Chapter 1130: Lunch

Amy......

There wasn't much left of the forest, and it was still ......

Forget it, let it be, Song Ya yawned, reached out and touched Shakira's waist, "Your horsepower is not as strong as before, it seems that you will also exercise with me today, look at this little fat." ”

"Die! Lame person! She threw the pillow over.

Song Ya smiled and played with her and got up.

"What is this?"

Shakira went to feed little Arlene, and when she arrived at the rehab room a little later, Song Ya was already exercising, she picked up a document on the small table and asked.

"Oh, it's our secret documents during the World Cup theme song and the announcement of each other's new albums, let your agent Estéphine review it, and then you can sign it." Song Ya replied.

"Oh."

Shakira saw that the above stipulates that the two will recognize each other's boyfriend and girlfriend during the publicity period, and will not pass on other scandals to each other, as well as all kinds of detailed rights and obligations and confidentiality regulations, and agreed with a complicated expression.

"Starting next year, I'll go to New York today, don't worry, you take your time."

Song Ya added.

"Today? What are you doing in New York? She asked.

"Meet a few people and talk about business......"

"Oh."

"Don't be upset, just socialize." Song Ya comforted, but the itinerary was very rushed, he didn't care too much, and after finishing the rehabilitation, he ate something and went to catch the plane again.

Tomorrow Sloan made an appointment to meet with Ovitz, and after returning to Chicago, he learned that Ovitz called Buffett again, which is a big deal, how Buffett is also the fourth richest person in the world selected by Fujiby in 97, although the ranking has dropped two places from last year, but that is just because Fujibi changed the calculation method to include the Sultan of Brunei and the Walton family who control Wal-Mart.

Buffett's net worth has skyrocketed from 15 billion to 23 billion in one year, and Bill Gates in front of him is even more ruthless, jumping directly from 185 to 36.4 billion, and his net worth has nearly doubled with Microsoft's stock price.

Ovitz has long boasted that he and Buffett have a very good relationship, and at that auction held by Mrs. Astor, he said that he would take him to see Buffett, and now he has the opportunity.

After Song Ya arrived in New York, he first went to Bedford Hills to see Little Rega, and by the way, he stayed for one night, Buffett liked a steakhouse in New York called Smith and Warynsky, which was not a top restaurant, but when Sloan came to pick it up, Song Ya still cleaned himself up and combed his hair into an adult.

"Steak with a bunch of old men? It's going to be boring. ”

Mariah Carey grumbled but dressed up early, pulling on her favorite Hermès signature Kelly bag.

"Do you want to go together?" Song Ya had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.

"Forget it, just pass the time."

"By the way, did you know that Donnie Bladstone just declared bankruptcy a few days ago?" After the lengthening Lincoln started, she asked excitedly.

"You know, Halle Berry mentioned this to me a long time ago, before she went bankrupt."

Harley probed herself and asked if she could help save Donnie's financial crisis, but Song Ah didn't want to help for no reason, even if it was just a gesture for herself.

Donnie Breston went bankrupt or Babyface made her popular, and the relationship between the two was unclear, and just when she relied on the Un-Break My Heart wings to renegotiate a contract with LAFACE Records or switch to another company to earn a sky-high signing fee, the timing of bankruptcy was just right.

After experiencing personal bankruptcy, Donnie had to bow her head to Babyface and obediently renew her contract, the trend of quasi-DIVA is a major event in the industry, and this thing is not necessarily just simple Donnie is not good at financial management, anyway, Song Ya thinks very complicated, so naturally she will not rashly reach out to offend Babyface.

I have always had a good relationship with Babyface, although the other party behaved 'calm' after I was shot, but it was far from the level of being recorded in a small book.

"Oh, poor Donnie......" Mary Carey hypocritically pressed her fingers to her mouth, but immediately burst into amusement.

"Uh...... Mimi, I'm going to officially announce my relationship with Shakira next year, mainly for the new album and the hype around the World Cup. ”

Song Ya saw that she was in a good mood and took the opportunity to explain, "She gave birth to a child for me last month, daughter." ”

The smile on his ex-wife's face disappeared instantly, "Then you didn't say it last night!?" I knew I was going to put you to sleep on the street! Scum! She scolded.

"It's just a propaganda strategy, you should understand." Song Ya said.

"I know a!" The signed Kelly bag then exhaled, hitting Song Ya's forehead.

Then she looked out the window of the car angrily and stopped talking, Song Ya touched her forehead and glanced at Sloan, who was sitting opposite, Sloane's face was as usual, and he was writing and scratching on the file on the small table that stretched Lincoln.

"Hello, Mr. Buffett, Mr. Ovitz."

The three of them arrived at the steakhouse a long time in advance, but they didn't expect Buffett and Ovitz to be there, and they seemed to have been chatting for a long time.

