Chapter 715? The Vicious APLUS
The latest website: This feeling is really annoying. Ever since I became the light of African descent, a popular singer, a billionaire and a popular Fliggy, it has been a long time since no one except my wife made me embarrass myself in person. Motura also said harsh words to his face, and never pestered him too much. Wesley Streep, who was knocked out by his own punch, only dared to demonstrate with his eyes from a distance when he ran into him at a party. Jim Clark, a technology tycoon, would When he stretched his hand across the border, he reprimanded him on a matter-of-fact basis. Even the big boss Johnson, who had just been BET, could at most use scolding Gordon face-to-face to make side-stepping remarks.
Quincy Jones and the others dare! ?
"Don't be calm about APLUS, maybe they are just provoking you on purpose..."
Gently stroking his shoulder with one hand, Alicia said, "Maybe Pierre is also happy to see you fully agree to his investment request because of impulsiveness."
"Will the Sutton family cooperate with Quincy Jones?"
When she said this, Song Ya was also a little vigilant. If these people made a special trip to Washington just to enjoy their frustration in person, it would be too low...
In any case, they are all elites among the black elites. Quincy Jones is a senior musician and a frequent visitor to the Grammy Awards. He has a strong relationship with black stars such as MJ, Oprah, Will Smith, and Kelly Lau. .
Russell Simmons was the godfather of the New York hip-hop circle in the 1980s. Although he has been unlucky in recent years, his net worth skyrocketed after he received nearly 50 million shares of Def Jam from Polygram. VIBE magazine, which Quincy Jones co-runs, and some fashion industry investments, should also be able to cross the billionaire threshold by now.
LL Cool J is an East Coast hip-hop singer with seniority older than Rakim and Kane. He is struggling to support his status with various hosts and film and television dramas, but this year his new album Mr. Smith is selling well, which can be regarded as a small turnaround Red, he bought a small amount of Def Jam shares when he and Daniel forced Russell Simmons to retreat, and now he followed Russell Simmons and Def Jam President Lyle Cohen to clear the shares and made a small fortune...
There is also Puff Daddy, his bad boy record is the eastern "main force" of the east-west coast hip-hop war, although he is at a disadvantage by the strong Su Ge Knight, but don't delay this guy's opportunity to make a fortune, Biggie's record sells very well Well, those suits and other peripheral goods probably brought him a lot of income, and he still has gang resources in Harlem.
If they join forces to inject capital into the inner city broadcasting company, combined with the political resources of the Sutton family and the Manhattan Gang of Dinkins and others,
It will form a perfect chain from politics to business to record companies, music media and even street people. Except for Quincy Jones, they are all New Yorkers, so they naturally form a group.
Then he would be embarrassed. The embarrassing point is that he really didn't want to buy the inner city broadcasting company after the pressure of the Vic case eased. But he couldn't just watch the inner city broadcasting company fall into the hands of his own 'Alliance of Enemies', which was complicated by his own desire to spend less money.
In the final analysis, I still did not expect Polygram to pay such a high premium for the control of Def Jam, fifty plus twenty-one, or a little higher. Polygram now controls more than 71% of Def Jam shares. Let Russell Simmons, one of the people who hate himself the most, have enough 'ammunition' again.
It also makes sense for Polygram to do so, because after Def Jam records are integrated into the Polygram distribution system, with the hot sales of records by Warren G, LL Cool J and others, they will start to make profits again this year, because their investment is too scattered and they have no energy Responding immediately to new changes in the interest relationship, let Lyle Cohen and Russell Simmons quietly complete the matter behind their backs, the largest individual shareholder with 17.6%.
What's even more annoying is that 5% of the 17.6% is held by him privately on behalf of Daniel.
"I will not."
Song Ya figured it out, patted the hand on the shoulder, turned around and smiled and said, "It's just a new challenge, let's start working now, Linda, call Ms. Sloan, Gordon and Dr. Chen."
"What are you going to do?" Alicia asked.
"What do you suggest? You're in charge of the Inner City Broadcasting Company case."
Song Ya's eyes were shining brightly, and the spirit of struggle that he had lost due to not feeling the pressure for a long time came back, just like when he dared to challenge Motura and Congressman Underwood back then.
"We don't need to rush to bid for the inner city broadcasting company with them immediately, so just continue to go according to the scheduled plan..."
Alicia advised: "Business is business."
"Although this is the case, I am a man. I must give the most clear, swift, and fierce counterattack to those who dare to laugh at me. I don't accept people who are weaker than me to come and insult me. Uh, even strong people can't do it." , do it!"
In the following meeting, he leaned over and pressed his hands on the table, and said firmly.
"Then reach a capital injection agreement with Pierre Sutton as quickly as possible?"
Ms. Sloan had just opened her notebook and hadn't figured out what was going on.
"No, this is not my way of fighting back, especially when those people just now may have tempted me to do so."
Song Ya shook her head, "I don't want to be a fool."
Everyone looked up at him, but no one took the initiative to speak.
"Come on! Let's use our brains together, no matter what it is, I want the most damaging, worst, and most vicious idea, anything is fine!" Song Ya clapped her hands and cheered: "As long as it can make those people feel uncomfortable!"
