"Hotmail has already completed financing. With a leading market share, they are the first to launch a free policy and spend money to expand their market share. This shows that they are full of confidence, and we should have no chance."

Dr. Chen, president of A+ Venture Capital, said in a phone call from Song Ya: "I don't know how much Hotmail is currently valued, but it is said in Silicon Valley that the combined worth of the two founders has exceeded 100 million."

"Shxt!"

It must be too late, "They are the boss, who is the second?" 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. RocketMail ranks second in market share. I heard that it is planning to follow up Hotmail's free strategy."

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

"Shxt! Fxxk!"

It's late, it's late, Song Ya pulled her hair straight, why didn't she think of playing with email, "It means that there is no good opportunity in this industry?"

"Uh, it should be, but not necessarily. Think about it, providing 2M free space for each user, according to the current cost of storage and network hardware, the burning speed will be amazing. The larger the number of users, the faster the burning. Maybe we'll be patient and wait until they bleed dry..."

Dr. Chen said: "I don't know much about e-mail, but I heard that the technical threshold is actually not high. It is not so easy for them to burn money to eliminate competitors and then turn to fee-based profits. Of course, it is another matter to rush to market in time."

"Well, indeed, patience is important."

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

Now he could only exercise his patience. He opened the email sent to him by the trio and read it carefully. Except for the chip technical documents that were ostentatious and ostentatious, the rest basically said one thing: Boss, don’t worry, the money will be burnt to ten. In January, when the new chip VoodooRush compatible with 2D capabilities is launched, we will definitely kill everything, and 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 Yaxin did some calculations and almost smashed the computer.

"No no no, don't get angry, don't get angry, calm down, be patient."

With his left hand, he blocked the swinging fist of the male martial artist, and with his right hand, he blocked the female martial artist's kick.

"Drink! Ha!"

The young Chinese male martial artist cherished this rare opportunity to appear on the stage. He was particularly energetic in front of the camera, shouting loudly, using both fists and kicks, unconsciously not paying attention to the strength of the routine, and actually had a head-on fight with the male lead.

"WTF!? What are you doing, Ray?"

Song Ya's arm was hurting, and the scene was stopped. She pushed the kid anxiously on the spot. She had been in a bad mood since last night and said, "Action director! Take care of your people."

Regardless of the fluff of the crew, they played big games and went back to the dressing room.

"Then today..." Zach Schneider followed in after a while, and Song Ya raised the ice pack that Old Mike had just tied on to him, "Then let's forget about today, you rest APLUS, I will find a way to shoot other people's scenes first ..."

"Really!"

Watching Zack Schneider disappear obediently, Mr. Song Ya sulked for a while, and then thought about finding something to do for himself, but he couldn't read the test book, so he called Donovan and Hayden, " How are my talks with A+ Records going?"

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

Hayden laughed and said, "Even including EMI and Polygram, really, don't look at the conflicts between you, but they still welcome..."

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

Song Ya interrupted him impatiently, who would not welcome a fashion superstar in vain, the key is how much he is willing to pay for it.

"As you know about EMI, there are two major record labels in Beimi, Viking Beimi and Capitol Records. At present, the most interested one is Capitol Records..." The two managers began to introduce in detail.

Capitol Records is headquartered in Los Angeles. I have taken a fancy to Fergie, a fellow countryman, for a long time. I also asked Pai Kingsley to help me find it, but it was unsuccessful. This time I am very interested in winning 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 the shares of A+ Records to include them in the ranks of their own subsidiaries. The specific price has not yet been discussed.

The situation of PolyGram is very interesting. Although there is a big feud, there is a room in his family that is in Los Angeles with Capitol Records. AandM Records is not a powerful prince in the headquarters. AM was once brilliant and owned Carpenter, Sting and The police band, the Sex Pistols and other super groups, another DIVA, MJ's sister Janet Jackson basically became famous all the way in his house.

But it’s not working anymore. After being acquired by Polygram for 500 million dollars in the late 1980s, the singer was gone, and the founder also ran away in 1993. Now there is almost only an empty shell left.” Guess they won't insist on A+ Records being a subsidiary," Donovan said.

"Forget it, Polygram, the management is a mess, all the good cards are smashed, and the Motown Records under its banner just ran away Boyz IIman."

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

"Maybe it's in your interest to have chaos within the parent company," Donovan laughed.

"Forget it, I don't want to have a similar fight with Sony Columbia Records, it's not fun."

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 after a few years...

Then there is BMG, BMG's big vassal in the United States is RCA (Radio Records Corporation of America), and one of RCA's big vassals is Alista Records in Atlanta, and BABYFACE's LAFACE Records, Pladdy's Bad Boy Records are all in Alistar Star Records.

Another big vassal of RCA is JIVE Records. Popular rhythm and blues singers such as R Kelly and Aaliyah are all signed by his family's Chicago branch. Quincy Jones, who is also in Chicago, has a great influence on this company.

"BMG has a very good momentum now, and they will bloom more. They are actually the least active. My negotiations with them are still in the initial stage, which is in sharp contrast to their full support for LAFACE's record pursuit of BoyzIIman." Donovan said.

"Understandable, I don't want me to be a bit of a scourge in the past."

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

Hayden laughed, "The most popular one insists on learning from MCHammer and you owning your own record company, and only signs a record distribution contract with the publishing company. The least popular one opposes sole proprietorship, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money The signing money is guaranteed. The one who is homesick has only one condition, the location of the new company must be located in his hometown of Philadelphia. The one who has no desires and desires has already taken advantage of this gap to invest in a barber shop and beauty salon in Philadelphia... Each of the four has an idea. "

They are all fucking talents, Song Ya rolled her eyes and continued to ask.

Warner's Atlantic Records has always had a good relationship with me. There is Steven, a black executive I met when I first arrived in New York. A+ Records has long rented his recording studio for its New York singers. His family traditionally treats black singers as friendliest. Even Warner does not allow the trouble of having a wholly-owned label, but it seems to be negotiable.

Not to mention Universal, the big boss Bronfman Jr., David Geffen who still retains some influence after Geffen Records was acquired by Universal’s MCA Records, Universal Music President Doug Morris, Universal Pictures President Ron Meyer himself has dealt with each other, and the relationship is different, but overall it is good, and there has never been a conflict.

"Jr. Bronfman is also the most loose-handed and most talkative entertainment tycoon. After filming Blade Warrior, you should take the opportunity of this project to communicate with him more. He likes talented people to flatter him." Hayden said.

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

Speaking of which, Su Ge Knight's death row records are also released through Universal, but there is a record in the middle.

But it doesn't matter, no one likes the rebellious Su Ge Knight, he is very marginal in the entire global system, that is, everyone pinches their noses because they see that 2PAC and Snoop Dogg can make money.

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

"Then I'm at a big loss? Of the Big Three's DreamWorks records, only the outdated George Michael can play. In all, there are not even a few new albums released, and the platinum records are still zero."

David Geffen thought well.

In the end, it was Ovitz's suggestion last time. Disney integrated its record companies into the seventh largest publisher, and then signed it by itself.

"That's more complicated. The Disney Emperor Eisner is now against as long as Ovitz supports it. They will have to fight for a while if they want to do this. Mr. Roy Disney told me that it will be at least until the end of the year." Eyebrows."

Donovan said: "And the new seventh largest record distributor will inevitably be strangled by the six majors, and you will be affected, APLUS."

"Well, don't be in a hurry for the time being, just like that slow-tempered Terry Beard of DTS, who dragged on and on, until the end, others will be anxious first. I still have time, so I can continue to wait."

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