Back to 1995

Song Yang and Ed Blankfein looked at each other and toasted each other from a distance. Ed Blankfein was watching Song Yang, so why not Song Yang.

If there are so many Wall Street institutions present today, which one Song Yang is most wary of, it is no surprise that Goldman Sachs, Lehman, and Bear Stearns are investment banks. But Goldman Sachs is different, it is absolutely prepared to serve the pot together.

Song Yang wanted to cut leeks, but he also had to guard against being cut by Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs would not be merciless if they cut off their Wall Street peers. If the federal subprime mortgage crisis broke out, Paulson and Goldman Sachs would probably eat a few of them together. A major Wall Street investment bank can't do it, and Goldman Sachs can't be too wary.

"You must not hand over your back to Goldman Sachs!"

Edison didn't know when he appeared next to Song Yang, looked at Ed Blankfein playfully, and said to Song Yang in a dark way.

Song Yang turned his head and glanced at Edison. A few years have passed. It seems that Edison has let go of the plane accident that year, but Song Yang can clearly feel that Edison is concerned about the plane accident that year. Still brooding.

Goldman Sachs, an old Wall Street crap, is Edison's main suspect. Although he has found only a handful of evidence over the years, Edison feels intuitively that Goldman Sachs is absolutely inseparable from that incident.

Song Yang toasted with Edison. He had no intention of intervening in Edison's grievances with the Wall Street gang, but he could cooperate with Deutsche Bank Investment Bank. At least in the next few years, there will be many Cooperation with Deutsche Bank Investment Bank and its parent company.

"Google will be listed at a valuation of $420 billion!"

"The world's largest search giant is born!"

"Raising 42 billion US dollars, Google will publicly issue listed shares worth 42 billion US dollars, setting a new record for the Internet!"

"NASDAQ's Board of Directors Announces Acceptance of Google's Listing Application!"

"Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank Investment Bank underwrote Google's stock, and more than 19 Wall Street institutions and foundations participated in Google's listing!"

This time, ICQ's own media camp did not pull their hips. ICNC TV station and the AOL portal website took the lead in announcing the news of Google's listing in the first place.

Even though it has been warmed up before, the valuation and financing of Google's listing this time have already been expected from the outside world, when they heard the news, they still couldn't help but turn pale with shock!

Google is not the first company in the search industry. Long before Google, a large number of search companies have emerged, but before that, none of them became popular, and few of them survived to go public.

Just those listed search companies were almost wiped out when the NASDAQ crashed last time. Excite, the search giant, was acquired by Google, and their brands were all frozen. Now they are almost forgotten. Inktomi Search was swallowed up by Yahoo, and the rest of the search companies are all dead and disabled. Those search companies have not become popular, so why is Google's valuation breaking through the sky? Is there any reason? !
Now the world's top search brands are basically Google, Yahoo, and Baidu from Yanjing. These three almost cover more than 92% of the global search market. The rest of the search companies such as ASK and Altavista are really It's hard to keep up with, and you can only eat some leftovers. The pattern of the global search industry has basically been stabilized.

Yahoo is the oldest company in the Internet industry. Although its search business is not as good as Google’s now, Yahoo has been listed for many years, and its current market value is only more than 800 billion US dollars. When Google came up, it got half of Yahoo’s market value, and it really went public. , Is it possible that this market value is not possible, and it is impossible to surpass Yahoo? Do you still pay attention to the old-timers? !

"Google uses a keyword bidding model, which makes Google completely different from the advertising model of traditional search companies.

This is undoubtedly the most important change in the history of the search industry. It guarantees Google's profitability and will far exceed any previous search company! "

On the TV station of the Economic Channel, invited Internet experts, Wall Street analysts, and academic professors are vigorously touting Google.

"In addition to the advertising delivery model, Google is also working with an established Internet company and the world's largest advertising group, Double-click, to jointly develop a new generation of independent advertising delivery system.

If this advertising delivery system can be launched, it will allow Google’s advertising to cover ICQ, PayPal, Xueleshan game platform, Fortinet, Symbian Music, Symbian App Store, eBay, Amazon, Wikipedia, Firefox mobile browser , Symbian smartphone system, Android smartphone system, and overseas 8848, Sohu, Netease, 360, Hotmail, Yeadex and other platforms with over one billion Internet users!
Not only large companies, small and medium companies and even individual advertisers can choose to place ads on Google according to their own needs and funds! "

On the TV station, a group of guests, with the cooperation of the host, almost praised Google to the sky.

