Chapter 1460

"Walkman sound quality competition! Beats' comprehensive score is not as good as aplus boasts? "

"Beats Walkman seems to have serious problems of heating and power failure. Users complain that the battery life simply can't reach the nominal time."

"Beats' repair and return rates remain high."

"Young people think beats Walkman is not cool enough."

"Beats is facing patent litigation... The IPO plan is overshadowed."

In Manhattan, song Yafan sighed after reading the negative news summarized by his subordinates.

The advantage of competing with apple and jobs is that you don't need to worry that people like motura will take black hands outside the rules of the game, but the pressure is even more amazing with honest business methods alone.

The main markets of Apple's iPod and its beats are developed countries such as North megalopolis and Western Europe, which can be described as close combat. After ordinary users spend the fresh period, beats is obviously at a complete disadvantage. The sales data show that the shipment volume in the same period is only about one eighth of that of iPod.

Even if it is only one eighth, the small sales peak on Valentine's day may be subject to the shortage of mini hard drives.

Out of stock is one of the most annoying things for channel providers. In those years, Sega's game console had a bad relationship with channel providers because it failed to deal with this problem in the North American market.

Apple's influence is omni-directional. Advertisers, technology media, evaluation institutions, channels, supply chains... For a time, true and false news flew all over the world, and the newborn beats walkman was facing a major crisis.

Songya looks out the window of the car. The promotion show of beats Walkman is going on in the small square. The old brother NAS is working hard to create an atmosphere with his attendants. Supermodel Adriana Lima twists her posture with the rap rhythm beside him.

In the background building behind, Adriana Lima is also wearing headphones and holding a large advertising poster of beats walkman. She is a plane spokesman. Beats Walkman is not a luxury consumer product in the fashion circle. She can speak for beats at a high price, which is very helpful to her promotion in the model circle.

Her long black hair and her wolf like face and eyes are in line with beats' Cool temperament.

"Aplus, 3Com has made clear its intention to acquire handspring. What do you think?"

Jeffrey Hawkins called. After he left the palm company he founded, palm was owned by 3Com. Now Songya still holds 5% of its shares and a director.

"3Com is not doing well, is it?"

Song Ya asked. 3com's network equipment products are overwhelmed by competitors such as Cisco and juniper. At present, it is introducing a Chinese company to survive as a foreign aid.

"Yes, they can't get so much cash, share exchange and M & A, but this is a good opportunity for us to get back the control of palm! 3Com doesn't have much bargaining capital now!"

Jeffrey Hawkins launched a new smartphone product in handspring. He still needs to buy PalmOS authorization, even if it is the operating system he personally created before he left. "Palm is a listed company and can save him from going through the IPO program again!"

"Let's talk first."

Jeffrey Hawkins wants to go back and is very excited. As he said: take back the control of palm he founded before and after. The merger can also eliminate internal friction between two PDA and smartphone product lines of the same blood, which means that both sides lose one competitor.

Strictly speaking, he is his own man, but the actual relationship is more similar to that of a partner. Song Ya is also unwilling to fall into a hard battle in the PDA and smartphone market outside the Walkman front, so he promised.

“Hey！”

Talking about business, I don't know when Adriana Lima has finished the activity task. She opened the door and sat in.

The long straight legs of the supermodel first appeared in Song Ya's line of vision, and then the latin girl's warm embrace and kisses. She just jumped out of a thin sweat, accompanied by perfume and youthful flavor, and the vitality was pressing.

The girl has some... Old school character? Every time you receive your own luxury goods and job opportunities, you will return carefully selected small gifts.

"What?" Song Ya asked after weighing the gift box.

"Open it."

She smiled. "Hi, Grandpa Mike." he put his chin on the back of the front seat and said hello to old Mike, the driver.

"Hello, Adriana," old Mike replied with a bitter smile.

"Goodbye! NAS!" then he pressed the window again, leaned out his head and waved goodbye to NAS and others who had also finished there. He was busy for a moment.

