Chapter 227: Declaration of War

"Tell me clearly, Ms. Fleming, I didn't do what I agreed, but I don't think there's anything to be angry about, and the sooner the news is announced, the better it will be for us......"

"Calm down, please calm down, I visited you last year, I said I wanted to get your magazine, but what about you? First told me about the big truth of high society, and then personally gave the magazine to Littleman, I respect you, did not participate in the bidding, so today if we want to buy this magazine back, we need to pay more money...... Do you think it's fair to me that Littleman's kind of magazine destroyer can still make a profit? ”

"I'm seventeen years old, I come from a slum, and I don't have a good grasp of the scale of this multi-party game, so let's make it simpler, my lawyers and accountants will bring better terms than I promised last night, and negotiate with your personal adviser once, just once, there will be no second chance."

"Yes, if I can't reach a specific agreement to form an investment company, I'll quit, okay, goodbye."

Shirley Fleming called very angrily after learning the news in the tabloids, Song Ya showed her bottom line as planned to avoid falling into a long entanglement with the other party, as Samuel said, Shirley Fleming is not a key person, she is not qualified to sit at home and wait for herself and Quincy Jones to compete for an offer, and it has always been Littleman who is really qualified.

"Report from Chicago."

Tarraghi handed a copy of the Chicago Sun to Songya, "The building hasn't even started to be renovated before the news gets out. ”

APLUS spent tens of millions of dollars to buy an entire floor of commercial real estate in Chicago. ’

As a Chicagoan, you should be very familiar with the two songs of second-hand stores and Remember The Name that were played on the streets and alleys last year, and these are all from a seventeen-year-old African-American boy from the South City District, APLUS, who only relied on a few popular singles to make 30 million dollars in his pocket last year, becoming a person that even billionaires dare not easily compete for cash flow. ’

The popular teenager also has a very efficient investment team, and the commercial property was bought by the miraculous Bath Chemical Company, which is a very well-timed business investment, according to insiders. ’

APLUS seems ready to use the entire floor as the headquarters of its A+ labels...... Chicago-based headhunters have received requests from A+ Records, and the number of employees expected to reach 30 in the coming year. ’

The Chicago Sun is not the famous gossip newspaper of News Corporation, the Sun, and it is not a tabloid, it has some very famous columns, such as film critic Roger Albert, who has his own column in the newspaper, which is one of the vanes of Hollywood movies, and every film review will be widely reprinted by the whole meter.

"Now Quanmi knows you're rich."

"Since this story came out, I've been harassed by all sorts of salespeople on my work phone...... "She put her hand to her ear, mimicking the voice on the other end of the phone, 'Hello, can you ask Mr. APLUS, do you need a yacht?' Do Private Jets Require It? Do you need a manor house in Highland Park? Beverly Hills Villas? The highest tier of credit cards? Low-interest loans? A special service for a third-rate model? ’

Song Ya shook her head and smiled, "The troubles of happiness in the capital world, right?" ”

"You know what? There are also stockbrokers, fund managers and other things who ask me to dinner on the phone and flirt with ......"

Taragi struck the pose of shaking his ass with one hand on his waist again, "but I refused." ”

"Do you want to get compliments from me? Taragi, I just gave you a raise. ”

Song Ya was not tempted, he just wanted to get the American music magazine as soon as possible, and he had to get what he wanted, whether it was a woman or something else.

"Alas!" Taragi sighed and gave up, and sat down next to Song Ya, "I heard from the owners downstairs that the properties in this building have appreciated slightly because of you, and the owners of the building love you to death. Have you noticed? On the corner of the opposite street, a new boutique has opened called Alexander PLUS, which is clearly to make you famous. ”

"Oh?" Song Ya really didn't pay attention, "Then let Yeremov pick the right time to make a statement and clear up the relationship." ”

"OK, I made a note of it." Taraghi took out his notepad and wrote it down, "Also, the Chinatown restaurant you went to also posted a photo of you and Mariah Carey dining in the most prominent position in the store, right next to the Grand Commander's family. ”

"Okay, okay, I know it all...... Can we leave that out of that? Song Ya raised his hand in surrender.

The phone in Taraghi's bag rang, "APLUS, there's movement over there at Quincy Jones!" Hayden exclaimed.

'Why is a magazine that has long disappeared being seen by two groups of investors in the circle at the same time? ’

"Following APLUS's clear attempt to acquire America Music Magazine, Def Jam owner Russell Simmons revealed similar intentions in an interview this morning, saying: 'This historic magazine is going to be a model for the fusion of classical and hip-hop,' and he told this reporter that he and Quincy Jones are leading the ......way in acquisitions."

"So, Quincy Jones still doesn't want to play with me, right?" Song Ya turned off the TV, her face a little gloomy.

"Courtesy, it's time for you to call Quincy Jones."

Hayden said: "Now that the other party has taken the offer, you can't pretend to be stupid anymore, and there are some things that need to be said that must be made clear." ”

"Alright, Taraghi."

Song Ya asked Taraghi to call Quincy Jones, "Hey, Mr. Jones, what's going on?" About America Music, You and Russell Simmons ......"

"Damn, did he say anything to the media?"

Quincy Jones brushed himself off, "That's the APLUS, Russell Simmons had his eye on that magazine, and I really liked the idea of him incorporating hip-hop music into this magazine, and a 100-year-old white music magazine fell into the hands of blacks, and this news alone would be cool, wouldn't it?" ”

Song Ya secretly sighed in her heart, she had already stared at it, why didn't you see you when ABC was selling? "So, what am I going to do, Mr. Jones, I don't want to bid between us or something to take advantage of that white man Latman, maybe, you can take me? I have Shirley Fleming's support on my side. ”

"Ms. Fleming? We also have a good relationship with her. ”

Quincy Jones said, "Well, it's Russell Simmons who calls the shots, you need his consent, and I'll help you speak for APLUS." ”

"Well, I'll get in touch with Mr. Simmons."

Song Ya asked him if he wanted to come to Russell Simmons' personal phone and called.

"No problem APLUS, you can wait until the second round to participate, we will give you some shares, friendly price." Russell Simmons's statement is very direct, you exit the auction first, and wait until we buy the magazine first.

“WTF! What the hell is the second round!? This condition Song Ya couldn't accept it at all, and directly burst into foul language, "I'll take a fancy to Mr. Simmons of this magazine first, so I don't have to wait for any second round, and this is not a venture capital ......"

"HEY, KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLEAN, YOUNG MAN, RELYING ON MOTURA'S NEGLIGENCE, LUCKILY EARNED MORE THAN HE DESERVED FROM SONNY COLOMBIA'S FINGERS, SO HE THINKS HE CAN DO ANYTHING, RIGHT?"

Russell Simmons also immediately turned his face, "We have big plans for this magazine, and it will become an iconic reading of black music in the future, and it will not fall into your hands and become a nondescript mixed garbage." You want to join forces with Shirley Fleming, right? Guess how I know about your childish plans for gossip and classical music? ”

"You don't think I'm going to back down, do you? Mr. Simmons? ”

Song Yacai is not afraid of him, Def Jam Records and Russell Simmons have a high status in the history of hip-hop music, but they are not doing very well now, and half of the shares of this company were bought back in the Columbia Records era, and now it belongs to Sony Columbia Records, and the distribution rights are too. In this respect, they are not comparable to the autonomy of A+ Records, which has only sold its distribution rights for five years.

"Whatever you want." Simmons hung up the phone.

"Damn NGer!" Song Ya scolded into the microphone.

"War has been declared, huh?" Taragi whispered to himself.
