Song Ya naturally wouldn't know that Russell Simmons was cursing her angrily. In fact, from his perspective, Russell Simmons is the most difficult one to deal with.

He forced the Manhattan to give in without much effort, Pierre Sutton gave in, def jam recorders were panic, Quincy Jones and his daughter quarreled at home, ll cool j hid in Hollywood, bragging dad didn't even dare to join the game, only Russell Simmons, he had no idea what to do.

That guy has been in the music industry for many years. He was in charge of the def jam record period, old-style, hard-core, and political rap music. Almost the entire 1980s, musicians in New York and even the East Coast respected him very much. He was neither as big-mouthed as Quincy Jones, nor had any bad habits. He was extremely difficult to catch, and had a harmonious relationship with the political circle of New York, which was highly recognized by Dingkins and others.

After years of rooting in New York, he has many relationships within the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation. Billy Taylor, a jazz pianist, composer, media and education activist, jazz pianist, composer and female singer Roberta Flak, two respected African-American musicians are his best friends, not to mention a large group of veteran rappers from Def Jam origins, such as ll cool j. He knows each other with the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation and the Manhattan Gang.

In the past, his status may not be top among the black people, but after receiving nearly 50 million in cash from Polygon, everything is different. These days, billionaires are rare, and black billionaires cherish animals even more. Once they cross that threshold, they instantly become one of the representatives of all black people, with their reputation and influence leaps rapidly.

With a capital injection of 30 million yuan, he only subscribed half of it to 15 million yuan. The pain is a bit painful, but it should not be difficult to bear it. At least that's what Song Ya thought.

But what Song Ya didn't know was that Russell Simmons had just felt the troubles he had gradually become accustomed to in the past two years. Countless people who wanted to make money from billionaires surrounded them like flies. Social activists gave donations to funds or charitable organizations. Politicians and friends needed funds for elections, brokers for selling luxury houses, yachts, luxury goods, Wall Street elites who encouraged him to buy investment products, and so on, adapting to it takes time.

"Oh by the way, I wish you win the party primary election."

Back in Chicago, after he helped Peter Flock's governor's campaign to endorse Peter Flock, the two came to Alicia's law firm together.

It's still the same freight elevator.

"Thanks."

Peter Flock thanked him, but the two of them came here not to have fun. He began to talk about Vick's case. "There are only two trials at present. It is the old case of the two not-so-important team members of the Stormtrooper. There is no danger for the time being. I found out that FBI changed the instigator named Ma Hong, who was responsible for the charge. He rushed in Chicago, and often he didn't even pay attention to procedural justice, which was difficult to deal with..."

"Since that's the case, send him to the dock?" Song Ya asked.

Peter shook his head and lowered his voice to the point where he was almost overwhelmed by the noise of the freight elevator. "The commander has helped, forcing FBI to delegate the dominance of this case to the Chicago branch. The director here has a certain understanding with us, so everyone is doing it at the moment, so we are not inconvenient to move front-line case handlers..."

"This is good news." Song Ya smiled.

"Yes, but there are still great risks. After winning within the party, I have only one opponent. The elephant candidate is the chairman of the Chicago Bar Association. His public opinion base is far inferior to me, but the social energy is very strong. It is impossible not to use this case to attack me."

Peter looked very frank, "This is the main risk we face in the second half of this year. Fortunately, there is no problem of re-designation of constituencies during the next governor's term. For example, the party's support for governor candidates will be smaller, otherwise it will be more difficult."

Song Ya knew that the United States would re-define the constituency every ten years, 1990/2000, and the governors of each state had great power in this matter. For example, there were two constituencies of the constituencies, one constituency was the same as the deputies of the two parties. The other constituency had a strong supporter of the two parties. The other constituency had a 37-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7

"Okay, I know, there is something that needs me, even if you say, Peter."

Now that the two have a high interest in their interests, Song Ya is also stingy to provide generous promises.

"That's right, can you ask Pastor Allison to endorse me? It's crucial for me to get African votes."

Peter also made a straightforward request.

"I am very familiar with Pastor Allison, I will go and say hello tomorrow." Song Ya nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll count on you." Peter patted his shoulder happily, "Go out, Alicia is waiting for you."

"OK."

Pierre Sutton has handed over the operating status of the inner city broadcaster he asked to Alicia's law firm and Morningstar, and they are currently doing statistics outside.

Peter greeted his wife and left in a hurry, while Song Ya stayed in her office.

"This is the basic statistical result. If you want to read it, read it first. The first page is the briefing, and I will continue to be busy..."

Alicia put a large stack of folders in front of Song Ya.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work Alicia."

After Song Ya thanked her, she started looking through it alone.

Overall, inner city broadcasters are not standard private companies. They accept government funding every year and also accept social donations. Most of them come from rich Africans. They provide some social obligations, such as giving Malcolm Ax's widow a high-paying idle job pension, such as injecting many small media that do not make money in the United States and speak out for Africans. They are also the money bags of many politicians. They raise a large amount of commission funds every year in various names. Of course, the twelve normal operating self-operated radio stations, eight joint venture radio stations and some small local TV stations are still the main body.

