Chicago 1990

Jim Keller left after all. Fortunately, the brand-new architecture he built for Voodoo chips will not be a problem in maintaining the performance of the industry's first camp within three to five years. At least 3DFXCEO Asaph said so.

"He feels that he has done all the creative work, and what is left is minor repairs and improvements, and performance improves with the progress of the process..." Asaph comforted the boss: "The Voodoo5X chip in the Microsoft XBOX console has also been taped out in TSMC. , Microsoft is very satisfied."

Microsoft is ambitious to enter the game console market. It ordered millions of customized versions of Voodoo5X in the first batch. 3DFX negotiated a good price and made a lot of money. At that time, it will be used in conjunction with Intel's customized Pentium 3CPU for Microsoft. This combination It is also a mainstream match in the PC market.

"Supply chain management, inventory, and cost control should be in line with Apple. Next year, there will be more big buyers like Microsoft. I don't want to see profit margins lose to rival NV."

Song Ya relayed the praise of Luis Roseto, the founder of Wired Magazine, on Apple's new supply chain management level, "Or simply find a way to dig their...like Cook."

"Ok...Okay, I will try my best." CEO Yasa agreed with sweat.

"Ok."

It was a pity that the trip to Silicon Valley did not retain the great gods. Song Ya did not have the energy to intervene in the internal management of 3DFX, and flew back to Chicago in a hurry.

General elections, general elections, general elections. There is nothing more important than the general election in the past few days. On the evening of November 7, 2000, the voting results of various states have been released...

The Gore polls went from leading by more than eleven points to being almost tied by George Jr. after the debate, adding countless suspense to this year’s Donkey Party’s supposedly stable general election. Various TV stations have also followed up and analyzed endlessly, such as A...

Today, station A sent McAvoy and Gordon to deploy the strongest lineup of two well-known guests. The real-time vote counting data of each state keeps rolling and analyzes who is the final winner based on new trends at any time.

"Illinois vote counting is over, Gore won Illinois!"

Blue Heights is a very stable donkey party vote warehouse, with up to 22 electoral votes. After Gordon announced the result of the vote count, the outside screen was immediately updated. The bar graph with 22 votes added represents Ge Er's blue took the lead sharply, and everyone outside cheered in unison when they saw it.

Song Ya is also one of them. Although the states he elected are also dominated by the Donkey Party, which is considered icing on the cake, but that can’t be helped. The basics of him and Donkey Party are already extremely overlapped, and the money is donated in place, and the media also help. Going all out, he has done all he has to do, and he has a clear conscience.

"Gore has taken New York State!"

"Gore has taken California again!"

California has the largest number of 54 electoral votes. Gore, the state where Hollywood and Silicon Valley are located, is more stable. Generally speaking, voters in a state with a larger urban population tend to favor donkey parties and count votes faster. Er maintained a long lead on the books.

But Song Ya and the others gradually became more solemn, because little George took almost all the southern and Midwestern rural states, and the red on the map was lit one by one, and the chasing momentum was very strong.

"Little George seems to have taken Tennessee? We are confirming."

Gordon was holding his headset. Station A was reluctant to add the 11 votes of Tennessee. This is Gore’s hometown and his base camp. He used to serve as a U.S. Representative for six years and a U.S. Senator for eight years. …

"FOX News has added Tennessee's votes!" Someone staring at other screens shouted, and Song Ya glanced at it. O'Reilly, the main anchor of FOXNews, the mouthpiece of the party, was excitedly announcing the victory of George Jr. in his opponent's lair.

"Bews and ABC stations also confirmed this result!" Someone reported in real time.

"I just want the ratings! Don't let the audience switch channels!"

Don’t go to the news station to count the votes slowly. The audience can wait impatiently. There are so many choices. Director A, Skinner, made a direct call into the studio. Soon, Gordon admitted that George Jr. had taken Tennessee. The screen of A’s vote was counted. The number of real-time votes was also updated accordingly.

"Damn...I have to rest."

This is almost equivalent to the iron vote directors who had been voted by the board of directors. It is embarrassing enough to be elected like this. Not only is Gore bitten by George Jr. This year, the House of Representatives, which was voted simultaneously, was re-elected, and the Donkey Party lost the majority of seats in the House of Representatives. It is almost irretrievable.

