Chapter 526 Lucky Pig
"The lucky pig on the wind, the singer and the youngest African-American billionaire APLUS commented on the shocking deal he reached with Dow at the beginning of the year..."
Soon, Zoe Barnes published an exclusive interview on the Chicago Tribune, and then appeared as a special guest on the financial column of WGN TV.
This interview and program unexpectedly aroused great repercussions. Soon, CBS and NBC of the three major wireless channels, as well as the cable channel CUU, all asked WGN to buy the video of this interview, and still invited her to be a live guest.
After watching her final remarks at the interview scene, the screen cut back to the studio of NBC's first financial program, "Hahaha, the pig on the wind, APLUS is so interesting, Zoe, do you agree?" the host asked with a smile.
"There is some general truth, but I think it's just his self-effacing words. Although there is no shortage of similar examples in real estate and technology recently, what I want to say is, find the outlet that allows you to fly, and how to survive the wind. Maintaining a stable flight requires a very high level of quality and level."
Zoe Barnes spoke to the camera in a smart professional suit.
This kind of program usually invites guests with different opinions to balance their views and create conflicts and highlights, so another guest, a middle-aged white man who failed to invest and turned into a stock recommendation expert, immediately retorted, "But this is his truth, isn't it? APLUS is a hip-hop singer, I feel like he always has something to say, although I don't listen to his songs very much, but he really said it honestly. That's right, he didn't expect the fluorescent party when he bought the bath company It will be popular, let alone the light sticks will be used in concert support..."
"Let's say oil gushes out of the backyard of a Texas farmer's house. Did he do anything? Nothing, nothing to talk about except luck. A person who never went to college or studied investment and financial management. Encountering a sudden storm, becoming rich and flying high... This phenomenon is not uncommon in history and now, and around us."
"Cough." The host reminded him with a light cough.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't intend to offend the Texas farmers." The guest realized that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly made up for it.
"Zoe, what do you think?" The host transferred the right to speak to Zoe Barnes.
"I also partially agree that the current American economy does have problems in this regard. You know, many collectibles, such as old comic books from ten years ago, baseballs signed by stars in the 1950s, and blankets from Indian chiefs a hundred years ago. All of this has been priced at unbelievable prices, a clear example of an overheated economy, like the classic European tulip crisis in history."
Zoe brought up macroeconomic issues, "That's why Mr. Greenspan suddenly raised the federal funds rate, isn't it?"
"There are a lot of pigs flying in the sky, that's right." The guests just nodded in agreement.
"But the commander-in-chief doesn't like the Fed's decision..." The host followed the topic, and the rest had nothing to do with Song Ya himself.
After 20 days of location shooting, the crew came to Evanston, across the lake from Chicago, where Northwestern University, another famous university in the United States, is located.
The helicopter rented by the crew landed slowly on the periphery of the set, and Catherine, president of Amblin Entertainment, and Terry Beard, the founder of DTS, walked down bent over.
"What is he doing?"
The two walked into the set, and after greeting several producers and the director team, Zack Schneider took them to Song Ya's special RV. From a distance, they saw Song Ya standing on the roof of the car with one arm raised high.
"Look for a signal." Zack Schneider replied, and then put his hands around his mouth and shouted: "APLUS, come down! Catherine is here!"
"Catherine, I'm sorry."
Song Ya climbed down from the RV, threw the phone to Linda helplessly, and shook hands with them, "Can you believe that there is no GSM network just 20 kilometers away from Chicago?"
"It's normal." Tribeard, who has been in the technology industry, is more knowledgeable.
He looked around, "This lakeside pier is sparsely populated, and no telecommunication company is willing to set up unprofitable base stations."
"The capitalism of M-Fxxk." Song Ya was very upset, "I want to send a text message."
"Well……"
Catherine didn't want to continue this boring topic, "I heard old Larry say that you are waiting for the weather to clear up, right?"
"Yes." Song Ya was also quite helpless, "Either it was windy or rainy. After finally waiting for neither wind nor rain, dark clouds enveloped the city skyline of Chicago across the lake again."
When filming exterior scenes, you often have to fight wits with God. The crew has been stuck here for two days for the beautiful dance scene by the lake with Amy. The rented helicopter also burned two days in vain for the panoramic view. day's rent.
