Back to 1995

Immelt, who became more and more extraordinary, said to Song Yang in a true and false way, how much of the truth in the words can only be guessed.

"President Immelt, this is a joke, but no one can conquer the American record industry!

The Saipan music store and the record industry are just cooperating with each other! "

In the Bruno Family Club in San Jose, Song Yang saw Immelt who came over in a low-key manner. He could do some things, but there was no need to come out and pretend to show off.

After the Saipan Music Store, together with the American Internet Association, formally approved the congressmen of the Elephant Party on Capitol Hill and submitted the "America Digital Copyright Protection Act" to Capitol Hill, BMG and EMI Records of the five major record groups, in order to express their support for Saipan With the support of the music store, cooperation has been reached with the Saipan Music Store.

Universal Music and Sony Music are still hesitating, but they will also hand over part of the record copyright to the Saipan Music Store as an agent. After all, the Saipan Music Store's implementation of the digital copyright protection law this time protects the interests of Hollywood as a whole. They have to express themselves, even if they are pretending, otherwise no one will dare to cooperate with them in the future.

On the Hollywood side, why there is no way to deal with platforms such as Scour and Napster is because America does not currently have a real digital copyright protection law.

Traditional books, records, movies, TV dramas, etc. are naturally protected from infringement by the federal copyright law. If they can be placed on the Internet, they are not applicable, and they can be done without any prohibition. Although this is nonsense, it can be borrowed During the blank period, Napster was able to wrestle with Hollywood. This is where Sean Fanning's confidence lies, and he may even win the lawsuit.

Now, the Saipan music store will fill this gap as a "messenger of justice". This bill is also the second time that the Internet Association of America represents the entire Internet industry after Bill 230, which is known as the Internet Death Free Gold Medal. , formally submitting the bill to Capitol Hill.

Once this bill is passed, Internet entertainment platforms such as Scour and Napster that want to play empty-handed white-wolf tricks will never appear again!

This trick is an "extreme trick", and many small and medium-sized Internet companies are crying all over the place, scolding Saipan music stores for eating with their bowls, and putting down their bowls to scold their mothers. Where is it so easy for music stores to get record copyright libraries from several major record giants.

But no matter how much you scold, it won’t change the fact that the Saipan Music Store will become the largest digital music platform in the Internet industry. Napster has also become the number one competitor of the Saipan Music Store. Don’t kill Napster. Will you willingly go to the Saipan music store and pay to download music? !
Blocking people's money, such as killing their parents, Saipan music store and Napster, of course, there is no great hatred, and Song Yang has no opinion at all about Sean Fanning, a genius of the new generation of Internet.

As for the media, Song Yang concocted the gimmick that he couldn’t get used to Sean Fanning, Kalanick and other new generation Internet geniuses, so he “colluded” with the record group.

Purely right now, the Saipan Music Store and platforms like Napster are already in conflict with each other. Napster must be eliminated before the Saipan Music Store can cut leeks openly!

Sean Fanning is still dying, and there are also some die-hard Napster users who are shouting for Napster, but their arms can't twist their thighs. Facing the evil dragon of the Saipan music store, Sean Fanning, the dragon-slaying boy, is still alive after all. Might be a pity...

This is also the expectation of hundreds of thousands of practitioners in the entire recording industry, and even the entire financial and taxation departments of America. No one wants to see that the tax department in the country collects a large amount of tax less. In contrast, it is the lowest cost to kill a Napster and suppress the ambition of a dragon-slaying boy.

Picking up his coffee, he took a sip. Regarding the big drama in the record industry, Immelt did not have the unfounded speculation of the media, nor the conspiracy theories of some people. He has enough knowledge of the intrigue in these industries, because General Electric Played more outrageous!

"Presumably, Song, you should know the mysterious overseas venture capital foundation behind Scour, right?"

Immelt thinks about the turmoil in the record industry, when the tide goes out to see who's swimming and who's got the most bang for the buck.

To be honest, Immelt admired this manipulator. Who would have thought that in the end, Saipan Music Store, the thick-eyed guy standing in the corner, would have the last laugh.

First supported the Scour platform, driving tigers and wolves to merge with the record industry, and then supported Diamond MP3 to poach corners, forcing several major record groups to choose to cooperate with Saipan Music Store, and finally crossed the river and demolished the bridge, Immelt I feel that even if he manages it himself, he may not be able to handle things to this extent!

Song Yang laughed, without admitting or denying it, just picked up the teacup and clinked a cup with Immelt instead of wine.

This time in the record industry, Song Yang just pushed the boat with the tide, and "stirred up the flames" by a little bit. It's just that the big drama in the record industry has come to an end temporarily. At least within ten years, the Saipan music store is going to embrace Listening to the gold mine of digital music, I have been able to make money lying down for some years.

"I also want to congratulate President Immelt. I think we will hear the news that President Immelt has become the new head of General Electric before Christmas at the latest!"

Song Yang also boasted to Immelt that the acquisition of the Honeywell Group led by the current head of General Electric, Welch, and the president of General Dynamics, McNina, is now in trouble.

Just as General Electric and Honeywell were discussing the purchase price, Airbus began to protest, and the European Trade Commission took advantage of the situation to suspend the transaction!

Although it did not say that it is a permanent suspension, and that Honeywell Group will not be allowed to leave Europe, at least in a short period of time, General Electric will not want to get Honeywell.

This was Welch’s biggest setback at the end of his career. He wanted to make his entire career a legend. The acquisition of Honeywell was his last battle, but now it is clear that there is not much left when he leaves General Electric. It's time, and there is no possibility of a solution for this acquisition.

Similarly, Immelt's biggest competitor for the head of General Electric, McKenenna, also had a bad nose.

Now in front of Immelt, as long as there is a big news, and for General Electric, another giant with 2000 billion or even 3000 billion dollars will come out, then he will become General Electric, and it will be a certainty!
Faced with Song Yang's compliments, Immelt has no humility at all. At this point, it is a time of life and death. If he wants to take the position of the head of General Electric, Immelt cannot be modest. Let, just kick yourself out of the game.

"hope so!"

"Song, the merger and acquisition of ICQ with NBC Group and Comcast Television Network must start, and now is the time!"

In advance of this matter, Immelt's tone of voice raised a little unconsciously. This was something they had already discussed for an unknown amount of time. Immelt had waited too long for this day.

In America, what is the most direct criterion for evaluating a professional manager? The answer may be various, such as Gerstner who saved IBM, Jotus who saved Wang An Group from the fire, Jobs who is saving Apple, etc. Characters who may all count in these criteria.

But if you want to use a legend to describe a professional manager, then there is only Welch. This man single-handedly brought General Electric from a company with a market value of 100 billion US dollars to a height of nearly 4000 billion US dollars.

Whoever becomes Welch's successor will be under great pressure, and it will be difficult even to become his replacement.

But Immelt is not reconciled, and becomes someone's shadow. If he can create a giant with a market value that is almost as good as General Electric before taking office, who would dare to say that he is just a substitute?

Looking at Immelt, who is so ambitious that his eyes are about to overflow, Song Yang feels that no one is more suitable than Immelt for taking the blame. Even if he is not allowed to take the blame, he is probably anxious.
