Chapter 1245 Don't Misjudgment

"What? Slow down... Linda, slow down..."

Linda immediately reported Bronfman Jr.'s request for the merger of A+ Records and Def Jam, and Song Yachi sat up from the bed, "He has no power."

"But he just asked for it at the meeting." Linda said: "I'm worried... I just asked David Geffen, and he said he didn't know, but promised to help me find out from Bronfman Jr."

"Those bastards will keep it from me, for sure."

When Geffen Records purchased 50% of the shares of A+ Records, the agreement stipulated that the management rights would still be retained by A+ Records, but the person who said this was the owner of Seagram Global Group...

Maybe that rich third generation has the means to make the impossible possible? Otherwise, how could he openly order in front of so many company executives?

What means can make me submit? What conclusive evidence of me has been caught? Are you sure you can threaten success? definitely is……

Handle... what handle?

Sure enough, after the failure of the Digital Millennium Act, did you free your hand and start touching me? What a hatred...

Song Ya, who knew well that she was shitting in the dark, put down the phone and quickly developed a rich imagination, making various guesses suspiciously, and her face couldn't help but become more and more gloomy.

"What's wrong? Honey." Shakira muttered and posted it from behind.

"It's nothing, you go on sleeping."

After kissing the woman, Song Ya put on her nightgown, left Ruanrouxiang and went outside to open the laptop, 'click, click...' The only sound in the quiet room was the sound of clicking the mouse.

'Seagram Global Chairman Edgar Bronfman Jr. testifies at Senate hearing...'

From our own point of view, the Seagram Global Group or the Bronfman family are too powerful, and they are almost powerless to fight back except for passive resistance such as not issuing a post. Song Ya found the news page a few days ago, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, The rich third generation with tanned skin and a more mature beard is delivering a speech in Congress. The photo with the picture was taken from the side and front, with a slight elevation angle, showing the aggressive temperament of the youngest top entertainment tycoon.

The full text of his speech is also attached to the MSNBC online version. It is indeed a well-thought-out, highly provocative essay. In the following paragraph about Senator Durbin's question about monopoly doubts, the accompanying picture is replaced by his slightly revealing Impatiently reaching out to block the reporter's lens.

Senator Durbin, from his native Illinois, caused him little trouble, either.

And just a touch of it, what's left is a piece of praise from the media such as "the last guardian of the interests of the entertainment industry", "a fearless industry tycoon", "time will prove him right".

Even the Internet industry saw that the victory of the Digital Millennium Act was in sight, and did not immediately use the CD resale price of the previous six major CDs to maintain monopoly behavior and continue to hunt down with weapons, as Jim Clark said. For myself, the Internet industry will never be so gentle.

As soon as he climbed up, a large number of stars gathered, and the platform helped to protest, and most of the Hollywood giants basically spoke for him, at least on the surface.

Political resources can’t be more competitive. Bronfman and his son have recently been interviewed by the Grand Commander. The old Bronfman announced his resignation as the chairman of the conference after just completing the World War II compensation negotiations between the Jewish and the Swiss banking industry. It was almost complete. Some time ago, the old man had frequently met with various Jewish tycoons such as Redstone, and even met Greenspan, chairman of the US Federal Reserve.

Song Ya rummaged through, searched with keywords, and found a photo of the old Bronfman and Greenspan in the previous news, and her brows tightened.

The Seagram Global Group and the Bronfman family are like Pikes Peak in the Rocky Mountains. The "Mountain of America" ​​stands tall and indestructible.

How to fight this?

Yes, there were indeed rumors that Seagram Global had high debts and financial pressure after the acquisition of Polygram, but after selling some assets to IAC, the chairman of the board of directors of Barry Diller, they have obtained a large amount of cash, and other sale...

Continue to search, yes, Bronfman Jr. sold a large movie copyright library to MGM, or reached a repurchase agreement settlement with MGM, 250 million, the relevant news picture is him and MGM The photo of May's boss Kerkorian shaking hands and signing the contract, and the rumors of old grievances between the two families also dissipated in the sincere smiles of the old and the young.

From winning Polygram in June to the present, except for the inexplicable narrow-mindedness against himself, Song Ya's feeling from the rich three generations is undoubtedly very capable, and I believe it is the same in the eyes of most people.

He won Polygram to form the world's largest record group, and he did it.

Integrating the Bronfman family's wine, movie, and record businesses into one single monopoly, he did.

He successively split and sold the overlapped departments of Universal and PolyGram. Although the outside world laughed at some of the businesses, there were no major mistakes on the whole, and he did it.

He has easily done the large-scale layoffs that often cause multinational companies to suffer.

And Barry Diller, who made the biggest profit from him and took away all the media under the former Universal, did not fall out afterwards as the outside world guessed. Barry Diller continued to stand firmly by his side. The media power that he exchanged for cash can still be used by him, and the influence has not been lost. If this is the case, is it not a big loss?

"By the way, damn Barry Diller!"

He remembered that the 'Hollywood Killer' had vowed at the airport not long ago that he would persuade the third generation of the rich to withdraw the lawsuit and reconcile with him, business is business or something.

As a result, the Recording Industry Association v. American Music website case is still ongoing, and Fu Sandai started to toss A+ Records again today.

