Chapter 964: Fighting the Boss
"Ahem..."
At noon the next day, Xue Linfen pushed open the door of the study, and the governor's wife, who was following her, coughed and kept fanning with her hands, "Who's in there?"
"It's just me." Song Ya replied.
"Don't you hate smoking the most?" asked the governor's wife.
"Oh, Yeremov was there just now, and that old smoking gun killed me."
Song Ya, who had to think too much, remembered to open the window for ventilation.
"Hehe, you only tolerate your subordinates smoking in front of you when you are in trouble, right?"
"Oh! You know what trouble I have, Alicia."
The conversation between the two made Xue Linfen look around strangely, and Song Ya had already held the door of the study, "Xue Lin, don't you still have some apple foie gras and chickpea beef stew at home? Go and help me Treat Yeremov and Goodman to them."
After sending Xue Linfen away, he closed the door and said: "I have already given Ms. Sloan a sum of money to delay the appointment and selection of the special prosecutor for the Barn case as much as possible on Capitol Hill. We must send A+CN's The capital injection was expedited, and Sloan said it would be best to get it done in September."
"Is it necessary to go so fast? There is still a long way to go from the appointment of a special prosecutor to the initiation of the lawsuit. In the middle, jurisdictional disputes, whether the investigation process is in line with procedural justice, whether the investigators have a history of discrimination, etc. procrastination……"
Alicia, who was wearing a blue professional suit, put down her bag casually, picked up a pink piggy bank on the desk and shook it, and there were crisp collisions of coins and rustling of banknotes, "Your son saved it?"
"Mine."
Alicia is right. There are many ways for rich people to harass and confront law enforcement units in every aspect of the lawsuit, protracting the lawsuit for a long time. In the end, the average salary and quality surpass the gold medal lawyers with many public prosecutors. Winning in team battles, the Simpson murder case is a classic textbook.
But now there is a very practical problem in front of Song Ya. His shareholding in A+CN must be reduced to less than 50%, otherwise once the special prosecutor initiates a lawsuit for treason, A+CN will inevitably follow the bad luck. On the inspection list on the website, less than 50% is still unsafe, and we have to find a way to lower it in the future.
According to the previously negotiated conditions, the Illinois State Government, the Chicago City Government, the fund managed by Michelle, and the South Shore Bank all contributed more than 22 million to get 30% of the shares of A+CN, then A+ The valuation of CN is as high as 75 million. Not long ago, A+CN, which was advertised as struggling to survive, suddenly got this price...it would be a bit eye-catching.
You must know that the Inner City Broadcasting Company accepts Clear Media's capital injection of 15 million, 20% of the shares, and the valuation is also 75 million, and also accepts a very harsh condition from Clear Media, that is, the entire All of the company's holding media must join the advertising platform alliance of the other party, and the autonomy of accepting advertisements will be lost in the future, which means losing an important source of influence for the media. Of course, advertising revenue will increase slightly to alleviate losses.
The last time I spent 28 million to get 32% of the shares, then the Inner City Broadcasting Company was valued at 87.5 million at the time, and this investment was a loss.
A+CN currently only owns one TV station and holds a small amount of shares in another TV station. The scale is far inferior to the inner city broadcasting company. Whoever is the first to inject capital into A+CN means that it will be the first to accept the valuation of 75 million. Policymakers have the greatest political risk.
So the four companies are willing to inject capital because they are willing to inject capital, but they don't want to be the one to help the other three companies to fight the thunder. It is even more unrealistic for the four companies to take risks together.
The governor is running very happily while sick, and the governor with countless black spots is naturally the best candidate in Song Ya's mind, "Don't interrupt Alicia..."
He used to take the piggy bank from the woman's hand, "Your law firm is in charge of the legal affairs of A+CN, you have the obligation to tide over the difficulties with us." Then he squeezed the other party's hand to seduce.
"I have conditions."
Alicia has a clear distinction between public and private, and she can understand hints. She pulled her hand away and said, "My law firm wants to join your dream lawyer team."
"Hey! I haven't been accused yet!" Song Ya protested with open arms.
"If you are accused."
"That doesn't work, you are the governor's wife Alicia, and Peter can't allow it." Song Ya said: "This will bring him a crisis of public opinion."
"But I heard you plan to find Diane Lockhard and Will Gardner."
Alicia's news is very well-informed, and she definitely has an eyeliner in the other party's law firm.
