Chicago 1990

Chapter 516: About opportunity

It was too stupid to make this choice at this time, at least Song Ya's instinct was so.

Either settle down earlier. MJ should have been upset early last year. Otherwise, he won’t change his attitude to accept Oprah’s interview, and put aside the contradiction over the inferior and noble head of the Grammy jury just to get a legendary award. Last May His men formally contacted the plaintiff dentist Evan Chandler. At the time, Motura, who was still in the position of president, also frequently went to Dream Manor for meetings. At that time, he had countless opportunities to agree to reconciliation.

According to the news, Evan Chandler offered a price of 20 million dollars and was quickly counter-offered to 15 million, but the psychological price should be much lower than this. Even after Evan Chandler announced that he was about to initiate a civil lawsuit, he did not immediately take action. Instead, he gave MJ a ten-day window period, and it was still not difficult to make a deal less than 20 million.

At that time, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneden hadn’t made a high-profile jump, and the District Attorney Gilgahiti in Los Angeles had a more moderate attitude. Since he has missed the last opportunity, he should not think about it. Reconciled, make a gesture, and drag the civil lawsuit indefinitely like the Barn fluorescent agent case. It is in MJ's interest to drag it until the plaintiff is satisfied.

Now, MJ has to pay the plaintiff 23 million yuan, more than what the other party requested before. Five million of them belonged to the vulture lawyers headed by former Los Angeles Bar Association President Feldman, Evan Chandler and his wife 1.5 million each, and "victim" Jody Chandler 15 million . Since Jodi’s mother is a fan of MJ, she sent her son to Dreamland. After the incident broke out, she insisted on believing in MJ, and then changed her mind. Therefore, she also lost the custody of her underage son, which was a huge payment in installments. Will all be managed by Evan Chandler.

The dentist has won a great victory.

And MJ is miserable. From 20 million to 23 million, Americans with a little legal concept will think that he was forced to settle in a desperate situation, and he is the unreasonable party, although he signed a settlement with the plaintiff. The terms of the agreement are certainly good. Evan Chandler and his son will not disclose the details of the case, but psychologically, Americans will also tend to think that MJ has really done bad things.

MJ's side said that the motive for reconciliation is based on three considerations, MJ's physical reasons, and his desire to get rid of trouble and work as soon as possible, and he does not want the media to consume himself.

These are very pale. MJ's physical condition does look really bad, but the global tour has been suspended, many advertising endorsements have been terminated, and criminal charges are still in place. How can I resume work? The huge sum of 23 million dollars in the United States, where money worship is prevalent, is itself a hot topic. The tabloid carnival is still there, and the enthusiasm cannot be subdued. How can you not be consumed by the media?

"How could this happen? MJ was in a very good situation."

Song Ya couldn't understand.

The district attorney who was tough on MJ's physical examination, Tom Sneden, received the results of the examination, but his speech was not as strong as before, indicating that Jody Chandler's description of MJ's private parts may indeed have problems. The recent hearing Sure enough, I think the evidence is insufficient. The maintenance of Elvis’ daughter helped MJ regain a lot of people’s trust. The child protection bill has been signed by the chief, and politically this case has lost its value...

"Even if MJ does it, the civil settlement cannot be exonerated. The criminal investigation in the hands of the two district attorneys continues. According to California law, refusing to testify in the criminal trial after receiving the civil settlement payment may be judged as Isn't it accepting bribes? That's a felony, right?" He called Goodman.

"Negative testimony is enough. There are always ambiguities. At this time, the civil settlement shows that the MJ party wants to quickly resolve the criminal suspects. The key witnesses of the case accept the civil settlement. The pressure on the prosecution will suddenly increase, which will force Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The two places in La County must speed up the progress and decide whether to submit a formal prosecution."

Goodman analyzed it from a professional point of view, "Tom Sneden has the support of other voters in the jurisdiction of Dream Manor. The poll data is very beautiful. Even for re-election, he will not let MJ go. The next election is At the end of this year, the MJ side certainly could not accept Tom Sneden’s brutal criminal investigative methods to continue throughout 1994, so for him, the biggest enemy and source of danger has changed from Evan Chandler to Thomas. Naden. The appearance of this man is definitely an accident, including his colleagues, Gilgahiti in Los Angeles should not have expected it, otherwise his attitude would not change from being gentle to being tough."

