After a hard exam week, Song Ya left a whole day before going to New York to deal with A+ records.

Ross's speech in the technology media basically did not go out of the circle, but this kind of thing does not need to go out of the circle. The Fliggy APLUS himself was used by 3DFX with a "small trick" to flicker the story of anxiously getting angry and rushing to invest 5 million in IT. And the investment circle has been fermented, and everyone has confirmed that this is a lucky pig, and it is only lucky. Now it seems that good luck is running out.

A large number of startup projects in the Internet industry have started to come to the door to seek investment. It feels like this pig is not pitted or pitted, and it makes him more angry than Daniel's antitrust lawsuit.

"Jim..."

While signing a document, he talked to Jim Clark on the phone, “I’m fine, 3DFX can still make products. Next year, I will force them to make a complete chip design in the first half of next year... Yes, I can Understand you, after all, no one dared to pack tickets at that time. They were just cheating. You didn’t have the obligation to clarify the guesswork to me... No, I am not angry. I will not be angry if all this little money is thrown into the water... , I will be there when Netscape goes public, no problem."

Putting down the microphone, he cursed at the landline, "Fxxk! Old fox! Why didn't you say that you were suspicious of them beforehand!? I asked you why you didn't have any money when you didn't vote for 3DFX? Huh? Will the founder of SGI? money!?"

Angry!

At this time, he saw an A+ record depreciation report of the fixed assets last year in his hand, which included the CD burning equipment that had only been bought for a few years as the obsolete office supplies, so he became even more angry, "Linda! Come in!"

"What's the matter with this AMAHA recording device? I bought it for more than 30,000 dollars, and now I am throwing it into the warehouse to eat ashes!?" He questioned, shaking the file.

"Uh, yes, we now have other options."

Linda called in A+ Records production director Dieng Wilson to help her explain, "We purchased Philips CD-R recorders this year, which are smaller, faster, and easier to use, and only cost a thousand dollars." Dion Wilson called in a technician to answer.

"Can equipment with more than 1,000 knives replace more than 30,000 knives?"

Song Ya didn't believe it, "Take me to see."

A group of people entered the warehouse, and the technician said to a cabinet the size of a washing machine: "This is AMAHA, a product from the early nineties."

"This is a new recorder that Philips just launched this year." The technician pointed to a black box half the size of a VCD player. "The technology is much better than the former. Let me demonstrate it."

Song Ya had to quietly watch the demonstration comparison. Sure enough, the AMAHA "washing machine" was still squeaking when the recording of the Philips machine was completed. There was no obvious difference in the sound quality of the CD discs burned by the two. According to the technician, Philips The chance of scraping a disc is even lower.

"Is it technological progress? APLUS."

Dion Wilson sighed: "The speed of the replacement of electronic products has always amazed us musicians. I also heard that even a complete set of the highest-level industrial CD recording assembly line can now be completed with only millions of dollars."

"Isn't that pirated CDs will also have a big development?"

Song Ya thought of something worse, "This is not good news for the recording industry."

"Yes, I heard that many criminals in Asia bought complete sets of equipment and hid them in small mountain villages. As long as there is no problem with the power supply, a steady stream of pirated CDs and VCD discs will flow into the market. The cost of each is extremely low. The price must not be much higher."

Linda replied: "The film industry can't escape either."

"Oh! Forget it, so be it."

Song Ya knew that he could not influence this. Electronic giants such as Sony, Philips, and Panasonic were not stupid. They lost money in the record industry, and there must be a means to make money back on other electronic devices. He signed the word and agreed to AMAHA' The washing machine was thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes.

"The good news is that in the future there will be larger capacity SD or DVDs that can be used as carriers. New technologies will inevitably be difficult to piracy. At least in developed countries where copyright protection is well done, our records can still sell."

Linda said that the boss was a little frustrated and relieved.

"In the future, it is estimated that only top singers or hot records will drive sales. Even if the audience in developed countries is mediocre to small and medium singers, or is not a favorite, just buy pirated discs and forget it. It doesn't hurt to throw it in the corner and eat ashes."

A woman at the door added that Song Ya turned around and it turned out that it was Fergie's agent Pai Kingsley. Her judgment made sense, but it was still bad news for the recording industry as a whole.

"This year Fergie is about to start making a second master."

The two returned to the office, and sent Kingsley to the point. "She said you have promised to write her a song yourself?"

"Yes, I promised. I have asked Deion Wilson and William Adams to help her build a new professional this year. I have done everything that should be done."

Song Ya replied: "Moreover, in one of the top singles in my second college, she will also have the status of Feat."

"Would it be convenient for me to see the score for that song?" Pakinsley asked.

"I haven't written it yet, where did the score come from."

Song Ya didn't have a good voice, and he hadn't revealed anything suitable for Fergie to sing. "You don't rush me, will you talk about it when my wedding is over? I've been going crazy recently."

"Ok."

Pai Kingsley nodded, "I will also take other artists under my banner to New York to join in."

"Pretty soup?" Song Ya felt happy again. Among his artists, there are the hottest Hollywood male stars.

"The soup won’t go, he’s not in the mood, you know, Oscar didn’t think about him at all. We were so miserable by David Geffen that we had a dramatic breakthrough in our image and we only exchanged it for a movie that was barely successful at the box office. , The production cost is nearly 70 million, 100 million in northern meters, and 220 million globally, but the cost of publicity is extremely high."

Paikinsley complained, "Now Liang Tang is suspected by the tabloids to be GA because of the performance in the movie. Obviously he has been married to Nicole."

While chatting, the two determined Fergie's release budget and plan for this year's album. Such a strong agent of CAA will naturally compare Fergie's interests, and Song Ya can only fight her one by one.

The albums of On and William Adams were cold last year. This year it’s my turn to post with Fergie. A+ Records’ 95 project also includes Dion Wilson. The production director has also prepared some songs for himself in recent years. I plan to release a rap album this year, both in the second half of the year.

So Song Ya wanted to make a surprise decision before the wedding.

"Ms. Kingsley, it just so happens that you are there."

When it was almost agreed, Hayden hurriedly pushed the door in and turned on the TV, while comforting Song Ya, who was wide-eyed, "rest assured, boss, this time it has nothing to do with us."

Speaking of the soup, the TV screen shows the soup with his wife Nicole Kidman in his arms and talking into the microphone, "Actually, for me, starring in the project of a night interview with a vampire is a tortured process. We After shooting for six months, I have to try some breakthrough performances and interpersonal relationships. This is completely different from my personal values. To some extent, all of this is terrible..."

"Damn it."

Pai Kingsley cursed, "He started talking nonsense when I was not around. I really don't know when this big boy will really mature."

She got up anxiously and said goodbye, "I'm sorry, APLUS, I have to rush back to Los Angeles to put out the fire. Liangtang made this statement because he was impatient by the tabloids. He told David Geffenra when we visited the vampire project at night. I also have grievances about Oscar’s pledge. David Geffen did not do what he promised us, so the soup will explode right now... But Mr. David Geffen would definitely not think so. He should be very angry now, this year. Interview with Vampires suffered a setback during the Oscar nomination stage, and now they have to be complained by the actors..."

"I understand, goodbye, Ms. Kingsley, I won't send you off."
