Chapter 1493 Standing at 30

Awards and honors, top endorsements, and celebrity salary, Harley took everything she should have. After being beaten by Catwoman and losing her heart, she began to think about the rest of her life.

But after all, she is in her thirties and has type 1 diabetes. If she wants to create a human, she must follow scientific guidance.

However, Song Ya still got it done at the speed of light before her thirtieth birthday, and assumed the duty of loyalty that should be borne.

'Find love and save us, past, future, we shall know, in all glory and fame...'

In the deep-sea recording studio, the majestic female voice chants resounded throughout, 'The march into Rome and the fall of Byzantium, the Blitzkrieg, the night of Dresden, drop the nuclear bomb, end the war, and never repeat it! ’ Finally, it ended with the phrase ‘Neveragain’ sung by Song Ya himself.

Although the Elephant Party won the general election this time, with the fierce election campaign exposing all kinds of tragic casualties and anti-human crimes of the Mi Army, especially conspiracy theories represented by Fahrenheit 9/11 began to become popular, causing the public opinion in Mi Mi to gradually turn against the war. The apocalypse song was finally sent to the recording studio by him.

The Elephant party has had a much harder time winning than expected, and the time has come.

"Bravo!"

The great director Oliver Stone pressed the intercom in the control room and praised loudly.

"Haha, welcome, thank you for coming, Director Stone, Director Scott. Hi, Charis..."

Also present was another great director, Ridley Scott, and Charis, the big white girl, was also holding Oliver Stone's arm. She had just starred in Oliver Stone's epic blockbuster Alexander the Great.

Song Ya came out of the recording studio and greeted the three of them, "Sorry, I'm going to change clothes first." But instead of shaking hands or hugging, she pointed to the sweat-stained T-shirt on the chest and back.

The recording time was long and he was sweating profusely.

"Please go ahead." Charis, who pretended to be an ordinary friend in front of the two directors, took a deep breath of Papa Little Jon's sweat, and watched him go into the dressing room.

"Our tenth richest man in Mimi still worked so hard on his birthday." Oliver Stone joked after the door of the dressing room closed.

Charis knows that in the 2004 Fujiby Global Rich List, Little Jon's papa surpassed Dell Computer founder Mike Dell and Microsoft CEO Ballmer with a net worth of 13.5 billion, and a net worth of 30 billion. At the age of 10, he was ranked the 10th richest person in the whole world, and the 18th richest person in the world. His wealth growth mainly came from physical and online record sales, cash from selling the Goto website, and shares in YAHOO and Gugou. Excellent results in the real estate submarket.

"As the financial magazines say, he's an investment genius with beastly instincts."

But Ridley Scott had something in his words. He didn't expect that Song Ya would invite himself and Oliver Stone to appear here at the same time. The intention was naturally for commercial purposes, and his actions were always very aggressive.

"How is it? Two directors, are you satisfied with my song 'Europa'? The lyrics can be discussed, such as changing Dresden to Gaugamela (a key battle for Macedonia to defeat the Persian Empire), or Jerusalem."

Song Ya put on a clean T-shirt and some perfume, then hurried back to the control room, enthusiastically selling the song to the two directors.

Charis also took the opportunity of the hug to "betray" and stay by his side.

Oliver Stone has completed the epic blockbuster about Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Empire, and Ridley Scott is shooting another epic blockbuster about the Crusaders Kingdom of Heaven. Both need top-notch and appropriate ending songs. Song Ya hopes that both sides To be able to compete for this song of my own is to maximize my benefits.

"Will it be in your new monograph?"

Oliver Stone and Ridley Scott looked like a mirror in their hearts. After looking at each other, Oliver Stone changed the topic: "I guess... 29?"

"Yes, but it's hard to say whether it's 29 or 30 or 31."

Song Ya replied cheerfully.

I used 21 and 26 as the title of my album, so Oliver Stone asked this question.

But only this song is left in the Apocalypse inventory that suits me,

Although I don't have to worry about not being able to invite top creators to tailor songs for myself, but I will also face the difficult choice of MJ, so the time will be very long, and it is impossible to complete it within the age of thirty.

It's not in a hurry, Song Ya has long since stopped counting on her income from selling records.

"That will definitely be another classic album that leads the times." Oliver Stone complimented.

"I hope so, thank you." The family knows their own affairs, and without the apocalypse, Song Ya is far less confident than he appears to the outside world.

