Chicago 1990

"Isn't Viacom chasing BET!?"

Song Ya was shocked. This shows that due to the shrinking wealth, his own business has begun to be watched by predators from all walks of life. Maybe Viacom's view of the rising period and the ACE station are just the tip of the iceberg.

If Litman didn't inform Sloan, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark.

Litman and the Abelsons, the founders of the OpenDiary website, both complained to the outside world after they clashed with them last time. In addition, Litman is an old media person. Perhaps this is what Redstone picked him for. the reason.

Viacom just merged with CBS, one of the three oldest television networks last year, and they also own the media industry heavyweights such as Paramount, one of Hollywood’s top seven, television networks, audio-visual chain giant Blockbuster, and a large number of cinema chains. The company's boss, Lei Shidong, is like another media tycoon Murdoch. In recent years, his net worth has risen from three or four billion dollars to seven or eight billion dollars, and he has no loss in this stock market crash.

It is indeed a good time to hunt down the bottom, but according to intelligence, Redstone and Johnson, the owner of the black TV network BET, have seen the right eye. For the past two years, Viacom has been rumored to be a wholly-owned acquisition and ranked second in the number of subscribers of Mi Cable. BET around ten.

"It doesn't affect it. The Viacom Group is now extremely powerful. What does it mean to win two more TV stations? It can bring vitality to the old-fashioned CBSNews, and ACE can be seamlessly integrated into BET's black entertainment system..."

Sloan's analysis: "Johnson will definitely sell BET. He has no interest in continuing to manage the company. The only difference is the price. Redstone himself is a conservative and a good buyer, and the party likes it. "

"People like Redstone are beginning to take a look. He won't simply ask us for two TV stations... He probably has already done something, such as taking in the shares of our Littman Media."

Whether it’s acquiring Paramount, Blockbuster or CBS, Redstone has always been in a thrilling business battle. Song Ya knows the old fox’s methods very well and is absolutely fast, accurate, and good at playing strategic deception. For example, he used the acquisition of Blockbuster to reduce the alert of his opponent Barry Diller, and then killed a carbine and used Blockbuster to borrow money to take down Paramount. This is a very classic case.

"Don't worry? All of your companies cross-hold 42% of Littman Media. You personally spent money to recover some of the stocks from the open market when you last protected the market. Whoever wants malicious mergers and acquisitions Hit the iron plate."

Sloan didn't think it was a big threat. "Now I actually hope that someone is quietly taking in Litman Media's stock. That's a good thing..."

"Ok."

She said that Song Ya’s worries were slightly relieved, "Lei Shidong is very patient. He should find a way to enter the board of directors first, observe or make troubles at close range, and then wait for opportunities... I had a good relationship with him, don’t Those who come and go have become enemies again."

"In short, this weekend we will play the public opinion war more beautifully. First, we will solve all kinds of speculations about you from the outside world, and by the way, put an end to the coveting of the capital predators on your various industries..." Sloan said.

"Alright alright."

Song Ya hung up. Now its own business has developed into the deep water area. Because the blog site requires low technology, OpenDiary is facing many competitors, many of which are backed by big Internet companies.

The development momentum of the news channel and the ACE entertainment integrated channel have also begun to threaten big companies. There are not a few 20-hour professional news channels in the whole rice field. The ratings of ACE’s street dance competition have ranked in the forefront of the variety show category.

Litman Press controls the middle school **** education film market in the early ten states, and the remaining markets are all large publishing groups that are far larger than Litman.

A+ Entertainment is already one of the top students in Hollywood's second-tier film companies, except for DreamWorks, and it is also fighting with Murdoch's Fox Pictures in a protracted Titanic income-sharing lawsuit.

Metropolitan Distribution Company is also entering the operating track under the money, record distribution, this is the forbidden area of ​​the world's five major record companies...

There are only a few major competitors in the 3D display chip market of 3DFX, and the Sega camp that 3DFX has joined has become more and more difficult with the conquest of Sony’s PS2 console.

Other traditional businesses such as wine and apparel have rivals in their respective fields. Only in the incremental market of the Internet boom, there are no mortal enemies, but when the stock market crash occurs, everyone's life is difficult, and internal competition will gradually become fierce.

Peter is still dragging his feet!

