    Los Angeles, USA

    Cao Xuan saw Mike and his executive manager of Princess Warner again.

    Perhaps her temperament was somewhat similar to Zeng Li's, Avril looked at him several times vigilantly, and then waved goodbye to Cao Xuan with a little reluctance.

    This trip to China, traveling + performing + playing, took almost half a month. For Avril Lavigne, who is still on the rise in her career, it is not a big time.

    After returning to the United States, she and he are going to make up for the schedule of the past few days, and there is no time to continue pestering Cao Xuan.

    After saying goodbye to the little girl, Cao Xuan and others headed to Warner headquarters. On the way, Mike, who had gained weight again, shouted excitedly.

    "Chris, your Billboard singles chart is up again."

    Cao Xuan was not surprised by this. After the release of the new album, within half a week, there were 3 songs on the charts, and one of them even approached the top 30.

    Of course, most of this is based on the popularity of the previous album and Cao Xuan himself. The follow-up ranking also depends on the quality of the songs.

    But Cao Xuan is obviously very confident in his album, and he also believes that this album will have a more stable and better start based on the popularity of the previous album.

    "Approximately how much has it increased?"

    Although he knew it would definitely rise, Cao Xuan still didn't know the specific data. Mike glanced at Jonah Warner, and the red-haired beauty opened the folder he carried with him.

    "As of today, "release" has been on the Billboard singles chart for two weeks and the album chart for one week.

    At present, there are four songs in the album on the list. The best result is still "freeloop", which is temporarily ranked 23rd, followed by "sugar", which is ranked 29th.

    "Believer" has the fastest growth rate. At the beginning, it ranked only 89th, but now it has surpassed 41st in a week, and the momentum is booming.

    And the album list is currently ranked seventh. The album has been released for two weeks, and the sales volume has approached 500,000 copies. It is expected that the album list next week will only be strong but not weak.

    Another thing worth mentioning is that the MV of "Sugar" is very popular on the Internet, Google search has already ranked in the top two, and TV stations often rebroadcast it"

    Cao Xuan listened quietly, and when Qiao Na finished speaking, he was a little surprised and said: "It sounds pretty good, much better than the last one."

    "It's not just good, it's good, man."

    Mike was extremely dissatisfied with Cao Xuan's modest expression: "This is definitely a phenomenal performance, the board members are stupid Qiao Na, your grandfather and father are not included."

    Qiao Na rolled her eyes, took out her mp3, put on her earphones: "I didn't hear it."

    "Good, good girl, keep enjoying your music."

    Mike wanted to pat Qiao Na with his big fat hand, but he didn't care if he was avoided. He continued to complain about the director of Warner Records to Cao Xuan with a fat face.

    According to him, this group of people are hopelessly idiots, who are not optimistic about Cao Xuan in all kinds of ways. He supported Cao Xuan with his own strength. Now that "release" exploded, he and Cao Xuan had the greatest credit.

    ?If you don¡¯t give him a deputy director of the board of directors this time, he will quit and find his old father-in-law to hug his thigh

    For these words of Mike, Cao Xuan believed at most 50%, and even put quotation marks on the 50%.

    To say that this guy is supporting Cao Xuan, Cao Xuan believes it, because the two of them are a community of interests to some extent.

    Cao Xuan relied on Mike to fight for resources in Warner, and Mike relied on Cao Xuan's achievements to expand his influence and voice on the board of directors.

    So Cao Xuan very much believes that Mike will try his best to defend and support him, because once his interests are damaged, Mike will also suffer.

    But if it is said that Warner does not value Cao Xuan, he certainly does not believe it.

    In the last "christsao", Cao Xuan made a lot of money for Warner. Except for a few trump cards such as Linkin Park, Cao Xuan made the most money.

    This is because Cao Xuan is not a signed artist, but belongs to a cooperative relationship, has a high degree of freedom and owns the copyright, otherwise Linkin Park may not necessarily be able to compare with him.

