Chapter 731 ? WASD

Latest URL: "Damn it!"

In San Jose, 3DFX did not know when the ban on the headquarters was upgraded. Song Ya and the strong men like Tony, Muffler, and Mawota who were eager to fight were blocked by white security guards with strange faces. "A group of liars!"

"Is there anything I can do for you sir?"

The security guards turned sideways vigilantly and put their hands on their waists.

"Get out of the way! I'm the one paying your wages!"

Song Ya yelled at them.

"Sorry, you need to register in advance and apply for a visitor's pass." A person who looked like a security supervisor said.

"Don't be impulsive, Tony."

Old Mike grabbed the back collar of Tony, who was swaying and trying to force him, "Don't you know him?" He pointed at Song Ya and asked the other party.

"I know, but...sorry, we just follow the rules."

The security director is also very difficult.

"Boss..." At this time, Dr. Mei came down to pick up the people, "Register first, it will be ready soon." Holding some temporary visitor IDs in his hand, he called the front desk to confirm and registered one by one, and led several people away. into the elevator.

"Don't do anything later, boss."

Jimmy saw some security guards climbing up the stairs panting, "I've heard stories about some company managers deliberately framing investors and going to jail."

"M-Fxxk..."

Song Ya familiarly pushed open the office door blocked by those three guys last time, "Where are you? Where did you hide!?"

"They're all in the meeting room." Dr. Mei said, "In a meeting, there are other people..."

"Why, have you learned well? Have you been prepared?"

3DFX's office area is not big, Song Ya walked quickly to the meeting room, "You three..." Pushing open the door, it was filled with white technical geeks in plaid shirts, all of whom turned their heads to look at him, making him a little face blind for a while .

"It just so happens that our investor, Mr. APLUS, is also here today.

Do you all know each other? "

Ross Smith, one of the liar trio and the present company spokesperson, rushed to Song Ya, put his hands together as if begging you, and kept winking, "May I introduce you?"

"You wait outside first."

Song Ya decided not to embarrass them in front of so many people for the time being, and turned around to give Tony and others an order.

"This is John Carmack, the founder of ID Software, the producer of the 3D shooting game DOOM (Doom), and these few developers from EA, and the 3D game project team of Eidos, and these few from Interactive Light, they are also developing a new 3D shooter game for arcade platforms."

Rose Smith enthusiastically introduced Song Ya one by one, "We are already working together."

"Hello……"

Song Ya had no choice but to hold back her breath, and shook hands with the technical nerds who were staring at her curiously, "John, I've heard of you. Mark Anderson said you are a genius programmer."

The only person he knew was John Carmack, a white guy who looked as young as a high school student. It seemed that a magazine selected him as one of the most influential programmers in the world, and now he was only a few years older than himself? His most famous deed is that when he was fourteen years old, he melted a window in the school with homemade thermite, in order to sneak in with his accomplices to steal the new Apple computer, and was soon arrested and sentenced to one year in prison.

"I know him, he is very strong, but I don't like him very much..." John Carmack spoke very straightforwardly.

"Why?" Song Ya asked.

"Long live open source!" A programmer shouted behind him.

"Oh, I see." Song Ya remembered that this guy seemed to be a staunch supporter of open source software, and he had just released the source code of his 3D engine not long ago.

In this way, it is not surprising that he can fall in love with the three swindlers of 3DFX, because 3DFX also donated its own Glide API for free for game developers to use.

Hehe, it's all my money...

"I don't talk about codes, I don't understand much." After fainting at Netscape headquarters, he now declines all topics related to codes.

"Our cooperation with John and everyone is great. In this way, after the 3DFX graphics accelerator card comes out, there will be a large number of high-quality 3D games on the market simultaneously..."

Ross Smith introduced to the investors who contributed money, "You can first look at the demo effect of APLUS."

Since the hardware chip has not yet been manufactured, the three scammers still use the old trick of running the software on an SGI graphics workstation in the conference room.

The huge SGI logo on the mainframe of the workstation fell into Song Ya's eyes, and it immediately evoked his unpleasant memories of being cheated, which was very eye-catching.

"Or do you want to try it out?"

One of the trio noticed the focus of his gaze, and quickly pushed the keyboard and mouse over to divert his attention.

