Back To 1995

   Chapter 57 Take the lead, big brother

Wesley, who was preparing for a big fight, heard Song Yang's words and immediately said, "As long as the funds can be guaranteed, the technicians sent by Wang An's company, plus the development engineers we recruited, will take two months. It is enough to complete the development of Hotmail mailboxes!"

  E-mail, to put it bluntly, is not a difficult product. Hotmail is also superior in creativity and ideas, which is far beyond the current e-mail products.

In addition, like the DART system of Double Click Company, Song Yang has already told Wesley about the design requirements and structure of the Hotmail mailbox. What he wants to do is the same as the original Bledsoe Jayden. programming bulls and horses.

   If he can't do this well, then his project leader, Song Yang's chief technology development officer, can pack up and leave.

   "The instant messaging ICQ project should also be done quickly. This project should be kept secret, and time should be expedited. When the Hotmail mailbox project is completed, you will take people to Silicon Valley!"

  Song Yang explained to Wesley that compared to Hotmail, Song Yang values ​​ICQ more. This is Song Yang's first step in the field of Internet social networking.

As long as you occupy the social industry and have this first step, then with the huge user base and the development of Internet technology, you will launch Facebook, Twitter, INS, LinkedIn, Flash after reading, WhatsAPP, etc. A number of social products are things that go smoothly.

   Hearing Song Yang's request for the ICQ project, Wesley's face paled a little. Because of confidentiality, he couldn't publicize it, and even recruiting developers was done privately.

   However, the level and quantity of local technicians in Houston is not on the same level as that of Silicon Valley. This makes the development progress of the ICQ project not a mile or a half slower than that of Hotmail.

  Wesley can only hope that ICQ's project will be accelerated after arriving in Silicon Valley.

   After signing the agreement with Song Yang, Joe Tus left in a low-key manner and did not make a public statement. Not too many people even knew about Wang An's headquarters, in order to avoid attracting too many people's attention.

An investment of several million dollars, for a strong president like Chotus, is just a matter of signing a letter, and there is no need to explain it to the board of directors. .

   However, with the receipt of five million dollars from Wang An's company and the addition of dozens of technicians, the entire Hotmail mailbox project began to develop rapidly.

   During this period of time, Song Yang was basically busy at the Harbour Building, dealing with the double-click company, and staring at the Hotmail mailbox and ICQ.

   The other is to take the time to go to Devers School for a transfer, mainly to hang out with Jenny, and to choose a suitable university.

   As for America's Internet industry, there is still a lot of turmoil. During this time, new companies in Silicon Valley, like leeks, have emerged one after another, and Silicon Valley and Wall Street are also wildly touting the concept of the Internet.

Yahoo has developed the concept of a portal website, which has been touted wildly by several major investment and venture capital institutions behind it. TV stations, magazines, newspapers, buses, and the iconic buildings of America have all shown Yahoo and Yang Zhiyuan, Yang Zhiyuan "the chief of Yahoo!" "The identity of the gods has been circulated wildly around the world through major media, and a new generation of god-building movement has begun.

Double-click has also followed this spring breeze, and its valuation has risen. Now the valuation of Double-click by Silicon Valley and Wall Street has exceeded 85 million US dollars. It is more than 30%, although it is false, but it is really exciting to watch.

   At this time, there was a news from Netscape that attracted the attention of the entire America and even the global Internet industry. Netscape will be officially listed on August 9, 1995!

   This undoubtedly detonated public opinion again. Netscape, the current leader in the Internet industry, went public, and the listing of Netscape represented the recognition of the Internet industry by the global investment industry.

   Its performance after its listing is also related to the Internet industry, whether it can be recognized by the mainstream society!

   "This is Netscape's listing invitation?!"

In Song Yang's newly purchased villa, Hai Li curiously flipped through the invitation letter sent by Netscape to Song Yang. As an important "partner" of Netscape, Song Yang was naturally invited this time. Stark Hall, to witness the moment of Netscape's "Conferred God".

   Song Yang embraced Jenny, who was curled up in his arms like a cat, and nodded casually. Today, there will be a big party here to celebrate Song Yang's newly purchased villa.

   "Are you going to participate?" Jenny raised her head and asked Song Yang. In her mind, going public was a high-level event. Jenny never expected that Netscape would invite Song Yang to participate.

   "Go, of course you will, maybe it will be a day to witness history!" Song Yang raised his brows and said.

