Back To 1995

   Chapter 201 People are floating in the rivers and lakes

   Seeing Song Yang, Tristan immediately stood up with a smile on his face. With Song Yang in front of him, Tristan could be said to have watched Song Yang come to this day step by step.

   "Professor Albert!"

  Song Yang introduced Tristan and Albert. Even though Tristan was a troll when he was on TV, in front of his academic peers, Tristan was full of big.

   One of them was Song Yang's nominal real mentor, and the other was a spiritual mentor. Albert and Tristan were also looking at each other.

   "I've heard it before, America's youngest candidate for the Nobel Prize in economics!" Tristan, who was still eloquent, spoke first and complimented Albert.

  Albert shook his head with a wry smile, saying this a few years ago was a compliment to Albert, but now it is a shackle.

He has been running the Nobel Prize in Economics for many years, but he is still a "candidate". Albert is really afraid of this status. From now on, he will accompany him to retirement, just like someone from Japan wrote "Norwegian Forest". The author of the book, who has accompanied the Nobel Prize for 15 years, can be called the evergreen tree of the Nobel Prize candidate...

   In a few years, whoever dares to say this to Albert again will not be flattering, but cursing, whoever says Albert is with whom.

As soon as he sat down, Tristan couldn't help crusade against Song Yang, "Song, I saw the Chicago futures investors on Wall Street. Regarding your complaints, your American Telecom has reshuffled the Chicago futures market. !"

   He said that Song Yang was being insane, but the smile on Tristan's face was almost covered in folds, which showed how happy Tristan was about this.

   Tristan, who was invited to the University of San Jose today to speak about the Internet landscape in America, could hardly hide the smile on his face.

"Song, do you remember that Christian Barnard," Tristan said with a smirk, "It's Song that you saw me debating with him on TV in that episode. After you watched that episode, you established Double-click the company!"

When I mention this, Tristan has a feeling of getting revenge. I think last year, Tristan had not unlocked the mouth gun skills. He was an old professor in the Department of Computer Science at New York University. The Internet is chanting so that the Silicon Valley financiers can invest in his lab.

   As soon as he appeared on the TV station, he was scolded by Christian Barnard and couldn't come off the TV station. Tristan has been obsessed with this issue.

   And the appearance of Song Yang gave Tristan the confidence. Now Tristan can be said to be America, the most famous scholar in the Internet field. No matter whether he is really skilled or not, he is definitely the most famous!

   "That Barnard, he complained to Song you on TV a few days ago that his investment company spent tens of millions to buy the line seats of America Telecom!"

  Thinking of Christian Barnard, who was furious on TV, constantly scolding Song Yang and American Telecom as "vampire" Barnard, Tristan felt relieved for a while, and the more he cursed, the more Barnard suffered.

Hearing Tristan mention Barnard, Song Yang couldn't help but think of the fat man he had seen on TV once. Song Yang's eyes were strange, and he wondered if it was a gift from a thousand miles. , and shine for America Telecom's revenue, this is simply a model of the times!

   Hearing Song Yang and Tristan talking about the telecommunications industry, Albert couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Our commander, the new telecommunications bill that we have implemented is really..."

  As one of America's top economists, Albert's ability is unquestionable, or he would not have become the youngest professor of economics at the University of San Jose.

What the **** is the new telecommunications bill? Albert could see through it at a glance. Albert reminded Song Yang, "Now the Internet and the telecommunications industry are approaching a frenzy period, and major Internet companies and telecommunications companies are all borrowing to develop. With mergers and acquisitions, but the frenzy period, there will always be a day to subside!"

   Don't care if it's a troll, Tristan still has a few brushes. Hearing Albert's words, Tristan frowned, "Professor Albert, do you think the Internet market will weaken?!"

Tristan is a firm supporter of the big Internet industry. This is his job. He will definitely not pour cold water on the Internet. Tristan's prediction is that the Internet industry will enter the entire America and become the world's largest technology industry in America. Before that, there were no bubbles at all, just insignificant "small bubbles" generated during the development process.

Albert shook his head, "I just said that there is a possibility that a bubble is easy to blow, but it is not so easy to maintain it, or even to blow it up, even if America's money printing machine is always on, it will be done. Not!"

  "No," Tristan also shook his head, "The past experience is indeed true, but the Internet is different. It not only consumes funds, but also creates new value. As the foundation of the Internet, telecommunications must be developed..."

