"If I were the owner of the record company, I would have fought Motura, but unfortunately, Geffen Records is no longer mine."

Talking about business, David Geffen also made it clear that he had no intention of entering the market, "The two British invasions (British rock music began to be sold worldwide in the sixties) gave birth to a large number of powerful British companies, and then the book entered again, and that nasty replayable cassette, the competition in the record industry is too fierce, and the law and industry atmosphere are becoming more and more unfriendly to record companies, I understand Motura very well, and he is not easy." ”

"That's it......" Song Ya's expectations were disappointed again.

"You still have a lot of influence in the record industry." Sandy Glenn seemed to be a little tighter than Songya, "Why do you want to put all your cards on Hollywood?" I've heard that you've been getting close to Spielberg lately. ”

"You still owe some experience, APLUS." David Geffen didn't respond to him and asked Song Ya, "Have you studied game theory?" ”

"Not yet." Song Ya replied.

"You and your team are thinking too much about things and putting all potential buyers on the underdog side of the game." David Geffen said, "Let me deduce, like, I made a price to Motula for you, and then what? I'm going to bear the wrath of Motula, and you're going to take my offer and ask people around and try to get better terms, right? ”

"Uh......" Song Ya really thought, "Pretty much, but I'm not a cold-blooded businessman through and through, I'm very friendly." He pleaded.

"Business is business."

Song Ya heard this sentence again, how much do the people of the United States love this sentence!

David Geffen didn't have much time left for Song Ya, and as soon as the half hour arrived, a secretary came to remind him that the predators in the entertainment industry are usually very busy, and the life that is far from the rumors outside is simply to enjoy pleasure and pleasure.

However, Song Ya feels that he has benefited a lot from the simple conversation between the two sides, potential buyers, indeed, this concept corresponds to all other record labels except Sony Columbia Records, they are all potential buyers, but the reason why potential buyers are reluctant to jump on the stage is not that they are not interested in themselves, and I want to know, who would not be interested in a genius creator like themselves?

And it is true that he is in a situation where he is too vulnerable to them, although it seems that he is going around to 'beg' them for help......

Daniel, MJ, Quincy Jones, David Geffen and even the book, as well as those record companies who know and don't know, who wants to risk being used as a springboard for themselves to be the first to challenge Motura? They might as well take this opportunity to trick themselves and Motula, which is much less risky than investing in the previous game!

He felt his confidence recover from the severe blow, "Listen. He went back to join up with the three of Hayden, "I don't want to go around like this anymore, I'm going to save myself." ”

"How?" The three of them glanced at each other.

"I want you to settle the outstanding accounts of Sony Columbia Records as soon as possible, as well as the expected future revenue, and then evaluate the losses I can afford, formulate several response plans, and make an offer."

"What offer?" Hayden asked.

"I made an offer for myself." "I'm going to make this offer public to everyone, and then I'm going to have someone come to me, whether it's Daniel, Quincy Jones, or even Motula!" Whoever is the first to match the offer will get me! Risk, return, all in one shot! ”

"Uh, can you elaborate on that?"

Yeremov was still a little confused, but Hamlin generally understood, "This offer can't be made by Song Asheng as an accountant, you need to sign a big accounting firm, and it has to be transnational." ”

"I understand."

Just as Goodman gradually became unable to keep up with the development of his own business on his own, it was time to break up his own accounting affairs.

This time, Song Asheng did not have the good luck of Goodman, and he had time to calmly upgrade the law firm, so Song Ya and others rushed back to Chicago and began to negotiate with Song Asheng to divide the business.

"You also said that the accountant I trust the most, continues to handle my private business and tax returns, but the record business side ......"

Business is business, Song Ya is not embarrassed, and he spoke generously to Song Asheng.

"I know, I know."

Song Asheng also expected this day, "The last time I settled the overseas sales revenue to Deklerk with SBK, I felt powerless, your choice is very correct, boss." ”

He said this, which made Song Ya feel a lot more comfortable, "Okay, the question now is, which one are we looking for?" ”

He was short on time and didn't have much room to take his picks and whistles, and soon he met Samurdi Piasa, the principal partner of Coopers in Chicago, at the A+ Records office.

"I'VE HEARD PEOPLE TALK ABOUT YOU, APLUS."

This business elite, who looks a bit like the middle-aged version of the white-headed detective actor, attaches great importance to Song Ya as a potential customer, and personally visits him, and he comes up to build a relationship, "We talked to the boss of Barn Chemical, and he admires you very much." ”

"Old Barn? I haven't seen him in a while, what's the state of his company now? All I know is that he and AW Investments are spinning off the chemical plant. ”

"Hehe, I'm burnt out." Samuel smiled, "What do you need here?" I'd like to hear it first. ”

"Okay, I'd like to spin off my accounting for the record direction, mainly my A+ record label and A+ investment and rights management company."

"Okay, we will calculate according to your company's annual turnover, total assets, net assets, etc., and charge a certain percentage, this is the formula, which applies to a record company like yours." Samuel distributed the relevant documents to Hamlin, Song Asheng and others.

This kind of big accounting firm has its own standard for fees, at most shop around, but there is little room for internal bargaining.

Since he chose Coopers Firm, Song Ya must have already compared the price, and he also took a fancy to the other party's British background, although their business in the United States is very large, but it is not deeply involved with Motura and the book.

"I agree." Song Ya didn't want to be verbose.

"And then this is the cost of the man-hours we audit, according to the standard, it is 500 dollars per hour at the partner level and above, and the intern will be much cheaper......"

The corners of Song Ya's mouth twitched, "It's okay." He gritted his teeth in agreement.

"So are we going to put this to work?" Even Samuel himself didn't expect the business to go so smoothly, and he spread his hands and happily propped himself up on the table.

"Yes, my needs are ......"

Song Ya motioned to Song Ah Sheng and Hamlin, and they took out all the contracts signed by Song Ya and Sony Columbia Records, and piled them up in front of Samur, "Calculate the revenue that Sony Columbia Records should pay to me and my company on all single releases, including overseas earnings." Calculate the various financial consequences of the breach of contract by the other party, or the new contract that I match with Motura, as well as the various financial consequences of the other party's breach of contract, or the other party's de facto breach of contract, as well as related legal actions. ”

Samuel's face became solemn, and he flipped through the contracts one by one, "Do you want to turn against Sony Columbia Records?" ”

"I don't just want you to calculate the best offer for me, for my own offer, for other record labels. Whoever matches this offer will be able to make a profit, and of course, they can't make too much money, and they must reach a win-win situation with me. Song Ya said.

"Have you ever thought that when my people and I are stationed at Sony Columbia Records, the other party will start to deal with you, can you carry it smoothly?" Samuel is keenly aware of the risks, "Is your other asset allocation healthy?" I don't mean what is reported on the news, and I don't want you to go bankrupt before we get paid from you. ”

"Don't think of me as one of those stupid X entertainment stars, I'm definitely not going to be beaten down by Motura."

"OK, let's sign a contract."
