"Hotmail has completed financing. With a leading market share, they took the lead in launching a free policy and burning money to expand market share. This shows that we are confident and we should have no chance."

A+ Venture Capital President Dr. Chen said in a phone consultation from Song Ya immediately: "I don't know how much Hotmail is valued now, but the combined value of the two founders of Silicon Valley Legend has exceeded 100 million."

"Shxt!"

It must be late, "They are the boss, who is the second child?" Song Ya asked.

"Microsoft has its own plain text mail client. Hotmail can only be said to be the leader of Web mail service providers. The second largest market share is RocketMail, RocketMail. I heard that it is also preparing to follow up Hotmail's free strategy."

Dr. Chen replied, "But this has a strong parent company and doesn't need to take venture capital money at all."

"Shxt! Fxxk!"

It was late, all night, Song Ya pulled her hair straight, why didn't he think of playing with emails, "It means that there is no good opportunity in this industry?"

"Uh, it should be, but it's not necessarily. Think about it, provide each user with 2M free space, according to the current storage and network hardware costs, the burning speed will be very amazing, the larger the number of users, the faster the burning. Maybe we can be patient and wait until they drain the blood..."

Dr. Chen said: "I don't know much about this e-mail address, but I heard that the technical threshold is actually not high. They want to burn money to eliminate competitors and then turn to charging for profit is not so easy. Of course, they can seize time to go public.

"Well, indeed, patience is important."

Song Ya comforted herself and put down the phone, and tried RocketMail's mail service again. The interface is not as familiar as Hotmail, but the functions are indeed similar.

Now he can only exercise patience. He opened the email sent to him by the trio and read it carefully. Apart from the ostentatious chip technical documents, there is basically one thing left: Don’t worry, boss, the money burns to ten. In January, when the new 2D compatible chip VoodooRush is launched, we will definitely kill everything. The future is absolutely bright.

"Year after year, five million and five million, is this the semiconductor industry? These three liars! No wonder they dare not meet!"

Song Ya made a mental calculation and almost smashed the computer, "No, no, no anger, no anger, calm and calm, patient and patient."

The left hand opens the male warrior's fist, and the right hand blocks the female warrior's whip.

"Drink! Ha!"

The young Chinese male martial artist cherishes this rare opportunity to play. He is very enthusiastic in front of the camera, shouting loudly, using his fists and feet together, unknowingly not paying attention to the strength of the good tricks, and really hitting the male lead.

"WTF!? Do you mine?"

Song Ya's arm hurts, and the scene is no longer filmed. He pushed the kid anxiously on the spot. He was not in a good mood since last night and said, "Action guide! Take care of your people."

Regardless of the facts of the crew, they played a big deal and went back to the dressing room.

"Then today..." Zach Schneider followed after a while, Song Ya raised up to him the ice bag that Old Mike had just tied up, "That's it for today, you can rest APLUS, I think of a way to film other people's scenes. ..."

"Really!"

Watching Zach Schneider disappear obediently, Mr. Song Ya sulked for a while, and then thought about finding something to do for himself, but he couldn't get the exam book, so he called Donovan and Hayden. How did I talk to the next player from A+ Records?"

"We William Morris have contacted almost all major record companies, and none of them don't like you."

Hayden smiled and said: "Even EMI and PolyGram. Really, don't look at the conflicts between you, but they still welcome..."

"I want to listen to a substantive offer, it's already July."

Song Ya interrupted him impatiently. The key is how much he is willing to pay for it.

"You know about EMI. There are two major record labels in Beimi, Viking Beimi and Capitol Records. The most interesting one is Capitol Records..." The two agents began to introduce them in detail.

Capitol Records is headquartered in Los Angeles. I have fancyed Fergie the "hometown" a long time ago. I also asked Pai Kingsley to dig for it, but it didn’t work. This time I was very interested in taking down the entire A+ record including myself and Fergie. , But in principle they will not allow a wholly-owned label, so they will use the industry practice of acquiring 50% of A+ Records to be included in the ranks of their own subsidiaries. The specific price has not yet been discussed.

Polygram’s situation is very interesting. Although the feud is strong, there is a room in his family in Los Angeles with Capitol Records. The powerful prince AandM Records at the Bird’s Headquarters, AM has a glorious time, has Carpenter, Sting and Super groups such as the police band, the **** pistol band, and another DIVA, MJ sister Janet Jackson, basically became famous all the way in his house.

