Back To 1995

   Chapter 241 This is History

  Song Yang raised his wine glass and touched a glass with Martin Solo and Joe Tus. Both of them were regarded as one of Song Yang's "guides", at least they took good care of Song Yang.

   Looking at Martin Solo, Song Yang said, "Thanks to President Martin for his support, double-clicking on the current situation of the company, I believe it is only temporary, and the current problems can definitely be solved!"

Sitting on the second largest shareholder of Double-click Company, this time WPP Group chose to stand with Song Yang. Without Martin Solo's support, the backyard would catch fire, and Double-click Company had different opinions. I'm afraid Song Yang would have to deal with it. More trouble.

   Hearing this, Martin Solo waved his hand domineeringly, "The WPP Group and I chose to invest in Song You, and we will continue to invest in you. The WPP Group can afford this loss!"

  Double-click company, to a certain extent, is responsible for the WPP Group's layout in the Internet advertising industry. It is also a little annoyed for WPP Group to be targeted in this way.

It was almost affected by the lawsuit of Double-click Company. Since this time, the Internet industry has been in a state of fluctuation. After all, advertising is the Internet industry. The only opportunity to see profit is to attack Double-click Company. To a certain extent, the entire Internet The industry is suffering.

But for WPP Group, although it earns a little less now, the venture capital money invested in Double-click has already earned back dozens of times, but now Double-click is listed, it cannot immediately be like Netscape and Yahoo! That way, it's nearly a hundred times more profitable.

   "Song, you are a little anxious about the double-click!"

The three stood on the balcony of the banquet. After Joetus took a sip of his drink, he said to Song Yang that if Joetus handled this matter, it would not have resulted in such a tit-for-tat situation. According to Joetus' style, there are At times, we will "retreat to advance" and seek new opportunities in addition.

  Jotus' style is "steady", he is a good hand at holding the building down, dealing with messes, and he will not be in danger, and he will not be as rigid as Song Yang.

"I don't have a choice. One step back and countless steps back, maybe only one step away!" Song Yang raised his glass and said, of course he understood what Joetus meant. It's not like you can't let go by double-clicking. Strength, and then retaliate to the opponent.

   Martin Solo had a different opinion on Chotus's "stable", "I don't think Song, what is wrong, even if Song gives in this time, do you think the other party will stop there?"

  Martin Solo has always been chasing after his opponents. He will never give up until he kills the last opponent. This is why the WPP Group has become a giant in just over ten years, because he has killed all the opponents.

At the beginning, if the WPP Group encountered a difficult opponent, it would not move forward, or even seek peace, then the WPP Group would never be able to get to where it is today, so Martin Solo admired Song Yang's actions this time. .

   If the investment company of Double-click cannot become the industry leader, or is afraid to move forward when encountering opponents, then Martin Solo really needs to consider whether to let Double-click be replaced by a new helm!

  Jotus shook his head, unwilling to argue with this "British guy" any more. This time he double-clicked on the company's troubles, and Joetus naturally could see something. It was obvious that someone was "fishing in troubled waters".

   Being tough at this time, naturally, it can let people know that Song Yang is not easy to mess with, and it will make many people give up the idea of ​​messing with Song Yang.

But this also allowed another group of people to know the style and depth of Song Yang, and the next time they targeted Song Yang, the means would definitely be more aggressive, non-Anglo-Saxon and Jewish, in America, as long as they had a fortune. After that, they all had to experience being cut as leeks for a few times, and only after they survived it would it be possible to become one of the people who played chess in this game of chess in America!

   "Wang An Company, tomorrow will provide some funds to buy the shares of Double Click Company." Joe Tus said to Song Yang.

When Martin Solo heard this, he just snorted, knowing that Joetus was also well-intentioned. Tomorrow, double-click the company to go public. The pressure on the market is not great. There are only 60 million US dollars in outstanding shares. Joe Tusi asked Wang An to buy the shares of Double-click Company, and more expressed his support for Double-click Company.

  I thought that after the listing of Netscape and Yahoo, I didn't feel much about the double-click listing, but Song Yang barely fell asleep until midnight.

   No matter how many companies Song Yang invests in and how many new industries he builds in the future, double-clicking as the "eldest son" should be the most impressive to Song Yang.

When Song Yang went downstairs, Gleek, Gallo, Kaivey Lyman, Marcus, Erin, Wesley and others who built Double Click with their own hands were already waiting below. , even if they leave the double-click, but the double-click is still the one they remember the most!

   A row of motorcades drove towards Nasdaq. Along the way, the double-click company's LOGO and advertisements appeared on both sides of the road, whether it was billboards, outdoor advertisements in office buildings or landmark buildings passing by.

