Let Linda rush to Silicon Valley with the authorization documents, and let Goodman go from Chicago to help his brother review the contract, it has been almost March, and this is the first venture capital that Song Ya has made in 94 years, and he has patronized consumption.

Although he was a little quiet in the process, Song Ya still liked Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, both the founders of the company that mastered technology, Mark Anderson was much more savvy than Terry Bilder of DTS and Jeffrey Hawkins of Palm, and he knew what he wanted. Not to mention Jim Clark, whose judgment of the DTS's status quo as a 'gladiatorial arena for the crowd' and his assertion that Mark has Mosaic royal lineage struck his heart, and the SGI founder really didn't give it for nothing.

It may not be too pleasant to cooperate and play with smart people, but it should be closer to success.

Jim Clark has learned a lot of lessons from the SGI's struggle to go public and capital, so the stake in the new company, which is named after Mosaic Communications and has a clear relationship with Mosaic's browser heritage, is particularly straightforward, with him taking the lion's share, Mark Anderson taking the small stake in technology, giving 20 percent to the well-known venture capital KPCB, and the remaining 5 percent to himself who is willing to pay the highest premium.

Only these four parties participate, and only themselves do not have the right to vote.

"Okay, Jimmy, next you go on a business trip to Huaguo to find out how I spent the three million dollars in Wanyan and what the specific situation of the business over there is."

Jimmy's mission is average, but there is no one in his hands who can be trusted and used at the moment, "Song Asheng is over there, you go to him to lead the way." ”

Song Ya is going to increase the difficulty of the work to Jimmy, if Wan Yan's performance can still be roughly satisfactory to him, let him keep an eye on Mosaic Communications, Wan Yan and Palm, the three unattended venture capital stalls in the future.

Next up is he has to deal with the 'gladiatorial arena of the gangsters'.

While he still had some free time, he went to David Geffen's home in Beverly Hills.

"Bot?"

At the door of the office, I happened to meet David Geffen and MJ's co-lawyer Botfield, "Long time no see." ”

"Hello APLUS." Botfield looked in a bad mood, shook his hand, and continued walking.

"How's MJ's case? Is the situation okay? Song Ya asked him.

"It's none of my business, I'm out!" Botfield dropped a sentence.

"What's wrong with Bot?" Song Ya walked into the office and asked David Geffen.

"MJ blamed him for the failure to handle the whole case."

David Geffen shrugged, "It's true that someone should take responsibility, it's just him, MJ gave him a decent and voluntarily resigned." ”

He was also reluctant to talk about MJ, and Song Ya only knew that the prosecutions in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties were not going well, and that the evidence should eventually be submitted to the grand jury for the grand jury to decide whether to initiate criminal proceedings against MJ.

Botfield was responsible for the preliminary legal negotiations with the plaintiff's dentist, although MJ later hired the strongest black defense lawyer Cochran and others to form an all-star team of lawyers to take over, but the mistake in the early response was already very big, and Botfield's pot really couldn't get rid of it.

Of course, it is difficult for outsiders to know the specific inside story, and Botfield is limited by the lawyer-client agreement, and it is estimated that he will not say it, at least not to himself.

The two chatted about the topic, "I have very little stake in DTS, and I don't want to involve too much energy in this matter. David Geffen said.

In the current DTS, David Geffen and Katzenberg, who have fewer shares, are the party that supports the acceleration of the listing, and the founder Terry Bilder did not express his position, but it should be in favor of them, after all, the company's valuation cannot be eaten or drunk, and the company's listing is the real value. Even if it is not listed, it is not bad to have a C round and bring in Wall Street investors to cash out some of the stocks.

On the other hand, he and Spielberg, who own a large number of shares, plan to wait for more global films using DTS technology to be released, and the company's valuation will reach a satisfactory level before introducing latecomers to ensure that the profits are maximized.

But the parties involved did not show a clear attitude due to various considerations, David Geffen and Katzenberg were secretly pushing, but they were unwilling to tear up Spielberg's face because of this little thing, and Terry Bilder was also undecided about the two options.

"I've heard a very interesting statement."

