Chapter 516 About Opportunity

It's too stupid to make such a choice at this point in time, at least Song Ya's intuition is so.

Either reconcile early, MJ should have started to feel uneasy at the beginning of last year, otherwise he would not change his attitude to accept Oprah's exclusive interview, and put aside the conflict with the Grammy jury's low and noble head just to win a legendary award. Last May His subordinates formally contacted the plaintiff dentist, Evan Chandler, and Motula, who was still in the position of president at the time, also frequently went to Neverland for meetings. At that time, he had countless opportunities to agree to a settlement.

According to reports, Evan Chandler offered 20 million knives, which was quickly countered to 15 million, but the psychological price should be much lower than this. Even Evan Chandler's party didn't start immediately after announcing the imminent civil lawsuit, but gave MJ's party a window of ten days, and it was still not difficult to close the deal at a price of less than 20 million.

At that time, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon hadn't jumped out with a high profile, and Los Angeles District Attorney Jill Garcetti had a more moderate attitude. Since that last opportunity has been missed, it should not be considered. It is in MJ's best interest to reconcile, make a gesture, and prolong the civil lawsuit indefinitely like the Bahn fluorescent agent case.

And now, MJ wants to pay the plaintiff 23 million yuan, which is more than what the other party asked for before. Among them, 5 million belonged to the vulture lawyer group headed by the former president of the Los Angeles Bar Association, Feldman, Evan Chandler and his wife 1.5 million each, and the 'victim' Jody Chandler 15 million . Since Jody's mother is a fan of MJ, she sent her son to Neverland. After the incident broke out, she still insisted on believing in MJ, but she changed her words later. Therefore, she also lost the custody of her underage son. The huge sum paid in installments It will all be managed by Evan Chandler.

Dentists win big.

And MJ is miserable. From 20 million to 23 million, Americans with a little legal concept will think that he was forced to reconcile in a desperate situation, and he is an unreasonable party. Although the settlement signed with the plaintiff The terms of the agreement must be good. Evan Chandler and his son will not disclose the details of the case, but psychologically Americans will also tend to think that MJ has really done bad things.

MJ's side said that the motivation for reconciliation is probably based on three considerations, MJ's physical reasons, and he wants to get out of trouble as soon as possible and go to work, and he doesn't want the media to consume him anymore.

These are very pale. MJ's physical condition does look bad, but the world tour is suspended, many advertising endorsements have also been terminated, and the criminal charges are still there. How to resume work? A huge sum of 23 million is a hot topic in the United States where money worship is prevalent. The tabloid carnival is still going on, and the enthusiasm can't calm down. How can you not be consumed by the media?

"How did this happen? MJ was in a good situation."

Song Ya couldn't understand.

The District Attorney Tom Sneddon, who was tough on MJ's physical examination, got the results of the examination, but his speech was not as strong as before, indicating that Jody Chandler's description of MJ's private parts may indeed be problematic. The recent hearing would certainly consider the evidence insufficient. The protection of Elvis Presley's daughter has helped MJ regain the trust of many people. The child protection bill has been signed by the general, and the case has lost its value in politics...

"Even if MJ did it, the civil settlement cannot get rid of the crime. The criminal investigation in the hands of the two district attorneys is still going on. According to California law, refusing to testify in the criminal trial after accepting the civil settlement money may be judged as Accepting a bribe isn't it? That's a felony, isn't it?" he asked Goodman on the phone.

"It's enough to testify negatively, and there is always an ambiguity. At this time, the civil settlement shows that MJ wants to solve the criminal suspicion quickly. The key witness of the case accepts the civil settlement, and the pressure on the prosecution will suddenly increase. This will force Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The two places in La County must speed up the process and decide whether to submit a formal prosecution."

Goodman analyzed it from a professional point of view, "Tom Sneddon has the support of other voters in the jurisdiction where Neverland Manor belongs to. The poll data is very beautiful.

Even for re-election, he will not let MJ go. The next campaign will be at the end of this year. MJ will definitely not be able to accept Tom Sneddon's brutal criminal investigation methods that lasted for a whole year in 1994, so for him, the biggest enemy and source of danger has changed from Evan Chandler For Tom Sneddon. The appearance of this person was definitely an accident, including his colleague, Gil Garcetti in Los Angeles, who probably didn't expect it, otherwise his attitude would not have changed from being gentle and following to being tough. "

"I see……"

Song Ya's doubts were answered, "Unfortunately, the dentist is cheaper." He said: "Others will flock to them like flies when they see the 'model'."

