Chapter 1108 I'm not mature enough
"Sega and NEC are not opposed, so VideoLogic will risk losing a large order with a 50% chance of refusing to merge the case, or even higher. It is different from 3DFX. Its display chip products do not have as many dazzling halos as Voodoo. Because the Big Sword Team formed by it and the NEC join the Sega Horse Racing Plan, the matter that it needs to be kept strictly confidential, and the market value can be maintained at the 80 million pounds level has been questioned by external investors who are unknown."
Before the suspension ended, Song Ya seized the time to negotiate with VideoLogic and asked both parties to issue a statement of intention at the same time. Later, the shareholders of both parties voted whether to agree to the plan to acquire VideoLogic with 3DFX shares exchange and cash. It is likely that they will be approved, and then the other processes will be completed after passing.
"Ha, I'm going to see O'Grady, the shorts broke out at the opening tomorrow. They don't have much time, right?"
Song Ya is in a good mood. The new wheelchair has arrived. It is the type of one with a control handle on the armrest that can drive the motor to run around by himself. Hawking has the same model, and there is also a headset and microphone on his head, so that Sloan always asks him to help hold his phone when making a phone call. "How much room for stock price to rise?"
"Following the confidentiality of the stock exchange and cash acquisition details, I guess it is very likely that it will not be possible. It is not a big problem to stabilize the stock price of 3DFX at 40. It depends on the reaction of investors and short parties. If short parties are eager to get enough stocks to close their positions, the stock price may soar. VideoLogic... the market value should rise to nearly 100 million pounds." O'Grady replied.
"Wow, it's better to make money by playing finance!"
The stock prices of 3DFX and VideoLogic rose and the short-selling revenue of VideoLogic earlier. After just woke up, the net worth soared again a few days later. Song Ya moved the handle slightly with his right hand, and the wheelchair turned flexibly.
"Dadly!" Little Robb rushed to the edge of his legs lively again. Little Jon was almost one year old, and crawled on the ground with a giggle.
"Good son, daddy has something to do."
Xue Linfen, who was taking care of them, came over and squatted down, kissed Song Ya, "Don't bother Daddy, let Daddy do it." Then he pulled Little Ropp away.
"Well, thank you for your hard work Xuelin."
Song Ya continued to play wheelchair drift at home while chatting with O'Grady.
"Is Ballard really not left?" O'Grady asked.
"I asked him to suppress those three scammers, but I feel that guy has been assimilated by them. You know, 3DFX is very popular in the field of display chips, and there are many opportunities to show her face. The three scammers especially like to run computer exhibitions and various technology activities. Ballard seems to be happy with it."
Song Ya replied: "But the demand for high-end graphics cards is a minority after all, and the noise is very big, and the actual profit is not much. The small shipment volume is not conducive to diluting the cost of chip manufacturing. Ballard has not yet established a relationship with big buyers. McLaurent is much better than him in this regard. With VideoLogic's outdated technology, NEC and Sega can be happy. If it weren't for me turning the tide, he would have actually defeated Ballard and got a big order for Sega's next generation game console."
"Ha ha!"
O'Grady smiled and asked again: "Besides Ballard, what do you have any ideas about the merger and reorganization of the two boards?"
"Scott, the CTO in the trio, can't move for the time being. No matter what, he will get Rose out first. He will give the bad ideas."
"Yeah, there's no big problem..."
The next day, the two companies' stocks resumed trading, and the stock prices of 3DFX and VideoLogic continued to rise as expected due to the positive news, but 3DFX did not soar as O'Grady predicted.
"What's the next important thing?" he asked Sloan at noon.
"You have to call Katherine of KM Pictures. She and the publisher Universal Pictures are almost crazy. They continue to show up at the premiere of Blade Warrior 20. Katherine said that the premiere can be put in Chicago, as long as you can be there."
Sloan replied, flipping through the notepad.
“OK…”
He didn't want to see too many friends and Forest for the sake of health. It was uncomfortable to frequently endure memories and fragments of apocalypse. Before he finished speaking, O'Grady called again.
“APLUS!”
His anxious tone came as an accident as soon as he heard it. "The British Competition Commission just issued a statement saying that 3DFX's acquisition of VideoLogic must be approved by the country's industrial strategic department!"
“What?”
Song Ya was also anxious, "Is there any possibility of not being approved?"
"Anyway, that's something that you have to worry about in the future. The current high 3DFX stock price will definitely be difficult to maintain." O'Grady replied: "Such bad news is really a blow!"
Sure enough, investors and institutions who still hold 3DFX stocks began to lose confidence. Under Song Ya's gaze, the stock price fell by 40 times. O'Grady also wanted to help Northern Trust's long positions find a way out. Soon, it hit 30 times, twenty-nine times, twenty-eight times, twenty-seven times...
