Chicago 1990 - Chapter 1490

“Kutaragi went to see Jobs! Howard Stringer must have operated it!”

The meeting between the CEO of Sony and the CEO of Apple was considered a major industry news. Song Ya quickly learned of the news. As Howard Stringer was also present at the meeting, he immediately became vigilant, “Sony is still quoting MGM with Comcast. This time, the Roberts family greeted me in advance! Howard Stringer is weaving a new big net again!”

“You can’t jump out against Sony like the last time Paulson or Jobs teamed up! The outside world doesn’t know what fundamental contradiction is between you and Howard Stringer, and you will cause the shooting behind the scenes. Human alertness!”

Sloan looked at Song Ya, who was walking quickly back and forth like a cat with fried hair, and exhorted: “And the meeting between Ken Kutaragi and Jobs does not mean that he is going to be against you. In the battle for the new Blu-ray DVD format, Sony It belongs to the same camp as Apple.”

“I don’t care about Blu-ray DVD…”

Song Ya has nothing to annoy or mix in the Blu-ray dispute. Its 3DFX naturally belongs to the Microsoft camp. There is no way. 3DFX is waiting to be fed. It is waiting for the 3D chip order of Microsoft’s next-generation game console XBOX360. This time, Microsoft Still the enemy of Sony, they support Toshiba’s main HD-DVD format, against the BD camp of companies such as Sony.

The victory or defeat is unpredictable… But the last time the DVD format battle was defeated by Sony.

“Calm down! APLUS!” Sloan snarled, “Comcast has taken into account your feelings this time. We can’t always play the threatening move! You have enough enemies!”

“The boss of MGM Las Vegas tycoon Kecorian is not easy to provoke. I can’t play with MGM, who has suffered huge losses for years. Don’t care. Comcast wants to follow Sony to jump into the pit and let them. Jump away… MGM is too complicated. It is estimated that a consortium that can manage it hasn’t been born yet.”

Song Ya calmed down a bit. After all, Comcast had the channel resources of ACE. Sloan was right. He had enough enemies, and he couldn’t always make trouble and consume the patience of the Roberts family, and last time Threatened to go to the next home: John Malone is also impossible to cooperate with himself again and again, “but we must warn Jobs, a clear warning.”

“Because of what? Just because Jobs met Ken Kutaragi and Howard Stringer? Don’t forget, you bought Sony convertible bonds for 500 million dollars.”

Sloan complained: “You know Jobs’s character better than me. The warning will only be counterproductive.”

“Then don’t warn, let’s take action! Time flickers in July, and the finals will be played at the next Disney shareholders meeting next year…”

Song Ya picked up the landline microphone and said, “Take Dr. Chen.”

“We will buy more than 5% of Apple’s shares. It must be publicized. Boss, do you still have some copyright and asset management companies, right?” Dr. Chen asked after receiving his order.

“Well, two percent.”

Copyright and asset management companies use their own personal money, most of which are purchased from the open market. The first investment bank-related fund managed by Dr. Chen uses investor money.

“Apple’s stock price has been rising. It is now two yuan and four, and it is standing in front of the tens of billions of market value.”

Dr. Chen said: “Under the leadership of Jobs, the market outlook is also very promising. It is already difficult for us to buy stocks from small and medium shareholders and institutions in the primary market.”

“Amelio definitely still has a relationship with Apple. His professional managers always like to keep a hand…”

Song Ya thought for a while, “I’ll give him some pressure.”

“APLUS, First Bank and Investment Bank are currently only small players in the financial industry.”

Sensing the pressure, Amelio slowed down and reminded every word: “You know how difficult the operation of the First Bank is made by the people in New Jersey. You have also read those reports. I finally got too slow. Slowly straighten out…”

“I know, I know, you did a great job Jill.”

Song Ya praised him a few words, “I need to make the first investment bank’s Apple stock more than 5% in a short period of time, more than a little bit enough for the placard, and the funds in the first investment bank are enough.”

“Now? It’s difficult, Apple’s stock price has…”

“I will cooperate with you.” Song Ya interrupted him strongly.

