Back to 1995

Chapter 35

People from Greg and Josiah Law Firm were watching the contract. Song Yang was not worried. He walked with Martin on the small square in front of the Harbor Office Building. As the center of Houston's CBD, the scenery here is not bad.

"Song, on behalf of the WPP Group Board of Directors, I welcome you to join. When the next WPP Group Board of Directors convenes, I will propose to let you join the WPP Board of Directors. You will become a member of the Empire Council of Elders!"

Walking in the small square, Martin Solo patted Song Yang's arm and said, even though he was a bit smaller than Song Yang in size, the aura Martin displayed was just like Nahuang who led the Gaul Rooster to sweep Europe.

Whether it's pretending or it's true, Martin's expression at the moment is quite friendly to Song Yang.

As a person who has acquired hundreds of companies, Martin already has his own experience on how to deal with the founders or presidents of the acquired companies. Carrots and sticks can be described as both hard and soft.

I think Bills, who was in charge of JWT and was known as the "Queen of Brands", yelled at Martin after JWT was acquired by WPP. After being arranged by Martin to become the president of Ogilvy Advertising, Bills immediately sang the praises of Martin...

"Thank you, President Martin, Double-click will become the best rookie of the WPP team and win the MVP for WPP!" Song Yang brought out Jotus' rookie theory.

"Rookie?" Martin asked Song Yang curiously.

Song Yang explained Jotus' rookie theory to Martin. After listening to it, Martin showed a bit of interest, "This theory is very novel, and it really deserves to be able to bring Wang An, who is on the verge of bankruptcy, to the next level. The club, for the person who got back on track, but..."

Martin shook his head and said, "If you follow Jotus's theory to find potential rookies, at most one team may become a strong team, but it may be difficult to become a champion in the league. , Maybe in the end, the club and the team will sell it for profit!"

Song Yang was taken aback when he heard that, he quite agreed with Jotus' "rookie" theory, but was dismissed as useless by Martin.

Looking at Song Yang's half-believing expression, Martin's mood of being a teacher suddenly began to explode. Even Jotus dared to teach him that set of theories. How could he, the king of mergers and acquisitions, not have his own ideas.

"Song, have you ever played with building blocks?"

Martin said to Song Yang, "Building blocks come in different sizes, and some of them may be particularly important or conspicuous, but if you want to build a palace with building blocks, no matter what kind of building blocks they are, they are the stepping stones of this palace!"

Song Yang listened to Martin's theory, and said, "One general will succeed and ten thousand will die?"

Martin was stunned for a moment, and after hearing Song Yang's explanation of this sentence, he couldn't help saying, "The ancient Chinese culture is indeed extensive and profound, so you can say this sentence.

If I run this team, I must buy the best players. No matter how much money it costs, as long as I can win the championship, everything is worth it! "

"Those advertising colleagues have always said that I don't understand the art of advertising, but now, they are all working overtime to complete the plan I made for them, and they dare not slack off!"

Mentioning this, Martin couldn't help but feel complacent. What could be more satisfying than those opponents who looked down on him at the beginning, but now they are all trampled under their feet, and they have to treat themselves like cows instead of horses?
"Those advertisers don't agree with my ideas, but now all advertising, public relations, and consulting businesses belong to WPP!" Martin finally said to Song Yang.

Song Yang listened to Martin's words, this is a brand new theory, completely different from Jotus' "rookie" theory.

Song Yang thought about what Jotus and Martin said to him, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Jotus is definitely not as bad as Martin said, and it is estimated that anyone who can bring Wang An's company back to life in the situation of Wang An's company looks at the whole Wall Street. Not many people can do it.

Seeing Song Yang who was deep in thought, Martin shook his head and laughed. He didn't know why he told Song Yang these things. These things belonged to "Dragon Slaying Technique", but Martin didn't feel that Song Yang now needs this thing.

After thinking for a long time, Song Yang suddenly had a feeling of understanding. Jotus's "rookie" theory and Martin's "building block" theory are not stronger or weaker, or they are used in different periods.

Companies that are about to go bankrupt or are just starting up have a better chance of surviving using Chotus's theory, while Martin's "building block theory" is more likely to kill all directions when they are about to develop.

"Thank you, President Martin," Song Yang stepped forward and said to Martin, "I will use building blocks!"

Martin laughed dumbly, but nodded to Song Yang, thinking that Song Yang was just joking, and didn't take it too seriously.

