Chapter 223: One Floor
"Okay, okay, don't laugh at Ms. Fleming, she's old, and now I guess it's not good. Does this news mean that I have another chance to get the Amerika Music Magazine? ”
Finally stopped, Song Ya quickly thought of this, "Or, can you help me contact Litman?" ”
"It's fine to contact him, but are you confident that you'll save such a dead niche magazine? ABC can't help it, there's no way to buy ABC's Metropolitan Communications Company, Litman still can't do it, in terms of financial resources, in terms of management ability, you are completely incomparable with them. Besides, the print media is declining more and more......" Hayden replied.
"I love the name of this magazine, Musical America, I used to dare to buy it, but there's no reason to cringe now, right? It's a big deal to change it to a music industry gossip magazine, for young people, and I can withstand losing a little money every year, and it just so happens that Litman laid off all the people for me and saved a lot of expenses. Song Ya had just arrived with more than 20 million yuan, and waved his hand very arrogantly, "Ask the price!" ”
"OK, you're the boss." Following Song Ya, Hayden's personal income in 91 was almost nearly one million, and he is now obedient, "But your approximate income in 91 will soon be blown out by the well-informed media, we can't end up in person, Litman must know that you have long been interested in America Music Magazine, and if you re-enter the market for the second time, fools will know that you will be a fat sheep just waiting to be slaughtered." ”
"Anyway, you William Morris can do it for me."
"Okay."
Hayden made a few phone calls and quickly got back, "Unable to reach Littleman, Donovan asked an entrepreneur friend in Los Angeles to help him ask for a price, and someone in his company said that no one could reach Littleman for work during the vacation." ”
Unfortunately, Henry Ettman didn't know if he really had this rule or hiding, and he couldn't be contacted at all, Hayden said: "A vice president revealed that he had no intention of selling this magazine for the time being, probably because the only money-making classical music annual chart had to rely on the name of this magazine to be authoritative, but he didn't say anything to death, and hinted that there were other people interested in buying." ”
"Who?" I had noticed this magazine myself and Litman before, but now that it is even more declining, there will be people who want to enter the market?
"Who knows, maybe it's just a way to raise the price, Donovan will let his friend keep in touch with the other party, wait until Littman returns, he's the only one who can call the shots." Hayden shrugged.
"That's all it can be."
In a hurry, Song Ya could only put it aside for the time being, "Is there anything else I can invest in next?" ”
"The first floor shops and land under your twelve apartments, the owner is willing to sell them in a package."
After the incident subsided, the price and rental income of the building fell by about 20%, and the tenant on the first floor has not negotiated with the owner to move back.
"How much does it cost?" A good opportunity, Song Ya bought these two things, and the whole building belonged to him.
"I'll ask." Hayden dialed the real estate agent he worked with last time, "The owner offered 18 million dollars. ”
"Excuse me, I'll get in touch again." Song Ya snatched the microphone and shouted inside to hang up the phone, "You treat me like a rich fool?" ”
"That's Manhattan land......" Hayden reminds.
"Besides, wouldn't it be worse for me to gamble all my money on a moving five-story property, and to have another 'load-bearing column' incident?" Song Ya saw it clearly, "I don't want to make more dangerous targets in my asset allocation, this is the lesson I learned from the struggle with Motula." ”
"And what else do you want to buy?" Hitting a wall in two places, Hayden saw that he would not give up without spending some money now.
"Go as planned."
In any case, Song Ya had to get his hands on Big A's radio first, and he called Delay in Chicago to ask about the negotiations with Big A.
"Big A offers two million."
Delai's words amused Song Ya, "I can buy five big A radio stations for two million...... He didn't know if all the equipment and vinyl records he had there were worth 100,000 dollars. ”
"Big A is willing to tie up for about five years as a resident host of the radio station." DeLay asked, "Would you be okay with a million?" ”
"That's not worth that much, and Big A will have no way to treat me when the time comes, after all, he is still a person from GD, and GD no longer guarantees me, and the contract has no practical effect on him."
Song Ya saw the twists and turns in the hearts of people like Big A very accurately, "You say to Big A, 500,000 at a price, otherwise you will be pulled down!" This is already a very high premium, and I don't play any artist's binding contract with him, he just agrees to sign a normal work contract. ”
"OK, I'll talk to him."
At the beginning of 1992, Song Ya's A+ record company won Big A Radio, and the first acquisition worth 500,000 yuan in the new year was reached.
The second money was spent on the entire eighteenth floor of a commercial building in the north of Chicago, surrounded by good security, close to performing arts schools and Chicago theaters, and A+ Records paid the full amount at one time, plus a total of 12 million dollars in legal finance and other commission costs at the time of acquisition, A+ Records finally had a stable nest.
"You don't have to decorate it too well, you just need to make it modern, but the big studio and the mixing studio have to be top-notch."
On this floor, there will be three recording studios, a mixing room, an audio studio, a post-processing studio, a practice room, a radio studio, a conference room, and several offices and staff lounges.
"For the time being, there are still 8 million left in A+ Records, which should be set aside for the annual salary of new and old employees and the production cost of my first album, and the rest will be saved, the decoration cost is controlled by Song Asheng, and the quotation of the decoration company and the purchase and installation cost of the recording studio and other equipment need to be audited by Coopers and my signature and consent."
He called Samuel and Song Asheng together: "A+ Copyright and Asset Management Company has seven million on its books, two million into the stock market, continue to increase its holdings in the software and hardware industry, and the other five million for backup, I may make some acquisitions." ”
"Wow, APLUS, you're really, really efficient at spending money." I don't know whether Samuel's sentence is positive or derogatory.
"It's all according to plan, A+ records are a little bit ahead of plan, but this floor is good collateral, and the capital chain should not have a problem coping with the whole of '92."
Having the opportunity to buy an entire commercial floor is something Song Ya did not expect, this kind of real estate is generally only used for rent, but it just so happens that this floor used to belong to Barn Chemical, last time he asked the old Barn and Edward of AW Investment Company to come out for a meal, the original intention was to fight for Goodman and Hamlin's business, but he didn't expect to take care of each other's big business first.
Old Barn and Edward's life is not easy, Barn Chemical's spin-off plan is completely deadlocked, and the cooperation between the two sides is currently a lose-lose situation, which is good, otherwise Song Ya will never have a chance to buy the good things in their hands.
Edward did not let Wilgardner go as Song Asheng said, he took the other party to court after terminating the contract, and the crime was misappropriation of the advance lawyer's fees in the special account of AW Investment Company, the crime seems to be small, but if it is established, it is almost equivalent to a 'death sentence' for the profession of lawyer, and Will Gardner will be disqualified from practicing law if he does not deal with it well.
The former partners turned against each other after half a year, which is a normal phenomenon in the United States.
"There's a lot of good stuff left in Barn Chemical, boy, are you interested?"
Old Barn was so anxious that he spread out a stack of documents on the spot, which were all some high-tech factories and equipment of Barn Chemical, which could never be sold to Huaguo, "You see, this is our fluorescent agent factory, which has been in operation for less than five years. ”
"I can't think of a reason for a hip-hop artist to buy a chemical plant, Mr. Barn." Song Ya smiled bitterly and refused.
"We're at the forefront of the world in this technology! Our fluorescent agents are non-radioactive and harmless to humans, except for a short luminescence time ......"
"Mr. Barn, don't be embarrassed for me."
