When he returned to the study again, Andy saw Carl and Li Xiaoying chatting about the previous copyright issues, and sat back in his seat with a smile, saying to Carl: "Before leaving the Heavenly Dynasty, go to the Magic City Office to take a look and make some arrangements."

Carl blinked his eyes, nodded with a smile that I knew what to do, then glanced at Li Xiaoying, and smiled at Andy: "Actually, if you want, there is still a copyright gold mine in the United States that can be mined, but it will be 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, and he looked at Carl with a surprised expression on his face and asked, "It seems that it's not an ordinary trouble, otherwise you will definitely take it down first, come and show it to me, and talk to you."

"In 985, Michael Jackson spent $47.5 million to acquire the Atv music library. Currently, this music library mainly includes 250 songs from the Beatles, as well as 000 works by legendary singers and bands such as Elvis, Steve Wander, Marvin Guy, Rolling Stones, Mariah Carey, Eminem, etc...."

Hearing Carl's words, Andy's interest that had been raised before disappeared. He gave the other party a angrily glance and complained: "Michael regards them as his own lives. How could he let go? Besides, Sony has done everything he can to deal with him for the half of Sony Music's equity in his hands. I don't think Michael will accept my olive branch if I join it."

Carl also let go of his shoulders helplessly and said, "He is too stubborn and stubborn, which almost ruins him. His ideal of watching the world's number one pop music is too heavy, but unfortunately..."

"Haha, to put it bluntly, I still can't see a black man's record sales exceeding the sales and owning the copyright of the white Beatles and Elvis songs. He made the smartest investment in history, and some people prefer to see black people who make big money squander all their wealth and fail to invest, so that their psychology will be balanced, but now it's the opposite..."

Li Xiaoying sneered, and her argument was indeed about the point, such as bleaching and what made Michael fall into hell, which was originally a lawsuit that Rashomon was, to put it bluntly, it was still a reason why white and black could not be reconciled.

"Ahem..." Carl couldn't help but cough twice. He would not comment on this topic of white and black. No matter what he thought in his heart, the string of political correctness was already tense in every American's heart.

"...Carl, do you know the current valuation of the music library in his hands?" Andy didn't want to comment on this issue. Michael was deliberately targeted and hostile. This is not something that anyone can change alone. Behind it is a large group of interest groups that are collectively promoting. After all, Michael has moved too many people's cakes, let alone the big pop stars in the world hate him and grit their teeth.

"Forbes' valuation of this music library is about $550 million, but after he established Sony Music with this music library, he used it as collateral to lend Barclays Bank $280 million to resolve the old accounts. In the following years, Sony continued to increase investment and expand the company's scale, forcing him to continue to increase capital in order to retain that half of the shares, so he was already in debt.

The reason why I have the opportunity is actually the agreement between Michael and Sony to establish a music company. They can ask each other to acquire half of the shares they have."

After Carl finished speaking, he looked at Andy with a burning look, and Andy frowned slightly and pondered.

"No matter how brilliant the data is, there have been countless twists and bloody storms around this set of copyright over the past twenty years. So many storms have gone through. I don't think Michael would agree to sell his shares. He himself knows very well that these copyrights are the root of all his troubles. He will not sell them. If he wants to sell them, he would have sold them long ago. After all, many people have been staring at this set of music library for so many years, and this deal is not worth the price for the boss!"

Li Xiaoying is not optimistic about this, and it is a muddy pond. After more than 20 years of accumulation of grudges, no one can tell what thunder is buried inside, and it is very likely that it will be disappointed.

Andy stretched his eyebrows, smiled and looked at Li Xiaoying with an elegant and calm expression, and shrugged at Carl helplessly and said, "I heard that, my Feng Shen is not optimistic about this investment, so forget it."

Carl's mouth twitched, and he could only shake his head helplessly. Indeed, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire this music library, and the profit he could bring was only tens of millions of dollars each year. Although it can be said to be a long-term flow, it would be good if he could get more than ten million dollars after deducting all kinds of messy expenses. It was really not cost-effective.

However, the reason why Carl is optimistic about this music library is not just the value of money, but also the influence of the music industry. This is also the most important reason why Michael Jackson, who is obsessed with becoming the number one popular music player in the world, is unwilling to let go, even if he turns against many friends in the industry and becomes a lonely person.

Since the proposal was rejected, the matter was over. However, no one of the three people here expected that the copyright battle would be involved by chance. Of course, this is a story later.

Speaking of Michael, this is a chat topic that is difficult to end once it is opened. It is a pity that Michael has high debt and even the lawyer fees for lawsuits cannot be paid.

Many people have such a high income, how could they have hundreds of millions of debts that are less than hundreds of thousands of dollars because of Michael's income?

This means that income and wealth are two different things, but people often confuse these two concepts. Jackson's income makes him a wealthy minority on this earth, but his luxurious lifestyle and high interest on debt will leave him with little income every year, and even become a negative asset.

Not to mention anything else, his dream estate alone costs five million dollars a year to maintain, which also forced him to make money after retirement because the creditor forced him to come into the door, which is why he said to his friends in private, "If I don't sing, they will kill me."

No matter how sad it is, everyone is just a melon-eating crowd in this matter. Even though Andy likes his music very much, he is even more fascinated in his previous life. He never forgot that under a large stage built in the open air, there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Jackson appeared in military uniform and sunglasses, followed by dozens of professional soldiers...

On August, Feiyu won the eighth gold medal without any suspense, achieved a legend, and became one of the greatest athletes in the world. He was in the limelight, and the media in the United States even praised him to the sky.

The ancients said, "Famous name is everywhere, and slander will follow."

Looking at the photos of Feiyu with eight gold medals, Andy couldn't help but smile, closed the newspaper, and stopped paying attention. After finishing his legendary road, the next thing was his ordeal.

Fame, jealousy, and slander. Many people want to destroy him, want to make a fuss from him, and exclude him and suppress him. After becoming a superstar, rumors, controversy, danger, and terror will follow closely. That huge reputation will become the source of rumors and disputes.

The greater the reputation, the greater the greed, and the greater the pressure to worry about the loss of reputation. The greater the psychological damage, the greater the psychological damage. If you can't see it or let go, you will become an incurable wound, until you die.

Andy remembered correctly, Feiyu later suffered from severe depression. "I live in a real dark world and don't want to live anymore!" Andy was deeply touched by this. He also became famous at a young age. Although the two-year dark period was experienced by his predecessor, the memory after receiving it completely seemed to be personal.