Could it be that he is helping the third generation of the rich to set off smoke bombs and delaying time?

Song Ya suspects that there is a big conspiracy hidden in it, and once she rejects the merger between A+ Records and Def Jam, it will launch like lightning.

"M-FXXK I will not sit still!"

Go to war! Go to war! Cursing, he reached for the landline, looking for Sloan on business.

Fortunately, the bell rang before he picked up the phone, "APLUS." Donovan, co-manager of William Morris, called, "Barry Diller asked me to take his envoy to you. One flight is leaving soon."

"Stupid special envoy... Do you know what happened at the meeting at Universal Studios today?" Song Ya asked.

"I just found out." Donovan replied, "Anyway, don't be impulsive, and make a decision after we talk."

Song Ya sneered, "Hehe, what are you talking about? Keep fooling me, tell me not to be impulsive, and buy time for them?"

"Calm down, APLUS, things are not what you think, call Mr. Barry Diller back, right now, okay?"

"I'll take a call."

On the golf course, Barry Diller said to Bronfman Jr. after seeing his confidant holding a mobile phone in the distance.

"Hey, pull me to relax, and you're on your own phone?" Bronfman Jr. complained, spreading his arms.

"Be careful, you're about to lose the bet."

Barry Diller walked down the green with a smile, glanced at the calling number and then lowered his voice, "APLUS." He walked behind the golf cart and took a tuna of water slowly.

"Is there something wrong?" the young man on the other end of the phone asked very rudely.

"Listen, I know something happened today, but the most important thing for us now is not to misjudge each other, APLUS," he said.

"hehe."

"I'm planning to get you to redeem yourself from Universal, that is, to buy back the A+ records. Now there is only this way."

Advertise, 【 app 】It's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources of books, all books, and fast updates!

Bronfman Jr. has putt into the hole, "Ho!" Fu Sandai proudly demonstrated to this side, "It's your turn! Old man."

Barry Diller raised his hand to signal that he knew, and continued: "I'm sorry I can't convince little Edgar, I don't know why he doesn't like you so much, but I really don't want to see you continue to have meaningless internal friction, it's bad for everyone Not good...are you listening?"

"I am listening……"

"Anyway, when my man arrives, he will talk to you in detail, soon, within twenty-four hours."

Barry Diller tucked the club under his arm and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, "We'll talk again later, it's settled, OK?"

"Okay okay, but I don't have much patience."

"Well, it must be kept secret. I mean absolutely kept secret, otherwise all transactions will be void."

He returned the mobile phone to his cronies, took a sip of water, "Here we come..." He walked towards the green again.

"What did Barry Diller talk to you about afterwards?"

Beverly Hills, Jack Warner Estate, and David Geffen, who was belatedly aware, also called Doug Morris, President of Universal Music, "Why didn't I know that Bronfman Jr. planned to merge A+ Records and Def Jam thing?"

"I didn't get the news in advance." Doug Morris replied, "It seems that the boss just wanted to humiliate Linda and APLUS temporarily. Everyone knows that APLUS had an unpleasant cooperation experience with Def Jam before."

"Don't lie to me, you don't know... Could it be related to Barry Diller? Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived by such a coincidence... What idea did he come up with to steal money from Bronfman, right? You guys That's what we're going to talk about after the meeting, right?"

David Geffen is not easy to fool, but he also wants to be wrong.

"I can't reveal, sorry David." There were so few people present that Doug Morris didn't dare to divulge.

"Don't forget that I'm still a shareholder of Geffen Records and Universal Music. You shouldn't hide such a big thing from me." David Geffen said, "Our interests are the same."

"No way, the whole world will know that I said it soon after I say it."

The minority shareholder, Doug Morris, knows that David Geffen has quietly cashed out a lot of money in advance this year in order to take over high-quality assets from the boss. Even the ranking of the Fujibi rich list has been greatly dragged down by this, but it is still in vain until now. Busy, watching Barry Diller make a fortune while getting nothing, that is greedy, angry and anxious.

"It's inexplicable!"

Game of Thrones ended and I was out? David Geffen hung up the phone angrily, and called Ron Meyer, the president of Universal Pictures, but Ron Meyer didn't say anything. He became more and more frustrated, so he had to call Song Ya.

"I'm still collecting information, do you know anything?" Song Ya asked back.

"Is Barry Diller playing tricks again?" David Geffen asked again.

"How to say?" Song Ya asked back.

"Oh SHXT! Don't let me find out what you're doing behind my back!"

"I'm the victim, Mr. Geffen."

"OKOK, I'm a little pissed off, sorry. Don't talk about this, remember to meet with the other commander when you go to Ermao, I've already taken care of everything here."

"I know, don't worry."

David Geffen took a few laps in the study, and after thinking about it, he still planned to visit Bronfman Jr. at night. At least he had the right to interfere with the management of Geffen Records. No matter who merged with his important label A+ Records, he had no The reason was kept in the dark, that too.

At night, he was about to get in the car when a call came, "Barry." He gritted his teeth and answered the call.

"There's a business...it's not big, and I don't have a clue yet...but I think there must be no misjudgment between you and me until it's settled, so I have some latest progress to inform you."

Barry Diller asked on the phone: "Any time now? Shall we get together? Me, you, and Doug Morris."
