Chapter 133 (1/2)

”The good news is that this magazine does intend to change hands. The bad news is that he is now in ABC's hands and has been followed by someone, much stronger than your financial resources.”

At the end of the publicity tour of Seattle, the last stop on the west coast, Sonya returned to Chicago for a short rest. Hayden also found out the current situation of the magazine.

ABC (American Broadcasting Corporation) has been in a turbulent state of indigestion since it was swallowed up by metropolitan communications company, which has only a quarter of its market value in 1986. Therefore, ABC began to merge, split, restart, sell off its various brands In a word, I tried every means to revitalize the assets.

Americana music, the hapless man, suffered a complete set of twists and turns. First, it was randomly incorporated into the hi fi magazine, which specializes in the field of audio equipment, with only a few pages left in the magazine. Before the high fidelity magazine was to be sold, ABC split up Americana music, and then restarted its distribution. At first, it was a monthly magazine, but after the sales were bad, it turned into a bimonthly magazine and still lost money. ABC soon lost confidence and announced that it could be sold. At present, the buyer who is openly interested in taking over is well-known investor Littman.

”ABC, this is the end of it...” Song Ya is amused by the suffocating operation of ABC.

”Yes, ABC can't protect itself.”

Hayden threw Sonya some previous Americana music magazines. ”The version you see is bimonthly. At this time, the magazine has been compromising with the market. Otherwise, Columbia Records can't put the soft paper that flatters you into it. You can look at the previous version.”

Song Ya looked around casually. At that time, the single monthly edition could be described as a collection of all the elements that did not adapt to the times. The magazine focused its main content on classical music, opera and musicals. There was only a small space for pop music, which undoubtedly limited its audience. Moreover, since most of the celebrities in these industries are old, obituaries about who died will appear in magazines from time to time. I don't know whether it's tradition or other reasons. His family still likes to put obituaries in conspicuous places. When readers turn to the front pages, the news of the death of an eight or ninety year old performer comes into view, which greatly affects the mood.

”What does the editor in chief think?” Song Yaxin thought that if he really bought a hand, he would give the chief editor the first thing.

”The chief editors of the first magazines in the last century are in their sixties and stick to the tradition.” Said Hayden.

”Then the price of this magazine is not very high?” Song Ya asked.

Hayden shook his head with a smile. ”First of all, musical America is worth a lot of money, and then his family will publish an annual directory every year. Analogy is the bulletin board annual list of classical music, which is very authoritative in the industry. The potential buyer, Littman, has a lot of money. If you bid, it's not cheap. ”

”In short, inquire about the inquiry first...”

Song Ya left it to Hayden and went to his new home in Hyde Park with song a Sheng.

The house doesn't need to be moved. In a week, song a Sheng asked someone to simply tidy up the house. At present, in addition to the attic recording studio still under construction, there is no big problem for the residents on the first and second floors. The party service company is busy inside and outside.

”Alec, I never thought about living in a house like this.”

Aunt Susie is also there. She has been helping to decorate the room these days. Emily runs down from upstairs excitedly. ”I have selected the room. No one is allowed to rob it!”

More than a year later, at the age of 13, she was no longer small, and gradually looked like a big girl.

”There are so many rooms in m-fxxk that no one grabs from you!” Aunt Susie scolded, turning her head to song Ya's attitude was much more gentle, ”her grades are not good, do you know?”

”I know.”

Emily's grades are probably in the middle and lower reaches of the class, but song Ya doesn't care. She didn't stick to all kinds of bad habits like those girls in Nancheng public school. Maybe because of her own reasons, she is very interested in music. She has become a member of the school's Chorus, and she has been praised by the teachers.

“YO……”

Al came in from the outside. ”It's a nice place, but there's no pool.” He always said, ”it's weird for hip-hop stars to buy a luxury house without a swimming pool.”

“em……” Song Ya Yu Sai.

”You go and pick a room, al.” Aunt Susie looks at him much better now.

”Er I want to talk to... ”

Al scratched his head. ”Aplus, isn't your apartment still under lease?”

Song Ya understood that Al got to know a black girl on the way to propaganda. Instead of being flesh and blood, he probably came to play with his star chasing friends. In that way, his personality and family conditions seemed to be OK. ”There are still a few months left in the lease. When we move here, you can live in.”
