Chapter 1327

"I will bring my faith and family values to the post of commander-in-chief, and build a better Amelia. That's why I announced today that I will run for the post of commander-in-chief of the United States. I need you to step on the journey with me..."

At the beginning of September, in the conference room of a + records headquarters, Songya held his cheek gang and had nothing to do with a room full of people watching TV. Vice Commander Gore officially announced his candidacy in his hometown of Tennessee today.

"Faith and family values." Gore, who is only 50 years old this year, announced in his speech that he is more conservative and "family oriented" than the current commander, which also shows that he will choose to keep a distance from the current commander and his lacy scandal.

"We will work hard all night to make our children have a new start, a higher starting point, and go to a new century and a higher place! thank you! May God bless you! Bless Amelia

The speech was short and the scene was not big. The participants held campaign slogans with the words "gore2000" and stars and stripes everywhere.

"He's going to be a great leader." The representative of directors of EA company stationed in 3dfx laughs at himself.

"Well."

In the first half of this year, EA has announced that it will transplant a large number of its games to Sony's upcoming PS2 game console platform, which means that it will add many games to Sega's DS competitors.

Each time Sega sells one less mainframe, its 3dfx display chip will also sell one less.

No way. Sega likes the rigid balance technique. Knowing that EA is very important to them, it also acquired and supported a new company in the sports game field that EA is good at. This attracted EA's dissatisfaction and vigilance. It turned around and colluded with Sony to fight back with the same balance technique.

Is the host platform more important to the game company, or vice versa It's hard to say.

But now the relationship between EA and Sega has gone from bad to worse, along with their own 3dfx.

After Al Gore announced his candidacy, TV stations began to broadcast his campaign ads, and American people of all colors, races and classes expressed their support to the camera.

Sonya turned off the TV.

The room was full of people and nothing to see. Everyone noticed that the youngest self-made billionaire, Mr. heifa and director of 3dfx, was in a bad mood, so he fell into silence.

Jim Keller, the only CTO of the company who is not a member of the 3dfx board of directors, is also here. He looks at him quietly with the curious eyes of high intelligence genius. It's because song Yacai doesn't care about the couple, "Senator Joseph Lieberman..." Only the rich three generations are on his mind.

"Don't worry, you can always find a way."

Underwood seems to be very determined, two people while watching the distance was surrounded by well-dressed businessmen and celebrities to celebrate little Daly chat, "the foundation of cooperation between them is not solid."

"Well." They absolutely trust each other. Sonya doesn't urge them any more. Instead, he and Underwood speculate on the relationship between Gore and Chicago.

It is said that Al Gore's people have come to have a secret talk with him after little Daly won the election. Peter flock should have sent someone, but this is the absolute secret of the three parties. He and Underwood have no way to know the details.

The current commander-in-chief no longer needs Chicago, but abandons it like my shoes. As long as Gore wants to become the future commander-in-chief, he certainly needs it, and everyone is betting.

"It may not be until Gore comes to Chicago this month." Underwood said.

"Well, I'm under a lot of pressure now."

Little Daly has won the election, and the deep-rooted Daly family will not be reduced to the point where they can't do without themselves. But Peter, who has a shallow foundation, can't do it. After the failure of sniping little Daly and the fall of closely related real estate developer kotzko, Peter is in a hurry. He urgently needs support.

Because he has always been one of Gore's gold owners and has invested heavily in Gore's Internet territory, Peter has made it clear that he hopes to accompany Gore to meet him when he comes to Chicago this month.

This move will undoubtedly be suspicious of little DALY.

But Peter's ruthless role of not forgetting to kill Cassidy's father Vic after many years, when he is really impatient, it's better not to make him unhappy.

It's a dilemma. Gore, who can't still perform his duties as deputy commander, finally made a trip to Chicago to find an excuse and hide himself, right? That's why song Ya said there was a lot of pressure.

"I understand." Underwood naturally said, "what are you going to do?" He asked.

"I think I will. I asked Michelle to ask Mr. Daly for forgiveness in advance."

Song Ya replied. Michelle worked as assistant to little Daly's mayor's office, and she was always a member of that side politically.

"Be confident, aplus. I heard that this year's fujibi, you can be one of the top 100 richest people in the world?" Underwood said with a smile: "it doesn't matter. Little Daly still has this heart."

"Almost." Song Ya shrugged, "I hope so..."He's watching others, and others are watching him. After fighting a tough election with his single black mother, little Daley doesn't think much about him who has a great influence on the black community, even though he just learned from Michelle that he will accompany his nemesis Peter to meet Al Gore.

"It's said that today this guy will be ranked as the world's 81st richest man with 4.5 billion yuan, tied with the two brothers of the media giant Newhouse family."

