Chapter 526: Lucky Pig

"APLUS, the lucky pig, singer and youngest African-American billionaire on the tuyere, commented on the shocking deal he made with Dow earlier this year......

Soon after, Zoe Barnes published an exclusive interview with the Chicago Tribune, and later appeared as a special guest on WGN's financial column.

This interview and program unexpectedly caused a lot of repercussions, and soon, CBS and NBC, the three major wireless stations, as well as the cable station CUU, all asked WGN to buy the video of this interview, and still invited her to be a live guest.

After reading her final epilogue at the interview scene, the picture cut back to the studio of a financial column on NBC, "Hahaha, the pig on the tuyere, APLUS This sentence is so interesting, Zoe, do you agree?" The host asked with a smile.

"There is a certain general truth, but I think it's just his humble words, and while there is no shortage of similar examples in the real estate and tech industries lately, I would say that finding the outlet that allows you to fly, and how to keep your flight steady in the wind, requires a very high quality and level."

Zoe Barnes dressed in a modest professional suit and spoke eloquently to the camera.

This kind of program usually asks guests with different opinions to balance their views and create contradictions and highlights, so another guest, a middle-aged white man who failed to invest and turned an expert in recommending stocks, immediately retorted, "But this is his true words, isn't it?" APLUS IS A HIP-HOP SINGER, AND I FEEL LIKE HE'S ALWAYS SAYING SOMETHING, AND EVEN THOUGH I DON'T LISTEN TO HIS SONGS MUCH, HE'S REALLY HONEST ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS. That's right, when he bought the Barn company, he didn't expect fluorescent parties to be popular, and he didn't expect that glow sticks would be used by the book to support concerts......"

"Let's say a Texas farmer's backyard suddenly gushes out of the backyard, what does he do? Nothing was done, there was nothing to say except luck, a person who had never studied college or studied investment and financial management encountered a sudden outlet, became extremely rich, and flew high...... This phenomenon is not uncommon in history and in the present, all around us. ”

"Ahem." The host reminded him with a light cough.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend Texas farmers." The guest realized that there was something wrong with his words and hurriedly remedied it.

"Zoe, what do you think?" The moderator turned the floor to Zoe Barnes.

"I also partly agree that there is a problem in the current U.S. economy, you know, a lot of collectibles, like old comic books from 10 years ago, baseballs signed by football stars in the 50s, blankets from Indian chiefs a hundred years ago, all of these have been speculated by the market to unbelievable prices, which is a clear example of an overheated economy, like the classic European tulip crisis in history."

Zoe brought up the macroeconomic issue, "That's why Mr. Greenspan suddenly raised the federal funds rate, didn't he?" ”

"There are a lot of pigs flying in the sky, that's right." The guest nodded in agreement.

"But the president didn't like the Fed's decision......" The host followed the topic, and the rest had little to do with Song Ya himself.

After 20 days of location shooting, the crew came to Evanston, across the lake from Chicago, where Northwestern University, another famous university in the United States, is located.

The helicopter rented by the crew slowly landed on the periphery of the set, and Catherine, president of Amperin Entertainment, and Terry Beard, the founder of DTS, bent over.

"What is he doing?"

The two walked into the set, and after greeting several producers and the director team, they were taken by Zack Schneider to Song Ya's special RV, and Song Ya was seen standing on the roof of the car from a distance, with one arm raised.

"Look for a signal." Zack Schneider replied, clasping his hands around his lips and shouting, "APLUS, come down!" Catherine is here! ”

"Katherine, I'm sorry."

Song Ya climbed down from the RV, reluctantly threw her mobile phone to Linda, and shook hands with them, "You can believe that there is no GSM network just twenty kilometers away from Chicago?" ”

"It's normal." Terry Bilder, who works in the tech industry, is more knowledgeable, and he looks around, "This lakeside dock is sparsely populated, and no telecom company wants to set up a base station that doesn't make money." ”

"True M-Fxxk capitalism." Song Ya was very angry, "Lao Tzu wants to send a text message." ”

"Uh......"

Catherine didn't want to continue on this boring topic, "I heard old Larry say you're waiting for the weather to clear, right?" ”

"Yes." Song Ya was also helpless, "Either it was windy, or it was raining, and finally when it was not windy or rainy, dark clouds covered the city skyline of Chicago across the lake." ”

The crew has been trapped here for two days for the beautiful lakeside dance scene between him and Amy, and the helicopter rented for panoramic overhead shooting has also burned two days' rent in vain.

