Back To 1995

   Chapter 275 Tradition

  When the sky was getting dark, the huge business plane took off from the San Jose airport and flew towards the east.

This business jet has been renovated by the aircraft lessor, and the passenger seats are only less than one-sixth of the original size, and various facilities such as a small bar and lounge have been added on the aircraft, even if it is not comparable to the private jet of the top rich. , but compared to Boeing and Airbus' long-haul airliners, the internal conditions are much better.

  The flight attendants on business planes are all carefully selected. Compared with those aunt-level flight attendants on American domestic routes, they are naturally different.

Knowing that the people on this flight are all Internet upstarts with a lot of money, the flight attendants on the plane need not mention their service attitude. Gallo and Wesley are surrounded by several flight attendants. .

Song Yang, who was sitting with Irene, didn't need to say more. Irene watched the flight attendant girls with good physique, walking back and forth beside Song Yang. After the plane took off, she never stopped. There were two courageous people who had already exchanged ICQ and computer numbers with Song Yang.

"It seems that Mr. Seven Billion Dollar Knife is very popular!" Irene, who was wearing a black frame and dressed conservatively, looked at the attentive flight attendants and said calmly to Song Yang, but her hand pointed towards Song Yang. Song Yang pinched him on the rib.

This trip to Asia, Irene thought that Jenny would not come, it was a rare trip to Asia for her and Song Yang, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got on the plane, a group of flowers and butterflies flew towards Song Yang. come over.

Originally, Jenny was going to go together, but she was being hurriedly trained by the actor trainer who was invited from Hollywood. She only had a month to wait for Song Yang to return from Asia. The filming started, and there was no problem for Jenny to enter the crew, but the female trainer in Hollywood didn't want Jenny to smash her sign, so she took Jenny for emergency training, and this time Jenny had to stay. America.

   Being pinched by the little wild cat, Song Yang let out a sigh of relief, and quickly waved his hand to let the few flight attendants wandering beside him leave, and then Irene withdrew her hand.

Gleek, who was not far away, saw Song Yang and Irene's intimate actions, but he just didn't see it. Now Song Yang is surrounded by people from all walks of life, and Irene has begun to occupy a high position, Gleick can't be anymore. As in the past, it is clear that the carriage and horses are not able to get along with Irene.

Even Gleek, Irene, Whitman and others next to Song Yang have become invisible circles. Irene's Jewish identity allows her to do a good job in the position of ICQ co-president. Shuiqi, on the Wall Street side, is very supportive of Irene, both in terms of funds and public opinion.

For the acquisition of Snow Mountain, Blizzard and other companies, ICQ has successively borrowed several funds this year. Wall Street is generous, and the media controlled by Wall Street is touting Irene. Titles such as Internet Queen, Technology Queen, and more It is in reports about Erin from time to time, and her reputation on Wall Street has even surpassed Whitman's to a certain extent...

   Negative news about Irene has almost never appeared in the media, which is very rare for a young leader. These are inseparable from the Jewish ethnicity behind Irene!

   A group of people on the plane sat together in twos and threes. Whitman and Omidyar sat next to each other, flipping through a stack of documents, apparently discussing eBay.

  Xie Qing and Iger were obviously talking, while Wesley had a great conversation with a senior engineer representing PA Semiconductor. These people on the plane are basically Song Yang's team!

  The business plane crossed the night sky, and when it was far from the mainland of America, two pieces of news suddenly appeared in the technology industry of America.

   "Internet upstarts enter the mobile phone industry!"

  The most well-informed Wall Street Journal first started to report and reported to the outside world that Song Yang had acquired the Alcatel mobile phone brand.

As soon as the news came out, the entire America's technology industry was in shock. It's not surprising that Song Yang is tossing around the Internet. They can understand when he goes to Hollywood to burn money. It is also human nature.

But why, suddenly entering the mobile phone electronics industry is a bit puzzling, and then it came out that Alcatel sold Alcatel's mobile phone business, including brand, technology, When the patents, industrial chain, and sales channels were all sold to Song Yang, let alone Nokia and Motorola, even others in the technology industry were a little dumbfounded.

   This can no longer be regarded as the price of cabbage. It is so similar to Ming robbing that when the news first came out, some people thought that Alcatel's latest quarterly performance was a thunderstorm, otherwise, why would it be sold like this?

Regarding Song Yang's entry into the mobile phone industry, various voices have begun to appear. Some people think that the achievements made on the Internet have made Song Yang arrogant and arrogant, and he dares to enter the mobile phone industry like a meat grinder, not to mention the international market. In America, it is estimated that Motorola can kill Song Yang's new Alcatel mobile phone brand!

