【Anti-theft sticker chapter】
Tinkerbell and broadcast, in fact, are absolutely controlled by the Westeros system.
Claire wondered: "Boss, I think, as long as you agree to this matter, there is no need for an IPO."
The main purpose of most IPOs is to raise funds.
However, for Tinkerbell, although it has not been established for a long time, the electronics company has begun to generate stable cash flow by relying on the hot sales of its series of products. Even if financing is needed, it is very convenient to use debt financing now.
The most important point is that it is very uneconomical to do an IPO on Tincober right now.
Tinkerbell has maintained a performance growth of more than 100% for the past two consecutive years, and the growth rate of revenue in the first few months of this year shows no sign of slowing down. Coupled with the just-launched explosive digital music player iplayer, it can That said, like Igreit, the later the company does an IPO, the higher the valuation it can get.
An IPO in the short term will only mean a cheap sale.
Claire is also aware of this, and he mentioned the broadcast to Simon, just hoping that his boss will push the two companies to merge privately, and he has no intention of pushing for the IPO of Tin Keber.
Simon just shook his head and said: "Of course there are other reasons, c, are you satisfied with the current development momentum of Tincober?"
Girl C suddenly smiled and said, "Seriously, boss, when I first started, I never thought that Tincober could develop to the current scale. In fact, I was very satisfied."
Simon was suddenly speechless.
Claire laughed softly.
After joking, Simon took a sip of the coffee next to him, then took up his sunglasses and put them on to block the afternoon sun on the terrace, and said, "Actually, it's not just a broadcast, I also hope that Tinkerbell will be able to do it in the last two years. buy Apple."
Lady C was a little surprised: "Boss, Apple's decline is obvious now, I..." Having said this, Claire suddenly understood something, sat up slightly, and looked at Simon: "Well, boss, you want to support Apple, And the operating system that Igreit quietly developed to compete with Microsoft?"
After a period of wrangling, Igreit has officially reached an agreement with Microsoft to pre-install the IE browser in the overseas version of indos. However, no matter in the circle or in the media, you can probably see the signs of discord between the two companies, and there have been many signs of perennial correlation recently.
Being in the same circle, Claire naturally felt more deeply. When Simon mentioned the apple, she quickly reacted.
Simon didn't deny it, nodded directly, and said, "It's not just competing with Microsoft, Apple has a lot of things that both Igreit and Tinkerbell need very much in the next step."
Girl C directly followed up this time: "Patent?"
This is the result of Simon's long-term intimidation.
A long time ago, just after the establishment of Tinkerbell, Simon emphasized the importance of patents to C girl more than once. In the entire Westeros system, almost all companies have special departments responsible for applying for various types of applications in the United States and around the world. brand trademark and patented technology.
The effect is remarkable.
Simon nodded again: "Yes, patents, because the operating system was developed earlier than Microsoft, and Apple holds a large number of core patents related to operating systems. Only by obtaining these patents can we successfully launch another operating system platform. , which can ensure that the Internet ecology of the Westeros system is not restricted by the Microsoft indos system to the greatest extent. In fact, as the second largest shareholder of Microsoft, I do not want to develop a second operating system to compete with indos. However, Because Gates not only does not want Microsoft to be a part of the Westeros system, but also has considerable hostility to us, I can only do it. Even if the personal computer of the Linux system is launched, the share will not be too high, and it will not be too high. It will become the core business of Tinkerbell. In the final analysis, this is just an insurance, an insurance that Microsoft is afraid of. I want Gates to understand that if Microsoft cannot support the Internet ecology of the Westeros system well, the result will only be Users rushed to our linux system."
Tinkerbell can develop to what it is today. Lady C is very clear that her own boss has played a crucial role in it. Over the years, with the rapid rise of the Westeros system by the sidelines, Claire is also almost blind to her own boss. Trust, after listening to Simon's explanation, the girl said directly: "So, boss, I will start preparing for the ipo soon?"
Simon leaned on the reclining chair, tapped his fingers on the wooden support of the reclining chair a few times, and said, "In this way, you discuss with Jeff and the others about the acquisition of broadcast, although I can decide directly, I still want to get Igret. The cooperation there, and the New York Times Group, after all, they are also important shareholders of broadcast, and after you have completed the merger, you will start the IPO."
Claire turned sideways on his reclining chair: "Boss, so you agree?"
Simon is not a man who lacks determination.
