Chapter 339
In the guest room of the Hilton Hotel, Josie, who was missed by others, was talking in a low voice with her lawyer Harvey Spector.
"The FBI's investigation on NXIVM has come to an end. There are many people secretly putting pressure on it, and Underwood can't just go his own way—not to mention he doesn't want this matter to continue." Harvey Spector whispered.
"Uh, politicians. How about Universal?" Josie was noncommittal, and the mirror mirror of her clothes reflected her almost flawless look tonight, but she lacked a Hollywood-style sparkling smile.
哈维.斯佩克特耸耸肩，回答说：“安德烈.扬在1981年和1983年分别与同样15岁的卡珊德拉.乔伊.格林、丽莎.乔森生下私生子,我的调查员已经拿到了他们的出生证明复印件。但问题在于，一来他本人当时的年龄也只有16岁和18岁,二来他的妻子妮可.扬在结婚前就对此心知肚明,以及——最重要的一点,我们真的要跟西海岸的未来嘻哈教父开战吗？”
Andre Young, or Dr. Dre, whose label DeathRow was established in the early 90s, has been affiliated with Universal Music's Interscope label for distribution, and the most classic "The Chronic" in the history of hip-hop music It is here that it was born.
Due to some unspeakable reasons, Dr. Dre left Death Row in 1996 and founded his own label Aftermath, which is still affiliated with David Geffen's stronghold - Interscope of Universal Music.
This label also includes the best newcomer in the music circle in recent years, the white hip-hop singer Eminem who is still active after 20 years, and he is Dr. Dre's love disciple cultivated by himself.
And Dr. Dre has more than just Eminem as an apprentice. Maybe it is still controversial to say that he is the godfather of West Coast hip-hop, but if the prefix "future" is added, it is beyond reproach.
"Relax. If it is not necessary, we will not start a war." Josie slowly turned around in front of the mirror, motioning for Harvey Spector to help put on the bracelet, "We don't need to use nuclear weapons first, but Can't do without—understand? So, I want to hear about Nicole Young."
A few years ago, R & B king Rkelly and his singer Arya, who was only 15 years old, married a sensational scandal that caused a lot of controversy and criticism.
Although the career of the instigator did not suffer a devastating blow, the record company he worked for inevitably spent money to eliminate the disaster.
Look, in this country, the greatest pass is only Franklin, and the pain of those girls is nothing compared to the money-absorbing ability of the boss.
Unfortunately, God can't save everyone in this terrible world.
——And Josie couldn't.
The wrists of a young woman are slender and fair, and the blue-purple blood vessels are hidden under the tender skin on the wrists that have been expensively maintained, and there seems to be a faint, indistinct fragrance.
Harvey Spector took a silent breath, maintained his professionalism, and silently put on the diamond bracelet for his big star client.
After doing all this, he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
And Josie asked logically, "Thanks. But why haven't you started yet, Harvey?"
Harvey unconsciously took another deep breath, cleared his throat, and replied, "Cough, Nicole Young, you may not know that this lady got married after her husband pointed a gun at her head and signed a prenuptial agreement." , I'm not sure there's anything in this world that she can't forgive him."
Josie sneered at the mirror and said sarcastically: "Wow, then he's really bad, I don't think normal human beings can really fall in love with an abnormal scum, 'she's only in love with his money' sounds Anything more romantic than that."
As she said that, she checked her makeup for the last time and rang the hand bell of the dressing table.
As soon as the bell rang, the team members who were waiting in the living room outside knew that their "Her Majesty" was going to expand the territory again, so when Josie put on her coat and left the room, everyone was also ready to go.
The high-heeled shoes stepped on the thickly carpeted corridor of the hotel, and Josie continued the unfinished conversation with her lawyer: "I remember, according to the California Family Code, Aftermath's brand trademark should belong to the joint property of the husband and wife."
"Yes——" Harvey Spector paused, "but I don't think a divorce fight is a good idea."
"Divorce fight? No, just need to find the right person to do some legal publicity for poor Nicole, my barrister."
While speaking, a group of people stepped into the elevator room.
If it wasn't necessary, Josie didn't really want to go to war with a hip-hop singer like Dr. Dre who was deeply involved with the Communist forces—provided that there were no irreconcilable conflicts between the two parties.
But now, she wants to give Universal Music a hard knife in return for the multiple "care" of David Geffen and Edgar Bronfman Jr.
The richer and more powerful a couple is, the more their divorce wars will affect them, isn't it?
In the elevator room.
Josie silently looked at herself reflected in the mirror.
Young, healthy, rich, and beautiful—but why is it becoming more and more like a deep pool?
