Chicago 1990

"Did you get hair removal?"

In Tribeca’s study at three o’clock in the morning, Song Ya was awakened by the voice of Xixisuo Suo, opened her eyes and looked over. Alicia was bending her back to herself and carrying her skirt. The sofa was not high, and her sight was just as smooth as the other party. His long legs were even, so he reached out and touched it.

"what!"

Alicia didn't expect that he would wake up and let out a short exclamation, "Hate, APLUS, women don't want to discuss this topic with men."

"Okay, sorry."

I watched the mature woman maintain a very good figure and was covered by the cold wind lawyer professional skirt, "It's only three o'clock, you are going to the hotel?"

"Sloan lives next door to me, I don't want to be noticed by her."

She got dressed, pulled her long hair out of her collar with both hands, put on the watch on the table, picked up her bag, and put a folder under her armpit. The venting wildness when she was alone disappeared instantly. Incarnate as an elite lawyer back in the day, "See you at the New York Main Station in the afternoon?"

"Morning, Dingkins wants to talk to me."

Song Ya seemed to hesitate when she saw her holding the doorknob, "Mavota outside the door is one of my most trusted bodyguards. He will take you to the hotel properly without being discovered by the reporters. "

"OK." She opened the door safely and walked out.

Song Ya yawned comfortably on the sofa. The woman in her thirties had a different taste. He closed his eyes for a while, and then the corners of his mouth rose. He didn't expect Alicia to be still wearing That kind of old-fashioned white conservative underwear is a bit funny. Let Linda go to Victoria's Secret to buy some trendy styles and give it to her. Well, that's it. After the actual measurement, I already know the size...

Netscape’s first thrilling trading day was quite a stimulus to him. One day, after only one day, he was worth nearly 150 million more in his stocks alone. He recalled last night. Watching TV news.

Jim Clark should have done public relations in the financial and technology media. Most of the touted targets were on Mark Anderson, who is the hero of science and technology, while the entertainment gossip media talked more about themselves. They separated themselves from the crowd when the bell was ringing. The editing is in the center of the picture, and titles such as the youngest and most successful singer investor in history are worn on their heads without money, and every station is saying good things.

Johnson's BET made a special program urgently. Gordon, who was still there as a guest host, just stood on the last post. He naturally praised the new boss desperately. Some words sounded a bit numb in my ears...

These guys don't want to think about it. The stock stuff is likely to drop people back to the original. What should I do when I blow myself too full?

I don’t know if Netscape’s stock can recover the 60 yuan mark on this trading day today, or continue to go down...

Oh, by the way, yesterday, I also released a clip from a movie called The New Apocalypse. Xiao Lizi seems to be still the star. He is older and his appearance is not as good as now. I don’t know how many years later it was filmed, but it seems there is One thing is certain: he will grow red...

Thinking about it, Song Ya fell asleep.

"The singing career will still be the focus of my life. The new album will be released on my birthday in October, and the next single will be on the charts in a few days. As for investment... it's just investment, I didn't help. What is the decisive thing for Netscape’s success? Here I just want to express my gratitude to Mark Anderson. The talented programmer is also an entrepreneur with great ideas and hardworking spirit for the future of the entire networking industry..."

Before setting off for the Inner City Broadcasting Company’s New York main station, he was interviewed by reporters who had been guarding the whole night downstairs. After the successful listing, Netscape’s needs changed, and Jim Clark decided to retreat behind the scenes with Bucksted. , To concentrate on making Mark Anderson the next science and technology hero that attracts the attention of the world, and he also gets new tasks to cooperate.

"You asked me and Mark? Uh... We met very early, at that time... about 1993? The IT engineers in my record company occasionally went to UIUC to find friends. One day they took me there too, just to play Play. At that time, Mark was a student there. We met at the National Supercomputer Application Center. He showed me the mosaic browser he was involved in programming. At the time, it was still called by that name. I can’t remember... …"

"Of course, it is false to say that I am not excited. I personally did not expect the stock price to reach such a high level at the opening."

"No, no, it's not too high. Netscape browser currently has a market share of 85%. I heard that there are other statistics above 90? That is equivalent to almost all web visitors need to do One thing is to open our browser...our software sold millions of copies in half a year, and we will continue to work towards the intranet..."

"The Internet represents the future. Although I don't know much about it personally, I agree with Mark's view. The foretelling in the article by Negroponte is not far from us. The 21st century is at hand..."

It seems that many serious social and financial media have been mixed into the entertainment reporters who are used to working together. Song Ya waved his hand and ended the interview when the problem turned to professional issues such as profitability and new products.

"APLUS, what do you think will be the performance of Netscape's stock price today?" A reporter asked.

"Sorry, I never cared about these short-term fluctuations." Song Ya replied.

"Are you a value investor? Then will you get rid of all or part of the Netscape stocks you own after the ban is lifted? The lock-up period is half a year, right?"

"Let's see the company announcement, it's all there." Song Ya got into the car.

When the New York main station appeared, the black employees began to applaud him with a look of admiration as soon as they appeared in the front lobby.

"Thank you, thank you, it's okay."

He raised his hand like a big boss and waved, "Pierre." Shaking hands with the general manager Pierre Sutton who came out.

"You disappeared in a blink of an eye yesterday. Don't like Wall Street parties?"

