Chapter 1147 Disposal
‘APLUS issues orders without warning! With a seven-minute song Can't Hold US, he explained his mental journey after waking up from a coma for five months. He vowed that he would be unstoppable from now on! It’s a pity that it’s only broadcasted on radio at the moment, fans may have to continue to wait...’
'Miracle! The box office fell only 6% in the third weekend! Titanic got off to a good start in the Beimi market in 1998. In just three days from the 2nd to the 4th, it once again raked in 33 million box office. The box office of a single theater is still more than 10,000 dollars. The fearless off-season of major theaters continues to increase the number of screens! The scale of the global screening has been expanded again! '
'APLUS's new girlfriend, the Latin diva Shakira has a big start. The two knew each other very early. They played the heroine in APLUS's first single "Beautiful girls" in 1992. '
A car was speeding on the way from the airport to Tribeca. A+ pedals and A+ Liquor President Riese put their palms together between their legs, silently listening to the news on the car radio, with serious expressions on their faces.
"Don't worry too much, Mr. President."
One of Seagram's veteran duo in the back seat clapped the briefcase in his hand and said with a smile, "APLUS will be in a good mood after seeing last year's profit data."
Another person said: "These days, there are not many managers in traditional industries who can help their bosses make money like us."
Riise glanced at the two old men who were cheering him up from the rearview mirror, "Do you know why he didn't see us for several months after waking up, but suddenly took the initiative to summon us to New York yesterday?"
"have no idea."
"Because he went to Metropolitan Records yesterday." Reese said, "That kid Damon Dash must have sued again, I can guess."
"That N who has been clamoring for New York distribution rights..."
One of the old men shut up in time, "It's just the whims of street gangsters, APLUS will be affected by him? Haha, not necessarily, they are not a species at all."
"OMG! Don't say that when you see him later..." Riise rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry, I've lived such an old age that I know what to say and what not to say..."
The old man replied: "Actually, I really like APLUS. He has an old-fashioned temperament, which reminds me of the old Mr. Bronfman."
"Ha ha!"
The other old man laughed,
"Just a few days after he woke up, he dragged his sick body to Tokyo and groveled to fix Sega, and then backhandedly put more profits in Nasdaq to raise the stock price to harvest the short position of 3DFX, and then merged with competitors to make Sega lose its choice, and firmly won the future Big order! It’s so classic that it can be included in MBA textbooks, and it’s hard enough for myself.”
"Be tougher on traitors, think of Goodman who is crazy, and Delay and Hamlin who are behind bars."
Riser shuddered involuntarily when he said this. The three people in the car could have partnered with Goodman and Hamlin while APLUS was in a coma, and signed the long-term distribution rights to Seagram and took Seagram. A very large commission was awarded.
"Old-school businessmen will be tolerant of subordinates who can help make money."
One of the old men hugged the briefcase in his arms, "We have already returned the money, what else do we want? The accounts are also done, I think he purposely left us enough time when he didn't see us, it will be fine, Rise."
"Oh, I hope."
If APLUS pursues the three of them, they will surely face a lawsuit. Fortunately, Goodman, the key person leading the case, is crazy...
The car drove into the underground garage, the three of them shut their mouths, and walked into the elevator full of thoughts.
"Scout?"
After being let into the gate by APLUS bodyguards, Riise immediately saw the president of A+ Clothing, Scott, and his executives. There were quite a few of them, and they were all sitting on the sofa group in the lobby in suits and leather shoes.
"APLUS is waiting for you, Riise."
Scout's expression was a little bad, and the two groups got up and shook hands and said, "He insisted on seeing you first."
"Sorry, the flight was delayed."
Riise glanced at the time, he was probably half an hour late, and his nervousness increased.
"Mr. Reese." The lawyer from PGE Law Firm called out from above the stairs, "Mr. APLUS is waiting for you."
"OK."
Riise and the two old men under his command exchanged a glance, and went upstairs bravely.
"APLUS, you look like you're recovering wonderfully!"
Riser was brought into the study by the lawyer. APLUS was sitting behind the desk with his forehead resting like a tired king. Not far away, a blond girl in a silk nightgown was painting her toenails cross-legged on the sofa. Yongdao was standing in front of the desk. The accountant and the lawyer of PGE Law Firm closed the study door behind.