"Diane's status and connections in Chicago's legal circles are top-notch. Will Gardner has a good relationship with some judges, and his defense success rate is exaggerated. Moreover, their law firm participated in the early legal work of the relocation of the Bahn Chemical Plant. , I must hold them steady."
Song Ya said the truth, "Sorry, Alicia, I know that the two of you are competitors, but now..."
"Then I will divorce Peter first."
She is really persistent enough, "Let me join your dream lawyer team, APLUS, your case may even surpass Simpson's in attention... I want to use this to fight to become famous, think about those lawyers of Simpson! Now It's all about publishing!"
"Don't..."
Song Ya was confused by her crow's mouth, and sat down rubbing her brows, "Ms. Sloan told me that it would not be possible. And Peter can't afford to divorce you. Many of his votes come from the public's support for you. A tolerant, Great kindness from a good wife."
"Damn it! APLUS..."
She was extremely disappointed, and sat down slumped, "I feel completely trapped by Mrs. Flock's identity and network of interests!"
"Uh, I understand your distress, Alicia, and I sympathize. I am willing to make you happy, and I can do whatever I want, but now I am really... okay? Let's understand each other..."
Why are you suddenly emotional? Song Ya didn't want to spend her time on business coaxing women, "The primary question at the moment is: Is the Illinois state capital willing to be the first to inject capital into A+CN?"
"Wouldn't your African-American friends be willing?"
Alicia's interests are tied to her nominal husband, Peter Flock, otherwise the law firm opened by a fourth-year student would not have so many clients, and she would not agree easily after she calmed down.
Fortunately, the topic is finally back on track.
New York, Upper East Side.
"That kid has too much energy, the whole thing seems to be advancing in the mud..."
Hollywood Eye Anthony Pelicano flipped through his notebook and said: "If this continues, if he spends his money until next year, and then signs a new contract with the next giant, then the forces willing to protect him will be even stronger. I After calculation, he still has 2.5% of the shares of Netscape in his hand. This money alone is enough to hire Simpson's fantasy lawyers to fight ten wife-killing cases, maybe more. Don't look at him crying every day and talking poorly. Dadui's companies are losing money, but in fact many companies are helping him make money, such as selling clothes, wine, musical instrument pedals, not to mention A+ records...John Carley still doesn't want to hand over his record in Sony Columbia Records Power?"
"John Carley has been addicted to being in power for so long, even if he swore it before me and Mr. Howard Stringer in person."
Tommy Motura huddled in the dark and tugged at his hair in pain: "Now I am faced with a paradox. If that kid is popular, John Carley and those politicians will ally with him or take care of him secretly, and no one else will." He has done too much, even Jesse Helms, who hates blacks the most, so we need to wait patiently, we can't play cards, and we can't do it. But if we don't play cards, how can he pass the gas quickly? As for It is obviously more reasonable for a former star to die of drugs or commit suicide, and it is less likely to be endlessly pursued by the police."
"We can no longer use hard copy contacts. MJ has already doubted you and Aaron Brugman. If you lose his managerial position, it will really be nothing." Anthony Pelicano Said, "We'll just have to wait."
"Fxxk!" Motura cursed, "Tell me some good news, Anthony."
"The good news is that the kid is not as popular as before. I'm just talking about the facts, Tommy. Originally, the first time he enjoyed the top exposure rate was the official announcement of his relationship with Mariah Carey. Later, he cheated during marriage and hurt a lot of popularity. Black people at the bottom He was all attracted by the war between the east and west coasts, and he himself went to make movies and take some law school exams, and he seldom showed his face..."
Anthony Pelicano said: "If it wasn't for the big sales of the 21 album and the dirty-label music video that gave him the hat of a trendy star, I'm afraid he would have rolled back to the state he was in before 1993. "
"He will have a tour in Latin America soon, and the fans there love him very much. Waiting for news of the audience being full and the fans fainting from excitement at the scene to spread back to the United States, it is enough to make up for what you said." Motura knows the record industry better.
"Then what do you say? Don't play a single card?" Anthony Pelicano asked.
"I will endure, I will definitely endure until the day when the opportunity arises, I have prepared for it long enough, and I will never give up." Motura vowed viciously.
"Hey! Do you play video games, Tommy? I feel like the two of us are working together to defeat the boss...a twenty-one-year-old boss."
Anthony Pelicano closed his notebook with a sigh.
