Avril was quick to agree.

She is not a girl who likes to control zhì, she cares more about making her favorite music, without anyone interfering.

"I promise." Avril said, "But I can't make it public yet, my contract is still in Alista's hands." ”

Avril Avril is the company that signed Avril Lavigne, but this company belongs to a Sony company.

Once she chooses to make this contract public, she will immediately be suppressed by Sony, and may even be required to compensate for sky-high liquidated damages.

"Under U.S. law, a contract may be voided if it harms the consumer." Li Lin said with a smile.

"And right now, Sony is not in a good position, and it has made a public outrage."

Avril pondered for a moment.

Who are the consumers of singers? Of course, it is the fans, Sony's unauthorized modification of her album and the forced split of the album have deeply hurt the interests of the fans.

What's more, now Sony is undergoing a nationwide crusade, and even the government is paying attention.

If she adds another fire, maybe the court can rule that her contract with Sony is invalid and forcibly terminate her contract with Sony.

"But ......."

Avril hesitated.

She tears up the contract between her and Sony, which will certainly set herself free, but it will also hit Alista, and whether Alista will be blamed by Sony as the one who signed her is something she needs to consider.

But when I think that I can tear up the contract with Sony, I can be free, and I can implement my own philosophy and make the music I want. She was a little wobbly again.

On the one hand, it is the grace of knowing each other, and on the other hand, it is free to create the music you like.

Soon, Avril's gaze was firm. "I'll look for opportunities during this time."

What chances?

Of course, it's a pit for Sony.

Didn't Sony explain that Avril was really sick? Didn't Sony say that the media is talking nonsense? She made trouble for Sony, made Sony tired of coping, and then took the opportunity to tear up her contract with Sony, even if she went to court, with the pressure of public opinion, she had a great chance of the court ruling her in favor.

"A lot of companies don't like Sony." Li Lin said mysteriously: "If you need help, you can contact Time Warner, they should provide you with some help." ”

Sony has many enemies. But who does Sony hate the most? Time Warner, of course.

When Sony first entered Hollywood, it was Time Warner who pitted Sony and almost buried Sony. Subsequently, Sony merged with MGM, and Time Warner came to stir up the situation again, even when Panasonic Group, another giant Japanese company stronger than Sony, was preparing to swallow Universal Pictures for tens of billions of dollars. Time Warner has teamed up with other Hollywood giants. Forcefully drove the Panasonic Group back.

It can be said that Time Warner is the first enemy of Japanese companies to enter Hollywood and dominate Hollywood.

Time Warner, on the other hand, is also wary of Sony and is hostile to all Japanese companies.

"I know." Avril smiled, took out a bottle of champagne from her wine cabinet, held it up and said to Li Lin, "Do you want a toast?" ”

"Looks like you've been suffocated all this time, poor boy." Li Lin looked at Avril sympathetically, "But just cheers." I have a book signing tomorrow, and I don't dare to drink at this time. Otherwise, I missed the time, and the executives of Universal Music would have to eat me alive. ”

"Just a bottle of champagne." Avril filled herself up, "But you're right, I've been suffocated lately, and I've been under a lot of pressure, and Sony's group of people are always talking about the company's position and music style in my ears, and my ears are calloused." ”

"Don't they know that what I want is not the market, but my own style of music?"

"But they want it, and that's your disagreement."

Li Lin smiled, "The interests of singers and companies are not always the same, unless singers can be bosses, but being their own bosses uh, singers end up becoming businessmen." ”

"Aren't you?" Avril asked curiously.

"I am and I am not." Li Lin said: "Although I opened a company and worked hard for the interests of the company, I also let the company work hard for my own singer career. ”

"You can understand that I'm looking for a balance, but fortunately, I'm doing well now, the company is thriving, the external debt ratio is low, and I don't have to worry about breaking the capital chain and going bankrupt."

"And a lot of investors are so optimistic about my company that I joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce not long ago and became a part of it."

American Chamber of Commerce!

Avril's gaze at Li Lin changed instantly.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a behemoth, and although its organizational structure is loose, any one of them can make a singer like her unable to eat and walk around.

Of course, its members are also carefully selected, and anyone who joins the U.S. Chamber of Commerce proves that it has enough potential.

Li Lin was able to join the American Chamber of Commerce, and he has proven his energy.

"I didn't expect you to be a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce."

