Chicago 1990

"Ali! Ouuuuu..."

Aunt Susie and Tony both came to pick up the plane. Song Ya smiled at the return of the king and accepted his hugs and crying, "Alright, aunt, I'm almost falling apart."

"Woohoo..."

Aunt Susie hurriedly let go of him and wiped her tears with her hand, "We all thought you couldn't wake up, Alex..."

"Hey!"

Tony smiled and stretched out his fist, Song Ya raised his hand with difficulty and touched him lightly.

Relatives tacitly did not mention what happened during the coma, including Connie who was bluffing, "The wind at the airport is too strong, and APLUS cannot be exposed for too long." But Sloan still didn't want to give her a chance to speak and saw Connie. He opened his mouth and said immediately.

"Okay, then we... we get in the car, Alex, I will help you... I will."

Tony eagerly squeezed the paramedics to work, combined with the muffler, and easily carried a wheelchair to the ambulance.

Song Ya's black Mercedes-Benz team hurried forward and then drove on the roads of Chicago as they did more than five months ago. Nothing seems to have been changed.

"Thank you, doctor."

When the wheelchair got stuck in the car, Song Ya showed a more sincere smile and thanked the attending physician at the University of Chicago Medical Center. This is one of the real benefactors. Even though the patient was in a coma for four months, he still stood up to Goodman. Their pressure may also be private temptation, and they did not provide proof of their continued vegetative state.

The income and social status of doctors and professors in such top hospitals are very high, and the professional ethics are still very guaranteed. There is no reason not to continue using them when returning to Chicago.

"Ashamed, Princeton cured you." The other party said sourly.

After four months of treatment here, I became sober in the month I went to House. The perception of the outside world...

In short, the University of Chicago Medical Center is suffering.

"Haha, they are just lucky, I will donate a lot of money to you." Song Ya pledged cheerfully.

The motorcycle paparazzi chasing all the way and the reporter waiting at the door were disappointed. The ambulance kept going all the way and drove smoothly into the Highland Park. The TV station helicopter also hovered far in the air outside the rich area.

"APLUS!" Another great hero, O'Grady of Northern Trust, was already in the lobby. He was speaking with Ballard, the president of 3DFX, and other director representatives. He saw himself joking affectionately, "What? This is restored. working already!?"

"How to do it?"

Song Ya smiled bitterly, but he didn't see the trio of liars who had brought his anger to life.

Some face-to-face white men and women gathered in the villa, probably Xue Linfen’s relatives, but now he has no energy and doesn’t want to talk to these people. They met Tony and Connie’s enemies, and they looked bad at each other. Did not tear it on the spot.

Song Ya gave old Mike a look, and the old man properly invited these people to the outside swimming pool.

Including O'Grady, everyone looked at themselves with curious eyes, "Please wait a moment, I'll get down right away."

After a few words of greeting, Tony and the muffler and the nursing staff carried him to the second floor. A nurse had already arranged a room as a rehabilitation ward. He went in and looked at it and expressed satisfaction. Linda pushed himself to the master bedroom. The doorway.

"Tony." Linda stared, drove Tony away, then pushed Song Ya into the door.

"Sansa, see who is coming!"

When the bedridden Xue Linfen saw him, tears couldn't stop, and when his wheelchair reached the bed, she lifted the eldest daughter who had only been a few days in front of him with a pitying expression.

"Very beautiful... as beautiful as you, oh oh oh." Song Ya didn't have the strength to hold it, and smiled at the wrinkled baby, rubbing her nose with the tip of her nose. "Is it Sansa? It's so cute."

"I'm sorry...I...I don't have the energy to care about Goodman and the others..." Xue Linfen took the opportunity to explain pitifully.

"none of your business……"

"Daddy!" The nanny brought in Robb and Jon. Robb jumped on his lap affectionately, "Why are you thin!"

"Ok."

Song Ya played with them for a while, "You take a good rest, Xue Lin, I will go down for a meeting first."

"Do you have to work just after you come back?" Xue Linfen asked.

"Ok."

It turned out that two plainclothes police detectives from the Chicago Police Department were mixed in the group of director representatives. Song Ya went downstairs and said, "We need you to confirm and sign, Mr. APLUS."

After being shot and rioted, Chicago politicians were very nervous about the troubles on their side. The aunt and son of Xue Linfen’s family who looked at the keys stole a lot of things and wanted to get the money back. He was stupid and unfamiliar in life. The police who were staring at this side almost got the money.

"Okay. Sloan."

Song Ya glanced at the yellow Oscar figurines and other valuables in the transparent plastic bag, and once again asked Sloan to help him hold the pen, dragging his arms crookedly to sign the police documents.

