America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 267 I can protect him

I heard the boss said that he could get Britney Spears to come to DreamWorks Music.

David Geffen and Robert were both a little surprised.

At this time, Britney's popularity even caught up with Michael Jackson at his peak.

With Sony's strong support, her suitable personality, and the fact that even middle-aged and elderly white men are pursuing her.

At this time, Xiao Tiantian was at the most popular time in her life.

But behind the infinite brilliance, there was an abyss so deep that she would never be able to climb out of it.

Everyone only knows that Britney is the most popular now, even more popular than last year.

All the music company bosses want her, and she is now a guarantee of record sales and concert tickets.

If only I could get Britney Spears.

David Geffen, the head of DreamWorks Music, is of course very happy.

"Abel. If Britney can join, of course it would be the best." David Geffen said:

"In addition, as far as I know, Britney Spears' contract with Jive Records is about to expire at the end of the year. I heard that Sony Music executives are negotiating with her to renew the contract. But Spears's offer The offer is too high and Sony is still hesitating.”

Robert wondered how Abel got Britney Spears over.

Of course, if you spend all your money.

Not to mention Britney Spears, even Michael Jackson can be poached.

Who would have trouble getting along with the fragrant dollar bills?

"Don't worry about these things for now." Abel said with a smile.

"Britney Spears I'm going to try and figure it out."

"I will also have people contact Michael Jackson."

Abel said: "I don't guarantee success. You guys have to work hard too, especially you, David. I know you want to be the boss of a newspaper."

Abel gave David Geffen a promise that was not a promise.

"If you can help me really make DreamWorks Music a reality. Not to mention comparable to the three giants, at least to be on par with BMG."

"If it can be done to this extent, then I will help you buy the Los Angeles Times or the New York Times, and let you become a newspaper owner. How about it?"

David Geffen smiled bitterly:

"It's not going to be easy. But I'm going to try. The New York Times is a little tough, but I think the Los Angeles Times is good. We agreed."

Abel raised his hand, "Let's high-five."

David Geffen high-fived him and believed Abel's promise.

The result of the three people's deliberations.

It was Abel who used his methods and means to dig out as many as he could.

David Geffen continues to run DreamWorks Music, trying to see if he can discover new young singers.

The more good prospects like Avril Lavigne, the better.

As for Robert Egger.

Music is not Mickey Mouse's strong point. As president of MGM Entertainment, and the first CEO of Smith Media.

Robert's task is to do a good job in David Geffen's logistics and ensure that DreamWorks' operations and supporting resources can keep up.

Robert and David Geffen both have jobs.

After discussing it, Abel let them go about their business.

Wait for the two people to leave.

Abel called Edward and David Jones in.

“How is Jamie Spears doing?”

Abel was asking about David Jones.

David replied:

"In April this year, Jamie Spears failed in business again and applied for a bankruptcy order in Manhattan Court, New York. It has not yet been approved."

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Abel smiled and said: "Where is Lynne Spears?"

"She's with Jamie Spears." David replied. "This lady is bankrupt and she has to take refuge in her husband. But her husband is also currently unable to protect himself."

"Well done." Abel praised David.

Lynne Spears is Britney Spears' mother.

Jamie Spears is Britney's father.

At the end of last year, Abe met Britney in the backstage corridor of Esa's Christmas Eve show.

He casually told David to do something.

These things include, but are not limited to, leading Lynn and Jamie into certain investment scams, leaving them penniless while starting a business and losing money.

A wide range of resources are available at Abel.

For example, financial resources on Wall Street.

Let Lincoln obtain the gang resources through dollar bills and the IRS.

And with the help of some media resources of Smith Media.

David arranged these little things very well.

Lynne and Jamie, who came from middle-class backgrounds, didn't know they were being targeted by a giant crocodile.

Eventually it became what it is now.

"Then let them contact Britney. The time has come." Abel said.

"Got it." David smiled.

"Edward. Ask Lincoln to help David." Abel ordered Edward again.

Edward nodded.

After receiving the order, the number one bodyguard and number one glove left one after another to do their work.

Abel took out his cell phone and searched for a while to find Ikana's father's phone number.

A phone call is made.

"Hey Ted, good afternoon."

"Hey, I knew something good would happen today. When I went out in the morning, I picked up a penny."

D. Ted Lerner's iconic hearty voice sounded from the microphone.

One of New York's real estate tycoons.

Since his daughter met Abel last year, it can be said that she has had a happy life in the past year.

The most obvious change is that the Wall Street banks that used to have a bad attitude towards D. Ted Lerner have a much better attitude towards the real estate tycoon.

At least when he applies for a loan from these banks, he can get a lower interest rate, and the review process will be faster than before.

Ted's daughter is now one of the most influential people in New York. On the other hand, this also gave him a great help as an old father.

