All the STB companies have been planted, but it is not personal bankruptcy. The trio can still afford a small private jet. They contacted Apple while rushing. They just arrived at the airport and boarded the plane. The 757 landed with a huge A+.

The plane I took today belonged to Ross Private, and it was also the largest in the trio, but in contrast to the 757, it looked like a low and dilapidated little bungalow.

When the enemies met, the eyes of the three people who had been tossed by the STB bankruptcy crisis for a long time without a good night’s sleep became even more red. With dark circles under their eyes, Baba watched 757 sliding into the apron.

“I want to go and beat him up,” Rose said viciously.

“Forget it.”

Unlike Ross, as the best-skilled former CTO, 3DFX sincerely retained Scott. If he compromised back then, his net worth would be over 100 million. It is false to say no regrets, Scott said nothing. Angrily stunned the old brother: “Who beat up who? Go away…”

After Rose’s small plane took off, the three of them continued to stare at the 757 on the ground through the portholes. The enemy’s figure was not found, but they saw one after another fat black people walking down the boarding ladder.

Ross lowered his neck subconsciously and turned to close his eyes sadly.

“Humph…”

Mariah Carey appeared at the door of the cabin after her Bucket Aunt backing ensemble, first stood still and set up a pose, and then glanced at the black Mercedes-Benz caravan coming to pick up the plane.

“Mimi!”

Xun Sheng found the little ex-husband who was poking his head out from the back seat of one of the cars, and immediately pouted uncomfortably, and walked over unwillingly.

The back seat door was pushed open, and the little ex-husband smiled and leaned to the other side to make room.

“You don’t even bother to get off the car, right?” I got in and beat.

“Oh! There are so many people with mixed eyes, hehe…”

The little ex-husband hugs his arms affectionately, “Why have you come to Silicon Valley? Aw! Aw!”

“Can’t you come!?”

After a few slaps to establish her position, she changed her face a little better, but it was to the driver’s old Mike, “Hi, Mike.”

Old Mike smiled and exchanged greetings with her, started the car, and the convoy drove towards Song Ya’s new home in Palo Alto.

This white French mansion close to Stanford University and the heart of Silicon Valley has no long history. The 1,000-square-meter site was bought by Sun’s founder and chairman McNealy. It is a brand new self-built house. The small villa in the early years can no longer match Song. With the status of the sub-top rich, the 3DFX emperor does not need to go back and forth to Silicon Valley so low-key.

After Microsoft released strategic direct competition and suffered a stock market crash, SUN’s market value and situation have gone from bad to worse. While 3DFX issued its financial report, his family also issued last year’s financial report, with a huge loss of 500 million, which triggered another sharp drop in stock prices.

Money, the Silicon Valley tycoon McNealy himself is not lacking. Although his name has quietly disappeared from the global rich list last year, in business, he can’t say that he would be so careful to anger the black pharaoh who chose to join the Microsoft alliance. For high-priced purchases, he generously cut down one-third of this private land, and the two became neighbors from north to south.

“I fired both Sandy and Lee.”

This “small” house in the heart of Silicon Valley, which is very rich in land, cannot afford Mariah Carey, who owns 40 acres of Bedford Estate. She has only one top priority in her mind: renewing the contract and requesting the release of the draft. The renewal amount must not be less than Whitney Houston’s 100 million.

Even if it’s just the so-called 100 million, it’s very difficult to do in the current record industry that is shrouded in misery. Her agent, Sandy Glenn, is getting older and her connections are getting older. Initiated DIVA temper scramble.

Now she would communicate with herself beforehand on such major events. Song Ya simply asked her to fire the lawyer Li Phillips as well, just to take this opportunity to completely drive away David Geffen’s friends from his ex-wife and aunt.

This move triggered a new round of panic between David Geffen and Harvey Weinstein. They once again contacted and inquired through various means. Song Ya wanted this effect, and all went back to perfunctory and waited for the Oscars to meet. Say it again.

“The new president of Sony Columbia Records is even more picky than Rick Klubin.” She complained.

