3DFX is a delicious poison, once it is released, the powerful performance instantly detonates the global technology and gaming circles, it seems that everyone is proud of owning a Voodoo graphics card, but this thing needs to be combined with Intel's new Pentium processor with MMX instruction set, and another high-end 2D graphics card to play full efficiency, the price of the body is 399 dollars, and even hardcore gamers will want to cry when they save a whole set of PCs.

In comparison, the Sony PS game console is only 299, and it is often discounted!

Song Ya wanted to cry even more, what did the unknown financial media think of as a "venture capital genius", "a discerning eye", "a lonely investor who is not understood", "not just as simple as a flying pig", "he funded the 3D revolution!" ''Who has been deceived now?'' 'After sending an afterthought, apologizing and touting in all kinds of fleshy language, people who don't know still think they bought an advertorial!

"But I'm really cheated!"

The self-proclaimed experts have never judged right, at the moment 3DFX companies have burned up 20 million financing, 10 million loans, Voodoo chips have indeed begun to make money, but the scale of profitability is simply not enough to support the development of the next generation of products, in the field of graphics cards where there are countless large and small companies competing, the lead will only be temporary.

"ATI will launch similar products soon, and there is not much difference between it and us."

"Hehe, the bank won't lend anymore, they say our fixed assets are close to insolvency, unless you help guarantee ......"

"It doesn't matter, both Carmack and EA are willing to join the new round of funding, and our product convinces them."

"Jim Clark? No, he retracted his previous intentions, saying that it was thankless to do hardware......"

Ross, the boss of the trio, sat across from the conference table, smiling hippie as he dodged Song Ah's angry throwing attacks, pens, bow ties, pocket towels, cufflinks, and smashed him with everything he could get his hands on.

"Don't, don't ......"

Seeing him pick up the glass, the others waved their hands and pulled their arms, "APLUS, don't be so angry, except for the lack of funds, now our situation is much better than before, it can be said that we are on the right track, we are already a mature chip design company that can make a stable profit." 3DFX President Ballard advised.

"Except! Finish! Lack! Capital! Gold!? This sentence made Song Ya angry and gritted his teeth.

"I heard that Micron is trying to use ASML's stepper lithography machine PAS5500 to eliminate Nikon and Canon equipment, and if it succeeds, the memory manufacturing cost will drop significantly."

Ballard said, "Based on the pain points of our users, we plan to come up with a new graphics card with integrated 3D and 2D chips, tentatively named Voodoo Rush, which will save users some purchase costs, and the situation will improve, and next year our Voodoo 2 will be more powerful." ”

"Heard? If? ”

Song Ya rolled her eyes, "I feel like you're all working together to deceive me!" You're in the league with the three of them, Ballard. ”

"We're making history, APLUS." Ross said.

"Make history with my money." Song Ya glared at him, "How much money do we need to burn before launching the next generation of products?" ”

"Another 30 million."

Song Ya finally threw the glass in her hand out.

"Boss ......"

Linda heard the movement and pushed the door in, looking at the group of people who were staring at the broken glass on the ground, "Do you have time?" MJ has just released a new music video, which has caused a lot of controversy. ”

"I'll take care of him, don't bother me with this kind of thing."

How could Song Ya be in the mood to care about this, "I can't afford 30 million, and I won't be able to do it." Also, just now the second largest investor in 3DFX called me to inform me that they have united some small shareholders to hold an emergency shareholders' meeting and appoint an accounting company to audit the accounts, and now the Voodoo graphics card is so hot, telling them that not only can they not recover their investment, but even the capital chain is about to break no one will believe it? They all thought I was going to make a fortune! ”

"Then take the money from Carmack and EA, they are insiders, which shows that we are more favored. Then take in some Wall Street money and start the listing process. ”

Ballard's idea should have been decided a long time ago, "It is in our interests to bind the game company more deeply, and we have proven our strength, and we will be favored by the capital market in the future. ”

"How much do carmaks and EA bid? What about Wall Street? Song Ya asked.

Ballard glanced at the trio and offered several near-heist financing terms.

"No, how much more do you need to burn in the next quarter?"

Are you the one who will be robbed? Song Ya Song Ya looked at Dr. Mei, who was in charge of supervising 3DFX, and after getting a nod of confirmation, she picked up the landline microphone in front of her and dialed a number.

