"I thought it would be a competitor like GAP."

Could it be that Scott, the general manager of A+ Clothing, is also like the general manager of Barn Company, quietly communicating with large companies? Song Ya immediately carefully took Roberto Clevell's words.

"Haha, do you think we're already opponents of GAP?"

Roberto Clevard laughed and said, "We sold a lot of clothes, but we didn't make much, and the autumn and winter did not maintain the good momentum of the summer......"

The patterned T-shirts brought by Song Ya and Maria Kelly are of good quality and low price, and they are very popular with the people at the bottom of the country, and the price range is not very cold for the autumn and winter clothes of popular clothing brands such as GAP.

A+ clothing does not have its own stores, the distribution model at all levels is complex, the loyalty of distributors is very low, everything is easy to say when T-shirts are good to sell, and after the backlog of autumn and winter clothes with higher unit prices, the following dealers began to show their magic in order to clear the inventory. Can you eat it? Excessive discounts and price confusion naturally take a toll on a brand's reputation.

And next year, similar T-shirt products of brands such as GAP will also be listed, and some celebrities or cartoon characters will also be invited to do co-branding, and there will be no problems in the publicity and design of large companies, and the differentiated advantages of A+ clothing will also be quickly erased.

"Why would Walmart want to buy our company?" "The private label T-shirts in their supermarket are cheaper than ours, even though the Ceylon and Bangladeshi goods are a little less quality. ”

Roberto Clevard replied: "I don't know, I met an old friend who works at Walmart the other day, and he said that Walmart is thinking about buying our company, like a casual joke, but I don't feel like ......"

Old Walmart friends, joking casually? There are flaws everywhere in this statement......

"I'm not going to sell." He didn't care what Robert Clywell was thinking, and said, "I have specific plans for this company, new plans. ”

A+ clothing is not like Barn Company, Song Asheng has been involved in the specific operation of San Francisco, and he often travels back and forth to China, and he will definitely report to himself as soon as he has any trouble. The competition in the clothing industry is fierce, but the entry threshold is low, dressing and matching is a very private choice, the public will chase the fashion, there are also personalized demands, and the big brands are not as sinister as the monopoly enterprises in the chemical industry. Besides, the annual shipments of A+ clothing are not enough for a fraction of those big brands.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. "Roberto Clevell.

"Hey! Do you really want to talk about business at a party? ”

Mariah Carey immediately protested, "Honey, shall we go and visit the Clift Suite upstairs?" She shook Song Ya's arm coquettishly.

"Visit...... All right. ”

Song Ya owed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

"Go, go, go." Walt and the three of them laughed knowingly.

It feels good to be bright and bright, of course, it was more exciting when it was secretly before, and this party was all paid for by Song Ya herself, inviting the entourage of Mariah Carey's concert, the people from the Daniel and Newman factions within Sony Columbia Records, the people who danced my life crew, and his friends with Mariah Carey.

In the awards season early next year, neither of them had any ideas, they had no new works in the whole 93 years, and Mariah Carey's music box album was only released at the end of the year, so it couldn't catch up.

"You also need to pay more attention to the maintenance of your throat, and you will be in Philadelphia on the second of next month, right?"

When she reappeared in the banquet hall, Mariah Carey almost hung her whole body weight on Song Ya's arm, and her year-end tour was about once a week, compared to Madonna or MJ's tour, the task was not heavy, after all, there was no need to dance, but due to the too many difficult ways to sing in her songs, the vocal cords were still inevitably tired.

"Yes, then the last game on the 10th will go back to New York, at Madison Yard ......"

She rubbed her throat and replied, "No problem, I'll be lazy in Philadelphia and do my best to win the hometown one." ”

"What's going on with Daniel and Newman next year?" Song Ya asked her.

"In the first half of the year, they will go abroad to publicize it, and they said that the global sales momentum is very good." She wasn't in a good mood.

"Keep an eye on your body, I'll say hello to Daniel and tell them not to wear you out."

"Hmm."

While the two were chatting, Linda leaned behind them and whispered, "LL Cool J has arrived." ”

"Okay."

They met LL Cool J at the entrance of the ballroom, and he and Def Jam were mutually successful, and in the 80s, Def Jam made him the number one hip-hop artist on the East Coast, and he made Def Jam one of the most influential hip-hop labels of the time.

In the 90s, the two sides fell silent at the same time in the tide of gang rap and Chicago rap.

"YO, LL Cool J......" Song Ya took the initiative to greet and stretched out his fist.

This guy who is nearly 1.9 meters tall has a relatively kind face, and his personality is also, unlike other hip-hop singers who like to play cool, he has always appeared in front of the public with a more cordial image, so the mainstream media has a good impression of him, even if he has gradually become obsolete, he is still a frequent visitor to major music awards, Russell Simmons and Quincy Jones's alliance will find ways to give him various resources every year, and of course, Will Smith and others.

Russell Simmons is not only his boss, but the two are also teachers and friends, and they have a good personal relationship.

"APLUS, MISS KELLY."

But it would be a big mistake to really treat him as a harmless white rabbit on the spot," I said, "Introducing you, DJ Irv." He lazily introduced one of his companions, the guy that NAS had specifically warned him to pay attention to, Irv Gotti, a record producer with a gang background and a stage name under the stage name of the mafia godfather Gotti.

"Hello, brother." Song Ya bumped fists with the two, "Let's talk about it?" ”

LL Cool J lifted his chin and agreed.

