Chapter 1464

All STB companies have been planted, but they are not bankrupt. The trio can afford a small private plane. They are on their way while contacting apple. They just arrived at the airport and boarded the plane. Unfortunately, they met a 757 landing painted with a huge a +.

Today's plane belongs to Ross private and is also the largest one in the trio, but it looks like a low and dilapidated bungalow in the comparison of 757.

When the enemy met, the three people who had not slept well for a long time by the STB bankruptcy crisis had even more red eyes. With dark circles under their eyes, Baba watched 757 slide into the apron all the way.

"I really want to go and beat him up," Rose said fiercely.

"Forget it."

Unlike Ross, as a former CTO with the best technology, 3dfx sincerely retained Scott. If he compromised in those years, he must be worth more than 100 million now. It's false to say he didn't regret it. Scott said angrily to his old brother, "who beat who? Let's go..."

After Ross's small plane took off, the three continued to stare at 757 on the ground through the porthole. The enemy's body was not found. Instead, they saw one fat black man after another walking down the boarding ladder.

Ross subconsciously shrinks his neck and turns sadly to close his eyes.

"Hum..."

Maria Kelly appeared at the cabin door after her bucket aunt's singing group. She stood and put a pose, and then scanned the black Mercedes Benz team that came to pick up the plane.

“Mimi！”

Follow the sound to find the little ex husband who is sticking his head out of the back seat of one of the cars, shouting and waving. He immediately pouted unhappily and walked over reluctantly.

The back door was pushed open, and the little ex husband smiled and leaned to the other side to make room.

"I'm too lazy to get off the bus, aren't I?" I beat him when I sat in.

"Oh! There are many people with mixed eyes. Hey, hey..."

The little ex husband hugged him affectionately with his face. "Why are you here in Silicon Valley? Ow! Ow!"

"Can't you come?"

After a few slaps to establish her position, she changed a better face, but said to the driver old Mike, "Hi, Mike."

Old Mike smiled and exchanged greetings with her, started the car and drove to Songya's new home in Palo Alto.

This white French mansion close to Stanford University and the center of Silicon Valley has no long history. The land of 1000 square meters was bought by McNeely, the founder and chairman of Sun company. It is a brand-new self built house. In its early years, the small villa can no longer match the identity of Songya's top rich, and 3dfx emperor doesn't need to travel to and from Silicon Valley with such a low profile.

After Microsoft released the direct competition of. Net strategy and suffered a stock disaster, the market value and situation of Sun became worse and worse. While 3dfx made a fortune, his family also made a fortune last year, with a huge loss of 500 million, triggering another * * decline in the share price.

Silicon Valley tycoon McNeely himself is not short of money. Although his name has quietly disappeared from the global rich list last year, he can't talk about being so careful to anger the black Pharaoh who chose to alliance with Microsoft. In the face of high price purchase, he generously cut off one third of this private land, and the two became neighbors in the South and the north.

"I fired Sandy and Lee."

This "small" house in the center of Silicon Valley, which is full of land and money, can't lift the interest of Maria Kelly, who owns 40 acres of Bedford manor. She has only one top priority in her mind: renew the contract, and the renewal amount required to send the release must not be less than 100 million in Whitney Houston.

Even if it's only the so-called 100 million, it's difficult to do in the current record industry shrouded in melancholy. Her agent sandy Glenn is getting older and her contacts are getting older. She can't get what she wants, so she launched Diva temper and fired people.

Now she will communicate with herself in advance. Songya simply asked her to fire lawyer Li Phillips, and took this opportunity to completely drive David Gefen's friends away from his ex-wife and legitimate son.

This move triggered a new round of fear of David Geffen and Harvey Weinstein. They contacted and asked again in various ways. Songya wanted this effect and was perfunctory until they met at the Academy Awards ceremony.

"The new president of Sony Columbia Records is more stingy than Harry Rubin," she complained.

It was Howard Stringer's old subordinates and outsiders in the recording industry who took over as Rick Rubin, and it was even more impossible to manage the company with the style of artists. "If you don't ask for such a high renewal fee, you will break the head in the sixth conference." Songya advised her, "Mimi, we don't have to argue with Whitney Houston. What's her image in the past two years? She can't even get half of the 100 million Alistair records."

At MJ's 30th anniversary concert before September 11, Whitney Houston showed off her skinny image, and the media tabloids began to pay attention to the suspicion of diva. She almost admitted in a disguised form in an exclusive interview with ABC last year, and the sales of new specials at the end of last year were also poor and the momentum plummeted. Song fans have been frantically attacking her husband Bobby Brown, who had been hit with a criminal record in the early years, said Whitney It was spoiled by him.

"Hum, she also plans to release a Christmas album this year!"

Her ex-wife is very nervous about the meal ticket of alliwantforchristmasisyou's long-term Christmas song. Whitney Houston also wants to send the news of Christmas special, which makes her feel very crisis. Besides, Diva's career ups and downs are very normal. Who knows that the other party won't turn red again and again like Madonna and Cher?

