Chapter 1475 God of Investment

"I won't go after signing the contract, you go."

Nobuyuki Idei called Howard Stringer that night, calling it a consultation, but actually a notification. Howard Stringer was very angry. He suppressed his anger and told Idei his interests. Idei expressed his understanding and patiently explained his motives for doing so.

Then ask to execute the command.

Howard Stringer had no choice, he couldn't support the company's business and the headquarters, and Sony's director himself turned his face, so he had to ask the president of Sony Columbia Records to take charge of the signing of Beats.

"Why!"

When the old subordinate left the office, he rested his forehead and sighed wearily.

Idei didn't do what he promised in the previous deal to help him succeed as CEO, which is already very irritating. With Ken Kutaragi's game console faction taking power, the prospect of an entertainment empire that spans film and record publishing and other businesses in his hands has also become irritating. At stake...

Idei is still using Dong Zao's power to suppress people, under the pretext that the music licensing business is just a trivial matter, he is extremely solemn to himself before, and asks for a unified caliber to reject aplus, please pretend to be stupid haha.

What's the point of being treated like this by your boss and backstage?

For a while, he had the idea of ​​simply resigning.

No! no no no...

Leaving at this precarious juncture of Sony, he himself is Amelio No. 2, and he will be labeled as "the most incompetent" and "loser" at that time, and his future professional reputation will be over.

And why should I leave! ? Not only do not go, but continue to fight!

What a little setback!

There is a natural competitive relationship with Ken Kutaragi's game console faction, so the alliance with Idei must continue to be maintained!

Howard Stringer knew it, and Idei was sure of it.

Idei's change of mind is understandable this time, after all, aplus paid 500 million dollars to get the authorization.

No matter how much you hate that nger, everyone has to respect his money right now.

That's 500 million knives...

cash!

There is no way out of the well,

This time the choice is justifiable...

After the big turmoil, the sales situation of the convertible bonds that Sony was forced to launch was not optimistic. Except for the company’s financial department, all leaders were required to keep a low profile to attract people and institutions to subscribe, and tried every means to find money to continue the company’s life.

For example, I also found Citigroup and Chase...

Until now, there are only a little more than three months before the issuance of convertible bonds, and the subscription intention may be far from the target figure of 2.5 billion knives.

Idei got the 500 million of Aplus, one-fifth of which was settled at once, which is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for him who just lost the CEO throne and surrendered the chairman's seat.

And the price is only to sell the online authorization of the music copyright library?

For Idei, this is simply a worthless business! If it were me and put myself in the shoes, I would probably agree to aplus.

pity!

My original plan was to use this convertible bond to introduce Citigroup and Chase to Sony after I took office as CEO, and then use the backing of US capital to turn against Idei, my ally, and drive him out of office to replace him...

What a pity!

"Thenger really spent a lot of money..."

Howard Stringer was lying on the boss chair and muttering to himself.

Either way, aplus invested the 500 million dollars in cash that it just got from yahoo into Sony, which is better than not firing the bullet.

He can only comfort himself in this way.

Idei still believed in himself, and apart from the 500 million convertible bonds, he also revealed to himself without reservation the MJ card that was thrown out suddenly during the aplus secret meeting and the chips involving Universal Music.

But from now on, I'm afraid that the personal relationship between Idei and Aplus will be greatly improved.

Howard Stringer has the feeling of a backyard fire.

That nger is so fucking rich!

In today's record industry, apart from Disney and Sony Columbia, they are all frantically ogles and begs for support from Ge, especially Universal, which owns the American TV network that Ge is determined to win.

As for Tangtangge, under the current market sentiment, it is difficult to find a joint ally who is willing and able to share the cost of acquiring the Universal System...

ge is also counting on aplus now!

Everyone in the Universal Department, even the Bronfman family who had old grievances, was looking at the aplus that was waving a checkbook and was up for grabs!

