"If neither Sega nor NEC objected, then VideoLogic would risk losing a large deal with a 50% chance of losing a big deal if not even more. It is not the same as 3DFX, its display chip products do not have as many dazzling halos as Voodoo, and because the matter of its and NEC's big knife team joining the Sega horse racing program needs to be kept strictly secret, the market value can be maintained at the 80 million pound bracket has been questioned by external investors who do not know the truth. ”

Before the end of the suspension, Song Ya seized the time to negotiate with VideoLogic and let both parties issue a statement of intent at the same time, and then wait for the shareholders of both sides to vote on whether to agree to the plan of 3DFX share exchange plus cash acquisition of VideoLogic, which will most likely be approved, and then go through other processes.

"Ha, I'm going to see the shorts Crush O'Grady tomorrow, they don't have much time, right?"

Song Ya is in a good mood, the new wheelchair has arrived, it is the kind of handrail that has a control handle that can drive the motor to run around by itself, Hawking has the same model, and there is also an additional headset and microphone on his head, so he always asks Sloan to help hold the mobile phone when he makes a call, "How much room does the stock price still have?" ”

"Looking at the degree of confidentiality of the details of the share exchange and cash acquisition, I estimate that there is a high probability that it is impossible, and it is not a big problem for the 3DFX stock price to stabilize forty dollars, depending on the reaction of investors and bears, if the bears are eager to get enough shares to close their positions, the stock price may soar. VideoLogic over there...... The market capitalization should rise to almost 100 million pounds. O'Grady replied.

"Wow, it's better to play finance to make money quickly!"

The stock price of 3DFX and VideoLogic rose and the income from shorting VideoLogic earlier, and the net worth increased sharply just a few days after waking up, Song Ya moved the handle slightly with his right hand, and the wheelchair turned flexibly.

"Daddy!" Little Robb threw himself to his leg again, and little Jon, who was almost a year old, giggled and crawled on the ground.

"Good son, Daddy has something."

Xue Linfen, who was taking care of them, came over and squatted down and kissed Song Ya, "Don't pester Daddy, let Daddy be busy." Then he pulled little Robb away.

"Well, you've worked hard for Xue Lin."

Songya continues to play wheelchair drift at home while chatting with Oglady.

"Is there really no Ballard left?" O'Grady asked.

"He's the one I went to suppress those three crooks, but I feel like that guy has been assimilated by them, you know, 3DFX is very popular in the field of display chips, there are many opportunities to show his face, and the three crooks are very fond of running computer shows and various tech industry events, and Ballard seems to have fun with it."

Song Ya replied: "But the demand for high-end graphics cards is a minority after all, and the movement is large, in fact, it does not make much money, and the small shipment volume is not conducive to diluting the cost of chip manufacturing." Ballard has never had a good relationship with the big buyers, and McLaughn is much better than him in this regard, relying on VideoLogic's outdated technology to make NEC and Sega happy. If it weren't for my efforts to turn the tide, he would have actually defeated Ballard and won the big order for Sega's next-generation game console. ”

"Haha!"

O'Grady smiled and asked, "Apart from Ballard, what else do you think about the merger and reorganization of the two boards?" ”

"Scott, the CTO of the trio, can't move for the time being, no matter what, get Rose out first, he's got the bad idea."

"Well, it's not a big problem......"

The next day, the two companies' shares resumed trading, and the shares of 3DFX and VideoLogic continued to rise on the positive news, but 3DFX did not soar as O'Grady predicted.

"What's next?" At noon, he asked Sloane.

"You've got to call Katherine back at KM Pictures, she's going crazy with the distributor, Universal Pictures, and they're going to keep you at the premiere of Blade Twenty, and Catherine says you can bring the premiere to Chicago, as long as you can show up."

Sloan replied with a small notepad.

“OK……”

He didn't want to see too many friends and the forest for the time being, and it was also for the sake of his health, and it was very uncomfortable to suffer from frequent memories and apocalypse fragments. Before the words could be spoken, O'Grady's phone came in again.

“APLUS！”

His anxious tone was surprised as soon as he heard it, "The UK Competition Commission has just issued a statement saying that 3DFX's acquisition of VideoLogic must be approved by the country's industrial strategy department!" ”

“What？”

Song Ya was also anxious suddenly, "Is there a possibility that it will not be approved?" ”

"In any case, that's something to worry about in the future, and the current high 3DFX stock price must be difficult to maintain." O'Grady replied: "Such a big bad news, what a slap in the face!" ”

Sure enough, in the afternoon, investors and institutions who still held 3DFX shares began to lose confidence, and under Song Ya's watchful eyes, the stock price fell all the way to forty dollars, and O'Grady also had to help Northern Trust's long orders find a way back, and soon went down to thirty dollars, twenty-nine dollars, twenty-eight dollars, and twenty-seven dollars......

