Back To 1995: Chapter 792 big fish eat small fish
The roar in his ears could not compare to the horror in Schadler's heart at the moment. He was completely awake at this moment. Who was the person on the other side of the phone was not at all his right to complain!
Song Yang in the past, as well as Alcatel mobile phones, PA semiconductors, etc., were all like spring breeze to Diamond Corporation and Schedler, so that Schedler began to forget Song Yang's identity and his relationship with Song Yang. of various rumors.
"Song, you know, I didn't mean that, I just want to say that now Diamond is a partner of Alcatel mobile phone and PA semiconductor..."
Scheidler stammered and said to Song Yang, not daring to have the slightest complaint or dissatisfaction.
Song Yang was at the shooting range, shooting at the target with an AR rifle. After hitting several targets in a row, he picked up the phone again.
Just now, Song Yang just gave Schadler a warning, telling him that the Dimension is not qualified to ask Song Yang, Alcatel mobile phones, etc. to do things for it.
When cooperating with Diamond before, it was PA Semiconductor who came out and exchanged more than 30 million US dollars for a 25% stake in Diamond, becoming the second largest shareholder of Diamond.
Looking back now, this deal is a huge profit for Diamond League, although it was used as a black glove to trick the five major record groups, to allow Alcatel mobile phones to release P2 music phones, and to make the Saipan music store an online music store. The orthodoxy of the music platform has obtained the copyright library of Warner Records, BMG, and EMI Records.
But Diamond has also benefited, the Diamond MP3 player, let it earn a lot of money, the graphics card of the Diamond has also entered the Alcatel mobile phone industry chain, and even the Apple iMac uses the graphics card of the Diamond. The life of the League Company is much better than before.
As a result, now, after a few good days, Schedler seems to be a little confused about the form, and even wants to bargain with Song Yang to change the price.
In addition, the most important point is that Schedler seems to be unprepared for Diamond to turn the major shareholder into PA Semiconductor, and wants to maintain independence. He did not accept the olive branch extended by PA Semiconductor. This is what makes Song Yang dissatisfied.
"Song, I don't mean anything else, I just think that if Diamond loses its position in the MP3 industry, it will also be a loss for Alcatel mobile phones and Symbian music stores!" Shedler said with a lowered posture.
Hearing this, Song Yang shook his head and said, "Even without Apple, there will be other technology brands entering the MP3 industry. Diamond cannot monopolize the entire industry forever!"
In the final analysis, the threshold for entering MP3 is really not high, and it is not obvious now. After a few years, a large number of brands that have never been heard of, as well as various counterfeit and pirated MP3 machines, will all be sold at ultra-low prices. The price will smash this industry.
Of course, the high-end MP3 industry still has a great market. Apple’s iPod can be sold for more than ten years, and even a few years before the advent of the smartphone era, it has continuously contributed to Apple and provided a lot of cash flow.
As for Diamond, it has taken the mass product line from the beginning, and the price of 99 US dollars seems to have lowered the threshold for users. It may not be so easy to launch high-end brand MP3 players in the future.
On the other hand, Apple’s iPod has positioned itself in the high-end MP3 market from the very beginning. Perhaps the sales volume of the first and second generation iPods is not good. It may sell hundreds of thousands of units a year, but once users accept it It is the setting of Ferrari in the MP3 player, then its sales will skyrocket, and it is possible to sell 10 million iPods in a quarter.
Sometimes, if the choice is different at the beginning, the result may really be different. As for the process, compared to the result, no one is interested...
"An apple will not make Diamond disappear in the MP3 industry. Diamond has other businesses, and there is enough time to adjust. Diamond still has the opportunity to choose!"
Song Yang turned to Schadler and hinted that the opportunity was given to him. If he still pretended not to respond this time, it would be a big deal to change to another brand to support it. There are so many graphics card brands, and the Diamond League is not bad.