"By the way, APLUS..."

Ridley Scott didn't have much interest in this song. In his plan, the soundtrack of Kingdom of Heaven must have a classical taste and a bit of Middle Eastern style. The rock song "Europa" does not match the overall tone. "You wrote a SaaMagni early on? I want to put it on the Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack, can I?"

"Saa Magni?"

Song Ya looked up at the sky and recalled it carefully, and then remembered that she had indeed revealed a piece of an ancient costume movie before. SaaMagni came from the soundtrack of that song, and it was given to the group of four buckets of aunts under Lao Qiao...

He suddenly realized something, "The heroes and heroines of Kingdom of Heaven are Legolas and French actress Eva Green, right?"

"Yes." Ridley Scott nodded, amused at the same time.

"It's Orlando Bloom and Eva Green. Legolas is just the name of Orlando Bloom's character in The Lord of the Rings." Charis smiled coquettishly and patted the man's thick chest.

"Haha! Yes, it's Orlando Bloom, the role of Legolas is too popular."

That's right, the man and woman in SaaMagni's apocalypse segment at the time were Orlando Bloom and Eva Green. I didn't expect it to come from Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, "No problem, that song belongs to you Scott special director." Just return it to the original owner.

"Orlando Bloom is hot right now."

"Yeah, he has an invincible eye for film selection, and he picked two blockbuster series, The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, consecutively."

"The only regret is that none of them are male protagonists."

"When he plays Ridley's Kingdom of Heaven as the number one actor and becomes a big hit, he will be able to completely establish his status as a top Hollywood actor."

"I have no doubt..."

The four of them went downstairs while chatting. Today there is a grand birthday party in Highland Park. The distinguished guests have arrived one after another. Song Ya is going back after work.

After the launch of Disney's live-action fairy tale film strategy, the first original large-scale production of Magic Love has finally started shooting. The male and female protagonists are Li Pace and Amy Adams...Li Pace is of course no problem, he will be a handsome prince, but Amy Adams? ! Amy Adams! ? '

On the radio station of the extended luxury car, a guest on a gossip show is crazily questioning the hostess of Magic Love, "Nearly ten years ago, Amy Adams acted with Xiao Li in the modern chapter of Romeo and Juliet, playing the role of the princess and the prince." , Ten years later, she will be 30 years old, Xiao Lizi... Xiao Lizi's appearance has collapsed now! Has Disney lost his head!? How can there be a 30-year-old Disney princess in the world!? Find a princess like this! Is it because she is the girlfriend of APLUS that an older actress plays the main role in such an important blockbuster!?"

"Who is this?" Song Ya immediately asked the guest's name angrily.

The two leading directors, Oliver Stone and Ridley, pouted, and moved their eyes out of the car window at the same time.

"It's just a nameless clown." Charis replied flatteringly.

‘According to the information revealed so far, Magical Love will be a live-action fairy tale movie with singing and dancing elements, so choosing Amy Adams is even more nonsensical. Disney obviously has countless younger and more beautiful choices! Anne Hathaway, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff and even Britney Spears...all were born there! '

The guest couldn't stop spouting: 'As for Amy Adams' album, even if a single song has never been released, and there is no audio or video of her singing performance circulated, I doubt whether she can sing! '

The names listed by the guests are indeed from Disney, and all of them have released records. Needless to say, Britney Spears, who went to BMG to become a DIVA, the singers of the other three actresses are still in Disney Records.

Anne Hathaway has been focusing on movies since The Princess Diaries became popular. The singer signed a contract with Disney Records, but the release of the album is of a fun nature.

Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Hilary Duff are all Disney child stars with roots. Lindsay Lohan will release an album while it's hot after she became popular with the youth school movie "Mean Girls" this year, and Hilary Duff She is currently the most beloved true Disney princess, and the next-generation amphibious youth idol of music and film.

In the entertainment circle, the wave of the past pushes the wave of the past, and any one of these four is indeed more popular than Amy, who has been hiding and giving birth to children for nearly a year.

However, it is useless to shout out doubts from the outside world. Since Disney's live-action fairy tale movie strategy is dominated by the Linton camp, Song Ya naturally has great influence.

"Never mind the gossip, Amy, I've already prepared a song for you."

Amy, who was well protected by herself, has always been less resistant to stress. When she returned to Highland Park, Song Ya observed that her mentality had collapsed a little, so she hugged her gently and coaxed her.

