Chapter 201 Slap in the face is not overnight
"Ahem." Taraji, who was sitting at the far end of the long table, coughed twice to cover up her almost laughing.
Motula had a straight face and still didn't speak.
"Well, this is the authorization document for Coopers & Partners to act as an agent for Mr. APLUS's record business." Samuel went directly into the work process, "Then this is the list of projects we will audit, and..." One of his subordinates
He stood up and distributed several prepared documents to the Columbia Records attendees.
Motula put his hand on the document cover and looked at the staff on his side.
In the conference room, the sound of shuffling papers lasted for about ten minutes. Columbia Records' lawyers and financial staff looked at each other and said, "There is basically no problem." The lawyer confirmed.
"Cooperate." Motura stood up and left. When he came to the door, he turned his head and glanced at Song Ya sharply.
"He's about to explode." Donovan said in Song Ya's ear.
"He forced me." Song Ya was a little helpless that things turned out like this.
"Any company will be angry if it is suddenly audited by a top accounting firm." After the brief preparatory meeting, the Yongdao people were arranged to stay in a small office, with just a desk, and everyone was sitting around it. There are only six workstations at most, and there are a lot of sundries in the corner of the room. Samuel smiled and said: "Sony Columbia records are pretty good. I even stayed in the storage room to clean it. There was no air conditioning. Every time I came home from get off work, They all smell like sweat and chemical detergents.”
"I'm going to have to work hard for you this time." Song Ya knew that the other party was almost a top figure in the accounting world, but she didn't expect that the treatment he would receive during the audit would be so cruel. "When my personal accountant came over, he still had an office to himself.
."
"Haha, because we can really find out something fishy." Samuel smiled, "Let your lawyer be on call 24 hours a day, ready to handle litigation at any time."
"We're in." Goodman and Hamlin nodded.
"Am I enjoying A-List treatment in advance?" Song Ya joked. He remembered Goodman saying that A-list stars have to deal with five to ten lawsuits a year, but his current number is still zero.
The expressionless Sony Columbia Records financial staff walked in one after another, put down cardboard boxes full of documents and turned around to leave.
"We are going to start work." Samuel said to Song Ya: "According to the financial transactions between you, the only sales share that Sony Columbia Records has performed is the first one million records of I Feel It Coming that have been sold in the United States.
We will focus our energy first on this financial transaction."
"How long will it take?" Song Ya asked.
Samuel looked at his colleagues around him and said, "It's not clear yet. It depends on the cooperation of the other party." The general partner from New York with record audit experience said: "For a large company like Sony Columbia Records, its
The channel structure is extremely complex, including not only relatively intimate channels such as Columbia Club, but also various record retailers.
Regular distribution channels, as well as other distributors, marketing activities in magazines and other media, some special promotions and advertising gifts, etc. In addition, overseas distribution is owned by Sony Records, and Sony has different branches and partners in Asia and Europe.
...The marketing costs and record selling prices of each channel are different, and it is very difficult to clarify all this."
"We will go all out." Samuel added, "Don't worry, they won't deliberately falsify accounts or hide anything for us. They can't afford the consequences of being caught with evidence. At most, they will use massive data to slow down our work.
Efficiency consumes our will."
"Then please."
Song Ya shook hands with them respectively, "I'm staying at home in Tribeca. I won't go anywhere for the time being. If the phone is busy, just call the landline there, or any of Hayden's and theirs' phones."
Saying goodbye to Samuel who was at work, Song Ya returned to the recording studio to join Fergie. The two were packing their things with the help of Taraji. Walt opened the door and came in with a look of disbelief, "What happened? Up there?"
Suddenly, i hate u i love u’s record production and promotion plans were completely halted.”
"Why!?" Fergie exclaimed. Her hopes of becoming famous all depended on this single!
"I don't know." Walter shrugged. He saw that Song Ya didn't show any surprise, "APLUS, is there anything I don't know?"
"It's nothing, Walter, just stop for now."
Song Ya didn't want Walter and others with whom she had a good relationship to get involved, so she patted his arm and said, "Keep an eye on the master tape for me, thank you."
