Chapter 698: Dissuasion
At the end of one of life's most important meetings, Motura was on her elbows on the table, her eyes flickering, clearly engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.
After sending off the special prosecutor and others, the lead lawyer noticed his emotions, "Fifteen working days is the deadline they have given, during which we can add, retract, and change the content of the testimony until they are willing to make a deal." Or, if they are not satisfied, they will still formally initiate a public prosecution, and of course I will not let this happen......"
"I didn't think I'd capsize in this little ditch, did I?"
Motura gritted her teeth, "I should have just destroyed that kid back then!" ”
"Now this case has nothing to do with APLUS, I read the news that he just had a seizure in Silicon Valley and was hospitalized, how many times has this been? He's only twenty years old? I have no doubt that those hedonistic singers will kill themselves themselves, and wait and see, maybe in the next two years. ”
"Our opponent is Giuliani, Tommy, and I have to remind you again that our opponent has become Giuliani, or also FBI Director Freese, and those two guys will pounce like dogs when they smell us Italians," the lawyer said. ”
"Everything about me was ruined by that kid......"
Motura still rubbed her eyebrows and tangled, "Also, that FBI just now, Carl Liteman, he is always asking questions, always asking, constantly asking......"
"It's just psychological tactics, we won't allow them to use polygraphs on you, let alone humanoid polygraphs haha." The lawyer laughed.
"Mr. Motura." A confidant walked in, "The head office has made a result, and Mr. Nobuyuki Idei has been appointed by the board of directors as the co-CEO of Sony." ”
“Fxxk! The guy who can only shoot Akio Morita's ass! Now Schuff Hall's position as president of North Mi is also in danger, and Izui has always wanted to remove him! ”
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Motura was about to collapse under heavy psychological pressure, "Give me Shufhall." ”
"Don't worry about Tommy, Idei is just the co-CEO, and Norio Ohga is still in control."
I don't know if I really don't care or if I'm holding on, the old boss Schuff Hall is optimistic, "We should give Mr. Jing a call, congratulations, Tommy, you know, Orientals like others to give face." ”
"Okay, I will."
"By the way, is your case okay?"
"I don't know, I think there may be some trouble......" At this time, Motura finally chose to tell the truth, "I will probably be criminally prosecuted by New York prosecutors in fifteen working days." ”
“WTF!?”
Schuffhall was stunned, "Didn't you keep telling me that it's okay, it's okay, it's a small thing...... The president of North Missoni Entertainment has been sued for wiretapping its DIVA, do you know how big a scandal it is? Tommy! You're going to hide it from me until the last minute!? ”
"I didn't expect Giuliani to bite people and not let go......," Motura replied frustratedly.
"You...... What's up? ”
Schuff Hall was about to scold, suddenly seemed to be interrupted by something over there, the earpiece had no sound, and Motura didn't dare to hang up, quietly waiting for the inevitable venting, but I didn't expect Schuff Hall to pick up the earpiece again when his tone had become very heavy, "Uh, Tommy, the news just came, our car trade negotiations with the book have just broken down, and the 100% tariff on imported book cars has officially begun......"
"Whew......" Motura exhaled heavily, "The book is forced to be urgent this time, and it will also launch countermeasures, which is not good news for us." ”
"Of course not!"
Schuff Hall finally became furious, "The country will be even more disgusted with its own enterprises!" Those media and politicians must be eager to pull us out and criticize us now! And you, Tommy Motura, have now given Giuliani's bastard the best deal to fame!? ”
"I'm still trying to get a non-prosecution." Motura explained.
"Hehe, it's stupid to put your hopes in politicians, you're in trouble with Tommy...... Maybe it's a good idea to quit your job before you lose face. Schuff Hall hung up the phone.
"That old thing is starting to dissuade me now."
Motura put down the earpiece in a huff, "It was he who compromised APLUS for his own selfish interests, forcing me to the goddamn position of president of Sony Entertainment, and going to fight against Daniel of Sony Columbia Records and Columbia Pictures' Gubel on two fronts......"
"Maybe it's time for you to give up on him, the personnel decision says everything, and Idei becomes our co-CEO, which means that the head office is already preparing to dissuade the old man like he dissuaded Gubel."
Confidant advice, "That old man ran Sony North Mi like this, Gubert and Peters made a huge fortune in Columbia Pictures, Daniel caused Sony Columbia Records to be saddled with an antitrust lawsuit, so many years, in addition to Sony Columbia Records when you were in charge, can you find other managers who can be even a little more normal?" They will only need you more than ever, Mr. Motura. ”
"Thank you for your comfort."
Motura was in a better mood, "Let's pick up Mr. Idei for me......"
