"Thank you, Mr. lane. Your explanation is very good. Thank you very much for taking the time to accompany me to browse during your work Penelope said to the middle-aged man around him as he walked.

"It's all right, Miss Penelope. It's Mr. Adrian's order. It doesn't affect the work." Ryan Ferguson, CEO of MCM records, smiles and glances casually at her high Ting section. []

under Penelope's silk coat is a low Xiong thin shoulder dress. The pair of plump bimodals, which are not inferior to any NV people, squeeze out a deep ditch. Any man can't help but peek at it. However, Fergusson quickly narrowed his eyes and continued to take Penelope to visit the company. Although the NV people in front of him were charming, they were the NV people of his boss.

"Maybe you want to go to the studio. We have one of the best recording devices in the United States." Said Ryan.

"Now? Is that all right? " Penelope was surprised. "Isn't ed supposed to be there now to supervise the recording?"

"No, not today. There are no songs to record recently." Ryan smiles and waves his hand, but the frown and depression of that moment fall into Penelope's eyes. In fact, she did not let go of the small action of peeking at her Xiong department.

After touring the recording room, picking out some good Spanish songs and recording and singing them in person, Penelope finished his visit here.

"I have to say, thank you very much, Ryan. You are such a careful man." She praised each other so much.

"Thank you. I'm very careful when I work. I can't do it outside of work. I lose a lot every time I go to Las Vegas." Ryan sighed. S è, the God of depression, flashed by again.

He looked at the time and then apologized, "I'm sorry, Penelope, I'm going to the office - other book friends are reading it. There's a meeting to attend later

"It doesn't matter. I'll go back to the lounge myself, and ED will probably get through with it." Penelope said, understanding.

Back in the lounge, Adrian has not come over yet. The Spanish NV Lang picked up a magazine and read it. Even though it's just the face of her. But the eyes are also moving from time to time, do not know what is thinking. Finally, she stood up, several went to the water dispenser, poured a cup of water, and then took a breath, closed her eyes, frowned and worried.

At this time, m é n's voice rang. Adrian's voice followed: "I'm sorry, Pepe. I'm a little late."

"It doesn't matter." Penelope immediately turned around, and those abnormal gods s è on his face disappeared in a moment, only charming and Xing like usual. His acting was really good.

"Just for a while," she said with a smile. "Mr. Lane showed me around. I've browsed most of the places and recorded a few songs, which is a pity. I don't sing well at all

"Ryan is really good. When he retires, he can be a tour guide," Adrian quipped, then beckoned to her. "Come on, we're done here. Let's go shopping and have dinner together."

There's no big deal with the record companies. Avril's training as always out of s è, and as in memory, all kinds of guitars are used freely. Adrian has not advised her to practice more other musical instruments. She has also practiced some, but she is not as good as the guitar.

"This is the best instrument! This will be a musical instrument for my whole life Avril finally waved his guitar and called. She's a little cheeky and masculine. She's very popular with record companies, so she's got a lot of support.

In this regard. Adrian can only shrug his shoulders. Anyway, she has prepared two songs for her. She can't release one first. Of course, it's not the time to tell her.

As for the company's reorganization, it is also in an orderly manner. When announcing the acquisition of universal music, Ferguson, Norton and others began to work on this issue. He came here to ask about it. It's mainly about Britney Spears and Christina, and the rivalry between them is almost open, both inside the company and in front of the public.

The most typical example is that after Britney Spears was signed by PepsiCo for a record 8 million endorsement fee at the beginning of the year, Christina immediately agreed to Coca Cola's invitation. Although the endorsement fee is not as much as that of Britney Spears, it can be seen from it. What's more, the two people usually talk about each other in front of the media, which makes entertainment reporters pick up a lot of money, so that when they interview one, they have to ask the other.

It's also true that Britney and Christina didn't deal with it since they were in MMC. From training to releasing records, they were full of competition. Now they are finally famous. What can we do if we don't try to suppress each other's voice? Finally, different from "ever", they are now in the same record company. No matter how ironic they are, they have a limit. Even if they express their dissatisfaction in front of reporters, they always maintain the line of "we are competing with each other".Of course, it's all Adrian's credit. He planned the relationship between Britney Spears and Christina. It's his credit that the two of them can control their mouths very well, so only in front of him will they stop. However, once he and the three of them are left, the two girls will compete more fiercely in some aspects.

