Chapter 827 (1/2)

”Ha ha ha ha ha!”

On the 7th, Songya's tour in New York was a little smaller than that in Chicago, and all the tickets were sold out. The tour tickets for the singer's novice performers were generally very affordable. They would rather make less money than keep the attendance rate.

In the afternoon, song Ya lies comfortably on the sofa in the lounge watching financial programs.

Today is Pearl Harbor memorial day. Microsoft held its Internet strategy seminar on this day. With Netscape's market value falling short of 10 billion and seven Internet companies listed successfully, the Internet tide should be certain. The software giant suddenly has the plan to mend the slack. Bill Gates, the boss of Microsoft and the richest man in the world, turned to Talking about the Internet enthusiastically. ”I think the development of the Internet in the next few years will determine the direction of the whole industry for a long time,” he said. Now I assign the highest level of importance to the Internet. I want to make it clear that our attention to the Internet is the first priority. ”

But now the whole industry thinks his reaction is obviously slow. The software giant's new operating system is selling well and its stock has been rising. But what? You seem to have missed the future.

”Netscape is not a great software,” he said This sentence exposes the arrogance and ignorance of old software giants to emerging companies and technologies.

Some of the financial guests who are at the helm of the situation began to learn from Netscape president Baxter and new technology hero Mark Anderson to tease Microsoft with humorous words, saying that their slow pace can not keep up with the new behavior mode of Internet enterprises. It took three years from windows 3.1 to 95, and Netscape browser released major updates every three months.

Even IBM, the blue giant, which has always been criticized as the most bureaucratic and slowest reaction among technology enterprises, has officially launched lotus software by purchasing lotus software and modifying lotus software's notes program into WWW server program. Oracle has also announced its browser plan early.

What about Microsoft? I bought an out of date work from Mark Anderson University, and modified it a little bit and released it as ie1.0. It's hard to use it.

And the software industry has always been the first place, Microsoft should have a deep understanding of it, and now it's time to react and want to catch up? It's late!

Financial guests have been sneering at Microsoft for some time in the direction of the Internet, from ”dead duck's mouth” to ”gilding its own face”. Everyone's words are very good.

After the decision to divorce, the previously haunting feeling of depression seems to have disappeared. Netscape's market value is 10 billion, what's the 3% of 10 billion? Song Ya grinned at the TV.

The staff of Fu Hua Dao, who served him, were busy in the super large lounge of superstar treatment, holding their breath professionally and doing the work in hand with their hands and feet.

“Yo，APLUS。”

NAS came with manager Newman, who, as a landlord and diehard in New York, would help as an opening guest at the concert.

”Hey, where's Daniel?”

Song Ya and his fist after looking behind Newman, Sony Columbia Records President Mr. unexpectedly did not appear, the stadium is very close to the headquarters, he should have arrived.

”The head office has a very important meeting about music piracy on the Internet.” Newman replied.

”Sit down.”

Song Ya turned off the TV and chatted with them. The music industry is the hardest hit area of the stolen version. Now NAS and the small and medium-sized singers with lower level of coffee are hurt the most. NAS, known as the street poet, is gaining more and more popularity in the east coast rap circle. It is almost one of the favorite rap singers of professional music critics, but the record sales are still completely unmatched Worthy of his fame.

For example, the common of a + records has a very high score of album music reviews, but it can't sell records. Because rap music has a tradition of selling records through ”underground records”, and that channel has been taken over by pirated CDs which are more and more convenient for recording and spreading in the past two years. Bad money drives out good money. The records distributed through underground channels can't be returned to singers and record companies 。

NAS is getting more and more angry. In New York, he is marginalized by the ”bad boys” led by biggie and bragging dad. There are countless rising stars in Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and other places who want to get to the top through diss. He gets stuck in the middle and gets stuck in the middle.

”Your jazz has a lot of business skills.” He said.

”Jazzy didn't mess with you, did he? I said hello to damondash and him Songya also heard from Linda that jazzy has become more and more famous in Brooklyn recently.

It should be a natural star. You can see from the Apocalypse lyrics of the heart of Empire. If you give him a little sunshine, he can play and play. For example, aplus valued and signed a contract. Sony Columbia Records, one of the top six, will release his songs. He also has his own record company, roc-a-fella, and so on. With prison experience, he has packaged himself into a street Like a guy, he quickly pulled up followers and forces in Brooklyn.

