Chapter 883: 100 million in January
"Goodman, ask Kim Wexler from your law firm to work at A+CN as soon as possible."
Song Ya was very wary of Gordon's movements, but it was not good for him to use his personal relationship to ask Oprah to accuse him, because A+CN's difficult window period was caused by his punitive action of 'closing the cage', and Gordon didn't reach out to ask for money anymore, and it can't be said that he made a mistake anyway.
He has Oprah's fraud from the Inner City Broadcasting Company, and everything is still under control, he just doesn't like Oprah and is firmly wary of one of the most well-known talk show hosts in the country.
But Oprah and him never crossed paths, let alone had any conflicts.
But because of this incident, he became more aware that he still had far less control over the black elite under him, whether it was Linda, Gordon, or Pierre Sutton, who had extensive social connections and many years of career before serving him, and that their ideas and ways of doing things were often contrary to what they wanted them to do, and even occasionally tried to use their financial resources and influence to achieve their personal goals and ambitions.
For example, Linda's attitude towards MJ, Pierre Sutton's relationship with him while working with him at the inner city broadcaster, let alone Gordon.
In fact, this kind of position to be sent to A+CN to check and balance Gordon is best a black man, and shooting a young and beautiful white woman like Kim Wexler will cause them a lot of resistance, but there is really no one at hand.
He hung up the phone and returned the phone to Taragi in the passenger seat, but unfortunately, this girl was very promising, but she was not interested in management affairs and was bent on returning to Hollywood to act, she had a good supporting role in the Blade project, and this year Xue Linfen served as a producer for the first time in a low-budget black film, and she also got the second female lead, so she refused to give up.
"Mr. Dinkins." Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang again, and Taragi handed it back.
"Boy."
The former mayor of New York, who was alarmed about the expansion of Clear Media, again warned him on the phone that he was trying to buy shares and related board seats from other shareholders of the inner-city broadcaster, "Aren't you going to do something?" ”
"What can I do? I have no intention, and I don't have the ability to compete for those shares. ”
The old man was pleased with the fact that he never interfered with his program and that he could continue to export ideas for the Manhattan Gang, and he didn't like the presence of a white, ambitious media conglomerate, which would create a lot of instability.
"I warn you that some of the shares will probably trade at a lower price than the inner city broadcaster at the time of your capital injection, and the outside world will think that you have made a failed investment in us."
"You can join the competition and at least raise the price a little bit," Dingkins advised. ”
"I know, I'll say that to shareholders who are interested in selling their shares, but I won't really buy ......"
The old man was fooling himself into paying again, "Let me tell you the secret, Mr. Dingkins, I'm very tight on cash flow right now. ”
"Really? That...... All right. ”
He cried and was speechless, "By the way, you graduated from the University of Chicago this year, right?" Every year, our Omega Psi Phi fraternity graduates attend a large party event. ”
"No problem, just leave it to me." There is still a small amount of money for a party.
"It's a good network, although you shouldn't care much about it......" the old man chattered and hung up the phone.
Song Ya put down her mobile phone and couldn't help but ponder, in the United States, the relationship with the Brotherhood is absolutely ironclad, maybe the idea of employing people should be cultivated from scratch by choosing a suitable object from the graduates? At least it's more reassuring than the Gordon guys......
It's just a lot of time.
He can't help but be a little envious of MJ's extreme asset-light allocation, the copyright library is in cooperation with large companies, he holds the copyright or equity, the record production is handed over to the epic records of Sony Columbia Records, and the track management affairs are all done by large companies, he should be the shopkeeper to participate in the name of MJJ records or ATV copyright library to participate in and share the benefits easily, just firmly control the few lawyers who are responsible for managing the assets.
His business, in addition to the core music production team and touring team, as well as charitable organizations, is probably the same.
Unlike itself, even if the Barnes Company is sold, the textile, wine, media, Internet and other enterprises all employ a relatively large number of employees, and in terms of legal affairs alone, there are currently Goodman and Hamlin Law Firms, Flock and Argus Law Firms, and Lockhard and Gardner Law Firms cross-service, which is doubly difficult to control, not to mention local law firms such as A+ Apparel in San Francisco, Xiangjiang and other places.
For example, Alicia Flock is a woman who clearly divides 'personal relationships' and public interests, and there is an extra Goodman in A+CN, where she is in charge of legal affairs? Acceptable.
But just after finishing upstairs, she learned that she had resold Netscape shares to her former boss, lover and current business rival Will Gardner? She was a little angry.
Either way, there won't be a big problem for the time being, and in mid-February, Songya and O'Grady join up with Will Gardner to lead a team to visit Tycoon Picow in California.
Picaul is a low-key self-made billionaire who, according to O'Grady, is a man of more personal wealth than he is, not from an old pocket, but even more so, spending almost all of his time at country clubs and golf courses.
"Speaking of the Country Club, hasn't your uncle talked to Barn Sr. about my case?" At a high-end golf course in California, Song Ya asked O'Grady.
