Chapter 1012 I Really Cried

Most of the emotional messages were deliberately made, but Song Ya was really anxious when he posted the last post. Just when he was in need of deterrence, his largest single wealth shrank a lot as Netscape's stock price plummeted. This is really a leak in the house and it rains all night.

"Jim! I really can't figure it out! Why don't you guys just give in to AOL (Miguel Online)!? You have to charge such an important strategic partner browser licensing fee, and you have to pay a fraction of the money strictly according to the number of users, poll tax! "

In fact, after it was rumored that some PC manufacturers' new machines next year will be equipped with Microsoft's Windows 97 operating system bundled with free IE, Netscape's stock price was not immediately questioned, and it rose for two days afterwards, but AOL suddenly announced that it would withdraw from the Netscape camp. Defecting to Microsoft and replacing the user access page with IE browser became the key turning point that crushed the confidence of stockholders.

And AOL's explanation is very simple. It costs money to use your Netscape products, and Microsoft has ready-made free ones. Why don't I change them?

"It's not...you...you talk to people like this now?"

Jim Clark was very upset with his growling body.

"Uh, I'm sorry Jim, I've been...not in a good mood lately, you know."

Song Yamiao apologized habitually.

"I'm responsible for the company's profit and stock price. AOL provides more than 10 million dollars in revenue every year. If it's free, is it free?"

Jim Clark's tone was a little better, and he explained: "That's fine, we've already cornered Microsoft, and they don't have a chance to come back if they don't use monopoly means, as long as they reveal the flaws of unfair competition, they will definitely pay the price. "

"Then what do we do now? AOL's share of revenue is gone, and next month's market share data will not look good. Other Internet access providers will follow suit."

That's Microsoft. Not surprisingly, Microsoft will rank fifth in the S&P market capitalization list this year. It will almost pass the 100 billion mark, which is nearly double the market value of last year. The top four are General Electric. , Coca-Cola, Exxon and Intel.

Song Ya is not as confident as Jim Clark.

"Don't worry, our browser is easier to use and more stable. Users won't stay on the access page automatically popped up by AOL for a long time, and finally have to go back to Netscape."

Jim Clark comforted, "Microsoft is not only suspected of being a monopoly, but it is also very likely that it used illegal means in private to persuade AOL to buy. Just wait, I will find out the evidence and let them be completely finished!"

"Humph."

Anyway, this guy is afraid that the selling wave will hit the stock price, so he must appear confident to the outside world. Who knows the actual situation? Song Ya didn't dare to believe it all, "Then do we have any short-term means to restore the stock price recently?"

"There will be. By the way, your post seems to have a good spread effect. Go ahead, high-intensity attacks, adding some sarcastic jokes may be better. I made up one about Ballmer, the president of the company, and you can remember it." Jim Clark said.

"Is it okay to attack so personally?"

"You still dare not attack personally?"

"That's different...forget it, wait a minute, I'll take a pen and paper...you tell me."

Song Ya wrote down Jim Clark's original lame jokes.

In fact, he didn't want to post it very much, he was just a humble minority shareholder of Netscape, and he couldn't make it as if he had a life-and-death vengeance with Microsoft.

At this time, he jumped out and chased the most powerful software giant, what if he didn't have many enemies? I'm not that reckless, okay?

In any case, let's get Oprah in place first, and the second concert in Lisbon is tomorrow, and then I will leave for Mi, and the threat of assassination has not been lifted yet!

Motura...

That guy is really difficult to deal with, not difficult to deal with, but difficult to deal with.

Motura is not a public figure like Oprah, and he has not officially assumed the post of president of Sony Columbia Records. When he posted crazy posts attacking him, ordinary viewers responded, "Who is this?" ’ ‘Why do you always mention him and attack him? ’ ‘I know he’s racist, but haven’t you been in trouble many times? And Motura is no longer a character.

'

not effectively.

How can you ruin a mangy dog ​​who hides and pretends to be dead? Otherwise, you won't be able to get the so-called 'permission to kill'!

"Doug?"

During the last rehearsal, I received a call from Doug, the Chief of Staff of the Party Whip Office, "You don't want to intercede for Oprah, do you?" Song Ya half-jokingly tried.

Although the party whip Underwood is a Chicago politician, he made his fortune relatively late. Oprah had already left Chicago when he became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the two sides had little intersection.

