Magnesium Country, California.
Sony Music Headquarters.
In the chairman's office, Mr. Howard Stringer sat in the boss's chair, approving some Sony Music texts.
The phone on the desk rang, and when he answered it, he replied, "Well, let him in." β
After a while, the door opened, and a white man from the magnesium country walked in.
"Sit down, Frank. Howard got up from the boss's chair and said, walking over to the coffee machine and pouring his coffee.
It turned out that Jackson's agent Frank came to find the chairman of Sony Music, who is also the main person in charge of Sony Music.
Frank and Howard's relationship is obviously not ordinary, as Howard also pours a cup of coffee and hands it to Frank.
Many people just know that Sony is an island country, but they don't know that Sony Music was founded by white people in the magnesium country, and the main shareholder is also a magnesium country.
Jackson didn't actually have an opinion about the islanders, but a declaration against Sony's upper-class whites who discriminated against blacks.
Howard, in particular, was a white man that Jackson hated in his heart.
But he has no way to change anything, because the current Sony Music is 50% controlled by each other, and no one can interfere with anyone.
Frank drank his coffee as he said, "Mr. Howard, you can help me, King Lee and Jackson are too close." The relationship between the two became very good. Recently, Anthony, a negotiator at Tengda Media Group. When he was talking to me about the endorsement of a new electronic music product launched by Feiteng Electronics Group, he confided in me something. β
When Howard heard this, he hurriedly asked curiously, "What is the matter?"
Frank said angrily: "Jackson may be ready to hand over his private funds to King Lee to take care of. β
When Howard heard this, he also slapped his desk suddenly, and after making a "snap" sound, he also said indignantly: "What does this bleached want to do! Could it be that he is trying to control our Sony Music Company?"
"I want to unite that yellow-skinned monkey in Huaxia. Steal our fruits!"
Frank chimed in and said, "yes, it's so damnable!"
After Howard took two sips of coffee, he calmed down and asked, "Is this thing certain?"
"I haven't heard from me yet, and as you know, I don't want to ask Jackson. Frank shook his head.
Howard snorted, he frowned, and said, "How did you negotiate Jackson's endorsement fee so low this time, and now the dollar is still depreciating, $13.8 million a year." It's too little, isn't it?"
Frank also said with a bitter face: "Chairman, I can't help it. Jackson is going to take a break for the past two years, his commercial endorsements have always been very few, and the price is quite expensive, it is not easy for me to negotiate at this price, after all, Anthony is not an ordinary negotiator. β
Howard sneered and said: "Excuses, all excuses, I see Frank, you are worried that you will lose your job as a fund manager!"
Frank was suddenly poked by the chairman, and he said bluntly: "Yes, that's right, I'm just worried that the private fund will really be taken away by King Lee, but are you willing to hand over Jackson's money to someone else to manage, especially such a business genius?"
Howard's face was very gloomy, he didn't respond, but just by looking at his expression, he knew that Jackson's private fund was also very crucial to Sony Music.
Jackson's annual income reached 1 billion yuan, and he made money, and Howard and Frank had very mixed feelings, because it could bring Sony a lot of profits, but it was not as profitable as other celebrities.
Because Jackson also owns 50% of Sony's shares, in their hearts, Jackson is taking away their income, which is very uncomfortable.
Howard has always wanted to get a stake in Jackson's hands, and Frank is also an important pawn by his side to Jackson.
They can be said to be persuading Jackson all the time to get the 50% stake.
Frank runs Jackson's money, but he is not doing it normally, and he does not allocate Jackson's capital reasonably, trying to bankrupt the and sell his shares in Sony.
But this has too much ability to make money, and after a global tour, he can suck in tens of millions of dollars, and his annual income can exceed hundreds of millions of dollars.
Frank can't keep up with Jackson's income because of the loss, not to mention that he is not an obvious companion, and he doesn't lose a lot, but he maintains a low profit.
"Actually, Frank, you shouldn't have signed the commercial endorsement contract this time, the director of the Sony Electronics Group in the island country reacted to me, the electronic product of loip music player, and Sony's music player product conflict, can you understand what I mean?"
Howard said in a critical tone to Frank suddenly, very sternly.
Frank also hurriedly apologized and said: "Chairman, I don't know this, but the contract has been signed, should we break the contract?"
