The first thousand four hundred and ninetieth chapters the battle of magic voice(1/2)

"Katagami Ken went to see Jobs! It must have been operated by Howard Singer!"

The meeting between Sony CEO and Apple CEO is a relatively important industry news. Song Ya soon learned the news. Since Howard Singer was also present at the same time, he immediately became alert, "Sony is still quoting MGM with Comcast. This time the Roberts family greeted me in advance! Howard Singer is weaving a new big net!"

"You can't jump out to fight Sony like when Paulson or Jobs joined forces last time! The outside world doesn't know what fundamental conflicts you have with Howard Singer, as soon as you move, it will alert the people behind the shooting!"

Sloan looked like a furry cat, walking back and forth quickly in front of him, and exhorted loudly: "And Ken Kutaragi and Jobs meet not meant to target you. In the battle for the new Blu-ray DVD format, Sony and Apple belong to the same camp."

"I don't care about Blu-ray DVD..."

Song Ya has nothing to bother with or get involved in the Blu-ray battle. Its 3DFX naturally belongs to the Microsoft camp. There is no way, 3DFX is waiting for the 3D chip order of Microsoft's next-generation game console X-wave X360. This time Microsoft is still Sony's enemy. They support the HD-DVD format promoted by Toshiba to fight against the BD camp of Sony and other companies.

The victory or defeat is unpredictable... But the last DVD format battle was Sony that lost.

"Calm down! AP reveals S!" Sloan scolded: "This time Comcast has taken into account your feelings. We can't always use the move of threatening to escape! You have enough enemies!"

"MGM's Las Vegas tycoon boss Kcorian is not easy to mess with. I can't play with MGM, who has suffered huge losses for many years. I don't need to pay attention. Comcast wants to follow Sony to jump into the pit, so I let them jump... MGM is too complicated, and the consortium that can run it is probably not born yet."

Song Ya calmed down a little. Comcast had ACN and ACE channel resources. Sloan was right. He had enough enemies and could not always make trouble to consume the patience of the Roberts family. Moreover, the next house he threatened to go to last time: John Malone could not cooperate with him in acting again and again, "But we must warn Jobs, a clear warning."

"Why? Just because Jobs met Ken Kutaraki and Howard Singer? Don't forget, you bought Sony convertible bonds worth 500 million yuan."

Sloan complained: "You know Jobs' character better than me, and warnings will only have a counterproductive effect."

"Then I won't warn you, take action! It's July, and the final will be played in the next Disney shareholders' meeting next year..."

Song Ya picked up the landline microphone and "receive Dr. Chen."

"If we buy it again, we will exceed 5% of Apple shares. It must be made public. Boss, are there any other correct copyright and asset management company?" Dr. Chen asked after receiving his order.

"Yeah, it's about 2 percent."

Copyright and asset management companies use their own personal money, mostly purchased from the open market, while the first investment bank-related funds managed by Dr. Chen use investors' money.

"Apple's stock price has been rising, now it is two yuan and four yuan, and is standing in front of the 10 billion market value."

Dr. Chen said: "Under the leadership of Jobs, the future market is also very optimistic. It is difficult for us to buy stocks from small and medium shareholders and institutions in the primary market."

"Amerio must have a bottom line in Apple. His professional manager always likes to keep his hands on..."

Song Ya thought for a while, "I'll give him some pressure."

"AP Reveal S, First Bank and Investment Bank are currently just small roles in the financial industry."

Amerio, who perceived the pressure, slowed down his speech, reminding him word by word: "You know how difficult the operating conditions of the First Bank are by those people in New Jersey. You have read those statements, and I finally sorted out them slowly..."

"I know, I know, you did a great job Jill."

Song Ya praised him a few words, "I need to make the Apple stocks in the First Investment Bank more than 5% in a short period of time, just more than a little bit is enough to hold the bid. The funds in the First Investment Bank are enough."

"Now? It's very difficult, Apple's stock price has already..."

"I will cooperate with you." Song Ya interrupted him strongly.

‘Palm just released its first half of 2004 financial report. Data shows that due to the hot sales of its new Tero650 smartphone and the second-generation Beats music walkman, and the gradually growing Beimi store layout, Palm's revenue and profits simultaneously reversed the huge loss situation in 2003, showing rapid growth...’

Affected by this news, Palm's stock price rose sharply, and its competitor Apple suffered its first slight drop this year...

'New Jersey No. 1 Investment Bank has just issued a public announcement that it owns more than 5% of Apple stocks to 5.1%.'

On August 1, 2004, under Amério's public relations campaign, his friend and an institution manager cleared the profits of Apple stocks in his hands at a premium, and the buyer was naturally the relevant funds of the No. 1 Investment Bank.

Apple's stock price rose sharply afterwards.

But Jobs frowned.

In fact, Song Ya misjudged that the technical tycoon Ken Kutaraki is still a little less sensitive to American shopping malls. Last time he simply wanted to meet with the idol-level technology hero Jobs and had a few words. He took the initiative to propose that Howard Singer was naturally happy to see it.

"He broke the tacit understanding first."

But this doesn't matter anymore. Jobs was furious. A young billionaire who changed from the entertainment industry officially sounded the horn of attacking himself to create and save the company. He couldn't tolerate it. "We must give a clear fight." He touched his chin, "Choose a small battlefield first."

‘Apple formally quotes headphone maker Magic Sound…’

"We have to reject Apple's acquisition."

Magic Sound Headphones Company is not expensive, but Song Ya did not buy it. It just wanted to ensure the Beats headphone product line of the same name that Beats Walkman and Magic Sound cooperated with, and allowed Beats to strategically hold some shares and a director.

