Back to 1995

Chapter 270
Song Yang invested heavily in e-commerce companies twice in a row, making all kinds of venture capitalists and investment banks flock into the e-commerce industry like vultures smelling fishy.

The e-commerce industry has directly become a popular Internet industry comparable to portal websites and e-mails. A large number of e-commerce companies have begun to appear. Regardless of whether they make money or not, their reputations are established!

Song Yang received the news from Yahoo, but Yang Zhiyuan still declined Song Yang's invitation, and planned to start Yahoo's own trip to Asia in the second half of the year.

Hearing the news from Yahoo, Song Yang just shook his head lightly. Song Yang was really not prepared to compete with Yahoo, nor did he regard Yahoo as his main rival!
As a well-known, Yahoo who did one thing and ruined one, and bought a company from the Huang family, there are countless operations. Yahoo, which was taken over by Wall Street, is actually not an Internet company for a long time. Just look at it now, Yahoo! Transformation, no longer invest in technology, but buy, buy, buy, and you will know which direction Yahoo is changing.

Song Yang doesn't regard Yahoo as a major enemy, but expects Yahoo to continue to expand and become a giant that can compete with Microsoft and AOL.

As long as Yahoo doesn't focus on technology, doesn't think about defeating opponents with technology, and doesn't consider monetizing all the traffic, then no matter how many good cards Yahoo has and how many markets it can capture, in the end, it will basically play poorly with a good hand and eat it. I have to spit it out!

The higher the stock price of Yahoo, the more dollars Song Yang can cash in, and Song Yang needs someone to attract firepower and attention from his opponents.

Netscape can't hold it anymore, even if Song Yang secretly helps Netscape to continue its life, but Netscape's traffic and users are all declining, and it can last for another year at most. Song Yang feels that by the end of next year, At the beginning of the next year, Netscape will not be able to hold on under the rogue tactics of Microsoft's IE browser. At that time, Netscape will either sell itself or go bankrupt...

After Netscape, Song Yang didn't want to be the target of public criticism, and he felt that Yahoo was the most suitable for this important task. It was the most suitable for Yahoo to compete with Microsoft for portal websites, and to compete with AOL and others!

As for Yahoo's competition with Song Yang in portals, instant messaging, e-commerce and other fields, Song Yang doesn't care much. Anyway, with Yahoo's style of pursuing short-term interests, it will definitely destroy the Great Wall by then.

On the contrary, Song Yang was a little dissatisfied with Yahoo and Softbank's joint establishment of Yahoo Japan. He wanted to bypass Song Yang and set up a Yahoo brand in Japan alone. How could it be so easy.

Song Yang picked up the phone, first called Brady, and asked him to notify Coorg and Masayoshi Son, demanding that the newly established Yahoo Japan must let Song Yang and Double-Click Company transfer 9% of the shares of Yahoo Japan, otherwise A lawsuit is about to be initiated, which will ruin the Japanese Benz Yahoo brand!

Then I called Gleick, "Let the legal department keep an eye on Yahoo and Softbank. After the establishment of the Japan Yahoo brand, we must hold 9% of the shares of Japan Yahoo, otherwise we will submit to America and Japan. The Department of Justice, initiate a lawsuit against Yahoo and SoftBank, initiate a class action lawsuit on Nasdaq!"

Yahoo and Softbank really think that Song Yang’s money is so easy to get. On the day Yahoo went public, Song Yang bought so many Yahoo stocks, but it was not for fun.

Nippon Yahoo is different from America's global Yahoo brand. When the global Yahoos can't survive, Nippon Yahoo is still a strange thing, spanning half of the Nippon Internet.

Even when Yahoo in America was half dead, the market value of Yahoo Japan exceeded $500 billion!

Sun Zhengyi and Yahoo want to bypass Song Yang and play Yahoo alone. It is impossible in this life. Even if they use rogue methods, Yahoo will have to hand over 9% of the shares to Song Yang. Otherwise, Song Yang does not rule out using some special means to let the Congressmen of the Elephant Party launch investigations against Japan, Yahoo and Softbank on Capitol Hill, so that Softbank can experience what is the deep love from the suzerain country. Congressmen of America, Packing up Japanese benzene, it is basically handy!
After making the phone call, Song Yang tidied up and went to the ICQ building in person to receive Doberpur from PA Semiconductor, who arrived today. Today, Song Yang will meet two groups of people. In addition to Doberpur, there is Al Carter's delegation, Song Yang will charter a flight to Asia tomorrow.

Softbank and Yahoo headquarters, which are preparing to establish Yahoo Japan, received a notice from Gleick's legal department to ask Softbank and Yahoo to explain the relationship between Yahoo Japan and the two companies, and asked them to implement. When Song Yang held shares in Yahoo Japan, Both sides looked at each other in blank dismay.

"This is revenge!"

On behalf of SoftBank, Inoue Masahiro, who was in charge of negotiating the Japan-based Yahoo project at Yahoo headquarters, said angrily, "This is blackmail revenge!"

