Chapter 1016: I think I'm unlucky
When Jason and Scott arrived at the police station, the police had already searched Cohen's house and found no items related to the new song, but they did find something more interesting - the debris of the du.
Jason was surprised to learn such powerful information after leaving He Lushen's interrogation room, and the police observed his expression and compared Scott's reaction just now.
They asked Scott seriously if he had known that Cohen had been sucking du.
Scott was shocked, and quickly denied it, leaving the relationship aside, "No, no, I just had a guess about this," he glanced at Jason, who had just come over, hesitated and said, "At the beginning of this year, Cohen approached me and asked me to give him a salary increase of ten percentage points, but I didn't agree, and we had a very heated argument at that time. ”
Jason exclaimed, "Why didn't you tell me!"
"I just took it as a very ordinary little thing, and I didn't pay attention to it," said Scott, as the boss, who receives requests for raises every three days, but every boss wants to hire employees for the lowest salary, even if that employee is Cohen, who has been working under Scott for ten years.
Scott is ahead of his interests and will not budge.
And at that time, he had already noticed that Cohen's face didn't seem to be very good, gray and blue, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he had lost a lot of weight. He asked him if he was sucking du, which Cohen vehemently denied. In the American music industry, snorting is commonplace, and the more famous you are, the more you suck, and the more you look for inspiration, people who don't participate in it are outliers. Jason and Scott are both outliers, they hate du products, don't look at Jason's tattoos, he once participated in the filming of the public service announcement for the ban on du in the United States, and he is also the spokesperson for the ban du in New York State.
Scott and Jason's three views on du products are surprisingly consistent, he explicitly forbids employees to smoke du, and violators are fired, so his company has always been clean, and there are almost no illegal and criminal disputes.
After that, Cohen offered two more raises. Shortly after Scott and Jason returned to the U.S. from China, he asked Scott why he would rather pay a $1 million for a Chinese influencer than pay more for his 10-year-old employee.
In fact, Cohen's salary is not only one of the highest in Scott's, but also very few music producers in all the record companies and independent music studios in the United States who can earn his salary.
Scott was still immersed in the frustration and irritability of the $7 million price difference, and Cohen was so ignorant that he didn't give him face, sneering, "Because J and I believe that girl can bring us at least 100 times the profit, can you too?"
Unexpectedly, Cohen was like a lit firecracker, and Sistheni yelled at him, "I have worked for you for 10 years, produced 7 albums and 43 tunes for Jason, and he won the Grammys with 3 of them, he can be popular, famous and make money, it is all my credit, why can't I let my efforts get the value they deserve? My salary has not increased for two whole years!"
Scott was frightened by the madness, but the noise didn't change his calculating nature, "The salary I paid you is absolutely reasonable, and you ask yourself, how much has your talent improved in the past two years?J can't create new works, do you provide him with any help in any way? You are a composer, why don't you write a decent piece yourself?!Your so-called value is based on your cooperation with J, without J, you are nothing! You are not worth the amount of money you ask for! If you're really unhappy with us, you can get out of here and find another job. Scott was annoyed, and he told Cohen to go, but Cohen didn't, and he touched his nose and stopped arguing with Scott.
Scott thinks back to it now, and I'm afraid that at that time, the seeds of hatred had been planted in Cohen's heart.
After Liu Yan arrived in the United States, the company began to prepare for the recording of Jason's new song, and Cohen proposed a salary increase to Scott for the third time, but Scott still refused mercilessly, and this time, Cohen did not quarrel with him again, turned his head and left, before leaving, he looked at Scott's meaningful eyes, which made Scott remember it deeply.
"It's my fault, I didn't think he would have done such a great job," Scott said to Jason and the cops, "if I had a good talk with him and agreed to his request, I wouldn't be in trouble now!"
Can Scott not regret it? Cohen's expected salary is a drop in the bucket compared to what they have lost!
Jason realized why Cohen strangely asked him that night if he could get a share of the bonuses he had allocated to his employees. This shows how far Cohen's pursuit of money has become! Even Jason's money is in mind.
"No, even if you agree to his request, he will not be satisfied!" Jason was sure, "he has been corrupted by Dupin, his temperament has changed greatly, and he has degenerated into a moth." ”
It takes money to smoke du, and Cohen is still smoking the purest and most expensive kind of high-end du, if the ordinary American middle class is contaminated with this kind of du, they will definitely go bankrupt, so many homeless beggars on the side of the road in New York, at least half of them have become like that because of dupin, this is still a better result, many people in order to get du, to rob, to sell, and even to make money and kill people, and finally embark on a road of no return.
Isn't that exactly what Cohen is all about?
He must have gotten a lot of money by selling Jason's new songs to pirates or rival companies, and he ran away with that money, and now he's probably out of the country.
The police investigation also confirmed Jason's suspicions, and they soon found out that Cohen had left the airport at 9:40 p.m. last night and flew to Colombia, which was a perfect plan.
"It's really troublesome, we have to ask the Colombian government for help, even if we find someone, we have to extradite them back, if it involves local dukes, this should be the work of the FBI," the police felt that the case was beyond their purview, and he told Jason and Scott the truth, "It will be very difficult and time-consuming to hunt down Cohen, and even if you catch him in the end, it will be difficult to recover your losses." ”
In short, let them consider themselves unlucky!
Scott's feeling at the moment is as uncomfortable as eating, he cares more about money than Jason, and he is afraid that he will lose a lot this time!
At that moment, Jason suddenly reached into his pocket and said, "Strange, where's my phone?
Scott also got nervous, Jason has the final demo version of the new song in his phone, if it is obtained by the outlaws, and what kind of moth will they make, they don't expect to make money this year, "Did you not bring it with you when you came out?"