    As an Asian superstar, Cao Xuan has his own controversial traffic, and there is an Asian market behind him, because the World Cup is also well-known in Europe and South America, with unlimited potential. As long as Warner is not stupid, how can it be possible not to value him.

    It can also be seen from the Grammys that Cao Xuan won two awards in a row, without Warner's contribution behind it, it would not have been so easy.

    From Avril's experience, it can be seen that her achievements and statistics are not inferior to Cao Xuan, but the strength of the company she works for is limited, and its public relations ability for important awards such as the Grammy is far weaker than that of Warner.

    If the two change companies, the outcome of this award will be difficult to say

    So, the Warner director in Mike's mouth??Chairman, the relationship was planned long ago, and I underestimated him.

    "Tell me about the situation first, why there was no news before."

    Cao Xuan probably understands Mike's purpose. The purpose of the new boss is to make money. Naturally, the general should be stabilized first. Cao Xuan and Linkin Park must promise to keep them with huge profits.

    In case the two pillars are lost, even if Warner Records is won, the loss will also be heavy.

    Mike, who has a close relationship with Cao Xuan, is the best lobbyist. The other party revealed the news in advance to calm people's hearts and not scare them away.

    Cao Xuan's heart became more stable in an instant. He and the Warner family didn't have any great interests at all. As long as his interests were not hurt, anyway, it was a cooperation, and it didn't matter who he cooperated with.

    And in his impression, Warner Records did have such a change, but it did not affect the fundamentals of the company. After a short period of turmoil, it was still firmly among the top record companies in the world.

    Mike also roughly told Cao Xuan about the background of the incident.

    In 2000, America Online, the largest telecommunications company in the United States, carried out a merger and acquisition of Warner, and even planned to take Universal together to create the largest media group in the United States.

    In the end, although Universal failed to win, Warner's acquisition was completed, and the new company once ranked 37th among the world's top 500, making it a media giant.

    As a result, the U.S. officials launched a series of antitrust investigations into the merger, which eventually led to the disintegration of the new company, and Warner was hit hard.

    Also because of this incident, Warner has not recovered much in the past two years, and has been faintly suppressed, so it can only selectively divest some non-core businesses.

    The music business is Warner's first major segment to be cut by hand, and as soon as Warner is about to let go, the next family will come over to take over.

    Edgar Bronfman Jr.

    The former president of Universal Group, who can be regarded as a media boss, learned that Warner wanted to sell Warner Records. He contacted a group of individual investors and related institutions, raised a large sum of money and established an investment group, intending to take over Warner  record.

    Now the contact between the two parties is smooth. According to Mike, if there is no accident, the acquisition will be officially completed by the end of the year and announced to the public.

    By then, this little Edgar will become the new head of Warner Records.

    Mike spoke a lot of compliments to the new boss, and also said that he admires Cao Xuan very much, and will increase resources in the future to make Cao Xuan one of the world's first-class superstars.

    Cao Xuan didn't comment on these empty promises, but instead raised a question that he was more interested in.

    "Just now you said that the Warner family will keep 10% of the shares. Don't they plan to divest them all?"

    "It is planned to divest all of them, but the new bosses don't have enough money. I heard that the acquisition is more than 2 billion US dollars. In order to get as much shares as possible, the new boss has mortgaged many copyrights and businesses of the company to the bank in advance.

    However, considering that the company still needs to develop, a lot of money cannot be moved, and the bank can't mortgage anything, so the funds are still a little tight, and the last 10% are really out of money.  "

    "If you want to take this 10% stake, how much money do you need?"

    "No matter what, it must be more than 200 million U.S. dollars."

    Mike was suddenly taken aback, looked at Cao Xuan with difficulty, and asked in a shy voice, "What do you mean by that?"

    "It's not interesting, please help me contact the new boss, I want to chat with him."

    Cao Xuan's smile was flat, but there was a faint green light in Mike's eyes.

    Don't get me wrong, Americans don't know what green hats are. In the United States, the most green ones are dollar bills. Cao Xuan's two words made Mike see the shadow of Franklin on his face
