Chapter 732? Party Stick

Latest URL: Doug insisted on arranging the meeting in New York, so Song Ya had no choice but to cross the United States again and rush back from the West Coast.

"Underwood's current situation is not good. The Elephant Party holds the majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Donkey Party will definitely not be able to stop the Elephant Party from boycotting next year's federal budget. Then when the federal government shuts down in November, 800,000 government employees will be laid off. Mandatory vacation, as the whip of the donkey party, he must bear part of this responsibility."

Ms. Sloan knows more about Washington and Capitol Hill than New York and Chicago politics. After being picked up by Song Ya, she immediately went to work. Internal divisions, the chances of passing are indeed very high, but if it is not handled properly, there is a risk of capsizing."

"Forget about the federal budget bill. The Elephant Party only wants to embarrass the current president. After a period of government shutdown, the two sides will definitely reach a compromise. But if the telecommunications bill cannot be passed, it will be devastating to the current president's prestige and next year's general election. Strike, pay attention to my wording, destructive, major TV networks, telecom operators, and equipment manufacturers are all waiting for the bill to pass, and some large-scale industry mergers and acquisitions have already started ahead of schedule..."

"If Underwood is not careful, he may be pulled from the position of party whip."

She said in a familiar way.

"I know, I know Underwood OK? We've been close since he was a little congressman from Illinois."

Song Ya didn't want to hear this, "I've been keeping an eye on it. It might not be a good thing for me to be more troublesome for that guy. It's been a long time since his husband and wife took the initiative to bother me. Help me analyze why he is busy again this time. All you have to do is get out of the way and stare at me."

"Rangele."

Ms. Sloan replied: "The purpose of the Telecommunications Act is precisely to stimulate competition and deregulate, especially the regulation of mergers in the field. You know that some members of Parliament, such as Rangel, rely heavily on the likes of inner city broadcasting companies. Small and medium-sized media groups are generally worried that the intensified competition in the industry will have a serious negative impact on these funders, so their voting tendencies are very volatile, and this is the case for both donkeys and elephants. On the one hand, they must try to keep their votes consistent with the party, on the other hand , they can't betray their benefactor..."

"The black congressmen of the two parties in the House of Representatives are more united. The donkey party has a larger number of black congressmen and is stronger. It is already a political force that cannot be underestimated. There are huge differences within the two parties in the telecommunications bill. Before a possible surprise vote, people like Rangel will take the opportunity to blackmail the party to their advantage."

"Now we all know that the foundation that Rangel is chairman of can get a huge... er, a huge fixed income for him every year from the Apollo Theater, and we also know that Underwood is eager to win over the donkey party. the Black Caucus,

This must be the motive behind their joining together to find you. "

"Fxxk!" Song Ya cursed after listening, "That bastard Underwood wants to spend my money to gain political capital for himself again."

"That should be it."

Ms. Sloan said with a smile, "However, with your current strength, your money is not easy to earn. He should offer a relatively good price. You might as well listen carefully first."

"Where's Ranger? Who is that?" Song Ya asked again.

"Rangele was born in the Manhattan Four in his early years. He was a member of the Federal House of Representatives in 1971. You know that he has been re-elected for more than 20 years. Later, he parted ways with Percy Sutton and Dinkins. On the one hand, Percy Sutton He made the big mistake of pleasing white voters. On the other hand, he himself has become more and more close to the mainstream political forces of the Donkey Party. He is one of the black MPs closest to the mainstream faction of the Donkey Party. In the past two years, he has been very active in standing up for the incumbent Great commander, very effective."

Ms. Sloan continued: "And he has a certain prestige within the black party group, which can partially influence the choice of this political force. Of course, once personal interests are involved, he will become a very cunning scumbag and a target of blackmail." The timing and sense of proportion are good, the asking price is very 'dare', but also very greedy..."

"For example, his interests in the Apollo Theater should not be a secret among the upper-level politicians in New York. Therefore, from time to time, the New York councils at all levels have proposed to investigate whether the Apollo Theater is involved in corruption and the transfer of interests. Most of the motivations are really not to hunt down. Dingkins, who is already out of work, is going for him."

"On this point, he has had games and cooperation with the broken Dingkins and others for many years. After Dingkins lost the election and ended politically, his weight as a tumbler in New York's black political circle has invisibly increased. Dingkins and Sa The Ton family had to live with him and depend on him to a certain extent."

"For example, in the capital injection negotiations of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, Dingkins and Pierre Sutton will never touch his interests, even if they lose you, a high-quality buyer."

"You said so much..."

Song Ya frowned, "Can you sum it up in two simple sentences? What kind of person is Rangel?"

"Party stick." Ms. Sloan used only one word.

"Say it earlier, I understand everything."

The group arrives in Harlem and meets Doug in a building behind the Apollo Theatre.

"you two."

Doug was still habitually hiding in the shadows of the corridor, making a gesture far away.

"Mike, you wait here."

Song Ya took Ms. Sloan and followed Doug into an office full of bookshelves, and Rangel was already waiting there.

"APLUS, Ms. Sloan, it's not convenient for me to stay in New York for a long time, so I won't talk nonsense, sit down."

Rangel, with gray hair and artistic temperament, remained calm on the surface, "I heard that you withdrew from the capital injection negotiations, so decisive that even Dingkins and Pierre almost didn't react?"

"I can't satisfy Pierre, Monsieur Rangel."

