Chapter 794: The Chip Comes Out
'Singer APLUS held a grand dinner at his home in Chicago last night to celebrate his first inclusion in the Mi Rich List. According to calculations by Fujibi magazine, more than half of his nearly 500 million fortune comes from technology and stock investments, followed by record industry income, Real estate, personal clothing brands...'
A fluorescent product factory transaction between APLUS and Dow in the early years was considered an excellent case of cooperation between entertainment stars and traditional industries. The global fluorescent party trend was brought about by this young singer, and he was also a concert fluorescent stick Great promoters of cheer goods. '
'Mariah Carey also temporarily suspended the fiery publicity schedule and returned to Chicago. Her single Fantasy and album Daydream occupied the first place on the double chart respectively. Broken rumors. '
The next day, on the way home from school, Song Ya listened to the local radio all the way.
"Huh?" Linda in the passenger seat answered the phone and immediately turned off the car radio, reporting: "Dr. Chen said that Netscape just took over the groupware program company and is making an announcement about it."
"Those guys don't even call me hello..."
Song Ya grinned, "It seems that Jim and the others finally can't bear the fact that the stock price can't break through the 100-yuan mark. That's right, one of the financing promises made at the time of listing is to grow rapidly through mergers and acquisitions, and they must be fulfilled."
"Will the market buy it?" Linda asked.
"Look at the stock price performance on Monday."
He actually doesn't dislike Netscape's approach. Now he doesn't worship Daniel very much, but he still has infinite admiration and trust for Jim Clark. He accepts my two million dollars and gets back more than two hundred million dollars in one fell swoop. He may even go further. Rising, except for his attitude, he almost didn't do anything bad at all, and that guy is too NICE.
"Oh, by the way, Linda, Mimi did have a showdown with me last night. She said something about how she feels about you. In the future, you will be wronged. As the general manager, concentrate on managing A+ records. I will transfer Dr. Mei back to be my manager." Personal affairs and administrative and investment assistants, Taraji in charge of record and film direction, and Ms Sloan in charge of politics and public relations."
Song Ya lightly drank wine to release his military power, and killed people with a knife.
"Uh... Taraji is willing to come back?" Linda was caught off guard.
"Yes, Mimi didn't recognize her, and she hasn't been doing well in Hollywood recently..." Song Ya laughed: "It's been a while since I've made a movie, and I'm saving that small cost' How do I stop this ’ After that, I’ll give it a shot while I find someone more suitable.”
After David Geffen bought the movie,
Through the distribution channel that DreamWorks had just established, it was screened on a small scale in several art theaters, and the total box office was only a few thousand dollars.
"Ms. Sloan is the top lobbyist on Capitol Hill." Linda asked again, "Will she be your assistant?"
"I didn't want to before, but now I am Linda, the 300th richest person in Mimi. In order to find a satisfactory personal consultant and public relations manager, I paid a lot of money."
Song Ya continued to laugh: "Of course, if you want to stay by my side, I will persuade Mimi again. I thought what you said to me last time..."
"Well, of course, I also think it's time."
The good thing is that it was Linda who proposed it herself, and Mariah Carey really hated her, so she couldn't do more to struggle, "Your configuration is very reasonable, boss, it really needs the cooperation of multiple people to share your daily affairs."
"Yes, ethnic diversity, the perfect presentation of Mr. Dingkins' mosaic concept."
The car drove into Highland Park, "Most of the time, only Dr. May is by my side, and Mimi is also happy to see a man accompany me."
Dr. Mei is of Chinese descent. In the future, I don't have to worry about Linda who naturally supports MJ and is difficult to get around. It will be much more convenient to do something.
"I see, when is the handover?"
"Just today, I called them all, you see."
Song Ya pointed to the entrance of the villa. Taraji was talking affectionately with Mariah Carey and Brenda arm in arm, while Ms. Sloan and Dr. May were chatting.
"This Taraji..."
Linda shook her head with a wry smile, opened the door to get out of the car, and greeted Taraji and the others.
