Chicago 1990

At the Chicago Opera House in early December, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s another classic musical "Cat" has just ended.

"Jimmy, send me Jeffrey."

The men and women in formal attire left the small box while chatting. Song Ya accompanied Jeffrey Hawkins of Palm and several other company founders with small shares after taking off their coats and walking to the parking lot entrance to say goodbye.

"APLUS, thank you."

Jeffrey Hawkins shook hands with him with some emotion, "Our cooperation has always been very pleasant, and we have also spent the most difficult time for the company together."

"Why is summer late and how time passes..."

Song Ya read two lines from a musical, "But summer will always come, right?"

"Yeah, summer will always come... Then, goodbye?"

"Goodbye."

Hawkins smiled and went down to pick up the car with his wife, accompanied by Jimmy.

Starting from January 1 next year, Palm will become the holding branch of USR (USRobotics). The founders of Hawkins and other companies only retain less than 10% of the total shares, and Song Ya's shares are also reduced. At 5%, other early investment institutions chose to make a profit and exit.

USR finally won Palm with a valuation of 70 million among many competitors, so they need to pay about 60 million dollars for about 86% of the equity acquisition, and Jeffrey Hawkins instantly became an asset of thousands. Wan's new rich, and Song Ya's 15% share of the deal was exchanged for $10.5 million.

Song Ya spent 1.6 million to buy 20% of the shares that year, and the investment has reaped handsome returns.Of course, this is inconsistent with his original intention for Palm to follow DTS's plans to go public.But there is no way. USR is a technology company whose main business is to produce modems. Now the U.S. network industry is developing very rapidly. They are rich in wealth and the money is heavy enough to compete.

Jeffrey Hawkins also tends to sell his shares to large companies with hardware manufacturing capabilities, so that he can spend his favorite R&D work at ease. USR can help him continue his dream of manufacturing PDAs, and it can also help resist Xerox’s initiatives. In a patent infringement lawsuit, Song Ya couldn't afford both.

So, this can only be done. Song Ya asked Jimmy to retain 5% of Palm's shares through some resistance actions, which is also considered as a memory for the future, although USR will certainly not allow him to get stubborn minority shareholders. What good.

"In fact, China's abbreviation for modem is cat."

Yan Hong, a beautiful Chinese-American woman in a red evening dress, covered her overcoat with a smile.

"Really? Tell you a secret..." Song Ya blinked at her, "I have a deeper feeling for China than the United States, hehehe..."

"That's it." A sentence made Yan Honghuazhi tremble, "Then I'm leaving too?"

"Okay, bye."

She is already employed by a Dow Jones subsidiary company and occasionally responds to Song Ya’s technical inquiries. Due to the inconvenience of charging, Song Ya can only use free resources and don’t need to use it. Her senior executives really understand Internet technology. less.This time she came to Chicago on a business trip, just to bring her to watch the musical, and by the way, she helped her get familiar in front of Hawkins and others.

In 1994, with this income of 10 million, there were 9 million principals and 26 million profit for my life project, Dow paid the first endorsement fee of 5 million, and Sony Columbia The record’s settlement of 25 million yuan, the release of part of the DTS share income of more than 8 million, plus other miscellaneous income, if you include Dow’s 40 million cash, 2 million shares and the cash saved last year , The speed of accumulating money is amazing.

However, his spending this year is not low, spending tens of millions on parties with his fiancée, engagement ceremonies, and other luxury goods and celebrity life. A+ Film Studio will prepare tens of millions of investment in two projects next year. Jing spent 2 million, and later he spent 10 million on increasing his stock after seeing HP’s PDA products.

In addition to his company and holdings that are difficult to accurately value, his stock value in the stock market has also reached the 100 million mark, which does not include the value of real estate, airplanes, luxury goods, etc.In order to help Daniel secure his position as president, the follow-up settlement of Sony Columbia Records will be delayed until next year, and the income from recording my life soundtrack and Fergie, Common and others will be a huge sum of money.

As Xue Linfen refused the real estate gift, it took eighteen years to pay the millions of her and Robb mother and son, so for Song Ya now, the burden is almost negligible.

"What's going on with Mr. Kenneth?" He took a chance to ask Old Mike quietly.

Before preparing for a big fight in 1995, the sequelae of the FBI agent's killing were still a bit troublesome. In the last time of his tenure, Childs launched a raid on the territories of the Hell Bobcats, but in a tacit understanding with Peter Flock Next, Kenneth, who returned to the Hell Bobcat, took the initiative to surrender some gangs to calm the FBI’s anger. He even changed the name of the gang. Now the Hell Bobcat no longer exists and is called Carter ( Cat).

Among the relevant persons, the bragging father is the most unlucky, because the only surviving person is his subordinate. Under the FBI's interrogation, the guy said everything. The bragging father was arrested and handed over to the security soon, but it will be inevitable in the future. Will become a frequent visitor to police stations and courts.

Sugnet had no time to take care of the investigation by the FBI and the local police. Fortunately, he and the bragging father were basically the victims of Sinaloa's affairs. He did not participate this time, so the degree of impact was affected. Lower.

In the eyes of the low-level black groups and small and medium-sized DJs, Sinaloa, who committed a series of major crimes, finally died with the FBI detective and became a legend. Little Lori was led by rumors to betray his brothers in order to escape second-degree murder. The whistleblower of, he is still in prison at present, and he will be put back to the ordinary cell in the future... he can only ask for his blessings.

Bragging father harvested a wave of underground reputation, because the three gunmen he sent to Chicago finally led to the death of Sinaloa, and it was revenge.

As for Song Ya himself, the DJs basically didn't pull him in, but the trend was bearish, because the Hell Bobcat was wiped out in the eyes of unsuspecting people, so now he feels that his gang backstage is gone.

"Kenneth can handle it."

Old Mike said: "The FBI's crime scene investigation team found sniper rifle parts at the scene, but I have eliminated the intermediate links that can track me down."

Two days after Old Mike left midway, Song Ya didn't want to ask him why he went and what he did.

"After the crime scene investigation team arrived, someone went to sabotage the scene. I don't know who instigated it, but I believe the FBI can't find out more." Old Mike said again.

"A lie should be rounded up with more lies, right?" Song Ya smiled helplessly.

"Everyone is very professional, and the destruction on site is very'natural'. Originally, the yard was a place where homeless people and crowd suckers often come and go..." Old Mike said, "Forget about it, and never mention it again. the best."

"Ok."

In the abandoned yard at this time, the crime scene investigation team is still working. A middle-aged white scholar with a scholarly temperament is holding an ultraviolet lamp, squatting to study the blood stains on the ground manifested by the medicine.

"Jill, are you still going? It's late."

A woman took off her gloves and asked.

"I will think about it, think about it again..." the man murmured to himself, with his name on his chest, Gilbert Greyson.
