Back to 1995

Chapter 41
The emergence of technology and the Internet is like a magnifying glass, which connects everyone in the world. Sometimes this is a convenience, but sometimes, it may not be a good thing to be used by people with ulterior motives.

The original intention of the Enron Online website is of course good. It is the world's first Internet commodity trading platform. Whether it is natural gas, oil, precious metals, electricity or futures, even timber, advertisements and other things, everything can be traded on this platform.

And Enron Online has only been around for one year, and it has become the world's largest commodity trading market, with an annual turnover of more than 2000 billion US dollars. You must know that it was the beginning of the century. Compared with Enron Online, Amazon is the existence of being beaten .

The Enron Online website fully displays the magnification effect of the Internet. Global traders are attracted by Anron Online.

After Kenneth left, Josiah immediately moved to Song Yang's side, and his attitude was even more flattering. He saw all the scene just now.

In this kind of place, the owner of a small law firm like Josiah, who can be considered a person of some status in Houston, is not enough to watch. Kenneth and others will not even give him a second look.

And Josiah saw that Adrian, Kenneth and others seemed to be making friends with Song Yang. For Josiah, he naturally wanted to hold Song Yang's thigh even tighter.

"Enron wants to cooperate with Double Click?"

After coming out of the golf club, Greg couldn't help asking Song Yang, and Josiah also stared at Song Yang closely. The Enron company headquartered in Houston, to put it bluntly, what Kenneth said in Houston is probably better than The Amerika Command still works.

Song Yang didn't show much interest, but just shook his head flatly, "Not to mention, Anran may not be interested in Double-Click Company!"

Song Yang wished that Kenneth would forget what happened today, let alone take the initiative to deliver it to his door. Song Yang didn't believe that Kenneth, the Enron management team and Andersen alone could make such a big commotion. If you want to say that Washington and the American Securities Commission are completely unaware of it, you are lying. The water in it is very deep!

Hearing Song Yang's words, Greg and Josiah were a little disappointed. They couldn't hug An Ran's thigh, which was a bit disappointing for them.

After leaving the golf club, Song Yang returned to the double-click company and promised Adrian that Song Yang needed to get things done.

After a night of carnival last night, Song Yang gave most people a holiday. In the entire Double-click company, only the technical department responsible for system maintenance and the sales department were on duty. What Song Yang didn't expect was that Irene was there.

Song Yang stood at the door of Irene's small office and saw Irene who was busy arranging documents, "Did you not rest today?"

Irene didn't seem to expect that Song Yang would come again today. Irene, who was wearing casual clothes, showed her figure. She didn't wear the old-fashioned framed glasses. When she raised her head, she showed a delicate face. Compared with wearing glasses Come on, the appearance has risen several notches at least.

"I still need to deal with the documents with several advertisers. Do you want me to make a cup of coffee?" Now Irene's identity is Song Yang's assistant, helping Song Yang with various chores. Of course, making coffee is one of the important responsibilities one.

Song Yang nodded, and when he turned to leave, he turned to Irene and said, "I told you, you look prettiest without glasses!"

Irene, who was molested by Song Yang, touched her cheek and glanced at Song Yang's background. After getting the investment from WPP Group from Double-click Company, her perception of Song Yang changed.

When she first came to Double-click Company, it was to accumulate experience, but now Irene has a feeling that maybe Song Yang might really be able to change the technology industry, at least the Internet industry in America, because of the emergence of Double-click Company. changed!

When Irene went in with coffee, Song Yang was talking with Ryan. Although Ryan asked for a high price, he was absolutely worthy of the salary he got. Except for holidays, Ryan almost stayed at Double-Click, giving advertisements over and over again. The Lord is on the phone.

But now that he double-clicked the company, got the investment, and may go public, he may also get equity. From a worker to a small capitalist, Ryan is full of energy!

Irene put down the coffee and was about to leave, but Song Yang casually pointed to the chair next to her. Irene hesitated a little, sat down and stayed in the office.

Now Double-click the company, there is a shortage of people everywhere, Irene, a professional with an MBA background, Song Yang will need to use it sooner or later.

"It's full now, in Houston?" Irene just sat down when she heard Ryan's surprised voice.

"Song, as we talked about, the center of America is in New York, where the richest advertisers in the world gather. Double-Click should move its headquarters to New York, where Double-Click belongs!"

