Back To 1995

   Chapter 53 Two Tigers Fight

  Regardless of the personal relationship between Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan, when it comes to the dispute between Yahoo and DoubleClick, it is not determined by the relationship between Song Yang and the two.

When Yahoo develops in the future, it will develop into many fields such as instant messaging, e-commerce, etc. This is the natural law of big fish eating small fish, and it is impossible to stop. At that time, Song Yang will be able to follow Yang Zhiyuan like today. It's not fake to continue drinking tea, but the industries under both sides, the dog's brain is estimated to be out!

   After Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan signed the equity swap, everyone on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

   At this time, Yahoo did not feel disadvantaged, but was quite happy. After exchanging equity with Double-click Company, Yahoo could start to brag and build momentum for the listing!

   As for the Double-click Company, in addition to the 5% of Yahoo's equity that he expects to acquire, which is valuable, the other is the binding with Yahoo, which makes Double-click Company's industry status surpass that of other competitors.

   If it weren't for Netscape's unwillingness to exchange equity, Double Click here would have married the current leader of the Internet industry if they were not prepared!

   After signing the agreement, Yahoo immediately released the news of the exchange of equity between the two parties, which immediately became the focus of the Internet industry that day.

The news that came out later made the entire Silicon Valley lose its voice. Yahoo released news and reached a two-year advertising revenue of $45 million with DoubleClick, which means that within two years, Yahoo’s digital advertising revenue will break through. Forty-five million dollars!

This is really a satellite. You know, even on Netscape, they only dare to shout about the digital advertising revenue next year. If it breaks 10 million US dollars, the cowhide is already not small. When it comes to Yahoo, it will be turned over directly. nearly five times.

  Netscape headquarters, hearing the news from Yahoo, Mark Anderson hurried to Jim Clark's office, "Jim, there is news from Yahoo, what are they doing?"

  Netscape was in the critical period of going public. At this time, Yahoo suddenly grabbed the limelight. The key point was that Yahoo had a faint smell of stealing Netscape's status in the world, which made Mark Anderson a little dissatisfied and uneasy.

  Jim Clark of the old Jianghu was not in any hurry, looking at the angry Mark Anderson, "Calm Anderson, don't worry, Yahoo can't affect Netscape, and Yang Zhiyuan can't replace your status as a Silicon Valley hero!"

   "Jim, I didn't mean that..."

Anderson was a little embarrassed to be told by Jim Clark. He is now at the age when he likes fame and fortune the most. This year, the major media are touting his identity as a "Silicon Valley Technology Hero", and suddenly a "Yahoo Chief" appeared. Can not help but make Anderson a little anxious.

   "Double-click, and our young collaborator Song, any news?" Jim asked Anderson.

  Anderson didn't know that at this time, Jim couldn't think of a way to put some pressure on Yahoo, and instead focused on what Song Yang was doing.

   Speaking of Song Yang, who was involved with Yahoo, Anderson is also dissatisfied now. "I heard that after exchanging equity with Yahoo, I went to San Jose to buy land. As the media said, Bruno Song is a farmer!"

   "Not interviewed by the media?"

   Anderson shook his head a little dazedly when asked. He didn't know how Anderson asked this. He is a good player in technology, but when it comes to the twists and turns here, he can't compare to Jim.

  Jim Clark shook his head with a smile, he had already guessed the routine played by Yahoo.

   "What did you find, Jim?" Anderson couldn't help but ask Jim, who was not in a hurry.

Jim looked at Anderson, who was still a little tender, "If I'm not wrong, Yahoo didn't come up with any revenue agreement with DoubleClick, and the $45 million in revenue was also called by Yahoo, DoubleClick. No sign of anything?!"

   Anderson couldn't help but be stunned. He was just not familiar with routines. Hearing Jim's words, Anderson couldn't help exclaiming, "Is Yahoo like Netscape, how dare they...?"

Anderson felt that Netscape was bold enough. In order to go public, he shouted out millions of dollars in digital advertising revenue. This is outrageous. Yahoo is even more ruthless. Ready to cut hard.

   "Jim," Anderson said with a twinkle in his eyes, and said to Jim Clark, "you said we should release news..."

   "Don't move for the time being," Netscape shot at this time, it would definitely disgust Yahoo, but Jim Clark didn't want to make extra trouble, "Now everything is dominated by Netscape's listing!"

   "We are Netscape. When Netscape goes public and we free up our hands, whether it's Yahoo, other competitors, or DoubleClick, it's not a problem for Netscape!" Jim Clark said with strong confidence.

Now Netscape is indeed the leader of the Internet industry. Jim Clark naturally has countermeasures against the faint threat of Yahoo. Netscape is now the largest traffic portal in America. As long as the built-in Yahoo search is canceled, Yahoo will lose money. A large amount of traffic, Jim is sure to let Yahoo bow its head.

Song Yang doesn't care about the undercurrents between Yahoo and Netscape. Right now, this has nothing to do with Song Yang. Whether it's Netscape or Yahoo, there are investment institutions and consortia behind both sides. , Double-click the company is to drink soup behind and act as two tools to increase the valuation...

In San Jose, Song Yang stayed for two days and selected a few lots. He called Song Yang from Houston. Joetus and Wang An's company had already arrived in Houston. Song Yang did not expect Joetus. It came so quickly that I had to choose two lots and hurriedly return to Houston.

After getting on the plane, Song Yang thought about the gains of this trip. Apart from the two parcels of land in San Jose, the biggest gain was the 5% stake in Yahoo. When Yahoo was at its peak, this stake would be close to 6 billion. Beautiful knife!

I just don't know how Cooger will explain to the Wall Street directors of Yahoo, and will they be kicked out ahead of time. Those vampires on Wall Street don't care what Cooger did in the past, as long as the media reports it, it's him. Agree to exchange the equity with Double Click Company, and then Cooger will definitely be troubled by the directors of Wall Street.

   Sitting on the plane, Song Yang was also thinking about the double-click company now, and continuously ceded the equity, so that the equity of the double-click company in Song Yang's hands also decreased in a straight line.

Transferred 25% of the shares to WPP Group, and exchanged 13% with Yahoo. It seems that Song Yang still has 62% of the shares, which seems to be a lot, but then until the double-click company goes public, Song Yang will continue to take out of equity.
