Chicago 1990

"Jude Law……"

Standing under the boarding ladder of Gulfstream 4sp, Song Ya hesitated and said to his wife: "I don't know. Although the director is secretly supporting him, he should not be able to compete with Jared Leto. Leto is well-known among the American youth group. Box office appeal, this alone can add a lot of points to Bowei and Disney executives. Hollywood always prefers to use market-proven people. After all, they are the male protagonist of 20 million productions, and Linton cannot ignore the parent company. And the issuer’s opinion."

"Edward Norton? The play is best useless, the person is not handsome enough, and the character does not attract Johnny Carson and they like it."

"Of course Christian Bale is also very handsome, and the play is also good. I heard that he also deliberately lost weight for this audition, but he is already an actor who can be a male lead in other projects. The cost of the film is the most expensive. The guy in Linton is wrong. He likes to cut his budget very hard, and most of the scenes in the cat and mouse game are concentrated in the area around the age of 17 of the male protagonist. He looks a bit mature..."

After the audition was over, the two of them were very busy, and it was time to separate temporarily, "But you don't let the Xingmeng Tears film crew go to Jude Law now. You must wait until the results come out. Official announcement? That's not necessary, wait for Ye. Remov will do as long as he informs, and he will get things done."

"You know I'm very nervous about this debut..."

Mariah Carey hugged him reluctantly, "I really don't want you to leave me, even for one day."

"I don't want to..."

Song Ya was a little moved, "Okay, just go to San Francisco to do business."

The preparatory work of the winery is almost complete. First, only one vodka was launched. The start-up fund came from the soft sister coin cash of a+ Apparel's joint venture garment factory in China. The money was exchanged for a+ Winery in Northeast China. Some of the shares of the joint venture winery will subsequently be put in place by loans from the local bank and imported wine-making equipment purchased by Songya for five million meters.

"I wish us success."

Song Ya signed legal documents in San Francisco and his two professional managers, Riise and Scout, and officially settled the matter.

There were no reporters. Apart from accountants and legal staff, they were basically from the Songya business empire. The final product of Grey Goose Vodka was still very early. The glass of wine we raised together came from Martell Silver from Seagram. Zun Cognac.

"I wish success."

Everyone laughed and drank.

"Is there anything else on the a+ clothing side?"

Song Ya asked Scott and glanced at Damon Dash, who was greeted by Tony and others outside the office. Known as the most cunning street kid in Brooklyn, New York, he started running errands behind him. Riise and the a+ wine executives who dug from Seagram look down on him, so they are in an awkward situation.

"Everything is going well. We are currently recruiting tellers all over the country. In addition to regular employees, I also want to imitate the students and idle workers who use gap for short-term jobs."

The cooperation was concluded, and the conflict between Scout and Riiser came to an end. He said excitedly: "This can effectively reduce our operating costs."

"Well, don't be too aggressive."

Song Ya nodded. Chain companies in various industries like gap and McDonald’s with stores all over the rice like to hire students who are part-time workers, adults and even parole offenders. A large proportion of students in the US will work in these companies before they go out of society. Can reduce costs, of course, if management can't keep up, it is easy to cause problems.

"Relax, boss."

Scout is ambitious. He applied for a patent for the two-piece suit invented by employees of Huaguo Garment Factory in Mi. This year he is waiting for a blockbuster.

"You are professional."

Song Ya didn't want to point fingers at his specific work, especially after he had just reluctantly given a large amount of soft sister currency cash to a+ Wine Industry, only to exchange it for the shares of the winery still in the sky.

"What then? What else?" he asked Linda.

"Jim Clark of Netscape invites you to attend the reception before the official version of Netscape browser is released." Linda looked at the schedule and said, "Then you can go to Dilena if time permits."

"Okay, I get it, then let's go."

A group of people went to the headquarters of Netscape. Today, there are a lot of big names, Morgan Stanley's senior management, and the software industry such as Sun (Sun Microelectronics) senior management, etc. The department led by Mark Anderson gained Silicon Valley by programming technology. The collective affirmation with the software industry is now a big hit.

"Aplus, come, stand by my side."

Jim Clark and the others were taking a group photo, and they saw Song Ya who had just arrived and greeted very affectionately, "We need you haha!"

Song Ya didn't know if the other party was alluding to taking advantage of her own good fortune, or because all the white people present wanted to make the photos look more diverse, "I'm honored."

As a minority shareholder, he naturally doesn't mind standing for his own business. He used to put his arms around his shoulders with Jim Clark and Mark Anderson and took pictures together.

"Aplus, chat?"

After the photo was taken, the cocktail party began. The most common species in Silicon Valley is programmers who are not good at interpersonal. Many people gather in front of the buffet and chat about code while eating.

The people at Morgan Stanley took the new president of Netscape to come to know him, "Quatson, this is Bucksted."