Pierre Sutton smiled flatteringly, "Oh, yes, did you hear that? Sugnat really fished out 2PAC. Yesterday, it seemed that he paid 2PAC a parole fee of more than one million."

"It came out with the money?" Song Ya was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Sugonite to really get things done. How long was 2PAC in prison?It is now impossible to come out according to the normal parole process.

"Yes, it is rumored that Sugnat changed the girl who told 2PAC, so..." Pierre Sutton said.

That's right, and I don't know how Sugnett got the accuser girl, about his blood gang, Song Ya shook his head, "It's none of my business anyway."

"You have switched to the upper-level route now, and you are no longer involved in the topical singer Beef. I feel that 2PAC is already more popular than you in the lower-level group." Pierre Sutton was a little anxious for the new boss, "He agreed. Sugnet’s conditions for helping to find people have changed the singer's appointment from the record to the death row record. Together, the new album will be released soon, and it will be against you."

"I don't care about this."

There is no overlap between his new album and the gang rap. They are all apocalyptic strong singles, and Song Ya is confident.

"Mr. Dingkins, APLUS is here."

The two talked as they walked, and Pierre took him to the tiny room where Dingkins stayed, closed the door and left.

"Congratulations, boy, wow..."

Dingkins shook hands enthusiastically while looking at him with admiration, repeatedly admiring, "How did you do this? At your age, I can't even give examples of white people of the same age..."

"Everything has not been finalized on Mr. Dingkins, it was just yesterday's stock price." Song Ya said modestly.

"Don't worry, the entire Internet industry and the investors behind it will not let Netscape's stock price fall into a joke, sit down."

Only Dingkins and himself were in the room, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Straighten out the Inner City Broadcasting Company?" Song Ya replied: "I already have a plan to split some, sell some, and then withdraw part of the business..."

"Let go and do it, we all trust you." Dingkins now looks at him and his eyes have evolved to be petting, "You will not encounter any resistance to reform here."

"That's great, thank you Mr. Dingkins."

"Don't thank me, you are worthy."

The two then talked about the specific management of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, "Linda will probably be my board representative, but she will be busy with the recording booth, so sometimes Dr. Chen and Alicia will help me. Make up your mind, of course, they will not come forward directly."

Song Ya didn't want to risk being criticized by the outside for allowing a Chinese and a white woman, especially a white woman like the Governor of Illinois's wife, to intervene in a purely African company.

"No problem, it's not in the 1950s anymore. Your original intention is different from that of your ancestors. Sutton and other executives will understand and help you keep it secret."

Before the racial discrimination policy was introduced in the 1960s, the laws of some states in the United States directly stipulated which businesses blacks could not intervene, such as banking and real estate. At that time, two African-American businessmen in Texas had to hire a white blue-collar worker to help them negotiate business and Signing the contract, both of them are very rich, but they have to disguise themselves as the butler and driver of the white man without a name. This is also considered humiliating.

"Right." Dingkins asked: "Have you joined the Brotherhood at the University of Chicago?"

"Brotherhood? No, I never live in school, and I never participate in social activities in school."

U.S. University has a strong tradition of brotherhoods and sisterhoods. There are many different brotherhoods. Some elite societies have high entry barriers, high energy, and wide contacts after graduation. Some are more Buddhist and have less contact after graduation. Personal wishes can basically be frugal, and it is considered a social activity that everyone needs to participate in. The only difference is between good and bad in the fraternity. There is no one who does not try to go.

Of course, a celebrity like himself has almost received invitations from all fraternities, but he declined, because it is said that almost all fraternities have the bad habit of bullying newcomers, especially in the initiation ceremony, seniors will design various insulting so-called so-called The test of membership is to screen out those who join in sincerely, and there are often bullying scandals.

"Oh, that's not okay." Dingkins asked: "Is there any boy who doesn't join the Brotherhood."

"I planned to think about this after passing all the core courses. The elimination rate of the University of Chicago is quite high. I don’t want to be distracted for the time being. You know, I can spend too little time on my studies. ."

Song Ya also knows that there are some powerful brotherhoods all over the country. Joining will have a lot of benefits for future contacts, but isn't he a billionaire now?The so-called contacts do not join any fraternity.In addition, the University of Chicago has more students who just concentrate on studying, and the tradition in this area has not been as strong as those of the Ivy League schools. He used this excuse to try a hundred spirits.

Moreover, joining a brotherhood generally also represents what kind of political inclinations he has. This matter needs to be carefully considered and figured out.

"That won't work. How about joining my brotherhood? OmegaPsiPhi, we have a branch at the University of Chicago." Dingkins asked, "Have you heard of it?"

"of course."

OmegaPsiPhi was founded in Howard University where Dingkins was studying. It only accepts African Americans. Michelle’s husband seems to be a member. In addition to Dingkins, there are celebrities such as Jesse Jackson and Michael Jordan.

"Then join us, let me call Chicago?"

Dingkins wished to get things done right away.

"Uh, all right, you hit it."

Song Ya turned to think about that she actually didn't have many choices. After all, it was not suitable to join a white brotherhood. There were too few reliable associations for blacks. "But I don't have time to participate in club activities, especially the initiation ceremony of any ghost." Remind each other specifically.

"Don't worry, as long as you can help out some of the money for the party of the University of Chicago branch boys, you are the local boss." Dingkins dialed happily.
