Back to 1995

"Director Bruno, how much do you think the market value of Alcatel mobile phone can reach this time?!"

"Nokia was acquired by Microsoft because of huge losses. Song, what do you think of the performance of Nokia President Elop in recent years?"

"Next year's federal election, Bruno Song, which member of the Elephant Party do you support?!"

"Song, what do you think of the comments made by the president of Chrysler on the latest product of Siebel electric vehicles?!"

Song Yang, who had just appeared at the North Shore Manor in Long Island, New York, was surrounded by a large number of media reporters, asking various questions to Song Yang who had not shown his face for a long time.

Since the Cowboys won the last general election, the number of times Song Yang appeared in front of the media has gradually decreased. If Alcatel, the world's largest mobile phone group, hadn't launched its mobile phone this time, it is estimated that the media would still not see Song Yang. trace.

However, Song Yang's social value has continued to soar in recent years. Bill Gates, Buffett, the richest man in Asan, and the richest man in Mexico on the global wealth list have also continued to soar in recent years, but they are far behind Song Yang Far worse than that, several companies such as PayPal Payment, Siebel Automotive, and Baker Hughes Energy Group have been listed one after another in the past few years. Baker Hughes Energy Group alone has made Song Yang's net worth soar by more than 800 billion US dollars. This caused the outside media to start hyping that Song Yang might become the first US$3000 billion man in the history of America, and he might even hit his worth of US$5000 billion!
These are of course on paper. Most of Song Yang’s net worth is in ICQ, Fortinet, Google, PayPal, Baker Hughes Energy Group, RICK Luxury Group, Blackwater Security, and other investments in Amazon, eBay, 8848, Sohu, Yeadex and other companies’ stocks have soared, and it’s not a problem for Song Yang’s value to increase by tens of billions of dollars a day. What is it, the media can take the opportunity to hype the news that the richest man lost tens of billions of dollars.

However, even the value on paper sounds bluffing enough. After all, there are many regions in the world with only a few US dollars in annual GDP. Song Yang's value on paper alone is equivalent to the annual income of many small countries. Earned.

"I believe that Nasdaq, Wall Street, and global investors will give an answer that matches Alcatel's identity!"

Song Yang responded to the media. The interview related to Alcatel's mobile phone was escorted by Wulf and other security personnel into the North Shore Manor. As for other questions, he just pretended not to hear them.

When he entered the hall of the manor, there were already many people waiting there. Song Yang went straight over, hugged Irene, who was already pregnant, touched her lips, and then helped her to sit down.

The rest of the people in the living room, including Greck, Marcus, Alcatel Group President Ertian, Siebel Automobile President Anduran, and Joshua Butler, the leader of the Donkey Party in New York, have nothing to do with this scene. Strange place, obviously already known.

"This little guy is kicking me again!"

Irene Doherty caressed her belly, wondering if it was because of her pregnancy. At this time, she no longer had the strong feeling of a professional strong woman, and instead she had a bit of maternal brilliance on her body.

Anduran, Ertian, Joshua Butler and others sitting on the side laughed when they heard the words, but Grek couldn't laugh.

Marcus, who has partnered with Greg for more than ten years, now has completely gray hair. With him in charge of Song Yang's wallet, Song Yang doesn't need to worry about the rear.

Of course Marcus knew Greg's worries, but this kind of matter belonged to Song Yang's family affairs, but he couldn't open his mouth. How to arrange for the child in Irene's womb, so that the child could get how much worth, only Song Yang Solar decision.

Greg has a headache, Song Yang already has two direct heirs, Alan Bell and Robb, plus little Lysa, and Anne who is living with her mother Elsa Benitez, and now he has She fell in love with a child in Irene's womb. If the will is not made well, bloody dramas will inevitably happen to the Bruno family.

"Song, Irene, if you want, I want to be the godfather of this little guy!"

At this time, Joshua Butler suddenly spoke to Song Yang and Irene, as if he had a "destiny" with this child, but everyone present knew what he was thinking.

Of course, as one of the oldest families in the donkey party, although it has declined in recent years and is not as dazzling as the cowboy family, but in retrospect, Bige is no worse than the cowboy family and the Kennedy family, and the connections and background are also there. Joshua Butler is definitely qualified to be the godfather of the child in Erin's womb.

He also found the timing very well. The child in Irene's womb might not be able to enter the Bruno family, and Joshua Butler being the godfather of this child gave him a name directly. Of course, Joshua Butler Le can also use this opportunity to establish a bond with the Bruno family and Irene at the same time.

This is a fruitful relationship of interests, but it is beneficial to the child in Irene's womb. Song Yang and Irene looked at each other, and said to Joshua Butler with a smile, "Who can refuse a contract?" Ya, you have such a godfather, this is his luck!"

