"Ali! Woowoo woo woo ......"

Aunt Susie and Tony both came to pick them up, and Song Ya hugged and cried with a smile on the return of the king, "Okay, okay, aunt, I'm about to fall apart." ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

Aunt Susie hurriedly let go of him and wiped her tears with her hand, "We all thought you wouldn't wake up, ...... Ari"

"Hey!"

Tony smiled and stretched out his fist, and Song Ya raised his hand with difficulty and touched him lightly.

Relatives tacitly did not mention what happened during the coma, including Connie, who was babbling, "The airport is too windy for APLUS to be exposed for too long." But Sloane still didn't want to give her a chance to speak, and immediately said when he saw Connie's mouth open.

"Okay, then let's ...... Let's get in the car, and I'll help you...... I got it. ”

Tony diligently squeezed aside the nurse to pick up the work, and worked with the silencer to easily lift people with wheelchairs into the ambulance.

Song Ya's black Mercedes convoy huddled back and forth, driving on the streets of Chicago as it had been more than five months ago, seemingly unchanged.

"Thank you, doctor."

After the wheelchair was stuck in the car, Song Ya showed a more sincere smile and thanked the attending physician at the University of Chicago Medical Center, who was one of the real benefactors, and the patient was in a coma for four months, but still withstood Goodman's pressure and perhaps private temptation, and did not issue a certificate of his continuous vegetative status.

The doctors and professors at such top hospitals have high incomes and social status, and their work ethic is still very secure, and there is no reason not to continue to use them when you return to Chicago.

"I'm ashamed that Princeton cured you." The other party said sourly.

I have been here for four months, and I have been sober for a month when I went to House, and the perception of the outside world is ......

In short, the University of Chicago Medical Center is bitter.

"Haha, they're just shit luck, I'll donate a lot of money to you." Song Yale hehe's hanging guarantee.

The motorcycle paparazzi and the reporters waiting at the gate were disappointed, the ambulance drove into Highland Park without stopping, and the TV helicopter hovered far in the air outside the rich area.

“APLUS！” Another big 'hero', O'Grady of Northern Trust, was already in the hall, talking to 3DFX's president Ballard and other board representatives, and saw himself affectionately quip, "What? Is this back to work!? ”

"What to do?"

Song Ya smiled bitterly, but she didn't see the trio of liars who 'came to life' to make themselves angry.

Some white men and women in the villa gathered, probably Xue Linfen's relatives, but now he didn't have the energy, and he didn't want to talk to these people, they met Tony and Connie's enemies, and they didn't look good at each other but didn't tear them apart on the spot.

Song Ya gave Old Mike a look, and the old man properly invited these people to the swimming pool outside.

Including O'Grady, everyone looked at them with curiosity in their eyes, "Please wait, I'll come down right away." ”

After a few pleasantries, Tony and the silencer carried him to the second floor with the nurse, and the nurse had already sorted out a room as a recovery ward, and he went in to look at it and expressed his satisfaction, letting Linda push him to the door of the master bedroom.

"Tony." Linda glared, chased Tony away, and pushed Songya through the door.

"Sansa, look who's coming!"

As soon as Xue Linfen, who was lying in bed, saw him, tears couldn't stop flowing, and when his wheelchair arrived at the bedside, she lifted her eldest daughter, who was only a few days old, to him with a complaining and flattering look.

"It's beautiful...... Pretty as you are, oh oh oh. Song Ya didn't have the strength to hug it, looking at the crumpled little baby and laughing and coaxing, rubbing the tip of her nose, "Is it called Sansa?" It's so cute. ”

"I'm sorry...... I...... I really don't have the energy to care about Goodman and them ......with a big belly," Xue Linfen took the opportunity to explain pitifully.

"It's none of your business......"

"Daddy!" The babysitter came in with little Robb and Jon, and little Robb jumped on his lap very affectionately, "How did you lose weight!" ”

"Hmm."

Song Ya played with them for a while, "You have a good rest, Xue Lin, I'll go down for a meeting first." ”

"Do you have to work when you come back?" Xue Linfen asked.

"Hmm."

It turned out that there were two plainclothes police officers from the Chicago Police Department mixed in with the group of directors just now, and after Song Ya went downstairs, "We need your confirmation and signing, Mr. APLUS." ”

After the shooting and the riot, Chicago politicians were very nervous about what was going on on their side, and the aunt and son of the Xue Linfen family, who was in charge of guarding the keys, stole a lot of things and wanted to get out to pay off the money.

"Okay. Sloane. ”

Song Ya glanced at the yellow Oscar statuette and other valuables in the transparent plastic bag, and asked Sloan to help him hold the pen again, dragging his arm crookedly to sign the police papers.

O'Grady and the rest of the 3DFX watched the scene sympathetically and silently, "Why don't we come back in a few days?" APLUS。 O'Grady spoke.

