Chapter 507: December 31

In fact, this model of black DJ radio hitting the charts and bringing goods has not been new for two years, and Sugnight has learned very well.

On the 26th, the current President successfully signed the bill on the protection of children's rights.

"Mimi, we can't spend the New Year together."

Song Ya calls Mariah Carey, and due to the defeat of Dingkins, the New Year's Eve party in New York's Times Square has nothing to do, and the mayor's office of the Elephant Party only invites her to perform a female solo version of Empire State Of Mind. And he had to show up in Chicago and sign a formal agreement with Dow.

"It's so annoying, I miss you, I want to spend the New Year with you."

She didn't want to go, but Song Ya persuaded her, this kind of long-term meal ticket that can easily pick up one million when she shows up and sings a song every year can't be lost, many singers can't ask for it, the Big Apple New Year's Eve has a certain influence all over the world, and the news of other countries will at least report briefly.

"Oh good."

"You know best if I'm obedient or not, you're surrounded by your people." She complained: "It's you, I don't know if there is a good one." ”

"Didn't you put eyeliner in you too?"

"Hmph, that's not enough, I'm going to Hollywood to see you for myself."

"Okay, no problem." Song Ya asked, "What happened to Roberto?" He seems to be very angry with me. ”

"I don't know, I don't care about him." Mary Kelly replied.

"I see, maybe that's the problem."

She and Roberto Clevell's musical route gradually drifted apart, Roberto also had a sense that adult lyrical music was becoming more and more unpopular, so he gradually focused on business, and in terms of music, he began to transform into a studio owner and singer brokerage business, he had long been optimistic about Shakira, but he was stirred up by himself, and by mistake, Shakira chose to have more influence in the Latin music industry EstΓ©phine, and he ended up in vain.

"What's the problem?"

"It's nothing, pay attention to your throat, you worked too hard in the Madison Square concert, play the accompaniment on New Year's Eve, and you have to lip-sync."

"I'm not you, I like lip-synching." She complained.

"Hey, will the awards season be rewarding?"

"Probably the AMA will win a few prizes, Daniel and Newman are fighting for me."

"I envy you."

After the two finished making porridge on the phone, Song Ya continued to deal with business matters, A+ Audio has a relatively high debt due to hoarding land with the Amerika Music website project, but within the safety range, the most valuable thing in the hands of this company is those shares of DTC.

A+ pedal company is still the same, the profit is not high, they also have land and factories in Sunnyvale, and also own 25% of the shares of A+ clothing, the general manager Reeser is the first professional manager to take refuge in himself, do a decent job, next year he will get a little equity incentive......

Palm's situation has improved dramatically, not in his family's PDA products, of course, but in some of the software they have written to develop PDAs. The company's founder, Jeffrey Hawkinsla, contacted some major customers of Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM, and changed the software to use in their products, such as the synchronization software in HP products, and the handheld warehouse management machine manufactured by IBM to simplify warehouse management. He even reached out to Apple, and the two companies that had failed on the PDA project were in sympathy, and Apple refused to give up and simply bought some of the palm patents on handwriting recognition to improve their much-criticized Newton PDA handwriting system.

The American music magazine is still losing money, a steady one million a year, and Louise reports has turned a profit, mainly due to the increase in subscribers caused by the exclusive revelation of her romance with Mariah Carey.

Sign the papers, "Hey, by the way, isn't that Mark Anderson from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign graduating this year?" Why didn't he come to me to talk about venture capital in web browsers? He asked Linda.

"Now that the World Wide Web is growing fast and hot money is pouring into the burgeoning web industry again, Mark Anderson is one of two programmers at Mosaic, and Mosaic is very well received on the World Wide Web."

Delay doesn't care much about things other than A+ Audio now, and Song Ya didn't find a suitable lawyer to manage this part of the investment, so she had to let Linda take over temporarily, so she made up for her knowledge of the technology industry, "Another programmer, Bina, is a university employee who gets a salary, and the code he writes should belong to the university, and the venture capital has only one choice, Mark Anderson, who hid after graduation, and now no one can find him." ”

"Wait for the price to sell? This cunning guy. ”

Song Ya didn't want to let go, so he called the two tech nerds who had taken him to UIUC to learn about Mosaic, and told them to find a way to contact Mark Anderson, so he threw the matter away.

On the last day of '93, Dow announced that there would be a major business information announcement tomorrow, and because January 1 was a holiday, the stock did not have to be suspended.

