The CFO of DTS has been very busy recently. This forty-year-old white man appeared to be a little sluggish. “The market is not very optimistic about the prospects of an audio technology company. The biggest problem is that they don’t think we can compete with Dolby Laboratories and Sony. SDDS."
"DTS already has a good market in the film industry, doesn't it?"
Song Ya asked: "In order to increase the number of movie theaters, more and more film companies have begun to incorporate DTS into the audio format of new projects, alongside Dolby and SDDS. I see new Hollywood movies on the copy film. There are audio codes compatible with three formats."
"Yes, our business situation is fine."
The CFO nodded, "But IPOs are actually a process of public financing. We need to explain to investors where we want to spend the money we have raised and what expected benefits. Essentially, we have to say that everyone agrees Story. If we are only satisfied with the professional cinema market, why should we go public? We can achieve at most one-third of the professional cinema market, or one of the three surviving companies, that market is not big..."
"Where is the selling point of our story?" Song Ya asked.
"The share of surround sound in home theaters is much larger in the general user market than in the professional market. Our President Terry Beard intends to put the treasure on the next generation of home audio and video media, that is, the SD optical disc format. Only that kind of large-capacity optical disc can be used. Extra large data volume surround sound music files will be installed. So we will use the money from the post-marketing circle to acquire a series of small and medium-sized technology companies that hold relevant patents and squeeze into the SD format supporting industry."
"But the problem now is that the SD format may not necessarily win. Our camp includes Toshiba, Time Warner, Panasonic, Hitachi, etc.... Because Toshiba bought Rockefeller Center and privately exported machine tools to the collective disgust of the Americans, Panasonic It is about to sell Universal, and its influence will inevitably drop."
CFO analyzes one by one, "And our opponent is the DVD alliance formed by companies such as Sony and Philips. Sony has Columbia Pictures and Columbia Records. There are MJ, Mariah Carey, You, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, and Michael Bolton. Wait for the most popular singer of this era. Philips has PolyGram. Last year it also bought influential music production upstream companies such as Motown and DefJam Records. They also promoted the VCD standard very well in underdeveloped areas. "
"The market is more optimistic that they will win, and we... will tie at best."
"Are the two formats not compatible?" Song Ya asked.
"There is certainly no problem technically, but the next generation of audio-visual media standards is accompanied by a huge market. The two sides are fighting to the death and death, and no one in this camp is allowed to betray. You know, DTS and Universal are closely related, and Universal is undoubtedly still It belongs to the Panasonic camp."
"I understand." Song Ya probably figured it out, "Then you came to me to think..."
"We need your help to endorse the SD format and DTS listing platform, just like you support those politicians."
The CFO replied frankly: "You are not only a popular star, you are also the inventor of the famous saying "Pig on the Wind" in the investment circle. Maybe now everyone needs to rely on your luck."
"No problem, our common business."
Song Ya agreed, "You can discuss the specific schedule and statement with Dile and Linda. As long as I have time, I will try my best."
"Okay, thank you Mr. APLUS."
The CFO was happy to leave with Dile.
"What do you think? Alicia." Song Ya saw Alicia deliberately stayed alone, knowing she had something to say.
"I?"
Alicia smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know much about this. I only focus on the legal work of A+ Audio, guarding your related interests after the listing of DTS. APLUS, uh, your record company... intends to change Is it an agency law firm?" Alicia asked suddenly.
It's really blunt, greedy, really think I gave you the legal business of A+ audio because of your good service? "Not yet, I am very satisfied with the services of Goodman and Hamlin Law Firm." Song Ya refused.
"So..."
She got up disappointed, "Then I won't bother you, I must consider my law firm if I have a chance, goodbye?"
"Yes, goodbye."
Song Ya shook hands with her and watched Nunu's mouth, the graceful back of the beautiful mature woman who turned and left~www.mtlnovel.com~ suppressed the urge to whistle.
"Jim Clark."
Linda walked into the office with her mobile phone.
"Hey, APLUS, I decided to list Netscape operations this year. When that happens, you will help us to make frequent appearances to meet investors and brokerage representatives." Netscape owner Jim Clark changed his former coldness and was very affectionate. Said loudly.
"No, go public?"
Song Ya was stunned. It’s no wonder that Jim Clark replied that DTS is as slow as a snail, and the pace of listing is too fast. "If I understand correctly, where is Netscape’s profit direction now? Didn't you find it? What story can we tell investors?"
"The story depends on the level of the storyteller. Netscape browser will be a professional version, which will be sold at a price like software, so there will be profits?" Jim Clark replied.
"But the current trend in the Internet industry is free and free to share..."
"The story is not necessarily based on facts. Regardless of the ethos, our advantage is market share. Everyone is using our browser, so we can make a lot of money through this advantage, right?" Jim Clark laughed.
"What big money? For example?"
"For example, we can allow users to directly access our browser client, and they can use various software services such as Office without operating systems such as Windows and UINX. Think about it. What level of software is Windows and Office? What's the market value? Huh?"
"Bypass windows? Will Microsoft be happy to see you?" Song Ya was startled.
"I don't care about Bill Gates, but we have our story." Jim Clark replied.

Song Ya hung up the phone and happily circled in the boss chair.
"Hi, boss..."
Former assistant Taraji appeared at the door with a coquettish twist, "Do you have time now?"
"Hey, Taraji, just come in directly! Don't be so indifferent..."
Song Ya happily waved, "Why are you back in Chicago? Didn't you find a chance in Los Angeles?"
"Yes, it's a lot harder for a black woman to run alone in Hollywood than I expected."
Taraji said frustrated words, but the corners of his mouth rose unknowingly, "I'm not pretty enough for Halle..."
is not enough...Human Halle is the top half-breed beauty, okay?
Song Ya murmured silently in his heart, and said, "Opportunities will happen. Don't complain pretendingly with me. I think you are in a good mood. Have you got the role?"
"Yes."
She stopped pretending, and sat opposite happily, "I got the main role of a certain episode in the emergency room story project."
"Oh, I know, it's the target patient for each session, right?"
In medical dramas like the U.S., the resident actors are mostly hospital employees, but it is impossible for patients to use old faces, and because they are the target of treatment, there is a lot of time and lines in the single episode.
