Chicago 1990

Chapter 1076: Looking Forward To 1997

"In fact, Netscape is pretty good. In 1995, it was 60 million. In 1996, its total revenue reached nearly 300 million. Forty percent came from intranet product and service revenue for large enterprises, and 6 percent. Ten comes from the sales of browsers and related software. Regardless of the growth trend and business configuration, they are much healthier than other Internet companies. Infoseek, YAHOO, those latecomers are simply burning money to play, I see YAHOO's report, a company with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars, 96 Only one million in advertising revenue year after year? The world is crazy..."

After the New Year’s concert, there was a cocktail party, which was held in the Chebinger Building next door to the Symphony Center. It was a salon. The participants consisted of three people from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, local artists, and members of the choir where the Vice President of Dow works. , And the celebrities attending the concert tonight.

After listening to Barenboi’s thank-you speech and the symphony center manager’s short speech to raise funds for the symphony center renovation project, Song Ya was entangled by a white man from Arthur Andersen accounting firm, who first complained about the hot Internet Then, without any surprise, he turned the topic to two companies that he was going to go public this year. “I saw a report about A+ Audio Company last night. Do you plan to list this company as a whole, or just launch America? The listing of music sites?"

"Website, what do you think?" Song Ya asked back.

"Of course, the Internet concept is now the password of wealth."

The white man smiled and said, "Where is 3DFX? I saw Compaq is using its products as a selling point to advertise new computers..."

"3DFX company...what?" Song Ya asked back.

"Last year there were not many rumors..."

The other party should be referring to a series of rumors about 3DFX's bankruptcy last year, "Oh, it's all over, now they are doing well." Song Ya waved his hand with a smile.

"Then this year's earnings forecast can support investor confidence?"

"Uh, this is hard to say, the competition in the hardware field is too fierce."

3DFX is already making money, but Song Ya doesn't want to talk too much to the other party. At this time, the arm is held by someone, so you don't need to look at it, it must be Xue Linfen, "Sorry, I..." just took the opportunity to say goodbye.

"APLUS, our Arthur Andersen is in Chicago, why not choose us? To be honest, your comprehensive cooperation with Yongdao makes us a little frustrated..." The other party hurriedly said what he really wanted to say.

"Samuel and I have been getting along well for many years..."

Everything started from when he was suppressed and settled the record when he first fought against Motula. At that time, when he asked an accountant to help collect evidence, Samuel’s quotation was the most reasonable among the various firms, and this kind of partnership was general. It will not change easily. The loss of that opportunity by other firms means that it will be difficult to be trusted in the future.

try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){} and it has already cooperated deeply with the Northern Trust and CNA Insurance of the Chicago Consortium. For the sake of checks and balances, it will not hand over the finances to a local accounting firm, Anda Xin has a history of cooperating with them for nearly a hundred years, and the relationship is intertwined. Once they work together to make a mess, it is estimated that they don't know how they were deceived.

"Maybe find a small project to try the water first? We will make you satisfied, regardless of service or charge." The other party proposed.

"Yes, I will consider."

Song Ya accepted the other party's business card, Yongdao was a bit expensive, and it was not bad to use Andersen as an excuse to take the opportunity to bargain, which made Samuel a bit of a sense of crisis.

"Then keep in touch!?"

"Ok."

After getting rid of the opponent smoothly, Song Ya patted the back of Xue Linfen's hand as a reward, but soon he was stopped again.

"APLUS, can you help me with an interview?"

It's Zoe Barnes of the Chicago Tribune, an old acquaintance.

"No problem, but I remember that you went to Washington?"

This woman is now'by the side' Underwood, and she can often get the first-hand material of Capitol Hill from the party whip. She just became the chief political reporter of the Chicago Tribune this year and a reporter in the White House. Song Ya and her affectionately embraced her.

Xuelinfen put her hand on her stomach silently.

"Yes, it's okay until the 20th, and I won't report on the inauguration until then." Zoe Barnes said.

"Uh……"

Tomorrow will not work, nor the day after tomorrow, Song Ya thought for a while, "You can call Ms. Sloan to make an appointment."

"OK, I know her."

Zoe Barnes is also a workaholic. After getting a satisfactory answer, she smiled and said hello to Xuelinfen, and hurried to pursue the next goal in the reception.

"Will this year be as busy as last year?" Xue Linfen asked.

"Not anymore."

Song Ya raised his eyes and looked forward. This year he has no plans to release a special edition. The movie will have to look at the box office of Blades before deciding whether to shoot a sequel. If the bail ban cannot be lifted in the middle of the year, then the global tour in the second half of the year will be out of play...

The rest, probably before the Amerika music website and 3DFX are listed to help build momentum, such as Metropolitan Records, New A+ Records, A+CN and other businesses. Most of the work is only making major decisions. The managers below carried out.

Now it’s up to Motula’s threat to be lifted. Using Old Mike’s words, he also knows that he will have a lot of hands. He will probably be busy with this and the Barn case in the first half of the year. By the way, he will prepare for the law school exam. If he can’t go abroad in the second half, he will hide. Enter the campus.

In short, in 1997, he planned to settle down and use this time to straighten out his fast-growing cross-industry business. The newly bought Littman Publishing House and the paper media will see if there is anything other than the new educational film plan. Squeeze out what kind of oil and water, while quietly waiting for the general public to forget their series of negative public opinions in the second half of last year. There are already a lot of scattered stocks of apocalyptic songs and movies. In 1998, the World Cup theme song broke out again and the king returned.

try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){} perfect!

By the way, and oversee the construction of the new headquarters of A+CN and A+ Records. Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is the 4th and there are arrangements. He glanced at his watch and it was already late.

"Boy!"

Why did you miss the vice president of Dow? The old man found him and brought the choir friends over cheerfully. He embraced his shoulders affectionately and slapped his hands behind his back, "Xue Lin." He also knew Xue Linfen, she was back then. The news of giving birth to Robb has helped the Dow light sticks divert a lot of public opinion.

"Five months." Xue Linfen's face was filled with happiness.

Song Ya shook hands with others. These people had a very good attitude towards him. Although they were all old guys retired from major companies in Michigan and Illinois, the hidden social resources were very unfathomable.

In addition, after being reported by some religious publications, the effectiveness of BabaYetu has gradually begun to ferment. More and more Christian organizations call for inquiries and even whimsically want to invite themselves to lead the performance. It is not limited to Protestantism, some wealthy churches. It might actually cost the commercial performance.Of course, more is to ask for music scores. The non-profit nature sings and sings in his own church without paying for it. He has asked Linda to meet most of the unreasonable requirements and please the conservative group.

The South African side seems to be willing to help formally send a letter inviting me to visit BabaYetu by the way. The Dream Lawyer Group thinks this is a very good reason to apply to the court to lift the ban on going abroad. Of course, if the Vatican can speak...

Thinking far, Song Ya shook his head.

"APLUS."

I was chatting with a retired old man from Mellon Bank, and a girl’s voice sounded from behind, it was Rashida Jones, "Your performance was great..."

The girl was thinner, her chin looked sharper, and she was dressed up, but she looked sad.

This is really obsessed with myself, hehe, dad is still here...

"Rashida! Your father is discharged from the hospital!? Is he better?" Xue Linfen asked pretentiously when she knew what happened to the hospital that night and later.

"Well, he went home to live. Can you give me some time to chat with APLUS alone? Just a moment..." Rashida glanced at her belly and asked carefully, timidly.

Xue Linfen just turned her head to ask Song Ya for advice, a wine glass was already stuffed in her hand.

"Yes." Song Ya nodded, "Where to go?"
