The next day, he went to the airport to see off Fergie, Al, Dion Wilson and a group of others, they were going to London to shoot the MV for London Bridge, because A+ Records signed a five-year distribution contract with Sony Columbia Records, her first album will also be released by Sony Columbia Records, and the MV budget for the strongest single is not low, so the two sides share it equally. Then Dion Wilson was inspired by this song and also planned to rearrange and produce some of the recorded songs, for which the budget for the first album was slightly overspent, raising it to two million dollars.

"Brother, good luck."

Song Ya personally sent Phigi into the ticket gate, turned around and hugged the others one by one, "Help me keep an eye on her......" he said to Al.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Al thumped his chest with his fists, and on this single he would be a friendly friend to Dion Wilson, so he had to go to England.

"Thank you APLUS for giving me this opportunity." Another black man, Gary Gray, came up and punched him.

"You deserve it, you gave Cooper that song? Was? A? Good? Day's MV was shot very well. Song Ya said in a joking tone: "But don't change the script I set." ”

Gary Gray smiled too, "I know, don't worry. ”

In the end, he shook hands with Yeremov, "You are the producer, and I will leave it all to you." ”

Say goodbye to them and leave the airport, "Why don't we go to London with Fergie to shoot the music video?" Amy Adams, who stayed in the car, waited for Song Ya to sit in and immediately asked.

"We have another job to do."

Song Ya coaxed her, in fact, Jimmy hinted to herself that it was inconvenient to have her participation in the MV, which is normal, and no actress would want a girl who is more beautiful and eye-catching than herself in her MV, this should be Fergey's idea, although she has a good relationship with Amy.

But Amy doesn't understand these things yet, so she can only take the blame on herself.

But the two do have a bit of work, this year Target opened ten Greatland stores in Chicago in one go, Amy had previously received some of his print store advertisements, and this time they invited Song Ya to attend the opening ceremony of the Olland Park branch and cut a lottery of 250,000 dollars.

This is the first invitation to advertise a large enterprise with a good price after the nightclub incident in Harlem, although there will be a little more people there at that time, but Song Ya still decided to take it and make a good start for 93 years. Old Mike asked him to wear a bulletproof vest under his coat, anyway, everyone wears a lot of clothes in Chicago, and they can't see it.

The group arrived at the store in advance, and all the store employees were already in place, but the opening time had not yet arrived, Song Ya walked around the brand new store accompanied by the store manager and others, and the cameraman followed the shooting.

He felt that the goods inside were generally more expensive than Walmart supermarkets, and of course he hadn't visited Walmart for a long time.

whispered this feeling to Tarraghi and Amy, which immediately caused the two women to roll their eyes, "The positioning is different, okay?" The quality of the stuff here is better, and the target customers are more female, otherwise why would they invite you. Tarragi said.

Amy's print ads are mostly wearing aprons, posing with various kitchen and cleaning utensils in the store, and the target customers are also housewives.

"APLUS, TAKE IT HIGHER, OKAY."

Song Ya also found a group photo object, the A+ album in the audio-visual product area is priced at 14.99 dollars, but because it has been on sale for more than half a year, it has been put in the nine-fold area, he brought his record to his face and smiled with white teeth.

"Records sell so cheaply here."

At the end of the shoot, he noticed that many old records were heavily discounted, even cheaper than the outside video chains, and he heard that coupons could be used on top of that.

"They're in a record price war with Best Buy." Tarragi did some homework.

Song Yanunu mouthed, didn't say anything, and was taken to the door of the store by the store manager.

It was already crowded outside, all waiting for the opening guests to come in and buy bargains, more than one book were housewives, and many black bucket aunts occupied the front position.

“APLUS！” Target had publicized it in advance, and people immediately became excited when they saw Song Ya appearing in front of them.

A ribbon was held up in front of it, with Target's logo and a red bullseye on it.

Song Ya smiled and waved to the crowd, the red bullseye made him a little nervous, and the old Mike and others in front of him gave him a little sense of security.

"Can we start?" He asked the store manager beside him.

"Wait."

