Chapter 940: Sloan's Gold Lord Theory
With the Shura field in sight and unable to provide services right away, Song Ya put the money in his pocket and talked to Sloan about the election.
Next month is the day when the results of the party primaries will be announced, and in terms of political investment, Michelle's husband will almost certainly win, and he will have an absolute advantage in the one-on-one battle with his Elephant opponents in June and November, and he has a strong campaign team and fundraising ability, and as long as nothing else, he has already reserved a seat in the Illinois Senate.
The other donation objects, the current commander, deputy commander, Underwood and others are also very stable, only the drunkard Russell supported by Underwood, is still a few points behind his opponent in the polls, and he stumbled in the election.
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Song Ya asked his political adviser, "Running for the U.S. House of Representatives seems to be a bit beyond Russell's personal ability, and most of the voters in the district he is now going to are white blue-collar workers and their families, and it won't be very effective for me to help endorse them." β
"Russell is very good at mingling with the workers, and now he's just dragged down by rumors that Dow might close the Chicago fluorescent agent factory, and the accusations of the fluorescent workers that he ran away from the old district have spread to the new one, you know, the blue-collar workers have their own channels of communication."
Sloan's business level is not said.
"Maybe get the governor to help stand on the platform once?" Song Ya asked.
"Your support is interesting enough, APLUS, and the donations of all kinds of politicians that you have made through various channels are far beyond what a black singer would do. Even if you had promised Underwood, even if Russell didn't choose him, I can't think of how cheeky Underwood would be to blame you. β
Sloan took the opportunity to give his opinion, "I have studied the level of support you have given to politicians over the years, and I have found that you are not at all a qualified financier until now, and you always give politicians more than average money, which is not good. β
"The politicians helped me solve a lot of problems, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am now." Song Ya replied.
"The general direction is right, but politicians are annoyed that there are always troubles and need help, and they have to take extra risks for this, and the vast majority of politicians don't like anything uncontrollable. And it's not good for you, it can make you coerced by politicians, or abandoned. β
"Both the financier and the politician have their own responsibilities, obligations and tacit understanding, and the ideal state is that after the relationship is established, the politician helps your business, so that your interest structure will be more stable, and you will be in a psychological comfort zone with each other," Sloan said. After binding to a certain extent, everyone's handles have each other's handles, and it's easy to say anything if there is any trouble. β
"But the frustrating fact at the moment is that I don't want to hide from all kinds of inexplicable troubles, so let's take the Kunness case, if I were white, would I need to spend so much money?" Song Ya asked rhetorically.
"Anyway, I don't think it's good, you have to get the politicians to help you make more money, that's what they should do, not always linked to murders, treason and things like that, although I understand that you have no control over it personally." Sloan said: "Otherwise, if you give more and ask less, they will murmur in their hearts, and they will either be more active in investigating whether you have caused trouble, or like Gore will take money and still keep a considerable distance with caution, or they will treat you as a wronged leader." β
"Hmm."
Song Ya listened to this, didn't Underwood suddenly trick himself into buying Barn Company? I don't know what's going on, I always had a self-esteem towards politicians earlier, and I really need to adjust, "How do you think I can ask them to repay me and help me make money after this election year?" β
"Politicians can use taxpayers' money or public funds, and it's a lot of money to make grants, bailouts, and so on, for example, when Michelle's husband is elected, he will have some power in the Illinois legislature......"
"Together, he and his wife manage hundreds of millions of semi-public funds and charitable donations, and most of that money is going to the black community, and your A+CN is a black media, or a serious black media based in Chicago, doesn't it deserve to receive government and related organization assistance like the inner city broadcaster," Sloan said. Didn't you say that A+CN couldn't stand the loss, and Oprah seemed to want to take advantage of the fire? Oprah's offer is low, and it may compete with you for control of the company, while government grants or special funds are much more generous, and those are not the politicians' own money, and they have little incentive to keep an eye on your specific business ...... for a long time."
"Makes sense, go ahead."
Song Ya's eyes lit up.
"And for media like A+CN, your shareholding ratio is too high, and the personal color is too strong, otherwise Jesse Helms could only go to Gordon that time, and not directly at you, I think it's best to lower it before the election in the second half of the year becomes more and more intense, at least to the extent of the inner city broadcaster, of course, without losing control." Sloan said.
"Hmm."
So it has to be reduced to a level that is not noticeable, but has control, given that A+CN is currently losing a lot of money and has no hope of making a profit, there is really no good way to solve it except to use the money in the hands of politicians, "You can help me design a more balanced approach, Ms. Sloan, I will learn slowly behind you." β
Song Ya's brain was quick to draw inferences.
It's a pity that the environment is a bit bad, and many of Al's friends are local DJs, who keep coming to greet the king of Chicago rap.
This group of people is familiar with each other, and he did deal with some of them when he first debuted, and Song Ya was a little annoyed to deal with it, and by the way, he also learned from them that Jazzy was boasting that he was his partner.
Jazzy owns 25% of Roc-A-Fella Records, and his wholly-owned A+ Records owns 50% of Roc-A-Fella, and he makes sense to use the word partner, but it's like the JD (Juris Doctor) degree he wants to go to to be called a doctor, but the owner of the degree will never be embarrassed to call himself like that, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to add the title of Dr in front of his surname, which is a matter of cheekiness.
Of course, it's a bit too much to talk to hip-hop artists about the thickness of their skin, but Jazzy is a guy who can take every opportunity to put gold on his face.
Song Ya looked at Jazzy, who was laughing and talking to BeyoncΓ© and other girls of the Destiny True Girl Group on the other side of the lawn, history is really stubborn, it seems that they can still come together in the future.
Of course, not now, BeyoncΓ© is still young, and her stern father, Matthew Norris, has joined the chat in the past to take on supervisory duties.
No matter what, just rub it, it's still the same sentence, you can make money for me, don't mind being rubbed.
Al's big event is not good for him to slip away, in short, first avoid the endless communication, and then solve the matter of the Shura field, cousin Tony and silencer and many other people are surrounding Eskuber to have fun, Mira and Big A, Delai gathered not far away, Song Ya walked over and hugged her waist, "What are you talking about?" β
"Al's pre-wedding party, I heard it was fun?" Mira smiled and blinked, "Why don't you participate?" β
Song Ya remembered the day when she was almost killed by a fire axe, rolled her eyes, and Da A raised her chin, "He always arranges the show very excessively." β
"Ha, I did my best to APLUS, and everyone was very happy that day." Big A retorted: "Just let go of the play, what can M-fxxk have." β
"He's worried that the girls you've found will talk nonsense."
DeLay replied with help. In the eyes of fans, it's one thing to be a scumbag in the game, and it's another thing to be a dancer who doesn't go into the stream, and it's not a picky eater at all to mess around is not worthy of the name of a trend superstar, and Delai, who does gossip content sites, knows this very well.
"Shxt, don't question my professionalism." Big A gestured his middle finger at the two.
"Shall we go talk to Amy?" Song Ya chatted for a while, looking for an opportunity to ask in Mira's ear.
"Oh." Mira, who had just been happy, was depressed.