‘Hey! ’

headache! Song Ya lay on the sofa and gave a light tusk. It was so distressed that the stall was too open. People's energy is always limited. Originally, he had planned to use the operation of selling the wine business to the French to shrink strategically, but The stock market crash happened suddenly. The media, Internet, and technology venture capital businesses that were supposed to be the main business seemed unreliable...

It is still the weakness of Apocalypse. Even if Apocalypse teaches that a certain company can live in the future, it will only live into the future. What level of market value can it reach? It is difficult to say, for example, YAHOO, this week has fallen from a high of 130 billion less than half.

"In a bad mood?" Amy snuggled up tenderly when she saw this scene.

"Why is it so good?" Song Ya hugged her casually.

"Oh right..." Amy felt distressed when she saw him. She knew that men had lost a lot of money, so she took out a piece of colored coated paper that looked like a ticket. "Go to relax at night?"

"what is this?"

Song Ya took it and took a look, "Don't go."

It’s an invitation to a masquerade party. It was held in a hotel near Metropolis Records. A good-looking black girl wearing a Cleopatra mask occupies most of the page. The list of planners below is printed with Jazzy and Damon Dash's name is very beautifully made.

Papa Bragging, NAS, Jazzy, the dead Irv Gaudi, black movie star Jamie Fox, etc. are basically powerful party planners. The popular point is that these guys seem to be naturally good at creating a party atmosphere, which can definitely be guaranteed. The guests have fun drinking, the reputation in the circle is very good, and it is also a big source of extra money outside the main business.

Not to mention the subtle relationship with Jazzy, the banknote printing machine, Song Ya probably heard from Linda that Damon Dash’s girlfriend, Arya, and the New York music industry people followed by buying stocks and lost money, of course he didn’t want to go. The black girl wearing the Cleopatra mask should be Arya.

"Go, it's Jazzy and Dame's masquerade party for "Fatal Romeo" starring Alia..."

Sure enough, Amy pointed to Arya's photo and said, "I heard that Kung Fu star Jet Lee is also there."

"Oh?" Song Ya got a little interested. He has had different-level dealings with Fa Ge, Jack Chen, Wang Zongxian and other Chinese filmmakers, but Jet Lee...has never been in contact.

The deadly Romeo starring Arya and Jet Lee started painting at the end of last month and should now be promoted in New York, so there is this party. He guessed.

It seems that I heard Yeremov say a few days ago that the final global box office of fatal Romeo is estimated to be around 100 million dollars. With the film's 25 million production cost, it is definitely no problem to make money.

Jet Li came to the United States late. He played a supporting role as a villain in Lethal Weapon 4. His career development in Hollywood is far from Jack Chen Shunli. Song Ya knows that he used to be a positive hero in China. , Wondering if I met him in the past and greeted everyone by the way to take care of him?

"go Go…"

Amy saw that he was interested, so she eagerly pushed people out of the door, "Drink with friends, forget those unpleasant things temporarily, and approve you for a holiday today, it's a holiday."

Holiday...holiday?

Song Ya got to the point immediately, "You are so good Amy..." squeezed her face affectionately, "Aren't you angry?"

"Anyway, I'll...go for a while." Amy said, touching her belly.

Hey! This infatuated woman, even if she was pregnant with a baby, completely gave up her film work for the next year. Originally, as an actor in the image of a white, obedient female, she and her official announcement would be a big blow to her career...

Soon, Song Ya found a mask of the same style that Liangtang wore in the eye-opening ring and appeared at the party.

Only when he walked into the banquet hall, the old Mike wearing a simple Zorro blindfold saw him curl up in front of him and drifted silently on tiptoes along the wall of the banquet hall.

According to experience, his reaction will only occur in one situation. Old Mike looked up and looked for it, and he saw Beyonce dancing with Alia in the middle of the banquet hall like a star of fashion men and women.

The background music is ‘LOW’ which was voted as the best nightclub dance music of the year in Song Yasan Academy. Everyone wore various exquisite masks. The whole banquet hall was filled with the smell of alcohol, perfume and hormones.

Okay, it's rare that your kid has a woman who is scared from the bottom of his heart.

The old man thought.

"What about Jet Lee?"

The masquerade party is just a bit better, pretend to be strict and not to be seen for a while. Linda was in Chicago, and the news of her arrival was only revealed to the president of Metropolitan Records, and the two parties quickly took over.

"He stayed for a while and then left, saying he was unsuitable for this kind of occasion." The president of Metropolis Records said, "Should you call him?"