"Huh?" Song Ya's hand softened, and the last stroke was stroked out, "No, I'll be fine right away." ”

The two plainclothes didn't say anything, took out the contents of the plastic bag, checked with Song Yahe and the documents one by one, and then left, which seems to be a bit against police procedures, but the big man should take care of it, it's just a small problem.

"Hah! APLUS, WE JUST MOVED THE BASEBALL GAME ARCADE TO THE BASEMENT FOR YOU, IT'S FUN, REALLY! ”

The trio of crooks finally showed up heartlessly, chatting happily about how fun a large arcade machine was, and they should have given one for free on the way, just like the previous times.

That's all it takes to be a person, Song Ya didn't pick up their stubble, "Let's have a meeting in the hall, sorry, I don't have a big conference room here." ”

Dr. Chen and Dr. Mei have been following the matter of 3DFX for a long time and have a very deep understanding, and in general, Goodman also wanted to make a private profit from the last round of financing before the IPO like the American music website, but they refused, because there was a layer of Dr. Chen's A+ venture capital company in the middle, Goodman didn't care about any small moves.

3DFX went public a month ago, and its stock price fluctuated from 17 yuan 5 per share at the close of the first day, until it recently fell to 7 yuan 7 when it was shorted on Wall Street.

The main black swan event is actually a lawsuit with Sega, and now Sega has publicly stated that the game console will not use Voodoo graphics cards in the future, so that the future profit expectation is much worse, and once the lawsuit for violating the confidentiality agreement in the prospectus is lost, 3DFX is likely to go bankrupt directly.

"Why are you revealing information about Sega's non-disclosure agreement in the prospectus?" Song Ya asked.

The entire board of directors looked at the CTO of the founders' trio, CTO Scott, "It's good for the stock price, and we thought Sega wouldn't dare to do anything at the time, they didn't have any other GPU options except for Voodoo chips." He replied with a shrug.

It's a pity that Sega has.,They secretly made a two-handed preparation called Operation Horse Racing.,The code name 'Skunk' plan on the side of the United States uses the PowerPC 603e made by IBM and Motorola as the CPU,3dfx's Voodoo 2 customized version as the GPU,The local 'Big Knife' plan uses the CPU developed by Toshiba and the GPU developed by NEC。

Sega's top management probably intended to develop in parallel, and the last plan was easy to use, but I didn't expect 3DFX to break the news in order to boost the stock price......

Sega was furious and simply rejected the 'Skunk' plan completely.

This is the problem with the trio of liars, they are not bad, and their personalities and skills are good, but they just like to go the wrong way, and they are very bold, such as the first time they ran a computer exhibition, they passed off Sgi's graphics workstation as their own graphics card, deceived themselves, and deceived the eyes of all the people in the industry and outside the industry present at the time.

"So now we have to get Sega back to get the stock price back?" Song Ya asked angrily.

"There's no need for that, Sega has stolen technical secrets by cooperating with us, and revealed the technical details of Voodoo2 to the 'Big Knife' project team, and we will soon launch a counterclaim against them, and they can't win the lawsuit in the United States." Said the trio of Rose.

Song Ya didn't know about this verse, but fortunately Rose added, "Just the past two days, we just got conclusive evidence. ”

"100% winning?" O'Grady asked.

"100 percent, when the news of their money with us comes out, the stock price will go up." Ross was adamant: "We're going to make those who are short cry and go home to their mothers." ”

"How much can I lose? We and Sega are both at fault, so there is a high probability of reconciliation, right? Sloan asked.

"One or two million? That's what the lawyers predicted. President Ballard replied.

"What's the use of that, aren't you all interested in Sega's order? That's a game console that can compete with Sony's next-generation PS. Song Ya asked the other board members irritably.

"It's a few years from now." The representative of the board of directors on behalf of Carmack said: "Sega's image in the minds of consumers in the United States is not good, and products such as 32X, Sega CD and Saturn are not successful, and they continue to torture channel providers, which is inexplicable. ”

According to Dr. Chen, John Carmack, who made games such as Quake, doesn't like 3DFX's half-heartedness, and his interest is to support 3DFX in building the best 3D platform for his new game from Id Software, and he also likes to tap into 3DFX's top talent.

Song Ya looked at the representatives of EA, who were strategic partners of Sega.

"Of course it would be nice to work with Sega, but now ...... That's already the way it is. ”

EA undoubtedly wants to deepen its relationship with Sega, but they also have conflicts with Sega because of the lack of licensing money and Sega's support for his rivals, such as Visual Concepts, which also makes sports games, in order to share the risk.

"APLUS, WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? Netscape? Microsoft? ”

Rose suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Now everyone knows that you have been quietly buying Microsoft shares for a long time, so you also support Sega, his family's next-generation game host will use Microsoft's Windows CE customized version of the operating system." If you support Sega, Netscape will be unhappy. ”

"Hehe......"

