Chapter 241 This is History

Song Yang raised his wine glass and had a drink with Martin Solo and Jotus. These two were considered as one of Song Yang's "guides", at least they took good care of Song Yang.

Looking at Martin Solo, Song Yang said, "Thanks to President Martin for his support. Double-click the company's current situation. I believe it is only temporary. The current problems can definitely be resolved!"

Sitting on the second largest shareholder of Double-click Company, this time WPP Group chose to stand with Song Yang. If there is no support from Martin Solo, then the backyard will catch fire, and Double-click company has different opinions, and Song Yang may have to deal with it More trouble.

Hearing this, Martin Solo waved his hand domineeringly, "WPP Group and I have chosen to invest in Song You, and we will continue to invest forever. WPP Group can afford this loss!"

To a certain extent, Double-click Company is responsible for the layout of WPP Group in the Internet advertising industry. It is also a bit annoying for WPP Group to be targeted in this way.

It was almost affected by the lawsuit against the double-click company. During this period of time, the Internet industry has been fluctuating. After all, advertising is now the Internet industry. The only opportunity to see profit is to attack double-click companies. The industry is suffering.

But for WPP Group, although it earns a little less now, the venture capital funds that were invested in Double-click at the beginning have already earned back dozens of times, but now that Double-click is listed, it can’t immediately become like Netscape and Yahoo! In that way, the big profit is nearly a hundred times.

"Song, you are a little impatient about the double-click!"

The three of them stood on the balcony of the banquet. After taking a sip of wine, Jotus said to Song Yang, if Jotus handles this matter, it won't be such a tit-for-tat situation. According to Jotus' style, there is Sometimes you will "advance with retreat" and seek new opportunities at the same time.

Jotus's style is "steadiness". He is good at keeping the building in check and dealing with the mess, and he will not put it in a dangerous situation. He will not be as tough as Song Yang.

"I have no choice, take one step back and take countless steps back, maybe only one step away!" Song Yang raised his wine glass and said, he certainly understood what Jotus meant, double-clicking is not impossible to "release", wait for the opportunity, wait until there is enough Strength, and then retaliate against the opponent.

Martin Solo has a different opinion on Jotus's "steadiness", "I don't think Song, what he did is wrong. Even if Song makes a concession this time, do you think the other party will stop there?"

Martin Solo has always been chasing and fighting his opponents fiercely, and he will never stop until he kills the last opponent. This is also the reason why WPP Group has become a giant in just a decade, because all opponents were killed by him.

At the beginning, if the WPP Group encountered a difficult opponent and would not move forward, or even sued for peace, then the WPP Group would never be able to make it to where it is today. Therefore, Martin Solo admired Song Yang's move this time. .

If the double-click company he invests in cannot become the industry leader, or if he is afraid to move forward when encountering opponents, then Martin Solo really needs to think about whether to let the double-click company change to a new helm!

Jotus shook his head, unwilling to argue with this "British guy" again. This time, he double-clicked on the company's troubles, and Chotus could naturally see something. It was obvious that someone was "fishing in troubled waters".

Being tough at this time will naturally let people know that Song Yang is not easy to provoke, and will make many people give up their idea of ​​provoking Song Yang.

But this also allows another group of people to know Song Yang's style and depth, and the next time they target Song Yang, the methods will definitely be more severe. Non-Anglo-Saxon and Jewish people, in the land of America, as long as they have social status Afterwards, they all have to go through a few stubbles of being treated as leeks, and only by surviving all of these, will it be possible to become one of the people who play chess in this game of chess in America!

"Wang An Company, tomorrow will contribute part of the funds to buy the shares of Double-click Company." Qiao Tusi said to Song Yang.

When Martin Solo heard this, he just let out a muffled sound. He knew that Jotus had good intentions. He double-clicked the company to go public tomorrow, and the pressure to support the market was not too great. There were only 6000 million US dollars in outstanding shares. Jotus Si asked Wang An's company to buy Double-Click's stock, more to express support for Double-Click.

I thought that after the listing of Netscape and Yahoo, I didn't feel much about the double-click listing, but Song Yang barely fell asleep until midnight.

No matter how many companies Song Yang invests in and how many new industries he establishes in the future, Double-click as the "eldest son" should be the most impressive to Song Yang.

When Song Yang went downstairs, Greg, Gallo, Kaiwei Lehman, Marcus, Irene, Wesley and other people who built the double-click by themselves were already waiting below. For them , even if they leave Double-Click, Double-Click is still the one they remember most!
A platoon of convoys drove towards Nasdaq. Along the way, the logo and advertisements of the double-click company appeared on both sides of the road, whether it was billboards, outdoor advertisements of office buildings, or passing landmarks.

