Delay was called over, and Song Ya told him to read the magazine report.

"I don't know, maybe you should ask Mr. Sun from C-CUBE? He invested more money than you, didn't he? DeLay proposed.

Song Ya glanced at him and nodded silently.

Based on Apocalypse's investment, many of his investments were not made through A+ Audio, after all, according to the three-year and five-year profit equity incentive plan, DeLay will take up to 15% of the company. A+ Audio started to make a profit on the books through DTS's Series B financing in 92, so in the first stage of 95 when the reward was cashed out, DeLay would be rewarded with 5% of the shares, and the profit would be maintained until 97 was 15%.

So investments such as A+ Pedals, Bath, A+ Apparel, Palm, Wan Yan, A+ Film Studios, Amerika Music Magazine, Louise Report, and Stocks are all made through his wholly-owned A+ Records and A+ rights and asset management companies.

Although the previous investment was run by Delai, as the president of A+ Audio, he has to manage the synthesized music copyright library and DTS, and the three major stalls of the American music website, have limited energy, and it is normal for him not to care about business that has nothing to do with his own interests.

Song Ya himself pays more attention to industries with clear manager responsibilities such as A+ Pedal Company, Barn Company, and A+ Apparel, and Palm and Wan Yan, two pure venture capitalists, are just in the blind spot of his and Delay's perspectives.

Now it is precisely these two companies that have the potential to lose money.

He felt that at least like MJ, he should find another lawyer to keep an eye on these two companies and his follow-up venture capital.

Of course, Sun Yansheng still has to get in touch, and he invested 3 million dollars and only accounted for 15% of the shares, and the lion's lion's head was him and Huaguo's Wanyan Electronics.

"I'M BUSY WITH C-CUBE'S LISTING ON NASDAQ NEXT YEAR......"

Sun Yansheng explained the problem of patents,Basically,This VCD machine is difficult to apply for a patent in Mi,The key point is that there is no own technology,VCD disc format is in the hands of Sony、Philips and other companies,Optical drive is also,Various decoding chips are divided by companies such as C-CUBE and Texas Instruments,Even the appearance patent can't bypass Sony's LD player many years ago。

"Lao Wan doesn't have the awareness of this." He said: "At most, the integration scheme is used to apply for patents, but now it is too late, all the prototypes have been bought and studied by various companies, and the relevant patents have been preemptively registered......"

Sun Yansheng is also very helpless, he can't offend the rice country and Benzi Capital behind C-CUBE at this moment, and he himself is also facing the risk of being marginalized in C-CUBE company, the president of the company is not him, as the founder, after several rounds of financing, the right to speak has also been greatly weakened, and it will only be more non-existent after going public next year.

"What then?" Song Ya asked.

"There is no problem with production and sales in China, we have a great first-mover and capital advantage, we should not lose money, now a machine can be sold for 4,000 to 5,000 soft sister coins, and large-scale mass production will begin next year. But...... APLUS, I suggest you stay away from that company as well, the source of the film played by this thing can't all come from legal channels, we have to try to be low-key, so low-key that others can't feel our presence in that company. He said.

"Okay."

Isn't that just that you can't do anything? Feeling cheated again, Song Ya can only hope that his investment will not be lost' judgment, but fortunately, he only invested three million dollars.

After thinking about it, the next day he wrote a memo at school and asked Old Mac to drive the car to Barn after school.

"Over there?" After reading the memorandum, the general manager of Bath said, "Chemical equipment and electronic products are under the management of their Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, but I heard that this year it is being split into the Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Ministry of Electronics Industry." ”

"You're going?" Song Ya asked.

"Okay, no problem, let them take care of Wanyan Electronics, right?"

Of course, the general manager of Bahn Company will not simply understand the boss's question as really asking for his own opinions, "Their machinery industry department has a longer history and a higher status, and it has a good impression of you, after all, our last technology transfer cooperation was very pleasant." He said, "Well, I'm going to visit the engineers working there, too." ”

Song Ya nodded.

Putting this on the insurance card, he threw his hands away, except for Goodman and Hamlin, there were few lawyers he could trust, and he would slowly look for someone who could help him manage his venture capital.

Hamlin had already gone to New York with a power of attorney and a mission to find Daniel, in order to repay the help in the position of president of Sony Columbia Records, and to get rid of the thorn Russell Simmons, plus the interests of the future generation of shares, Daniel acted very quickly, and within twenty-four hours, under the guidance of President Lyle Cohen, a total of 7.8% of the shares of the minority shareholders of Def Jam Records fell into the hands of Songya's A+ investment and rights management company.

The transaction price was slightly higher than Daniel's promise, 3.25 million.

Subsequently, Lyle Cohen convened a board meeting, and Hamlin attended for the first time on behalf of Song Ya, beginning a showdown with Russell Simmons.

According to Hamlin's account afterwards, Russell Simmons quickly fought back after a brief period of confusion, refusing to sell about 20 percent of his shares, making a fuss in the board room, calling Lyle Cohen a traitor, and on the other hand, taking PolyGram's men and starting to enlist the support of other small and medium-sized shareholders.

Daniel was unrelenting, he secretly ordered the removal of all the records of Def Jam's artists, stopped all publicity, and broke off the transfer negotiations with Polygram.

This kind of behavior that is detrimental to the interests of Sony Columbia Records was naturally sued by Russell Simmons to Motura, but Motura is now lacking in skills, his Sony Entertainment has not yet started to officially operate, and MJ's case has also dragged him a lot of energy.

