Chapter 165 Picking Peaches

"A source claims that one of America Telecom's investors is likely to be Bruno Song, the founder of Internet Double-Click, Hotmail, ICQ and other companies!"

When the news host on the TV station said this sentence, the office of Netscape headquarters fell silent.

Anderson, Jim Clark, and Baxter were all watching the news on TV, unable to say a word for a while.

In Anderson's mind, the only thing in the news at this time is the American telecommunications line worth 30 billion dollars, and this line is likely to be invested by Song Yang!

If it hadn't been exposed on the TV station, I'm afraid Anderson would never have believed such news. The span is too great, from the Internet to the telecommunications industry suddenly, and it is too amazing.

Especially 30 billion US dollars, this figure is too astonishing. Now the most valuable person on the Internet is Jim Clark, but Jim Clark's worth is only the threshold for entering the billion dollar club.

As for how much money Song Yang could earn with America Telecom, Anderson's scalp tingled when he thought of this.

"Now that the media reports news, don't they need to go through investigation?!"

Feeling the dead silence in the office, Baxter said jokingly, as if what he saw just now was fake news.

But Anderson shook his head, and said a little lonely, "This matter is really the method of that lunatic Bruno Song. He dares to do anything!"

Watching the news on TV, Anderson felt a little dazed. He is regarded as a representative of Silicon Valley's digital heroes, but since Song Yang's debut, he has begun to attract the halo and eyes that originally gathered on Anderson.

Just now, when he heard that Double-click was listed, Anderson still had the idea of ​​competing with Song Yang, but now that he heard about America Telecom, Anderson couldn’t think of any more competition. It is clear that Song Yang is likely to reach a height that Internet industry practitioners have never reached. America is a country where success or failure is judged by the amount of social status...

Seeing such a lonely look on the Silicon Valley genius he cultivated, Jim Clark forced a smile and said, "Bruno is really surprising, but the money is not so easy to get!"

Hearing this, Anderson couldn't help raising his head, and looked at Jim curiously, wondering why his life mentor would say such words.

"The futures companies on Wall Street will not be so easy to let go. Most importantly, how willing are the telecommunications giants in America to be picked by this kid? The bill is not here to take advantage of Song..."

Jim Clark looked like he was watching a play. Although he was also inexplicably surprised by the appearance of American Telecom, he still said in a joking tone that he didn't want Anderson, a generation of genius he had cultivated, to be afraid of Song Yang.

Jim Clark knew too well that a genius, apart from talent, was the kind of incomparable pride. Once he admitted that he had lost, that genius would really fall.

As for American Telecom, although Jim Clark of the old world is not in the telecommunications industry, he knows the style of the telecommunications giants in America more or less, but it is by no means easy for people to pick peaches!
As soon as the plane from New York to Houston landed, and as soon as Song Yang and the others got out of the airport, a large group of reporters immediately swarmed in.

"Song, is America Telecom really your investment?!"

"Is the rumor on Wall Street true? You really made $30 billion with this route?!"

"Song, should I call you Mr. Three Billion Dollars now?"

As soon as he got out of the airport, like a Hollywood superstar, Houston and the reporters from other cities in Texas who heard the news were like crazy, and rushed forward with a groan.

Whitman, who returned to Houston on the same plane as Song Yang, never knew that the media and reporters in the financial and financial industries could be so crazy. Pounced on.

No wonder these reporters are crazy. After the news from Wall Street broke out last night, the entire American financial industry media immediately felt that they were going crazy.

Pulled a telecommunications network line from Chicago to Wall Street, and then sold this line for 30 billion dollars. This kind of crazy and dramatic thing is enough to be compared with America. At the beginning of the 20th century, a person suddenly discovered oil fields and gold mines. , and then compared to getting rich overnight, how many years has it been since there has been such a legendary event in America? !

Even the business schools of major American universities are discussing this matter. It is not too innovative to pull a network cable from Chicago to New York, but Song Yang has seen a side that others have not seen. Dedicated lines will make a lot of money, and the major business schools in the United States will also be shocked. This is the second time that major universities in the United States have discussed it after the last viral marketing.

After the news about American Telecom broke out yesterday, all major American media and TV stations are frantically reporting on this incident. In fact, when Song Yang and the others boarded the plane back to Houston, there were a large group of reporters, all of them in New York. find them.

