Chapter 468 Would I not know?

“Michael Nadler?”

“I’ve met him before, but if I remember correctly, he was clerking for Judge Robert Katzman at the time… on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.”

Jordan Bromley narrowed his eyes, searching his mind for memories of Michael Nadler.

"That was a year ago." Han Yi explained the situation to him. "I worked at the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York for a year, and then worked at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for another year. After building up my resume according to my father's plan, I have now entered the private sector and am a junior partner at Gershon Law Firm."

"Time flies," Jordan said. "When I first met him, he was still studying at Columbia and hadn't even started law school yet."

"I've really grown up under the protection of my father all my life." Han Yi shook his head and smiled, "I studied undergraduate at Columbia University, law school at New York University, and I had two federal court experiences in New York... It can be seen that Jerry cares a lot about the growth of the next generation."

"So what are you going to do? Really hand this acquisition over to this kid to please his father?"

When asking this question, Jordan deliberately turned his head to look at the rearview mirror, making his posture and tone appear as casual and nonchalant as possible, but how could Han Yi not figure out his little thoughts?
Jordan Bromley has always coveted this resort acquisition that is closely related to the entertainment industry but not entirely within the Hollywood realm.

It's not just for the generous commissions, but also for the development of new business segments, to transform himself from a Hollywood legal consultant who specializes in entertainment law and entertainment industry transactions, to a world-class lawyer who is successful in any field.

then……

He doesn't have to stay in Manat Entertainment for the rest of his life as a so-called managing partner.

Bromley Solicitors, doesn't that sound better?
In order to achieve this goal hidden deep in his heart, Jordan must seize every opportunity to break out of the circle.

The acquisitions that Han Yi is currently promoting are the best and most practical opportunities he can get.

There was no reason for him to let them slip away and be picked by some second-generation Capitol Hill idiot who hadn't even fully grown his hair.

"Of course I can't let him be in charge of the entire acquisition. However, if there is a suitable position and role, he can be involved." Han Yi gave Jordan a reassurance, "On the one hand, I must be responsible for the project I lead and ensure that it can be successfully implemented so that all parties can see the benefits and not let everyone's work in vain due to loopholes in certain processes. On the other hand..."

"I don't think Jerry Nadler is going to promise Kihoon a seat on a powerful committee just because his son got a lucrative agency contract. At best, this level of leverage will get Nadler to co-sign some innocuous bill."

"For example, as a freshman congressman, if a pharmaceutical company in your district wants to include an oral kidney drug in the reimbursement scope of federal medical insurance, and there are no pharmaceutical companies in Nadler's district, in this case, he will definitely be happy to use his influence to help you stand up, because he doesn't need to pay anything. He just needs to provide a co-signatory name and make a few calls to the committee responsible for review to make the process go faster, that's all."

"This kind of bill has nothing to do with party affiliation or ideology. As long as it passes the committee, there won't be much of a problem in getting it voted on."

"Selling favors and getting benefits at the same time, a one-time cooperation proposal like this is what Nadler wants to see. It is simply a daydream to use the commission from a takeover case to gain his support and ask him to help you get a seat on the powerful committee."

"The reason why Kihoon had this dream, wanting to use Circus Circus as a starting point to break the deadlock and sit at the same negotiating table with Nadler, is because he really doesn't have anything that can interest Nadler. The acquisition and reconstruction of Circus Circus is already the biggest project he can get for Nadler right now."

"And he 'borrowed' this project from you." Jordan hit the nail on the head.

"That's right." Han Yi knew that Jordan hadn't said the second half of his sentence yet. "He has promised to fully support us, get Circus Circus from MGM, and use his influence in Congress and locally to provide convenience during the reconstruction phase. In addition, the first thing he did after being sworn in as the 115th Congress was to actively participate in the legislation of the Music Modernization Act and appeal for its passage."

"No party will deliberately obstruct this bill." Jordan was obviously not satisfied with Reuben Kihune's statement. "It's hard to pass a bill that protects the common interests of the entire industry without a unanimous vote. The difficulty we face now is how to add the clauses that best suit our interests."

"This is the purview of the Judiciary Committee." Han Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "Hearings, witness questioning, committee review, and ultimately finalizing the rules and regulations for the Music Modernization Act all require Kihune's status as a non-voting member of the Judiciary Committee to help."

