Back to 1995

Chapter 21
After coming out of the TV station, Song Yang and Greg rushed to the bank where they made an appointment.

And in the bank, Song Yang was the first to experience the benefits of being famous. The bank is the most realistic place. As long as you have money, you can get all kinds of super-standard treatment here that the outside world can't imagine.

Song Yang and Greg first tentatively came to the location of Morgan Bank, the largest bank in Houston.

On the Morgan bank side, even though they still had some doubts about the value of the double-click advertising company's mortgage assets, they still sent a senior manager to receive Song Yang and gave them high-level VIP treatment.

However, for the loan to Double-click Advertising Company, although Morgan Bank is willing, the amount is not high. It is only willing to lend to Double-click Advertising Company for a loan of less than 80 US dollars, and nearly half of the equity of Double-click Advertising Company is mortgaged, and the interest rate is also high. Somewhat high, JPMorgan Bank obviously still has some doubts about investing in the Internet industry.

Then Song Yang successively came to Western Union Bank, First Federal Bank, First Imperial Bank, and several banks in Comelica, a local bank in Texas. Compared with Morgan Bank, the attitudes of these banks towards double-click advertising companies Much better, especially the Comerica Bank.

After coming out of several other banks, Song Yang and Greg came to Comelica Bank. As soon as they entered, they met a middle-aged man in his 40s who was already waiting in the bank lobby.

As soon as he saw Song Yang and Song Yang, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he immediately brought people up to greet him, "Welcome the technology hero from Houston to Comemerica Bank!"

The middle-aged man came to Song Yang and said to Song Yang, "I just saw it on TV. It's a wonderful interview. I've seen a rising star in Houston's science and technology, which has started to rise from the space city!"

"Chris Jain, you can call me Jain, the credit manager of the Comerica Houston Bank!" Jain handed two business cards to Song Yang and Gleick respectively. Compared with other banks, Jain wants He was much more enthusiastic, and he was full of praise when he came up, which was even louder than Song Yang's bragging on the TV station.

"Thank you!"

After coming to the meeting room, Song Yang took the coffee brought by Jia En's pretty female assistant, and said to Jia En.

After Song Yang and Greg looked at each other, Greg spoke first on behalf of the double-click advertising company, "Manager Jain, the double-click advertising company needs to apply for a loan from the Comerica Bank!"

Jain clapped his hands and clapped a few times, "Comerica Bank is also willing to cooperate with Double-click Advertising Company, such a "potential" company!"

Song Yang and Greg looked at each other. Jain should be said to have the best attitude towards the double-click advertising company among all the banks they met today.

But when things go wrong, there must be demons. Jain's enthusiasm seems a bit too much. The bank is not a place for charity, but it made Greke's heart rise, and he used his eyes to signal Song Yang not to speak indiscriminately.

"Comerica Bank, how much money are you willing to provide for the double-click advertising company?" Greck asked Jain.

Jain didn't look at Greg, but at Song Yang, "100 million dollars!"

"200 million!" Song Yang said at this time.

When Jain heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed a few times, "You can listen to my conditions first. I think Comelica Bank, Houston Credit Department, is the most friendly bank to double-click advertising companies in this area!"

"150 million credit funds, a two-month interest-free period, and only need to mortgage 20% of the double-click advertising company's equity!" Jia En said to Song Yang.

Are such conditions harsh? To be honest, they are already very generous. In the early days of Internet and technology companies, why didn’t they ask banks to borrow money?

The double-click advertising company is now also taking advantage of the spring breeze of digital advertising and the support of Netscape, so the bank is willing to tentatively throw a sum of money to the double-click advertising company. In fact, it has never thought of taking it back. After all, every day There are countless new companies emerging in America, how many of these companies can survive to the second year?
Therefore, the conditions proposed by Jain are already very kind compared to those of the other banks.

"What does Manager Jain want?" Born in America, the last thing Gleick believed in was that there would be pie in the sky.

Jia En laughed, and then pointed directly at Song Yang!

"Funds can be lent to Double-click Advertising Company. As long as I am still in the position of the Houston Credit Department of Comerica Bank, Comerica will be able to cooperate with Double-click Advertising Company in the future!"

Jia En looked at Song Yang and said, "But I hope, Song, you can become "my" client in the future. Of course, the capital turnover of the Double-click advertising company and other cooperative companies, I hope it can also be done in the bank where "my" works."

