Chapter 412: Whistleblowing
Law school is still early, at this stage, keep the GPA above 3 at the undergraduate level as an honor student, just pave the way for applying to law school, "I will work hard for it, but the LSAT test is difficult to ......" Song Ya said modestly.
"You can handle it, I'm optimistic about you boy." Underwood clenched his fists and tapped Song Ya's chest lightly, then walked to the window and looked outside.
"I'm going to deal with the guests." Claire went out with a smile and closed the door.
There should be something.
"You know about Peter's idiot? A scandal that is very embarrassing for us. Underwood said.
"Rumor has it that the deputy who will take over will dig deep into the cases he has previously handled." Song Ya took the opportunity to express his doubts, he believed that it was also the other party's, Peter and Chicago politics are very deep, and it is impossible to help himself alone with his 'small favor'.
"Cars, a pathetic bureaucrat who can't hold the position of Cook County Attorney in the next election at the end of '94, everyone knows that he is still living in a dream!" Speaking of which, Underwood didn't hide his emotions, "But that's how it happened, so we're all going to have to live with the next year and a half." β
This position is like an umbrella, it is very important, it's okay for a star like himself, without this umbrella, it is estimated that local politicians are more panicked, such as the current Underwood.
"A year and a half, not a long time." Song Ya said.
"But it's not short." Underwood turned around and sat down, "Okay, let's not talk about this, I have something for you to do." He took out a resume-like document from a drawer, "In the constituency where the former Barn Chemical is located, I want to arrange a state congressman named Russell, a young man with a bright future, who is very popular with the workers. β
Of course, Song Ya was willing to help, and if the state congressman in Barn's constituency was his own, it would be much less trouble, and he picked up his resume, and the photo above was a balding young white man, twenty-nine years old, with an average education, but he had worked in workers' rights organizations for nearly ten years, and he had been involved in politics since he was twenty years old.
"Looks like a potential rising star from the bottom?" He asked, "What should I do?" Help him stand on the platform, sing a song while fundraising, or something? β
"Haha, it's not that simple this time."
Underwood laughed a few times and straightened his face: "Edward, the Wall Street investor, he is developing the real estate around your chemical plant, and I heard that he has found several local Chicago builder allies, and the project is progressing quickly. In this constituency, he has his favorite candidate, who is a member of the Elephant Party. β
"Factory owners vs. real estate developers?" Song Ya understood, "It seems that our situation is not good......
"It should be fine to put Russell in your factory to canvass for votes, let him go and unite the workers and their families, and you will also support you in the back. Homes in that constituency are not yet for sale, so they can't get their hands on the votes of the owners who hate the existence of the factory. Underwood thought everything through, "This is wiping our ass for our previous collaboration, can you understand?" β
"Edward relieved? This guy is the one who indirectly helped him solve the Barn Chemical case! β
Of course, Song Ya can understand that Underwood, under the umbrella of his own and Caterpillar, forced Edward to accept the supplementary agreement that the fluorescent agent factory would not be relocated according to the original contract, but Edward's Wall Street elite would not honestly have the slightest intention to make up for it.
"This is your mistake boy, don't think that everything will be fine if the contract is signed, he can use the cooperation of politicians and future residents to report pollution and get politicians to intervene is enough to shut down your factory. You should have found a way to make him hate you so much, Edward is a guy who can't get revenge, and the lawyer who is called Will Gardner has made more money than he shouldn't have earned, and he will not let the other party go out of business, and it is in the face of bankruptcy of his own. β
"So we're going to put our own people in advance and hold that constituency," Underwood said. You'll be in trouble with Edward's men, and I don't want you to cry and run over and try to drag me into the water. β
"I see, I'll do my best to cooperate with Russell."
Inspired by this, Song Ya plans to start selecting his favorite local representatives not only in Barnes' constituency, but also in the constituencies of A+ Pedals and A+ Records.
"But you can't be too conspicuous, and if the person you like loses the election, you'll be in trouble."
Returning from Underwood, Goodman worriedly reminded of his plan, "And that kind of politician who mingles with the workers is a double-edged sword, and you'll know it later when you want to lay off workers." β
"I understand that if you lose your bet, it's better not to gamble, so we have to be very careful and prefer to bet on both sides."
