Back To 1995

   Chapter 165 Picking Peaches

   "A source claimed that one of the investors of America Telecom is likely to be Bruno Song, the founder of Internet Double-click, Hotmail, ICQ and other companies!"

   When the news host on the TV station said this sentence, the office of Netscape headquarters was silent.

  Anderson, Jim Clark, and Baxter all watched the news on TV and couldn't utter a word.

  On Anderson's mind, at this time there was only the sentence on the news, the US$3 billion telecom line in the Americas, and this line was probably invested by Song Yang!

  If it wasn't for the news on TV, I'm afraid Anderson would never have believed such news. It's really a huge span, from the Internet to the telecommunications industry, and it's too amazing.

  Especially $3 billion, this figure is too staggering. Now the person with the highest net worth on the Internet is Jim Clark, but Jim Clark's worth is only the threshold of entering the billion dollar club.

   And how much US dollars Song Yang can make with the help of America Telecom, Anderson's scalp feels numb when he thinks of this.

   "Now the media reports news without investigation?!"

   Feeling the dead silence in the office, Baxter said jokingly, as if what he just saw was fake news.

   Anderson shook his head and said a little desolately, "This matter is really the means of that lunatic Bruno Song, he dares to do anything!"

   Watching the news on TV, Anderson felt a little dazed in his heart. He is regarded as a representative figure of Silicon Valley's digital hero, but since Song Yang's debut, he has begun to continuously attract the aura and attention that originally gathered on Anderson.

If just now, when he heard the double-click listing, Anderson still had the idea of ​​competing with Song Yang, but now when he heard about the American Telecom, Anderson had no idea of ​​competing any more. Once the American Telecom thing came true, Anderson It is clear that Song Yang is likely to reach a height that has never been reached by practitioners in the Internet industry.

   Seeing that the Silicon Valley genius he cultivated showed such a lonely look, Jim Clark said with a smile, "This kid Bruno is really surprising, but this money is not so easy to get!"

   Hearing this, Anderson raised his head and looked at Jim curiously, wondering why his life mentor would say these words.

"The futures companies on Wall Street will not be so willing to give up. The most important thing is that the telecom giants in America, how can they be willing to be picked by this kid like this, they tried their best to let the commander pass Singtel The bill is not here to cheapen this kid Song..."

  Jim Clark looked like he was watching a play. Although he was surprised by the appearance of America Telecom, he still said in a mocking tone that he didn't want the generation of genius Anderson that he cultivated to be afraid of Song Yang.

  Jim Clark knows too well that a genius, in addition to his talent, is the kind of inescapable pride. Once he admits defeat, then the genius really perishes.

   As for Telecom America, Jim Clark of the old rivers and lakes, although he is not a person in the telecom industry, he knows more or less the style of the telecom giants in America, but it is not so easy for people to pick peaches!

   As soon as the plane from New York to Houston landed, as soon as Song Yang and the others left the airport, a large group of reporters rushed up immediately.

   "Song, did you really invest in America Telecom?!"

   "Is it true that the Wall Street rumors, you really made three billion dollars on this route?!"

   "Song, should I call you Mr. Three Billion Dollar Knife now?"

   As soon as he got out of the airport, it was like when a Hollywood superstar came out. Houston and the reporters from other Texas cities who heard the news were like crazy, and they rushed up with a sigh.

Whitman, who flew back to Houston on the same flight as Song Yang, never knew that the media and reporters in the financial and financial industries could be so crazy. Compared with reporters in the entertainment industry, they were not too conceited. jumped up.

   Don't blame these reporters for being crazy. After the news from Wall Street last night came out, the entire financial industry media in America immediately felt like they were going crazy.

Pulling a telecommunications network line from Chicago to Wall Street, and then selling the line for three billion dollars, this kind of crazy and dramatic thing is enough to be similar to America's early 20th century, when a man suddenly discovered oil fields, Gold mines, and then get rich overnight, how many years has America been without such a legendary incident? !

Even the business schools of major universities in America are discussing this matter. It is not too innovative to pull a network cable from Chicago to New York, but Song Yang sees a side that others have not seen, only one Dedicated lines can make a lot of money, and the major business schools in America are also shocked. This is the second time that major universities in America have discussed it after the last viral marketing.

After the news about Telecom America broke out yesterday, the major media and TV stations in America have been covering the incident. In fact, when Song Yang and the others boarded the plane back to Houston, there was a large group of reporters. find them.