Song Yang heard Jia En's overtones, that he wanted Song Yang to be "his" client, not the Comerica Bank!
That is to say, Jia En is investing in Song Yang himself this time. He bet that Song Yang can grow up in the future, not to mention becoming the richest man like Bill Gates, as long as he is a person worth tens of millions, for Jain's Career is a huge help.

Even going one step further, if Song Yang can break through the ceiling and reach the level of a billionaire, then with such a character supporter, Jain may even be transferred back to the headquarters of the Bank of Comerica.

America has gathered more than half of the rich people in the world, but there are only so many billionaires. Every billionaire has a huge influence. Being supported by such a person is enough to accomplish a lot of things.

Greg really didn't expect that Jia En wanted to invest in Song Yang. Although it was for selfish purposes, his willingness to take risks on Song Yang was enough to show that he valued Song Yang.

Song Yang saw Greck nodded, and then he also said to Jain, "Of course it's no problem, I am willing to cooperate with Manager Jain, and the double-click advertising company's capital turnover can also be done through Manager Jain, the bank where he works, but the partner , double-clicking the advertising company is powerless!"

Whether it is Netscape now or Yahoo in the future, there are a lot of forces behind it. Song Yang has no ability to make Netscape and Yahoo have to put money in the bank where Jain works.

Jia En thought for a while, and knew that it would be too difficult for Song Yang to intervene in the finances of a company like Netscape with a valuation of over one billion US dollars.

"Happy cooperation!" Jia En stretched out his hand and said to Song Yang.

After Song Yang and Greg left, the female secretary who delivered the coffee immediately stuck to Jia En, and the pair of dogs and men were immediately entangled.

"You really like that Song?" The female secretary lit a cigarette, took a puff, and handed it to Jia En. She hadn't seen anyone who valued him so much, the manager of the credit department.

No matter which bank you are in, the credit department is a fat job. It is up to the credit department to decide who to give money to and not to, how much to give, and when to get it back. Jain is not a kind person. The company still has those who borrow money, not just one or two.

Glancing at the female assistant in front of him, Jain said, "Silicon Valley and Wall Street are now touting the Internet industry, maybe there will be several millionaires and billionaires in this industry, but now Song seems to be more Compared with others, the chances are much greater!"

Jain is just gambling. It doesn’t matter if he loses the bet. If he wins the bet, he can earn much more than the Comerica Bank. In this case, it is natural to gamble.

After receiving this sum of money, both Song Yang and Geleike breathed a sigh of relief, especially Song Yang, who had been tense all the time, finally felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Greg bought some drinks, and came to the garage with Song Yang. Seeing this garage, Greg was filled with emotions for a while.

Looking back at Song Yang, Greg, a cheap uncle, was silent for a while. In just a few days, Greg felt that his identity and Song Yang's identity had undergone subtle changes.

Whether in a law firm or a bank, Gleick's situation has changed because of the double-click advertising company.

Regarding Song Yang, Greck's mentality is still changing. In addition to the kinship maintained by blood, it has begun to be a little more special. Before Song Yang, Greck was more of an elder's mentality, but now, Greg unconsciously began to think about Song Yang's attitude.

Song Yang didn't think too much about it, he looked up and saw Greg standing there in a daze, he pulled him to sit on the recliner, and opened a bottle of wine for him.

The wine bottle in Song Yang's hand touched Greg, "Uncle Greg, the double-click advertising company needs your help!"

Greg came back to his senses and took a sip of his drink. Although the current life is a bit busy, it is more beneficial to Greg than the unchanging days.

"What are you going to do, Comerica's funds won't last long for Double-Click Advertising Company!"

Greg asked Song Yang, the next double-click advertising company must be recruiting troops, renting offices, recruiting personnel, especially the bulls that are blown out with Netscape, the double-click advertising company must desperately attract advertisers, all these need It's a waste of money, as for when the double-click advertising company will be able to make a profit, no one can tell.

Song Yang was lying on the chair, looking at the simple garage. In a few days, he would probably move out of here.

"Double-click advertising company definitely needs investment, but it needs to find the most suitable sponsor!"

Before Song Yang rejected many investment calls who wanted to come to Qiufeng, but this does not mean that Song Yang is not ready to raise funds, but to find a big sponsor who is most suitable for Double-Click Advertising Company.

Greg wanted to say more, but when he turned around, he saw that Song Yang had already fallen asleep. Greg shook his head, got up and began to deal with things.

Song Yang's interview in Houston was reprinted and broadcast by CBS, which caused some waves in the Corey industry, especially for the names Song Yang mentioned in the interview.

"I like Song very much. He is a real genius. He opened the curtain of a new generation of Internet!" Song Yang.
