Chapter 440: Lei Shidong's Party
Apple's new PDA is very disappointing to the industry, sales of other product lines are also shrinking, poor financial performance, coupled with management turmoil, the stock price has plummeted, and the share price is not far from nine cents.
Harley is okay, 800,000 has become 400,000, and Song Ya herself has smashed more than 8 million......
O'Grady of Northern Trust called again, but this time it was recommended to cover the position, "In the personal computer market, Apple's market share has been falling, but there are still die-hard fundamentals, aren't you very optimistic about his new notebook products?" Is there any inside information? Maybe we can make a comeback. ”
"Fxxk, you're a stockbroker, and now you're the other way around?" Song Ya scolded him.
"Hahaha......" he laughed, "anyway, I think it's a good idea to make up the position at eight or nine cents, and reduce the cost per share......"
"I don't have any liquidity now, you asked me to think about it." Song Ya really doesn't have much money on hand now.
"Okay, you make up your own mind. By the way, Bath already has big players in the chemical industry interested, what do you think? If they offer to buy. The fund owned by O'Grady also manages nearly 20 percent of Bath's shares.
"Big players?"
"Very, very big players, Dow, DuPont, Toray, ......" are all well-known companies.
"I just turned the factory into a profit, and these giant crocodiles have taken a fancy to it?"
"That plant is too small, now the production has entered a high load operation, the investment cycle of the chemical industry is very long, you have to plan early, whether to expand production, or to leave the market at a profit, and hand over the business to a professional company." O'Grady said.
"Give me time to think about it, it's too early." Song Ya said.
"No problem, anyway, you are the absolute controlling party, I am just providing some advice as a partner."
Ending the call, "Hallie, don't talk to me about stocks anymore, you can make your own decisions later, okay?" I also lost a lot of money, and I was very annoyed. He said to Hallie very seriously, "I'm not Superman, I can't take you with you without losing money." ”
"Okay." Hallie pouted, "Of course you're not Superman, and you can't fly." ”
"I mean the kind of superhuman philosophy that Nietzsche called it."
Nietzsche not only influenced the group of people who led to World War II, but also believed in the existence of supermen, the kind of natural leaders like Caesar and Napoleon, energetic, tenacious, adventurous, with great charisma and insight, leading the trend of science and the world. Ordinary people think that they and their mediocre selves can hardly be counted as a species, for example, scientists recommend how many hours of sleep a normal person should ensure every day, and a 'superman' says that he only sleeps three hours a day, but no one will believe it.
When he went to the party at Lei Shidong's house, he met several of them, Microsoft's Ballmer, Disney CEO Michael Eisner, and CAA founder Michael Ovitz.
And, of course, Apple's founder Steve Jobs, a tech hero with a slight double chin, is surrounded by a group of Hollywood fans who are discussing his Pixar animation company, "The use of computer special effects in animated films will become more and more widespread......
Song Ya pulled Donovan over and listened for a while, just as someone asked him about what he cared about, "Will you go back to Apple?" I've heard that it'...... now"
"Let's not talk about that, okay?" Jobs interrupted unhappily, "That company has nothing to do with me anymore." ”
Donovan ......
A white man came over, "Mr. Lei Shidong wants to see you, now." He whispered.
"Okay." Donovan straightened his dress, "Let's go, don't say things you shouldn't say APLUS." ”
Lei Shidong held such a high-end party in Hollywood to rush to Paramount, and the acquisition war between him and Barry Diller has been carried out at the most intense moment, and he has just solved the divorce problem with his wife and stabilized Viacom's rear, which is just taking this opportunity to announce to the world.
"You talk." When his wife saw the two coming, she smiled and led the guests away.
Seventy-year-old Lei Shidong looks like he is only in his fifties, wearing a dark suit and tie, with a kind face, even if he has a straight face, he gives people a feeling of smiling, but whoever looks at him with this appearance is very wrong, in the shopping mall, he is recognized as iron-blooded and ruthless.
"Put ...... Called. He whispered the name of the person who came with Song Ya and the others, and then stretched out his hand, "APLUS, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN BUSY WITH LATELY?" Academic? ”
"Yes, Mr. Lei Shidong." Song Ya shook hands with him.
"I heard you hate our VMA, why?." He was concise and to the heart of the matter, when a middle-aged white man trotted over, "Do you have any problems with them?" He pointed to the man, and to Songya.
"Hello, Garland from MTV." The other party shook hands with Song Ya.
"Hello, Rice." The other party is Lesgarand, a well-known host of MTV station, and I heard that he is also the producer of the previous VMAs, "uh......" Now it's his turn to pick out the words, Song Ya knows that this kind of tycoon generally hates others for wasting his time, "I'll make it clear, the matter of 91, maybe you have some information Less, you and Motura ......"
"I promise that there will be no similar incident, and I guarantee with my personality in front of Mr. Lei Shidong." was asked by the big boss about his private dealings with the record company, and the other party was probably full of money, and he said flatteringly: "APLUS, we don't push your songs less." ”
"That's another story." Song Ya shrugged and looked at Lei Shidong.
"So you promise?" Lei Shidong asked Lesgarland.
"I promise."
"APLUS, HOW'S IT GOING? Will you be coming to this year's VMA? Lei Shidong asked.
"Okay, I will." Song Ya smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Good boy." Lei Shidong raised his hand and put his arm around his shoulder, "So, this matter is settled?" He asked the two of them.
Lesgarand nodded as well, and he quickly took his leave, and Donovan then helped Song Ya say goodbye, "Hey, Rice! He chased after Lesgarand, who had not gone far, and went to discuss the award in private.
"Don't be restrained, it's good for you to get to know a few more big people here." When Lei Shidong sent it out, he asked casually: "I heard that you are making a movie?" ”
"Yes, youth song and dance films." Song Ya took the opportunity to say: "Maybe you can help us add some films next year?" ”
"Haha! I don't care much about theaters. He laughs: "The Lightning Dance movie played a very important role in the development of MTV, and we played the movie song and dance clips on TV at that time, and it worked very well. If your movie is as good as it, I'm willing to help. ”
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lei Shidong."
The exchange took only about ten minutes in total, and Song Ya then cheekily attacked everywhere at the party, except for the CAA people, he showed his face in front of a series of bigwigs, chatting with Ballmer about the World Wide Web, talking about movies with Eisner, and talking about PDAs with Jobs......
"So you're also working on PDA products?" Jobs asked, holding his glass, and the person next to him let out a laugh.
"yes, maybe in August." Song Ya didn't care if the other party was mocking or other purposes, anyway, he said what he should say.
"Send me one when the time comes, and it'll be delivered to my office at Pixar."
"No problem."
"Actually, APLUS, we did business." He blinked, "Do you remember?" ”
"Uh......" Song Ya thought for a moment, "that song?" ”
"Yes, Feel It Still......" Jobs snorted on the spot, "Can't keep my hands to myself, Think I'll dust em off put em back up on the shelf......"
Song Ya remembered that his NeXT computer company used Feel It Still as a new product advertising song, and the price paid at that time was not low.
"Wow, that's ......" Song Ya pretended to be flattered, "you know what? Since I entered college, I have rarely sung this song myself, and the lyrics are a little forgotten, and I may not remember them ......as well."
"Of course I remember it, that computer sold badly......"
"Uh......"
