In addition to his body, MJ's business empire has also been hit hard, with the Dangerous Journey global tour halted halfway through, and many brands endorsed have terminated their contracts to avoid suspicion, including Pepsi, the beverage giant that has grown up with him all the way, and the Middle East oil trenches who have the most brainless pursuit of him.

"Long-term losses are at least hundreds of millions, right?" Songya called Daniel.

"Definitely, I don't know if this is included in the contract he signed with the insurance company, and it would be fine if the insurance company paid for the loss. But in terms of personal image alone, the damage that has been done cannot be estimated, even if the day the truth is revealed, those tabloids have tasted the sweetness, and the old words will inevitably be revisited in the future, and the impact will be long-term. ”

"The video chain has taken his records out of prominence, and the awards season early next year is also yellow......

"It's really chilling, this is still a time when the criminal investigation is not enough evidence to arrest, and the civil lawsuit has not been resolved." Song Ya sighed.

"Yes, it's a big blow to Sony Columbia Records. Motura, the bastard, who at the company was at odds with me every day, played dead in MJ's case and almost never appeared in front of the media. ”

Although Motura is still the manager of MJ, Daniel's life as president is not easy, after all, things broke out after he just took office, and the decline in MJ's record sales will also drag down his financial report report.

He once again brought up the release of the Want to Want Me single, and after receiving assurances that he would not have to spend too much effort on publicity, Song Ya agreed. It's been 19 months since the release of the first album, and it's been almost a year since the release of the last single Where Is The Love, and the original soundtrack of Dance My Life will have to be released at least simultaneously when the movie is released in the summer of '94.

The novelty of Want to Want Me has long since passed, but it is very popular with female fans, and many of his predominantly female fans have organized songs, and after a highly acclaimed performance at VMA not long ago, MTV took out a replay of the sexy music video starring him and Tyra Banks, and the ratings were unexpectedly good.

All of this became evidence that Daniel supported the song's separate release.

"Is next year's performance important to you?"

Although Daniel was pushed to the position by himself, and the two are almost a community of interests, Daniel is a senior manager responsible for the management after all, and he must consider the overall situation.

"Yes, but you don't have to worry about that, I'm good at it."

Daniel didn't reveal much, and he confidently ended the conversation.

After a good rest for two days, Linda got her grades back in four classes, all of which were average, causing her GPA to drop below three.

"It seems that four courses in one semester are a bit out of my ability."

No way, he is already very attentive this school season, but he still inevitably flies around the whole meter on weekends, and he also has to do all kinds of exercises and deal with company affairs.

"You've done a great job." Linda asked, "Would you like to rest for a few more days?" ”

"There's no time, Mimi's tour on the 23rd is in Los Angeles, and I'm going there to meet her, and then I start to communicate frequently with the main creators of the crew to prepare for the official start of filming in January."

Song Ya asked her, "So, what else do I have to do?" ”

In Chicago, his most urgent task was to complete Claire's matchmaking and talk to the people at Dow Chemical.

Dow is particularly sincere, and has a deep relationship with the other shareholder of Barnes, the Northern Trust, the person on Claire's business card is their head in Chicago, and O'Grady of the Northern Trust came together, perhaps from O'Grady learned about Barn's gross profit this year, and came up to talk without saying a word, and directly threw out a 103 million knife, a draft of a wholly-owned acquisition of Barnes.

"That's 100 million dollars......"

Song Ya was shocked by the other party's offer, and after the guests left, he still maintained the posture of the meeting, sitting in the living room of Highland Park, his eyes never left the draft text, and kept muttering to himself.

"Yes, a business of 100 million dollars......"

Goodman wasn't much better, and kept echoing like a transponder.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it? Your company has made 18 million dollars a year, and it can make 100 million dollars in five or six years. Linda said.

"That's not how it counts, Linda......"

Song Ya shook his head and smiled, "First of all, that is the gross profit, and the net profit is far from this number, and secondly, I only have 80% of the shares of Barn Company, and then it is impossible to divide the net profit into my pocket every year, and I don't care about anything in the second year." ”

"And ...... in two years"

Goodman also came to his senses, "In two years, your factory will be surrounded by nearby residents. ”

"Yes, the company's development has encountered a bottleneck, the production capacity has reached its peak, and the fluorescent party does not know when it will be out of fashion." Song Ya said: "Other companies can bypass our patents of similar products, and I don't know when they will suddenly be launched. ”

What he said to Edward and the others before was a bluff, how could he be willing to donate it to the black brothers as cheap units......

"And agreeing to this acquisition is 80 million dollars in the bag." "If you don't take into account the incentives that you've promised to management equity before," Goodman said. ”

It has only been a year since the former commander approved the sale of the equipment to Huaguo, which is equivalent to saying that the transaction at that time added a fluorescent agent factory, and in Song Ya's hands in just one year, it has changed from a loss to a high-quality asset worth 100 million, "What does Dow Chemical want to do when it acquires Barn Company?" They're not just going to be optimistic about fluorescent agents for parties and nightclubs, are they? ”

He asked as he stared at Song Ya with complicated eyes.

"It must be a glow stick, the book turned that kind of mining equipment into a concert support prop, which invisibly broadens the market, just like I use fluorescent agent at a rave party."

Song Ya replied: "And the transformation of things from industrial use to civilian use, the demand for harmlessness is highlighted. ”

"It's the best offer ever." Goodman said.

In order to deal with Dow's acquisition, they communicated with DuPont and even Toray and other books and German companies in advance.

Almost all of those companies want to acquire patents or get patent licenses, and the offer is far less sincere than Dow's.

Or maybe Dow's strategy is different from theirs, just take the money and stun the young hip-hop singer directly, and then everything will be easy.

"Do you want to inform Claire about this?" Goodman asked.

"Don't ......"

Song Ya hurriedly waved her hand, "Claire is just a broker, she and Underwood may not know that this acquisition is worth 100 million, if they know, they will definitely find a way to get involved and get some benefits, I know this party whip couple." ”

Before the acquisition of Bath Chemical, he was tossed enough by Underwood, and Song Ya didn't want to do it again.

"Dow will definitely expand production after getting the factory, so it is possible for the company to move from Illinois to Michigan next door......"

Goodman warned.

"Yes...... "This is a big problem, and it is impossible for local politicians to watch everything happen and ignore it, after all, jobs and taxes will run away."

"Hey! What's wrong with you guys? If the factory is really sold, the rest will be all Dow's own problem, isn't it? ”

Linda said, "Is it necessary to worry about this for a chemical giant?"

"If glow sticks are popular in the whole meter, what is the market capacity?" Song Ya asked.

Goodman shrugged, "You count, big and small concerts and music festivals are almost non-stop all over the country, and glow sticks are disposable consumables, if they become a trend like the book, and everyone has one or more ......"

"So it's possible that this price is cheaper, right?" Song Ya asked.

Goodman and Linda laughed at the same time, "If you can bring glow sticks to the fire in the United States, it will definitely be cheaper." "But the time and financial risk of a chemical plant expansion alone is not something you can easily afford." ”

"I'll think about it." Song Ya's heart is full of 80 million, but the broader and more brilliant future seems to be not so far away......
