Chapter 554: A Trip to Detroit

"APLUS, LOOK HERE."

"ALIPUS, LOOK AT THIS THANKS."

"HERE, APLUS."

A week later, Song Yabi showed up at the opening ceremony of the new Dow glow stick products factory in Michigan with a thumbs up, "Laugh one, APLUS." The reporters greeted him in short sentences, and the shutter kept ringing, and he immediately grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Mr. Vice President, can you get closer?"

"Okay, let's do it together." The vice president of Dow in the center cordially opened his arms and hugged Song Ya and the other employees who gave him a thumbs up.

"Your engagement ceremony? Haha, I'll bring my family along. ”

At the end of the propaganda task, the vice president casually took the hard hat handed by his subordinates, put it on with Song Ya, and walked to the factory behind him, "Let's take you to visit here first." ”

Dow finally eliminated the hidden danger, or reached a compromise with the opponent, Song Ya didn't know how they did it, what the specific conditions were, but in the end, Dow failed to complete the goal of monopolizing the civilian market, only excluded some similar products that use old compounds, in the light stick market, they will still face competition from the book and other large local enterprises in the United States.

Maybe this result makes them a little lacking in confidence, after all, the end of the competition between the United States enterprises and the book in the same dimension has never been very good, at the beginning of the fourth phase of the project that claimed an investment of nearly 100 million yuan quietly not mentioned, this factory is renovated with an old factory of its family, not far from downtown Detroit, just on the west bank of the Detroit River on the side of Interstate 75.

However, the vice president was still in good spirits, and he was very satisfied with Song Ya's endorsement work, so he was very affectionate at this meeting.

"This is the ...... of the production workshop," he personally introduced to Song Ya, and the reporters just now were stopped outside the factory gate, and only two employees of the factory's propaganda department carried cameras to follow.

There are new and old equipment in the workshop, the workers have begun to work, the group of people at the door of the workshop looked at the door for a while and then retreated, someone handed the light stick products that began to be mass-produced to Song Ya's hand, he bent and played for a while, holding a colorful luminous body to the camera to praise, exclaim, do enough play.

"This is the ...... the laboratory"

After completing the propaganda task, the group continued to wander around the factory, stopping near a construction site, "There will be a new production line, using newer technology and better equipment, which can reduce the cost by half." Will it be completed next year? ”

Standing on a small slope of earthwork, the vice president asked the former general manager of Barn, who is also the general manager of Dow's fluorescence division.

"It should work." The other party gave a positive reply.

"What do you think? APLUS? The vice president asked Song Ya again.

"Very good job......" Song Ya complimented, knowing in his heart that the other party's target for saying these words was not actually himself, but the camera.

"You go ahead and visit, I have something to deal with." The vice president completed the task, found an excuse and left, and the camera continued to follow him, leaving the former general manager of Barn Company to accompany Song Ya.

"Shall we continue? There is a mold workshop in front. ”

Without the camera and the boss, everyone let go a lot, and the former general manager of Barn asked Song Ya with a smile.

"What the hell is going on here? I think most of the factories are dilapidated. ”

Song Ya let go much in front of this former subordinate and asked casually.

"It's okay, the annual production is not as expected, but ...... It's just okay. ”

But since he was already a former subordinate, the other party didn't reveal much, and smiled bitterly while leading the way to deal with it.

There are a lot of forging presses in the mold workshop, and it is very noisy, "Let's go out and talk." Song Ya saw that the workers were using headphones like headphones, which were supposed to protect their hearing, and they didn't have anything, so they didn't want to visit anymore and turned around and quit.

“Yo……”

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly someone from behind him called him, "APLUS! ”

"Hey! Stay away from him! The bodyguards immediately stopped the young worker who had suddenly put down what he was doing and tried to get closer.

"Everyone calls me Manix, maybe you can listen to my rap ......"

This guy who looks like a purebred white man is shouting outside the human wall, but with a black accent, his voice is very distinctive, and his penetration is still good in a noisy factory, a bit like the brittle voice of Big E, and his appearance is ...... It's okay, there's a kind of street boy ruffian temperament.

This kind of nameless rapper Song Ya, who seized the opportunity to try to perform in front of him, has seen too much, and he doesn't care, let alone waste time listening, it is too difficult for white people to mix in the rap circle, and he has offended many people in order to praise Fergie, and if he holds a white male rapper, he will definitely be scolded by the whole industry.

"Uh, is the machine okay like this?"