To a certain extent, it is estimated that he does not want to go head-to-head with Song Yaga Daniel now, Daniel, as the president who manages specific business affairs, is cleaning his team within the company, and it is not easy to keep the positions of those people, and he is now completely on the defensive.

Russell Simmons and Polygram did not give up, they had the same idea as Song Ya back then, and went to the book to complain.

After Gao Shu summoned several times and was evaded by Song Ya under the pretext of recuperating his throat, he and Polygram's negotiators directly came to Highland Park a few days later.

"APLUS, SO NOW SONY COLUMBIA RECORDS IS YOUR AND DANIEL GLASS'S PRIVATE PLAYGROUND?"

Polygram's negotiator was an Englishman, and he was not without malice in front of Gao Shu.

“BullShxt！”

Song Ya continued to immerse herself in the spiritual world of the male protagonist of my life, half-lying on the sofa, and shot back with a short expletive.

The other party was not angry, only shrugged his shoulders and moved his gaze to the tall tree.

"APLUS, you and Daniel are infringing on the interests of Sony Electronics." Since the success of the last rebellion, the relationship between Takaki and him has also broken down, and there is no politeness between the two sides.

"Talking alone?" Song Ya replied.

He nodded, and Polygram's people had no choice but to go out first.

Song Ya took out the note she had written in advance and asked Linda to hand it to the other party.

It's nothing, just briefly explain the rationality of replacing the part of Russell Simmons's shares that have caused Def Jam to lose money for many years, as for lowering the specific price, it is just a normal business method, as long as it does not hurt the 50% transaction price of Sony Columbia Records and Polygram.

In this regard, Daniel's side has given assurances, and he has given his own assurances.

"I agree with you, but you can't be so eager to sell off important labels as soon as you're in power, and that's when you have a personal vendetta with Russell Simmons." Takaki said.

Just right, Song Ya got up and angrily threw Wan Yan's VCD machine and the indictment that he was going to fight an integrated plan patent lawsuit in the United States in front of Gao Shu, of course, it was only a preparatory nature.

"Uh......"

Gao Shu was also confused, "What does this Huaguo company have to do with you?" ”

"Fifteen percent." Song Ya replied.

"You're going to sue Sony? In the United States? Gao Shu smiled.

Song Ya put Def Jam's acquisition documents and indictment side by side, lay back down, and gave him a look of his choice.

"You can't win, it's just ...... It's just ...... Whimsical. Takaki said a Japanese idiom.

“What？”

"Whimsical."

Song Ya pointed to his throat again and stopped talking.

Gao Shu was silent for more than ten seconds, but he still picked the acquisition document, went out and handed it to Polygram, shook his head, and signaled that he didn't care about it.

"APLUS, YOU'RE STILL YOUNG, WHO KNOWS WHERE YOUR NEXT ARTIST CONTRACT WILL BE? With a singer of your calibre, with only five major record labels left as your potential foothold, is it necessary to stiffen your relationship with us? The other party persuaded.

Song Ya looked at Linda Nunu and asked her to answer.

"You don't have to run errands for Russell Simmons."

Linda said: "Def Jam is more beneficial to you in the hands of APLUS or Russell Simmons, it's not hard to choose, isn't it?" ”

"So you promised to write songs for Def Jam's singers?" Polygram's people asked, "Instead of changing hands for a short period of time to make the difference?" You and Daniel are working together to depress the value of Russell Simmons' shares, and on the other hand, you're asking us a high price! Maybe we should buy Russell Simmons' stock first, it's better than your bid. ”

"Then you won't get the Def Jam, and Mr. Daniel Glass would rather sell it to another company." Linda issued an ultimatum on behalf of Songya, "It doesn't make sense for you to buy those ten or twenty percent shares, and if you do buy those shares from Russell Simmons, the records of Def Jam's artists will not be released in PolyGram." ”

The mall is like a battlefield, and the bloodless game is carried out in all dimensions, Daniel in order to establish his prestige, and Song Ya in order to retaliate, treat Russell Simmons very savagely and unreasonably, but not to Polygram.

Polygram, as one of the big six record companies, pays more attention to distribution and copyright management than to make investments, and if you want to buy Def Jam, you must buy 50%, otherwise there is no point. But they can't be stupid and do nothing, when Daniel introduces Song Ya and unites the remaining fifty percent of Def Jam, he will definitely open his mouth to the Polygram Lions, and there is nothing they can do in the face of the monolithic management after buying it.

"You might as well cooperate with Mr. APLUS, Russell Simmons is outdated, he is old, and his personal interests are in the fashion industry and media, Def Jam has suffered huge losses over the years, and Mr. Lyle Cohen, the president of Def Jam, should have made his attitude clear to you. And Mr. APLUS's A+ record has won Fergie, and he has sold more records alone than Def Jam in the past year. Linda said.

"We are Polygram." The other party said.

Indeed, Polygram has its own confidence when it says this, they bought Def Jam just to lay out the hip-hop music industry in the United States, this level of loss is completely affordable, and their resources go in, and the situation of Def Jam will also improve.

Linda didn't know what to say and looked at Song Ya.

"That's it!"

Song Yacai didn't bother to talk to the other party, Daniel and Learcohen should have done this kind of thing, they paid for it themselves, and just now they played another hole card in order to deal with the tall tree, there is no reason to jump out and attract all the firepower by a stupid person like the time when they drove away Motula.

He stood up and held out his hand to the other man.

"Goodbye, young man, I have to say, you have impressed me." The other party reluctantly shook hands with him and said goodbye and left.

"What do you mean?" Song Ya looked at the other party's back and asked Linda.

"I don't know, but I feel that you have become more domineering and unfathomable in the eyes of others with fewer words." Linda replied.
