Back to 1995

Immelt really didn't want to beat the dog with meat buns anymore. In the several contests with Song Yang, he never took advantage of it. Not to mention, Immelt himself was messed up.

But if you want to avoid Song Yang completely, just like this time in the space industry, Immelt can't do it. In order to prevent General Electric from completely falling behind the ranks of rocket engines, this time he can only bite the bullet and try to win with the tiger again. !

Celebrities gathered at the banquet in Houston, and the atmosphere was extremely noisy. This is Song Yang's lair, and more or less people came here. People who have a stake in Song Yang will naturally not make troubles.

Apollo Space Exploration Company is the protagonist of today's banquet, but there are more people around Song Yang, just like when Song Yang first debuted, Song Yang hoped to get some resources from those "big men", but today, The same is true for these people present, as long as Song Yang leaks some resources from his hands, it will be enough for them to eat as much as they want!

The Bruno family is not entrenched in Houston and Texas, but over the years, it has extended its hands into multiple industries in Texas, especially after taking over the energy business legacy of the Enron Group, allowing Bruno The strength of the family in Texas has been improved to a higher level. Naturally, more people are rushing to join the big ship of the Bruno family!
Song Yang had just drank two glasses of wine. Today, after the successful launch of the rocket, Gwen Shotwell, who was officially appointed as the CEO and President of Operations of Apollo Space Exploration Corporation, walked quickly to Song Yang.

Although Gwen Shotwell was considered to have monopolized the power of the Apollo company before, she had no real name, and a president might be parachuted onto her head at any time to dictate to her, but now Gwen Shotwell does not need to worry about these Yes, from now on, she will also become one of the American female professional managers who are as famous as ICQ President Irene, eBay President Whitman, HP President Fiorina and others!

Hearing Gwen Shotwell's words, Song Yang couldn't help showing a little surprised expression, "General Electric?!"

Song Yang didn't expect that the successful launch of the "Houston" this time would attract so many people into the pit, and even General Electric, which had finally climbed out of the pit, couldn't help but jump in again.

"Tell President Immelt, Apollo Space Exploration Corporation, to agree to a partnership with General Electric!"

Since General Electric delivered to the door again by itself, and the posture was set, Song Yang would be sorry for General Electric's door-to-door delivery if he didn't cut him down!

General Electric's engine technology is something that Song Yang has been coveting for a long time. If Apollo Space Exploration Company came to ask for cooperation with General Electric, I don't know how much effort it will take, and it may not be possible. Now General Electric offers Come out to cooperate, how could Song Yang miss it.

Of course, Apollo Space Exploration Corporation and General Electric jointly developed a new rocket engine. Both sides have their own ideas. Apollo Space Exploration Corporation must want to obtain General Electric’s engine technology, and General Electric wants to become the Apollo Space Exploration Corporation. The company's rocket engine supplier, relying on the Apollo Space Exploration Company, took the opportunity to get the rocket launch market, and whoever can have the last laugh on both sides depends on who has the best skills.

"Song, congratulations to Apollo Space, Microsoft will always support Apollo Space Exploration, Apollo's new round of investment, Microsoft is willing to continue to subscribe for the shares of Apollo Space!"

After General Electric, Microsoft President Ballmer also called Song Yang. Microsoft is the second largest shareholder of Apollo Space, holding more than 15% of the shares!
At that time, Paul Allen established the Stratospheric Launch Company and wanted to bring Microsoft into the space industry, but Bill Gates would rather invest in Song Yang’s Apollo Space Company than join forces with Paul Allen again, or Bill Gates Gates didn't like Paul Allen's investment vision, or the two still had disagreements, but the investment back then has now become a stroke of genius.

Investing in Apollo Space Company was a decision made by Bill Gates back then, but now that Microsoft is headed by Ballmer, he naturally accepted this gift package with a smile.

Today, when the market was about to close, Microsoft rushed to catch up. The news that Microsoft is the second largest shareholder of Apollo Space Company was released through the media. .