Song Ya and Sloan looked at each other, took a breath, and didn't want to stay in the sight of everyone.

He went to the empty conference room, made a glass of Chivas Regal with ice, and drank slowly.

Even though the relationship between Peter’s spoiler and Gore’s side this year has changed, but after Peter retired, he was wholeheartedly betting on Gore, waving the flag and shouting, real money, contributions, and rice stocks to rescue the market. Trust...

"hiss…"

Whiskey enters the throat, a bit spicy.

"The smoke rises from the country and looks north..."

The phone rang, it was Underwood.

"How is it?" The politicians can only watch TV to keep up with the latest situation. Underwood knows very well that he will not know it earlier than him, and now it is estimated that he just wants to find a friend to talk to.

"Gore lost Tennessee." Song Ya replied.

"I know…"

"I came out, I didn't look at the back, and my heart couldn't stand it," Song Ya said.

"Me too..." Underwood said.

"You? Should be okay?" Song Ya smiled: "Congratulations on your successful re-election as Congressman Underwood."

He was actually okay. He was re-elected without any suspense this year. Last year he resigned from the Donkey Party’s position as a whip in the House of Representatives and was a blessing in disguise. , To get the position of the minority party whip in the next House of Representatives, because the Donkey Party loses the House of Representatives, which means it loses the seat of Speaker, and his order will be promoted from third to second in the House of Representatives.

"You do not understand."

Underwood's heart is also overwhelmed. Gore's promised federal government position can't be used as a minority party whip in the House of Representatives. He can accept it, but the old factories in Chicago are environmentally friendly and relocated and transformed into super real estate projects in commercial districts and residential buildings. It was he who brought Gore’s funder to invest. If Gore doesn’t become the commander...

"Have you contacted Peter?" Fortunately, the younger brother Russell in the electoral district over the factory was re-elected, and Underwood skipped the topic.

"Today? No, Peter..."

Before Song Ya spoke, "Little George has taken West Virginia!" Sloan rushed in and shouted.

"OMG..." Underwood heard, West Virginia was also considered to be Al Gore's iron vote warehouse before the election. "This is equivalent to the loss of 13 electoral votes."

"call!"

As Song Ya took a deep breath, Sloan snatched the wine glass in his hand and threw his neck up to drink the remaining wine. "Little George also easily won the base camp Texas."

"Thirty-two electoral votes." Underwood said on the phone.

"And Michigan."

"Twelve..."

"Is it now..."

"Yes, it depends on Florida." Underwood and Sloan answered simultaneously.

"The governor of Florida is the younger brother of George!" Song Ya wailed.

"Not necessarily, the polls show that Gore will win there." Sloan said.

Then only Florida is left. When Song Ya and Sloan returned to the A station hall, the colors of the iron ticket states of the donkey and elephant were filled in red and blue. The gap between the unfinished votes was large enough without waiting for the final. As a result, when calculated, Gore leads 21 electoral votes, but Florida has 25 electoral votes.

At present, Gore leads the popular vote and George Jr. leads the state, but it doesn't matter. Whoever wins Florida will be the next U.S. leader.

"CUU said Gore won Florida!" Someone shouted: "The deputy commander has won the election!"

There was a burst of cheer in the hall. Song Ya was relieved, clenched his fist and waved fiercely, and was about to embrace Sloan who was equally happy, "No! No, no! Not enough!" Director A Skinner poured cold water loudly.

"Gore maintains the lead in Florida, but the lead is not enough to completely widen the gap with George Jr..."

McAvoy of Station A is still calmly reporting, "The counting of votes in urban polling stations is faster, and the Donkey Party has an advantage in the city, so Gore is currently in the lead. But rural voters generally support the Elephant Party, and there are still a few in Florida. Quite a lot of Cuban voters generally tend to support George Jr., which has been proven in the previous governor election..."

"FXXK! Hungry and sleepy, I went home. Let me know the result."

