DeLay took the opportunity to propose a multi-million dollar website upgrade, including the purchase of Cisco switches, database software, new office computers and servers, and the addition of more technicians and bandwidth.

"But the site hasn't made any money so far."

Song Ya has seen in Netscape, and now the Internet industry is really burning money at a very terrifying speed, labor, bandwidth, software and hardware investment, etc., tens of millions of sales revenue of Netscape Professional Edition Browser have been invested in this bottomless pit, and additional loans have to be maintained, "If DTS gets the worst result in the future, the listing fails and goes bankrupt......

"Yes, but A+ audio can still be deployed and solved by itself, and the website is not profitable, but we have appreciated the value of the land with this project." "I can remortgage the land, and it's a good opportunity." DTS…… Even if we go bankrupt, we can't help it, at least our investment is profitable. ”

"What if the number of visits to the website goes up a notch? We haven't even come up with a profit model to charge users account registration fees? Song Ya asked.

"No way, we are not without competitors, AOL (米国在线) and WBS (WebChat Broadcasting System

There are already pop music discussion boards, and they don't charge a fee. ”

Delay said: "Isn't this new media? Maybe you can put ads on your pages like print media, and many websites are trying to do this now. ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Song Ya agreed, "By the way, the server buys SUN." ”

“OK。”

Hanging up the phone, Song Ya frowned, "It seems that this year, Delai will deliberately keep the profitability of A+ audio at a low level." ”

"He did everything he could to keep the profits within the company, and when he got the five-year 15% equity incentive, his net worth would skyrocket with the asset value of A+ Audio." Linda laughed, "Your promise was a little too generous. ”

"Yes, but forget it, no one expected that company to grow to where it is today."

Song Ya shook his head, Delai is already a very standard professional manager in the United States, although it is a little regrettable, but he does not expect too much loyalty regardless of interests.

The meeting with Sony's new CEO was really short.,After the breakdown of the automobile trade war between the United States and the book,The stock market of the book fell by 30% in a month,The related industries on the side of the United States have also been hit hard,Both sides seem to regret it.,So the Minister of International Trade and Industry Hashimoto led a team back to the United States to resume negotiations again,The two sides quickly reached a new agreement。 The requirements of the United States have basically been met, but the book has also guarded some key points, to avoid a devastating blow to the domestic industry like the semiconductor negotiations, both sides take what they need, and finally they can go home and declare victory.

"Hello, APLUS."

"Hello, Mr. Idei."

Nobuyuki Idei came with the book negotiation delegation.,The top management of the Mi branch basically came to Washington to make a pilgrimage to the head of Sony, who had just taken off the two words of union in front of the CEO,There are people Song Ya who don't know.,Acquaintances include Sony Electronics North Mi President Schuff Hall,Sony Entertainment President Motula,Sony Columbia Records President Daniel,And Hirai and others who talked to Song Ya about the merger of Sony Music Copyright Library and MJ's ATV Copyright Library。

The timing is more sensitive, those who have hatred and those who do not have hatred will not show anything on this occasion, let alone talk about work problems, everyone has a ceremonial smile on their faces, and they shake hands very politely, and then take a group photo in front of the reporters' cameras, the two of them shook hands and took a group photo, and they were busy.

"If we have a chance to talk more, oh yes, Hirai, give our new gadget to APLUS."

Nobuyuki Idei is a very delicate person, according to legend, the reason why he was able to take the position was to help Akio Morita solve a big trouble, and treat people with the usual humility of the book, holding Song Ya's hand and smiling: "I heard that you are also going to be a TV station?" That's going to be the case. ”

"Thank you."

Song Ya didn't know what the gadgets in his mouth were, anyway, Sony often came out with all kinds of stupid-looking new electronic products, so he simply ended the conversation, said hello to Daniel and hurried to the airport, and set off for Albany, the capital of New York State, for dinner.

"When I left, two book staff sent me."

Mawota took out a large cardboard box from the trunk and followed Song Ya into the cabin.

“DV？ Oh, digital video camera......"

Song Ya opened the box and took out a camera with the model DCR-VX1000, "It seems to be using a cassette tape...... Mini's kind of ......"

He is still interested in electronic products, how can he also star in a movie, more than a dozen MVs, and quickly put the battery and tape in the place where they should be installed, turn on the lens cap and switch, "This can be filmed?" "It's not lightweight, but it's much easier to use than the most popular 8mm film portable camera in the United States......

Well? Why is Alicia and Miss Sloan already there?

He quietly glared at Linda in displeasure, with a bad heart, and approached while shooting at the two women who were bowing their heads to work on the text, "You don't have to go to Albany with me, you can rest for one more night in Washington." ”

"Excuse me, I usually work sixteen hours a day." Ms. Sloan didn't look up, "Don't forget that I'm your political advisor, I heard Alicia say that you had a confrontation with Pierre Sutton last night, and trust me, you're going to need me in Albany." ”

"Okay, okay, Alicia?"

