Chicago 1990

Chapter 639: ? Was cheated

Squeak, squeak, every antique wooden door in the villa was calling in the early morning sea breeze. Song Ya was awakened by the sour sound, and kissed the face of Mariah Carey who was still smiling while she was asleep. Get up on clothes.

  

   "Is this going to be repaired?"

  

Linda and Mariah Carey’s female assistants are making coffee at the bar next to the open kitchen. Hayden is holding a newspaper and watching. The terrace door facing the sea is opened, and the white floor-to-ceiling curtains are blowing in the wind, like big balloons. , Hunting screaming.

  

   "Look, it's starting to rust."

  

   Song Ya refers to some wrought iron structures in the room, "There are also doors, which are always ringing, just like a woman's cry."

  

   "Look at you, if you like these old artworks, they need to be maintained all year round."

  

   Hayden folded the newspaper and handed it over.

  

  ‘The Federal Trade Commission initiated an antitrust investigation against several major record companies...’

  

   The news is that Daniel was surrounded by his entourage and removed the photo of reporters. It should be what happened before the celebration dinner last night.

  

   "This guy..." Song Ya casually threw the newspaper into the trash can, "Can we help him?"

  

   Although I am angry with Daniel now, I have no other choice but to continue to support him.

  

"Don't, wait a minute, this kind of lawsuit will go on for a long, long time. After all, outsiders think that the Federal Trade Commission's claim to seek billions of fines is too aggressive. Donovan and I just talked over the phone, except for Polygram's five major records. The company will take it seriously. According to the current situation of the record industry, even if it is shared, everyone can't pay the money. Of course, Daniel is under the most pressure, and no one knows how the capital and management will react."

  

   Hayden said: "We cannot use energy for them, and our political relationship is not enough for this kind of thing."

  

"Ok."

  

   Song Ya took the coffee from Linda, "By the way, who did you say yesterday was the owner of this house?"

  

   "The Maxwell family, formerly the owners of the Mirror Group, was the British media tycoon who owed hundreds of millions of pounds in debt and died at sea in 1991."

  

Hayden said: "The two sons he inherited from the Mirror Group will be taken to court this year. They are just anxious to take action. This is one of the holiday villas. It has not been maintained since 1992. He only hired a gardener on a regular basis. Take care of."

  

   "Oh, I know, that legendary old Jewish man named Robert? It is rumored that he is a multifaceted spy..."

  

Song Ya got interested and walked around here carefully, because the house is built on a cliff, the main building is small, with an area of ​​more than 3,000 square feet, and only four bedrooms, but every furniture and furnishings are old and beautiful, and many Hayden also I don’t know how many years and where the artwork came from, just like those Asan wood carvings that were robbed by the British and bought in the United States not far away, but they were generally lacking in maintenance and the paint on them was mottled.

  

   "Do you need someone to repair it? Do you want to repair the old as the old, or replace it with the new?" Hayden followed behind him and said, "Actually, it is cheaper to replace it with a new one. If you keep it the same, you need to hire more people."

  

   "Let me discuss with Mimi first."

  

Song Ya didn’t make up his mind. He liked the decoration style here, but it would definitely cost money to repair it. He admired the wood vine fossils dug from the Amazon basin, which are now made into racks with a creamy white like ivory. "I'm going back to Chicago today. After the exam week, I will go to New York to concentrate on preparing for the wedding. Here... let it go first. After all, neither I nor her will live permanently."

  

   "She will definitely enter the group to shoot Xingmeng tears in the second half of the year." Hayden reminded: "She is serious about the first electric shock."

  

   "I know, I'll talk about it after the wedding."

  

   "Jimmy." Linda handed her cell phone.

  

   "Uh, boss, are you in Los Angeles?" Jimmy's voice came from the other end, his tone cringing.

  

   "Yes, what's the matter?" Song Ya asked.

  

   "I have something to report to you... can I meet?"

  

   "Okay, you come." Song Ya called Linda.

  

   "Jimmy, where are you? Okay, take the car on California Avenue. We are... Yes, not far from Ponitdume State Beach..."

