Chapter 303: Samuel's Advice

Of course, Song Ya didn't invent the chair dance. It comes from the latest earnedit original mv. After the three practiced wildly all night, Tang Ni, who was sober, left while the two were still asleep. In Hollywood, everyone has a tacit understanding , just treat it as an accidental encounter. ?????a`

The MV of beautifulgirls has also been cut. After seeing the final effect and approving it, Song Ya flew to San Francisco. Song Asheng and Lise just came back from Huaguo inspection.

"It's a good chance. There's a big market there." Riise changed his previous objection, and he was very excited. "Think about it, more than a billion people will buy our clothes..."

"Okay, okay, stop..." Song Ya quickly stopped his delusions, "Old Song, what do you think?"

Song Asheng was always cheerful. He heard from Lise that the old man received a grand reception in Huaguo, and the standard was quite high. It seemed that he was regarded as the boss of a+ clothing.

"The workers have no problem. The land and basic water and electricity are almost free, so we will pay for the construction of the factory..." Song Asheng introduced.

"Wait, wait." Song Ya had to interrupt again, "We build the factory directly? Isn't it through Xiangjiang's agent as planned?"

"Boss, if you want to make cheap clothing and don't pay every penny of the cost, that won't work." Riser said, "Building a factory directly can save a lot, and the cost of equipment can't be suppressed."

"Hmm..." Song Ya pondered for a while, "Can it be done?"

"Yes, yes." Song Asheng nodded repeatedly.

"Is there any difficulty?" Song Ya asked.

"First of all, the factory must be a joint venture, and an agreement must be signed, and a large proportion of the clothes produced will be exported." Song Asheng said: "Then there is the exchange rate. Rice knives cannot be bought at the official price of 5.8. In order to prevent legal risks, it is best to barter for goods. .”

"Barter? How to say?"

"Let's help with the urgently needed textile equipment first. The joint venture party over there has already taken a fancy to a complete set of Italian production lines. The second-hand ones cost about 5 million dollars, but they can't get foreign exchange approval. We help get the production lines in, and then use this A set of equipment is converted into the local price to participate in the joint venture.”

Song Ya didn't want to delve into these details, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

In this way, it will be even later to leave the factory, and the ship transporting the equipment will spend a lot of time at sea, and the construction of the factory building will have to start simultaneously there.

Song Ya called Roberto Clivell, negotiated the investment ratio, and signed the contract with the representative lawyer sent by Mariah Carey and others. Song Ya asked Riise to serve as the general manager temporarily, and the future distribution would have to rely on For the salesmen trained by a+ pedal company, the company's affairs are also placed in a+ pedal company for the time being. Huaguo's communication also relies on the people from the previous foundry of a+ pedal company. A+ pedal company holds 25% of the shares and bears The start-up capital of the factory there and the recruitment of sales staff in the United States.

Roberto Clivell and David Cole jointly contributed $500,000, and Mariah Carey contributed $500,000. They each hold 8% of the shares. Song Asheng also saved $250,000. Adding Hayden's $250,000, they each hold 4% of the shares, and Song Ya's copyright and asset management company invested $4.5 million, accounting for 51% of the shares.

Then the a+ clothing they formed deposited five million dollars in the bank of Huaguo, guaranteed the other party to issue a letter of credit, and helped the joint venture factory win the set of second-hand Italian equipment. The local government used a clothing factory and land and infrastructure, water and electricity , preferential policies, etc., a+ Apparel holds 51% of the shares.

The remaining one million cash is used for the daily operation of the a+ clothing designer studio in San Francisco.

Song Asheng took the title of director and stayed in San Francisco to be responsible for establishing a designer studio and communicating with the garment factory in Huaguo.

"That's it, let's do it! Try to hire Chinese designers, younger ones." He confessed to Song Asheng alone,

There are abundant Chinese human resources here in San Francisco.

"Don't worry, boss." Song Asheng replied.

The old man seemed to have rejuvenated after a trip back, and he was extremely positive about this business.

"Hello, Samuel."

Opening a garment factory is not that simple. As soon as the project starts, countless things come in like a flood. Has the equipment left the Italian port? When will it arrive? The designer discusses the shape of the clothes and so on.