Against the background of American Telecom, even the double-click listing of the company is not so eye-catching. After all, the financing of 6000 million US dollars still has a market value of [-] million US dollars. Compared with the billions of dollars of American Telecom, It is really not enough to watch!

Major TV stations and media have begun to report on the American Telecom line as a "legendary story". Even local TV stations in New York directly called this incident "the oil field incident in the telecom industry"!
Today, New York and Amerika are rushing to the front lines of the melon-eating road, poaching the heels of American Telecom from all aspects. The American Telecom lines that no one cares about at all have also been dug out abruptly. .

On the construction site of American Telecom, there was suddenly a large group of reporters and media onlookers, and even a big TV station directly dispatched a helicopter to report, broadcasting the construction site of American Telecom to thousands of households in America, to prove that American Telecom The project is not groundless.

Several major investment banks on Wall Street, including Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and Merrill Lynch, also had a large group of reporters go to verify, and it was confirmed that they had already paid one-third of the deposit to American Telecom. In addition, these Wall Street investment banks also "accidentally" revealed that It was confirmed that Song Yang was indeed an investor in American Telecom, and possibly even the largest shareholder of American Telecom. This news made the media even more crazy.

Under such a situation where the media spread wildly, Song Yang returned to Houston, one can imagine what the situation would be.

Surrounded by such a large group of reporters carrying cameras and microphones, even Whitman, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, feels like a small boat in the sea, being swept away by huge waves. Surrounded by reporters, there is no room for opening.

Ulf stood in front of the same one tightly. He has been a security guard for many years and has experienced countless war scenes, big and small, but the fighting power of the reporters in front of him made Ulf a little amazed. In order to interview Song Yang with a question...

At this moment, a group of tall and burly security personnel entered the arena. Song Yang and Wulf were relieved to see these security personnel wearing the logo of Blackwater Company.

"Double-click company will hold roadshows and media conferences. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the meeting!"

"It is inconvenient to disclose now. If necessary, American Telecom will hold a press conference."

"Wall Street class action, I don't know, American Telecom did not violate a single American law!"

Whitman and Gleick answered a question or two in a hurry, and under the escort of the Blackwater security personnel, they flashed quickly. Who knows how many of these reporters came, just for a while, what the hell? Reporters came and even cars with license plates from other states came.

After Song Yang and the others went outside, several cars were already waiting outside. Seeing Song Yang coming out, Eric immediately went up to him and gave Song Yang a Texas cowboy hug, "Song, I knew We can do it!"

The Blackwater security at the airport just now was sent by Eric to rescue them. Otherwise, the airport security guards would not be able to stop the reporters.

Eric couldn't hide his excitement. After working so hard for so long, he bet his own RICK company, and it seemed that the bet was finally successful. In the future, he would not only be the largest nightclub owner in America, but also a telecom investor. It has skyrocketed a lot!

"Song, Comerica Bank congratulates you!"

As soon as Song Yang came out from New York, Chris Jain, who rushed back from the construction site with Eric, also said with a smile on his face, since last night, all the bosses in Comerica They will call him in turn. As soon as America Telecom's line is completed, Chris will also become a big shot at the Bank of Comelica.

At one time, he earned several hundred million dollars for Comerica, and Chris was qualified enough to walk sideways at the Comerica Bank!

"Houston RICK night show tonight, don't go home if you don't get drunk!" Before getting into the car, Eric shouted to the crowd.

After getting in the car, Song Yang asked Eric, "Leave, are you okay at the America Telecom construction site?!"

"With Oswald watching," Eric said with excitement on his face, "and now, a large group of reporters are wandering around the construction site, unable to start work at all, who knows how they will appear There are so many reporters here!"

"Song, is America Telecom's project complete?!" Eric asked, staring at Song Yang closely.

Song Yang looked at Eric's expression, "Theoretically, the right to use [-] line seats of American Telecom has been sold, but until the last moment, no one is sure, and now America Telecom is needed The line is completed, and the telecom license has been obtained!"

Hearing this, Eric let out a long breath and laughed a few times, "Now the line has almost advanced to Pennsylvania and reached the border of New Jersey, which is less than a hundred kilometers away from New York!"

"The commander-in-chief has also released the telecommunications industry in America, Song, we have to make this happen!"

"I hope so!" Looking at the excited Eric, Song Yang didn't pour cold water on him.