   For a time, Albert and Tristan were fighting each other. Albert believed that there was a bubble in the Internet and the telecommunications industry, but Tristan didn’t think so, thinking that the Internet was just the beginning.

  Albert has strength, Song Yang is not surprised, but Tristan makes Song Yang feel impressed. He didn't expect Tristan to have such strength in addition to his lip service.

   "Professor Albert, Professor Tristan!" Song Yang coughed and stopped the two who were arguing more and more.

Hearing this, Tristan stopped arguing, took a sip of coffee, then turned to look at Albert, "Professor Albert, how long do you think the bubble in the Internet industry you just mentioned can last? ?!"

Tristan is taking Albert’s army. This kind of prediction, although there is no shortage of divine predictions, it turns out that most of them are predictions that were beaten in the face, and if the prediction is wrong, it will cost money. Been whipped for countless years.

   Although there are only Song Yang and the others here, Tristan's mouth can make this prediction known to everyone in America, and even appear in his memoirs.

   "Not more than five years," Albert frowned. After thinking for a while, he finally gave his prediction, "If this is a bubble, it will definitely be burst in these five years!"

   Hearing this, Tristan was not aggressive, Song Yang could even see the worry flashing across Tristan's face.

Five years seems to be a long time. Tristan can also say that Albert is bullshitting, but in America, the time point after five years is too special. At that time, it happened to be the time for the new commander to compete. , once the elephant party is in power, I am afraid that it will not care about the life and death of the Internet industry as the current leader's achievements, and even wish to kill a number of Internet companies, in order to expand the influence of the elephant party in the core industry.

"I'll wait and see. If I lose, I'll go on TV in New York in person and admit my mistake to Professor Albert!" Tristan is not someone who can't afford to lose, although this time it's not a good feeling, but the people If he walks in the rivers and lakes, how can he not get a knife, anyway, even if the Internet is yellow, he can't leave, it is better to create an image of a firm supporter of the Internet, and gain a group of supporters.

Hearing Tristan's bet, Albert couldn't help but smile. He didn't have any dissatisfaction with Tristan, but now he has some appreciation for Tristan. It can still be so thick, Albert is a little behind.

"Similarly, if the Internet industry in America does not collapse within five years, I mean, more than half of the Internet companies that have gone bankrupt, I am willing to teach you to Tristan on TV and admit that I made a mistake in my prediction!" Albert It didn't take advantage of Tristan, and gave a definition to what he called the collapse of the Internet, that is, half of the Internet companies in America were dead.

   "Song, what do you think?" Tristan suddenly asked Song Yang.

Song Yang was a little embarrassed when asked for a while. How would he answer this? Although Song Yang also likes to cut leeks, it is a disaster for Wall Street and those institutions. Song Yang has no ill will towards ordinary leeks. Advocating the Internet at times will definitely let more leeks enter the pit.

   But if it is said that there is a bubble in the Internet, then Song Yang is an enemy of the entire Silicon Valley. If there is instant noodles, then Double Click, which is about to go public, will be questioned by the outside world if there is also a bubble.

   "I only stand on the side of the winner. I think Double Click and other companies I invest in going public in the future will also be winners!"

  Song Yang spit out a sentence, which made Tristan and Albert burst into laughter. Song Yang didn't care whether the other colleagues died or not, as long as the companies built and invested by Song Yang survived.

   But when he came out of the small coffee shop, Song Yang couldn't help thinking that he had to start preparations in advance, otherwise one day the game would crash, and it would be worth the loss.

   In an interview with a media that night, Tristan said a bet with Albert. As the most popular word in America today, anything related to the Internet has attracted much attention.

When these words came out of Tristan's mouth, the media immediately began to fiddle with the topic of whether there is a bubble in America's Internet, and if so, when will it burst? After all, the Internet is always touted. It will get tired, and there will be occasional dissenting voices, which can attract viewers more. Suddenly, the media began to fan the flames.

   Arguing about this kind of prediction is basically bullshitting, just like predicting an avalanche. Before there is no avalanche, it is useless to say more, not to mention the prediction in five years.

   But this kind of dispute has no effect on the Internet industry, which has started to be in a frenzy. Nasdaq did not even rise, and once again hit a new high for the index this year.

The same is true for the telecommunications industry. Just when Song Yang left the University of San Jose and went to the outskirts of San Jose to see the building of the Americas Global Investment Foundation under construction, the telecommunications industry suddenly broke out in two consecutive big deals within one day. buy!

  MFS company suddenly announced an acquisition agreement with UUNET company!
