"Karl Icahn is a very patient Wolf King on Wall Street. Some people have counted that before making big moves on the target company, he would do a detailed investigation and research and funding layout for about three years. Generally, he only plays traditional industry listed companies and financial companies, Coca-Cola, Texaco Petroleum, Global Airlines... and has a lot of work. In various senses, the attack on 3dfx obviously violates his habits."

O'Grady said: "It is very likely that Goodman and Hamlin privately disclosed a lot of internal information about 3dfx companies to him, which led to him being confident that he would accelerate his attack on an emerging technology company that had just been listed. If you didn't wake up suddenly, he would probably do idle money like we did with videologi, and then launch malicious mergers and acquisitions or strongly plunder the management rights of 3dfx companies after the stock is lifted."

"Um."

Song Ya nodded. On the day she woke up, 3dfx's stock price was at a low of more than seven yuan, with a market value of only 1.20 million yuan, which was seriously undervalued. But now, the market value of 40 yuan per share is obviously overvalued again. Carl Icahn has the company information sold by Goodman, and it is impossible for him not to know this.

If he wants to be worthy of this stock price, he has to tell a good story in a short time, and there is more than one good story, a true story that can stand the test of the magnifying glass of the capital market.

“Is it more difficult than lobbying on Capitol Hill?”

At this time, Sloan walked in and he joked with the other party.

“It’s much simpler.”

Sloan replied with a smile: "I just talked with the director representative of videologi, and the results were very good. After joining the Sakichiro and reconciling with us, they believed that they had been betrayed by Sega and their confidence in the company's future was even less. Most of them did not conflict with the merger and acquisition, and the difference was only about whether the price was reasonable or not."

Seriously speaking, videologi is not considered a US company. The R&D studio is in Silicon Valley. The founder McLaurent and EO are British and are also listed on the London Exchange. The current market value has rebounded to 80 million pounds after Song Ya's fundraising ends. Based on one pound to 1.64 meters, the market value is 1.32 billion meter knife, which is approximately the same as the 3dfx before being violently pulled up.

But in just a few days, everything was different. Since 3dfx could not take out enough cash, the stock exchange would inevitably take the lead in the merger and acquisition. The merger and acquisition should be based on the current high of 3dfx of 6.20 million. It is logical that they would not agree.

But just as Carl Icahn saw through the temperament of the management and board of directors of listed companies, Song Ya and his helpers can now understand the psychology of videologi board members. Many times, their personal interests are not consistent with the interests of the company's shareholders. He asked Sloan to fight for them one by one, and the technical backbone, management, employee directors and independent directors promised new company options, high salaries and broader career prospects. The director representatives sent by shareholders are probably similar. These people will also be tempted and do not always speak for the interests of the shareholders behind them.

"I can't lobby everyone, but with the voting rights of your shares, I expect to be approved by half of the board of directors, just to make the merger and acquisition plan look a little more reasonable."

Sloan, who worked back to his old business, reported: "There are only two hidden dangers now, the company's founder McLaurent, and the director representative of Ne Company."

Ne only owns 2.3% of the shares of videologi, but because the two companies need to unite to enter Sega's new generation of game console procurement plans, they also have a director.

"Mr. McLaurent."

When McLaurent, the founder of videologi, entered the door, Song Ya was hanging on the rehabilitation equipment, and was held by a professional rehabilitationist, and his feet were soft and slow running, strolling hard.

The two looked at each other. Most of the founders of the companies that entered the IT industry in the 1980s were technically powerful and had an idealistic personality. McLaurent probably did the same, but he has been away from the front-line position for nearly ten years and actually has not many shares in the company.

"Wow, you look in good shape, aps."

A few days later, McLaurent, who was "betrayed" by Sega and was raided by Song Ya for shorting and board of directors, maintained his British demeanor. The forty-year-old white man smiled and greeted.

"Thank you, I really feel like I'm getting better every day. Uh..."

