Chapter 1120

Songya doesn't know Kirsch's choice after leaving Highland Park, but he has a little reaction now. If Jim Clark is his own teacher, guide and great nobleman in Silicon Valley, then Kirsch and delay must have a similar relationship.

After the event, many behaviors of delay were obviously deeply influenced by kirsch. For example, when Yahoo was purchasing Sunnyvale land under the name of a + audio, delay delay negotiation with Yahoo, and try to stop the expansion speed of Infoseek's main competitor.

After Yahoo decided to give up the deal and move out of Sunnyvale after more than ten days' deliberation, delay refused his plan to increase capital and let Kirsch get the land. The harvest was only that the land price was a little higher than the market price. Amerika music website was completely tied up with the chariot of Infoseek. Both sides drained each other and became strategic partners.

At that time, delay should not have been afraid to eat inside and out, but it is likely that he met with the same psychology as Jim Clark: a new Silicon Valley layman could hardly resist the deception of a billionaire, an old player and technology hero, and his knowledge level and vision were too poor.

All in all, Infoseek's sudden offer of $180 million for Americana's music website is a bad thing. It sends a bad signal that Americana music website is still worth a bet.

No matter how the 32% a + audio company stops it, as long as the other 68% bid is low enough that investors are willing to take over the huge risk of losing their money, Carl Icahn and delay will have the opportunity to claim compensation and escape.

After all, it is a big bull market for Internet stocks. Not long ago, the listing plan of Americana music website was estimated to be 400 million!

Moreover, as long as Dilai dares to borrow, he can always cheat some rash upstarts or high interest short-term loans from heresy. Maybe he will move around and the money will burn until next year.

Just as song Ya Wan didn't expect that Goodman's paranoia broke out under his heavy pressure, he had never cared, or had no leisure, to observe Kirsch's private relationship with delay.

In the process of going to a given goal, there will always be all kinds of accidents. He can only constantly adjust and adapt, take Kirsch's variables into account, and be more tenacious, more ruthless, and not complain.

"Er Were you a little bit A little bit of a show? " He asked Amy in his arms.

"No, no!" Amy denied it and put her head on his chest sweetly! They have no strength at all. "

"Hey, hey..."

He stroked the girl's blonde hair with pride. "Call the nurse in. I'm going to get up. There's a lot going on today."

"Good!" Amy jumps out of bed.

On August 31, 1997, the merger of 3dfx and videologic was announced. After the resumption of trading, the total market value of the two companies increased from nearly $600 million. In five trading days, it increased by about 18% to $700 million. Due to the earlier absorption of videologic shares, many of song Ya's own shares in the new company also slightly increased, from 21.28% to 21.28% 22 percent.

With the obstacles removed and everything ready, he can't wait to start the preparatory work of restructuring the board of directors.

"At 4 a.m. Paris time, the former Princess of England died in a car accident..."

He packed up and showed confidence in the hall when the sudden death of the former Princess of England made all the participants of 3dfx and videologic gather in front of the TV set.

"It must have been the royal family! They hate the new boyfriend of the former princess. It's time for you to depose the family. Do you want to keep feudalism in the 21st century

In the 3dfx trio, Ross's disgusting big mouth was yelling at the British people who attended the meeting. The American people liked the former British Princess very much. However, song Ya knew that videologic CEO mclauren was just one of the few staunch "royalists" in the technology industry. He was resisting his anger and turning a deaf ear to Ross's words.

Ross's stupid behavior is in the heart of song ya. He has no feelings for the former British Princess. But today, he is just going to kick Ross and Ballard. If the situation permits, he even wants to kick out the director of id software founder mark kamakh.

"Rose! Come here

Song Ya stopped him, "let's talk alone first."

However, Ross is the founder of 3dfx and the backbone of R & D. he wants to kick him out of the board of directors, but song Ya doesn't want to let him go out in anger, especially when he runs with the other two. CTO Scott is responsible for the development of voodoo's original products, and absolutely can't move. Gary is a relatively honest member of the trio.

"It's not nice to see these English guys." Ross swears, "aplus, they're behind in technology. You shouldn't be doing this business."

"But investors like it. Didn't they look at the stock price performance? And we can still take Sega's big order. " Song Ya didn't reply.

"Anyway, I think..."

"Don't you think! Rose Song Ya interrupted him, "at least videologic's 2D technology reserve can help us develop voodooorush2, and strive to win the favor of PC manufacturers again.""Their 2D technology is not the best..."