Riclubin was replaced by Howard Stringer, an outsider in the recording industry, and it was even more impossible to manage the company with the artist’s style. “If you don’t ask for such a high renewal fee, the Sixth Conference will break the head.” Song Ya advised her, “Mimi, we don’t have to compete with Whitney Houston. What do you think of her appearance in the past two years? She can’t even get half of the 100 million Alista Records.”

Whitney Houston showed a thin image at the MJ 30th Anniversary Concert before 9/11. The media tabloids began to pay attention to the suspicion of the DIVA. She almost admitted it in disguise when she was interviewed by ABC channel last year. Sales of new specialties at the end of the year were not good, and the momentum plummeted. Fans are already frantically attacking her husband Bobby Brown, who had been previously convicted of sucking in his early years, saying that Whitney had been taken away by him.

“Hmm, she plans to release a Christmas album this year too!”

The ex-wife is very tight about AllIWantForChristmasIsYou’s long-term Christmas song ticket. Whitney Houston is also sending out a special Christmas message, which makes her feel very crisis. Besides, DIVA’s career ups and downs are normal. Who knows that the other party will not be like Madonna. , Xue Er repeatedly turned red like that?

Who can tell the future clearly? In fact, her anxiety has some inherent thinking. Now young people will argue over the DIVA in the 1990s, who is the one who will control the DIVA. Britney and Christina Aguilera are the two. Popular focus, last year also appeared super newcomer Avril Lavigne, last month to dominate the Grammy four major categories and the best female pop singer award Norah Jones.

Norah Jones is the daughter of Indian music master Ravi Shankar, whose music has a profound influence on the Beatles and even the hippie generation in the West.

This year’s Grammys also nominated their 26 albums, including several awards for the best annual album. Song Ya still didn’t go, Grammys still didn’t give awards, Song Ya’s media still scolded them for three meals.

Ex-wife…not even better. The entertainment industry always replaces the new generation with the old.

Song Ya then asked, “Sony Columbia Records does not renew its contract…Which one is more sincere?”

“Humph!”

Speaking of this ex-wife, I was so angry, “I blame you! Few people in the recording industry don’t hate you! They bother me!”

“It’s not… Ow! Ow! Don’t make trouble! Wait for a lot of guests to come.”

The two of them went into the bedroom strumming around. Once they were alone, Mariah Carey’s attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees. She put down her bag and turned around and wrapped her little ex-husband’s neck, actively pouting her mouth.

“Well…”

Song Ya felt strange while lingering, what happened today? “What’s wrong?”

“that…”

She twisted to be a little girl, “Why don’t you just let Metropolis Records sign me? I’ll let you be my boss.” She winked and winked.

“Uh…”

“Okay, okay?” The ex-wife kindly sniffed from his neck to his chest like a small animal, and swayed and acted like a baby with her arms.

“Metropolis is also difficult now…”

Song Ya dare not tell the truth. Metropolis Records, which has artists such as Jazzy, Lincoln, Stupid Punk, Destiny, Alicia Keys, FoxyBrown, etc., is the record label with the best profitability in recent years. It’s difficult to get up, but someone else offers a contract that claims to be 100 million yuan to his ex-wife, and it is completely different from signing an ex-wife directly to a contract that may not even be executed for half of the money.

The one hundred million is replaced by oneself, if you dare to deduct the deductions, and wait for a violent beating from time to time!

That’s 100 million…

The two sides knew each other too well, “Huh!” The ex-wife instantly tore the disguise to restore her original appearance, “I knew it! I knew it! I can’t sell the record because I am not popular, right?! Scumbag! Awesome…”

“Aw! Aw! I can’t stand you!”

Song Ya bounced around and fled all the way, avoiding the ferocious iron hoof she was kicking while crying.

“Hello…”

But when the guests came one after another, the ex-wife changed her face again, wearing a red evening gown, and wearing that old-fashioned dress gauze, standing gracefully beside her little ex-husband.

“Hello…Ms. Kelly.”

“It’s an honor to meet you, Ms. Kelly.”

The tech heroes of Silicon Valley were a little restrained and normal when they met DIVA here. After all, what about the ex-husband and ex-wife, but what about the new actress Laura Lemsey that I saw when I came here yesterday? Well, it’s better not to ask.