"Haha." Buffett was happy when he saw Song Ya's crutches, and after shaking hands, he pointed to the crutches and laughed at himself: "Is it easy to use?" Maybe I'll be using this soon. ”

"Why, you look great, at least better than me." Song Ya smiled bitterly.

"What's wrong with your forehead?"

"Oh, I just accidentally hit the car door."

"Haha, let's all sit down." Warren Buffett is probably the most gracious of the richest people, like a happy old white man next door, and an old-fashioned kiss with Mariah Carey and Sloane.

Ovitz personally helped the two ladies pull out the chairs, and Song Ya couldn't do this on crutches.

"I'll sit here." Mariah Carey ran to sit next to Buffett, "I adore you." She grabbed the old man's arm and said in her voice.

The dining table is secluded, against the wall, but the other guests can see this side, and probably most of the diners are the elite of Manhattan, just take a few more glances and won't come to disturb.

"Haha......" Buffett had no choice but to continue to be silly.

Song Ya gave his ex-wife a look, but she ignored it, and instead moved the chair closer to Buffett.

At this time, the waiter came over with a small cake with a candle on it, "We have this for you, APLUS." Ovitz laughed, "It's your twenty-third birthday, right?" ”

"Wow, thank you, I'm impressed."

Ovitz is really careful, Song Ya himself forgot about it, a person who didn't know whether it was the restaurant manager or the two old man attachés came to take pictures, and several people had a pretty good atmosphere and coaxed him to make a wish to blow out the candles, which is a good thing, Sloaneng, who was in charge of the IPO of Litman Media, ate at the same table with the stock god, and it was definitely very good news for the photos to circulate.

"Don't you sing a birthday song or something?" Song Ya complained to his ex-wife.

As soon as I looked up, I saw that my ex-wife was pouting and kissing Buffett's cheek, comparing scissor hands to the camera lens, posing, trying to fall in love with the rich old man and becoming the second posture of the recently hot Anna Nicole, Buffett was a little embarrassed by her.

But this Buffett's love history is also very strong, he lived with his ex-boyfriend in 71 years, and he himself has a fixed lover, and that lover heard that his wife sent him to take care of him, and the three of them often have superstar banquets together, until now, he and his wife are still not divorced.

"Humph!"

Ending this little episode, Mariah Carey threw a demonstrative look, probably not in front of her in the future, she will not talk about anything in front of her New York real estate tycoon, Buffett is much richer.

Song Ya also glared at her.

After all applauding the steak, we can finally get down to business, "APLUS, what's the current state of Met Records?" Ovitz asked.

"It's not good, the singers are all complaining that Disney's record promotion and distribution ability is not as good as the previous Sony Columbia."

Song Ya replied that it was true, Foxy Brown and Jazzy had collaborated on a song Ill Be before, and they were also on the charts recently, while Disney's ability to hit the charts was one way worse than that of Sony Columbia, and the voices of the two were a little dissatisfied through Linda.

"Ha, you'll have to ask Disney for more resources."

Metropolitan Records was led by Ovitz when he was at Disney, but now that he has swept away, he has a lot of resentment towards Disney Emperor Eisner, "His family's stock price is not high now, maybe you can absorb some, and you can do Mr. Roy Disney a little favor, you know?" At the rate at which Eisner is making money in his pocket, his personal holdings must surpass Roy's, and the Disney family will not be the largest individual shareholder in a few years. ”

"I don't want to offend the emperor."

Song Yacai doesn't make the disgusting knife in his hand.

At present, Eisner is almost invincible at Disney, and he has a close relationship with him so that he can not be hit, mainly because of Roy Disney and Linton's care, and maybe even Linton, who is 'in the middle of the Holy Family', plays a bigger role, even if the huge loss of Hollywood Pictures this year is a foregone conclusion.

Yes, Linton pounced on two more films, directed by Ridley Scott and starring A-line actress Demi Moore, the big heroine Devil Woman Soldier cost 50 million, and the box office in North America was 48 million.

Washington Square, which cost fifteen million to produce, will not exceed two million at the box office.

In other words, Linton's guy didn't make a movie that could pay back in the whole ninety-seven years.

"You don't have to be afraid of Eisner, APLUS, our power at Disney is still strong, even if I'm gone." Ovitz continued to arch the fire.

"Oh! I remember that Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway also owns a lot of Disney stock? ”

Song Ya really didn't want to talk to this guy about the rebellion, so he asked Warren Buffett, who was being asked by Sloan.

At least I know, Ovitz, Buffett, Jobs, former ABC President Geraldine Leburne, Oprah and these people should have belonged to the original anti-Eisner coalition, but they were resolved by Eisner.

There is no way, Disney's equity is too dispersed, and the power of senior managers and the board of directors is too great.

Buffett also shook his hand to indicate that he didn't want to talk about this topic, "APLUS, Jim Clark has been scolding you recently, don't you want to fight back?" He asked rhetorically.