He has no pressure to run for office this year, but he has a lot of responsibilities. He needs to help the Donkey Party faction to keep a close eye on the federal congressional elections everywhere. of.

"What if I say Yes?" Doug asked back.

"You...you hypocritical politicians! A bunch of trash! I was raped innocently, and you want me to swallow it!? My life is not guaranteed now, and I have to wear a bulletproof vest when I go out! Fxxk!"

Song Ya yelled, Underwood's failure to help was even more irritating than Gore's failure to help, "Don't even think about getting a penny from me in the future! You tell your master..."

"Hey! Take it easy, APLUS."

Doug hurriedly stopped him from continuing to scold, "Listen to me patiently, OK? Of course, I'm only responsible for spreading the word..."

The next day, Song Ya waved her hands with emotion, and sang AiSeEuTePego with the Lisbon fans. The last global tour in 1996 came to a successful and smooth end.

"Hey, thanks for your hard work."

"Are you leaving? Oh yes, you're a native of Europe, but you're coming to the party tonight?"

"Don't run too far, there is a party tonight, come."

"Thank you, thank you, hard work..."

Walking off the stage, he warmly hugged everyone in the tour team, thanked them, and invited them to the party. There were no major accidents in the thirteen large-scale concerts, and no internal gossip or leaks happened, which is very satisfying .

Surrounded by the tour team, holding hands stretched out from all directions, the main creators, staff, dancers, musicians, supporting singers, and bodyguards came to socialize one after another. He was also in a good mood. Refused, all satisfied.

"APLUS, I got the video, let's watch it together!"

Anschutz executives shouted from the perimeter.

"immediately!"

He loudly agreed to come down, and the people around consciously made a path and let him go back to the lounge.

There are quite a few people inside, except for Fu Huadao who needs to do the finishing work, Fergie, Halle, Ms. Sloan, Jimmy and the others, and people from Anschutz and Sony Columbia Records.

After fighting for a while, Motula basically didn't play his old tricks on A+ records, such as his set of removed records, deliberately not hitting the charts, suppressing announcements, and delaying settlement. At the same time don't create too much trouble for Sony.

This has made the singers of A+ Records stable at present, and they are waiting to switch to a new company together when their contract expires early next year.

But this also shows that Ms. Sloan's worries are likely to be close to the truth. Motura really wants to kill herself and help Sony Columbia Records release her own commemorative album, otherwise there is no need to be so patient.

Newman, who is still his own manager for the time being, also came. He stood on the "last shift" and brought a video tape.

"after……"

Song Ya hugged him warmly, "Take care of Mimi for me..."

Daniel is gone, and he will leave soon. Newman's life in the company will not be easy in the future. Fortunately, in addition to the executive salary, he also has half of Mariah Carey's manager's income. He relies on DIVA to protect himself. He is also the administrator of the NAS.

"rest assured."

Newman said with a smile: "Have you watched her interview with the Chinese media?"

"certainly."

The ex-wife is still very kind. She publicly claimed twice that she is not someone who would abuse women that much, once in the book, and once yesterday, when she was interviewed by Wanwan Media, she expressed her support again.

In fact, her current situation is not very good. The hidden danger of Motura's return has always been there. During her pregnancy in October, her media exposure was not good, and she left the United States afterward. Recently, Donnie Braston and her lyrical pop R&B single Un-BreakMyHeart, which is similar to her route, became very popular once it hit the charts. The music media and music critics have given praise, thinking that Donnie has grown into a strong candidate for DIVA people.

The title of DIVA is not a Chinese cabbage. Some people may come up and others may go down. She is also under a lot of pressure.

Song Ya recently read an autobiography of a rock singer who was short-lived in the 1970s. It mentioned an experience from the singer's own perspective, and he felt very much the same.

It is that the singer himself often does not know whether he is actually popular or not, and how popular he is.

The band that the author of the autobiography belongs to became famous very quickly. In the 1970s, the promotion of the charts mainly relied on performing in different places and running promotion tours. When they released their first album, they started from a small place and walked all the way through cities of all sizes. In a year, it was obvious that there were more audiences coming to the concert, and the fans became more and more crazy. , the income naturally also skyrocketed.

So the five band members became more and more proud, indulgent, spent money like water, and signed a contract for a full-meter tour while the iron was hot.