O'Grady and the other 3DFX people watched the scene sympathetically, "Should we come back in a few days? APLUS." O'Grady said.

"Huh?" Song Ya softened his hand, and made the last stroke. "No, I'll be fine."

The two plainclothes didn't say anything, took out the plastic bag, checked the documents with Song Yahe one by one, and left. It seemed a bit of a violation of police procedures, but the big people should have taken care of it. It was just a small problem.

"Ha! APLUS, we just moved the baseball arcade machine to the basement for you. It's fun, really!"

The trio of scammers finally appeared heartlessly, chatting joyfully about how a large arcade machine is fun. They should be the same as the previous few times and sent one free of charge.

It’s okay as a human being. Song Ya didn’t answer them. “Let’s have a meeting in the lobby. Sorry, I don’t have a big meeting room here.

Dr. Chen and Dr. Mei have been following 3DFX for a long time and have already understood very well. In general, Goodman also wanted to make a private profit from the last round of financing before the IPO just like the American music website. They rejected it. Since Dr. Chen's A+ venture capital firm was separated from the ground floor, Goodman did not bother to make any small moves.

3DFX went public smoothly a month ago. The stock price fluctuated from 1.7 yuan per share at the close of the market on the first day.

Other short-selling points are basically prepared by the investment community before the 3DFX listing. The main black swan incident is actually a lawsuit with Sega. Now Sega has publicly stated that future game consoles will not use Voodoo graphics cards, so future profit expectations will be one. If the lawsuit that violates the confidentiality agreement in the prospectus is defeated, 3DFX is likely to go bankrupt.

"Why do you disclose information related to Sega's confidentiality agreement in the prospectus?" Song Ya asked.

The entire board of directors looked at the CTO of the founder trio, CTO Scott, "Writing is good for the stock price. At that time, we thought Sega didn't dare to do anything. They had no other GPU choice except Voodoo chip." He shrugged and answered.

Unfortunately, Sega did a secret two-handed preparation called Horse Racing. The codenamed "Skunk" project in the U.S. uses the PowerPC603e made by IBM and Motorola as the CPU, and the customized version of Voodoo2 of 3dfx is used as the GPU. Dadao' plans to use the CPU developed by Toshiba and the GPU developed by NEC.

The intention of Sega executives was probably to develop in parallel, and the last solution was easy to use, but I did not expect 3DFX to break the news in order to boost the stock price...

Sega was furious and simply rejected the'Skunk' plan completely.

This is the problem with the trio of scammers. They are not bad people and have good character skills, but they like to go crookedly and are very courageous. For example, the first time they ran a computer show, they used Sgi’s graphics workstation as their own graphics card. I lied to myself and also lied to the eyes of all people in the industry and outside the industry.

"So now we have to restore Sega to restore the stock price?" Song Ya asked quietly.

"It is unnecessary. Sega cooperated with us to steal technical secrets and disclosed the technical details of Voodoo2 to the'Broad Sword' project team. We will soon launch a countersuit against them, and they will not win the lawsuit in the United States." Said of Ross.

Song Ya didn't know this section. Fortunately, Ross added, "We just got conclusive evidence just for the past two days."

"Can you win 100%?" O'Grady asked.

"One hundred percent, the stock price will go up when the news about them accompany us with money comes out." Rose is sure: "We will let those short sellers cry and go home to find their mother."

"Probably how much can we lose? We and Sega are both at fault, right?" Sloan asked.

"Twelve million? The lawyers predicted that." President Ballard replied.

"What's the use? Are you all not interested in Sega's order? That is a game console that can compete with Sony's next-generation PS." Song Ya asked other board members annoyedly.

"It's a few years later." The representative of the board of directors on behalf of Carmack said: "Sega's image in the eyes of American consumers is not good. Products such as 32X, SegaCD and Saturn are not successful, and they are still torturing distributors, inexplicably. ."

According to Dr. Chen’s summary, John Carmack, who made Thor’s Hammer and other games, dislikes 3DFX half-heartedly. His interest is to support 3DFX to build the top 3D platform for his new IdSoftware game, and he also likes to dig 3DFX’s Top talent.

Song Ya looked at the representatives of EA, they are Sega's strategic partners.

"It's good to be able to work with Sega, but now... things are already like this."

EA company undoubtedly wants to deepen the relationship with Sega, but they also have conflicts with Sega, because the license cannot be negotiated, and Sega is also supporting his competitors in order to share the risk, such as a company that also makes sports games.

"APLUS, which side are you on? Netscape? Microsoft?"

Ross suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Now everyone knows that you have been quietly buying Microsoft stocks, so you also support Sega. His next-generation game console will use Microsoft's customized version of WindowsCE operating system. If you support Sega, Netscape Would be unhappy."

