Chicago 1990

Chapter 231 Motura's Sneak Attack

"I want to get involved too."

"Really? Then I welcome it, but is it okay to enter with your financial situation?"

"Uh, ahem..."

Rick Rubin stopped pretending, and quickly put the phone away from Song Ya's ear, got up and walked to a distance to whisper to Littman.

"It seems that he can indeed influence Littman." Yeremov said in a low voice: "His Def is under the label of Warner Records. In 1990, he gained a firm foothold with the group's blockbuster album ShakeYourMoneyMaker."

"But his joining will also increase the hostility of Russell Simmons." Song Ya was making a decision in his heart. There were advantages and disadvantages to accepting the other party's money, depending on whether the advantages outweighed the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

"Russell Simmons' DefJam Records is 50% owned by Sony Columbia Records." Yeremov said: "Maybe you can ask Motura for help, after all, you are very popular now."

"My record company does not belong to Sony Columbia Records. Speaking of which, DefJam Records is much closer than A+ Records." Song Ya shook her head.

"It can't be calculated like this..." Rick Rubin hung up the phone and came back, but Yeremov didn't continue.

"Let's be honest, APLUS, as you heard just now, I can't give much cash, so let's not go around in circles. I will contribute 100 to 1.5 million, but I need to take a little more equity because..."

He shook his phone, "My special influence."

"No problem, but it's really only a little bit more." Song Ya used his thumb and index finger to draw a hair-thick distance.

"Aren't you going to add some more?"

"Unless you can verify your special influence."

"That's too troublesome, I just want to see Russell Simmons's distraught expression..." Rick Rubin shook his head.

"Is it really just for that?" Yeremov said. "Def, Musical, the names of these two brands match, don't they?"

"Okay, okay, let's officially start the detailed negotiation, a little bit."

The motive was uncovered by fellow Jews, and Rick Rubin impatiently ended the conversation.

Shirley Fleming was delighted to have more people in, since her main goal was to buy back the magazine and become her editor-in-chief again.

"After the adjustment after the three-party negotiation, you contributed 5.5 million to take up 51% of the shares, Shirley Fleming and her friends contributed 2 million to take up 29% of the shares, Rick Crew Bin invested 1.5 million, accounting for 20% of the equity, and has corresponding management rights. You gave up part of the equity, but the controlling stake is still yours. Generally speaking, you will have the final say in the future of the magazine, except for Hexue Fleming mandates, such as maintaining the independence of the yearbook judging committee."

Accountant Yongdao handed the prepared documents to Song Ya, "They have signed it."

"Motura asked you to go to his office." Taraji came in to report.

Song Ya put down the pen she was going to sign, "Could he be looking for me for this matter?"

"I don't know." Taraji replied, "It was his secretary who called me."

"Should we wait until we have finished talking with him before signing?" Yeremov asked.

"Well, wait for me to come back, anyway, don't worry about these few hours."

Song Ya rushed to the headquarters of Sony Columbia Records and met Motura in the top-level president's office.

This is the first time the two have met here after their conflict. The relationship between the two parties is no longer as good as before. Instead of pouring wine and chatting first, Motula sat behind the desk with a straight face all the time. Deputy businessman's attitude.

"Russell Simmons called me and said you were fighting him for American Music Magazine?"

Sure enough, it was because of this.

"Yes, but this magazine was the one I followed first, and he is a latecomer. Our bid will be in vain for Litman, the owner of the magazine." Song Ya sat in front of him, crossing her legs.

"He asked me for help and wanted you to cancel the action, he is an excellent producer and label owner under our banner.

"

Motula picked up the microphone and handed it over, "You can chat with him here."

"I don't think so?" Song Ya didn't answer, shrugged and said: "I have promised him not to cause additional trouble, I will only bid once, and then I will not bid with him again."

Motura put the mic back. "But you're working with Warner's Rick Rubin, and that's not in the interest of Sony Columbia Records."

"He is also working with Quincy Jones, that old guy has been slandering our MJ, and Quincy Jones' entertainment company is also owned by Warner."

Song Ya confronted each other.

Motura sneered from his nostrils, "So you think you can ignore my opinion?"

"Do you also want to take care of business activities other than records?"

"So you want another war?" Motura looked straight at him.

"I thought we were already repairing the relationship, instead of drifting away..." Song Ya felt that the situation was not right, and said something soft.

Motura smiled, "That depends on how much effort you put in."

"I've been working hard, Mr. Motura."

"That's good." Motura threw over a document, "Mimi will hold an unplugged concert on MTV in March, and I want to use that song EmpireStateOfMind (Part II), which is the pure female version of EmpireStateOfMind, as her One of the songs sung, and then released a live version of the EP."

"But our agreement is that this song will appear in her 1993 album."

Song Ya got the exchange terms from the other party, and felt a little upset, "You have suppressed the chorus version of me and Mimi for several months, and if her solo version is released so early, how will the sales loss of my chorus version be calculated? Times Square New Year's Eve And the next AMA live performance will gather momentum, and it will be diverted by the solo version in March, don’t think I don’t understand these things.”

"Aren't you and Mimi best friends? Forget about that."

"What if I disagree?"

"Then if you don't get that magazine, even if you do, you will be smeared by Russell Simmons and Quincy Jones afterwards. Maybe I will help."

"What if I agree?"

"Then I can guarantee Russell Simmons they will accept defeat calmly."

"FXXK..." The conditions are not bad, Song Ya cursed in a low voice, got up and walked out the door, "I will sign, but it's not because I'm afraid of your threats, but for Mimi's singing career. "

"Hahaha! When you concentrate on fighting your opponent, be careful not to show your ass, BOY!"

Motura, who thought he had a plan, suddenly laughed wildly, "Go into the studio and record with Mimi as soon as possible!" He shouted at Song Ya's back.

"I will, I will accompany her well..." Song Ya glanced back at him and said to herself.

"Hi Mimi."

He chatted on the phone and went back to his home in Tribeca, "Are you ready? The solo version of Empire State Of Mind..." He signed the acquisition documents one by one.

"Thank you, APLUS!"

Mariah Carey was very happy, and even acted coquettishly on the other end of the phone, "I just heard about Tommy, and I'm not ready yet. But I'm going to change some of the singing of that song, can I?" "

"No, no Mimi, don't even think about it."

"Just a little, a little..."

"Don't even think about it!"

"Why are you like this!?"

"I've always been like that in the studio, I'm the producer."

"tyrant."

"Whatever you say."

"Then I'll raise a tune."

"no."

"On a."

"Mimi..."

"Please mess with..."
