Chapter 878: Bracelet Island

The Gulfstream plane slowly landed at the international airport on Grand Bahama Island, and Taraghi and Linda had already changed into tropical dresses and ran down the gangway with cheers.

Song Ya let out a long yawn, and he and Hayden also put on their Hawaiian-style shirts, "It's not as warm as I imagined." ”

"It's January."

Hayden replied, and when old Mike and Marwota walked ahead with their suitcases, and the two of them also went out of the cabin, Mariah Carey's female assistant had already waited for the courtesy car below, and the group got into the car and rushed to the harbor to take the yacht that Mariah Carey had bought at the time of their engagement.

"The Bahamas is southeast of Florida and northeast of Cuba......"

The boat kept heading south, smelling the fishy sweet West Atlantic breeze, Song Ya and Hayden overlooking the blue sky from the railing, Hayden was very enthusiastic to introduce: "Many celebrities have bought a small island here, you see, the island over there belongs to Bernard Arnott, chairman of LVMH, and further south, we will pass by the island that David Copperfield just bought, and the ...... of Kennedy Jr.'s wife's family."

Song Ya was in no mood for this, and he couldn't help but think that he had set off from a seaside villa in Malibu, where the Maxwell family, who controlled the British Mirror Group, and that the tycoon Robert Maxwell himself died at sea while traveling on a yacht......

"I'll go stay in the cabin for a while."

After watching the tropical island for a long time, Song Ya felt bored and a little nervous, didn't Goodman warn him to be careful of some people to deal with himself decisively after the so-called treason case broke out? Maybe it's really possible, danger always comes from an unknown direction, the more he thought about it, the more timid he became, he simply hid in the cabin, and looked at the captain at the helm from time to time, "Can't you land at the airport closer to Bracelet Island?" ”

"The Gulfstream 4SP can't, small planes can."

This is the trouble of losing Cuba, whether it is the property, tourism resources, infrastructure, quality of the people, strategic location, Cuba is the best in the Caribbean, casinos, bars, beaches, coastline, natural and cultural scenery...... It's almost a mix of the Bahamas, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City.

It used to be a vacation mecca that the middle class of the United States could afford, and the giants of agriculture, tourism, winemaking, tobacco and other industries and even the mafia of the United States had made large-scale investments there, but the benefits were basically divided between the capital of the United States and the ruling class of Cuba, and the gap between the rich and the poor was extremely staggering, and then something happened that everyone knows.

The people of the United States have a special affection for Cuba, and even though the embargo has long been embargoed, the rich people of the United States are still proud to have access to smuggled Havana cigars, and politicians have always imagined how to regain control of the country, and they have not given up until now.

The voyage was long, Linda and Tarraghi, as well as some of the bodyguards who were not on duty, changed into bikinis or beach shorts and lay down on the deck to enjoy the sun and vacation, and the attendants of the ship brought cocktails, and Hayden also played outside for a while before following up with the cabin, "Won't you soak up the sun?" APLUS, the scenery is so good, maybe you can get a little inspiration, have you started to prepare a new song? ”

"Nope."

Song Ya has not been very adaptable to the atmosphere of Westerners who love to bask in the sun, as for the new song ......, "I have prepared two songs, not in a hurry, it's still early." ”

At present, the only apocalypse songs that I don't have to give out and are suitable for myself to sing are Airplanes and Low, and the other two rock songs Voodoo and No Sleep 2nite, a gospel symphonic chorus Baba Yetu, and two avant-garde minor tunes COPYCAT and i love you have not figured out how to deal with it. No, Voodoo definitely does the advertising song of the 3DFX 3D accelerator card of the same name, but to whom? Is it to invite a famous rock band, or A+ Records to sign a rookie band and not flow to outsiders?

But A+ Records is not very good to sign a white rock band as a hip-hop and rhythm-blues label......

"Wow, that's great, can I listen to that?" Hayden was very concerned about this information related to his income.

"No, keep it secret for ...... time being"

With less than a year left before the termination of the contract with Sony Columbia Records, the musical apocalypse seems to have slowed down, but the movie clips are a lot more messy, and there is nothing to ask for in the feast of God, "You and Donovan and William Morris have to plan for my future." He reminded Hayden, "Do you have eyebrows?" ”

"There aren't many options, you've already offended EMI and PolyGram to death, Sony Columbia Records doesn't consider it, then only Universal Music, Warner Records and BMG are left, and BMG has a worse influence in the United States, so the only real potential buyers are Universal and Warner......" Hayden reported.