The already dark room looked even more gloomy.
Riise felt a nameless cold wind blowing in the back of his head.
"Sit wherever you want, Riese, and there are two more."
Song Ya casually gestured, he didn't mean to give Riise a bad start, he recorded a song yesterday and joined the party organized by Jazzy, no matter how he shirked it, he stayed at Metropolitan Records until the early morning and socialized with all kinds of local insiders in New York , and before leaving, Damon Dash found the opportunity to chatter about the New York distribution rights of A+ Liquor for a long time.
It feels more tiring than high-intensity rehab, and now my ears are still buzzing with the powerful music at the party, and all kinds of compliments from people, self-promotion, opportunities, money, fame, and so on. Those who claimed to have good investment opportunities all saw the approachable billionaire in front of them and wanted to pounce on them and eat themselves.
Most of the communication is meaningless to me now, especially the greed and aggressiveness in the eyes of some street characters...
This kind of "nostalgic experience" can be avoided in the future.
"This is the quarterly and annual report of A+ Pedal Company and A+ Wine Industry in 1997. We made a lot of money."
Riise hurriedly asked one of the old men to take out various reports from his briefcase, and Yongdao's people helped him open the chair opposite the desk, and he thanked him and sat down.
"It's more profitable than 3DFX for the whole year." Another old man added in a fawning manner, but was warned by Riser's stare.
"Um."
He refused to meet for several months, but he didn't delay himself to have someone carefully investigate the operation of the two companies and the existence of the commission. What Goodman suffered from was just paranoia, and he didn't delay selling his teammates.
In fact, Song Ya knew it well, and the only thing in front of him was how to deal with Lise and others.
He took a sip of his espresso and casually flipped through the papers presented by Reese.
"The account is done well." Yongdao's accountant pinched the corner of the report with his index finger and middle finger and looked at it twice, sneering with sarcasm.
Riise could only return an embarrassed smile.
They all returned the illegal income in various names, and then moved some fixed assets depreciation to this year, so last year's profit was very good. The company's 3DFX annual net profit is still high.
Song Ya looked pale, and raised her eyes to glance at the two old men behind Lise.
In fact, seriously, except for the commission, he doesn't dislike this kind of old-school manager who remains loyal to his old club. The business was left to his uncle, and these two old ministers who didn't like Bronfman Jr. took the opportunity to encourage Riise to completely tie A+ Liquor to Seagram's chariot through a long-term distribution contract. It is understandable that this nostalgic feeling The old guys are actually less and less in the mall.
Seagram's sales channels are top-notch. Generally speaking, except for the loss of freedom in the future, everything else is fine. The distribution is handed over, and it is enough to concentrate on brewing wine in Huaguo in the future.
Moreover, many of his own record and film businesses now rely on the power of the Universal Department owned by the Bronfman family, so it is not easy to make the relationship too rigid.
The same is to deliver benefits to the old club and make money in personal pockets. A+ Liquor has signed a distribution contract with Seagram before, and he has a close relationship with Bronfman Jr.'s Universal Pictures and Universal Records. Riser and the others are like Go down the existing route.
A+ clothing is different. I have expressed my concerns about cooperation with Sears Department Store before, but Scout still took advantage of his coma to turn around and get involved with his old club, and then Sears fell behind. Sales patterns dragged down profits.
So today he insisted on seeing Reese first, and then Scout. Scout's 'sin' was bigger.
So to Reese...
"This year, the Gray Goose red and white wine product line from Huaguo and Changyu's joint venture factory can also be launched in Beimi market as scheduled."
Sensing his gaze, Riise hastily announced another good news of 'help yourself'.
"Um."
Song Ya was lost in thought, and tapped the four fingers of her left hand casually on the table, occasionally looking at Lise.
Riser felt sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to breathe.
"Or take the cheap route?" Song Ya asked.
"Yes, take the amount, Seagram will help us... and the major supermarket chains." Reese hurriedly answered in detail.
"It doesn't sound like a big deal, but Damon Dash told me that I can find a way to go to the high end..."
"That kid doesn't understand at all..." One of the old ministers still looked down on Damon Dash who was born on the street.
"So you kicked him out?" Song Ya interrupted him.
