Li Lin's albums continue to sell well, but the attention of the American media is no longer on this, and they are all paying attention to Avril and Sony.

The one at the fan meeting confirmed that they were not hype, but they were real.

Subsequently, Avril Lavril was not participating in any activities, and the media asked her agent, who also said that Avril had a cold and was not suitable to meet with the media for the time being.

Cold?

They didn't believe it.

The media is not stupid, just made that scene, and in the blink of an eye, I caught a cold, who would believe it? Since they can't see Avril, they will use their abilities to create zào news.

"Avril is suspected of being placed under house arrest."

"American Magazine" photoshopped a picture of Avril being tied up with a rope, "At the fan meeting, Avril suddenly said, 'I had a very unpleasant time at Sony', and this sentence caused a shock among the fans at the scene, and before Avril could continue to speak, her agent had already dragged her away." ”

"Before leaving, she just had to say, 'They're going to destroy me.'"

Does this sentence sound familiar? That's right, that's what MJ once said, and the original phrase was 'they're going to ruin my album'. ”

"And the object, it's Sony, too."

"After the MJ incident, Avril Lavigne was treated like Sony again, and we can't help but wonder if Sony, a Japanese company, treats Americans as human beings."

And after the fan meeting, Avril was no longer active. It is difficult for any reporter to meet her, and from her agent, it is clear that Avril is undoubtedly under house arrest. ”

"Once again, our magazine is calling out the police in the United States. But looking for Avril, as taxpayers, we have the right to demand that you protect the personal safety of every American citizen. ”

The words of "American Magazine" were like stabbing Sony with a knife.

Everyone knows that Sony has been boycotted again and again, and its Japanese-funded identity is hostile to many American companies.

On the record industry. Sony's enemies include Universal Records, etc., and in the film industry, Sony's enemies are even more numerous. Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., Disney and other studios regard him as a great enemy, and have teamed up to encircle Sony several times.

In the game console business, Sony has also encountered a strong challenge from Microsoft, as for computers. HP, Dell. Completely ignoring Sony, and in the field of mobile phones, Nokia and a series of other old mobile phone manufacturers have suppressed Sony to the point where it is difficult to raise its head.

It can be said that Sony's enemies are everywhere, but its friends are pitifully few and in a very disadvantageous position.

This time, "American Magazine" attacked Sony on the grounds of Avril. It was endorsed by almost the entire American media.

"Sony, time and again, has challenged the bottom line of tolerance among the American people. We can't tolerate it anymore. ”

"Get the hell out of America."

"Sonny fuck off, give Avril back to us."

On the Internet of the American people, many fans even formed a demonstration group, like the US government to protest against Sony's actions, and even many fans who do not belong to Avril but belong to MJ also joined in.

The hatred between MJ's fans and Sony goes back a long way, and they love to see Sony get deflated.

After the demonstrations, the U.S. government finally couldn't sit still, and they sent people to tell Sony, that they had to give an explanation to the people, and Sony's people had to stand up and explain.

They held a press conference and invited a lot of media to attend.

"We didn't imprison Miss Avril, Miss Avril did have a cold, not as the media said, we were imprisoned, and for this, we will sue the media for spreading rumors and slandering us."

"Also, I'm sorry about what Miss Avril said at the fan meeting because she misunderstood what we meant."

"Miss Avril felt that we were ruining her album by dividing it up, but the opposite happened, we were just following the most basic commercial principles to organize and define her musical style."

When Sony's spokesperson spoke, he didn't forget to pull other record companies over to bear the pressure, "Actually, not only us, but also record companies like Universal Music and EMI Records, will also sort out and define their singers." ”

"Our disagreement with Miss Avril is only over the album, but if Miss Avril insists on going her own way, we will respect Miss Avril's decision."

"So where is she now? Can you come out and say a few words to us? A reporter asked.

"I'm sorry, Miss Avril has a cold, and it's not convenient for her to meet right now." A Sony spokesperson replied that he also wanted Avril to stand up and speak, and as long as Avril stood up and spoken, all the rumors would be self-defeating, but not now.

