought about it and was still too lazy to go, "Anyway, I will still go the day after tomorrow." β
The motorcade drove into the underground garage of Tribeca's residence, and Shakira was content to turn the car outside the entrance after seeing the motorcycle paparazzi take photos of the two returning to their accommodation in the same car.
"You take care of it, don't let the media publish ugly photos that I don't like."
Song Ya also noticed it, and told Linda to push the door and get out of the car.
Shakira grabbed his hand like a little couple and took the elevator together.
"Mike, update the fitness equipment here tomorrow, the coach left me a task. I'm going to stay here for a while......"
The boyfriend, now a real boyfriend, is very busy most of the time, except for the rest time, he is always giving orders to various people, or giving feedback to the outside world, making phone calls, holding meetings, and managing his business empire, even when he is running and rehabilitating.
"The day after tomorrow, let's go to Metropolitan Records together?" She asked.
"Of course."
Song Ya's affirmative answer without hesitation made her heart happy, and when the elevator reached the top floor, Old Mike opened the door of Tribeca's penthouse.
"Looks like this place needs to be cleaned up."
The lights in the house were turned on, the furnishings couldn't compare to Highland Park, it didn't look like the home of a big star, Shakira began to sprout the hostess's self-consciousness, "Maybe tomorrow we can go buy some decorations." β
"You're responsible."
Song Ya shook her head, "I'm afraid I don't have time." β
"Isn't it the day after tomorrow? My dear. Shakira asked.
"I have something to do every day and this year will be very busy."
Shooting, coma, recuperation, betrayal, counterattack, for me the broad ninety-seven years have suddenly passed, looking forward to the new year, law school, global tours, new majors, the competition for the World Cup theme song, more difficult, work intensity will be greater. Song Ya smiled, "You rest first, I'll go downstairs." β
"Together." Shakira continued to hold his arm.
"Okay."
The two walked to the top of the stairs, and Shakira faintly heard a conversation downstairs, and it turned out that there were already guests waiting here.
"Sloane, Pierre......"
There were still a lot of people, dressed in exquisite professional women's attire, who seemed to be always at work, standing in the middle of the living room downstairs, arguing with Pierre Sutton, president and chairman of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, and there were many people standing or sitting next to him, all of them were media or Wall Street elites in suits and leather shoes, and when they heard Song Ya say hello, they all got up and gathered around.
"Don't need crutches? APLUSγ β
"Happy New Year, APLUS."
The crowd was full of compliments.
"There's a better one to use." Song Ya pinched Shakira's shoulder and replied with a smile, then hugged Sloan, "I'm sorry, are you still working?" β
"We are waiting for you, this is the ...... of Clear Media Morgan Stanley's ......"
Sloan introduced the guests to him one by one, "Let's talk individually." β
"Okay."
Song Ya smiled apologetically at the people, "You can help me entertain me." "He left Shakira alone.
"Where is the IPO going on?"
Song Ya and Sloan walked into the study, closed the door and asked.
"In communication about the disposal of the shares of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, according to your plan, the new Littleman Media will manage your equity in the Inner City Broadcasting Company, but Pierre Sutton has a new idea, he wants us to have the Inner City Broadcasting Company exist as a subsidiary of Littleman Media, we can buy back more shares, or simply have the Inner City and the future parent company Littleman Media exchange shares......"
Sloan showed him some of the papers.
"He dreams."
Song Ya sat down and complained: "These Nger always think about good things. β
Among the protests in various places after his shooting, New York was the least active, and the information Song Ya had was that Jazzy and Damon Dash were arrested by the New York police for nearly 24 hours that day, so it was understandable that they would not continue to do things, and the gang in the inner city must have been greeted by the Donkey Party, and their 'calm handling' at that time was half a betrayal in the eyes of their own eyes after waking up.
I'm not used to expanding in the media industry, "The Inner City Broadcasting Company and the Manhattan Gang are becoming less and less important to me now, and I can't count on them when it matters most. Pierre will transfer the shares if he is not interested, and he will not help them fight against the New York City government and keep the Apollo Theater in the future. β
He said, flipping through the papers.