"Uh..." Linda began, "Polaroid bypassed us and bought over 20 percent of Def Jam Records, bringing their stake to over 70 percent, but we can still use 100 percent." The 17.6 shareholders’ rights have stumbling blocks to their daily operations, such as frequently checking the financial situation, releasing some unfavorable remarks to the company, etc..."
"Okay, you can do it and let Goodman and Hamlin Law Firm assist you." Song Ya nodded, "By the way, Def Jam Records is now heavily dependent on Warren G's record sales to survive. This is their weakness, help me Ask him out, I helped him out at Def Jam Records, and now it's time for Dre, my half-brother, to pay back."
"Warren G is doing well with Def Jam now, he wouldn't necessarily want to leave that for A+," Linda said hesitantly.
"It's okay, publicity, just let the outside world think so. Some people in PolyGram will panic. They just paid 100 million for Def Jam's shares in their early 20s, which means they have a new idea for Def Jam. The valuation is nearly 500 million! 500 million meters! No matter how rich and powerful they are, those who make this decision must always be responsible to Polygram’s shareholders, management and board of directors. They must have reasons to persuade internal decisions. We all know Def Jam is not worth the money, not worth it at all. Once Warren G is rumored to be leaving, their fig leaf will be lifted under the scrutiny of the outside world. PolyGram's board of directors must find that only LL Cool J Leading a bunch of past old singers!"
The more Song Ya talked, the more excited he was. The previous Game of Thrones feeling is back. He likes this feeling, especially.
"According to this line of thinking, Puff Daddy's loopholes are even bigger. Let's focus on Biggie's scandal, or the survivor who was sent by him in the Sinaloa case..." Linda continued.
"No, Puff Daddy won't move for the time being. He at least expressed his attitude in front of me just now. As long as he doesn't perform other actions, he won't move." Song Ya waved his hand.
"Quincy Jones is invincible. He has seniority, and he has been talking big for so many years and nothing happened." Linda continued.
"He has, his youngest daughter and 2PAC have publicly sparred in the media, but now his eldest daughter is exchanging love letters with 2PAC in prison? The wonderful thing is that this eldest daughter, Kedada Jones, is also LL Cool J's ex-girlfriend, And she also likes to show off her platonic relationship with 2PAC to the outside world? Hype, ridicule, and personal humiliation, uh, let’s say that 2PAC not only greened Biggie, but also greened LL Cool J. Before 2PAC went to prison, she The two got together when they were still dating LL Cool J. This matter let Louise report and the American music website do it. Didn't DeLay say that the pop music discussion board of the website has gathered a lot of popularity? Just try the power of new media! Call Delay, right now..."
Song Ya sent Linda to call, "They don't know what kind of character they have provoked! Go on! I need more ammunition!" He yelled at the others.
"It's a little too much." Alicia smiled at him with crooked eyes.
"Hey, I'm a beast when I'm vicious." Song Ya was rather complacent.
"The rest is the inner city broadcasting company. Is it necessary to stimulate them in advance? We are already secretly poaching, and some people have already negotiated the salary. We just wait for the assembly of all departments of A+CN."
Alicia asked.
"What month was it originally scheduled for?" Song Ya asked.
"August, in August, I will finish the task of being a guest host of BET Evening News, and I can go to Chicago to start preparations for the TV station to start broadcasting." Gordon replied.
"As early as July, the preparations can start without waiting for you to be in place. I asked Chicago to rent the office space a month in advance, call them, and ask them to come to see me. I am in Washington, and the sooner the better You imply that whoever expresses loyalty to the new boss sooner will be able to get better resources and treatment in A+CN, I will not break my promise."
Song Ya ordered, "It's time to put pressure on Sutton and his son, it's all up to them, stupid and greedy!"
"OK……"
Gordon took out a small notebook from the inner pocket of his suit, "My female partner on the evening news will be the head host of Dorothy's black women's TV station. The Morning Star and I have already talked to Dorothy, A+ CN invested 1 million in her small TV station, got 5% of the shares with the same proportion and rights as the inner city broadcasting company, and formed a deep cooperation with A+CN as a brother and sister station, and then she let my partner go. "
"Is Dorothy's TV station in Baltimore?" Song Ya asked.
"Yes, very close to Washington." Gordon nodded.
"Let Dorothy and your partner come over tonight, just tonight. If I come tonight, I will provide the MV of my second album to her TV station for free."
"Okay, the Inner City Broadcasting Company has a lot of good people who have worked with me for many years on the Washington radio station. Some people are still hesitant. So far, five people have been negotiated." Gordon continued.
"How many were originally scheduled?" Song Ya asked: "I remember that Radio Washington is one of the few radio stations in his family that can be self-financing, right?"
"Yes."
Gordon nodded and laughed, "If possible, the more the better, they are great. I even want to recruit their editor-in-chief and even the general manager to A+CN. Managers in charge of specific affairs. Then there are some people in their Detroit branch, they are better to dig, Detroit is not far from Chicago, life is more convenient.”
"No problem, call, I'll see you all, one by one, also, the sooner you come, the better the treatment!"