Considering the audience and the degree of singing, the selection of songs for Disney fairy tale movies has always been based on healthy lyrics and catchy lyrics. Amy can actually sing, at least above the level of ordinary people. There is no need to sing simple saliva love songs called "nursery songs". Question, there is a song 'Call Me Maybe' in Song Ya's apocalyptic song library, which is very suitable. That song was originally inspired from her day, and it just fits well.

"Hmph!" Amy pouted and lost her temper when she saw Charis who came back together.

"Birthday..."

Song Ya smiled and took the newborn baby Garland from her hand... Uh, I can't say it's small, Garland is a 'giant baby', and his weight was greatly overweight when he was born, his arms and legs were chubby, and his skin color And Amy's older son Vilas is a lot deeper.

"Oh, my Garland, you can play in the NBA in the future."

Song Ya felt that this kid might be physically stronger than himself when he grew up.

"Hi, Charis." Harley also came over at this time, and Charis observed that she was not as bitty as usual, and her face had a more maternal radiance.

"Harry." Song Ya gently stroked her stomach.

"It's still early." Harley was actually shy, gently opening the man's hand like a little woman.

"This is my best birthday present." Song Ya looked at Amy and Charis, and said to Halle with an expression, "Have you decided on a name?"

"Hmm..." Harry thought for a while, "If the boy is called Theon and the girl is Asha, how about it?"

"sounds so good."

Charis looked at this scene with some jealousy. Harley took the actress, entered the 20 million club, and soon there will be heirs of the top ten richest people in the entire meter. Amy is spoiled and wants everything. At the age of 18, I can still play Disney's fairy tale princess, and I will release my first album by the way...

"It's okay, I'm younger, and when Alexander the Great is released at Christmas, everything will be fine."

She comforted herself silently.

"Boss, they are waiting for you." The man's personal lawyer came in and reported.

"OK."

Song Ya teased Garland leisurely for a while before going out to socialize for business.

"Mr. Geffen."

Stars gathered at the party, because they played the heroine of Alexander the Great, looking forward to next year's awards season, Charis will immediately enter a high-spirited state, and meet all kinds of people everywhere like a courtesan to solicit votes.

In the end, she returned to Oliver Stone.

Because of the tradition of same-sex legions in the history of Greek civilization, the movie Alexander the Great also received full support from the Hollywood same-sex fraternity. In terms of the plot, he and David Geffen naturally had a hot fight.

"Those Asians are..."

But David Geffen's attention is not on the awards season for the time being. He is always staring at a huge black-haired and yellow-skinned delegation who is strolling and chatting with the black pharaoh on the lawn. So Oliver Stone asked curiously.

"People from Ranoff, they are competing with Palm, a company owned by APLUS, for IBM..."

David Geffen replied.

"IBM!"

Big blue? Charis couldn't help but exclaimed.

"IBM's PC division," David Geffen added, "has been losing money for a long time."

I see! But even IBM's PC division is shocking, Papa Jon's business empire is still gaining ground at a rapid pace...

Charis was dazzled again.

"Yuanqing..."

In fact, David Geffen's intelligence was behind. Song Ya did instigate Palm to join the competition for the IBM PC department, but at this time he was close to achieving his goal of dissuading his competitor Rannov. He spoke sincerely to Rannov's senior management They brainwashed: "Believe me, you can't play IBM and those senior managers in the United States for the time being, and you will get lost in it like Sony, and considering the relationship between the two countries, once you take down IBM's PC department, the big US government procurement The business is likely to be lost, and the gain outweighs the loss. As for layoffs, what I can do, you may not be able to do... So, for the time being, let's dive into the OEM business and make the OEM business bigger and stronger first! Accumulate strength for a few years, I promise, as long as you quit, all the foundry business of personal computers, laptops and so on under my banner will be yours, which is actually better for you..."

As for why he decided to sell IBM's long-term loss-making PC business midway, there are many reasons.

First of all, according to market research, Palm's PDA, smart phone customer groups and IBM personal computers, ThinkPad notebook computers are highly overlapped, and the black tone of IBM PC also fits the consistent style and taste of Palm founder Jeffrey Hawkins. However, the number of products sold in PalmBeats stores is too small compared to Apple stores, that is, PDAs, mobile phones, Walkmans, and some accessories. They are gone. Specialty stores, especially some franchise stores with poor performance, have long been criticized and even franchisees have started. Exit, the shelves are in urgent need of expansion.