Skinner, McAvoy and Gordon are all old media people. Although Gordon has a clear stand in support of the Donkey Party, but he is not eloquent, so they are all patiently waiting for Florida's vote count data.

It was a long and boring wait. The bell rang at twelve o'clock in the evening. Seeing little George chasing after one decimal point and one decimal point, Song Ya cursed and flew away.

Also misled by the media to make a little Oolong is Gore’s campaign team. After the media announced their victory, they even used the jet streamers to celebrate the election. Now colorful streamers and colored paper spread all over the ground of the campaign headquarters. , But everyone had to wait nervously again for the final result of the counting of votes.

Only three states’ votes have not been counted. Oregon and New Mexico’s vote counting rate has always been the tail end. It is estimated that the official results will not come out in a few days, but Gore is sure to win, and now only Florida is left.

At two o'clock in the morning, Song Ya was in bed, and Gore was still waiting for the final vote count with his wife and daughter in his arms.

The pressure reached its peak with George's overtaking.

The smile on Gore's face is still perfect, but his mood has fallen to the bottom.

"This is impossible! The Georgian dynasty must have voted in Florida!" The people on the campaign team shouted: "We must recount the votes!"

Little Daly's brother, the campaign manager drank his eloquent subordinates.

A: ‘Florida has completed 98% of the vote count. If nothing else, George Jr. will take this state, which means that he will become the 43rd leader of Amerika! ’

FOXNews: ‘Little George won Florida with 29,000 popular votes! ’

The major news channels confirmed this result to the world.

"CUU has also changed his mind. The deputy commander leads the students." The campaign headquarters was silent, and the campaign manager, legal counsel and others gathered around, looking disappointed.

"We can't admit this result! Little George's brother of the governor of Florida must have voted! The previous polls show..." The internal part became two factions, and some people refused to admit defeat.

"What to do?" The campaign manager, little brother Daly asked for instructions.

"This year we lost the House of Representatives, and the Senate is also from the Elephant Party, this lame leader..."

Halfway through Gore's speech, everyone who knew him understood his choice.

"But two percent of the votes left have not been drawn..." Little Daly's brother said.

"Be polite, so... what should we do now?" Gore asked.

"Call little George to congratulate, and then announce to the public that he has lost the election..."

"Okay, that's it." Gore was dizzy and tried his best to maintain his demeanor, slapped the subordinates who followed him to the present, and walked to the phone in the office.

Everyone looked at his lonely back, and bowed their heads uncomfortably.

‘Little George’s campaign office confirmed that they received a congratulatory call from Gore, and they officially announced their election! ’

"Mom." Song Ya sat up and looked at the TV before falling down again.

"Ms. Sloan, let's start as we previously agreed, to create news that Alicia and I have already started the divorce process." Peter was drunk at home, and then dialed Sloan's phone.

"What shall we do now?" Claire asked her husband Underwood indifferently.

"Continue to go back to Capitol Hill to be my party whip." Underwood smiled bitterly, "Maybe this is fate."

"Damn it! Damn it!" New Jersey, Senator Bill Bradley angrily emptied his desk. All political transactions are now empty. "Daly, what do we do now!?" He was right. The mayor of Chicago, Jr. Daly on the other end of the phone yelled.

"The world like the party... the next four years we can only take care of ourselves. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Little Daly replied quietly, "What else can we do?"

"Not necessarily! Not necessarily Mayor Daley!" At this time, his men rushed in, "Florida has not finished the ballots, and Gore is catching up again. Now the gap between the two sides is only a few thousand votes!"

"WTF?" Little Daly immediately hung up Bradley's call and called his brother.

"There is a change! Stop! Stop!"

At this time, Gore’s motorcade was only two blocks away from the Tennessee State Capitol where the campaign headquarters was located, where he was preparing to give a speech on defeat. Little brother Daly shouted to the driver, “The number of votes is wrong, and we start to overtake again. Up!"

Gore opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to do.

‘The latest news is that Florida’s vote counting has changed again. With the large number of votes cast for Gore, the gap between the two sides is now only a few thousand...’

McAvoy continued to broadcast. In addition to FOX, Channel A and other news channels have removed the marquee that announced George’s victory, and changed it back to the result to be determined...