Before the phone was connected, he adjusted his mood well, and solemnly cleared his throat, "How many times are you out of Jingsang!" ”
Meanwhile, in Washington, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole's office was brightly lit, with every phone line ringing, and some clerks with two, or even three, receivers around their necks.
"Mr. Dole has not yet made an official announcement, but ...... Yes, he will participate in the general elections next year, it has already been decided. ”
"Sorry, there's nothing else to reveal yet, mate? It's too early to talk about this ......"
"Of course, our attitude towards the current Grand Commander is consistent, and he is not up to the ......"
Everyone was chattering, but the office was very quiet.
"Mr. Doerr, have you really thought about it?"
His chief of staff hesitated to whisper to the hero of World War II, the representative of the old white man of the United States, and now the most powerful politician of the Elephant Party: "This year is different from before, your chances of passing the Elephant Party primary election are very high, which means that you must step down as a senator at that time, and everything you are doing now ...... it."
"Isn't that good? I finally have the best chance to become the Grand Commander. Bob Doll asked rhetorically.
"But it's hard for you to elect the current leader of the Donkey Party, who has a high approval rating......"
The chief of staff continued to persuade: "Why bother? You've just led us back to the House and Senate majorities last year, forced the Donkey Party to pass several bills, and just got the telecommunications bill through the Senate, maybe four years from ......now."
"I've decided, and I've already announced it, okay? Don't talk about this pointless topic anymore, in four years, the former Grand Commander family and Cheney's group should have reconciled all their relationships, and the opportunity waits for no one! And I'm over 70......"
The big guy waved his hand very dissatisfied, "The current commander just messed up the trade negotiations with the book, and their husband and wife are still in a scandal, and the tens of millions of funds I approved to the special prosecutor for the Baishui case should also be a bit of a phased result, and the donkey party's federal budget at the end of the year should not be passed, and when the White House is suspended, the couple's lawsuit ferments, plus the trade retaliation of the book, the political and economic situation will be very different." Stop talking nonsense, let's get straight to the point, campaign consultant, I want to use Roger Ayles from CNBC. ”
"No, Roger Ayres is in the middle of a sex scandal, and although the media tacitly doesn't mention it, Jack Welch, the CEO of General Electric, who controls the NBC network, is already tired of wiping his ass, and will probably sweep him out of the house soon."
The chief of staff refused, "As long as he loses power, the scandal may detonate at any time." ”
"Fxxk, it's a pity, he's the best media guy among conservatives, the best conservative among media guys......"
Bob Dole scolded, "He just helped Giuliani become mayor of New York!" Forget it, forget it, then don't think about it. And then what? We're going to have to dissuade Colin, and I don't want to completely push African-American votes to the other side in the general election because of a fierce competition with him in the party primary. ”
"Okay, this should be done, promising him some government positions, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and even the secretary of state, Colin is still hesitating, that soldier's personality is not very suitable for showing up to get votes." The chief of staff nodded.
"But he's very popular among African-Americans." Bob Dole said.
"Maybe it's a good idea to have him as your running mate." said the chief of staff.
"I have other candidates for this position......"
"I have to dissuade Cheney ......"
The two sides talked for a long time, and an assistant knocked on the door and came in, "Senator Dole, this is the final paragraph of your speech criticizing hip-hop singers on moral issues." ”
"Hmm."
Bob Dole took a cursory look, "The donkey party is too indulgent to these guys, this hip-hop singer called 2PAC can still sell albums in prison, sleep with other people's wives, and be interviewed by the media twice in three days?" What a bad trend...... Well? Why is the paragraph of APLUS being praised as a positive example crossed out, isn't that child's public image good? ”
"I went to the FBI to inquire, and APLUS was also involved in a big case of black cops killing FBI agents in Chicago." The assistant replied.
"Look, what I'm talking about, these guys don't have a good thing." Bob Dole sneered.
"But after the MJ and Simpson case......" the chief of staff reminded.
"yes, I know."
Bob Doll threw the speech away.
The assistant continued to report, "Also, the National Truckers' Union, the Dock Workers' Union, and the Construction Workers' Union are all bargaining with us. ”
"Why? I need their support right now, and it's long overdue for them to return the favor. "Bob Dole was a little upset.
"Their representatives hinted that they were unhappy with Giuliani's persecution of Tommy Motura in New York......," the assistant added, adding, "Tommy Motura has a high reputation among Italians." ”
"Why did Giuliani deal with that Tommy?"
"As the president of Columbia Records, Tommy Motura has long eavesdropped on its most popular female singer, Mariah Carey, and the two used to be boyfriend and girlfriend." The assistant replied.
"Just the for such a small thing?"
Bob Dole smiled, "Pick up Giuliani for me, right now." ”
