That's five hundred million dollars...
cash!
There is no way out of the well, this choice is justified...
After the great turmoil, the sales situation of convertible bonds that Sony was forced to launch was not optimistic. Except for the corporate financial department, all heads and brains were required to low-key to pull people and institutions to subscribe, and do everything possible to find money to continue the company's life.
For example, I also found Citi and Chase...
Until now, there are only a little more than three months left before the issuance of convertible bonds, and the subscription intention is probably still far away from the target figure of 2.5 billion dollars.
Idei got 500 million of aplus, and he got one-fifth of it all at once. It is undoubtedly a boost to him who just lost his ceo throne and surrendered his seat as chairman.
And the price is only to sell the online license of the music copyright library?
For Idei, this is simply a profitless business! If you change to yourself and put yourself in the position, you will probably agree to aplus.
pity!
My original plan was that after taking office as CEO, I started from this convertible bond to introduce Citi and Chase to Sony, and then turned his face to allies through the backing of US capital and drove him down and replaced him...
What a pity!
"Then nger really pays a lot of money..."
Howard Stringer lay on the boss chair and muttered to himself.
Fortunately, aplus invested 500 million dollars in cash from yahoo that hadn't been warmed up to Sony, which is better than not being shot out.
He can only comfort himself so much.
Idei still trusts himself. In addition to the 500 million convertible debt, he also revealed to himself the mj cards that were suddenly thrown out during the aplus secret meeting and the chips related to Universal Music.
But from then on, I am afraid that Idei's personal relationship with aplus will be greatly improved.
Howard Stringer felt like a fire in his backyard.
That nger is so **** rich!
In today's recording industry, except Disney and Sony Columbia, they are all crazily winking at Ge, asking for support, especially the Universal Department of the US television network that Ge is determined to win.
And Tangtangge, in the current market sentiment, it is difficult to find a joint ally who is willing and able to share the cost of acquiring the Global Department.
Ge now also counts on aplus!
The global department is up and down, even including the Bronfman family with old grievances. Everyone is eagerly looking at the aplus, which is waving the checkbook and waiting for the price!
Selling out-of-name duo former ally Sony Columbia Records? There is no psychological burden at all!
Aplus got the help of top veterans in shopping malls such as Amelio, and the method is indeed getting more and more sophisticated. This trick must be made by Amelio, who went to Tokyo with him!
There will be no one else!
Although Amelio was dirty by Jobs in public opinion and became the most incompetent ceo in history, how could he be the ceo of Apple that year without two brushes in his hands? !
Less than 30 years old, a team of ten billionaires who have gradually formed...
Don't compete with it!
Howard Stringer became dizzy and more discouraged, and hated MJ. If it wasn't for MJ to discredit himself at a critical moment, Sony's CEO would not be Ken Kutaragi, but himself...
The current situation will be completely different!
Damn it!
Thinking of this, he picked up the landline microphone, aplus is too hard, first pinch the soft persimmon of mj, and clean the door!
"Harvey, it's me."
Clean up the door first, and then slowly figure out aplus, because of the shooting that year, aplus is always a big trouble.
Aplus is not necessarily still unaware, at least it is suspicious to go to Tokyo to get out of the well in the background.
He is very alert and has a clear understanding of this.
"I'm back! Amy?"
After successfully completing the task, Song Ya, who was tired of traveling all the way from Tokyo, walked into Amy's house, "Amy!?"
This time he came back without notice, he wanted to surprise Amy.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Amy screamed happily when he heard his voice, ran out like a fawn, jumped up, hung on her boyfriend like a koala, and sent a kiss warmly.
"Ha ha!"
With a smile, Song Ya’s fatigue was wiped out in an instant, and he hugged his girlfriend three hundred and sixty degrees, and then saw Shakira who was holding the threshold...
So laughed and walked straight over, in Shakira's body language with jealousy and half-pushing, one hand one by one, the two little hot moms are not heavy, affectionate left and right kisses, walked and walked, and went straight to the gentle town. .
‘The beats company revealed that their music store development has reached the final sprint stage, and next month’s second-generation beatsmp3 new product launch conference will also be held as scheduled. Prior to this, they have successively obtained all the online authorizations for the six major record copyright libraries, and will open about ten palm/beats directly-operated stores in major cities in North America. ’
‘Apple announced that it will release the windows version of itunes music store next month...’
In September 2003, with the signing of the licensing contract with Universal Music Sony Columbia Records, the last obstacle to the beats music store also disappeared. After Apple was scolded for six months that itunes did not support the windows operating system, it will also be at the same Time to make up for this mistake.
Jobs' arrogance gave beats exactly half a year to catch up.
Song Ya went to Jenny’s house in Boston. His main purpose of this trip was to visit the Ge headquarters in this city, to formally inform the other party of his decision not to participate in the acquisition of the Global Department and apologize to the chairman and CEO Immelt. By the way, I took my son Rams and Jenny and his ex-husband’s son Kay back to Chicago, because Jenny was going abroad for a period of time to shoot a Warner blockbuster Sahara location scene.
Although he suspended ge for a while, it was a normal business decision after all. Immelt also expressed his understanding generously, at least on the surface very friendly.
As for playing around the world again...
Anyway, the goal of getting music store song authorization has been achieved, just play it.
And Doug Morris, president of Universal Music, has a tacit understanding with him. In order to stay behind, he can't make trouble for no reason.
"Gordon and they are here."
Jenny walked into the study and reminded the man who was resting his cheeks in thought in front of the TV.
Song Ya looked at the time. Gordon would not bring Quincy Jones to Jenny's big mouth. The three old men went to the nearby Houghton Mifflin's house and waited for him, "Then let's go."
"You go first, and I'll go there before the dinner starts."
Jenny was busy packing the things of the two children. The assistant outside was instructing the servant to carry the boxes of luggage she was going to take abroad tomorrow to the car. The location was in the desert, so she had to bring a lot of things.
"I didn't bother to accompany them to dinner."
Perhaps it was to seek support from Congressman Gordon of the same ethnic group in the r Kelly case. Quincy Jones and Jesse Jackson also came to Boston. Their Boeing 757 target was too big, and they happened to be caught by Quincy Jones, who also had a private jet at the airport. Bumped into it.
The big mouth really encouraged Gordon and Jesse Jackson to come over.
Song Ya was rather unhappy about their unplanned visit, "Let's go, sit down for half an hour and we'll be back."
"All right."
When he and Jenny arrived there, President Holden Mifflin was leading the guests to visit the house, "It's so beautiful, this house must be a hundred years old?" Quincy Jones praised in a protracted black voice.