After another year of running around, when the tour ended, they felt that the audience was still there, the fans were still enthusiastic, and the girls were still posting like crazy, but they just didn't become popular, and suddenly they stopped being popular. The announcements from TV and radio stations are gone, even if there are, they are invitations from small radio stations, newspapers and magazines have not talked about them for a long time, advertisers have disappeared, so have the paparazzi, commercial performances have discounts and discounts...

Only from the perspective of God can you clearly see their curve from being popular to gradually becoming obsolete. From the time when the media discovered the new rock star, to the tabloids publishing their out-of-order behavior during the tour. In fact, it didn’t take long for them. Their songs gradually disappeared from the public eye, and new similar bands emerged. Slowly, although their tour box office was not bad, their songs were no longer played in shopping mall bars, and their faces were no longer seen in the media. .

And these, for them themselves, seemed to be just a moment after the end of the tour, and then the second special failed, the team disbanded due to infighting, and disappeared completely from then on.

After a few years, no one can recognize them on the road, and everything before is like an unreal dream.

They have struggled and tried their best to create popularity, but what they got in return was the tabloids' cynicism of the outdated stars who were unwilling to be lonely, and then continued to be forgotten.

Although the later five band members could still get some royalties, the scenery in those two years was like a dark cloud in life. The author, others have not even been able to maintain a stable life.

And what about myself? Black singers in Chicago, 2PAC murder suspects, rape, violent men, cheating scumbags, abusing women, treason, gay rumors, etc., all broke out this year.

In fact, Song Ya doesn't know the whole picture of her perception among the public. Maybe after returning from the tour, she is no longer popular?

'Boom! '

The sound of opening champagne interrupted his thoughts, "Go home! Go home!" Fergie yelled happily, holding a big champagne bottle.

"cheers!"

Everyone toasted to celebrate, Song Ya took a sip of wine, sat in front of the dressing table, and Harley leaned over, "Will we be popular?" asked as if guessing her own mind.

"Don't scare yourself."

Song Ya knew that she was in a low mood recently, and Beloved must have lost her share, and she offended Oprah again. If Blade Warrior fails at the box office next year because of her decline in popularity, she... will not be too young.

Black Pearl, who usually bluffs, now looks like a sick beauty who complains all day long.

He hugged her shoulders and encouraged her, but with little effect, "Let's watch TV."

Anschutz's men stuffed the tape Newman had brought into the machine, and it was WGN in Chicago.

"Oprah! We love you!"

Aunt Susie and Connie appeared in the picture. They surrounded Oprah with a bright smile on the left and right and shouted happily. Connie even held Oprah's arm as if she saw an idol, jumping happily .

"Connie, you... aren't you?" Fergie said in surprise, no one here didn't know about the conflict between herself and Oprah.

‘Oprah Winfrey was back in Chicago today for a charity event hosted by the Suzy Foundation, which is dedicated to helping the black poor on the South Side…’

The reporter's voice-over said.

Only then did everyone notice the check held in the hands of the three black women with buckets.

‘She announced that she will donate 10 million to the Susie Foundation, and Susie happens to be APLUS’ relative, aunt. '

"In Chicago, the life of the Negro community..."

Oprah stood on the podium, behind Susie and Connie, Gordon, Pastor William, and some black elites in Chicago's South Side.

"I greatly appreciate Suzy's charitable actions in support of the poor and the church over the years..."

Her speech level is top-notch, her voice is full of emotion, and the typhoon is very stable.

"Also, I would like to apologize to Suzy, the African-American community in South City, and APLUS for my gaffes on the show. Because of my misbelief, I accidentally used a friend's comment on APLUS on the show. Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry."

Oprah's words were mixed in a long speech on donations, and soon the topic changed and they talked about grand issues, but enough.

The lounge was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"Shxt!"

Harley broke the silence, and she suddenly seemed to come alive, "APLUS! How did you M-Fxxk do it!?" He patted Song Ya's arm vigorously, and his voice changed back to before.

"I said I never said that." Song Ya shrugged pretentiously under the gaze of everyone in the room.

WGN is a local station in Chicago, and Portugal couldn't receive it, so Newman was asked to send a video tape by the way, but the places that were not recorded...

"thanks, thanks……"

Oprah walked off the podium amid applause, looked back at the 10 million check that had been handed over to Susie, her nose was sore, her heart ached, and she quickly avoided others and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

This time she really cried.