The three of Riise were speechless. At that time, they just took advantage of the unconscious boss to drive away an annoying fly. Who knew...
They couldn't answer either. The contract with Seagram had been signed. At this point, Damon Dash's already illusory distribution rights in the New York area could not be implemented at all, and the two parties did not have strict contract restrictions in black and white.
Song Ya did only promise verbally at the time, and he was silent for more than ten minutes, "Okay, I'll be here today." He waved his hand casually, indicating that the three of them can leave.
"Then we..." Riise stood up hesitantly.
"You can go back to California and let Scout come in."
"Okay, thank you APLUS..."
Relieved, Riise took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and escaped with the two old men.
"Remember how I warned you before, Scout. I said that the operating cost of our counter at Sears is several times that of other supermarkets, and their department store model is not suitable for this era. Did I order Have you shut down those huge loss-making counters that cooperated with Sears, and spent the saved money on the South American branch?"
It was already a good look for Riise and the others, but Song Ya had a much worse attitude towards Scout, the president of A+ Apparel, and he asked, "So what happened last year?"
"I……"
Scout also quietly returned the benefits, but the profits were not as good-looking as Riise, and he lacked confidence.
"Mr. APLUS, Sears is a local Illinois business, and they got close to Governor Peter Flock last year."
Scout's staff responded: "We're under pressure, too."
"So you were worried about my relationship with politicians at that time?" Song Ya was even more upset, "A+ Apparel is a California company, if you want to fool me, please find a better reason!"
"This incident is my fault."
Scout stopped his subordinates from retorting, "You go out first. APLUS...I..."
He drove his subordinates away, then covered his eyes with one hand and brewed for a while, and soon burst into tears, "I...you know I have a deep affection for Sears...I was wrong, I...how do you deal with me? No complaints or regrets..."
Shakira met Shakira outside when Scout and his party first arrived. She was still full of style when she looked at her, but now she suddenly humbled herself in front of her boyfriend, crying like a child. The middle-aged man was a little frightened by the scene and gave up. Painted his nails, came over and sat in Song Ya's arms, and kissed him on the cheek like a docile kitten.
"I gave you this job. You used to be the middle-level Scout of the Sears Community Store. I gave you an equity incentive at the beginning of last year..."
Song Ya hugged the girl casually and continued.
"I know, I'm sorry for your trust..."
Scout put his hands on the edge of the desk and cried: "I apologize to you, you can do whatever you want with me, I will pay back all the money I received from Goodman and the others..."
"Uh, don't talk about it." Song Ya glanced at Yongdao's people and raised her hand to stop him.
"Just one thing I beg of you, APLUS, I don't want to go to jail...not to jail...my kids are going to college soon, I can't go broke and let them know dad is a financial criminal...they adore me."
Scout whimpered and whimpered, "You gave me everything I have now... social status, in San Francisco..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk too far!"
Song Ya couldn't bear it, "I'll give you half a year." He raised his hand to the PGE lawyer, "Call that Tang Yi outside."
PGE lawyers quickly brought in a young Chinese man, "This is Tang Yi." Song Ya introduced to Scout, who quickly wiped away tears and looked puzzled, "Harvard Business School MBA, from today onwards he will be Assistant to the president of A+ Apparel, in the next six months, he will supervise you to turn the company back to the track that I approve, if I find out again..."
"No, absolutely not."
Scout hurriedly assured, "Hi, is that Mr. Tang? I thought you were just now chatting outside..."
"I just got this position too, Mr. President."
Tang Yi looks talented, with excellent education and eloquence. He is an overseas student in Huaguo and has a background in McKinsey. He was recommended by Dr. Chen and headhunters from A+ Venture Capital.
"That's it? I'm very busy, Tang Yi, you know what your job is, right?"
"Yes, Mr. APLUS."
"Well, after you and Scout went to San Francisco..."
Song Ya was explaining the details when the phone in the study rang, "Hello, oh, O'Grady." It was his stockbroker, "Is there anything wrong?"
"APLUS, Netscape just announced its financial report, and it suffered a huge loss in the fourth quarter."
O'Grady said with a feeling of fear: "The number exceeds the expectations of all media and institutions, and the stock price should plummet tomorrow."
