Chapter 506 The Third Chicago Conference

Roberto Clivell was very dissatisfied, but he was only a minority shareholder. The two companies under Song Ya's name, A+ Copyright and A+ Pedals, owned a total of 76% of A+ Apparel's shares, and the remaining Twenty-four belonged to Mariah Carey, Hayden and Song Asheng, as well as Roberto Clivell and David Cole, with each of the three groups owning 8%.

On the same day, Song Ya signed a series of long-term brand promotion and public relations management agreements with Ogilvy & Mather. Except for the 1 million dividends, the net profit of the first year of the basic A+ clothing was all spent on the plan provided by the other party, including paying Commissions for Ogilvy & Mather, public relations fees for entering some fashion awards and shows and industry associations, sponsorship fees for cotton industry research in California and Arizona, and deposits for long-term acquisition agreements with local farmers, etc.

One advantage of making profits out is that you can pay less dividends and pay less taxes, and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the enterprise.

"Actually, Wal-Mart can help us do this too."

After the meeting ended, just as the Ogilvy people left, Roberto Clivell also picked up his bag and said indignantly: "I hope you don't want to take all our profits into your own hands."

"I won't. It's true that Mimi and I's endorsement fees next year will be substantially closer to the market price, but I won't treat you badly in other respects." Song Ya said to him: "We are friends, and I'm not that kind People who like to make small moves."

"I'll keep an eye on it." Roberto Clivell pointed to his eyes and strode away.

The others left one after another, and only Scout stayed.

"APLUS, this is the final product."

He took out a belt with an exaggerated shape, and the belt buckle was replaced with a rectangular seven-segment display, that is, the kind with seven lamp tubes displaying Arabic numerals and letters, which are mostly used on indicator lights and neon light boxes. For example, the real-time data marquee outside the Nasdaq stock exchange is.

He pushed the button on the side, and a string of letters 'APLUS' glowing red flashed across the display.

"The red LED light bulb and the display part are produced by Fairchild Semiconductor, and the control part uses the low-end chip of Texas Instruments. If it is mass-produced, the other parts of the belt can be produced and assembled in China." Scout put the very thick belt Turn the buckle over and show him the battery compartment on the back, "It just consumes a lot of power, and it needs four AAA batteries."

"Okay, you can give it to the crew, and let the little fat man wear it when the movie is filmed. Of course, the letters APLUS should not be used on it."

In the original movie, the younger brother of the male second brother wore a similar belt when he appeared on the stage. It was quite interesting, and adults would definitely disdain to wear it. The main target group should be children like the second male brother who like to show off their personality. Song Ya gave this idea to Scout a long time ago. A+ clothing is only now made in kind. In addition to the high cost, the practicality is also very low. It can only be used as a toy or a personalized wear. I don’t know if it will become popular.

Straightening out the work of A+ clothing, he continued to devote himself to rehearsals.

On the 20th, the District Attorney Tom Sneddon of the jurisdiction where Neverland Manor is located smashed the almost crazy resistance of MJ's legal team, and took people to Neverland Manor to conduct a physical examination on MJ and take photos for his certificate.

On the 22nd, MJ issued a personal statement. He first admitted that he was taking painkillers and had drug dependence, and clarified the fact that he was addicted to narcotics that was fabricated by the media after he had a physical problem in the UK. He then attacked the mass media, especially the tabloids, for spreading rumors and asserted his innocence.

He also said that the physical examination he received was inhuman and humiliating, the most humiliating treatment he had ever received in his life, and pain that no one should have to bear.

"What's the matter? Since the little boy described his private parts to the police, it is inevitable to accept the police's physical examination verification?"

After watching the news, Song Ya complained, "If the little boy is wrong, isn't it his best proof of exoneration? This is a good thing,

How can there be such a big grievance..."

"What if the little boy is right?" Goodman asked.

"Impossible. If you're right, wouldn't the district attorney who seemed to want to arrest MJ immediately hold a press conference?" Song Ya said.

"What if the little boy was taught by others? For example, MJ's sister must know the characteristics of some of MJ's private parts?" Goodman asked again.

"MJ has vitiligo, and his sister must not know the extent of his recent development of vitiligo." Song Ya shook her head.

"Or some of the staff of Neverland, have they seen it when they served MJ? There are a lot of traitors there for money recently..."

"I'm not referring to this matter. I don't quite understand MJ's particularly aggrieved attitude. This kind of inspection is inevitable, and the photos will not be circulated. There is no need to dwell on this matter. Whether it matches what the little boy said or not Matching, the result can no longer be changed, the more entanglement will only make others feel that you are more guilty." Song Ya said.

"MJ has been very popular since he was a child. He has been popular for so many years. He has long regarded himself as the real 'king'. The dignity of the king of pop is beyond your imagination. Remember? Even you, every time you want to see him On the one hand, it's no less difficult than meeting a real king," Goodman said.

"In the end he is just a singer, although he is the most popular one."

On this point, Song Ya is not very sympathetic to MJ, "This is torturing myself with trivial details that I don't need to care about at all. Look at his state in front of the camera, how sluggish he is? His psychology is too delicate and sensitive. No wonder the recent The media will suspect him of taking narcotics."

He tugged on the elastic band of his big pants, "If the prosecutor wants to take pictures of my private parts, then let them take pictures, no big deal."

Goodman shook his head and smiled, "Let's not talk about this, let's go."

They rushed back to Chicago together for Christmas, and then, between the Christmas break and the New Year's break, he hosted a third Chicago meeting.

Holiday singers have the most commercial performance opportunities, and they will pay more favors to bring people to Chicago, and the second meeting was only held in April this year. But there is no way, I will join the group next year, and there will be an awards season where there will be no income but people must be there to collect points. After the film is closed, he will have to go back to school to catch up on the progress of the suspension, and there is no time to spare.

"Let me introduce..."

He threw a big party at his Highland Park home, and when he got the chance he called the people involved into the study.

"Derry on the West Coast, Escube..."

He pointed to the two gangster rap masters, "And Nate Dogg..." Snoop Dogg didn't come, but let his good brother, who is also a high school classmate who signed the Death Row record together, represent himself.

"East Coast, NAS..."

The arrival of the Chicago meeting has greatly improved the status of the east coast cafes in the entire Chicago conference, and people in other regions also feel more respected.

"BABYFACE in Atlanta."

BABYFACE had a lot of complaints about the Chicago meeting at the beginning of the year, mainly because of Su Ge Knight’s non-cooperation. Fortunately, Dre paid for him to appease him, and Donnie Braston is recording UMustB on the a+ record, so he still came today .

"Miami's..."

Huang Yuan was very excited to be able to participate in this level of bigwig party.

"My brothers Al and Dion Wilson, everyone knows each other. Next, let's talk about the joint announcement plan for 94 years."