"Well, we don't have a good relationship, and it's hard to persuade him to help."
Oglady replied in embarrassment, "Let's be honest, we haven't been in touch for years, and that old guy seems to only plan to leave me a measly fifty thousand dollars after death......"
Song Ya rolled her eyes, and this indifferent kinship was left to worry about the inheritance, "Then do you have any other ways on Old Barn's side?" ”
"I got the trajectory of Barnes Sr.'s life through my uncle, and his daily schedule is very fixed, so maybe it would be better to find an opportunity to create a 'chance encounter' and talk to him openly and honestly in person?" O'Grady said.
"That's all there is to it."
was chatting, Song Ya suddenly saw a familiar face, who was angrily getting off the golf cart, not even caring about the blonde who accompanied him, striding meteor.
The poor girl was carrying two huge golf bags and trotting after her flattering face, not even noticing that she had passed by the big star.
"Mr. Chase?" It was the 'usher' in charge of the Madoff Investment Fund's connection to Hollywood, the Jewish billionaire Stanley Chase, Song Ya was a little curious and called him out.
“APLUS?”
Stanley Chase paused, changed to a smile in surprise, and came back to shake hands, "Why are you here?" ”
"I've come to see Mr. Picaul." Song Ya replied with a smile.
“Fxxk!” Stanley Chase cursed, "That old guy is a bastard, you be careful." ”
"What's wrong? You ...... him," Song Ya asked.
"Go over there."
Stanley Chase tilted his head and motioned for him to go there for a private chat, "He is a close friend of Mr. Madoff, one of the highest-ranking outside investors in the Madoff Fund, and I have enough qualifications, but he still does not agree to upgrade my internal rank. ”
"Uh, that's it......" Song Ya knew that their kind of secret society gameplay was indeed divided into many levels, and the higher the level, the higher the corresponding annualized rate of return, but he didn't expect Stanley Chase to be subject to Picaul.
"Yes, have you heard?"
Stanley Chases was indignant, "In January of this year alone, Picaul earned $100 million from Mr. Madoff's fund, that's 100 million!" As long as the big bull market continues, he can make so much money every month, and the principal he puts in the Madoff fund is definitely less than 500 million, what a fuck! ”
"Oh?" Song Ya couldn't hear this kind of news, and his eyes lit up in an instant after a little mental calculation, "WTF!?" Is there such a profit!? ”
"There's one at his level, Fxxk! It's a pity, my level of yield is far inferior to his......"
Stanley Chase may have been angry, and he stood and chatted with Song Ya, who he didn't know well, and complained: "I don't want to reach the sky in one step, even if I move up a level, it's far away from him, but he just doesn't agree." You say that I have no conflict of interest with him...... The old-fashioned old man doesn't help others if he earns so much by himself...... I'm going to New York to meet Mr. Madoff in person, it's so unfair, I've done so much for the Foundation...... It's been a big bull market this year...... But investing in stocks, how can Mr. Madoff's fund return be ......"
"Yes, yes, that's right...... I understand. ”
Song Ya had no choice but to echo him until he left after venting his emotions.
"Mr. Picaul."
Subsequently, Song Ya and the others met the tycoon, who looked like an ordinary white old man, so low-key that others would not realize how rich he was when he walked on the road, "I just saw Stanley Chase go out ......"
"Oh, he's angry, isn't he?" Pikaul slowly tidied up his golf clubs.
"Yes."
"Hehe, he has a problem with me, and I don't support some of his claims. Regardless of him, APLUS, we said before, the share deal of Netscape should be underway......" Picault obviously didn't want to continue the conversation, looked at the watch with the perpetual calendar, and got back to business.
"Yes, but Netscape will be suspended in two days to announce new major news." Song Ya smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Do you think Netscape stock will go up after the market opens? So you want to postpone the trading time, right? Picaul saw through it at a glance, "I remember that our trading price should be based on the closing price of the day?" ”
"Uh......"
"Yes, I don't care." Picaur shrugged generously, "You've made a good investment, but I'm betting that Netscape stock will still go up for a long time this year, so I don't care about this kind of short-term small volatility." ”
"Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Picaul."
"Go sit over there, what have you been up to lately?"
"Go to school."
"Haha, very nice young man."
"Well, Mr. Chai just mentioned Mr. Madoff's fund......"
"That's why I don't support him anymore, I've been hanging out with Hollywood people for a long time...... "Picaul made a zipper gesture on his mouth, signaling that Stanley Chase was not strict.
"I mean, what if I join? Can be ...... Uh, where can you be at your level? Song Ya asked tentatively, it's not called a temptation, he has always been very straightforward and shameless when it comes to making money, and the yield is too high!" I knew Mr. Madoff for a long time and he introduced me to Mr. Chase, but I didn't have time to ...... at the time."
Picaul chuckled, "So you know how to play?" ”
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll call Mr. Madoff to make sure, and I'll get back to you after the Netscape share deal is completed?"
"No problem!"