Song Ya said: "Mr. McLaurent, I'm straight to the point. I don't hide it. I hope to handle this merger and acquisition as quickly as possible. This is a good thing for both of you and me. After the merger, we can get Sega's purchases steadily, and our technology is also good complementary. There are too many chip startups on the market now, but according to the experience of other industries, I think we will only survive a small number of large companies in the future. We are not big or strong enough at present."

"Now the 3dfx stock price is out of irrational time," McLaren replied: "We have other options, such as Ati, Ne and some graphics card manufacturers who want to develop upstream of the industry... Even if I don't trade, my company can survive."

"I know, I'll let them get a more reasonable price."

Song Ya did not respond to the other party's threat and continued to persuade: "Actually, you don't have to regard this as 3dfx's acquisition of videologi. You can look at this matter in reverse. I plan to let you continue to serve as eO in the new company, so it's not a bad idea to say that videologi takes 3dfx."

"Oh?" McLaurent raised his eyebrows, "Now Mr. Ballard..."

"He opposes this merger, so if you agree, eO is yours. 3dfx has the most sought after 3D display chip technology in the world. Your videologi's PowerVR generation has received bad reviews after it was launched, and 2d chips have lagged behind other competitors."

McLaurent was a little moved but still said goodbye without complaining. The next one was the director representative of Ne. Song Ya reiterated that she would hand over the customized version of Voodoo2 chips supplied to Sega to Ne manufacturing, and other chip foundry orders will be decided after the cooperation between the two parties.

"Mr. Akiichiro Iriko wants to talk to you."

For ne, the merger of 3dfx and videologi is equivalent to eliminating a competitor and minimizing the uncertainty of sega orders, which is of course a good thing. However, the operating logic of the subsidiary company is not that simple. Due to the existence of large chaebols behind it, they have boundaries between each other, and sometimes the interests of the company are not the first consideration.

"aps, I just agreed to the settlement and did not allow you to do these small moves after returning to the United States!"

Izuki Akichiro was very unhappy. He should think that it was precisely because of his soft heart that the domino effect in the United States was caused. The more fierce the competition among suppliers, the more in line with Sega's interests. If 3dfx and videologi merged successfully, it would be equivalent to disbanding the display chip dispute of the horse racing plan. "Did you forget, how did you ask me in Tokyo?"

"I think the merger between us and videologi will provide Sega with a stronger display chip in the future, which is a good thing."

Song Ya smiled and replied: "Actually, I forgot to tell you in Tokyo that your company's competition model for suppliers is too unreasonable. Our 3dfx products and videologi have obvious advantages and disadvantages. If we don't cooperate, we can't make up for it in a short time. In the end, Sega can only get an imperfect display chip. 3dfx 90, videologi 70, even if you choose 3dfx, you will only get 90. What if it is 3dfx plus videologi? Haha, then it will be at least full marks... Besides, we can enter more in-depth collaborative development earlier, and we can also bring out more stable chips for your company's next generation game console faster..."

"Good mouth and smooth tongue!"

Izuki Akichiro interrupted even more angrily.

"Don't do this, I've read the financial newspapers in your country. Everyone praises you for your tolerance and whipping towards us, right? You don't want to see Sega quarrel with 3dfx again, right?"

"asshole!"

If 3dfx returns to the United States and continues to fight, it will be too embarrassing for him who has just been praised by the media. He is so angry that he is angry that he smashes the microphone and flicks his tongue.

At the same time, in a five-star hotel in Chicago, Amy Adams looked at Song Ya who was crying miserably at the reporter at the entrance of Highland Park in the TV. She complained to her agent Hayden while circling around the room: "Isn't his physical condition okay now? Why don't you want to see me?"

"He's not energetic now," Hayden advised, "You have to understand, Amy."

"He even has the energy to see the manager of Combat!" Amy said as she spoke, her big eyes turned red with grievance.

