Chapter 764 ?

"Emmmm..."

Back in Malibu, Song Ya casually played with the new Windows 95, and felt that there was a big problem. This version is simply a leap forward compared to the previous 3.1, like... like a product of the next era, as you can see The concept of getting what you get is perfectly implemented, the operation is as smooth as silk, the user does not need to learn too much, and even the boot prompt sound is much more pleasing to the ear.

The idea of ​​reducing Microsoft's holdings is still dispelled.

"We can no longer invest money in those three crooks, no more!"

He is thinking about Microsoft and Netscape, while Jimmy and Dr. Chen and Dr. Mei have been arguing for a long time. Regarding the issue of continuing to invest in 3DFX, Jimmy, as the deceived party, firmly opposes it, while Chen and Mei are more inclined Keep throwing money in.

The three of them are the backbone of the A+ venture capital company. Dr. Chen, who has officially jumped into the job, is the president, Jimmy is in charge of legal affairs, and Dr. Mei is in charge of the 3DFX project. Before the end of the year, a small number of clerks will be recruited to do low-level work, roughly like this.

"They have received extensive support from the game industry. The ES version of the 3D acceleration chip will be produced in October. Now is the most critical two months. If you don't make up for the follow-up funds quickly, the previous money will be wasted."

Dr. Mei retorted: "Game companies are waiting to get that chip so they can go back and develop new 3D games based on it, games that are ahead of the times..."

"You've been lied to! Mei, you're still young, have you gotten along with those three liars in San Jose yet?"

Jimmy said loudly: "They are digging a hole for us to jump in at this point! Either continue to invest money, or go bankrupt and show you, right? They are eyeing the boss's money!"

The three of them subconsciously glanced at Song Ya. At the Windows 95 press conference, Microsoft did not say anything about the growing trend of the Internet. The next day, Netscape's stock skyrocketed. The mighty Microsoft would not end the competition, and investors had no worries. Today, the opening mark of 70 yuan was broken again, and the momentum seemed to be going straight to 100 dollars per share.

At one hundred dollars per share, the Netscape stock owned by Song Ya is worth more than 250 million...

Maybe the three guys at 3DFX saw this right and wanted to get money out of his fingers.

"Shh! Can you keep your voice down? Miss Kelly needs a break." Mariah Carey's female assistant came over and put her finger to her mouth.

The villa in Malibu is still too small, and the antique wooden doors are not very soundproof. Jimmy and the others expressed their apologies.

"APLUS, uh, boss, what do you think?" Dr. Chen lowered his voice and asked.

"I don't know either. Money is a small issue. I must never be a joke again."

Song Ya scratched her head in distress and looked towards the bedroom. After returning to Los Angeles, he and his wife had another big fight. Xingmeng's tears were also closed shortly after the cat and mouse game was closed. He took time during the day to accompany her to 20th Century Fox to watch They edited the film and made some comments, and then the two sides immediately had a disagreement.

The main focus is on her appearance in the first half of the film. This autobiographical film tells the story of her career and relationship from obscurity to fame, so he was about 16 to 18 years old when he appeared on the stage. Separated, she chose a ponytail style, sometimes a double ponytail, sometimes a side-to-side single ponytail.

Her forehead is relatively high, and there is no bangs left in front of her ponytail, which fully exposes the flaws of her face. Coupled with her poor acting skills, she winks and discharges her eyes, pretends to be young, and pretends to be cute.

In the reality of this kind of modeling, Song Ya has long complained about it, but she still does not change her infatuation, and then increases the proportion of the big screen...

What a disaster.

She also narcissistically imitates Rita Hayworth's amazing appearance in the old Gildary movie, the part where the prison inmates go crazy in Shawshank Redemption.

"Gilda, are you ready?" the man asked.

"Me?" Rita Hayworth appeared in front of the camera, shaking her long hair.

And she was swinging a side ponytail, in the back seat of the taxi...

So fucking happy!

Song Ya saw her in the future A no no MV in a trance.

But Xingmeng Tears will definitely not be a comedy. Without DIVA, she would deliberately pretend to be ugly when making movies, and that’s not how she pretends to be ugly. No matter how much Song Ya persuaded her during the day, she couldn’t get rid of her stubbornness. Women are like this. No matter how beautiful I am, I don't allow others to say a bad word.

"This paragraph doesn't help the plot..." Song Ya persuaded.

"I don't think I'm very satisfied with this part," she said.

"Cut it off, there is something wrong with the appearance."

"What's the problem?"

"Single ponytail, if you poke your head forward from the back seat, your forehead will be stretched wide and high by the big screen..."

"I like this look very much, don't you like it?"

"I don't really like..."

"Um?"

"Uh, I like it, but the audience will find it weird."

"What's wrong?"

"It looks kind of funny..."

"So you think I'm ugly?"

"I mean it's funny."