"Next month, I will officially announce my temporary resignation from the position of ICQ president, and I will decide when to return to ICQ after giving birth to this little guy!"

Irene said in a flat tone that she would leave ICQ Group. In the past few years, ICQ has basically dominated the social networking industry, and basically has no rivals. It can challenge ICQ's status. Internet social, media, and games have become ICQ's The troika has made ICQ's market value and revenue soaring. Now ICQ's market value has exceeded 400 billion US dollars, completely surpassing the highest market value before the Internet bubble burst last time. Irene has also won the title of Internet social queen. .

Now that she is about to withdraw from ICQ suddenly, I don’t know how much trouble will be caused. Irene has no choice but to give up the position of president of ICQ. After all, she is the head of ICQ. Bringing a child out, the public opinion doesn't know what the frying pan will look like.

Eileen simply gave up the position of ICQ president first. As long as Song Yang, the major shareholder of ICQ, is around, no one can compete with her for this position.

And after a year and a half, Irene will come back again, and then I will find a reason, adopt or have a child with a private marriage, etc., so that this child will appear in front of the public, no matter whether other people believe it or not, Irene will believe it anyway That's enough, she's not a Hollywood star, she cares about public opinion and influence, as long as she can fool her.

However, if Irene withdraws and the stock price of ICQ just collapses again, then, those leeks will not know how they will feel...

"I didn't expect Microsoft and Elop to do such a rough job, but they forced Nokia!"

Ertian talked about the most recent and hottest news in the technology industry. Of course, Elop returned to Microsoft, the Trojan horse project was perfectly successful, and Nokia was forced to die.

Elop took office from Microsoft to Nokia. At the beginning, he really performed well. At one time, Nokia’s smartphone shipments ranked second in the industry, second only to Alcatel mobile phones, and Apple, HTC, Samsung, LG and so on. Left behind, Nokia's stock price and market value once soared by 21%, making the media exclaim that the king of the mobile phone industry is coming back!
But after Elop's position stabilized and he took over the power of Nokia, he began to play tricks. First, he canceled the throwing and hugging, and caught up with the MeeGo system proposed by Intel, which wanted to jointly develop mobile phone systems with Nokia. Let Intel Touching his nose and leaving in a huff, Nokia completely cut off the opportunity to develop its own mobile operating system, and could only stick to Microsoft's WP system.

Then there are all kinds of coquettish operations, announcing that the Nokia development team is unqualified. Elop drove away more than 5000 R&D personnel in one breath, cut off Nokia's multiple R&D departments around the world, and proposed to use Stud 4G technology to develop new mobile phones. , new technologies, etc., completely depleting Nokia's family fortune. Last quarter, it suffered a huge loss of 19 billion US dollars, and then it was out of control.

By this year, Nokia’s board of directors finally resigned to its fate and sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft at a cabbage price of $72 billion. Elop patted his ass and returned to Microsoft with a huge amount of compensation. Being the vice president of Microsoft is really a thing of the past, and you can hide your achievements and fame.

"Microsoft acquired Nokia's mobile phone business, and Alcatel mobile phones also obtained Nokia's technology patent library, which is enough for Alcatel mobile phones!"

Song Yang said to Ertian that Microsoft has eaten Nokia's mobile phone hardware business, and Alcatel Group has also packaged Nokia's mobile phone technology and patents at a price of more than 18 billion US dollars, making Alcatel mobile phones the world's most owned mobile phone The company with the most patents, especially 2G and 3G technologies, now all mobile phone brands, without exception, have to pay patent fees to Alcatel mobile phones!

As for whether Microsoft can re-establish the Nokia brand, it is difficult to say. Now the structure of the smartphone industry has begun to stabilize. In the high-end mobile phone market, Alcatel is still the only one, but Apple and Samsung are also among them. Come in, it's just hard to compare with an Alcatel phone.

The most competitive is the low-end mobile phone market, Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony, Blackberry, Siemens, etc. In addition, Yanjing, thanks to the fact that Alcatel's mobile phone industry chain is in Yanjing, has many Mobile phone manufacturers are developing rapidly, especially Chrysanthemum Factory, which is already able to compete with many international brands in Yanjing.

It's hard to say how much trouble Microsoft can cause with the half-dead Nokia. Thanks to Elop's showmanship, Nokia's die-hard supporters are getting out of the hole one after another, but in the end it is Ballmer who wins for Microsoft. When it comes to a mobile phone hardware business, it can be regarded as a win.

Song Yang looked at Ertian in front of him, and sighed softly, "Ertian, after the Alcatel mobile phone goes public this time, the board of directors will reward you with equity rewards and dividends!"
