Chapter 1209 Memoirs

After being stunned, Kevin Kelly tentatively said to Song Yang, "Song, in fact, this video may not be released to the public. Wired magazine and the outside world believe in Song's determination with Alcatel..."

Kevin Kelly wanted to leave a way out for Song Yang. If this video interview was released, the impact would be too great. It would really affect the whole body. I don’t know how many companies , will be affected. For example, if ICQ’s stock price fluctuates, billions of dollars may be wiped out. I don’t know how many people will go to the rooftop again. Kevin Kelly also feels a lot of pressure.

Song Yang didn't accept Kevin Kelly's kindness, and waved his hand, "No, just post it!"

Kevin Kelly nodded after being silent. Since Song Yang has made a decision, there is no use for him to worry about it.

After receiving Song Yang's reply, Kevin Kelly felt that the subsequent interviews were unnecessary. The release of this interview alone was like launching a satellite in the technology industry. Look at what Song Yang said? !
Signaling for the photographer behind him to turn off the camera, Kevin Kelly said to Song Yang, "Song, there is one more thing, I hope to get your authorization, Wired magazine wants to make a film about the Internet in Silicon Valley." Memoirs, you are the character that cannot be avoided!"

Seeing Song Yang's surprised expression, Kevin Kelly quickly waved his hands and said, "Song, I know that your career in the technology industry may still be many years away. The Internet memoirs produced by Wired Magazine will only record the time before the turn of the century. I will also seek authorization from Jim Clark, Mark Anderson, Keith, Bill Gates, Yang Zhiyuan, and Jobs!"

Although Kevin Kelly mentioned the names of many big names, except for the early days of the Internet where the heroes competed for the throne, in the future, the most inescapable person in the Internet arena of Silicon Valley is Song Yang. If Song Yang’s authorization is not obtained , Wired magazine's memoir of the Silicon Valley Internet, simply can't continue to be produced.

Listening to Kevin Kelly's words, Song Yang knew that the memoir he was going to make could not be a regular record of the so-called Silicon Valley Internet wave. Yang, Bill Gates, Jobs, etc., as the editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine, Kevin Kelly has a good personal relationship with Song Yang, Jim Clark, Jobs, and others. It's just insider information. The Internet memoirs he edited would be unreasonable if they didn't break some news, otherwise he wouldn't need Song Yang's authorization at all.

"I am also looking forward to what kind of image I will appear in Kevin Kelly's Internet memoir!"

Song Yang took a sip of his drink, looked at Kevin Kelly and said, the latter had a smile on his face when he heard the words, he knew that Song Yang had agreed to authorize Wired Magazine, so he raised his glass and clinked a glass with Song Yang.

"You will know that it may break the stereotype of you from the outside world, but I guarantee that in my memoirs, your image will definitely be better than Bill Gates and Jobs!"

Song Yang nodded. In the future, Song Yang will also ask someone to concoct a memoir, but the memoir he wrote must be fundamentally different from the image that appeared in the memoir of a third party. I haven't heard of anyone Scolded himself in his memoirs.

Even if you don’t agree to authorize Kevin Kelly, sooner or later, other media, even veterans of the Internet, will compile the so-called Silicon Valley Internet memoirs, breaking the news about Silicon Valley for so many years. Rather than being out of control and appearing in other people's memoirs, it is better to authorize Kevin Kelly to give the outside world a preconceived impression.

"Kevin, I won't interfere with your memoir, but I hope that after this memoir is completed, it will be released by Time Warner Publishing Group, and the version of future memoirs, Time Warner Publishing Group, will be able to give priority to purchase!"

Song Yang took precautions and asked Kevin Kelly to hand over the completed American Internet Memoirs to Time Warner Publishing Group, a subsidiary of ICQ, for printing and distribution, so that he could more or less take some countermeasures for the memoirs in advance.

Kevin Kelly readily agreed. Song Yang didn't have a lot of black material on him. Back then, he stabbed Netscape back then, which was considered black material, but that was because Netscape was too arrogant. Jim Clark, who claims to be the leader of the Internet, thought To overwhelm others with power, let Song Yang side with Netscape, and finally broke up with Song Yang, Song Yang turned to cooperate with Microsoft, starting the countdown to Netscape's death.

