Yu Dong looked at Jimmy, smiled and asked, "Are you nervous now?"
Jimmy smiled nonchalantly and said, "Isn't it just getting married? There's nothing to be nervous about."
"Is it?"
Jimmy exhaled slightly, "Okay, I admit, I am indeed a little nervous."
"Are you sure it's just one point?"
"Maybe I'm a little more nervous than when I held the first deep space annual conference."
"I'm telling you, Yu Hua and the others are already ready. When you go to Luoyuan to welcome your bride tomorrow, it won't be so easy to get in," Yu Dong said with a smile.
Jimmy touched his forehead and shouted: "Why are these guys joining in the fun... How are they going to stop me? Have you heard the news?"
"No." Yu Dong shook his head, "Even if I find out, I won't tell you."
"Are you not from my side?"
"Don't forget, I am Ouyang Tiantian's mother-in-law, and of course I am not the same as you... But brothers, after so many years, I can reveal some news to you. I heard Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu say the other day that they were going to
Shi Tiesheng put it behind the door to block it."
Jimmy was stunned, "Poison!"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "It's a common trick."
"I know it's a common trick. I've also read "Cucumber Garden Essays". How about... I invite a few of them to play cards tonight and pretend to lose to them? Or should I strike first and find a few people to kill them tomorrow morning?
Tie them up."
Yu Dong nodded and said, "I think the second option is reliable, or I can give you an idea."
"What's the idea?" Jimmy approached Yu Dong very seriously.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "The so-called holding the emperor hostage to command the princes, you will find someone to arrest Feng Changdi, Yu Haiguo and the others tomorrow. With the hostages in hand, are you afraid that Yu Hua and the others will make things difficult for you?"
Jimmy nodded seriously and said, "That's very reasonable. How about I leave this task to you?"
"What are you thinking about? It's good if I don't block the door tomorrow."
Jimmy twitched his lips, "You're still unreliable... By the way, didn't you say you wanted to give us a wedding gift? Do you want to wait until tomorrow to give it to us?"
Hearing Jimmy's words, Yu Dong slapped his head and said with a smile, "I almost forgot about this. Let's go to my office. The gift is in my office."
"What kind of gift is it? I have to go upstairs to get it. Is it really powerful? Is it worth my while to run up there?"
"You'll know if it's serious or not." Yu Dong smiled and took a step forward.
"Hey, wait for me." Jimmy quickly followed.
…
When he arrived at Yu Dong's office, Yu Dong took out a document from the safe. This safe was put in after the Deep Space Building was built. It was specifically for Yu Dong to put some more important things. However, these safes have basically been
It is rarely used, ordinary things will not be put in it, and things that are too important will not be put in it.
Jimmy said with a smile, "You didn't put it in the safe on purpose just to show how powerful it was. What kind of document is this?"
"Take a look." Yu Dong handed the document to Jimmy's hand.
Jimmy took the document and first saw the cover of the document. He looked up at Yu Dong in surprise.
"Keep reading." Yu Dong said with a smile.
Jimmy withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the documents in his hand.
This document was quite long, and it was all in English, but the core content was basically in just two pages. It only took Jimmy five or six minutes to read it.
After reading it, Jimmy looked at Yu Dong again, "You didn't forge this to trick me, right?"
"You can check the content here at any time. Every word in it is true. In fact, I was planning to tell you about this before, but it took too long, so I simply gave it as a wedding gift.
you."
"But, I don't understand why you can do this?"
"Maybe I have better luck."
Luck... Jimmy shook his head helplessly. If he talked about luck, Yu Dong's luck over the years was also very good, and he was always able to seize the best opportunities.
The document in his hand is an equity allocation document about 3dfx company.
3dfx is a high-tech company that specializes in the development and production of graphics cards and 3D chips. It has not been established for a long time, only eight years. However, during these eight years, the company has developed very rapidly. Their products have always been at the top level in the industry over the years. They
There is also a very well-known dedicated application interface, glide, which gave birth to games such as Need for Speed ​​and Phantom of the Tomb.
But just the year before last, 3dfx had a lawsuit with Nvidia. At first I heard that the lawsuit was very detrimental to 3dfx, but later 3dfx turned the corner and successfully escaped the lawsuit.
