Chapter 670

"Sean accepted the assistance lawyer of the Chicago Police and Firemen's Union, and Vic found another independent practice instead?"

As the fbi had to return to the normal process, Song Ya grasped the progress of the case much faster, and soon learned the news from Goodman who came over in person, "Is she still a female lawyer with a history of mental illness?"

"Yes."

Goodman nodded, "He doesn't want people from Peter Flock, he doesn't want people from the union, and he doesn't even want us. He doesn't even trust any law firm with complicated social relations. I feel that guy has already figured out a self-help plan."

"You mean..." Song Ya pondered.

"Vic McGee has a motive to make a plea deal with the FBI. Will he... bite people?" Goodman asked worriedly.

"I wish I could guess what he wants to do..."

Song Ya said helplessly. Who would have thought that guy would kill the FBI detective with one shot? "Anyway, I can't get involved, so leave the troubles to Peter. He is working hard now... We just need to do what we can. The campaign funds are paid in full and on time, and other parties will also actively provide some support. I will let Big A privately Encouraging the black DJs in Chicago to say good things about him, and then they will go to stand for him and endorse him."

"Okay, here comes the person we're waiting for."

Goodman stood up, "Hello, Riese, hello..."

Song Ya shook hands with the three visitors. In addition to the general manager of A+ Pedal Company, Riser, there were also two old white men, both of whom were middle-level recruits from the wine giant Seagram. One was specialized in marketing and the other was specialized in winery management.

As the first professional manager who mixed with him, Riise is now in a bit of an embarrassing situation. a+ Apparel is developing extremely fast, but a+ Pedal Company is still standing still. Although a+ Pedal Company owns 25% of the shares of a+ Apparel, The specific management has always been that Scout, the president of a+ clothing, is directly responsible for Song Ya. Scout is in the limelight in the clothing industry, and Riise can't intervene at all.

It just so happened that Damon Dash persuaded Song Ya with his urban popular theory, so he planned to put a+ liquor business under the management of Riser, and concurrently served as the CEO of the two companies, which counted as his years of dedicated service for their rewarding promotions.

The two people who came here are the president of a+ wine industry, and the other is the general manager and marketing director of the company. Seagram's Bronfman Jr. just bought 80% of Universal last month, including Universal Pictures and MCA Records and other assets, these two are one of the veterans who most strongly opposed the boss's cross-border move, and they have good connections in the brewing industry. Since the boss didn't listen to them, they simply resigned early and ran away. They were hired by Song Ya to specialize The headhunting company who followed Seagram's movement got a high salary, and asked them to dig some managers and winemakers under the leadership of Riise as the backbone of the a+ wine industry.

Everyone sat down on the seaside terrace of the Malibu villa, "It's a beautiful place." The new president of a+ wine industry complimented, and took out an empty wine bottle from his handbag, "This is our first gray goose vodka. look."

"Looks good."

Song Ya weighed it a few times, and the first feeling is that it is very convenient... The bottle is slightly longer and thinner than other popular vodkas in the United States, and there is nothing special about it.

"This is a wine label designed by an expert."

The marketing director took out a piece of label paper. Behind the simple strokes of a Gray Goose were Changbai Mountain and Tianchi Lake in the background, with the words Gray Goose Vodka underneath, and a little red five-pointed star below.

"It's beautiful." Song Ya felt good, "So you decided to use the water from Changbai Mountain to make wine, right?"

"Yes, we took experts to visit Huaguo, where the water quality is the best. This is the funds needed to start the project, about 17 million, including the construction of a complete set of water intake and water purification plants in Changbai Mountain , the acquisition of a Siberian vodka distillery, wine storage and brewing engineers, a new joint venture with Changyu and brewing equipment, as well as filling, packaging, and even wine bottle manufacturing and wine label printing equipment... plus purchases from Northeast Huaguo Long-term contracts for winter wheat.

"

Introduced by two managers.

"So it all starts with vodka, right?"

Song Ya nodded. Since he made up his mind to enter the wine market, he has learned in detail that American people still recognize European and their own brands for red wine, whiskey and other spirits. Don't even think about beer. Budweiser and other American companies are very strong , only vodka, they can recognize brands from Maozi or Poland, and vodka can be used as the base wine for bartending in nightclubs, and non-experienced drinkers generally don't care what brand the bartender uses.

"Everything starts with making bottles." The other party laughed.

Indeed, wine is an industry with high brand-added value. People have different tastes, and drinkers have a mentality of trying something new. Brand recognition and the appearance of wine bottles are very important, so each wine company spends a lot of money every year on advertising and In terms of marketing activities, of course, this refers to consumer-grade wines, and those old winery brands that sell style are not included.

"Yes, we are here to solve this matter today, do you have any difficulties?" Song Ya asked.