A group of Softbank employees are also filled with righteous indignation, and they are really aggrieved. Softbank cooperates with Yahoo. I don’t know what is related to Song Yang. Even in Yahoo America, Song Yang is just a minority shareholder of Yahoo. Now Even the lion opened his mouth to get a 9% stake in Japan's Yahoo!

Kuge, who was sitting opposite Masahiro Inoue, felt a headache. He just gave Song Yang a blow, and Song Yang gave him back in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the clamoring Masahiro Inoue and the people from Japan SoftBank, Coorg took a cold look. If it wasn't for Masayoshi Son, he wouldn't want to see these Japanese devils, who have been the suzerain state for more than half a century, There is a natural psychological advantage for American people to face Japan.

Kuge didn't care about Masahiro Inoue and the others before him, but it was impossible for Song Yang not to care. Kuge knew that Song Yang was really capable of playing those tricks.

"You don't know Bruno Song. I suggest that you tell Sun Zhengyi about this, otherwise, there may be a real problem with Japan and Yahoo!"

Coorg didn’t want to worry about this matter. Originally, Softbank was cheap and let Softbank operate the Yahoo brand in Japan. Now that he was in trouble, Coorg directly threw it to Sun Zhengyi to solve it, so he didn’t bother to compete with Song Yang. As long as it doesn't affect Yahoo's stock price, then Coorg doesn't want to be tough with Song Yang at all.

Looking at Coorg's attitude, Masahiro Inoue also understood that Coorg didn't want to provoke Song Yang, so he could only say, "I will pass this matter on to President Masayoshi Son, I heard that Bruno Song is going to start a trip to Asia , Softbank will invite him to Japan to solve this matter, President Coorg, this matter will never affect the establishment of Japan Yahoo!"

Bringing Yahoo to Japan is the most important decision made by SoftBank Group and Masayoshi Son this year. The popularity of the Internet in the world can be seen with the naked eye. After Yahoo went public, Masayoshi Son, who invested in Yahoo, doubled his net worth.

And if Yahoo can be brought to Japan, with Japan's current Internet level, then Japan's Yahoo will basically crush the existence of Japan's Internet, at least there is no one that can fight.

What's more, there is no need for Yahoo to do anything, just copy the homework and create portals, e-mail, search, Internet advertisements, etc. in Japan, and it is estimated that Yahoo will be able to thrive.

Moreover, the personality and habits of Japanese Benzene people are like the company’s lifetime system. Once you enter a company, you may work for a lifetime. Once you are familiar with a product, Japanese Benzene users may use it for decades. Well, as long as Yahoo has a firm foothold in Japan, it is estimated that basically no one can challenge it. Even if a Silicon Valley company passes by, it may not be easy...

After a few years, once Yahoo, the number one Internet company in Japan, goes public, it is estimated to be able to make a lot of money, so Masahiro Inoue, including Masahiro Inoue, must not let Yahoo's project be messed up. of.

Coming out of Coorg's office, Masahiro Inoue started to contact Japan Softbank, and also started to contact Japanese-American connections in America, etc., trying to put pressure on Song Yang.

For more than ten years, Niben, which claims to have bought America, has been buying and buying everywhere in America. Columbia Pictures, Universal, Empire State Building, etc. have all been acquired by Niben. Benzene also had some influence in America.

However, these things do not have much effect on Song Yang. If Softbank wants to suppress Song Yang by relying on these companies in America, it is a bit overthinking...

Song Yang didn't care what Softbank and Yahoo thought. Under the office building of ICQ in San Jose, Song Yang waited for a group of PA Semiconductors led by Dubpur.

The veterans in the chip field followed Dobpur, basically a group of chip engineers who followed him in DEC before. Dobpur's status in the chip field is like a rock star, able to attract Countless engineers followed.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is "Processor Ranger" Jim Keller, who has been sought after by many processor companies such as Intel and AMD. As one of the members, the status of Doberpool in the industry can already be imagined.

Dubpur, who is over fifty years old, wears glasses and has gray hair, but he looks pretty good.

"Dr. Doberpool, welcome to come!" Song Yang shook hands with Doberpool, Jim Keller and others one by one.

Looking at Song Yang's young face in front of him, Dobpoor couldn't help but say, "Seeing you Song, I have to bear it. I have indeed reached the age of retirement!"

Song Yang shook his head immediately, "I don't think the entire chip industry wants to hear this news. One day, it will be a nightmare for the global processor industry."

Song Yang really didn't want to let Doble Poole retire. The processor business can be counted on this veteran in the chip industry. world.

But the problem is that Jim Keller, a processor ranger, is so damn good at running pictures. Except for the old gun of Dopper Poole, who can hold down Jim Keller, it is Intel, AMD, EDC, Giant companies such as Nvidia and Broadcom can't keep Jim Keller's heart of running pictures.
