Chapter 1116? The Moment of Waking up From the Dream

"Chicago 1990 ()"

‘APLUS appeared in the Chicago local court today. After two months of waking up, the local court has ended the indefinite adjournment and has begun to retry the Bahn case. In addition, a series of accusations against him last year have all been withdrawn, proving APLUS’s innocence...’

'He looks fine. '

'Yeah? Still need a wheelchair. '

The two news anchors are a bit contentious.

Silicon Valley, Sunnyvale, Delay was watching TV at home, "Bah! Drama!" He spat at Song Ya, who was kissing the cross in the picture, and changed the channel.

"Mrs. Flock, Mrs. Flock!"

Although she defected to her old club again, it was still inconvenient for Alicia to follow Will and Diane in the Barn case. She was envious and jealous, and started to make trouble. It happened to be in front of the local hospital in New Mexico where Goodman was treated. Get 'caught' by journalists.

"Sorry, I have no comment." Before the reporter continued to ask questions, she flicked her hair sullenly and said.

"What did you talk to the former personal lawyer of APLUS?"

"Did he really steal tens of millions of meters from APLUS?"

"What role did he play in the IPO process of the American music website?!"

The reporters chattered.

"No comment." She pulled the taxi away.

"Mrs. Flock, does Mr. Governor of Illinois support your cause? Rumor has it that you have been separated for a long time..."

"Nonsense!"

She was willing to answer this question, but refuted it sternly, "Our relationship is very stable, Peter is very supportive of my career, OK? I have been back to the law firm for many years, and we have also taken care of work and family well..."

"Mrs. Flock!"

She got into the car and drove away.

The TV station began to broadcast the next piece of news, and Delay stood there in a daze holding the remote control.

'The following is the financial news. Netscape held a grand celebration for the second anniversary of its listing today. In the browser war with Microsoft, their market share has decreased, but the interim financial report shows that the company is operating well. Software sales and service income have become new growth points. Mark Anderson also announced a major price cut for the Navigator browser...'

'Affected by this good news, Netscape's stock price once again attacked the 80-knife mark. President Baxter continued to strongly criticize competitors' unfair competition. He called on the judicial department to speed up the trial process of Microsoft's monopoly case. '

The sound of the news broadcast gradually entered his ears again, and he turned his head to look at the calendar on the desk, August 9th.

Originally, I should be in the NASDAQ exchange in New York's Times Square today. Now, at this time, I just finished ringing the closing bell, and I am also being interviewed by the financial media, right?

In the past two years, he often dreamed back at midnight, always fantasizing about the arrival of this day, and he even prepared a full set of outfits.

Today was supposed to be its own AmericaMusic moment, just like it had Netscape's moment two years ago.

"Damn it!"

He suddenly threw the remote control at the TV like a madman, and pulled out a cardboard box from under the desk, which was full of neatly sized, custom-made baseball caps, white, with a beautiful logo of the American music website on the front.

"FXXK!"

Now all scrap, he took out the hat and threw it all over the room.

'Ring ring ring...' The landline suddenly rang.

"What's the matter!?" He quietly picked up the phone.

"Boss, why don't you come to the company yet? The former employees of A+ Audio protested at the door again. They said that if they don't get a reasonable salary, they will initiate a class action lawsuit against us."

asked the in-house lawyer for the music site America.

"What's none of my business!? They were fired by APLUS, and so was I! I'm no longer the president of that company, let them go to APLUS for anything!" DeLay yelled.

"It's not like that, uh... quite a few of them, before they split with us,

Undertook a lot of website construction and management work, and now requires the same treatment as website employees. "

The lawyer reminded, "They have evidence in their hands, and if we go to court, we are likely to be judged to have fraudulently and misleading employees' future career plans and job transfers during the split of the two companies... In short, you should come back, people from De Mingxin here we go again."

"This group of damned!"

