Back to 1995

Chapter 40
Seeing Adrian's gaze, Song Yang thought for a while and understood what Adrian wanted to do.

"According to the plan, before the end of the year, the double-click company will have 300 advertising sales staff..."

Before Song Yang finished speaking, Adrian said directly, "By the end of next month, the double-click company will complete its staff expansion!"

In Adrian's constituency, adding [-] new jobs means that [-] families will vote for him. These [-] families may even affect [-] or [-] votes. !

Why do those powerful figures in the Federation want to curry favor with big groups? In addition to being able to obtain campaign funds, those big groups have tens of thousands of people at every turn, which can affect tens of thousands of families and hundreds of thousands of votes, which is enough to decide the fate of a certain congressman in a region. Stayed.

Song Yang frowned slightly when he heard that Adrian wanted to intervene in Double-click Company. Adrian broke the original plan of Double-click Company.

At this time, Matthews, who was standing aside, coughed, "Mr. Adrian, I remember you are promoting a proposal for emerging technology companies in Houston?!"

Adrian patted his forehead, as if he just remembered, and said to Song Yang, "I am promoting a proposal for emerging technology companies for Houston, exempting emerging companies such as Double-click from taxation for one year, so that they can Better to develop!"

This is an exchange, as long as Song Yang can add [-] jobs to Adrian's constituency, he can use the power of a member of parliament to exempt Double-Click from tax for one year.

You must know that Texas does not collect state taxes, nor does it collect taxes from those old rich people. Now that the double-click company is exempted from taxes, it will at least reduce the double-click company's expenditure by one-third. As for next year, it will be unavoidable, or get subsidies And so on, it depends on the relationship with Adrian.

Faced with such conditions, Song Yang has no reason to refuse, "I also think that Double-click Company has reached the point where it needs to expand its manpower."

"I think Senator Adrian is the best candidate for mayor of Houston. For this reason, I am willing to donate funds to Senator Adrian's campaign office!"

Seeing Song Yang being so knowledgeable, Adrian finally showed a smile on his face. Song Yang's willingness to contribute money to his campaign has already shown his attitude.

As for how much to vote for, Adrian didn't care too much. He's not a state election or a member of Congress right now, and he's running for election on the territory of the Xiang Party. The contacts accumulated over the years, and the support of the elephant party bosses.

When it comes to the governor's election, or even the general election, that is the time to burn money, and it can easily cost tens of billions of dollars. With Song Yang's current net worth, he has not yet gotten a ticket to enter this money-burning game .

Don't look at those big benefactors who are burning money so desperately, but as long as the one who supports them becomes the big commander, then in the next four years, the money burned can be doubled, otherwise in America, losing money Who is willing to do the business?
Adrian patted Song Yang on the shoulder, and then he and Matthews went to talk to the next one. After leaving, Adrian whispered to Matthews, "Nice young man!"

Matthews could tell that Adrian was quite satisfied with Song Yang. Generally, young people in America like Song Yang, if they could have Song Yang's net worth, would be extremely arrogant. Not pleasing to the eye, let alone listening to people like Adrian nagging.

"Young people are prone to make mistakes, and they often can't judge who their allies and opponents are. In addition, most of his wealth is just paper wealth..."

As Adrian's chief of staff, Matthews is more cautious than Adrian. He has to choose the most suitable ally for Adrian and deal with the most difficult opponent.

Adrian laughed, looked back at Song Yang, and then said to Matthews in a low voice, "I hope he can get up, the Cheniere Energy, United Energy and other people have gone too far... "

When he said this, Adrian looked a little dissatisfied. Obviously, the support of the energy giants in Houston is not cheap for Adrian, and their appetite is getting bigger and bigger. At least in comparison, Song Yang's side Much easier to talk about.

Adrian doesn't want to be a puppet at the mercy of a giant company. You must know that he is famous for his decisive character and determination, but he has become more and more tactful in recent years.

Just as Adrian and Matthews left, another special person came to Song Yang's side. Seeing this person came to Song Yang's side, many people in the small restaurant couldn't help casting their eyes over.

"President Kenneth!"

Song Yang didn't expect that Kenneth, the boss of Enron Company, would come here specifically to find him.

"Is it convenient to say a few words?" Kenneth handed Song Yang a glass of wine.

Song Yang took the wine glass and nodded, Kenneth opened the mouth himself, Song Yang couldn't refuse, now that Enron is a huge company with an annual revenue of more than [-] billion US dollars, it has provoked Enron in Houston, no accidents, can't stay any longer It must be Song Yang and Double-Click Company.

"Although Enron is a traditional energy company, it is not opposed to emerging business. In fact, Anran is preparing for telecommunications business!" Kenneth said after taking a sip of wine, looking at Song Yang.

Song Yang took a sip of his wine, showing a surprised expression, but his mind was spinning rapidly, wondering why Kenneth said this to him, anyway, it must not be a trivial matter to say it from someone of Kenneth's status.

"Enron is at the forefront of the times, more innovative than Microsoft and Intel!"

Song Yang praised Kenneth, which is true. Microsoft and Intel did not react as well as Enron. Enron has started to do telecommunications. These two companies have not made any moves. When Netscape gets angry, Microsoft Only then did he react.

Kenneth couldn't help laughing again. He felt that Song Yang, a young man, was more pleasing to the eye than others. He liked An Ran to be "new" rather than static.

"Anran intends to develop in the telecommunications broadband and Internet industries, and even Enron already has an Internet-oriented plan. Song, maybe Anran and Double-click can cooperate!"

If Kenneth pointed out something, he patted Song Yang on the shoulder like a big boss, and then left.

In the small restaurant, seeing Kenneth laughing and leaving, Song Yang was a little impressed. He didn't expect him to be favored by someone like Kenneth.

Greg is also a little excited. This is Enron, America's absolute giant. America ranks seventh among giant companies, and ranks No.16 in the world's top [-] companies. Being related to such a giant is enough to double-click The company skyrocketed.

However, Song Yang didn't feel any joy in his heart. Instead, he felt a pain in his heart. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. He already knew what Kenneth was going to do. What else could it be other than Enron Online, a trading website? .