Selling out the titular duo's former ally Sony Columbia Records? There is no psychological burden at all!

With the help of Amelio and other top veterans in shopping malls, aplus has indeed become more sophisticated in its methods. This move must have been done by Amelio, who went to Tokyo with him!

There will be no one else!

Although Amelio was smeared by Jobs as the most incompetent CEO in history, how could he be the CEO of Apple back then without two brushes in his hand? !

Less than 30 years old, the tens of billionaires whose team has been formed day by day...

You can't compete with it!

Howard Stringer became dizzy and became more discouraged as he thought about it, and hated MJ more and more. If MJ hadn't smeared himself at a critical moment, the CEO of Sony would not be Ken Kutaragi, but himself...

The current situation will be completely different!

Damn it!

Thinking of this, he picked up the microphone of the landline, aplus is too hard, first pinch the soft persimmon of mj, and clear the door!

"Harvey, it's me."

First clean up the door, and then slowly map it to Aplus, because of the shooting case that year, Aplus is always a serious concern.

Aplus is not necessarily still unaware, at least the action of running to Tokyo to get his backstage out of the well is very suspicious.

On this point, he is very alert and has a clear understanding.

"I'm back! Amy?"

After successfully completing the task, Song Ya, who had returned from Tokyo after a long journey, walked into Amy's house, "Amy!?"

He came back this time without prior notice, and he wanted to surprise Amy.

"Ahhh!"

Amy screamed happily when she heard his voice, ran out like a deer, jumped up, hung on her boyfriend like a koala, and kissed her passionately.

"Ha ha!"

The smile swept away Song Ya's fatigue in an instant. He turned 360 degrees with his girlfriend in his arms, and then saw Shakira who was holding the threshold...

So he laughed and walked straight over, holding each other in Shakira's jealous and half-pushed body language, the two hot moms were not serious, affectionate kisses left and right, walking like dragons and tigers, straight to the gentle town .

'beats revealed that the development of their music store has reached the final sprint stage, and the launch of the second-generation beats mp3 walkman will be held as scheduled next month. Prior to this, they have successively obtained all the online authorizations of the six major record copyright libraries, and will roll out about ten palm/beats direct-sale stores in major cities in Beimi at one time. '

'Apple announced that it will release the windows version of itunes music store next month...'

In September 2003, with the signing of licensing contracts with Universal Music Sony Columbia Records, the last obstacle to the beats music store disappeared. Time to make up for this mistake.

Jobs' arrogance gave beats just half a year to catch up.

At this time, Song Ya went to Jenny's house in Boston. His main purpose of this trip was to visit the headquarters of GE in this city, to formally inform the other party that he did not participate in the decision to acquire the Universal Department, and to personally apologize to the chairman and CEO Immelt. By the way, I will pick up my son Ramsay, Jenny and her ex-husband's son Kay back to Chicago, because Jenny will go abroad for a while to film the exterior scenes of Warner's blockbuster Sahara.

Although it took a while longer, it was a normal business decision after all, and Immelt also graciously expressed his understanding, at least superficially friendly.

As for playing around the world again...

Anyway, the goal of licensing songs from the music store has been achieved, so let's play it.

Moreover, Doug Morris, the president of Universal Music, has a tacit understanding with Benfang. In order to save the future, he can't make troubles for no reason.

"Gordon and the others are here."

Jenny walked into the study and reminded the man who was meditating on his chin in front of the TV.

Song Ya glanced at the time, Gordon would not bring Quincy Jones to Jenny with a big mouth, the three old men went to the nearby Houghton Mifflin president's house to wait for themselves, "Then let's go."

"You go first, and I'll go there before the dinner begins."

Jenny was busy packing the two children's things. The assistant outside was directing the servants to carry the boxes of luggage that she was going to take abroad to the car tomorrow. The location was in the desert, and she had a lot of things to bring.

"I'm too lazy to eat with them."

