Chicago 1990

Back at the hotel, he took off his tight-fitting gown, breathing more easily. Al handed him his cell phone and pager. There were many missed calls on it.

Song Ya called back separately according to the importance. Will Gardner has already contacted AW Investment Company. He suggested that Song Ya go to New Jersey and leave the negotiating affairs to him, because now society is spending money on black stars. The stereotype is that if AW Investments finds itself in charge, it might sit down and raise the price.

The interests of both parties are the same. The lower the price, the more the other's law firm earns. Song Ya agreed.

Old Qiao also called, and he asked Song Ya to go back to Chicago to find him without saying why.

Then there was Mila, "I saw you on TV, and my performance in the interview was pretty good." She said in the old-fashioned tone of an adult.

"Columbia originally suggested that I bring a female companion, but I refused." Song Ya pleased her.

"Um, um, not bad."

Mira was very satisfied. Like Song Ya, she didn't receive any Grammys this time. Because William Morris had high expectations of her, she didn't want him to surrender to the unnominated awards ceremony.Her film will be closed at the beginning of March. When the time comes to record an album in New York, there will be more opportunities for the two to meet.

After talking on the phone for a while, Song Ya coaxed the reluctant Mira to hang up.

The rest of the phone calls were all acquaintances interviewing him before the awards show on CBS. They called to congratulate him. He went over to express his gratitude one by one.

The last call came from Halle Berry, who was the only person Song Ya did not answer.

After finishing all these things, he made a preliminary analysis of the fifth song, or the fifth and sixth songs, obtained by Apocalypse. There are two songs in this song called'Empire? State? of Mind (Empire’s Heart). The first version is a male and female chorus. The female singer is responsible for the chorus part, using rhythm and blues and soul singing. The male singer’s RAP part talks about his history of drug trafficking and black rental, and then brags about his own To succeed, he used a lot of stalks that Song Ya didn't understand, and he regarded himself as a crippled gang member. The typical gangster rap style, it seemed that the lyrics had to be changed drastically.Although the MV is simple but very interesting, Song Ya can see at a glance that there is no World Trade Center in New York. What is going on?And there are also words about the immortality of the World Trade Building and the Statue of Liberty in the lyrics. This is very strange. According to the feelings of Americans, shouldn't you sing the immortality of the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty?

The second version is the female singer who sings the chorus in the first version, singing solo piano and solo. Lyrics are normal and inspiring, and the singing skills are top-notch, but Song Ya does not plan to use it. If you use it, the female singer can sing nothing. Fa included his album, he was worried that he couldn't make up ten songs for the first album.

Now is not the time to study this carefully. The next day, he slept until noon, and then went to buy a business suit, took Al, and called Roberto Cleverville who had greeted him, and rushed to Yihe The city of Bayonne, New Jersey, is separated by Hayden and Dile.

"There used to be a lot of military industries and shipyards here, so the union is very strong." Cadillacwood drove to the downtown area of ​​Bayonne, Roberto Clerville introduced.

Indeed, not far from New York, there are traces of large industries and heavy industries everywhere. Of course, it is now gradually declining. Many factories have closed and evacuated, and land and factories have been transformed into residential areas.

Song Ya is not in the mood to care about this. His attention is entirely on Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company. If nothing happens, he will basically invest in it after a year of hard work.

Roberto Klevell has not revealed his thoughts. It stands to reason that Song Ya’s acquisition of this time has no interest entanglement with his small shareholder of Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company. AW Investment Company has sorted out the synthetic sound copyright library and The ownership of the company’s other assets, they stripped off the land and factories and sold them for a good price. The Warren brothers and Roberto Cleverville actually took the money and left the market first.

When Will Gardner arrives tomorrow, Song Ya met with the two white bosses of AW Investment Company and formally expressed his intention to acquire.

"No, I am not involved in the negotiation, I have entrusted this matter to Will Gardner."

The other party enthusiastically invited him and Roberto Cleverville to dinner. Song Ya was very tight-lipped during the dinner, and he couldn't help being careless with the business of millions.

"Those union members are not easy to handle."

"Yes, what is the name, what Wieser's deputy manager, is just a cockroach. Last week he organized a protest of nearly a thousand people, which frightened the local councillors."

"Yes, APLUS, you have to be careful of that person after you buy the factory."

