Shirley Fleming is a failing businessman, when it comes to specific topics, her bottom line seems to have been quickly figured out by Song Ya, now she does not resist change, and she has experienced so many failures It is indeed impossible to do it, as long as she can 'save' the magazine from Litman's hands, her concessions will be very large.

For example, instead of pursuing a controlling stake, replacing magazine covers with pop stars, putting most of the length and color pages on content that young people like, appropriately adding gossip news, recalling only a few former magazine editors, greatly reducing costs, and putting content such as obituaries in an inconspicuous corner.

For the sake of Old Money's face, the editor-in-chief must still be her, but part of the power she can give to Song Ya's people.

"The front page of the inside page must cover a major event in the world of opera, musical theatre or classical music."

The conversation was basically done at Barenboy's car, and before saying goodbye, the old lady said, "There are still some old friends whose columns should be kept......"

"I see, Ms. Fleming, I'll take care of it, and my accountant suggested that we temporarily set up an investment company dedicated to acquisitions, and that the future rights and responsibilities be clarified in advance through legal documents." Song Ya doesn't want to tear up with a white old lady who has many friends in the music industry in the future, "Once this investment company is established, the media will publish relevant reports as soon as possible, is it okay?" ”

Shirley Fleming looked at Barenboy beside him, Barenboy thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Alright then, get your people in touch with my personal advisor as soon as possible." Shirley Fleming agreed.

Hayden handed the recovered tape to Barenboy, who held it in his hand and shook it at Song Ya with a smile, and got into the car with Shirley Fleming to leave.

"Let the people of Coopers follow Goodman to talk, just tomorrow, what the old woman just said may not count, the personal advisers of the old money will not be stupid, and let the financial newspaper we worked with last time reserve the news page in advance, we must spread the news as much as possible before Quincy Jones."

Song Ya called back the old Mike, who was on guard not far away, and the three of them returned to the car together.

"APLUS, I HAVE LONG SINCE GIVEN UP ADMIRING YOU IN WORDS, YOU ARE A NATURAL MUSICIAN AND BUSINESSMAN." Hayden smiled and shook his head and sighed, "What if Quincy Jones is willing to join instead?" He asked.

"Let's go into the bid, it's a lose-lose situation for us, and it's in Littleman's best interest, as long as Quincy Jones doesn't go too far......"

Song Ya said: "On the other hand, if there is no good price, Littleman will not necessarily sell, he has already completed the layoff and stop loss, and if there is no huge financial pressure, there is no need to rush to sell the sign of the American music magazine." Of course, the action of laying off employees and stopping losses shows that he is not completely free of financial pressure. ”

The next morning, Samuel's call came in.

"Is it okay to have the company's accountant based at Sony Columbia Records and Goodman go with Shirley Fleming? Okay, I only have one question for that. ”

Hayden had already explained yesterday's new developments to Samuel, and he asked: "The big names in the Chicago music scene are not completely devoid of each other, Hayden said that yesterday Shirley Fleming was next to Barenboy of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, have you ever wondered why he appeared at that time, that place?" Don't forget, Quincy Jones is also a Chicagoan. ”

"You mean, it's possible that Shirley Fleming, like Littleman, is trying to make a better bid between me and Quincy Jones?"

Song Ya was awakened by the words, he probably still thought that Shirley Fleming and Barenboy were too simple, and he remembered that yesterday Shirley Fleming would ask Barenboy for permission before agreeing to some conditions.

"Yes, it's quite possible, Quincy Jones has a better relationship with her, isn't it? Quincy Jones wants to buy that magazine, and has a good incentive to put you away, but there's no reason not to even say hello to Shirley Fleming beforehand. Quincy Jones has been in the music industry for many years, and she won't be so stupid to offend Shirley Fleming and her friends. Samuel analysis.

"Shirley Fleming shouldn't value money, she must have something else to value besides having to regain the editor-in-chief position and face that Littman had played a trick on. I know. ”

Song Ya smiled bitterly, "She is still unwilling to be a puppet editor-in-chief, whoever can give him back more power will cooperate with whomever she wants, the conditions she promised me yesterday are all temptations." Actually, Quincy Jones and I are already bidding now. ”

"You have an out-of-age sense of smell APLUS, what's next for you?" Samur's Guided Questions.

"Quincy Jones, a long-established black musician and record label owner, is about the same as Russell Simmons, a partner in the acquisition scheme, who are not band together to go shopping aimlessly. Buying a magazine that has nothing but a long history and a good name must have their specific, long-term ambitions and business ideas, and they are not necessarily more tolerant of Shirley Fleming's old brains than I am. And for Shirley Fleming, facing them is more vulnerable than facing me, and it is better to cooperate with them than with me. ”

Song Ya thought things more thoroughly, "So, I don't necessarily lag behind them in the competition against Shirley Fleming. ”

"Mind you, it's Littleman, not Shirley Fleming, who is going to sell the magazine to, so she shouldn't be a worthy of a lot of money." Samuel asked, "What do you think of Quincy Jones on them?" ”

"Finance, I'm definitely not as rich as those two people, and then, in terms of public opinion, if I cooperate with Shirley Fleming, I will definitely attract their attacks, with their resources, the intensity will not be low. So I had to leak the news of my intentions to the media right away, and I couldn't stupidly wait for Shirley Fleming to negotiate terms, or wait for the day of the party to do it, and if Quincy Jones found out about my move and chose to make a public takeover first, I would be passive. ”

"OK, I don't have any doubts." Samur hung up.

"Hayden, does that financial newspaper have a page today, I'm going to reveal the news right away."

"Today?" Hayden was a little surprised, "That would break your previous agreement with Shirley Fleming, right?" ”

"To deal with old money, it is still the most effective method of people like Littleman, and you can't be too trustworthy."

Brought Yeremov in, and several people discussed the copywriting together, and the financial newspaper replied that it would be tomorrow, and Song Ya couldn't wait, so he contacted the gossip tabloid directly through Hayden.
