Chapter 752: Brotherhood

"Did you do hair removal?"

In Tribeca's study at three o'clock in the morning, Song Ya was woken up by the sound of Suosuo, and when she opened her eyes, Alicia was bending over with her back to her and lifting her skirt, the sofa was not high, and her eyes were just level with the other party's smooth long legs, so she reached out and touched it.

"Ahh

Alicia didn't expect him to wake up, and let out a short exclamation, "NASTY, APLUS, WOMEN DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS THIS KIND OF TOPIC WITH MEN." ”

"Okay, sorry."

Seeing that this mature woman maintained a very good figure and was covered by a cold lawyer professional skirt, "It's only three o'clock, and you're going back to the hotel?" ”

"Sloane lives next door to me, and I don't want her to notice anything."

She got dressed, pulled her long hair out of her collar with both hands, put on the watch resting on the table, picked up her bag, and tucked a folder under her armpit. ”

"Morning, Dingkins wants to talk to me."

Song Ya seemed to hesitate a little when she saw her holding the doorknob, "Mawota outside the door is one of my most trusted bodyguards, he will take you to the hotel properly, and you won't be discovered by reporters or anything." ”

“OK。” Reassuringly, she pulled open the door and dodged out.

Song Ya yawned comfortably on the sofa, a woman in her thirties had another taste, he closed his eyes and tasted it a little, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled, but he didn't expect Alicia to be wearing that old-fashioned white conservative underwear, a little funny, and asked Linda to go to Victoria's Secret to buy some trendy styles for her, well, that's it, the size has been measured, and I already know it in my heart......

Netscape's first thrilling trading day was still relatively strong for himself, one day, it only took one day, and he was worth nearly 150 million more on his family's stock alone, and he recalled the TV news he watched last night.

Jim Clark and they should have PR financial and technology media, most of the touting targets are on Mark Anderson, the tech hero, and the entertainment gossip media talk more about themselves, they cut themselves standing outside the crowd when the bell rings in the center of the picture, and titles such as the youngest and most successful singer investor in history are put on their heads without money, and every station is saying good things.

Johnson's BET even made a special program urgently, and Gordon, who was still there as a guest host, happened to stand on the last shift, naturally touting the new boss, and some of the words felt a little numb in his ears......

These guys don't want to think about it, the stock thing is likely to fall back to the prototype, and what should they do when they blow too much to help themselves?

Today's trading day, I don't know if Netscape stock can hit back to the 60 mark, or continue to ......

Oh yes, there was a clip of a movie in the new apocalypse yesterday, Xiao Lizi seems to be still starring, he is older, and his appearance is completely incomparable to now, and I don't know how many years later, but it seems that one thing is certain: he will become popular......

Thinking about it, Song Ya fell into a deep sleep.

"Singing will still be the focus of my life, and the new album will be released on my birthday in October, and the next single will start hitting the charts in a few days. As for investment...... It's just an investment, I didn't do anything decisive to the success of Netscape, here I just want to publicly express my gratitude to Mark Anderson, the genius programmer who is also an entrepreneur who is very thoughtful and practical about the future of the entire Internet industry......"

Before leaving for the New York main station of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, he was interviewed by reporters who had been squatting all night downstairs, and after the successful IPO, the needs of Netscape changed, and Jim Clark decided to step back into the background with Bacsd to focus on making Mark Anderson the next tech hero to attract the world's attention, and he was given a new task to cooperate.

"You ask me and Mark? Belch...... We knew each other very early, when ...... About ninety-three years? The IT engineer at my record company would occasionally go to UIUC to find friends, and one day they would bring me with me, just to have fun. Mark was a student there, and we met at the National Supercomputer Application Center, and he showed me the mosaic browser he was involved in programming, and it was called that at the time, and I can't remember it clearly......"

"Of course, it would be false to say that I was not excited, and I personally did not expect the stock price to reach such a high level at the opening anyway."

"No, no, it's not too high, Netscape Browser now has a market share of 85%, I heard that there are other statistics above 90? That's equivalent to the first thing almost all World Wide Web visitors need to do is open our browser...... Our software has sold millions of copies in half a year, and we will continue to work on the intranet in the future......"

"The Internet represents the future, and although I don't know much about it personally, I agree with Mark's view that Negroponte's foreshadowing in the article is not far from us, and the twenty-first century is ...... at hand."

There seemed to be a lot of serious social and financial media mixed in with the entertainment reporters who usually cooperated, and when the questions turned to professional issues such as profitability and new products, Song Ya waved his hand and ended the interview.

"APLUS, HOW DO YOU THINK NETSCAPE'S STOCK PRICE WILL PERFORM TODAY?" A reporter asked.

"I'm sorry, but I never cared about these short-term fluctuations." Song Ya replied.

"You're a value investor, huh? Will you get rid of all or part of the Netscape stock you own after the ban is lifted? The lock-up period is half a year, right? ”

"Go to the company announcement, it's all there." Song Ya got into the car.

When he arrived at the main station in New York, as soon as he appeared in the front lobby, the black employees began to applaud him with admiration.

"Thanks, thanks, that's it."

He raised his hand and waved like a big man, "Pierre." He shook hands with Pierre Sutton, the general manager who greeted him.

