Chicago 1990

The latest website: No one is in the mood to listen to the song. The atmosphere of the venue is a little relaxed. Don’t look at Jim Clark and Bacchus confidently proclaiming how successful the Netscape browser is and how high the market share is. , How much the Internet represents the future, but Song Ya feels that on the one hand, their own ambitions are expanding step by step with the enthusiastic reaction of the market, and at the same time, they are a little bottomless in their hearts.

The two have advanced the timetable for listing, making Netscape the first purely Internet-listed company in the true sense. This time, they will increase the price of new stocks that have been set. When the company is not yet profitable...

Of course, maybe I can't understand these technological heroes who don't have any previous experience to refer to.

"Well, we agreed."

Quatterson came in ten minutes later to announce the results of their discussion. People in the conference room cheered. It seemed that the meeting had been open for nine hours before Song Ya arrived, and everyone was exhausted.

"APLUS, thank you for what you did."

As the last insignificant straw that crushed Morgan Stanley, this became another excellent example of his lucky pig. In the evening, Mark Anderson took the initiative to invite him to dinner, but the genius programmer with a sluggish look was in a good mood, "If It's not you, maybe I can't get the current shares and options from Jim."

Indeed, as a rich catfish, Song Ya’s initial competition for admission somewhat mixed up Jim Clark’s wishful thinking. Mark Anderson cleverly used Jim Clark’s fear of switching to a cash-rich hip-hop star in the early stages of making the choice. With his mentality, he got better technical conditions for buying shares. After Netscape went public, his original shares and incentive options combined could probably be more than 2%. At the issue price of 14 yuan, there are also two. More than tens of millions of worth.

"Will you exercise the right?"

Song Ya asked.

"Yes, for 18 months, working ten hours a day, open all year round..."

Mark Anderson unabashedly began to look forward to it: "I will treat myself well after the company goes public."

"Haha..."

Song Ya understands his infinite vision for the life of a multi-millionaire, "You deserve it."

During the dinner, he and Dr. Chen asked about the development direction of the industry. Mark Anderson said that he did not know. He closed the door for more than a year and worked hard. In fact, he is not very sensitive to industry trends. "Have you heard The story of jeans?"

"You mean that during the North Rice Gold Rush, the gold diggers failed to make a fortune. Instead, they provided the miners with durable jeans and became rich in one fell swoop?"

Dr. Chen asked.

"Almost, I don't know where the stable profit model of the Internet industry is, but now everyone is pouring into this business, right? Maybe take a step back and think about it, businesses that provide infrastructure will have a good life."

Knowing Song Ya's good, Mark Anderson's attitude is much more sincere than before, "Network companies have a large number of high-performance server hosts, high-throughput switches, and faster fiber optic network requirements."

"I know I know……"

Song Ya has a sorrow, and his own Amerika music website has reached a high level of traffic after the Madonna and 2PAC scandals, but what about? Not to mention no profit, but also sent a large sum of money to Cisco, SUN, and telecom providers that provide high-speed broadband.

"This is the direction of investment."

Saying goodbye to Mark Anderson, who rushed back to the company to work overtime, he said to Dr. Chen, “I will inject 10 million yuan into A+ venture capital at the end of the year. You will help me spend it on related industries next year.”

"I'll pay attention." Dr. Chen nodded, "Anything else?"

"In short, I only provide judgments in the general direction."

Song Ya began to use the apocalypse foreshadowing to force, "In the future audio and video products will have better sound and picture quality, mobile phones, TVs, and monitors will have more detailed and thinner screens, and JAVA and JavaScript programming languages ​​will achieve greater development. Then... I like Microsoft's operating system, Yahoo's search engine, Netscape's browser..."

Speaking and speaking, it feels like this is actually the case. Many people in this era have the same judgment.

"This is the internal logic of your investment in graphics chip vendors like 3DFX, VCD player manufacturers like Wanyan, DTS, Palm, Netscape, etc., right?"

But Dr. Chen didn't know, "But your most successful investment right now is the Barn Fluorescent Reagent Factory. What judgment did you make that time?" He asked.

"Forget it, it was an accident."

Song Ya waved his hand. What the other party didn't know was that he had also bet heavily on Apple, HP, Cisco, Microsoft, SUN, Nokia, EA and other related companies in the stock market. In addition to EA and Apple, which performed well, there was also Dow’s. The stocks that have not lifted the ban are also rising.

Now in mid-July, the two have reappeared in New York after leaving Silicon Valley. They joined Alicia, Morningstar and Ms. Sloan, and made the first official offer to the Manhattan Gang for Inner City Broadcasting Corporation.

