Chapter 752 Brotherhood

"Have you had your hair shaved?"

In Tribeca's study room at three o'clock in the morning, Song Ya was woken up by the sound of Xixi Suso. She opened her eyes and looked over. Alicia was bending over with her back to her and lifting up her skirt. His long legs were even, so he reached out and touched them.

"ah!"

Alicia didn't expect him to wake up, and let out a short exclamation, "Damn, APLUS, women don't want to discuss this kind of topic with men."

"Okay, sorry."

Watching this mature woman maintain a very good figure covered by a cold lawyer's professional skirt, "It's only three o'clock, and you're going back to the hotel?"

"Sloan lives next door to me, and I don't want her to notice anything."

She put on her clothes, pulled her long hair out of the collar with both hands, put on the watch on the table, picked up her bag, and put a folder under her armpit. The wildness of venting when she was alone disappeared instantly. Turning back into an elite lawyer during the day again, "See you at the New York headquarter this afternoon?"

"Morning, Dingkins wants to talk to me."

Seeing her holding the doorknob, Song Ya seemed a little hesitant, "Mawota outside the door is one of my most trusted bodyguards, he will drive you to the hotel safely, and the reporters won't find anything. "

"OK." She opened the door with confidence and stepped out.

Song Ya yawned comfortably on the sofa. It was a different feeling for a woman in her thirties. He closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and the corners of his mouth turned up immediately. The old-fashioned white conservative underwear is a bit funny. Let Linda go to Victoria's Secret to buy some trendy styles for her. Well, that's it. After the actual measurement, I already know the size...

Netscape's first thrilling trading day stimulated him quite strongly. One day, in just one day, he gained nearly 150 million worth in his stocks alone. He recalled last night. watching tv news.

Jim Clark and the others should have done public relations in the financial and technology media. Most of the touting targets were placed on Mark Anderson, the technology hero, while the entertainment and gossip media talked more about themselves. The clip is in the center of the screen, titles such as the youngest and most successful singer investor in history are worn on his head for free, and every station is talking good things.

Johnson's BET even made a special program urgently. Gordon, who was still staying there as a guest host, happened to be standing on the last shift. Naturally, he flattered the new boss, and some words felt a little nasty to his ears...

These guys don't even think about it, the stock thing is likely to bring people back to the original, what should they do when they blow themselves up too much?

In today's trading day, I don't know if Netscape stock can hit the 60 mark, or continue to go down...

Oh, by the way, there was a clip of a new movie released yesterday. Xiao Lizi still seems to be the lead actor. He is older, and his appearance is completely incomparable to now. I don’t know how many years later it was filmed, but it seems that there is One thing is certain: he will grow red...

After thinking about it, Song Ya fell into a deep sleep.

"Singing career will still be the focus of my life. The new album will be released on my birthday in October, and the next single will start hitting the charts in a few days. As for investment... it's just an investment, I don't help What is the decisive thing for the success of Netscape, here I just want to publicly express my gratitude to Mark Anderson, that genius programmer is also an entrepreneur with great ideas and practical spirit for the future of the entire Internet industry..."

Before leaving for the New York main station of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, he was interviewed by reporters who squatted all night downstairs. After the successful listing, Netscape's needs changed, and Jim Clark decided to retreat behind the scenes with Baxter. ,

Concentrate on building Mark Anderson into the next technological hero who will attract the attention of the world, and I also get new tasks to cooperate with.

"You ask me and Mark? Uh...we knew each other very early, at that time...about 1993? The IT engineer in my record company would occasionally go to UIUC to find friends, and one day they took me too, just to play Play. At that time, Mark was a student there. We met in the National Supercomputer Application Center. He demonstrated to me the Mosaic browser he participated in programming. It seemed to be called that at the time, but I can’t remember clearly... ..."

"Of course, it would be a lie to say that I am not excited. I personally did not expect the stock price to reach such a high level when the market opened."

"No, no, it's not too high. Netscape browser now has a market share of 85%. I heard that there are other statistics that are above 90%? That is the first thing that almost all World Wide Web visitors need to do. One thing is to open our browser... Our software has sold millions of copies in half a year, and we will continue to make efforts in the direction of the intranet..."

"The Internet represents the future. Although I don't understand it personally, I agree with Mark. Negroponte's prediction in the article is not far from us. The 21st century is just around the corner..."

It seems that a lot of serious social and financial media have been mixed in among the entertainment reporters who are used to cooperating. When the questions turn to professional issues such as profitability and new products, Song Ya ends the interview with a wave of his hand.

"APLUS, what do you think Netscape's stock price will do today?" A reporter asked.

"Sorry, I never cared about these short-term fluctuations." Song Ya replied.

"Are you a value investor? Will you sell all or part of your Netscape stock after the ban is lifted? The lock-up period is half a year, right?"

"Go and see the company announcement, it's all there." Song Ya got into the car.

When he arrived at the main station in New York, as soon as he appeared in the front lobby, the black employees began to applaud him with admiration.

"Thank you, thank you, all right."

He waved his hand like a big brother, "Pierre." He shook hands with the general manager Pierre Sutton who came out.

"You disappeared in a blink of an eye yesterday, don't you like Wall Street parties?"

Pierre Sutton smiled flatteringly, "Oh, yes, have you heard? Su Ge Knight really fished out 2PAC. It was also yesterday. It seems that he helped 2PAC pay more than one million yuan in parole fees."

