Chapter 148

Early the next morning, after waking up, Zhou Ziheng led his team to the EMI Universal Music Company in the United States. This Universal Music Company was not the Universal Music Group that would later control twenty-five percent of the global music market. In fact, Universal Music was still known as MCA at this point; it was not until 1996, when MCA's film division was renamed Universal Pictures and its music division renamed Universal Music Group, that the name Universal Music formally came into existence. The Universal Music that Zhou Ziheng was visiting today was actually called EMI Universal Music Company. It was a music company established by EMI in the United States, essentially operating as EMI's American branch.
