Chapter 205
If you want to talk about the feeling of the Siebel Automobile Club now, it must be what kind of experience it is for the boss to become a billionaire in the blink of an eye.

The Siebel Automobile Club experienced it quite suddenly, but for the Siebel Automobile Club, it was not only a joy, but the skyrocketing value of the owner was of course a good thing for the Automobile Club.

But the Siebel Automobile Club is also worried. Song Yang, whose value has skyrocketed, what should he do if he doesn't like Siebel, a small car repair shop? !

Since Song Yang invested, he has never been to the Siebel Automobile Club, and he has never even asked once, as if he forgot that there is such an investment.

This is why Anduran, Stewart and others came to San Jose to look for Song Yang today. They were afraid that if they didn't come again, Song Yang would completely forget them all, and it would be impossible to ask for funding.

After another drift, the car was thrown in front of Song Yang. Gallo climbed out of the car excitedly and shouted at Song Yang, "Song, this is Xibel's sports car, it's our sports car!"

Looking at the excited Gallo, Song Yang nodded with a smile. It has been Gallo's wish for so many years to build his own sports car. Regardless of the performance and design of this car, it is finally possible for Gallo to fulfill his wish.

"This is the best car I've ever driven!"

Gallo came over and bumped fists with Anduran and Stewart, apparently speaking nicely to Song Yang on their behalf, "Song, why don't you try it? The horsepower of this car is even stronger than that of the Ferrari F50." interesting!"

When Song Yang heard this, he waved his hands again and again, what a joke, just this "Wanguo" modified car, the parts inside, from the engine, chassis, gearbox, car chips, etc., are all bought by other parts manufacturers To assemble, with Siebel's current ability, at most it is to make a design and develop its own technology, which is simply impossible.

How dare this car be sold on the market if it does not run for a few years and has hundreds of thousands of kilometers!
"Is this car a copy of Lamborghini's design?" Song Yang turned to chief designer Stewart and asked.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Stewart was obviously a little nervous. Siebel's first sports car obviously "borrowed" from Lamborghini's design, and it should not look too much like Lamborghini's classic models.

Stewart showed embarrassment. This is not the first time someone said this. When the car was driven all the way from Houston to do a road test, as long as it stopped, someone would come to ask the people from the Siebel Automobile Club , Is this a new Lamborghini car.

"Boss," Stewart sorted out the language, "it's not so easy to design a brand new model. The first model of Siebel did borrow Italian style, but I can guarantee that the car's The speed can definitely surpass Lamborghini and Bugatti Veyron!"

Obviously, Stewart and the engineers of the Siebel Club focused their energies on speed. They want to make Siebel's car the fastest sports car in the world, which is also the dream of countless car designers. thing.

That’s right, a sports car needs to be fast, but for a sports car brand, light speed is useless. After all, except for going to the F1 race, the whole world will count those who actually buy a sports car. I dare not say 100%. At least 99% of people buy this thing, not for drag racing, but for holding Bi, a sports car can’t be used to hold Bi, it will be meaningless...

For those who really buy this thing, no matter how fast the speed is, as long as they see that this car looks like other sports cars, they will immediately regard it as a follower and have no interest in it.

Anduran, the general manager of the Siebel Automobile Club, said at this time, "Song, this is only Siebel's first car. This time I participated in the SEMA modified car competition in Las Vegas, just to let everyone know that the Siebel sports car coming!"

The refitting car competitions over the years are full of demons dancing wildly. It is also the time when countless car companies show themselves. Designers of major car brands will refit themselves. Various concept cars will be unveiled, regardless of whether these cars can be driven or not. It is refreshing, and for new car brands, this is a platform to showcase themselves.

Countless new car brands are showing their talents in modified cars, setting new speed records one after another, and after gaining enough reputation, they will transform into the ranks of regular army car brands.

Song Yang just laughed when he heard what An Dulan said, and what An Dulan said was true, after all, it was only Xibel's first car, so the requirements should not be too high.

"The Americas Global Foundation will continue to invest in the next quarter of the Siebel Automobile Club, but I hope that Siebel's next model can make a real Siebel style!"

Song Yang looked at Anduran and Stewart, "There is nothing wrong with pursuing speed, but a sports car needs not only speed, but also brand and culture. I don't want the media to comment. The car brand I invested in , just a follower!"

