Chapter 1116: The Time to Wake Up

APLUS appeared in the local court in Chicago today, and after two months of awakening, the local court has ended its indefinite recess and resumed hearing Barn's case. In addition, a series of charges against him last year have been dropped, which proves APLUS's innocence......

He's looking pretty good. ’

'Really? You will still need to be wheelchair accessed. ’

The two news anchors are a bit controversial.

Silicon Valley, Sunnyvale, DeLay was watching TV at home, "Phew! Drama Spirit! He took a sip at Song Ya, who kissed the cross in the picture, and changed the channel.

"Mrs. Flock, Mrs. Flock!"

Although she defected to her old club again, it was still inconvenient for Acelia to follow Will and Diane in the Barnes case, she was envious and jealous, and began to make trouble, and it happened that she was 'caught' by reporters at the gate of the local hospital in New Mexico where Goodman was treated.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to say." Without waiting for the reporter to continue to ask questions, she ruffled her hair sullenly and said.

"What did you talk to about APLUS's former private lawyer?"

"Did he really steal tens of millions of meters of APLUS knives?"

"What exactly was his role in the IPO of the American music site?!"

Journalists are rambling.

"No comment." She pulled the cab.

"Mrs. Flock, does Mr. Governor of Illinois support your cause? Rumor has it that you have been separated for a long time......"

"Nonsense!"

She was willing to answer this question, and Zhengse refuted, "We are in a stable relationship, and Peter is very supportive of my career, OK?" I have been back in law for many years now, and we have a good balance between work and family......"

"Mrs. Flock!"

She got into the car and drove away.

The TV station began to broadcast the next news, and DeLay stood there in a daze with the remote control.

Here's the financial news, Netscape held a grand celebration of its second anniversary today, in the browser war with Microsoft, their market share has decreased, but the interim financial report shows that the company is operating well, and the sales and service revenue of intranet software for major customers has become a new growth point. Mark Anderson also announced a major price drop promotion for the Navigator browser......

On the positive news, Netscape's stock price once again launched an attack on the 80-dollar mark, and President Bacsd continued to strongly criticize the unfair competition behavior of competitors, and he called on the judicial department to speed up the trial process of Microsoft's monopoly case. ’

The sound of the news broadcast gradually turned into his ears again, and he turned his head to look at the desk calendar on the table, August 9.

Originally, I should be in the NASDAQ exchange in Times Square, New York, today, but at this time, I just rang the closing bell and was also interviewed by the financial media, right?

In the past two years, he has dreamed back every midnight, always fantasizing about the arrival of this day, and he has even prepared a full set of outfits.

Today should have been its own Amerika Music website moment, just like the Netscape moment two years ago.

"Damn it!"

He suddenly frantically threw the remote control at the TV, and pulled out a cardboard box from under his desk, which was full of neatly stacked, custom-made baseball caps, white, and a beautiful logo of the American music website on the front.

β€œFXXK!”

Now that it's all waste, he took out his hat and threw it around the room.

'Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, ......' landline suddenly rang.

"What's the matter!?" He picked up the microphone in silence.

"BOSS, aren't you coming to the company yet? Former A+ Audio employees protested at the door, saying they were going to file a class action lawsuit against us if they didn't get fair pay. ”

The in-house lawyer for the America Music website asked.

"What's the matter with me!? They were fired by APLUS, and so was I! I'm not the president of that company anymore, so let them go to APLUS if they have anything! Delay roared.

"That's not the case, uh...... Many of them had a lot of responsibility for building and managing the website before they split up with us, and now they are demanding the same treatment as the website staff. ”

The lawyer reminded that "they have evidence in their hands and go to court, and we are likely to be judged to have deceived and misled the employees' future career plans and transfers when the two companies were separated...... Anyway, you better come back, the people of Demingxin are here again. ”

"Damn it!"

Before the American music website was spun off, DeLay left some redundant personnel with debts in the parent company A+ Audio in order to get the new company into battle, so that the data on the prospectus would look much better.

