Chapter 682

Both of them are law school students. Peter has been a prosecutor at all levels for half of his life. Alicia is now the named partner of the law firm. She really pays attention to the case without any nonsense. Peter can't stay too long. So there is a lot of information in the conversation. Song Yaju listens attentively and can barely keep up with the pace.

"That's it."

Peter felt that he was almost in collusion and looked up at his watch. "Aplus, you and Alicia still have business to talk about, right? Then you are busy. I'm gone. There is still a lot of work in the campaign office. "

"Don't worry, brother. Give it to me."

Sonya looked at Alicia and said, "well, Mr. flock."

"It doesn't matter." Peter put out his fist and touched him with a smile. "Remember, don't talk about it at the phone or any other place that might be monitored."

The elevator arrives on the floor of flock and Argus law firm. Sonya and Alicia and Peter say goodbye. Then they walk into Alicia's office one after another.

"Wow, it's a lot different from the last time I came here. You've done a good job, Alicia."

Song Ya closed the door behind him and looked at the inside and outside. He exclaimed, "it's true that the last time I came here was very humble. Now it's a small and vigorous law firm with family members. It's even bigger than Goodman's and Hamlin's. of course, the two firms serve different clients, so we can't simply compare them.

"Thank you."

Alicia sat down behind her boss's desk and plucked her long hair with complacency. "I've done a lot of hard work here. Our recent winning rate is very good."

"I understand." Sonya sat down on the other side of the table. "You former Lockhart and Gardner fourth grade lawyers have made a name in Chicago."

"Yes, seniority doesn't mean everything. Even their senior partners will win or lose with us."

They chatted a few words, tacitly did not mention their case, "OK, can we talk about the new cooperation project?"

In the same sentence, Peter rushes ahead, everyone is tied to a boat, and song Ya naturally wants to do logistics work with his own money. However, he doesn't want to be a big loser. Some words must be made clear: "well, Alicia, I do have a new project that needs legal services, but I also need to reach a consensus with you in advance, that is, my business depends on It's for Peter's sake. Of course, I appreciate your own and your business ability, and I want to make sure that you and Peter will not separate in the future, or in a short time, otherwise I will have to reevaluate our cooperation. I'm sorry, but I may have made it a little more explicit... "

His words are very straightforward, but it is necessary, because he feels that the beautiful mature girl in front of him sometimes can't grasp his position because of his idealistic personality.

"Aplus, it's hard to imagine a boy your age can be so cold sometimes."

Alicia's smile froze on her face, but she soon adjusted her mood and replied with a little sadness: "I understand. Please rest assured that Peter and I need each other. He needs me to continue to be a good wife and give him credit for his public image. I also need his political influence. Although it is disappointing and sad that marriage has become a transaction of interests, we are all adults... "

"Well."

Song Ya is no longer wordy, his time is also very valuable, "Neicheng broadcasting company, do you understand?"

"Not at all."

Alicia shook her head blankly. "I thought..."

"You think it's my VC business, right? I'm sorry, maybe you got some information from dillena that I'm going to set up a new venture capital company, but I'm facing difficulties there. I'm sure I can't get into business in a short time. Please write down the following words... "

Song Ya began to talk about his work. "Inner city broadcasting company is a company dominated by African American political forces in Manhattan, and its main business is radio operation. Now it is managed by Pierre Sutton. He and his father, Percy Sutton, jointly own about 11% of the company's shares. Other shares are scattered in the hands of various institutions and individual small shareholders, including former New York Mayor Ding Ding Ding King, the owner of the first African American women's TV station, Dorothy... "

"You want to buy? It's hard for most radio stations to make money now? " Alicia asked.

"Yes, I'm still hesitating, so I need you and your law firm to participate in the evaluation. The company's operation is very bad. I have entrusted Yongdao accounting firm to get a rough understanding. Only four to five of their own radio stations located in big cities can be responsible for their own profits and losses, and most of the eight joint-venture radio stations are losing money. They have also invested in small African American media all over the country. Perhaps most of the investment is for political purposes, so few can make money Even Yongdao can't find out how much debt all the affiliated companies have accumulated. At present, their only stable and high profit project is the Apollo Theater in Manhattan, but only the New York City government can forcibly take back the management right at any time, because the long-term low-cost lease has already expired, and it is in the automatic state of annual renewal... "

"Why didn't the city hall take it back?" Alicia asked."For political reasons, Dinkins used to be mayor of New York, and naturally he would not move the lease. The new mayor, Giuliani of the elephant party, may not want to risk being attacked and engaged in political pursuit during his first term of office. However, the consensus in New York is that if Giuliani continues to serve successfully, the inner city broadcasting company will absolutely not protect the operation right of Apollo Theater."

Song Ya replied: "the political forces of dingkins and Sutton are called Manhattan gang by New York people. Most of them are African Americans. Because the Dinkins donkey party lost its extremely important power in New York City, and the mainstream white, Jewish and Chinese groups had a very bad stroke during their tenure, the political power of the Manhattan gang was greatly weakened As they grow older, they have no politicians who can make it to the top. They only have some influence in the courts, municipalities and law enforcement units of New York. "

"How much do they charge?" Alicia asked.

Song Ya wryly laughed, "they want me to inject 30 million capital, take less than 25% of the equity, and become the largest single shareholder and chairman of the board. They have four seats in the 13 member board of directors, but the specific management still needs to be maintained by the Sutton family until the end of 1999. Pierre Sutton's general manager and executive director will also work until then."

"Very harsh conditions, according to what you just described, their valuation can reach 120 million, but in fact, the company may be worthless, right?" Alicia asked.

