Chapter 1365 (1/2)
New Jersey, April 4, 2000.
”Ha! Aplus, what? Is the conversation going well over there? ”
Bradley, who announced his retirement the day before yesterday, has just returned to his hometown. According to his retirement speech, he should go on vacation with his wife and children to relax, but he still took time to meet Songya before he left.
”Not bad? I feel like the negotiations are coming to an end, Senator
Song Ya replied that he took the path of good brother Jordan when he met Bradley this time. Former Chicago Bulls meritorious coach Phil Jackson is Bradley's former teammate and iron rod. This year's primary, Jordan and other NBA stars followed Phil Jackson to wave the flag and shout for Bradley, working very hard.
”That's good.”
Former NBA Hall of Fame star Bradley is 1.96 meters tall. Two tall and burly men shake hands in the crowd of their respective entourage. Bradley deliberately works hard in secret, which is a strong opponent. Song Ya's hands are pinched on both sides.
”Ha ha ha... Please sit down.”
They parted laughing, and Bradley asked David Falk, Jordan's agent who led Sonya, ”I heard Michael is leaving Chicago?”
”Yes, we are looking for a team that will accept us
Being cheated and humiliated by the boss, Jordan can no longer stay in Chicago. David Falk smiles and explores: ”does the New Jersey Nets have a chance?”
”I'll ask for you when they finish the regular season.”
Bradley knows the NBA very well. This year, the nets are in a bad situation and probably won't make it into the playoffs.
This is song Ya's first close contact with this senator. As one of the 100 senators of the United States who have been in office for six years, some senators speak and do things very directly, even almost without scruples. For example, John Warner, the former Navy Secretary who helped in the textile quota, and Bradley's style is similar.
This kind of people like to listen to compliments. After polite greetings, song Ya sits down, raises his right hand, pushes his palm outward, and repeats the speech when the other Party announced his withdrawal in a lyrical tone: ”when a country is at the most critical crossroads, it needs a strong heart to grasp the direction, You've made a great speech, Mr. senator. I've only heard it once and I'll remember it. I really think you deserve the driver's seat as well. ”
”Ha ha ha!”
Bradley and the rest of the office laughed again. ”Forget it, aplus, the election is over for me.”
The biggest threat and trouble to Al Gore in this primary election has always been him. Without Peter's interference, he may lose a lot after he loses. But it is because of Peter who attracts hatred that his previous move of withdrawing from the primary election should get a lot of benefits and promises from Al Gore and the donkey party. The media and the donkey party all praise his behavior of knowing current affairs.
So Bradley is in the right mood right now, and he has more political capital to exert extreme pressure. ”Will Peter flock stick to it until June? Or August? I admire his courage. Unlike me, he became a deserter
June is the time for the primary debate, and August is the time for the donkey Party's National Congress and super delegates to vote for the official election candidate. Bradley certainly knows what Peter wants to do.
”I'm not sure.”
Songya didn't want the topic to be brought to Peter, and replied, ”Mr. governor should have his own consideration.”
”OK, then we won't talk much nonsense, aplus.”
Bradley asked: ”First Bank of New Jersey told me that you still have differences on the specific content of the acquisition agreement?”
At this time, his fingers crossed in front of him, his butt against the desk, Sonya sitting near the end of his sofa, next to David Falk, and then in the past, Ms. Sloan and O'Grady of Northern Trust and cna insurance, other entourage of both sides sitting or standing in the room.
”Yes.” Sonya looks at Sloan.
”The people of the first bank want to sell shares without voting rights. We can't accept this condition at all. Senator Bradley, we had no doubt about it in the previous negotiations.” Ms. Sloan said.
”Why? What has changed? ” Bradley knew it.
After he withdrew from the election, there was no drag, and he would not submit as before, so the first bank of New Jersey also went back.
Of course, it is not easy for us to point out the facts. Sloan shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he did not know.
”So are you willing to give in to this condition, aplus?” Bradley looks at Sonya.
How can it be that a quagmire like inner-city broadcasting company, without voting rights, has no board seats. If it invests 120 million yuan, it will be burned. ”This is not a small number, Mr. senator.” Song Ya shook his head sincerely.
”Of course, I understand.” Bradley nodded and then stopped talking.
”Some of the shareholders of the first bank are willing to agree to our terms, and there seems to be differences within them.” Said Sloan.
Just like the inner city broadcasting corporation, the share structure of New Jersey first bank is very complicated. Some individual small shareholders of course are eager to accept life-saving money. However, the shareholders who can be influenced by the local politicians in New Jersey, such as the institutions, the government's shares in the early years through assistance, various charities and other funds, will listen to Bradley when the King returns, rather than give priority to the interests of the company, So I went back.
”Oh?”
Bradley's smile faded, and he looked at Songya with great significance. ”You know, aplus, I can't help much in this matter. I don't want to be criticized by the outside world for interfering with the business of private companies.”
It's all Peter's fault. Until now, I had to face Bradley's revenge when I lost my chips to use Bradley's painful feet to threaten little Daley.
”How about we reduce the amount of investment and just start a new investment bank project with the first bank?”
But he has no interest in New Jersey. What can Bradley do to one of the world's top 100 rich people in the final analysis? Song Ya offered a new price, and both sides took a step back to meet each other in the future?
”They should not agree.” Bradley made the decision directly. ”They need your 120 million lives. It doesn't mean much to them to keep up with the fashion and build a new stall.”
