Chicago 1990

"To deal with those scum, we must use a tougher and more effective way..."

In the middle of a long line of podiums, Peter Flock is issuing a campaign manifesto. Everything revolves around public security issues. The state prosecutor’s words were a bit fierce, but it echoed his pledge to reverse public security in the next term. Campaign platform.

Alicia and Peter's mother are sitting on the right hand side, looking at him with proud and slightly admiring eyes, smiling and precise facial management.

Twenty thousand dollars made Song Ya sit in a good seat in the first row, not far from the camera, and at the same table with a group of celebrities. This time, she was really talking about money, and she didn't have to worry about being stabbed to the media like Spike Lee.

"I heard Edward, one of the two bosses of AW Investment, mentioned you."

When Peter finished his speech and the dinner began, everyone began to communicate in low voices. A chairman of the chemical company Barn next to him took the initiative to chat, "Do you know? This kid took out the money from Edward! AW's Edward." The rude white old man pointed at Song Ya and laughed at the others at the table.

The others smiled politely at the two, not knowing if they really knew Edward, who was far away on Wall Street in New York.

"How did you do it, kid?" Barn moved his chair closer and focused on talking to Song Ya without getting any further response from others, "That business in New Jersey."

"I took over a company from Edward and continued to spin-off..." Song Ya didn't know what the other party's real purpose was. He gave a vague introduction, "I haven't made any money from him. The factory is still at a loss."

He didn't say anything nonsense about this. The A+ Pedal Company has indeed not completed the relocation of the factory and the relocation of workers, and he has not mentioned the copyright.

"It's that simple? You moved the factory from New Jersey to Silicon Valley, and then outsourced production to China?" Barn asked.

Song Ya nodded, "It's almost like that."

"Outsourcing..." Barn was lost in thought. Since he has a relationship with Wall Street vultures like AW Investment Company, his business operations should not be very good.

"Can you have a chat alone? Mr. APLUS." At this time, a little white man pressed Song Ya's shoulder and leaned over to his ear and asked in a low voice.

"Okay." Song Ya recognized that the other party was Peter's campaign manager, as if his name was Eli, "I'm sorry." He smiled at Barn and the people present, then got up and followed Eli to a quiet place.

"Are you Jewish?" Song Ya guessed that Eli was Jewish when he saw Eli's appearance. Lawyer Will Gardner is not like a lawyer on Wall Street, but Prosecutor Peter looks like a TV star. The manager is a bit of an artist's temperament, with a silk suit and a floral bow tie. He is very delicately dressed, with just the right amount of exaggeration.

"Yes." Eli smiled and touched the nose of the eagle. "The characteristics are obvious, aren't they?"

The two joked, and Eli quickly got to the point. Finding Song Ya was nothing more than a sing. Peter's campaign must hold some rallies. He didn't raise any money, so it should be wasted work.

"I have no problem in principle, if the schedule does not conflict."

Song Ya gave him Hayden's business card, "You can contact my agent to discuss the schedule."

"Thank you, I thank you for your support on behalf of Peter."

Dilei was very happy, "Mr. APLUS, do you need public relations services?" He started a business for himself again, "I own a public relations company." He handed over his business card, "I am a professional in crisis public relations. ."

"crisis……"

Song Ya accepted the business card. He didn't feel any crisis for the time being, and he didn't know the true strength of the other party. "Yes, if there is a need, I will call you."

Early the next morning, Song Ya took the RV again to start the next week's promotional activities. This time he will travel throughout eastern Illinois and the entire Michigan state including Detroit.

"Da da, da da da da, da da..."

When parking to rest, Song Ya played the accompaniment of the song'trumpet' with a trumpet. Fergie lay next to her, resting her cheeks in her hands, watching quietly with admiration.

"APLUS!" Hayden knocked on the door outside, breaking this very atmospheric two-person world.

"This week's magazine, there are some letters from fans..."

Hayden threw a lot of books and letters in front of Song Ya. "There are more and more letters, usually from loyal fans. If you can reply one by one, it will be very good for your popularity."

"Replied all the letters?" Song Ya was a little embarrassed to see the pile of envelopes of various styles.

"You should hire a clerk or assistant." Hayden suggested, "The content of the reply can be very formatted. You only need to sign a name at that time, and the fans will understand."

"What about now?" Song Ya pushed the letter towards Fergie, "You write it for me first."

"No, I hate writing the most." Fergie ran out quickly. There was a small party in the big caravan, and she went to join in the fun.

"You are my agent." Song Ya had to push the letter back to Hayden, "Take care of it for me first."

Hayden sighed, and had to take the letter back into his bag again, "Remember The Name went up one spot on the Billboard Singles Chart this week, and the hip-hop chart still remains number one."

"Oh?" Song Ya found the bulletin board magazine. Unexpectedly, Gloria, who was still the number one Latin diva last week, dropped out of the team. The next three singles rose by one place, and Remember The Name rushed to the top. three.

"According to Sony Columbia's plan, you should have appeared on the west coast this week. The publicity effect of big cities is much better than that of small cities, especially hip-hop music. Black people generally live in cities." Hayden said.

"In the slums of the city." Song Ya added.

The black people at the bottom cannot afford the cost of housing and commuting in the suburbs. The large tracts of land in the countryside are in the hands of white farmers with a long history, and the blacks themselves are unwilling to do farm work. Although the U.S. agriculture uses machinery on a large scale, according to them He has been slaves to white people for hundreds of years, so I don’t want to go back to the countryside.

"You have to hurry up and compress the time appropriately. Empire State of Mind will premiere in May. Although Mariah Carey can't cooperate with the promotion schedule, we can't relax here. She can not participate in the promotion because she has her own new album in May. On sale, and the chorus version will not appear on her album."

Hayden reminded, "According to reliable sources, MJ’s album Dangerous will be released in November, and the single promotion will begin in October, and the preheating will be earlier. This kind of predator will enter the market. Good end."

"MJ?"

Song Ya is really looking forward to what the new album of the world's most popular singer MJ will look like.

Hayden nodded, "Yes, in addition to him, Prince's new album will also be released in October, the same, the early publicity will only be earlier. Of course, now he has a bit of Flop, but it should not be underestimated. I discussed with Donovan and unanimously suggested that you end the singles promotion before August or September."

"These two people are really interesting." Song Ya knows the history of fierce competition between MJ and the prince in the early 1980s. Although the prince was obviously overwhelmed in various achievements, it seems that he has not lost the direct competition with MJ. courage.

"Then what about my new order?" Song Ya picked up the trumpet and played a few notes, "I'm preparing to make it."

"Then you should hurry up and use the publicity gap between Remember The Name and Empire State of Mind to finish the song. It will be released in June and publicized in July. It cannot be later than this timetable."
