Chicago 1990

Chapter 99 A+ Pedal Company

I rushed back to New Jersey overnight. On the 24th, in the small meeting room of the suite under Song Ya, Hayden, Dile, Song Asheng, Goodman were all here, as well as Will Gardner and his female assistant.

"Boss, all mortgage documents have been verified by the First Bank of New Jersey. As long as Nong fills in a number, they will issue a loan." Song Asheng put a document in front of Song Ya.

Song Ya filled in the number of three million and attached his signature.

Will Gardner magically reduced the purchase price from the 7 million AW investment company to 5 million, but because of the previous acquisition award agreement, Song Ya had to pay the other party nearly 670,000 rewards. Adding 5% of the purchase price is 250,000 attorney fees, and some miscellaneous service consulting fees, Lockhard and Gardner's law firm earned nearly one million from him in just three days Knife.

"Why don't you say that a lawyer makes money?" Song Ya sighed.

"You take six million to complete the acquisition, isn't it one million less?"

Will Gardner smiled and pushed a bunch of documents over, "The Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company's synthetic sound copyright library, fixed assets, employees, trademarks, all patents and outstanding orders are all yours."

Goodman and Song Asheng cooperated to help Song Ya try again.

Four million deposits and three million loans total seven million. Six million will be spent. For the remaining one million, Song Asheng will find a stock broker to buy shares of Microsoft and related companies. This is Song Ya’s first investment in software. the company.

"I plan to split again and incorporate the copyright library into A+ Audio Company. The Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company is divided into two parts. The newly established A+ Pedal Company leaves five employees, one clerk, and inherits all the patents, trademarks and trademarks of the original company. Order, complete the order in the factory with existing equipment, and after the new factory in the Bay Area is completed, all will be relocated. All the factory rent, repatriation and continuing production costs that need to be used, as well as the future cost of the new factory in the Bay Area A new company secured a loan from the First Bank of New Jersey."

This is what he discussed with Will Gardner before, and the eliminated production and office equipment will be handed over to the local auction company for auction.

"Have you found the management of A+ Pedal Company?" Will Gardner asked.

"Roberto Klevell introduced one who is the former sales manager of Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company. He has been leaving for several years. He had a good performance at this time. After Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company went downhill, he It was poached by other companies. This time I offered the position of general manager and a good annual salary and share expectations. He is willing to come back, and after he comes back, he can instigate several old relationships to agree to send capital." Song Ya replied.

"A good candidate." Will Gardner has not only negotiated with AW Investment Company in the past three days. He has bought several employees through various methods. At least 20 of the 35 union members have agreed to send. In addition, the local congressman who has some unknown connection with the First Bank of New Jersey retorted the situation, and Deputy Manager Wise was no longer a threat.

"If you are willing to give Wise a managerial position, we will spend a lot less energy and money." Will Gardner said.

Song Ya pouted, "Don't, I don't want to use this kind of person."

On the same day, a contract was signed with AW Investment Company to complete the acquisition. The new general manager of A+ Pedal Company also arrived the next day. The division and disposal of assets was also done step by step. All the eliminated production and office equipment were marked by the local auction company. I also went out, and by the weekend, nearby factory owners and residents would be attracted to try to pick up the leaks.

Wise pulled up another two hundred people and gathered at the factory gate to demonstrate.

"We absolutely do not agree to send money! We want to work!" He took the lead and shouted, "The local councillor also betrayed us! Follow me and go to the councillor's office!"

The crowd was about to move, and two officers walked out of the nearby police car, "Mr. Whiter, your action was not approved and authorized by the Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company union.

Once the rights were read out, he left and right and escorted him into the police car.

The demonstrators looked at each other. Originally, most of them were purely to help or join in the fun. Now when I heard that the main trade union had not passed, there was some enthusiasm, so they dispersed.

Over the weekend, part of the assets were auctioned off, and the remaining things were dealt with cheaply to the local scrap company. Song Ya returned hundreds of thousands of dollars in blood.

On Monday, March 4th, Song Ya officially announced the closure of Warren Brothers Synthesizer.

Only a handful of selected people in the plant maintain the order for the pedals. As long as the new general manager who goes to the Bay Area gets the plant and equipment there, they will move there immediately.Tenders have also been issued for the non-technical parts of the pedals. A Hong Kong trader took the order. They will subcontract the production to the Huaguo Shenxun factory, and then ship it to the new factory in the Bay Area.

"Thank you for your trusting boss."

In the evening, Song Ya hosted a small cocktail party. Di Lai was very excited to express his gratitude to Song Ya. After all, when he proposed to acquire the copyright library, he did not expect the matter to be so big.

"The copyright library I included in A+ Audio was converted into a loan from A+ copyright and asset management company. It is still far away for you to achieve your profit goal." Song Ya reminded him with a smile.

"I understand, I will do it well," Dile promised.

"Very smooth!"

Roberto Clerville got a five percent stake in A+ Pedal Company as he wished. For this he took out 150,000 dollars of real money and said, "I wish us success." He raised his glass.

"Now the company is still carrying a loan of more than one million yuan from the First Bank of New Jersey." Song Ya smiled and clinked glasses with him, not forgetting to warn him that even if the independent company is insolvent in the future, it will not hurt itself. After all, the main target of copyright library has been included in A+ Audio.

Song Ya’s personal mortgage loan was 3 million, plus A+ Pedal Company’s loan of more than 1 million. This more than 4 million loan directly changed the attitude of local lawmakers.The money loaned by A+ Pedal Company is used for the relocation of new factories, employee relocation, purchasing raw materials and subcontracting components, maintaining company operations, and developing new products.

"In business, it's all about betting."

Roberto Clerville, who came from a big Brazilian family, has the demeanor of a gentleman. The wealthy class in Brazil is mostly white, but they are very low-key locally and like to spend their money in Europe and the United States.

"So..." he said, "I should put my energy back on music, too. Miss Kelly's new album will be available in May."

"Oh yes." Song Ya was so busy these days that he remembered that he was going to participate in the David Letterman Late Night Show in early March. He hadn't practiced the song for a long time.

At this time, the phone rang and it was Michelle's call.

"Look at the four major news channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, CUU)." She said concisely.

Song Ya found the TV and turned it on. A video screen of tens of seconds was scrolled. The four white police officers beat a black man with their batons throughout the entire process, and they were very cruel.

"This is a very serious incident of discrimination, and we are going to have a solidarity event in Chicago," Michelle said.

"Well, I will come back to participate in that time." Song Ya agreed.