In terms of practical benefits, D. Ted Lerner also launched some cooperation with AMC TV this year.

Bought a lot of private placements from Smith Capital.

In addition, this year is the year when the real estate bubble began in the United States, and the real estate market is booming.

There's good news all around for D. Ted Lerner.

All these changes came from the owner of the phone call D. Ted Lerner answered at this time.

As a smart and pure businessman.

D. Ted Lerner naturally knows what attitude he should use to treat his daughter's mistress.

As for Abel, he never knew what it meant to be polite to his cheap father-in-law.

He didn’t even exchange greetings with D. Ted Lerner. After the opening remarks, he said directly to D. Ted Lerner:

"Dear Ted, I need you to do me a favor."

"Hmm? Are you sure I can help you with something that can make you talk?"

D. Ted Lerner said there that Lao Pu is self-aware.

"Other things may be difficult. But this thing may be easier for you. I even think that only you can do this thing." Abel said.

“It’s not about the Hudson’s Bay Plaza, is it?”

D. Ted Lerner heard from his daughter about Abel's obsession with this poor place.

"no."

Of course not. At this time, D. Ted Lerner, Abel knew that he did not have the strength yet.

"It's a Michael Jackson thing."

"What's wrong with Michael? What happened to him?" D. Ted Lerner suddenly asked with concern.

Abel could tell that D. Ted Lerner really cared about Michael Jackson.

Abel smiled and said:

"Nothing happened to Michael. But he's not doing well either. He's in a lawsuit and Sony has been hacking him."

"Madefak." D. Ted Lerner cursed unceremoniously.

"Those neon dwarfs, Michael made them so much money and they're not satisfied yet!"

"That's right." Abel smiled:

"I think so too. But here's an opportunity to save your best friend from the fire. Dear Ted, would you like to help Michael Jackson?"

"What kind of opportunity?" D. Ted Lerner was not stupid, the old man asked cautiously.

"Let Michael Jackson come work in my music company." Abel said directly: "I can protect him."

D. Ted Lerner was silent on the other end of the phone.

After a few minutes, D. Ted Lerner asked over there:

"So dear Abel, what do you want from Michael?"

There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.

There is no protection without reason.

For capitalist D. Ted Lerner, everything has a price.

It's just that the cost is different.

"It's very simple. 50% of Sony/ATV's shares were sold to me at normal market prices. In addition, Michael Jackson became a signed singer with DreamWorks Music," Abel said.

When it comes to Michael Jackson, D. Ted Lerner seems to be a lot more cautious.

After a few seconds of silence, Ikana's old father said:

"If that's the case, it's no different from Sony, right? I think MJ might not agree."

"It's a huge difference," Abel said to D. Ted Lerner:

"Sony thinks he is outdated. Sony has more new singers emerging, and they have too many good singers. Even Michael Jackson is getting less and less attention."

"If MJ comes to DreamWorks Music, he will be the music emperor of DreamWorks Music. As for the salary issue. Dear Ted, do you still think I am not generous enough?"

It may have been Abel's last words that moved D. Ted Lerner.

Or maybe it's simply D. Ted Lerner, who can't discredit Abel.

There could be other reasons as well.

D. Ted Lerner agreed.

"I will find an opportunity to talk to Michael in person. But I don't guarantee success." D. Ted Lerner said.

"Your words make me very happy. By the way, it may take a few days for Ikana to return to New York with me. Her affairs in the Bay Area will not be settled for a few days." Abel said with a smile.

D. Ted Lerner pouted on the other end of the phone.

After Ikana's affairs are settled, it's not up to you to decide whether to return to New York or not?

Tell me what to do.

Thinking this way, D. Ted Lerner and Abel hung up the phone respectively.

Regarding whether Michael Jackson can be hired to DreamWorks Music.

Abel himself couldn't guarantee it.

In his previous life, he didn't have a deep impression of MJ.

When MJ was most popular, he was still a child.

By the time he started listening to pop music, MJ had gradually faded out of the public eye.

Not long after he reached adulthood, news came that MJ had committed suicide by taking pills.

This made him not very impressed with MJ.

MJ is not Abel’s sentiment.

At this time he wants to sign MJ for two reasons.

One is that even now, Michael Jackson is still the emperor of European and American pop music.

If DreamWorks had MJ, it would immediately have the strength to compete with BMG.

To put it simply, mj can make money very well.

Secondly, before Abel was reborn, he read a few articles.

Those articles all say one thing -

The "child molestation case" that got Michael Jackson into trouble can basically be said to be a false frame-up.

Thanks to his rebirth, Abel could remember very firmly anything he had seen before his rebirth.

He remembered those articles, which contained some news about MJ's death.

Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009.

In the last moments of MJ's death, the surveillance video from his home disappeared.

