Chapter 878: Bracelet Island

The Gulfstream plane landed slowly at the international airport on Grand Bahama Island. Taraji and Linda put on long tropical skirts and ran down the ramp cheering.

Song Ya yawned for a long time, and he and Hayden also put on the Hawaiian style shirts, "It's not as warm as I thought."

"It's January."

Hayden replied that when Old Mike and Mavota walked ahead with their suitcases, they also left the cabin. Mariah Carey's female assistant was waiting below with a concierge car, and the group got into the car and headed towards the port. Rush to go aboard the yacht that Mariah Carey bought when she got engaged.

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

The boat kept sailing south, smelling the fishy and sweet west Atlantic sea breeze, Song Ya and Hayden leaned on the railing and looked at the blue sky, Hayden enthusiastically introduced: "Many celebrities have bought islands here, look, then The island on the other side belongs to Bernard Arnott, the chairman of LVMH, and further south, we will pass the island that David Copperfield just bought, and the family of Kennedy Jr.'s wife..."

Song Ya was not in the mood. He couldn't help but think that his trip started from the Malibu seaside villa, which once belonged to the Maxwell family who controlled the British Mirror Group, and the tycoon Robert Maxwell himself was traveling on a yacht. Died at sea for unknown reasons...

"I'm going to stay in the cabin for a while."

It’s just like that after watching the tropical island for a long time. Song Ya felt bored and a little nervous. After the so-called treason case broke out, didn’t Goodman warn some people to deal with him decisively? Maybe it is really possible, danger always comes from unknown directions, 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 we land at an airport closer to Bracelet Island? "

"Gulfstream 4SP can't, small aircraft can."

This is the trouble of losing Cuba. Whether it is products, tourism resources, infrastructure, people's quality, or strategic location, Cuba is the best in the Caribbean, with casinos, bars, beaches, coastlines, natural and cultural scenery... almost Bahamas , Las Vegas, Atlantic City complex.

It used to be a resort resort that the American middle class could afford. American industry giants such as agriculture, tourism, wine making, tobacco, and even the mafia had made large-scale investments there, but the benefits were basically lost to American capital and Cuba. The ruling class in China was divided, and the gap between the rich and the poor was extremely alarming, and then everyone knew what happened.

Americans have special feelings for Cuba. Even though the embargo has long been in place, wealthy Americans are still proud of being able to get smuggled Havana cigars. Politicians are always thinking about how to regain control there, and they have never given up until now.

The voyage is long,

Linda, Taraji, and some bodyguards who had no mission all put on bikinis or beach shorts and lay down on the deck to enjoy the sunshine and vacation. The waiter on board delivered cocktails, and Hayden also played outside for a while before following Entering the cabin, "Don't you want to bask in the sun? APLUS, the scenery is so beautiful, maybe you can get some inspiration. Have you started preparing a new song?"

"No."

Song Ya has never been able to adapt to the Western people's love of basking in the sun. As for the new song... "I have prepared two songs. It's not in a hurry, it's still early."

The only apocalyptic songs that I haven’t given out yet and are suitable for me to sing are Low, in addition to two rock songs Voodoo and No Sleep 2nite, a gospel chorus Baba Yetu, and two avant-garde minors COPYCAT and i love you I didn't even think about how to deal with it. No, Voodoo will definitely make a commercial song for 3DFX's 3D accelerator card of the same name, but for whom? Is it to invite a famous rock band, or to sign a rookie band with A+ Records?

But A+ Records as a hip-hop and R&B label signing a white rock band is not so good...

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

"No, keep it secret for now..."

With less than a year left to terminate the contract with Sony Columbia Records, the speed of the musical apocalypse seems to have slowed down, but the movie clips are much more messy, and I don’t have much to ask for, “You and Dono Wan and William Morris have to plan for my future." He reminded Hayden, "Is there any idea?"

"There are not many choices. You have already offended EMI and Polygram to death. If Sony Columbia Records is not considered, then only Universal Music, Warner Records and BMG are left. BMG has less influence in the United States, so the real potential buyers Only Universal and Warner..." Hayden reported.

