Chicago 1990

"Haha! Zhang, early..."

Song Ya does not own 100% of the new Goto company. In addition to the 20% of Goto shares he retained, he probably got 500 million dollars in cash from the transaction with YAHOO, and re-owned 2.5% of YAHOO. Shares.

CEO William Zhang and the original founder of Goto and other company executives, senior programmers, etc. also instantly transformed into billions, tens of millions, and millionaires of all sizes.

When Song Yada, who had lost control, received a call from William Zhang, who was no longer his subordinate, early in the morning, there seemed to be an all-night party, "Yes, I am going to Tokyo today, I wish you a happy life in the new company!"

He generously congratulated the other party.

Under the situation where Goto all hope to be taken care of by YAHOO, letting go at the right time is a happy choice for everyone.

And this time, YAHOO is indeed generous, as if returning to the arrogant and unparalleled industry leader when Mark Cuban’s Broadcast website was taken down by 6 billion before the stock market crash.

However, CEO Terry Semel’s choice was not a big problem. The subsequent positive reaction of the capital market also proved this point. The patent moat jointly developed by YAHOO and Goto can be fatal to strategic competitors who are in the preparatory stage of IPO. hit.

Song Ya himself also needs more cash to go to Tokyo to deal with Sony.

"Beats website..."

The biggest problem after William Zhang followed Goto to YAHOO was the original American music website. Now Beats has no boss. It can afford the arduous tasks of Beats Walkman production and music store. William Zhang recommended the young Napster founder Sean Fanning to take it. Too Daquan, also promised to continue to allocate time to help, until the official release of version 1.0 of the Music Store in October, and then completely separated from the work relationship.

"OK, you guys keep playing."

While chatting, a delicate body gently wrapped around from behind, Song Yaluo hung up after saying a few words, and turned his arm around Charisy.

Then Mira also opened her emerald eyes.

While still resting in Begonia, Halle and Jenny, who will finally enter the Catwoman and Sahara crews respectively, begin to sleep in a hazy and changeable sleeping position, half asleep and half awake.

In order to live up to this rare beauty and glory, Song Ya played up a bit of energy.

"Schelin insisted on helping Twilight to publish..."

The departure time was approaching, and he pulled Jenny up from the weak four girls mentally and physically, and got up with clothes on together, "You remember to let Litman Publishing take the right to make the film by the way."

"Why? Do you trust her eyes more?"

Jenny had previously stated that she didn't catch a cold with that book, and was a little bit offended by the choice of men, "Her historical record is not so good..."

"Whee!"

Just say that she was a box office poison. Song Ya was amused, "Get her something to do."

"Oh! Bran, what a beautiful boy."

The two were frolicking out, Jenny saw Xue Linfen holding the baby, and immediately changed her face, went to her to pick up the little Baby, and praised her enthusiastically.

Little Bran is really beautiful, like a quiet girl when she falls asleep, Song Ya teased her cute little cheek with her fingers for a while, and she liked it more and more. The Twilight City project should be given to Xuelin Fen gave birth to his gift for herself, but it's a big deal to lose some money.

"Jenny, have you signed with the Twilight Saga author?" Xue Linfen asked Jenny anxiously.

"Negotiating, soon."

Jenny took a look at the man who was blinking her eyes quietly, showing the look of please, and answered Xue Linfen as she pleased, "However, once the contract is signed, the author will not continue to serialize on the station. Please start preparing the paper. Publication... it will take a long time, and it will not be until the end of next year at the earliest."

"Ah? Can Litman Publishing regularly send me deposits?"

Xue Linfen is now chasing after the book and is fascinated, and immediately becomes nervous when she hears Jenny's words, "I can't wait that long."

Song Ya stood behind Xue Linfen and nodded at Jenny.

"Okay, but don't leak unpublished manuscripts." Jenny also obediently agreed.

"No, no, I have been a producer for so many years..." Xue Linfen was happy, patted her **** and promised.