"We want to find local suppliers in China, such as wine bottle labels, but none of them meet our requirements. The original equipment of the winery in Siberia still has the problem of high fusel alcohol, so the wine making equipment needs to be imported from various countries. New, this can almost be regarded as a new small chemical plant, the time may be very long, and the trial production is estimated to be until the end of the year..." The other party replied.

"Chemical plants... I like chemical plants, hehe..."

Song Ya smiled.

"By the way, we are going to use the sales channel of our old owner, Seagram. Although we have some connections there, we still need to pay a very high price. In terms of advertising..."

"It's good to use their channels for the time being, but you don't have to worry about the promotion. I will bring the goods in the second edition released at the end of the year, and the price will be a little more expensive at that time. After all, it is the wine that I bring the goods." Song Ya smiled. road.

"Then we can rest assured."

At this time, Song Asheng, Scott and others all came, as well as some financial personnel and lawyers. Since part of the start-up funds came from the balance of a+ clothing's soft sister coins in China, the two companies needed to coordinate.

"Go ahead, I'll make a call and call me anytime if I need anything."

Song Ya didn't have too much energy to take care of the specific affairs. He stared at it for a while, and felt that their meeting was on the normal track, so he got up to do other things.

"Damon Dash, are you in New York?"

He also really needs to make a phone call. The winery project really started. After the professional manager was in place, the former jazzy attendant who came up with the idea was marginalized. Song Ya only let him participate in some preliminary work, and then made an empty promise A marketing position in the New York City area left him aside. After all, black people from the streets participated in the construction of wineries would certainly not be able to convince the public, and now he needs to be appeased.

"Yes, aplus, I've been waiting for your news. We didn't talk at the wedding..."

Damon Dash's voice came through the microphone, and there was indeed some resentment.

"It's basically decided now, and it will be trial production at the end of the year. Come and follow me first to announce the first order of the second college. The matter of Gray Goose Vodka... At that time, New York will definitely need you to work hard." Song Ya said.

"Okay, then I..."

"You come to Los Angeles to meet up first, and learn something from the marketing director of a+ wine industry by the way." Song Ya said.

"Hey, aplus, you shouldn't have invited those two old white men. They are too old and their thinking is out of date." Damon Dash took the opportunity to say.

"But we don't understand. The winery is actually a small chemical factory. Do you know how to manage it? Huh?" Song Ya is learning and selling.

After hanging up the phone, Linda quietly came to report, "Reaser and Scout had a quarrel just now, and it was very violent."

"Don't worry about it if you don't quarrel with me. I know that the relationship between the two of them is very bad now."

Reese provided a lot of help in the start-up stage of a+ Apparel, and also supported a lot of people from the a+ pedal company. However, when Scott became the president, he felt that he was too fond of pointing fingers, so he began to compete and squeeze out the front pedals inside a+ Apparel. Company executives. The relationship between the two managers under him has taken a turn for the worse, and now it has basically reached the point where they do not communicate with each other at all during meetings, and even occasionally argue with each other.

"Did you know? The relationship between Hayden and Yeremov has also become bad." Linda reminded him.

"Um."

Hayden always wanted to give William Morris a package service for the a+ movie studio project, but Yeremov didn't want to swallow it all obediently. Elvis Mitchell's "How Do I Stop This" project was launched, a small project with a production cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition to using black actors for most of Yeremov's roles, Song Ya Just letting him manage alone, Yeremov turned his head and accepted the package service offered by CAA at a lower price, and the conflict with Hayden completely broke out like this.

Oh, by the way, Samuel of Yongdao and O'Grady of Northern Trust seem to have had a quarrel because of differences in the direction of the use of their funds.

On the contrary, Delay, the president of A+ Audio, has a good relationship with everyone, except Big A.

Song Ya felt that it was not a big deal if his subordinates had conflicts. It might not be a good sign for him if they were really friendly, as long as they didn't cause infighting to affect the business.

even……

He glanced at Goodman and Song Asheng who were outside, and then thought of Alicia Flock. It is also a good thing that the several law firms serving him are in competition, at least they don't have to worry about being deceived by them.

He feels that this is already a bit like the embryonic form of MJ's lawyers divided into several factions to fight each other. MJ is so successful, this set of methods must have merits, of course, MJ seems to be fighting too much...

"Where is the merger between MJ and Sony's copyright library?" he asked Linda.

"Still negotiating, it seems very difficult, this is the most eye-catching big deal of the record this year." Linda replied, "Do you want to call Daniel?"

"Forget it, Daniel must be devastated now, because he is busy with his antitrust case."

Song Ya shook her head, "Since Mimi and I's songs don't participate in that deal, it's always inconvenient to keep asking."