Whether it is to keep broadcast alone and become a large-scale online audio sales platform for all digital music players in the future, or to integrate it into Tinkerbell to maintain the market advantage of iplayer to the greatest extent, it is a very good choice.
However, it is not known when the former plan is to be realized.
There will be many mishaps. The latter is close at hand.
The merger of the two companies will also maximize Tinkobel's Internet attributes, which will help the subsequent IPO valuation.
Simon agreed to Girl C's question and said, "Although this is the case, you will face more challenges in the future. Before that, I originally meant to focus all the world's major record giants on the broadcast platform, Make it the only online sales platform for genuine audio for all digital music players. Because broadcast is not owned by any hardware company, it's relatively easy to do. Now, once you merge, think again It's hard to get a license from a record company. Like Sony, because they want to protect the interests of the alkman, they certainly won't put music on the broadcast platform easily."
Lady C blinked and said, "Boss, do you think there will be a second electronic manufacturer of digital music players that can compete with Tinkerbell?"
Simon smiled and said: "That's for sure, I know you have built a very strong patent barrier on your side. However, in this regard, you are definitely no match for old-fashioned manufacturers such as Sony. With iplayer's hot sales this month , I think other manufacturers will definitely develop the same type of products as long as they are not stupid."
In the past, the iPod was launched in 2001. It was not until 2005 that Jobs opened the product to the indos system under Apple's internal pressure, which prompted the explosion of iPod sales. However, at that time, the iPod had actually missed the perfect period of monopolizing the market, and both Sony and Microsoft had successively launched digital music player products.
Then, with the arrival of the era of smart phones, traditional feature phones also began to integrate mp3 functions on a large scale, resulting in the rapid elimination of mp3 players from the market.
Therefore, the iPod's dominance is actually only a few short years since 2005. Even if the arrival of the new era has dampened the enthusiasm of other manufacturers to develop mp3 players, the iPod's market share will only be around 60% after 2006. .
It's different now.
Although Moore's Law's semiconductor performance doubling cycle is very short, it will take time in the end, which means that from 1995 to 2005, there will be at least 10 years left. Products such as digital music players are too integrated. It's not that they can't do it, but the performance is difficult to meet the standard, and the cost will be very expensive, which makes digital music players such as iplayer with a single performance have at least ten years of prosperity. .
In ten years, even if Tinkobeier is stronger, under the trend of huge profits, there will inevitably be competitors who will spare no effort to develop this market.
C girl plans to merge broadcast, mainly to gain more initiative in terms of content.
At this time, after hearing what Simon said, combined with another plan of the broadcast he just mentioned, I realized that after all, I did not have the long-term vision that my boss thought.
Simon looked at Girl C's expression and added: "Actually, there is another point, the popularity of iplayer should be similar to the vcd I plan to promote in China, and it mainly relies on pirated resources. You should have felt this recently. In fact, it’s better to hand the broadcast to you, so as to block the mouths of those record companies to the greatest extent. Of course, everyone knows this matter well, and don’t say it.”
Girl C nodded with a little smirk, as if she had done bad things with her boss, and said, "However, Sony has already protested to us."
Simon smiled and said: "Sony is the least qualified to do this. In the VCR, Hollywood sued Sony, and they won in the end. If Sony initiates the same lawsuit, their own case will happen to be brought out as a precedent. Of course, in my It seems that the main role of piracy should be to force those record companies to authorize broadcast to sell genuine music resources. You must keep in mind that, at the right time, Ygritte and Tincober will also take the initiative to jointly combat piracy. c, you Understand that copyright is the foundation of the entertainment industry, and if we don’t respect this, then piracy will destroy the entire entertainment industry, and at that time, a hardware company like Tinkerbell that is attached to the entertainment industry will only die.”
When girl C heard this, she nodded solemnly.
The two continued to chat, and as the time approached two o'clock in the afternoon, they got up from the terrace together.
Claire resigned from her job at Tinkerbell's headquarters. Simon came to the master bedroom of the villa. The housekeeper was still asleep. She sensed the movement around her and woke up sharply. Blush, very attractive.
...
...
The only online authorized audio sales platform for all digital music players. Because broadcast does not belong to any hardware company, the difficulty of this matter is relatively low. Now, once you merge, it's going to be very hard to get a license from a record label. Just like Sony, because they want to protect the interests of alkman, they will definitely not easily put music on the broadcast platform. "
Lady C blinked and said, "Boss, do you think there will be a second electronic manufacturer of digital music players that can compete with Tinkerbell?"

The two continued to chat, and when the clock approached, they got up from the terrace together.