Jia Zhai He Ning and Song Ya were also very satisfied. While waiting for the entourage to pack up and set off, he saw local Los Angeles player Kobe Bryant on the TV.

Earlier this month, the darling of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, was arrested on suspicion of **** a waitress in Eagle County, Colorado. Bryant has always had a good public image and is the NBA player who wants to become Jordan's successor.

The Eagle County incident quickly caused a global sensation.

Now Kobe has paid a bail and is running around the court under the chase of countless reporters, very embarrassed.

"Adidas and Apple just announced their temporary termination of contract with him." Xue Linfen gossips.

"Um."

Of course, these Song Ya know that R Kelly, MJ, and now Kobe again, this year black stars have become the focus of the scandal one after another, which has caused black people such as Jesse Jackson and others to become more vigilant and regard it as an abnormal phenomenon.

To a certain extent, these three cases were suddenly bound by the tone of the black community's conspiracy theory, and Jesse Jackson rushed from them to appeal. Now black Americans do not want to lose any of them, so it is good for R Kelly and MJ.

"I am leaving."

Song Ya saw Linda's car appear at the door, pinched the cheeks of Xuelin and Jenny, kissed them and said goodbye.

This time he went to Tokyo and prepared a large and top-notch team, including Linda from the recording industry, Donna Dubinski, CEO of Beats, Amelio, CEO of First Bank of New Jersey, as well as those who just dug 3DFX from Sega, such as IBM and DC. Ryutaro Yamamoto, who has worked in the game console project, will also be responsible for the accompanying translation work.

Of course, Littman Media CEO Sloan is indispensable.

The style of the billionaires must be strengthened, even if it is just for the ‘small business’ authorized by the music copyright library, boasting in front of the subordinates that they have been responsible for the deal before October, and they must be dealt with on time, and every day will lose their share!

"I am very busy with APLUS."

Except for Linda who came to pick up someone like Xue Linfen, everyone else was already waiting on the 757. While Sloan was dealing with official duties on the plane, he showed reluctance, "Is it necessary to pull me up?"

"Hey...Sony is also shrinking, selling, and laying off employees. Maybe it's getting a good business while talking?"

In fact, Song Ya, who hadn't been back to Chicago for a long time, really missed her a bit. The hippie smiled and stretched out the file in front of her, "Just give yourself a vacation."

"I'm not as free as you." Sloan coldly pulled the file back to its original position.

"APLUS!" The two were bickering, and a scent of fragrant breeze suddenly appeared next to them, and then Song Ya was hugged.

"Rashida? You... don't you have to host a hip-hop contest?"

Song Ya was taken aback when Rashida's pointed chin vixen stunned her face.

"There is a schedule conflict between the judges, so the two issues of the quotation in advance, I haven't worked recently!" Rashida slapped his face in front of everyone.

"I asked him to help me when he comes. Recently, the OpenDiary website needs to compete with competitors for the signing of some young stars in the entertainment industry." Sloan explained.

"Who?"

"Paris Hilton, Britney, mainly these two." Sloan replied.

They are all big stars of entertainment tabloids and Internet gossip. Needless to say, Britney Spears, Shinco DIVA, currently the hottest and most topical female singer, and Super Boy member Justin Timberlake’s pair of golden boys and girls It is undoubtedly the top flow of gossip.

Celebrity Paris Hilton is the queen of the new topic, with all kinds of strange traffic.

"Oh, do you need to **** people now?" Song Ya asked.

"The good days are back again." Sloan smiled helplessly.

Indeed, the good days before the stock market crash seem to have come back, and blog sites have gradually become more funded, but with it, competition has intensified again. After all, the technical threshold for this industry is too low.

"Can you show me around here?"

Rashida is now extremely grateful to Sloan who helped create opportunities for herself, and hurriedly wanted to pull the man into the only bedroom on the 757, and live in a rare two-person world.

"Uh... I have to have a meeting first, a meeting."

