Chicago 1990

‘Click, click. ’

In the evening, I had a meal with the founders of DTS and Palm. They decided to meet temporarily. There was nothing serious about them. Terry Beard continued to devote himself to practicing surround sound technology. I also wanted to spy on whether he was willing to take over the director in June. Spielberg lifted the ban on DTS shares.

Jeffrey Hawkins has long since changed from his boss to a senior worker. The Palm shares he currently owns are not as much as his own. Palm's parent company, the U.S. Robotics Company, has the final say.

A+ Audio currently owns 5% of DTS shares and a board of directors. A+ Venture Capital also owns 5% of Palm’s shares, which have been precipitated from the very beginning. Now everyone’s interest relationship has stabilized. What's the big contradiction? To paraphrase Terry Beard's words, "APLUS is a very restrained investor." The three have gradually changed from business partners to friends who can get along more honestly.

At the beginning of this year, Xerox's patent infringement lawsuit against Palm entered the trial stage, and now that has become a problem for U.S. Robotics. Compared with wealth, Jeffrey Hawkins values ​​a quiet and free R&D environment. He breathed a sigh of relief and worked hard to persuade the American Robotics Company to continue to support his PDA dream. Saying goodbye to his failure, he gave the new PDA a brand new name: PalmPilot. Just launched on the market, there are currently two models for sale, 1000 and 5000, using Motorola processors.

Although this still bulky and rough black brick is far from what Song Ya had seen in Apocalypse, that beautiful and portable cute little thing that can also be used to make phone calls, Jeffrey Hawkins was full of confidence and gave everything to the dinner table. People, including Alicia, presented a high-end 5000 model machine.

Song Ya currently has no interest in increasing DTS shares. Their share price performance has not been very good since they went public, and they are not cold about Palm's new PDA products.

He was even more concerned about Jeffrey Hawkins’ unintentional bragging during the meeting. He said that Apple wanted to find U.S. Robotics to acquire PalmOS, the handheld operating system he created.

‘Apple’s self-developed system has fatal security loopholes. To ensure the smooth delivery of Macintosh 2 computers in early 1997, they may urgently need a more mature operating system to replace it. ’

‘It is rumored that Apple’s financial report for the first quarter of 1996 is still a huge loss, and its share price has fallen below nine cents! ’

‘Some of Apple’s small and medium shareholders collectively suggested that the company’s senior executives should hurry up and invite Jobs back! ’

'In order to make up for the shortcomings of the PC operating system, Apple President Amelio seems to be in contact with potential acquisition targets, including Be company founded by former Apple employee Luigi Gassi and NeXT company founded by former Apple chairman Jobs. He even set his sights on Operating system providers for some other platforms. ’

‘Amelio has other options. For example, Microsoft’s mortal enemy, each computer pays a license fee for its Windows system. Microsoft should be willing. After all, the two are no longer companies of the same size. Or find an alliance between SUN and Netscape...’

"Ok?"

After letting go of the mouse, Song Ya's eyes lit up. He originally wanted to know more about the company's recent developments because of the Apple stock he smashed in his hands.

"One more general in the Anti-Microsoft Alliance!?"

He intuitively felt that this could be done. As the founder of Apple, Jobs hated the executives who drove him out, and would never go back. It seems that Louis Gassy also had trouble with Apple executives and left. And Apple bowed to Microsoft? They also have pride.

Jeffrey Hawkins's crude PalmOS must be useless, he himself didn't believe it.

Isn't Apple left with only one choice? This is an anti-Microsoft alliance, anyway, SUN doesn't make a personal computer.

Maybe the opportunity for Apple's stock solution is imminent, he must grasp it, and even promote it a little bit. He glanced at the time, gritted his teeth and dialed Jim Clark's phone.

"Jim! I just watched the financial news, are we negotiating with Sun and Apple?"

It's late, make sure to make a long story short, Jim Clark has a bad temper.

Alicia in her arms was awakened. She had just turned over and Song Ya had covered her mouth with her hand.

"It's just a chat on the phone..."

Jim Clark was already asleep, but he was in a good mood. He yawned and replied: "Go to sleep, APLUS, even if it is too early to spy on inside information from me, the bad guys in Apple management have not been exhausted yet. when."

"Not yet? Their stock prices have fallen below nine cents!"

"What's so surprising? It's not that they are not in a hurry if they have not reached this price. Oh, yes, I remember you have a lot of Apple stocks? You bought it for a few dollars? Haha!"

The guy hung up with a smirk loudly.

"Bah!" Song Ya sipped at the phone, "How many yuan? The average price is only one and three yuan, Fxxkyou!"

"OK." The governor's wife replied, pushing away his hand.

"Maybe it's time to buy a new property."

There is no insurance in a Silicon Valley hotel. The hotel staff here have no resistance to the green bills waved by the paparazzi. Song Ya was found by a real babyface a long time ago, "Hayden, find me a villa here. , Good privacy, not too big, cheaper, just a little closer to A+ Audio, A+ Pedal Company and Netscape."

Alicia slipped away early, she will stay in Silicon Valley to handle the remaining A+ audio affairs, while Song Ya rushes to Los Angeles, the Oscars ceremony is coming.

"Okay, are you staying at the hotel tonight or at Xue Linfen's house?" Hayden asked, who came to meet him.

"Hotel."

Song Ya glanced at the paparazzi behind the car and decided to be more reserved.

The forests in Los Angeles were in a commotion, and when they learned that he arrived, the phone and text messages flew together.

"Linda, have you investigated Mira's recent situation?"

For the time being, I’m not able to let myself go. Although the news has been overtaken by various other topics, there are still many tabloids digging into their love history and evidence of cheating, but I miss my ex-girlfriend a bit. He called Lin to ask Lin Up.

“Luc Besson’s new film has been shot in Europe. The official announcement that the heroine is David Copperfield’s fiancée Claudia Schiffer. Since 1996, Mila has not been through the show of first-line clothing brands. There has never been a first-line fashion magazine cover."

Linda replied: "There are rumors that the French no longer welcome her, and now that she is indeed being collectively blocked by that side."

Claudia Schiffer is the true and top supermodel of this era~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Gaomeng Pictures promotes that the film production cost of the fifth element will be as high as 100 million. Of course, Hollywood has always been against France. Human courage is skeptical, thinking they are bragging.

Regardless of whether the production cost reaches 100 million or less, it will be miserable for the heroine to be intercepted by Mira, and it is even more difficult to mix with the French in the fashion circle. It seems that she and Luc Besson have indeed broken up, and they are not happy. .

"Where is she?" Song Ya asked.

"I was in Los Angeles. A few days ago, a colleague said that she had seen her appear outside the production department of Columbia Pictures, as if she was auditioning for some film project."

Hayden replied: "A person, led by a little Hollywood agent."

Wow, isn't this just approaching yourself in silence? "What project?" Song Ya asked again.

"The name hasn't been decided yet, you can ask Escobe, he is also in that project."

"Oh?" That's easy, Song Ya immediately called Escobe.

", the Anaconda disaster."