Howard shook his head, he said: "That's not necessary, the LIP generation, because the production line of Feiteng Electronics Group has not yet been established, including the technical aspects, it still needs to be provided by Sony Electronics, so King Lee will not make too much money on the LUI generation, even if it is very popular, Sony Electronics will also get a very considerable profit." β
"I just received a call from Secretary Wang Li again, saying that Tengda Media Group is ready to poach BeyoncΓ©, a new singer, from our Sony Music at a high price, and is ready to let her endorse LoIP this electronic music product with Jackson, I hope what you do is to dig out the potential value of her, so that Tengda Media Group will pay the biggest price, we want to let LoIP continue to expand in the early advertising costs, and wait for LoIP to go on sale. Quickly use our many star artists under the Sony Music umbrella. Package the Walkman Walkman launched by Sony Electronics. β
I have to say. Sony is the company in the world that invented the Walkman.
The loip Walkman that Li Feiteng is now launching is naturally a direct competition with Sony's famous Walkman Walkman.
There are many reasons why Sony provides technology and even helps with production.
On the one hand, Li Feiteng borrowed a lot of money from Japan, so the Japanese bank also made some negotiations with Sony.
After all, if Li Feiteng really goes bankrupt, then the Japanese bank will also want to cry without tears.
It was the uncle who borrowed the money. This time it was completely revealed.
On the other hand, Sony is also an important shareholder of the LoIP generation of products.
For example, the retail price of a loip is about 3850 yuan, and Sony, as one of the manufacturers, has a factory price of about 2500 yuan, which can be said to give Li Feiteng a relatively low profit margin.
As for the manufacturing cost of a loip product, it may only cost about 800 yuan for the Japanese company Sony.
So. If Fei Teng Lee makes a lot of money, Sony can actually make even more.
Because the current production line of Feiteng Electronics Group has not yet been established. The cost of producing a loIP is about 1,500 yuan, which is about twice the cost of the Japanese side.
Therefore, in the LUI generation, Li Feiteng did not produce a large number of products, but more directly invested in the second-generation production line.
Sony can't understand Li Feiteng at all, he doesn't understand what Li Feiteng wants to do with such a big upfront investment?
It seems that the global electronic product channel is still mainly in physical stores.
In Europe and the United States, there are Apple, Blackberry, Microsoft, HP, Dell, Intel and other manufacturers and electronics companies, which are developing physical store sales channels.
And Feiteng Electronics Group is really still a little bird, even if there is a premise of hot online sales in Huaxia.
However, after the Internet catastrophe, the online shopping market has also been greatly impacted, and people dare not believe in the Internet casually, so the online shopping of electronic products has also fallen into a downturn.
Originally, the online sales volume of an electronic product may account for more than 40% of the total sales channel, but now it has shrunk to about 10%!
For a month in a row, there are no products that have sold more than 100,000 products per month on famous online sales platforms such as Amazon Books, Google Mall, Qingmu Mall, etc., and before October, many electronic products have exceeded 200,000 or even 300,000 per month!
Sony can't understand Li Feiteng, and Li Feiteng has never taken the usual path.
β¦β¦
Zhongguan Village, the headquarters of the Google Group.
In the spacious workshop on the second floor, more than 20 engineers are working on Google's high-end desktop engineering computers produced by Feiteng Computer Design Company and Lenovo Company.
Li Feiteng is also among many engineers, and he and others "caught" the computer virus "Grim Reaper" hidden in the global Internet.
There was an expression of excitement and joy on the faces of every engineer, because in the past two months, no commercial organization in the world has caught the "Grim Reaper", let alone been able to crack the source text.
And now, the people of the Google Group have slowly conquered part of the source code of the Grim Reaper, found an important way to spread it, and the construction of the core program.
"Oh my God, this virus is really powerful, I found that it can disguise as an email document of the Microsoft XP system, and it can also be transformed into a text in music format, it can actually give the operating system a false impression, no wonder firewalls and anti-virus software can't find its storage. β
"Yes, it's a hellish death, it's really invisible. β
"Boss, Jin Zhengming is definitely a super genius, his understanding of Microsoft's operating system is not ordinary, no wonder the military of the magnesium country wants to arrest him!"
Li Feiteng and the engineers cracked the Grim Reaper little by little, the corners of his mouth raised a sneer, and he thought to himself: You American fools, do you really think that the Grim Reaper was created by Han Bangzi?
