Chapter 128 Predators
"To deal with those scum, we must use a stronger and more effective way..."
In the middle of a long row of rostrums, Peter Flock is delivering his election manifesto, all of which revolve around security issues. The state attorney's words are a little fierce, but they echo his vow to reverse the security situation in the next term. election platform.
Alicia and Peter's mother were sitting on the right, looking at him with pride and a little admiration, smiling, and precise expression management.
The 20,000 dollars allowed Song Ya to sit in a good seat in the first row, not far from the camera, at the same table with a group of celebrities. This time, they were really talking about money, and they didn't have to worry about being stabbed in the media like Spike Lee.
"I heard Edward, one of the two bosses of AW Investment Company, mention you."
After Peter's speech ended and the dinner began, everyone began to communicate in low voices, and a chairman of a chemical company named Barn beside him took the initiative to chat, "Do you know? This kid took money out of Edward's mouth! AW's Edward." The rude white old man pointed at Song Ya and said with a big smile to the other people at the same table.
The others smiled politely at the two, wondering if they really knew Edward who was far away on Wall Street in New York.
"How did you do it, kid?" Without getting any further response from others, Bahn moved his chair closer and focused on talking to Song Ya, "The business in New Jersey."
"I took over a company from Edward, and then continued to split it..." Song Ya didn't know what the other party's real purpose was, so she introduced it vaguely, "I didn't make money from him. Factories are still losing money."
He wasn't talking nonsense, A+ Pedal Company hadn't filled the hole of factory relocation and layoffs, and he didn't even mention the copyright library.
"It's that simple? You moved the factory from New Jersey to Silicon Valley, and then outsourced the production to Huaguo?" Bain asked.
Song Ya nodded, "That's about it."
"Is it outsourcing..." Bahn fell into deep thought. Since he has a relationship with a Wall Street vulture like AW Investment Company, his business performance should not be very good.
"Can we have a chat alone, Mr. APLUS." At this time, a small white man held Song Ya's shoulder, leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"Okay." Song Ya recognized the other party as Peter's campaign manager, who seemed to be called Eli, "Sorry." He smiled at Bahn and the people present, then got up and followed Eli to a secluded place.
"Are you Jewish?" Song Ya saw Eli's appearance and guessed that he was a Jew. Lawyer Will Gardner was not like a lawyer like a Wall Streeter, but prosecutor Peter looked like a TV star. The campaign The manager has a bit of an artist temperament, silk suit, floral bow tie, dressed very delicately, with a little exaggeration just right.
"Yes." Eli smiled and touched the hooked nose, "Is the feature obvious?"
The two chatted and laughed, and Eli quickly got to the point. Finding Song Ya was nothing more than singing. Peter’s campaign activities must hold some rallies. He didn’t mention the money, so it should be Baigan’s work.
"I have no problem in principle, if the schedule does not conflict."
Song Ya gave him Hayden's business card, "You can contact my agent to discuss the schedule."
"Thank you, and on behalf of Peter, thank you for your support."
Delay was very happy, "Mr. APLUS, do you need public relations services?" He started business for himself again, "I own a public relations company." He handed over his business card, "In terms of crisis public relations, I am a professional .”
"crisis……"
Song Ya accepted the business card, and she didn't feel any danger for the time being, and she still didn't know the real strength of the other party, "Yes, if there is a need, I will call you."
Early the next morning, Song Ya took another RV to start the promotional activities for the next week. This time he will travel throughout eastern Illinois and the entire Michigan state including Detroit.
"Da da, da da da da, da da..."
During the parking break, Song Ya played the accompaniment melody of the song 'Trumpet' on a trumpet, and Fergie lay beside her, resting her chin in her hands, watching quietly with admiration.
"APLUS!" Hayden knocked on the door, breaking the atmosphere of the two-person world.
"This week's magazine, and some fan letters..."
Hayden threw a lot of books and letters in front of Song Ya, "There are more and more letters, and the letters are usually loyal fans. If you can reply one by one, it will be very good for your popularity."
"Reply all the letters?" Song Ya was a little embarrassed seeing the pile of envelopes of various styles, "I don't have time."
"It's time to hire a clerk or assistant." Hayden suggested, "The content of the reply letter can be very formatted. You just need to sign your name when the time comes, and the fans will understand."
"What about now?" Song Ya pushed the letter towards Fergie, "You write it for me first."
"No, I hate writing the most." Fergie ran out in a hurry. There was a small party at the big caravan, and she went to join in the fun.
"You are my agent." Song Ya had no choice but to push the letter back to Hayden, "Help me deal with it for now."
Hayden sighed, and had no choice but to put the letter back in his bag, "This week, Remember The Name's ranking on the Billboard Singles Chart has risen by one, and the Hip-Hop chart remains No. 1."
"Oh?" Song Ya found the Billboard magazine. Unexpectedly, Gloria, who was still number one last week, fell behind. three.
"According to Sony Columbia's plan, you were supposed to be on the West Coast this week. The publicity effect in big cities is much better than in small cities, especially hip-hop music. Black people generally live in cities." Hayden said.
"In the slums of the city." Song Ya added.
The blacks at the bottom cannot afford the housing and commuting costs in the suburbs, and large tracts of land in the countryside are in the hands of long-established white farmers, and the blacks themselves are unwilling to do farm work. Although machinery is used on a large scale in American agriculture, according to them , I have been working as slaves for white people for hundreds of years, so I don’t want to go back to the countryside.
"You have to hurry up and compress the time appropriately. Empire State of Mind will premiere in May. Although Mariah Carey can't cooperate with the promotional schedule, we can't relax here. She doesn't have to participate in the promotion, because she has her own new album in May. release, and the chorus version won't be on her album."
Hayden reminded, "According to reliable sources, MJ's album Dangerous will be released in November, and the promotion of the single will start in October. The pre-heating will be earlier. All singers have to consider the time when this kind of predators swim into the market." It’s not going to end well if it crashes with MJ’s publicity.”
"MJ?"
Song Ya is really looking forward to what the new album of the world's most popular singer MJ will look like.
Hayden nodded, "Yes, besides him, Prince's new album will also be released in October. The same, the pre-publicity will only be earlier. Of course, he is a bit of a flop now, but it is still not to be underestimated. I discussed it with Donovan, and it is unanimously recommended that you end the single promotion before August or September."
"These two are really interesting." Song Ya knows the history of fierce competition between MJ and the prince in the early 1980s. Although the prince is obviously overwhelmed in various achievements, it seems that he has not lost the direct competition with MJ. courage.
"Then what about my new order?" Song Ya picked up the trumpet and blew a few notes, "I'm about to make it now."
"Then hurry up and use the promotion gap between Remember The Name and Empire State of Mind to finish this song. It will be released in June and promoted in July. It can't be later than this schedule."