"We are posting money in it every day!"

The two bosses of AW Investment Company made a rapport and did not hide their current dilemma, but this is not surprising. After they split the company, they only sold land and plant income to offset the acquisition costs and assumed corporate debts and still made money. Selling to Song Ya is now a net profit, and it will continue to lose blood if it is not sold in the hand.

Song Ya felt that it was wise to leave them alone for so long, and the other party was obviously eager to make a business.

Roberto Klevell is very upset at the stupid decision of the Warren brothers. He thinks it is cheaper to sell, but the capital society is like this. You lose money as a business, but others can make money by buying and selling land. That's the skill of others.

"Nearly a thousand people?" Song Ya was taken aback, "Don't the Warren Synthesizer Company have only 30 employees?"

"One employee, three or four family members, as well as the workers and family members of the supplier, plus the members and family members of the nearby trade unions, and some fools to join in the fun..."

After dinner, the two bosses took Song Ya to visit the Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company. An old two-story factory building. The equipment on the first floor is very old. There are even old-fashioned cast iron machine tools that were used decades ago. , There are no workers at work, and various tools are thrown out in a mess.Only a black security guard took care of the warehouse, and some of the unsold synthesizers in it were packed in boxes printed with Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company, and some were stacked directly in the corners, full of dust.

The equipment on the second floor is much newer. Song Ya even saw a few computers in a small office. Two white men in plaid shirts with the same hair as a chicken coop were facing the display and tapping the keyboard.

"What is this?" Song Ya saw the graphical interface on the screen, a familiar feeling rose in his heart, and he walked in and asked directly.

"WINDOWS 3.0..."

A man in a plaid shirt replied: "It supports the new MIDI standard that took effect this year. You can edit audio files through this operating system in the future, which is much more convenient and can be used on almost all MIDI devices that support the new standard."

He pointed to the synthesizer and pedal connected by the data cable. Our company spent a lot of money to upgrade the equipment, just to adapt to the new standard.

"Still working? Andrew..." Roberto Klevell knew them, came in and said hello with a smile, "And Hunter, don't bother you, the company is bankrupt."

"We are just for fun." Hunter smiled embarrassedly and pushed his glasses. "The people who don't work are in the big conference room. Go find them."

Song Ya followed the two AW bosses into the large conference room. In it, 30 or so employees in work uniforms were gathering together to chat, most of them were white, with only two black faces.Song Ya stood in front of them, "Introduce, Mr. APLUS intends to buy the company, do you all know him? Maybe he will be your boss in the future." The AW boss introduced himself to them.

"No matter who buys the company, we just have to work!" a middle-aged white man with short blond hair took the lead and shouted.

Song Ya looked at him, and he should be the cockroach deputy manager of AW. He was right. The overalls were clean, his voice was crisp, and he was very motivated.

"Yes, we want to work!" everyone else shouted.

The first meeting can only be ended hastily, Song Ya star's identity cannot make the workers pay their respects.

Today's task is to come here to show up. Will Gardner calls this a'real estate business tactic'.

In the era of lifting of quarantine, black people flooded into white communities, which brought about the deterioration of community security, and naturally the housing prices in the area went down all the way.There is no shortage of smart people in the capital society. After white owners find that there are signs of the influx of blacks in the community, they will immediately sell their houses and move away, avoiding the loss of falling housing prices.

But the shortcoming of capital society is that there are too many smart people. This kind of stop loss strategy develops later, as long as a black family moves in, the white people will immediately start selling their houses, and the house price will fall more severely, resulting in lower immigration costs for blacks. Instead, it poured in faster.

Later, the cunning capitalists also saw this. They would deliberately bring some blacks into the white community, and then create the illusion that the blacks moved in. The white owners who thought they were smart cut the meat one after another to stop the loss, and the house was taken by the real estate developer. Go, and then the blacks moved out, the housing prices in the community rose, and the real estate developers made special profits from Zhongda.

Will Gardner asked Song Ya to appear first and also used this "old" strategy. Many whites did not say anything, but in their hearts they were very reluctant to do things under the hands of black bosses. As long as they can force these people to agree to send money, Song Ya's acquisition plan can save a lot of money.

At present, Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company has 35 employees. As long as more than half of the 18 people agree to send money, and then the local councillors are dealt with, even if Wise jumps up and down, nothing can stop it.