Secondly, some Palm shareholders have been making trouble after their investment bank raised their cards for Apple. The supporters behind them also copied Roy Disney's "successful experience" at the beginning of the year, and specially set up a website to save Palm to build public opinion. The legal battle over Dong Jiangao's loyalty obligations has also begun, and Song Ya must create major benefits before next year's shareholders' meeting to deal with the crisis.

Third, alm has been unable to get rid of the disease of niche companies that advocate technology first but cannot do well in the market from the beginning to the end. The right to speak in the supply chain and channels has not been raised. Na's decisive battle is imminent, and Song Ya can't wait. Palm must be quickly improved before then, at least on the surface.

Fourth, Microsoft is playing balance again. They deliberately introduced 3DFX competitors NV and ATI to lower prices for the purchase of 3D chips for the new game console XBOX360 project. Song Ya must resolutely fight back. IBM and Sony are jointly developing the PS3 game console CellCPU chip, I am making friends with IBM to tell Microsoft that my big deal is to vote for IBM and Sony! If you force me again, I will simply license 3DFX's 3D display chip patent to Sony's own chip and use it on PS3!

At that time, not only will Microsoft's XBOX360 project be worse, but also their Blu-ray war with Toshiba and Sony will also have unpredictable variables.

Voting for Sony also has the advantage of killing two birds with one stone. It further compresses the internal power of Howard Stringer, who is suspected of shooting himself, in Sony. Howard Stringer has just successfully led the merger of Sony Columbia Records and BMG Records (no copyright library involved), He also joined forces with Comcast and other consortiums to buy MGM, but even so, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Sony to choose between him and Black Pharaoh.

Finally, and most importantly, Palm has a major internal problem. After learning that the progress of the operating system of the Treo 650 smartphone was delayed, Song Ya quickly asked Mark Anderson and other knowledgeable shareholders. I felt a deep sense of imminent crisis.

Time can change everything. Among Palm’s tech giants, founder and CEO Jeffrey Hawkins has always been obsessed with the field of brain-computer interaction in addition to his main business. He has quietly allocated a lot of energy to invest in new brain-computer technology. company.

The so-called operating system guru of the former Apple and Palm executives made Louis Gasser cooperate for a period of time. Everyone found that this Frenchman is a master of internal strife who loves office politics and creates high-level conflicts. His own expertise lies in PC operating systems, and he has no technical reserves for mobile operating systems. Even for PC operating systems, it has been nearly ten years since the BeOS he created was favored by Apple. In the rapidly developing IT industry, technology has not improved. It is a big step backward, and he and the operating system department he is in charge of are the culprits for PalmOS6 not being launched as scheduled.

Sean Fanning, who is in charge of the Beats music store and website, is even more outrageous. The young talented programmer has recently been extremely addicted to the World of Warcraft online game that Blizzard, a game developer owned by Vivendi, has just released.

But it's not good for Song Ya to create more chaos for these well-known pig teammates at this moment, so he can only inject new blood through acquisitions.

Of course, the negative impact is also great. IBM’s PC division is not cheap, and mergers and acquisitions can only be carried out through stock swaps, at least partially, which means that their control over the company will be weakened a lot in the future, and IBM’s PC division will lose money Seriously, it is hard to say whether the merger can be reversed.

But even if you drink poison to quench your thirst, it is a big victory if you can help yourself to win the Disney battle.

There are not many acquisition projects that can be concluded in time, and IBM's PC department is just right, and their R&D capabilities are strong, such as Yamato Laboratories with a good reputation in the industry.

"How?" David Geffen asked when Song Ya came back from the chat.

It's hard to tell others, Song Ya just blinked at him and gave him a thumbs up.

'Dang bang bang! '

Other people in the party were also paying attention to him. After seeing him return to the hall, Underwood immediately rang the champagne glass with a fork, and waited until the audience fell silent, "Let APLUS come and say something to us!?" He He asked loudly in a questioning tone.

In this general election year, the Donkey Party has yet to take back the House of Representatives as he said, so he is still the party whip. After ten years of tossing, his power has grown a lot, but his political position has remained stagnant.

But it is really difficult to go further at his level.

All the stars, political and business celebrities tacitly moved away from a semi-circular circle, and cast their attention on him.

