Chapter 670: Subordinates

Sean accepted a legal aid lawyer from the Chicago Constable and Firefighters' Union, and Vic found another independent practitioner, right? ”

As the FBI had to return to the normal process, Song Ya grasped the progress of the case much faster, and soon learned the news from Goodman, who came over in person, "Or a female lawyer with a history of mental illness?" ”

"Yes."

Goodman nodded, "He doesn't want Peter Frock's people, he doesn't want union people, he doesn't want us, he doesn't even trust any law firm with complex social relations, I feel like that guy has a plan to save himself." ”

"What do you mean......" Song Ya groaned.

"Vic Mackie has a motive for making a plea deal with the FBI, will he ...... Random biting? Goodman asked worriedly.

"If only I could guess what he wanted to do......"

Song Ya said helplessly. Who would have thought that guy would take down the FBI inspector with one shot? "Anyway, I can't do it, leave the troubles to Peter, he's working hard now...... We just do what we can, the campaign funds are paid in full and on time, and other parties also take the initiative to provide some support, and I will ask Big A to privately encourage the black DJ in Chicago to say good things about him, and when the time comes, I will also go to the platform and endorse him. ”

"Well, the person we're waiting for is here."

Goodman got up, "Hello, Riese, hello......"

Song Ya shook hands with three visitors, in addition to Reese, the general manager of A+ Pedal, and two white old men, both of whom were middle-level poached from the wine giant Seagram, one specialized in marketing and the other specialized in winery management.

Riser as the first professional manager to mix with himself, now the situation is a little embarrassing, A+ clothing is developing very fast, but A+ pedal company is still standing still, although A+ pedal company has 25% of the shares of A+ clothing, but the specific operation has always been A+ clothing president Scott is directly responsible for Song Ya, Scott that guy is in the limelight in the clothing industry, Reese can not interfere at all.

It just so happened that Damon Dash relied on his urban pop theory to impress Song Ya, so he was ready to put A+ Liquor under the management of Reese, and at the same time serve as the CEO of two companies, which is considered a reward promotion for his years of dedicated service to him.

The two who arrived one is the president of A+ Wine, the other is the company's general manager and marketing director, Sigram's little Bronfman just bought 80% of Universal last month, including Universal Pictures and MCA records and other assets, these two are one of the most fierce opponents of the boss's cross-border moves, and they have good connections in the brewing industry, since the boss didn't listen to them, they simply resigned early and ran away, and were hired by Song Ya to keep an eye on the movements of the headhunting company with a high salary. And let them dig up some managers and winemakers under the leadership of Reeser as the backbone of the A+ wine industry.

The crowd took their seats on the seaside terrace of Malibu Villa, "a beautiful place. The new president of A+ Spirits complimented as he pulled an empty bottle out of his handbag, "This is what our first Rouge Goose Vodka looks like." ”

"Looks good."

Song Ya weighed it a few times, and his first feeling was that he was very handy...... The bottle is slightly longer and thinner than other vodka popular in the United States, and nothing else is special.

"This is a label that we asked the experts to design."

The marketing director took out a piece of label paper, and behind the stick figure lines of a gray goose was Changbai Mountain and Tianchi, with the words "Gray Goose Vodka" underneath, and a small red five-pointed star below.

"It's beautiful." Song Ya felt good, "So you decided to use the water of Changbai Mountain to make wine, right?" ”

"Yes, we took the experts to Huaguo for a tour, and the water quality is the best there. This is the capital needed to start the project, which is about 17 million yuan, which includes the construction of a complete water intake and water purification plant in Changbai Mountain, the acquisition of a Siberian vodka distillery, wine storage and brewing engineers, a new joint venture with Changyu and winemaking equipment, as well as bottling, packaging, and even wine bottle manufacturing and label printing equipment...... Plus a long-term contract for the purchase of winter wheat from Northeast China. ”

Two managers introduced.

"So it all starts with vodka, right?"

Song Ya nodded, since he made up his mind to enter the liquor market, he has learned in detail, the people of the United States still recognize European and their own brands for spirits such as red wine and whiskey, don't think about beer, Budweiser and other American companies are very strong, only vodka, they can recognize the brands of Maozi or Poland and other places, and vodka can be used as the base wine for bartending in nightclubs, and non-senior drinkers generally don't care about what brand the bartender uses.

"It all starts with making bottles." The other party laughed.

Indeed, wine is an industry with high added value of brands, people have strange tastes, and wine customers have a taste mentality, brand recognition and the appearance of wine bottles are very important, so each wine company spends a lot of money on advertising and marketing activities every year, of course, this refers to consumer goods level wine, those old winery brands that sell style are not listed.

"Yes, we are here to solve this matter today, do you still have any difficulties?" Song Ya asked.

