The following is taken from the wiki page of X-
In an August 2010 The Wall Street Journal article, X has played
down its benefit from Y moving its China Z to Hong Kong, but X's
share of revenue in China's Z market grew six percentage points
in the second quarter to 70%, according to Beijing-based
research firm Analysis International.
It is also evident that X is attempting to enter the internet social
network market. As of 2011, it is discussing the possibility of
working with Facebook, which would lead to a Chinese version of
the international social network, managed by X. This plan, if
executed, would face off X with competition from the two
popular Chinese social networks Renren and Kaixin001 as well as
induce rivalry with instant-messaging giant, Tencent QQ.

Upon returning to Atari, X was assigned to create a
circuit board for the arcade video game Z. According to
Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell, Atari offered $100 for
each chip that was eliminated in the machine. X had
little specialized knowledge of circuit board design and
made a deal with Y to split the fee evenly between them
if Y could minimize the number of chips. Much to the
amazement of Atari engineers, Y reduced the number of
chips by 50, a design so tight that it was impossible to
reproduce on an assembly line. According to Y, X told
him that Atari gave them only $700 (instead of the
offered $5,000), and that Y's share was thus $350. Y did
not learn about the actual bonus until ten years later,
but said that if X had told him about it and had said he
needed the money, Y would have given it to him.