"Ed, how about going to the nightclub together? There's a new one in Xilin. The environment is very good, and no one knows us." As Christina spoke, she knelt on the sofa and took Adrian's arm.

"Lord Ed, why don't we go to the movies, I think I want to see the beautiful legend of Sicily directed by you. Critics say it's very good Britney straddles his big Tui, and the whole person almost pours on him. However, her speech is a bit stuttering. She has been fully used to the title of "master", but she can't use this address when there are other people, so she can't speak fluently.

As they spoke, they exchanged their eyes from time to time, splashing nonexistent electric current in the air. However, Britney always subconsciously flows out a superior posture. After all, she's the only one who calls Adrian "master.". Christina also hated her attitude, but she didn't know how to compare her, so she went on to please Adrian.

Adrian was basically impartial to them. Of course, they never express their opinions easily. It's a pleasure to watch them compete with each other to express themselves. As for pacification, it's OK to talk about it in Si.

If there's any regret, it's Britney's $8 million Pepsi endorsement fee. Because of his intervention, the 18 million sales of the first album and 22 million sales of the second album caused Pepsi Cola to charge an additional 1 million endorsements - because this figure was more than MJ paid for Pepsi's endorsement, Adrian remembers very well.

However, if PepsiCo invites for another year in the evening, it will cost 10 million. Adrian has a big plan for Britney this year as a small pet reward. So it's a pity.

In addition, there is a small bonus, Jessica Simpson "ran into" Adrian and courted him.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Adrian." After "recognizing" Adrian, she said with great enthusiasm.

Jessica Simpson released her debut album at the end of the year, though not as popular as Britney Spears and Christina, after she made her debut last year by singing the theater version of pet Jing Ling. So far, the global sales volume has exceeded double hundred gold, which is also a good result for an NV singer. Naturally, Simpson wanted to go one step further. Naturally, Adrian became her target.

Although Britney Spears and Christina are very competitive, they still keep a certain distance from Adrian in front of many people, and their specific relationship with him is only clear at a few senior levels. But because of Adrian's resounding reputation, many people have been speculating, and Britney and Christina can't ignore him like passers-by when they keep a distance from him. Proper intimacy is always there. Therefore, a little investigation and a little analysis can draw a conclusion.

Even if you can't say it. In the company, it is necessary to spread the following Si, not to mention the two Popular Idols NV singer's most popular songs have Adrian ch ā hand, Simpson want to get his appreciation is not surprising - other book friends are reading.

If Penelope hadn't been waiting for him, Adrian would have talked to her for dozens of minutes, coaxing her to dinner. Britney and Christina don't care. They only see each other at the moment. But now I can only say a few words. It doesn't matter. Adrian gives a hint in his words, let Simpson think for himself, and as long as she's here, she'll open the double Tui for him.

Adrian soon returned to Kansas to continue the shooting of bones in winter. Natalie's state slightly fluctuated, but it didn't affect the shooting too much, and the progress was still smooth. Then, before the 72nd Academy Awards, he got a bad news from Claude.

"Sony Records issued an offer to purchase MCM records publicly?" After receiving the news, Adrian, who rushed back from Kansas, came to Claude's office and asked again.

"Yes, their target is our record company. They have a s è strategy, don't they?" Claude was not flustered, but his brow was inevitably frowned. "First, we blocked our acquisition, and then we used the way of raising the share price to hold up our working capital. By hiding behind Disney and Warner, he secretly collected the shares of MCM records company. When he got the right opportunity, he took the copyright of the record company, and there was more than what they wanted 。”

"Sony Group acquiesced to their actions, but only by default, so my trial in Japan failed. But Sony America and Sony Pictures supported it. Otherwise, they would not have said Disney, Warner and News Corporation." Adrian was thinking about something else."News Corp. doesn't have to worry about it. They are mostly just flag waving spectators to see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Unfortunately, Warner is dragged down by AOL. If it is them who send out an offer to buy instead of Disney, we may need more Jing power to pay them, so as to further ignore this side." Claude shrugged. "It's Viacom. I don't know what leishidong is thinking. They've been bystanders before."

"It will soon be known. In the past, they could watch on, but now that this happens, they must take a stand. I still think Lei Shidong will make the right choice -: " Adrian shook his head.

