Most of the emotional messages are deliberately made, but Song Yazhen was a little anxious when he posted the last post, and when he needed deterrence, his largest single fortune shrank a lot with the sharp drop in Netscape's stock price.

"Jim! I can't figure it out! Why don't you just refuse to accommodate AOL (米国在线)!? If you have to charge such an important browser authorization fee for strategic partners, you must also pay the share money and poll tax strictly according to the number of users! ”

In fact, after rumors that some PC manufacturers will be equipped with Microsoft's free IE Windows97 operating system next year, Netscape's stock price was not questioned at the first time, and it rose for two days, but AOL suddenly announced that it would defect from Netscape to Microsoft, replacing the user access page with IE browser, which became a key turning point that crushed the confidence of shareholders.

And AOL's explanation is very simple, it costs money to use your Netscape product, and Microsoft has a ready-made free one, why don't I change it?

"It's not...... You...... Do you talk to people like that now? ”

Jim Clark was very upset with his growling body.

"Uh, I'm sorry Jim, I've been ...... lately I've not been in a good mood lately, you know. ”

Song Yamiao habitually apologized.

"I am responsible for the company's profits and stock price, and AOL provides more than 10 million dollars of income every year.

Jim Clark said in a better tone, explaining: "That's okay, we've pushed Microsoft into a corner, they don't use monopoly means to turn around at all, as long as the flaws of unfair competition are exposed, they will definitely pay the price." ”

"So what now? AOL's revenue is gone, and next month's market share data will not look good, and other Internet access providers will follow suit. ”

That's Microsoft, not surprisingly, this year Microsoft will rank fifth in the S&P market capitalization list, a little bit closer to crossing the 100 billion mark, nearly double last year's market capitalization, the top four are General Electric, Coca-Cola, Exxon Oil and Intel.

Songya is not as confident as Jim Clark.

"Rest assured, our browser is better to use and more stable, and users will not stay on the access page that AOL automatically pops up for a long time, and finally have to use Netscape."

Jim Clark comforted, "Microsoft is not only suspected of monopoly, but it is also likely that it has secretly used illegal means to persuade AOL to be bought, wait for it, I will find out the evidence and let them be completely finished!" ”

"Hmph."

Anyway, this guy is afraid that the selling tide will hit the stock price, and he must be confident to the outside world, who knows the actual situation? Song Ya didn't dare to believe it all, "Then do we have any short-term means to save the stock price recently?" ”

"There will be. By the way, your post seems to have spread well, go on, high-intensity attacks, and add a little sarcasm might be better, I made up a copy of Ballmer, the president of his company, you remember. Jim Clark said.

"Is that a personal attack?"

"You still don't dare to attack personally?"

"That's different...... Forget it, wait a minute, I'll take the pen and paper...... You said. ”

Song Ya wrote down Jim Clark's original lame little joke.

In fact, he doesn't think much about it, it's just a humble minority shareholder of Netscape, and he can't make it the same as having a life-and-death feud with Microsoft.

At this time, jump out and chase the most powerful software giants, for fear that there are not many enemies, what's the matter? Lao Tzu is not so reckless, okay.

In any case, let's get Oprah in place now, and the second concert in Lisbon is tomorrow, and then we will leave for Miri, and the assassination threat has not been lifted yet!

Motura ......

That guy is really hard to deal with, it's not that hard to deal with, it's not easy to deal with.

Motura is not a public figure like Oprah, and he has not officially taken office as the president of Sony Columbia Records, and when he posted a crazy attack on him, the reaction of ordinary viewers was, 'Who is this?' ''Why do you always mention him and attack him?'' ''I know he's racist, but haven't you made trouble many times?'' And now Motura is not much of a character. ’

It doesn't work well.

How can you ruin a leper dog who hides and pretends to be dead? Otherwise, you won't be able to get the so-called 'permission to kill'!

"Doug?"

During the last rehearsal, I received a call from Doug, the chief of staff of the Party Whip's Office, "You don't want to intercede for Oprah too, do you?" Song Ya half-jokingly tentatively.

Although Underwood is a Chicago politician, he started relatively late, and Oprah had already left Chicago when he became a U.S. representative, and the two sides did not have much in common.

He has no campaign pressure this year, but he has a heavy responsibility, and he needs to help the Donkey Party group keep a firm eye on the election of federal representatives in various places, and he is very busy, so it stands to reason that it should not be necessary, and he can't care about participating in the affairs of himself and Oprah.

