Like Barnes Sr., the former vice president of Dow also began his retirement after being resigned "for personal health reasons", he bought a farm in Michigan next door, funded some educational and artistic projects, and most of his pleasure was to participate in various social activities for the elderly like an amateur choir, and his heart problems were improved by the intense work away from the "old-school capitalist tradition", which was much more enjoyable than the old Barn Sr. who had been huddled in a country club all day.

He didn't anger himself like the old Barn, the expansion scale of the glowstick market was in line with his expectations when he decided to buy the Barnes fluorescent agent factory at a high price, but Dow had never competed with his peers, and he couldn't blame others.

His amateur choir is made up of wealthy people who fund the symphony center, not all of them from Chicago, and he is not, except for him, Song Ya has not dealt with most of these white old men and women, probably because he has risen too fast, and many of them have already begun to retire.

Of course, he had little to do in the Barnes case, and the special counsel would not have implicated Dow.

In short, after spending the first few days of jerkiness, Song Ya and the band and choir are getting better and better, with Barenboy taking care of her, and perhaps because her hard work and professional performance have been recognized by the musicians? Don't be late, don't leave early, be the first to come, the last to go, and listen to the rehearsal recordings at home at night, make summaries, direct notes, and go all out.

"Whew!"

In the blink of an eye, it was early Saturday morning, and Song Ya, who had just turned off the Latin motor, put on her pajamas, gasped and went upstairs alone, walked into the small recording studio at home in Highland Park, and gently closed the door.

“Baba yetu yetu……”

He only had this song in his mind now, he didn't turn on the lights, he hummed and walked over to open the blinds, but when his hand was raised, he stayed in mid-air, took a deep breath in the faint white morning light that came through the gaps in the leaves, then closed his eyes, raised his right hand high, opened his five fingers, and a standard and just right smile bloomed on his face, first took a few steps in the dark recording studio, and then suddenly stood still, and bowed deeply very neatly.

The audience in the concert hall seemed to be applauding enthusiastically.

Straightening up and continuing to walk, still smiling, he reached out and shook the air, the object was a South African singer, so it would be more affectionate to slap his left hand on the other person's arm at the same time, well, that's it......

After that, it was a close kiss with Leah Saronga, his right hand wrapped around the other party's waist, and he quickly pecked his head very gentlemanly, no, Leah Salonga is very short, and it seems that she still needs to tiptoe enough to stand on top when she sings the 10th anniversary version of the world version of Epenny, so her upper body leans forward slightly to adjust the height.

The next one is the chief handle, I don't know if I will stand up or continue to sit, he has prepared two handshake plans, if the other party is still sitting, he will reach out to reach for it.

Finally standing behind the command frame, he bowed to the audience again before turning around, a little longer than the last time, and stood up after a few seconds of silence.

I used my pajamas as a tuxedo, arranged my collar, arranged my hands, and then 'picked up' the baton in a very artistic way.

"That's right......"

He opened his eyes, trotted to open the rehearsal recording, then came back with his hands up and dropped his baton a split second before the music began.

'Woo, woo, woo......'

Shakira's aria came out of Lea Salonga, he closed his eyes again, his left hand gestured to the violin part, his chin slightly raised in the direction of the bell and the shaker, and smiled intoxicated when he heard the accurate feedback from the recording, and his forehead tapped.

In the dark, he entertained himself with a one-man show, trying to make every finger movement as precise as a surgeon's surgery, and as graceful as possible.

"Huh?"

There seemed to be a small flaw that he didn't find during the rehearsal, and when the 'conductor' was halfway through, he frowned, went to replay the recording, and confirmed it, but it was not a flaw, but it was a little slightly different from the original song of the Apocalypse in his mind, and he picked up a pen to write notes, and made a mark in front of the corresponding passage in the conductor's score, and then adjusted it during the rehearsal on Monday.

"Daddy! Mommy is calling you for breakfast! ”

Little Robb knocked on the door outside, shouting in a milky voice.

"Wait a minute." He opened the door and went back to work, and little Robb was running around his legs, muttering the sound of a train.

The child is growing up so fast, it's time to send it to preschool, he looked down at his eldest son and thought silently.

"Mr. Song."

A few minutes later, Xue Linfen came up with little Jon in her arms.

"Okay, okay, come right away."

Locking all the documents in the safe, he also picked up little Robb and rode him around his neck, and the family of four went downstairs neatly.

No, it's five, and Xue Linfen has another one in her stomach.

Ms. Sloan and Goodman are already at the table and will be on their way to New York today.

"Ovitz registered a real estate company on Long Island during this time, and he also went to Maine to see the farm he planned to buy, and the negotiations with Littman were basically handed over to his subordinates."

Sloane, who had returned from New York, complained as he handed over some papers.

"Hmm."

Song Ya took a sandwich and bit it in his mouth, and roughly flipped through the documents, "So I'm going to sign a memorandum of acquisition with Litman this weekend, right?" ”

"Yes, Ovitz didn't do anything to help us, only to push the purchase price down symbolically...... Eighty-five million. ”

Sloan pointed to the number of zeros in the document and said, "His men didn't take advantage of the treacherous situation that Littman found himself in. ”

"It's too late for APLUS to regret it, and we can make it clear to Littman that he and Ovitz didn't talk about anything."

Goodman proposed: "Losing some money but buying us some time also makes Littleman understand that he has been completely cornered." ”

"That old thing, call me."

Song Adam immediately called Ovitz to ask.

"APLUS, time is the most precious for the acquisition, you need Littleman's publishing house and media, so is it cost-effective to delay another month with him for one or two million I think you also have an account in your heart, this business has been delayed for a long time, do you know how John Malone of TCI did it? On average, it takes seven days to complete an acquisition, and then let the money continue to roll, and the more it rolls, the bigger it gets......"

Ovitz responded.

"I'm not John Malone, and I can't afford that kind of brutal expansion model of leveraged buyouts right now, I just want to get Littleman's publishing house and those print media ...... as cheaply as possible."

Song Ya said that at the same time, she noticed that little Robb was eating and playing with milk all over her chin, so she picked up a napkin to help her son wipe his mouth.

Shakira, who had just poked her head out of the second floor with a smile, saw this scene, she wrapped her pajamas tightly in some disappointment, gave up saying hello, and walked back to the bedroom alone.

had a long talk with Ovitz, and in the end Song Ya was convinced, Ovitz is very good at persuading, and the educational film promotion plan inspired by the girl next door in the Apocalypse movie really can't be delayed any longer, because he wants Xiao Lizi to star, and the premise of getting the other party's head contract is to negotiate with Fox about the funding of the Titanic.

Getting Littleman before meeting with media mogul Murdoch is conducive to creating the most pressure on Fox Films.

One ring after another, the time cannot be wrong.

So this weekend, I will go to New York to sign the 85 million acquisition memorandum, the highest single investment I have ever made.

"Go and call Shakira." After breakfast, he whispered in Sloane's ear.

Estéphen seems to have forgotten about his own artists, so it's still the same, take it with him.