"That's business, he needs to get his money back."

Hayden looked puzzled, "Look, Halle Berry and Ms. Catherine next door have been waiting for him for several days. The Blade Warrior is about to start painting. The heroine and the producer have been waiting for it until now. Isn't it difficult to meet him?"

“Talk about this.”

Amy was even more dissatisfied, "Not for Harley, why is Donny Blaiseton also there? She still cries all day long. Are you so sad about APS? I haven't heard that they have an affair..."

"She? Oh, you're thinking too much. Donnie seems to be about to go bankrupt because of random investment, so now she cries into tears every day." Hayden smiled.

"But she is already diva!"

Amy was surprised, "Singers earn much more than we do!"

"That's the reason, but who knows how she spends money... In short, this matter has nothing to do with us, so don't ask too much to prevent it from irritating her."

"Halley, I'm so miserable..."

Next door, Donnie Blyston was indeed wiping tears at Halle, "It's all your fault. I'm encouraged me to buy Netview stocks, now it's okay!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Harley hurried away, "I just kindly told you that Netscape will rise, and who asked your manager to help you with leverage and futures."

"Good intentions!? You Bichi, has it been rising? Hum?"

The investment sisterly relationship is no longer there, Donnie Blaston angrily rebuked: "You were the same as the real one at that time. I said to give me some inside information. At that time, the net scene was 100 yuan! What about now!?"

"Well……"

"No matter, you have to let aps give me an explanation this time! Woo woo woo woo..."

"No, no!"

Harley was so scared that she came over to coax her again, "I was eavesdropping, and I was eavesdropping on him talking about Netscape! Who knew he would be shot... Didn't I lose money too?"

"Then why didn't you go bankrupt with me??"

“…”

Harley was speechless and silently heard Donnie muttering something like "a hundred yuan cost, bankruptcy, and being ridiculed by the whole world". She pouted and rolled her eyes.

"Is it you? aps."

Song Ya just agreed to Ne's agreement to increase his holdings for the new company after the merger, and received a call from Jim Clark. The other party asked him without any hesitation when he came up, and he was too lazy to care about the patients who had just woken up.

"What am I? Jim." Song Ya pretended to be stupid.

"The stock price of partners such as Seek fell sharply a few days ago." Jim Clark replied: "Are you selling? Tell the truth, don't lie to me, I know you signed the old Gates law firm after you woke up."

"I sold a little, but that's because I need cash. I think you have read the news reports, and on my account..." Song Ya answered half true and half false.

Jim Clark is not easy to fool, "I won't talk about this anymore. Our Netscape stock agreement ban period ends at the beginning of next month. I need you to sign another one, and the time will be shorter."

There was no negative news on the day when the stocks sold, and Netjing finally pulled the stock price back to the head of the eight characters, and for no reason was brought back by the linkage.

"I don't have the energy to take care of those things now, Jim, I still spend most of my time in a sleepy day..." Song Yacai couldn't continue to agree to this condition.

"Sleeping? Are you busy manipulating the 3dfx stock price now?"

Jim Clark exposes, "Even the British in videologi have traveled to the United States to see you... Are you holding a board meeting with me in a dream!?"

"I'm working hard, OK? Jim, I'll just say it. After the ban is lifted, I will take some of Netscape stocks. I need money everywhere now."

Song Ya interrupted him in turn, "Or will you introduce me to an institution then? If you don't want to see Netscape's stock price plummeting that day."

"You chose it yourself?" Jim Clark threatened: "Don't forget who brought you so much money."

It's coming again, "I'm so good, it's not easy for me to stick to it until now, alas! I have six bullet holes on my body, my neck, back, legs, and bullets in my butt for nine hours before I was removed. The gun on my neck almost broke the major artery. I was in a coma for five months Jim..."

Just as he was complaining, Jim Clark had hung up the phone.

"That boy is completely awake."
