No one is in the mood to listen to the song, and the atmosphere of the venue is a little lighter, don't look at Jim Clark and Barksd confidently going around to promote how successful Netscape browser is, how high the market share is, and how the Internet represents the future, but Song Ya feels that on the one hand, their own ambitions are expanding step by step with the enthusiastic response of the market, and at the same time, deep down they are a little bottomless.

The two advanced the listing schedule, so that Netscape is about to become the first pure Internet listed company in the true sense, and this time they will raise the issue price of new shares that have been set, in the case of the company has not yet made a profit......

Of course, maybe I can't understand these tech heroes who don't have any previous experience to refer to.

"Okay, we agreed."

Quatson came in ten minutes later to announce the outcome of their discussion, and the people in the room cheered, and the meeting seemed to have been going on for nine hours before Song Ya arrived, and everyone was exhausted.

"APLUS, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID."

As the last insignificant straw that broke Morgan Stanley's back, this became another excellent example of his lucky pig, and in the evening Mark Anderson offered to invite him to dinner, but the sloppy genius programmer was in a good mood, "If it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't have gotten the shares and options from Jim." ”

Indeed, as a rich catfish, Song Ya's original entry competition slightly mixed up with Jim Clark's wishful thinking, Mark Anderson cleverly took advantage of Jim Clark's fear that he would switch to a cash-rich hip-hop star in the early stage of his choice, and got better technical equity conditions for himself, after Netscape went public, his original shares and incentive options added up to about two percent, and according to the issue price of fourteen yuan, it was also worth more than 20 million.

"Will you exercise your rights?"

Song Ya asked.

"Yes, for eighteen months, I work more than ten hours a day, all year round......"

Mark Anderson unabashedly began to look forward to it: "When the company goes public, I will treat myself well." ”

"Haha......"

Song Ya understood his feelings of infinite longing for the life of a multimillionaire, "You deserve it." ”

During the dinner, he and Dr. Chen asked about the development direction of the industry, and Mark Anderson said that he did not know, he had been working hard behind closed doors for more than a year, in fact, he was not very sensitive to the trend of the industry, "Have you heard the story of jeans? ”

"Are you referring to the fact that during the gold rush in Beimi, the gold diggers did not get rich, but instead provided the miners with sturdy and hard-wearing jeans, and the merchants got rich in one fell swoop?"

Dr. Chan asked.

"Pretty much, I don't know where the stable profit model of the Internet industry is, but now everyone is pouring into this industry, isn't it? Maybe if you take a step back and think about it, the businesses that provide the infrastructure will do well. ”

Knowing Song Ya's goodness, Mark Anderson's attitude is much more sincere than before, "Network enterprises have a large number of high-performance server hosts, high-throughput switches, and faster fiber network needs. ”

"I know I know ......"

Song Ya has a kinship, and her American music website has reached a notch in terms of visits after the Madonna and 2PAC scandal, but so what? Not to mention the lack of profit, a large amount of money was given to Cisco, SUN, and telecom providers that provide high-speed broadband.

"That's the direction of investment."

Saying goodbye to Mark Anderson, who hurried back to the company to work overtime, he said to Dr. Chen, "At the end of the year, I will inject 10 million into A+ Venture Capital, and you will help me spend it in related industries next year." ”

"I'll keep an eye on it." Dr. Chen nodded, "Anything else?" ”

"In short, I only provide judgment in the general direction."

Song Ya began to pretend to be forced by the apocalypse, "In the future, audio-visual products will have better sound quality and picture quality, mobile phones, TVs, and monitors will have more detailed and thinner screens, and JAVA and JavaScript programming languages will get greater development, and then ...... I like Microsoft's operating system, Yahoo's search engine, Netscape's browser......"

Speaking and talking, it feels like that's actually the case, and many people in this era have the same judgment.

"This is the internal logic of your investment in graphics chip manufacturers like 3DFX, VCD machine manufacturers like Wanyan, DTS, Palm, Netscape, etc., right?"

But Dr. Chen didn't know, "But your most successful investment so far is the Bath Fluorescent Factory, what was your judgment on that time?" He asked.

"Forget it, it was an accident."

Song Ya waved his hand, what the other party didn't know was that he also bet heavily on Apple, HP, Cisco, Microsoft and SUN, Nokia, EA and other related companies in the stock market.

Now in mid-July, the two left Silicon Valley and reappeared in New York, where they joined up with Alicia, Morningstar, and Ms. Sloan to make their first official offer to the Manhattan Gang for the inner-city broadcaster.

"With 28 million injections, you want to take 33.3 percent of the shares, four directors and the chairmanship, and have the power to dispose of non-performing assets?"