"Ha ha……"

Song Ya was a little embarrassed by the eyes of other people eating melons. Game, companies and countries are constantly gambling, no one will completely hand over the back to other people, but why he has always trusted ancient times before. Where is Deman? He was a little sullen, "Everyone will share the risk, don't I understand?"

The board of directors continued to open, and Song Ya did not rush to raise the issue of firing the trio. They are the founders and they all have board seats. They have good relations with EA and Carmack. Dr. Chen believes that it is impossible for him to get enough votes. .

Song Yakan Xiang and himself were deceived by the trio from the very beginning, and until now, the director representative of the second largest individual shareholder who has been tossed to death, only himself and them remain in the group. In the board of directors, the interests of both parties are absolutely the same, and even the other party's dissatisfaction is even worse. They initiated the previous joint audit with other investors.

There are also several representatives of the directors of investment institutions. Of course, these people do not want to lose Sega's big business.

"How about we fight for another Sega?" Song Ya asked.

"Bow your head? You are too young, you may not feel APLUS in the 80s, the books are very vicious when they are in a strong position, don't look at them now that they are much better..." said Ballard, the president.

"Is there a way? APLUS?" A director of an investment institution expressed interest.

"No! No! We never bow our heads!"

Ross shouted, "We are the world's top 3D display chip company! The best! Let them use NEC's rotten chips! Without our Voodoo2, they would definitely be killed by Sony!"

When he mentioned Sony, Song Ya wanted to befriend Sega even more...

"Is there a big business not to do?" The director representative of the second largest individual shareholder quarreled with Rose.

In and out of the story, the trio seemed to have some simple national pride in the book. Maybe the book’s insistence on retaining its own chip-based "big knife" plan is the same. Their semiconductor industry has now been consolidated by the United States. It was very miserable, but the heart seemed to be still there.

"Let's rest first and continue driving tomorrow."

Song Ya soon felt tired, and the others had no choice but to say goodbye and come back tomorrow. He woke up, then he was still the chairman of the company.

"Netscape should really not be able to do it this time. Unless there is a miracle, it will win Microsoft's monopoly and APLUS within a year." After sending people away, O'Grady came back and reminded, "Of course it is my personal opinion. You are better at it."

"Ok."

How could it be possible that his little Barn case can be easily delayed for a year if he wants to.

Song Ya was carried to the study again, staring at Linda and returning the Oscar trophies and other lost stolen goods to their original places. Xue Linfen was not stupid yet, so she locked photos and documents and other important items into the safe in advance, and her personal computer. Also put away.

I already have two children with her, and it's not easy to get too stiff...

"Why don't you invest in Microsoft? Let Microsoft help with public relations Sega." O'Grady suggested again.

"Is there anything that Microsoft can admire?"

Song Ya didn’t think that Microsoft would be happy by selling the Netscape stocks. It’s not a level. Netscape is just one of the many enemies of the software giant. It might be possible to put the effect a year earlier. Now Microsoft’s IE is already bundled for free. Under the strategy.

"3DFX's GlideAPI is a competitor of Microsoft D3D, although the contradiction has not yet intensified." Dr. Chen joined the discussion.

"Bet..." It's okay not to say ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After saying that Song Ya is more hesitant, Glide currently has an advantage in 3D and is the lifeblood of the trio and 3DFX.

"TheGreat, if you want to reverse the situation quickly, you can only play the big game APLUS, and fast, maybe it will make the short-sellers suffer." Sloan said: "If we can turn the tide on this matter, we will treat you in the 3DFX board of directors. Prestige has great benefits."

Song Ya saw Linda put the photo frame on the table again, staring at the face of Gates' father in the photo with the giants for a while, "Who can contact this old man?" he asked.

"Introduce, the lawyers of Preston, Gates and Ellis Law Firm (PGE) Chicago branch, they will be responsible for part of the legal work of my company in the future."

The next day, Song Ya introduced the two strange whites to the 3DFX board of directors. This is the lawyer of Quanmi's TOP10 law firm. There is no more powerful one. "We also met for the first time, and we just signed a contract."

"They will..." President Ballard asked hesitantly.

"Yes, replace Goodman and Hamlin." Song Ya replied in a wheelchair, "Please sit down."

"Wow, mobility, APLUS." Rose teased.

"I have decided, I will personally take someone to the notebook, just two days." Song Ya ignored him, "Finally fight for Sega, PGE will fix my ban on going abroad as soon as possible."

"NO!" The trio protested in unison.

"No nonsense, vote. Okay, passed."

At the same time, Nasdaq, Infoseek and other Netscape stock prices suddenly collapsed, and traders were dumbfounded, looking at the straight downward curve with their heads, dumbfounded.
