"You know what? Boy, don't think you can do anything just by making some money selling records. ”

After being repeatedly rejected by Song Ya, the elder Barn began to pour 82-year-old Lafite cup after cup in a fit of anger, drinking himself like a red neck, completely unmatched his net worth's demeanor, and his words changed from African-American to black unconsciously, "You know what? There were a few black people who had the opportunity to build their own business empires in Chicago, but they all failed, the black gambling king was kicked out of Chicago by Jankana (the godfather of the Chicago mafia in the fifties and sixties, a Kennedy supporter, and one of Monroe's rumored boyfriends), and the black textile tycoon (who began to flood Chicago in the fifties, providing a lot of cheap labor for the local light industry) also went bankrupt, and they were all richer than you, lots and lots of money......"

This guy was dazed, and as he spoke, he looked at the plate in front of him fixedly, and didn't say a word.

Edward sighed, "That's all for today. ”

Old Barn's chemical plant can't be built, but Edward lost even more, Song Ya doesn't know the specific transaction details between this Wall Street investment elite who is proficient in mergers and acquisitions and spin-offs and old Barnes, but they must be grasshoppers tied to a rope now, and if they don't split and sell the chemical plant for a day, they will bleed for a day.

Goodman and Hamlin were a little disappointed, this time the other party obviously went to this dinner because of Song Ya's money, and they didn't mean to look at the two law firms at all, "Okay, let's talk next time, Mr. Edward." ”

"Forget it, Hamlin, you've seen the end of Will Gardner too......"

In the car, Hamlin, who had always been full of ambition when Song Ya came, advised: "Without the political power to help them bypass Batumi, they will not be able to really solve their problems." ”

The relocation of the chemical plant was blocked, and the local workers, who had been 'dealt with', saw the opportunity to keep the company, but gradually regained their organizational strength and operated more and more actively, and the politicians could not ignore the votes of the large number of workers and their families, so they became more and more unwilling to help Barn and Edward Sr. solve the problem. At the beginning, this was not done while the iron was hot, and the spin-off case of Bath Chemical was about to become a dead end.

Hamlin nodded, "I can see that too, APLUS." ”

Goodman laughed: "Those small and medium-sized investors who were deceived into the bureau earlier are miserable. ”

Song Ya was also fooled by the other party, but fortunately he didn't have a spur of the moment, of course, he really didn't have any spare money at that time.

A few days later, news came from Hayden that Littleman had returned to New York, and that he was willing to talk about the acquisition, but he inquired about Song Ya behind Donovan's businessman friend, and pointed it out plainly, and he only talked to Song Ya.

"You have a lot of competitors APLUS, and it's not that easy to win the American Music Magazine."

At a golf course on Long Island, Litman struck the ball out with a neat swing and said to Song Ya like an old friend, as if the American music magazine was not owned by him at all. The 50-year-old white tycoon, who was judged by a financial magazine to be worth about $100 million, was rooted in traditional industries in the past, and has frequently made moves into the media field in recent years.

This is the second time since Las Vegas was taken by Jordan to play golf, Song Ya touched the golf club, he learned the opponent's posture, and hit the ball into the bunker not far away, "Can you know who my competitors are?" ”

"NONO, THIS IS A TRADE SECRET, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO TELL YOU."

Littleman sat in a golf cart next to him, "I'll be waiting for you on the hole in front." "Walk away.

"What an old fox."

Although Littleman's method of throwing Ms. Fleming away was a long time for Song Ya, it was another thing to actually deal with him, Song Ya walked into the bunker and found her ball, "Uh, should I change the pole?" He asked Taraghi, who was carrying a long tubular bag beside him.

Taragi rolled his eyes and rested the bag in front of him, and the two people from the slums looked at the dozen clubs of different shapes, their minds blanked......

"Hayden, let Donovan help find out who else is making an offer to America Music Magazine."

Song Ya simply moved the ball towards the hole one by one while maintaining mobile phone communication with Hayden, "I have a gut feeling that Littleman doesn't seem to want us to join forces, so the others who are interested in this magazine must be my acquaintances." ”

"I understand, Donovan also has some speculation."

Hayden took over the task.

After initial contact with Litman, both sides seemed to have reached their tentative purpose, and in the evening, the first competitor appeared into Song Ya's sight, Ms. Shirley Fleming, the former editor-in-chief who was ruthlessly kicked out of the magazine, gathered some of the magazine's original editors and classical musicians to join forces to buy the magazine back.

"No matter how old money declines, it's okay to take out millions of dollars, but Shirley Fleming's group will definitely not be able to bear the magazine's losses year after year, if she continues to be the editor-in-chief and follow the old style......

In the evening, Hayden came to Tribeca Songya's house, "But this old woman has a really strong personality, if I were her, I would probably close the door to thank the guests, she was played a little hard by Littman this time." ”

"It's definitely more than Shirley Fleming."

Song Ya judged, "She can't compete with me, it's impossible for Littman not to know this." ”

"Would you like us to visit again?" "It's a different story, you can actually join forces, and the odds will be greater." ”

"No, I don't want her to continue to be the editor-in-chief, and now that I come to the door, I'm afraid I can't help but laugh out loud in front of her."

"Hahaha!"

"APLUS, Donovan." Taragi came in, "I'll turn the phone into the study?" ”

"Okay." Song Ya waited for the phone to ring and turned on the speakerphone.

"Quincy Jones! It's Quincy Jones! Donovan shouted very loudly, "This guy wants to take down America too!" ”

“FXXK！” Song Ya and Hayden cursed at the same time.

Quincy Jones is gone, Song Ya's financial resources are not enough, and this guy obviously only targeted American music after Song Ya consulted him after he ran into a wall at Fleming's house last time, which is very unkind.

He didn't reveal any news to Song Ya, and it is estimated that he planned to sneak attack from the beginning.

"This old immortal is really not authentic, I can understand why MJ turned against him back then. How do you know it's him? Song Ya asked.

"Quincy Jones has found a partner, Russell Simmons, one of the owners of DefJam Records, and the news is from DefJam Records, which is absolutely reliable." William Morris was very well informed.

DefJam Records is a black hip-hop music label in New York, the oldschool (old-school hip-hop) and political rap style was very strong in the mid-eighties, and it owned first-class singers such as LLCoolJ, and in the late eighties, after the rise of gangster rap led by .A, they began to gradually decline, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Russell Simmons, as one of the bosses, has accumulated financial resources over the years.

"Since two of the top black bosses in the record industry have joined forces, they won't let a newcomer like you get involved, and the status is not equal."

Donovan's judgment and Song Ya's perspective are different, but the result is the same.

"I really wanted to call him and scold him, obviously I targeted him first, not me, I guess he won't notice this magazine at all." Song Ya was indignant.

"So what do we do? Abandon? Hayden asked.

"Isn't it right for me to give up so easily?" Song Ya shook her head, "Hayden, ask Shirley Fleming for me, even if I can't get this magazine, I'll cause them some trouble." ”

"APLUS, calm down, Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons are black, Shirley Fleming and the magazine editor behind her are white with classical musicians!" Donovan warned by phone, "You're going to have to count on Quincy Jones for awards season in January and February." ”

"I'm calm."

Song Ya thought about it carefully for a while, "They don't want to eat me so easily, I even carried all kinds of Motura methods, if I retreat easily this time, I won't get the respect of Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons in the future, they don't respect me, can I count on their help in the awards season?" And how can I say that there is also a symphonic work of more than two minutes, which can barely be counted as a classical musician, isn't it? ”8)
