Chicago 1990

"It feels good to be back in Chicago."

Song Ya lay on the boss chair, put her hands behind her head, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Fergie got out from under the boss's desk, opened the door with her mouth and rushed out.

"What's wrong with her?" Hayden and Goodman happened to walk to the door.

"I just came back from Atlanta, don't you accept it." Song Ya replied, "So, how are our results this week?"

"From the 87th to fourth on the Billboard Singles Chart, it ranked in Coming Out Of The Dark by Gloria, the Latin queen, I've Been Thinking About You by Londonbeat, and You' by the Wilson sisters and Phillips. After re In Love. No. 1 on the hip-hop list."

Hayden smiled and put a lot of documents in front of Song Ya, "Congratulations, sign it, it's all money."

"SBK's Wilson sister and Phillips combination is still on sale?"

Song Ya really admires Daniel. One album has been sold for more than a year, and the singles in it can now occupy the top of the charts.

"Albums have sold nearly 10 million worldwide, and all singles sold together are more than 10 million. It is normal for albums of this level to sell for two or three years. We can't envy them." Hayden said: "SBK is Last year's most successful record company, Daniel seems to have made another big move. He joined the chase of Janet Jackson. As long as he signs MJ's sister, SBK will not lack DIVA, and he can compete with the major old record companies."

"Jenny Jackson?" Song Ya never paid attention to the news in this regard. "She wants to change companies?"

"Yes, her contract with her old club expired in May. At present, many record companies want to sign her. The industry estimates that the signing fee is at least 20 million dollars or more." Hayden replied.

"Wow."

Song Ya sighed. Just like Hayden said, he still can't envy these things. He lowered his head and focused on reading the documents. They were all long-term license contracts for songs of all sizes. The direct selling company he had seen in New York and some stadiums. , Universities, companies, etc., the total licensing costs add up to about 1.5 million dollars.

Song Ya signed the word briskly. He himself didn't expect Remember The Name to be so popular. "What's the matter with this chain restaurant? I remember that their main business area is not in each airport? Generally, Remember The Name is not put. This kind of song with a strong rhythm, right?"

"They are open 24 hours a day, and many passengers who missed the night flight will go to his store and ask the dinner table to make do all night. Maybe they want to use your song to drive people away." Hai Den explained.

"WTF...and this kind of operation." Song Ya shook his head and laughed, signing the document.

Due to the attention of Remember The Name, his first single, I feel it coming, also has a second business. The Sea Monster chain coffee shop will buy this song and add it to the background playlist of global stores.Even Feel? It? Still, which almost caused trouble, was noticed through Sony Columbia’s channels. NeXT computers offered a high price of $400,000, and wanted to use this unreleased single as an advertisement for their new computer. song.

"NeXT computer? His boss is that of Apple Computer..." Song Ya didn't remember the name of the company's boss.

"Jobs." Hayden replied: "The former CEO who was swept away by Apple, he founded NeXT Computer Company after he came out of Apple."

"How about these two companies?" Song Yaxin asked whether to buy some of their stocks.

"Not very good." Hayden guessed Song Ya's thoughts. "If it were not for poor performance, Apple would not drive away the founder of Jobs.

"That's it." Song Ya put out his investment plan.

With a total of more than two million dollars in income, the signature is in hand. Song Ya is in a good mood, humming and sending Hayden out. Then he sees Song Asheng who is in a hurry, his face collapses in an instant, and the tax season in April is here. ...

Fortunately, only the income of last year is calculated. The income of the first four months of this year will be included in the settlement of next year’s tax season. After Song Asheng’s series of reasonable tax avoidance operations, plus some investments that meet the tax refund conditions, some of them can be offset. Tax charitable donations, the company and individuals together, Song Ya actually bears the tax rate even lower than the average middle-class American, of course, the tax amount is still far higher.

"Don't make mistakes."

Song Ya carefully checked the documents and recalled every income he made last year. Except for the cash he earned from the hole to offset the bribes to black DJs, basically every income must be legally taxed. He didn't want to be horrified by the IRS. (US Internal Revenue Service) Focus on it.

"Boss, don't worry." Song Asheng pushed monocles, "This is the most important thing every year, and I can't go wrong."

After Goodman's trial, Song Ya carefully signed the letter, and the 300,000-meter knife left him.

The phone rang, and he took the microphone, "Hey! APLUS! The trailer is in stock, let's try it!" Dile's excited voice came from inside.

"So fast?" Song Ya went downstairs, one big and one small, two white RV trailers parked outside, Dile and NAS and others were visiting inside and out, "Because you are in a hurry, our company directly I sent the sample car, but you can rest assured that it is completely the same as the new one except for a little wear and tear, and there are discounts."

The staff of the RV customization company handed over a document board.

For the two RVs, the large one was bought and the small one was rented. For this reason, A+ Records bought another F150, which cost more than $50,000 in total.

The larger one is smaller than the one in Yellowstone Park at the beginning, and the decoration is also worse. The sample car usually uses a simple style that is easy to re-modify. There are many foldable and pull-out electrical appliances and living utensils inside. I can’t wait for every inch of it. Space is used.The big one can sleep five people in it, the small one can only accommodate two.

Song Ya checked it again, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed the bill.

"Uh, can you sign me again?"

Song Ya signed him again. He plans to use these two RVs to run through the large and medium-sized cities in Illinois and the surrounding four states in half a month, and get the black DJs in these cities before joint publicity in May.

"Cool!" Big A walked over, "I can even move the mobile station over and broadcast your tour promotion tour."

"All right, you also know what should not be said." Song Ya warned him.

In the past half month, he is going to bring Fergie with him, as well as NAS. They can be used as substitutes for himself and Dile and Al. The high-intensity publicity for half a month is very tiring, and the iron can't even turn and maintain. Performing at a high level, and having the opportunity to push them to the audience and DJ, even if it is a bit sweet.This trip is not part of Sony Columbia’s promotional plan, so in addition to overlapping parts, a lot of money has to be paid by yourself, and many resources have to be done by yourself.

"Of course, don't you worry about me?"

Big A promised, and asked the younger brother to go upstairs to move to the radio station. He was the key figure, and many requests for Song Ya could only compromise.For this publicity trip, he had to pay the big A a lot of money.

"All right, hey! NAS!"

Song Ya called to NAS, "Let's go upstairs and have a meeting."

He called the people participating in the publicity tour into the office, held a meeting together, confirmed the configuration and schedule, and then asked everyone to carry musical instruments and personal belongings in the RV.A younger brother of Big A will drive the car of Big A as the leader, two F150s dragging a large and one small two RVs to follow, Big A and Dile, Al and the NAS living car, Song Ya Live with Fergie in small.

The next day, when it was light, all the personnel and the drivers of the two hired RVs were in place, and the convoy slowly drove out of downtown Chicago and headed north to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where they would stay one day and one night.
