Back to 1995

Chapter 1196
Hearing Song Yang mention that the Internet industry will enter a new era, and the mobile Internet era will come, Wesley's expression is marked, and the mobile Internet era has been blowing up many years ago.

At that time, it was started by American Telecom. At that time, American Telecom launched the ring back tone service, which made the Internet a spring breeze for the mobile Internet for the first time. Up to now, the ring tone is also one of the most important benefits of telecommunications companies, record companies, and singers. .

However, after the CRBT, the mobile Internet industry did not cause much waves. Only Xueleshan game has made some achievements in the mobile game industry. This "small" game has earned more than 4 million US dollars for the Symbian system company, and it has shown a continuous gold-absorbing ability. The gold-absorbing ability has not declined with time, but the more users Come more!

However, except for Xue Leshan, the rest of the game manufacturers have not taken advantage of mobile games. This makes the wind of the mobile Internet not blowing violently now, and there will be a little hype from time to time, but it has not become the mainstream. .

But today, when Song Yang said these words, Wesley felt that, maybe, the spring of the mobile Internet is really coming...

"America Telecom's 3G communication technology has matured. Next year at the latest, the 3G network will be officially launched. By then, the era of mobile Internet will be officially opened."

Song Yang revealed to Wesley the wind, but Wesley also heard another meaning from Song Yang's words, that is, the Alcatel P5 flagship mobile phone that was blown into the sky was not a 3G mobile phone, which made Wesley For a moment, his eyes couldn't help but become weird. He didn't know what kind of gadgets were on the P5.

"In addition to several products such as LinkedIn, Facebook, INS, and Burn After Reading, ICQ needs to jointly develop cloud computing and big data technologies with Fortinet, and launch a new video website Youtube with Western Films!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Wesley was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that Song Yang was planning to launch so many projects, and ICQ's research and development and technical personnel were probably far from enough.

With so many projects, the research and development funds to be invested are also a large amount. With the support of Song Yang, Wesley's technology cannot, of course, it can get funding, but ICQ has so many departments and personnel now, the technology department takes With more funds, other departments will definitely be less. It is estimated that there will be a headache for Wesley at that time.

Kirk McMillan, who was sitting in front of the computer, was unconsciously manipulating a string of codes, looking at Wesley's office from time to time.

After waiting for a full hour, the door of Wesley's office was finally pushed open. After Song Yang left, Wesley walked out of the office and greeted Kirk McMillan and other senior staff from the technical department who were waiting outside. Guan called into the office.

After a while, Kirk McMillan came out with a full face of excitement. Wesley explained the tasks to the executives of the technical department, and Kirk McMillan was responsible for recruiting more technical personnel.

Wesley didn't say why he wanted to recruit so many technicians, but Kirk McMillan could tell that ICQ was about to make another big move, otherwise there would be no need to recruit so many people. The salary paid is one of the best in Silicon Valley. With so many people recruited, the salary paid every month is a large sum of money. ICQ will definitely not support so many people for nothing!
After leaving from Wesley, Song Yang came to Irene's office in a familiar way. Naturally, there was an office belonging to Song Yang in the building beside the ICQ headquarters, but the number of times Song Yang went there was far less than that of Ai Lin. Lin's office times.

Marcus, Greck, and several North American Global Investment Fund executives and consultants who are proficient in finance, legal affairs, and taxation gathered here.

Seeing Song Yang coming in, Marcus handed several documents to Song Yang, "The mid-year performance, ICQ's estimated profit can reach 200 billion US dollars, and it is expected to distribute 52 billion US dollars to shareholders!"

This is the proceeds from the sale of the Skype platform, which has just been sold, and is also added to ICQ's profit. This makes ICQ's account have a cash flow of nearly 200 billion US dollars. Such a large amount of US dollars is not in the account. What a waste.

And there are many ways to take away this beautiful knife, such as buying several unknown broken companies at high prices, buying overseas investment funds, and finally losing all money, etc., but these eating looks are a bit ugly, and the dividends are simple and rude. If there are too many, it is clear that the money will be divided. How can I drop it? !

Although ICQ still owes a lot of debt, it does not prevent ICQ from paying a huge dividend to make the performance of the first half of the year look very glamorous. A one-time dividend of 26% of the profit will be returned to all investors of ICQ, as the major shareholder , Song Yang's North American Global Investment Fund, of course, has to take the bulk of it.

If it weren't for the scruples, the North American Global Investment Fund would be able to take the more than 200 billion U.S. dollars, and continue to let ICQ go forward with heavy debts. There is no penny in the account, and the whole f*ck lives on debt. Anyway, don't worry if you have too much debt.

The technology giants of later generations in America have a market value of tens of trillions of dollars at every turn. To maintain such a high stock price, the most important thing is to rely on two tricks. They don’t pay dividends, which makes investors scold their mothers, but Jobs doesn’t have any shares in Apple, so he doesn’t worry at all, but in the Cook era, Apple can pay dividends of 200 billion dollars a year. Buying Apple stocks is even higher than depositing bank interest. , Of course, it has attracted countless leeks to buy Apple stocks. They buy Apple stocks as a hedging and investment.

Another trick is to repurchase stocks. Rare things are more expensive. The fewer stocks, the more concentrated they are, and the more expensive the price. Astronomical figures.

There are also technology companies in America that engage in show operations. In order to pay dividends, they borrow directly from banks, use the borrowed dollars to pay dividends and buy back stocks to maintain high stock prices, and then issue a batch of new stocks to cut leeks. Relying on the issuance of high-priced stocks to cash out, not only did they repay the bank's loans, but they also made a fortune. They work too!

Compared with those companies that play tricks, Song Yang has actually restrained himself, at least he didn't cut leeks too hard.

Song Yang glanced at the document, and then put it aside. Marcus and these financial and legal experts came here today to avoid possible troubles. They must not be able to pick out anything they have formulated.

"In addition to the excessive dividends, buy back a batch of stocks, and the rest of the dollars will be used for the research and development of new projects!"

Song Yang explained to Irene and Marcus that when cutting leeks, you can’t cut off the roots of the leeks, you still have to leave some roots. What’s important is to cut a crop, water the leeks, and give the leeks hope. OK, so that there will be a steady stream of leeks growing out.

When the Skype platform was finished, Bruno's private jet, carrying a large group of Bruno family members, flew towards Kentucky.
