Chapter 1316

"Can't sleep?"

Rahida sweetly put his head on the man's chest and asked with bright eyes.

"Well, it's like insomnia."

Song Ya casually played with the small gold lock pendant on her collar and answered.

I'm not used to spending the night on a boat. No matter how good a yacht is, because of its precious space, sound insulation can't be perfect, playing can't be enjoyable, and there's no net or signal on the sea, plus the continuous turbulence and waves, everything makes people feel anxious.

"This boat is so beautiful, so wonderful..."

When he didn't want to sleep, Rashida chirped, "I have a camera in my bag, but I'm sorry to take it out during the day."

"Didn't we take a group photo before we went on board? Don't make any noise

Although the owner Jim Clark did not explicitly prohibit it, in general, people pay attention to privacy at such top yacht parties. Celebrities like the daughter of Silicon Valley landlords don't like bikini cool photos of vacationing on board.

"Then go and have a drink?" Rashida proposed.

Song Ya looked at his watch and said, "OK."

When they got up, Rashida put on a thin shirt to keep out the cold outside the bikini and went out together.

"Mark?"

The party ended at one in the morning. Unexpectedly, Mark Anderson was still lying alone on the beach chair on the deck, dazed by the stars in the sky, and occasionally had a sip of beer.

Only three years older than himself, he became more and more bald. The top programmer chose to face it calmly and simply shaved his head, shining at night.

“Hi……”

He said lazily, "aplus, Miss Jones."

"Is that ok?" Song Ya also asked for a bottle of beer at the bar. The cocktail chosen by La Shida needed to be prepared. They went over first.

"Do as you please."

Lay down on the beach chair next to Mark Anderson, and rahida sits next to him.

According to the tacit understanding, no longer talk about work out of the holiday, the three people freely chat for a while, "do not disturb you." Mark Anderson shakes the empty beer bottle and plans to get up and go back to his room.

"No Sonyaliu, do you think I'm going to do something with Rashida on the deck? Damn it.

"I'll do it." Rashida took the initiative to ask at the bar like a little servant girl, and continued to listen in quietly when she came back.

"Thank you."

Mark Anderson took the bottle and lay back, then sighed at the stars.

Frustrated, although he is already a billionaire, if Netscape is not defeated

"By the way, aplus, don't be angry. I've also invested some money in Napster." He took the initiative to talk about business.

"It doesn't matter. I don't care much about that." Song Ya waved his hand with a smile. "Napster is very popular recently. Have you made a lot of money?"

In just a few months, the registered users of Napster, who focus on helping users "share" music, have surpassed many large websites and even e-mail service providers. They are going all the way to the tens of millions. If they are put on a website without legal problems, according to the current Internet concept stock market, it will be worth billions of dollars.

"Well."

Mark Anderson admitted generously, then grinned, "on the books."

He didn't say which round of VCs he participated in. Song Ya estimated that if he really wanted to run, someone would be willing to take over the offer. Of course, RIAA has decided to sue. Napster's probability of losing the lawsuit is much higher than that of Amelia music website, which has been rectified honestly.

"Their founder Sean Parker, right? It's interesting. " Song Ya said with a smile.

Two days ago, Hatfield, the pioneer of all previous anti piracy rallies and activities, the lead singer of the metal band, began to scold Napster as much as Amelia music website. However, Sean Parker, the high-profile young programmer, was quite shameless. He even put on the peripheral T-shirt of the metal band in public, shouting that he was a loyal fan of the metal band and admired Hatfield very much.

He was shameless and invincible. Instead, Napster made a lot of eyes, and Hatfield was very angry.

"Ha ha..."

Mark Anderson didn't answer with a smile.

"How are you doing at AOL now?" Songya turns to inquire, he and Jim do not know that they later make up some AOL shares in the open market.

"Last year, we also made Netscape browser free, disclosed the code of a new version of the browser, and established the open software organization Mozilla But it doesn't work, it doesn't improve, and the competition with Microsoft doesn't have much to do with free or not in hindsight... "

Mark Anderson sighed and replied: "it's mainly because their ie is tied up with the operating system. They have too much advantage in the operating system. We can't resist unfair competition."

"In the second half of the year, their monopoly case will enter the hearing stage, right?" Song Ya asked again.

"Yes, but I'm too lazy to participate. It's Jim and Mr. case from AOL who are talking to me."But Mark Anderson knew that the black law who repeatedly jumped in front of him had invested in Microsoft stock for a long time, and his friends belonged to his friends. He didn't want to talk too deeply about this extremely sensitive matter, so he digged off the topic, "by the way, after the three men of aplus and 3dfx cleared up their shares, they didn't scold you less, do you know?"

"Of course I know."

The trio took out the money of 3dfx and invested in STB graphics card company. It seems that they also got the majority. Subject to the confidentiality terms, they can't talk about the technical details, so they are left to curse.

"Aplus doesn't know anything, and he likes the layman to command the expert."

"He's irritable, mean, and has a poor ability to resist pressure. When he does something, he just jumps and swears and waves his fist."

"It's not true that he said we cheated him. He was cheated by the British. 3dfx's acquisition of videologic was a mistake!"

"I knelt down and licked my notebook, which saved Shijia tens of millions of dollars in compensation every year!"

"STB's new graphics card will soon surpass the voodoo series. You'll wait and see!"

"Return the arcade we gave you!"

Rose, the first one to be expelled from the board of 3dfx, hates himself most and holds the highest profile. STB company has average technology and operation, but its production capacity potential is not small. It fully conforms to their concept of bringing capital and technology into the market, controlling the right of control, making chips and graphics cards, and playing without third-party graphics card manufacturers.

Song Ya was still a little worried about being beaten in the face by them. He just asked Mark Anderson, "what do you think of their skills? I don't know much about this... "

"The concept is very advanced. It's a good time to catch up with the demand for 3D display chips, but hard power It's not really a top chip designer, is it? "

Mark Anderson, who has become a small shareholder, replied: "in terms of hard power, our new chief technology officer yassa should be better than them."

"I'm relieved to hear that."

ASAR and mclauren are both veteran members of videologic. Songya is also afraid that mclauren's choice of ASAR as CFO is more due to the internal personnel struggle of the company.

"In fact, there is a master in the industry who is going to change his job. Maybe we can try to dig him up?"

Mark Anderson suggests.

"Who?"

"Jim Keller of AMD, chief designer of decalpha chip and chief architect of amdk7k8 chip." Mark Anderson replied.

It seems very strong! "That kind of bull, does he like our 3dfx?" Song Ya is excited.

"I'm kidding. We are also the leader in the field of display chips, listed on NASDAQ."