It's not just ICQ's media camp that is touting Google. Almost overnight, the American media, large and small, are all touting Google intentionally or unintentionally, just like the treatment of a generation of Internet giants.

Not only the media, but also many Wall Street institutions have continuously issued analysis reports on Google, which are also all kinds of flattery. After Google goes public, its market value will exceed US$[-] billion, which is the consensus of the entire Wall Street institution. Just tell the leeks that if you buy Google stock, you will make money. If you buy Google stock, you can’t afford to lose money and you can’t be fooled. If you buy it, you will get rich. Ancestors know the pearl...

The media, Wall Street institutions, academia, and major federal securities companies are almost all touting Google overwhelmingly. People with sensitive minds have already noticed the abnormality, and the Internet industry, which has been silent for a long time, has become noisy again because of Google.

After the NASDAQ crash, many leeks who hadn’t opened the stock software for a long time, and under the overwhelming bombardment of the media, many of them reopened the stock software.

The Federal Securities industry also announced that it has been sluggish for more than ten months, and the Federal Securities industry, which has no new users, has ushered in a change for the first time. The number of new users in a single day exceeds [-], and nearly half of them All from overseas, the new generation of leeks seems to have grown into...

When the effect is seen, the media and all parties will praise Google even more, and the rumors about Google will become more outrageous. What Google wants to enter the email industry is expected to destroy Yahoo Mail within seven months. Then compete with Hotmail, the mailbox overlord.

In addition, Google will develop its own browser. In the future, Google will replace Microsoft's IE browser and become the new king of the browser industry, and even enter the computer operating system, system software and other industries. , Google is going to challenge Microsoft!

But people who eat melons, just eat this. The more outrageous the rumors, the higher the global popularity of Google. Numerous investment institutions and investors around the world are slowly turning their attention to Google, and the number of Google’s daily visits has increased. More than 14%.

However, when these rumors reached the ears of Microsoft President Ballmer, they only caused the powerful figure in the technology industry to burst out laughing.

"Google?!"

"Google search is really good. Microsoft MSN, Hotmail, IE browser, Skype, and WP mobile phone system, etc., all use Google search!"

In an interview with the local media in Seattle, Ballmer laughed when he was asked about the rumor that Google was going to compete with Microsoft, and he didn't seem to have any worries at all.

After all, now it seems that what Google wants to fight against Microsoft is to rely on a search engine to overthrow Microsoft. It’s too idiotic. If Microsoft needs it, it can launch a new search engine at any time to start a war with Google.

Microsoft has been in the world for so many years, apart from not getting any cheap from Song Yang, the key is that both sides kept restraint and did not really fight. Otherwise, I really thought that Microsoft would still be afraid of the failure of Bruno's gang, and the rest were almost all attacks. Invincible is invincible!

If he really throws his arms around head-on, Ballmer is confident that within two years, Google will be removed from the Internet industry. Of course, the premise is that Song Yang will not intervene, otherwise it will become a bad battle. In the Internet industry, Microsoft really didn't have the confidence to completely defeat Song Yang and even make a tie, Microsoft felt that it had to put in the old nose.

Ballmer didn't pay attention to those rumors. He only thought that Google was bragging before going public. It's not uncommon to use Microsoft to boost its value. Over the years, when have people who challenged Microsoft stopped? Not bad for the Ballmers either.

In addition, not long after Ballmer's trip to San Jose, he reached many agreements with Song Yang. Microsoft's mobile phone business is still counting on Song Yang's help, so he doesn't care about Google's lip service. , who would take the joke seriously? !

Ballmer didn’t take these words seriously, but someone at Google took them seriously. Seeing Ballmer’s “goodwill” response reported in the media, Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s feelings However, it is Microsoft's contempt for Google, and it doesn't even regard Google as an opponent at all!
"Microsoft will regret it someday!"

"E-mail, browsers, office software and even systems, Google will definitely surpass Microsoft in these areas!"

Schmidt looked at the angry Larry Page, who was like a young bull, and did not say anything to stop him. As a new Internet company, Google needs this vigor and the courage to overthrow the old giants. Only anger , so that the bulls can overturn all obstacles, and let Google go further. In case... it is really done. .