"We want to find a local supplier in China, the bottle of wine labeled or something, but it does not meet our requirements, the original equipment of the Siberian distillery still has the problem of fusel is too high, so the winemaking equipment needs to be imported from various countries to build a new chemical plant, which can almost be regarded as a new small chemical plant, the time may be very long, and the trial production is estimated to be ...... by the end of the year" replied.

"Chemical plant ...... I love chemical plants, hehe......"

Song Ya smiled.

"By the way, we are going to use the sales channel of our old owner Seagram, although we have some connections there, but we still have to pay a lot of money, and the advertising aspect is ......"

"It's good to use theirs for the time being, but you don't have to worry about promotion, I will bring the goods in the second special released at the end of the year, and the pricing will be a little more expensive at that time, after all, it is the wine I brought the goods." Song Ya said with a smile.

"Then we'll be relieved."

At this time, Song Asheng, Scott and others came, as well as some financial personnel and lawyers, because part of the start-up capital came from the balance of A+ Clothing's soft sister coin in China, so the two companies needed to coordinate.

"You guys are busy, I'll make a call, and call me anytime if I have something."

Song Ya didn't have much energy to take care of specific affairs, he stared at it for a while, and felt that their meeting was on a normal track, so he got up and went to do something else.

"Damon Dash, are you in New York?"

He really needed to make a phone call, the winery project really started to start, and after the professional manager was in place, the former follower of Jazzy who came up with the idea was marginalized, Song Ya only let him participate in some preliminary work, and then he was left aside by promising a marketing position in New York City, after all, blacks from the street involved in the construction of the winery would definitely not be able to convince the public, and now he needs to be appeased.

"Yes, APLUS, I've been waiting for your news, we didn't talk at the wedding......"

Damondash's voice came through the microphone, and he was really a little resentful.

"Now it's basically decided, about the end of the year trial production, you first come to follow me to run the first order of the second specialty, the matter of gray goose vodka...... You'll definitely need to work hard in New York then. Song Ya said.

"Okay, then I'll ......"

"Let's meet in Los Angeles first, and learn something from the marketing director of A+ Wine." Song Ya said.

"HEY, APLUS, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE INVITED THOSE TWO OLD WHITE MEN, THEY'RE TOO OLD AND THEIR THINKING IS OUTDATED." Damon Dash took the opportunity to say.

"But we don't understand, the distillery is actually a small chemical factory, do you know how to manage it? Well? "Song Ya is now learning and selling.

Hanging up the phone, Linda quietly came to her side and reported: "Reese and Scott had a quarrel just now, and they quarreled fiercely. ”

"Don't worry about me if you don't make a fuss, I know they have a bad relationship now."

Reeser helped A+ Apparel in its early days and supported a lot of people from A+ Pedal Company, but Scott felt that he was too fond of pointing fingers when he became president, so he began to compete and squeeze out the former pedal executives within A+ Apparel. The relationship between his two managers has deteriorated dramatically, and now it has basically reached the point where they do not communicate with each other at all during meetings, and even occasionally argue and carry each other.

"You know what? Relations between Hayden and Yeremov also turned sour. Linda reminded him.

"Hmm."

Hayden always wanted to give William Morris a package for the A+ film studio project, and Yeremov didn't want to swallow it all, the two of them had a bit of a penchant for giving each other eye medicine on their own, and bought it from film critic Elvis Mitchell after the wedding. How do I stop all this' project starts, a small project with a production cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, Song Ya let him manage it alone in addition to letting Yeremov use black actors for most of his roles, Yeremov turned his head and accepted the packaging service of CAA's lower price, and the conflict with Hayden broke out completely.

Oh yes, and it seems that Samuel of Coopers and O'Grady of the Northern Trust also quarreled over the direction of their own funds.

However, A+ Audio's president DeLay has a very good relationship with everyone, except for Big A.

Song Ya feels that it is not a big deal if his subordinates have conflicts, and their real harmony may not be a good sign for him, as long as he does not affect his business by infighting.

Even......

He glanced at Goodman and Song Asheng outside, and thought of Alicia Flock, it is also a good thing that there is competition between several law firms that he serves, at least he doesn't have to worry about being deceived by them together.

He felt that he was already a bit like the rudiments of MJ's lawyers fighting each other in several factions, MJ was so successful, there must be merit in this set of methods, of course, MJ's side seems to be a little too fighting......

"Where is the merger of MJ and Sony's copyright pools?" He asked Linda.

"It's still negotiating, it seems to be very difficult, but this is the most eye-catching big business of the record this year." Linda replied, "Do you want to call Daniel?" ”

"Forget it, Daniel must be anxious now, in order to get busy with his antitrust case."

Song Ya shook her head, "Since Mimi and I didn't participate in that transaction, it's always inconvenient to keep asking." ”
