Chicago 1990

"Emmm..."

Song Ya, who returned to Malibu, played with the newly installed Windows 95 at will. It feels that the problem is big. This version is almost a leapfrog improvement over the previous 3.1. It's like...like a product of the next era. The concept of what you get is perfectly implemented, the operation is silky smooth, users don't need to learn too much, and even the boot prompt sound is much more pleasant.

The idea of ​​reducing Microsoft's holdings has been dismissed.

"We can't invest any more money for those three scammers, no more money!"

He is thinking about Microsoft and Netscape here, while Jimmy and Dr. Chen and Dr. Mei have been arguing for a long time. As for the issue of continuing to invest in 3DFX, Jimmy is resolutely opposed to the deceived party, while Chen and Mei are more inclined. Continue to invest money in it.

The three of them are the backbone of the A+ venture capital company. Dr. Chen, who has formally joined the company, is the president, Jimmy is in charge of legal affairs, and Dr. Mei is in charge of docking the 3DFX project. By the end of the year, a small number of clerks will be recruited for low-level work.

"They have received extensive support from the game industry. The ES version of the 3D acceleration chip will be produced in October. Now is the most critical two months. If you don't quickly make up the follow-up funds, the previous money will be spent."

Dr. May retorted: "Game companies are waiting to get that chip so that they can go back and develop new 3D games based on this, leading the game..."

"You were deceived! May, you are still young, have you gotten along with those three crooks in San Jose?"

Jimmy said loudly, "They are digging holes and waiting for us to jump at this point! Either continue to invest money, or go bankrupt to show you, right? They are eyeing the boss's money!"

The trio glanced at Song Ya subconsciously. At the Windows 95 press conference, Microsoft had nothing to say about the growing Internet tide. The next day, Netscape stocks soared. The powerful Microsoft did not compete, and investors were worried. Go, the seventy yuan mark at the opening of the market was broken again, and the momentum was so fierce as to go straight to a hundred dollars per share.

At $100 per share, the Netscape stock that Songya owns is worth more than 250 million...

Maybe the three guys at 3DFX have spotted this, and want to get money out of his fingers.

"Shhh! Can you keep your voice down? Miss Kelly needs a rest." Mariah Carey's female assistant came over and compared her finger to her mouth.

The Malibu villa is still too small, and the antique wooden doors are not very soundproof. Jimmy and the others expressed their sorry, "APLUS, uh, boss, what do you think?" Dr. Chen lowered his voice and asked.

"I don't know, money is a small problem, and I must not be a joke again."

Song Ya scratched his head in distress and looked towards the bedroom. After returning to Los Angeles, he and his wife had a big fight. Xingmeng Tearshen was also closed shortly after the cat and mouse game was closed. He took time to accompany her to 20th Century Fox during the day. The film was edited, some comments were made, and then the two sides immediately diverged.

The main focus is on her modeling in the first half of the movie. This autobiographical film tells her career and emotional story from obscurity to fame, so when he appeared on stage, he was probably 16 to 18 years old, in order to interact with the modeling area behind. To separate, she chose a ponytail style, sometimes a double ponytail, sometimes a single ponytail that is side-to-side.

Her forehead is relatively high, and the front of the pony tail is tied and there are no bangs left, which exposes the facial defects, and she uses her bad acting skills to wink her eyebrows, pretend to be young, and pretend to be cute.

Song Ya had already complained about this kind of modeling reality, and she was still obsessed with it, and then the proportion of the big screen increased...

It was a disaster.

She also narcissistically imitated Rita Hayworth's stunning appearance in the old movie Gildari, which was the crazy part of the prison inmates in Shawshank's salvation.

"Gilda, are you dressed up?" the man asked.

"Me?" Rita Hayworth shook her head before the camera.

And what she threw up was the side ponytail, on the back seat of the taxi...

What a fucking joy!

Song Ya trance saw her in the future A no no MV.

But Xingmeng Tears will definitely not be a comedy. Without DIVA, she would deliberately pretend to be ugly, and she is not so ugly. No matter how she persuaded Song Ya during the day, her stubbornness can't be dispelled. Women are just like this, in their eyes. No matter how beautiful I am, I don't allow others to say anything bad.

"This paragraph doesn't help the plot either..." Song Ya advised.

"I don't think I was very satisfied with this passage," she said.

"Cut it off, there is something wrong with your appearance."

"Where is the problem?"

"Single ponytail, you probe forward from the back seat, and the big screen will stretch your forehead very wide and very high..."

"I like this look very much, don't you like it?"

"I don't like..."

"Ok?"

"Uh, I like it, but the audience will look a little weird."

"Where is it?"

"It looks a little funny..."

"So you think I'm ugly?"

