Chapter 19 Character Design (ask for a monthly ticket)

Staying in the office of the big boss of the law firm, Greg, who was holding a wine glass, was surprised when he heard what Josiah said. He didn't expect that Josiah would mention the double-click advertising company.

The legal counsel of the double-click advertising company was indeed signed under Greg's name, but Josiah's sudden mention still made Greg a little puzzled.

Seeing Greg nodded blankly, Josiah was overjoyed. After having a drink with Greg, he let go of the TV sound. After searching a few channels, he finally stopped on a local TV station in downtown Houston. .

A news anchor in downtown Houston is broadcasting the news, "The latest news from California, the technology company Netscape announced that it has reached a strategic cooperation with Double-Click.

Double-click advertising company is a start-up company in Houston. According to our news, this company was founded by a genius in Houston, Bruno Song. There is an investment company in Silicon Valley, and the valuation of double-click advertising company is more than 300 million dollars. Our reporter Will report more in-depth on the double-click advertising company..."

Watching the report on the TV, Greg also opened his mouth wide, his heart was full of astonishment, and only one thought came up, that broken garage next to Highway 300, now worth [-] million dollars?

"Greck, I knew you would not let me down, this is a company that cooperates with Netscape..."

Josiah excitedly said to Greg that although he knew that he wanted to win the legal business of Netscape, a Wall Street darling with a valuation of more than one billion US dollars, it was impossible, but he could get the double-click company backed by Netscape. Obtaining legal affairs is definitely a surprise for Josiah's small law firm.

Greg couldn't remember how he got home, and when he woke up the next day, he only heard Dana complaining to him that he had never seen him drunk like this in all these years.

Greg, whose brain was aching after drinking, thought about what happened yesterday. After get off work, he was dragged by Josiah to the best bar in Houston.

Thinking of this, Greg couldn't help but glance at Dana, seeing that Dana just complained that he was drunk, Greg was relieved, knowing that he didn't make a principled mistake last night.

Although there are some fragments, Greg still remembers that at the bar yesterday, Josiah made a bunch of promises to Greg, including the director of the law firm, the general manager, and even the status of a partner!
Josiah uttered all these things that Greck didn't even dare to think about in the past. Of course, Greck knew what it was for.

"Where is Song?" Rubbing his forehead, Greg thought of Song Yang and asked Dana quickly.

Dana saw Greg with a worried face, and wondered why he was going crazy, "Song didn't come back at all last night!"

While talking, the phone rang again at Greg's house, and Dana couldn't help but said, "What happened today? All the reporters and media are here to find Song!"

Looking at Dana's expression, Greg could imagine how many pervasive media and reporters called Song Yang.

"I need to go to Song Yang to deal with this matter!" After eating a few mouthfuls of bread indiscriminately, Greg hurried out, he wanted to find Song Yang to deal with the matter of the media.

Not only did Greck's family keep calling, but because Song Yang couldn't be contacted, some well-informed local reporters in Houston rushed directly to Devers School to interview.

Devers, who is only an ordinary school in Houston, is the first time he has seen so many media and reporters squatting at the school gate for interviews.

Principal Devers, who received the news, rushed to the school and was interviewed by reporters. The old principal, who was over 50 years old, faced the camera and said, "I believe that Bruno Song can do all this. He is Devers' best Excellent student, he will surely be the best member of our Devers alumni..."

Principal Devers, who didn't have much impression of Song Yang at all, when facing the camera, praised Song Yang and Devers School without any sense of disobedience, and declared that Song Yang was a real genius with excellent academic performance , is A all year round, and is the main force of the school baseball team...

In the Devers school, the rumors about Song Yang and Double-Click Company are also spreading wildly. If you didn't know it before, the presence of the reporter today will make everyone believe it.

Ibera, who walked into the dance training room, saw many girls around Jenny. Apparently, these girls all regarded Jenny as Song Yang's girlfriend, the girlfriend of a new millionaire.

This is America, a place where status, status, and power are divided by wealth and worth. A young millionaire with visible potential is enough to attract a group of people!
When Ibera saw this scene, she hated Jenny even more. She thought that all of this should belong to her. It should belong to her, but now it was stolen by Jenny.

The Devers baseball team training ground just sent off another wave of school management, and reporters took photos. All the members of the school baseball team felt dizzy at the moment.