As far as Song Yang knows, he is not the only one who has received the invitation this time. Netscape has released hero posts this time, and famous people in the Internet industry have all been invited by Netscape. Netscape wants to establish the "Netscape Gang". Establishing Netscape's position in the Internet industry, Song Yang would not be in trouble with Jim Clark and Mark Anderson at this time.

   But taking the lead is not so easy to take the lead, the gun is the first bird, the more Netscape is in the limelight, the more it attracts the attention of giants such as Microsoft, and Song Yang is convenient to take advantage of both sides...

   "Then do you want to go alone?!" Jenny got tired of her voice and tried her best to get into Song Yang's arms.

  Song Yang felt the hint of the big cream cake in his arms. He didn't know what Jenny meant, "If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to New York..."

   Looking at Song Yang and Jenny who were tired of being together, Haili threw the invitation sticker over and scolded a bitch, but she was also envious of Jenny.

On the day that Netscape went public, it must be a big man with a lot of money, and it is also the focus of many media chases. If he can appear on the scene, it will definitely be photographed by many media. The big people in Silicon Valley and Wall Street make connections, so there are not many opportunities to make contacts.

   But that's just envy. Haili is quite satisfied with her life now. Compared with the past, she could only be a small transparent wild model. Now that she has Haili, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

   There is a relationship between the double-click company, some small advertisements, graphic models and other positions, Hailey can choose at will, which makes Hailey's wallet swell up quickly.

   In addition, due to the cooperation between Double Click Company and WPP Group, and the promotion of some small and medium-sized brands in Houston, Haili is also expected to become the spokesperson of these small and medium-sized brands, which she never dared to imagine before.

The little sisters in the past have basically started to surround Haili now. Only Haili has a saddle head. It can be seen from today's party. Haili called and half of the models in Houston gave them. came over.

For Haili, what she expects most now is the Hollywood movie in Song Yang's mouth. The project can be quickly approved, so that Haili can enter the Hollywood gilding. In that case, Haili's status in the Houston model and film and television industry must be completely different...

However, seeing more and more girls present, and those girls looking at Song Yang, accosting Song Yang for various reasons, or even pushing directly to Song Yang's side, Jenny was not in such a good mood, and watched with all eyes on guard. The girls on the party.

Jenny looked vigilantly at the girls who wanted to get close to Song Yang, and cursed "Bichi" in her heart, but the girls looked at the thief, preventing them from approaching Song Yang, the upstart Jenny in Houston. Jenny is also annoyed, and there are not many opportunities to approach millionaires!

   Seeing that Jenny was about to tear up with those little models, Song Yang pulled Jenny away.

   After having a drink on the balcony on the second floor, Song Yang and Jenny entered Song Yang's room in the villa.

  After honking for a while, Song Yang, who was sweating, pulled the quilt away, and Jenny lay down in front of Song Yang like a cat, "Song, are you really not going to enter the local university in Houston?"

  Although Song Yang has not yet chosen a university, he has already revealed to Jenny that he will choose a university other than Houston.

Looking at the big cream cake in his arms, Song Yang brushed away Jenny's hair stuck to his face, "I should choose a university in New York or San Francisco, but don't worry, I will come back to see you every month, when I have a chance , buy a private car to pick you up..."

   Hearing Song Yang's bullshit, Jenny was a little unconvinced, but her heart was still sweet, and then she took a bite towards Song Yang's heart.

  In the Harbour Building, after Song Yang finished dealing with the Double Click Company, he started to write the speech that he was going to use at the graduation ceremony of Devers School.

This is basically the same routine as before, but this time a lot of people heard that they went there, such as district councilor Adrian, Pastor Andrew and others, because of Song Yang, they will also be there, and Song Yang has to thank them all This is the rule of the rivers and lakes, and this kind of occasion is basically touting each other.

   At this moment, Irene suddenly came in and said to Song Yang, "Someone from the Enron Group will come today!"

   Hearing that An Ran's people were coming, Song Yang was stunned for a moment. He didn't want to get involved with An Ran's people, or even retreated. He didn't expect Anran's people to come over.

   "What are they coming for?" Song Yang said with a headache.

Irene looked at Song Yang strangely, wondering how Song Yang would have such an expression as if he had encountered the **** of plague when he heard the Anran Group, "The news from Anran, I heard that the advertising business will be handed over to next year's advertising business. Double click on the ad, and the ad business is over $4 million!"