Pierre Sutton shook his head again and again after reading the document, "The Inner City Broadcasting Company is worth 100 million, not 84 million as you think, and besides, this is completely impossible for us to accept." ”

He pushed back the documents related to the Apollo Theater, "We will do everything we can to keep the theater right, but we will not agree to a preset schedule bet, otherwise according to your plan, if we lose this theater 2,000 years ago, your stake will automatically increase again, which is unfair to us." ”

"So you're not sure you can keep it?"

The profitability of the Apollo Theater is the top priority, otherwise even if the inner city broadcaster gets its own nearly 30 million real money, the money will not be enough to lose for 2,000 years, and then in order to avoid bankruptcy, it will have to think of another way, which is still on the premise that the government appropriations, black organization donations and private donations that were seen in the face of the Manhattan gang in the early years can still be maintained at the original level.

But that should be impossible, as the old Chinese saying goes, people go to tea and cool, with the defeat of Ding Jins, both the amount of appropriations and donations are declining year by year, and the speed has a tendency to accelerate.

Song Ya showed her fangs here, made a gesture of displeasure, and leaned lazily back in the chair.

"We'll do our best, you understand, right? APLUS。 ”

It is true that Dinkins and the federal congressman Rrangel will do everything in their power to keep the Apollo Theater for their own benefit, and Song Ya has no doubt about this, but the current opponent is the current mayor of New York, Giuliani, some Elephant politicians in Harlem have long been very concerned about the Apollo Theater being controlled by the Manhattan Gang, and some New York legislatures at all levels last year put forward a proposal to forcibly reclaim the management rights or simply launch a corruption investigation, but the Donkey Party blocked it.

"I can understand it, but ...... That's it for us, and you saw the ...... today."

Song Yachao pointed to the side of the conference table, "I have prepared an all-elite team for this capital injection, Pierre, you know the market, my early investment can prove that my attitude towards capital injection is very serious, and the quotation made by our team is also very professional." ”

"We have carefully studied the business statements you provide, and this should be a win-win offer that everyone can accept." Alicia added.

"That's not going to work." Pierre continued to shake his head.

The meeting was held at the New York main station of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, which received a special grant for the renovation of African-American media just after Dingkins took office, in fact, it has only been a few years, everything is very new, the two main stations in New York are also one of the few units in his family that can make a stable profit, and Pierre is sitting next to the manager of the New York main station, as well as some senior executives of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, all black.

And Song Ya's side, except for Linda and himself, who are of mixed race, are either white or Chinese, and they are clearly distinguishable from the other side.

Ms. Sloane threw the pen on the table with some impatience, "What about the others?" Except for the Apollo Theater, can you accept the other conditions? ”

"Alas, we need to think again." Pierre Sutton sighed, "We'll get back to you as soon as possible, APLUS." ”

"Alright, let's set a time then." Song Ya got up and left the table.

"Wait APLUS, uh, talk alone."

Pierre Sutton chased him out and led him into his office, "I need your disposal plan for non-performing assets, since you have organized such a professional team, you must have a specific design, right?" "You know, there are political considerations behind the maintenance of some so-called non-performing assets, and you can't just shut them down or spin them off and sell them at will," he said. ”

"It's time to change the way Pierre thinks, and political calculations can't prevent the inner city broadcaster from going bankrupt......"

Song Ya smiled, "It's just time to manage it like you run a real business." ”

"There is always a huge gap between the ideal and the reality." Pierre Sutton did not answer directly.

"I'm not going to give you those things, I know, you're going to take our offer today and turn around and ask Quincy Jones if they want a match, and I'll have to take it with a grain of salt."

Song Ya shook his head, "But you can submit a document in advance to explain which non-performing assets cannot be moved, or to what extent." ”

"Okay, I will, thank you APLUS." Pierre Sutton agreed.

"This kid really didn't build it."

After seeing off Song Ya and his party, the Inner City Broadcasting Company's own people continued to hold meetings, "No wonder he became famous at a young age, got a singer contract similar to MC Hammer from Sony Columbia Records, beat Motura in the internal struggle of the record company and became one of the youngest self-made billionaires." The manager of the New York main station sighed again and again.

"You don't want to jump like the Washington guys to work for him, do you?" Pierre muttered angrily.

"Me? Haha, hehe, no, don't be so sensitive Pierre. ”

The manager laughed, "So should we talk to Russell Simmons next?" ”

"That idiot hasn't settled his own side yet......" replied Pierre Sutton with a lot of resentment, "but it can't be helped, call him, we need him now." ”