"It's normal, can I go in and talk?"
Catherine said that with Tribeard, she must not have just come to visit the class.
"bring it on."
Song Ya and Linda took the two of them into the interior of the caravan that the crew used as a lounge and dressing room for him. It was very spacious, and it was more than enough for four people to sit down and chat.
"Mr. Spielberg is a little surprised that you changed your mind on the DTS listing plan." Catherine cut to the point, "You should say hello to us first."
Terry Beard nodded too.
"It doesn't affect it? I'm just a suggestion. David Geffen and I don't have enough shares to affect your decision, right? I can actually do it, and I will support any decision you make." Song Ya replied.
"But Mr. Terry and Mr. Spielberg don't want to be at odds with all the other shareholders."
Catherine asked: "APLUS, what do you think about it? Your recent pig theory has aroused great repercussions in the financial circles, and many upstarts feel implicated by your words..."
"Uh, I didn't think that much." Song Ya was embarrassed.
"You mean the DTS listing?" Tribeard asked.
"Oh no, I mean the pig on the air vent." Song Ya replied.
"Let's talk about DTS." Catherine said.
"Then I have something to say, it's like this..."
Song Ya relayed what he had heard about Jim Clark's 'Great Arena' speech, "DTS is also living in Silicon Valley, and the investment boss over there, as a bystander, commented that our listing progress was as slow as a snail. It feels quite reasonable, and if we drag it on like this, it may become their laughing stock."
Terry Beard nodded thoughtfully.
"But wait for the next wave of movies using DTS technology to be released, and the number of theaters will increase for another round before asking Wall Street to intervene? It's been a few months." Catherine must represent Spielberg's opinion, "We'll wait You can afford it, and then you can take more initiative in the hands of Wall Street, can't you?"
Terry Beard nodded again.
"I don't have any objection. I can do whatever I say." Song Ya shrugged. "Actually, I have given full power to the management of DTS's investment to the president of A+ Audio, Di Lai. Are you going to talk to him?"
"Delay didn't listen to you yet," Catherine said.
"I can do it..."
There is really no need for Song Ya to argue with the other party about this kind of thing. His movie still needs to rely on Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures, and no one can offend Spielberg. He looked at Catherine's attitude. Spielberg should still stick to the original listing plan. Although the decision on this matter is in the hands of Terry Beard, who owns the most DTS shares, Terry Beard has always been hesitant in doing things.
"Well, your final opinion is no opinion?" Catherine asked.
"Yes." Song Ya nodded.
"APLUS! The dark clouds are gone, hurry up!" Zack Schneider shouted excitedly from outside the RV.
"Sorry, I have to race against the weather."
Linda hurriedly opened the car door for him, and Song Ya apologized and went out, "Are you going to my house to have a party at night? I have a party at Highland Park tonight, and we will talk in detail then."
"What party?"
"Congratulations to Samuel, my accountant and Coopers Midwest managing partner, who is going to New York as VP of Client Services."
"Who are the guests?"
"The whole crew, as well as some of Samuel and I's local political and business friends in Chicago, Delay will also be there, by the way, as well as Dow's top management."
"Okay, we'll go." Catherine and Terry Beard agreed.
Song Ya hurried to the pier. According to the plot, he and the heroine played by Amy had a very good relationship at this time, the only thing missing was the window paper, so this romantic lakeside pier dance has a great impetus , Old Larry paid special attention to it.
No one cares why the heroine just invited the hero out in Chicago, and the next second came to Evanston across the lake, too entangled in authenticity, and most of the movies couldn't be watched.
When i'm with you...
Under the official UMustBe accompaniment recorded by Donnie Braston and the beautiful city skyline of Chicago across the lake, Song Ya and Amy danced together tacitly, with the helicopter hovering overhead and someone flying outside the camera A few lake gulls, everything is to create the atmosphere of the most romantic scene in the whole play.
The literary play of the two of them has been filmed within two days of waiting, and only the most time-consuming one is left. At the end of the dance together, Song Ya completed the lifting action and put down Amy, who was bent backward.
The boy puts his arms around the girl's waist, while the girl's hands are still around the boy's neck. The man and the woman are breathing and smelling each other, and the kiss is not kissed. In the side face, give a close-up.
