Chicago 1990 - Chapter 1457

“New Year…”

In the early morning, Amy raised her head, looked at Shakira with big eyes, and took her hand down and worked hard, “It’s not like before…”

“I can’t stand you guys!”

Shakira complained arrogantly, but quickly compromised in Amy’s clear gaze. She knelt and accompany her to kneel, her knees side by side, “Aw!” But she accidentally touched her forehead and knocked her blond hair. When they got together, they looked at each other and laughed again.

It did happen before, and it was quite often for a certain period of time, but at the beginning, one of them was a country girl who was a waitress and the other was a Latin girl who had just come to the United States from South America to enter the music scene. Now, one is about to be nominated for an Oscar. One of the first-line Hollywood actresses, another one, has finally been promoted to the globally recognized DIVA…

Song Ya closed her eyes, enjoying the present and remembering the past.

On January 1, 2003, he also came to New York, strictly speaking New Jersey. Today is the day when he officially completed the acquisition of the First Bank of New Jersey and he became the chairman of the board.

It is also the last day that he abides by the agreement with U.S. Senator…former Senator Bill Bradley that the management of the First Bank of New Jersey will have a big exchange of blood.

After today, the conflict between him and a tycoon will also surface.

It wasn’t Paulson. He could feel Paulson’s small movements. After venting his dissatisfaction with the Wolf of Wall Street, his and Paulson’s follow-up reactions were considered restrained, and there was no danger of intensifying the struggle between the two sides.

Nor is it the coveted Redstone, or Murdoch, who is still fighting the Titanic splitting lawsuit, or the true wolf king of Wall Street, Carl Icahn, who has played against him several times.

Not even as the investigation gets deeper and deeper, it is likely to hide behind the scenes and participated in the planning of Howard Stringer who shot him back then.

Not to mention the people in the “harming alliance” who are frantically attacking MJ.

A tycoon in the electronics industry and Hollywood, a legendary technological hero:

Steve Jobs…

Things have to start with the Beats that he launched last year.

Beats was established by joint ventures of several of his joint stock companies. Jeffrey Hawkins’ HandSpring company holds the holding and is responsible for integrated solution design, operating system and final sales; Terry Beard’s DTS company is responsible for audio solutions and MP3 patents. Music file format; New American Music website: Responsible for providing official website, community operation and maintenance and genuine song download services; William Zhang, a new Goto company created by the merger of AltaVista and Goto, is responsible for providing network search services; Magic Sound is responsible for headset production and audio Performance tuning; 3DFX company is responsible for helping to coordinate the supply chain of chips and other components; Linda’s A+ record and Metropolitan Records authorize their own music copyright library, and Wan Yan, who was previously a VCD player in China, is responsible for assembly and foundry.

In addition, part of the start-up capital injected by Deep Sea Private Equity and A+ copyright and asset management companies…

If he wanted to make a small consumer electronic product, he brought together a large number of companies in his hands to collectively participate, and many of the things he took out can be regarded as the world’s leading technology.

Beats, which had been aggressive when it came out, immediately triggered a strong response from Apple, which has a bid for the bidding iPod Walkman. They selected the ultra-thin mechanical hard drive supplier that coincides with Beats’s supply chain and is also the most controllable ultra-thin mechanical hard drive supplier.

This makes Beats, which has just achieved good sales during the Black Friday shopping season, immediately face capacity problems. According to Jeffrey Hawkins, there will be out of stock around the Valentine’s Day peak next month.

If only this level of offensive and defensive business warfare, Song Ya would not rashly publicize the contradiction with the well-known Jobs, but there are two other things that aroused his deep vigilance, and the two sides actually had no room to deal with.

One thing is that Apple’s upcoming online music store iTunes. When the news reached Song Ya’s ears, Apple had negotiated with the duo alliance of Universal Music and Sony Columbia Records to authorize all of the copyright libraries of the two giants. The songs will be sold by Apple.

Subsequently, the other three, and even Disney, which is responsible for A+ records, Metropolitan Records distribution and copyright library management, also began intensive negotiations with Apple.

This is not an exclusive agreement. The five major players have spent a lot of money on their online music sales. However, the traditional giants were all Internet laymen, and they all made a lot of ridiculous operations, such as Sony’s high pricing and persistence. Use unique music formats that are not well accepted by the public, such as Disney’s go shopping with a crazy “shopping” and use multiple companies to piece together GO sites that are messy and want to do everything but nothing is done, such as in New Millennium Records The business scene is boundless, but following the operating inertia of the parent company Bertelsmann, BMG, which is still sold on the Internet, is still obsessed with the physical sales. Ground chicken feathers.

With the outbreak of the stock market crash and rampant piracy, the major record companies and parent companies have been tossed out of strength, and Apple’s iTunes plan came at the right time…

Disney Records is an ally of Song Ya and Linton, and they revealed that Apple is likely to get an ultra-low release price far lower than the physical product.