Against the backdrop of America Telecom, even the double-click company's listing is not so eye-catching. After all, the financing of 60 million US dollars still has a market value of 600 million US dollars. Compared with America Telecom's billions of dollars , is really not enough to see!

   Major TV stations and media have begun to report this line of Telecom America as a "legendary story", and even local TV stations in New York directly called this incident "the oilfield incident in the telecommunications industry"!

Today, New York and America, large and small media, are all on the front lines of eating melons, digging the heels of America Telecom from all aspects, and the America Telecom lines that no one cares about have been dug out abruptly. .

A large group of reporters and the media suddenly watched the construction site of America Telecom. Even a major TV station directly dispatched a helicopter to report and broadcast America Telecom's construction site to thousands of households in America to prove that America Telecom The project is not groundless.

Several major Wall Street investment banks, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and Merrill Lynch also had a large group of reporters who went to verify, and it was confirmed that one-third of the deposit had been paid to America Telecom. In addition, these Wall Street investment banks also "unintentionally" revealed that, It was confirmed that Song Yang is indeed an investor in America Telecom, and may even be the largest investment shareholder of America Telecom. This news made the media even more crazy.

   In this situation of media madness, Song Yang returned to Houston, one can imagine what the situation will be.

Surrounded by such a large group of reporters carrying cameras and microphones, even Whitman, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, felt like a small boat in the sea, being swept away by huge waves. To help reporters around, there is no room to speak.

Ulf stood in the same way. He has been a security guard for many years and has experienced countless war scenes, big and small, but the combat effectiveness of the reporters in front of him made Ulf a little astonished. In order to interview Song Yang a question...

   At this moment, a group of tall security guards entered the venue. Seeing these security guards wearing the logo of the Blackwater Company, Song Yang and Ulf were both relieved.

   "Double-click will hold a roadshow and press conference. If you have any questions, you can ask questions at the meeting!"

   "It is inconvenient to disclose now, if necessary, America Telecom will hold a press conference."

   "Wall Street class action, I don't know, America Telecom didn't violate a single American law!"

Whitman and Greg, hurriedly answered a question or two, and under the **** of the Blackwater security guards, they quickly flashed people, who knows how many reporters are here. There were reporters coming, and even cars with license plates from other states.

After Song Yang and the others went outside, several cars were already waiting outside. Seeing Song Yang coming out, Eric immediately went up to him and gave Song Yang a Texas cowboy hug, "Song, I knew it. We can make it!"

   The blackwater security guard at the airport just now was sent by Eric to relieve the siege. Otherwise, the security guards at the airport would not be able to stop the reporters.

Eric's excitement could not be concealed. After working so hard for so long, he gambled on his RICK company. It seemed that he was finally going to bet. In the future, he will not only be the owner of the largest nightclub in America, but also a telecom investor. It has skyrocketed!

   "Song, Bank of Comerica congratulates you!"

As soon as he received the news that Song Yang had come out of New York, Chris Jain, who rushed back from the construction site with Eric, also said with a smile on his face, since last night, the bosses of Comeliga have They would call him in turn, and as soon as the Inter-American Telecom line was completed, Chris would also be a big man at Bank of Comerica.

   One time, he made several hundred million dollars for Comerica, and Chris was qualified enough to walk sideways at Comerica Bank!

   "Tonight at the RICK night show in Houston, you won't go home if you don't get drunk!" Before getting into the car, Eric shouted to the crowd.

   After getting into the car, Song Yang asked Eric, "You guys leave, are you all right at the construction site of America Telecom?!"

"There's Oswald watching," Eric's face was still full of excitement, "Also, now a lot of reporters are walking around the construction site, and they can't start work at all, how the **** can they show up? So many reporters here!"

   "Song, has America Telecom's project been completed?!" Eric stared at Song Yang and asked.

Song Yang looked at Eric's expression, "Theoretically, this is the case. All of America's 200 line seats have been sold, but until the last moment, no one can be sure that America's telecom is needed now. The line is completed, and the telecommunications license is obtained!"

   Hearing this, Eric let out a long sigh of relief and laughed a few times, "The line is now almost advancing to Pennsylvania and the border of New Jersey, which is less than 100 kilometers away from New York!"

   "The commander has also let go of America's telecommunications industry, Song, we have to do this!"

   "I hope so!" Looking at Eric's excited face, Song Yang didn't throw cold water on him.