‘Hello, Moto…’

At this moment, the classic Motorola mobile phone advertising slogan came out in the lobby behind. Mariah Carey turned on the radar and immediately turned back to turn off the TV.

Motorola returned to the GSM camp after going through the detours of the Iridium plan. The V70 mobile phone with a unique screw-cap design released last year has been sold globally, bringing its mobile phone department back to the industry’s first camp in one fell swoop.

But this is not the point. Motorola’s mobile phone spokesperson is Madonna who is not dealing with his ex-wife.

“Don’t shut it down, we’ll see it later.”

Song Ya quickly took the remote control back and turned it on again.

“Humph!”

The arm flesh was twisted again, “Please sit down.” Song Ya smiled reluctantly, and continued to greet the guests.

Today is the day when Apple released the iTunes Music Store. Song Ya and the guests sat down one after another, preparing to watch and make real-time judgments.

Before the opening, he cast his eyes on the youngest white man in the room, only in his early twenties, Sean Fanning, the founder of Napster.

After a period of temptation and contact, he and Jeffrey Hawkins chose Fanning from the two founders of the same name in Napster, and abandoned another Sean, Sean Parker.

The reason is that after the failure of Napster, Fanning still chose to stay in the industry that combines recording and the Internet. His start-up company SNOCAP has just started the study of P2P songs through digital registration and digital certificate distribution to conduct legal sales, which coincides with Beats’s plan to follow suit. The idea of ​​the iTunes Music Store coincides.

On the other hand, Parker, the other founder, did not “revert evil and return to righteousness”, and is still maintaining Napster’s behavioral style. He got the green shirt and other angel investment and is doing online contact software. The main promotion methods are through spam and viruses. Various trap links spread to the Internet to deceive users to download, and then deceive investors with a good number of users.

After investigation, Parker’s own living habits are relatively public and depraved, and he is naturally rejected by Song Ya, who advocates honest management.

Therefore, Song Ya asked Jeffrey Hawkins to acquire Fanning’s startup SNOCAP at a high premium through Beats parent company HandSpring.

And because SNOCAP’s earlier angel investor was a well-known Silicon Valley timely rain, Ron Conway, who has invested in Internet companies such as Napster, Google, and PayPal, and Ron Conway, who chose to retain his shares in SNOCAP, also came today.

Ron Conway is accompanied by his friend, Netscape founder Mark Anderson. The others are Jeffrey Hawkins and his old partner Donna Dubinsky, who has been starting a business together since the Palm era. Donna is currently the CEO of Beats. She also worked for Apple in the early years. For a while.

And William Zhang, the CEO of the new Goto search engine company, and Terry Beard, the founder of DTS, a real big tech industry leader.

“Has Warner Records joined?” Terry Beard asked.

“Yes, compromise before the last minute.” Song Ya replied.

The Warner Records management still didn’t resist, and they can’t be blamed. Disney Records, which has the closest relationship with itself, joined Apple’s iTunes music store plan early. “Where is your SNOCAP? Have you talked with major record companies? “He asked Fanning.

“I talked about it, but I was rejected. My reputation with them…not very good.”

Napster almost ruined the record industry at its peak, Fanning replied shyly.

Song Ya and Jeffrey Hawkins looked at each other, and it was their responsibility to talk to the six major record companies in the future. SNOCAP and Fanning could just hide behind the scenes and concentrate on the technology.

Before the stock market crash, Napster was very popular. Although Fanning had not been able to IPO from the beginning to the end, Fanning had seen the world. With the help of angel investor and Silicon Valley tycoon Ron Conway, the acquisition of SNOCAP Song Ya had to be replaced by them. A small amount of HandSpring and Beats shares are bundled.

“here we go.”

The Apple conference was held on time. It was still Steve Jobs’s consistent style, with a minimalist design, a large screen, and a three-piece suit, namely, Issey Miyake black round neck shirt, Levi’s jeans, and New Balance shoes.