In other words, the fixed forest is basically the same age or older than herself. Adriana's' youth 'and vitality are another kind of enjoyment. Songya didn't care about her and opened the gift box, "I have it."

It is a home-made product. Jeffrey Hawkins's favorite work last year: handspring treo270, which is also the smartphone he is using.

"But the agent told me that this is the latest model just coming out!?" Adriana turned back and screamed in disappointment.

The young supermodel reminds Songya of Mira, and the English with a Latin accent is very similar to Shakira, but it is better than Mira and taller than Shakira.

"Oh, indeed."

Song Ya saw the words GPRS on the outer package of the mobile phone. He remembered that this was the 2003 treo270 newly released by handspring this year. It was a follow-up model he was using. The performance was slightly enhanced, and there was more GPRS function supporting faster network speed. "Thank you, Adriana."

"Fortunately..." she covered her chest and rejoiced that she had not given the wrong gift.

Old Mike drove the car. Songya took out the mobile phone and studied it. It's black... Strictly speaking, it's steel gray plastic body and short and thick antenna. In order to protect the 4096 color, 160 by 160 pixel touch screen that is easy to scratch, there is a transparent plastic flip cover. Open the cover. Below is a row of full letter buttons.

Adelia's agent bought the version without binding the operator contract. It's more expensive. The price should be $699. However, because song YALAO's mobile phone has a phone book and other information, it can't be said that he can use it immediately with a different card.

She bought one herself, and Songya played with her.

Open the transparent flip and press the Blazer browser icon to access the Internet through GSM network. It seems that the Internet speed of GPRS version is indeed much faster.

But it is still very slow. Jeffrey Hawkins uses the Blazer browser because it saves and accelerates the optimization of many large websites. For ordinary users, the current mobile wireless internet rate is still relatively expensive.

When you open yahoo page, it is very different from the current mainstream PC browser ie. it is basically full of text, a lot of messy pictures are missing, and some complex page functions are also missing.

"Facing a large number of lawsuits again, MJ is likely to lose custody of his three children."

"The R. Kelly case opened in March. Like Simpson and aplus, he also spent a lot of money to form a dream lawyer group."

Song Ya briefly browsed the entertainment news of Yahoo. The two black lights still haven't got out of trouble. At present, the victimization alliance is chasing and beating up MJ's mental state and taking his youngest son out of the hotel balcony in Germany. Gloria orred, a California female lawyer who has harassed him for ten years, has launched a lawsuit together with a child protection organization, Other former bodyguards, former gardeners and former servants who took advantage of the fire came on stage again.

R Kelly's case is relatively simple. After aliya and other insiders refused to testify, the key witness of the video, the victim's underage girl and the girl's old singer uncle, were willing to testify that he was the absolute winner.

Because the case was also fought in Chicago, Songya saw many familiar faces in the dream lawyers, such as Diane Lockhart and will Gardner who once represented themselves... And some black barristers in Detroit, basically from the two basic cities of R Kelly.

After Song Ya's calculation, this configuration will make R Kelly pay a lot of blood. If the short-term lawsuit cannot be ended, it will be settled by $10 million.

Interesting

Alicia is now the state prosecutor of Cook County. For such a high-profile case, Alicia will certainly not miss the opportunity to go to court and be the main prosecutor of the prosecution and enjoy the spotlight.

So... Former law firm colleagues are going to face off.

Songya puts down her mobile phone. Adriana doesn't want to disturb him. She has taken out another book from her bag and is reading it silently. As a Brazilian, she is also reading Portuguese books, but Songya recognizes the cover, "style?"

"Yes."

Sure enough, it is Paul Seymour's best-selling book: style. Song Ya read it and was deeply impressed by the nine classes described in the book, including the top, upper, middle and upper classes, the middle class, the upper poor, the middle poor, the lower poor, the extremely poor and the invisible bottom

The so-called anxiety of the middle class and the infatuation with the so-called "elegance", "nobility" and "taste", Paul Seychelles pointed out to all classes in his book, listing a lot of small paragraphs on how to see through the upper class disguised by the middle class or upstart, or on the contrary, how to teach the middle class and upstart how not to be seen through, such as speech, behavior, choice of words and sentences, clothing, education What brand do you use... So on.