"You disappeared in the blink of an eye yesterday and don't like Wall Street parties?"

Pierre Sutton smiled flatteringly, "Oh yes, did you hear that?" Sugnate really fished out 2PAC, and it was also yesterday, it seems that he helped 2PAC pay more than a million parole fees. ”

"Spending money and coming out?" Song Ya was a little surprised, she didn't expect Sugnette to really get things done, how long did 2PAC go to prison? Under the normal parole process, it is not possible to come out now.

"Yes, it is rumored that Sugnette made the girl who sued 2PAC change her tune, so ......," Pierre Sutton said.

That's right, I don't know how Sugnette got the plaintiff girl, it's about the same as his blood gang, Song Ya shook his head, "Anyway, it's none of my business." ”

"Now that you have switched to the upper class, and you are no longer involved in the topical singer Beef, I feel that 2PAC is more popular than you in the bottom group." Pierre Sutton was a little anxious for the new boss, "He agreed to Sugnette's condition of helping to get people, and transferred the singer contract from Interscope Records to Death Row Records, and the new album will be released soon, and you will play against the stage." ”

"I don't care about that."

There is no overlap between his new album and the gangster rap, they are both apocalypse strong orders, and Song Ya is full of confidence.

"Mr. Dinkins, APLUS has arrived."

The two walked and talked, and Pierre took him to the small room where Dingins was, helped close the door and left.

"Congratulations, kid, whoa......"

Dingkins shook hands warmly and looked at him with appreciative eyes, "How did you do that?" At your age, I can't even give examples of white people of the same age......"

"It's not conclusive yet, Mr. Dingkins, that's just yesterday's stock price." Song Ya said modestly.

"Don't worry, the entire Internet industry and the investors behind it will not let Netscape's stock price fall into a joke, sit."

There were only Dingkins and himself in the room, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Straighten out the inner-city broadcaster?" Song Ya replied: "I already have a plan, split some, sell some, and then withdraw from part of the business......"

"Just let it go, we all trust you." The way Dinkins looked at him now had evolved to dot, "You won't encounter any resistance to your reform here. ”

"That's great, thank you, Mr. Dinkins."

"Don't thank me, you deserve it."

The two then chatted about the management of the inner city broadcaster, "Linda will probably be my board representative, but she's busy with the record mess, so sometimes Dr. Chan and Alicia will help me with ideas, of course, they won't come out directly." ”

Song Ya didn't want to risk being criticized by the outside world for letting a Chinese and a white woman, especially the wife of the governor of Illinois, meddle in a purely African-American company.

"No problem, it's not the fifties anymore, your original intentions are different from those of your ancestors, and the Sutton father and son and the other executives will understand and help you keep it a secret."

Before the sixties came into contact with racist policies, the laws of some states in the United States would directly stipulate which businesses blacks could not interfere with, such as banking and real estate, when two African-American businessmen in Texas had to hire a white blue-collar to help them negotiate business and sign contracts.

"That's right." Dingkins asked, "Did you join the fraternity at the University of Chicago?" ”

"Brotherhood? No, I never live on campus and I never participate in school social activities. ”

The University of the United States has a strong tradition of fraternity and sorority, there are many fraternities of all kinds, some elite clubs have a high entry threshold, great energy, and a wide range of contacts after graduation, some are more Buddhist, and there is little contact after graduation.

Of course, celebrities like himself have received invitations from almost all fraternities, but he politely refuses them all, because he has heard that basically all fraternities have bad habits of bullying newcomers, especially during the initiation ceremony, the seniors will design all kinds of insulting so-called initiation tests, so as to screen out their own people who sincerely join, and often cause bullying scandals.

"Oh, that's not going to work." "There's no boy who doesn't join the fraternity?" ”

"I was going to think about it after I passed all the core courses, the University of Chicago has a pretty high elimination rate, and I don't want to be distracted just yet, you know, I have so little time to spend on my studies."

Song Ya also knows that some powerful fraternities are all over the country, and joining will have a lot of benefits for future connections, but isn't he already a billionaire now? The so-called connections do not belong to any fraternity. Coupled with the fact that the University of Chicago has more students who are immersed in their studies, and the tradition in this area has not been as strong as that of the Ivy League schools, he has tried his excuse in a hurry.

Moreover, joining a brotherhood generally represents what kind of political leanings he has, and he needs to carefully consider and figure out this matter.

"That's not going to work, how about joining my brotherhood? Omega Psi Phi, we have a chapter at the University of Chicago. Dingkins asked, "Have you heard of it?" ”

"Of course."

Omega Psi Phi was founded at Howard University, where Tinkins studied, and only accepts African-Americans, Michelle's husband seems to be a member, and in addition to Dinkins, there are celebrities such as Jesse Jackson and Michael Jordan.

"Then join us, I'll give Chicago a call?"

Dingkins was eager to get things done right away.

"Uh, okay, you fight."

Song Ya thought about it, he didn't have many good choices, it was not suitable to join a white brotherhood after all, and there were too few reliable clubs for blacks, "But I don't have time to participate in club activities, especially any ghost initiation ceremony." He specifically reminded the other party.

"Don't worry, as long as you can help with some money from the University of Chicago kids' party, you're the local boss." Dingkins dialed happily.
