Chicago 1990

After being secretly dumped by Daniel, who was told to start a business together last time, and worked with as to seek the position of president of Sony Columbia Records, Doug Morris found himself trapped by these two guys again, put down the phone, and couldn't help being angry.

But he can't really expose Daniel. This incident was revealed by himself. It seems to him that he suspected that'the vinyl factory is very problematic, I plan to look back and check it out,' something like a drunk gossip. It was just a complaint at the time. Daniel was the president of the Riaa Copyright Dispute Committee and his friend. He didn't think it would go wrong at the time.

My friend, this word is ironic. He understands Daniel. He is very enthusiastic about playing this short-sighted conspiracy. He finally caught an opportunity to intervene in the fight of the tycoon on the cold bench of Riaa. He will definitely use it'good' to drain everything. A drop of value.

At the same time, he also knew that Daniel knew himself as well, and he was determined in this matter.

because……

"Haha, it's uncomfortable to apologize to someone, right?"

With a gloomy expression on his face, he didn't expect the little Bronfman to come out of the office. He saw this scene in his eyes. Fortunately, he misunderstood, "I have a new idea. After you finish the call, we will discuss it together. "

"Ok."

"On behalf of me, say something nice to them."

The little Bronfman blinked his eyes gracefully, turned and went back, "Oh yes." Before entering the door, he turned his head and reminded, "Just by the way, let them pass the ban as soon as possible."

My own boss...

The problem lies with the boss. After these two years of running-in, Doug Morris has probably figured out the other's ability, temper and temperament. As one of the richest family heirs in the world, the young Bronfman is better than some of his peers. It seems to be more decent and excellent, and the authentic character is indeed not bad. There are minor faults but it can be regarded as hard work. The demeanor of dealing with others is even better.

But in fact, in his bones, the young Bronfman is very arrogant, vain, narcissistic, with high eyes, and he is self-serving, careful and vengeful.

He talked about discussing, but he had better not really think that he would discuss with himself, and sincerely giving opinions would not end well.

It took a few losses before I knew how to be smooth, but it might be too late? If he knew that this trouble was caused by his own talk, the position would be hard to guarantee.

At this point, Doug Morris knew that he was far less liked by him than Ron Meyer, president of Universal Pictures. Ron Meyer was born as a caa agent? He had a lot of work? And he betrayed Ovitz that time? Gain deeper trust from Little Bronfman.

And as a senior manager who was taken in by Universal after the failure of Warner Records, he could not learn from Ron Meyer's low profile. The overall environment in Hollywood is better than the recording industry? Universal Pictures is more profitable than Universal Records? Far envious.

I can’t even learn from Barry Diller, the so-called media tycoon who has repeatedly fought and failed in the hands of Redstone. After going with the little Bronfman many times in the Global Television Network acquisition case? I don’t know how to use personality charm. Did the young Bronfman worship? He was cited as an idol and a guide.

Doug Morris thinks more and more difficult? One side is a well-known thorn but is making a major contribution to the performance of Universal Records? After the new monopoly is going to become the company's first brother as? And as is himself a tycoon? Self-made Chicagoans, heartbroken It also has the power to agitate the black community.

On the other side is such a boss who wants to assemble his banknote printing machine for no reason. He also wanted to break his head and did not think of the reason. It was clear that the relationship between the two sides was good before, although it is difficult to do as, but he will not be stupid to offend him! No motive? And the bad temper has really changed a lot after as waking up? This time it's just out of self-defense? Everyone knows that Litman Media's listing is near, and the ban is very fatal to their io.

That was a loss of tens of millions. Considering the end of Motula? Doug Morris felt like a mouse in a bellows if he didn't handle it well, he would be caught in the middle and get angry at both ends, unfortunately.

Must mediate! Nuclear bombs can't be bombed on Universal Music!

This should be the expected and expected response of Daniel and As, right?

"Hey, Rick."

In any case, first call the apology call. He first called the president of Sony Columbia Records, "I will let you know, it may be in the news soon. Our vinyl factory in California..."

"I just heard."

Riclubin was well-informed. "Thirty percent, 30ercent!" He emphasized dissatisfiedly, "Using your master tape, that kind of high-quality disc covers 30% of the West Coast pirate market, and continues To the world."

"We caught it. It's a good thing. It's not too late. You must have a similar situation with Sony Columbia Records. Look at your feet!"

Riclubin is considered a younger generation of **** luck. He used to be his subordinate when he was in charge of Warner. Doug Morris said quietly, "Anyway, I apologize to you on behalf of Universal and Mr. Bronfman, but in advance Explain that this matter is the private behavior of illegal employees, and we will fully cooperate with the police in handling it."

"All right, everyone understands."

"Also, about the advertising ban... Mr. Bronfman Jr. is urging again."

"We are headquartered in New York, Mr. Morris, there is a lot of pressure here, but Yahoo is the top card sought after by Wall Street. Look at the same stock price that day!"