Song Ya has long been used to this kind of gaze, and she is no longer obsessed with it, "Thank you, thank you for coming, I have nothing to say, when I was fifteen..."

He just went up and said a few words, and he stopped bragging. His birthday this year happened to be at the time when the dust of the general election was settled. out 'spotlight'.

"I think it's better to invite my university advisor, our newly elected U.S. Senator from Illinois, to speak for us!"

Song Ya introduced Michelle's husband, who had just won the election, and stepped into the Senate of the Hundred People. He has become the most popular politician in Chicago, even this state, and the entire United States this year.

The personable Michelle's husband showed his signature hearty smile, and waved his hands to enter the polite evasion procedure.

"Come on, come on!"

Song Ya warmly invited, Jesse Jackson, Quincy Jones, Linda, Rashida, Alicia Keys and other blacks also cheered for this ethnic light.

"Thank you, thank you. Today I want to say only one sentence: Yes! WeCan!"

Michelle’s husband’s speech ability is at the full level and his appeal is invincible, “We can do it! We must! APLUS and I, African Americans, ethnic minorities, women, sexual minorities…”

"Standing here tonight at this time, we know that there are many brave Americans risking their lives for us. We have just woken up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan. Countless American parents put their children to sleep. They still can't sleep over how to pay their mortgages, pay their medical bills, or save their kids for college. We have to have new sources of energy to tap into, and we have to create new jobs; we New schools must be built, new threats must be faced, new alliances must be forged..."

His political stance is also invincible and correct. Whether David Geffen, Tom Ford, Oliver Stone, or Ridley Scott nodded frequently, David Geffen had already caught up with him through his Jewish campaign team. Line, together with Song Ya, generously funded his campaign this year.

"One of APLUS's closest political allies will be a federal senator next year."

Song Ya's enemies have never been idle. In December 2004, in the Disney Emperor's office, Eisner was listening to his subordinates' summary report. Seeing that the next shareholder meeting was getting closer, he was still doing his best. All efforts are supported and struggled in the powerful multi-party game.

"He, Warner Music, and IBM are all in acquisition talks, and they're going all over the place."

"Judging from the feedback from the studio of Magic Love, Amy Adams seems to be quite competent. Although she is a little older, the youthful feeling on her cute face is still there..."

"Forget about that!"

Eisner waved his hand impatiently. Magic Love will start filming in the summer of next year at the earliest. Even if the failure of the live-action fairy tale movie strategy will deal a major blow to the alliance between Linton and APLUS, it will not be able to catch up with the shareholder meeting. As for APLUS’s political circle Influence is more or less, and he has no intention of overstepping the struggle to that level.

In any case, even though he had a falling out with APLUS, he did not embarrass the careers and businesses of his three sons in the past six months. The two sides at least have a tacit understanding on the bottom line.

"What about Robert Iger and Jobs?" he asked.

"Robert Iger said he persuaded Jobs to stay on the Cars project, and the rest, there was no progress." The man replied.

It was a rare piece of good news recently, and Eisner suppressed his ecstasy and didn't want to show it in front of his subordinates, "Hmm." He asked calmly, "Steve Jobs is willing to re-sign the release contract of Cars before the shareholders' meeting?"

"Should be willing."

"Okay...Okay, ask Robert Iger, find some time to play golf with me."

Because of Linton's resolute attitude, Robert Iger, who is more concerned about the "company", is more and more recognized by Eisner, and it is only superficial. But he doesn't intend to abdicate.

George Mitchell was out of energy. With the cooperation of himself, Linton and Robert Iger, he couldn't control the board of directors. , the market will think it is a big bearish.

But APLUS ran to buy IBM's PC department in the middle? Even if there are many consortiums willing to cooperate, will he have the money to buy Warner Records by then, or will buying Warner Records be enough to control the shares there?

"The threat of APLUS' departure is a major loss to the company, but it's actually not that important to me. Now that Disney's stock price has risen back to the 23-28 range, I'm much more prepared. Regardless of the general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors, as long as we find a way to keep the Jobs camp from aligning with the APLUS camp, we will be able to pass the test and continue for another year..."

Eisner thought to himself, he still has another trick, which is to use it before the shareholder meeting to achieve miraculous results.

"Our fourth-generation iPod is still popular in the market, and even though the third-generation Walkman just released by Beats still has its own advantages and disadvantages, they still haven't taken away too much of our market. Both products have been sold. The rate of increase in media criticism is disappointing..."