After a long trans-Pacific flight, the 757 slowly landed in Tokyo.

After a one-night rest, after adjusting the jet lag, Song Ya led the team to the Sony headquarters, and the chairman Nobuyuki Idei hosted him personally.

A group of people visited Sony's product hall, took a group photo, had a work meal in the internal restaurant, and finally entered the meeting room. Sony arranged for the whole process to be videotaped.

Sitting in the middle of the long conference table, on the left is Benzi, the most famous former Apple CEO, Amelio, and on the right is the guest translator Ryutaro Yamamoto. On the opposite side, apart from Nobuyuki Idei, there are some familiar Sony executives, CEO Kutaragi has not appeared.

Song Ya trancefully recalled the scene when he kept talking in the conference room of Sony North Mi headquarters, trying to bring down Motula...

It's a pity that Gao Shu, the witness at the time, has nowhere to go, and seems to have long since lost his job in Sony's internal office struggle.

And now, Sony’s lineup for the meeting has respected itself very much, and there has been no chance for a long time to recollect the heavy pressure that year.

Of course, never aftertaste the best...

The shutter sound stopped, and the photo reporters crept to take pictures were invited out of the conference room, and the negotiation officially began.

"Did you sleep well? Mr. APLUS."

"It's okay, jet lag is more difficult. Where is Mr. Kutaragi, are you free?"

"Yes, he has too many management tasks to be busy right now."

After the polite remarks, Donna Dubinsky is responsible for explaining her intentions.

"Uh, it's such APLUS. I understand that you want to obtain authorization from our music copyright company, but Sony has its own management discipline. This business should be handled by Mr. Howard Stringer. He is in New York. You don't have to Stay near and seek far."

Nobuyuki Idei said after listening to Donna's speech.

He still maintains Howard Stringer, in order to balance Ken Kutaragi, who has just taken the CEO position from him.

"Howard Stringer rejected us."

Song Ya replied: "After you gave Apple the license and the other five major record companies have agreed to license the copyright library to Beats, I personally think that this decision is very unwise, and it is not very understandable to us."

"I believe his decision is based on his own business strategy considerations."

Those who can speak English in the book speak English as much as possible. There are very few times when Yamamoto's translation is needed. Sitting at the end of the long conference table, Rashida, who is in charge of the record, sits in great danger and writes rustlingly.

APLUS: "So I hope that today's meeting can promote the cooperation between you and me, business, there is nothing that can't be discussed."

Idei: "Of course."

APLUS: "What can we exchange and get authorization?"

Idei: "We haven't considered this issue for the time being, and we need to hold an internal meeting for discussion."

Amelio: "For example, we noticed that you will issue 2.5 billion US dollars of convertible bonds in December, and we are willing to subscribe for some."

The Japanese negotiators were slightly upset and exchanged opinions in a low voice for a while.

Idei: "If you have studied our announcement, this convertible bond will be issued in Euros and Japanese Yen."

Amelio: "That's not an obstacle."

Sloan: "Did you deliberately guard against U.S. capital by doing this?"

Idei: "I'm worrying too much, there's nothing like that."

Sloan: "How is the current subscription situation?"

Idei: "Very optimistic."

Amelio: "I heard that Typhon Capital of the United Kingdom intends to buy a large sum~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The founder Mr. Guy Hanz is a former executive of Nomura Securities."

Idei: "Sorry, this question is not easy to answer."

APLUS: "The CELL processor project you are cooperating with IBM costs a lot, right?"

Idei: "This project is under the responsibility of CEO Kutaragi Jianquan."

APLUS: "Will it be used on future PS3 game consoles?"

Idei: "I'm sorry again, I'm not sure, you can ask Kutaragi Ken."

APLUS: "I know that Mr. Kutaragi usually only asks about the affairs of the entertainment department. The main purpose of my visit to you this time is to help the Beats Music Store get the song authorization."

Idei: "We believe in Mr. Stringer's judgment..."