It may be to seek the support of the same-ethnic Congressman Gordon on the R Kelly case. Quincy Jones and Jesse Jackson also came to Boston. Their own Boeing 757 was too big. Quincy Jones happened to be caught by Quincy Jones who also had a private jet at the airport bumped into.

The big mouth really encouraged Gordon and Jesse Jackson to come over.

Song Ya was rather upset about their unplanned visit, "Let's go, sit for half an hour and we'll be back."

"All right."

When he and Jenny arrived there, the president of Houghton Mifflin was showing the guests around the house, "It's so beautiful, this house must be hundreds of years old, right?" Quincy Jones praised in a drawn-out black accent.

"Gordon."

Song Ya deliberately treated Quincy Jones coldly, "Welcome back to your own constituency, Mr. Congressman." He put on a smile, strode towards Gordon, and shook hands with everyone warmly.

"Hello……"

When it was Quincy Jones' turn, his face changed into an indifferent face, and his hands were ready to part.

"Aplus, I know you're busy, but r Kelly might be in big trouble next month's trial, so we came here."

After exchanging pleasantries, Jesse Jackson apologized to the owner and Jenny, dragged Song Ya to the outside lawn, and then cut straight to the point.

"Can I help?" Of course Song Ya didn't want to help, she just said so, as a face for Gordon.

"Is such that……"

Gordon's old problem is that he will be hot-headed and rash when he encounters ethnic issues. He also knows that he will be unhappy when he brings Jesse Jackson and Quincy Jones here, so he starts to make a statement with an apologetic expression.

"Jenny, I heard that you are coming back to Hollywood?"

Quincy Jones was very angry at being deliberately belittled, but he had long since dared not stab the black pharaoh, and stayed in the room embarrassingly.

"Yes, Sahara, I'm going abroad to shoot location tomorrow." Jenny replied.

"The one directed by Eisner's eldest son? I heard it was a bit ill-fated."

"Well, because of September 11th, the location in the Middle East was canceled, and then the team disbanded. This is a restart project."

Sahara has been turned on a long time ago, and the director and heroine at that time have been replaced.

"Who is the hero?"

"Matthew McConaughey."

"Wow, I thought it was James Caviezel. He was a good match for you in Cold Mountain. Where has he been recently? It seems to have disappeared from the world."

"He's been doing Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, and he's been in the group for almost a year."

It was difficult for the baby girl to take the position, and Quincy Jones had nothing to say to chat with Jenny. Song Ya also probably understood Gordon and Jesse Jackson, mainly Jesse Jackson's intentions.

"That is to say, are you worried that the Cook County State Prosecutor has obtained other important evidence of r Kelly?" He asked strangely: "There is nothing to worry about, right? Shouldn't the evidence have been submitted in advance?"

"Yes, the lawyers said that the Cook County State Attorney did not submit the evidence we were most worried about, and we think this is Alicia showing goodwill."

Jesse Jackson replied: "Because this matter needs to be kept confidential, we hope to achieve a certain tacit understanding with Alicia State Attorney through someone who can be trusted 100%. It is best for everyone to end this matter at the trial next month."

"The timing is good. MJ's case just started right after. Public opinion will not focus on R Kelly's case for too long."

Gordon added, "We're not asking you to take a public stand, just to help the middleman through personal contacts."

I am Alicia's big sponsor and her relationship with her governor's ex-husband. People in the political circle like Gordon and Jesse Jackson are well-known, so Song Ya tried not to go back to her hometown to get involved during this time.

"You have been in Chicago for so many years, and you know Alicia very well, don't you?"

Song Ya frowned, "Remember? I told you before that coming to me for this kind of thing is the last option."

"Alicia is very wary of us African-Americans now, and we can't trust others." Gordon said shyly: "Ms. Sloan hates Kelly. Maybe you don't know. After the existence of the evidence, he quit the legal team in anger."

