America's Top Player

Chapter 27 Inspiration Exploitation
JAY-Z's dominance left George and T-ray with no way out. In fact, it had become normal for him to snatch people from these small labels with his money and power.

As early as 1991, when T-ray was at its peak, its top-tier NAS was chosen by JAY-Z.

JAY-Z used various methods, including money, threats, and seduction.
But these methods ultimately failed to impress NAS, and he finally signed with the West Coast Godfather, Dre, in 1997, who is also the only one in the rap circle who can compete with JAY-Z in terms of status in the rap circle.

George knew very well that in the face of the plundering of these big companies, Black Panther Records, a small workshop, could not retain talent at all.

But it is impossible to let him give up the gold mine that he found with great effort. He must make the other party pay a sufficient price.

Seeing that Big Boss George instantly softened when facing JAY-Z, T-ray anxiously shouted to Leon: "White boy, say something! The initiative is yours!"

T-ray believed that Leon could see his contribution to him, so when distributing the dividends, he never took advantage of his gangster status to take an extra cent, and he never forgot to bring Leon along whenever he went to advance.

Even though he knew that the other party was an extremely greedy bastard, he still believed that his sincerity could melt Leon's emotionless iceberg!
Under T-ray's expectant gaze, Li Ang said seriously, "It has been my dream since I was a child to work with Mr. JAY-Z."

"Are you kidding me?!"

T-ray just realized that his sincerity had been thrown into vain, and Leon was the only one who could stop JAY-Z.

Without any contract burden, he is a completely free agent.

As long as he chooses to refuse, no matter how powerful JAY-Z is, he can't put a gun to Leon's head and force him to submit.

But Li Ang had no reason to refuse.

Originally, he was very upset about Phil's behavior of selling him out without his permission, but when he saw JAY-Z, he was relieved.

JAY-Z and Beyoncé are so rich!
They are unique in the entire American entertainment industry. On April 2008, 4, after Beyoncé and Jay-Z got married in New York, they became the first couple in the music industry to have personal assets exceeding $4 billion!

Therefore, JAY-Z is always very generous to his artists, spending money without blinking an eye as if it were waste paper. Even Beyoncé's jewelry collection is worth more than 100 million US dollars.

The expenditure on diamonds alone, the marketing product of the century, exceeded 2000 million US dollars, making her worthy of the nickname "Venus in Gold".

Isn't it more promising to follow a boss like this than to struggle in a gang's lair?
Choosing one of the two is basically a free point question.

"You made a wise decision, young man." JAY-Z gave Li Ang a thumbs up while smoking a cigar.

"Listen Bro, I can't let you take this white trash away like this. You can't imagine how much effort I poured into him!" George's veins were exposed, and the super male gene in his body was playing tricks on him. He looked like he was about to lose his mind.

"Of course I understand that. I won't let your hard work go to waste." JAY-Z then had his bodyguard place a black briefcase on the table. "Open it and take a look."

Although George had already anticipated what was in the box, he was also prepared to argue with JAY-Z over the number issue.

But when their eyes were filled with the pale blue light of US dollar bills, both he and T-RAY were speechless.

There were fifty stacks of brand new hundred-dollar bills in the box.

Li Ang was rubbing his feet anxiously: When did I become worth so much money?

At this point, he began to regret his decision to use T-RAY to release his own album. If he had been ruthless enough to secretly embezzle Bonnie's small savings to release his own album,
So now he can completely sell himself to JAY-Z and keep the 500,000 alone.

Looking at George's funny look of shock, JAY-Z said with a smile: "I don't like to drag things out. I think this money is enough to satisfy you greedy nigers."

"Take this money and open a strip club and be a happy pimp."

"Whatever you do, just stay out of the record industry. You've been a bunch of losers since the 90s."

"And I'm a born winner."

Faced with these humiliations, George chose to endure it in silence. With so much money in front of him, why should he still save face?
You should know that there was no contract between Leon and Black Panther Records to sell him. JAY-Z received the $500,000 simply because he wanted to resolve the issue the simplest way possible. There's no need to resort to violence when money can solve it. The lives of all the nigers in Brownsville combined are not as valuable as JAY-Z's.

The subsequent negotiations took JAY-Z less than five minutes to finalize everything.

After receiving the 500,000 yuan, Li Ang had nothing to do with Black Panther Records anymore.

In addition, the agreement stipulates that Black Panther Records will permanently lose the publishing rights of "Take Me to Church". Of course, the profits from the records that have already been printed will still belong to Black Panther Records. Even if this small amount of money falls on the ground, JAY-Z may not pick it up.

Although T-ray had some complaints about this, George was very satisfied and agreed without hesitation.

George was used to making quick money by doing illegal business. Based on the price of CDs at $3 each, he would have to sell at least 50 copies to make $.

Moreover, the popular trends in the music market change very quickly, and no one can guarantee that the sales of "Take Me to Church" will not suddenly plummet one day.

So JAY-Z used the $500,000 to successfully obtain a result that satisfied everyone, except T-ray.

After leaving Black Panther Records, JAY-Z stood next to his Bentley, patted Li Ang on the shoulder and said, "Let's say a simple goodbye to this place."

"What does it mean?"

"You are mine now. You can't keep living in this filthy rat's nest."

JAY-Z pulled out two stacks of bills from his windbreaker pocket and tossed them to Li Ang. "Take this money and rent an apartment in Brooklyn Heights. That's where you'll be working in the future."

Twenty thousand US dollars was spent in one go, and Li Ang was almost knocked unconscious by the financial offensive of the number one boss.

"By the way, you must come to the company tomorrow afternoon. You need to familiarize yourself with the working environment."

"Phil will give you the address."

"Come on, kid, you're a member of the Kingdom now."

After saying that, JAY-Z got into the Bentley and drove away.

While Leon was still busy counting the money greedily, T-ray also walked out of the office.

He leaned against the wall and sneered, "You shameless bastard, sooner or later you will pay the price for your shameless betrayal."

"I've seen it all too often that when you're no longer useful, JAY-Z will just leave you on the side of the road like a stray dog and leave you to rot."

Judging from the current situation, T-ray's defense is obviously broken.

Leon turned around and gave T-ray the middle finger, then quickly got into his eight-hand Corolla and left Chester Street.

As he passed a red light, the voice that seemed to come from hell rang in his head again.

[The Shameless entry has been refreshed, and the new Betrayal entry has been entered.]

[The betrayer entry can open the exploitation function, exploiting all the musical inspiration of others for the rest of their lives! ]

[After using the exploitation skill, the entry will disappear immediately. ]

Good luck, scumbag. Satan is watching you.
