Chapter Ninety-Seven: Eighteen Votes

In a local café in the evening, Songya and Al are chatting with three black men across from them.

They were the only three black employees at Warren Brothers' synthesizers, all blue-collar workers, one a warehouse manager and company security guard, and two production line workers.

Blue-collar workers generally like to go to taverns when talking about things, but today the bartender in the nearby tavern didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he had to check Song Ya's age, and Song Ya naturally couldn't take out the sixteen-year-old driver's license in his pocket, so he was kicked out of the bar for the first time after the crossing, so he had to change the meeting place to this café in a gloomy manner.

"The bartender must have read the news about you in the newspapers, a sixteen-year-old talented musician or something......"

The eldest worker smiled: "Otherwise, just by looking at your appearance, he will never ask to check your age." ”

Song Ya chatted with them for about half an hour, and then mentioned the matter of repatriation, and proposed that for the sake of the same race, the conditions could be secretly higher, which was also Wilgardner's idea.

"Thank you for the coffee, sorry, we won't betray our co-workers."

The other party politely refused, and the three of them got up directly to say goodbye, "We also came to meet you for the sake of being black, otherwise we wouldn't have come, sorry." ”

"Okay." Song Ya had no choice but to shake hands with them and say goodbye.

"They're whiter than white." Al refers to the other party's politeness is not like a black person, in fact, this is not surprising, the Warren Brothers synthesizer company has already gone through several rounds of layoffs before the resale, and the company is not big, and the boss is willing to raise it until the last minute, it must be some employees who are more down-to-earth.

"Hmm......" Song Ya took out the company roster from her bag, found the home address and phone number of the storekeeper among the three just now, copied it down and handed it to Al, "You look for it and say that I want to talk to him alone later." ”

"Is it possible for him to turn back?" Al asked.

"I don't plan to fire him, doesn't A+ Records lack a front desk and security, I think he is suitable."

Song Ya had seen the warehouse of the Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company before, although there was a lot of dust, but everything was sorted and organized in an orderly manner, and this storekeeper was one of the few people who could still stick to his post at that time, he didn't say a word in the chat just now, he seemed to have a very introverted personality, he was one meter nine tall, in his twenties, very strong, Song Ya felt that this person named Mawota was reliable at first sight, and there was no problem in deterring Big A.

Of course, Big A is much more respectful to himself now than before, firstly, he is becoming more and more popular, and secondly, he was unscathed in the hands of the stormtroopers last time, and he suppressed the unknown Big A.

Al went to find Mavota, Songya waited at the café, and Roberto Claywell came with Andrew and Hunter, whom he had seen in the company during the day.

These two white men are both technical nerds, and when Song Ya deliberately kept asking about MIDI and synthesizer technology, they gradually talked more and more, and their eyebrows were about to dance.

"There is no future for continuing to make synthesizers, this company is too powerful, and the GM standard of the new MIDI is also designed based on the GS standard of the book Roland company, and we have no technical reserves."

"But pedals don't have much technical content, and when the MIDI common standard becomes popular, our pedals should be sold well, and besides, they are selling well."

"YES, WINDOWS IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM FROM MICROSOFT, AND MS-DOS IS ALSO HIS FAMILY, AND IT SUPPORTS THE NEW MIDI STANDARD VERY WELL."

"In the future, we can use the PC to generate and modify MIDI files, and all synthesizers and peripherals can be used, making music production countless times easier."

"Stocks? Microsoft seems to be listed on the NASDAQ, right? We don't know. ”

Like Mawota, Song Ya had a good impression of the two who were still sticking to their posts during the day, and offered to recruit them to join A+ Records, "Since this year's new MIDI standard is conducive to music production, and my record company doesn't have anyone who understands computers, you can all come over, the company is in Chicago." ”

In the original MV of Remember the Name, the original singer once greeted and shook hands with the person sitting in front of the computer screen, Song Ya didn't care at the time, now that I think about it, those who should work in the original recording studio, and it should be the norm to use PC to assist music production in the future, and A+ Records needs such talents.