The industry was quite concerned about this matter at the time, but later Nvidia withdrew the lawsuit and neither party said why. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Yu Dong told him that he had bought 3dfx.
"How much did it cost you?"
"The whole process cost a total of 200 million U.S. dollars from beginning to end, but only 120 million U.S. dollars were actually used to purchase the company," Yu Dong said.
Jimmy asked curiously, "What are the other 80 million used for?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "The other 80 million is to help 3dfx settle their relationship with Nvidia."
Jimmy frowned, "It's actually okay to win 3dfx for 200 million, but 3dfx doesn't seem worth buying now. They have no advantage in competing with other manufacturers such as Nvidia. The main reason is that they have made frequent mistakes and waste in the past two years."
A great advantage.”
Yu Dong nodded. Jimmy was right. 3dfx had indeed made frequent mistakes in recent years. Otherwise, it would not have ended up in such a situation. Such a big company was taken down for 120 million U.S. dollars. Even Jimmy
He also said it was not worth it.
In fact, whether it is worth it or not mainly depends on what they want to get from this company.
If Yu Dong and others want to buy the company, and then let the company develop on its own and become the industry leader again, this is obviously unrealistic. According to the current situation of 3dfx, it will be good if they can not be squeezed out by Nvidia and other companies.
.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! 3dfx’s first decision-making mistake was that they did not launch cost-competitive single-chip products in a timely manner. Seeing more 3D games coming on the market, the market needs more
Although there are many low-cost products, 3dfx still insists on the multi-chip structure that is not cheap, wasting their advantage of strong software compatibility.
Second, 2dfx spent too much manpower, material and financial resources on home game consoles. They tried to cooperate with Sega and Microsoft, wasting time on research and development and ultimately achieved nothing. Later, they went to court with Sega and even spent nearly 200 million US dollars on this matter.
The acquisition of gigapixel almost caused them to fail in the subsequent lawsuit with Nvidia.
The profits of home game consoles are not high. They are cash cows with a long flow of water. They have no idea that they spend so much money to compete for the market.
The third point, and the most difficult to understand, is that 3dfx actually spent 1.4 billion US dollars to acquire STB. They originally wanted to take away Nvidia's largest customer, but once this move came out, other independent companies
Board card manufacturers have stopped working, and they have turned to Nvidia and ATI.
This move of 3dfx is really puzzling, after all, it makes itself a competitor of its own customers.
BenQ Dentsu has done the same thing. Originally they were OEMs for various mobile phone manufacturers, and these OEMs were their customers. But then BenQ Dentsu established BenQ Mobile and started making mobile phones themselves, and then turned to Motorola and others.
Manufacturer's competitors.
But for the same thing, if BenQ Dentsu does it, it will be fine, but if 3dfx does it, there will be big problems. That's because the situations between the two are very different.
There is no obvious advantage in the technology of 3dfx. Those manufacturers do not have to buy their products, there are many other options, and they did not gain much advantage in board manufacturing after combining with STB. If STB's boards performed very well at that time,
Well, it actually doesn't matter if we can win more markets. The worst thing is that the business will be transferred.
As for BenQ Dentsu, their OEM production line was not intended to be left to other manufacturers, but was intended to be used by themselves, so they did not care whether other manufacturers would cooperate with them. Furthermore, BenQ Mobile's products later became the main product of BenQ mobile phone market.
Good performance.
"Whether 2dfx is worth 200 million or not, that depends on you. You have to pay more attention to the development of this company in the future."
Jimmy sighed slightly, "The entire acquisition has not been completed yet. The entire acquisition process has to be completed later. 3dfx currently has a lot of debt, and there may be some trouble in the future. My idea is to set up a new company, 3dfx's technology and patents
If everything is transferred to the new company, the subsequent debt issues will be easier to deal with."
"No problem, you can figure it out. Anyway, the company owns half of your shares."
Jimmy shook his head and sighed, "Now I don't know whether this gift is good or bad. To say it is bad, it is worth 100 million US dollars. How many people can be crazy about this money, but to say it is good,
I feel that I may have to spend a lot of time and energy on this company in the future. Once the acquisition process is completed, companies such as Nvidia, AIT and AMD will focus on us. It will not be easy to break through in this industry."