"Come out after spending money?" Song Ya was a little surprised. I didn't expect Su Ge Knight to really make things happen. How long did 2PAC stay in prison? It is impossible to come out according to the normal parole process.

"Yes, rumor has it Sugnett changed the girl who sued 2PAC, so..." Pierre Sutton said.

That's right, I don't know how Su Genet got the plaintiff girl, it's probably the same as his blood gang, Song Ya shook her head, "It's none of my business anyway."

"Now you have switched to the upper-level route, and you are no longer involved in the topical singer Beef. I feel that 2PAC is already more popular than you in the lower-level group." Pierre Sutton was a little anxious for the new boss, "He agreed On the condition of Su Ge Knight's help in recruiting people, he transferred the singer's appointment from the record to the death row record, and the strong team, the new album will be released soon, and we will fight against you."

"I don't care about that."

There is no overlap between her new album and gangster rap, they are both strong singles from Tianqi, Song Ya is full of confidence.

"Mr. Dingkins, APLUS is here."

The two chatted while walking, Pierre took him to the small room where Dingkins was staying, helped close the door and left.

"Congratulations, boy, wow..."

Dingkins shook hands enthusiastically, looked at him with admiring eyes, and praised again and again, "How did you do it? At your age, I can't even give examples of white people of the same age..."

"Everything has not yet been finalized for Mr. Dingkins, that's just yesterday's stock price." Song Ya said modestly.

"Don't worry, the entire Internet industry and the investors behind it won't let the fall of Netscape's stock price become a joke. Sit down."

There was only Dingkins and himself in the room, "What are you going to do next?"

"Rationalize the inner city broadcasting company?" Song Ya replied: "I already have a plan to split some, sell some, and then withdraw some of the business..."

"Go ahead and do it, we all trust you." Dingkins looked at him now with loving eyes, "Your reform here will not encounter any resistance."

"That's great, thank you Mr. Dinkins."

"Don't thank me, you deserve it."

The two then chatted about the specific management of the inner city broadcasting company, "Linda will probably be my board representative, but she has to work on the record business, so at some point Dr. Chen and Alicia will help me Make up your mind, of course, they won't come forward directly."

Song Ya didn't want to take the risk of being criticized by the outside world for letting a Chinese and a white woman, especially a white woman like the wife of the governor of Illinois, join a purely African-American company.

"No problem, it's not the 1950s anymore. Your original intention is different from that of your predecessors. The Suttons and other executives will understand and help you keep it secret."

Before the introduction of racial discrimination policies in the 1960s, the laws of some states in the United States would directly stipulate which businesses black people could not intervene in, such as banking and real estate. At that time, two African-American businessmen in Texas had to hire a white blue-collar to help them negotiate business and Signing the contract, both of them are very rich, but they have to pretend to be the housekeeper and driver of the penniless white man, which is considered humiliating.

"By the way." Dinkins asked, "Did you join a fraternity at the University of Chicago?"

"Fraternity? No, I never lived on campus and never participated in any social activities at school."

American universities have a strong tradition of fraternities and sororities. There are many various fraternities. Some elite societies have high barriers to entry, have great energy, and have a wide network of contacts after graduation. Some are more Buddhist and have fewer contacts after graduation. Look at the students Personal wishes can basically be enriched and saved by others. It is a social activity that everyone needs to participate in. The only difference is whether you are a good one in the brotherhood.

Of course, a celebrity like himself has received invitations from almost all fraternities, but he declined all of them, because I heard that basically all fraternities have the bad habit of bullying newcomers, especially during the initiation ceremony, the seniors will design all kinds of insulting so-called Membership test, so as to screen out those who joined sincerely, often causing bullying scandals.

"Oh, that's not okay," Dinkins asked. "Is there any boy who doesn't join a frat."

"I planned to pass all the core courses before thinking about it. The elimination rate of the University of Chicago is quite high. I don't want to be distracted for the time being. You know, I have too little time to spend on my studies."

Song Ya also knows that there are some powerful brotherhoods all over the whole rice, and joining will have many benefits for future connections, but isn't he a billionaire now? The so-called network is still there without joining any brotherhood. In addition, there are more students at the University of Chicago who just bury their heads in their studies, and the tradition in this regard has not been as strong as those of the Ivy League schools. His excuse has been tried and tested.

Moreover, joining a fraternity generally represented his own political inclinations, which he needed to carefully consider and figure out.

"That's not okay, how about joining my fraternity? OmegaPsiPhi, we have a chapter at the University of Chicago." Dinkins asked: "Have you heard of it?"

"certainly."

OmegaPsiPhi was founded at Howard University where Dingkins was studying. It only accepts African-Americans. Michelle's husband seems to be a member too. In addition to Dingkins, there are also celebrities such as Jesse Jackson and Michael Jordan.

"Then join us, and I'll call Chicago?"

Dingkins can't wait to get things done right away.

"Uh, all right, you fight."

Song Ya thought for a moment that she didn't have many good choices. Joining a white fraternity is not suitable after all, and there are too few reliable black clubs. "But I don't have time to participate in club activities, especially what kind of ghost initiation ceremony." He Remind each other specifically.

"Don't worry, as long as you can help pay for the party of those boys from the University of Chicago chapter, you will be the local boss." Dingkins dialed happily.