It would be hell to get the favor of women for what Kelly committed. "What is the evidence?" Song Ya asked strangely.

Gordon and Jesse Jackson exchanged glances, "Some other videotapes." Gordon revealed cryptically.

"Wow, that kind of thing will be taken by the prosecution?"

Really careless, Song Ya rolled her eyes, "In other words, do you think that the Cook County prosecutor got the video tape but was detained by Alicia? This means that Alicia is hinting to you, and she doesn't want to If there is another problem, expect to close the case at the trial next month?"

"Yes, it's good for Alicia's political future."

Jesse Jackson nodded: "Her approval rating among African-Americans has dropped sharply recently, and she must stop the loss in time, otherwise she will not be re-elected."

Wasn't it being tossed by you? Alicia is now in a very embarrassing situation. On the one hand, Kelly has won many female supporters across the country for her by personally standing on the prosecution bench. Not gaining enough reputation to run for more important office.

On the other hand, because the victim and the relatives of the victim were bought and gave up testifying before the last trial, Alicia subsequently suffered a backlash from her inability to beat Kelly to death. The basic setbacks have been severe, and the more entangled she is, the farther away she will be from her next re-election victory.

Don't forget that there is the Daly dynasty who is eyeing her state attorney's position in Chicago next to her. It is understandable for Alicia to choose to stop losses in time.

"Okay, I'll have a chat with Alicia when I get back to Chicago."

Although Alicia was a little 'disobedient' after being elected, in any case, Song Ya didn't want to see her fail in re-election, and the position of Cook County State Attorney was replaced by someone from the Daly Dynasty.

"Okay, by the way, help us apologize to her. As long as R Kelly's matter is resolved, we will help her repair the relationship with voters. The re-election campaign is still early, and there is enough time."

The black pharaoh nodded, and Gordon and Jesse Jackson were overjoyed, "By the way, don't tell her about the video tape."

"Don't worry... Seriously, R Kelly is a scumbag."

Song Ya waved her hands in disgust, and didn't want to talk about this matter again, "That's it, I still have something to do...Jenny!"

Watching the black pharaoh who came for a round and then disappeared, the gentleman helped Janila to open the door. Quincy Jones felt distressed when he thought of his precious children, "This ruthless little nger..."

She knew that Jenny lived nearby. Judging from the neighborhoods she passed by and observed when she came here, Jenny's house was probably similar to President Houghton Mifflin's, and it was worth at least a few million.

Jenny is now holding the title of senior consultant and director of the president of Houghton Mifflin's branch. Not long ago, she also participated in the best-selling memoir of the former talk show king Johnny Carson, and returned to Hollywood to accept Warner's billion-dollar production Mistress...

After returning to Tokyo, Rashida resumed her work as the host of the street dance competition column, which has become less and less influential. Signing bonus for big bloggers from Pharaoh's blog site.

He remembered that Rashida complained that the website spent on poaching Paris Hilton and other popular celebrities to settle in, which far exceeded the little money paid to the original big blogger who accompanied him all the way to the present.

Even if you don't plan to marry her, it's better to give her more money and opportunities!

Really!

Hundreds of millions is not a small amount of money for the black pharaoh!

Quincy Jones complained indignantly.

"He's not heartless, is he?"

The r Kelly case is settled. Gordon and Jesse Jackson are in a good mood. For the current black pharaoh, if he personally agrees, it means that it is settled. Continue to receive generous donations.

"Money has helped him solve too many problems. If he has no money and power, he is essentially no different from those ruthless scumbags." Quincy Jones said.

"hehe……"

Gordon and Jesse Jackson smiled at each other and gave up arguing. They knew about Quincy's feud with the Black Pharaoh in his early years and the ambiguous relationship between Quincy's youngest daughter and the Black Pharaoh, so they could understand the old man's depression.