Before the American music website was spun off, in order to make the new company a new outfit, DeLay left some redundant employees along with the debts in the parent company A+ Audio, so that the data on the prospectus would be much better.

In any case, the website was his only hope, and he still had to do his job, so he went out cursing.

Anyway, he couldn't run away, APLUS really wanted to be a black hand, and he certainly wouldn't live long, so he was a bachelor, and there was only one bodyguard and driver at the door, and when he saw him coming out, he trotted to open the door of the Mercedes-Benz.

"go to company."

After driving not far from his home, he found a familiar trailing vehicle behind him, and he knew who was behind the other party, "I'm looking for Mr. Icahn." He took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"He doesn't have time to talk to you, just leave it to me if you have anything to do." The cold voice answered, it was Carl Icahn's subordinate.

"I won't run away! I won't be a traitor either!"

His emotions reached a critical point again, "You advise you to go to New Mexico and talk to Goodman more!"

"I don't understand what you're saying, Delay." The other person never showed his secrets on the phone.

"Warn Mr. Icahn on my behalf. He will lose money if the IPO fails to go public as scheduled, but if you are given conclusive evidence of participating in an illegal transaction with APLUS's private lawyer, the reputation of your Icahn Capital will be in danger."

He is no longer the keyboard player he used to be, and his vision is very broad. He knows what Carl Icahn is afraid of, "What's the use of staring at me now!? When your investors retreat...Jordan Belfort and others Wall Street is a small business, and the donkey party prosecutors in New York have arrested dozens of them in the past four years? The mayor of New York Giuliani, who is like the party, does not like you. Although Mr. Icahn has great influence and funds , but don’t think that you will always be invincible!”

"Hehe, let's wait and see, Delay." The other party smiled sinisterly and hung up the phone.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Delay waited, and the private detective following behind showed no sign of giving up, so he had no choice but to ignore it.

After APLUS put A+ Audio Company into bankruptcy again, the American music website had to move the computer room and office space away from the original A+ Audio Company headquarters building with a cheap lease, which was a little far from his home.

Cursing all the way, the spirit became more and more tense. Sure enough, there were a dozen former employees of A+ Audio Company holding signs outside the new company building. People did not expect much. After recognizing his car, they glared at this side but did not Showing some violent tendencies, he was slightly relieved.

"You're too greedy, Delay, these problems shouldn't be problems."

De Mingxin's people had already waited outside the meeting room door, glanced at the protesters downstairs outside the window, and then pointed to this new place, "Shall we chat?"

"If it's still the old cliché, I don't think it's necessary at all... I can't satisfy you." Delay left a sentence, walked past them and walked to his office, because the newly rented place was moved in a hurry, and the lobby outside was where the employees worked. , when everyone saw him, they put down their work and stared at him in bewilderment.

"Do your own work!" Delay yelled, and the employees bowed their heads.

"hehe……"

De Mingxin's people followed in, "Today should be the day of the IPO. According to our previous betting agreement on listing...you have already breached the contract."

"Are you flies? Always buzzing... same old thing!"

DeLay scolded, "I can't control this matter, go talk to the company's major shareholder, Icahn Capital!"

"It is rumored that you actually own part of the proportion of the two special funds of Icahn Capital, and you are the actual controller of this company."

De Mingxin's people were not forgiving, "During all the previous meetings, both of you acquiesced to this, didn't you?"

"You know it's a rumor? Lawyer!"

Delay chased people away, "Either continue to support me or see you in court, you choose yourself! Now, get out!"

The company's in-house lawyers came in.

"It's not you, what about them?" Delay was referring to the well-known local law firm lawyers who assisted in the IPO.

"They...uh..." the internal lawyer stammered.

"What's wrong?"

"They said that continuing to serve us would damage the reputation of the law firm, and they just sent a notice that they have started the agreement withdrawal process." The internal lawyer submitted a document.

"Wow..." De Mingxin's people sighed cheaply beside him.

Di Lai felt his eyes go dark, and he supported the boss's desk to try to remain calm, "then they will lose a lot of money."