When passing through Times Square, hundreds of screens were filled with double-click slogans. When the convoy arrived at the Nasdaq trading floor, it was surrounded by a large number of reporters early on. It's not a good question at all.

What about "Will Double-Click Company lose the lawsuit?", "Is it possible for Double-Click Company to delist after delisting?", and asked, "Is Song Yang ready to go to Capitol Hill for a hearing?" Double-clicking is a special day. Song Yang has had these reporters sent away long ago. He has no eyesight, so he doesn’t know how to ask good questions, whether double-clicking will cause the stock price to skyrocket, etc. of.

But in fact, the reporters present today are really not interested in the double-click stock price, and even the entire Wall Street institution has no expectations for the performance of the double-click today, as long as it does not fall below the issue price, that is enough!

"Dear audience, we are now on the trading floor of Nasdaq. The founder and management team of Double-click Company have arrived at Nasdaq, but Double-click Company did not accept interviews with the media and reporters as usual."

A local TV station in New York did an interview, "Because of the influence of public opinion, Wall Street investment banks and institutions did not make an estimate on the stock price of Double-click. The company's stock price has made a 15% to 20% increase estimate, and said that double-clicking the company's stock price is within a reasonable investment range!"

While reporting, there was a sudden commotion in the Nasdaq hall. The reporter who was reporting turned his head and took a look, and immediately ran over, reporting while running, "It's Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo! He came to the double-click company's listing ceremony!"

The presence of Yang Zhiyuan caused a little restlessness in Nasdaq. Yahoo is now a hot presence in Nasdaq. It has only been listed for more than a month, and its market value has nearly tripled to 15 billion dollars, but this does not seem to be the case. Yahoo's limit.

Yahoo has become the new "miracle" of the Internet. The turnover rate of Yahoo's stock is astonishingly high every day, that is, people are constantly buying and selling, which makes Yahoo's stock price continue to rise. Wall Street has gradually begun to regard Yahoo as an Internet concept stock. The representative trend is to let Yahoo replace Netscape. After all, Netscape is really in a recession now.

"Excuse me, Jerry Yang, how far do you think the double-click company can go?"

The reporter surrounded the "Yahoo Chief" who had just entered the lobby. Thinking back a month ago, it was almost the same position. Some media interviewed Song Yang and asked the same question. Buying Yahoo stock for tens of millions of dollars is really a combination of god and action, and it can be called a model in the investment industry.

Gradually, Yang Zhiyuan, who has become the leader of the American Internet, is naturally heroic when he hears such a question, "I am very optimistic about the development of Double-click Company. I believe in Song. He has proved to everyone that he is a genius of the Internet!"

"Yahoo is one of Double-Click's shareholders. On behalf of Yahoo's board of directors, I promise that within one year, I will not sell Double-Click's stock, and I will personally invest in Double-Click's stock!"

After Yang Zhiyuan, representatives of companies from the Internet and technology industry came to the scene one after another, and founders or executives of companies such as Altavista, Artisdirect, Lycos, and Excite also came to join in.

As more and more Internet companies were present, some media even exclaimed that today is the Internet conference in America, and almost all Internet companies with surnames are present. These upstarts in America, use In this way, express support for the double-click company.

It was the people from AOL and Microsoft who really caused the crowd to shout. Case sent his confidant Ted Leonsis to come. On the Microsoft side, it was Todd, the president of Microsoft's public relations department who was most familiar with Song Yang. Come join us.

The presence of Microsoft and AOL means that most of the entire Internet industry in America has been present.

What is even more unexpected is that Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, the two founders of Netscape who were rumored to be at odds with Song Yang, also showed up at the last moment. The title of an Internet conference!
"Congratulations, Song!"

When the two sides met again, Song Yang, Anderson, and Jim Clark behaved very peacefully, as if they met each other with a smile and lost their grievances.

Indeed, there is nothing to contend for. Netscape’s empire dream of dominating the Internet has been shattered, and now it has been dragged into the quagmire of the browser wars. What happened before Song Yang is actually nothing to Anderson and Jim Clark.

When Song Yang, Yang Zhiyuan, and Mark Anderson stand together, America and even the global Internet have been the most glorious three people standing together in the past two years, for the media and reporters present, today's trip is already It's not in vain!

And in the group photo afterwards, the media and reporters were even more crazy. When Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan Anderson, as well as Jotus, Martin Solo, Todd representing Microsoft, AOL, Altavista, Artisdirect, Lex Lycos , Excite, L90, VCLK and other dozens of founders and executives of Internet companies, when they stood together for a group photo, the scene was almost turned into white flowers by the camera!