"So the so-called 'he is not picky at all, he will get as many as he can' is also a lie." Jordan also laughed, "He has already selected his target committee, and he knows that you have only successfully bet on him in this election. If you want to exert influence on this bill, you must help him get into the Judiciary Committee." "He doesn't know that I have Rubinstein's introduction on the Republican side, and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte is mobilizing Republican colleagues he can command to help me exert force on the other end. This is a good thing. Jerry Nadler is not aware of this situation at the moment, and this is an even better thing. They think I have no one to rely on on Capitol Hill, so when they offer me conditions for cooperation, they will be more unscrupulous."

"If you have nothing to worry about, you won't hold anything back, and you'll be able to find out their real needs and bottom line more quickly."

"That's right." At this point, Han Yi sighed softly, "If I have a choice, I really don't want to deal too much with these politicians. It's too complicated - Nadler thinks he has Kihoon in his hands, and Kihoon thinks he has me in his hands. I need Kihoon as a bargaining chip to impress Nadler, and Kihoon also needs me as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Nadler."

"Unfortunately, if you want to achieve your goals, there is no choice or negotiation on this matter. Capitol Hill is a place you cannot avoid and must deal with." Jordan said sincerely and truthfully, "What's more, this is not the most complicated part. The most complicated part is that you haven't figured out what Nadler wants in exchange. And this time, Nadler should want more than before. After all, before you just needed him to help you stand up for the Music Modernization Act, and now you also need him to help you get Kihune into the Judiciary Committee."

"It's a bit of a detour, I know. But it's good for me that Kihoon can take root in Capitol Hill...NV-4 is there and it's not going to move somewhere else. If I want to take down Circus Circus and expand my presence in Las Vegas, I have to have someone like him in charge to avoid being eaten alive by MGM and Sands."

Han Yi himself was also very annoyed about the fact that he had been given another task out of nowhere. But there was nothing he could do. When doing things, especially when negotiating cooperation with others, there was no such thing as planning before taking action. He just tried to make the most favorable compromise for both parties based on the ever-changing dynamic needs of others and his own ever-changing business situation.

"There are more things that we can't discuss or confirm now. I can only wait until I meet Nadler in New York in December to know what he thinks of Kihune and what conditions he will offer me."

"Of course." Jordan paused. After a while, he spoke again, "But improving the current situation is one thing, and expanding outward is also a very important task, especially when you... only have one chess piece to deploy."

"Are you talking about Jackie Rosen and Catherine Mastow?" Han Yi understood instantly.

"It wouldn't hurt to contact them and see if they're interested." Jordan shook his head. "And it's not just Nevada. We're going to Florida for a festival soon, and there are a lot of congressmen there who care about the development of the music industry... 28 congressional districts."

"Haha, one congressional district is enough to make my head explode. Let me take a break today." Han Yi glanced at Jordan and laughed, "Speaking of this... How long are we going to stay out? Are you ready for the surprise party at home?"

"What...surprise party?" Jordan was stunned.

"Don't hide it from me." Han Yi waved his hand. "He asked me out for lunch at noon, and he even went to Rowland Heights to eat, saying that he wanted to try Chinese food... After we finished eating, he said he wanted to talk to me about something, and he chatted for another half an hour before offering to drive me back to the office... He kept me away for so long, wasn't it just to decorate the house and ask the guests to hide in the house in advance, so that I would be scared when I got home?"

"Yi, I have to say that your observation ability is really...wrong."

Jordan Bromley pondered over what Han Yi had just said and found something wrong.

"How do you know it was at your home and not at the office? I clearly said I was going to drive you back to the office. Didn't you just say that yourself?"

"Because Corey has already told me." Han Yi couldn't help laughing, "Grace and Madison just started planning this party and asked Corey if he could cooperate and help them keep the secret. He told me on the first day."

"What?" Jordan was stunned.

"Do you really think I don't know about these little tricks played by Grace and Madison?" Seeing Jordan's surprised expression, Han Yi laughed even more happily, "Corey is my property manager. Without my permission, how could they have ordered those equipment and invited those chefs to enter my home?"

"Damn you, Corey." Jordan exhaled and shook his head. "He was the one who asked me to take you to Rowland Heights for dinner and to keep it a secret... What a waste of my time."

"Don't blame him, he's just doing his job." Han Yi patted Jordan on the shoulder and winked at him mischievously, "How is it? Can we go back now?"

"Don't worry, I promise to perform seriously and pretend to be surprised and happy. I won't spoil everyone's fun."