"I don't play much..."

"It's very simple, use the mouse with your right hand, and put your left hand on the up, down, left, and right keys."

Song Ya saw the monitor screen on the conference table showing the character holding the gun from the first perspective. Under the guidance of the other party, he held the mouse with his right hand and pressed the four keys with his left finger.

The screen began to move under his control, and a polygonal mob rushed over. He subconsciously moved the mouse to adjust the aim, and then pressed the left button of the mouse, the game character shot and successfully 'killed' the opponent.

"Wow, good APLUS, you must have played DOOM before." Ross Smith laughed.

"No, I prefer to play civilization... This... it's a bit awkward to move..."

Song Ya was so focused on the operation that she almost couldn't care about talking. Because the up, down, left, and right keys on the keyboard were too close to the mouse, the left and right hands had to move together, and it was uncomfortable to change the posture.

"The keys can be set by yourself, and you can use whatever you like." John Carmack helped to bring up the setting menu.

He stared blankly at the keyboard for two seconds, and naturally replaced the four keys of up, down, left, and right with WASD, "This is much better." He started playing again.

This should be a demonstration demo, the scene is small, after brushing more than a dozen monsters, he quickly got bored, put away the keyboard and mouse, "It feels pretty good..."

It's really not bad, but after changing the keyboard settings, there is still an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He looked at the people in the conference room with soft eyes, and he is too familiar with this "familiarity". The other self before has related impressions, and it is still a very deep impression.

For example, the involuntary laughter when meeting Mariah Carey for the first time, such as hearing the name of JavaScript programming language, etc...

"When the ES version (engineering sample) of our 3D acceleration chip is produced, there is no need to demonstrate it on this host."

Liars have a strong ability to detect words and emotions. Ross Smith no longer looks so angry when he sees the expression of the hip-hop star in front of him, and immediately steers the topic to the direction of asking for money, "Just use an ordinary home computer host."

"So when will this ES version be produced?" Song Ya asked.

"October, October will do."

Rose Smith replied: "But now the company funds... APLUS, come to my office and talk."

Song Ya sighed, got up and went out together, "Tony, forget it, you go downstairs and wait for me."

Sitting down in the other party's office, "What do other investors say?" He asked Dr. Mei, the supervisor he had posted here.

"Everyone is not willing to carry out the second round of financing." Dr. Mei replied.

I'm scared of being cheated...

"Then openly recruit A-round venture investors."

Song Ya rubbed the center of her brows and replied helplessly.

"In terms of time..." Ross Smith seemed to be about to stare at a man pit.

"You set a timetable, and if there's still a gap in VC funding at the last minute... I'll see."

Song Ya stood up, grabbed the other party's collar directly, and slid the technical house off the ground, and the two looked at each other, "If you lied to me again, you know what I will do Yes." He had a fierce look in his eyes, sternly threatening.

"I understand, I understand, please rest assured Mr. APLUS."

"Um."

Song Ya put him down with satisfaction, "Jimmy, Mike, let's go."

Just as he went downstairs to join Tony and the others, the cell phone in Old Mike's arms rang, but Linda didn't follow, "It's a fixed line, calling from New York." Old Mike said looking at the unfamiliar caller number.

"Who is looking for me?"

Song Ya connected.

"APLUS, you're not in New York?" came the voice of Doug, Chief of Staff of the Underwood Whip's Office.

"No, I'm in San Jose." Song Ya replied.

"Is it convenient to meet in New York? I want to talk to you about this." Doug said.

"What's up?"

"It's related to an African-American representative in Congress." Doug replied.

Then there is only Rangel, Song Ya immediately realized that Underwood's fox wanted to intervene in his business again, "Fxxkyou, Doug, why did you show up as soon as I made a big noise? But this time you are late, I've decided not to invest in the inner city broadcasters, so there's no point in seeing that side, that's all."

"APLUS, we are resisting the Elephant Party's boycott of next year's federal budget in Congress, and the telecommunications bill also needs to be passed by the House of Representatives. We cannot lack the support of the African-American party group at this time." Doug was afraid that he would hang up the phone, so he said a little more .

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Come on, come to New York, let's talk first, we can always talk about a plan that everyone can accept, can't we?" Doug said.