The confidant whispered to little Daly: "the 4.1 billion little brown man, who is against him, is just at the threshold of the top 100 rich, and has been overtaken by him. There are also rumors in Hollywood that they will bet who will go bankrupt first... "

"The pride of Chicago..." Little dalypy didn't smile. "Don't care about him. I'll talk to gore myself."

“APLUS！ Here we are

Back at this moment, former 3dfx CEO mclauren excitedly appeared at the door of the conference room, "let's go down." When he retired, he was still in charge of the board.

"All right."

As soon as Songya's spirit was shocked, he and other directors immediately followed him out of the house and went downstairs to see the motorcade that was far away and close in a tacit line. Except for Jim Keller, they all took the opportunity to tidy up their appearance. A team from ACN station was responsible for filming.

This is a historic moment for 3dfx company, because as the motorcade stopped steadily at the door, a bald middle-aged white man opened the door and got off the car. He was the CEO of Microsoft. In 1999, Fuji ranked the fourth richest person in the world, with a fortune of 19.5 billion.

“APLUS！ Ha ha... "

Ballmer seemed to be full of energy at any moment. He laughed, reached out his hand and shook it with Sonya. "Here comes the shameless guy in your mouth."

Some directors who knew that Netscape and Microsoft were fighting each other immediately laughed.

"Jim Clark taught me that." Song Ya also smile to get rid of, originally is.

"Ha ha ha!"

Ballmer and everyone laughed together. "Hello, hello..." After shaking hands with the directors separately, "this may be my first meeting in a record company." Ballmer looked up at the a + records headquarters building and said with a smile.

The crowd laughed again.

The rhythm of the conversation was mastered by him. "Would you like to visit it?" Song Ya asked.

"Is it convenient?"

"Of course."

“OK。” Ballmer readily agreed.

Song Ya took them to visit his record company, personally responsible for the interpretation, and stopped before the RIAA platinum record certification, "this single disc was released by me in 1990, this is 1991..."

At the same time, in Washington, Underwood and Doug, the chief of staff, who had returned to their humble congressman's office on Capitol Hill, were on the phone. On January 1 of the beginning of the year, he had moved out of the office of the whip of the donkey party.

"Has the father's interview been broadcast? OK, OK. " Doug answered the phone, relieved, and turned on the TV.

"I don't know what Senator Joseph Lieberman has solved for us. I testify in Congress, but until now, Marilyn Manson's records are still being released normally. I later heard that he and the recording industry are on the same side. They cheated me in partnership... "

Remember the grieved father who testified in Congress to control the distribution of such records because her son, who loved Marilyn Manson's songs, committed suicide? That's him.

Underwood after watching satisfied insidious smile, he asked Doug to find the person.

"Damn it

Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut senator, has long been reminded by his media friends that this interview will be broadcast. He is also watching the other party name himself and the recording industry. This is not a major blow to his conservative political stance, but it is undoubtedly a warning from some friends on Capitol Hill.

It's hard to do, because he really doesn't know the Jewish influence in the entertainment industry.

"Turn down little brown man. I don't like the guy who feels good about himself." He gave orders to his staff.

In Chicago, Sonya led Ballmer out of the deep-sea recording studio, and they went back to the conference room for a formal meeting.

"It's a great honor for me to have Mr. Ballmer at our meeting today."

He stood at the head of the long conference table to introduce Ballmer, and then said, "today's agenda is as follows..."

"First of all, Mr. Jim Keller, our CTO, will introduce next year's new product, the new architecture of the voodoo chip." He gave up his seat to Jim Keller and brought the applause.

"Thank you."

Jim Keller prepared a whiteboard. He started to write and draw on it with an oil pen. At the same time, he explained: "we will abandon the previous generation architecture on the voodoo 5 project..."

"Is it necessary to gamble like this? The previous generation architecture is very mature, and we are still the market leader. "

The second largest individual shareholder of 3dfx, who attended the meeting in person, interrupted Jim Keller and raised questions.

"Unfortunately, our single card performance has been surpassed by NV's tnt2ultra this year, so we are no longer the leader." Song Ya is not happy to accept a sentence."Maybe you shouldn't have driven them away..." The second largest individual shareholder had always firmly supported himself, but after the trio left, they began to shake the correctness of their previous behavior.

"If they are still there, our voodoo will still be playing 16 bit color, and the gap with NV will only widen. The three of them are responsible for the performance from leading to lagging behind." Song Ya retorts.

"After they go to STB, they say that 16 bit color is enough, otherwise it will squeeze the polygon performance of the display chip."

It seems that this guy has been paying attention to what the trio said after they left, "it's a matter of resource allocation, at this stage..."

"At any stage, I don't accept that the performance data is surpassed by the opponent. The video card buyers are believers who look at the book data, so they don't care about the choices at this stage..."

Song Ya has done his homework during this period, "they will only buy the graphics card of the head company. We can't lose the crown of the king of performance."

"But..."

"Well, this is not the time to talk about it, Mr. Keller. Go on." Song Ya raised his hand to stop him.

