American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 204 Opening

Bayfront Park the day before TLTRA opening.

In the south area a few miles away from the main stage, some workers were setting up the final stage. The big screen had entered the final testing stage. Robert Allen was also temporarily transferred to Miami. In order to make way for Ryan's ultra sub-stage, Taylor suspended the tour.

"It doesn't look much smaller than the main stage next to it." Wearing a hard hat and a reflective vest, Berwick transformed himself into a contractor.

“It’s bigger than the main stage,” Teresa reminded.

Ryan now has a mature stage design and construction team. For the final performance effect, he is naturally willing to spend money. Besides, the cost of building the stage is actually not high. Robert Allen has already brought out the team and is very efficient.

Ryan turned around and saw another tent set up not far away. The scene was exactly the same as last year, with people wearing strange clothes, having a naked party, and taking drugs and partying.

It seems that this tent is even bigger than last year.

With so many people, the amount of money they spend on Molly every day is astronomical. Where there is demand, there is a market, and there will be people selling it.

Beric noticed Ryan's movements, took the initiative to move over, and whispered: "In the past few days, our people have investigated a lot of sales dens, some are phone takeout, and some are sold at fixed locations. According to past practices, there will be on-site stalls in the park. According to last year's locations, all sales locations have been marked on the map."

"Don't look at me like that. These people came here from all over the United States. No one knows each other. It's not difficult to investigate these things."

"What do we do next? Notify MPD?"

Ryan shook his head: "Now is not the time."

Besides, Russell is a donor to MPD, and he probably has informants in the corresponding jurisdiction. Notifying MPD now would make Russell more alert.

"Have you heard the story of Robin Hood?" Ryan asked back.

"Robin Hood who robs the rich and gives to the poor?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"In Alabama, my two old friends have been following the man for several days. The tracker on the man's car shows that he often goes to a few places: his home, his mistress's apartment, and the factory..."

"Call 911 tomorrow." Ryan nodded.

·
"The road construction has been settled, but we have to bear the cost of building the road, otherwise it won't be approved by the city council. This is all my sister can do." Alex's voice came from the other end of the phone.

This is enough.

"Your mission has been completed. Thank you for your help." Ryan said.

"Don't forget my share after this."

"Of course, but only after I complete the acquisition."

"You are rich and have a good background, plus with the information I provided you, you can definitely handle Ultra." Alex said. He felt that this matter was already certain.

"Let's hope. I hope nothing goes wrong with Ultra this year." Ryan nodded slowly.

"What could go wrong? Ultra is like this every year. Even if there is a scandal, it is just a minor one."

The next afternoon, in an abandoned warehouse in Birmingham, Alabama.

"This is the last address. If you are not satisfied with this place, then I suggest you don't open it." A bald man in a shirt and a gold chain around his neck kicked the can at his feet and spoke with an impatient tone.

This man was Russell's subordinate in Alabama. He had been leading Ryan's subordinates to search for potential locations for Bad Room branches in the city these past two days. Unfortunately, these two subordinates were very picky and were not satisfied with any location. At this moment, the two men were still very silent. They walked around for a while and then said to the man, "We will report to Mr. Rivers."

It's finally over. Da Jinlian is so excited that he almost shouts out.

"Then I won't take you back to the hotel. I have something else to do." He had to go to the factory to check.

The two men didn't say anything. After watching the man drive away, they walked to a nearby restaurant and called 911 using the phone in the restaurant.

About half an hour later.

The stereo in the car was turned up to the maximum, and the man with a big gold chain was humming a song. Just as he turned the corner, he suddenly saw more than a dozen police cars parked at the gate of the abandoned parking lot.

"Shit!" Da Jinlian cursed inwardly and quickly reversed the car. The next second, the rear of the car was hit violently. With the huge inertia, Da Jinlian's forehead hit the windshield, and the windshield was cracked...

When the man woke up, he was already in a hospital, handcuffed to the bed. The DEA agent in charge of guarding him immediately reported to his superiors.

"What are you doing? I'm just a passerby! I want to see my lawyer." The man with the big gold chain shouted.

After a while, several DEA agents came in. The leader supported the bed with both hands and looked at the big gold chain.

"Alexander Garcia Lopez, the boss of the factory, you don't have to struggle. You can't get out unless you saw off your hand." The man pulled a stool over and sat next to the big gold chain.

"All your men have confessed. The goods we found in your factory are enough to keep you locked up for two hundred years. If you still want to see the sun outside the prison, you'd better tell us everything you know. Tell me, where did the raw materials come from? Who did you sell them to?" The man grabbed Alexander by the collar.

"The ingredients are from Florida!" Alexander screamed.

In the evening, when night fell, the Ultra Music Festival officially opened. Ryan's sub-stage was built in the classical Baroque style similar to the broken room building. Of course, they were just decorations, and the interior was still a simple steel frame structure. But under the lighting, it was dreamy enough, and in terms of momentum, it was even better than the main stage not far away.

Ryan gave an unprecedented long performance on his own stage, including last year's annual remix and his own new song. Tai will arrive tonight and she will take the stage tomorrow to sing "Mean" for the first time.

After a performance that lasted more than an hour, Ryan left the stage and was replaced by Calvin Harris.

Letting him replace Ryan is enough to show how much importance is attached to him, but he is not yet able to accept Ryan's "favor". Although he has been performing hard, many people who came to see Ryan still started to head to the main stage.

It seems that we need to sign a few more potential DJs. I wonder if any DJ on the "list" will show up this year... Ryan, who was standing backstage, saw this and thought to himself.

·
"Everything is going well here..." the subordinate responded on the other end of the phone.

"Has the address of the nightclub been determined?"

"It should be... confirmed." The subordinate seemed to lack confidence.

"What happened to you?" Russell immediately realized that something was wrong. His subordinates did not usually speak like this.

"Oh, it's all women's fault. They're yelling about leaving." said the person on the other end of the phone.

"I told you not to spoil him like that. You should teach him a lesson if he deserves it." Russell sneered, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. The music festival has started and I'm very busy these two days."

Of course they are busy selling Molly, which is the real source of profit. How much money can the music festival itself make?

　I changed the network this afternoon, which delayed me for a while. In addition, I kept deleting and rewriting this chapter. Originally, my conception process was quite long and involved many links, but I felt that some of the processes were unnecessary, so I changed to a more direct approach.