A cold curve slipped in the Bloomberg machine, and encountered a large number of turnovers around the market value of 26, that is, 400 million yuan, and the short side should have escaped. VideoLogic was also falling.
“SHXT!”
Song Ya, who can only talk at the moment, is incompetent and furious.
"Someone is looking for you." Sloan answered the phone.
"who?"
"It should be Carl Icahn himself..."
"British Prime Minister Bellia, who took office last month, delivered a speech on 3DFX earlier, saying that the UK also needs to cultivate its own semiconductor and Internet leader. The local MP in Hertfordshire, where VideoLogic is located, also expressed concerns to the media on the day of the suspension. Have you noticed it? No? Look, boy, this is the problem. You can't just play finance and play with news and stare at the stock machine. You also need to understand and observe the international situation, local politics and even the will of the people..."
Carl Icahn's voice was very magnetic, and he did not introduce himself or say hello. He directly said in the tone of the elders who were earnestly induced to the younger generation: "We can't just focus on technology, we also need to learn to deal with people of all kinds, such as the media, and... how to influence a country's industrial policy."
"Haha, it sounds like you are very proud?" Song Ya frowned impatiently.
"You work hard, APLUS, wow, after waking up, regardless of your empty account, don't reconcile your old relationship with your lover, don't pay attention to the various businesses under your belt, dragging your sick body to Tokyo... You really tricked me, this is not like you described to me by some people. I do think you went there to see a doctor..."
Carl Icahn seemed to have drunk too much and said drunkenly: "But do you know? The smarter you are and the more you struggle, the more you are, the more you feel sad for you, just like a man who swam desperately towards the land in the vast sea. His great spirit of fighting against the wind and waves is moving and sympathetic, but unfortunately, there is only a mirage in front of him, and he will never set foot on land... until he drowns."
What the hell? It seems like what happened to me. How much should you lose if you close your position for twenty-six yuan? Although you may have used other means to get some blood back, Song Yabian heard the secret complaining in his heart and couldn't help but interrupt the other party and said, "Are you in a bad mood? Mr. Icahn, did you lose too much today? You just call to say nonsense!?"
"I admire you, just want to teach you some Wall Street experience for free Boy haha..." Carl Icahn replied.
"Then I'll pay back my money first. Today's is far from enough. You know what I mean."
"Ha, I don't remember that I raised funds for you, but I made this call today because I was very happy. Just now, I finally got the chairman of the board of directors of Marvel. At the meeting in the morning, they told me that they were looking forward to the upcoming movie Blade Warrior. That African-American superhero movie was invested and starred by you? Wow, keep working hard, Marvel needs you to continue to help my comic heroes open up the blockbuster market in the future..."
So that's it. After saying this, Carl Icahn finally completely defeated his old enemy Perelman. He drank a little wine happily and was confused. "I look forward to our continued cooperation." He said.
Provoking method? "I will try my best to support the Blade Warrior. This is my own business and you don't need to worry about it. But I also want to remind you Mr. Icahn that if you don't want to hand over Dilai, Goodman and others, you really shouldn't call this meaningless phone number. Because you know why?" Song Ya asked back.
"What?"
"I am a twenty-two-year-old young man, Mr. Icahn. I am not mature enough. I cannot be a rational person in the full economic sense." Song Ya threw out the answer.
"Wow, what do you want? Unconventional means, this is not wise. I am not a senior manager of Italians." Karl Icahn smiled.
"That won't be, but you'll see what I want to do soon!"
Song Ya tilted her head, letting the buttons on the headphones touch her shoulders, and skillfully hung up.
"Catherine wants to see me, so she is in Chicago? Yelemov must be there too?" he asked Sloan.
"right."
"Let him come to see me alone... Uh, you can find the original author of the cat and mouse game, the legendary liar Aba Gorne, call him, and I'll tell him."
The sarcastic and disgusting person is so sarcastic, "Let PGE's lawyer come here again."
"Mr. Abagoner? Can you do a favor? I want you to visit someone in prison and take the A+ movie studio... No, is it convenient for the people from Litman Publishing House to go with you? Please advise me..."
A few days later, PGE Law Firm officially filed an indictment to the local court in Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley, pointing out that former A+ Audio President and Ameriga Music Website President Dilai was suspected of illegal transactions, forged documents and unjust enrichment during the process of filing for bankruptcy protection and spin-off.
Litman Publishing House also announced that they had signed a publishing and film adaptation rights agreement with the king of junk stocks who had been imprisoned and down, and signed a memoir called "Wolf of Wall Street".
"Yes, it is likely that the filming will be started by A+ movie studio. With the successful experience of cat and mouse games, we are very confident in the autobiographical film project."
Yelemov replied to reporters.
"But does not the Wolf of Wall Street generally refer to Mr. Carl Icahn?" a reporter asked.