Jim Clark was furious when he learned that he had made 3DFX completely defect to Microsoft, and finally began to attack himself in the media, saying that he was a traitor, and that he had made a fortune with Netscape and now licked the soles of his enemies' feet, and that he would definitely regret it in the future.

"Whatever he says, he's really helped me a lot."

Song Ya shrugged his shoulders and used a knife and fork to dissolve the steak, "But I am also worthy of him, I have been with him for so long, and I only sold the stock to institutions, but it did not cause the stock price to fall, and it often rises after the sale......"

In the Microsoft Netscape controversy, Buffett must be on Microsoft's side, and several people chatted casually while eating.

Mariah Carey was a little overwhelmed, so she concentrated on eating.

Song Ya secretly observed that Ovitz was still obsessed with Disney's failure, while Buffett was more concerned about Netscape and Microsoft.

Ovitz is the kind of person who will not be as stupid as he was at the beginning to invest almost wholly in a newly opened news station, after he brought out a strong media team from ABC, he attracted a lot of investors, Buffett also invested a small amount, and many other Hollywood connections of Ovitz, even including the family fringe of the European luxury industry, the new TV station continues to use the ACN abbreviation abandoned by ABC, but the full name is Atlantis Cable News, Atlantis Cable News.

At the beginning of the first half of the year, the white evening news anchor Will McAvoy was a traditional media person who was more idealistic than Gordon, insisting on news justice, the responsibility of the media elite to bring the truth to the audience, the responsibility of education, and not blindly chasing social hot spots.

His words were too sharp and mean, and all kinds of insistence led to unsatisfactory ratings...... Of course, it is still much higher than A+CN.

Some time ago, when the news of the death of the former British princess was hot, he didn't give too much space, and still insisted on reporting boring international and domestic political and economic news.

The boss, Ovitz, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and heard that he had a big quarrel with him and threatened to fire the entire evening newsroom, and finally he was reluctant to fire because the annual salary and other contracts he had given him were too high to be fired.

In short, now Litman Media needs to expand its media territory, there is no suitable target on the market, only ACN, it just so happens that I like this station logo very much, if it weren't for ABC to take the lead, there would be no A+CN, and it doesn't matter if Will McAvoy can't control it, just arrange Gordon, who is also the head iron, to raise a maverick news station.

"Mr. Buffett, what do you think about the recent Asian financial crisis?"

He also has his own plans, at present, the Asian financial crisis is intensifying, Southeast Asia has fallen, and Hunt Rose is already hunting Xiangjiang, Wanwan, Singapore and other Chinese areas, and he has frequently succeeded, and he can't help but feel a little anxious.

"There is a problem with their linked exchange rate system, the yen is depreciating, the book is withdrawn, and the external debt, especially the short-term external debt, is too high." Warren Buffett replied in a nutshell: "Currencies are overvalued." ”

"They...... For example, Thailand should not have deregulated its financial markets in the early 90s, right? Song Ya asked.

"Huh." Buffett laughed but didn't answer.

"We're plundering them, and the media and the IMF are asking their governments not to intervene in the market and to save their banking sector, but that's not what we did in the '80s." Song Ya said.

In the '80s, Perelman savagely expanded into a financial tycoon because he received billions of special bailout guarantees from the Elephant Party for the Texas banking industry.

"This involves economic theory, which is too complicated, and there is no perfect solution right now."

The old man snorted, making it clear that he didn't want to solve his doubts, "APLUS, what do you think about Microsoft's purchase of Apple's non-voting shares for 150 million?" "Ovitz was very helpful in helping out.

Song Ya didn't want to be too eager, and he didn't have the strength to mix in the hunt for a huge amount of hedging funds, so he had to give up, "I haven't paid attention to this matter, I have a little Apple stock in my hand, but after taking Microsoft's money, the stock price is still dead, about five cents?" I bought it for eight yuan, and now the cost is three cents a piece! ”

Speaking of Apple, there are many future Apple products in the movies and MVs of tomorrow.

"Microsoft probably doesn't want Apple to go bankrupt, right? If the MAC OS operating system on the market dies, it will be even more difficult to fight an antitrust lawsuit. Sloan said.

"What do you think? APLUS。 Warren Buffett looked at himself with a conquiring eye.

"Paradoxically, if Microsoft came to the rescue of Jobs, who had been his former enemy and ridiculed them many times, was out of fear that the monopoly lawsuit would face greater pressure, so the new MAC OS, which did not have a high market share, had a way out. But at the same time, they also encouraged Apple to switch to Internet Explorer, and it was also bundled with the operating system for free, isn't it equivalent to handing more knives to the enemy Netscape? ”

Song Ya thought for a long time and replied: "Then there is only one explanation, there is a consensus within Microsoft, they will not allow themselves to lose the anti-monopoly lawsuit and be spun up, but it should be acceptable to be judged for unfair competition and pay a huge fine after squeezing Netscape to death?" ”

"Hahaha!" Buffett looked appreciative, "That sounds like a reasonable explanation. ”
