Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Yu Dong looked at Jimmy and asked with a smile, "Are you nervous now?"

Jimmy smiled indifferently, "Isn't it just a marriage, so there's nothing to be nervous about."

"Is it?"

Jimmy breathed a little, "Well, I admit, I was a little nervous."

"Are you sure there is only one point?"

"It may be a little more nervous than when the deep space annual meeting was held for the first time."

"Let me tell you, Yu Hua and the others are already ready. When you go to Luoyuan to welcome your relatives tomorrow, it won't be that easy to get in." Yu Dong laughed.

Jimmy touched his forehead and shouted, "What are they doing to join in the fun... How are they going to stop me? Have you heard the news?"

"No." Yu Dong shook his head, "Even if I found out, I wouldn't tell you."

"Aren't you on my side?"

"Don't forget, I'm Ouyang Tiantian's natal family, and of course I'm not on the same side as you... But brothers for so many years, I can tell you a little news. I heard Yu Hua tell Bi Feiyu the other day that they were going to send Shi Tiesheng put it behind the door to block it."

Jimmy was dumbfounded, "Poison wow!"

Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's a usual trick."

"I know it's a common trick. I've also read "Cucumber Garden Essays". How about... invite them to play cards tonight and pretend to lose to them? Or should I act first and find a few people to take them out tomorrow morning tied up."

Yu Dong nodded and said, "I think the second plan is reliable, or, let me give you an idea."

"What idea?" Jimmy approached Yu Dong very seriously.

Yu Dong said with a smile, "The so-called coercing the emperor to order the princes, you will find someone to arrest Feng Changdi and Yu Haiguo tomorrow. With the hostages in hand, are you afraid that Yu Hua and the others will make things difficult for you?"

Jimmy nodded seriously, "That's very reasonable, why don't I leave this task to you?"

"What are you thinking? I'll be fine if I don't block the door tomorrow."

Jimmy twitched the corners of his mouth, "You're still unreliable... By the way, didn't you say you were going to give us a wedding gift? Don't tell me you won't give it to us until tomorrow?"

Hearing Jimmy's words, Yu Dong patted his head and said with a smile, "I almost forgot about it, let's go, go to my office, the gift is in my office."

"What gift, you have to go upstairs to get it. Is it really worth it for me to go up there?"

"Whether it's serious or not, you'll know when you see it." Yu Dong smiled, and took a step forward.

"Oh, wait for me." Jimmy hurriedly 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 specially for Yu Dong to store some important things, but these years basically It is seldom 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, "Didn't you deliberately put this thing in the safe to make it look powerful? What kind of document is this?"

"Look at it." Yu Dong handed the document to Jimmy.

Jimmy took the document, first saw the cover of the document, he looked up at Yu Dong in surprise.

"Continue to look down." Yu Dong said with a smile.

Jimmy withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the document in his hand.

This document is quite long, and it is all in English, but the core content is basically within two pages, and it took Jimmy only five or six minutes to read it.

After reading it, Jimmy looked at Yu Dong again, "You didn't fake this to deceive me, did you?"

"You can check the content here at any time. Every word in it is true. In fact, I was going 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 are you able to do this?"

"Maybe I'm lucky."

Luck... Jimmy shook his head helplessly. If we talk about luck, then Yu Dong's luck for so many years is a bit too good. He can always seize the best opportunities.

The document in his hand is a share distribution document, about 3dfx company.

3dfx is a high-tech company specializing in R&D and production of graphics cards and 3D chips. It has only been established for eight years, but in the past eight years, the company has developed very rapidly. Their products have always been at the top level in the industry. There's also a very well-known dedicated API called Glide, which has spawned games like Need for Speed ​​and Phantom of the Tomb.

But just the year before last, 3dfx fought a lawsuit with Nvidia. At first, I heard that the lawsuit was very unfavorable to 3dfx, but later 3dfx managed to escape 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, after turning around, Yu Dong told him that he had already bought 3dfx.

"How much did you spend?"

"The whole process cost a total of 2000 million U.S. dollars from start to finish, but only [-] million U.S. dollars was actually used to purchase the company." Yu Dong said.

Jimmy asked curiously, "Then what are the other 8000 million used for?"

Yu Dong said with a smile, "The other 8000 million is to help 3dfx balance their relationship with Nvidia."

Jimmy frowned, "It's actually okay to win 3dfx for 3 million, but [-]dfx seems not worth buying now. They have no advantage in competing with other manufacturers such as Nvidia. The main reason is that they have frequently made mistakes in the past two years and wasted great advantage."

Yu Dong nodded. Jimmy was right. In recent years, 3dfx has been tricked frequently. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a big company to be taken down for 2000 million US dollars. Not worth it.

In fact, whether it is worth it or not depends mainly on what they want from this company.

If Yu Dong and the others want to buy the company and let the company develop on its own and become the leader in the industry again, this is obviously unrealistic. According to the current situation of 3dfx, it is not bad if they can not be crushed by companies such as Nvidia up.

3dfx’s first decision-making mistake was that they did not launch cost-competitive single-chip products in time. Seeing more 3D games coming out one after another, the market needs more low-cost products, but 3dfx still insisted on the multi-chip structure that is not cheap , wasting their advantages of strong software compatibility.

Second, 2dfx has spent too much manpower, material and financial resources on home game consoles. They tried to cooperate with Sega and Microsoft successively, wasted time on research and development, and finally got nothing. Later, they went to court with Sega and even spent nearly [-] million US dollars on this matter. The acquisition of gigapixel made them almost fail in the follow-up lawsuit with Nvidia.

