Chapter 389: Apple's Unaware Trap
The abandonment of others is a treasure that he regards. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone looks at it from different angles and positions, and in the Graham family's view, Newsweek is a giant hole, a money-losing commodity, and they can completely ignore its influence because they control the more awesome Washington Post group.
Andy, on the other hand, needs the credibility and influence that Newsweek has built up over the past 70 years to increase his voice in the media and the world, even if it requires him to spend a lot of money to support it.
To a certain extent, holding such a newspaper is also happy for the Smith family, after all, no matter how good the relationship with other newspapers is, to put it bluntly, it is also someone else's, and there is no comparison at all.
The news media in the United States are in the hands of private corporations, they control the direction of public opinion, exaggerated, they control the ideological bias of the people, and the news will only be seen by the people.
This is also the main reason why people's trust in the credibility of traditional media has dropped to the lowest point after the advent of the self-media era, and even makes many people think that the news on TV and newspapers is all fake and untrustworthy.
Andy naturally knows how much impact the self-media will have on the traditional media in the future, so he did not carry out any internal transformation for the "Observer" that he took over, but respected the concept of the newspaper at the beginning, and the only thing that changed was to add his concept of news communication.
It is particularly important that all news reports that appear in weekly magazines must be truthful and reliable, and that judgments must be made with supporting data, and that readers should not make judgments with bias as much as possible, and let readers make their own judgments based on the detailed data listed.
The most traditional media do is self-righteous and want to influence the people's minds, they don't care about the truth, as long as they can use the content of the report to influence the people to stand on their point of view.
This is also the biggest reason why the American people have become disgusted with traditional media reports after the advent of the media.
As for the style of the weekly magazine after taking over Newsweek, Andy does not want to interfere, after all, this is a newspaper with a long history and a long-term insistence on the style of running a newspaper, change means negation, but the previous fierceness needs to be slowly eased, although it is not to be moderate, but it cannot be opposed for the sake of opposition.
In a word, speak with facts, put an end to any human factors to make news, you can have your own voice, but you must use data to support it, and you can't deceive readers.
Andy sat in the boss's chair in the office, wrote down his news ideas and thoughts on the computer, carefully checked it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he chose to save it, which was an email he was going to send to all the employees of the two newspapers in his hands after taking over Newsweek.
Picked up the phone and called Blair of the game company, in the past few days, his think tank has frequently sold Apple stocks, and now the market is a little suspicious, which has led to a wave of decline in Apple stocks, and he is really worried that Apple will hate him because of this, so the cooperation negotiations with Apple that Blair is in charge of may be disrupted.
This is also something that can't be helped, compared with the profits that may be obtained from this real estate crash, Apple's cooperation has become a bit insignificant, besides, if Apple does not choose to cooperate with game companies, then the mobile phones they produce can only be used for phone calls, listening to music, taking pictures for a long time, and there is not even a decent software application.
Besides, the stock is your own, you can sell it as you want, Jobs has an opinion, okay, come and co-opt yourself, let yourself join the board!
Ahem, Andy is also thinking too much, unless he holds more than five percent of the shares in his hands, he may need to make a shareholder change announcement, and at that time maybe Jobs will worry about him fooling him in.
This is also one of the things Andy needs to consider after the economic crisis, becoming a shareholder of Apple, and then lying on this giant company to suck blood.
In the future, Apple can make a profit of 50 billion a year, and the money that falls to Apple is only 67 billion, and the rest is distributed to shareholders, which is a good investment that can make money at home.
Blair was a little unclear by his boss's question, but he still introduced the situation to the boss, and the cooperation negotiations were relatively smooth, and there was no conflict of interest now, and cooperation was a matter of mutual benefit.
Andy was relieved after knowing that the matter was going well, this kind of cooperation now seems to be mutually beneficial, and it will be the same in the short term, but as Apple's mobile phone seizes the global market, Jobs and Apple will definitely regret it, and even make some moths to break the contract, after all, the interests are moving.
"Boss, the 10-year cooperation period is too long, and we have to share 10% of the profits with Apple, we are very at a loss. ”
Andy took the phone and stretched out his hand to cover his face, which really made Blair's complaints disgusting, Nima, if he knew that no matter what the future Apple is, as long as it passes through their platform and crazy mobile phones, it will charge 30% of the toll, I don't know if I will blush for today's words.
This is when Apple itself lacks confidence in crazy mobile phones, and when they finish seizing the mobile phone market, they will definitely regret it.
“。。。 Is the content of the liquidated damages explained to the other party in detail?" Andy was silent for a moment, he didn't want to be entangled in Blair's short-sightedness, after all, he can see the future, and others can't do it.
"It shows that 10 times the profit from the sale of all iPhones, although they have questioned that the penalty for breach of contract is too high, but we have also reached a consensus under the argument that three games will be embedded in the mobile phone trial version, "Zombie", "Minecraft" and "Fruit Swordsman". We also agreed to their request to sell the full version of the download in Apple's physical stores.
However, on the issue of payment, everyone has disagreed, this boss you have already commented on the briefing, and we have also made concessions according to your decision, which can be directly collected by Apple, and the monthly settlement payment will be made, and we need to pay interest after the deadline. ”
"Well, well, Blair, maybe you don't understand the purpose of some of my decisions now, but it doesn't matter, in the future you will know that the concessions we make now are very worthwhile, and perhaps, at that time, Apple will regret signing this cooperation document very much... ”
Andy also inquired about the development progress of each team of the game company, and he repeatedly instructed him to pay attention to the transplantation of mobile phones, to speed up the progress, and to give tilt and support in terms of funds and manpower.
Hung up the phone, laughed heartily a few times, and took advantage of the forward-looking advantage to bundle his game with the crazy series of mobile phones, and put a shackle on Apple, so that even if they regret it to vomit blood, they will vomit blood to complete the contract.
Hehe, 10 times the liquidated damages from the profits from the sale of mobile games, hehe, unless Apple spends billions of dollars to terminate the contract for real reasons, the game "Minecraft" alone can sell 10,000 units a day, if memory serves, in six years, the PC version alone sold 20 million units. Of course, Apple really wants to launch a ruthless attack, and this money is nothing.
But this matter itself is not worth the fact that they have to pay such a big price to remove the games that can share the money, even if it is only one percent of the profit, although this is very embarrassing for the domineering Apple.
But after a long time, I got used to it!
Being able to pit Apple made Andy's mood extremely comfortable. A giant like Apple, everywhere you go, you are the best in the world, if you don't listen to me, you will get you, and the rogue company that scolds you can make their company blackface when they mention themselves, helpless, gritted their teeth, unhappy, but they just have no way to take themselves, it is simply a glorious deed that should be praised in Andy's opinion.
Maybe when Apple wants to tear up its face with itself, he should look at them lightly and say: "I like the way you can't get used to me and can't kill me!"