"Thank you, our cell..." Jim Keller continued to explain his sketchy architecture: "in order to work with voodoo 5, we have to rewrite glideapi on a large scale, and this work must be completed by March next year."

Glideapi has long been presented by song Ya and developed jointly with Microsoft. Ballmer doesn't know this technology, and probably doesn't care about such trifles, but the people he brings understand it and immediately interjects: "time is too tight."

"We will try to increase some resources." Ballmer stopped his men.

Song Ya pursed his lips, and Microsoft was also playing balance. They never gave up their d3dapi, and they could not see 3dfx as a dominant company. The more NV rivals, the better.

Business is business. It's nothing, but After all, it's a little uncomfortable.

"Thanks to Jim Keller for his wonderful commentary."

The boring demonstration of technical route is like a Book of heaven. Song Yagen didn't understand much. He led everyone to clap their hands and put their hands on the table. His eyes were firm and full of pressure. He said: "I don't allow our products to fall behind our competitors in the performance ranking. The single card performance is not expensive and the sales volume is not good."

"I don't allow 3dfx to be just a rock star who is sought after by professional hardware media and enthusiasts, but whose sales data and profits are lower than those of our competitors!"

"I will not allow us to lose this war!"

Not far from the building, in the big studio of a + movie studio, blade fighter director Zach Schneider and photographers are directing their staff to assume dozens of high-speed cameras in front of the green screen in a semi ring shape. This is the technology used by the classic visual effect "bullet time" of the matrix, which was sold in the first half of the year. Now it is being widely imitated by other drama groups, and each of them shows his magic power Exhibition use scenarios.

"So next year, we will compete fiercely with our competitors in every product line. Our voodoo5 will cooperate with graphics card manufacturers to sell versions in various price ranges, just like our competitors! Voodoo5Sli、Voodoo5MAX、Voodoo5Super、Voodoo5PLUS、Voodoo5、Voodoo5Mini……”

Song Ya said that the representative of id software, a shooting game company, said with a smile: "in this way, we will be mocked as imitators."

NEC director representative interface in charge of voodoo 3 chip OEM: "if we learn from NV's product strategy, we need to cooperate with chip packaging and testing manufacturers on a large scale to select and subdivide chips with different constitutions It means higher costs. "

Song Yaheng glanced at the two guys, and was not disturbed. "So, we need to increase the total capital expenditure of $200 million to decisively defeat our competitors next year!"

At first, he was very interested in watching the play in silence, and by the way, he had a close look at the top 100 rich and black Pharaon. When he heard this, he took a deep look at him in surprise.

Song Ya is also looking at him, and he looks at each other, and Ballmer sees the fierce force in each other's eyes, and a slight sense of familiarity rises in his heart.

In the mayor's office, little Daley just sent Al Gore's special envoy to Chicago, "Damn it "Gore seems to think that he has enough time to strike a balance between Peter and me. Next year, he won't have to pay too much for the infighting Chicago political arena, but he can still get our support!" he said

"It's true." The confidant calmly replied, "this is what we are doing inside It's true that we need his support more. "

"That's impossible!"

Little Daly said grimly, "that nasty Peter flock must be solved as soon as possible."

"Well, our governor may not know that koziko has agreed to be a tainted witness." The confidant put a document on little Daley's desk with a smile.

"Then do it!" Young Daley made a decision, "he can't work in that position until 2001 to be responsible for the re division of constituencies. I won't allow it!"That's a big political capital, and Peter is very popular with the voters

"Peter's energy in law enforcement..." Another more mature confidant hesitated a little, "he launched a crazy hand can be very black, is not carefully consider?"

"Don't think about it. Time is the most intolerable waste. We must be quick in everything!"

Little Daly can't stand Peter now, let alone delay any longer. He ordered to his confidants, "go and make an appointment with the deputy governor, let me have a good chat with him! This is a life and death war

"Therefore, we need to expand our software department to rewrite glideapi. We need to find better packaging and testing manufacturers to cooperate. We need to expand our marketing department, make some necessary acquisitions, and fight a legal war with NV. At the same time, all resources will be tilted to Jim Keller and his project team to help them design the invincible voodoo5 chip!"

Song Ya continued in a deep voice: "in order to raise enough funds for the above work, 3dfx will issue additional shares to Microsoft and other strategic partners. Today, it is decided at this meeting!"

There was a commotion among the directors, and even though they had learned some news in advance, they were still very shocked. They whispered and looked at Ballmer.

Ballmer also smiles at the crowd. He's here, and Microsoft's attitude is self-evident.

"As the chairman of 3dfx, you may know more about my achievements in other fields, but I would like to say that the reason why I can achieve a little bit of shallow success is that I have an extremely strong competitive heart."

Song Ya's eyes inspected one of the directors' faces. "I don't like failure! I seldom lose! So now Please vote! "