The relationship between the two sides is very stiff, and not long ago, LL Cool J was still helping Russell Simmons resist himself and Daniel, and he also let go of a lot of cruel words.

Mariah Carey had the sight to say hello to a friend and leave the little circle with an awkward atmosphere.

"Do you have a new drama to shoot as well?" Song Ya and Linda looked at each other, and the relationship between the two parties was brought closer according to the designed dialogue.

"No, let's talk to Marvel about cooperation."

LL Cool J replied that this guy was very sober and knew that he was out of breath, and began to work hard to find a way out of hosting, variety show guests, and film and television actors, and the effect was very good, especially in terms of radio hosting.

"I know, superhero Blade Warrior, huh?"

Song Ya smiled and raised his glass: "I heard that you beat Wesley Streep for that role?" ”

"Yay......"

He was really happy, "That guy was next door at the time, and he wanted to pry my horn secretly, but I knew about it, so I ...... Bang bang bang...... "He simulated the sound of beating the other party and triumphantly gestured with his hand.

Seriously, with his harmless face, Marvel shouldn't give him a cool vampire superhero role, Wesley Streep is much more suitable, but Song Ya won't say this to his face, and finally found a common topic, so he echoed: "That guy is a guy looking for a fight." ”

"I heard you hit him too?" Irv Gotti asked cheerfully.

"yes, at the Spielbergs' costume party, I punched him up." Song Ya also boasted of his 'glorious deeds'.

"Hahaha, well done." LL Cool J and Irv Gotti laughed and praised.

Smart people know how to choose, anyway, Song Ya has become the largest individual shareholder of Def Jam The matter is irretrievable, since he is willing to come to the party, it means that he does not want to continue the cold war, the two sides have a common disgusting enemy, so the more they talk, the more speculative they become.

"Marvel wants to make a movie about Blade and Black Panther, you know, there aren't many black superheroes, resources are scarce."

LL Cool J said, "Why don't you just snatch Wesley's Black Panther?" We co-invest in these two films, let him fuck off! ”

"But I heard that Marvel always uses this trick to fool our investment?" Song Ya asked.

Marvel is a giant in the comic publishing industry, and it has been very popular in recent years, and his family and DC, Dark Horse and other old comic book companies' old comics, superhero cards and other peripheral products have been sold to a crazy price by the market. But after Song Ya has done it, he also knows that the situation is very complicated, Marvel's parent company has been acquired by the tycoon Perelman, the tycoon who is good at capital speculation ranked 14th on the list of the world's richest people last year, and the net worth of Bimurdoch , Lei Shidong and others is rich, according to the calculation of Fujibee magazine, there are 6 billion dollars.

Perelman also owns Hummer Motors, Durex, Revlon and other leading companies in various fields, and he is also a party to the previous popular case of New York's Upper East Side refusing to allow top rich people to move in.

However, Perelman's attitude towards the industry is not good, for him, his industrial company is just the golden hen mother of his financing, all long-term profits and stocks are used to make various pledges and loans, used to support his substantial expansion in the banking industry, he received a total of 5.1 billion dollars in federal guarantees when the Elephant Party was in power, as a special aid to take over a number of bankrupt banks in Texas, and then began a series of mergers and acquisitions in the banking industry.

And Marvel, Revlon and other companies are all transfusing blood for Perelman's business empire, Revlon is obviously doing well, but the financial statements are still losing money year after year, and the profits are all squeezed out by Perelman's various radical financial methods.

Marvel is in a slightly better situation, and in 91 it was successfully listed alone, and then began the road of mergers and acquisitions, buying companies such as Fleer, which makes comic book star cards and star cards, ToyBiz, which makes toy peripherals, and so on. But that's just Perelman's old trick, using the golden rooster to go public to raise funds, and then constantly issuing bonds and mergers and acquisitions, first, to avoid taxes, and second, to use huge debt interest and other ways to divert profits from the physical company to his complex banking network, and finally turn it into part of his net worth of the world's fourteenth richest man.

The means are completely legal, but they are unreasonable, and in the past two years, many financial people have criticized this practice of killing chickens and eggs, so Song Ya can know so clearly.

"There are not many superheroes that black people can play, and there are holes to occupy as soon as possible."

And LL Cool J thinks from a different angle, he is obviously fascinated by the beautiful vision outlined by Marvel, he is not the kind of singer who spends a lot of money, after all, he has been popular, and there is still no shortage of money, "I know Marvel wants to borrow our money to make things happen, but this is still an opportunity, isn't it?" Wesley Streep's character is not good, and it is no problem to pick the screenplay. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news? As soon as you have my phone. ”

"Can ......"

He tacitly did not mention Russell Simmons from beginning to end, and Song Ya basically figured out his attitude, and took the opportunity to mention the Source Hip Hop Awards in April next year, "If I go, can you help take care of it?" ”

"No problem, New York is our turf." He readily agreed.

"Where's Ferge? She should go too. ”

"Well, she's not liked by the black girls in this business...... The London Bridge you wrote for her was so good that the girls were jealous. ”

"But she's a hip-hop singer after all, so won't she play at the first dedicated hip-hop music awards?"

"It's not that I don't bring her, you know, most of the guests at that time will be old black, and I can't guarantee that the girls won't say anything nasty to her."

"But you and your people aren't going to do anything to her, are you?" Song Ya asked, "I'll figure out a way for the other groups." ”

"Of course."

LL Cool J and Irv Gotti looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