When passing through Times Square, hundreds of screens were full of double-click advertising slogans. When the motorcade approached the Nasdaq trading floor, it was surrounded by a large number of reporters. Although these reporters asked It's not a good question at all.

What about "Will Double-click Company lose the lawsuit?", "Is Double-click Company possible to delist after its delisting?", and also asked, "Is Song Yang ready to attend the hearing on Capitol Hill?" Double-click is a special day. Song Yang has already sent people to send these reporters away. He has no eyesight, so I don't know if it's a good question to ask, whether Double-click's stock price will skyrocket, etc. of.

   But in fact, the reporters present today are really not interested in the double-click stock price, and even the entire Wall Street institution has no expectations for the performance of the double-click today, as long as it does not fall below the issue price, it is enough!

   "Dear viewers, we are now on the trading floor of Nasdaq. The founder and management team of Double-click have arrived on Nasdaq, but Double-click did not accept interviews with the media and reporters as usual."

A local New York TV station was doing an interview, "Because of the influence of public opinion, Wall Street investment banks and institutions did not make an estimate of Double-click's stock price. Only the three institutions responsible for underwriting Double-click, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, and Merrill Lynch, gave the The company's stock price has estimated an increase of 15% to 20%, and said that double-clicking the company's stock price is within a reasonable investment range!"

While reporting, there was a sudden commotion in the Nasdaq lobby. The reporter who was reporting turned his head to take a look, and immediately ran over, reporting as he ran, "It's Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo! He's here to attend the double-click company's listing ceremony!"

The presence of Yang Zhiyuan caused a little disturbance on the Nasdaq. Yahoo is now a hot presence on the Nasdaq. It has only been listed for more than a month, and its market value has nearly tripled to $1.5 billion, but this does not seem to be the case. Yahoo's limits.

Yahoo has become a new "miracle" of the Internet. Every day, the turnover rate of Yahoo's stock is astonishingly high, that is, people are constantly buying and selling. The representative trend is to let Yahoo replace Netscape. After all, Netscape is really in a recession.

   "Excuse me, Jerry Yang, how far do you think Double Click Company can reach?"

The reporter surrounded the "Yahoo Chief" who had just entered the lobby, thinking that it was almost the same position a month ago. Some media interviewed Song Yang and asked the same question. Song Yang said that he was very optimistic about Yahoo stock, and then looked back and smashed it one day. Buying Yahoo stock for tens of millions of dollars is really a combination of magic and action, and it can be regarded as a model in the investment industry.

   Yang Zhiyuan, who is gradually taking the lead in America's Internet, is naturally heroic when he hears such a question. "I am very optimistic about the development of Double-click Company. I believe Song, he has proved to everyone that he is a genius of the Internet!"

   "Yahoo is one of the shareholders of Double-click Company. On behalf of the Yahoo board of directors, I promise that within a year, Double-click Company's stock will not be sold, and I will personally invest in Double-click Company's stock!"

After   Yang Zhiyuan, representatives of companies from the Internet and technology industries came to the scene one after another. The founders or executives of companies such as Altavista, Artisdirect, Lycos, and Excite also came to join in.

As more and more Internet companies are present, some media even exclaimed. Today is the Internet Conference in America. Almost all the Internet companies with names and names are present. These upstarts in America, use In this way, express support for Double Click Company.

It was the people from both sides of AOL and Microsoft who really aroused the shouting. Case sent his confidant Ted Lyonses to come, and on Microsoft's side, it was Todd, the president of Microsoft's public relations department, who was most familiar with Song Yang. Come to cheer.

  The presence of Microsoft and AOL signifies that more than half of the entire American Internet industry has been present.

What's even more unexpected is that the two founders of Netscape, Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, who were rumored to be at odds with Song Yang, were also present at the last minute, and it was confirmed that this is America today. The name of an Internet conference!

   "Congratulations, Song!"

  When the two sides meet again, Song Yang, Anderson, and Jim Clark are very peaceful, and they have a feeling of meeting and smiling.

   There is really nothing to win. Netscape's imperial dream of dominating the Internet has been shattered, and now it is dragged into the quagmire of the browser war. For Anderson and Jim Clark, what happened before Song Yang is actually nothing.

When Song Yang, Yang Zhiyuan, and Mark Anderson stood together, the most beautiful three of America and the global Internet stood together in the past two years. For the media and reporters present, today's trip has already It's not in vain!

And the group photo after that made the media and reporters go crazy. When Song Yang, Yang Zhiyuan Anderson, Joe Tus, Martin Solo, Todd representing Microsoft, AOL, Altavista, Artisdirect, Lex Lycos , Excite, L90, VCLK and other dozens of Internet companies founders and executives, when standing together for a photo, the scene was almost flashed by the camera into a white flower!