In any case, the website was his only hope, and the work had to be done, and he scolded and went out.

Anyway, he can't run away, APLUS really wants to be a black hand, and he will definitely not live long, so he is simply single, there is only one bodyguard and driver at the door, and when he saw him come out, he trotted to open the Mercedes-Benz door.

"Go to the company."

He hadn't gotten far from his home when he spotted a familiar trailing vehicle behind him, and he knew who was behind them, "I'm looking for Mr. Icahn." He pulled out his phone and dialed a call.

"He doesn't have time to talk to you, just leave anything to me." A cold voice on the other head replied that it was Carl Icahn's men.

"I'm not going to run! I won't be a mole! ”

His emotions reached a critical point again, "You advise you to go to New Mexico and talk to Goodman more!" ”

"I don't understand what you're saying, Delay." The other party will never show his handle on the phone.

"Warn Mr. Icahn on my behalf that he will certainly lose money if the IPO fails to go public on time, but if you get the conclusive evidence of being involved in the illegal transaction with APLUS's private lawyer, your reputation of Icahn Capital will be in jeopardy."

He wasn't the keyboardist he used to be, his eyes were very open, he knew what Cal Icaan was afraid of, "What's the use of staring at me now!?" When your investors retreat...... Jordan Belfort and other Wall Street stinkerchiefs who are messing around in the securities industry, and New York's donkey party prosecutors have arrested dozens of them in the past four years, right? New York Mayor Giuliani of the Elephant Party also has a bad impression of you, Mr. Icahn, although he has a lot of influence and funds, don't think that you can always be invincible! ”

"Hehe, let's wait and see, Delay." The other party smiled siniskly and hung up.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Delay waited, and the private detective who was following him showed no sign of giving up, and he had no choice but to ignore it.

After APLUS put A+ Audio into bankruptcy again, Amerika Music had to move its computer room and office space away from the original A+ Audio headquarters building, which had a cheap lease, a little far from his home.

Cursing all the way, his spirit became more and more tense, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen former employees of A+ Audio Company holding signs outside the new company building, people didn't expect much, and he was slightly relieved to recognize his car and glared at this side but did not show any violent tendencies.

"You're too greedy, Delay, none of these questions should have been a problem."

Demingxin's people were already waiting outside the door of the conference room, looking at the protesters downstairs outside the window, and then pointed to this new place, "Let's talk?" ”

"If it's the same clichΓ©s as before, I don't think there's any need to ...... I can't satisfy you. Delay dropped his sentence and walked past them to his office, because the newly rented place had been moved in a hurry, and the hall outside was the workers' workstations, and everyone saw that they had put down their work and stared in confusion.

"Do your job!" DeLay roared, and the employees bowed their heads.

"Hehe......"

Demingxin's people followed, "Today should be the day of the IPO, according to our previous agreement on listing VAM...... You've defaulted. ”

"Are you flies? Always buzzing...... Old! ”

Delay scolded angrily, "I can't control this matter, you go and talk to the company's major shareholder, Icahn Capital!" ”

"It is rumored that you actually own a portion of the proportional capital contribution of the two specialized funds of Icahn Capital, and you are the actual controller of this company."

"In all the previous meetings, both of you acquiesced to this, didn't you?" ”

"You know it's a rumor, right? Lawyer! ”

Delay rushed people, "Either continue to support me or see you in court, you choose for yourself!" Now,! ”

The company's in-house lawyer came in.

"It's not you, what about them?" DeLay refers to lawyers from well-known local law firms who assisted in IPOs.

"They...... Uh......" in-house lawyer slurred.

"What's wrong?"

"They said that continuing to serve us would damage the firm's reputation, and they just sent a notice that they have initiated the agreement withdrawal process." In-house counsel submits a document.

"Wow......" De Mingxin sighed cheaply beside him.

