American Fortune Life

Back in the study, Andy saw Carl and Li Xiaoying chatting about their previous copyright issues, smiling back to their seats and saying to Carl: "Before you leave Heaven, go to the Mordor's office and make some arrangements. ”

Carl blinked his eyes and nodded with a smile that I knew how to do, then glanced at Li Xiaoying and smiled at Andy: “Actually, if you want, there's another copyright gold mine on the U.S. side that you can dig, but it can be a hassle to take it off because there are too many people to stare at, and all kinds of shameful means are used. ”

“Oh?” Andy's interest was raised, and he looked at Carl with a surprised look on his face and said, "It doesn't look like any kind of trouble. Otherwise, you'll definitely take it off first, come and show it to me, tell me. ”

“Michael Jackson bought ATV's music bank in 1985 at a cost of $47.5 million, which currently contains the copyright to 250 Beatles songs, as well as 6,000 works by legendary singers and bands such as Elvis, Steve Wand, Marvin Gaye, Rolling Stone, Maria Kelly and Eminem. ”

When I heard Carl's words, Andy's previously aroused interest suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at each other with no anger, spitting: “Michael sees them as his own life, how could he let go, besides, Sonny has done everything he can for half of Sony's shares in music, and I don't think Michael would accept my olive branches if I joined him. ”

Carl also shrugged helplessly: “He was too stubborn and stubborn, which almost ruined him. His vision of the first person in popular music around the world was too heavy, unfortunately... ”

“Oh, to be honest, I still can't see a black man selling more records and owning copyrights to the songs of the White Beatles and Elvis. He made one of the smartest investments ever, and some people prefer to see black people making big bucks wasting their wealth and failing to invest so that their minds can be balanced, and now the opposite is true... ”

Li Xiaoying grinned, and her argument did speak of the idea, what bleaching, what set Michael in hell was originally Rosenmen's lawsuit, to be honest, or a reason why white and black couldn't reconcile.

“Cough...” Carl couldn't help but cough twice, a white and black topic that he would not comment on, no matter what he thought, the string of political correctness was already tight in every American's heart.

“ Carl, do you know the current valuation of the cookies in his hands? ”Andy didn't want to comment more on the issue, either, because Michael was deliberately targeted and hostile, and it wasn't someone who could change alone, followed by a group of interests pushing collectively, after all, Michael moved too many people's cakes, not to mention the biting teeth he hated by the global pop wrestlers.

“Forbes valued this set of tricks at about $550 million, but he used it as collateral after Sony founded Sony Music and borrowed $280 million from Barclays Bank to settle old accounts, and Sony's growing investment in expanding the company over the next few years forced him to keep up with the capital increase in order to keep half the shares, so he was already in debt.

I said that the opportunity, in fact, was an agreement between Michael and Sony to set up a music company that could ask each other to acquire half of the shares in each other's hands. ”

After Carl had finished, he looked at Andy with a burning eye, while Andy frowned slightly and sighed.

“No matter how brilliant the data is, there have been countless twists and turns and bloody storms around this set of copyrights over the last two decades, and so much wind and rain has gone down, I don't think Michael would agree to sell his shares, and he knows very well that these copyrights are the source of all his troubles. He won't sell it, if he wants to sell it, he will sell it already. After all, a lot of people have been staring at this set of cookies for so many years, and the deal is not good for you boss! ”

Li Xiaoying did not like this, and this is a pond full of water, more than two decades of resentment accumulated, no one can say what thunder is buried in it, and there is a good chance of touching a nose grey.

Andy's eyebrows stretched and looked at Li Xiaoying with a smile and a graceful expression. He shrugged his helpless shoulders and said: "Hear me, my wind god doesn't like this investment, then forget it. ”

The corner of Carl's mouth is smoking and he can only shake his head helplessly. It is true that he spends hundreds of millions to acquire this set of treasures, and the profits he brings each year are only tens of millions of dollars. Although it can be said that it is a long stream of fine water, it is good to get more than 10 million dollars after deducting all the messy costs, which is really a bit inexpensive.

However, Carl's interest in this collection is not just in monetary value, but also in the influence of the music industry, which is the most important reason Michael Jackson, who has become the world's first popular music obsession, is unwilling to let go, even as a result of turning his back on many of his industry friends and becoming a lonely widow.

Now that the proposal has been rejected, then the matter has been reversed, just that the three of us here didn't think that about this copyright battle, or that Yin Yang and Yang were involved in the wrong thing, which is, of course, the last word.

Speaking of Michael, this is a conversation that is hard to end once opened, and for Michael's high indebtedness, he can't even afford to fight the lawyers' fees, and he can't help but shush.

How can a lot of people have hundreds of millions of dollars in debt and hundreds of thousands of dollars in small amounts because Michael's earnings are so high?

It has to be said that income and wealth are two things, but people often confuse the two concepts, and Jackson's income makes him a wealthy minority on the planet, but his luxury lifestyle and high debt interest leave him with little, if not no, annual income.

Aside from anything else, his dream estate alone would cost him five million dollars for a year of maintenance, which would force him to make money again after retiring, because the debtor forced him to come to the door, which is why he would say to his friends privately, "If I don't sing, they'll kill me. ”

Anyway, shush, everyone is just eating melons in this matter. Even if Andy loves his music very much, he was obsessed with it in his previous life. He never forgets that under a big stage built in the open air, the depressed sea of people, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands. Jackson appeared in military uniform, sunglasses, behind dozens of professional soldiers...

On August 16, Flying Fish took the eighth gold medal with no suspense, making it a legend and becoming one of the greatest athletes in the world. The media in the United States blew him out of nowhere.

The ancients said, "The world is full of fame, and so is defamation. ”

Looking at the pictures of the flying fish with the eight gold medals, Andy couldn't help but smile and close the newspaper and stop paying attention. The legendary path of flying fish was over and his ordeal followed.

Prestige, jealousy, defamation. A lot of people want to take him down, take a hand from him, squeeze him out, crush him. After becoming a giant star, rumors, controversy, danger, terror follow closely. That great reputation will be the source of inspirational rumours and controversy.

The greater the reputation, the greater the greed Y, and the greater the pressure to fear damage to the reputation. The greater the psychological trauma, the more difficult it will be to see and let go, the more incurable the wound will be until death.

And if Andy remembers correctly, then the flying fish suffered from severe depression, "I live in a real dark world and I don't want to live any more!” Andy was deeply touched by this, and he became famous as a young man, and two years of darkness, though experienced by his predecessors, was like a personal experience when he received it completely.

Of course, all of this is no longer Andy's concern, as he has come to his second Olympic tournament, the 14th Final, against Morocco.