Apart from this, the rest are rumors about Song Yang's private life, and companies such as ICQ, Double Click, Alcatel, etc. are "slightly" domineering, but there are perfect people in the world who can satisfy everyone? !

Except for the guy named Meidao, it is absolutely impossible for the rest to do this. Therefore, in Kevin Kelly's memoirs, even if Song Yang has black material, it is not far behind. He is not worried about Song Yang. Yang will block his memoirs.

After the interview was completed, Song Yang took Kevin Kelly to visit the collection room, small garden and other places in the manor, and finally had a family dinner in the manor, and then Kevin Kelly left, not in San Jose After waiting for a long time, he returned to the Wired magazine headquarters in San Francisco overnight. He needed to publish Song Yangde's interview as soon as possible.

In the same state of California, Sacramento is not far from San Jose. It only takes one and a half hours to drive there with the accelerator pedal. However, Antono Smith, the president of Smith Printing Company, dragged it for a few days , before reaching San Jose.

This is still the reason why it can’t go on. Antono Smith wanted to turn the big thing into a small thing. He didn’t want to lose face, so he came to San Jose to apologize to Alcatel mobile phone, but Smith Printing Company issued several copies of the apology. The faxes of apologies all went nowhere, and the Alcatel phone didn't respond at all.

Of course, he did not place another order with Smith Printing Company. Seeing that Alcatel mobile phones were selling like crazy and other mobile phone manufacturers were not interested, he placed an order with Smith Printing Company. Antono Smith finally arrived in a hurry. San Jose.

"What, Bruno Song doesn't want to see me?!"

Antono Smith stayed in a hotel in San Jose. As soon as he entered, he heard an executive sent to San Jose report a piece of news that annoyed him to Antono Smith. Song Yang confiscated it at all, and even Antono Smith’s request to live in the Bruno Family Club in the suburbs of San Jose did not get a response at all. You know, people from Alcatel’s mobile phone industry chain supplier came to San Jose. They can all stay at the Bruno Family Club for free.

The executive looked at the angry Antono Smith and opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say, so he could only keep silent.

After getting annoyed, Antono Smith was also a little shocked. At this time, he also felt that Alcatel Mobile seemed to be really planning to completely cut off the cooperation with Smith Printing Company, and they would not give them any retreat.

"Go to the headquarters of Alcatel mobile phone tomorrow and meet Ertian!" Antono Smith still didn't give up, and was going to meet Ertian, maybe there would be a turnaround. Anyway, the Smith family is in Sacramento, There are still some lines.

At this time, the news on TV attracted the attention of Antono Smith. In San Jose, the channel with the highest ratings is the channel of ICNC TV. It may have been other TV channels in the past, but after a few years, as ICNC The base camp of the TV station, local TV stations and radio stations in San Jose and San Francisco, have all been acquired by ICNC TV station. The subscribers and ratings of other TV stations in San Jose can only be described as dismal.

"The editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine, Kevin Kelly, conducted an exclusive interview with Bruno Song. Bruno Song threatened to attend the Alcatel mobile phone conference next year in person. It is speculated that Alcatel mobile phones will launch a new design next year!"

Wired magazine's exclusive interview with Song Yang, after it was released, immediately detonated the entire American technology industry, and many media began to reprint that interview, especially for Song Yang's words, which were even made by the media. Analysis and guesswork.

"I think next year Alcatel Mobile will launch a brand new mobile phone, which may cause a new round of great changes in the entire mobile phone industry, just like when the P1 appeared!"

"This is Bruno Song. He has never broken his promise. You may not trust Alcatel mobile phones, but you can always trust Bruno Song!"

"Affected by Wired magazine's interview, several Wall Street institutions including Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank announced that they have raised their forecasts for Alcatel's mobile phone sales next year again. Several institutional analysts predict that Alcatel will officially surpass Nokia next year! "

Antono Smith watched ICNC TV, boasting wildly about his big benefactor, he was about to blow it up to the sky, and then watched because of a f*cking interview, the Wall Street agency actually adjusted the sales forecast of Alcatel mobile phone, Even the valuation has increased by tens of billions of dollars, Antono Smith felt absurd, but couldn't help being envious.
