Chicago 1990

"96 is very important for a+ audio."

At the end of this year, Song Ya did not gather all of his senior executives into a conference room. He felt that it would be better to meet separately, so as to save everyone from wasting time arguing at the meeting like last year. Besides, there is no need for every executive to know. Own other businesses.

1996 was the last year before Dile received the 15% equity incentive. After Yeremov left, Song Ya called him the next day.

Dile, who has previously obtained 5% of the incentive stock, still intends to maintain the old routine, expand as much as possible, and keep the profits within the a+ audio company.Therefore, in addition to continuing to invest in the American music website in 1996, he also intends to increase the market share of the a+ synthetic audio copyright library again, directly rushing to more than 10% through an acquisition.

The profitability of the Synthetic Music copyright library is stable but cannot support his ambitions. The land and small office buildings stocked in Silicon Valley by the American Music website project are his main sources of financing. According to his 1996 plan, he will basically be The rest is mortgaged.

As for the shares of dts that have been listed, worth less than 5 million, Song Ya did not let him move, and he had no idea. That 3.2% of the shares had 5% of the voting rights, and one director. After dts went public, he was keen to participate in board meetings there.

In this way, the real plan in his heart is obvious. With the take-off of the Internet, he immediately used the American Music website to operate a+ audio for the overall listing after receiving the equity incentive in 1997 to maximize his personal interests.

This serves for Song Ya himself and the co-accountant of a+audio. Samuel of Yongdao Firm has long been aware of the clues and gave an early warning. O'Grady of Northern Trust also reminded privately that Dile should have guessed too. Come out and know his abacus very well.

Now the two have maintained this tacit understanding by relying on their friendship and their determination to keep their promises.

Of course, I can’t help but want to be more greedy. Alicia is responsible for the legal affairs of a+ audio. Hey, wait a few days for Peter’s inauguration ceremony to end...

Ok?Song Ya shook his head wherever he wanted to go.

"Yes, it's very important." Dile did not take the initiative to poke the window paper, but he would not deliberately conceal it. He followed the verbal suggestion of his old friend and boss. "This year, Internet companies have doubled their share prices as long as they can go public. Go up."

"Well, sister nine."

At the end of the year, two more Internet companies were successfully listed. The market name was changed from Seven Sisters to Nine Sisters in 1995.

"It's a pity, have you heard? Our next door yahoo will also be listed next year, in March." Dile said.

"So fast? I thought I would at least wait until the end of next year."

Yahoo quietly climbed the search engine market share to the top three. Now this type of website is more touted by the market than music websites. One of the founders of yahoo is still of Chinese origin. He missed the early investment opportunity, and Song Ya has not found it. Regret for money.

"I feel that the characteristic of the Internet industry is fast, everything is fast, and changes are fast."

Dile also sighed for a while, "So next year I will follow the trend and upgrade the Amerika Music website every three months. I may not have time to tour abroad with you. How did you sign the new contract with Anshuz?"

"Currently there are six games in Central and South America, one in Spain and one in Portugal, depending on the situation, as the first half of my'full score' global tour." Song Ya replied.

"Wow, a trip to Latin America?" Dile laughed.

"Yes."

Thanks to the saliva love song aiseeutepego, South Americans gradually fell in love with the two mambono.5 and angelina in the second college. Song Ya knows it himself, the publisher Sony Columbia Records knows it, and the Anshuz performing arts department also knows it. He became more and more famous over there.Due to the proliferation of piracy in Latin America, the popularity of songs may not necessarily translate into sales of genuine records. Therefore, taking advantage of the popularity of the past, opening concerts and receiving advertisements to exchange the popularity for real money is more practical.

This is also good for him to help fight for the 98 World Cup theme song through the fifa powerful South America.

"Next year we will try to sell our t-shirts and vodka to South America."

After sending Dile away, he met again with Scott, the president of a+ apparel, and Riise, the president of a+ wine, a+ pedal company.

"Capacity."

Riise is not too cold. “The Grey Goose Vodka is not enough to sell in Northern Rice now. A bottle of more than a dozen dollars is twice as expensive as ordinary vodka. Is the consumption power of South Americans enough? We are taking the high-end route very well.”

"Anyway, put up the framework of your South American branch first, and I will be even more popular over there next year."

In the general direction, Song Ya cannot be betrayed: "Anyway, the sparkling wine project has been suspended, and the second phase of vodka expansion has been stepped up. As usual, Scout, you can take the profit of a+ apparel and the local winery The shares of the company will be exchanged once again, and you can negotiate the specific operation, just today."

"Oh my God."

Scout unsurprisingly exploded his hair, "here again?"

"Now I'm in a different situation, Scout, you don't want to get last year's price." Riiser smirked at him triumphantly.