Riclubin said, "Let’s deal with the piracy of physical records first, this is the big head."

"This will be your attitude when riaa meets?" Doug Morris was quietly relieved.

"Probably." Riclubin naturally received Song Ya's call.

"Ok."

Doug Morris called Warner Records again, but his family did not support it. After all, its parent company Time Warner has invested a lot in the Internet industry.

Doug Morris called Polygram, EMI, and B. Three European-backed companies. Regardless of vinyl, cassette or cd disc production, each company commissioned local factories to produce it depending on the sales area, between the six major companies. The partnership is like a mess.

"Mr. Bronfman Jr."

He returned to the boss's office, and the other party was standing in front of the file cabinet carefully looking up the information, "I have notified it and apologize."

"Well, look."

Little Bronfman pointed to somewhere in the file, "Our vinyl record sales are getting less and less profitable, right? That factory itself is already losing money."

No one else in the office, he should have found it from last year's financial report.

"Yes, vinyl has long been beaten by cassettes and CDs. The market is getting smaller and smaller, and the carrier material itself is limited."

Doug Morris nodded.

"Then what are you thinking about? It just happened to use this excuse to take the factory away, all the employees were dismissed, and the union couldn't say anything."

The little Bronfman snapped his fingers in a good mood, "How is my idea?"

"Yes, really good, wow, it can solve a big problem for us, and this year's financial report will look much better."

What a great ability, what a pity...

Doug Morris immediately complimented, "It should have been taken away long ago, I have always wanted to do this."

"Because you are afraid of unions, right?"

"Haha, yes, they give me a headache."

"I will support you this time and let go." Little Bronfman patted his arm. "By the way, what about the ban?"

"Uh, Warner and Sony Columbia asked us to solve the problem of physical piracy first..." He reported various feedback.

The corner of the little Bronfman's mouth curled, revealing a trace of displeasure, "So the attitude of the US is ambiguous, and Europeans like it, right?"

"Yes, I will strengthen communication with them again."

"Well, as soon as possible, go ahead." Little Bronfman waved his hand to see off the guests.

After Doug Morris came out, he began to meet with Interpol, fbi and the head of the vinyl factory who handled the case. At the same time, he carefully considered the action plan and finally picked David Geffen.

David Geffen retains a small amount of shares in both Geffen Records and Ca Records, the predecessor of Universal Records. There are many of his old subordinates in Geffen Records. He also has a share in the Universal Music copyright library. He himself also manages Universal Records. Job.

David Geffen, Katzenberg and Spielberg’s DreamWorks Pictures have Universal Pictures’ shares, 54 million take 2%, and the young Bronfman not only used this “small” investment generously It pushed the valuation of DreamWorks to 2.7 billion, and signed agency issuance contracts worth more than $1 billion, pushing the fortunes of David Geffen and others up.

In short, his level of trust by the young Bronfman is not weaker than Ron Meyer and Barry Diller, and because of the relationship between Geffen Records, he has an interest in A+ Records.

They are all old players in the recording industry and have the best relationship with themselves.

"Mr. Geffen, look at..."

He concealed a section of Daniel and told the hidden danger of conflict between Little Bronfman and As he had observed.

"Mr. Bronfman Jr. won't really take ass."

David Geffen didn't seem to care much, "But as it's better to lower your body."

"As doesn't seem to want to bear it anymore. If this goes on, they will definitely turn their faces. No one knows Mr. Bronfman... You know his temper. A+ records are very important to us now. You did a good business at the time, especially as After waking up, his new professional..."

Doug Morris knows what is at stake.

"Impulsive young people, it is a headache..."

Although David Geffen has a small abacus, he is also unhappy to see the conflict beyond the control range, "Well, I will call as and ask first."

"Please, he listens to you very much."

"Ok."

David Geffen put down the phone, "What do you mean by Doug Morris? Ass did that thing at the vinyl factory, right?"

"He did it." A cronie said, "Litman Media has tens of millions in stock price fluctuations affected by the ban."

"As, is that you?" David Geffen also called for fraud.

"What am I?"

"What about the vinyl factory~www.ltnovel.com~what vinyl?" Song Ya played stupidly.

"I just got the news... Forget it, anyway, you don't have to intensify the conflict with Little Bronfman?" David Geffen said.

"I can't figure it out, Mr. Geffen, I called him, and to be honest, my posture has been very humble, but I still don't seem to get his understanding."

Song Ya was upset, "I don't even know what I did wrong!"

"Oh?"

"Really, I'll repeat it again, you see if there are any problems, I said... he said..."

Song Ya relayed all the phone calls, "You comment, now that Littman Media is about to io, the American music website is afraid that it will be bad news..."

"It doesn't look like a problem."

"Right? You have to help me. I just want to make records and do business honestly. I'm really wronged..."

"Then I will help you deal with it?"

"Of course! Thanks to Mr. Gefen, I will return!"

It was David Geffen who was good to deal with, Song Ya put down the phone and let out a long sigh of relief.
