Donovan quickly sent the news back, but MJ still refused to meet, saying that MJ was with Brooke Rose.

"Brooke Pickles? She's not with that Princeton classmate......"

Song Ya remembers seeing Brooke Kiss and young actor Liam Neeson holding hands at Spielberg's house last year.

"Hehe, anyone would choose MJ, wouldn't they? They have been good friends since childhood, and they have been in and out of the pair in 84 years......"

Donovan laughed: "And even Son Neeson has moved Spielberg and will star in his next film: Schindler's List, I heard that Brooke Smalls helped a lot." ”

"Fxxk, when is he free?"

Song Ya is even more unhappy, do you need to be so attentive to accompany your girlfriend? But MJ can't help but see it, it's about his big plans.

"He's going to perform live at the AMA Awards at the end of January, and when you have a chance to meet, can't you ask him out through Sony Columbia Records?" Donovan asked, "You're all in the same company, too." ”

"Then what do I want you William Morris for?" Song Ya asked rhetorically.

"Okay, okay, I'll figure it out." Donovan had to take care of it.

Song Yacai didn't want to ask Motula for help in order to meet MJ, and he tried not to look for Motula for anything he could now.

He also had to finish some chores before he enrolled.

This time he didn't go to Sony Columbia Records to participate in the settlement, two million A+ albums and two million Beautiful Girls brought him more than 20 million dollars, as well as the sales share of other singles and the 92-year royalties of all the songs he wrote were about three million, minus the financial and legal costs, his two companies got a total of 20 million dollars.

"Northern Trust does not agree to the collateral replacement? Why? ”

Song Ya returned to Chicago and learned from O'Grady that the Northern Trust did not approve the continued mortgage of the next four million album revenues and wanted to recover the fifteen million loans, "Our cooperation is good, your seven million in Barn Chemical has become ten million in a few months." ”

"Yes, we had a great time working together on that."

O'Grady doesn't deny it, "But the buying of your records has come down, and I heard that the average price of your second settlement has dropped a lot, and it will only be lower when you settle for the third time, and it will take a few years for the album to sell 10 million copies in the future......"

"It's been two years at most, and the industry has commented that my photo is a god specialty, and probably the cumulative sales forecast is at least 13 million, or even more." Song Ya said.

"I know, but I can't help it, I didn't convince the old-fashioned old men at the top this time. You know, the outside world has questions about your subsequent star journey, there are many singers who are at the peak of their debut, and you are about to enter college life, the University of Chicago will not give you much time to make music, if you really want to have a good grade. ”

O'Grady smiled: "Of course, we can continue to lend you a sum of money, for a long time, at a very favorable interest rate." ”

Song Yacai doesn't need a long-term loan, his funds are very sufficient, plus the 40 million, he now has 60 million cash in hand, and he can stop the gods in the B round of DTS and Palm's A round of investment negotiations that will start soon. I don't have to worry about the quality of my second specialty.

"Forget it, I'll pay you back all of them, and I can redeem 20% of the shares of Barn Company." He makes a decision.

O'Grady was a little moved, but after hearing Song Ya's offer, he directly refused, the machinery and equipment of Barn's company had long been depreciated by the old Barn for tax avoidance, and the value of the plant and the land was very low because Edward had not yet started to develop the nearby plots, "Aren't you trying to find a way to expand sales for fluorescent agents recently?" We decided to wait and see for a while......" he laughs.

These shrewd guys, "Forget it this time, next time I will charge Barn Company advertising fees for the promotion of fluorescent agents, and you will have to bear 20% of the company's marketing costs." ”

Song Ya was very unhappy to repay the short-term loan of 15 million, and the liquidity was left with 45 million, which was more than enough to do anything.

He didn't go back to Chicago mainly for this matter, but to see Old Joe.

Whether it is out of feelings or interests, he can't ignore Lao Qiao all the time, and it will be a blow to his personality if it drags on, so the photos of himself in and out of prison will be taken by familiar paparazzi and appear in the news. And Lao Qiao recently reached an agreement with the IRS (National Revenue Service of the United States) to pay a large amount of money, and then serve two years in prison in exchange for settling with the IRS. Since Kenneth and the gunman Binney Jr. had not been arrested, the FBI was unable to string together the chain of evidence for the Harlem nightclub incident, and they were so angry that the local police in San Diego indicted Lowry Jr. and several of his henchmen, Biggar Pablo, on charges of trafficking, and because AK was the whistleblower, they had a high chance of being convicted.