"Then you talk to Pierre and them yourself?" Sloan reminds you, "The inner city has a significant stake in XXL, a hip-hop music magazine that will help you in your music career. β
"I see."
The two continued to talk about other details, in general, after the extremely complex equity adjustment designed by Sloan, in addition to owning the management rights and part of the shares of the American music website, ACN, A+CN, and will also use the last round of media shares in the hands of some institutions before the IPO to replace part of the financing, as well as the shares of modern photography, stereo review, American music magazine and other print media, in addition to XXL, the inner city broadcaster is dispensable.
After opening up the educational film market and owning the publishing rights to the autobiographies of Johnny Carson and Jordan Belfort, the valuation of Littleman Press has greatly increased, and the American music website has benefited from the fact that the rival all-music website has not made much expansion during the crisis and has retained the title of the largest music community, and the valuation given by the institution has rebounded from 180 million to 300 million, and Song Ya has 49% of A+CN after the valuation has dropped, as well as some ACN shares bought from Ovitzna.
"The land and headquarters building in the hands of A+ Audio were merged into the Amerika Music website, and the headquarters of Littleman Media was located in Chicago, temporarily sharing the new building with A+CN......"
"You generally gave up 25 percent of Litman Media's shares in the last round of funding to various institutions, and they would pay 100 million in cash for it."
"The remaining 60 percent is cross-owned by you, the A+ copyright and asset management company, the A+ audio that has become an empty shell, and the deep-sea company you registered overseas, so that the target is small."
"After the IPO, you will still own 42% of Liteman Media, and the expected market value will reach more than 500 million, and the issue price is ......"
"In addition to the acquisition of ACN and follow-up working capital, the money raised from the IPO will also make some expansionary acquisitions in the media industry."
The two of them quickly went through the various messages, "It's perfect, I can't do this without you, Sloane." Song Ya was in a relaxed and beautiful mood, "Another 100 million?" It's annoying, last year's money hasn't been spent yet...... "hand touched."
'Bang bang bang! β
βAPLUSοΌ Can you talk about it? β
Unfortunately, Pierre Sutton suddenly knocked on the study door, "Come in." β
"APLUS, my father and I don't agree with Ms. Sloane's plan, as well as Mr. Dinkins and Congressman Wrangel, because the Inner City Broadcasting Company is too marginalized in your Mediacorp group."
Pierre Sutton said eagerly.
"How so? I only have you in the broadcasting industry. β
Song Ya perfunctory him.
"Johnson is going to sell his BET to the White Media Group, and we'll only have you Litman in the future." Pierre Sutton persuaded.
"My Littleman, not yours."
Hearing this, he was not happy, he was still the same old-fashioned, pointing to the media that he was supporting the black people to lose money, A+CN is losing, the inner city is losing, and at the critical moment, Song Ya looked at him coldly, and said word by word: "Although I am still the chairman of the board of directors after the listing, the whole company is responsible for the shareholders, and I can't do too much." β
"You can increase our position in Litman Media by swapping shares, such as the board of directors...... There are other influences, and it's okay for Clear Media and the other shareholders in the inner city, I'll take care of it. Pierre Sutton continued.
Whimsical, Song Ya didn't even bother to be perfunctory, "I'm planning to sell half of the shares in the inner city and the corresponding board seats, you can also find a way to help me find the next home to take over, and complete it before the final round of financing that is about to begin." β
βAPLUSβ¦β¦ You can't do this. β
Pierre Sutton's face instantly turned to ashes, and he pleaded, "We've been working together for so many years......"
"Painful partnerships, not getting the expected returns, don't think I don't know what happened in the middle of the coma, let alone say I can't be like this, I can't be like that...... Look at me Pierre. β
Song Ya leaned in and looked him in the eyes, "On the contrary, I can." β
Defeated by his calm and indifferent gaze, Pierre lowered his head, wanted to say anything more but didn't say a word, he knew the current strength of the man in front of him, he really could.