"The signing bonus must be in line with my coffee status, and there may even be a premium."

He signed a contract with Sony Columbia Records when he debuted, but he didn't get a penny of the signing bonus. Now it is different from the past.

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

Hayden said: "Can you accept half of A+ Records being controlled by a giant? If you are willing, then 50% of the shares can be sold for a good price."

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

"Then it's not easy to talk about. You know... Uh... APLUS, as a singer, you have a bad reputation for cooperating with record companies." Hayden said cautiously.

"I know."

This is indeed the case. Song Ya also knows that he has tossed Sony Columbia Records executives and even the management. All this is undoubtedly seen by other giant executives in the record industry. It's your William Morris problem, otherwise why would I share so much brokerage share with you?"

"I know, I know, Donovan and I, as well as the entire William Morris will do our best for your change of record company." Hayden nodded repeatedly.

"Um."

Chatting and chatting, the main island of Bracelet Island appeared on the skyline. The name of the island was changed by Mariah Carey, because the main island and a circle of coral reef islands formed a circular island chain like a bracelet, which was very beautiful, especially from From an aerial view.

Hayden bought this ring of islands and the money paid to the Bahamas government for miscellaneous things, as well as the original facilities on the island, which cost a total of more than 7 million dollars, and then the renovation of buildings, docks, etc. cost more than 5 million dollars.

"This island is the largest and most beautiful among the surrounding islands. The small island next to Patti Labelle is not enough to see compared to ours!"

Hayden has been busy here for a long time, standing at the bow of the boat and proudly introducing them one by one, "The pier was designed by a well-known designer in Miami. Building materials have to be shipped in from outside, as are the workers. Mrs. Song also let me work on the island I have set up a small tropical farm, and I have hired people to plant ornamental plants and even vegetables and fruits..."

"Yeah, yeah." Song Ya pouted and agreed, this island may be a 'one-off' for me, because I may not be able to come to play after divorce, "It's so expensive once." Sexual items...' He couldn't help secretly feeling pain.

"Wait, why are there so many people?"

When the yacht approached the pier, Linda saw the water houses in the distance, that is, the holiday cottages built in the sea, where people were crowded. Almost every house was filled with people. Come.

"Didn't Mrs. Song tell you? She invited a lot of friends, most of whom are in the fashion industry. After learning that she was nominated for six Grammy awards, she planned to order six unique evening gowns for the awards. And godmother Patty Friends of Labelle and Patty, celebrities and rich people living in nearby islands also often come to play."

Hayden said with a smile: "Including her singing group, thirteen suites and seven water houses are not enough to live in."

"Prodigal...forget it."

Song Ya lost her temper. Anyway, she will only stay for a few days, and she will return to Los Angeles after the AMA Awards Ceremony.

The yacht is slowly docking, and the pier is also specially designed. The cross-shaped white wooden boards extend straight from the edge of the island into the sea. It is very harmonious with the blue sea so clear that you can see the coral reefs and swimming fish on the bottom of the sea, and the white lighthouse not far away. .

"Mimi..."

Song Ya followed Old Mike and Hayden onto the pier, and at a glance she saw Mariah Carey, who had come to pick her up arm in arm with Patti Labelle. She covered her bikini with a scarf and held a bag in the other hand. Seems like a baby carrier.

"No, so fast?" He was taken aback.

"Quick what?! Where's your brain? What's your common sense? How can you be so fast!"

Mariah Carey, who arrived here ten days earlier, was obviously tanned a lot. She was in a very good mood. She walked forward arrogantly and showed Song Ya the basket. "Here, it's a dog..."

Glancing inside, there was indeed a newborn puppy lying in the basket. Judging by the color, it should be the breed of the two Jack Russell terriers. Song Ya immediately rolled his eyes.

"I like this place very much." Mariah Carey suddenly stood on tiptoe and gave him a big kiss on the cheek, "I like this place the most among the gifts you gave me." She said.
