Chapter 460 (1/2)
The consumer electronics industry is very busy. After the meeting was held for some time, one of the senior executives in attendance was called away by his secretary, and some people kept bringing documents for schulhof to sign. The venue also fell into a sticky, or meaningless, stage.
”You know, I have a low-cost clothing company. If you choose to continue to die, maybe I will print Sony logo on the back of a five dollar T-shirt, and make a cross like that anti war logo on it, and then mark small words like racist criminals...”
Most of the time it's song Ya who says he's doing his best to pressure.
”Ha ha ha.”
Shuerhov looked away from the document in his hand, pulled down the Presbyopia mirror, and looked at Song Ya with his head down. ”You will be bankrupt by us, son.”
”Don't be angry, aplus.” Vice president of legal affairs also said.
”It's not anger, it's not business, it's a matter of clear principles. You're clearly trying to protect discriminators.” ”Zero tolerance of discrimination is an obligation of African Americans,” Song said
”Mr. takashu.” A female clerk came in and went to the high tree and spoke in her ear.
Tall tree got up and followed her to the door. ”Aplus, be sure to think calmly. I left in advance.” When passing by song ya, he apologized slightly and left with a word.
”So are you taking me seriously?” Song Ya complained with open arms.
”Go on, we're listening.” The vice president of legal affairs responded.
”What did I say? Oh, yes, T-shirt, er Instead of talking about T-shirts, I'll say that I, just me, have to think about the choice between me and motura. ” He continued to boast: ”I have a youth song and dance film coming out next year, which will definitely sell well. The soundtrack of the whole movie will be composed by myself, and about 16 songs will be released by Sony Columbia Records.”
”There are a lot of my solo songs that will be put into my second major. In addition, I have prepared a lot of good songs and excellent songs. When the time comes, I can make a second major that sells more than the” a + ”one. I can even make a double disc version with a high price. Sony Columbia Records will make a lot of money with me. Trust me.”
”Don't laugh, and don't doubt my ability. The critics who predicted that my talent would be exhausted after my first major were beaten hard in the face by a London Bridge, which won the weekly top of the B-list and won the first white female hip-hop singer Fergie.”
Goodman reminded him in his ear, ”Okay, aplus, they're not listening.” Shufu hall was sulking over some unknown document, his fingers tapping on the table unconsciously
Only the vice president of legal affairs was listening attentively, so song Ya changed the object of conversation to him. There was no way to retreat, he could not admit defeat, and he could not even be seen as lacking in confidence. He kept talking and talking, trying to impress these people in front of him with a certain sentence. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, ”you can't delay. Do you know what motura is doing these days? He's making negative news about me and taking my records off the shelves in disguise. He even wants to deal with other singers of my record company, such as Fergie... ”
”He put personal resentment above the interests of the company. He always did it. If he hadn't obstructed me in 1991, my first album would have been listed earlier and sold better. All of these have caused loss to the income of the record company. In the intuitive sense...”
”He also tangled with the Italian gangs. Before, I only thought it was a rumor. This time, diva, the singer under his banner, and Maria Kelly, his ex girlfriend, used Italian connections. Two of the three arrested were of Italian origin.”
”He launched a small agent to cover the crime, also of Italian origin, which shows that he began to panic. Eavesdropping is a federal felony. You keep protecting him, and you will get into trouble when the truth comes out. What's more, have you ever thought that maybe he is such an old hand? Maybe he's not only eavesdropping on Maria Kelly, but maybe he'll use eavesdropping to gain benefits at the personnel level of the parent company... ”
In the meantime, two more executives left, and there were fewer and fewer people in the conference room.
”What time is it?” Song Ya asked Linda.
”It's half past eleven. It's not right, aplus.” Linda lights up her cell phone under the table to song ya. Maria Kelly's phone number is on. ”I'll go out and pick it up.” She said.
Song Ya nodded, ”can you give me an answer before lunch?” He asked the vice president of justice.
”Maybe not. We're evaluating it.” Answer.
”I don't see your actions. You just sit here and listen to me alone.” Song Ya continued to complain.
”Believe me, we're really assessing it.”
”I don't have much patience.”
”A day's time, isn't it?” The other side laughs.
Linda came back to play a secret signal at the door. Song Ya could not help but nodded, ”one day, based on your off-duty time. I'm sorry. I'll go out for a minuteHe went outside, found a remote corner and asked Linda, ”what's the matter?”
”Miss Kelly said...” Linda circled around warily. Not far from the corner, a female clerk was playing with the coffee machine.
They moved to the bathroom, and a male executive came out of the meeting room, standing at the sink, slowly washing his hands. ”Hey, can you give me some private space?”
The other party glanced at this side, did not pay attention, continued to wash his hands, in Song ya want to get angry before entering the men's bathroom.
”Fxxk, can you say that? Just say it. ” Song Ya feels here don't think of any private space, the other party obviously won't give the opportunity easily.
”Motura went to Proctor theatre again. He tried to retrieve Miss Kelly again, but she was still rejected by Miss Kelly. But she seemed to be a little soft hearted. She said that motura was crying in front of her and looked very pitiful and helpless...” Linda whispered, ”the original.”
”This son of a bitch, hard can't be soft.” After all, Maria Kelly was held up by motura. Song Ya knew that she was still reading some good things from each other. ”I believe Mimi, she won't have any problems at this time. I have repeatedly told her the interest.”