"Of course no problem, Apollo Space Exploration Company, willing to continue to cooperate with Microsoft!"

Song Yang agreed directly. Microsoft is still Song Yang's biggest "ally" in the technology industry. Other companies in the American technology industry hate Microsoft, but Microsoft has cooperated with Song Yang for so many years, but they have always been "good" "Brother" ah, if you have something to do, you can really handle it by yourself, and you can do it with incomparable generosity. Even Netscape is only a shell of a brand, and Microsoft can pay 13 billion dollars to buy it from Song Yang, and now it is going to give it to Apollo The space company sends money, what else is Song Yang dissatisfied with Microsoft? !
Everyone else can scold Microsoft, but Song Yang can't. In the future, Skype or other companies will continue to sell to Microsoft, the big brother!

"Song, you and Microsoft are allies and will always be in the future!"

Ballmer's hearty laughter came over the phone, with some hints in his words.

After hanging up the phone, Ballmer was in a good mood. Since he took over Microsoft, he has helped Microsoft survive the biggest crisis and settled the antitrust lawsuit. One of the mainframes, Microsoft's "living room strategy" has begun to take effect, the stock price is booming, and his equity rewards, bonuses, and dividends are also coming in one after another.

Now, the Apollo space company invested by Microsoft is about to become a new technology "darling", and it is expected that Microsoft's stock price will rise sharply. Now Microsoft is slowly recovering from the serious injury caused by someone. These... ...all thanks to Ballmer!

Under such a premise, although there has always been a voice within Microsoft, Microsoft will stand up and fight with Symbian in the mobile operating system industry to regain the dominance of the mobile operating system. The leader of the technology industry, but Ballmer is unmoved.

Ballmer is not willing to turn against Song Yang directly. He is cooperating with Song Yang very well now, and he is not like Bill Gates, who insists on competing for the No. 1 title in the technology industry.

Microsoft is cooperating with Song Yang in many industries. Like Apollo Space Company, there are still several companies that can bring rich returns to Microsoft. It plummeted, and in the end, maybe he was kicked out of power and made someone cheaper for nothing...

The first successful launch of the Apollo Space Exploration Company is a shock to the entire technology industry. Although it is only Xiaohe who is showing his sharp edge now, it is far from being able to say that the bragging in the past has become a reality. , but still let the space industry appear in front of everyone.

The biggest difference between one and zero is that zero means nothing and no possibility. If you want to brag, you can’t fool leeks, but one represents infinite possibilities. Not far away!
The successful launch of the Apollo Space Company rocket this time has stimulated many giant companies to enter the market, and various companies under the guise of private space companies have also begun to emerge in endlessly, no matter whether they are purely selling sheep and trying to make money like in the Internet age. For a sum of money, it is really going to be a showdown with Apollo Space Company, and the entire space industry suddenly becomes lively.

Companies like those satellite and rocket-related parts and components have all received dividends this time around. Boeing, Pratt & Whitney and other companies have all been caught off guard. Microsoft’s stock prices have continued to soar because of its investment in Apollo Space. As the instigator, Apollo Luo Space Company, how could it not get a bonus!
On the second day after the successful launch of the rocket, Apollo Space Corporation announced that it had reached a cooperation with General Electric, and received joint investment from General Electric, Microsoft, and the Abu Dhabi Consortium of the Middle East oil country, with a total investment of US$16 billion. Knife in exchange for a 13% stake in Apollo Space Exploration, that is, Apollo Space, which only launched one rocket satellite, has a valuation of more than [-] billion US dollars in the blink of an eye.

The previous valuation of Apollo Space Company was only 26 billion US dollars. Microsoft exchanged 4 million US dollars for a 15% stake in Apollo Space Company. In this wave, the valuation of Apollo Space Company has already started like a rocket. Soaring, the entire technology industry is a little jealous, the promised technology industry is now in a recession, why does Apollo Space Company not follow the routine? !