"No need to."

If you don’t run into it, it’s a holiday! Holidays and holidays! Song Ya rubbed her hands and asked, "Did you sign any newcomers with Linda recently?"

Since this year, he has decentralized some of the rights of records and movies. A+ Records and Metropolitan Records have the right to sign novice singers within the budget. Generally speaking, A+ Records is responsible for the Midwest and West Coast singers where Chicago and Los Angeles are located. Metropolitan Records Responsible for the East Coast and South where New York is located.

Come to relax, just relax, the opportunity is rare, Song Ya plans to try something new tonight, only this kind of thing can make him forget everything temporarily.

"Of course..." The president of Metropolis Records was still not close after all. He didn't understand the spirit of the boss, and 1510 really reported the information of the newly signed singer.

"Mr. Estefan, APLUS seems to be on the Metropolis Record side, attending a mask party."

And the respectful attitude of the president of Metropolis Records also sold him out. A Latin musician who had worked with the Cup of Life knew old Mike who was inseparable from him, "Come here? A rare opportunity!"

"Ha, that seems to be APLUS? Go to say hello?"

Estefan's gang coaxed Shakira, who was recording at Sony Columbia Records, to kill immediately.

"No."

The man who turned into ashes and couldn't admit to mistakes was chatting with a hot girl in the corner of the banquet hall, and Shakira secretly cursed a scumbag in his heart.

She is not stupid. She immediately realized that the agent from her family had no purpose, "You play your stocks, don't disturb my life..."

"Just talk a few words, it's okay."

The other Latin gangs were unwilling, especially those who had copied the CrimeReads site before the close, "APLUS?" The gambler lost his eyes but didn't care about anything, and deliberately shouted loudly without Shakira's consent.

Song Ya hasn't revealed his identity in front of the "prey", and is enjoying the happiness of a foolish girl who pretends to be an ordinary passerby to tease in front of him, and is unprepared for this voice.

Song Ya turned her head, and at first glance she saw Shakira surrounded by Estefan and the others. These Latin people seemed to be in a hurry, wearing the biggest Zorro or Batman blindfolds similar to Old Mike. , Shakira's handheld mask didn't bother to block her face.

"Ah! You are..." The hot girl looked at both sides of the sound, and then connected the tall man in front of her with the rich and superstar, covering her mouth and screaming excitedly.

All nearby guests paid their attention.

Beyonce, Arya, Damon Dash and others in the center also noticed the unexpected situation here.

"Uh... let's talk over."

Song Ya decisively abandoned the passerby she had just met and snapped his fingers to the president of Metropolitan Records.

"Come with me, Miss Shakira, Mr. Estefan."

The president of Metropolis Records graciously led the group away from the banquet hall and found a separate room.

"Hi..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Song Ya only had Shakira in his eyes and greeted her, because many outsiders didn’t know about the existence of Little Arianne, and didn’t ask, "I just just chatted with that girl casually..."

"They are looking for something to do with you."

Shakira didn't believe the scumbag's nonsense, she folded her hands coldly on her chest and turned her face away.

Perhaps in the intermittent period between the two junior colleges, her body management has been relaxed, and she has become a little plump, and the little spicy mother is already fully cooked.

"APLUS, maybe you have heard that we all followed you last year and supported your company. It's real money."

A Latin musician who copied halfway up the mountain couldn't control much, and said very fast: "We can't stand it anymore. What are your plans? Litman Media, American Music, OpenDiary, CrimeReads are not guaranteed. Is it? Or to grasp the big and let go of the small?"

"This gentleman..."

The president of Metropolis Records didn't want the boss to be disturbed, and opened his arms to drive out the miscellaneous people.

"It's inconvenient for me to respond to these kinds of questions, because insider trading will be suspected."

Song Ya shrugged at the group of people who were observing her eagerly, "Please understand."

"Talk in private?" Estefan suggested, and gently pushed Shakira's back for help.

Shakira dodges impatiently without responding.

Estefan had to smile at Song Ya awkwardly.

How did the stock speculation become like this? Estefan used to be very polite, he was originally the leader of the Latin band in the American music circle, the former husband of Latin DIVA Gloria, and now the agent of Latin DIVA Shakira, he must have status and reputation.

"No, if you want to inquire about this kind of question..."

