'Click, click. ’

In the evening, I went to have dinner with the founders of DTS and Palm, and decided to meet on an impromptu basis, neither of them had any major events, Terry Bilder continued to concentrate on surround sound technology, and also wanted to spy on whether he was willing to take over the DTS shares released by the great director Spielberg in June.

Jeffrey Hawkins has long since changed from the boss back to a senior wage earner, and he now owns less than his own Palm shares, which are now all decided by Palm's parent company, Mi Guo Robotics Company.

A+ Audio currently owns 5% of DTS's shares, a director, A+ Ventures also owns 5% of Palm's shares, all of which have been precipitated all the way from the beginning, and now everyone's interests tend to be stable, and there will be no more major contradictions, to paraphrase Terry Beard's words, 'APLUS is a very restrained investor', and the three have slowly changed from business partners to friends who can get along more honestly.

At the beginning of this year, Xerox's patent infringement lawsuit against Palm entered the trial stage, and now it has become a problem for the United States Robotics Company to deal with. Jeffrey Hawkins was relieved to be able to convince the United States Robotics to continue to support his PDA dream, and to say goodbye to his previous failures, he gave the new PDA product a new name: PalmPilot. Just introduced to the market, there are currently two models on sale, the 1000 and 5000, with Motorola's processors.

Although this black brick, which was still very bulky and rough, was a far cry from the cute little thing that Song Ya had seen in the apocalypse, which was beautiful, portable and could make phone calls, Jeffrey Hawkins was so confident that he gave everyone at the dinner table, including Alicia, a high-end 5000 model machine.

Song Ya is not interested in increasing their stake in DTS at the moment, and their share price has not performed well since going public, and they are not interested in Palm's new PDA product.

He was more concerned about Jeffrey Hawkins' unintentional boasting at the banquet, saying that Apple wanted to find 米国robotics to acquire the handheld computer operating system created by him, Palm OS.

Apple's self-developed Copland system had a fatal security flaw, and in order to ensure that the Macintosh 2 computer could be delivered in early 1997, they may have urgently needed a more mature operating system to replace Copland. ’

'It is rumored that Apple's first-quarter '96 earnings report is still a huge loss, and the stock price has fallen below nine cents per share! ’

Some of Apple's small and medium-sized shareholders collectively suggested to the company's senior management to invite Jobs back as soon as possible! ’

To make up for the shortcomings of the PC operating system, Apple's president, Amelio, appears to be approaching potential acquisition targets, including Be, founded by former Apple employee Louis Garsi, and NeXT, founded by former Apple chairman Steve Jobs, and he has even set his sights on operating system providers for other platforms. ’

Amelio has other options, such as sworn enemy Microsoft, which can pay a license fee per computer for its Windows system, and Microsoft should be willing, since the two are no longer companies of the same size. Or find the alliance of SUN and Netscape......

"Huh?"

Letting go of the mouse, Song Ya's eyes lit up, he originally wanted to know more about the company's recent situation for the Apple stock smashed in his hand, so he browsed the relevant news on the Internet, but he didn't expect to see this.

"One more general in the anti-Microsoft alliance!?"

He intuitively felt that this could be done, as the founder of Apple, Jobs hated the executives who kicked him out, and he would never eat back the grass, and Louis Garsi seemed to have an unpleasant relationship with Apple's top management. And Apple bows to Microsoft? They also have a proud well.

Jeffrey Hawkins's humble Palm OS must be fine, and he doesn't believe it himself.

Isn't there only one choice left for Apple? This is a live anti-Microsoft alliance.,Anyway, SUN doesn't make personal computers.。

Maybe the opportunity for Apple stock to unbundle is close at hand, and he must grasp it, or even promote it a little, he glanced at the time, gritted his teeth and dialed Jim Clark's phone.

"Jim! I just watched the financial news, are we negotiating with Apple with SUN? ”

It's late, and to make a long story short, Jim Clark doesn't have a good temper.

Alicia in her arms was woken up, she had just turned over, and her mouth had been covered by Song Ya's hand.

"We just talked on the phone......

Jim Clark was already asleep, but he was in an okay mood, he yawned and replied, "Sleep, APLUS, even if it's too early to spy on me for the inside information, the rotten people in Apple's management haven't reached the end of the day." ”

"Not yet? Their stock prices have fallen below nine cents! ”

"What's so surprising? It's not that they haven't reached this price, so they are not in a hurry. Oh yes, I think you have a lot of Apple stock in your hands? How many bucks did you buy? Ha ha! ”

The guy laughed loudly and hung up the phone.

"Phew!" Song Ya took a sip on her phone, "How many?" The average price is only one piece of three, Fxxkyou! ”

“OK。” The governor's wife pushed his hand away and replied.

"Maybe it's time to buy a new property."

It's not safe in a Silicon Valley hotel, the hotel staff here have little resistance to the green bills waved by the paparazzi, Song Ya was approached by BABYFACE real people a long time ago, "Hayden, find me a villa here, it's private, it's not too big, it's cheaper, it's close to A+ audio, A+ pedal company and Netscape." ”

Alicia has already slipped away, she will stay in Silicon Valley to handle the rest of A+ audio, while Song Ya rushes to Los Angeles, the Oscars are coming.

"Okay, stay in a hotel tonight or at Xue Linfen's house?" Hayden, who came to pick him up, asked.

"Hotel bar."

Song Ya glanced at the paparazzi motorcycle behind the car and decided to be more reserved first.

The forests of Los Angeles were in a commotion, and when they learned of his arrival, phone calls and text messages flew in.

"Linda, have you investigated Mira's current situation?"

For the time being, I can't let go of myself, although the news popularity has been overtaken by various other topics, but now there are still many tabloids digging deep into their love history and evidence of cheating, but I miss my ex-girlfriend a little, he called Linda.

"Luc Besson's new film has been filmed in Europe, and the official heroine is David Copperfield's fiancée Claudia Schiffer, since 96, Mira has not walked through the show of a first-line clothing brand, nor has she appeared on the cover of a first-line fashion magazine."

Linda replied: "There are rumors that the French no longer welcome her, and now it seems that she is indeed being banned by the collective over there." ”

Claudia Schiffer is the real top supermodel of our time, and Gaumont Pictures advertises that the production cost of the film called Fifth Element will be as high as 100 million, of course, Hollywood has always been skeptical of the courage of the French, thinking that they are bragging.

Regardless of whether the production cost reaches 100 million or not, the heroine is already miserable when she is cut off, and it is even worse to be favored by the French in the fashion circle, it seems that she and Luc Besson have indeed broken up, and they are not very happy.

"Where's she?" Song Ya asked.

"Also in Los Angeles, a colleague said a few days ago that she was seen outside the production department of Columbia Pictures, as if she was auditioning for some kind of film project."

Hayden replied: "A person, led by a small Hollywood agent." ”

Wow, isn't this just silently approaching yourself? "What project?" Song Ya asked again.

"The name hasn't been decided yet, like, you ask Escubus, he's on that project."

"Oh?" It was simple, and Song Ya immediately called Escuber again.

"Anaconda, the anaconda."