Jesse Jackson knows a little bit more. For example, Quincy’s ex-girlfriend Natasha Kinski should have climbed into the bed of Black Pharaoh, so in his early forties, he can still get Warner’s blockbuster Catwoman in Hollywood. Such a good role as the second female lead.

Quincy may be the only one in all of Hollywood who is hiding this from Quincy.

"But he's richer."

President Houghton Mifflin handed the three of them a fax paper that was still warm.

"Fujibe Magazine's 2003 Global Rich List was released, and Aplus quickly jumped to the 16th place with a net worth of 11.5 billion, surpassing Microsoft CEO Ballmer's 11.1 billion in one fell swoop..."

Quincy Jones' pupils dilated as he stared at this number, and a gust of sour water flowed directly into his throat.

'The world's first person under the age of 30! Alexander 'aplus' Song, who is of oriental descent, has a net worth of 11.5 billion! The undisputed investment god! '

At the same time, there is naturally Howard Stringer who is sour. What he has in his hand is the report of the media in his hand. There are countless exclamation points throughout the article, which is crazily touted, and...

He turned to the cover of the magazine, which was still an affiliated media of Sony, and the accompanying picture was a handshake photo of Nobuyuki Idei when Aplus visited before.

Nobuyuki Idei is obviously turning around because of the 500 million convertible bonds. In the text, what is "Mi-Japan Friendship Ambassador" "The Black Dragon of the Mi Empire" "Enemy and friend, a respectable opponent and partner" "From the entertainment industry to the Internet industry , the god of investment cross-border wealth life "he changed the world" and other nasty words can be picked up.

"vomit!"

Howard Stringer felt physically uncomfortable after reading it, and simply tore the magazine in half.

"The increase in his net worth is mainly due to the merger of Goto by Yahoo, the merger of Handspring and Palm, the income from traditional businesses such as movies and records, and the rise of 3dfx Litman and Chinese listed companies following the recovery of the Internet technology sector..."

Wall Street, the headquarters of the No. 1 investment bank in New Jersey, Anderson Eisner is sitting in the boss chair in his deputy general manager's office, talking to his father. Not long after he graduated from Harvard Business School, he has turned into a Wall Street elite and has achieved outstanding results.

"Aplus is only a few years older than you..."

The Disney emperor who came to see his youngest son couldn't see his rampant behavior, so he poured cold water on him.

Other people's children are not immune to the Tian family. Anderson couldn't listen to his father's scolding the most, and his face collapsed instantly, "I can't do a bad job. If I had the first pot of gold that aplus earned from the record industry when I was a teenager That level of start-up capital..."

The three brothers also have a competitive mentality. The father provided a lot of start-up financial support to the rebellious second brother who entered the Internet industry to start a website. This is a thorn in Anderson who has been forced to study hard on campus.

Knowing a son is like a father, and Eisner also knew what the younger son was actually complaining about, so he fell into silence for some reason.

"Anderson, Mr. Eisner."

At this time, the two top managers of the bank, Amelio and Dr. Chen knocked on the door and came in, "Sorry, we are late, let's go?"

"Amelioja, thank you for taking care of Anders."

Eisner cheerfully hugged his old acquaintance Amelio, and shook hands with his youngest son's immediate supervisor, Dr. Chen, "Busy today?"

"Yes, it's a lot of work." Dr. Chen replied respectfully.

"Thank you, Mr. Amelio, Dr. Chen."

Today, Anders held a housewarming dinner at his new home in Manhattan. He took the small gifts from his two bosses, put on a suit jacket, and walked in the first place, "Let's go, let's go!"

When passing by the trading room outside, Eisner saw that almost all the workstations were occupied, and they were all working overtime to answer and make phone calls. It was a bustling scene.

"Because of Fujibi Magazine?" he asked casually.

"Yes." Neither Amelio nor Dr. Chen denied it, and kept smiling all the way in a good mood.