Andrew and Hunter are both tech nerds who are not married and have no girlfriends, and they have no resistance to going to Chicago, and they and those blue-collar workers can't pee in the same pot, so they agreed to Song Ya's proposal on the spot to pay for the first time and then work at A+ Records, of course, Song Ya's promised salary is much better than now.

The two left, and Roberto Clevell stayed, "How's it going?" I have a good eye, right? He said.

"Thank you, Roberto." Song Ya thanked him.

"Don't be too busy just yet."

Roberto Claywell finally said the real purpose of his follow, the pedal factory, "You also heard just now, the Warren brothers synthesizer company can still sell pedals, and technically the Warren brothers have already invested a lot of money, if we only keep the pedal factory, we may still make money." ”

He wanted to take a stake in the pedal factory after the divestment of other businesses, and proposed moving the factory away from the increasingly expensive New York neighborhood to Florida, which is close to Brazil, where the rest of the pedals could be made by his family's business in Brazil.

Song Ya wanted to hand over the OEM to Huaguo, in which case it would not be appropriate for the pedal factory to stay in an East Coast state like Florida, where he would like the Bay Area near San Francisco on the West Coast.

Roberto Clevard also has no opinion, he said that as long as he can be allowed to take shares, "It's still five percent, I don't have the energy to take care of the company or anything, it's just an ordinary investment, I feel that although you are young, you are much more reliable than the two idiots of the Warren brothers." ”

The two reached a preliminary verbal agreement.

After he leaves, Al brings Mawota back, the taciturn black big man who finally nods under Songya's two-hour high-intensity flickering, and similarly, after the dismissal, A+ Records provides a job and the salary is raised.

In this way, there are three of the eighteen votes needed to dismantle the small union of the Warren Brothers synthesizer company, plus the employment of about five skilled workers, one manager and one clerk in the future pedal factory, which is ten votes.

Song Ya called and informed Will of the results of the day, and Will suggested not to announce the matter of the pedal factory, but to hold it in his hands as a final killer feature, if AW Investment Company knew that it could solve the problem so smoothly, I am afraid that it would not be able to suppress the purchase price.

On February 22, Will Gardner arrived in New Jersey to begin negotiations with AW Investments.

Song Ya also called the workers for a second meeting, and the original 35 people became 32, and Mawota, Andrew, and Hunt were not present.

"What's the use of bribing three people!?"

The deputy manager, Wiser, said viciously to Song Ya: "Our thirty-two are still united. ”

"Unity is unity."

Song Ya also said in more fierce words, "I have officially sent a purchase request to AW Investment Company, and after I buy this place, you will work hard under me!" He pointed to the white people present, one by one, "Remember! I'll be your boss from now on! I'll treat you well! Watermelon and fried chicken are enough! ”

The only two remaining black employees burst out laughing.

"X yours, I'm gone!"

Will's 'real estate developer tactics' finally worked, and a white man with a German face suddenly started scolding, and he walked directly in front of Song Ya, face to face, "What about the severance agreement?" Take it out, I don't serve the word "N......" He only lip shaped, not pronounced.

Hayden pulls the severance agreement from his bag.

"Don't fall for the tricks of the capitalists!" Wyser shouted.

The man didn't listen to him when his temper came up, signed his name directly, and then threw the pen on the ground, "Kiss my ass, big singer!" ”

With that, he held his head high and strode out of the office like a hero.

The power of example is endless, and soon two more white men followed his example and signed severance agreements, one spitting on the floor and the other kicking the office door.

Eighteen and then three minus, the rest of the people will not be easy to do, they must be dragged in the local area, and they will never agree to be repatriated.

The follow-up work can only be handed over to Will Gardner, six people are repatriated, and there are seven job opportunities in the pedal factory, Song Ya has completed his own task and got on the flight to Washington alone.

The local councillor is a bit difficult to handle, but fortunately, the other party is also from the Donkey Party, and he is going to find the relationship of Federal Councillor Underwood.
