Chapter 722: The Rabble
How much is this? How many apples are here? ”
Entering July, Netscape's IPO entered the most critical period, Song Ya often needed to follow Jim Clark and Barksd to help build momentum, and then accept some financial and technology media interviews alone, as well as record MVs and help Dow light sticks advertise and other miscellaneous things, very busy, it is rare to spare half a day to visit Xiao Robb in Shirlenfenna.
"One." Little Robb replied in a milky voice.
"This is one?" Song Ya asked, pointing to the three apple patterns on the early education book.
"One."
"One, two, three, three apples." Song Ya frowned.
"One, one, one."
Little Robb clicked the apples one by one, and then looked at him blankly with wide eyes.
"Doesn't seem to be very smart......" he was slightly disappointed.
"He's just over a year old!"
Xue Linfen, who was lying on the sofa next to her, put down her protest, "Will you count when you're so old?" ”
"I don't remember, but the child's education should be paid attention to." Song Ya raised the cover of the early teaching book to her, "I bought it for a one-and-a-half-year-old child, as a mother, aren't you in a hurry?" ”
"So you're a parenting expert now?" Xue Linfen sneered, "I know how to raise a child." ”
"You're totally stocking."
"Hah! I'm at least there for him every day......"
The two exchanged a few words, and little Robb cried, she came over to pick up her son and coax her, and within a few minutes she fell asleep and handed it over to the nanny to take her away, "I heard Tim say that you received a new notice again?" Song Ya asked.
"It's not counting, it's just going to be a celebrity cameo in NBC's TV series Friends." She replied.
"It's not bad, the ratings of that show are very high, and the stars who go there to make cameos are not all outdated."
"If you can't speak, don't speak, OK?"
She didn't like to hear the word gas, so she sat down in front of the vanity mirror and pulled her hair.
"Waiting for the cat and mouse game to be released......"
"Who would count on a supporting role for the future." She said.
"What's wrong with you today? Something doesn't seem right with the mood. Song Ya stood behind her.
"Someone has been courting me lately, a photographer I used to know from the crew." Xue Linfen replied naturally.
The heart of the forest began to disperse, and Song Ya thought of Mira again, her ex-girlfriend had just given herself a song of the Apocalypse not long ago, a female voice guitar minor COPYCAT, and some hip-hop style when singing the lyrics, a very novel way to deal with it, but he hasn't thought about who to sing it to at the moment, but Mila seems to have decided to try to have a relationship with the French director who is fiercely pursuing her......
"It's a photographer again...... his brows furrowed, "haven't you had enough of the last photographer who likes domestic violence?" ”
"Little Robb is getting older, and I have to have my own life."
Xue Linfen brushed away his outstretched hand, "What did you take me for?" A woman who provides services? Every time I come, I hypocritically insist on what I don't really do, and I also have normal needs, okay? ”
"It's really ......" has already eaten secretly with Cassidy once, Song Ya didn't hold on long under the desire for control that surged into her head, and her tongue subconsciously licked the corners of her mouth, "Then I'll serve you this time, don't deal with those photographers whose character is worse than the other, okay?" ”
In New York at this time, Russell Simmons was in an office meeting with his executives.
"There will definitely be another loss this year, and Quincy Jones's youngest daughter, Rashida Jones, is still restless in the company, and always likes to use magazine resources to help her expand her pulse."
His senior management stationed in VIBE magazine complained: "She and her sister who broke the news every day on the APLUS website are simply a pair of blue pools!" ”
"Pierre Sutton is urging again, what should we do?" Another executive in charge of negotiations with the inner-city broadcaster asked.
"Did Quincy Jones' money come in?" Russell Simmons asked rhetorically: "The part that bears the cost of the joint funding work." ”
"Came in, but he was only willing to take 30 percent, and he said he knew the inner city broadcaster didn't like him, so this time it was still us, just like when he was running VIBE magazine." The executive replied.
"FUCK, I FEEL LIKE THAT OLD FOX IS ARCHING ME IN FRONT OF ME EVERY TIME, AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT MERGER FOR THE AMERICAN MUSIC MAGAZINE, APLUS PROBABLY WOULDN'T HATE ME THAT MUCH."
Russell Simmons also came back to his senses, "Now the NGers with heads and faces know that I have made nearly 50 million from Polygram, and they are all eyeing my wallet. All sorts of goods started to harass me, and now I can finally understand what kind of pressure APLUS and MJ's wealthy African-American male stars have been under all these years! ”
"Although APLUS is very annoying, I have to admit that he is right about the inner city broadcasting company, he does not dare to rush in, we can't take it lightly, 30 million is not a decimal, and the Sutton family refuses to give up management." The executive said, "The money from LL Cool J didn't come in either, and there was a braggart daddy. ”
"They shrunk and the Manhattan gang needs to keep their distance from them." Russell Simmons threw the pen in his hand on the table, "What a rabble!" This way we can't compete with APLUS at all! Let's figure out the part of the money that will be spent during the negotiation period! Quincy Jones out of thirty percent, I take fifty-one percent, and there is a gap of nineteen percent......"
"LL Cool J......" executives reiterate again.
"He was frightened by APLUS, and the public finally turned their attention to Madonna and 2PAC, and he was suppressed by the rumors that 2PAC slept with his girlfriend, but APLUS was ready to let the American music website reheat the matter, and he didn't dare to take risks."
Russell Simmons said quietly: "He's hiding in Hollywood now, ready to transfer his money to Marvel's Blade project, and he's been obsessed with that black superhero character all these years." ”
"And what about the nineteen percent ......," the executive asked, "what about Mr. Lylecoen of Def Jam?" ”
"He won't cooperate with me, and now he is choked enough by APLUS, the singer Warren G, who carries the sales, has an ambiguous attitude, and the little girl Foxy Brown who was recommended by APLUS before also helps to make things happen in the company, and Linda, a subordinate of APLUS, proposed to convene a board of directors in three days, asking for an audit and other disgusting people, and also went to the Polygram board of directors to sue the management of Polygram who led the acquisition, saying that Def Jam is not worth nearly 600 million valuations at all, and there are insider transactions in it. Now there are rumors flying all over Def Jam, and everyone is anxious. ”
"Indeed, the power and means of APLUS are very strong in an instant, and Pierre said that they have provided formal information on the company's internal operating conditions to the APLU-authorized capital injection team, and we have not even set up a docking investment company now, and the progress is greatly behind." The executive said, "Why don't we pay the 19 percent upfront?" It's just a front-loading cost, and there is not much money in total. ”
"Never, I don't want to be used as a gun by that old fox of Quincy Jones anymore, and I don't believe a word of Pierre's words."
Russell Simmons said, "The idea was Quincy Jones, and now the pressure is all on me, what's going on?" If I don't figure this out, I'm going to end up with two heads of people who aren't human, what the fuck! ”
"That?"
"Either Quincy Jones makes up the nineteen percent, or bring in some more people, or I won't do it!"
