Chicago 1990

Chapter 898

Angelina's MV is full of singing and dancing, very lively, but it is still Song Ya's favorite style of saving money. He uses his lewd expression and body posture to stick to Angelina Ake while twisting and singing, which accounts for about one-third of the MV. , the others are Angelina Acker's solo dance, and Latin style dancers' group dance.

Of course, the production team must arrange the shooting plan according to his schedule, so as not to delay the superstar's time.

After the filming, Song Ya led the team to Silicon Valley. This time the matter was more troublesome. Simply put, it is as follows:

He plans to spend a generous purchase price of about three million dollars to fully cover Def American boss Rick Rubin's shares in American Music Magazine, so as to unilaterally publicize that he will be "kicked out" of the magazine in order to Revenge on Rick Rubin's ticket-running betrayal at the Grammys in a matter of face.

Although Rick Rubin was warned that he would go to war if he didn't accept it, he still tried to bargain. He pointed out that he didn't care about the three million dollars, and the annual loss of American Music Magazine was just a drizzle to him. , unless the gossip tabloid reported on Louise is exchanged.

Louise reported that Song Ya bought Song Ya for $500,000 that year. After several years of operation, the value of the newspaper has not increased by as much as six times. It stands to reason that this business is cost-effective, but Louise’s report has already in-depth cooperation with the American music website. Binding, the editorial department of the tabloid is rooted in Los Angeles, and outputs a lot of content for the website every day. Although it is all rubbish and gossip news that catches the wind and shadows, the website will not work without their website suddenly.

At least Delay was unwilling. As the president of the American music website, after learning that Song Ya intended to agree to Rick Rubin's conditions, he even said that he would also join the bidding, and planned to spend 3.5 to 4 million dollars to annex Lou Louise reported that it was completely brought under the management of the editorial department of the American music website.

The chain reaction is that in order to raise the acquisition cost plus the cost of website hardware expansion, DeLay intends to sell part of the land that he uses for the American music website project to YAHOO, which will be listed next month.

YAHOO is a direct competitor of Infoseek, Netscape's search engine partner. Infoseek somehow got the news. In order to interfere with YAHOO, which was about to grow through listing, they persuaded Jim Clark to try to prevent this land transaction.

In this way, if he agreed to Jim Clark, Delay would not be able to raise money.

Things got more and more complicated, so there was this trip to Silicon Valley. Song Ya planned to talk to Jim Clark in person. It happened that Netscape had just won a big contract from General Motors and went to attend the other party's celebration dinner.

"It's really inconvenient not to have a private jet, APLUS."

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and the wife of the governor who went to San Francisco together is not satisfied with the first class.

"I heard that Paul Allen of Microsoft bought two Boeing 757-200s in one go."

"Uh, the 757 crashed into a mountain in Colombia and killed more than 160 people last year."

Paul Allen bought a second-hand aircraft of that type for more than 100 million yuan, and the annual maintenance cost is tens of millions. Can he afford it? Really, there is a huge gap between billionaires and billionaires.

Affected by the good news of General Motors' large order, Netscape's stock price approached $150 infinitely. Jim Clark is now worth about $2.5 billion, which is also a step away from himself.

"Mr. Picower?"

Song Ya didn't expect to see the tycoon Picower who hadn't heard back from him in Jim Clark's manor mansion, and was just sent out by him and Infoseek boss Kirsch himself.

"APLUS? What a coincidence." Picower smiled and shook hands, then hurried to his Rolls-Royce.

"Please wait, uh, Mr. Picower, have you mentioned my matter to Mr. Madoff?" He didn't care about the present, including himself, a total of four rich men with a net worth of more than 500 million gathered, and Jim Clark After apologizing with Kirsch, he caught up with Picower and asked.

Last month, he earned over 100 million from the sea, excluding the 10 million that was allocated to A+ venture capital in 1996 who was still unable to generate blood by himself, and 20 million in cash reserved for a non-existent lawsuit, reserved for his business Working capital, political donations during the general election year, tax money that Song Asheng had applied to postpone until July because Song Asheng could not come back, and at least 60 million cash that can be used freely.

In the previous stock market investments, except for Apple, which was losing money and Dow was up slightly, other stocks rose in value with this year's big bull market. Companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, HP, and NOKIA simply went crazy, and he had no intention of adding more investment.

Because of the divorce, Song Ya knew that her reputation had been hit hard. Conservative fans, especially adult fans, lost a lot of fans, and scumbags were not welcome to set up with them. In addition to the rest of the basic market, even the neutral public's psychological tendency is almost completely sympathetic to Mariah Carey, especially the news that Xuelin Fen and her son are visiting Chicago. Afterwards.

