The scene of the celebration banquet---

For Song Zhichao---

"You are not just a clown, but also a hateful fellow! A Chinese, a Chinese businessman who only knows how to be opportunistic! In the eyes of us Japanese, you are just a Hong Kong guy who is a little clever and has taken shit luck! As for music, what do you know, the allusion of indiscriminate filling is given to him!" The vicious mocking voice echoed through the banquet scene.

Seeing that his boss was humiliated in public like this, Luo Bachen, Bi Wenfeng and Qi Wanda looked extremely ugly.

Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong were directly angry, stepped forward left and right, crossed Song Zhichao, and were about to meet each other.

Song Zhichao stretched out his hand to stop them, shook his head, looked at his opponent, and said nothing.

At this time, the group of people who suddenly broke in caused a commotion at the scene.

After all, this is Beverly Hills, and the person who initiated this celebration banquet is the famous Hollywood king Michael Jackson, who is so bold that he dares to trespass?

"Who are you, this is a private place, how can you break in?" Mike asked loudly without knowing the other party.

"Who am I?" the man with a short figure smiled proudly, and the person next to him replied, "This is Mr. Nakao Kimura, the president of our Sony headquarters in Los Angeles, and the one next to him is Mr. Steve, the CEO of Sony Entertainment in the United States." The Japanese man standing next to Nakao Kimura triumphantly introduced in English, "As for me, you can call me Tanaka-kun, and I am also one of the heads of Sony Electronics. ”

At this time, Steve, the president of Sony Entertainment with a big nose, spoke, emphasizing that he was very arrogant: "Dear Mike, you should know that we have Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Record Entertainment under Sony Entertainment, and it just so happens that our record company seems to have signed a long-term ---contract with you as a partner, how can we not come to your celebration this time?" After speaking, Steve, the big nose, clapped his hands, and saw the people around him carrying something forward, covered with a black curtain, half a person tall, and he didn't know what it was.

"This is Mr. Kimura's special gift from Japan to celebrate the success of Mike's concert--- Mike, open it and take a look!" Steve signaled, and before Mike could answer, someone had already stepped forward to help uncover the black cloth, only to see that it was a pair of "armor" from the Warring States period of Japan--- with a black body, a black iron mask, and devil's horns, which looked very hideous, but for many Americans, it felt full of power and mystery in the hideous.

"How about it, do you still like this gift? This is the black tiger armor used by the famous Japanese military general Takeda Shingen during the Warring States Period--- of course, it is a high imitation, and the real armor is our national treasure of Japan...... "Kimura Nakao said triumphantly, "but even if it is a replica armor, it is also precious, it represents invincibility, bravery and loyalty!"

Mike: "......"

He was a little overwhelmed by the sudden change.

You know, in the United States, Sony Entertainment is a super-powerful existence--- how huge is it? More than half of the Hollywood superstars on the scene have more or less cooperated with Sony, including Mike himself.

It can be said that no matter who offends Sony, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat in the future.

……

In the late 80s, after Sony Electronics lost a fiasco in the video recording competition, Akio Morita felt that it was necessary to combine the most high-end hardware with the most cutting-edge content in order to grasp the market. On September 25, 1989, under the leadership of Akio Morita, Japan's Sony spent a huge amount of $6 billion to acquire the Columbia Film and Music Division, which has the symbol of the torch and the unicorn, making it a subsidiary of Sony Electronics.

Under the background of time and space at that time, Japan's economy grew by a large margin and established its position as the world's second largest economy, while the US economy was declining and sluggish; due to Japan's defeat to the United States in World War II, many Japanese companies frantically acquired American companies for the sake of national pride, but many American companies were powerless to fight back. Among them, Japan's Mitsubishi Group bought the landmark Rockefeller Building in New York and Xinli Sony bought Columbia's Samsung Pictures at a sky-high price of $6 billion, creating Japan's largest overseas merger and acquisition at that time, which was regarded by Americans as a Japanese invasion of the United States. However, this acquisition was the largest in Japan's history, and it was once the company with the highest loss in Japan's history. In the late 1980s, a bubble economic crisis began to erupt in Japan, and Sony's motion picture business group also suffered losses for several years due to poor box office, which became a major obstacle to Sony's profitability at that time.

But even if it is Sony's biggest "money-losing goods", Sony Entertainment in the United States is still very good in Hollywood, among which the king Mike signed a ten-year contract with Sony Records, which also led to a huge conflict between Sony and Mike in the future, and finally became emaciated and died young.

……

It stands to reason that since Michael Jackson is a signed artist of Sony Records, he should have heard of President Steve, but in fact, most of Mike's signing is handled by his own agent, and Mike doesn't come forward much, so he is not too familiar with this Steve, but he knows the name, but he didn't expect that people would take the initiative to come to the door today and send a "gift" over.

Mike certainly understands what that means.

Sure enough, at this time, under the hint of Nakao Kimura, the big-nosed Steve smiled slightly and said coldly: "Oh, dear Mike, do you know what I meant by bravery and loyalty?

Obviously there is something to say.

"If you remember correctly, you Mike have a perennial agreement with us Sony Records, and your records, including the recordings of your concerts, must prioritize our Sony talents--- but in fact?" Steve stared at Mike Jackson with a slight sarcasm.

That's right, Mike is very popular and very good, but a contract is a contract, and no matter how popular you are, you must also act according to the contract.

Michael Jackson has been popular for so long, and he has never been sarcastically ridiculed like this--- let alone being so hard in front of so many people.

Seeing that Mike Jackson was extremely embarrassed, a voice said, "Can I stand up and say a few words?"

Steve is secretly cooling, can make the famous American King Mike so miserable, this kind of record, tomorrow is guaranteed to be in the headlines, I didn't expect someone to speak suddenly, so I didn't look back and said: "Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm the clown you just mentioned---" a voice said gently.