"Because the best are our competitors! ATI is making a lot of money on PCs.... "

"Well, well, anyway, what do you mean now? You're boss." Ross is reasonable, but he wants to end the argument.

"If only you had this awareness."

Song Ya nodded, "there is one more thing. I don't want to have too many people in the new board of directors after the merger. Your seat needs to be let out, and Ballard."

“WTF？ Why? Don't forget that I founded this company! " Rose jumped at once.

"It's not to throw you out of the company, it's just not to come to the board meeting." Song Ya fooled.

"Ha! I'm not aplus, a three-year-old. " Rose laughed angrily.

"Three year olds don't talk in front of the media like you do." Song Ya retorted.

"Wow, so you always hate the time we told the media that we cheated you, right?"

"So that's something you should be proud of?"

"You remember! But don't forget, aplus, we still support you when you are in a coma! If we deal with your two private lawyers, you don't have that position in 3dfx today! We've done everything we can to you! The company was founded by us. We invented the voodoo video card. All the money you make in 3dfx depends on our three technologies! Don't forget that! "

Rose was furious.

"I'm very grateful for that, but I also want to remind you of the fate of thieves and collaborators. If you choose to work with Goodman and Hamlin, maybe 3dfx is worthless now, just like Americana music website."

Song ya, sitting in a wheelchair, looked up at him with domineering eyes. "Business is business. Capital has no feelings. I'm responsible for the interests of the whole company. I'm a major shareholder. I funded the three of you to start a business. I endure your boasting of failure and additional investment again and again Even jobs, who founded apple, didn't he get kicked out? "

"Ha! But jobs is now killing back, and so am I. you wait

There's no way to talk about it. Ross turns and walks away.

As expected, Sonya quickly followed him out, and instead of giving the three of them time to meet with Ballard in private, he announced, "let's start the enlarged meeting now, Sloan. Turn off the TV."

"It's a new corporate structure, a list of candidates for positions and nominations for new directors." Sloane handed out the papers.

The trio stood outside and whispered. Ballard quickly browsed through the documents he had, and then turned to look at them. However, the reaction was not so fierce. He was only a senior manager. Moreover, song Ya had asked new CEO mclauren to contact him for vaccination in advance. It should be clear that the situation is better than people.

"In terms of specific candidates..." According to the new high-level structure and board members of the company, it is clear that the future 3dfx will go further and further away from the focus on 3D chips expected by kamac.

"I am the chairman of the board of directors. This proposal is my personal will. I can't communicate with you later. But now Let's wait until the vote is over. " Song Ya looked at the members of the enlarged meeting, "but I would like to remind you that the IT industry is changing with each passing day. We don't have much time to waste. After the resolution is quickly formed, there is still a meeting of shareholders to pass."

"We all trust you aplus."

Most shareholders and members of the board of directors were very happy. When the chairman of the board returned, the share price rose from the lowest of 120 million to 700 million, although it was diluted due to the stock exchange merger.

The video logic group was even more satisfied. The boss mclauren continued to serve as the CEO of the new company. The outside media all said that videologic had completed the task of small and large, and the snake swallowed the elephant.

In order to buy off these people, Songya basically divided the benefits of removing rose and Ballard.

"I beat Carl Icahn's short, and I'm still fighting that Wall Street Tycoon on all fronts, and I'd like to remind you that if the voting results disappoint me, my personal failure may bring him back to 3dfx." Song Ya also threatened the more neutral and ambiguous members of the meeting.

"Impossible, impossible..."

Which company doesn't want to be tossed about by barbarians at the door. What's more, the current situation of 3dfx is very good. The shareholders' meeting is not one person with one vote. The power is divided according to the proportion of shares. The resolution established at the enlarged meeting can basically be passed by the general meeting of shareholders.

"I need to make a phone call." EA's Board representative said.

"Me too..." A lot of people agreed.

"Yes, I'll give you 40 minutes. That should be enough."

Song Ya glanced at Balad, who was in the group of three, and stayed in the hall, keeping his eyes closed and not going anywhere.

If Ballard still dares to wear a pair of pants with the trio, he plans to fire him directly after a while.Some people went out carefully and scattered on the lawn to report to their respective owners.

“APLUS。”

At this very tense time point, members of the dream lawyer group such as will, Diane and Cochrane suddenly come to visit, "is it convenient?" Diane asked.

"What's the matter? Is it important? "

"It's important."

"Let's go and say it."

"OK."