When Song Ya was shot in a coma in 1997, Song Ya had just been promoted to a billionaire, and her net worth had increased eleven times in six years, while Buffett's personal wealth had only increased from 15 billion to 30 billion in six years. In comparison... …

Who is the God of Investment?

That's an easy question to answer, isn't it?

So once Fujibi magazine’s rankings came out, all the phone calls of No. 1 Investment Bank were off the hook today, and countless investors and institutions frantically called to consult fund products, and it was too late to get on the bus.

"To be honest, I'm all on my own. I don't have a plus here. He and Dr. Chen don't care about or understand the real estate industry, and the fund I'm in charge of only invests in real estate."

The group soon arrived at Anders' new home. The father and son were talking privately while overlooking the view of Central Park in Manhattan from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Don't be too complacent."

Just after graduation, he has been working for three months, and his youngest son has been able to buy a high-rise apartment in the Central Park section without asking for a penny from himself. Wall Street has made a fortune so fast.

Eisner's displeasure must be false, and he couldn't hold back his smile. Of course, he still did not forget to teach, "I noticed that your attitude towards Dr. Chen is not very good, which is very bad."

"It's just that he has the advantage of aplus's cronies. He is not very capable, and the fund in charge has lost his pants." Anders glanced at Dr. Chen, who was socializing with people in the distance, and lowered his voice, "A lot of Apple stocks, now Okay, are you having fun?"

"Hehehe..."

Eisner knew that because Jobs was revealed by Fortune magazine to have pancreatic cancer a few days ago, Apple’s stock plummeted in response. Although he could guess that Aplus asked the investment bank to collect Apple’s stock for strategic considerations, it was a bit unlucky to say , No one can predict that Jobs has a big problem with his body.

In addition, he hated Jobs, who had cooperated with Ovitz to rebel against him, so he finally laughed out loud.

"We have a test to pass in November, you have to keep a low profile." He instructed again.

"Got it, got it. Come on, let me introduce you, Mark, Mark, this is my father."

Anders began to drag his father to socialize with friends he met in New York.

"Mark Epstein." The other party introduced himself, "I admire you very much, Mr. Eisner."

They were all from Jewish circles, "Your brother is..." Eisner was very impressed with a well-known businessman and broker with this surname.

"Yes, Jeffrey." Mark nodded, sure enough.

"Mark's company manages more than five hundred units in Manhattan." Anders bragged to his friends.

"I am definitely not suffering from cancer, I just suffer from endocrine tumors. Although this disease is relatively rare, it is actually not difficult to cure with the medical technology at that time."

At the same time, Jobs was very annoyed by Fortune magazine's revelations. He hurried to find Roseto of Wired magazine and asked this close friend in the technology media industry to help put out the fire, "Don't make any changes to this sentence."

"OK."

Roseto lowered his head and recorded with joy, "This news is simply great. You don't know how much everyone worried about you before, Steve."

The car they were riding in had just left the construction site of the Apple flagship store on the first floor of the GM Building. Jobs happened to see the door face of the same Fifth Avenue surrounded by the logo bezel of the two companies Palm/Beats. The opening date under the logo is below. months.

This is simply embarrassing himself. Jobs frowned. Fortunately, this small and stingy store is only about half the size of a normal store on Fifth Avenue, and according to information, there will be franchise plans in the future. It seems that it should be the same as those mobile phone manufacturers. The route of the specialty store is similar, and it does not pose too much threat to Apple's style.

"Oh, by the way, congratulations on returning to the list of the world's richest people." But Rosetto picked up which pot he didn't open.

Because Pixar animation was not listed, Fujibi only counted himself a net worth of 1.7 billion knives this year. If it was changed to the past, Jobs would not have taken a serious look at this kind of ranking list, but when he thought of aplus 115 million With a figure of 100 million dollars, it is also false to say that the mentality is not affected at all.

but……

He suddenly sneered slightly, some plans were already being implemented quietly, and he believed that there would be a big surprise for Aplus by then.
