Chapter 641? Bad News Brought About by Technological Progress

Novel Network

After the exhausting exam week, Song Ya stayed for a whole day before going to New York to deal with the affairs of A+ records.

Rose’s speeches on the technology media basically didn’t go out of the circle, but this kind of thing didn’t need to go out of the circle at all. The story of APLUS, the tuyere Fliggy, was fooled by 3DFX’s “little trick” and rushed to invest five million. In IT And the investment circle has fermented, and everyone has confirmed that this is a lucky real pig, and it is only lucky. Now it seems that the good luck is about to run out.

A large number of start-up projects in the Internet industry have begun to seek investment on their own initiative. It feels like this pig is not cheating for nothing, and it makes him more angry than Daniel being caught in an anti-monopoly lawsuit.

"Jim..."

While signing the documents, he talked to Jim Clark on the phone, "I'm fine, 3DFX can still make products. Next year, I will force them to make a complete chip design in the first half of next year... Yes, I can I understand you. After all, no one dared to guarantee that they were cheating at the time. You have no obligation to explain your inner guess to me... No, I'm not angry, and I won't be angry if all this little money is thrown into the water...Okay , I’ll be there when Netscape goes public, no problem.”

Putting down the microphone, he yelled at the landline, "Fxxk! Old fox! Why didn't you say beforehand that you were also suspicious of them!? When I asked you why you didn't vote for 3DFX, you still shirked that you had no money? Hmm? Would the founder of SGI money!?"

Angry!

At this time, he saw an A+ record depreciation report for fixed assets last year in his hand, which recorded the CD recording equipment that had been bought for a few years as the obsolete office supplies, so he became even more angry, "Linda! Come in!"

"What's the matter with this AMAHA recording device? I bought it for more than 30,000 dollars, and now it's going to be thrown into the warehouse for ashes!?" He shook the file and questioned.

"Uh, yes, we have other options now."

Linda called in Deon Wilson, the production director of A+ Records, to help her explain, "We bought a Philips CD-R recorder this year. It's smaller, faster, better, and it only costs a little over a thousand dollars." Dion Wilson called in technicians to answer the questions.

"Can more than 1,000 dollars of equipment replace more than 30,000 dollars?"

Song Ya didn't believe it, "Take me to see."

A group of people entered the warehouse, and the technician said to a cabinet the size of a washing machine: "This is AMAHA's product from the early 1990s."

"This is a new recorder that Philips just launched this year." The technician pointed to a black box that was only half the size of a VCD player.

Song Ya had to watch the demonstration comparison quietly. Sure enough, AMAHA's "washing machine" was still working creakingly when the Philips machine finished recording, and there was no obvious difference in the sound quality of the CD discs burned by the two. The chances of engraving waste discs are even lower.

"Advancement in technology? APLUS."

Dion Wilson sighed: "The speed of the replacement of electronic products always amazes us musicians. I also heard that even a complete set of the highest level of industrial CD recording assembly line can now be done for only a few million dollars."

"Wouldn't that mean that pirated CDs will also have a big development?"

Song Ya thought of something worse,

"That's not good news for the recording industry."

"That's right, I heard that many lawbreakers in Asia bought complete sets of equipment and hid them in small mountain villages. As long as there is no problem with the power supply, a steady stream of pirated CDs and VCDs will flow into the market. The cost of each disc is extremely low. The price must not be much higher.”

Linda replied: "The film industry can't run away either."

"Oh! Forget it, that's all."

Song Ya knew that he couldn't influence this. Electronic giants like Sony, Philips, and Panasonic are not idiots. If they lose money in the record industry, they must have the means to make money back in other electronic equipment. He signed the letter and agreed to release AMAHA' The washing machine' was thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes.

"The good news is that SD or DVD with larger capacity can be used as a carrier in the future. Piracy of new technologies will inevitably be very difficult. At least in developed countries with good copyright protection, our records can still be sold."

Seeing that the boss was a little frustrated, Linda spoke in relief.

"In the future, it is estimated that only top singers or big hit records will drive sales. Even listeners in developed countries may not like the mediocre works of small and medium-sized singers. Just buy pirated discs and listen to them. If they don't sound good, It doesn't hurt to throw it in the corner to eat ashes."

A woman at the door added that when Song Ya turned around, it turned out to be Fergie's manager Pai Kingsley. Her judgment was reasonable, but it was still bad news for the record industry as a whole.

"Fergie will start making a second album this year."

The two returned to the office, and sent Kingsley to get straight to the point, "She said you have promised to write a song for her yourself?"

"Yes, I promised, I have asked Dion Wilson and William Adams to help her create a new album this year, and I have done everything that should be done."

Song Ya replied: "And in a strong single in my second school, she will also have a Feat status."

"Can you let me see the sheet music for that song?" Pakinsley asked.

"I haven't written it yet, where's the score?"

Song Ya didn't speak well, and Tianqi hadn't come up with something suitable for Fergie to sing, "Don't rush me, can I talk about this after my wedding is over? I've been so busy recently."

"All right."

Pai Kingsley nodded, "I will also bring other artists under my banner to New York to join us."

"Pretty soup?" Song Ya was overjoyed again. Among his artists were the hottest Hollywood actors.

"Beautiful Soup won't go, he's not in the mood, you know, Oscar didn't think about him at all. We got sucked in by David Geffen, starred in a breakthrough image, only exchanged for a film that was barely considered a success at the box office , the production cost is nearly 70 million, Beimi 100 million, and global 220 million, but the publicity and distribution costs are extremely high."

Pai Kingsley complained, "Now Liang Tang is suspected by the tabloids of being a GA because of his performance in the movie, obviously he married Nicole a long time ago."

While chatting, the two decided on the budget and plan for Fergie's album announcement this year. This kind of CAA's powerful manager would naturally compare every penny for Fergie's interests, and Song Ya could only fight her one by one.

Last year, the albums of on and William Adams were both cold. This year it is my turn to release the album with Fergie. There is also a project of A+ Records in 1995. There is also Dion Wilson. The production director has also prepared some songs for himself in recent years. I plan to release a rap album this year, all in the second half of the year.

So Song Ya wanted to make a sudden decision on these things before the wedding.

"Ms. Kingsley, just so you're here."

When the negotiation was almost done, Hayden hurriedly pushed the door in and turned on the TV. At the same time, he comforted the wide-eyed Song Ya, "Don't worry, boss, it has nothing to do with us this time."

Speaking of Liangtang Liangtang, on the TV screen is Liangtang hugging his wife Nicole Kidman and talking into the microphone, "Actually, for me, the project of starring in Interview with the Vampire is a tortured process. Six months of back-and-forth and having to try some breakthrough performances and relationships, which are completely different from my personal values, and in a way, it all sucks..."

"Damn it."

Pai Kingsley scolded, "He started talking nonsense when I wasn't around. I really don't know when this big boy will really mature."

She stood up anxiously and said goodbye, "I'm sorry, APLUS, I have to go back to Los Angeles to put out the fire right away. Liang Tang must have made this statement because he was impatient with the tabloids. He told David Geffen when we went to the Vampire Project There are also grievances about Oscar’s vows. David Geffen did not fulfill his promise to us, so the soup will explode at the touch of it now... But Mr. David Geffen certainly doesn’t think so. He should be very angry now. Interview with the Vampire was thwarted at the Oscar nomination stage, and now it's being complained by actors..."

"I understand, goodbye, Ms. Kingsley, I won't see you off."