All of these are most obvious in the Apollo Theater. The New York City Government, on the one hand, provides very cheap leases, and on the other hand, there are various cultures of names every year, supporting minority projects and other subsidies. This ancient theater located on 125th Street in Harlem also has considerable tickets and visiting income. In addition to maintaining normal operation, the profit is also used to support many "idlers" who get paid for free, such as retired jazz musicians, African-American politicians and celebrities' families, retired politicians who walk into the revolving door, etc. The remaining part is paid to the inner city broadcaster, and some of them flow into several foundations. The foundation, where the federal real-powered Representative Langel, was the chairman, took the head in it. Although these foundations have legitimate reasons such as equal rights and charity, the salary of these foundations to directors and other positions is very generous. How much they can be used in fact depends entirely on personal conscience.

The same is true for other small institutions scattered throughout the country.

This is a big net. Even though Pierre turned to sincerely cooperated, he informed him in advance what could not be reflected in the official accounts when he visited the beach villa on Malibu, but what he got was still a misty report, and the Manhattan Gang also warned him that he must not leak it.

But on the other hand, the big net that the Manhattan Gang started woven in the 1970s was also very attractive to Song Ya. Isn’t this the source of social influence?

"The loan alone is as high as nearly 60 million, and the interest rate is not low. The more than 10 million borrowed from the No. 1 Bank of New Jersey has been urged to repay many times. The deadline is coming in October this year..."

Song Ya shook her head while looking at it. The name of the No. 1 Bank in New Jersey evoked his memories. When Motula was threatened, the bank forced himself to pay back the money...

He shook his head and threw away the bad past. The inner city broadcaster was really unable to move on. No wonder the Sutton family refused to let go of the 30 million figure. Without these 30 million, once the loan defaults, they would immediately face a bankruptcy crisis.

Of course, he is not short of high-quality assets, such as the Apollo Theatre, two major radio stations in New York, and the Washington branch that has been hollowed out by himself...

"How is it? What do you think? aplus."

Just as he was dizzy and full of doubts in his heart, Alicia came to an end in her work and walked in with two cups of coffee.

"I don't know...oh, thank you."

Song Ya took the coffee and took a sip, "I'm in a mess now."

"It's true." Alicia smiled. "This fruit looks mottled, the flesh is bitter, but it's still a bit nutritious..."

"A good metaphor, at least it is not really a simple bottomless pit." Song Ya smiled bitterly.

"They got 30 million yuan, probably mainly used to repay and replace loans..." Alicia said.

Song Ya nodded in agreement, "Yes, so I will definitely stick to Ms. Sloan's four suggestions. It is necessary to get the power of splitting, selling, and shutting down non-performing assets, and must not fall into the big risk of the Apollo Theater being forcibly recovered by the New York City Government."

"It's harder."

Alicia said: "I mean the Apollo Theater. Although Representative Langel has great interests in it, you must know that it is almost time for the second term of the mayor of the Party, Giuliani. The strong man who has worked hard to reverse the security situation in New York should be re-election without much pressure. The overall political influence of the Manhattan Gang is rapidly declining, and it is difficult to protect the interests of the theater every year."

"Well, the same views are a little bit the same."

Song Ya naturally agreed, "But I noticed that the affiliated foundation of former New York Secretary of State Basil Patterson can still get a large amount of funds from the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation every year. His son, New York Senator David Patterson, should be the future star of Manhattan's high hopes. The reason why the father and son are drawn a line with Parcy Sutton and Dingkins on the surface is that they do not want to be implicated by two former politicians who have suffered a political defeat and have a bad public view."

"It's just a senator in the state. There are dozens or hundreds of politicians in each state, not to mention the fact that there are also a super city like New York City that has severely decentralized powers."

Alicia disagreed with him, "It's hard for David Patterson to stand out."

"That's right..." Song Ya also knew that this was the case.

"Alicia." A staff member knocked in, "What's going on with this sum of millions? Receivable? Or bad debt?"

“What payment?”

Alicia took the documents in his hand and glanced at them, "Oh, this is their donation commitment that has not been actually received over the years. It doesn't count anything. It is placed in the attachment. According to the nature of the inner city broadcaster's business, it doesn't even have to be disclosed to the public. Maybe I put it in the wrong place."

"Okay." The staff went out and she put the documents on the table.

"Isn't this a fraud?" Song Ya picked up the documents casually and looked through them.

"Ha, it's so ugly. In fact, this phenomenon is not uncommon. Some of them are tacit understanding between the two sides. After all, only ordinary people will follow suit if celebrities take the lead." Alicia is not surprised at all.

"Um?"

Song Ya saw the names of some African-American celebrities in the pledge list. Among them, Oprah, the most famous talk show host, appeared the most frequently. He became interested in an instant, sat upright and looked carefully, "Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow,

"Of course, otherwise her name wouldn't appear in this document." Alicia replied casually.

Song Ya's eyes shined, "Alicia."

"Um?"
Chapter completed!