Fortunately, the remaining three plus Disney did not allow Apple to monopolize online music sales. They were also wary of each other. Song Ya reacted slowly but the opportunity still exists. He decisively decided to follow the trend of Apple again. On the one hand, he ordered his company to immediately start an online music store project and negotiate with major record companies. On the other hand, he used his influence on Disney Records to hinder their negotiations with Apple and delay the launch of the iTunes store as much as possible.

The cooperation between Apple and the recording industry is long-term. Its music production software and compression format have been used in record production and even the mastering process for a long time. Although DTS mainly focuses on cinema line audio and home theater, it was nearly ten years ago. Through the use and promotion of Songya, it has also been introduced into the industry system. Both parties have their own advantages and patent barriers. Generally speaking, Apple is still dominant.

Apple also has a large group of PC users.

The commercial competition between the two parties has rapidly intensified.

Another incident prompted Song Ya to uncover the contradiction today. After persuading Disney Records to quietly stumble, he did not expect that Roy Disney would soon end up personally, using the role of the vice chairman of the Disney Group to help Apple eliminate this. The lone incident of the field branch.

This is a very alarming signal for Song Ya and Linton, who is in charge of Disney.

Linton tried a way to investigate and found even more terrible things.

Remember when Jobs returned to Apple that year, in order to regain power and win the trust of the board of directors, he dumped all the Apple stocks in his hands?

Yes, he did throw it away, but the money was quietly spent on acquiring Disney shares by his changing hands.

His films produced by Pixar Animation are distributed by Disney Animation.

The chairman of Disney Animation is Roy Dinis, and the profit Pixar brings is very important to him. At the same time, Buzz Lightyear and other Pixar animated characters are no less popular in Disneyland than Mickey Mouse and other Disney’s old stars. ‘Well, peripheral sales are generally the same.

Because of dissatisfaction with the distribution and peripheral divisions, he and Disney Emperor Eisner had a stalemate early on. During Ovitz’s time, they challenged Eisner’s position with Warren Buffett and other tycoons.

After Ovis lost, Buffett quickly confessed to his bet and cleared all Disney shares in his hand and left the market. Jobs was still relatively weak at the time, but he did not leave. Although Linton could not find out the specific holding data, he was definitely Today is different.

He is a venomous snake lurking inside Disney. When Eisner deliberately created a dispute over Roy Disney, Robert Iger, and George Mitchell, he was undoubtedly the target of the three ‘princes’ vying to win.

That’s why Roy Disney is so active to help.

Naturally, they are the enemies of the ‘royalist’, Linton and Songya.

Formidable enemy.

Regardless of the angle, it is impossible to maintain peaceful coexistence with Jobs in the future. Whether in MP3 players, online music stores, Disney control, or Apocalypse, Apple’s future mobile phones, computer notebooks, there are irreconcilable contradictions in the entire field.

This is simply a big fight!

At this time, Song Ya remembered the Bronfman family history he had studied when dealing with the neurotic rich three generations. The old Bronfman and DuPont’s classic ConocoPhillips battle…

Ignoring the process of vague details, it was discovered after DuPont exhausted all his strength to take ConocoPhillips that the old Bronfman had just made a false move. He took the opportunity to buy DuPont stocks and became the famous American company in the history of the United States. The largest individual shareholder of the giant…

That 24% of the shares was finally sold back to DuPont by the little Bronfman, and got nine billion dollars in cash.

It just so happens that I have absorbed a lot of Apple stocks in my hands, and I have the opportunity to imitate the old Bronfman story!

But those are not enough to pose a threat to Jobs, not enough, at least the secondary market can’t buy so much.

Therefore, he must immediately launch an offensive against individual shareholders and institutions who hold a large number of Apple stocks!

Just like the record industry is full of grief and Apple’s iTunes store is just the right time, Apple shareholders are also greatly improving the company’s business conditions, but the stock price has remained low for a long time and is very dissatisfied. It is also a good opportunity to intervene!

But no matter Song Ya, Linton, or other subordinates, there is nothing that can establish contact with Apple’s extremely dispersed medium-sized shareholders in a short period of time.

so…

Under the flash of reporters, Song Ya tidied up his suit and walked into the press conference of the First Bank of New Jersey with a smile.

“Hello…”

He stretched out his hand early, UU read www.uukānshu. Com strode to a white man in his sixties and full of aura, “Mr. Amelio.”

“Haha, APLUS, just call me Jill.”

The other party laughed and shook his hands.

Gil Amelio, the former Apple CEO who was swept out by Steve Jobs, is also the CEO of First Bank of New Jersey who takes office today.

The two then held a handshake posture to accept the picture, which appeared on a TV screen on the West Coast. Jobs, who had become thinner and thinner, watched the scene without a word and touched the scum on his chin.

Across the distance across the United States, he and Song Ya looked at each other confidently on the screen.

As if there was an invisible breath that firmly locked the two people’s future, the eyes under Jobs’s lenses were narrowed, and the cold light flickered.