Song Ya sat down, "Continuing contact will only waste each other's time."

"About the Apollo Theater?" he asked.

"Almost." Song Ya nodded.

"Me and Underwood and everyone else will do their best to help the Inner City Broadcasting Company keep the Apollo Theater, and you don't have to worry about that at all, as long as it doesn't appear in some fucking hedge agreement."

Rangel said: "Ms. Sloan is your political adviser, and she should have told you all about this, right?"

"Yes, Ms. Sloan is professional, the most professional."

Song Ya smiled at the big-mouthed beauty, "But I injected capital to do business, and I have to abide by my own financial discipline."

"Remove that clause, we will let First Bank of New Jersey relax the repayment period of more than 10 million yuan, and allow you to replace it with a low-interest long-term loan. Of course, you have to provide a personal joint guarantee."

Doug, who was leaning on the bookshelf, was not wordy, and simply offered the conditions, "In this way, you can get 30% of the inner city broadcasting company with only an actual payment of more than 10 million in cash..."

"Thirty-two, if it's you, it's thirty-two. Russell Simmons is willing to pay two million more and only get 30%. We will give you priority."

Rangel added, "As long as you remove that one."

"I don't like the First Bank of New Jersey..."

Underwood must have a deep friendship with that bank. As early as when he bought the Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company, he asked Doug to send him to take a loan from it. "They used to force my loan, remember? Doug, it happened in 1991." Song Ya naturally shook her head, "It's my rejected account, and I don't need a loan for the time being..."

Doug shrugged and looked at Rangel.

"We'll take care of your other troubles too, like that case in Chicago," Rangel said.

"I thought Mr. Dingkins said that day that he would never get involved in my case. You were there at the time, right? Mr. Rangel."

Song Ya smiled contemptuously. What he can't accept now is that he wants to threaten himself with that incident. "Pierre said the same thing as you before, but I don't care. I don't accept threats very much."

"I'm not threatening, I won't threaten you with bad things for you, but you really need help, right? On that matter. Like the black caucus in Congress, everyone, no one doesn't like you, like Ann Durwood..."

Rangel also made an offer.

"Mr. Rangel, why do you want me to inject capital? Russell Simmons has prepared the money and is waiting, is my judgment right?" Song Ya asked back.

"I'm worried about him and the people who work with him. Dingkins doesn't matter anyway, but I can't." Rangel replied.

"Can I rest assured? I'm not even from New York." Song Ya asked.

"Didn't you write a song about New York?"

Rangel made a fuss, "There is no better candidate than you, otherwise Percy Sutton would not find you, the situation is like this, you, plus me, plus Underwood, we have very The big possibility is to keep the Apollo Theater. If I add Russell Simmons? It is very likely that the management right will be lost two thousand years ago."

"But you still refuse to accept a paper agreement." Song Ya said.

"With that agreement you're not going to go all out to defend the franchise, are you?" Rangel asked rhetorically.

Song Ya understands that the other party has always been fussy, and what Ms. Sloan said is right, she is really a seasoned party stick, "Why don't I talk to Underwood in person first." He didn't want to talk any more, and looked at Dao grid.

"Okay." Doug nodded after thinking about it, "But it's inconvenient on the phone, and he can't go away at all."

"Then to Washington? Now, I have a private jet."

"Mr. Underwood, how are you doing?"

He rushed to Washington again non-stop, "How are you talking with Rangel? I need the support of him and the black caucus here." Underwood was a little haggard. He refused Ms. Sloan's presence and opened his arms, "From all directions The pressure of the last few bill votes has been a bit overwhelming for me."

"I understand, but this time it's another 30 million business. Remember the Bahn Chemical acquisition?"

Song Ya smiled and stabbed in the face, "You always make me unhappy when I spend money when you intervene."

"It's always good, right? I mean take down the Inner City Broadcasting Company. Haven't you thoroughly communicated with Doug and Rangel?" Underwood didn't mind his attitude at all.

"The damn old man actually mentioned the Chicago case to me. I came here just to make sure that you plan to use that matter to..."

"Absolutely not." Underwood quickly spread his hands, "I'm from Chicago, and I support you and Peter, unconditionally, OK?"

"That's good." Song Ya nodded.

"But we need to help each other..."

"Oh my god, it's here again. I'll take out 30 million, what about you? This is called helping each other?" Song Ya shouted pretendingly, holding her head in her hands.

"I'll help you solve that case thoroughly." Underwood said, "Completely, without any hidden dangers!"

"Then you just said to support me unconditionally!?"

"This is an opportunity APLUS. Rangel is asking for a price with the back of the black party group. The commander-in-chief is worried, and I am under pressure..."

Underwood also raised his voice, "But this is also an opportunity for you and me, it is a real opportunity APLUS! I will tell the commander-in-chief of the needs of the black party group and ask him to help solve your troubles. Otherwise, how can I persuade him to intervene? What about a case where an FBI agent was killed? Who in the United States can solve your trouble once and for all? If you don’t make a decision at this critical time, how can the commander-in-chief be willing to take action? You pay 30 million to completely solve the trouble and successfully inject capital City Broadcasting Company, I have no pressure, the commander can sleep well, Rangel is satisfied, everyone has won!"

"Wow wow wow wow, you say it like there is no loser in this matter. I don't see many such things." Song Ya sneered.

"No! You know who the loser is APLUS, that dead detective will never have the chance of justice being done!"