"You're just calling me ugly, I understand it!" She got angry, and then fell into the reincarnation of the two people's previous quarrel, and the subject was quickly twisted to the rape on the bed.

"You asked me to help you and you don't listen now! It's just cutting some scenes!" Song Ya was very upset.

"What you cut off was my youth, my girlhood!" She was about to shed tears.

I had no choice but to soften up, "Is there time for reshoots now? Call the director? Let's discuss it."

"Don't say it! You said you were willing to help, but you flew around whenever you have time! Don't you have to overspend on reshoots? Last time you scolded me for not being able to control the project budget!"

"That's not the same thing! I'm making money! Don't you see how strong my Netscape stock is?"

"You don't care about me at all... Besides, I don't have time. The first single of the new album is about to be released in September, and the release schedule is very tight."

"What else can I do, cut it off."

"No!"

"Cut it off! Otherwise, don't blame me for rushing to the street after the movie is released."

"Don't cut it! It's your fault!"

The two quarreled more and more fiercely. Song Ya turned her manager Sandy Glenn to the side for help. The old fox had already seen the direction of the wind, "That's it, APLUS, Mimi's first movie..."

In the end, the two returned home sullen with each other. She was also very busy and tired recently, so she slammed the bedroom door and went to bed.

"To vote for 3DFX, or not to vote, the boss has to be decided immediately, and it's only a few days before 3DFX is out of business." Dr. Chen said.

"Let them die!" Jimmy yelled.

"Emotional can't solve anything." Dr. May retorted to Jimmy, "The three of them are not that bad, otherwise John Carmack and those gamers wouldn't have cooperated with them at all."

"John Carmack has been fighting Microsoft lately."

"Microsoft is a software company. Although it has homogeneous API products with 3DFX, 3DFX ultimately makes money by selling chips."

"Believe me, when we invest money in making the ES version of the chip, before the chip is mass-produced, maybe they will use the same trick to play us again, can you believe it? Of course they will be happy if they have money to burn , If we bite to death and don’t give money, maybe they can find a way, such as bank loans or something.”

"They can't lend much."

"Aren't those big players in the game industry on good terms with them? They don't want to invest?"

"The game industry is not doing well right now. The competition between game consoles and game companies is very fierce!"

Jimmy and Dr. Mei unconsciously raised the volume again, "Stop, let's go to the beach and talk, and take a walk." Song Ya was afraid that they would disturb Mariah Carey's rest, so she simply took them out.

With his feet on the soft sand, Song Ya followed the three of them who continued to debate in a leisurely manner with his hands behind his back.

"Dr. Chen, you are from my venture capital company, what do you think?" Song Ya asked.

"cast."

Dr. Chen replied firmly, "The 3D game field will create a demand for graphics cards. This has been well proved by the notebook game console manufacturers. ATI is already one step ahead of us."

"FXXK!" Jimmy kicked the sand.

He is only in charge of legal affairs. Song Ya doesn't want to learn from MJ and hand over the management of the business to lawyers, "But you can't vote stupidly, right? Jimmy is right. There is not enough money for those three guys from 3DFX to burn it." , Jim Clark reminded me yesterday that it is best to put a bridle on them, maybe we can take this opportunity to force them to accept professional managers as presidents, or even CEOs, and drive them back to focus on the technology they are good at.”

"After this round of voting, we may still not be able to fully control the 3DFX board of directors." Dr. Chen reminded him.

"That won't work. They've already stood on the edge of a cliff. The boss will lose five million dollars at most. They were knocked back to their prototypes in an instant from the hope of becoming a technology hero like Mark Anderson. Are we anxious or are they anxious?" Jimmy said.

What do you mean I will lose five million at the worst? Hey! Song Ya rolled her eyes, but Jimmy's words did make sense, "You've been making a lot of crooked ideas, Jimmy, is there any good way this time?"

"Even if we want to invest, we can't do a step-by-step public venture capital round. We directly force them to reduce their 3DFX shares and come to us for money." Jimmy said.

"It's also been communicated that they don't want to." Dr. Mei said.

"Hmm, not necessarily."

Song Ya started pacing again, "Isn't the project in the hands of A+ venture capitalists a real example? Palm's Jeffrey Hawkins likes to concentrate on technology, and, DTS's Terry Beard, that slow-witted guy who made Wall Street people They all procrastinated so badly that they had no choice but to conditionally agree to postpone the listing..."

"It's only a few days, can it be delayed?" Dr. Chen asked: "And if they really give in at the last moment, you will become the largest single shareholder of venture capital, and the industry generally avoids this situation."

"It's okay." Song Ya walked to the beach, "Drag, prepare the capital increase documents in advance. If they refuse to sign, everyone's money will be wasted. I lost five million. They go back to the technology company and continue to work for others."

"Then they may find other original investors to make money, and they are also trapped in 3DFX..."

"Don't worry, I don't want to vote, and now no one else dares to vote."