Song Ya called the general manager of Barn, "You have someone make a visitor access card for a candidate for the state House of Representatives named Russell, the highest level, and I will have Taraghi fax his information to you." β
The state congressman is not a big political figure, but if there is business in his district, it is a different matter, and the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and this sentence applies everywhere.
"Boss, a man who calls himself Damon Dash wants to see you." The front desk dialed the landline to report, "He yelled at the door, without an appointment." β
"I really can't keep the secret on the NAS side!"
Song Ya didn't expect that he had just secretly observed Jazzy, and was chased to Chicago by his men, and he knew that it must be the news leaked by NAS, "Let him in, I'll meet him." β
The short black man nicknamed Dame, whose full name is Damon Dash, should be only about twenty-five years old, but he has been called the most cunning street guy in Brooklyn by NAS, he walked into his office, came up and shook the neckline of his A+ brand T-shirt with both hands, "Hey, APLUS, sorry, I'm a little presumptuous." β
"Sit down, what's the matter with you? I'm short on time. Song Ya casually pointed to the chair in front of the boss's desk.
"Thank you."
Dame staggered over and sat down, "I know your time is precious, but you've observed Jazzy in private, right?" It was revealed by the NAS's follower, are you optimistic about him? I said that he was very excited when he heard that you were looking for him quietly, but I advised him not to rush to meet you in Chicago, and let me talk to you first. β
The real M-Fxxk's follower, Song Ya has never seen a few black star followers who can do one thing from beginning to end, and it looks like he has to complain to NAS, which is simply unreliable.
"I haven't heard his music, but ......"
Song Ya was talking clichΓ©s, Dame took out a box of videotapes from his arms and put it in front of him, "We are not the kind of singers who play around with tickets, we have even made many MVs, but no record company is willing to sign Jazzy to help release it." I'm not presuming qualifications or anything for him, but seriously Jazzy did make his debut in the late '80s, and we drove around performing and selling records along the way that weren't officially released, which was very popular. β
Selling unreleased records along the way? It's a drop-in dealer, right? Song Ya had already seen through this kind of routine of claiming to be a rapper, and he and Goodman looked at each other, and Goodman took the tape and stuffed it into the VCR.
What was filmed in '90 was unexpectedly not a typical low-budget rap of a few black people sitting around a car on the street, singing and dancing along with a big thick gold chain to fool around the whole song, with bands, cutouts, and good editing. It seems self-evident where the money comes from for this kind of production.
In the music video, Jazzy sings a typical New York-style old-fashioned rap, with mediocre lyrics, but that younger and more immature voice than Empire State Of Mind is very recognizable, which is a very good quality among rappers, and ear grabbing is better than everything at some point, like Big E, Snoop Dogg, etc.
And Dre suffers from the loss of that voice that is close to ordinary people, does not scratch the ears, and the production ability is something that cannot be heard or touched, and in the songs he sings with Snoop Dog, it is often the part that Snoop Dog is responsible for.
And the speed of speech and the bite are also above the level, he is indeed a talent, no wonder he will be popular in the future......
"I understand, I can't make a decision now, you let Jazzy wait for news." Song Ya watched a song and was ready to leave the other party perfunctory for the time being.
"Then I'll wait for your good news APLUS."
Dame didn't dwell on the little characters who were in a hurry to become famous, and he rejected Goodman's return of the tape, "Keep it." β
Got up and staggered to the door, "I know you cherish feathers APLUS, we haven't done that for a long time, I'll stay in Chicago for the next few days, waiting for you to reply." He turned back and said the next word.
Song Ya looked at his back as he left and fell into deep thought.
"You want to sign this person?" Goodman asked.
"There are suspicions of trafficking." Song Ya replied: "And NAS said that these guys are very difficult to get rid of, you see, isn't this just coming to Chicago?" β
"So he lied to you before he left?" Goodman gestured to the door.
"NAS says this guy is the most cunning guy in Brooklyn, so he shouldn't have a few words of truth in his mouth." Song Ya recalls that in the original lyrics of Empire State Of Mind, Jazzy used to boast that he had hidden his powder in the M mark near Broadway and on 560 Main Street, so ......
"Let's verify it first. If you want to find a way to anonymously report it to the New York police, just say that there are people hiding in M Mark near Broadway, and M Mark on 560 Street......"