Delay felt a darkness in front of him, and held on to the boss's desk to try to keep his composure, "Then they will have a lot of money that they won't be able to get." ”

"They said it was acceptable." The in-house lawyer replied.

"Damn ......" Delay had nothing to do but curse for his incompetence, he felt betrayed by the whole world.

The man in the wheelchair woke up, and it seemed that he hadn't done anything more than anything more drastic to himself in the past two months, but his shadow was overshadowed, but it seemed to be everywhere, oppressive and oppressive.

He shouldn't have woken up! That's a big mistake!

Arguing, swearing, being scolded, and then hiding in the locked office staring at the dwindling amount of cash on the account, this kind of life has been almost a month, "Get out!" Get out! He signed the resignation of a former Louise reporting editor who is now the website's entertainment editor, and turned his head to look out the window, where it was already dark.

'Blade's global box office has exceeded 200 million yuan, and Halle Berry, the heroine of the French promotional movie, talks about APLUS with a sweet look of concern, she claims to talk to APLUS often on the phone, exchanging words, she hopes APLUS will recover and return soon......

The bodyguard and driver hurriedly changed the car radio.

At the end of the day, he returned home exhausted to find that the hats that had been littered on the floor had been cleaned up, and the room was tidy again.

"Without you, I don't know if I can hold on......"

He instantly relaxed a lot, like returning to the protective harbor of his soul, and hugged his girlfriend who had been with him for many years and was wiping the table from behind, "I really ......"

'Smack! ’

Unexpectedly, my girlfriend gave a slap in the face when she returned her hand, "What is this!?" He asked with tears in his eyes.

It turned out that she didn't wipe the table again, but looked at some pictures on the table and cried, and Delay looked at it with a golden star, and almost fainted on the spot, and the table was covered with pictures of herself and Al and Big A fooling around at Chicago dance bars and parties.

"It's just entertainment,......," he quibbled.

"What about these!?" A few more photos were scolded, and they were even more unbearable, drunkenly hugging two stripping girls, still black girls, and seeing each other frankly.

There is a date below the photo, which is after getting back together with his girlfriend.

"APLUS sent them to sow discord, dear, you know it's very fun over there, I don't fit in like that......"

'Smack! Another slap in the face, "I followed you in high school, Delay!" The girlfriend broke down and cried, picking up the luggage that had already been packed.

"Don't go, don't go, dear ......"

He grabbed the corner of the other party's clothes and begged, "I won't be in the future, I will be a billionaire in a moment, and then marry you." ”

"You think I'm with you for money!?"

My girlfriend struggled to dodge the pull and rushed out of the door, "Others say I'm stupid, otherwise you wouldn't insist on delaying the wedding until after the company goes public, and tricked me into signing a prenuptial agreement!" ”

"So what?!"

Delay also collapsed, and shouted at her back without any desire to survive, "You forgive me, get back together with me, or what!?" Can you still find a man as promising as me? You don't look at how old you are now, a woman as old as me, in her thirties...... Countless girls younger and more beautiful than you have thrown themselves into their arms, if I didn't love you, I would have ...... long ago What kind of life do you see APLUS living!? Those female celebrities ......"

'Smack! ’

The girlfriend came back and slapped him again, whining and crying into the car.

"Don't leave me! What I just said was angry! Awakened, Delay rushed over and banged on the window again, "Ah! ”

He was knocked down by the starting car and rolled onto the main road.

β€œFXXK! FXXK! ”

Looking at the distant rear taillights, he cursed and went back to his deserted home to call Al, "When were those pictures taken!?" You betrayed me! Al! ”

"I don't know, Big A said he could find it, there was a photographer at that time? Still a DJ, with a camera, I drank too much......"

Al explained.

"That's not what I'm talking about!? Is it necessary to send the photos to my girlfriend!? Delai asked: "I haven't treated you badly, I just have some minor problems with APLUS!" ”

Al was silent on the other end of the line.

"Answer me! Al! ”

"You brought it on, Delay." Al sighed and hung up.
