Dile was called over, and Song Ya asked him to read the magazine report.

"I don't know, maybe you should ask Mr. Sun of C-CUBE? He invested more money than you, didn't he?" Dile suggested.

Song Ya glanced at him and nodded silently.

Based on Tianqi's investment, he has not made many of them through A+ Audio Company. After all, according to the three-year and five-year profitable equity incentive plan, Dilei will take up to 15% of this company.A+ Audio started its book profit through DTS's Series B financing in 1992. Then in the first phase of the award in 1995, Dile will be awarded 5% of the shares, and the profit will be 15% in 1997.

Therefore, for example, A+ Pedal Company, Barn Company, A+ Apparel, Palm, Wanyan, A+ Film Studio, Amerika Music Magazine, Louise Report and stocks, etc., he invested through his wholly-owned A+ Records and A+ copyrights. With asset management companies.

Although Dilei’s previous investment was to run errands, as the president of A+ Audio, he has to manage the synthetic sound copyright library and the three major stalls of DTS and American music websites. He has limited energy and is not very interested in business that has nothing to do with his own interests. normal.

Song Ya himself pays more attention to industries with clear managerial responsibility such as A+ Pedal Company, Barn Company, A+ Apparel, etc. The two pure venture capitals of Palm and Wan Yan are just in the blind spot of his and Dile’s perspective.

Now it is precisely these two companies that may lose money.

He felt that he should at least look like MJ, and find another lawyer to be responsible for staring at the two companies and his follow-up venture capital.

Of course, Sun Yansheng still has to contact him. He invested 3 million dollars and only accounted for 15% of the shares. The majority are him and Wanyan Electronics of China.

"I'm busy with C-CUBE listing on Nasdaq next year..."

Sun Yansheng explained the patent issues. Basically, it is difficult for this VCD player to apply for a patent in China. The key point is that it does not have its own technology. The VCD disc format is in the hands of companies such as Sony and Philips, as are the optical drives. Various decoding chips are divided up by companies such as C-CUBE and Texas Instruments, and even the appearance patent cannot bypass Sony's LD player many years ago.

"Lao Wan has no awareness of this aspect." He said: "The integration scheme is used to apply for patents at most, but it is too late. All prototypes have been bought by various companies for research, and related patents have been registered..."

Sun Yansheng is also very helpless. At this moment, he cannot offend the US and the capital behind C-CUBE, and he himself is also facing the risk of being marginalized in C-CUBE. The president of the company is not him. As the founder, after several rounds of financing The right to speak has also been greatly weakened, and it will only become even less present after going public next year.

"What should I do?" Song Ya asked.

“It’s no problem to produce and sell in China. We have a great first mover and capital advantage. We should not lose money. Now a machine can sell for 4,000 to 5,000 soft coins, and mass production will begin next year. But... …APLUS, I suggest you stay away from that company as well. It’s impossible for all the sources of this thing to be played from legal channels. We should try our best to keep a low profile so that others can’t feel our presence in that company.” He said .

"Ok."

Isn't it that you can't do anything?Feeling trapped again, Song Ya can only hope that his investment will not be lost now. Fortunately, he only invested three million dollars.

Thinking about going, he wrote a memo at school the next day, asking old Mike to drive to the Barn company after school.

"Where in China?" After reading the memo, the general manager of Barn Company said, "Chemical equipment and electronic products are under the management of their Mechanical and Electronic Industry Department, but I heard that this year is being split into the Machinery Industry Department and the Electronic Industry Department."

"Are you going?" Song Ya asked.

"Okay, no problem, let them take care of Wanyan Electronics, right?"

Of course, the general manager of Barn Company would not simply interpret the boss’s question as really asking for his own opinions.

Song Ya nodded.

After adding insurance to this matter, he put aside his hands, except for Goodman and Hamlin, there are few lawyers he can trust, and he will slowly look for someone who can help him manage venture capital.

Hamlin has taken the power of attorney and mission to find Daniel in New York, in return for his help in the position of president of Sony Columbia Records, and to drive away the thornhead Russell Simmons, plus the interests of future generations to hold shares, Daniel's actions Very quickly, within 24 hours, under the guidance of President Lyle Cohen, a total of 7.8% of the minority shareholders of DefJam Records fell into the hands of Song Ya's A+ Investment and Copyright Management Company.

The transaction price was slightly higher than Daniel's promise, 3.2.5 million.

Subsequently, Lyle Cohen convened the board of directors, and Hamlin represented Song Ya for the first time and began a showdown with Russell Simmons.

According to Hamlin’s description afterwards, Russell Simmons quickly fought back after a brief period of confusion. On the one hand, he refused to sell about 20% of his shares. He made a big disturbance in the board meeting and called Lyle Cohen a traitor. On the other hand, those with PolyGram began to win the support of other small and medium shareholders.

Daniel did not hesitate. He secretly ordered the removal of the albums of all the singers under DefJam, stop all announcements, and interrupted the transfer negotiations with PolyGram.

This kind of behavior harming the interests of Sony Columbia Records was naturally sued by Russell Simmons to Motula, but Motula is now lacking in skills. His Sony Entertainment has not yet started to officially operate, and MJ's case has also dragged him down. Great energy.

