Back To 1995

   Chapter 199 Ignition

   Seeing Irene, who had to maintain the character of a strong woman at this time, Song Yang turned over and pulled the little wild cat down under Irene's exclamation.

Although it's a little tasteful, Song Yang bought the Long Island manor for Jenny in name, but Irene is not ready to be a canary. She is now a representative of the young generation of strong women in America, and Irene doesn't want to lose it. This character!

   And in Irene's current identity, with the support of Song Yang, Irene is now living like a duck to water. After Double-click goes public, Irene, who holds 1% of Double-click's equity, may be worth more than ten million dollars.

The big head is still on ICQ. If ICQ can be listed one day, then Irene will likely become one of the most expensive female professional managers in America. For her, estates such as Long Island, Manhattan, and even private jets are also important to her. Not out of reach!

   Unlike Jenny, who has no interest in the company and management, she can talk about some things with Irene and Song Yang, although the occasion is on the bed, which is a little weird...

  Irene, who was completely exhausted, lay lazily in front of Song Yang at this time, focusing on Song Yang's Hollywood-level face that was slightly more mature than last year.

After    a full half of the sound, Irene asked Song Yang, "What should I do in the future of ICQ, when will I apply for listing?!"

  Irene knew of some of Song Yang's plans, especially after the double-click listing, prepared a plan to invest in eBay, Amazon, etc., Irene couldn't help but feel anxious.

As the female head of the world's first instant messaging website, Erin also naturally hopes that, like Whitman, she can bring ICQ to Nasdaq. For a female professional manager, this definitely belongs to a A feat at the Wall Street ceiling level.

   Touching Irene's satin-like skin, Song Yang lowered his head and looked at Irene's expectant eyes, "Don't be so anxious, ICQ doesn't need to be compared with Double Click, maybe it's more important than you think!"

Song Yang is not fooling Irene. ICQ is the vanguard of Song Yang's occupation of America's social industry. Once it can occupy the social industry in the future, this is an industry that can be compared with Microsoft. Think of the title of social queen, isn't it fragrant? ? !

However, Irene is a little skeptical about Song Yang's remarks. It's not that she can't see the potential of the social industry. After watching ICQ's launch, it has harvested users like a storm, and you can see how big the social industry market is. Find a means of monetization, and with the huge users and traffic in the social industry, you can almost make money lying down!

   But that was later. Now it seems that ICQ has a ferocious momentum, but the operation is as fierce as a tiger. As soon as the performance is lost, ICQ's current performance is a bit silly to say that it surpasses Netscape, not to mention calling Microsoft.

   Looking at Irene, Song Yang said, "Maybe the social industry, the era that really belongs to it, is not the current PC Internet era, but the next era!"

"When Internet technology is more developed, when the mainstream of the Internet transitions from the PC Internet to the personal Internet era, everyone may have a handheld electronic product that can socialize online, and Internet social networking products will become a necessity for everyone. Microsoft systems are more important to ordinary users!"

  Irene listened to this, her eyes were a little dazed. If the day Song Yang said, there will be a lot more Internet social users than users who use Microsoft computer systems.

But I don't know how many years later, Irene and ICQ will definitely not be able to wait, Irene pursed her lips, with a bit of annoyance, "Then ICQ is not doing anything now, and is not ready to go public? "

   Seeing Irene's rare expression of such a situation, Song Yang couldn't help laughing.

  Thinking about it, these few years have been the hottest season for the Internet. If you don’t make money from the listing, I’m really sorry for the fame and advantages that ICQ has obtained.

   "ICQ can prepare for listing, but listing is not all of ICQ!"

   "The establishment of ICQ is for users in the social industry. This is the most important thing. ICQ can launch other businesses such as portals to attract investors, but the social industry must not give up!"

Song Yang explained to Irene, "There are many kinds of social industry, not only instant messaging, ICQ must continue to launch new Internet social products, or acquire other new social companies, to maintain an absolute position in the social industry! "

In the future, on Songyang's side, Internet social products represented by ICQ will definitely continue to launch new "vests", start the nesting doll model, and continue to launch or acquire a number of social products such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., to remain absolutely in the social industry. dominance.

   "Games will be a social industry. Apart from advertising, the most important monetization method, ICQ can make arrangements in this area in advance." Song Yang finally mentioned another sentence.

  Irene looked at Song Yang with gleaming eyes. She almost broke her head because of ICQ's profit. Now that she heard that there was a way to make social networking come true, she immediately became energetic, "Games?!"