‘Palm has just released its financial report for the first half of 2004. The data shows that due to the hot sales of its new Tero650 smartphone and the second-generation Beats music player, as well as benefiting from the gradual expansion of the Beimi franchise store layout, Palm Both revenue and profit have simultaneously reversed the huge loss in 2003 and have seen rapid growth…’

Affected by this news, Palm’s stock price rose sharply, while rival Apple’s stock price suffered a small drop for the first time this year…

‘New Jersey’s No. 1 Investment Bank has just issued a public announcement that its Apple shares have exceeded 5% and reached 5.1%. ’

On August 1, 2004, under Amelio’s public relations drill, his friend, the manager of an organization, paid off the premium of Apple’s stock in his hands, and the buyer was naturally the related fund of the first investment bank.

Then Apple’s stock price also rose sharply.

But Jobs frowned.

In fact, Song Ya misjudged, the technical madman Kutaragi Ken is still a little less sensitive to the US shopping malls. Last time he simply wanted to meet with Jobs, the iconic tech hero. He took the initiative to say that Howard Stringer was naturally happy to see it.

“He broke the tacit understanding first.”

But it didn’t matter. Jobs was furious. A young billionaire who switched from the entertainment industry officially sounded the clarion call to attack the company he created and saved. He couldn’t tolerate it. “We must give a clear response.” He Touch your chin, “First choose a small battlefield.”

‘Apple’s official offer to earphone manufacturer Mosound Company…’

“We must reject Apple’s acquisition.”

The Mosheng Headphone Company is not expensive, but Song Ya did not buy it, just to ensure the Beats headphone product line of the same name that the Beats Walkman cooperates with Mosheng, and let Beats strategically hold some shares and a board of directors.

There are so many suppliers of Walkman components, it is impossible to buy them all one by one.

“Their offer is very tempting.”

Noel, the owner, president and founder of Mosound Headphones parent company Mosound Wire, has received Apple’s offer and now sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. “Are you planning to join the competition APLUS?”

“No, Apple is targeting Beats. We can’t fight against Apple in order to keep every component supplier.” Song Ya expressed his attitude.

“Then I can’t help it.”

Noel Lee is also of Chinese descent. In business, Beats is certainly the largest buyer of Magic Sound headphones, but Apple’s pricing also includes the integration of its own products into the supply chain, and Apple’s iPod sales and Beats are not at the same order of magnitude. of.

“I remember that your shares in the Magic Sound Headphone Company are very scattered, right?”

The black Pharaoh Hidden Jifeng’s inquiry came from the earphones, “Yes.” Noel Lee replied in the affirmative, “But I think I need to remind you, Beats earphone product line and BeatsByDr.Dre high-end headset products The cord is one of the main selling points of your Walkman.”

“OK.”

“Then see you on the headphone company board?”

“I might not go in person, Donna.”

Jobs’ counterattack was swift and fierce, and Song Ya’s mobility was also very strong, and he flew to Los Angeles immediately.

Because it was Derry’s idea to make this kind of headphones, Song Ya later brought him into the scene to compensate Derry. However, Iowen, the record owner of Universal’s record label, the parent company of Derry Records, learned the news from Derry. Also proposed to join, Iowen and Derui bought a lot of stocks of Magic Sound Headphones, both of which are directors.

After Derry took out Eminem, Iowen’s career has been smooth in recent years, and he has recently taken over as the president of AandM, a veteran record label under Universal.

According to the current board of directors of Mosound Headphones, taking Iowen Gadri is almost enough to block this wave of Apple’s acquisition offensive.

“David, how are you doing lately?”

Iowen was led by David Geffen’s discovery, so this time Song Ya asked David Geffen as a middleman, and also met David Geffen first, “Harvey got Katzenberg?”

“Ha ha.”

Stabbed to the pain by Song Ya, David Geffen sneered uncomfortably. His plan to tie Katzenberg to DreamWorks was frustrated. Under the temptation of lead party Harvey and Disney, Katzenberg insisted on letting him Its animation department takes the initiative before this great opportunity to return to Disney. Therefore, Katzenberg intends to separate the animation department of DreamWorks first and form DreamWorks Animation Company to prepare for the replacement of Pixar’s position in Disney.

David Geffen is naturally unacceptable, but another partner, the great director Spielberg, has an ambiguous attitude, which makes David Geffen and Katzenberg completely fall out. There are now a few fellow travelers on both sides, and they don’t even talk. said.