"They said it was acceptable," replied the in-house lawyer.

"Damn it..." DeLay could do nothing but curse incompetently, feeling betrayed by the whole world.

After the man in the wheelchair woke up, it seemed that in the past two months, he had done nothing more than some conventional means to himself, but his shadow shrouded him, but he seemed to be everywhere, oppressing people beyond his reach. breathe.

He shouldn't have woken up! That was a big mistake!

Arguing, cursing, being scolded, and then hiding in the locked office staring at the dwindling amount of cash in the account, this kind of life has passed for nearly a month, "Get out! Get out!" He was in a The former editor of the Louise Report and the current editor of the entertainment section of the website signed the resignation letter. He turned his head and looked out the window. It was already dark.

"Blade Warrior's global box office has exceeded 200 million yuan. Halle Berry, the heroine of the movie promoting the film in France, was concerned and sweet when talking about APLUS. She claimed that she often talked with APLUS on the phone and exchanged views. She hoped that APLUS will recover soon and come back. ...'

The bodyguard and driver hurriedly changed the car radio.

At the end of a tiring day, he returned home exhausted, and found that the hats that had been littered on the ground had been cleaned up, and the room was tidy again.

"Without you, I don't know if I can persist..."

He relaxed a lot in an instant, as if he had returned to the protection port of his soul, and hugged his girlfriend who had been with him for many years and was cleaning the table from behind, "I really..."

'Snapped! '

Unexpectedly, his girlfriend slapped her back, "What is this!?" She asked with tears.

It turned out that she didn't wipe the table anymore, but looked at some photos on the table and cried. Delay poked her head in starry eyes and almost passed out on the spot. Scenes of fooling around at a party.

"It's just entertainment..." he quibbled.

"What about these!?" A few more photos came before my eyes, and it was even more unsightly. I was drunk and hugged two stripper girls, or black girls, and they were honest with each other.

There is a date under the photo, which is after reuniting with my girlfriend.

"APLUS sent them to sow discord, honey, you know it's a lot of fun over there, if I don't, I won't fit in..."

'Snapped! ’ He was slapped again, "I followed you in high school, Delay!" His girlfriend broke down and cried, and picked up the luggage that had already been packed.

"Don't go, don't go, honey..."

He grabbed the corner of the other person's clothes and begged, "I won't be anymore, I will be a billionaire soon, and then I will marry you."

"You think I'm with you for money!?"

The girlfriend tried her best to avoid the tugging and rushed out the door, "Everyone said I was stupid, otherwise you wouldn't have insisted on delaying the wedding until after the company went public, and tricked me into signing a prenuptial agreement!"

"so what?!"

Di Lai also collapsed, yelling at her back without any desire to survive, "Forgive me, and get back together with me, otherwise why!? Can you still find a promising man like me? Don't you look at yourself now How old are you, the same age as me, women in their thirties... Countless girls younger and more beautiful than you have thrown themselves into my arms. If I didn't love you, I would have long ago... What kind of life do you think APLUS is living!? Those Actress..."

'Snapped! '

The girlfriend came back and slapped him again, and got into the car crying.

"Don't leave me! What I just said was angry!" Delay, who was woken up, rushed over and slapped on the car window to keep him, "Ah!"

He was pulled back by the starting car and rolled onto the main road.

"FXXK! FXXK!"

Looking at the taillights in the distance, he returned to his deserted home and dialed Al's phone, cursing, "When were those photos taken!? You betrayed me! Al!"

"I don't know. Big A said he could find it. There was a photographer? It was a DJ with a camera. I also drank too much..."

Al explained.

"That's not what I'm talking about!? Is it necessary to send the photo to my girlfriend!?" Di Lai questioned: "I didn't treat you badly, I just have some small problems with APLUS!"

Al was silent on the phone.

"Answer me! Al!"

"You asked for it, Delay." Al sighed and hung up the phone.