So this year he also knows that he has great risks in all aspects, and he must try to keep a low profile, keep a steady pace, and stop making negative news. He completed his undergraduate studies in the first half of the year, and concentrated on preparing for the LSAT exam for law school admission in the second half of the year. Busy 'full marks' global tour, and to join the Hollywood shoot blade.

Then the best place for the 60 million is to store it in the Madoff Fund, which is safe, rich in returns, and has a good degree of freedom.

"Of course, Madoff seems to be still in the stage of reviewing your qualifications. I will inform you of the results."

Picower glanced at Jim Clark and Kirsch over there, "Do you still remember our rules? Don't ask, don't tell."

"Uh, I apologize, and I'll pay attention next time." Song Ya knew that Madoff's secret society game was very annoying to discuss these things in front of outsiders, and investors were not even allowed to ask about the flow of funds. Just like this, everyone is still crowded, Nass The chairman of the NACO exchange is so awesome.

"Yeah." Picower nodded and got into the car.

It was only now that Song Ya felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere among the few people present, "What's wrong with you? Mr. Clark."

"This guy has raised 2.3% or more of Netscape stock from you, other shareholders, and the open market." Jim Clark looked at the Rolls-Royce going away and gritted his teeth: "This is still from Calculated from publicly available information.”

"I see."

Song Ya knew that Jim Clark's control over Netscape was very tight. He once said to himself that as long as he owns more than 5% of Netscape's stock, he is his enemy. Unexpectedly, this time Netscape was tested by Pi The big Wall Street forces behind Bill or Picower are eyeing them.

The so-called barbarians at the door, in this year when Netscape is making great strides, Jim Clark does not want to encounter a battle for control of the company, "How could I agree to his motion to acquire Netscape stock in my hand, and you don't want to sell it anymore Give it to him, we'd better sign another supplementary agreement."

"Okay, I'll think about it." Song Ya nodded. It's hard to find a big buyer like Picoul, even though his stock, which cost $134 per share, has appreciated by 10% in a month. More, if he earns, he will lose.

Jim Clark glanced over with displeasure, "Let's go over there and talk."

"Okay, uh..." Song Ya looked at Alicia again.

"Then I'll go in first." Alicia said wittily.

"This lady is..." Jim Clark remembered her from several encounters before, but couldn't remember the way for a while.

"Oh, it's the wife of Illinois Governor Peter Flock. Her law firm is now in charge of the legal affairs of A+ Audio Company, the parent company of the American music website." Song Ya helped introduce.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Flock. Let's go for a walk, anyway, it's just a small talk..."

Kirsch and Jim Clark immediately shook Alicia's hand warmly and offered an invitation.

"Thanks."

So the four of them walked and chatted in the Victorian garden outside, with Alicia following closely behind them.

"APLUS, it's like this. My Infoseek's IPO progress was preempted by YAHOO. They were in April, at the beginning of the month, just a few days from now. And we are in June. You know what this means in the Internet industry this year. "

They are all billionaires, and time is precious. Kirsch got straight to the point and said: "I noticed that your American music website is in a very delicate position in Sunnyvale. Take some of the vacant land next door to the American music site, okay?"

"It's basically like this, so Dilai is talking to them." Song Ya replied, YAHOO should not have considered that far when starting a business, and now... If you don't want to change the address of the headquarters, you will suffer some blood.

"Still talking?" Jim Clark asked.

"Still talking, uh, close to a deal."

Song Ya replied 1510: "The American music website is in urgent need of a new round of hardware investment. I think you all know how tight DeLay's funds are."

"Hey, I didn't expect that the capital increase cycle of playing the Internet is much faster than that of traditional large industries. This year everyone is burning money desperately."

Kirsch complained: "YAHOO was only a small company with a loss of 1.3 million dollars last year, and the IPO was expected to be worth 400 million dollars."

"400 million!? I heard it was more than 200 million." Hearing the new news, Song Ya sighed with both jealousy and regret.

"400 million, maybe more, their road show was very successful, and Wall Street is optimistic about them."

Jim Clark waved his hand unhappily, "Anyway, APLUS, sell that piece of land to Kirsch, you are a shareholder of Netscape, and Infoseek is Netscape's default search function provider, we should stand firmly on the same side Front, isn't it?"

It is of course a good thing that someone competes, "But YAHOO is about to go public, can Infoseek outbid them? The American music website is in urgent need of money, but you can't wait for your IPO in June."

Before, I let the financial guests openly preach that it is best for APLUS to get out of Netscape completely.

"I paid for it personally," Kirsch replied.

Then it's no problem, his personal wealth is definitely enough, you two rivals, let's tear it apart, the more intense the better, "Yes." Song Yaya agreed.