"It's normal, can you go in and talk?"

Catherine said that with Terry Bilder, she certainly wasn't here to visit the class.

"Come on."

Song Ya and Linda took the two of them into the interior of the RV that the crew used as a lounge and dressing room for him, which was very spacious, and it was more than enough for four people to sit and chat.

"Mr. Spielberg was a little surprised that you had changed your mind about DTS's IPO plan." Catherine got straight to the point, "You should have said hi to us first." ”

Terry Bild nodded.

"It doesn't matter, does it? I'm just suggesting, my stake with David Geffen isn't enough to influence your decision, is it? Actually, I can do it, and I will support any decision you make. Song Ya replied.

"But Mr. Terry and Mr. Spielberg don't want to contradict all the other shareholders."

Catherine asked, "APLUS, what do you think?" Your recent pig theory has caused a lot of repercussions in the financial world, and many upstarts feel implicated by your words......"

"Well, I didn't think that much." Song Ya was embarrassed.

"You mean DTS going public?" Terry Beard asked.

"Oh no, I mean the pig on the tuyere." Song Ya replied.

"Let's talk about DTS." Catherine said.

"Then I've got something to say, it's like this......"

Song Ya relayed what he heard Jim Clark's 'gladiatorial arena' remarks, "DTS is also surviving in Silicon Valley, and the investment bosses over there are as bystanders and comment that our listing progress is as slow as a snail, which I feel quite reasonable, and if we drag it out like this, we may become their laughing stock." ”

Terry Bild nodded thoughtfully.

"But wouldn't it be good to wait for the next wave of movies using DTS technology to hit the market and increase the number of theaters for another round before asking Wall Street to intervene? It's not been a few months. Catherine certainly represented Spielberg's opinion, "We can afford to wait until we can take more initiative in the hands of Wall Street, can we?" ”

Terry Bild nodded again.

"I don't have an opinion, it's still the same sentence, I can do it." Song Ya shrugged, "Actually, I handed over the investment of DTS to DeLay, the president of A+ Audio, to manage, you go and talk to him?" ”

"Delay isn't listening to you yet." Catherine said.

"I can do it all......"

Song Ya really doesn't need to fight with the other party for this kind of thing, his movies still need to rely on Amperin Entertainment and Universal Pictures, and no one can offend Spielberg. He looked at Catherine's attitude, Spielberg should still stick to the original listing plan, although the decision on this matter is in the hands of Terry Bilder, who owns the most DTS shares, but Terry Bild has always been more hesitant to do things.

"Well, your final opinion is no opinion?" Catherine asked.

"Yes." Song Ya nodded.

“APLUS! The clouds have dispersed, hurry up! At this time, Zack Snyder shouted excitedly outside the RV.

"I'm sorry, I'm racing against the weather."

Linda hurriedly opened the car door for him, and Song Ya apologized and walked out, "Are you going to my house for a party at night?" I've got a party at Highland Park in the evening, and we'll talk about it later. ”

"What party?"

"Celebrate the promotion of Samuel, my accountant and Midwest Managing Partner at Coopers, who is moving to New York as Vice President of Client Services."

"Who are the guests?"

"The whole crew, as well as some of my and Samuel's local political and business friends in Chicago, DeLay will also go, by the way, and Dow's top brassips."

"Okay, we'll go." Catherine and Terry Bilder agreed.

Song Ya hurried to the dock, according to the plot, at this time he and the heroine played by Amy had a very good relationship, just short of that layer of window paper, so this romantic lakeside pier dance has a great role in promoting, and old Larry attaches great importance to it.

No one cares why the heroine just invited the male protagonist out in Chicago, and the next second she came to Evanston across the lake, so entangled in authenticity, most of the movies can't be watched.

When i'm with you……

Under the accompaniment of Donnie Breston's recorded official version of U Must Be and the beautiful city skyline of Chicago across the lake, Song Ya and Amy dance together, the helicopter hangs overhead in a circle, and someone releases a few lake gulls off-camera, all to create the atmosphere of the most romantic scene in the whole play.

The two of them have already taken the time to shoot all the literary dramas here in the two days of waiting, leaving only the most time-consuming one, at the end of the dance, Song Ya completed the lifting action and put down Amy, who was arching her body.

The boy put his arms around the girl's waist, while the girl's hands were still wrapped around the boy's neck, the sentient man and woman breathed and smelled each other, kissed without kissing, reserved to each other, the photographer pushed the camera closer, framed the gradually falling sunset into the side faces of the two, and gave a big close-up.