Song Yang nodded, feeling that now is the time to start a fire in the game industry. Games are an indispensable existence in the Internet. No matter how you look at it, it can indeed make money, and I dare not say that the game supports half of it. Internet companies, but one-third definitely have them.

   Now is the time when the game started to enter the era of online games from the stand-alone era. At this time, Song Yang couldn't help but think of Blizzard.

   looked down at Irene, Song Yang hugged her and pulled up the quilt, and said with distress, "ICQ can pay attention to companies such as Blizzard, Valve, Rockstar, as well as Nippon and Bangzi's online game development company..."

   Song Yang only mentioned one sentence, but Irene kept the companies mentioned by Song Yang firmly in her heart!

   When I woke up in the morning, Irene had already rushed to the ICQ company. Song Yang got up and had a breakfast, and then ran out of sweat. After rinsing, he went to San Jose University.

It is said that since he entered San Jose University last year, Song Yang has not been here for almost half of the time. However, San Jose University has no opinion on Song Yang. Instead, he is touting the future "famous alumni" of San Jose University , and also broke the news to the "San Jose Mercury News" and other media that Song Yang performed well at the University of San Jose and is a model among the new generation of young people in America...

This time, when Song Yang returned to San Jose University, this feeling was even more obvious. Obviously, the emergence of American Telecom and the rumor that Song Yang's net worth skyrocketed was another big shock to San Jose University. Not to mention San Jose University, Ami Among the colleges and universities in Lijia, in recent years, there is no "rookie" as fierce as Song Yang!

After Song Yang returned to San Jose, he was ridiculed by the media for hollowing out Telecom Americas, having no money to hire a real leader, cronyism, and being interested in the sports industry, so Iger was appointed president of Telecom Americas and other rumors. Song Yang was out of sight and out of mind.

   Now San Jose has a taste of Song Yang's base camp. Local media, reporters, and San Jose councilors have all begun to support Song Yang. It is impossible for those reporters to come to San Jose to find fault.

   Song Yang could be invisible, but Iger couldn't avoid it. He became the head of America Telecom, which greatly increased Iger's popularity, but these popularity were not necessarily good voices.

In New York, there was a sudden increase in the media about Iger’s initiation of interviews, but Iger refused all of them. This made all kinds of public opinions raging, and the media that fanned the flames even began to predict how long Iger could stay in America Telecom, and when America Telecom will be. will fall.

Iger, who just took office, is too busy to take care of those public opinions at all. Just one meeting and interview will keep Iger busy. There are also various meetings, and Iger will go home and meet Willow Bell. chances are much less.

   "America Telecom's three operation centers in New York, Silicon Valley and Houston must be built this year, and the broadband line in Silicon Valley also needs to be built this year!"

  In the New York office building of American Telecom, Iger is convening the first management meeting and said to the group of executives who have just been formed.

  These executives are basically from the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Enron, and Bank of Comerica, plus Iger and the personnel recruited during this period. Iger and these new executives are all people from Song Yang.

  Iger is making arrangements with a group of executives. New York and Silicon Valley are the two most profitable markets in the telecom industry. The first step for America Telecom is to occupy these two markets.

  New York Needless to say, the telecom market of Wall Street was originally occupied by America Telecom. In addition, the telephone and telegraph is a local snake. It will not be too difficult for America Telecom to capture the New York market.

   In front of America Telecom is another fat Silicon Valley market. America Telecom wants to win the telecom market with San Jose as its core, but with Song Yang and ICQ in San Jose, America Telecom also has a great advantage in Silicon Valley!

   Once it can win these two markets, America Telecom is equivalent to having two money printing machines and can get stable cash flow every year.

   "The telecommunications business department will occupy the two major markets of New York and Silicon Valley this year, and the lines will also be spread to Texas. The retail channel stores of communications must build more than 300 stores in major cities in America this year!"

Looking at the executives of America Telecom, Iger said that now America Telecom is mainly divided into three major departments. The first major department is naturally the traditional telecom business department, which pulls network cables to major cities. The second major department is Song The last department of the chain retail store that Yang specially explained is the financial department specializing in investment and acquisition.

  The rest of course also have technical, personnel, legal and other departments, but basically within a few years, these three departments are the main departments, and the technology is mainly handed over to Bell Labs.

   Today, Kravis, Roberts and others from KKR Group came to the meeting. Looking at Iger who was constantly arranging deployments in the conference room, Kravis had a new understanding of Iger.

Now the media and public opinion are very unfriendly to Iger, and they are all waiting to see his jokes. Iger can withstand external pressure and can live in today's town, which makes Kravis feel different about Iger. Eye to eye.
