Chicago 1990

The conditions for the capital injection of the Inner City Broadcasting Company have been negotiated at the beginning of the month. Dingkins and the others have been worried that they will change their minds. They seem to be suffering for a few days. Today is finally waiting for the official signing day, plus they are very face-saving on the spot. After joining the OmegaPsiPhi Brotherhood, the old man was so happy that he couldn't help himself.

"Mr. Sutton, Pierre, Dorothy..."

In the afternoon, he appeared in the large conference room with Dingkins on time. All the seven members of the Inner City Broadcasting Company's board of directors were present, plus his own four seats, exactly eleven seats.

Among them, Passy Sutton has a seat as chairman, former New York Mayor Dingkins has a seat for the foundation agent, the first African-American female TV station owner Dorothy has a seat, and Federal Representative Wrangell’s foundation agent. One seat is the agent of New York State Comptroller Herman McCall, and one is the representative of the American Jazz Foundation. The director is Billy Taylor, a famous old jazz educator and New York media person, and several charities and rights foundations. One seat for joint representatives and one seat for company union representatives. All six seats belong to the black donkey party.

The remaining seat belongs to the New York City Hall, represented by a black elephant party.

"Billy Taylor and Russell Simmons have a close relationship, and the African-American director representing the New York City Council is an opponent of all issues. Other neutrals, Dorothy's TV station, your A+CN has capital injection, not surprisingly she and Ding Jin Sis will support you, and Rangel. If you hold these three votes, you may be able to add a vote from Herman Rankauer, and you will definitely win if you re-elect the chairman at the end of the year."

Although the issue of capital injection was mentioned before my wedding, and the people who should have known it a few months later, the two sides of the transaction did not want to be too high-profile. No reporters or outsiders were invited to the capital injection contract. The large conference room except the Manhattan Gang With the representatives of these directors, the rest is the general manager of various radio and television stations under the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation.

The relevant personnel present at Song Ya are Alicia who is responsible for the legal affairs of the capital injection case, Samuel of accounting affairs, Dr. Chen from A+ Ventures, assistant Linda, and A+ copyright and asset management company Legal Goode who is responsible for the money. Man.

Of course, political adviser Sloan is indispensable. She dutifully introduced in Song Ya's ear: "Passy Sutton will not resist herself, provided that Pierre Sutton will continue to manage the company as the general manager until the end of 1999. That's it."

"Well, good job, Ms. Sloan."

Song Ya complimented him. Sitting at the center of the conference table, Alicia on the left handed over the signing documents blankly. This woman is very clear between public and private, and it is completely impossible to resemble the previous Mariah Carey. What kind of fun to play like that quietly hook your feet under the table.

"Thank you, Alicia."

Song Ya took the document and looked at it personally. The 28 million capital injection is no problem, and 32% of the shares are no problem. The rest of the relevant powers such as splitting, selling, or shutting down have all the powers, but not full power. Yes, whether it is Dingkins, Wrangel, or the Sutton family, it is absolutely impossible for oneself to mess with their core radio station or branches with political commissions.

"Well, no problem..."

Alicia has done a good job. She is far less experienced than Goodman or Hamlin. She is not as strong as Will Gardner and Diane Lockhard. She is not an old fritters in the legal world. She used to focus on defending in court. Field, but she has her own law firm, so she can leave specific matters to her subordinates for help. In some ways, she is still a rare sincere lawyer.

"The ten million-plus loan from the First Bank of New Jersey will expire in October... You have two choices."

Samuel, vice president of customer service at Yongdao, also handed over a document.

The conditions Underwood promised last time are still valid, that is, to replace the loan with a low interest rate...not a low interest rate anymore, a new loan a little lower than the normal level, but the condition is that it provides personal guarantee. , Another option is naturally to pay back the money.

"Pay it back."

With plenty of cash now, Song Ya doesn't bother to talk nonsense with the bank that has taken out his own loan.

"Then you will directly inject 28 million yuan this time." Samuel reminded.

"Goodman." Song Ya looked at Goodman.

"This is a document related to A+ copyright and asset management company undertaking capital contribution." Goodman also handed over the document.

"So shall we begin?"

Song Ya smiled and asked Pierre Sutton across the conference table.

"I have waited for this day for APLUS." Pierre Sutton was naturally willing to exchange documents with the help of the lawyer of the Inner City Broadcasting Company.

What has been negotiated long ago, plus several creditor banks of the Inner City Broadcasting Company are waiting next door, the two parties re-examined and began to sign the formal capital injection documents. The needles in the conference room can be heard, only Song Ya and Pierre The rustle of writing.

Injecting capital into the inner city plus the service fees, consulting fees, and working hours taken by Alicia, Sloan, and Yongdao, totaling more than 32 million yuan. The open market holds 20 million SUN stocks, and A+ venture capital approval Ten million, just to use the money that failed to "tray" Netscape, A+CN has already spent several million, including one million invested in Dorothy TV, plus him and Mariah Carey The couple's extravagant spending this year has made money, and the 100 million in cash has shrunk dramatically.

Oh, by the way, 3DFX may have to make up for it. The politician donations that need to be given at the end of the year are not enough to rely on their own two foundations, but it should not exceed that much.

Song Ya estimates that there will be more than 10 million left?It is best to vote before the end of the year and pay less tax next year.

Relevant personnel of both parties signed all the documents, and then exchanged to continue signing.

"call!"

After Pierre Sutton signed the last sum, he let out a long sigh of relief, and there was immediately warm applause in the conference room.

"Thank you, thank you everyone, we will be a family in the future."

Someone opened champagne, and the general managers came to clink glasses with the new boss.

"Congratulations, APLUS, you have entered the heart of the world." Dingkins also raised his glass and laughed.

It is not surprising that Manhattanites think that they are the center of the world, "Thank you Mr. Dingkins." Song Ya was complimented by the former mayor of New York and ambitious, "We will manage it together."

"Let's take a break, and then we meet the people at the bank?" Pierre Sutton asked.

"Uh, just leave it to Alicia and the others."

Song Ya didn’t want to see the people of the First Bank of New Jersey again. To some extent, the Inner City Broadcasting Company was forced to desperate by their high-interest loan of more than 10 million yuan. Of course, there are other creditor banks waiting for their own. 28 million will basically be spent on repayment, or part of the repayment will be used as a condition to replace it with a new loan with low interest...relatively low interest.

"Don't worry, we've already negotiated." Alicia also laughed. Song Ya hasn't seen any hope of profit after this business is done. Instead, her law firm has already made a lot of money. Besides, I was very full again last night.

"Please allow us to talk in private first, Alicia."

Song Ya tilted her head to Alicia and led her out of the conference room.

"When will you change the Chicago office?" The two came to the corridor, and he asked questions while looking at the appropriate place for this New York main station.

"I'll change it when I go back." Alicia looked forward to it, "I have already looked forward to a place where there is a corner office with floor-to-ceiling glass..."

"APLUS."

At this time Sloan followed, "Welcome to join? Or is there something you two want to talk to behind my back?"

"Uh, of course welcome, how could there be..."

Song Ya glanced at Alicia, who lowered her head and sipped her wine, "After this is done, you can go back to Washington to help me..."

There was no sign of discovery from Sloan's attitude. Song Ya and the two female elites in the workplace chatted for a while, and Pierre came over to greet them, so he put them back to negotiate with the bank.

"Your wife just got on the plane in Los Angeles."

Linda came to remind her that she seemed to have arranged eyeliner in Malibu.

"Really, do you want to catch me if you don't call in advance?" Song Ya whispered with a guilty conscience.