Song Ya's special antithesis is still fresh in his memory of how to decorate the living room in the style of "old money". The book even scores all kinds of furnishings in the living room one by one. The fake Tiffany lamp is reduced by four points, and the real one is increased by three points. The older the superior Oriental style carpet, the higher the score, and so on

If the final score is more than 245, you are an upper class. If it is less than 50, you are a lower class poor. Very operable.

Shirley Finn carefully rearranged her living room in Los Angeles like a Bible. She also asked for a lot of paintings from herself, and got more than 245 points.

But song Ya felt like that after seeing it

"These desires, which are burning, expanding and frustrated in the heart, begin to bite the heart secretly and in vain. We can see the pain and suffering of the heart everywhere."

Adriana read in English: "only an alternative who is detached from the depression and anxiety caused by class chaos is an American who really enjoys the freedom promised on the coin."

“Bullshxt！”

Songya still didn't think so, but he thought of something, "Mike, go around there..."

He asked old Mike to swing around outside an apple store in Manhattan.

Should it be the year before last? Apple began to imitate gateway to build its own direct retail store. Gateway placed his computer in the store, but it was only used for display. Customers paid for the good style and left the address, and gateway delivered it to the door.

This model achieved partial success, but gateway finally lost to Dell, which provided telephone optional ordering, door-to-door service and more convenient.

Apple is better than the gateway... Yes, it has a higher style, high-quality service, carefully arranged exhibition halls with a sense of design and the layout of all ecological products. It uses computers to display all kinds of Apple's software and teach customers to use it. There is an iPod next to it, and it can also listen to music

There is no other electronic product store that always surrounds you to urge and deceive you to buy products, which Apple imitates the self-help purchase principle of gap, a clothing chain.

The regular price goods in Direct stores are even more expensive than those in external electronic stores! But Apple still miraculously succeeded in the case of the outside world. It has opened 50 stores in quanmi. It is said that it will continue to expand this year

Beats also takes the traditional supply chain way to supply electronic products to Dalian lock stores, and even best buy, Wal Mart and other supermarkets, which makes it very difficult to maintain the style of the same price as apple. In order to sell goods quickly, those stores are secretly poking a price war, even if beats orders repeatedly.

They won't cut prices openly, special offers, coupons, small gifts, and Wal Mart's unique skill to exempt you from consumption tax in disguise when checking out

In the MP3 Walkman market, which has become a red sea with many miscellaneous brands, even if it's not your intention, if you lower the price first than apple, it means that your style is not high and cool. Therefore, when your style falls into the company of those miscellaneous brands, customers will be more and more reluctant to pay a high premium for your products.

Daniel and the big six of the record industry were caught in the game with these guys, and finally got the antitrust handle of joint resale price maintenance.

Although the Ministry of Commerce held up the so-called billions of fines, which fell gently with the decline of the recording industry, a total of more than 80 million yuan was fined

"Well..."

Song Ya thought of the vicious circle in which his grey goose vodka was cheaper and lower in style.

Copy Apple's direct marketing model? No, selling walkmans alone is not worth so much investment.

According to intelligence, Ron Johnson, who was dug up by apple from target, presided over this direct marketing model. Songya even knew him and had dealt with him when he went to target stores to advertise for opening.

Songya later tried to dig Ron Johnson and Apple's supply chain master cook, but they were rejected. The attraction of working for apple is undoubtedly greater than beats.

It's hard to make consumer electronics! He sighed to himself.

Unless

What MP3 player, smart phone and laptop business are brought together to unify the image and ecology like apple

When Tribeca's home arrived, old Mike drove the car into the underground garage. Song Ya shook her head and temporarily drove her troubles out of her head. She got out of the car with Adriana laughing and walked into the elevator.