Who can tell the future clearly? In fact, she has some inherent thinking about this anxiety. Who will compete with the diva in the 1990s? Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are the hot spots. Last year, there were super newcomers Avril, Nora Jones who won the Grammy four chase events and the best pop female singer award last month.

Nora Jones is the daughter of ravishanka, an Indian music giant. Ravishanka's music has a far-reaching impact on the Beatles and even the hippie generation in the West.

This Grammy also nominated several awards for his 26 albums, including the best annual album. Song Ya still didn't go, the Grammy still didn't give awards, and song Ya's media still scolded them according to three meals.

Ex wife... Even worse, the entertainment industry is always a new generation for the old.

Songya turned to ask: "Sony Columbia Records does not renew its contract... Which one is more sincere?"

"Hum!"

Speaking of this, his ex-wife was angry and said, "it's all your fault! Few people in the record industry don't hate you! It's bothering me!"

"Not so... Ow! Ow! Stop it! There are many guests coming later."

They fought and walked into the bedroom. Once alone, Maria Kelly suddenly made a 180 degree turn in her attitude. She put down her bag and turned around, wrapped her little ex husband's neck and took the initiative to toot her mouth.

"Well..."

Song Yabian felt strange while lingering. What's the matter today? "What's the matter?"

"That..."

She looked like a little girl, "why don't you just let metropolis record sign me? I'll let you be my boss." she winked and winked.

"Er..."

"Good, good?" the ex-wife sniffed from his neck to his chest like a small animal, and swayed her arms.

"Metropolis is also difficult now..."

Songya dare not tell the truth. Metropolis records, which owns artists such as jazz, Lincoln, stupid punk, destiny, Alicia case and foxybrown, is the record label with the best profitability in recent years. It can't be called difficult, but others give their ex-wife a contract that claims 100 million, which may not be implemented even half of the money after gambling, It's totally different from signing your ex-wife directly.

The $100 million will be paid by yourself. If you dare to buckle, you'll be beaten up at three or five o'clock!

That's 100 million

Both sides know each other too well, "hum!" the ex-wife immediately tore off her disguise and restored her true face, "I knew it! I knew it! I don't think I'm popular and can't sell records, right?! scum man! Angang..."

"Oh! Oh! I can't stand you!"

Songya bounced away from the ferocious iron hoofs she kicked while crying.

"Hello, hello..."

However, when the guests came one after another, the ex-wife changed her face again, dressed in a red evening dress and wearing that kind of old-fashioned dress scarf, and stood next to her little ex husband to greet the guests with grace.

"Hello... Ms. Kelly."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Kelly."

Silicon Valley's technology heroes are not prevented from meeting Diva here. They all behave a little restrained and think it's normal. After all, ex husband and ex-wife, but what about the new actress Laura lemsey when they came here yesterday? Well, it's better not to ask.

‘Hello，Moto……’

At this time, the classic slogan of Motorola mobile phone came from the hall behind. Maria Kelly turned on the radar and immediately turned back to turn off the TV.

Motorola returned to the GSM camp after going through the detour of the iridium plan. The unique cover design V70 mobile phone released last year sold well all over the world, bringing its mobile phone Department back to the first camp in the industry.

But that's not the point. Motorola's mobile phone spokesman is Madonna who doesn't deal with his ex-wife.

"Don't close it. We'll see it later."

Songya quickly took back the remote control and turned it on again.

"Hum!"

The arm was twisted again. "Please sit down." Song Ya smiled bitterly and continued to greet the guests.

Today is the day Apple releases its iTunes music store. Song Ya and the guests sit down one after another to prepare for real-time research and judgment while watching.

Before the opening, he looked at the youngest white man in the room, only in his early twenties, Sean fanning, the founder of Napster.

After a period of trial and contact, he and Jeffrey Hawkins chose fanning from Napster's two founders of the same name and abandoned another Sean, Sean Parker.

The reason is that fanning still chose to stay in the industry combining recording and Internet after Napster's failure. His start-up company, snap, has just started the research on genuine sales of P2P songs through digital registration and digital certificate distribution, which coincides with beats's intention to follow the iTunes music store.

Parker, the other founder, has not "reformed" and is still maintaining Napster's way of doing things. He has got green shirt and other angels. Plaxo is making online contact software. The main way to promote it is to deceive users to download through various trap links spread to the network through spam and virus, and then fool investors with the number of good-looking users.

After investigation, Parker's own living habits are also more publicized and degenerate, which is naturally ignored by Songya, who advocates honest management.

Therefore, Songya asked Jeffrey Hawkins to acquire fanning's start-up company snap at a high premium through beats's parent company handspring.

And because the earlier angel investor of snap is the famous timely rain in Silicon Valley, Ron Conway, who has invested in Napster, Google, paypal and other Internet companies, and Ron Conway, who chose to keep his shares in snap, also came today.

Ron Conway is accompanied by his friend and Netscape founder Mark Anderson. The others are Jeffrey Hawkins and his old partner Donna Dubinsky, who has started a business together since the palm era. Donna is now the CEO of beats. She also worked for apple in her early years.

And William Zhang, CEO of the new goto search engine company, Terry beard, founder of DTS, a real roomful of technology bosses.

"Did Warner records join?" tribild asked.

