Song Ya didn't want to risk being criticized by the outside for letting a Chinese and a white woman, especially a white woman such as the wife of the Governor of Illinois, intervene in a purely African company.
"No problem, it's not in the 1950s anymore. Your original intention is different from that of your ancestors. The Suttons and other executives will understand and help you keep it secret."
Before the introduction of racial discrimination policies in the 1960s, the laws of some states in the United States directly stipulated which businesses blacks could not intervene, such as banking and real estate. At that time, two African American businessmen had to hire a white blue-collar worker to help them negotiate business and Signing the contract, both of them are very rich, but they have to disguise themselves as the butler and driver of the white man without a name. This is also considered humiliating.
"That's right." Dingkins asked: "Have you joined the Brotherhood at the University of Chicago?"
"Brotherhood? No, I never live in school, and I never participate in social activities in school."
U.S. University has a strong tradition of brotherhoods and sisterhoods. There are many different brotherhoods. Some elite clubs have high entry barriers, high energy, and wide contacts after graduation. Some are more Buddhist and have less contact after graduation. Personal wishes can basically be frugal, and it is considered a social activity that everyone needs to participate in. The only difference is between good and bad in the fraternity. There is no one who does not try to go.
Of course, a celebrity like himself has almost received invitations from all fraternities, but he declined all the invitations, because it is said that almost all fraternities have the bad habit of bullying newcomers, especially in the initiation ceremony, seniors will design all kinds of insulting so-called The test of membership is to screen out those who join in sincerely, and there are often bullying scandals.
"Oh, that won't work." Dingkins asked, "Is there any boy who doesn't join the Brotherhood."
"I planned to consider this after passing all the core courses. The elimination rate of the University of Chicago is quite high~www.mtlnovel.com~ I don't want to be distracted for the time being. You know, I can spend too little time on my studies. "
Song Ya also knows that there are some powerful brotherhoods all over the country. Joining will have a lot of benefits for future contacts, but isn't he a billionaire now? The so-called contacts do not join any fraternity. In addition, the University of Chicago has more students who just concentrate on studying, and the tradition in this area has not been as strong as those of the Ivy League schools. He used this excuse to try a hundred spirits.
And joining the brotherhood generally represents what kind of political inclinations he has. This matter needs to be carefully considered and figured out.
"That won't work, how about joining my brotherhood? OmegaPsiPhi, we have a branch at the University of Chicago." Dingkins asked, "Have you heard of it?"
"of course."
OmegaPsiPhi was founded in Howard University where Dingkins was studying. It only accepts African Americans. Michelle’s husband seems to be a member. In addition to Dingkins, there are celebrities such as Jesse Jackson and Michael Jordan.
"Then join us, I call Chicago over there?"
Dingkins can't wait to get things done right away.
"Uh, all right, you hit it."
Song Ya turned to think about that she actually didn't have many choices. After all, it was not suitable to join a white brotherhood. There were too few reliable associations for blacks. "But I don't have time to participate in club activities, especially the initiation ceremony of any ghost." Remind each other specifically.
"Don't worry, as long as you can help out some money for the party of the University of Chicago branch boys, you are the local boss." Dingkins dialed happily.
Chicago 1990 Chapter 753: ?Infiltrate the inner city
The conditions for the capital injection of the Inner City Broadcasting Company have been negotiated at the beginning of the month. Dingkins and the others have been worried that they will change their minds. They seem to be suffering for a few days. Today is finally waiting for the official signing date, plus they are very face-saving on the spot. After joining the OmegaPsiPhi Brotherhood, the old man was so happy that he couldn't help himself.
"Mr. Sutton, Pierre, Dorothy..."
In the afternoon, he appeared in the large conference room with Dingkins on time. The seven members of the Inner City Broadcasting Company's board of directors were present, plus his own four seats, exactly eleven seats.
Among them, Passy Sutton has a seat as chairman, former New York Mayor Dingkins has a seat, Dorothy, the first African-American female TV station owner, and a foundation agent for Federal Representative Wrangell. One seat is the agent of New York State Comptroller Herman McCall, and one is the representative of the American Jazz Foundation. The director is Billy Taylor, a famous old jazz educator and New York media person, and several charities and rights foundations. One seat for joint representatives and one seat for company union representatives. All six seats belong to the black donkey party.
The remaining seat belongs to the New York City Hall, represented by a black elephant party.
"Billy Taylor and Russell Simmons have a close relationship, and the African-American director representing the New York City Council is an opponent of all issues. Other neutrals. Dorothy's TV station has your A+CN capital injection. Not surprisingly, she and Ding Jin Sis will support you, and Rangel. If you hold these three votes, you may be able to add a vote from Herman Rankauer, and you will definitely win if you re-elect the chairman at the end of the year."
Although the issue of capital injection was mentioned before my wedding, and the people who should know after a few months have already known it, both parties in the transaction did not want to be too high-profile. No reporters or outsiders were invited to sign the capital injection, except for the Manhattan Gang. With the representatives of these directors, the rest is the general manager of various radio and television stations under the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation.
The relevant personnel present at Song Ya are Alicia who is responsible for the legal affairs of the capital injection case, Samuel of accounting affairs, Dr. Chen from A+ Ventures, assistant Linda, and the legal affairs of A+ copyright and asset management company Goode who is responsible for the money. Man.
Of course, political adviser Sloan is indispensable. She dutifully introduced in Song Ya's ear: "Passy Sutton will not resist herself, provided that Pierre Sutton will continue to manage the company as the general manager until the end of 1999. That's it."
"Well, good job, Ms. Sloan."
Song Ya complimented him. Sitting at the center of the conference table, Alicia on the left handed over the signing documents blankly. This woman is very clear between public and private, and it is completely impossible to resemble the previous Mariah Carey. What kind of fun to play like that quietly hook your feet under the table.
"Thank you, Alicia."
Song Ya took the document and looked at it personally. The 28 million capital injection is no problem, and 32% of the shares are no problem. The rest of the relevant powers such as splitting, selling, or shutting down have all the powers, but not full power. Yes, whether it is Dingkins, Wrangel, or the Sutton family, it is absolutely impossible for oneself to mess with their core radio station or branches with political commissions.
"Well, no problem..."
