Chapter 280: Angry AOL
The right to broadcast the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, this is a big event that many companies are looking forward to!
Video network live broadcast, someone has already thought of it, and it is being proposed within AOL to try.
In this kind of bone joint, it is actually dawn to announce the disabling of AOL services!
AOL is a network service company, such as mail transmission, such as the transmission of online game data, such as video upload and download, all of which have to go through their hands. Now the dawn is dominant, but it can't cover the sky with one hand, almost all of the big six have their own video networks, so they won't let a Chinese company take control.
The Olympic Games are equivalent to a manifestation of influence, which is equivalent to announcing to the world: our video network has advanced technology and strong influence, and can broadcast the Olympic Games live!
If there is no live broadcast, other websites have it, what kind of consequences will this be?
Roland didn't dare to think that for a long time after that, the global video network would ban AOL's services!
The opening ceremony is like this, but what about the competition? What about the closing ceremony?
A cold sweat broke out on Roland's forehead!
Most importantly, this is tantamount to announcing to AOL in the world: he can't do it, the service is not good enough, the speed is not fast enough, the coverage is not comprehensive enough, and the Olympic Organizing Committee has banned it, what kind of good goods can it be?
As soon as this impression came out, it was like AOL's life!
"Bastard!" Roland opened his mouth anxiously and scolded: "Immediately! Get in touch with me quickly! Contact Lin Xiao himself! By any means! Be sure to win the rights to live stream the Olympics! β
"Smack!" He hung up the phone, and suddenly felt a tingling in his fingers, and he turned his head to see that the cigarette butt had burned to his fingertips at some point.
βSHITοΌβ He flicked it violently, and the cigarette butt swirled on the polished tabletop, and it didn't move.
"Time Warner!" After he finished speaking through gritted teeth, he immediately picked up his phone, "Annie! Contact Raymond ...... Now Some?! Don't worry about a few points! Immediately! Now even if he's asleep! Gotta pull me up, too! β
"Smack!" The door was slammed shut, and Roland had put on his trench coat and hurried towards Raymond's villa.
When he arrived, Raymond's butler was already waiting at the door, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Roland, Mr. Raymond, please come in." β
Roland didn't even snort coldly, and walked directly into the door.
"Oh, Mr. Roland, I'm so sorry." Raymond put on his pajamas, sipped a cigar and said lazily, "I've read the report, I don't think it's a big deal." β
"AOL was shut out of the Olympics, you don't even think it's a big deal?!" Roland was so angry that he was trembling all over.
"Of course, as long as the acquisition of Daybreak is lost, nothing is a big deal."
Roland laughed angrily, but didn't sit down, "Raymond, then I can only tell you one thing, tomorrow morning, I ask to draw a line with Time Warner immediately!" All of AOL's business departments, planning, will no longer carry all of Time Warner's names! Execute in the name of AOL! β
He glared angrily at Raymond, "AOL can no longer afford losses for Time Warner!" β
"Dear Roland, aren't we one company?" Raymond feigned surprise and said.
"Hahaha! Fuck your company! I've really had enough! Roland looked up to the sky and laughed, and then his teeth grinded "Raymond, I solemnly warn you, if you don't give me a complete settlement of this matter before June!" I don't think there is any need for the two companies to work together! β
"Roland, give me some time, Dawn will definitely give in, he doesn't have this kind of reputation and this kind of money to play with us!"
Roland looked at Raymond as if he were an idiot, "Raymond, how many calls did you receive before I came?" β
"Oh man, what did you say? I don't understand. β
"Don't understand?" Roland laughed angrily and sat down, "Did Prada call you?" Did Cartier call you? Has GM ever called you?! β
"You have no follow-up action after appealing Lin Xiao, don't tell me you don't want to do it!"
"You're scared!" He gritted his teeth and his hideous face approached Raymond: "You are afraid that the interest groups behind Lin Xiao and Warner will turn their faces!" Our agreement is based on not blocking Lin Xiao! You've broken the contract! You played with the American spirit! No one in the big companies in the United States dares to play with contracts! And you did! β
Raymond calmly looked at Roland's angry almost red face, close at hand, and waved his hand, and all the silent servants in the room retreated.
"As long as you win the dawn and open the Chinese market, everything is worth it."
"Now you still have this naΓ―ve idea!" Roland almost punched it, "It's AOL America Online that carries the black pot for you!" How did we find a partner like you in the first place? β
"Before June! If you can't solve this problem! AOL can't get network video services, AOL and Warner ......"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Roland's eyes, he was fed up, the long-term deployment was disrupted overnight, the online game market can't be played without the support of Blizzard now, the online book city is involved in Rowling because of Warner, and the other party also hates Warner, and now the Olympics are banned from serving!
New hatred and old hatred, he almost said the word separation.
"Humph!" He snorted coldly, got up and left.
Raymond looked at his back, his eyes flickering as well, and the deep nasolabial folds shook slightly.
