Chicago 1990

Chapter 373: Clever gift-giving method

Baen Chemical, no, it’s now called Baen Company. Song Ya owns 80% of the shares and Northern Trust 20%. This 47 million income can be divided into more than 37 million, which is just right. Even if the initial purchase cost and the subsequent operation and equipment storage expenses are equal, he will also earn 8 million dollars out of the 10 million he paid in the future.

But the account is not calculated like this. For this acquisition, he borrowed 15 million from Northern Trust. The interest expense alone is a large sum, as well as the commission and working hours to be paid to Wing Dao, as well as Goodman. And the financial costs of Hamlin Law Firm, such as commissions and working hours, are only about 3 million dollars in my hands.

The fluorescer factory used to lose nearly three million yuan every year.

Therefore, the only profit from the business that caused him to be exhausted was only the remaining intangible assets such as the brand and patents of the Barn Company, and the fixed assets such as the land, plant and equipment of the fluorescent agent factory, which also accounted for 80%. .

It’s worth a factory in vain, saying that it’s also valuable, but now it’s more of a burden, if it can’t turn losses into profits next year.

The MV with the fluorescent party was released, and the effect has not yet been shown, and then the organizers of the slightly larger rave party will almost always receive the promotion fluorescent agent cans from Barn Company, the quantity is sufficient, and Song Ya's voluntary burden If you can’t increase the purchasing power as you wish, the loss will increase next year...

Anyway, Song Ya has done everything she can, and now she has to wait.

He has another 37 million in cash in his hand, plus about 40 million dollars in working capital already on his account. After two days, Sony Columbia Records will settle the second record revenue, but the money will be more. After borrowing the collateral of the Northern Trust loan, there should not be much left after the 15 million is paid off.

Fujibe Magazine estimated his income last year at more than 50 million, ranking fourth only after MJ, Madonna and Gasbrooks, and ranked fourth among singers. Madonna set up her own entertainment company this year and took it from the joint venture Warner. It has reached 60 million, and she also won the highest royalty share that a singer can get, 20%. Only MJ is the same as him. This kind of detachment will once again include Mariah Carey and other DIVAs. Rear.

In the afternoon tea restaurant of the Plaza Hotel, Song Ya casually opened the last issue of Amerika Music Magazine in 1992.

The cover character is YOYO, a Chinese cellist who chatted at the Grammy celebration dinner last year. He was again nominated for this year's Grammy. The inside pages of the magazine still maintain the same style and have changed, but most of them are made after I just bought the magazine.

"Last year I lost a lot." He said this to Shirley Fleming, who was sitting elegantly opposite. This old lady did almost nothing. The magazine lost two million a year, and she had to subsidize half of it.

The old lady put the tea cup down, "but sales have increased."

Sales have increased, with thousands of copies.

"The VIBE magazine of Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons was launched in January this year, and TheSource magazine, which focuses on hip-hop music, is also selling well." Song Ya reminded her.

"I don't look at those." The old lady nodded the Rolling Stone magazine on the dining table with her finger.

Song Ya sighed, picked up Rolling Stone Magazine and flipped through it. They defined their titles of the same name as one of the most worthy of the gods in 1992, and wrote a lot of beautiful words. Like the Rolling Stones, most music magazines and critics this year gave praise to the ‘A+’ album. The inconsistency of style is not a big disadvantage in their eyes. They value the quality and innovation of singles.

He was shortlisted for AMA's best rap and hip-hop singer this year, and he was nominated for Grammy's single of the year and best rapper by WhereIsTheLove. Only the AMA award is stable. Due to last year's deal, he was in Grammy this year. The meeting supported BABYFACE and Riklubin's relationship singer, it is not convenient to fight for themselves.

"Rikrubin came up with a special January issue to create momentum for his SirMix-a-Lot and the related band Red Pepper. He is willing to bear all the expenses for this issue."

The old lady asked: "What do you think?"

"I have no problem, you are the editor in chief."

Song Ya didn’t want to betray Riclubin. This guy swept away the stocks of other minority shareholders in Amerika Magazine last year. He really sold his favorability to this group of classical music circles. This year he has to pay back to others. Love, for the Grammy Awards, quite aspirational to win.

"He is smarter than you, little guy." The old lady revealed a message, "He plans to send this special issue to the Grammy judges for free, and will also include a red pepper and a CD of SirMix-a-Lot album with the book. CD."

"Can you still play like this?" Song Ya was surprised, "Is this a small amount of bribery? Two albums and a magazine are worth more than thirty dollars, right? More than 10,000 judges, his hand will cost four to fifty dollars. Ten thousand dollars? Huh!? Only four or five hundred thousand..."

Song Ya figured out that this was a good idea! Spending four to five hundred thousand to deepen the impression of all the judges, maybe it can also directly affect the voting tendency of some judges who love to be cheap, and the magazines such as Amerika Music that are very high in the past will not be offensive. Typical Spend a small amount of money to do big things.

"No, it's a gray area. In fact, I can't figure out the addresses of more than 10,000 judges, at most thousands of people." The old lady curled her lips and showed disdain for this behavior, but she definitely didn't. Objection, "So I said that Rick is smarter than you. This trick was played by the people in Hollywood earlier. The Weinstein brothers of Miramax Pictures are expert, and they often send various kinds to the Oscars and Cannes judges. Kind of little gift."

"Ok."

Song Ya, the Weinstein brother, had heard of it and never met him. He had a good personal impression of these two Hollywood bigwigs. First of all, these two brothers are the models for small film companies to survive in Hollywood, and their production and distribution are both fun. They often have the right to distribute films with both artistry and box office performance. They are frequent visitors of major film awards.

Secondly, like David Geffen, they are hard-core supporters of the Donkey Party. They waved the flag for Arkansas in the general election last year and called out people to pay. They established personal friendship with the Arkansas couple very early.

In the end, they are also very friendly to Huaguo movies. They distribute Huaguo movies in Beimi almost every year. In recent years, they know about Judou, Shuanglonghui, Xiaoaojianghu, Flying Eagle Project, etc...

The trick they invented to ‘buy’ the judges is very easy, and they can learn it by themselves, and forget it this year, because they wanted to pay back the favors of last year and didn’t want to fight.

This guy Rick Rubin is interesting...

"So be it."

One million a year, I can still afford it.

After learning that there was this kind of award-winning routine, Song Ya took a higher look at the magazine. Before meeting, he had prepared some requirements for Shirley Fleming to continue to move closer to the trend, but he didn't even take it out. The grid is very important, otherwise the magazine will appear low when sent out.

"The style of the magazine in 1993 remains unchanged?" Shirley Fleming asked.

"No change. By the way, I'll find out more about the addresses of other Grammy judges, please."

Song Ya got up and said goodbye to the old lady~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She still sat and didn't mean to move, drinking afternoon tea was normal for them to spend a few hours, and it was still early to leave.

Song Ya didn't have the kind of leisurely sentiment, "Have you made an appointment with MJ?" After getting in the car, he called Donovan.

"His agent Sandy Glen said that MJ is very tired, and the global tour has overwhelmed his body, so he needs to rest."

Donovan answered.

"What...what do you mean? I went to the Dream Manor to visit, and he didn't want to spare some time to talk?" Song Ya was a little upset, the King of Pop had too much air.

"I'll find a way to bypass Sandy Glen and ask MJ directly. Those agents and lawyers are really annoying, and I don't know if MJ made the decision if I didn't see you." Donovan said.

"Okay, as soon as possible, I will start school soon." Song Ya said.

"..."

Donovan on the other end was silent for a while, "I will try my best. You wait for my message."