Song Ya lowered the camera to shoot her face, "You don't have a task at night, you can take a vacation, go back to Chicago to spend more time with the children." ”

"It's okay, I'll just go back to Chicago randomly."

Alicia stacked the paperwork in a pile and looked up at the camera, "Hey, nasty, don't shoot me......" she smiled and separated the camera with her hand.

"It's okay, you're busy."

The light coming in from the porthole was just right, Song Ya moved two steps to the side, changed the angle and continued to shoot, "Ahem!" He cleared his throat and said in the tone of a news anchor: "Alicia Flock, the wife of the Governor of Illinois, is on the plane on business...... She is a beloved wife to the people of Illinois, and is also the best lawyer and title partner of Chicago's best law firm......"

"HATE, APLUS......" Alicia helplessly ignored it, threw a roll of her eyes and continued to go about her business.

Song Ya pushed the camera closer to her face, alas, her temperament is really good, she is a mature professional woman, this is a new field......

"You two ......," Miss Sloane frowned at the two of them.

"What's wrong with the two of us?" Song Ya turned around to photograph the big-mouthed beauty.

"Forget it, it's nothing, when I didn't say it." Ms. Sloan waved her hand, "APLUS, YOU'RE IDLE, AREN'T YOU?" ”

"Well, it seems like a little, I've got to recharge my batteries and get ready for a battle with Dingkins and the Sutton family and that Mr. Comptroller in the evening......"

The dinner that Dingkins arranged was actually at the home of the New York State Comptroller, Herman McCall.

"I think I'm dressed too much?" Ms. Sloan, who had changed into evening clothes, felt that something was wrong as soon as she entered the door, the dinner guests were basically black men and women, and they were dressed more casually, as if they had come in a hurry after work, which made her a little uneasy when she had been dressed up ceremoniously beside Song Ya.

She was so white and glowing in the room that it was very eye-catching.

"It's okay, it's just a salon party, please feel free." A black female aunt came over and introduced herself as Herman McCall's wife, "Little Aplus, welcome, Mr. Dinkins, they are in the study, come together." ”

She didn't say much to say hello, but led the two up the stairs through the crowd, pushing open a heavy wooden door at the end of the corridor, where several black men were sitting or standing, Song Ya knew Dinkins, Persissaton and Pierre Sutton, and the Comptroller himself, who had done his homework beforehand. There were also two old black men who did not know.

Pierre Sutton was still sitting in the innermost part of the country with a huff, and the others were very enthusiastic, and it seemed that they were waiting for it, Song Ya put a smile on his face, "Mr. Dinkins, Mr. McCall, Mr. Sutton, Pierre." "Shake hands separately in the past.

"Ahem."

Ms. Sloan made a code to help introduce the house to one of the two old black men Song Ya did not know, "This is Mr. Wrangel from New York." ”

"Hello Mr. Wrangel." Song Ya smiled on his face, and secretly felt unhappy in his heart, didn't he say that there was no one in the Manhattan Gang? Why is there another federal representative now?

"Ms. Sloan, I didn't expect to see you in Albany, why? Jumped from a lobbying firm to serve our Afro-American Light? ”

Rangel's gray-haired and infectious smile seemed to have dealt with Ms. Sloane.

"No, it's just a consultant." Sloan replied, "Your work on the Ways and Means Committee, the Donkey Caucus Reform Committee, the African American Committee, and the Arts Committee has been very productive, and I have always respected you, Mr. Rangel, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to work together." ”

She deliberately reminded herself with words, fundraising? This Nima is a powerful member of the House of Representatives! Outside help from the Manhattan Gang? Demonstrate with yourself? Show off your muscles? Song Ya was a little caught off guard, it seems that she really made Pierre angry yesterday.

"And this one is Basil Patterson." Sloan, another old black man of Latin descent, didn't know him either, and Dingkins helped introduce him.

"Patterson?"

Ms. Sloan seemed to remember, "New York State Senator David Patterson is your ......"

"Haha, it's my son."

The old black man named Rosil Patterson smiled proudly, "He'll come over later, you guys talk more about APLUS." ”

"Sit down." Dingkins gestured.

Taking advantage of the time to sit down, Sloan reminded in Songya's ear, "Rep. Wrangel broke with Dingkins politics in his early years, and this Rohrer Patterson seems to have been the New York Secretary of State before......"

Fxxk, is this the real strength of the Manhattan Gang? Song Ya didn't doubt his previous judgment, this was a Hongmen banquet for the other party to show his muscles.

"Okay, so we can talk about it openly, Pierre said you hollowed out the Washington branch of the Inner City Broadcasting Company? And also meddled into Dorothy's black women's television station? Dingkins personally handed the two of them wine and asked.