There was a cold curve in the Bloomberg machine, and there was a lot of turnover around the twenty-six knife, that is, the market value of 400 million, and the bears should have run away. VideoLogic is also falling.

“SHXT！”

At present, Song Ya, who can only move his mouth, is incompetent and furious.

"Someone is looking for you." Sloan took the call.

"Who?"

"It should be Karl Icahn himself......"

"British Prime Minister Jeffrey Bellia, who took office last month, said earlier in a speech at 3DFX that the UK also needs to nurture its own semiconductor and internet leaders, and the local Hertfordshire MP, where VideoLogic is located, also expressed concern to the media on the day of the suspension, have you noticed? No? Look, boy, that's the problem, playing finance is not just about putting out the news and staring at the stock machine, but also about understanding and observing the international situation, local politics and even the people's aspirations......"

Cal Icahn's voice was very magnetic, and he didn't introduce himself or say hello, but said in the tone of the elders to the juniors: "You can't just bury your head in technology, you also need to learn to deal with all kinds of people, such as the media, and ...... How to influence a country's industrial policy. ”

"Hehe, sounds like you're smug?" Song Ya frowned impatiently.

"You're working hard, APLUS, wow, wake up and don't care about the empty account, don't renew the old relationship with your lovers, and don't take care of your boiling business, dragging your sick body straight to Tokyo...... You've really tricked me, it's not like some people have described you to me, I did think you went there to see a doctor......"

Carl Icahn seemed to have drunk too much, and said drunkly, "But you know what? The smarter and more struggling you are, the funnier and sadder you are in my eyes, like a man who desperately swims to land in the middle of the sea, his great spirit of fighting against the wind and waves is touching and sympathetic, but alas, all he sees is a mirage, and he never wants to set foot on land...... until drowning. ”

What the heck? It's like what's wrong with me, how much should you lose by closing the position with 26 yuan? Although he may have used other means to get some blood back, Song Ya secretly complained in his heart when he heard it, and couldn't help but interrupt the other party and said, "Are you in a bad mood, Mr. Icahn, did you lose too much today?" Call just to say this nonsense!? ”

"I admire you, I just wanted to teach you some Wall Street experience for free Boy haha......" Carl Icahn replied.

"Then return my money first, it's not enough today, you know what I mean."

"Ha, I don't remember that I asked you for financing, but I made this call today because I was very happy, and just now, I finally got the chairman of the board of directors of Marvel. In the morning meeting, they told me that they were looking forward to the upcoming movie Blade, that African-American superhero movie that you invested in and starred in, right? Wow, keep up the good work, Marvel needs you to continue to help my comic book heroes open up the blockbuster market in the future......"

I see, so Carl Icahn finally defeated his old enemy Perelman, and drank a little wine happily, and his mind was not clear? "I look forward to our continued cooperation." He said.

Dared? "I'll do my best to support Blade, it's my own business, I don't need you to worry about it. But I also want to warn you, Mr. Icahn, that if you don't want to hand over DeLay and Goodman, you really shouldn't have made this pointless call. Because of what, you know? Song Ya asked rhetorically.

"What?"

"I'm a twenty-two-year-old Mr. Icahn, and I'm not mature enough to be a rational person in the full sense of economics." Song Ya threw out the answer.

"Wow, what do you want? It's not a good idea, I'm not a senior manager of Italian origin. Cal Icahn laughed.

"Not really, but you'll see what I want to do soon!"

Song Ya tilted her head, let the buttons on the headphones touch her shoulders, and hung up expertly.

"Catherine wants to see me, so is she in Chicago? Yeremov must have been there too? He asked Sloane.

"Yes."

"Let him come to me, alone...... Uh, you find the original author of the cat-and-mouse game, the legendary liar Abagorny, call him, and I'll talk to him. ”

Yin and Yang weird disgusting person, "Let the PGE lawyer come over again." ”

"Mr. Abagonel? Can you do me a favor? I want you to visit a guy in prison with A+ Film Studio...... No, is it convenient for the people of the Littman Press to go together? You help me persuade the other party well......"

A few days later, PGE filed an indictment in the local court in Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley, alleging illegal trading, forgery of documents and unjust enrichment in the process of filing for bankruptcy protection and spin-off.

At the same time, Littleman Publishers announced that they had signed a publishing and film adaptation rights agreement with Jordan Belfort, the imprisoned and down-and-out king of junk stocks, to write a memoir-style book called "The Wolf of Wall Street."

"Yes, there is a high probability that it will be filmed by A+ Film Studios, and with the successful experience of cat and mouse games, we are very confident in the autobiographical film project."

Yeremov replied to journalists.

"But isn't the Wolf of Wall Street generally Mr. Carl Icahn?" A reporter asked.

"You're mistaken, it's always Jordan Belfort, and he's the real Wolf of Wall Street."