A group of people came to the study, Diane took out a document, "the special prosecutor of the bain case suddenly submitted two new witness lists and testimonies, one is the former manager of the Barnes fluorescent factory, and the military commander Heinrich at that time."

"Heinrich retired last year."

Cochrane looked a little ugly. "You don't seem to be surprised? What happened that we didn't know? APLUS。”

"They shouldn't have been involved, by right." Will Gardner added, "especially Heinrich."

"Is it not for me to pay for these troubles? I remember you had plans for them to testify before. "

Sonya did not answer Cochrane's question.

"Of course, there are plans, but the chances of winning will come down..." Diane was serious. "You have to be mentally prepared."

"No problem. Try to find a way to hold the court as soon as possible. The public's attention will certainly be focused on the death of the former Princess of England. We will take this opportunity to solve the Barnen case completely. This lawsuit has been bothering me for too long, too long..."

Song Ya didn't talk to the lawyers any more. They had to do something with the money and went back to the hall to continue their work.

"Vote now on this new board of Directors..." As soon as 40 minutes passed, song Ya personally presided over, "raise your hands if you don't agree."

The trio immediately raised their hands, followed by kamakh's representative.

Ballard peeked for a while and found that there were many people who didn't raise their hands, so he also advised them to follow the trend, which led to the glare of the trio.

So he's holding on to the presidency for the time being.

In September 1997, the joint shareholders' meeting of 3dfx and videologic passed the resolution, and song Ya finally mastered the industry leader with a market value of 700 million yuan.

"Now, let's start the first agenda. I've decided to launch a comprehensive strategic cooperation with Microsoft. The first is to set up a joint project team to make our glideapi and D3D fully compatible."

It's time to cut a piece of sausage, song Ya announced at the new board meeting.

"This is selling the company's interests!" CTO Scott immediately exclaimed, "our glide is still ahead, a lot ahead!"

"We need Microsoft's help. Most PC manufacturers use Microsoft's operating system. Sega's new game console also uses Microsoft's Windows CE customized version. How stupid we have to be to compete with them in a life and death competition." Song Ya replied.

"Ha! You were scared by Microsoft when you were in Netscape? APLUS！” Scott scoffed.

"Do you think we are stronger than Netscape?" Song Ya asked.

"But Netscape didn't bow down. Their spirit will continue until one day..." Scott expressed his true feelings affectionately, "we should be the same!"

"I don't want to be mourned after I die!" The representative of the second largest individual shareholder said: "Netscape's browser market share is falling by 60%, and Microsoft's ie4.0 released this month is close to completing a comprehensive anti overtaking They have endless money to invest in development and catch up, and one day we will fall behind like Netscape. "

"That's it Other board representatives agreed.

"Now is the time Aplus, after all, glide still maintains its advantages. We know the advantages of Microsoft, but... " Kamac's Board representative is Scott.

"Now is the right time to sell glide for a good price."

CEO mclauren retorted, "and I heard that the programmer who wrote glide was poached by id software? Glide hasn't been updated for a long time Besides, you are all working closely with Microsoft, but let us be the martyrs to challenge the dragon? What a hypocrisy

"All right, all right, stop fighting and vote." Song Ya's cold eyes glanced at the field, and thought that there should be no problem. He was the first to raise his hand, "this time, raise his hand."

Most of the board of directors raised their hands as expected. Scott, CTO, glanced at the new board of directors without rose and Ballard. Then he looked at Gary, who was slowly counseling and was hesitating to lift his arm. He sighed silently.

"OK, so mclauren, you'll get in touch with people at Microsoft right away."

Song Ya turns to the next page, "the next topic is about the voodoo rush2 project team..."

"The Barnes case will reopen tomorrow. This trial is very important, aplus."After the meeting, Cochrane, the black barrister waiting for him, talked to him in secret, "can't we really dissuade the former general manager of Barnes fluorescent factory and Heinrich? I think the special prosecutor has been helped by powerful people. You always have a solution. Are your political relationships... "

"I've been waiting for a long time. I'm still saying, let's work together to solve all problems tomorrow."

Song Ya raised his hand to stop him from saying, "is that it? Cochrane. "

"Well, well, we'll come to see you tomorrow morning and go to the court together." Cochrane looked at the ease of the wheelchair, as if everything was in control of the young man, nodded to leave.

"See you tomorrow."

Song Yamu sent him away, "Mike..." His name was old Mike. "I'll go out when I download. By the way, I'll call on Tony and them."