”Newman called and said Hamlin followed.
”Cough.” Song Ya coughed twice, pointing to the men's bathroom.
”Newman called and said Hamlin lowered his voice and said in his ear: ”Sony Columbia's personnel director is interviewing all the executives one by one and asking motura for a choice between you and motura. Motura's cronies have also begun to contact the owners and presidents of all its brands. It is estimated that they are also seeking support. The news is revealed by epic records
”The people inside are right. They are really evaluating it.” Song Ya nodded. ”Of course, they favor motura and deliberately delay time for motura. I didn't expect that.”
”Will you wait till the afternoon? Maybe we can leave at noon and they can do a lot of things in an afternoon Hamlin sighed.
”If I'm afraid to wait all afternoon, they'll be more inclined to motura.”
Song Ya bit his teeth. ”Let's go back and continue.”
As they walked back, the sound of flushing came from inside. The senior executive wiped his hands with a smile and followed song Ya back to the office.
”Any new progress?” Shufhall asked.
”No, my position will not change.” Song Ya returned to his seat.
”Do you want something to eat at noon? I'm old. I don't usually eat at noon. ” Shufhall continued to look back at the document in front of him.
”Sandwich will do, will you?” Song Ya found that there were fewer people in the conference room, and the vice president of legal affairs was closing his eyes.
Shufhall made a gesture, and his secretary got up and went out, and soon came back with a plate on which the sandwiches were cut into pretty little triangles, one by one.
No one wanted to start. Song Ya took a piece of it directly and put it into his mouth to replenish his energy. His mouth was dry all morning. He picked up the small mineral water bottle on the table, unscrewed the lid and drank it.
”You have a strong will, boy.” Shufhall's eyes cast over the presbyopia lenses.
”I'm fighting for the dignity of the African American community.” Song Ya answered solemnly.
It was not easy to answer, and shufhall looked at the document again.
Song Ya pushes the plate toward Linda and others. Linda refuses, and Hamlin shakes his head. Only Goodman eats with him.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, shufhall's secretary came in to collect the dishes, did some more cleaning, and whispered to him again.
”I'm sorry, you go on this afternoon. I'm in a hurry.” Shufhall is gone.
”Mr. vice president, has your so-called assessment come to a conclusion?” Song Ya was patient and took the initiative to open the second half.
”It should be soon.” Answer.
”If you let him go, I would even like to send an extra major on Sony Columbia Records, change the five-year contract of two majors to two plus one, and the last one is new songs and selections. The most creative period of my life will be dedicated to this company.”
”Believe me, I can create a lot more value for Sony Columbia than a senior manager. There are a lot of management talents in the United States, and singers who can create big selling albums are available but not available...”
Starting in the afternoon, he tried to make some concessions and write some bad checks.
”Senior managers like motura?” The other side heard this and laughed, ”Ben Zi capital can hardly meet such a one in America, but you want us to fire him.”
”It's good to be willing to communicate,” Sonya said. ”I think you already know my plan through some channel. Former SBK President Daniel glass is no worse than motura.”
”So you still want to step in with the successor of motura?” The other side asked.
”That's part of the condition that I came here, and if you change that position to one of motura's cronies, what would it mean to me and Maria Kelly?”He shook his head. ”Bring me a newspaper.” He asked his subordinates to bring the newspaper. He even held it up in front of his face and completely cut off the communication.
Song Ya was not reconciled. He swept around the conference room and made eye contact with a Book Executive. He immediately laughed at him and continued to talk, ”although I am young, I'm not joking. When things get big, it will definitely be a big blow to the reputation of your company. Just like the Rodney King case, African American groups will never tolerate people like motura...”
”Sueimas...” The other party, smiling, leaned over his seat and pointed to his ears as if he was apologizing, indicating that he did not understand English at all.
Song Ya took a deep breath, ”pen and paper.” Let Linda tear up a piece of paper and push her own meaning to write some Chinese characters.
The other party picked up the paper and looked at it. He immediately raised his thumb and praised him. However, he got up immediately, bowed all the way and left the room with apology.
”Fergie's call.”
Song ya did not move, and finally shut up. At two o'clock, he received a call from feiji.
”Hum...” The girl starts off the phone with a cold hum, ”have you found a new girlfriend? Is she willing to play multiplayer with you
”Er, cough, Fergie, what's the matter? I'm very busy now. ” Song Yagang walked out of the door of the meeting room and quickly stopped her talking about this topic.
”Just now Sony Columbia came to me and said a lot of strange things.”
”Inexplicable?”
”Well, I'll let Jimmy talk to you.”
”Mr. aplus, the people from defjam came to find Fergie, and they offered him a good offer to change the manager, leave Newman, and switch to defjam.” Jim reported.
”So? What terms did the other party offer, and what do you think of it? ” Song Ya asked.
”We refused.” ”Defjam's people have been bragging about their hip-hop tradition, saying that Fergie's influence in hip-hop will double when he goes to them, and so on,” he said
”Well, defjam has been losing money for several years in a row, and Russell Simmons wants to take the opportunity to help motura pry my men?” Song Ya looked at another person and followed him out. He simply didn't lower his voice. He said in a normal tone: ”I'm afraid he can't even afford to pay for the termination of Fergie's contract.”
”We didn't give them a chance to talk about termination payments.” Said Jimmy.