Jobs valued the iTunes music store around the iPod ecosystem: iTunesStore. He changed his usual slow-spoken introduction and kept throwing concepts, comparisons, and introductions from the beginning. Soon, he showed the record companies that support music stores, such as Universal, Sony Columbia, Warner, Disney, BMG, EMI. LOGO appeared in the same freeze frame.

Song Ya gritted her teeth silently and moved her **** on the sofa.

Ron Conway quietly focused his attention on the black pharaoh who had never dealt with before. Speaking of which, this young hybrid has invested in the Internet industry since Mark Anderson and Jim Clark founded Netscape, and is older than his own qualifications in Silicon Valley. Woolen cloth!

He noticed this little movement, and asked: “The Big Six will also support Beats’ music stores, right?”

“It’s not a big problem.” The Big Six can’t give Apple a monopoly. “But we have to make the software first. It’s up to Sean…” He smiled at Fanning.

Fanning stared at the TV screen with great pressure. Up to now, the true appearance of the iTunes music store has not appeared.

“Universal Music is okay?” Ron Conway has naturally heard of the grievances between Pharaoh Black and Universal.

“Business is business.” Song Ya replied.

Doug Morris, the president of Universal Music, has long bet on long positions. It’s definitely okay. Ron Meyer, president of the parent company, Universal Entertainment, is very cunning and unwilling to offend people for no reason. The family doesn’t make trouble from it.

However, after reporting huge losses for two consecutive years, CEO Messier was ousted, and Bronfman Jr. lost his influence. The attitude of the new leadership should change.

At this time, the main page of the iTunes music store appeared on the big screen. Everyone leaned forward and tried their best to observe every detail.

“The interface does not seem to be fundamentally different from the early iTunes!” Fan Ning said excitedly.

“Yes, there are more albums and single covers, as well as some songs, artist profiles, and tags.”

Apple seems to have brought out an old soup, the software interface has not changed much from the previous version of iTunes, and the new music store is more colorful.

iTunes has always been difficult to use, and everyone feels that there may be a chance to overtake in a curve.

Jobs was probably aware of this, and the subsequent explanation ceased to be religiously lyrical uncharacteristically, and became very detailed. He covered almost all functions, and the total duration seemed to be close to an hour.

“Huh…” Song Ya breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that Apple would bring out a brand-new and revolutionary thing like the original iPod. Now it seems to be overly worrying.

But now the problem is that others do not have it! Even according to Fanning’s previous plan, it will take at least half a year for the new Beats music store, which integrates SNOCAP digital certificate technology and Napster user interface, to achieve the rich functions similar to iTunes.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously slurped.

“Maybe we can directly use the website to achieve these.”

William Zhang knows what the boss is worried about, “Just like in the later stage, users don’t need to download and install a new software, and they can log in and operate their own music library directly using IE browser. Just like Beats website users manage their own song reviews, We can even give a link to let users directly check the album ratings, instead of a simple introduction and tag.”

“It can also get through with HandSpring’s PDA and smartphone.” Jeffrey Hawkins said.

“It’s like buying a book on Amazon.” Ron Conway said.

“IE has security issues and can easily be cracked and downloaded illegally.” Mark Anderson is still full of resentment towards Microsoft.

“Yes, then the record companies would be very angry with us. Apple chose to do this. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com would rather be troublesome for a reason.” Terry Beard nodded.

“My digital certificate technology is okay.” Fanning said: “Now that pirated music can be downloaded everywhere, why do users take a detour, cracking the original is so troublesome…Most people can’t even delete songs to free up hard drive space.”

The big guys listened to Jobs on the TV and brainstormed every word.

The ex-wife has fallen asleep on the sofa.

“and many more!”

Donna Dubinsky, who had been silent at this time, frowned, “Wait! Jobs just said that this software supports Windows?”

“Maybe not.”

“No…”

“I didn’t hear it.”

Everyone looked at each other, “No? Now Apple Computer’s market share may be less than 5%… and it is widely used in work scenes in the record, film, and publishing industries. Who will install this on the company’s computer?”

“Really?” Song Ya instantly sat upright, his eyes brightened.

When Jobs introduced the software update, everyone was finally sure! This broken gadget only supports Apple’s own OS!

“Hahaha!”

A joyous laugh broke out in the room.
