Back to 1995

Chapter 1138
This time, unlike what Martin Solo said before, it seems that it can never be questioned. Martin Solo's voice can make Song Yang feel Martin Solo's state of mind at the moment.

"Song!"

Martin Solo breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that he would lose face and pay a painful price this time, he still tried his best to maintain the majesty of his advertising tsar.

"Song, I hope that I can meet you as soon as possible, I..."

Although he was mentally prepared to ask for help from the "rookie" he had selected, but for Martin Solo, who is so proud by nature, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has no grudges in his heart at this time.

Before Martin Solo finished speaking, Song Yang said directly, "President Martin, you know that I also have the Bruno family, and I will always support you!"

Song Yang is not a person like Robert Quarta, he must lose the last trace of face to Sir Martin. Song Yang hopes to use Martin Solo to let Double-Click get a controlling stake in WPP Group, and it is not Wanted Martin's old life.

Martin Solo was on the other end of the phone. When he heard Song Yang's words, he couldn't help but understand for a while, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Each save a bit of face.

When hanging up the phone, Chuck Rhodes, the head of Houston who was sitting beside Song Yang, looked towards Song Yang, and he felt that Song Yang seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Mayor Chuck, for today's game, the Bruno family is willing to add another 50 dollars in prize money!"

Now the Stampede, which is about to be held, is the most intense and popular horse racing competition. Not only the horse racers from Texas, but also horse racers from other states in America, and even from overseas, have gathered here to participate in the competition. One of the most-watched contests of the entire Stampede.

Originally, the prize money of this race was pushed to more than one million dollars by sponsors, TV stations, and gaming companies, which attracted so many horse racers and BMWs to the scene.

When Chuck Rhodes stood up and announced the news of Song Yang's additional bonus to the audience and players, the whole scene suddenly burst into violent cheers.

Already starting to take their positions in front of the track, the already excited contestants are even more excited at this time. After all, today’s race is only 2000 meters away, and they can be finished in two or three minutes at a fast pace. How can a bonus of 3 million dollars not make people excited!

"The Pets brand, once the largest pet platform in America, which has gone bankrupt, has recently announced that it has been acquired!"

The Oakland Tribune reported a piece of news that the Pets Pet Company, which declared bankruptcy, had returned to life with a dead body.

There is nothing unusual about this at first. It is not uncommon for American companies to go bankrupt and then resurrect their corpses. The Pets company is also considered to be famous for a while. In addition to the popularity of the brand, it is indeed worth some money. It is normal for people to buy it. .

But then the Oakland Tribune broke the news, which made many people in Silicon Valley and Wall Street look sideways.

"The one who acquired Pets was Evan Spiegel from ICQ. He was once considered by the outside world to be an important ICQ executive, but he has recently announced his resignation from ICQ!

According to reliable news, Evan Spiegel acquired Pets Company, and got the support of ICQ and Bruno Song. The new Pets pet platform has already received 450 million US dollars in venture capital, with a valuation of more than 1000 two million dollars!

Will the new Internet pet platform come back again? Will Pets return to Nasdaq? ! "

Before Christmas, the news suddenly released by the Oakland Tribune made many people think about it. Evan Spiegel alone is indeed famous, but it is not enough to affect the entire Internet world.

But with the investment of Song Yang and ICQ, the entire Internet industry dare not underestimate it. If the new Pets platform has no major changes, can it get Song Yang's support? !
The shadow of a famous tree, there are rumors related to Song Yang on the Internet, but don’t want too much. This time Song Yang has invested in the new Pets company. Who dares to say that the new Pets company will not stand up again in the future. Far more than ever!
"I have said that Pets Company is not a scam. Facts will prove everything. Although I have left Pets Company now, I still want to say that I did not deceive everyone..."

Julie Wainwright, the former president of Pets, also appeared in the media with tears in her eyes. As the president of Pets when it went bankrupt, she was also rated as one of the "Top Ten Worst Presidents in the World" by the media. Among the worst presidents, there is also Bronfman Jr., the president of ICQ at the time...