Besides, he didn't think about it so much, his attention was completely attracted by the forging press behind the other party, in order to behave in front of him, this kid didn't even seem to turn off the machine, the old forging press made a very harsh sound, he didn't pay attention to the other party, turned his head and asked the former general manager of Barn Company next to him.

"Take care of your people!"

The former general manager of Barn Company was a little gloomy, and yelled at the head of the workshop who accompanied him to visit, "Let's go, let's go, get out of here." Hurriedly escorted Song Ya out of the workshop.

I don't know how the head of the workshop will punish that guy, Song Yacai didn't bother to care, "Don't visit, this thing is a little hot to wear." It's June, and the temperature in Detroit isn't low, so he takes off his hard hat and is hugged out of the factory.

It seems that the prospect of Dow's glow stick dream is a little bad, and the reflection is that the stock price has fallen back to the range of about 20 from the high point at the beginning of the year, and the two million shares in his hand are still early from the lifting of the ban, and Song Ya has no choice, he just wants to do his part of the obligation with peace of mind and get enough of the annual endorsement fee.

Among the more than 80 million stock investments, Apple and Dow, which occupy the main share, are all half-dead, and the game company EA has fallen very badly, but fortunately, Microsoft, Cisco, Nokia, and innovation have soared, and they are still making money in 94 years overall.

"Hello, Mr. Harrell......"

Taking advantage of his visit to Detroit, he also went to the old headquarters of Motown Records, a company that has just been acquired by PolyGram, and behind it stands the multinational giant Philips, who spent 50 million to buy half of the shares of Def Jam and couldn't satisfy their appetite, and spent 330 million to buy Motown Records, which owns the current most popular boy group Boyz II man.

But now Motown Records' main location is Los Angeles, and only a few recording studios are in operation in Detroit, and of course there is the monumental old headquarters, where the new president, Harrell, is also there, so I made an appointment to stop and talk.

Harrell is the former president of Uptown Records, if it weren't for his repeated refusal to brag about Daddy's return to Uptown Records, maybe Daddy Bragging wouldn't have taken the risk to move little Lowry, and many things in the future would not have happened, and he had some indirect entanglements with himself.

"APLUS, welcome."

Now that Uptown Records is over, Mary Bligie and Jodeci have switched to the parent company MCA, and the braggart dad has pulled other little singers to form Bad Boy Records, and this guy has also turned around gorgeously in time, jumped to Polygram, and got the position of Motown Records as a family member.

"How's it going? I see you've been building momentum for the movie. ”

Another black record industry executive who behaves more towards whites, he has always hated the black braggart daddy, and would rather delay the release of his singers, although he finally compromised, but still caused Uptown Records to fall apart.

"Yes, it's mainly this ......"

The two have no friendship, because of the Harlem nightclub incident, Harrell's impression of himself is estimated to be average, and after a few polite words to each other, Song Ya put forward his main purpose and invited each other to attend the engagement ceremony, and it is best to bring some of its singers over, such as the former DIVA Diana Rose.

"I'm not going, I'm going back to New York to do other business, I heard that Boyz II man will go, right?"

Harrell, like Russell Simmons, has used his influence in the music industry to invest heavily in the fashion industry, and he politely declined the invitation, "but I can ask you about the other singers in Motown." ”

"Okay, but thanks."

There is no way, Mariah Carey must make the engagement ceremony particularly grand, he can only try to invite the bigwigs of the music industry to attend.

"You know why hip-hop has been bad lately, right?"

Harrell asked suddenly.

"Braggart Daddy and Sugnet?"

After Sugnett helped Mary Bligie get rid of the braggart daddy, the cooperation between the two sides fell apart, and immediately after the hip-hop music awards in April, they began to diss each other. According to this trend, it is not far from the big-name singer himself.

"Yes, that guy who braggs about dad always relies on his gang background to make trouble."

Harrell began to scold the braggart daddy, and the hatred was deep,

This guy is used to being high, Song Ya feels that he doesn't know about the braggart dad himself, for example, it is unlikely that he hopes that the braggart dad and Sugnette will fight to the death directly, the braggart dad is very cunning, and basically will not put himself in danger, except for the time when he was beaten up on the street by the stunned young Lori who just came out of Chicago with a silencer, he really can't get off the stage.

And now little Lori is much worse than him.

"Your Midwest won't get involved, will it?" Harrell asked, scolding.

"Me? Hehe, this kind of on the east and west coasts has nothing to do with me at all. Song Ya said with a smile.

"Very good, we have promoted some relationships recently, and the Grand Commander may openly express his dissatisfaction with the social chaos led by those gangs and rap garbage, you are the light of the black, don't mix it in." Harrell said.
