Chapter 1315 Dig a Big Cow?

"Can't sleep?"

Rashida sweetly placed her head on the man's chest, and asked with sparkling eyes.

"Well, it seems a little insomnia."

Song Ya answered while playing with the small golden lock pendant on her collar.

I am not used to spending the night on a boat. No matter how good the yacht is, the sound insulation cannot be perfect due to the precious space. It is not fun to play, and there is no network or signal at sea, plus the continuous bumps and the sound of wind and waves. There is always some anxiety.

"This ship is so beautiful and amazing..."

He didn't want to sleep, so Rashida chattered, "I have a camera in my bag, but I'm too embarrassed to take it out during the day."

"Didn't everyone take a group photo before boarding the boat? Don't make trouble."

Although the owner, Jim Clark, did not expressly prohibit it, in general, everyone at this top-level yacht party pays attention to privacy. Celebrities like the daughter of a wealthy landowner in Silicon Valley would not like to have cool bikini photos of vacationing on a boat being circulated.

"Then go drink something?" Rashida suggested.

Song Ya looked at his watch, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, "Okay."

The two got up, and Rashida put on a thin shirt over the bikini to keep out the cold, and went out together.

"mark?"

The party ended at one o'clock in the morning. Unexpectedly, Mark Anderson was still lying alone on the beach chair on the deck, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze, occasionally drinking a sip of beer.

He was only three years older than himself, and he was getting more and more bald. This top programmer chose to face it calmly, and simply shaved his head, which shone brightly at night.

"Hi..."

He greeted lazily, "APLUS, Miss Jones."

"Can you?" Song Ya also went to the bar to ask for a bottle of beer. The cocktail Rashida chose needed to be mixed, so the two walked over first.

"Please."

Lying down on the beach chair next to Mark Anderson, Rashida sat obediently beside her.

According to the tacit agreement, they would stop talking about work when they were on vacation. The three chatted casually for a while, "I won't bother you." Mark Anderson shook the empty beer bottle, planning to get up and go back to the room.

"No need." Song Yaliu, do you think I will do something with Rashida on the open deck? Really.

"I'll come." Rashida took the initiative to go to the bar to ask for more like a little maid, and continued to listen quietly when she came back.

"Thanks."

Mark Anderson took the beer bottle and lay down again, then sighed long at the starry sky.

Frustrated, although he is already a billionaire, if Netscape is undefeated...

"By the way, APLUS, don't be angry when you tell me, I also invested some money in Napster." He took the initiative to chat about business.

"It's okay, I don't care much about these." Song Ya smiled and waved his hands, "Napster has been very popular recently, have you made a lot of money?"

The registered users of Napster, which focuses on helping users 'share' music, have surpassed many large websites and even email service providers in just a few months, soaring all the way to tens of millions.

If it is placed on a website with no legal problems, according to the current Internet concept stock market, it will be easily valued at billions.

"Um."

Mark Anderson admitted generously, then smiled wryly, "On the books."

He didn't say which round of venture capital he participated in. Song Ya estimated that if he really wanted to run away, someone would be willing to take over the offer. Of course, the RIAA has already decided to sue. The probability of Napster losing the lawsuit is much higher than that of its own American music website that has been honestly rectified. Much more.

"Their founder...Is it Sean Parker? It's very interesting." Song Ya laughed.

The pioneer of anti-piracy rallies and activities in the past two days, Hetfield, the lead singer of the metal band, began to scold Napster like scolding the American music website, but the high-profile young programmer Sean Parker was so shameless that he even put it on in public. A T-shirt for the metal band, shouting that he is a loyal fan of the metal band and admires Hetfield very much.

People are shameless and invincible, but this move has earned Napster a lot of attention, and Heitfield was very angry.

"hehe……"

Mark Anderson smiled and did not answer.

"How are you doing at AOL now?" Song Ya turned to inquire. He and Jim didn't know that he later bought some AOL stocks in the open market.

"We also made Netscape browser free last year, released the code of a new version of the browser, and established an open software organization... But it was useless, there was no improvement, and the competition with Microsoft in hindsight and whether it is free or not is not much. relation……"

Mark Anderson replied with a sigh: "The main reason is that their IE is bundled with the operating system. Their advantages in the operating system are too great, and we are powerless to resist unfair competition."

"Their monopoly case will enter the hearing stage in the second half of the year, right?" Song Ya asked again.

"Yeah, but I'm too lazy to get involved. It's Jim and Mr. Keith from AOL."

But Mark Anderson knew that the black pharaoh in front of him had invested in Microsoft stock a long time ago. Friends belong to friends. He didn’t want to talk too deeply about this extremely sensitive matter. After clearing the shares and leaving the market, I scolded you a lot, do you know that?"

"Of course I know."

The trio took out all 3DFX's money to invest in STB graphics card company, and it seems that they got the majority. They were restricted by the confidentiality clause and could not talk about technical details, so they only cursed.

‘APLUS doesn’t know anything, and likes laymen commanding experts. '

‘Irritable, stingy, extremely poor ability to withstand pressure, jumping and swearing at people and shaking fists when something happens. '

‘He said that we lied to him, which is not true at all. He himself was fooled by the British. 3DFX’s acquisition of VideoLogic was a mistake! '

'Kneeling and licking the book, Sega saved tens of millions of dollars in compensation every year for nothing! '

'STB's new graphics card will soon surpass the Voodoo series, just wait and see! '

'Bring back the arcade game machine we gave you! '

Ross, who was the first to be kicked out of the 3DFX board of directors, hates himself the most and is the most high-profile. STB's technology is average, its operating conditions are average, but its production capacity potential is not small. The idea of ​​playing without third-party graphics card manufacturers.

Song Ya was still a little worried about being slapped in the face by them, so he just asked Mark Anderson, "What do you think of their skills? I don't know much about it..."

"The concept is very advanced, catching up with the good time on the eve of the explosion of demand for 3D display chips, but the hard power...isn't it really a top chip designer?"

Mark Anderson, who has become a minority shareholder, replied: "In terms of hard power, our new chief technology officer Yasa should be stronger than them."

"I'm relieved when you say that."

Yasa and McLaren are both veterans of VideoLogic, and Song Ya is also afraid that McLaren will choose Yasa as CFO, more because of the internal personnel struggle of the company.

"Actually, there is a master figure in the industry who is about to quit. Maybe we can try to recruit him?"

Marc Anderson suggested.

"who?"

"AMD's Jim Keller, chief designer of the DEC Alpha chip, chief architect of the AMD K7K8 chip." Mark Anderson replied.

It seems very strong! "Does that kind of big guy like our 3DFX?" Song Ya was moved.

"Just kidding, we are also the leader in the field of display chips, and we are listed on NASDAQ."