"I understand……"

Song Ya's doubts were answered, "Unfortunately, the dentist is cheaper." He said, "Other people will be surrounded like flies after seeing the'model'."

"Think about the Rodney King case. Sometimes it doesn't matter who owns justice," Goodman said.

"Indeed." Song Ya sighed.

"You have to be careful too."

Goodman exhorted, "Oh, yes, there is something to tell you here in Chicago. Peter Flock has just succeeded in his appeal. After he was released from prison, he immediately announced that he would participate in the Illinois attorney election at the end of the year."

"is it?"

That guy really turned over from prison. Of course, it’s only halfway through now. Song Ya, who has seen his prostitute news, couldn’t help but be surprised, “You draw a suitable figure and give it to him from my WhereIsTheLove personal income account. Donate to the campaign committee."

"Okay, with that money, he can afford Eli again." Goodman joked.

"Ilay is very good and will help him a lot." Song Ya is very satisfied with his crisis public relations. The key is that it is not expensive, compared to large companies such as Ogilvy Advertising, which signed a contract with A+ Apparel.

"Indeed, uh..." Goodman hesitated.

"Is there anything else?" Song Ya asked.

"Do you know that Fergie and Jimmy have terminated their contract?" Goodman asked.

"I know, Fergie signed CAA. One of the co-agents is Pai Kingsley, the agent of Jingtang. Although she will not be Fergie's main agent, but really, Jimmy is competing at that level. There is no competitiveness in front of the opponent."

Song Ya replied: "Even Donovan in Hollywood is far less resourceful than Kingsley."

"Jimmy is back looking for me..." Goodman said helplessly.

"Jimmy made a lot of money from Fergie? Still come to rub your house to live?" Song Ya smiled.

"He is very depressed, you know, my poor brother has a lot of enthusiasm for the work of an agent, and he will quarrel with you for his client. He is a little unable to face this fact now... he is too naive, I think that as long as you treat your employers wholeheartedly, you must be treated equally." Goodman said.

"Hey..." Song Ya smiled, he knew what Goodman was talking about, "Is Jimmy by your side? Now. Let me talk to him?"

"He's next door, you wait."

After a while, the microphone was called to Jimmy's hand.

"Hey, Jimmy."

"Hello Mr. APLUS, I... uh, I..." Jimmy's voice was very depressed, he didn't know what to say.

"Clean up your mood, I'll give you another task."

Although he was offended by him, Song Ya didn't hate him, and didn't waste his tongue to comfort him, "You haven't lost your qualifications and knowledge as a lawyer?"

"No...no Mr. APLUS. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"In this way, go to A+ Records to find Andrew and Henry, and let them take you to Silicon Valley to meet someone, Mark Anderson. I will let Linda fax you his personal information."

The two tech houses under his staff found out where Mark Anderson was. This guy who has received much attention from the industry found a job in a technology company and settled down, he began to keep in touch with the chasers of all parties, including himself, but he just left the ground and waited for the price. But Gu is very slippery and does not keep his hands.

Song Ya introduced this situation to Jimmy, "If you are briefly familiar with the situation of the technology and investment industry, go to him and talk to him, hurry up, I want to participate in the pre-venture investment of his web browser project. , The best is the angel wheel."

"Ok... OK, I will work hard." Jimmy replied.

"Efforts are not enough Jimmy, you have to be smart, as I said, this Mark Anderson is very cunning, there are many stronger competitors than me, you have to do your best, and even wander in the law and Only by dealing with the edge of morality can he succeed."

Song Ya said: "You are too honest, don't be so honest, Jimmy, or you will often suffer."

"I will, I will accept the lesson, and work hard to complete what you told Mr. APLUS." Jimmy thanked him sincerely, "Thank you for giving me another chance."

"It's not my business, that's your business Jimmy, you are doing things for yourself, and if the result is not satisfactory to me, there will be no second time. No, the third chance. You helped Fergie offend me. Once, I was a very small-minded person and didn't like raising idlers."

After Song Ya beat him, he gave him another sweet date, "On the contrary, if you help me win this investment opportunity, I will let you follow up and manage some of my other scattered investments, and work hard."

"Don't worry, Mr. APLUS."
