"Hey, APLUS, I heard Doug Morris say that your second singles is expected to win the World Cup theme song?"

Bronfman Jr.'s attitude is still so perfect, "Do you need any help from Universal Music?" Just say. ”

"Yes, the cup of life...... President Morris has helped me a lot, and my agent told me that I was 90 percent sure of it, thank you very much, Mr. Bronfman Jr. ”

Song Ya even began to wonder if the other party was the mastermind behind the IPO of Litman Media by using the piracy incident, although judging by common sense through some details of Universal's actions, it should be him, "Universal Records ...... under your leadership" No matter, first take advantage of the situation and slap the sycophants, "And Marilyn Manson's incident, wow, those politicians don't dare to mention it now, you helped us withstand the pressure, and you are protecting us deviant singers." ”

Sloan lowered his head and smiled beside him, and Song Ya touched his hand and was pushed away by her.

"Hahaha......"

Little Bronfman laughed heartily, "By the way, I apologize to you, I was in a bit of a bad mood on the day of the meeting, and my attitude was ...... I was just talking about things, don't take it to heart. ”

"No, how could it be." Song Ya laughed, "It's my fault that I didn't do it right, it's my fault, American music ......"

"Then why didn't you go to the party that night?" Bronfman Jr. interrupted unintentionally or not.

"I'm going."

"I didn't see you there......"

"I went for half an hour and didn't see you or Mr. Geffen, and then the gunshot wound on my body hurt a little, so I left."

"Oh, I did pass very late, understandably, your gunshot wound hasn't recovered yet?"

"No, you know, that kind of old injury recurs from time to time, and I guess it will stay with me for the rest of my life like a chronic disease." Song Ya made it up casually.

"It's dangerous, isn't it? That shooting...... Your physical fitness and willpower saved yourself. ”

"And luck, thank God."

"Hahaha......"

The two chatted very affectionately, and Song Ya tried to cut to the chase again, "Alas! He sighed and said, "If nothing happens, it would be good if I could successfully launch a new college in 97?" The sales figures should be better. ”

"yes."

"The world is changing so fast, I feel a little disconnected after half a year of being in a coma, and I remember that the piracy problem was far less serious than it is today." Is it still a bit blunt? But no way? It's already March? Littleman Media will IPO next month, and even with Daniel, the chairman of the copyright dispute committee, quietly using the bureaucratic process of NARAS and RIAA to delay, a second wave of advertising bans on sites like Amerika Music will soon be announced.

This rumor has caused investment institutions to turn to the sidelines about the IPO of Litman Media? There are also participants who suggest lowering the issue price.

"Uh-huh." Bronfman Jr. agreed, in a lengthy tone.

"Uh...... Little Mr. Bronfman? There's something I need to report back to you. ”

"You don't have to be so polite to talk to me APLUS, although I am forty years old, I still think I am still very young? You should just be talking to your Homie? Yo！ What's up？ Ha ha? Is that right? ”

"Wow...... Very authentic. ”

Song Ya compliment? "Uh...... That is true? After the meeting that day, I asked someone about the Amerika Music website. Indeed, as you said, there is a problem of users sharing songs in MP3 and other formats without permission, and I have already started to deal with it. ”

"That's good."

"But...... As for the question of whether privately uploaded data can be deleted on the grounds of propagation and piracy, it will take some time to confirm that the Amerika Music website has no clear law prohibiting that kind of sharing? And the parent company of the American music website, Litman Media, is about to IPO......"

“APLUS? APLUS。 ”

Little Bronfman repeats interrupting? "You know it's a matter of life and death for all record companies, right? We cannot compromise on such phenomena. ”

"Will we change? I swear, but hopefully the ad ban will be graced until after the IPO. Song Ya continued.

"Your attitude is not even as good as that of MP3 sites." Bronfman Jr. said.

"They are deliberately leading users to do this, and the American music website will first face the legal risk of deleting the user's uploaded data without permission? We need time to confirm. I'm ......"

Song Ya sped up his words, and then took a deep breath, "I sincerely ask you to do me a favor in this matter, I will be grateful and reciprocate, such as ......"

"Wow, Hohoho......"

Little Bronfman sneered on the other end of the phone, and he could hear applause, "You're talking to me about business again?" APLUS。 ”

"Business is business, hehe."

"If I had to bargain with people for every decision I made, I would be crazy and not enough for twenty-four hours a day."

"Just let me delay for another month, okay? It's simple for you......"

"Enough!"

Little Bronfman's tone suddenly changed, "You are very annoying APLUS, I make a decision, you will carry it out, this is the easiest way to do it." Any other excuse is a waste of each other's time! ”

"I'm your singer, but I'm also a shareholder of the American music website...... And rushing to crack down on this kind of behavior now will actually boost PolyGram's share price, which will also have a negative impact on your acquisition, right? ”

He mentioned this, and Sloane immediately waved his hand in warning.

"What the fuck how did I talk to this guy for so long......"

Little Bronfman really hung up the phone, and Song Ya could still vaguely hear him talking to himself before he cut off.

"What am I talking about? Never talk to him about his business again. Sloan said.

"It's like that or not, he won't change his mind, contact Daniel's people."

Song Ya scratched her head and put down the microphone, "And isn't my judgment wrong?" Lei Shidong indulged and even secretly supported Cochran to help me sue CBS to suppress the value of CBS and pave the way for the acquisition to reduce the price, in the same way, since he wants to buy Polygram, at least there is no need to rush to deal with the factors that are unfavorable to Polygram's stock price before the merger. Anyway, now I can be sure that this boy was doing something in the first place, and according to his temper, it is estimated that he will immediately urge NARAS to issue an advertising ban as soon as possible. ”

WHILE SLOAN WENT TO CALL, SONG YA ALSO BEGAN TO CONTACT WALL STREET INVESTMENT INSTITUTIONS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE IPO OF LITMAN MEDIA AND OWNED SHARES IN YAHOO AND OTHER WEBSITES.