“DreamWorks Animation replaced Pixar… would you like to see it too?” he asked rhetorically.

“Yes.”

That means that Jobs’ Pixar animation will definitely leave. Song Ya is certainly happy to see it, but the three parties will also be out of balance at the same time. “Of course, what I want most is to see Disney buy DreamWorks as a whole.”

“I also hope, but now it seems that the possibility is getting lower and lower.”

David Geffen’s best decision at the moment is naturally to force Katzenberg to be acquired by Disney along with his animation department, but Katzenberg’s unexpected decisive attitude put him into a dilemma. Hollywood tycoon and four billionaire, he doesn’t want to endure the collapse of the Big Three and is seen by the outside world as a mangy dog ​​crying and clinging to Katzenberg’s thigh.

“Harvey knows you too much.” Song Ya said.

“Your provocative method is not proficient in APLUS.” David Geffen vomited, and then he laughed first.

Song Ya originally used Yangmou, “I will go back and practice more.”

The two laughed together, when the target person appeared, “Mr. Geffen, APLUS.” Iowen walked over quickly and shook hands with the two.

“Have you heard?” Song Ya went straight in.

“Your investment bank raised a placard to Apple, and then Apple started chasing the magic voice, your headset supplier.”

Iowen has always been known for his “honest and cruel” quality in the recording industry. He has played an important behind-the-scenes role in the history of gang rap East Coast Wars, Death Row Records, and Derry’s Aftermath Records. He speaks in front of the two top rich Also very happy, “But APLUS, Beats can’t bear to lose the magic sound.”

“I can bear it. Mosheng has no control over related brands such as Beats. It is more like an OEM for me.”

Song Ya will not be blackmailed by him.

“But the magic sound manufacturing is the main selling point of your Walkman headphones.” Iowen said the same thing as Noel Lee.

“So what? It will be held hostage by a supplier and what other consumer electronics products are there.”

Song Ya shrugged indifferently.

“What can Dray and I get?” Iowen asked for a quote.

“Where’s Derry?”

The opponent is very shrewd, but Derry is more emotional and can speak better, Song Ya looks for people everywhere.

“He has his own troubles, you know, Sugonite has killed the red eye.” Iowen replied: “He has let me be the plenipotentiary representative of this business.”

“When will you open the board of directors?” David Geffen helped Iowen beat the drum.

Song Ya raised her wrist and glanced at the perpetual calendar on her watch, “Just next week.”

“Then our time is running out.” Iowen said.

He said ‘us’ as if everyone was on one side, but in fact it was an implicit threat. Song Ya raised his eyelids and glanced at him, “Even if I don’t get what I want on the board of directors next week, there are other ways.”

The big deal is the ability to issue money again. Although the cash has been spent almost for the time being, the withdrawal from the Madoff Fund early next year will be reserved for the acquisition of Warner Music.

“Don’t forget, I only wanted to bring Derry into the game.” You, Derry’s boss, followed him to invest, Song Ya warned him.

“Iowen, everyone is his own, and Jobs is just to counter APLUS’s attack on Apple. How sincere he is in treating the Magic Voice headset.” David Geffen turned to help Song Ya speak, “Don’t be so easily provoked. NS.”

“I know.”

His face Iowen wants to sell, “So, APLUS, Derry and I have a favor and need your help.”

“Please say……”

‘A+ Entertainment bought a reportage-style work that tells the history of West Coast bandit rap: “Out of Compton”, and intends to start shooting in the near future…’

Already in name only, in the death row record that survived only on the old record royalties of 2PAC, Derry, Snoop Dogg and others, Sugnet and his followers happened to see a piece of news, and he frowned.

‘The story begins with the ruthless record group NWA. It is based on the life experiences of boys in the Compton neighborhood such as Eazy-E, Dre, and Es Cube. story……’

“Have you read that novel?” Sugnet asked his men.

The classmates looked at each other blankly, and then all shook their heads.

“A bunch of trash.” He picked up the phone and called the middleman who could contact Song Ya.

“Dre and Escobe’s money is basically their self-praise.”

Song Ya deliberately asked back: “You? I don’t know, and I haven’t read that novel. Do you think they will have any kind words for you?”

“SHXT!”