Julie Wainwright is one of the many unlucky people after the Nasdaq crash, and she is also the one who blamed her. Most of the blame for the bankruptcy of Pets Company was on her. Her husband even divorced her. Two years ago, Wen Lai It's just unlucky. It's unlucky to open the door. It's just unlucky!
Now that the new Pets company has appeared, although it has nothing to do with Julie Wainwright, she still couldn't help jumping out, trying to explain a few words, telling the outside world that she committed non-war crimes before, although no one paid attention at all.

However, just after Julie Wainwright spoke, ICQ once again made a $110 million investment in The RealReal, a second-hand luxury goods trading platform that Julie Wainwright had just established. Julie Wainwright crazily touted ICQ's investment vision on her Twitter.

ICQ's investment in her second-hand luxury goods platform company is not about how much money is invested, but to express an attitude to the outside world, that is, Julie Wainwright, a former "sinner" in the Internet industry, is still worth investing in. This investment I don't know how many troubles I helped Julie Wainwright solve.

The world's largest online luxury trading platform is undoubtedly the RICK trading platform that is still under development and will not be launched until next year. Even if it has not yet launched, it is already recognized as the world's largest online luxury No commodity trading platform, whether it is Amazon or ebay, can't challenge its position!

Because the RICK trading platform is backed by the supply and support of RICK and LVMH, two of the world's three major luxury goods groups, who can beat the RICK trading platform where the referee personally exits? !
It’s urgent, the RICK platform can really play phishing law enforcement, let people buy luxury goods from other trading platforms, and then sue those trading platforms for selling luxury goods.

After all, luxury goods are produced by companies such as RICK and LVMH Group, and the right to appraise luxury goods is in the hands of the Global Luxury Association dominated by RICK. If RICK says it is fake, can it still become real? !

Really playing fishing and law enforcement. Except for the RICK platform, other trading platforms that dare to sell luxury goods are waiting for huge fines and compensation. Who dares to compete with RICK for business? The RICK trading platform is basically unique. The kind of business that has no competitors at all.

At most, there are a few second-hand luxury goods trading platforms established by Julie Wainwright, so that luxury goods can have a distribution channel, but the luxury goods sold by Julie Wainwright must also be authorized by the Global Luxury Association. Appraisal labels, every time a luxury item is sold, RICK has to pay a luxury tax. No, it is the appraisal fee. If you don’t pay, it is a fake. more!

In addition to the new Pets company, which has attracted some attention, another thing that has attracted attention is that it has been "obscure". It is the third announcement to issue new shares and bonds. The reason why this time attracts attention is because the scale is too large. Double-click will issue new shares and bonds worth US$16 billion in total. Then borrowed more than 22 billion dollars from banks and investment institutions, and the total funds raised exceeded 38 billion dollars!

But you must know that in the past few months alone, Double-Click has issued new shares many times in a row through various clever names, and raised more than US$14 billion. In addition to the scale of this time, if this fundraising is successful, then It means that the double-click company has raised more than 52 billion US dollars in the past six months, but the current market value of the double-click company is only 80 billion US dollars, which is almost a sale of itself. Even if you really sell yourself, I'm afraid they may not be able to sell for 50 billion dollars!

Double-clicking the company's "heinous" operation made the outside world lose their voices, and everyone was obviously shocked.

"Double-clicking companies is already insane!"

A Wall Street institutional analyst couldn't help commenting, "Double-Click is crazy now, it's a completely different kind of cash-out, although Double-Click announced that it has major plans, but I don't know what kind of The plan needs to raise so many dollars, and what double-click needs to use to repay so many debts, unless its major shareholder can stand up and is willing to provide guarantees for Double-click and take on those debts!"

This remark is obviously a bit of accusation against Sang. No one on the Internet knows who the founder and major shareholder of Double Double are. He also aggressively took back the shares sold by Double-click, eBay, and Feita. Up to now, Song Yang is still the largest shareholder of Double-click.

Now this Wall Street analyst is scolding Song Yang for being too ugly to eat, and he doesn’t cut leeks like this, so he loses his face. Although other Internet companies also want to play like this, if they can be like Song Yang, If they cash in so many dollars, they will definitely be willing to do it. After all, how much is a face worth? !
