Back in the study again, Andy sees Carl and Li Xiaoying chatting about the copyright issue before. He smiles and sits back in his seat. He says to Carl, "before leaving China, go to the office of Mordor and make some arrangements."

Carl blinked his eyes. He nodded with a smile that I knew how to do. Then he looked at Li Xiaoying and smiled to Andy. "In fact, if you want, there is a copyright gold mine in the United States that can be mined. However, it will be very troublesome to take it down, because there are too many people staring at it and all kinds of shameless means are used..."

"Oh?" Andy's interest was raised. He looked at Carl with a surprised expression on his face and asked, "it seems that it's not a common trouble, or you will take it down first, come and show it to me, talk about it."

"In 1985, Michael Jackson purchased ATV's music library for us $47.5 million. At present, this music library mainly contains the song copyrights of 250 Beatles, as well as 6000 works of legendary singers and bands such as Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder, Marvin gay, rolling stones, Maria Kelly, Eminem, etc..."

heard Carle's words, Andy's interest before he disappeared, and he was not very angry. He said, "Michael is treating them as their own lives. How could he let go?" besides, SONY has already make complaints about the half of Sonis's share of his hands, and I don't think if I join him, Mike will join him. You will accept my olive branch. "

Karl shrugged helplessly and said: "he is too stubborn and stubborn, which almost destroys him. He really thinks too much about the ideal of the first person in global pop music, but

"Well, to put it bluntly, I can't see a black record selling more than the white Beatles and Elvis. He made one of the smartest investments in history, and some people prefer to see black people who make a lot of money squander their wealth and fail to invest, so that their psychology will be balanced, but now it's the opposite

Li Xiaoying said with a sneer, and her argument was really about the point, what kind of bleaching, what made Michael go to hell was the lawsuit of Luo Shengmen. Frankly, it was also a reason why white and black could not be reconciled.

"Cough..." Carl coughs twice. He will not comment on this white and black topic. No matter what he thinks, the string of political correctness has been strained in every American's heart.

“。。。 Carl, do you know the current valuation of his quku? " Andy also doesn't want to comment on this issue. Michael is deliberately targeted and hostile. This is not something that can be changed alone. Behind it is a large group of interest groups promoting. After all, Michael has moved too many people's cake, let alone the global pop stars who hate him.

"Forbes valued the music library at about $550 million, but he took the music library and Sony to set up Sony Music as collateral, and borrowed $280 million from Barclays Bank to settle the old accounts. In the next few years, Sony continued to increase investment and expand the company's scale, forcing him to keep that half of the shares, and continue to increase capital. Therefore, the In fact, he is already in debt.

The reason why I say that there is an opportunity is actually the agreement that Michael and Sony originally set up a music company. Both of them can ask each other to buy the other's half of the shares. "

After Carl finished, he looked at Andy with burning eyes, and Andy frowned slightly and pondered.

"No matter how brilliant the data is, there have been countless twists and turns and bloodbath in the past 20 years around this set of copyright. So many storms have come down. I don't think Michael will agree to sell his shares, and he himself is very clear that these copyrights are the root of his troubles. He won't sell it. If he wants to sell it, he'll sell it for a long time. After all, many people have been staring at this set of music library for so many years. Moreover, this business is not cost-effective for the boss! "

Li Xiaoying is not optimistic about this, and it's a muddy water. After more than 20 years of accumulation of gratitude and resentment, no one can tell what thunder is buried in it. Moreover, it's likely that she will encounter a piece of dust.

Andy looks at Li Xiaoying with a smile and an elegant expression. He shrugs at Carl helplessly and says, "you hear me, my God of wind doesn't like this investment, so forget it."

Carl's mouth is drawn, but he can only shake his head. It is true that he spent hundreds of millions to purchase this set of music library, and the annual profits he can bring are only tens of millions of dollars. Although it can be said that it's a long time, it's not good to get more than ten million dollars after deducting all kinds of messy expenses. It's really a bit uneconomical.

However, the reason why Carl is optimistic about this music library is not only the value of money, but also the influence of the music industry. This is also the most important reason why Michael Jackson, who has become the first person in the world's pop music, is unwilling to let go, even if he turns against many good friends in the industry and becomes a lonely man.

Since the proposal has been rejected, then the matter has been turned over. Only none of the three people here thought about whether the fight for copyright was involved in a shady way. Of course, this is a later story.Speaking of Michael, this is a chat topic that is difficult to be ended once it is opened. It's also sad that Michael's high debt, even the lawyer's fee in a lawsuit, cannot be paid.

Many people because Michael's income is so high, how can there be hundreds of millions of debt, will the difference be hundreds of thousands of small money?

It has to be said that income and wealth are two different things, but people often confuse these two concepts. Jackson's income makes him the rich minority on the earth, but his luxury lifestyle and high debt interest will make his annual income little, or even become a negative asset.

Not to mention anything else, his dream manor alone costs $5 million a year to maintain, which also makes him have to come back to earn money after retirement, because the creditors force the door, which is why he would privately say to his friends, "if I don't sing, they will kill me."

Anyway, everyone just eats melons. Even though Andy loves his music very much, he has never forgotten whether there are tens of thousands or tens of thousands of people in the dark under an open-air stage. Jackson appeared in military uniform and sunglasses, followed by dozens of professional soldiers...

On August 16, flying fish won the eighth gold medal without any suspense, which made a legend and became one of the greatest athletes in the world. For a while, he was in the limelight. The local media even praised him.

The ancients said, "the world is famous, and slander follows."

Looking at the picture of flying fish with eight gold medals, Andy can't help smiling, closing the newspaper, and no longer paying attention to it. The legendary road of flying fish is over, and then his tribulation.

He is famous, envied and slandered. A lot of people want to break him down, try to get something out of him, and push him out. After becoming a superstar, rumors, controversies, dangers and horror follow closely. That great reputation will be the source of rumors and arguments.

The greater the reputation, the greater the greed, and the greater the pressure to worry about reputation damage. The greater the psychological trauma is, the more it can't be seen or put down, the more it will become a wound that can't be healed until it dies.

And Andy remember, later flying fish got serious depression, "I live in a real dark world, I don't want to live any more!" Andy has a deep feeling about this. He is also young and famous. Although the dark period of two years is his predecessor's experience, the memory after fully receiving is like personal experience.

Of course, all this is no longer Andy's concern, because he ushered in his second Olympic game, the quarter finals, against Morocco's players.