He also picked two or three New York rappers to play beefs. They stepped on each other's top positions all the way, and got involved with biggie. He was recommended several times in Brooklyn by biggie as a little brother. I heard that biggie was even willing to cooperate with him in singingIn a word, this guy is becoming more and more famous in New York City. He can be seen where he is a little bit rusty. Taking advantage of the heat and the first-class ability of doing things, he has a little meaning of returning to the sea.

”No

NAS is not an eyewash. Jazzy's status is far from him, and he didn't dare to rub him after being warned by himself. However, he should be a little wary of the rise of jazzy. Besides, before he looked down on that guy in his heart, ”you know aplus, now I'm tired of the little singer who can't be thrown away like gum.”

”Hey! Alicia, and Ms. Sloane

After a few words, song Ya saw two workplace beauties appear at the door of the restroom, and said with a loud smile: ”come in! We're talking about the music world in New York. ”

”Is it?” Alicia was in a good mood. She took off her windbreaker and gave it to Linda. ”Hello, Linda, are you back as an assistant again? Where's taraji? ”

”No, just to watch the boss's concert, taraj is outside in charge of communicating with the director.” Linda grinned and helped her hang up. ”Congratulations, Mrs. flock. Oh, now I'm going to call the governor's wife. Ms. Sloane, give it to me, too She helped Sloan take off his coat again. ”New York is warmer than Chicago, isn't it?”

”Yes.” Alicia kindly extended her hand to Newman and NAS with a programmed smile for voters, ”hello.”

”Hello, Mrs. flock.” Newman stood up and shook her hand.

NAS had no choice but to shake hands suspiciously, thinking that the governor's wife was a nickname, and Newman took him away with an eye.

”You don't have to come here at this time, Alicia. My work can be dealt with after Peter's inauguration next month.” Song Ya lay down and held out his fist at her.

She froze for a moment, then laughed playfully and learned to touch a fist. ”He's him, I'm me. I like to do my own work, not the so-called governor's wife, female independence, right? Sloan. ”

”Hmmm.” Ms. Sloan's eyes were sharp. ”You want me? APLUS。”

”Yes, Linda, close the door. Go out first, all of you. ” Songya sent the staff away, changed a more serious attitude, and said in a low voice: ”federal representative Langer has come to me. Your next task is to help him and inner city broadcasting company to keep the operation right of Apollo Theater according to the gentleman's agreement with Langer before.”

”So fast? I thought Giuliani would have to wait until the second term at least Asked Ms. Sloan.

”It's not Giuliani. It seems that a jazz singer has been caught peddling in the theater. At present, the elephant party members of the New York City Council have taken this opportunity to make a difficult decision. This is not the first time that they have proposed to take back the management right, you know.” ”Langer's foundation has also been caught in some other financial transactions,” Song said

Since New York was replaced by the elephant party, the city government has been trying to take back the management of the Apollo Theater from the Manhattan Gang, rather than being poached by the inner city broadcasting company on cheap leases.

Song Ya has invested more than 30 million yuan in inner city broadcasting company, and has just been elected as the chairman of the board. Of course, he has to try his best to keep this most stable profit point, let alone a series of complicated interest exchanges involving the grand commander and Underwood, the party whip, for this matter.

”Now the battleground is mainly in the New York City Council, isn't it?”

Ms. Sloan learned something about the situation. ”It doesn't seem to be a serious problem. We can hold on to it.”

”Yes, well, at least that's what Langer told me.” Song is very busy with the details. In fact, I don't know the details of your work

“OK。”

Sloan found out his address book and started to make phone calls on the spot.

”And me? What's my mission? ”

Alicia took a look at Sloan without any distractions. She lifted her hair and sat across from Songya. ”I heard that Dilai said that DTS was not successful? I'm sorry, I didn't pay too much attention to it because I was helping Peter

”It fell below the issue price on the first day, but It doesn't matter. Just raise the money. ”

Song Ya waved his hand and joked, ”I dare not ask you to help now, madam governor.”

”It's nothing to do with the law firm. It's up to me.” She tilted her feet for a comfortable sitting position.

Ha ha, this woman, ”well, Neicheng Broadcasting Company...”

After becoming the chairman of the board of directors, Neicheng broadcasting company's divestiture and spin off of non-performing assets were jointly completed by Linda, Dr. Chen, Morningstar company and Alicia's law firm. Both of them were boring business affairs. They had a long-term talk.