The profits of home game consoles are not high, and they belong to cash cows with a steady flow of water. They have no idea that they spend such a high price to compete for the market.

The third point, and the most incomprehensible point, is that 3dfx actually spent [-] million US dollars to acquire stb. They originally wanted to snatch Nvidia's largest customer, but once this move was made, other independent Manufacturers of boards and cards quit, and turned to Nvidia and ati one after another.

3dfx's move is really puzzling, after all, it is tantamount to making itself a competitor of its own customers.

BenQ Dentsu has done the same thing. Originally they were foundries of various mobile phone manufacturers, and these foundries were their customers. But later BenQ Dentsu established BenQ Mobile and began to make mobile phones by itself, and then turned into Motorola and others. manufacturer's competitors.

But the same thing, BenQ Dentsu will be fine, but 3dfx will have a big problem, because the situation of the two is very different.

3dfx has no obvious advantages in technology. Those manufacturers don’t necessarily have to buy their products, and there are many other options. Moreover, they did not gain much advantage in board manufacturing after combining with stb. If the performance of stb’s boards was very good Well, it doesn't matter if you can win more markets, the big deal is business transfer.

As for BenQ Dentsu, their foundry production lines were not intended to be left to other manufacturers, but to be used by themselves, so they didn’t care whether other manufacturers cooperated with them or not. Good performance.

"Whether 2dfx is worth [-] million or not depends on you. You should pay more attention to the development of this company in the future."

Jimmy sighed slightly, "Now the entire acquisition has not been completed, and the entire acquisition process will be completed later. 3dfx has a lot of debts, and there may be some troubles in the future. My idea is to establish a new company, 3dfx technology and patents All of them will be transferred to the new company, and these subsequent debt issues will be handled easily.”

"No problem, you can figure it out, anyway, the company has half of your shares."

Jimmy shook his head and sighed, "Now I don't know whether this gift is good or bad. Let's say it's bad, it's worth [-] million U.S. dollars, how many people will be crazy about this money, but if it's 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 follow us, and it will not be easy to break out of this industry."

"That's up to you."

Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I accept your gift. As for how to manage it, let's talk about it after I get married."

……

In the early morning of the next day, a large number of guests gathered in Luoyuan, including celebrities from the literary and art circles, business circles, sports circles, and all walks of life.From the inside to the outside of Luoyuan, red silk is hung everywhere, red carpets are spread everywhere, and every corner is full of festive atmosphere.

At about ten o'clock, when Yu Dong was chatting with Zhang Yimou and the others, he suddenly heard a loud voice.

"Report-"

Yu Dong and the others turned their heads and saw Yu Haiguo running towards this side with a bunch of children. When he came to Yu Dong, he cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the enemy is less than three miles away from our camp. Predict 3 Be there in minutes."

The other children followed Yu Haiguo's lead and followed suit.

All the grown-ups were amusing and laughed.

Yu Dongxu raised his hand, "Since the enemy army is approaching, why don't you join your father and commander soon."

"Subordinate to order."

After finishing speaking, Yu Haiguo waved to the children behind him, "Soldiers, join me with 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 at the way they had come.

There are few buildings near Luoyuan, and the convoy can be seen from a long distance. This will indeed vaguely see the convoy approaching, and the distance is farther than what Yu Haiguo and the others said. It is estimated to be four or five miles away.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile, "Only the four or five miles, it is estimated that there is no more than ten minutes that I will not be able to pass."

Yu Dong smiled and nodded: "If you can come here in ten minutes, it's considered that everyone is merciful."

There are a lot of guests at the scene today, Yu Dong and the others will definitely not stop the car, but there are always some who like to join in the fun, Qu Aiguo has already brought people to the village entrance to block them, it is estimated that the two sides will meet soon.

In addition to Qu Aiguo and other troublemakers, there are also nearby villagers. They all know that there is a wedding going on in Luoyuan, so they all come to rejoice.

Yu Dong was right, it took Jimmy and the others more than 30 minutes to complete the four or 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 talk to Jimmy, but Jimmy suddenly waved, and two men in black came up behind him.

Each of the two men in black held a black gun and fired two shots into the sky.

Of course the gun was not a real gun, and what came out of the gun barrel were not bullets, but those little red envelopes.

Seeing the rain of red envelopes, many guests raised their heads and opened their hands to pick them up. Some red envelopes fell to the ground, and they bent over to pick them up.

There was not much money in the red envelope 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 they see it. Even Yu Dong subconsciously wants 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, as long as you see someone in front along the way, the man in black behind will shoot you and rain a wave of red envelopes.

Just like this, shooting and running all the way, Jimmy ran to the small building where he and Britney lived, but now the small building is closed, and his red envelope rain is hard to work.

Yu Dong trotted after him for a while, and finally caught up with Jimmy, "You run so fast."

Jimmy smiled and said, "I'm here to pick up my wife, can you hurry up?"

Yu Dong looked at the red envelope gun in the man in black's hand, "When did you prepare this thing? Why didn't I know?"

"You're not on my side, can I tell you the information?" Jimmy looked up to the second floor downstairs and shouted, "Honey, I'm here to pick you up."

The window on the second floor was pushed open, and Fu Jing poked her head out from inside, and said with a smile, "I haven't passed the door yet, so I can't call my wife. If I want to pick up Tiantian, I have to ask my mother's family if I agree."

Jimmy jumped up anxiously and shouted, "Teacher Fu, open the door, and I'll give you a big red envelope. Besides the red envelope, I can also tell you a secret about Teacher Bi."

As soon as these words came out, before Fu Jing could speak, Bi Feiyu's voice came from the downstairs door, "Old Ji, don't frame me."
