Netscape Communications is now being targeted by AOL America Online, and is conducting acquisition negotiations with the company's management. As the largest shareholder holding 28.% of the shares, Wukong Angel Investment Fund is a strategic investor and has voting rights, but does not interfere with the company's affairs. Operations and management will not oppose AOL just because it is a competitor of GPIC. As long as it can be sold at a good price, they will vote in favor.

The purpose of Wukong Angel Investment Fund in investing in IT start-up companies in the United States is to sell them at a good price in the future and maximize investment profits.

On April 12, 1996, Yahoo was listed on Nasdaq. On the first day of listing, the stock market value reached 100 million U.S. dollars. However, the company's turnover in 1999 was only 1.3 million U.S. dollars, with an actual loss of 630,000 U.S. dollars. Until the end of 1996, Only made $90,000.

Investment indicator.

When IT entrepreneurs among the Chinese in Silicon Valley want to raise funds, they will first think of i.

Although i is not a listed company and does not need to publish company financial reports on a regular basis, some good people have used public information and preliminary calculations to find that yahoo, Netscape Communications, ati, 3dx, nvidia, ebay, etc. held by i have been listed or will be listed soon. The company's stock market value has exceeded 0 billion US dollars, and the market value of these stocks is increasing at a rate of 40% per year.

What these busybodies don’t know is that Atic is not the original company, but Atic directly stepped forward and successively invested in Qualcomm, GCA, MeMC., Blizzard Entertainment, Zeiss Jena...

On March 1, once rivatnt, which is advertised to have 1. times the performance of voodoo2, is launched, with a retail price of 200 US dollars, equivalent to 160 yuan, and voodoo2 with a retail price of 2,900 yuan does not significantly reduce the price, 3dx will lose a lot of 3D graphics card market share .

Sun Jian is not an enthusiast. The 10,000 yuan Voodoo 2 ordered by Guozhi Computer Company is the wholesale price after January 1st. He has to wait for the second generation PentiumⅡ to be launched before officially placing an order.

Rivatnt has not yet been officially launched. The savvy Huang Renxun has already used various media such as websites, TV, newspapers and magazines to vigorously promote it. Various product evaluation reports have been overwhelmingly published in major media. The purpose is to provide computer games with Enthusiasts and professionals are brainwashed that rivatnt is a magical product that can defeat voodoo2.

The testing department of 3dx Company has obtained the rivatnt for testing. After passing the internal test, I was shocked. The performance indeed exceeded voodoo2, but it has not been optimized by pengxp or indos9. The overall performance is not much higher than voodoo2, and there are many products. Defects once the product gets optimized for pengxp or indos9? What if tnt2 is successfully developed?

Scarytarolli was immediately unsettled, and it became the consensus of the two to seize the time and successfully develop voodoo3.

Since voodoo2 monopolizes 8% of the 3D graphics card market share, the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married. The entire 3dx company is very confident in the company's technical strength and products, and there is even an atmosphere of loneliness and failure.

Voodoo2 is the second generation 3D graphics card of 3dx, and supports opengl and d3d, as well as its own glide.

On June 30, 1992, SiligraphicsSGI, a Silicon Valley graphics company, took the lead and joined forces with Peng, Microsot, Sun, Intel, IBM, Apple, Dell, ATI, etc. to establish the Openglopengl Architecture Review Committee and released the Opengl1.0 specification, which triggered the A graphics revolution.

The opengl open graphics library is a cross-language and cross-platform application programming interface API for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics. This interface consists of nearly 30 different function calls and is used to draw simple graphics to more complex ones. Three-dimensional scene.

Another 3D API system is direct3dd3d only available on Microsoft Tindos.

OpenGL is an open 3D graphics software development package that is independent of the operating system. Applications developed on its basis can be easily and conveniently transplanted to various platforms.

The main members include high-tech companies such as sgi, peng, microsot, sun, intel, ibm, apple, dell, ati, 3dx, sis, s3, matrox, trident, nvidia and sgi.

direct3d is a 3D application programming interface specification developed by Microsoft in 1996 for personal computers. Microsoft owns the copyright of this library and is included in the help files and source code of the program development components provided by Microsoft. It is suitable for multimedia, entertainment, real-time 3D animation, etc. Extensive and practical 3D graphics calculations.

Since its release in 1996, direct3d has been quickly recognized for its good hardware compatibility and friendly programming methods. Nowadays, almost all 3D graphics cards provide good support for direct3d, but it also has flaws because it is provided in the form of an interface. , which is more complex and has poor stability. It is currently only available on the indos platform.

Glide is a dedicated 3D application programming interface specification for the voodoo series independently developed by 3dx. It is based on lash and does not imitate peng, indos or other similar desktop environments. It provides a unique interface and is the first to be obtained in the field of pc games. The most widely used program interface is easy to use and stable.

3dx's technical strength and financial resources cannot be challenged by Nvidia, but the company's management and R&D department agree that Nvidia will be 3dx's strongest competitor and must be suppressed in all aspects.

I also know that rivatnt will be launched on January 1st, but I don’t know the specific price. We have to wait for Nvidia to announce the price before deciding on the price reduction.

In his previous life, Sun Jian did not know that 3dx was eventually acquired by Nvidia. Even if he knew, he would not instruct 3dx to fight against Nvidia. In addition to having flesh on the back of his hands and palms, he must keep his promise and not participate in the company's management. It is written in black and white. Unless you come to ask for advice.

nvidia company acquires 3dx company, and 3dx company acquires nvidia company. As the largest shareholder of both companies, Sun Jian will not suffer losses, but in his heart he hopes that nvidia company acquires 3dx company. In addition to Huang Renxun being Chinese, the most important thing is It was Nvidia that became the world's largest GPU graphics processor company in its previous life.

In the past life, the development trend of the American IT industry was from a hundred flowers to a technology oligarchy, and aamng was born, including Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, and Google.

Netflix is ​​a company founded by Reed Hastings last October in Los Gatos, California, to conduct movie DVD rental business based on an online subscription model. It has not yet raised a round of financing and is also investing in Wukong Angel. Under the nose of the fund.

The small town of Los Gatos is located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, a 20-minute drive from downtown San Jose.