"If the price of memory does not fall, combined with the current sales situation...... Well, at least 10 million. Ballard said.

"O'Grady, it's me, APLUS, I need your Northern Trust to finance my company. Well, about 10 million, the company's operation ...... It's not very pretty, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you for help. Come on！ I'm your big customer, the biggest one, right? Don't say ......no when I need your help."

According to Sloan's theory of the financier, politicians don't feel bad about using taxpayers' money, and don't these senior bank managers do the same? Song Ya is a person who is very good at drawing inferences, "The Northern Trust should help solve the loan of about five million, you can talk about it for a while." ”

The trio cheered.

Pretending to be a hip-hop gang is getting worse and worse, Song Ya is running out of tricks for them, so they can't really beat them up, right? The trio estimated that the trio had gradually figured it out, "One and a half, if the situation doesn't get better in a month, you know my temper." Then you can continue to talk to potential investors such as Carmack, but tell them that I don't accept being robbed. ”

Of course, it is necessary to continue to intimidate.

"So be it." Song Ya walked out of the conference room, "Linda, what did you just say?" ”

"MJ's new MV."

"Well, let's take a look." Pushing open the door of her office, Mira Mira, who was half-lying in the chair of the president of A+ Records, stared at her, "The meeting is over?" She yawned.

"Haha, why did you come here? Need to continue to rest? If you don't need it, that's just right, let's watch MJ's new MV together. ”

Song Ya went over and picked up Mila and put her on her lap, telling Linda to turn on the TV.

Skin head， dead head

Skinheads, skeletons

Everybody gone bad

There is not a single good thing

Situation， aggravation

See the wind and rudder, opportunistic

Everybody allegation

All of them are making baseless accusations

In the suit， on the news

In the lawsuit, in the news

Everybody dog food

Filled with shameless lies

Bang bang， shot dead

Ping Pong, shot dead

Everybody gone mad

People are going crazy

All I wanna say is that

That's all I have to say

They dont really care about us

Nobody really cares about us!

The MV comes from MJ's controversial single they don't care about us in last year's new album, which is the one with discriminatory Jewish words, and this time the MV is even more than that, the scene is arranged in a prison full of black prisoners, interspersed with clips of Rodney King being beaten by police officers in '92 that led to the Los Angeles incident, and the words and phrases protested by Jews have not changed a word.

"The King of Pop can still create topicality."

Song Ya looked at MJ, who was full of unease about the ninety-three case on the screen, and grinned: "But is this really good?" Uncover the scar after four years? Does he want to incite the black community in the Donkey Party's base in a crucial election year in power? Not really, right? Ninety-two years was like the party's world, and now the times have changed......"

"It's really irrational, as soon as the MV came out, it was scolded by the mainstream media, and some Jewish groups petitioned to ban the MV." Linda said.

"Hmm."

MJ is really influential, Song Ya read an article on the all-music website, his family summarized the chart data of various music and entertainment media in the first half of this year, MJ is still the undoubted most popular singer in the whole country, the king of the country Garth Brooks is in second place, Madonna is third, but there is a Flop trend, and it will be surpassed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston in some of the charts.

Occasionally, he will appear in the fifth to tenth range of the list with the fast-becoming country queen Shania Towne, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Gunslinger, Elton John, Boyz II man, etc.

Expanding globally, MJ is still number one, Madonna is number two, rock stars have surpassed Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, and their rankings have plummeted along with a number of country stars.

No way, hip-hop and country music can't get out of the circle at the moment, and I'm in a better position than country singers, because Ai Se Eu Te Pego's saliva song is more popular with listeners in Latin-speaking regions.

"The topic is burning out so quickly that it's likely to cause this song to hit the top spot on your Earned It's B charts." Linda asked, "Do we need to do something?" Uh, I mean you're running around this week to make some news? ”

"Leave him alone, you go out, go out."

Song Ya doesn't care more and more about the B list, maybe it's because the status has arrived, maybe it's because the Chicago conference joint ranking mode of the B list has gradually become invalid after the B list has changed its statistical algorithm, and the cost performance of the list is becoming less and less cost-effective, "All I want to say is that, they don't really care about us......" He hummed MJ's song and gnawed wildly at the big white girl.
