Back to 1995

As for what Brian Roberts said, if he believed everything, he might be sold, and even counted the money for the Roberts family.

But Song Yang is still interested in joining forces with Comcast Group again. The Bruno family and the North American Global Investment Foundation also need allies. Some things, if Song Yang does it directly, may cause an uproar, such as... another acquisition For a media giant like Disney, it is estimated that as soon as Song Yang heard the news, the donkey party was about to blow up!

But if it is an "ally" to buy, let Comcast buy Disney, then there is no problem.

Of course, before the cooperation, Song Yang also needs to reach an agreement with Brian Roberts, so that the North American Global Investment Foundation and the Bruno family can invest in Comcast Group, and they must not raise an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. , and was finally bitten back.

In addition to acquiring Disney or other media giants, Comcast Group can also be used to enter other fields, or deal with some things that are not easy to sell directly.

It's like trying to create a public opinion. If the media camp under ICQ is directly involved, the job will be too rough. Once or twice is okay, but every time it is biased, the people who eat melons probably won't be able to stand it.

At this time, if another media giant comes down to uphold justice, and ICQ's media camp beats the side drum again, it will definitely muddy the water.

To join hands with Comcast Group, we must pay attention to balance, so that Brian Roberts and Comcast Group can get some benefits. No one wants to do a loss-making business, but there must be someone who can trap it Only the reins can be used, so you don't have to work for nothing, and it's easy to feed, but it turns out to be cheap for others.

After sending invitations to major acquirers, ICQ once again became the focus of the technology industry. Numerous gossips spread, and the most popular one was that whoever gets the Skype platform will become the next new giant of the Internet social networking industry , this rumor is quite a bit like relying on the sky to slay the dragon. It is rumored in the world that if you get these two things, you can become the No. 1 martial arts. Now the American technology industry is also rumored. It seems that whoever gets the Skype platform is only one step away from the social giant. away!

Since its establishment, ICQ has always been one of the focuses of the Internet industry in America. It has never left the center of the stage. It has experienced the era of Internet hegemony between Netscape and Microsoft, and it has also experienced competition with Yahoo, AOL, Lycos, Excite, etc. It was also the time when the Internet was the craziest. It was also one of the few surviving giants after the Internet bubble burst, and it rose again in a short period of time. If you want to say who can represent the changes in Silicon Valley in recent years, then... very ICQ is none other than!

But today, many media and reporters from America and even overseas gathered in front of the ICQ headquarters building, and the ICQ headquarters building was surrounded by water.

Of course, ICQ is also worthy of its current status. The world’s largest Internet giant is also the group with the highest market value in America. The media are discussing it fiercely, both the commander-in-chief and Capitol Hill are paying attention, and the heat is comparable to the battle of the commander-in-chief, but ICQ is now qualified to attract the attention of various media!
A car drove up one after another, and big figures came down from above. The first person to arrive was Ballmer, who came with a large group of Microsoft executives.

As soon as he got out of the car, Ballmer trotted towards the ICQ headquarters building, as if he couldn't wait to take Skype back to Seattle.

Still a reporter, he grabbed Ballmer quickly, "President Ballmer, I'm David, a reporter from the New York Times, and I interviewed you before!"

Looking at the reporter in front of him, Ballmer remembered who the other party was, and finally stopped. At the beginning of his tenure, he also carried out a lot of public relations. The reporter in front of him once shouted for Microsoft in the New York Times, boasting that only Ballmer Silence can save Microsoft.

Seeing that Ballmer was willing to be interviewed, the New York Times reporter quickly asked Ballmer, "President Ballmer, can you tell me how much Microsoft is willing to pay for the acquisition of Skype? !"

"This is a secret!"

Ballmer looked at a large group of cameras gathered, "However, what I can say is that Skype will eventually be affixed with Microsoft's Logo, as long as Song is willing to sell it!"

"Wow!"

The many media and reporters around the side couldn't help but burst into an uproar when they heard Ballmer's humorous but domineering words. Ballmer's words were almost equivalent to shouting out directly. To get the Skype platform.

After finishing speaking, Ballmer trotted towards the ICQ headquarters building again. It seemed that as long as he went in first, Skype would be in Microsoft's pocket. Similarly, although he has not yet owned his own NBA team, the outside world predicts that this is only a matter of time. Given Ballmer's love for professional basketball, he will sooner or later acquire a professional basketball team of his own to enrich himself. Large toy library.

After Ballmer, what attracted the attention of the media again was that he looked handsome, but was called a wolf from Silicon Valley by the media. He led the acquisition of more than 69 companies and once gave Cisco a market value of 5792 billion US dollars, but now only Cisco President John Chambers with a $[-] annual salary.

Like Jotus and countless executives in the computer hardware industry in America, Chambers is also from Wang An Computer. To a certain extent, Wang An Computer has a huge impact on the American computer industry. Together with IBM, Trained a large number of top engineers and professional managers.

As with Ballmer, many media reporters also surrounded Chambers, asking him various questions, and even narrated to Chambers what Ballmer had said domineeringly slipped just now.

But for the fanning of the media and reporters, Chambers still had a smile on his face, showing the demeanor of America's top professional managers.

"I hate predictions, the truth can only be known when the mystery is truly revealed!"

Chambers stabbed someone with a soft knife, which sounded soft and not as aggressive as what Ballmer said just now, but he also responded to Ballmer's wave, saying that he was too happy!
Although there was no direct confrontation, the interviews of top professional managers such as Ballmer and Chambers still showed their different styles vividly. The ratings of the big professional managers are sure to explode.

After Ballmer and Chambers, the heads of other major companies interested in acquiring Skype also came to the scene one after another. For News Corporation, although Murdoch did not come in person, he also sent his right-hand man, the chief operating officer of News Corporation. Officer Cali and Chief Financial Officer Devoy came.

In addition, Brian Roberts of Comcast Group, who was angry at Yanjing, Yahoo President Semel who had just returned to America, representatives of Blackstone Investment, Bain Investment, Telephone and Telegraph Group and other companies attended the scene one after another. , there are still some personnel from small and medium-sized companies coming, but it is basically impossible to compete with Microsoft, Cisco, and News Corporation, just to join in the fun.

As soon as Chambers entered the meeting room, he heard Ballmer's iconic laugh, and he was talking happily with Song Yang. When he passed by, he heard Ballmer dance and say, "Song, this year you The Rockets, I’m afraid they will miss the championship again, the performance of the Rockets in the NBA is not as good as that of your Yankees in the NFL!"

Unlike after the Yankees were acquired by Song Yang, with Song Yang’s heavy investment and the Stanbury family’s painstaking efforts over the years, the Yankees immediately started their dynasty and established their own three consecutive years in the rugby league. The Crown Dynasty, after the Rockets were acquired, started the road of reconstruction. The record was not very good for two consecutive years, and they swooped all the way to the No. [-] pick.

Song Yang smiled indifferently, "The Rockets are rebuilding, as long as it is still in the hands of the Bruno family, sooner or later they will be able to win the championship!"

Song Yang's words made Ballmer's smile stagnate. Even if the Rockets don't win the championship for ten years, anyway, the team is in Song Yang's hands. It's not an unbearable loss, but Ballmer can only watch...

"If President Ballmer needs it, Bruno Yankee Sports can help President Ballmer buy an NBA team!"

"Why don't you add me!"

Before Ballmer responded, another voice came, and then Ballmer saw Chambers.
