In May '95, a coalition of companies such as IBM and Microsoft refused to accept a number of new audio-visual digital format standards, which led to great operational risks for all affiliates in the SD and DVD camps, and the DTS listing process was blocked.

Founder Terry Bilder began to hesitate again, but this time he did not have much time left, DTS must be listed on the Nasdaq by the end of the year, or it is likely to go bankrupt because it cannot afford to compensate Series C Wall Street investors for the VAM agreement. Of course, this is a gambling process, and if it is really bankrupt, Wall Street investors will also lose money, and in the end they should be able to reach a compromise.

In this respect, Terry Bilder's chronic son is also good, he always has the ability to put things off until the last minute, so that others can't stand to take the initiative to find a solution.

Netscape is smooth, unlike Song Ya's repeater-style preaching, Jim Clark and Barksd frequently speak in various high-profile science and technology forums and media, Microsoft is wrong Netscape is right, the future of the Internet, the network and people's lives are closely related, it can be described as a new information technology revolution, not profitable, but we have market share, and in the end, we will always make a profit, etc., put forward various subversive concepts, and the response is also very enthusiastic.

Academics, the tech industry, the Internet industry, and Wall Street all liked them, especially the big-mouthed Bacsd, whose jokes about Bill Gates and Ballmer were widely retweeted and quoted.

However, Microsoft has not yet given any reaction, perhaps because they are used to it, they don't care at all about the clamor of a small new company, and they are fully focused on the development of the Windows 95 operating system, which is advertised as an epoch-making operating system will probably be launched in August or September.

According to Dr. Mei's report, 3DFX is now on the right track, and their three visionary founders have chosen to open up the 3D acceleration engine for free, which has attracted a large number of game companies to join the 3DFX camp and start developing games based on the new engine in time for the launch of 3DFX's hardware acceleration cards in the middle of next year.

Song Ya is very satisfied with everything, he doesn't know that because of the sudden accident after seeing JavaScript, he escaped the catastrophe of being compressed by Jim Clark, and he doesn't know that Goodman and others have quietly laid out the post-APLUS era, he only knows that because of this sudden 'illness', his wife Mariah Carey took the initiative to fly to Silicon Valley, crying and apologizing in person, and promised that he would never willfully make trouble by changing brokers and other ways next time.

And for the United States, the biggest variable in May is the sudden breakdown of the auto trade negotiations with the book.

Before,The book was basically obedient to my father.,At most, fake a coquettish and then twist and pinch to comply.。 The strong reaction of the political and business circles of the United States is estimated to be greatly insufficient,Since the textile trade war in the fifties,Color TV war、Steel war、Automobile war、Semiconductor war,Multiple textile agreements、Steel products agreement、Color TV agreement、Automobile trade agreement、Parts agreement、Telecommunications agreement、Mobile phone agreement、Semiconductor trade agreement、Plaza agreement、Louvre agreement、Financial services agreement、Structural barriers agreement、Comprehensive economic agreement and so on......

If you can't compete, you will increase tariffs, and if you compete, you will be forced to limit production and accept the financial capital of the United States, and if you can't do it, you will be forced to purchase United States parts, and if you can't do it, you will support your competitors, patent wars, financial wars, and even direct personal threats and stinky book entrepreneurs and politicians, in short, if you don't achieve your goal, you will not give up, and in the end, please swallow it obediently no matter what! This set of robber tricks in the United States has been played very skillfully, and the economic ties between the United States and Japan have become deeper and deeper, and even financial products such as the pension fund of the Ministry of Health and Welfare have been forced to open to the capital of the United States, not to mention other large enterprises, you have me, and I am in the ...... But it doesn't have to be you......

The book capital has been pitted in the United States, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, etc., have left the market with huge losses, but from another aspect, the book companies that can survive 95 years are heroes, such as Sony, such as some large car companies, and some low-key traditional industrial capital.

If the face is completely torn, both sides will be hurt, and taking advantage of the current president's governing crisis, Senate Majority Leader Bob Doll suddenly announced his candidacy, officially kicking off the general election that will last more than a year.

Bob Doll was at the peak of his political prestige, he led the Elephants to regain the majority in the Senate and House of Representatives in the '94 midterm elections, forced Congress to pass a series of bills led by the Elephant Party, and repeatedly deflated the Donkey Party, and curryed favor with the technology industry by successfully issuing a telecommunications bill, throwing all the pressure into the Donkey Party side of the House of Representatives.

But he is not qualified to stand in front of the current president, and he must first take out the opponents of the Elephant Party in the primary, dissuade Colin and other strong Elephant politicians, and do everything possible to prevent the emergence of a third party that lost the Elephant Party's votes in the last general election.

Similarly, Songya did not know that Bob Dole had called Giuliani to let Motura go in order to appease organizations such as the National Teamsters' Union, which still had Italian or mafia influence.

"Why!"

In New York, Carl Lightman angrily asked the special prosecutor, "Motura has withdrawn all the testimony of alleged perjury, and with what little is left, you agree to let him easily exchange it for not being prosecuted!?" ”

"Perjury? What evidence do you have to prove that those testimonies he retracted were perjury. ”

The special prosecutor asked rhetorically as he cleaned up the file, "Just by your naked eye?" ”

"Yes, the subtle series of reactions in his body, and the questions that I deliberately asked in accordance with the ethology, I at least knew that his prior testimony about the Harlem nightclub shooting by APLUS was fabricated." Carl Lightman replied.