"What if I say yes?" Doug asked rhetorically.

"You ...... You hypocritical politicians! A bunch of rubbish! I was innocent and was by someone, and you still want me to swallow it!? Lao Tzu's life safety is not guaranteed now, and he has to wear body armor when he goes out! Fxxk！ ”

Song Ya scolded, Underwood's failure to help was more infuriating than Gore's not helping, "Don't want to get another penny from me in the future!" You tell your host ......"

"Hey! DON'T WORRY, APLUS. ”

Doug hurriedly stopped him from continuing to scold, "Listen to me patiently, okay?" Of course, I'm only responsible for passing the word......"

The next day, Song Ya waved her hand with emotion and sang with the Lisbon fans AiSeEuTePego, and the last global tour of '96 ended successfully and smoothly.

"Hey, thanks, great work."

"Are you leaving? Oh yes, you're a native of Europe, but you're going to party in the evening, right? ”

"Don't run too far, there's a party in the evening, come here."

"Thank you, thank you, great work......"

Walking off the stage, he and everyone in the tour team hugged and thanked each other cordially, and invited them to the party, and the whole thirteen large-scale concerts did not have any major accidents, and there were no internal gossip leaks, which was very satisfying.

Surrounded by the tour team, shaking hands stretched out from all directions, the main creators, staff, dancers, musicians, singers, and bodyguards came over to socialize, and he was also in a good mood, and he did not refuse to accept requests such as autographs and group photos, and all of them were satisfied.

"APLUS, THE VIDEO IS HERE, LET'S WATCH IT TOGETHER!"

Anschutz executives shouted from the perimeter.

"Right now!"

He said yes loudly, and the people around him consciously split a path and let him go back to the lounge.

There were quite a few people in it, except for the ones who needed to put the finishing touches on Ferge, Hallie, Miss Sloane, Jimmy, and Anschutz and Sony Columbia Records.

After fighting for a while, Motura basically didn't play his old tricks such as removing records from the shelves, deliberately not hitting the charts, suppressing publicity, and delaying payment for A+ records, probably trying to narrow the impact as much as possible, while not causing too much trouble for Sony.

This makes the singers under A+ Records currently stable, and they are waiting for the contract to expire at the beginning of next year and change to a new company together. Good web

But it also shows that Ms. Sloane's fears are likely to be close to the truth, and that Motura really wants to kill herself and help Sony Columbia Records release her own commemorative album, otherwise there is no need to be so patient.

Newman, who was still his manager for the time being, also came, standing on the 'last shift' and bringing a cassette of tapes.

"...... later"

Song Ya hugged him warmly, "Take care of Mimi ...... for me"

Daniel is gone, and he will leave soon, and Newman's life in the company will not be easy in the future, but fortunately, in addition to his executive salary, he also has half of Mariah Carey's managerial income, relying on his own DIVA, and he is also the manager of NAS.

"Don't worry."

Newman smiled: "Have you seen her interview with the Chinese-language media? ”

"Of course."

The ex-wife is still very kind, and twice publicly claimed that she was not a person who would abuse women so much, once in the book, and once again yesterday, in an interview with the media in the bend, she once again expressed her support for herself.

In fact, her current situation is not very good, the hidden danger of Motula's return has always been there, and her media exposure during her pregnancy in October was not good, and then she left the United States. Recently, Donnie Breston and her similar lyrical-pop and blues single Un-BreakMyHeart hit the charts, and music media and music critics have praised Donnie as a strong candidate for DIVA.

The title of DIVA is not a cabbage, someone may come up to say that someone will go down, and she is also under a lot of pressure.

Song Ya recently read an autobiography of a rock singer who was a flash in the pan in the 70s, and it mentioned an experience from the singer's own point of view, and I felt very much the same way.

It's that the singer himself often doesn't know whether he is actually popular or not, and how popular he is.

The autobiographer's band became famous quickly, and in the 70s, the promotion of the charts mainly relied on performances in one place and one place to complete the tour publicity. When they released their first album, they started from a small place and traveled all the way through various cities of all sizes in the whole meter, and it was obvious that there were more audiences coming to the concert in the past year, and the fans were getting more and more crazy.

So the five band members became more and more proud, indulgent, spent money like water, and signed a contract for the all-meter tour while the iron was hot.