Song Yang, who quit the baseball team, established a company, and in a blink of an eye, his worth exceeded one million dollars. Although it was only a theoretical worth, it was still too shocking for the people on the baseball team and completely overturned them. cognition.

Some of the baseball team had a good relationship with Song Yang before, so they were naturally happy at this time. Having a millionaire friend might change their future.

Those who were unfamiliar with Song Yang felt a little regretful that they hadn't established a relationship earlier, but the people on the baseball team focused most of their attention on Stanton, who was tall and like a black bear.

At this moment, Stanton's face was pale, and his face was full of frowns. He couldn't imagine what would happen next. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he offended a millionaire.

When Greg came to the garage, Song Yang, who had been busy all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Insufficient manpower, to connect with Netscape and Yahoo, and to contact advertisers such as the Telephone and Telegraph Group to report data, and to deal with technical problems encountered, etc., Song Yang has to deal with it. Song Yang basically spends one night busy.

"We need to find people as soon as possible, including technicians, sales, and customer service, and we need to change the office location!"

When Greg came in, he heard Song Yang say to Gallo, it was still the same garage, but in Greg's eyes, it was completely different from before.

"We need money, and the account is almost empty. If you hadn't rejected a venture capital firm's $100 million offer, we would have money now!" Gallo complained to Song Yang.

From last night until morning, there were basically no interruptions in calls to invest, and the investment amount also soared, from hundreds of thousands before to 100 million in the morning, but Song Yang rejected them all.

"Wall Street's estimate of the market value of the double-click advertising company is only 300 million. An investment of 100 million is already very good!" Gallo didn't understand that Song Yang had never accepted investment.

"It's 500 million!" Hai Li, who bought a Chinese breakfast for delivery, said while holding up a newspaper she bought on the way.

In the past, Hai Li was not interested in these technologies and such things at all, but now it is different. Seeing that the double-click company established by Song Yang is becoming more and more valuable, and Song Yang's net worth is also rising, Hai Li feels that she is getting farther and farther away from Hollywood. As it got closer, Song Yang said that he would help her go to Hollywood, so Hai Li was naturally very positive.

Gallo took a look at the newspaper and couldn't help cursing. Just one night later, Silicon Valley and Wall Street raised the valuation of the double-click advertising company, which suddenly increased by 200 million dollars in one night. Now Gallo Seeing the madness of the Internet industry, it is really no different from stealing money.

"I'll take care of the office affairs, and the manpower must be recruited as soon as possible. For the funds, you can go to the bank to borrow money!"

As soon as Greg came in, he arranged it directly. He has been a lawyer for so many years, and Greg has naturally rich experience.

As soon as Song Yang saw Greck, he immediately felt relieved. It was the first time that Song Yang established a company. Regarding technology, Song Yang asked himself, but he had the right to speak. He could manage operations, handle funds, and recruit personnel. In terms of affairs, it will be inferior. With Greg's help, Song Yang can feel relieved.

Greg joined in, and the small garage, which was originally busy, suddenly became more stable. Greg made a few calls, Gallo was sent out to check the office space, and Hailey went to contact the headhunter.

"There are reporters and the media who want to interview you. I think you need an interview. You can contact Ann Houston's local TV station to do an interview with you!"

Gleick said to Song Yang that now there are reporters from New York, Silicon Valley and other places in Houston who are very interested in Song Yang and want to interview Song Yang and dig out some serious information.

The local media and reporters in Houston should be the most concerned about Song Yang. Song Yang was born in Houston. The local media in Houston will definitely not deliberately make things difficult for this "genius", but the media in New York, Los Angeles and other places may not necessarily.

"reporter?"

Song Yang pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. The Double-click company will accept investment sooner or later. Improving its popularity now is very beneficial to the next investment.

Although Song Yang doesn't have the idea of ​​creating a "genius" persona like Microsoft and Netscape, but in this era of "creating gods" in the Internet industry, it is still beneficial to increase some popularity, just like how Microsoft packaged Bill Gates genius The character design and Netscape's creation of Anderson's "Silicon Valley Hero" status have attracted a large wave of investment, and there are also a large number of technical talents who have defected.

Song Yang didn't expect to attract thousands of followers like these two, but if he could attract some technical geniuses to the double-click advertising company, it would not be in vain for him to accept this interview.
