Chicago 1990

"Ms. Fleming, let's be clear. I didn't act as agreed, but I don't think there is anything to be angry about. The sooner the news is announced, the better for us..."

"Calm down, please calm down. I visited you last year. I said I wanted to get your magazine. But what about you? First tell me about the principles of high society, and then personally give it to the magazine. With Litman, I respect you and didn’t participate in the bidding. Today, if we want to buy this magazine back, we need to pay more money... The guys like Litman who destroy the magazine can make a fortune. Do you think this is fair to me?"

"I am seventeen years old this year, from a slum, and I still can't grasp the scale of this multi-party game, so let's make it simple, my lawyers and accountants will bring better conditions than what I promised last night. Negotiate with your personal advisor once, and there will be no second chance."

"Yes, I will withdraw if a specific agreement to form an investment company cannot be reached. Okay, goodbye."

Shirley Fleming called very angrily when she learned the news in the tabloid. Song Ya revealed her bottom line as planned to avoid falling into a long-term entanglement with the other party. As Samuel said, Shirrifu Lemming is not the key person, she is not qualified to sit still at home and wait for her and Quincy Jones to compete for an offer. The one who truly has this qualification has always been Littleman.

"Report from Chicago."

Taraji handed a copy of the Chicago Sun to Song Ya, “The news spread before the building has been renovated.”

'APLUS invested tens of millions and purchased the entire commercial real estate in Chicago.'

'As a Chicagoan, I should be very familiar with the second-hand stores and The two songs that were played in the streets and alleys last year. These two songs are from a 17-year-old African-American boy born in the South City, APLUS. For several singles, he scored 30 million dollars in his pocket last year, becoming a person who even the billionaires dare not easily compete for cash flow.'

'This young man who is highly optimistic about the pop music circle also has a very efficient investment team. The commercial property was purchased by the Barn Chemical Company, which is in the quagmire of the spin-off. According to an insider, this is a very good time to write. Sophisticated business investment.'

'APLUS seems to be preparing to use the entire building as the headquarters of its A+ Records company and do a big job... The Chicago headhunting company has received a recruitment request from A+ Records, and it is expected that the number of A+ Records employees will reach 30 in the future. .'

The Chicago Sun is not the Sun, the famous gossip newspaper under News Corporation, let alone a tabloid. It has some very famous columns, such as film critic Roger Albert, and it has its own column in the newspaper, which is a Hollywood movie. One of the weather vanes, every film review will be reproduced on a large scale throughout the country.

"Now all Mi knows that you are rich."

Taraji said, "Since this report came out, my work phone has been harassed by various salespeople..." She held her hand to her ear, imitating the voice on the other end of the phone,'Hello, can you ask Ask Mr. APLUS, do you need a yacht?Is a private jet needed?Do you need a manor house in Highland Park?Beverly Hills Villa?The highest credit card?Low-interest loans?Special services for third-rate models?'

Song Ya shook his head and smiled, "The trouble of the capital world's happiness, right?"

"Do you know? There are stockbrokers, fund managers, etc. who are asking me for dinner and flirting on the phone..."

Taraji put his hand on his hips again, with a gesture of flirting his eyes and shaking his ass, "But I rejected them all."

"Are you trying to get praise from me? Taraji, I just gave you a salary increase."

Song Ya was not tempted. He just wanted to get Amerika Music Magazine as soon as possible. He had to get what he wanted, whether it was a woman or something.

"Oh!" Taraji gave up with a sigh, and sat next to Song Ya, "I heard from the owner downstairs that the property in this building has appreciated slightly because of you.

"Oh?" Song Ya really didn't pay attention. "Then let Yeremov choose the right time to make a statement to clarify the relationship."

"OK, I took it down." Taraji took out the notepad and wrote it down, "Also, the Chinese Street restaurant you've been to also posted the photo of you and Mariah Carey when they dine in the most eye-catching spot in the store. It's right next to the leader's family."

"Okay, okay, I know... can we not talk about this?" Song Ya raised his hand and surrendered.

The phone in Taraji's bag rang, "APLUS, Quincy Jones is moving!" Hayden said loudly.

'Why is a magazine that has long since disappeared being viewed by investors in both circles?'

In the entertainment news of the local New York TV station, the host was talking eloquently, "Following APLUS made it clear that it was trying to acquire Amerika Music Magazine, DefJam Records owner Russell Simmons also revealed similar intentions in an interview this morning. He said: ' This long-established magazine will become a model for the integration of classical music and hip-hop music.' He told reporters on this station that the new media company formed by him and Quincy Jones is in a leading position in the acquisition..."

"So, Quincy Jones still doesn't want to play with me, right?" Song Ya turned off the TV, her face a little gloomy.

"In etiquette, you should call Quincy Jones."

Hayden said: "Since the other party has accepted the move, you can no longer pretend to be stupid. You must say something clearly."

"Well, Taraji."

Song Ya asked Taraji to call Quincy Jones, "Hey, Mr. Jones, what's going on? Regarding Amerika Music, you and Russell Simmons..."

"Damn it, did he say something to the media?"

Quincy Jones put himself aside, "This is the APLUS, Russell Simmons has long been eyeing that magazine. I really like his idea of ​​incorporating hip-hop music into this magazine, a white music magazine with a century of history. Falling into the hands of black people, this news alone will be cool, isn't it?"

Song Ya took a sip in his heart, and had been eyeing it earlier. Why didn't you see you when ABC sold?"So, what should I do, Mr. Jones, I don't want the white tycoon Henry Literman to take advantage of the bidding between us. Maybe you can bring me? I have Shirley Fleming's support."

"Ms. Fleming? We have a good relationship with her."

Quincy Jones said: "Let's do it, Russell Simmons is in charge, you need his consent, I will help you speak APLUS."

"Well, I will contact Mr. Simmons."

Song Ya asked him to come to Russell Simmons' personal phone number, and called.

"No problem with APLUS, you can wait until the second round to participate, and we will give you some shares, a friendly price." Russell Simmons's statement is very direct, you first withdraw from the bid, and wait until we buy the magazine first.

"WTF! What the hell is the second round!?" Song Ya couldn't accept this condition at all, and directly exploded, "I first read Mr. Simmons from this magazine, so I don't want to wait for the second round, and it's not. Venture capital..."

"Hey, keep your mouth clean, young man, relying on Motula's negligence, fortunately earned more than he deserved from Sony Columbia's fingers, so he thinks he can do everything, right? APLUS?"

Russell Simmons also turned his face immediately, "We have a big plan for this magazine. It will become an iconic book of black music in the future, and it will not fall into your hands and become a nondescript mixed garbage. You want to be with Shirley Fry Is Ming teaming right? Guess, how did I know your naive plans for gossip news and classical music?"

"You don't think I'll just hold back, do you? Mr. Simmons?"

Song Yacai is not afraid of him. DefJam Records and Russell Simmons have a high status in the history of hip-hop music, but the business situation is not very good now, and half of the company’s shares were bought as early as the Columbia Records era and now belong to Sony Columbia Records. , The distribution right is also.At this point, they have no comparison with the autonomy of A+ records, which only sold the distribution rights for five years.

"Whatever you want." Simmons hung up.

"Damn Nger!" Song Ya cursed into the microphone.

"War is declared?" Taraji whispered to himself.