"The signing fee must be in line with my coffee position, and even have a premium."

signed with Sony Columbia Records when he debuted, and he didn't get a penny of signing money, but now it's a different time.

"You signed with A+ Records first, and then used the release contract of A+ Records to negotiate the price with the giants, and the specific signing fee is not easy to calculate, because you will also be accompanied by small and medium-sized singers and ......groups such as Becky and Common under A+ Records."

Hayden said: "Can you accept that A+ records are half controlled by giants? If you want, then 50% of the shares can be sold for a good price. ”

Song Ya shook his head, joking, if he wanted to, there would be no need to have so many conflicts with Motura.

"That's not going to be easy to talk about, you know...... Belch...... APLUS: As a singer, you don't have a good reputation for working with record labels. Hayden said cautiously.

"I know."

This is indeed the case, Song Ya also knows that he has tossed the top management of Sony Columbia Records and even the management enough, all of this is undoubtedly in the eyes of other giant executives in the record industry, who is the master of the signing has to weigh it in advance, "But this is your William Morris problem, otherwise why should I share so much of your brokerage shares?" ”

"I know, I know, Donovan and I, and the whole of William Morris, will give our all to this change of record company for you." Hayden nodded repeatedly.

"Hmm."

As we chatted, the main island of Bracelet Island appeared in the skyline, and the name of the island was changed by Mariah Carey, because this main island and a circle of coral reef islets formed a chain of bracelet-like loops, which was very beautiful, especially when viewed from the air.

Hayden spent more than $7 million to buy the island and miscellaneous payments to the Bahamian government, as well as the original island facilities, and then renovated the buildings, docks, etc., for more than $5 million.

"This island is the largest and most beautiful of the surrounding islands, and the little island next to Patillabel is not enough to see compared to us!"

Hayden has been busy here for a long time, standing on the bow of the ship and proudly introducing one by one, "The pier was designed by a well-known designer in Miami, and the construction materials had to be brought in from outside by boat, and so did the workers. Mrs. Song also asked me to get a small tropical farm on the island, and I have hired someone to grow ornamental plants and even vegetables and fruits......"

"Uh-huh." Song Ya pouted and agreed, this island may be 'disposable' for him, because he may not be able to come to play after the divorce, 'such an expensive one-time item...... he couldn't help but secretly feel pain.

"Wait, why are there so many people?"

As the yacht approached the marina, Linda saw the water huts in the distance, the holiday huts built in the middle of the sea, crowded with people in almost every place, and from time to time the waves and laughter of men and women jumping into the sea could be heard in the distance.

"Didn't Mrs. Song tell you? She invited a lot of friends, most of them in the fashion industry, and after learning that she had been shortlisted for six Grammy awards, she planned to make six one-of-a-kind award-winning evening dresses. There is also the godmother Patti Label and Patti's friends, as well as celebrities and wealthy people living on the nearby islands. ”

Hayden smiled: "With her singing group, thirteen suites and seven water houses are not enough to live in." ”

"Loser...... Forget it. ”

Song Ya also lost his temper, anyway, he would only stay for a few days, and he would return to Los Angeles after the AMA awards ceremony.

The yacht slowly docks, and the marina is also specially designed, with cross-shaped white wooden planks extending straight from the edge of the island into the sea, with the blue sea clear enough to see the coral reefs and swimming fish, and the white lighthouse not far away, which is very harmonious.

“Mimi……”

Songya followed Mike Sr. and Hayden to the docks, and at a glance saw Maria Carey, who had come to pick him up arm in arm with Patti Label, covering her bikini with a scarf and carrying what appeared to be a baby carrycot in her other hand.

"Isn't it, so fast?" He was taken aback.

"What?! What about your brain? What about common sense? How can it be so fast! ”

Mariah Carey, who came here ten days earlier, was obviously tanned a lot, she was in a very good mood, she stepped forward arrogantly, and showed Song Ya the basket, "Oh, it's a dog......"

Glancing inside, there was indeed a puppy lying in the basket that had just been born for a long time, looking at the color, it should be the breed of the two Jack Russell terriers, Song Ya immediately rolled her eyes.

"I love it here." Mariah Carey suddenly took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, "Of all the gifts you gave me, I like this place the most." She said.