Song Ya did not intend to rush forward. He fully communicated with the newly recruited Chinese designers on some simple clothing designs such as t-shirts and sports jackets that appeared in beautifulgirls, and then let the other party divide the work and freely add other colors and patterns. And the style in youngdumb is relatively new, he has temporarily saved it, and the good things of Tianqi can't be used up all at once.

After finishing all this work, it was already mid-July, and Song Ya met Samuel of Yongdao again in a golf course on the outskirts of San Francisco.

"You always look impulsive when investing, but it's not unreasonable to think about it."

Samuel hit the ball, and the two chatted slowly and walked forward.

"Rise helped me calculate. Huaguo's production cost is very low, and they need foreign exchange, and the preferential policies of the special economic zone are also in place." Song Ya said.

"You haven't received your share of the first album, and the money has exhausted your working capital." Samuel reminded.

"I know, I have good collateral, don't I?" Song Ya laughed.

Samuel also laughed, "The first album has created more than 5 million sales in more than two months. It shouldn't be a problem to get diamond certification (10 million sales) in a year, right?"

"Not necessarily. According to this trend, there will only be sales in the early 100,000s in the next week, and it will get lower and lower as time goes by."

Song Ya said: "Of course, the release of Beautiful Girls' single next month should drive a wave of sales recovery."

He didn't come to Samuel for this matter, "That Senator Gore actually agreed to help the governor of Arkansas in the election as the deputy commander. What do you think?"

"Both of them are young and handsome, and women will have a greater advantage in the vote."

"But their roots are all in the South, and there's a bit of an overlap in diehard voters," Samuel said.

"Can you win?" Song Ya asked.

"Who knows? The chances are great, as long as we continue to chase after the economic problem and attack the current general." Samuel shrugged.

"I want to fund Gore's campaign." Song Ya looked around, it was very empty, and the caddy was far away, so he took the opportunity to tell his real purpose.

"Yes, your investment in the technology industry is close to his view."

Samuel said: "People generally think that the deputy commander is just a decoration, so he will have a lot of pressure to raise funds during the campaign. At this time, if you are willing to fund, it will give him a good impression. He is a powerful senator with no power. Where will it go?"

"Well……"

Song Ya considered the wording for a while, "When I was preparing for the clothing company, I learned about the term most-favored-nation treatment for trade. I don't quite agree with the governor's opinion on this point. If he plans to receive the most-favored-nation treatment for China after he is elected, do you think Gore Can it be stopped? If that governor is elected."

"Many of the promises made during the campaign will not be fulfilled. We forced the bank to raise the exchange rate, moved the factory, and helped Silicon Valley through semiconductor negotiations. Their economy slowed down significantly. The benefits of Cheney's major disarmament are beginning to appear, our stocks and real estate bonds have become very good investment and safe-haven targets in the world, and economic growth is predictable."

"High growth is bound to be accompanied by high inflation, so cheap basic necessities are very important to curb inflation," Samuel said.

"So even if he is elected, he won't cancel the most-favored-nation status of Huaguo rashly?" Song Ya asked.

"Shouldn't it? It depends on whether he chooses to fulfill his campaign promises or really engage in the economy." Samuel replied.

"By the way, can I get involved with big companies like the two Cokes and Wal-Mart? As far as I know, they are also very opposed to canceling the most-favored-nation status." Song Ya continued to ask for advice.

"Uh... don't..."

Samuel said: "You can invest in the deputy commander, and you can lobby him, but don't easily get involved in the political and public relations affairs of large capital groups. It is very common for people to die suddenly inexplicably in that level of struggle. We financial Executives have to be careful all the time, let alone a ghetto singer like you. Isn’t it the same in the record industry? You should know.”

"I see."

Song Ya dismissed this idea. Indeed, not to mention the top politicians and big capital groups who can influence many law enforcement agencies, don't people often die in the record industry? For example, Bon Jovi, the photographer who took exposure photos of him in the 1980s, died suddenly and unexpectedly before a big scandal, and then nothing happened. The water in the recording industry is so deep, and the political circles dare not even think about it.

Because of Samuel's words, he hesitated again to ask John Liu for help to solve the matter of Bahn Chemical.