Anyway, PA Semiconductor needs a graphics card brand to make up for its shortcomings. Song Yang’s graphics card business may not be the best, but it must be available. The importance of graphics cards in the future is self-evident.
Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Schedler sat on his president's seat, and the phone dropped powerlessly on the table. Of course, he could understand Song Yang's hint, but whether to join Song Yang's sect, Schedler Still a little tangled.
Schedler also knows that what Song Yang sees in the God League is not the MP3 business. Since the Alcatel mobile phone handed over this business to the God League, he knew that the key to Song Yang's mind was the graphics card business. It's something that Diamond League can really sell!
In the past few years, the life of Dimeng has not been good, but at least he is the master of the house, and he has taken refuge in Song Yang, and let PA Semiconductor become the major shareholder of Dimeng. If it is not good, the brand of Dimeng may be hidden in the snow, and Schedler himself may be swept out.
But if you don’t sell yourself, remember Song Yang’s attitude just now, the last warning, and the gunshot, it’s like hitting Schadler’s heart.
Scheidler sighed helplessly. He knew that the final result might not be up to him at all. Without Song Yang's support, how long the Dimension can live is probably a question!
This is a small and medium-sized company. Facing the helplessness of the giants, even if Diamond was once quite famous and the leader in the graphics card industry, in the eyes of the giants, it is just a bull, a slightly famous bull.
That is to say, the Internet is an emerging industry. Otherwise, if it has been developed for decades like traditional industries, there would be no chance for companies such as Double Click, ICQ, Netscape, and Yahoo to develop!
After Song Yang put down the phone, he raised the AR and continued to shoot. Song Yang can only be regarded as a novice when it comes to thermal weapons. When he was shooting the wild boars that were raging on the farm at the old Bruno farm in Houston, Song Yang His marksmanship is a bit hip.
"You can try this Beretta, Blackwater's weapon research and development department, made some modifications, new engineering materials were used for the sleeve and base, ergonomic optimization was done on the grip, and Picatinny rails and Tactical light, and laser designator, it can improve the accuracy at night, very suitable for beginners... Song, you can try it!"
Prince, another nominal founder of Blackwater Security, assembled a modified Beretta gun in twos and threes, and handed it to Song Yang.
The Blackwater company's stall is now getting bigger and bigger. Not only is the staff size rapidly expanding like a snowball, but the training base is also building more and more. Now it is in cities in more than ten states in America, Washington, New York, Los Angeles, Houston and other places , have already built a training base, which is equivalent to the local headquarters of Heishui.
Of course, in terms of equipment, it is also constantly improving. From the beginning of its establishment, it tended to focus on security equipment, and now there are many more offensive weapons. Even the Blackwater mercenaries overseas still have some powerful weapons in their hands. Not many.
Like Song Yang's, there are more such improved weapons. After all, those people in the security company who can really fight have high requirements for weapons, and the Blackwater Company also needs them to support the facade. In terms of weapons, naturally Don't be stingy anymore, a weapon research and development department has been set up to improve those weapons, and even design some simple equipment.
"Heishui's overseas business, I heard it is very good?"
Song Yang raised the Beretta in his hand and shot several times in a row. Compared with the AR, the recoil and accuracy of this Beretta have indeed improved a lot.
Prince is in charge of the overseas business of Blackwater Security, and the local business in America is managed by Gallo, one inside and one outside.
Hearing Song Yang mention Blackwater's overseas business, Prince smiled, and said with a smile, "With connections from the MPRI security company, this year, Blackwater has received many overseas security orders from the Federation. The number of water mercenaries overseas has exceeded 400, and the overseas income of Blackwater this year is expected to exceed 300 million US dollars!"
Song Yang nodded. How long has it been since Heishui was established? It is quite good to be able to get so many orders and send more than 400 people overseas. They are all the most capable people in Heishui. They have to provide equipment, training, and participate in overseas security activities. Pile the boxes back...