"Think about the Rodney King case, sometimes it doesn't matter who gets the justice," Goodman said.

"Indeed." Song Ya sighed.

"You have to be careful too."

Goodman ordered, "Oh, by the way, there is something to tell you from Chicago. Peter Flock has just won his appeal. Immediately after he was released from prison, he announced that he would run for the Illinois State Attorney's election at the end of the year."

"Yeah?"

That guy really turned over from the prison, of course, only halfway through now, Song Ya, who had read the news about his prostitution, couldn't help being amazed, "You can come up with a suitable number and give it to him from my WhereIsTheLove personal income special account Donate to the campaign committee."

"Okay, with that money, he can afford to hire Eli again," Goodman joked.

"Eli is very good and will help him a lot." Song Ya is very satisfied with her crisis publicist. The key is that it is not expensive, compared to big companies such as Ogilvy Advertising that signed a contract with A+ Apparel.

"Indeed, uh..." Goodman hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Song Ya asked.

"Did you know that Fergie and Jimmy ended their contract?" Goodman asked.

"Yeah, Fergie is signed to CAA, one of the co-managers is Pai Kingsley, Soup's manager, although she won't be Fergie's main manager, but seriously, Jimmy competes at that level There is absolutely no competition in front of the opponent.”

Song Ya replied: "Even Donovan is far less resourceful than Kingsley in Hollywood."

"Jimmy came back to me again..." Goodman said helplessly.

"Jimmy made a lot of money with Fergie, right? Come to live in your house?" Song Ya said with a smile.

"He is very depressed, you know, my poor brother has a lot of enthusiasm for the broker's work, and he will not hesitate to quarrel with you because of the client, he is a bit unable to face this fact now... He is too naive, Assuming that as long as you give your employer your heart and soul, you must be treated equally," Goodman said.

"Hey..." Song Ya smiled, he knew what Goodman was talking about, "Is Jimmy by your side? Now. Let me talk to him?"

"He's next door, you wait."

After waiting for a while, the microphone was called to Jimmy.

"Hey, Jimmy."

"Hi Mr. APLUS, I...uh, I..." Jimmy's voice was very low, he didn't know what to say.

"Calm down, I'll give you another task."

Although offended by him, Song Ya didn't hate him, and didn't waste his time trying to comfort him, "You haven't lost your lawyer qualifications and knowledge, have you?"

"No...no Mr. APLUS."

"Well, go to A+ Records and find Andrew and Henry, and ask them to take you to Silicon Valley to meet a man, Mark Anderson, and I'll have Linda fax you his personal information."

The two technology geeks under his command inquired about the whereabouts of Mark Anderson. After this guy who has attracted much attention from the industry found a job in a technology company and settled down, he began to keep in touch with his suitors, including himself, but he kept waiting for the price. And sell, very slippery.

Song Ya introduced the situation to Jimmy, "After you get acquainted with the technology and investment industry, go to him immediately and chat with him. Hurry up, I want to participate in the early venture capital of his web browser project , preferably an angel wheel."

"Okay...Okay, I will try my best." Jimmy replied.

"Effort is not enough Jimmy, you have to be smart, as I said, this Mark Anderson is very cunning, and there are many stronger competitors than me, you have to do everything you can, even at the expense of legal and political circles to achieve your goal." Only by dealing with him on the edge of morality can we succeed."

Song Ya said: "You are too honest, don't be so honest with Jimmy, otherwise you will often be the one who suffers."

"I will, I will learn the lesson, and work hard to complete what you told me, Mr. APLUS." Jimmy thanked him sincerely, "Thank you for giving me another chance."

"It's not my business, it's your business too Jimmy, you're doing something for yourself, and if the result doesn't satisfy me, there will be no second chance, no, there's a third chance, it's the first time you offended me by helping Fergie Once, I have a small mind, and I don't like to support idlers."

After Song Ya beat it, he gave another sweet date, "On the contrary, if you help me win this investment opportunity, I will let you follow up and manage some of my other scattered investments, and work hard."

"Don't worry, Mr. APLUS."
