Chicago 1990

Chapter 638: Resale Price Maintenance

"Fxxkyou! Daniel!"

When the two really met, Song Ya completely changed his face. He was furious. Even Mariah Carey was ignoring the corners of his clothes. He sprayed dirty on Daniel, "I asked you before. Will there be any problem with the records in Target, Pleasant and Best Buy stores that are discounted at nominal prices but actually maintain the original price? What are you vowing to answer me? No!?"

"Calm down, APLUS, I remember what I said at the time: There is no way..."

Daniel looked at the other dinner guests in the distance and lowered his voice, "I needed a good financial report last year to gain the trust of Sony headquarters, otherwise I can't deal with the people who are loyal to Motortura in Sony Columbia Records. You two are also good, don’t blame me when things come! And the six major things are doing it, and it’s found out that it’s everyone’s common trouble. Don’t be too nervous."

"I don't need to be too nervous?"

Song Yawei was really outraged. "The investigation report just released by the Federal Trade Commission stated that you, on behalf of Sony Columbia Records, led the organization of a common price alliance with EMI, Warner, BMG, Universal and other large and medium-sized distribution companies, and strictly required major chain stores Maintain the price of the CD, otherwise it will be punished like stock out? They say this involves the RPM (resale price maintenance) in monopolistic behavior! The total fine may be as high as billions of dollars! Doug Morris suddenly resigned and this Is it related? Absolutely!"

"I know I know, but now this has happened, what use are you getting angry with me?"

Daniel became angry, "I blame Motula for putting too much pressure on me. I knew I shouldn't have taken over this mess!"

"It's a mess!? I helped you take the position of the six presidents, and it is Sony Columbia Records that is very well run in the hands of Motula!"

Song Ya was pissed off by him. Before, he only knew that there was a difference in ability between him and Motula, but it was not that big. Now it seems that the difference is far, too far."Polygram is not on the list. They may have reached a deal with the Federal Trade Commission as taint witnesses. In this way, the Federal Trade Commission should already have sufficient evidence in its hands? And Target, Pleasant, Best Buy They must have exerted a lot of strength from it, and you have troubled Daniel."

"APLUS is not as serious as you think. This kind of lawsuit involving billions of dollars will definitely take many years. All the record companies under investigation except Polygram will inevitably join hands to deal with the lawsuit. It is not necessarily who wins and who wins... …Let’s talk over there."

Daniel smiled apologetically to the VIP who approached and wanted to say hello, and dragged the two to the small unmanned corner of the banquet hall, "I'm just a professional manager, and I don't need to lose money. You should understand this."

"Sony must be mad now. How long can you be a professional manager? They just kicked Gübel out."

Of course, Song Ya didn’t make such a big fire because of his distressed money. If Daniel is finished because of this, his most important line of defense against Motura will be gone. “Motura may have been celebrating with champagne, right? It was still a beautiful blow when he hit his own foot with a rock."

"Just a few words, okay? APLUS, or do you want to fight with me right now?"

Where can Daniel feel better? The only record company executive named in the Federal Trade Commission investigation report is him, "We still have to unite, don't you? Do you want to see me directly resign? Motura must be killed right away."

"Shxt! You are such a..."

Song Ya didn't expect this guy to start a hidden threat in his words, just about to point at the other person and curse, "Ah, my dear, I'm tired, should I go back to the hotel to rest?" Mariah Carey quickly took his raised hand , "Sorry, Daniel, he was so happy tonight, he just won two Grammy trophies, so he drank a little too much."

"It's okay..."

Daniel also eased the situation, "I don't deny that I have a great responsibility for this matter, but now our focus should be on solving the problem, rather than blaming each other."

"I think so, honey, let's go, go back, go back, good... Linda, helper."

Mariah Carey coaxed and pulled, and together with Linda, dragged the angry little fiance away from the banquet hall of the Grammy celebration dinner.

It hasn’t been long since Daniel came to the stage, and he was involved in such a big trouble. The rappers of the year and the Grammy trophies of the year’s best film and television song on the long table of Lincoln are not good. Song Ya said: " Daniel felt that the veteran singer Bennett was overwhelmed last year and chose not to renew his contract and let him be signed by Motula to a closely related small record label. This year Bennett suddenly became popular and his MTV channel sang unplugged. The album was nominated for the General Award of Album of the Year, and Daniel’s subsequent remedial attack failed... Bennett won the award in one fell swoop, and coupled with the Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust investigation, he has completely become a joke in the industry."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it. I haven't won a trophy this year. Think about it, are you balanced?"

Mariah Carey helped him untie Le Ren's bow tie, "Linda, soda."

"He is indeed incapable. Maybe I had too much influence on his adoration before I became famous. I would have changed personal support if I knew it. Now..."

Song Ya really drank a lot. He just won two Grammy Awards tonight. He learned the bad news only halfway through the celebration. He didn't control his emotions for a while, and now he kept murmuring himself holding the water glass.

"Go back to the hotel." Mariah Carey ordered old Mike.

"No, don't go to the hotel..."

Song Ya groggyly stopped him, "Mike, go to Malibu."

"Hurry up tonight? Don't go, your current state..." Mariah Carey persuaded.

"No, go and know, Linda, call Hayden."

Song Ya hugged her, "Sorry, dear, I used to blame you for shaking Daniel's face."

"I said that?"

Mariah Carey pouted proudly, "You can't be too polite to them."

"Well, you are right..."

"Of course, I have more life experience than you."

"Hey..."

Malibu was a little far away, and Jiu Jin was pouring up again, and Song Ya fell asleep unconsciously while chatting.

"what!"

Suddenly, she woke up in Mariah Carey's happy scream, opened her eyes, she had opened the door and got out of the car, and rushed to a large Florentine villa on the huge rock on the Almafi coast in Malibu, "Invincible sea view! Oh oh oh Is the beach below ours too?"

"Yes, Miss Kelly, there are two beaches on the left and right."

Hayden answered with a smile.

"Ah!"

She was so happy, she rushed back to the car, and the chick kissed Song Ya on the face like a peck of rice, "You are too romantic, my dear, you are so kind, I like it here!"

"What's here?" Song Ya shook his head, "Did I say anything before I fell asleep?"

"You let old Mike drive here." Linda smiled.

"Damn, I wanted to surprise you again before the wedding..."

Song Ya was dragged out of the car by him and took a deep breath of the sweet Pacific ocean breeze, "Hayden, the pick here is good."

"How much?" she asked.

"Give it to you, don't talk to me about money..." Song Ya smiled and pretended to be forced.

"This is the sunset platform. You can see the sunrise in this direction in the morning and the sunset over there in the evening."

Hayden began to walk around, "The porch and the interior are all in European classical style. The antique doors and all the wood carvings are from the court of a certain earthen king of Ahsan. The British looted there. The glass painting is all handmade. This sink is made by Europe. It’s transformed from a fountain sculpture. This sink is a giant shell, a real shell. Miss Kelly, you will know it..."

"Oh!"

She kept exclaiming contentedly.

"This is the largest terrace, with cliffs below and panoramic sea views. The atmosphere of hosting a party here is simply invincible..."

Finally, Hayden took them to a large terrace, "The former owner of the villa was..."

Song Ya and she didn't listen carefully. They hugged each other and leaned on a railing to look away. The bad mood caused by the bad news seemed to disappear.

"Ok……"

She tilted her head and suddenly asked, "Nothing has happened to me suddenly, have you done anything wrong?"

"It really destroys the atmosphere..."

Woman's instinct?Song Ya felt nervous, "Since you are so suspicious, I asked Hayden to return the house?"

"No!"