At the same time, Sony building, ”well, before the meeting goes on, I'm going to release a message about the company and myself.” ”Due to my health, I will retire on the 31st of this month, and I will no longer hold any management position in the company in the future...” he announced solemnly to the executives on both sides of the conference table

This bomb immediately detonated the conference room, all after the storm, we have to adjust the sitting posture to digest the news, try not to show the truth.Daniel put his finger to his lips and looked at motura across the conference table. The other side was calm, calmer than himself, completely silent.

Schulkhoff is under the patronage of the father of CD, Tanaka Ogai, the current CEO of Sony, doesn't like him. It's no secret in the company. It seems that Tanaka Ogawa finally compromised with him, or even congratulated himself on his loss of power? It also needs to be observed.

And motura has a close relationship with shuerhof, and now shuerhof is gone, so

Daniel carefully considered the interests. In fact, it was not good for him to leave. After all, he finally made the decision to make himself the president of Sony Columbia Records, and it was he who transferred motura to Sony entertainment. He is dazed, conceited, and energetic. He doesn't like any changes. He's a layman in the record industry. He's almost a ”perfect boss.”.

However, Sony should have changed him long ago, and the book has been able to bear it until now, so we have to wait and see who the next successor will be! Life goes on, Daniel comforts himself.

”About Sony Columbia's response to online piracy, Daniel glass will tell us about it...” The lengthy meeting continued, and towards the end of the day, schulhof brought up the recording industry's agenda.

”Well, at present, the six major record companies have agreed to form a response alliance led by Mr. Bronfman Jr., the boss of universal music. The first meeting will be held in...” Daniel cleared his throat and began to state.

”Ha ha! Alicia, wait a minute, you can enjoy the performance of delay. That a + Audio president is a poor third rate rapper. ”

More and more concert related personnel began to be in place. Song Ya's business was repeatedly interrupted by directors and others who came to report the situation and communicate details. He could only choose to chat about some political gossip. For example, the two parties failed to negotiate the federal budget last month, and the federal government was forced to close for five days. On the fifth of this month, he continued to close the door to thank guests, the negotiations between the grand commander and the book son, and Pearl Harbor memorial day All the activities have been suspended, and I don't know when it will be over

When sending Alicia and Sloan out of the house, song Ya happily made a face, ”Linda, take them to the VIP box, pay attention not to let the reporter see.”

”I understand.” Linda leads the way.

”See you aplus.” Alicia quietly made a helpless expression on Sloan's back in front of her.

Do you dislike light bulbs? You still want a chance to be here? Wow, is it that urgent? Song Ya couldn't help being more happy. ”There's food in the box. Please help yourself, Alicia...”

Another meeting was held in the headquarters of Microsoft. The atmosphere was very depressing. Bill Gates presided over it. He was reading to a document: ”first, in the process of browsing the Internet, I can hardly find a file format that Microsoft can support. I spent more than ten hours, but I didn't see a single word document, AVI file, EXE or file format we could support. I saw a lot of QuickTime files that all studios use to provide movie trailers, which belong to apple. Second, another popular file format on the Internet is PDF. Even the IRS of the United States provides tax forms in PDF format. Currently, HTML has some limitations, so PDF is an alternative to standardization, and adobe is investing heavily in this technology. QuickTime and PDF are very popular on the Internet because they are cross platform, and readers can get them for free. ”

Now he is not the image of his neighbor's technology house when he introduces his products. He puts down the document with a gloomy face, ”this is the content of the internal e-mail” Internet tide ”sent by me in May. Now it is the end of the year, and our situation on the Internet is still unchanged! I also wrote in my article at that time: ”one of the competitors on the Internet is Netscape. Their browsers are dominant, with a 70% share.”. And now! Their share is 85% or even higher! We are being ridiculed by everyone. ”

Others in the conference room were quiet, and only Bauer dared to take over. ”Now we see that every online service can add extra value to the Internet. We need to make its overall value stand out constantly, in order to attract users to overcome the cost considerations and really join in, so that the Internet can reach the critical value of explosive growth. We used to be a bit conservative about the time point when we reached the critical value, but now it's not too late. We've caught up with and surpassed our competitors more than once in the business competition, and this time it's not a problem. ”

”Internet services are very cheap, even free.” Someone said: ”the normal version of Netscape browser is distributed in the form of shareware, which can be used normally even if users don't pay for it. The profit prospect of this industry is not clear yet... ”