"But we have to show enough strength first." Claude opened his hand. "The only good news now is that they underestimated the money we had in hand, and it was right to cover up the benefits of the IT bubble. What's more, what kind of reaction would Disney and Warner have if they knew Sony had taken it as a stepping stone. "

"Someone in the board of directors of the record company has been moved, otherwise Sony won't get control." Adrian thought and said. "Who would it be?"

"It takes time. We don't have much time," Claude looked at him. "And don't you think it's strange, ed? Their actions are too strong for Xing. Sometimes they seem to know what we are going to do. "

"Are you sure?" Adrian couldn't help picking his eyebrows. He knew what Claude was talking about.

"Not too serious. But it's not to be underestimated, and I've had an internal investigation. " Claude made a gesture. "There is such a guy, but he can't touch anything too high, so he hasn't moved for the moment."

"Others? And more than one... " Adrian rubbed his chin. "It's a bit of a problem. What if you can't find it in a short time?"

"The safest way is to increase investment. That's the key to the success of the acquisition, but then we have to adjust our strategy next, unless you're willing to raise more capital. " Said Claude analytically. "I can get 0.5% more."

"No more than two years." Adrian shook his head. "For now, the priority is to talk to the directors of MCM records."

Unexpectedly, the directors of MCM records unanimously supported AC media, and art director Eric Norton even called Adrian as soon as Sony made an offer. I want to move forward and backward with the company. This is not a good thing. Judging from the current situation, there must be some people who are attracted. Otherwise, Sony's acquisition is just an investment. If not everyone is drawn in - other book friends are reading. Then the other party is very smart and hides himself among the directors. It's not easy to find out in a short time.

It is comforting to note that Britney and Christina, as two popular super idol singers of the record company, have no reservation to support them, which shows that Adrian has trained them very well.

"Who do you think it will be, Charlie?" Adrian, who was sitting in a high back chair with his twin Tuiji ā o forks on his desk, gazed out the window and told his NV secretary that he had nothing to hide.

"You should ask Martin Mortimer about this, not me." Charlize shrugged as he put the papers in order in front of him.

"It's been checked by Martin, but it's going to take at least two or three weeks. Sony records are very tight, we don't have much time," said Derian, standing up, hugging her waist from behind, and taking a deep breath on her neck. "You're no one's smarter, and you're careful and careful. Charlie, maybe you can see what I or Claude ignored."

"Do you really want to know what I think?" Charlize stopped what he was doing, then slapped his soft hand off and watched him ask.

"Of course." Adrian also raised the lower hand on her upturn to show her attitude.

"Wait for me." Charlize left the sentence and went out with a document in his hand.

"Is this?" Adrian took over and looked at her in surprise.

"Your schedule for a month and a half." Charlize said.

He frowned for more than ten minutes, and then he looked at me again Well, it's easy to make sure. "

Sony records announced a high-profile acquisition of MCM records, especially when AC media was purchasing universal music, which immediately aroused great repercussions in the industry and attracted many eyeballs. What makes people surprised is that in this competition, Sony records are stepping up step by step, giving no opportunities to AC media. While AC media keeps retreating, it is holding on to global music, which is in a dilemma.

"I'm very sincere and confident. I don't think it's a bad thing, do I?" At the second negotiation, Thomas motola, CEO of Sony records, told Adrian and Claude a little smugly.Joseph Waddell, who is the COO of MCM records, sits next to him, apparently selling his shares to one of Sony's directors, and believes that motola has given him a lot of good.

"Don't worry, Mr. motola. It's not until the last minute. No one knows who the winner is." After the fruitless negotiations, Adrian told motola that when he left.

"Of course, but I'm sure it will be me." Motola replied.

"Not only Joseph, but also others, Joseph's shares are not enough to give Sony an absolute advantage." In the caravan back home, Claude said to Adrian.

"Motola's assistant, the Japanese, Sam Tanaka, has seen us on our left twice in the whole process, perhaps in one of them?" Adrian recalled.

It's normal that neither of them said anything about Waddell's betrayal. It's perfectly normal for a man like him to turn to whoever offers high.

"Ivan Molina, Ryan Ferguson, Eric Norton At least one person can be trusted. " Claude said suddenly.

"Yes," Adrian nodded and then laughed, "and since you're sure, you can..."