They just said that Avril had a cold, and they didn't see the media for the time being, and they pulled Avril out the next moment.

Avril can come out, but only a few days later, and by that time, they can say that Avril's cold has healed and that the turmoil has passed.

But just as they held a press conference to explain to the public, Avril had already met with Li Lin.

They met at Avril's villa.

This is private territory, and no one wants to enter without her permission.

"I've wanted to see you for a long time." Avril got up and poured Li Lin a glass of water, "Your music is very good, I wonder why there is no punk music in your songs?" I'd love to talk to you about punk. ”

"I may join next time, as for the exchange, I won't be ugly at that level." Li Lin was embarrassed in his heart, and discussed punk with the punk princess, what else can he do besides being conquered?

Whether in his past life or in this life, he doesn't know much about punk, and talking about punk music with professionals like punk princesses reveals his stuff in minutes.

"And I'm here to ask you for your cooperation."

Li Lin changed the topic, "I know that you are not doing very well at Sony, Sony is domineering and pursues the maximization of interests, and this qiē conflicts with your strict concept." ”

"In the early days, this kind of conflict may not be very strict, but as Sony values you more and more, their shackles on you will become bigger and bigger, and if you want to get rid of it, it is impossible to fight hard, and only by jumping out can you get rid of Sony."

"You're telling me to change jobs?"

Avril looked at Li Lin with a smile, "American record companies have a virtue, and my agent sued me that no matter which company I jump to, my concept is destined to be impossible to achieve." ”

"But that doesn't include your own record label." Li Lin said unhurriedly.

"Own record company?"

Avril was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "You also think I can start a record company myself?" ”

She had long wanted to start a record label.

Starting her own company, making her own music, thoroughly implementing her own music concept, and making the music she wants to make is her heart's idea.

But......

Avril took two steps, looking a little anxious, "Is it okay to start your own record company?" ”

Singers and record companies are two different things, and if you rashly set foot in another field, you are very likely to lose all your money, or even accompany yourself into it.

American shopping malls have always eaten people without spitting out bones.

"So we need the help of capital and human resources." Li Lin tapped on the table, "I can provide these." ”

Avril calmed down, she looked at Li Lin and asked, "What do you need?" ”

"Seventy percent of the company's equity, I will provide you with at least 20 million funds, in addition, I will send some staff to help you form the company structure."

"As for you, you can get 15 percent of the company's equity, and the remaining 15 percent will be given to the company's top management."

"Of course, in the company, you have the absolute right, and we will not interfere with your control of the company until the company does not have obvious losses, which can be written into the contract."

This is the practice of the vast majority of funds.

After investing, most funds will not do anything other than send a finance team to monitor the company's capital operations and send people to the board of directors.

They all had similar agreements with the founders.

Like Microsoft, Bill. Gates only has about 20 percent of the shares, but he still has a firm grip on Microsoft's power, and even when Xbox 360 is losing a lot of money, he can defy public opinion, ignore the will of the board of directors, and forcibly continue Xbox 360.

Of course, this does not mean that the power of the company is necessarily in the hands of the founder.

When the founder of a company is leading the company astray, the funds may also take a tough approach and knock the founder out of the way.

For example, Jobs, although Jobs was the founder of Apple, and even he brought Apple to glory, he was once kicked out of Apple, although he finally returned to Apple and brought Apple to the point of glory, but this still does not change the fact that he was kicked out of the company by the company that he created with his own hands.

That's why there was a series of follow-up 'suppression' of Apple's stock price.

His goal was simple, to buy back the shares and then take control of the company himself, but until his death, he did not achieve his goal.

"There is too little money, and 20 million dollars is at most to form a small record label in the United States." Avril shook her head.

"Do you want to start a big record label?" Li Lin asked rhetorically, "I don't understand the operation of the company and you don't understand the operation of the company, do you think we can support a large company?" ”

Avril blushed and was slightly embarrassed. (To be continued......)