Avril was slightly amazed, "No wonder the Wall Street Journal, which has never paid attention to the entertainment industry, spoke out to support you last time, when many people thought you would have trouble sleeping." ”

She was talking about the problem of the lack of a federation of labor and industry.

After the AFLF showed its ill will towards Li Lin, many people felt that Li Lin was dead, even if Li Lin won the battle with Sharon. Stone's lawsuit, many people also have a pessimistic attitude towards Li Lin.

But then, the Federation of Labor and Industry seemed to have flinched, and suddenly stopped dealing with Li Lin, which surprised many people who watched the show.

This is the first time that the AFLF has flinched, and it is still in the face of a small singer.

Now Avril knew what was going on.

It is true that the American Chamber of Commerce is only a loose organization, but the AFLF itself is also very loose, if it were not for this, the United States would have been the world of the AFL, and it would not have been the turn of the Wall Street consortium to remotely command here.

"Are the members of the American Chamber of Commerce awesome?" Li Lin asked suspiciously, he didn't feel anything, except for meeting with other American businessmen once when he joined the American Chamber of Commerce, attended a drinking party, and then paid the membership fee, he didn't contact the American Chamber of Commerce much after that.

So he didn't think the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was that powerful.

What's more, he was invited by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to join, and he didn't think the U.S. Chamber of Commerce had any threshold at all.

"The big businessmen in the United States are basically members of the American Chamber of Commerce, including the Wall Street consortium, so to speak, they are the masters of the United States." Avril gave Li Lin a blank look, "You said that the members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are not awesome. ”

"That's just the top, the real owner of the Wall Street consortium doesn't show his face, even at the reception where I joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, he just came as an agent." Li Lin shrugged, "And it's still the kind of secretary, not the president-level person." ”

There are also many types of surrogates.

The manager of the consortium is the agent, the secretary is also the agent, and the president is also the agent, but is the status of the secretary as higher than that of the manager? Of course not, it was the secretary who appeared above the reception.

"But only those who are favored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and feel that they have potential will be invited by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to join." Avril added: "Generally speaking, anyone who is favored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce basically has the potential to hit the market value of tens of billions of dollars. ”

"There is a saying in the United States: Anyone who is invited by the American Chamber of Commerce will eventually become a behemoth as long as they do not die."

"As long as you don't die?"

Li Lin asked suspiciously.

"Or do you think?" Avril shook Li Lin with a knife, "Don't you often say that shopping malls are like battlefields?" The slightest mistake will wipe them out. ”

"In the same way, a lot of potential companies are killed before they can grow."

"As a businessman, you don't even know this, do you?"

"Yes." Li Lin said: "But I thought you were talking about companies within the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that will swallow members." ”

Li Lin chuckled, "It seems that I am thinking too much." ”

"I can't say I think too much."

Avril lavigne pondered for a moment, and then said, "In fact, the struggle within the American Chamber of Commerce is very fierce, especially some funds, which have infiltrated the company quite strongly. ”

"Internet companies, like them, have almost been wiped out, whether it's Microsoft or Yahoo, they can't escape their infiltration."

"They can be seen in any listed Internet company."

The relationship between the entertainment industry and the business world has always been close, and many business things are not a secret in the entertainment industry.

"I'll take notice."

Li Lin got up and said goodbye, "Sony's press conference should be over, and then I estimate that many reporters will come to interview you, if someone sees me here, they may be cranky." ”

It's either a scandal or a secret.

Either way, it's a nuisance.

"I won't send you." Avril pulled back her hair and shook her head gently, "Looking forward to the day I work with you." ”

"It won't be too far."

……

At Sony's press conference, Sony's spokesperson repeatedly said that he did not imprison Avril, Avril just had a cold, and the conflict between them and Avril was all scribbled by the media.

But after the press conference, the reporters still flocked to Avril's villa to squat.

Because just now, they finally knew the location of Avril's villa.

However, what awaits them is a lifetime of apologies.

"I'm sorry."

Avril closed the door directly, "I've not been in a good mood lately, so I don't want to be interviewed by reporters." ”

They stared wide-eyed.

However, if a reporter is willing to listen to an artist, then the reporter is not a reporter.

Almost instantly, the noise rang out.

"Avril, are the rumors out there correct?"

"Avril, did you have a conflict with Sony? Sony is not imprisoning you. ”

"Avril, I heard that Sony suppressed your album, is it true?" (To be continued......)