Apple, Jobs was also listening to the report, and his subordinates said: "When our flagship store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan opens next year, our leading edge will still be further increased. Palm, the parent company of Beats, will also carry the burden of IBM. We're close to reaching a deal."

"Will the flagship store on Fifth Avenue be available next year?"

The flagship store plan that cost a lot of money is not a big gamble for Apple. Jobs insisted on waiting for the glass that suits him, which wasted too much time and money. The store plan, the decoration of the Fifth Avenue store has not yet opened, and it may not be successful next year. His paranoia, arbitrariness and perfectionist stubbornness are fully displayed in this matter. Another subordinate reminded: "Be careful that APLUS uses this excuse to challenge us at the general meeting of shareholders next year. He can affect too many shares now..."

"Amelio should replace APLUS."

"Our former Mr. CEO is simply a tumor of the apple..."

In New York, the office of the chairman of Goldman Sachs was also brightly lit, and Paulson was also thinking about Disney's problems, "We have helped Katzenberg reach a compromise with David Geffen and Spielberg, and the DreamWorks animation department has succeeded. Being spun off, DreamWorks Animation became independent, cleared the final hurdle for being acquired by Disney, and our job next year is to continue to help our customers: DreamWorks Animation and Disney merged, preferably merged, and let Katzenberg Get a certain amount of Disney stock, which will help us expand our influence in Disney."

The subordinates first talked about the good news, and then changed the topic: "It's a pity that George Mitchell is too incompetent. He has not won enough senior management and departments within Disney for more than half a year, and his control over the Disney board of directors has also made little progress..."

"George Mitchell enjoys the status and exposure of Disney's chairman more. He may even use it as a basis for dealing with the donkey party in four years' time. figure it out."

"That damned old man, he thought he could use us and play us."

"What else? Don't forget he's the former Senate Majority Leader..."

Paulson frowned and listened to the arguments of his subordinates without saying a word.

All the events at Disney are proceeding as he wished. The only unplanned thing is George Mitchell's own attitude. After becoming the chairman of Disney, the old man's cooperation, fighting spirit, and enthusiasm have dropped sharply.

But Paulson himself is no better than George Mitchell.

After the success of the re-election of the Georgian Dynasty, it has been confirmed that the Attorney General Ashcroft, the Secretary of State Colin and other senior officials will leave, and the position of the Treasury Secretary John Snow is also in jeopardy. Now, whether in the Georgian Dynasty or on Wall Street, there are There was a very strong call for himself to succeed John Snow as Treasury Secretary.

Economics is the weak point of the Georgian dynasty. If it were him, Paulson was confident that he could reverse the situation caused by John Snow's laissez-faire within a short period of time. The current US economy is not out of control...

He has been in charge of Goldman Sachs for so many years, and he feels that there is no challenge. Although the salary of the finance minister is much lower than here, he is willing to go.

Since it is possible to leave Goldman Sachs to go to the Ministry of Finance, he does not intend to make too much trouble with Disney, which owns ABC Television Network, and APLUS, which owns Littman Media...

"APLUS..."

He was distracted at the meeting, and he muttered to himself when he thought of APLUS.

"It is generally believed that the acquisition of IBM's PC division by APLUS's Palm is harmful to his plan to acquire Warner, and the threat of him leaving Disney will be weakened, so it is good for Disney." The subordinates thought the boss was asking this.

"How's the negotiation between Palm and IBM going?" So Paulson asked casually. Goldman Sachs was strictly guarded by APLUS in the merger and acquisition case, and they couldn't get involved at all.

"They've reached a deal!" someone rushed into the office to report.

‘Palm Corporation and IBM have reached a merger agreement. Palm Corporation will acquire IBM’s personal computer business unit and related brands with 600 million cash, Palm stock worth 600 million dollars, and IBM’s 600 million dollars in debt...’

'IBM said the completion of this deal will enable them to focus more on their core businesses with higher technology content and higher profitability, such as computer services, software, servers and storage, and computer chips...'

'Palm said that this acquisition will enrich their product line and form a perfect complement to Palm's original business. At the same time, Palm announced that the new company subsequently successfully acquired a small notebook computer company jointly established by Deep Sea Ventures and Motorola. '

‘The tenth richest man in Shinco, the chairman of Palm, APLUS, praised these two transactions. He told reporters: IBM’s PC division is the best 30th birthday gift he gave himself...’