Perhaps, when everything becomes at your fingertips, people's desires are even more unsatisfied.
What a precious human nature.
Josie smiled at herself in front of her, the corners of her mouth curved in a very standard Hollywood pattern.
Then, she turned her head slightly, smiled at the bodyguard on the other side, and said in an equally sweet tone, "Jason, tomorrow morning I want to watch the last cartoon of you laughing and laughing alone, okay?"
"...Okay, boss." The cold-faced bodyguard remained cold-faced.
——I really wanted to recommend "Puppet Baby" to my boss, because it was more childish than the "Puppet and Butt" she just mentioned.
Josie felt a lot better after she said this.
And Harvey Specter next to him continued with a wink: "In New York, the independent prosecutor Chuck Rhodes launched an investigation under the guidance of our people, but he still cares more about Ax Capital in the stock market. As for the issue of internal transactions, Aix is closely watched."
Josie nodded and said, "Well, I haven't been in touch with Aix for a long time, and our cooperative relationship ended a few months ago."
"That would be great." Harvey Spector shrugged, looked down at Josie beside him and said, "I heard that Aix is getting married soon. Interestingly, I even I didn't know he had a girlfriend who was talking about marriage."
"Maybe it's true love, maybe it's American law, who knows?" Josie also shrugged.
There is a "spousal testimony privilege" in American law, that is, in a trial involving life or freedom, in order to maintain family peace and social stability, the wife testifies against the husband, or the husband testifies against the wife, Neither are supported.
Can someone like Aix have true love?
If there was, it would be only himself, like most Wall Street financiers.
"In short, we will wait and see what happens in this matter, and we don't need to do anything more."
Josie made a final decision.
Harvey Spector agrees.
But the next topic made him hesitate.
Josie noticed this and raised her eyebrows: "Speak up, or shut up."
"Emmm——" Harvey Spector could only say, "Well, someone told me through some friends that Hollywood will find a middleman to mediate the conflict between you and Universal, in exchange for some possible leverage in your hands .”
After he finished speaking, he took a very deliberate look at Josie who was standing beside him, only glimpsed the latter's unmoving expression, and could not draw any conclusions, "Well, I have a showdown. When you receive calls from certain senators or wealthy Jewish people, you must give me a general direction, my lord, otherwise these calls will reach you in a few days."
"I need my enemies to pay enough." Josie raised her chin and smiled at herself reflected in the mirror, "They also participated in the division of Bronfman and Universal, and I shouldn't be the only one to bear the anger. David Geffen is always haunting me, and it pisses me off, so he'd better hand over his share of Universal Music — or, I want his share of that streaming company."
RIET, this company has very advanced streaming media technology, such as Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and others have invested in this company early, but it is limited by the problem of too slow Internet speed nowadays, This technology has not yet been fully utilized.
A few years ago, the scramble over RIET had led to at least three murders, when Josie paid the hapless man who had escaped death a sum of money and then used an offshore company to buy out a small share of his interest.
And now, it's time for more.
Harvey Spector knew exactly what Josie really wanted, nodded, and then heard the other party say: "——As for Bronfman, I don't think this is a personal grudge, it's just a normal business. Personally, I don't have much interest in beating up dogs, but only if it helps me with David Geffen."
Well, it's what you say it is.
"As you wish, my dear boss." Harvey Spector said in a Shakespeare accent.
Walking out of the elevator, you can already feel the festive atmosphere of the party not far away in the corridor. Warner stars, producers, executives, investors involved in the film industry, atmospheric models provided by model agencies, and others who tried their best to get in The handsome men and beautiful women at the party are Hollywood-style luxury and money fans.
"Hey Josie, congratulations on your new box office hit!"
A tall Caucasian male walked towards him, and his female companion was tall and slender, a very conspicuous pair.
Josie put on a formulaic smile: "Hi, James, Jody."
The speaker was the rich Australian James Parker, accompanied by his female companion Jody Mills. Since taking over the family's media industry, this Forbes regular has been in Hollywood and Hollywood tabloids like a fish in water, keen on Yu chasing female stars and models.
It is worth mentioning that he has a delicate relationship with Edgar Bronfman Jr., who also belongs to the super rich second generation but has almost no scandals.
James Parker's tone was very enthusiastic: "I heard that your Arnold is going to start the sequel of "The Trap of the Sky"? If you lack funds, please remember to call me. You know, I am a big fan of "The Trap of the Sky" !"
"Okay, I'll think about it." Josie gave a formulaic answer, "I hope you have a good time tonight."
Turning around, Donald was walking with his beautiful daughter.