"It's time to act, we've decided to start right away, yes, right away."

"Everyone already knows that the second wave of NARAS advertising bans is not limited to the American music site, and we need to join forces to ......"

If you want to die, you will be against his mother, and Song Ya's mood does not fluctuate very much, perhaps because he has been mentally prepared and Sloan has always arranged all the steps in an orderly manner, and he just executes them in order.

Or maybe little Bronfman is not like Motura, who likes to be strong and fierce in front of him, which gives people great stimulation.

Of course, Wall Street people are also better than the inexplicably rich three generations, and communication is also one of the reasons.

"Hoo ......"

Originally, he had said too much before, and after making a round of phone calls, Song Ya couldn't help but feel a little dry, "What to drink?" He asked Sloane.

"Soda. Have you ever thought about APLUS, after this time you are going to offend another boss, the energy of the Bronfman family is far from Motura. Sloan took the reminder of the water he poured.

"I can't just watch the value of Litman Media shrink by tens of millions and then break it, right?"

Song Ya replied: "I'm not a rich third generation who doesn't take money properly. ”

"But your record career ...... Maybe there will be more than tens of millions of losses, but also wine. ”

"Anyway, I don't want to offend him to death, and besides, I really can't believe that Bronfman Jr. is a person who doesn't focus on business at all, and I make tens of millions less money in the record industry, so what about Universal? What about him? ”

Song Ya still had a glimmer of hope after all, "Besides, the weight of Littleman Media in my heart is actually more important, because that is me and your career...... Our business. ”

"Wow, that's a little touching." Sloan pinched his throat and quipped, "Finished drinking so quickly?" ”

"Well, I'm too thirsty."

Song Ya put down the cup that he had drunk it all in.

"Then get back to work, hurry." Sloane threw some change into the empty cup.

"Is there someone inside who is secretly obstructing?"

On the Bronfman Jr., he is very rare to be so concerned about a small matter, a day a phone call urging Universal Music President Doug Morris to quickly ask the relevant agencies to issue a ban, he is not stupid, and three days later he also realized a little weird.

"There is indeed internal and external pressure, especially Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Records, which has begun to invest heavily in the Internet industry, and the ban means that we have to fight a legal battle with a number of Internet companies backed by Wall Street, which is so new that there are still a lot of legal gray areas so far."

Doug Morris knocked on the side and persuaded: "YAHOO, American Music, Infoseek, AOL, Webchat and other companies have gathered a lot of money on their plates, and the market value of YAHOO is about to rise to 19 billion dollars, which is even more exaggerated than the previous Netscape." ”

“YAHOO？ Hehe, a company that is completely unprofitable, rest assured, the bubble blown up by Wall Street will burst sooner or later. "Bronfman Jr.

"But not yet, and it is still the sustenance of countless investors. Why don't you shrink the impact area? Doug Morris took a look at the words, and then cautiously suggested.

He still didn't fully understand the boss, he guessed that Bronfman Jr. was targeting someone, but he didn't fully grasp the subtle psychology of Bronfman Jr. who he didn't want to be seen by the outside world.

Bronfman Jr. thinks that few people can see his true intentions, and indeed no one will expose this to his face, because those who can see it probably already know his character.

"The Internet is not a place outside the law."

The severity of the website infringement in the second wave of the ban was similar, and Bronfman Jr. did not find an excuse to separate the American music website, saying: "Don't bother, make an announcement, ...... tomorrow"

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and came in to report, "A person in charge of Interpol contacted us and said that they had worked with the Mexican police to crack a major case of transnational production and sale of pirated music CDs. ”

"Ha, that's good news again, it's worth a drink." Little Bronfman went to the wine cabinet to get the wine himself, and didn't notice Doug Morris's sudden twinkle in his eyes.

"Uh......"

But the secretary continued to report with a somewhat ugly face: "They also caught a few of our people. ”

"What our people?" Doug Morris asked.

"Our employees, the employees of the vinyl disc factory in California, secretly transcribe the master tapes of the records that were sent over and sell them to pirates to produce pirated CDs with the highest sound quality on the market today, and the pirates will resell them to their counterparts in Mexico, Asia and Damao."

The secretary peeked at the boss's gloomy expression and said, "The Interpol people say that this is a global network, and the number is particularly huge, because our vinyl factory still undertakes ...... Other distribution companies record it, so we're not the only victims. ”

"Damn, it looks like you're going to have to make a few phone calls and apologize to our friends."

Bronfman Jr. furrowed his furrowed eyebrows, and quickly regained his noble demeanor and quipped to Doug Morris: "I said how did the pirated disc come out so quickly." ”

"Okay, but I guess there are such people within their families, it's just that our management is stricter and we are the earliest."

It seems that the boss has not yet reacted to the connection of two things? Doug Morris comforted him, excused himself to call other companies, and immediately wiped his sweat and called Daniel after going out, "Is that you?" ”

"What am I?"

Daniel asked rhetorically.

"Remembered the casual suspicions I had when I had dinner with you last time."

"What suspicion?"

"Don't pretend, what benefits does APLUS give you?"

“APLUS？ I've already broken with him, and you're not unaware. ”

"Come on, I finally know now that you were the one inside the RIAA who secretly helped him delay the ban."

"Ban? It's just a procedural issue, and it will be released soon. What the hell are you talking about? ”

"I'm going to expose you!"

"Isn't that the case? Forget it, anyway, you should think about it yourself first, Mr. President. ”