"Hello, Mr. Quatterson."

Song Ya knows that this is the Wall Street tycoon who underwrites Netscape's ipo (initial public offering)...I don’t know if it is a tycoon. He doesn’t know much about Wall Street and Morgan Stanley for the time being. Mr. De." He paid attention to the president quietly, "I have heard your speech the other day, it was very wonderful."

"Really? Do you agree with my point of view?" Bucksted looked at Song Ya with interest.

"Uh, I don't quite understand, but you attacked Bill Gates' Windows Futurism theory, thinking that the Internet represents the future? I want to listen to it in detail." Song Ya laughed: "Mr. Gates is my idol. I also made some money. Ballmer seems to be very upset with your statement."

"Haha, is there anything Microsoft made by itself? Nothing. Even msdos bought from others. They all relied on ibm to start their business. If it wasn't for Gates's mother who was an ibm executive..."

Bucksted is a madman. Of course, how many of his remarks are true, and how many of his statements are based on the deliberate suspicion of the giants of the porcelain industry, but he is really crazy, "I don’t even bother to refute Ballmer’s crappy third-rate salesman. ."

Song Ya laughed. Ballmer was a top Harvard student with a full score of sat. "This is the first time I have heard this kind of evaluation."

"He is an idiot."

Backsted scolded Microsoft for eloquence, and his words were pungent and funny, he should be a good marketing hand.

Song Ya and Quatson smiled and waited for him to finish, "The official version of Netscape is priced at $45. What do you expect the sales will do? After all, it is not much different from the free public version..."

Quatterson is mainly concerned about software sales. At present, Wall Street still values ​​corporate profitability. "If the market responds well, this will be a boost before we go public. On the contrary..."

"It will be very good. Don't worry, the market share of our browser is there. As long as a certain percentage of users are willing to spend money on the official version, the sales volume can reach millions..."

Backsd boasted, "45 dollars, just...aplus your two albums."

"Uh, three. My album currently sells for less than $20, or later collections will sell for $19.99." Song Ya answered honestly.

"Haha, yes, yes."

Bacchus complimented.

Song Ya felt that the high-tech industry executives who were present kept looking at him, and then whispered to the people around him, "What happened to them?" he asked.

"Nothing, maybe you are not used to having hip-hop stars appearing as shareholders of software companies."

Quatterson explained casually, "Where is your dts going? Ipo is led by Goldman Sachs, right?"

"Uh, I don't know if Fang is inconvenient to say."

I don’t know Wall Street and I know that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are in a competitive relationship. “Personally, I feel a little bit slower than here. Mr. Jim Clark always tells me that it’s as slow as a snail.”

"Haha, indeed, the audio industry is relatively niche."

Quatterson laughed: "And there is a time bomb on dts, right?"

"Yes, ibm, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Compaq, and Apple formed a special team to evaluate the SD camp and the rival DVD camp where dts is located. Although I don't know what it is about them, it combines the recent auto trade with the notebook. In the battle, maybe the winner will be next month. I heard that they will come to an official conclusion next month."

Song Ya truthfully replied that the auto trade war between the U.S. and the book is now very fierce, and no matter whether the sd or dvd camp dominates there are book companies, it is strange that the U.S. companies do not take the opportunity to make a profit.

"What if it's bad for dts?" Quatterson asked: "dvd standard odds of winning, right?"

"I don't know about this. UU reading www.ukahnshu.com"

Song Ya drank a sip. He actually knew that if SD fails, DTS and Goldman Sachs are going to put the main focus of Ipo on the acquisition, explaining to investors that the money raised will be used to acquire patents within the DVD standard. For some companies, it's a last resort strategy.

"Dila, we have a new neighbor? Which company does the office building next door belong to?"

After leaving the reception, Song Ya rushed to Sunnyvale’s Amerika Music website. Di Lai was looking after the installation of expensive hardware equipment, which was prepared for the upcoming pop music section and related discussion board functions.

"Yahoo, an online yellow page and search site."

Dile replied: "There seems to be a Chinese in the boss."

"Really? Yahoo? What kind of strange name..."

Song Ya asked him to help him open the yahoo page. It was indeed full of traditional yellow page information such as corporate website entrances. However, a long search box that was different from other search websites such as infoseek and occupies the visual center of the page triggered his discovery and discovery The same familiarity as the mosaic browser.

"Does this company welcome angel investors?" Song Ya asked while typing words in the search box.

"Angel round? They have all voted for round A. They are all big companies." Dilai smiled, "They are very promising."

"Really? When?" Song Ya felt a little regretful.

"A's turn is like last month. You are busy with the wedding. I don't bother to bother you with these things." Dile replied.

Song Ya slowly closed her eyes and sighed up to the sky, "Hey, how many opportunities did I miss to get married..."

"Ok?"

"Uh, nothing."