But the FBI has nothing to do with Lao Qiao, the two-year sentence, plus the sentence for some minor crimes that have been implemented before, Lao Qiao will probably be able to come out of prison for more than a year, which also means that the danger is farther away from him.

"Hey, old Joe, you look good!"

He saw Lao Qiao in a small single room in a prison, the prison guards and the lawyers on both sides were there, Lao Qiao was a little thinner, but his mental state could be said to be very good, and the flesh on his body was much stronger than before.

"Haha, you kid."

Old Joe bumped fists with him across the table, laughing happily, "There's nothing else to do in there, everyone can only work out desperately to vent their energy." Goodman, how are you doing? He greeted Goodman again.

"Barron." Song Ya also shook hands with his lawyer, Barron.

I can't talk about any sensitive topics here, so the two chatted about outside things, some personal recent situations and gossip from friends.

"So you bought a house in Highland Park? Wow, you're the best mix right now......"

Old Joe smiled and shook his head, "You know, I really didn't expect you to get to where you are today. ”

Barron laughs, too: "He's now the most successful black man in Chicago." ”

"This kid is very powerful, he is different from us." Old Joe shook his head and sighed.

"The TANK group has recently fallen out openly in the media, and the four of them blame each other, you know?" Song Ya asked him.

"Whatever they do, I did what I could, and I don't owe them anything." Old Joe didn't care, "It's just Carl and Eric, they've been with me for years, and I haven't been able to take care of them. When Carl is released from prison, can you take him in? And Eric. ”

Carl was convicted of possession of an illegal firearm and was released from prison after about six months.

"Uh......" Songya looked at Goodman.

"Doesn't Carl have any other hidden dangers? De jure. Goodman asked Barron.

"No, I promise." Barron replied.

"Okay, I'll take them in."

Old Joe opened this mouth, and Song Ya was embarrassed to refuse, originally he had been dragging Eric who was hanging outside, and never let go of his mouth to let him enter the A+ record, "But when you come out, Lao Joe's music will be unavailable." ”

"I have nothing to regret, I have a platinum record certification, and I have been on the road for half my life." Old Joe said: "Barron suggested that I sell back the copyright of the second-hand store to you, as well as the first album of the TANK group. If you don't mind, the copyright of Lowry's first order can also belong to you. ”

"After Lao Qiao goes out, he will bankrupt and reorganize Lao Qiao Records to eliminate those unsuitable shareholders."

Barron added that the implicit implication in his words may be to restructure the part of the stake that belongs to Kenneth.

"Okay, but we'll talk when you come out, you're in prison and I'll buy old Joe's records, and people outside will say I'm taking advantage of the fire."

Song Ya is willing to buy back the copyright of the second-hand store, after all, it is his first song by the apocalypse, and the commemoration is of great significance. Of course, Lao Qiao Music definitely does not have all the copyrights of this song, according to industry practice, half of the copyright should be in the hands of the copyright library of Baidai, where the distribution company SBK is located, and the management of the track also belongs to the copyright company of Baidai.

"Yes." Barron happily agreed.

"You see, I can't even pay his lawyer's fees." Old Joe joked very freely, "I'm telling the truth, right?" Barron. ”

Barron was teased a little embarrassed, bowed his head and smiled, "For this case, it's the best outcome now. ”

Indeed, Lao Qiao actually didn't have anything to dislike, and the two talked about the visitation time, "That's fine, it can be regarded as a complete goodbye to the past time." His last words meant something.

Song Ya understands that he should no longer want to be entangled with the gang after he is released from prison, which is also what he is happy to see, both of them need to say goodbye to the past time completely, the gang background is beneficial to the two of them in many cases, but when something happens, such as the current situation, they will definitely get into trouble.

"I'll come to see you often, old Joe."

Song Ya hugged him and left the prison.