"Then it's up to you."
Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I accept your gift. As for how to run it, I'll talk about it after I get married."
…
Early the next morning, a large number of guests gathered in Luoyuan, including celebrities from the literary and artistic circles, business circles, sports circles, and all walks of life. From the inside to the outside of Luoyuan, red silk and satin were hung everywhere, and red silk paving was laid everywhere. blanket, every corner is full of festive atmosphere.
About ten o'clock, when Yu Dong was chatting with Zhang Yimou and others, he suddenly heard a loud sound.
"Report——"
Yu Dong and the others turned around to look, and saw Yu Haiguo running towards this side with a bunch of children. When he arrived in front of Yu Dong, he clasped his fists and said, "Go back to my lord, the enemy is less than three miles away from our camp. It is predicted that the enemy will be three miles away." You can get there in minutes.”
The other children also followed Yu Haiguo's example and followed Yu Haiguo's example.
All the adults saw it interestingly and laughed.
Yu Dongxu raised his hand and said, "Since the enemy army is approaching, why don't you quickly join up with your father?"
"My subordinates have orders."
After saying that, Yu Haiguo waved to the children behind him, "Soldiers, follow me to join the army."
The young soldiers responded one after another, "Yes, General."
When Yu Haiguo and the others entered the courtyard, Yu Dong and the others also looked towards the way they came.
There are very few buildings near Luoyuan. You can see the convoy coming from a long distance. Now you can indeed vaguely see the convoy coming. The distance is farther than Yu Haiguo and the others said. It is estimated to be four or five miles away.
Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Just these four or five miles will probably take less than ten minutes."
Yu Dong smiled and nodded: "If you can come here in ten minutes, everyone is showing mercy."
There were many guests at the scene today. Yu Dong and the others would definitely not stop the car, but there were always some who liked to join in the fun. Qu Aiguo had already led people to block them at the entrance of the village. It was estimated that the two sides would meet soon.
In addition to troublemaking boys like Qu Aiguo, there are also nearby villagers. Everyone nearby knows that there is a happy event in Luoyuan, so they all come to enjoy the happiness.
Yu Dong was right. It took Jimmy and the others more than thirty minutes to complete the four to five miles.
When the car stopped at the gate of Luoyuan, Jimmy got out of the car. Yu Dong was about to go up and say a few words to Jimmy, but he saw Jimmy suddenly waved, and two men in black walked up behind him.
The two men in black each held a black gun and fired two shots into the sky.
Of course, the gun is not a real gun. What comes out of the barrel is not a bullet, but a small red envelope.
As soon as they saw the rain of red envelopes, many guests raised their heads and opened their hands to receive them. Some of the red envelopes fell to the ground, and they leaned over to pick them up.
The red envelope didn't contain much money at first glance. The guests who came to the scene today would also care about this little money, but it can be said that it is natural to grab the red envelope when you see it. Even Yu Dong subconsciously wanted to grab the red envelope.
Most of the people at the scene were in the rain of red envelopes. Taking advantage of this gap, Jimmy rushed into the yard with a few people.
Entering the yard, whenever you see someone in front, the man in black behind you will shoot him and shower him with red envelopes.
Just like this, he shot and ran all the way. Jimmy ran to the small building where he and Britney lived very smoothly. However, the small building was closed at the moment, so it was difficult for his red envelope rain to work.
Yu Dong trotted behind him for a while, and finally caught up with Jimmy, "You guys run so fast."
Jimmy smiled and said, "I'm here to pick up my wife, can you please hurry up?"
Yu Dong looked at the red envelope gun in the hand of the man in black, "When did you prepare this thing? Why didn't I know?"
"You are not on my side, can I reveal information to you?" Jimmy looked up to the second floor downstairs and shouted, "Honey, I'm here to take you home."
The window on the second floor opened, Fu Jing poked her head out and said with a smile, "We haven't gone through the door yet. We can't call my wife. If I want to take Tiantian away, I have to ask my mother-in-law's permission."
Jimmy jumped around anxiously and shouted: "Teacher Fu, open the door and I will give you a big red envelope. In addition to the red envelope, I can also tell you a secret about Teacher Bi."