Song Ya was a little embarrassed by the eyes of other people eating melons, the game, the companies and countries are constantly playing, and no one will completely hand over their backs to others, but why did he always trust Goodman so much before? He was a little dumbfounded, "Everyone shares the risk, don't I understand?" ”

The board of directors continued to meet, and Song Ya was not in a hurry to propose the dismissal of the trio, they are the founders, they all have board seats, and they have a good relationship with EA and Carmack, Dr. Chen thinks that it is impossible for his side to get enough votes.

Song Ya looked at the director representative of the second largest individual shareholder who had been deceived by the trio from the beginning, deceived to the present, and was tossed to death, and now among those people, only himself and them are still on the board of directors, the interests of both parties are absolutely the same, and even the other party's dissatisfaction is even worse.

There are also several directors of investment institutions, and these people certainly don't want to lose Sega's big business.

"How about we get another Sega?" Song Ya asked.

"Keep your head down? You're too young to probably feel like APLUS in the '80s, and the books were very vicious when they were in a strong position, don't look at them now...... "President Ballard said.

"Is there a way? APLUS？ "A representative of the director of an investment institution became interested.

"Nope! No! We don't bow our heads! ”

Ross exclaimed, "We are the world's top 3D display chip company!" The best! Let them use NEC's rotten chips! Without our Voodoo 2, they would have been absolutely by Sony! ”

When he mentioned Sony, Song Ya wanted to make friends with Sega even more......

"Is there a big business that you don't do?" The representative of the director of the second largest individual shareholder quarreled with Ross.

The trio seems to have a little simple national pride in the book.,Maybe the book insists on keeping its own chip-based 'big knife' plan.,Their semiconductor industry has now been rectified by the United States very badly.,But the mood seems to be still there.。

"Let's rest first, and then continue tomorrow."

Song Ya soon felt tired, and the others had no choice but to say goodbye and come back tomorrow, he woke up, then he was still the chairman of this company.

"Netscape this time, it should really be impossible to do it, unless there is a miracle and win the Microsoft monopoly within a year, APLUS." After sending the people away, O'Grady came back and reminded, "Of course it's my personal opinion, you're better at investing." ”

"Hmm."

How is it possible, his little Barn case can easily drag on for a year if he wants to.

Song Ya was carried to the study again, staring at Linda returning the Oscar trophy and other lost stolen goods to their places, Xue Linfen was not stupid enough to get home, and locked important items such as photos and documents in the safe in advance, and put away her personal computer.

And she already has two children, and it's not easy to get too stiff......

"Why don't you go all-in on Microsoft? Let Microsoft help with PR Sega. O'Grady suggested again.

"Is there anything I can make Microsoft look up to?"

Song Ya doesn't think that Microsoft will be elated to sell Netscape's stocks, it's not a level, Netscape is just one of the many enemies of that software giant, maybe it can be put into effect a year earlier, and now Microsoft's IE has been done under the strategy of bundling for free.

"3DFX's Glide API is a competitor to Microsoft's D3D, although the conflict has not intensified yet." Dr. Chan joined the discussion.

"High Roller ......" is okay, but Song Ya is even more hesitant to say that Glide currently has an advantage in 3D and is the lifeblood of the trio and 3DFX.

"The Great Game, if you want to quickly turn the situation around, you can only play the big game APLUS, and it must be fast, maybe it will make the short sellers suffer." "If we can turn the tide on this matter, it will be a great benefit to your authority on the 3DFX Board," Sloan said. ”

Song Ya saw Linda put the photo frame back on the table, staring at the face of Gates's father in the photo of herself and the giants, and pondered for a while, "Can any of you contact this old man?" He asked.

"I'd like to introduce the lawyers at Preston, Gates & Ellis Law Firm (PGE) in Chicago, who will be responsible for some of the legal work for my company."

The next day, Song Ya introduced two strange white men to the board of directors of 3DFX, which is the lawyer of the top 10 law firms in Quanmi, and there is no more powerful, "We also met for the first time, and we just signed a contract." ”

"Will they ......," President Ballard asked hesitantly.

"Yes, in place of Goodman and Hamlin." Song Ya replied lying in a wheelchair, "Please sit down." ”

"Wow, action, APLUS." Ross teased.

"I've already decided, I'll take someone to the book in person, just these two days." Song Ya ignored him, "Finally, fight for Sega, PGE will get my ban on going abroad as soon as possible." ”

“NO！” The trio protested in unison.

"No nonsense, vote. Okay, passed. ”

At the same time, the stock prices of Netscape such as NASDAQ and Infoseek suddenly collapsed, and traders were stunned, holding their heads and looking at the straight falling curve.