It's another year of rushing, and when the tour is over, they feel that the audience is not less, the fans are still enthusiastic, and the girls are still sticking up like crazy, but they just aren't popular, and suddenly they're not popular. The announcements of the TV and radio stations are gone, and even if there is, they are invitations from small radio stations, newspapers and magazines have not talked about them for a long time, advertisers have disappeared, so are the paparazzi, and the fees for commercial performances are discounted and discounted......

Only from God's point of view, will you clearly see their curve from popular to gradually outdated, from the discovery of rock stars in the media, to the tabloids publishing their out-of-order behavior on the way to the tour, in fact, it didn't take long for their songs to gradually disappear from the public eye, new similar bands rose, and slowly, although their tour box office was not bad, their songs were no longer played in shopping malls and bars, and their faces were no longer seen in the media.

And these, for themselves, seem to be just a matter of a moment after the end of the tour, and then the second major failed, the team infighting disbanded, and disappeared completely.

A few years later, no one would recognize them on the road, and everything before that was like an unreal dream.

They have struggled, and they have tried their best to create heat, but in exchange for only the cynicism of the tabloids against the out-of-fashion celebrities who are unwilling to be lonely, and then continue to be forgotten.

Although the five later band members can still get some royalty income, the infinite scenery of those two years is like a dark cloud in life, some of them sucked and sank, and some of them committed suicide because they couldn't accept reality, and in the end, except for the autobiographer, the others couldn't even maintain a stable life.

And what about yourself? Chicago's gangster singers, murder 2PAC suspicions, rape, violent men, cheating scumbags in marriage, abusive women, treason, gay rumors, etc., everything is concentrated in this year's outbreak.

Song Ya actually doesn't know the whole picture of her perception among the public, maybe after returning from the tour, she is no longer popular, right?

'Bang! ’

The sound of champagne interrupting his thoughts, "Go home!" Go home! Fergie was delighted, clutching a large bottle of champagne and yelling.

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, Song Ya took a sip of wine, sat down in front of the dressing table, and Hallie snuggled over, "We're not going to be popular, right?" He asked as if he had guessed his own thoughts.

"Don't scare yourself."

Song Ya knows that she has been in a very low mood recently, and her favorite must be out of place, and she has offended Oprah again, if Blade Warrior fails at the box office next year because of the decline in her popularity, she ...... It's not too young.

The black pearl that babbles on weekdays now looks like a sick beauty who complains all day long.

Wrapping his arms around her shoulders and encouraging, to little avail, "Let's watch TV." ”

Anschutz's men stuffed the tape Newman brought into the machine, which was from the Chicago WGN station.

"Oprah! We love you! ”

In the picture, Aunt Susie and Connie appeared, the two of them were hugging Oprah with a bright smile on the left and right, and Connie even held Oprah's arm like an idol, bouncing happily.

"Connie, you...... No way? "No one here is unaware of his conflict with Oprah," Becky said in surprise.

'Oprah Winfrey is back in Chicago today to attend a charity event hosted by the Susie Foundation, which is dedicated to helping the black poor in the South City......

Said the reporter's voiceover.

It was only then that everyone noticed the cheques that the three buckets of black women were holding together.

She announced that she would donate 10 million to the Susie Foundation, who happens to be a relative of APLUS's aunt. ’

"In Chicago, Black Community Lives ......"

Oprah stepped onto the podium, behind Susie and Connie, Gordon, Reverend William, and some of Chicago's South Side black elite.

"I very much appreciate Susie's philanthropic action in support of the poor and the church over the years......"

The level of her speech is top-notch, her voice is full of emotion, and the typhoon is very stable.

"Also, I would like to apologize to Susie, the South City African American community, and APLUS himself for my gaffe on the show, because of my misbelief, I was not careful to use a friend's paraphrase of APLUS's evaluation of me on the show, sorry, I am very sorry for that."

Oprah's words were interspersed with a lengthy donation speech, and soon the conversation turned to big issues, but it was enough.

The lounge was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.

“Shxt！”

Harley broke the silence as she suddenly seemed to come to life, "APLUS! How did you M-Fxxk do it!? He slapped Song Ya's arm vigorously, and his voice changed back to before.

"I said I hadn't said anything like that." Song Ya shrugged his shoulders under the gaze of everyone in the room.

WGN is a local station in Chicago, and Portugal can't receive it, so I asked Newman to bring the tape over by the way, and there is no place to record it......

"Thank you, thank you......"

Oprah stepped off the podium amid applause, looked back at the 10 million check that had been handed over to Susie, her nose was sore, her heart ached, and she quickly avoided others and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

This time she really cried.