Amy slowly relaxed her hands, slipped from Song Ya's neck, pressed on her chest and hesitated for a few seconds before retracting reluctantly, using a light stroke of her hair to try to resolve the ambiguity and gaffe caused by the emotion just now.
"Ka, very good, do it again, hurry up." Old Larry was quite satisfied.
Amy took the opportunity to peck him lightly on the lips.
"No kissing scenes!" old Larry warned.
Both of them ignored the old man, and silently went back to their respective make-up artists, stylists and assistants, and they still arranged the styling.
"Did today's filming go well?"
In the evening, at the high-end reception at the Highland Park home, Catherine asked.
"You can tell by their emotions." Song Yachong said with a smile, raising his wine glasses to all the actors and crew who were reveling.
"That's good. The filming has come to an end, and our budget is just right." Catherine knew the situation of the crew very well.
"Yes, a few more days for this scene will definitely exceed the budget." Song Ya nodded in agreement, "Oh, let me recommend it for you." He saw Samuel and Dow's people approaching with a smile, "This This is Catherine, the president of Amblin Entertainment, and this is the vice president of Dow..."
"Your remarks are wonderful and have brought good publicity to our products."
The vice president of Dow was very satisfied with the recent performance of the product spokesperson, "Look, our product is about to be officially launched." He asked his attendant to take out a handful of fluorescent sticks and bent them all by himself, and the fluorescent sticks slowly emitted beautiful lights of various colors. shine.
"Wow, big companies have strong R&D capabilities." Song Ya sighed, and deliberately glanced at the general manager of Bahn Company who followed them, "If it was before, I'm afraid there are only green ones now."
The general manager of Bahn Company lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"I'll send you our marketing plan right away."
"Okay, I'll let my assistant arrange the itinerary."
Song Ya is very cooperative when taking money to do things.
The vice president patted him on the arm boldly, "Am I right? Now our stock price has stabilized at $25, and those two million shares are worth more than cash. You were 10,000 percent unhappy at that time."
"Haha, it's all up to you." Song Ya clinked glasses with him, and the two laughed and drank it down.
"You're here too, Mrs. Underwood..."
The vice president saw Claire who had just entered the door, put the light stick into Song Ya's hand, and said hello.
"Mr. Spielberg wants to talk to you." Catherine handed the phone to Song Ya.
"Okay, I'll find a quiet place."
Song Ya took her and Terry Beard into the study.
"Mr. Spielberg..."
Spielberg, who was busy preparing for Schindler's list, did not express his attitude. He only asked a few simple questions about DTS, and Song Ya still relayed Jim Clark's remarks.
"Okay, goodbye." He returned the phone to Catherine, "Mr. Spielberg said he still has to think about it..."
"APLUS! Come on!" Linda appeared at the door and shouted very anxiously.
"What's wrong?" The three people in the study followed her out, and saw a large circle of people outside, and the vice president, who was still in high spirits just now, was lying flat on the ground...
"It's a heart attack! His medicine is usually put in the inner pocket of his suit!" His entourage rushed over and shouted, and immediately someone knelt beside him and looked for medicine in his pocket.
"What happened?" Song Ya asked.
"Look..." Samuel pointed to the small TV in the corner.
‘A Benzi medical doctor published a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrating the carcinogenic potential of a polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon, which is often used as a catalyst in chemiluminescent products...’
Song Ya looked at the general manager of Bahn Company, who nodded to himself with a pale face...
‘Omniglow, a Massachusetts-based manufacturer of chemiluminescent products, has confirmed that the fluorescer products from Cyanamid, which they have just acquired, do not use these catalysts because the reaction comes from…’
The news continued to broadcast, and Song Ya felt that everyone's eyes were on her face...
"Uh, I'm going to call 911..."
Song Ya fled the scene quickly, rushed back to the study and picked up the phone, thinking quickly while calling an ambulance.
"We don't have any legal responsibilities! Bahn & Co. has completed the transaction, according to the contract, now the trouble is all fucking Dow's!" Goodman rushed in after him, and excitedly said in a suppressed voice next to his ear.
"real?"
The ambulance in the rich area came very quickly, and Song Ya watched the unlucky vice president be taken away, his eyes rolled.
"Uh, APLUS, I think your opinion is still reliable, maybe our DTS should really speed up the listing process." Terry Beard came behind him and said in a low voice.
