Chapter 201

"Ahem." Taraji, who was sitting at the farthest end of the long table, coughed twice to cover up her almost laughing.

Motura kept a straight face, but still did not speak.

"Uh, this is the authorization document for Yongdao Certified Public Accountants to represent Mr. APLUS's record business." Samuel went straight into the work procedure, "Then here is the list of items that we will audit, and..." one of his subordinates Stand up and distribute the prepared documents to the Columbia Records participants.

Motura put his hand on the cover of the document and looked at the staff on his side.

In the conference room, the sound of flipping papers lasted for about ten minutes. The lawyer and financial staff of Columbia Records looked at each other, "Basically there is no problem." The lawyer confirmed.

"Cooperate." Motula got up and left, and when he came to the door, he turned his head and glanced sharply at Song Ya.

"He's going to explode." Donovan said in Song Ya's ear.

"He forced me." Song Ya was a little helpless when things turned out like this.

"Any company will be angry if it is suddenly audited by a top accounting firm." There are only six workstations at most, and there are still a lot of sundries in the corner of the room. Samuel said with a smile: "Sony Columbia records are not bad, I even stayed in the storage room, there is no air-conditioning, every time I come home from work They all smelled of sweat and cleaning chemicals."

"I'm going to work hard for you this time." Song Ya knew that the other party was almost a top figure in the accountant world, but he didn't expect that he would be treated so badly during the audit. "When my personal accountant comes over, he can still have an office to himself. .”

"Hehe, because we can really find out the tricks." Samuel smiled, "Let your lawyer be on call 24 hours a day, ready to deal with lawsuits at any time."

"We are." Goodman and Hamlin nodded.

"Am I enjoying the A-List treatment in advance?" Song Ya joked. He remembered that Goodman said that A-list stars have to deal with five to ten lawsuits a year, and his current number is still zero.

The expressionless Sony Columbia Records financial personnel walked in one by one, put down the cardboard boxes full of documents and turned away.

"We're about to start work." Samuel said to Song Ya: "According to the financial transactions between you, the only sales share that Sony Columbia Records has fulfilled is the first one million domestically released records of I Feel It Coming.

We will focus on this financial transaction first. "

"How long will it take?" Song Ya asked.

Samuel looked at the colleagues around him, "I don't know yet, it depends on the cooperation of the other party." The general partner from New York with experience in record auditing said: "For a big company like Sony Columbia Records, its The channel structure is extremely complicated, not only the relatively intimate channel like the Columbia Club, but also the regular distribution channel with various record retailers, as well as other distributors, marketing activities of 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 prices of each channel are different, and it is very difficult to sort out all this."

"We will do our best." Samuel added, "Don't worry, they won't deliberately falsify accounts or conceal anything for us. They can't afford the consequences of being caught with evidence. At most, they will use massive amounts of data to slow down our work. Efficiency wears down our will."

"Then please."

Song Ya shook hands with them respectively, "I'll just stay at home in Tribeca, and I won't be going anywhere for the time being. If the mobile phone is busy, call the landline there, or Hayden and the others' mobile phones are fine."

Saying goodbye to Samuel, who was working hard, Song Ya returned to the recording studio and joined Fergie. The two were packing up with the help of Taraji. Walt pushed the door in with disbelief, "What happened? Suddenly stopped i hate u i love u's record production and publicity plan."

"Why!?" Fergie exclaimed, her hopes of becoming famous all depend on this single!

"I don't know." Walter shrugged. He saw that Song Ya was not surprised, "APLUS, is there anything I don't know?"

"It's nothing, Walter, it's good to stop for a while."

Song Ya didn't want to involve Walt and others who had a good relationship, so she patted his arm, "watch the master tape for me, thank you."

He and Taraji coaxed Fergie, who was already in tears, out of the studio.

"Hey! What do you mean?!" Walt asked behind.

"It's none of your business, Walter!" Song Ya waved her hand without looking 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." The answer was affirmative. After that, he got into the car and drove away with Goodman and others who were in other vehicles.

He turned his head on the back seat, staring 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, "Leni and the others will laugh at me to death! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Reni?" Song Ya was so quarreled that she had to fight back and hugged her into her arms, and wiped away her tears, "Don't cry, it's just a little setback, why did it involve Renee?"

"Well……"

The girl twitched, "The last time Renee came to demonstrate to me, she kept talking about her signing with RAC. There's no reason why I shouldn't respond, right?"

Song Ya figured it out after a while. The relationship between girls is like this. In order to avenge the 'revenge' of Renee's door-to-door demonstration last time, Fergie probably called Renee to show off and sneer after confirming the bill.

"It's okay, a few days later, or..."

He stopped talking while talking, the worst possibility, maybe this song will be frozen by Motura, after all, the other party would rather pay out five million than destroy himself. If the game has to choose to leave the house at the end... Alas, it's all because Motura chose the timing too well, and waited until the release contract of this single was signed before launching it. A little weak-willed or reluctant to part with this song People probably will follow.

"Or what?" Fergie pressed.

"Nothing, even if the song doesn't get released..."

"What!" Fergie frowned all of a sudden, "What do you mean you can't get the release!?"

"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, stop putting pressure on him! "

"Be good." Song Ya patted her on the face.

Fergie pursed her lips, turned her head aside, looked out the window and said nothing.

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 50 working days after the production of your single, and you must provide matching resources for publicity..." Goodman reversed i hate u i love u's previous contract Come out, "We had no grounds for a lawsuit until then."

"Fifty working days and it's almost the end of the year..."

This single is not expected to be released in a short period of time, and everyone is discussing countermeasures when Song Asheng's call comes in.

"The First Bank of New Jersey just called to inquire about the loan. According to the other party, the people from Sony Columbia Records told them that there may be changes in the follow-up account of your single I Feel It Coming." Song Asheng said: "The First Bank of New Jersey seems to be They are nervous about getting their loans back early."

"There may be accidents, hehe, a very delicate word game." Hamlin sneered, "The accounts are being audited, of course there will be accidents, but they are clearly hinting to the bank that there is a problem with your repayment ability."

"Motura is really a person who doesn't slap his face overnight..."

Song Ya frowned, and said to Song Asheng: "Explain the situation to the First Bank of New Jersey. Since Motula has made a move, I will ask Samuel to issue a statement as planned, telling the bank about my change of accounting firm. clear."

"According to the plan, you have to start making financial preparations," Song Asheng reminded.

"I understand, you can do it." As the creditor of A+ Audio Company, A+ Copyright and Management Company can also take the health company with an annual income of more than 800,000, which owns part of the copyright of synthetic sounds and 20% of DTS shares. It is not a problem to transfer the 3.2 million debts of the First Bank of New Jersey as collateral, and find a bank to lend some money. "This time I applied for a loan from Harris Bank. They belong to the Chicago consortium and have long served in the Midwest. Samuel has a good relationship." Song Ya ordered.

"Okay, I understand." Song Asheng hung up the phone.

"Since Motura has started, today should be just an appetizer. I can't sit still. I need more liquidity."

Song Ya called Di Lai, "Is the big A ready? Come with him, my full-meter tour (cave point) will start soon!"