Song Ya’s refusal was halfway through, and someone asked: "APLUS, everyone used to recognize you as our friend. But you keep going to help the platform of the money-making company under your company and deceive us ordinary investors..."

"The money company? Haha."

I did not expect to encounter such a scene, Song Ya was also annoyed, and interrupted the other party with a sneer, "Don't say my companies didn't make any money for you after they went public, if you really enter the market immediately... As for right now, the stock market disaster is not what I want to see. I have lost much more than you. If you want to send the resentment of losing money on me, you are very wrong."

"you…"

The man wanted to be entangled, "You go out first." Shakira said.

"All go out." The president of Metropolis Records continued to rush people.

"Alright, Shakira, help us..." Estefan glanced at the old Mike who unzipped the jacket and exposed the holster, whispered to Shakira, and then persuaded all his companions to go out.

There are only two people left in the room now.

"How is Little Arianne?" Song Ya stared at the child's mother and spoke first.

"You go to visit Colombia by yourself." Shakira replied.

"Uh..." Not daring to go, Song Ya recalled the guns in the hands of her father and brother-in-law.

"You're really scumbag, APLUS. A few days ago, Amy was still in front of me with a happy face and mentioned you, she is pregnant with a baby." Shakira helped her former girlfriend angrily scold the scumbag, "I heard it in New York. There are rumors that because you provoke Beyonce who has just grown up, she almost shot him to death?"

"I didn't... Anyway, it's not what you think."

Why did the matter spread... Forget it, it’s not time to worry about this, Song Yasan smiled and raised his hand to surrender and interrupted, "Oh yes, wait you to help me tell Estefan and them. I can’t talk to them about the stock. Talk privately, but the Jones Stewart talk show I will be on stage this weekend will talk about the situation publicly, just let them watch it."

"They seem to have lost a lot." Shakira didn't pay much attention to this aspect when he was busy with the new album, but he could always feel a little bit.

"Everyone has lost a lot, the stock market crash."

"Okay, I'll tell..." Shakira snorted and laughed, "Why didn't Beyoncé kill you? If you change to me, you can't live..."

"So you hate me so much?"

"I can't wait for you to die Puta!"

"What about the little Arianne when I'm dead?"

"I will find him a good stepfather..."

"The son of the Argentine chief? By the way, I heard Amy say that you have a new boyfriend? Bless you..."

Shakira was stunned, but she was particularly sad when she received the blessing. She turned around in anger and left without saying a word.

The figure disappeared from sight, and Song Ya was alone for a long time.

Exquisite masquerade party, swinging men and women, Shakira didn’t seem to go to Estefan and them, but she also picked a male dance partner nearby. Her waist was twisted like a motor, and the colorful lights spilled on her indulgent and laughing. On the face.

But a tear on the corner of her eyes betrayed her.

The soft part of Song Ya's heart was also hit instantly, staring blankly and cowardly, and some of them saw her being so intimate with others in front of her.

"Hey! Miss Shakira let you go away!" Her dance partner tried to save the beauty, but just as soon as she pushed her hands to Song Ya's chest, she recognized the identity of the gangster in front of her.

"If this makes you feel better..."

Song Ya forgot to put on the mask.

The little chaos caused the men and women around them to stop dancing and consciously gathered in a circle to watch the excitement, but they quickly screamed because they saw APLUS suddenly drew a gun from the waist of the old bodyguard behind them!

Then he put the gun in the hands of his ex-girlfriend Shakira, held it with both hands, and even pulled the trigger with her index finger.

Song Ya and her eyes widened, she stared at each other in a daze, letting her do what she did, and then pointed the gunpoint at her eyebrows.

Suffering from this shocking change, the people around instantly quieted down, with only the sound of background music.

Even Beyonce grew her mouth after seeing this scene.

IrealizethatI'mmuchtoolate

I realized everything I did was too late

The big solid hand wrapped one of her hands and the other held the barrel of the gun. Song Ya didn’t know why he suddenly went crazy. He saw Shakira’s face twisted, UU reading www.uukanshu.com's expression changed. Suffering incomparably, he looked at the crowd of onlookers at close range, and then looked behind him for help.

Old Mike was behind, but the old man didn't seem to react.

The old man's gun is definitely a real guy. Song's adrenaline secretes wildly, and he feels that it is very decompressed. The corners of his mouth can't help but his nerves cocked, and he smiled at Shakira.

She won't pull the trigger.