"Where's your boyfriend? Amy."

In Hollywood, the war of the award season has begun. After cold mountain and Moulin Rouge lost their nominations twice, Nicole Kidman, who is completely on the list as the king of awards, can feel that this film has a great chance to win the film all the time this year. Amy Adams, a strong enemy supported by her boyfriend aplus, seems to have half given up, which makes her heart full of black law old PTSD.

"He seems to be busy with the New Jersey investment bank."

Without Songya's courage, Amy just lost to the other party in an award just now. Amy faced the Hollywood elder alone. The high horse in Australia was still at a disadvantage. After a false hug, she asked, "are you looking for him?"

"No, just ask."

Who's looking for the stinging bee who turned his face and didn't admit it? Nicole Nuo mouth reluctantly, "take pictures together?"

"OK."

Nicole hugged Amy. They instantly switched to battle mode and showed the most proud pose to the reporter's lens.

She is confident that she can impress each other in this group photo.

"Harvey is looking for you." then the agent sent Kingsley to whisper.

"OK... Sorry."

She used to resist Harvey's insincerity. After each time, she felt disgusted and wanted to vomit. However, Harvey was trustworthy. At least she had more credibility than the stinging bee. After eating her sincere help, Harvey's dead fat pig face felt cute.

During this time, in order to win awards, she had to frequently participate in TV interviews and talk shows. Every time, she said she didn't talk about her ex husband's beautiful soup, but every time, under the questioning of the host, she would "follow the trend" to talk about her marriage and emotional problems with each other, rubbing the heat of her ex husband.

Tired and old, she even had the idea of using her charm to bind Harvey.

"Mr. Weinstein..."

After saying goodbye to Amy, she moved to hug the new benefactor affectionately. She was no longer angry and afraid of being photographed by paparazzi. She took the initiative to hug Harvey. Like those female stars who were helped to win the award by Harvey, she tooted her lips and kissed Harvey's fat pig face in front of the camera.

"Ha ha ha!"

Harvey laughed, satisfied, and the flesh on his chin shook.

"Don't worry, there are no obstacles after this Oscar."

After dodging the camera, Harvey proudly patted his chest.

"Thank you..." she knew the rules and was about to express her gratitude with practical actions. Harvey waved from a distance and called another film queen nominee: Latin Actress Salma Hayek, and then put one hand around their waist. "Let's... Go upstairs?"

"Harvey..." Salma Hayek was very satisfied with the Oscar nomination this year and pretended to protest.

“……”

She was very disappointed and her smile froze on her face.

"Nicole?" Harvey pressed his hand.

I can't look back. Considering the sunk cost

"Well..." she had to bite her teeth and promise.

A few days later, Harvey sent a text message and directly gave the hotel room number.

Already, it doesn't matter... She had to come to the door on her own initiative.

"Ho!"

Unexpectedly, there was a beautiful young white girl in Harvey's room. When she saw her, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise and her eyes widened.

"Know her? I didn't lie to you? Just a text message..."

Harvey proudly pointed to her, boasted to the girl and continued to seduce, "don't worry, I won't let you suffer. You can choose a good role in Hollywood, and you can get a movie queen like her in the future. This is my guarantee!"

Hollywood's top actress and Liang Tang's ex-wife all came at once. The girl immediately fell into Harvey's power and no longer hesitated.

"Nicole, close the door, thank you."

Harvey roared and arched the girl towards the suite bedroom. "We'll wait for you!"

She closed the door and leaned limply behind the door. How did this happen? She knows very well that the mouth of this pure new girl is not like Salma Hayek, a famous actress who already knows the rules! Harvey is at risk of playing off in the future!

Embarrassment, regret, shame, anger... Fear.

Various emotions climbed into my heart.

Cover your eyes and sob silently

Harvey's behavior is too low. Not to mention his ex husband's soup, it's even worse than that stinging bee!

Black law old color to color, at least have some basic respect for women, and will also help keep secrets!