But it doesn’t work anymore. After being acquired by PolyGram for $500 million in the late 1980s, the singer went so far. The founder also ran away in 1993. Now there is almost an empty shell left. It is estimated that they will not insist that A+ Records become a subsidiary." Donovan said.

"Forget Polygold, the management is a mess, all good cards are broken, and its Motown Records just ran away BoyzIIman."

Song Ya remembered a series of absurd operations by his family's executives on DefJam records. Although he and Daniel have made a lot of money, they still have to continue working together. "His family doesn't think about it."

"The chaos within the parent company may be better for you." Donovan smiled.

"Forget it, I don't want to have another similar battle with Sony Columbia Records. It's boring."

Song Ya waved his hand and said. In fact, Sony Columbia Records is really good, but it's a pity that the relationship has become like this in a few years...

Then there is BMG. The major prince of BMG in the United States is RCA (American Radio and Record Company), one of RCA’s major vassals is Alista Records in Atlanta, and BABYFACE’s LAFACE Records, bragging daddy’s bad boy records are all in Ali. Owned by Star Records.

Another vassal of RCA is JIVE Records. The popular R Kelly, Arya and other rhythm and blues singers are all signed in his Chicago branch. Quincy Jones, who is also in Chicago, has a great influence on this company.

"BMG has a very good momentum now, and more flowers. They are actually the least active. My negotiation with them is still in its infancy. It is in sharp contrast with their full support for LAFACE Records to pursue the BoyzIIman combination." Donovan said.

"Understandable, I don't want many people who have harmed the past."

Song Ya laughed at herself, and it might even include BABYFACE. Changing from a friend to a colleague is not necessarily a good thing for friendship. "By the way, how did BoyzIIman talk with the record companies?"

Hayden laughed, "The most popular one insists on learning from MCHammer and your own sole proprietorship record company, and only signs a record distribution contract with the distribution company. The least popular one opposes sole proprietorship and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a high sum The signing of the contract is safe. The homesick one has only one condition, the new company location must be in his hometown of Philadelphia. The hopeless one has already taken advantage of this space to return to Philadelphia to invest in the barber salon...Four people, one idea. "

All the **** talents, Song Ya rolled his eyes and continued to inquire.

Warner’s Atlantic Records has always had a good relationship with him. There is Steven, a black executive who he had contact with when he first arrived in New York. A+ Records has long rented his recording studio for its New York singers. His family traditionally treats black singers. The friendliest. Even Warner does not allow the trouble of having a wholly-owned label, but it seems that it can be discussed.

Not to mention Universal. Big boss Bronfman, David Geffen, who still retains some influence after Geffen Records was acquired by Universal’s MCA Records, Doug Morris, President of Universal Records, and Ron, President of Universal Pictures. Meyer has dealt with himself, and the relationship is different, but the overall situation is good, and he has never had any conflicts.

"Little Bronfman is also the most loose-handed and best-spoken entertainment tycoon. After shooting Blade, you can take the opportunity of this project to communicate with him. He likes talented people to flatter him." Hayden said.

"No problem, I'm good at this." Song Ya nodded.

Speaking of which, Sugnett’s death row records were also released through Universal, with only one record in between.

But it doesn't matter. No one likes the rebellious Sugonite. He is very marginal in the entire global system. That is to say, everyone can bear it because 2PAC and Snoop Dogg can make money.

"Actually, David Geffen hinted to me that you can merge A+ records with DreamWorks records, half and half." Donovan said.

"Then I'm a big loser? The Big Three's DreamWorks records can only be played by the outdated George Michael. In total, there are not even a few new albums released. The platinum record record is still zero."

David Geffen wanted to be beautiful ~www.ltnovel.com~ The last time Ovitz suggested that Disney integrated its record companies into the seventh largest distributor, and then signed it by itself.

"That’s more complicated. Disney Emperor Eisner now opposes as long as Ovitz supports it. They want to do this internally for a while. Mr. Roy Disney told me that it won’t be until the end of the year. There are eyebrows."

Donovan said: "And the new seventh-largest record distributor will inevitably be strangled by the big six. You will be affected, APLUS."

"Well, don't be in a hurry for the time being, just like Terry Beard, the chronic child of DTS, dragging it slowly until the end, others will be anxious first. I still have time and can continue to wait."

Song Ya probably figured out the situation, "Patience, patience is very important." He muttered to himself.