The speed can be gradually improved, but if the brand is set as a copycat at the beginning, it will not be able to turn around in the future, just like a certain mobile phone brand, which chose to take the popular route at the beginning. Winning in shipments, the result is that you want to upgrade and sell expensive mobile phones. After more than ten years, you can’t change it. It’s because at the beginning, it has been accepted by the public. If it’s expensive, no one will buy it!
"From Ferrari, Saab, Porsche, McLaren and other sports car brands, "invite" some designers to join the Siebel Automobile Club. In addition, I can let Siebel reach a cooperation agreement with the Houston Space Center to let Siebel Technology that provides dynamics!"

This is of course just a gimmick, using the name of the Houston Space Center to promote the Siebel car, and let the Houston Space Center endorse the Siebel car, proving that this car is the fastest in the world, anyway, the mouth grows on Siebel, How do you want to play, who can control it?

"I hope that the next model of Siebel that I see is a new concept, a sci-fi model!"

"I hope that the future Siebel will not only represent the fastest car in the world, but also the most eye-catching model. If there is a chance for mass production, I would like to personally sell Siebel's sports car to people in Silicon Valley!" Song Yang Said to Anduran's group.

Hearing that Song Yang was willing to continue spending money on them, Anduran heaved a sigh of relief, and Stewart also nodded. He understood that if the design of the next car did not satisfy Song Yang, the Sibel Automobile Club would be completely destroyed. The calf, or he will leave Siebel himself, and a new chief designer will come up.

"Song," Anduran said hurriedly seeing that Song Yang was about to leave, "Siebel is going to participate in the modified car show in Las Vegas, do you want to go there together?"

Anduran wanted to pull Song Yang over. With Song Yang, the treatment Siebel received at SEMA must be different, and it will also attract more media attention.

Song Yang didn't directly refuse, but he didn't agree either. He still has a lot of things to do next, such as double-clicking the company's listing, preparing to build the PayPal payment platform, going to Hollywood to start the "Matrix" movie, and preparing for a long time in Asia. The trip and so on, a lot of things are waiting for Song Yang to be busy.

"Look at the time, Gallo represents me!" Song Yang patted Gallo on the shoulder and told Anduran and his gang that Gallo represented Song Yang in the Sibel Motor Club.

After getting out of the car repair yard and getting into Wulf's car, Song Yang saw the phone and received two calls.

Iger was the first one to call. After the call was connected, Iger immediately said to Song Yang, "Song, the fish is hooked. There is a message from AOL that Case wants to meet you!"

American Telecom's acquisition of CompuServe was originally a bluff, catching the big fish of AOL, and now AOL itself has taken the bait.

"Of course, American Telecom is willing to talk to any telecom company!" Song Yang said with a smile.

After thinking for a while, Song Yang said, "In a few days, I'm going to New York to attend Yahoo's listing ceremony, and I can meet Case in New York!"

The other call just now was from Brady from Yahoo, and Song Yang knew why he called even if he didn't answer.

Yahoo is going to go public soon, anyway, Song Yang's double-click company is also one of Yahoo's shareholders, so naturally Song Yang will be invited to participate.

Not only Song Yang, this time Yahoo went public, a vote of Chinese Americans in America also showed support. A considerable part of Yahoo’s stock in America was bought by those Chinese Americans who made a name for themselves in America. Let’s go, this time Yahoo went public, Silicon Valley companies founded by Chinese in America also came to join us, including Xie Qing’s Feita, which also received an invitation this time.

On the other end of the phone, hearing that Song Yang was going to meet Case in New York, Eiger immediately said, "I'll ask someone to make arrangements!"

The acquisition of CompuServe was the first fire Iger played after taking office. He needed to make this fire ignite before he could work in America Telecom.

Song Yang rushed towards ICQ's office building. Yahoo went public, and it was only a month before Double-Click went public. Although Double-Click was not as smooth as Yahoo, it has been bitten by people, but the public stock issued for $6000 million , but finally sold them all.

Among them, European and Asian investment companies are still very popular with Double-click, the "world's largest Internet advertising company", and they bought nearly half of the issued shares of Double-click, which is almost on par with local investors in America. This is very rare among the companies listed in the past two years.

However, this also proves that after the past two years of Wall Street's spare no effort to promote the powerful media propaganda machine, investors all over the world have begun to pay attention to the frenzy of the American Internet market, and they have begun to believe that this is the new wealth-creating machine .

Internet companies around the world have also begun to emerge one after another, all aiming to get rich overnight by logging on to NASDAQ.

Song Yang feels that if the Internet continues to be frenzied, Wall Street will be able to attract all the leeks in the world to Nasdaq, and then cut them off in a few years.