He and Taraji coaxed Fergie, who had begun to cry, out of the studio.
"Hey! What do you mean?!" Walt asked from behind.
"This is none of your business, Walter!" Song Ya waved her hand and did not look back.
In front of the car driven by Old Mike in the underground parking lot, he told Goodman and Hamlin: "Prepare evidence. If Columbia Records freezes my single beyond the contract period, initiate a lawsuit immediately." He received a positive answer.
Finally, he got into the car and drove away with Goodman and others who were in other vehicles.
He turned around in the back seat and stared at the towering black skyscraper, "Is this the evil dragon?" he thought to himself.
"What happened?"
"Why did the announcement suddenly stop?"
"Honey, talk!"
Fergie was talking and crying beside her, "Renee and the others will definitely laugh me to death! Wuwuwu..."
"Reni?" Song Ya was so noisy that she had to hug her back and wiped away her tears, "Stop crying, it's just a small setback. Why does it involve Reni?"
"Well……"
The girl started to squirm, "Renee came to demonstrate to me last time and kept talking about her signing with RCA. There's no reason why I shouldn't give you some response, right?"
Song Ya suddenly realized that the relationship between girls was like this. In order to avenge the last time Reni came to demonstrate, Fei Ji probably called Reni to show off and sarcastically after making sure to issue the order.
"It's okay, it will be a few days later, or..."
He stopped talking as he spoke. The worst possibility is that the song might be frozen by Motura. After all, the other party would rather pay out five million than destroy himself. If the game ends with a net choice.
If you leave home...well, it's all because of Motura's timing. He waited until the release of this single and signed the contract before launching it. People who are slightly weak-willed or reluctant to part with this song will probably follow.
"Or what?" Fergie asked.
"It's okay, even if this song can't be released..."
"What!" Fergie was furious, "What do you mean you can't get distribution!?"
"Calm down, girl!" Taraji in the passenger seat turned around and shouted: "The entertainment industry is not that simple! The enemies APLUS faces are very powerful. As his girlfriend, please stop putting pressure on him now!"
"Be good." Song Ya patted her face.
Fergie pouted, turned her head to one side, looked out the car window and stopped talking.
Back in the Tribeca penthouse, the study once again became the operational command center.
"According to the contract, Sony Columbia Records must officially release your single within fifty working days after the production is completed, and must provide matching publicity and distribution resources..." Goodman dug out i hate u i love u's previous contract.
, "We have no reason to file a lawsuit before this happens."
"After fifty working days, it will be almost the end of the year..."
This single was unlikely to be released in a short period of time. Everyone was discussing countermeasures when a call came in from Song Asheng.
"First Bank of New Jersey just called to inquire about the loan. According to the other party, people from Sony Columbia Records told them that there may be changes in the subsequent distribution of your single I Feel It Coming." Song Asheng said: "It seems that First Bank of New Jersey
They are very nervous if they want to collect their loans early."
"There may be changes, haha, a very clever play on words." Hamlin sneered, "The accounts are being audited, of course there will be changes, but they are clearly hinting to the bank that there is a problem with your repayment ability."
"Motula is really a person who never slaps someone in the face..."
Song Ya rubbed her brows and said to Song Asheng: "Explain the situation to the First Bank of New Jersey. Since Motula has taken action, I will ask Samuel to issue a statement as planned and tell the bank about my change of accounting firm.
clear."
"According to plan, you have to start making financial preparations." Song Asheng reminded.
"I understand, you go ahead and do it." As the creditor of A+ Audio Company, A+ Copyright and Management Company can also take over the health company, which has an annual income of more than 800,000 yuan and owns some synthetic sound copyrights and 20% of DTS shares.
It is not a problem to use the debt as collateral and find a bank to lend some money to transfer the 3.25 million debt of First Bank of New Jersey. "This time I applied for a loan from Harris Bank. They belong to the Chicago consortium and have long served in the Midwest."
The relationship with Samuel is very good." Song Ya ordered.
"Okay, I understand." Song Asheng hung up the phone.
"Now that Motura has taken action, today should be just an appetizer. I can't sit still and wait for death. I need more liquidity."
Chapter completed!
