Chapter 636

"Dilai, tell the website operation and maintenance personnel that I want to delete a post..."

What he promised to do still had to be done. He called delay. "Right now, I'll wait in front of the computer."

"What post? Ok I wrote it down. "

Delay hung up the phone, and quickly called back to say that it was done. Song Ya refreshed the next page, and sure enough, that large round-trip discussion was all gone.

He called barenboy again. Naturally, the other party was very happy and expressed his thanks on behalf of his "student".

"I have recently started to receive similar requests. From now on, the Internet is definitely the first to replace paper media."

A few days later, delay took Alicia and CFO (chief financial officer) in charge of listing and docking with DTS to visit a + records. "For example, AOL (American online) took advantage of their Internet interface advantages to set up news websites and BBS communities, and its influence was growing."

"What do you mean?" Song Ya asked.

"I want to expand the Americana music website to become a news website in the music circle. Now many people in the classical music circle like to discuss it in our BBS section. Why not expand the layout to the pop music circle? That's a lot more users than the guys in the classical music world who don't look up. "

Among his two old brothers, he is ten thousand times better than Al, although Al is now satisfied with the work of famous singers, celebrities in Chicago's music circle, and permanent guests of interview programs.

However, for song ya, Dilai has its own problem, that is, he wants to reinvest all the profits and even the long-term profits of a + audio as collateral, so that he can get the maximum benefits when the equity incentive period comes. This proposal does not need to be thought about. It must require more investment in Internet hardware.

"Yes, I agree in principle."

Song Yazhen didn't want to make small moves on his expected shares. He always felt that he was trying to be a gentleman with a mean heart. However, it also showed that delay was becoming more and more mature. His thinking and behavior are the regular reaction of professional managers in the United States. As long as he didn't play tricks like Guber of Columbia film, he would be able to pit the management.

He also thinks it is a good opportunity to expand the influence of Americana music website into the pop music circle. Although he seldom sits in front of a computer recently, he still knows a lot about the stock prices of a number of Companies in the Internet sector, such as AOL, such as usr, which bought palm, which is soaring.

If barrenboy didn't ask for himself, he would not actively invite the Scott brothers to Chicago to meet him. However, the creation of this demand was almost cost-free for him. He just deleted a post. This is also the "convenience" of traditional media, and to some extent, it is also power.

The two sides talked about the main topic. DTS's listing has entered the countdown. Now it is preparing to launch a road show. In addition to some advertising campaigns for investors, a promotion meeting has been held on Wall Street.

"The promotion meeting was not as effective as expected."

The CFO of DTS has been very busy recently, and the 40 year old white man seems to be depressed. "The market is not optimistic about the future of an audio technology company. The biggest problem is that they don't think we can compete with Dolby labs and Sony's SDDs."

"DTS already has a good market in the film industry, isn't it?"

Song Ya asked: "now more and more film companies have begun to incorporate DTS into the audio format of new projects in order to increase the number of theaters. They are juxtaposed with Dolby and SDDs. In my opinion, there are audio codes compatible with three formats on the copies of Hollywood new films."

"Yes, we are doing well."

CFO nodded, "but the IPO is actually a process of public financing. We need to explain to investors where we want to spend the money and what the expected return is. In essence, we want to tell a good story that we all recognize. If we are only satisfied with standing firmly in the professional cinema market, why should we go public? We have achieved at most one-third of the professional cinema market, or one of the three surviving companies. Originally, that market was not big... "

"What is the selling point of our story?" Song Ya asked.

"The market share of surround sound in home theater is much larger than that in professional market. Our president Terry Bild intends to put his treasure on the next generation of home audio-visual media, namely SD disc format. Only that kind of high-capacity CD-ROM can be added with large data volume of surround sound music files. Therefore, we will use the money from the post IPO circle to acquire a series of small and medium-sized technology companies with relevant patents, and squeeze into the supporting industries of SD format. "

"But the problem now is that SD format may not win. Our camp includes Toshiba, Time Warner, Panasonic, Hitachi, etc Because Toshiba bought the Rockefeller Center and privately exported machine tools to CCCP, it was disgusted by the American people, and Panasonic was about to sell globegroup. Therefore, its influence must be greatly reduced. "

CFO analyzed one by one, "and our rivals are the DVD alliance formed by Sony and Philips. Sony has Columbia Pictures and Columbia Records, and the most popular song stars of this era, such as MJ, Maria Kelly, you, Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand, Michael Burton, etc. Philips has Polaroid. Last year, Philips bought Motown and defjam records and other influential music products upstream companies. Their VCD standards in underdeveloped areas are also well promoted. ""The market is more optimistic that they win, we At most, it will be even. "

Are the two formats incompatible Song Ya asked.

"There is no problem in technology, but the next generation of audio-visual media standards are accompanied by a huge market. The two sides are fighting each other. No one in this camp is allowed to betray. As you know, DTS has a close relationship with globegroup, and globegroup undoubtedly belongs to Panasonic camp now."

"I see." Song ya probably made it clear, "then you come here to me to..."

"We need your help endorsing the SD format and DTS listing platform, just as you support those politicians."

CFO replied frankly: "you are not only a star, but also the inventor of the famous saying" pig on the wind "in the investment circle. Maybe everyone needs to take advantage of your luck now."

"No problem, our business together."

Song Ya promised to come down, "you can discuss the specific itinerary and attitude with delay and Linda. As long as I have time, I will try my best."

"Well, thank you, Mr. aplus."

The CFO was happy to leave with delay.

"What do you think? Alicia. " Song Ya saw Alicia deliberately left alone and knew she had something to say.

"Me?"

Alicia grinned sheepishly. "I don't know much about this. I just focus on the legal work of a + audio to protect your relevant interests after DTS goes public. Aplus, er, your record company Do you want to change your agency? " Alicia asked suddenly.

It's very straightforward. I'm greedy. Do you really think I gave you the legal business of a + Audio because of your good service? "Not yet. I'm very satisfied with the services provided by Goodman and Hamlin." Song Ya refused.

"So..."

She got up disappointed. "That won't disturb you. If you have a chance, you must consider my law firm. Goodbye?"

"Yes, goodbye."

Song Ya shakes hands with her, looks at the graceful figure of this beautiful mature girl turning away, nununuogu mouth, suppresses the impulse of whistling.

"Jim Clark."

Linda walked into the office with her mobile phone.

"Hey, aplus, I decided to list Netscape operation this year, and then you should help us to show up frequently and meet with investors and securities dealers." Jim Clark, Netscape's boss, said out loud and affectionately.

"No, go public?"

Song Ya was stunned. It's no wonder that Jim Clark would say that DTS is as slow as snail, and the pace of listing is too fast. "If I don't get it wrong, Netscape can't even find the profit direction right now? What story can we tell investors? "

"The story depends on the level of the storyteller. Netscape browser will make a professional version and sell it at the same price as buying software. Will the profit be there?" Jim Clark replied.

"But the current trend in the Internet industry is free and free sharing..."

"The story is not necessarily based on facts, regardless of the atmosphere. Our advantage is market share. Everyone is using our browser. Then we can make a lot of money through this advantage, right?" Jim Clark laughed.

"What big money? For example? "

"For example, we can let users directly access our browser client, and can use various software services like office without windows, UINX and other operating systems. What level of software are windows and office and what is the market value of Microsoft? Well? "

"Bypass windows? Will Microsoft be happy to see it? " Song Ya was surprised.

"I don't care if Bill Gates is happy, but we have a story." Jim Clark replied.
