Supergroup

"A massive supergroup, Derrick?" Jude said. "What an interesting coincidence. I also happened to acquire a collective recently."

Derrick blinked, then threw his head back and let out a laugh. 

"You?" Derrick mocked, looking around at his executives, who joined in the laughter. "What did you buy, Lawson? A struggling indie choir from a community college? A washed-up boy band from the nineties?"

Derrick stepped closer to the VIP table, leaning on the back of an empty chair. "You clearly don't understand the capital required to play at this level. I spent two billion dollars to acquire the exclusive management rights to the Velvet 32! It is an asset class that Wall Street suits can't even comprehend. An entertainment collective of that magnitude is a billion-dollar star-making engine!"

To him, the Velvet 32 was an unstoppable juggernaut that placed Vanguard Records at the pinnacle of the industry. 

Director Vance leaned closer to Jude.