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

“Their offer is very attractive.”

After receiving the Apple offer, Noel, the owner, president and founder of Magic Sound Headphones, has now firmly sat on Diaoyutai. "Are you planning to join the competition? AP Reveal S?"

"No, Apple is targeting Beats. We can't fight against Apple in an anti-acquisition war to keep every component supplier." Song Ya expressed her attitude.

"Then I can't do anything about it."

Noel Lee is also a Chinese. When it comes to business, Beats is certainly the biggest buyer of Magic Sound headphones, but Apple's offer also includes incorporating its own products into the supply chain. Apple's iPod sales are not the same as Beats.

"I remember your shares in Magic Sound Headphones Company are very scattered, right?"

The black pharaoh's inquiry came from the headphones, "That's right." Noel Lee replied with a affirmative reply, "But I think I need to remind you that the Beats headphone product line and the BeatsByDr.Dre high-end headphone product line are one of your main selling points of Walkman."

“OK.”

"So let's meet at the headphone company?"

"I probably won't go in person, Donna."

Jobs' counterattack was quick and fierce, and Song Ya was also extremely powerful in action, and immediately flew to Los Angeles.

Because it was Dere's idea to make this kind of headphones, Song Ya later brought him into the venue in order to compensate Dere. However, the parent company of Dere Records, the Inteope record owner of Universal, also proposed to join the company after learning the news from Dere. Aide and Dere bought a lot of Magic Sound Headphones stocks, both of whom were directors.

After Dry won Eminem, Aiowen's career has been smooth sailing in recent years. Not long ago, he was the president of AandM, a former record label under Global.

According to the current board situation of Magic Sound Headphones, taking over Iowing Gardry is almost enough to block this wave of Apple's acquisition offensive.

"David, how are you doing lately?"

Ai Owen was promoted by David Geffen's discovery, so this time Song Ya found David Geffen as an intermediary and met David Geffen first, "Have Harvey got Carsonberg?"

"hehe."

After being stabbed to the pain by Song Ya, David Geffen laughed unhappily. His plan to tie Katzenberg to DreamWorks was setback. Under the temptation of the leading party Harvey and Disney, Katzenberg insisted on letting his animation department take the initiative before this great opportunity to return to Disney. Therefore, Katzenberg planned to separate the animation department of DreamWorks and establish DreamWorks animation company first to prepare for replacing Pixar's position in Disney.

David Geffen naturally couldn't accept it, but the other partner, the great director Spielberg, had an ambiguous attitude, which made David Geffen completely fall out with Carsonberg. There were several passers-by on both sides, and they didn't even say anything.

"Dreamworks animation replaces Pixar...you're happy to see you too?" he asked back.

"Yes."

That means that Jobs' Pixar animation will definitely leave. Of course, Song Ya is happy to see it, but the three parties in the game will also be unbalanced. "Of course, what I want to see most is Disney's overall acquisition of DreamWorks."

"I hope too, but now it seems that the possibility is getting lower and lower."

David Geffen's best decision at the moment is naturally to pull Carsonberg hard and be acquired by Disney with his animation department. However, Carsonberg's unexpected decisive attitude put him in a dilemma. As a well-known Hollywood tycoon and a 4 billionaire, he doesn't want to bear the collapse of the Big Three after the collapse, he is seen by the outside world as a scorching dog holding Carsonberg's thighs tightly.

"Harvey knows you very much," said Song Ya.

"You are not proficient in provoking skills." David Geffen complained, and then laughed first.

Song Yayong was originally an open conspiracy, "I'll go back and practice more."

The two laughed together, and the target person appeared, "Mr. Geffen, AP Lu S." Ai Owen walked over quickly and shook hands with the two.

"Have you heard it?" Song Ya went straight in.

"Your investment bank raises a sign against Apple, and then Apple starts chasing Magic, your headphone supplier."

Ai Owen has always been known for his 'honest and cruel' quality in the recording industry. He played an important behind-the-scenes role in the history of bandit rap East-West Coast War, Death-Captain Records, and Death-May Records. He also spoke happily in front of two top rich people. "But AP reveals S, Beats can't bear the loss of the magic sound."

"I can bear it. Magic Sound no longer masters Beats and other related brands. It is more like an OEM to me."

Song Ya will not be blackmailed by him.

"But magic sound manufacturing is the main selling point of your Walkman headphones." Ai Owen said Noel Lee's words.

"So what? Will it be held back by a supplier and then what consumer electronics products are there?"

Song Ya shrugged indifferently.

"What can Dry and I get?" Ai Owen asked.

"Where is Dere?"

The opponent is very smart, but Dere is more emotional and easier to talk to, so Song Ya is looking for people everywhere.

"He has his own troubles, you know, Sognett is already red-eyed." Ai Owen replied: "He has given me full authority to represent this business."

"When will you hold a board meeting?" David Geffen helped Ai Owen beat the side drum.

Song Ya raised her wrist and looked at the perpetual calendar on her watch, "It's next week."

"Then we don't have much time," said Ai Owen.

He said 'we', as if everyone was on the side, but in fact he implied a threat. Song Ya raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "Even if I don't get what I want at the board meeting next week, there are other ways."

At worst, it’s time to launch money again. Although the cash has been spent almost all, the withdrawal from Madoff Fund will be reserved for the acquisition of Warner Records early next year.

"Don't forget, I just wanted to bring Dere into the game." It was your Dere's boss who invested with him, and Song Ya warned him.

"Aowen, everyone is their own people, and Jobs is just to counter AP's attack on Apple. He has doubts about how sincere he treats Magic Sound Headphones." David Geffen went on to speak for Song Ya, "Don't be provoked so easily."

"I know."