To some extent, it is estimated that he does not want to confront Song Yajia Daniel now. As the president of specific business affairs, Daniel is cleaning his team within the company. It is not easy to keep the positions of those people. He is completely On the defensive.

Russell Simmons and Polykin didn't give up. They had the same idea as Song Ya back then, and went to their capital to complain.

After Gao Shu was summoned several times, but Song Ya used the excuse of recuperating his voice to hide, he and Polykin’s negotiators went directly to Highland Park a few days later.

"APLUS, so now Sony Columbia Records has become a private playground for you and Daniel Glass?"

Polykin’s negotiator is a British, and he provokes him maliciously in front of Gao Shu.

"BullShxt!"

Song Ya continued to be immersed in the spiritual world of the hero of my life, half lying on the sofa, shooting back with short swear words.

The other party was not angry, just shrugged and turned his eyes to the tall tree.

"APLUS, you and Daniel are infringing on the interests of Sony Electronics." Since the last rebellion was successful, the relationship between Gao Shu and him has broken, and the two sides have no courtesy.

"Talk alone?" Song Ya replied.

He nodded, and the Polykind people had to go out first.

Song Ya took out the note written in advance and asked Linda to pass it to him.

It’s nothing, I just briefly explained the rationality of replacing the shares of Russell Simmons, who made DefJam huge losses for years. As for the specific price, it’s just a normal business method, as long as it doesn’t hurt Sony Columbia Records and Baobao. Li Jin's 50% transaction price is just fine.

On this point, Daniel has already given a guarantee, and he has also given his own guarantee.

"I agree with you, but you can't be so eager to sell your important labels as soon as you take power, and it's because you and Russell Simmons have a private grievance." Gao Shu said.

Just in time, Song Ya got up and angrily threw Wan Yan's VCD player and his indictment about the patent lawsuit for the integration scheme in the United States to Gao Shu. Of course, it was only preliminary.

"Uh……"

Gao Shu was also confused, "What does this Chinese company have to do with you?"

"Fifteen percent." Song Ya replied.

"You want to sue Sony? In the United States?" Gao Shu laughed.

Song Ya laid out DefJam's acquisition documents and the indictment side by side, lay down again, and gave him a look of his own choice.

"You can't win, it's... it's just... a whimsical thing." Gao Shu bounced a Japanese idiom.

"What?"

"Whimsical."

Song Ya pointed at her voice again and stopped talking.

Gao Shu was silent for ten seconds before picking out the acquisition document and handing it out to the person who came from PolyGram. He shook his head and signaled that he would leave it alone.

"APLUS, you are still young, who knows where your next singer contract will be? For singers of your level, apart from Sony Columbia Records, only five major record companies are your potential home bases. Is it necessary to make the relationship with us?" the other party persuaded.

Song Ya chased Lindanunu's mouth and asked her to answer.

"You don't need to run errands for Russell Simmons."

Linda said, "It's better for you to have DefJam in APLUS or Russell Simmons. It's not difficult to choose, isn't it?"

"So you promised to write songs for the singers of DefJam?" People from Polyking asked: "Instead of changing hands for a short period of time to make the difference? You and Daniel are working together to reduce the value of Russell Simmons' shares, and on the other Offer a high price! Maybe we should buy Russell Simmons's stock first, better than your offer."

"Then you won't get DefJam. Mr. Daniel Glass would rather sell it to other companies." Linda issued an ultimatum on behalf of Song Ya. "For you, buying those ten or twenty shares is totally meaningless. , If you really buy those shares from Russell Simmons, the albums of the singers under DefJam will not be released on PolyGram."

The shopping mall is like a battlefield. The game of bloodlessness is played in all dimensions. In order to establish prestige, Song Ya treats Russell Simmons very savagely and unreasonably in order to retaliate, but this cannot be done with Polygram.

As one of the six major record companies, the remaining 50% of PolyGram will definitely open up to the PolyGram Lion, and there will be no way for the monolithic management after buying it.

"You might as well cooperate with Mr. APLUS. Russell Simmons is already out of date. He is old and his personal interests are in the fashion industry and media. DefJam has caused huge losses for years. Mr. Lyle Cohen, President of DefJam, should I have expressed my attitude to you. And Mr. APLUS’s A+ record has won Fergie, and he has sold more records than DefJam last year.” Linda said.

"We are Poly Gold." The other party said.

Indeed, Polygram has its own confidence in saying this. They bought DefJam only to deploy the hip-hop music industry in the United States. This level of loss is completely affordable. If their resources enter, DefJam's situation will also improve.

Linda didn't know what to say, and looked at Song Ya.

"That's it!"

Song Ya was too lazy to talk to each other. Daniel and Lyle Cohen should have dealt with this kind of thing. They paid for it. Just now they played a hole card to cope with the high tree. There is no reason to be stupid like the time when Motura was driven away. One of the people jumped out to attract all the firepower.

He stood up and reached out his hand to the opponent.

"Goodbye, young man, I have to say that you have left a deep impression on me." The other party shook hands with him helplessly and left.

"What do you mean?" Song Ya asked Linda looking at the other person's back.

"I don't know, but I feel that you, who talk less, have become more domineering and unpredictable in the eyes of others." Linda replied.