Roberto Clywell came to the door out of the blue, along with his lawyer and David Cole, as well as someone from Walmart.

"Hello, APLUS."

Perhaps to get closer, Walmart sent two black mid-level men, "Let's talk? ”

"Okay."

Song Ya guessed what they were trying to do, "Roberto, you're stupid like this. ”

"Sorry, business is business." Roberto Clevard said coldly.

"But it's still stupid, you sell your shares to Walmart and it's good for me and for them, and you and David get yourself out." Song Ya said that he said that it was beneficial to him, but in fact, he did not want to introduce a large company at this time.

"I don't need someone who secretly pries me into a female singer to teach me how to do things is not stupid, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you don't want dividends at all, you regret it, introduce me to your promising business! Your A+ pedal company will take out a loan to buy land when it makes money, and so will A+ clothing company! My shares can't be realized there and I don't have the right to speak, what's the use! Didn't your own Barn company sell very simply!? Fxxk! ”

Roberto Clevell scolded: "A+ Pedal Company can only be won by me with your help!" You've forgotten how much I took care of you inside Sony Columbia Records when you were a penniless Chicago kid, right? ”

"Who did I pry?"

"Shakira! You bad boy who can't control the lower half of your body! ”

"I didn't sign her, and I didn't get her agency contract." Song Ya was inexplicable.

"Don't play dumb! Hypocritical guys! You're no longer my friend, forget it, don't talk about this, we'll only talk about business now. He was very excited, and it seemed that he had suppressed too much dissatisfaction in his heart.

"APLUS, we're bullish on your clothing brand, so we stepped in."

Two black mid-level Walmart executives took out documents, "We will buy five percent of Mr. Claywell's shares in A+ Pedal Company, and eight percent of the shares of A+ Apparel Company that he and David Cole jointly own." Since A+ Pedal owns 25% of A+ Apparel, we already have a total of 9.25% of A+ Apparel voting rights, is that correct? ”

"I don't have any voting rights, I have a decisive stake, and that's where I have the final say." Song Ya replied.

"But we're still going to send a representative of the board to work at A+." The other party said.

"Pai, pie, I'll ask Scott to give him a small office." Listening to what he meant, the deal between Wal-Mart and Roberto Clevard had been completed, Song Ya was no longer polite, and pointed to Roberto Clevell, "How many silver coins did you pay this Judas?" ”

"Say whatever you want, I'm happy with that number anyway." Roberto Clevard said.

"What did you do?" Song Ya scolded him, "You didn't do anything in those two companies!" The reason why the stocks in your hands are so valuable comes from my management! ”

"Hehe, now you and Miss Kelly don't have to please me, do you? David Cole and I are gone, and she won't use our songs anymore......"

"Uh...... Two people. ”

The Walmart guy interrupted the argument between the two, "We like the T-shirt APLUS you designed, we are optimistic about your business strategy, yes, Mr. Claywell complained to us about the company changes you made not long ago, but we felt that those operations were correct, so we raised the purchase price next year when your company's expenses increased sharply and the expected profit decreased." ”

"What do you want this stake for? You're such a big company. ”

Song Ya replied: "Your own brand is even cheaper than my T-shirt!" ”

"We need to secure relationships with some suppliers, and we can't put our eggs in one basket, right?" The other party laughed.

"So you're going to bring my t-shirt into the store?" Song Ya asked.

"Some popular models have to attach some exclusive conditions." The other party replied.

"I've had a good relationship with Target and Sears, and of course that can be talked about later."

Song Ya thought of something, "I don't allow you to continue to tempt other company shareholders, they are all my friends, I don't want to ruin my relationship with them because of money, if I find out, you don't want to get one of my T-shirts!" My attitude is clear. ”

"No, it won't." The other party assures. At this time, the mobile phone in his bag rang, and he immediately took it out and went out to answer the phone, and another Walmart person apologized to Song Ya: "I'm sorry, this is generally a very important call." ”

"It's fine." Song Ya waved his hand, "You're so stupid." Continue to complain to Roberto Clevell, "You will regret dying later." ”

"Uh......"

The person who answered the phone came in and said to Song Ya with a complicated expression: "Maybe in the future, my family's own brand will not be as cheap as your T-shirt." ”

"How?" Song Ya asked.

"The Chinese government has just announced that it will depreciate the exchange rate against rice knives from 5.8 to 8.7 at one time."