"Fxxkyou!" Scout pointed his middle finger up, "You might as well go back and eat yourself."

"You eat yourself!"

"You eat yourself!"

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel with me, ok? You two are not three-year-olds." Song Ya has already foreseen this scene, "Scott, next year you will slow down the expansion momentum, your new official store I don’t think it’s time for T-shirts to differentiate between T-shirts. This year, the traditional cheap clothing giants have all started to benchmark our product lines. The price, quality and design are similar. You have to compare with Sears The huge loss counters that cooperated stopped, and the money saved was spent on the South American branch..."

"Sears is just a little bit difficult this year. We have to work with our partners to tide over the difficulties. They helped us in the early days of the a+ apparel business. They are still Chicago local giants, my old club..." Scott was reluctant. "We can't turn our faces and deny people so quickly."

"Business is business, ok?"

Song Ya persuaded: "I have read your report. The operating cost of our counter in Sears is several times that of other supermarkets. Their department store model is not suitable for this era."

Grey Goose Vodka was released in October along with the 21 album, and it has only been more than two months today. A+ wine industry is still too early to make a profit, but a+ clothing has gradually become the most stable cash cow in its industrial business. Song Ya wants to expand aggressively. It's not that he doesn't want to be bigger, but he has to stagger the rhythm and develop steadily in conjunction with the industries under his hands.

As the business grew bigger and bigger, he obviously felt that he was getting more and more tired from competing with his senior managers. After wasting a lot of time and saliva, Scout finally accepted the boss’s opinion reluctantly, “What will happen next year? If we don’t do it, we need to shrink strategically? Then how will the profit of a+ apparel be distributed this year?"

"If you keep a portion of the cash in the company's account, you and other executives will also receive a generous bonus, and then pay dividends to shareholders. I have arranged for Goodman to talk to you about the details. He is in the study."

"Ok."

Song Ya threatened profits and finally unified his thoughts with the executives of two traditional industry companies.

Soon he met Gordon of a+cn again, along with O'Grady of the other two shareholders of a+cn, Northern Trust, and people from Comcast.

"Because the two parties agreed to determine the channel resources based on the ratings of a+cn, I want to wait for the 20-hour news channel to officially operate independently, the channel will be relatively backward, er, very backward..."

Comcast’s strategic direction has been adjusted to the infrastructure construction of the Internet and telecommunications industry. A+cn itself is not very competitive. At present, a+cn produces about nine hours of programs every day, scattered among the three free channels of Comcast. Comcast actually had greater expectations for this black news station than Songya. The boss, Roberts Jr., personally decided and attended the signing ceremony in person, hoping that it could become a black cuu and a veteran black station. After the pilot broadcast for more than two months, almost no one would think so.

The people they sent here are lower than before, and much younger. "If there is no accident, you probably can only choose one from 7.5 to 99, Mr. Aplus?"

"Is it okay to choose TV 88? Then choose this one. It will bring me good luck." For Song Ya, there is only one channel choice in this range. "Fortunately, it didn't fall to three digits." He was happy. Make fun of Gordon.

Gordon squeezed a smile to respond to the boss. He didn't even think about why 88 units would have good luck. He was depressed. This was in stark contrast to his high spirits when he just left bet.

"Don't be like Gordon, you haven't brought out the full 24-hour news channel yet. I believe you can do it. You also said that TV station is a long-term business, right?" What else can you do as a boss?Song Ya smiled and cheered.

"This is the promotion plan after the official launch of next year." Comcast people submitted a new document, in addition to the normal operation of mailing paper advertisements to potential subscribers through their channels, there are also such as cutting You can get a free one-year subscription if you mail back related newspaper advertisements, and you can get a total of 10 million yuan through linkage promotion with other stations.

The parent company of a+cn, a+ copyright and asset management company, will allocate 7.1 million yuan in proportion, and the remaining 2.9 million will be borne by Northern Trust and Comcast. In addition, there is also the need to expand the program content. The three new investment must be paid in proportion.

The good news is that according to Gordon’s ratings, he will certainly not be able to get the top five million annual salary, and the three can save a small amount of money.

After picking up the little money from Sesame Lost Watermelon, no matter which one is willing to see the number of subscribers soaring, Gordon's salary is nothing.

"We will only follow up for another year, if the number of subscribers is still not as expected..."

Song Ya himself was inconvenient to give an ultimatum to Gordon, and O'Grady of the Northern Trust had quietly negotiated before the meeting and came forward to be the bad guy.

"I know, I won't fail."

Alicia is not free yet. The contract document negotiated today will be signed at the beginning of next year with the relevant documents of the inner city broadcasting company in charge of her law firm. Gordon stood up and laughed: "? I will build it. To be the best news station, I swear."
