Chapter 764 (1/2)

On August 24, 1995, whatever you like's announcement came to a temporary end. The song was dragged down by negative news such as attempted suicide of fans and dissatisfaction of some mainstream media. Waterfalls, a powerful single of TLC group, was suppressed to the second place in B list. It failed to reach the top of the list the second week after its release, but the single sales volume was very high.

In the conference room of Netscape company, song Ya leaned on the back of his chair and snored.

As he was about to go back to Chicago for school, the publicity intensity this time was the highest since he started his career. He had to go on the road, run announcements, go on talk shows, fan meetings, live performances, and sometimes news appeared on various media. He only slept three or four hours a day, which was really tiring.

Some Netscape executives who came to the meeting did not disturb him at the reminder of Dr. Chen and sat down in silence.

”What's the matter with you, aplus, I just saw you on TV singing live in downtown San Francisco.”

It wasn't until Netscape president Baxter and Mark Anderson walked into the meeting room that Dr. Chen woke him up. Baxter asked, ”in fact, you don't have to be there in person today.”

”I'm here to talk to Jim.”

Song Ya yawned, ”what about others?”

”He will come, but later, to watch Microsoft's windows 95 launch with us.” Barkstead replied.

Jim Clark's fortune has exceeded one billion, and he is gradually withdrawing from Netscape's management line and starting to focus on new venture capital projects.

”OK, I'll wait for him.”

Song Ya came here. First, he was on the way. Second, he was worried about 3dfx's next round of financing. He needed to ask Jim Clark for advice.

According to Dr. Chen and Dr. Mei, 3dfx's 3dapiglide has been recognized by many game companies. The accelerated chip is compatible with the current mainstream open graphics library of D3D and opelgl. In addition, he has just achieved success in Netscape, and there are many people who are interested in it.

However, there is a problem at present. Microsoft will attach a similar API called Windows games SDK, or directx1.0, to his windows 95, which is supported by Microsoft's operating system. In addition, Bill Gates has been making friends with John camark, the founder of id software company and a gifted game engine programmer. Camark has also given a very friendly response. The investors began to dither again.

D3D is Microsoft's own and opelgl is led by SGI, a company founded by Jim Clark.

3dfx can't afford to pay the follow-up fees to the chip manufacturer. If it doesn't solve the financing problem immediately, the company will soon be finished once the capital chain for the production of 3D accelerated chips of ES version in October breaks down.

”The Netscape and 3dfx projects I'm currently involved in are competing with Microsoft, which is really a headache.”

Now I'm not in the mood to scold the three cheaters of 3dfx. When Jim Karak arrives, Sonya will find time to complain with him alone.

”This is what they are doing. They are trying to reduce the dimension of their competitors with their high market share of operating systems, so I am determined to overthrow them.”

Jim Clark hated Microsoft deeply. ”If it's just for this matter, I'll let SGI deepen the cooperation with 3dfx, and then help to back the endorsement. But you know, some of the three guys in 3dfx went out from SGI, and they didn't keep their mouths shut, and the management company was not good at it. You have to find professional managers to take charge of their daily management, just like buckstead on Netscape, Otherwise, 3dfx will go bankrupt sooner or later. ”

”Well, you still don't vote?”

Song Yaxin said that it's best to bring this big guy in. Once he joins, those hesitant investors will definitely grab the head, ”I can let 3dfx give you the most favorable financing conditions.”

”I don't care. I'm only interested in Internet companies now.” Jim Carrack won't throw.

”A new goal? Then take me with you! ” Song Ya seized the opportunity.

”Er Yes, let your doctor Chen talk to my people Jim Clark didn't mean to yell at him this time.

”The press conference is about to start.”

At this time, Baxter came to remind them that they went back to the conference room and watched the Microsoft conference with the others.