Because of that night, Taraji will not be bought by his wife, or she will pretend to be bought, double agent, like now, "Boss, thank you for bringing me back." Tara frustrated in Hollywood Ji said energetically.
"Do you still want to act?" Song Ya asked as she got out of the car with a smile.
"Of course, I won't give up." Taraji replied firmly.
"Well, there is always a chance. You can go for an audition when the blade fighter is cast, but it's just an audition." Song Ya spread the words, "But I want to use your relationship with Yeremov and the others, It shouldn't be difficult to get a good role."
"Thank you for your good words. Black actors in Hollywood heard that you are going to shoot Blade Warrior, and now they are already competing." Taraji asked, "Are there many related roles?"
"a lot of."
After the cat-and-mouse game started to publicize the hype, the all-white movie caused some negative effects on Song Ya in the black circle of Hollywood. The Blade Warrior project can very well quell those potential troubles. A lot of supporting roles, positive and negative vampire characters are overwhelmingly white, and some Chinese martial artists will be used in the action scenes.”
"Where's the director?" Taraji asked.
"Let's talk to Linda about this. As for the director, Catherine wants to use her husband, but the special effects part of Congo Horror directed by her husband is very bad. Yeremov wants to invite the big director Stanley Tang from Xiangjiang, and of course Zack Schneider, it's a little unreasonable not to make him a real director...Marvel also has a favorite candidate, and everything must be considered comprehensively."
Song Ya sent her to make a handover with Linda, and put her arms around Yin Qin's wife who rushed over, "The radio station said that you interrupted the announcement schedule, is it okay?"
"There is a problem. I have to leave tomorrow. I really hate to leave you." Mariah Carey said sadly.
"Career is the most important thing. After the end of the year, we will go to the Bahamas for vacation. Hayden is already repairing there." Song Ya pinched her face.
She remembered something, and pulled Brenda over who was winking, "Also, she asked you about the MTV Unplugged concert."
"Oh, I'll ask MTV to change the song back later, it's a small matter."
Song Ya was easy to speak, "You are so kind..." Mariah Carey kissed him on the face, and Brenda's face relaxed.
The two returned to the study together, and Ms. Sloan and Dr. May followed.
Mariah Carey is a little wary of beautiful white milf Sloan, but she doesn't dare to let it go.
"Dr. Mei, don't be restrained, everything around me will depend on you in the future." Song Ya beckoned Dr. Mei, who was shrinking behind Sloan, to move forward, "Has the venture capital company completed the handover with Dr. Chen? "
"Yes, the handover is complete, and I'm going to do the handover with Linda soon. Oh, yes, this..."
Dr. Mei took out a square chip and a display card from his bag, "This is the ES version chip of 3DFX, code-named Voodoo, this is a public version test card entrusted to the board manufacturer Orchid, all of which have been successfully produced and tested. Pass the test."
"oh?"
Song Ya picked up the chip with great interest. There was a 3DFX logo on the silver-gray back, and a few strings of alphanumeric codes. The letter TAIWAN in the lower left corner was very conspicuous. ah."
"Yes, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company)." Dr. Mei replied.
"Not bad, really good."
Song Ya picked up the display card again. In addition to the Voodoo chip, there were dense capacitors and other unnamed chips on it. Several black rectangular chips were soldered on the right side, which were very conspicuous. "This is..."
"Video memory."
"OK, I understand."
Song Ya doesn't care about this, he only cares about when the official product will be launched.
"Ross said next June, just in time for the deadline you requested." Dr. Mei said, "The public test graphics card has been distributed to other graphics card brands, as well as game developers, and they will cooperate with us at that time. commercial chips to launch their own hardware and software products, and jointly create an ecology.”
"Those three liars..."
Song Ya scolded, "Okay, don't give me any more problems then." Recalling that at that time, I also had a rock song called Voodoo, which happened to be released as a product commercial song and the graphics card at the same time. It is convenient to sing rock music, and the original version has a smoky voice, so I can't learn it. Is it time for A+ records to sign a rock band?
He was lost in thought.