   "I have always admired Bruno Song very much. I think he is the leader of the Internet, creating one new Internet trend after another. Even if he enters Hollywood, he is still promoting Internet culture!"

Chicago TV, a commentator, faced the camera and said regretfully, "But this time, Bruno Song disappointed me a lot. I admit that he is a genius of the Internet, but please, this is the mobile phone industry, with Nokia, In the mobile phone industry of Motorola, Ericsson and other brands, perhaps, we will witness a history, and today, tomorrow, may be the time when the mobile phone brand Arbat will disappear!"

This current affairs commentator, in a regretful but affirmative tone, said that Alcatel was bound to lose in the mobile phone industry. Although it was clear that in Chicago, the home of Motorola, his heart was definitely for Motorola, but his words were not. No one objected.

   "Genius is about to fall!"

Another media also put a sensational title on the title, believing that Song Yang’s acquisition of Alcatel mobile phones was a complete failure, not to mention other, the rich and powerful Alcatel couldn’t handle the mobile phone business, and he was paralyzed by Nokia. , Why does Song Yang think that he can do what Alcatel Group has not done?

"Perhaps, we will witness another company founded by Chinese American Americans suffer the misfortune of "Wang An-style bankruptcy". The Alcatel mobile phone will be like a huge scar, bleeding constantly, causing Song Yang to pay a huge price. Until it finally collapsed like Wang An's company..."

   As soon as the news came out that Song Yang started the Alcatel mobile phone business, various voices began to appear, but most of them were not optimistic, and the major media in America also ridiculed them.

  America's media admits Song Yang's genius in the Internet, but in other industries, he is not optimistic, especially this time, he has entered the mobile phone industry on a rampage.

   As long as a person with a normal brain and who knows a little about the American mobile phone industry knows that Motorola is a powerful giant, an upstart in the Internet, wants to be tough with Motorola?

I don't know how many crazy people would say that Song Yang can win. It's not like hitting a stone with an egg. This is an old-fashioned Ford car in the 1970s and 80s. It can climb faster than the latest sports car. To the end, it was fine.

   There are media, and even after the opening, Alcatel's first mobile phone after being taken over by Song Yang, can it still appear in front of everyone.

  Motorola, Nokia and other mobile phone brands have no comment on another "novice" who has entered the industry, and it seems that they have not seen it at all.

   However, Song Yang, who had already boarded the plane, couldn't see these public opinions, so the reporters and media who rushed to San Jose were all in vain.

   And the most thunderbolt is the Alcatel mobile phone brand. In the Alcatel mobile phone business department in France, Ertien, who is in charge of the mobile phone business, just finished processing the documents. When he looked up, it was completely dark outside the window.

Ertien is the founder of the Alcatel mobile phone brand. When it was established, Ertien was also very high-spirited. He once said on the Alcatel board of directors that Alcatel mobile phones should catch up with Nuochao, and let the mobile phone business become Alcatel. The jewel in the crown.

  Alcatel mobile phone did have a bright moment. It once became the top-selling mobile phone brand in France and the top three mobile phone brands in Europe.

   But in the past year or two, Alcatel's mobile phone has been declining, and Ertien can also feel that Alcatel has already had an opinion on the mobile phone business.

But just like that sentence, it is too far from heaven, too close to Nokia, and in the European market, it is necessary to face the big devil of Nokia. In the past few years, I could occasionally challenge Nokia. crush.

  Alcatel is completely unstoppable in terms of mobile phone performance, design, function, price, etc. At the same price, why not buy the more famous and better Nokia, but buy Alcatel?

  Although he is also a little worried, Ertian has not thought that the Alcatel mobile phone division will be sold. Now it is in a recession, but how much can he make some money? !

   Ertien, who was sitting in the office, packing up his things and preparing to go home, suddenly heard a noise outside. When he reached the window, he suddenly saw a group of reporters and media outside.

   Seeing this scene, Eltien couldn't help but feel a little strange. Except when the new mobile phone was released, the PR department would invite reporters to come. I don't know why reporters would come here.

   Just as he was about to make a phone call to inquire, the phone in the office rang. After Ertien connected, it was the sales manager of Alcatel Mobile in America who called.

Hearing the other end of the phone asking in an anxious tone, "Why did the Alcatel mobile phone brand suddenly sell to Song Yang?" Ertian's head buzzed, and it was quite abrupt. Without any precautions, he suddenly been sold?

Throwing the phone aside, Ertien will rush over, turn on the TV, flip through a few channels, and see Churuk, the president of the Alcatel Group headquarters, who announced to the French media, "Alcatel has sold the mobile phone business, which is a whole new page for the Alcatel Group!"
