Chicago 1990

Chapter 1153 The Year of M&A

Little Bronfman is a noble son who has always been personable. Song Ya did not hear any special attitude from his tone. The super merger and acquisitions savings are ready to go, and it is understandable that he is too busy to care about socializing.

The two parties have in-depth cooperation in the recording, film, and wine industries. After their three majors come out, Universal Music's acquisition of A+ Records will not lose money. A+ Film Studios and KM Pictures will cooperate with the Blade Warrior project as the distributor Universal Pictures The industry has created a good profit, and two sequels will be released by Universal Pictures.

In the wine business, I also endured the guilt of two Seagram veterans who instigated Rise to sign a long-term distribution contract for the A+ wine industry to Seagram. In that matter, Seagram was a big bargain.

Song Ya naturally thinks that he is undoubtedly in the honeymoon period with the little Bronfman.

"Forgot to make a few flattery words, please make it up next time."

Indifferently put the phone down, "OK, what should we do now?" He rubbed his hands and asked Sloan.

"Inner City Broadcasting Corporation, let's go to the meeting room."

Sloan called in his subordinates in charge of this and led Song Ya and Alicia into the meeting room.

They are all very competent workaholics. The three of them immediately entered the state. The main thing was to transfer Alicia’s voting rights to help Song Ya. After this transaction with the bragging father, there were only two seats left, and they were officially transferred to Litman. In the hands of the media.

"Well, I don't have to run to New York in the future."

Because the inner city also took the opportunity to change law firms during his coma, Alicia Kong took the right to vote but did not have much personal interest. During those five months, the parties to the inner city broadcast company’s board of directors did not dare to rush into public relations. The governor's wife.

Alicia smiled relievedly after signing, "What's next?"

"APLUS." Sloan pushed some documents to Song Ya and asked him to transfer the remaining 10% inner city equity in A+ Copyright and Assets Company to Littman Media.

"This is the last sum, right?" Song Ya confirmed after signing.

"Yes, you will soon get your 100 million from other financing parties." Sloan asked.

"Hoho..."

Song Ya glanced at the calendar on his watch, "I can't wait, I have to rush back to the University of Chicago to report on time."

"Three years of law school career hasn't been so difficult..."

Alicia sighed about his past when he was studying, "But you should have a much easier time."

"I got in with my ability. How about 170 points. What was your LSAT score that year?" Song Ya asked her.

"Uh... the law school I went to is not as famous as Chicago."

She looked away for excuses.

"Hey..." Is that not as high as me?Song Ya secretly rejoiced in her heart, and likes to compare test results with others the most.

"Ms. Sloan."

An executive from Litman Media hurried in and whispered to Sloan.

"The IPO has new troubles, everyone, the news just got, Disney seems to be interested in acquiring Infoseek to enter the network industry."

Sloan left a word and hurried out to follow the person who told the news, "I want to make a few phone calls with other financing parties and am disaccompanyed."

Traditional entertainment industry giants enter the Internet?They have great advantages in content. In fact, many Hollywood and traditional media giants have been testing the waters after the Internet sector has skyrocketed for so long. For example, NBC has long cooperated with Microsoft in depth to move the content of MSNBC News Channel to the Internet. .

But Infoseek has its own music community section. If they were defeated by YAHOO, if they can get Disney's support, they will inevitably lean more towards entertainment content, which in turn will threaten the American music website.

After driving away Dile and abandoning the Netscape department, Amerika Music website and Infoseek have also ended their strategic partnership and switched to YAHOO, which has a better relationship with Microsoft...

"Are you going to participate in the competition?"

Alicia asked Song Ya who began to ponder, her eyes gradually becoming serious.

"Probably not, I can't afford Infoseek either."

Even if Infoseek's stock price is sluggish, it is still too expensive for itself, and Kirsch, the boss who has supported Dile, should not like him.

"Can you?" He asked a staff member in the corner who was using a laptop.

"Please."

The other party obediently stepped aside.

Song Ya expertly typed the Infoseek domain name on the IE browser, the web page layout has been greatly improved, and a free email service has been added.

After YAHOO acquired Rocket mail, the second-largest free mailbox in the market last year, Microsoft also spent 400 million dollars to take down Hotmail, which has the largest market share. Because the threshold of mail server technology is not high, other companies catching up have chosen to do it themselves. This is the same from Infoseek.

Not very easy to use, but there is no big difference with other companies, but the user base is far behind.

Song Ya took a brief look. He remembered that he was familiar with Hotmail the first time he used Hotmail, but unfortunately, with the abundant financing from the stock market and venture capital, the Internet industry is progressing with each passing day. Last year, he was in a coma and rehabilitated and saved his business. Waiting for interference, I didn't pay much attention to this aspect.

It's too late now. He opens YAHOO. Its home is completely full of all the elements of portal sites such as search, online yellow pages, news, weather, and other online community services. Americans increasingly prefer to set the browser homepage directly to YAHOO. , The market share is amazing, otherwise the stock price will not continue to take off, completely replacing Netscape’s first position in the Internet.