"With 28 million in capital injection, you have to take 33.3% of the shares, four directors plus chairmanship, and have the power to dispose of non-performing assets?"

Pierre Sutton shook his head again and again after reading the document, "The Inner City Broadcasting Company is worth 100 million, not the 84 million you think, and we can't accept this at all."

He pushed back the documents related to the Apollo Theater, "We will do everything we can to preserve the right to operate the theater, but we will not agree to a pre-set timetable, otherwise, according to your plan, if we lose this theater two thousand years ago, Your shareholding will automatically increase again, which is unfair to us."

"So you are not sure to keep it?"

The profit of the Apollo Theater is the top priority. Otherwise, even if the Inner City Broadcasting Company gets its own nearly 30 million real money, the money will not be enough to lose for two thousand years. Then, in order to avoid bankruptcy, it will have to think otherwise. Under the assumption that the government grants, donations from black organizations, and private donations that were seen in the early years for the face of the Manhattan Gang can still be maintained at the original level.

But that should be impossible. As the old Chinese saying goes, people go to the cold. With Dingkins's defeat, both the funding and the amount of donations are declining year by year, and the speed is accelerating.

Song Ya showed her fangs here, and made an unhappy gesture, lazily leaning against the back of the chair.

"We will try our best, can you understand it? APLUS."

Pierre is inconvenient to speak out clearly on this occasion. Indeed, Dingkins and the Federal Representative Rangel will do their best to keep the Apollo Theater for their own interests. Songya has no doubt about this, but The current opponent is Giuliani, the current Mayor of New York. Some Elephant Party politicians in Harlem have long been very opinionated about the Apollo Theater being dominated by the Manhattan Gang. Last year, some people in the New York council proposed to forcibly revoke the operating rights or simply The proposal to directly launch a corruption investigation was blocked by the Donkey Party.

"I can understand, but...that's our offer, and you saw it today..."

Song Yachao pointed at the conference table himself, "I have prepared a fully elite team for this capital injection, Pierre, you know the market, my early investment can prove that I am very serious about capital injection. , Our team’s offer is also very professional."

"We have carefully studied the operating statements you provided. This should be a win-win offer that everyone can accept." Alicia added.

"That can't work." Pierre continued to shake his head.

The conference was held at the New York main station of the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation. After Dingkins took office, he received a special grant for the renovation of African-American media. In fact, it has only been a few years in the past. Everything is very new. The two main stations are also one of his family's few stable and profitable units. Next to Pierre is the manager of the New York main station and some high-level inner city broadcasters, all black.

On Song Ya's side, except for Linda and himself, the others are either white or Chinese, and they are quite distinct from the opposite.

Ms. Sloan threw the pen on the table a little impatiently, "What about the others? Except for the Apollo Theater, can you accept the other conditions?"

"Oh, we need to think about it again." Pierre Sutton sighed, "We will reply to you as soon as possible, APLUS."

"Well, let's fix the time." Song Ya got up and left the meeting.

"Wait APLUS, uh, talk alone."

Pierre Sutton chased him out and led him into his office, "I need your plan for the disposal of bad assets. Since you have organized such a professional team, you must have a specific design?" He said, "You know Yes, there are political considerations behind the fact that some so-called non-performing assets can be maintained until now. You can't shut down or sell them separately."

"It's time for Pierre to change his mind. Political considerations cannot prevent the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation from going bankrupt..."

Song Ya smiled, "It's just time to manage it like a real business."

"There is always a huge gap between ideal and reality." Pierre Sutton did not answer directly.

"I won't show you those things. I know. You will turn around with our offer today and ask Quincy Jones if they want to match. I must have reservations."

Song Ya shook his head, "But you can submit a document in advance stating which non-performing assets cannot be moved, or to what extent it can be moved~www.wuxiaspot.com~ OK, I will, thank you APLUS." Pierre Sutton agreed.

"This kid really wasn't built."

After sending off Song Ya and his party, the Inner City Broadcasting Company's own people continued to meet, "No wonder he will become famous at a young age. He got a singer contract similar to MCHammer from Sony Columbia Records and defeated in the internal struggle of the record company. Motula has become one of the youngest self-made billionaires." The manager of the New York main station sighed repeatedly.

"You don't want to jump to work for him like those in Washington, do you?" Pierre muttered silently.

"Me? Haha, hehe, no, don't be so sensitive Pierre."

The manager laughed. "So should we talk to Russell Simmons next?"

"That idiot hasn't settled the matter of the proportion of investment on his side..." Pierre Sutton replied with great grievance: "But there is no way, call him, we need him now."
