Song Ya calmed down a bit. After all, Comcast had the channel resources of ACE. Sloan was right. He had enough enemies, and he couldn't always make trouble and consume the patience of the Roberts family, and last time Threatened to go to the next home: John Malone is also impossible to cooperate with himself again and again, "but we must warn Jobs, a clear warning."
"Because of what? Just because Jobs met Ken Kutaragi and Howard Stringer? Don't forget, you bought Sony convertible bonds for 500 million dollars."
Sloan complained: "You know Jobs's character better than me. The warning will only be counterproductive."
"Then don't warn, let's take action! Time flickers in July, and the finals will be played at the next Disney shareholders meeting next year..."
Song Ya picked up the landline microphone and said, "Take Dr. Chen."
"We will buy more than 5% of Apple's shares. It must be publicized. Boss, do you still have some copyright and asset management companies, right?" Dr. Chen asked after receiving his order.
"Well, two percent."
Copyright and asset management companies use their own personal money, most of which are purchased from the open market. The first investment bank-related fund managed by Dr. Chen uses investor money.
"Apple's stock price has been rising. It is now two yuan and four, and it is standing in front of the tens of billions of market value."
Dr. Chen said: "Under the leadership of Jobs, the market outlook is also very promising. It is already difficult for us to buy stocks from small and medium shareholders and institutions in the primary market."
"Amelio definitely still has a relationship with Apple. His professional managers always like to keep a hand..."
Song Ya thought for a while, "I'll give him some pressure."
"APLUS, First Bank and Investment Bank are currently only small players in the financial industry."
Sensing the pressure, Amelio slowed down and reminded every word: "You know how difficult the operation of the First Bank is made by the people in New Jersey. You have also read those reports. I finally got too slow. Slowly straighten out..."
"I know, I know, you did a great job Jill."
Song Ya praised him a few words, "I need to make the first investment bank's Apple stock more than 5% in a short period of time, more than a little bit enough for the placard, and the funds in the first investment bank are enough."
"Now? It's difficult, Apple's stock price has..."
"I will cooperate with you." Song Ya interrupted him strongly.
'Palm has just released its financial report for the first half of 2004. The data shows that due to the hot sales of its new Tero650 smartphone and the second-generation Beats music player, as well as benefiting from the gradual expansion of the Beimi franchise store layout, Palm Both revenue and profit have simultaneously reversed the huge loss in 2003 and have seen rapid growth...'
Affected by this news, Palm's stock price rose sharply, while rival Apple's stock price suffered a small drop for the first time this year...
‘New Jersey’s No. 1 Investment Bank has just issued a public announcement that its Apple shares have exceeded 5% and reached 5.1%. ’
On August 1, 2004, under Amelio’s public relations drill, his friend, the manager of an organization, paid off the premium of Apple’s stock in his hands, and the buyer was naturally the related fund of the first investment bank.
Then Apple's stock price also rose sharply.
But Jobs frowned.
In fact, Song Ya misjudged, the technical madman Kutaragi Ken is still a little less sensitive to the US shopping malls. Last time he simply wanted to meet with Jobs, the iconic tech hero. He took the initiative to say that Howard Stringer was naturally happy to see it.
"He broke the tacit understanding first."
But it didn’t matter. Jobs was furious. A young billionaire who switched from the entertainment industry officially sounded the clarion call to attack the company he created and saved. He couldn’t tolerate it. “We must give a clear response.” He Touch your chin, "First choose a small battlefield."
‘Apple’s official offer to earphone manufacturer Mosound Company...’
"We must reject Apple's acquisition."
The Mosheng Headphone Company is not expensive, but Song Ya did not buy it, just to ensure the Beats headphone product line of the same name that the Beats Walkman cooperates with Mosheng, and let Beats strategically hold some shares and a board of directors.
There are so many suppliers of Walkman components, it is impossible to buy them all one by one.
"Their offer is very tempting."
Noel, the owner, president and founder of Mosound Headphones parent company Mosound Wire, has received Apple’s offer and now sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. "Are you planning to join the competition APLUS?"
"No, Apple is targeting Beats. We can't fight against Apple in order to keep every component supplier." Song Ya expressed his attitude.
"Then I can't help it."
Noel Lee is also of Chinese descent. In business, Beats is certainly the largest buyer of Magic Sound headphones, but Apple’s pricing also includes the integration of its own products into the supply chain, and Apple’s iPod sales and Beats are not at the same order of magnitude. of.
"I remember that your shares in the Magic Sound Headphone Company are very scattered, right?"
The black Pharaoh Hidden Jifeng’s inquiry came from the earphones, “Yes.” Noel Lee replied in the affirmative, “But I think I need to remind you, Beats earphone product line and BeatsByDr.Dre high-end headset products The cord is one of the main selling points of your Walkman."
"OK."
"Then see you on the headphone company board?"
"I might not go in person, Donna."
Jobs' counterattack was swift and fierce, and Song Ya's mobility was also very strong, and he flew to Los Angeles immediately.
Because it was Derry’s idea to make this kind of headphones, Song Ya later brought him into the scene to compensate Derry. However, Iowen, the record owner of Universal’s record label, the parent company of Derry Records, learned the news from Derry. Also proposed to join, Iowen and Derui bought a lot of stocks of Magic Sound Headphones, both of which are directors.
After Derry took out Eminem, Iowen’s career has been smooth in recent years, and he has recently taken over as the president of AandM, a veteran record label under Universal.
According to the current board of directors of Mosound Headphones, taking Iowen Gadri is almost enough to block this wave of Apple's acquisition offensive.
"David, how are you doing lately?"
Iowen was led by David Geffen's discovery, so this time Song Ya asked David Geffen as a middleman, and also met David Geffen first, "Harvey got Katzenberg?"
"Ha ha."
Stabbed to the pain by Song Ya, David Geffen sneered uncomfortably. His plan to tie Katzenberg to DreamWorks was frustrated. Under the temptation of lead party Harvey and Disney, Katzenberg insisted on letting him Its animation department takes the initiative before this great opportunity to return to Disney. Therefore, Katzenberg intends to separate the animation department of DreamWorks first and form DreamWorks Animation Company to prepare for the replacement of Pixar's position in Disney.
David Geffen is naturally unacceptable, but another partner, the great director Spielberg, has an ambiguous attitude, which makes David Geffen and Katzenberg completely fall out. There are now a few fellow travelers on both sides, and they don’t even talk. said.
"DreamWorks Animation replaced Pixar... would you like to see it too?" he asked rhetorically.
"Yes."
That means that Jobs’ Pixar animation will definitely leave. Song Ya is certainly happy to see it, but the three parties will also be out of balance at the same time. “Of course, what I want most is to see Disney buy DreamWorks as a whole.”
