American Fortune Life

Chapter 1707 Never do business at a loss

? Andy, who has been committed to developing the Chinese market, absolutely does not want to interrupt his plan to make money because of external factors.

However, American politics is like this. With gaming and lobbying, there is always no shortage of politicians who want to do things. They "receive money to do things", and this "receiving money" is legal.

And some things that can damage the relationship between the two countries are the last thing Andys who have many business and cooperation projects in China want to see.

Think about it, a business that costs hundreds of millions or billions of dollars at every turn, because if an idiot congressman gets into trouble, the capitalists will have the heart to kill.

It's like this in America, I don't care what you do, but TM's don't touch my NAI cheese!

No one wants to give up the big cake of the Celestial Market, and no one will give up. Even Jobs, who doesn't like the Celestial Dynasty very much, can't stop it.

The next morning, Andy looked at the company briefing sent by Apple's headquarters to the board members. He had to say that this step taken by Cook's Chinese strategy was undoubtedly the most critical step to achieve Apple's soaring performance.

Apple officially reached a cooperation agreement with Tianchao Connect. In the fourth quarter of 2009, China Connect introduced Love Crazy mobile phones. Celestial Connect bought out Apple's 5 million Love Crazy mobile phones with 10 billion RMB, with an average of 2,000 yuan per unit. As for the market price, then Completely adjusted by the connection itself. . .

As for how dark it is, tsk tsk, whoever buys it knows! The nickname of the kidney machine is enough to explain everything!

"Apple is Apple, without a fight, never compromise!"

Looking at the briefing, Jobs, who had not appeared for a long time, responded to Nokia's decision to sue Apple for infringing its patent rights and demanded payment of royalties. Andy's mouth rose and he smiled lightly.

In the matter of patents, which is troublesome and difficult to define, no one wants to retreat, but wants to gain the upper hand and have more say in the technology of the industry.

In terms of patents, Jobs, who had suffered from Microsoft's computer patent losses, said bluntly that he wanted to fight a hot war. This time, Jobs was unwilling to suffer losses in patents.

However, Andy is very clear that Nokia's patent dispute is just an "appetizer", and the real "dinner" is the dispute between Apple and Android.

As early as 2007, when Android first appeared, Jobs heard about it, but he didn't pay attention to it. Android and Apple also spent a long time in peace, but after Google teamed up with HTC to launch the first Google G1, the relationship between Apple and Android began to tense.

The reason why Steve Jobs was able to agree to Andy join the Apple board of directors, and want to pull Andy, a Google partner, into his chariot, is also one of the considerations, especially after Andy became the chairman of Qualcomm, some of Apple's technologies are dead. It has fallen into Andy's hands.

However, Andy is very clear that the patent war between Qualcomm and Apple is inevitable in the future, and he will not be a member of Apple's board of directors for a few years.

Andy turned off the laptop phone, pondered for a moment, picked up the phone and called Qualcomm CEO. After inquiring about the company's situation, he hung up the phone and left the study. After going downstairs, he saw on the outdoor platform of the villa, Adriana Lima, wearing a tight white sports vest and fitness pants, is doing maternity yoga under the guidance of a nurse.

Proper fitness exercises for pregnant women can not only improve the discomfort caused by many pregnancy periods, but also effectively control their weight and maintain a perfect body shape. The most important thing is to exercise properly without overdoing it.

I have to say that these fitness exercises are still very useful. Although Lima is a little fatter, a pair of long TUIs are still thin and straight, with slender limbs and a well-proportioned body.

"Dear, you practice first, I'm going to the company, and I'll be back for dinner at noon." Andy said after stepping over the floor-to-ceiling glass door that opened automatically, leaning over and kissing Lima, who was pretty and puffy.

"Well, let's go." Lima nodded with a smile.

Andy didn't hesitate. He walked out of the villa quickly and boarded the real helicopter parked on the flat lawn in the backyard of the villa. Soon the helicopter's propeller clacked, and the whirlwind caused the surrounding vegetation to bend down. .

Now, Andy is more willing to choose a helicopter, not only to keep his whereabouts secret, to get rid of the ubiquitous paparazzi's tracking, to make it more convenient and safe for him to steal incense and jade, the key is to be fast, really don't have to worry about traffic jams problem.

"Hehe, good guy!"

Andy, who was bored looking down at Los Angeles through the helicopter window, chuckled as he looked at the huge posters on several large billboards along the Los Angeles highway.

After flying all the way, Andy saw 10 large-scale outdoor billboards replaced by the English album promotion poster of BoA, the self-proclaimed "Britney of South Korea".

Looking at the huge black and white photo, Andy raised his eyebrows and smiled. How could he not know about Boer, the so-called originator of Hallyu, but at this moment, Boer is still the one who wants to break into the American music industry The Korean Xiaotian Queen, but Andy is no longer the ordinary person who needs to look up to YY stars.

From Coco Lee to Hikaru Utada in the early years, and the rain in South Korea who just made a lawsuit and became a joke, it seems that Asian singers have never stopped their ambitions and desires for the American and Western world music markets.

To be honest, it’s true to have ambitions and desires, but American money is really not that easy to earn. Even if it is replaced with English songs, Americans will only listen to it as a kind of exotic music, even if it can be a hit, It's only for a while.

After the helicopter landed and stopped on the apron on the roof of the Hulu Video Company Building, Andy got off the plane and saw a group of executives from Hulu Video who had already come up. He smiled and shook hands with his men. Cheers and encouragement.

It's not that Andy, the big boss, is simply trying to win people's hearts, but the group of executives in the HULU video really deserves Andy's serious praise, which is the main reason why he flew here on purpose.

Hulu became the second largest video site in the United States, after YouTube.

According to a report just released by the video evaluation service agency of Nielsen Online, an American market research company, Hulu has become the second largest video site in the United States after YouTube, and is also the largest Internet professional video provider in the United States.

Data show that after the first public promotion campaign, the American Super Bowl football game, Hulu's traffic surged 33% in February, and its video views reached 1.309 billion times, surpassing Yahoo and MySpace, and became the second largest player in the industry. YouTube's second-largest video site in the U.S., YouTube had 5.2 billion video views in February.

In addition, the data also shows that Hulu's unique audience increased by 31% to 10.5 million. Although this number is open to question, you must know that the data of the US Internet traffic monitoring agency shows that Hulu's independent audience is 3% of the Nielsen report. times.

However, in any case, it is a very happy thing that HULU Video can achieve this result in less than two years.

"How are the preparations for the "HULU Live" concert?"

In the conference room, Andy looked up at the company summary document in his hand, and asked Jason, the CEO of HULU Video.

"It went well. Most of the stars responded to the invitation letter we sent. However, a few people raised objections to the awards we selected based on the number of clicks and plays..."

"There are still a lot of problems, don't come. This concert is originally sorted according to the number of MV hits of the stars. It's useless if they don't accept it. In terms of status, can they compare with Michael?" The star directly sneered, "By the way, did Michael agree to participate in the show?"

"Agreed. After all, the offer of $10 million for two songs, he couldn't refuse when he was in financial difficulties!" Jason replied with a smile.

"That's good..." Andy raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Our 10 million is not in vain, his performance in concerts, we have the right to publish DVDs, we must implement it as soon as possible, I don't want any copyright disputes, understand!"

"clear."

Hearing Jason's affirmative answer, Andy nodded with satisfaction, while looking at the information in his hand, he muttered in his heart: "I hope it will change, even if it can't be changed, with the performance of these two songs, Not bad!"