Song Ya relayed Jim Clark's evaluation of DTS to David Geffen, "Maybe this state is the worst for us, the other onlookers have already seen through it very clearly, only we are trapped in it and do not know it, and it has become a joke in the eyes of others." ”

"Your mind has changed?" David Geffen asked.

"Actually, I don't have any ideas, I follow Delay's suggestion, and I don't have much energy to focus on specific businesses." Song Ya didn't hide anything.

"I've heard that you gave your companion some forward promises, beware of a mismatch between his interests and yours." David Geffen meant something.

"I know, I woke up as soon as I heard Jim Clark say that."

This is the reason why Song Ya ran this trip, Delai has a three-year and five-year equity incentive, and the later DTS is listed, the more beneficial it is for him, and this is indeed not necessarily consistent with his own interests.

He came over to show his attitude to David Geffen this time and did not inform Delay, but only said hello to him afterwards.

"The gladiatorial arena of the gangsters?"

David Geffen shook his head with a smile, "We Hollywood people always let emotions dominate the will, and if we do something together, we will fight each other unconsciously, maybe this is the so-called artist temperament." "We're really not as calm and sophisticated as the tech and Wall Street guys," he laughed at himself. ”

"What are you going to do with APLUS now?" He asked.

"Maybe we should introduce some professional companies, and trust professional people, it's better than arguing with our own people like now." Song Ya replied.

"So your attitude has changed?"

"Yes, maybe it's a good choice to start the Series C financing as soon as possible and let someone on Wall Street take over the design of a specific listing plan." Song Ya replied.

"Good boy."

David Geffen was delighted and put his arm around his shoulders to personally send him out of the villa. "I've been a little disappointed with MJ lately, he's so childish, maybe we should go deeper together." At the door, he stopped to suggest.

"I have a lot of respect for MJ, Mr. Geffen."

The idea of replacing it can't be spoken, especially in the face of David Geffen, who has worked closely with MJ, "Of course I love working with you, and you take good care of me, whether it's in the record industry or Hollywood, I'm grateful." ”

David Geffen seemed to be very useful for complimenting himself, and he said a few more words, "To make good music, you can't lose your basic plate, although you made a lot of money in that chemical factory business, but you must know that you relied on the influence of your music career to drive the trend of fluorescent nights, including in the matter of DTS, your confidence comes from your records, and maybe your movies will be added in the future." Don't forget that. ”

"Yes, I understand."

Song Ya knows that this advice is indeed very pertinent, and now the outside world is questioning his musical talent more and more, many people are swearing that APLUS is going to be outdated, and the popularity of the first album song is not very good.

But when the original soundtrack of my life comes out, I believe it will make a bunch of people fall through their glasses.

It's David Geffen's salty pig hands that he rests on his shoulders and keeps kneading gently......

On March 1, he accompanied Mariah Carey to the 36th Annual Grammy Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

The invincible Whitney Houston sang "Will Always Love You" in the opening performance in white, and the live effect was very shocking, worthy of her name as the voice of America.

"There's a bass pitch that breaks, and it's half a pitch down."

Mariah Carey's Best Female Pop Singer award was lost in her hands again, and like Song Ya, she didn't get anything, and she whispered jealously halfway through.

"You're the best, Mimi." Song Ya hurriedly patted his girlfriend's ass.

In the '94 awards season, the biggest winner definitely belonged to Whitney Houston, who won almost every prize she could get.

The remaining small winner is Donnie Breston, who is a regular at various Best Newcomer awards, although she is not too young among female singers.

There's also Drew, the mainstream award in hip-hop music has finally 'seen' the gang rapper, Dre has swept two hip-hop awards at the AMA, and this year's Grammy's Best Rapper.

This is also related to the fact that LL Cool J, Will Smith and other award-winning regulars who have been praised by Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons are becoming more and more unpopular......

"APLUS, LADY PERKINSLEY ASKED ME TO GIVE IT TO YOU."

At the end of the awards ceremony and when everyone left, a strange white man handed a note to Song Ya.

When I looked at it, there was only the words 'Capitol Records' and a number of 'eight million'.

Song Ya crumpled the note expressionlessly and threw it to the side of the road in front of the other party.