After returning to DoubleClick, Gleick and WPP's legal staff have already drawn up an agreement.

Song Yang glanced at Greg, and when he saw Greg nodding, he picked up the Parker pen. Gallo, Irene, Ryan, Wesley and other personnel all looked nervously at the pen in Song Yang's hand, After signing, the fate of everyone present will be completely changed.

Gallo kept saying, "1000 two million, 1000 two million!"

Song Yang took a deep breath, picked up a pen to write on the agreement, signed his name, and then exchanged agreements with Martin.

"Congratulations Song, WPP Group will announce the news through the London Stock Exchange tonight!"

After finishing the agreement, Martin immediately prepared to leave. WPP Group is a listed company and needs to be announced to the public.

Greg carefully put away the agreement. These few pieces of paper are related to tens of millions of dollars, and he dare not be careless.

After sending Martin and others away and returning, there was a burst of cheers immediately after double-clicking the company, and Gallo was crying like hell.

"Call Hailey, have a party for DoubleClick tonight at the best hotel in Houston, everyone!"

Song Yang said loudly on the office floor, he has been busy for so long and his nerves have been tense for so long, it is time to relax.

"I'll call right away. I'm going to have a party with Mr. Multimillionaire. I can't think of any woman who would say no!" Gallo howled ghostly, and then started calling. The party needs models, bartenders, DJs, etc. Hayley can handle it all.

Song Yang was not stingy, and directly rented a floor of a hotel in Houston, went to a car rental company, and took all the people from the double-click company.

When she arrived, Hai Li had already brought a group of models to wait there. When she saw Song Yang, the eyes of the group of models lit up, and Gallo couldn't help shivering when she saw it. It's like trying to swallow people up.

"Don't go too far tonight, don't be with this gang..."

Greg was still explaining to Song Yang, but the DJ on the scene had already played deafening music, and Haili also rushed over with a group of people. Before Greg could finish speaking, he was drowned out. Seeing this scene, Greg could only shake his head.

"Song, you really did it, I'm about to enter Hollywood!" Hai Li was even more excited than Song Yang, and directly pushed a model beside Song Yang.

The whole hotel is already full of demons dancing around. Greg, Irene, Ryan, etc. have all drank a lot of wine, not to mention Song Yang, there are Gallo, Haili and those models who are like moths to a flame. After a while, Song Yang was a little drunk.

When the party in the hotel was in full swing, two figures slipped in quietly, saw the scene in the hall, and there were models twisting their bodies one after another. They were reporters from two local entertainment tabloids in Houston who had seen the big scene. Also secretly speechless.

This kind of big scene is rare, with so many models, warming hot girls, and a steady stream of drinks, cold meals, DJ, hotel expenses, cleaning companies, etc., the cost of one night can never be less than six figures beautiful knife.

The reporters from these two entertainment tabloids heard the news that someone spent a lot of money to hold a party here. These two reporters came here to see what news they could cover, but they didn't expect to encounter such a big scene.

Two entertainment reporters sneaked into the middle, and then they saw Song Yang surrounded by the crowd. They all knew who was the center of the party without guessing.

At this time, Song Yang was leaning against two models with a bottle of champagne in his hand. With a muffled sound, champagne sprayed out all over the sky. The two entertainment reporters subconsciously raised their cameras and took a picture of this scene. Unconsciously, a famous scene recorded in the annals of history was born in this way.

"What are you doing?" Gallo, who was the most drowsy, was dazzled by the camera flash and wanted to chase after him, but his footsteps softened and he almost didn't fall. He was grabbed by Haili. An entertainment reporter took the opportunity to run away without a trace.

The stock market is the most sensitive to news, and the world is no exception. WPP Group, which is listed in London, was suddenly pulled up by 5% when the market closed. The stock price is at a new high!

Then WPP issued an announcement, announcing that it would invest in the emerging digital advertising media company Double-Click Advertisement. Double-Click entered into the WPP camp, and the old media empire had Internet wings, instantly becoming the most beautiful cub in the London stock market!
More news came back from across the Atlantic, and Silicon Valley and Wall Street followed suit with reports of the record Internet investment.

But what really ignited the entire American media was the scene of Song Yang holding champagne and leaning against a group of models in the champagne rain, which stimulated everyone in Silicon Valley and Wall Street!