Fortunately, QuanMusic did not grasp the opportunity of the turbulent Amerika Music website for nearly a year. In fact, when they interrupted Dile’s listing process, many Silicon Valley and Wall Street Capital turned around and found Amerika’s biggest competitor, Quan Music, but all of them were rejected by the shareholders of all music websites who had romantic beliefs. They firmly claimed that they only wanted to build a professional record database and let the opportunity of getting richer slip away from their hands.

Song Ya opened his own American music website, replacing Dile’s new president, John Zhang, who is a technical expert. He has no knowledge of the entertainment industry or fan psychology. He will only concentrate on improving the web experience and record database.

Yes, the record database, the whole music group are worthy of respect, but business is business, and business competition is so ruthless, and gratitude is too expensive.

If you don’t seize the opportunity, then don’t blame me for slowing down and taking the backhand. Although I have lost the lawsuit, Song Ya and Sloan both agreed that the American music website should have its own record and singer database sooner or later. Build it from scratch!Don't worry about funds. Burn some money at random. After listing, you can burn a lot and you can catch up. With the number of users ahead, it is not difficult to dig out the biggest advantage of this competitor to completely eliminate hidden dangers.

The layout of the website is not as fancy as in the Dile era. The stability, access speed, web page opening speed, and fluency have also been greatly increased. Except for gossip and singer special edition, the user activity is not as good as before. In other respects, it is still the first Aramco in the market segment. Liga Music website.

A sentence-by-sentence analysis of the advanced version of'APLUS New Song Can't Hold Us.'

He saw a very popular post on his fan page. The poster was Rashida Jones with the prefix Artist, noble certified real-name artist.

She is very'hard-working', she is really parsing each word, very professional.For example: "Fat Cat, fat cat, especially those rich, powerful and smug rich guys, and the latter sentence to APLUS should be a metaphor for the record company executives who have suppressed him..."

The girl also has a small suffix she added after each paragraph of text,'Currently studying at Harvard University.'Let Song Ya have fun.

"I hope that Disney will not have time to complete this transaction before our IPO. Uh, you go out first."

At this time, Sloan returned from the call, she drove away her men first, "APLUS, can you find Disney Emperor Eisner to find out?"

"Linton, it's me."

Song Ya was really unfamiliar with Eisner, so he grabbed the phone and called his old friend Linton.

"It's impossible before your IPO in April." Linton gave him a reassurance. "Although I am not responsible for that piece of affairs, Mr. Eisner should want to take back Starwave first."

"OK, thanks."

Linton is still very powerful. He will never reveal this to himself if the relationship is not in place, although he may not realize how important the news is to him... Well, Xiaoben could have crossed him out.

"Starwave owns the network business of TV stations such as ABC and ESPN. At present, most of the shares are in the hands of Paul Allen, Microsoft's second-largest individual shareholder."

After relaying the news to Sloan, she also breathed a sigh of relief, "This should be the stupidity committed by the two media when they did not realize the speed of the rise of the Internet in the early days. This is indeed much more important for Disney than the acquisition of Infoseek."

"It seems that all major media companies are expanding this year?" Alicia asked.

"This year is the year of mergers and acquisitions."

TV stations are merging with each other, TV networks are merging with each other, and the telecommunications industry is merging with each other. It seems that record companies and Hollywood will also join, and it is cross-platform. The complete loosening of the telecommunications bill will surely be as predicted by people of insight. Created several super media groups.

"Redstone's Viacom is expected to win Global Television Network, BET, and CBS this year, and go out everywhere. Global is preparing to acquire Polygram. Other large media groups are not idle and crazy. If you change to this year, I guess you won’t even have access to Litman Publishing."

Sloan said: "Print media and small traditional publishing companies are worthless but will affect the media hegemony of large media groups."

"Ok."

Song Ya didn't have any clues. "In short, let's go public with Litman Media. Disney's acquisition of Infoseek is bad for the stock price, right?"

"As long as there is no further definite news before the IPO... shall we have a meeting?"

"can."

Sloan called people in and proceeded to the next meeting. Song Ya also participated in the discussion, and finally decided to release the news that Litman Media was also targeted by other big companies before the IPO, and used the good rumors of high-priced acquisitions to counter the bad news.

"My dear, I won't go back tonight. I'm a little tired from meetings, and I don't want to take that long car."

Song Ya glanced at the weather outside and the staff who started to leave work, and called Shakira, "There is a hotel in the town. Are you coming over? Uh... don't bother... OK."

Putting down the phone, he looked a little sorry to the two elite women who were staring at him and smiling, "No way, the new girlfriend is a bit annoying."

"It will take a while to come by car from Tribeca."

Sloan raised his wrist and glanced at her Van Cleef & Arpels, took ten swords from his pocket and shook it.

That night Shakira...

In the car before...

Song Ya swallowed, his expression turned a bit tragic.

"Ms. Sloan, Mr. APLUS!"

Fortunately, an employee who had already left work turned back, "The latest news, it is rumored that AOL (American Online) is trying to acquire Netscape!"
