Chapter 389 The Apple Company that was trapped to death without knowing it

He regards the treasures of others as abandoned. Everyone has different perspectives and positions. In the eyes of the Graham family, Newsweek is a huge pit and a loss-making product. They can ignore its influence because they control the more awesome Washington Post Group.

Andy needs the credibility and influence that Newsweek has established over the past seventy years to increase his voice in the media and the world, even if it requires him to spend a lot of money to support it.

To a certain extent, holding such a newspaper in hand is also happy to see the Smith family. After all, no matter how good the relationship with other newspapers is, to put it bluntly, it is someone else's and there is no comparison at all.

The American news media are in the hands of private consortiums. They control the direction of public opinion. They control the ideological bias of the people. News will only give them what they want to see.

This is also the main reason why people's trust in the credibility of traditional media dropped to the lowest point after the era of self-media came, and many people even believed that the news on TV and newspapers were all fake and unreliable.

Andy naturally knew how much impact the self-media would bring to traditional media in the future, so he did not make any internal transformation for the Observer, but respected the original concept of the newspaper's newspaper. The only thing that changed was that he added his concept of news dissemination.

All news reports that appear in weekly magazines must be true and reliable. The data that must be proof-based. As much as possible, the judgment must be made without guiding bias. This is particularly important for readers to make their own judgments based on the detailed data listed.

What traditional media do the most is to be self-righteous and want to influence the people's thoughts. They don't care about authenticity, as long as they can use the content of the report to influence the people from their perspectives.

This is also the biggest reason why Americans become disgusted with traditional media reports after the arrival of self-media, after the simplification and rapidity of obtaining news.

As for the style issues that the weekly magazine has always been after taking over "News Weekly", Andy did not want to interfere. After all, this is a family with a long history and a long-standing newspaper style. Change means negation. However, the previous intensity needs to be slowly relieved. Although it will not be gentle, it cannot be opposed in order to oppose it.

In a word, if you use facts to avoid any human factors, you can have your own voice, but you must use data to prove it and not deceive readers.

Andy sat in the boss's chair in the office, wrote down his news concepts and thoughts on the computer. After carefully checking it, he decided that there was no problem and chose to save it. This was an email he was about to wait until he took over News Weekly and send him all the employees of the two newspapers.

Blair, who picked up the phone and called the game company, has been calling it. In the past few days, his think tank has frequently sold Apple stocks. In addition, the market is a bit suspicious, which has led to a wave of decline in Apple stocks. He is really worried that Apple will hold a grudge against him because of this, so the cooperation negotiations with Apple that Blair is in charge may be ruined.

This is also impossible. Compared with the profits that may be obtained from this real estate crash, Apple's cooperation has become a bit insignificant. Besides, if Apple does not choose to cooperate with game companies, the mobile phones they produce can only be used for phone calls, music, and photos, and not even a decent software application for a long time.

Besides, the stocks belong to you, and you can sell them as much as you want. Jobs has an objection. OK, come and arrange yourself and join the board of directors!

Ahem, Andy was also thinking too much. Unless he held more than 5% of the shares in his hand, he might need to make an announcement of shareholder change. At that time, perhaps Jobs would be worried that he would be involved in the incorporation of him.

This is also something Andy needs to consider after the economic crisis, becoming a shareholder of Apple and then sucking blood on the giant company.

In the future, Apple can make a profit of 50 billion yuan a year, while the amount of money that falls to Apple is only 67 billion yuan. The rest will be distributed to shareholders. This is a good investment that can make money at home.

Blair was a little unclear about his boss's question, but he still introduced the situation to the boss. The cooperation negotiations were relatively smooth. There was no conflict of interest now, and it was a matter of benefiting both parties.

After Andy knew that the matter was going well, he felt relieved. This kind of cooperation now seems to be mutually beneficial, and it is the same in the short term. However, as Apple phones seize the global market, Jobs and Apple will definitely regret it, and even make up some trouble to break the contract. After all, the interests are touching.

"Boss, the 10-year cooperation period is really too long, and we have to pay 10% of the profits to Apple, which is a very disadvantageous."

Andy held the phone and reached out to cover her face, which really made Blair's complaints disgusted. Damn, if he knew that Apple later, no matter what it was, as long as it passed through their platform and Ai Cang mobile phone, he would have to charge 30% of the toll. I wonder if he would blush at what he said today.

This is when Apple itself lacks confidence in Ai Crazy Mobile Phones. When they seize the mobile phone market, they will definitely regret it.

"...Did you explain the content of the liquidated damages in detail to the other party?" Andy was silent for a moment. He didn't want to worry about Blair's short-sightedness. After all, he could see the future, and others could not do it. From the perspective of interests, he would really make money to the current Ai Cang mobile phone. It seems that Apple takes advantage of it.

"It means that all profits from sales through Apple phones are 10 times. Although they have questioned that the penalty for breach of contract is too high, we have reached a consensus after we argue that the three games are embedded in the mobile phone trial version, "Start", "Minecraft" and "Fruit Swordsman". We also agreed to their request to sell the full version to download in Apple's physical store.

However, there are differences in payment issues. You have already issued instructions in the briefing by this boss, and we have made concessions according to your decision. Apple can directly collect it and make monthly settlement payments. We need to pay interest after the deadline."

"Well, very good. Blair, maybe you can't understand the intention of some of my decisions yet, but it doesn't matter. In the future, you will know that the concessions we make now are very worthwhile. Perhaps, Apple will regret signing this cooperation document at that time..."

Andy asked about the development progress of each team of the game company. He repeatedly told him to pay attention to the transplantation of mobile phones and speed up the progress, and to give priority and support to both funds and personnel.

He hung up the phone and laughed a few times. He took advantage of his forward-looking advantage to tie his games with the Ai Crazy series of mobile phones, and put shackles on Apple, so that even if they regretted it, they would vomit blood and complete the contract.

Haha, 10 times the liquidated damages from mobile game sales profits, hehe, unless Apple really spends billions of dollars to terminate the contract, the game "Minecraft" alone can sell 10,000 sets every day. If you remember correctly, in six years, the P version alone will sell 20 million sets. Of course, if Apple really wants to make a ruthless move, this little money is nothing.

But this matter itself is not worth the price they paid for and can get money off the game, even if it only has 10% of the profit, although this is very depressing to the domineering Apple.

But after a long time, I became accustomed to it!

Being able to pirate Apple upset makes Andy feel extremely comfortable. A giant like Apple, who looks like the best in the world wherever she goes. If you don’t listen to me, you will be fooled by your rogue company. It can make their company look bad, helpless, grit their teeth, and feel unhappy when they mention it, but they just don’t have any way to do it. It’s simply a glorious deed that Andy should praise thousands of chapters.

Perhaps when Apple wants to tear it apart, it should look at them lightly and say: "I just like the way you can't stand me and can't kill me!"
Chapter completed!
