Chicago 1990

"Do you plan to start expanding sales next year?"

Song Ya was also dealing with politicians at this time. He asked Scott, the general manager of A+ Apparel.

"The current plan is like this, but the textile quota we allocated to China is not enough. I think we should join major importers such as Wal-Mart to go to Capitol Hill for public relations." Scott replied: "I heard that the Chief Executive will be abolished next year. The multi-fiber agreement is replaced by the textile and clothing agreement. Tariffs on Chinese textiles can still be lowered, but quotas are still a problem."

"is it?"

Of course Song Ya is willing to do this kind of thing, but he doesn’t want to make the mistake of Barn Chemical’s technical data again, so that professional managers feel that he is deliberately helping Hua Guo, "You let go and do it, we are not signing. Did Ogilvy Agency help with PR?"

"We personally have to move social relations." Scout hinted.

"Looking for a politician? Who can help?" Song Ya tempted him to take the initiative.

"Gore." Scout replied: "The deputy commander has been a senator for many years, and he is still very appealing. Mr. Underwood can help us contact some members of Congress on Capitol Hill, plus the elephants of the cotton-producing regions. Party local councillor..."

"Hey, wait, wait." Song Ya hurriedly stopped him from dreaming, "This kind of thing shouldn't be our kind of shrimp leading the way, what does Walmart say?"

"They? Ha ha... no matter how small the plate, there is always no shortage of them to eat, right?" Scout smiled bitterly.

"Yeah, this is a problem..."

Song Ya understands that Wal-Mart is motivated to do this, but if the cost-effectiveness is not cost-effective, with their energy, it is better to grab food in the original quota pool, but small businesses like A+ Apparel are not so. Good treatment, "How much is it beneficial for us to expand the quota?"

"Two percent of the current quota will do."

"Can we eat it?"

"If we have energy to control the quota, why can't we eat it? You are a billionaire boss, how many billionaires does the United States have?"

"It's also..." Song Ya nodded and agreed with Scout's words. The billionaire shouldn't be ashamed to ask a politician for help. If he could say otherwise, he immediately called Ogilvy.

Underwood, who sits in Washington, quickly heard the wind, "Doug, do you know about the textile and clothing agreement next year? Regarding the quota..." The assistant who likes to hide in the dark called and Song Ya had no choice but to take the initiative Asked him, and then went to see Underwood's wife who was staying in Chicago.

"How is your movie? I heard that the box office performance this week is average?" Claire is used to talking about other things first.

"Ranked seventh, I'm very satisfied, Jim Carrey is too popular."

Song Ya replied.

Jim Carrey is red and purple. His acting style is very appetizing to American audiences. To put it in exaggeration, the audience in the cinema can't help laughing when his facial muscles move. This year he starred in three plays in a year. , All of them are at the box office alone, and the two currently released are very popular, and the cost of comedy films is not too high. So now various Hollywood film companies are brandishing film contracts, begging him to take over the role, and he has only selected Warner's new superhero blockbuster Batman series "Batman Forever", starred in the villain, the riddler.

The disguised geek unsurprisingly drove Forrest Gump from the No. 1 box office in the first week. In addition, this week there is also the allure story starring Nicholas Cage. Both the box office and lineup of my life have fallen. The score of about 9 million ends this week's screening.

Of course, baseball angels are still suppressed after struggling. The current rankings are Geek in Disguise, Forrest Gump, True Lies, Client, The Lion King, Allure, Dancing My Life, Baseball Angel.

Although the summer file was **** but delicious, it had a bottom line at the box office. Except for the slight noises made by the film critics, all the film media believed that his first "electric shock" had been a big success.

And this kind of pure commercial film for young people is the least need to deal with professional film critics. Instead of spending big public relations, they might as well advertise.

"So you want to increase China's textile quota by another 5%?"

The two chatted for a while, Claire asked.

"Yes, my clothing brand sold very well this year, and professional managers want to do a big job next year." Song Ya replied.

"The total value of this quota is fixed. If you have more, there will be fewer others. There are different... powerful people are involved." Claire said.

Song Ya shrugged, "I'm going to try anyway, my company will never be out of stock next year. Next year will be 1995..."

"I understand."

96 is the election year again, Claire smiled, and neither of them talked about her philanthropy. Now the two sides have a tacit understanding.

However, it is not impossible for the Elephant Party to participate in this matter. The Elephant Party in the cotton-producing areas is a potential ally, and the United States has no textile manufacturing industry. The main enemy is importers from other regions such as Latin America and Southeast Asia and the country of origin in Washington. The lobbying forces, such as Wal-Mart in the past, fortunately, Wal-Mart has begun to turn back.

"Gore received your one million donation in 1992, he will help, right?" Goodman asked during the meeting.

"It's the Underwood couple. They like to take my business and sell points everywhere." Song Ya smiled bitterly, "Gore and I have never been able to establish a more intimate and direct contact."

"Perhaps this is the most comfortable for Gore. He has recently been targeting billionaires who act aggressively, such as Perelman and John Malone." Goodman said.

"The results were minimal, maybe he didn't really plan to treat those business tycoons at all." Song Ya complained.

"The Elephant Party, what are you going to do?" Goodman asked.

"Senator McKean of Arizona, he's almost done." Song Ya replied, "The others are like Wal-Mart."

"Continue to find John Liu as a middleman?"

"No, McEn and Cheney and others who John Liu serve have a very ordinary relationship. I don't know the specific reason, but John Liu cannot help."

"I heard that this McKenn was almost ruined by the bribery charges, and recently formed a faint cross-party coalition in the Senate. This kind of person is very dangerous, and it is dangerous for him to maintain his position~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The guys who dare to act like this must also be particularly harsh." Goodman reminded with some worry.

"Yes, so Ogilvy didn't plan to come out in person. They hired a good guy from Washington Political Public Relations, a woman named Sloan."

"Female lobbyist? You don't plan to see her, are you?"

"I have to hide myself a little bit deeper. This is not something I can handle in a short while."

After starting the quota issue, Song Ya started his promotion in several big cities in the United States where black people live. Next week, Universal's own little mischief will start painting. The theater resources that dance my life will once again be steep. Descending, his main goal now is to consolidate the movie-watching groups near the black and Asian communities before moving to the long-term screening, so that the theater owners who participate in the long-term screening can feel at ease.

"Mr. ALPLUS, I heard that several art schools in Chicago are competing for the school prototype in your movie? Can you reveal which school your inspiration came from?"

At the Baltimore Airport, a reporter asked that because of the influence of my life, the number of applicants in several art colleges in Chicago increased sharply in the fall, and the Art Institute of Chicago had to come out to clarify that his family did not have a dance major, and DePaul The two major beneficiaries of the University Lincoln Park and Columbia College with related majors reacted exactly the opposite. In order to compete for the source of students, they fought each other over who was the prototype school for film.

This unexpected situation made Song Ya himself dumbfounded, and the social influence of the film is evident, "I have never attended art school, and of course it will certainly not be the University of Chicago I attended."

The answer caused the reporters to laugh, "I know Baltimore has the Maryland Institute of the Arts." Song Ya went on to say, anyway, the original film clearly placed the prototype at the Maryland Institute of the Arts. "Maybe the story I wrote happened in Baltimore?"