Sugernet was caught. He consulted in advance, and he probably figured out what Drey and Es Cube want to do. Splash me with dirty water… Two traitors! Where are they?”

“On the set, Es Cube prefers that his best friend Gary Gray directs this movie.” Song Ya reported the address of the location of the location rented by A+ Entertainment.

“let’s go!”

Fighting with the bragging daddy has reached a new peak. Sugonite, who has rich experience in gang fighting, usually doesn’t go anywhere, and is shrunk like a mouse in his death row record. This “Out of Compton” involves When he reached his reputation, he couldn’t bear it, and immediately pulled up the team and rushed straight to the studio.

“They’re here.” Derry’s follower saw the lights of the team getting closer and closer. “Where are the people from Escobe?”

“They are not coming.”

Escobe was very shrewd. He and Sugonite didn’t have any big conflicts. They shrank when they smelled something wrong. In this ambush, only Derry’s own attendant was the only one.

No one knows whether Sugnet, who has been madly killed, will act next to himself, a traitor to death row records, and Drey must preemptively.

But he is not a real gangster himself, even one of the few honest people in the circle. The courageous follower who has always been brave enough is similar to the’master’. When a series of door opening and closing sounds sounded, he was wearing a blood gang red sweater. The burly Su Ge When Knight’s gang rushed toward the gate of the studio like ferociousness, they were all persuaded, swallowing saliva, their legs shaking.

Derry saw it in his eyes and was anxious. Fortunately, today APLUS also supported several real bandits from Chicago. They were ambushed on both sides of the studio gate, and their pistols were also loaded.

“Stop! Something is wrong…”

Unexpectedly, Sugonite suddenly wanted to realize something before he entered the door. Perhaps it was because the outside of the set was too quiet or the inside of the set was pitch dark. He raised his hand to stop the attendants from entering, and stood there to observe for a few seconds before suddenly He shouted: “Let’s get out of here! Hurry up!” Then he dragged the lame leg injured by the bragging father, and turned around and ran towards his car.

“Don’t let him run!” Derry who saw this scene yelled in the dark in horror, and he pushed his attendants and the Chicago Gunners outward.

Sugnet will inevitably retaliate if he ran today, with endless troubles.

“Derui and Iowen will support us. If there are no major accidents, you don’t have to worry about this magic sound headset board…”

Song Ya is sending Beats president Donna Dubinski and her party to the plane, “come as planned.”

“Okay, how did you handle them? Boss.” Donna asked.

“It’s nothing more than doing some transactions…” Song Yayun shrugged lightly.

“this……”

But Sugnett still ran away, but a dramatic follower who was rolling and wailing on the ground was left behind~www.mtlnovel.com~ He accidentally knocked down his follower when reversing, and he didn’t care about it. Take it away, “What do we do now?” Derry called Iowen in a panic.

“It’s okay, just call the police, and that’s fine.”

Iowen calmly taught him what to do next, “You immediately unify your confession with your classmates, and say…Oh, yes, in my plan, living people can’t do it.”

‘Death-row record owner Sugnet was involved in a murder case again. Recently, he was arrested by the Los Angeles police on suspicion of driving and hitting someone to death and escaping. According to multiple witnesses, when Sugonite returned from a Hollywood location that night, he deliberately knocked down a person who offended him and drove him down, causing him to be seriously injured and eventually died after being sent to the hospital… ‘

“Fxxk…”

The next day, Sugnet, who was hiding in his nest, was arrested again by the police. The familiar silver bracelet returned to his wrist, cursing and being pushed by the police to the flashlights of the reporters outside the door.

“Remember what happened after Disney rejected Comcast’s offer? If we miss this opportunity to be acquired by Apple, we will probably regret it like Disney shareholders in the future!”

On the board of directors of Mosound Headphones, Chairman Noel Lee delivered an impassioned speech.

“It doesn’t make sense for the other party to make an offer for the first time. Let’s lower our heads? The magic sound headset is worth a better price.” Donna said.

“Yeah!” The director on behalf of Derui rattled and agreed.

“Then vote, and those who veto the takeover raise their hands.”

The directors expressed their opinions one after another. Noel Lee counted his raised hands and said helplessly: “Well, we reject Apple’s first round of offers.”