Yes, the contract with several major companies is not to move Lin Xiao, they don't care about breaking dawn, this time, he is just a temptation, he is very clear about the role of spiritual leaders in the benchmarking role of the company, getting rid of dawn is a long-term process, but getting rid of Lin Xiao, the time is relatively short, so he made the appeal incident, but he didn't expect that under a little temptation, the rebound was so big that he was surprised!
He already regretted it a little, so there was no follow-up action, but he didn't expect that before he could take back his life, Dawn actually banned AOL's service!
A very delicate situation has been formed between the two sides, and if he continues to sue him, Dawn will definitely completely erase AOL's service qualifications, and he knows very well that AOL will fight with Warner at that time. However, if you don't tell you, the other party will not necessarily give AOL a share of the service.
He suddenly found that the initiative was out of place.
He beckoned, motioned for the butler to come up, and asked, "What time is it in China?" β
"Three o'clock in the afternoon, sir."
"Go get Daybreak's contact information, call the assistant, and prepare to negotiate with Daybreak."
The assistant soon came, and Raymond told the other party what to say, but when the call came, he found ......
It doesn't work!
Busy!
He didn't know that Lin Xiao was now answering someone else's call, the same call from AOL Time Warner.
"Oh, dear Mr. Lin, I'm the president of AOL, one of the Warner duo, Roland. Chris. β
After a short greeting, Roland couldn't help but cut to the point, the Olympic Games network broadcast service, this treaty, for any network company in the world, is a crucial contract!
"Lin, on behalf of the stupid Warner Executives, I apologize to you, their foolish actions have caused us to have some misunderstandings today......"
"Mr. Roland, I don't think it's a misunderstanding." Lin Xiao sneered in his heart, but his tone was very serious, "AOL Time Warner, the same company, how can it be said to be a misunderstanding?" Don't you know what they're doing? β
Roland secretly complained in his heart, he knew a fart! There is a building on both sides, and even his and Raymond's offices are not far away, but it is like a galaxy across them, and he will never take the initiative to go over if others don't come!
Mr. Lin...... You are mistaken, Warner's top brass ...... The structure is not what you think, actually, the president of AOL, I, is in charge of AOL, and Raymond is in charge of Time Warner, and there is ...... between us"
"Mr. Roland, I'm not interested in management, I just know that you are a company, and your company has framed me for plagiarism. Oh, I've got something to do, sorry, goodbye. β
"Toot toot toot ......" busy sound came, and Roland, who was far away in the United States, almost smashed the phone!
Seeing that his chest rose and fell sharply, and the sound of heavy breathing in his nostrils could even be heard by the secretary who was not far away, he couldn't help but ask softly, "President Roland...... Do you need some coffee? β
"Still in the mood for coffee?!" Roland finally found the punching bag, and the phone slapped heavily on the table, "What do you usually do!?" Didn't Warner's decision inform me?! If there is a decision that is unfavorable to AOL, don't you know to tell me to negotiate?! β
"Charter a flight to China now! You, and Assistant Will! Minister Suman and Minister Leorik go together! Also find a trustworthy translator! If you don't organize this team in an hour, you won't have to stay in AOL! β
"Yes!"
On a night in the United States, a charter plane took off from Los Angeles Airport and flew non-stop to China. Left with Warner Center's anxious Roland.
Warner...... Ramon...... I memorized ......" Roland said through gritted teeth, looking at the dark sky.
Water City, Venice.
Steve Keys sat quietly on the couch, with no one around.
All the servants had been driven out, and just a quarter of an hour earlier he had smashed in a rage the cup that had followed him for many years.
Unexpectedly, it should have been from the middle. The online broadcasting rights controlled by the Propaganda Department were actually hijacked by Dawn, he wanted to return to the CEO throne, but he never wanted to hurt AOL's interests because of Warner.
In fact, from the day AOL was acquired by Warner, it was regarded as a Warner person.
"Now...... It's up to Raymond to do it......"
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only hope for President Raymond who was far away in Los Angeles.
Now, he is no longer qualified to call Lin Xiao, the guest and the host are transposed, and his threat will not play the slightest role.
The next day, the six Hollywood giants, which have video networks under their banners, all launched their negotiation teams and flew to Beijing.
As time went by, there were more and more companies, media, and foreigners gathered in Beijing, and every day Lin Xiao could receive countless invitations, and he began to look at them, but soon after, he was irritated and handed over to his assistant, and then all the trash cans.
"Mr. Lin." The secretary walked in with a dozen well-made invitations and respectfully placed them on the table, "This is just received today." β
Lin Xiao smiled bitterly helplessly, now basically changed from Chinese to English, and international friends from foreign countries are more anxious than them. Especially after the distribution of the right to broadcast on the Internet.
He frowned and flipped over, and was about to say that he would take it and score it, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pulled out an invitation.
It was a pale blue invitation with two eye-catching "WT" on it.
The observant secretary immediately asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lin, do you want to agree?" β
Lin Xiao sneered, WT, the famous AOL Time Warner, they actually pulled this face to invite themselves.