"I mean funny."

"You're saying I'm ugly, I understand!" She was angry, and then she fell into the reincarnation of the two previous quarrels, the subject was quickly crooked to the time she was caught and raped on the bed.

"You asked me to help you don't listen now! Just cut some shots!" Song Ya was very upset.

"What you cut is my youth, it's my girlhood!" She burst into tears.

I had to soften down, "Is it time to make up the shoot now? Call the director? Let's discuss it."

"Don't tell me! You said that you are willing to help and you fly around as soon as you have time! Didn't the make-up shoot have to overspend again? You called me the last time I couldn't control the project budget!"

"It's not the same thing! I'm making money! Didn't you see how powerful my Netscape stock is?"

"You don't care about me at all... Besides, I don't have time. The new album will be issued in September. The schedule is very tight."

"What else can I do, cut it off."

"Do not!"

"Cut it off! Don't blame me if you rush to the street after the movie is released."

"Don't cut it! Blame you!"

The more they quarreled, the more fierce they got. Song Ya turned to her agent, Sandy Glenn, asking for help. The old fox had spotted the direction of the wind a long time ago, "Just so APLUS, Mimi's first movie..."

In the end, the two returned home sulking each other. She was very busy and tired recently and went to bed after she slammed the bedroom door.

"To vote for 3DFX, or not to vote, you have to decide the boss right away. It has been a few days since 3DFX has stopped cooking." Dr. Chen said.

"Let them die!" Jimmy scolded.

"Emotions can't solve any problems." Dr. May retorted Jimmy. "The three of them are not that bad, otherwise the gamers like John Carmack would never cooperate with them."

"John Carmack has been fighting Microsoft recently."

"Microsoft is a software company. Although it has homogeneous API products with 3DFX, 3DFX ultimately depends on selling chips to make money."

"Trust me, when we invest in the ES version of the chip, and wait until the chip is mass-produced, maybe they will use the same trick to play us again, do you believe it? Of course they will be happy if they have money to burn. , If we die without giving money, maybe they can find a way, such as bank loans or something."

"They can't lend much."

"Aren't those big game players having a good relationship with them? They are not willing to invest?"

"The game industry is not so comfortable now. The competition between the game console and the game company is very fierce!"

Jimmy and Dr. May increased the volume unknowingly, "Stop, let's go to the beach and take a walk by the way." Song Ya was afraid that they would disturb Mariah Carey again, so they just took them out.

Stepping on the soft sand, Song Ya followed the three people who continued to debate without hurries.

"Dr. Chen, you are a member of my venture capital company, what do you think?" Song Ya asked.

"cast."

Dr. Chen replied firmly, "The 3D game field will create a demand for graphics cards. This has been well proven by the game console company. ATI is already one step ahead of us."

"FXXK!" Jimmy kicked the sand.

He is only in charge of legal affairs. Song Ya doesn’t want to learn from MJ and put all the business management rights in the hands of the lawyers, “but you can’t be foolish, right? Jimmy is right? Yesterday, Jim Clark reminded me that it’s better to put a halter on them. Maybe we can take this opportunity to force them to accept professional managers as presidents or even CEOs, and drive them back to concentrate on their skills."

"Maybe we still can't fully control the 3DFX board after this round of voting." Dr. Chen reminded him.

"That won't work, they are already standing on the edge of the cliff, the boss is a big deal losing five million, but they were instantly beaten back to the prototype from the kind of technology heroes like Mark Anderson, are we in a hurry or are they in a hurry?" Jimmy said.

What's the big deal? I lose five million. Hey!Song Ya rolled his eyes, but Jimmy's words really make sense, "You've been swaying a lot of ideas, Jimmy, is there any good way this time?"

"Even if they want to vote, we can't do any step-by-step public venture rounds, we directly force them to reduce their 3DFX shares to exchange money for us." Jimmy said.

"Also communicate, they are not willing." Dr. May said.

"Hmm, not necessarily."

Song Ya stepped up again, "Isn’t the projects of A+ VCs a realistic example? Palm’s Jeffrey Hawkins likes to concentrate on technology, and DTS’s Terry Beard, who is a chronic person who takes the Wall Street gang They were so procrastinated that they had to conditionally agree to postpone the listing..."

"Can it be delayed after only a few days?" Dr. Chen asked: "And if they really give in at the last minute, you will venture into the largest single shareholder. The industry generally avoids this situation."

"It's okay." Song Ya walked to the beach, "Drag and prepare the capital increase documents in advance. They refused to sign everyone's money. I lost 5 million. They went back to the technology company and continued to work for others."

"Then they may find other original investors to make money, and they are also trapped in 3DFX..."

"Don't worry, I don't want to vote now others don't dare to vote."