"Your theories can't be used as evidence in court, and Motura has already withdrawn that part of his testimony."

The Special Prosecutor said in a quiet voice.

"It's politics, right? It's a political consideration, right? Carl Letterman stared at him with blazing eyes.

"Regardless of whether it is or not, we have decided to reach a non-prosecution deal with Motula, then my task force will be officially disbanded, and this matter is in the past."

The special prosecutor said, "Maybe a college campus is a better fit for you Agent Letterman, and you should go there and teach psychology, human behavior, or whatever." ”

"Aren't you Mayor Giuliani?"

"I'm from the New York prosecutors, and I'm not loyal to a politician."

"Haha, I can tell you're weak-hearted, Mr. Prosecutor. You're his man, isn't Mayor Giuliani always known as an iron-fisted and selfless person? I didn't expect him to do dirty deals in private! Carl Lightman said, "Can you guess something?" ”

"Don't use the same tricks against criminals as you do against me! Cal! Don't be so romantic, Mr. Giuliani is no longer a prosecutor, but a mayor, a politician, OK? ”

In front of Motura, the case was handled in a hurry, and the special prosecutor was not happy, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he simply hinted: "This matter is over, anyway, the New York prosecutor will not follow up, and I also remind you not to bother your Director Frees, they are all in the same group!" ”

"Why!?"

Song Ya returned to Chicago's Highland Park to learn the news, "Motura and the prosecution reached a plea agreement, and then was gently let go? ”

"We don't know anything about what deal they struck."

Hamlin said: "Maybe there is something bad about Motula's testimony against us, and he hates you so much that maybe it's time to use some New York politics, didn't you say that the police commissioner in the mayor's office is Dinkins's man?" ”

"Fxxk, I don't necessarily have to buy the inner city broadcaster yet." Song Ya said, "Thirty million to buy a message? I'm not wronged. ”

"The latest outcome of the negotiations on Alicia's side is a $30 million capital injection, and the inner city broadcaster voluntarily divests some of its loss-making assets before the deal is finalized to make their financial performance healthier."

Goodman analyzed: "There are two points that the Sutton family will never back down. The first is money, the inner city broadcasting company can't survive 95 years without these 30 million, and the price can't be discussed. The second is power, the Sutton family wants to maintain the management until 99 anyway, and Dingkins also supports them, and the result of their investment for the inner city broadcasting company is certainly not to let them out of the game. ”

"Yes." Song Ya spread his hands.

"You've also said before that you have some follow-up thoughts on the Inner City Broadcasting Company, what is your idea for APLUS?" Hamlin asked.

"I'm bluffing with Alicia."

Song Ya shrugged, "Actually, it's very simple, you have also read the provisions of the telecommunications bill passed by the Senate, everyone judges that if the bill is passed, the competition and mergers and acquisitions in the cable TV industry will become more and more intense, I plan to stuff the powerful African-American media people in the inner city radio stations into several small TV stations under his family, package them, and then sell them to cable operators or TV networks at a premium." Last year, MC Hammer's broken TV station was bought by Comcast at a high premium, which should be able to return a lot of blood, at least let me lose less! ”

"It's a clever thing to do, but we're just investing in the inner city radio company, and if the Sutton family wanted to do it sooner, they just wouldn't give up the radio station." Goodman smiled wryly.

"I know, that's why I won't buy it."

Song Ya reluctantly circled around the room, "In this way, Goodman, you go to Dingkins and ask him to help find the police commissioner for information." ”

"It's a favor, if you don't buy the Inner City Broadcasting Company in the future...... Goodman reminded, "It's not a good idea to play Dinkins." ”

"I'll buy it, but I can't do it and there's a last resort, hasn't Gordon of BET been looking for me to pull investment and want to start a new black 24-hour news station? After I bought the Inner City Broadcasting Company, I poached all the senior media people for my new TV station, and then negotiated channel resources and other cooperation with other companies except the TCI cable network where BET is located. Song Ya said.

"Then BET's Johnson will hate you to death." Hamlin said.

"The traditional media industry is not like the technology industry, this is not an emerging incremental market, the competition is originally a little less if you are a little more, I will be a little less, if I want to enter the game, it is impossible not to offend people at all, it depends on who is better to bully."

Song Ya's eyes lit up, "Johnson is on the side of the Elephant Party, and the Donkey Party now needs a black media mouthpiece comparable to BET, the inner city radio company is the main station, Oprah is the main variety show and talk show, and there is still some market space in serious news." And since Giuliani of the Elephant Party let Motura go so lightly, there is nothing left for me to maintain a friendship with them! ”

"APLUS, THERE'S A PIECE OF NEWS I THINK YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT."

At this time, Linda walked in and turned on the TV, 'Former billionaire and actress Milla Jovovich's father was sentenced today in the case of the Ponzi scheme, Mr. Jovovich was convicted of multiple fraud charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison, and the court ordered him to return the 77 million dollars of illegal gains in the multiple fraud cases and imposed a fine of 150 million dollars......

The TV announcer reported: "Even without prior knowledge, the profits made by investors in the Ponzi scheme are illegal, and New York prosecutors have begun to pursue and call on some investors to voluntarily return the profits." ’

"This unfortunate ghost has been sentenced to a heavier sentence than some murders."

Song Ya looked at Mira's father on the TV screen and muttered.