Amy's hands slowly relaxed, slipped off Song Ya's neck, pressed on her chest and hesitated for a few seconds before reluctantly withdrawing, using a light hairstroke to try to resolve the ambiguity and gaffe caused by emotion just now.

"Card, good, do it again, hurry up." Old Larry was more satisfied.

Amy took the opportunity to give him a light peck on the lips.

"No kiss scenes!" Old Larry warned.

Both of them ignored the old man and silently returned to their respective makeup artists, stylists and assistants, still sorting out their looks.

"Did today's shoot go well?"

In the evening, at a high-end cocktail party at her home in Highland Park, Catherine asked.

"Just look at their emotions." All the actors and crew members of Song Yachong's carnival raised their wine glasses and smiled.

"That's good, we're in the end of filming, and we're on budget." Catherine knows the crew well.

"Yes, filming this scene for a few more days will definitely be overrun." Song Ya nodded in agreement, "Oh, I'll introduce you for you." He saw Samur and Dow's people talking and laughing and approaching, "This is Catherine, the president of Amperin Entertainment, and this is the ...... vice president of Dow."

"Your remarks are wonderful, and they bring good publicity to our products."

The vice president of Dow is pleased with the recent performance of the product ambassador, "Look, our product is almost officially launched. He asked the attaché to take out a glow stick and bend it all himself, and the glow stick slowly glowed beautifully in various colors.

"Wow, the R&D capabilities of large companies are strong." Song Ya sighed, and deliberately glanced at the general manager of Barn Company who was following them, "If it was before, I'm afraid it's only green now." ”

The general manager of Barn Company looked down and smiled embarrassedly.

"We'll send you our marketing plan right away."

"Okay, I'll ask the assistant to arrange the trip."

took the money to do things, and Song Ya was very cooperative.

The vice president patted him on the arm boldly, "I'm right, right?" Now that our stock price has stabilized at $25, those two million shares are worth a lot of comparable cash, and you were still 10,000 percent unhappy at the time. ”

"Haha, it's all up to you." Song Ya clinked glasses with him, and the two laughed and drank them all.

"You're here too, Lady Underwood......"

The vice president saw Claire, who had just entered the door, stuffed the glow stick into Song Ya's hand, and went to say hello.

"Mr. Spielberg wants to speak to you." Catherine handed the phone to Song Ya.

"Okay, I'll find a quiet place."

Songya takes her and Terry Bild into the study.

"Mr. Spielberg......"

Spielberg, who was busy 'sprinting' Schindler's list, didn't say anything, and only asked a few simple questions about DTS, and Song Ya still relayed Jim Clark's remarks.

"Okay, goodbye." He handed the phone back to Catherine, "Mr. Spielberg said to think about it ......"

“APLUS! Come on! At this time, Linda appeared at the door and shouted very anxiously.

"What's wrong?" The three people in the study followed her out, and saw a large circle of people outside, and the vice president, who had just been in high spirits, was lying flat on the ground......

"It's a heart attack! His medicine is usually in the inner pocket of the suit! His attaché rushed over and shouted, and immediately someone knelt beside him and dug out his pocket for medicine.

"How is this going on?" Song Ya asked.

"Look at ......," Samur gestured to the small TV in the corner.

'A Benzi MD published a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrating the carcinogenic potential of a multinuclear aromatic hydrocarbon, which is often used as a catalyst in chemiluminescent products......

Song Ya looked at the general manager of Barn Company and nodded to himself with a pale face......

'Massachusetts-based chemiluminescent product manufacturer Omniglow confirmed that the fluorescent agent product they just acquired from Cyanamid did not use this type of catalyst because the reaction came from ......'

As the news continued, Song Ya felt that everyone's eyes were on her face......

"Uh, I'm going to call 911......"

Song Ya hurriedly fled the scene, rushed back to the study and picked up the phone, thinking quickly while calling an ambulance.

"We don't have any legal responsibility! The Barn Company has closed the deal, and according to the contract, the trouble is now all Dow's! Goodman rushed in and said excitedly in a suppressed voice in his ear.

"Really?"

The ambulance in the rich area came quickly, and Song Ya watched the unlucky vice president being taken away, and his eyes rolled straight.

"UH, APLUS, I FEEL THAT YOUR OPINION IS STILL RELIABLE, MAYBE WE DTS SHOULD REALLY SPEED UP THE LISTING PROCESS." Terry Bild came up behind him and whispered.