"Well Money is not the biggest problem. If I join the Bureau, the inner city broadcasting company may be able to take a break in the short term, but in the long run, it is likely to lose many donations from foundations and African American social groups as the Manhattan Gang weakens year by year. The important reason why many African American organizations can still operate normally in many media all over the country is that many African American organizations are engaged in money and politics All kinds of support provided throughout the year, and then they returned with media resources and political help. "

Songya was very frank and continued to introduce, "and even if I sit on the board of directors and have four directors, I don't necessarily get the control of the company, because other directors are either former political bigwigs like dingkins and parsishton, or representatives of African American foundations or social organizations, and they have great energy. In the same way, I think it is very difficult to carry out reform and shake off the burden. The investments that are spread all over the country and look very bad to the outside world have hidden political funders under the water. If you want to peel off those bad assets, you will certainly offend the local African American political power. It's not worth the loss for me, because I bought that company just to make use of those resources. Considering the problems I'm facing now, I don't mind losing some money every year in that company, but now it seems that losing a little money is far from filling its hole. "

"I understand why you hesitated..."

Alicia pondered for a moment and said, "although this 30 million acquisition is a big deal for me, it does not seem wise to enter this company."

Song ya did not answer positively, pointing to the landline phone in front of her, "is this an extension?"

After receiving a positive reply, Sonya picked up the phone and dialed, "please transfer to Mr. Sutton, Pierre Sutton, no appointment. This is aplus, ok..."

Waiting for the transfer gap, he pointed to Alicia in front of the plane, she understood, also picked up the microphone, silent audit.

"Hey, aplus, I've been waiting for your call." Pierre Sutton's excited voice came into their ears. "How are you thinking?"

"Pierre, I'm very unhappy, you know why." Song Ya is very rude to the point.

"What? For what? " Pierre Sutton was puzzled, "because of the way our company operates?"

"No, it's what you asked your radio reporters to do when I announced my new order." Song Ya said.

"Ha ha, just take our offer." Pierre said with a smile.

"You know that's not a good idea, Pierre. I started out at the age of fifteen, and I know the business. If I need help, I will take the initiative to tell you, if you want to help, you can also inform me or Sony Columbia Records in advance. I don't want to face any accident, whether it's good or bad for me. There's only one reason why you do it. You want to show me the strength of inner city broadcasting company I don't like the way you show your muscles. "

Song Ya stabbed the other side's Xiao Jiu coldly.

"Well, maybe I made you misunderstand, but I really didn't have that motive, aplus. I just said hello to my subordinates. Well, anyway, I apologize to you. "

Pierre, of course, would not admit, "by the way, have you considered injecting money into us?"

"Isn't that a rush? As soon as Mimi and I had an incomplete honeymoon, I got involved in the busy new professional publicity, and I had to wait for me to take a breath. " Song Ya and Alicia take a look at each other, and then they give up.

"Well, with aplus like this, we really need a sum of money to tide over the difficulties, but Neicheng broadcasting company does not accept everyone's money, and this investment opportunity is not available. You are what my father and Mr. Dinkins think is the most suitable successor. They like your personal image and political stand... "Pierre said: "Mr. Dinkins asked me to study you, and I agree with you on a range of issues like South Africa. You and inner city broadcasting are made for each other. Controlling this company can bring you great influence among African Americans. You are so young, the sooner you join hands with us, the greater the future... "

"I don't think it's necessary at my age to get in touch with this prematurely." Song Ya replied.

"Believe me aplus, we can help you a lot. For example, you satirized Fukuyama's theory of the end of history in a small paper in philosophy class at the University of Chicago last year, right? Please allow me to quote your original text: "Mr. Fukuyama's praise of the current political system of the United States in his book the end of history and the last man reminds me of what Cicero, an ancient Roman statesman, said: the hereditary political system of Rome is the most perfect political system. But it is clear that Cicero was wrong... '"

Pierre said with a smile: "it's a bit imprudent. As a promising African American light, you should pay attention to your words and deeds in University. Mr. Dinkins told me to take care of you and not to repeat the mistakes of MJ and Simpson."

"Take care of it? How do I feel like you're threatening me Song Ya sneered.

"Don't be so sensitive aplus, join us. We need you and you need us, please believe me." Pierre took the opportunity to complain, "you've been avoiding me lately."

Song Ya took a deep breath. "I think you are too sensitive, Pierre, not only sensitive, but also too eager. Now it is less than a month before I and your father talk about the purchase intention."

"I don't shy away from the trouble that inner city broadcasting is having. We're drowning aplus." Pierre responded, "we can't wait for you too long."

"Well, well, I'll entrust the capital injection negotiation to a local Chicago law firm. I really can't spare the time personally. You can talk to my attorney Well, remember, flock and Argus, their named partner, Alicia flock, will represent me

After the verbal confrontation with Pierre, song Ya hung up the phone and stood up, shrugging and smiling at Alicia, who was also hanging up. "Now this is your trouble. I hope you can get the same good results as DTS."

"Don't worry, I'll get the best deal for you."

Alicia came over and held out her hand. "The guy who just watched your pocket and couldn't get rid of it was really annoying. I won't let him feel better."

"I hope so."

Song Ya held her hand and joked, "of course, I've changed my mind several times about this acquisition. Maybe I'll stop the acquisition suddenly. You should be prepared to take only the agent and the labor fee."

"In fact, I personally don't think it's a good idea to acquire such a company. Do you have any follow-up business ideas?" Alicia asked.

"For the time being, there's a bit of vague thinking."

Song Ya winked at her again, "please allow me to keep it secret."

"Don't keep too many secrets from your lawyer." She also responded playfully.

"Hey, hey..."