"Yes, it was compromised before the last minute," Songya replied.

Warner records management still didn't resist. It's no wonder they. Disney Records, which have the closest cooperation with them, joined Apple's iTunes music store plan early. "Where's your snap? Have you talked with major record companies?" he asked fanning.

"Yes, but they all refused. My reputation in them... Is not very good."

Napster almost ruined the record industry at its peak, fanning replied shyly.

Songya and Jeffrey Hawkins look at each other. It's their responsibility to talk to the six major record companies later. Snap and fanning just hide behind the scenes and concentrate on technology.

Napster before the stock disaster was very popular. Although it failed to IPO from beginning to end, fanning had seen the world. With the help of angel investors and Silicon Valley tycoon Ron Conway, the acquisition of snap Songya had to be replaced by a small number of shares of handspring and beats.

"Here we go."

Apple's press conference was held on time. It was Jobs's consistent style. It was minimalist design, large screen and dressed in a three piece suit, namely Miyake life black T-shirt, Levi's jeans and NewBaron shoes.

Jobs attached great importance to the iTunes music store around the iPod ecosystem: the iTunes Store. As soon as he changed his usual slow introduction, he kept throwing concepts, comparisons and introductions from the beginning. Soon, he showed the record companies supporting music stores. The six logos of universal, Sony Columbia, Warner, Disney, BMG and EMI appeared in the same freeze frame picture.

Songya silently clenched her teeth and moved her ass on the sofa.

Ron Conway quietly focused on the old black law man who had never dealt with before. Speaking of this, the young hybrid began to invest in the Internet industry when Mark Anderson and Jim Clark founded Netscape, which is older than his "qualifications" in Silicon Valley!

He noticed this little move and asked, "the big six will also support beats music stores, right?"

"No problem." the big six can't let Apple monopolize, "but we have to make the software first. It's up to Sean..." he smiled at fanning.

Fanning stared at the TV screen under pressure. So far, the real face of iTunes music store has not appeared.

"There's no problem with global music?" Ron Conway naturally heard of the feud between the black Pharaoh and global.

"Business is business," Song Ya replied.

Doug Morris, President of universal music, has long made long bets. There must be no problem. Ron Meyer, President of universal entertainment, the parent company, is very cunning and doesn't want to offend people for no reason, but it's difficult to ensure that the higher Vivendi universal and the Bronfman family don't interfere.

However, with the huge losses reported for two consecutive years, CEO Messier was ousted and little Bronfman lost his influence, the attitude of the new leadership should change.

At this time, the main page of iTunes music store appeared on the big screen. Everyone leaned forward and tried to observe every detail.

"There seems to be no fundamental difference between the interface and early iTunes!" fanning said excitedly.

"Yes, there are more album and single covers, as well as some songs, singer profiles and tags."

Apple seems to have brought out an old soup. The software interface has not changed much from the previous version of iTunes, and the new music store is more colorful.

ITunes has always been difficult to use. Everyone feels that there may be a chance to overtake in the corner.

Jobs probably realized this, and the subsequent explanation did not normally carry out religious lyricism, but became very detailed. He talked about almost all functions, and the total length seemed to be close to an hour.

"Hoo..." Songya was a little relieved. He was most afraid that Apple would bring out a brand-new and revolutionary thing like the original iPod. Now he seems to be worried too much.

But now the problem is that others have it but they don't! Even according to fanning's previous plan, it will take at least half a year for the new beats music store, which integrates snap digital certificate technology and Napster user interface, to achieve similar rich functions of iTunes.

Thought of this and subconsciously tut his mouth.

"Maybe we can do this directly with the website."

William Zhang knows what the boss is worried about. "It's like napster.com in the later stage, so users don't need to download and install a new software, and directly use IE browser to log in and operate their own music library. Just like beats website users manage their own song music reviews, we can even give a connection to let users directly check the album scores, rather than simple profiles and tags."

"You can also connect with handspring PDAs and smartphones," Jeffrey Hawkins said.

"It's like buying books on Amazon," said Ron Conway.

"IE has security problems and is easy to be cracked and downloaded illegally." Mark Anderson still complains about Microsoft.

"Yes, then the record companies will be very angry with us. Apple chose to do it for a reason. It would rather be a little troublesome." tribild nodded.

"There's no problem with my digital certificate technology," fanning said. "Now pirated music can be downloaded everywhere. Why do users have to detour and crack the genuine version... Most people can't even delete songs to make room for their hard disk."

While listening to jobs on the TV, the big guys brainstorm every word.

The ex-wife has fallen asleep on the sofa.

"Wait!"

At this time, Donna Dubinsky, who had not spoken, frowned, "wait! Did jobs just say that this software supports windows?"

"I don't think so."

"No..."

"I didn't hear it."

Everyone looked at each other and said, "no, right? Now Apple's market share may be less than 5%... And it is widely used in the working scenes of recording, film and publishing industry. Who will install this on the company's computer?"

"Really not?" Song Ya sat up straight and his eyes lit up.

When jobs introduced the software update, we can finally be sure! This crap only supports Apple's own OS!

"Ha ha ha!"

The room burst into laughter.