  

   Linda directed Jimmy to bring the car to the villa.

  

   "What's wrong? Jimmy." Song Ya knew that there was bad news when he saw his trembling face.

  

"Uh……"

  

   Jimmy stands in the middle of the living room, hands hanging at his sides, and looks at Linda and Hayden.

  

   "Let's go ahead, do you have any secrets that you can't let your own people know?" Song Ya was silent, "Say it quickly."

  

   "Uh, there seems to be something wrong with 3DFX..." Jimmy said.

  

   "What's the problem? Just say it all at once." 3DFX Song Ya invested 5 million dollars, and finally got it... No, he grabbed 20% of the shares.

  

   "They can't produce usable chips at all this year..." Jimmy replied.

  

   "WTF?"

  

   Song Ya Negro question mark, "You...wait, they can't produce usable chips this year? What do you mean? I saw the demo of his chip at the computer show last year."

  

   "The demo of the battle game?"

  

"Yes……"

  

   Song Ya still remembers the 3D graphics technology that exceeded the level of the audience. At that time, all the colleagues present had their faces black.

  

   "That Demo is fake." Jimmy said.

  

   "Fake? Impossible, I saw it with my own eyes..."

  

   "It's fake, the boss...they only finished one piece of software at the time, that is, what kind of graphics engine technology is called, the kind of effect that can be achieved by running on SGI's professional graphics workstation." Jimmy replied.

  

   Song Ya opened his mouth, and was stunned for a long time, "No, no, it's still impossible. The SGI graphics workstation is very big. I didn't see any..."

  

  "They hid the SGI graphics workstation under the demo table, directly connected to the monitor on the stage..."

  

   "……"

  

   was really fooled? Song Ya remembered the warning from Boss Hu, who was innovating at the time, saying that the level of the 3DFX guys would never exceed the industry too much. The people from NV and Dimeng have been clamoring, "This is impossible," then...

  

   "How did you know about this?" He wanted to struggle one last time.

  

   "The three founders of 3DFX revealed themselves. They proudly boasted to the technology media that they had obtained tens of millions of venture capital through this trick, and they got five million from you..." Jimmy said.

  

   "Oh! M-FXXK!"

  

   Finally confirmed and affirmed that he was deceived by the three second-rate scammers, Song Ya was so angry that he threw the coffee cup in his hand to the ground. Why did he send out bad news as soon as he entered March? It's no wonder that Jim Clark, as the former founder of SGI, once led the boss of the three 3DFX guys, he didn't invest money in it himself.

  

   "Honey, what's the matter?"

  

   Mariah Carey and the female assistant came out of the bedroom, looked at the broken tiles all over the floor, and walked to him worriedly.

  

   "It's nothing... I was a little excited just now. Linda~www.wuxiaspot.com~ please clean up here."

  

   Song Ya comforted her.

  

   "Although I don't understand the IT industry, can I sue those guys?" Hayden asked.

  

   "At that time, you didn't know that investors were rushing to make the investment, I...the investment agreement we signed had no relevant binding clauses, otherwise they would not sign..."

  

   Jimmy is like a kid who has done something wrong, with his head down, his hands pinching each other unconsciously, "My fault, boss, you said you gave me the last chance before, I messed up, so..."

  

   "You fool!"

  

Song Ya also knows that he is not to blame. It is still the problem. It is the ability to deceive people within the scope of the law. Therefore, the three founders of 3DFX will now openly use'little tricks' as talks to brag, and blame themselves. At that time, after seeing the demo effect, Jimmy was so excited to get the investment done as soon as possible. Even the innovative Mr. Hu and other people in the industry at the time did not care about the reaction of them. They secretly laughed at them for being jealous of their peers, and now he was beaten. Gotta bang! Really fucking, "but don't blame you this time."

  

   "What shall we do now?" Jimmy asked.

  

   "Let's go to San Jose."

  

Song Ya forced herself to calm down and thought about it carefully, "Linda, call Tony and the silencer too. Since the 3DFX scammers took so much money from me, they have to make the product for me anyway. Come out, otherwise...otherwise I won't make them feel better!"