After Jackson fell into a coma, his personal doctor, Murray, stopped performing CPR on Jackson midway in order to collect the medicine bottles left at the scene and failed to call emergency personnel in time.

MJ's body was dissected twice after his death. His brain and eyes were removed, his lips were torn open, the blood was drained from his body, and his hair was torn from his scalp.

On June 28, 2009, Chandler, the victim of the child molestation case fraud, revealed that his father, Ivan Chandler, made the 13-year-old lie to a psychiatrist and the police for money, saying that Jackson touched his penis, and He fabricated a series of lies about Jackson's sexual intercourse with him.

At the end of 2009, the mastermind of the child molestation case committed suicide by swallowing a gun.

On December 23, 2009, FBl announced the result of the investigation: not guilty.

On November 7, 2011, MJ's personal doctor Murray was convicted of manslaughter by the Los Angeles Superior Court and sentenced to four years in prison.

Just the memory of this aspect made Abel feel a little sympathetic to MJ.

If MJ is willing to come to DreamWorks Music, Abel doesn't mind protecting him.

The premise is that MJ is willing to make money for Abel and is willing to come and work at DreamWorks Music.

Afternoon, early evening.

Abel returned to the villa at 10410 Bellagio Road.

Abel saw where Liv Tyler was pretending to read a book yesterday.

Someone is reading again.

That’s the person who’s reading today, who switched from green tea to Cate Blanchett.

Seeing Kate here and not leaving.

Abel guessed Liv Tyler’s plan and it was probably successful.

Another employee signed on.

With this thought, Abel walked over with a smile on his face.

Different from Liv yesterday.

Abel walked over to Kate's side.

The Australian actress was still reading a book, seemingly lost in it.

"She's different from me. She really loves to read."

A playful voice sounded behind Abel.

It's Liv.

Abel turned around and saw the actor who played Princess Arwen, wearing a romantic bohemian style dress today.

The fiery red color is dazzling, the skirt is layered with hollow patterns, and the gorgeous and delicate tassels flow around her delicate ankles.

Slightly longer but full of pure temperament, the beautiful face that looks very high-end is walking towards Abel with a smile.

Liv's voice and Abel's body blocked the sunlight, and Cate Blanchett also returned to reality from the book.

"Hey." Liv came over and said to Cate Blanchett politely:

"My dear colleague. Our boss is back. We are getting to work. What is the second requirement of the second contract?"

start working?

The second requirement of the second contract

Cate Blanchett was stunned, and then remembered the contract she signed under Liv Tyler's seduction at noon today.

The contract is divided into two parts, yin and yang. The yang part is very serious and no one can find fault with it.

The benefits and compensation for Kate as an employee are just too good.

It was so good that she couldn't help but sign the contract.

The yin part, just thinking about it, makes Cate Blanchett's face heat up, and at the same time she feels a little angry in her heart.

But I finally signed it.

Thinking of this, Cate Blanchett had to put down the book in her hand.

She sat up from the sofa and came to Abel with a blushing face.

In Abel's somewhat puzzled eyes.

Kate did something amazing.

Abel:! ! !

"Please xxx"

A sound like the chirping of mosquitoes came from Cate Blanchett's mouth.

Abel couldn't hear clearly and was shocked.

What is this situation, what is the plot?

Abel looked at the extremely shy Cate Blanchett, and then at Liv Tyler.

The latter finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha~"

Half an hour later.

Abel and Cate Blanchett both figured out what was going on.

simply put.

It was under Liv's instigation, bewitchment, threats and temptations.

Cate Blanchett can't resist the temptation of "employee" treatment.

She thought she had been fooled anyway.

It was a loss that time, and it was a loss twice.

It is better to sign a short- to medium-term contract and spend three to five years in exchange for benefits for yourself.

Kate signed the contract.

But after she signed the contract, Liv took out another contract.

The content of this contract is far too much compared to the previous serious contract.

Cate Blanchett certainly didn't want to sign.

Liv immediately turned against her and threatened with the breach of contract clause of the first contract.

Cate Blanchett had no choice but to add the sunk costs.

She broke the rules and signed the second contract.

content of the second contract.

Very nothing.

This is actually just a spoof of Liv Tyler.

Cate Blanchett believed it.

Because there are far more perverted guys in Hollywood than Abel.

There are many similar things, and they are even more extreme.

Kate hasn't experienced it but has heard of it.

Not knowing that it was actually Liv who made it up, she believed it.

The result of believing it was a scene that even Abel found baffling just now.

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Sitting in Wanderno’s flagship sofa.

Abel held the Yin Contract made up by Liv in his hand and was amazed.

This Liv Tyler is so creative.

Under the watchful eyes of the two female employees, he suddenly spread out the Yin Contract and pointed it out to them——

"I think this is not bad. Maybe you can consider it as true? Will you two abide by it in the future?"