He and Amy and some people from the store lined up, waiting for the host to heat up the atmosphere, and then cut the ribbon with scissors on time in the countdown, Song Ya waved and smiled at the crowd again, then returned the scissors, turned around and walked into the store, and the group left quickly from the staff passage.

The gate outside has been opened to release people, countless people poured in like a tide, some people stumbled and fell to the ground, patted their butts and got up and continued to rush in, going forward and successively.

But it's none of my business, 250,000 knives are in hand.

Amy also had to stay to help stand up for the store's promotions, and because the song Show me the money itself was not so outstanding, and she didn't have many close-ups in the MV, so the development is still very average.

However, because she is very well-behaved and family-oriented, she is gradually beginning to attract the attention of some housewife-oriented advertisers.

"Bring Amy to the West Coast?" Taragi asked.

"No, now reporters are paying attention to me again." Song Ya replied that the news that he was about to enter the University of Chicago began to spread, and many reporters did not believe that he was admitted with real skills, and some people began to go to the previous high school to inquire about the situation, and his grades were nothing to question, so they let them go, as long as they were not rumored, and believed that the truth could add points to his public image after being dug up.

Time was tight, and the group rushed to Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley, where Palm happened to be located.

"Is there a prototype?"

As a potential investor with a lot of cash in hand, Palm was fully prepared for the arrival of APLUS, and several angel round investor representatives also arrived, Song Ya visited the small factory, which is unexpectedly software-oriented, and they mainly focused on writing the operating system of the PDA, so most of the partitions were programmers sitting in front of the computer.

"Please."

Founder Jeffrey Hawkins took out an LCD screen commonly used in electronic watches, which is indeed only the size of the palm of his hand, but there are various devices connected with data cables below, "These internal devices have very mature products, and they will be a lot more portable after the official products come out." ”

The product is not perfect, he is afraid that Song Ya will run away, and he will blow from the future development direction of human electronic products to Moore's Law, from his Intel work qualifications to the past success cases of angel round investors.

Song Ya was unmoved, but he knew that in the white people, sometimes the local tyrant character of black stars was a good protective color, and he asked about the A round of investment.

The other party set the company's valuation at $10 million, and now there is only one Series A investor who is willing to enter the market.

In addition to the angel round, if it is a project with good prospects, all the investors behind it are not only taking money, they have to provide a variety of resources to enter the market, such as DTS's A round, Spielberg is willing to use DTS technology to shoot Jurassic Park, B round, Universal Pictures people are willing to purchase DTS equipment to transform the theater sound system, and the C round or the next round will go to Wall Street investors to help go public.

Judging from their willingness to participate in the A round by themselves, Palm, a PDA product named Zoomer, is not favored by the venture capital industry, after all, the resources they can provide are very limited, and at most they will help advertise at a preferential price in the future.

"I heard that Apple will launch its own PDA product in August, which seems to be called Newton PDA? Do your products compete? Song Ya poured cold water on the other party.

"Well, we and Apple have our own technical advantages, we ......"

Jeffrey Hawkins hurriedly boasted again.

In fact, Song Ya didn't listen carefully, as a person who relied on the apocalypse to grasp the future, he had already seen good prospects from their series of patents, which had been understood by Delai in advance, "Okay, but my time is limited, let's set the valuation, and then I'll enter the market." Ten million is certainly not suitable, you ......"

Song Ya pointed to the other party's small working space, as well as the huge finished product, "My money can help you further improve the product, after all, it is the famous Apple that competes with you, I heard that similar products have come out in the follow-up HP and other companies, and there are also book companies, you know, as soon as the book's electronic products come out, few companies in the United States can compete." ”

"I understand."

The executives of the other company and the angel round investment representatives held a meeting behind closed doors and pressed the company's valuation to 8 million dollars, and after Song Ya recognized it, he smashed 1.6 million yuan and easily got 20% of the shares.

Then he went to C-CUBE to meet Sun Yansheng and a director of Huaguo Electronics Company, and in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, he invested 3 million to win 15 percent of the shares of the company called Wanyan Electronics in Huaguo, which was used to produce a player that plays movies and other video files in MEPG standard format, and was temporarily named VCD.