Song Yang shook his head, "Double-click is impossible to move, the headquarters can only stay in Houston, and Double-click has been exempted from taxes for one year."

Upon hearing this, Ryan immediately knew what was going on. It must be a powerful person in Houston who found Song Yang and made a promise, otherwise Song Yang would not have been so sudden.

"Three hundred salespeople can be recruited, but I want to say that if the headquarters stays in Houston, it is difficult for me to guarantee that I will be able to fulfill the performance commitment to Netscape next year!" Ryan said helplessly.

Seeing the dull atmosphere in the office, Irene, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said, "Actually, it's not impossible!"

Song Yang and Ryan immediately looked at the little assistant. Song Yang glanced at Irene and motioned her to continue.

Erin said, "Double-Click's company headquarters can stay in Houston, and a branch can be established in New York. With the support of WPP Group, the advertising business in New York should be able to start soon!"

This idea surprised Ryan a bit. The broken company, which was established less than half a year ago, actually wants to open a branch. Isn't this a big move?
Song Yang was lost in thought. What Ryan said was correct. During this period, at least before entering the era of mobile Internet, America's technology and Internet center was in Silicon Valley, and the largest investment came from New York and Wall Street. A place where the best technicians and the richest people in the world gather.

In the past few years, if he wanted to continue to hang out in the Internet industry, Song Yang would go to these two places sooner or later.

Song Yang raised his head and glanced at Ryan. Ryan was inexplicably looked at, and then he remembered something, and his expression changed, "Song, you don't want me to go to New York, do you? I'm just a salesperson, no Managed..."

Speaking of Ryan, he felt a little guilty, but he also looked forward to it. If he had the opportunity to be the general manager, who would be willing to be a salesperson, even the best salesperson.

"Why not, you are the most important member of Double-click Company, and you will be on the board of Double-click Company in the future!"

"Shakespeare said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." Song Yang poured a bowl of chicken soup for Ryan, "I will also go to New York in the future!"

"Get ready Ryan, after dealing with the matter in Houston, I will announce to everyone in Double-Click in the near future that you will become the general manager of Double-Click New York!"

Establishing a branch now is indeed a big step, but now is the era when the land is king, whoever grabs it, not only in the digital advertising market in New York, but by the end of the year at the latest, Song Yang will establish in overseas markets company.

These days, if you want to log on to NASDAQ, you have to blow the cowhide. Whether it makes money or not, you have to build momentum first, so that everyone "feels" that Double-Click is very profitable, and that's enough!
Ryan left feeling anxious and excited. How long has it been since he is about to become a supervisor and general manager of a branch company? A group is absolutely impossible.

"Prepare some gifts for me!"

After Ryan left, Song Yang said to Irene that he was going back to Greg's house, and this time he was going to prepare some gifts for Daana, Millia, Logan and others. Old Bruno, Also have to prepare some.

Song Yang heard from Gallo that several members of the Bruno family wanted to hold a family dinner with the old Bruno couple. As for what they wanted to do, it was self-evident. People ask, Fu has distant relatives in the mountains.

After coming out of the double-click company, Song Yang came directly to the small apartment. After washing, Song Yang lay on the bed and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Ever since he came to America, Song Yang has been busy for the past few months. With the existence of the double-click company, Song Yang finally has the capital to settle down in America, which makes Song Yang feel relieved. The feeling of tone and tense nerves can finally be relaxed.

Song Yang will spend part of the 1000 to [-] million dollars he got from WPP Group for the expansion of the Double-click company, not to mention being like Bill Gates, who has money and directly buys a Bombardier private jet. The air mount, or like Jim Clark, is directly a private yacht, and Song Yang will at least choose a sports car as a ride.

It's not the Internet industry's style to be penny-pinching. Whether it's a sports car or a new house, it doesn't cost too much to Song Yang.

Next, Song Yang wants to invest this money and use this money to enter a new industry. Whether it is to continue the Internet industry or enter the electronic hardware industry, Song Yang needs to start making preparations.

As for which industry to enter, Song Yang needs to think about it. When thinking of these, Song Yang can't help but feel a headache. Now it seems that there are many opportunities in the Internet and electronics industries, but it is easy to enter, but it is not so easy to develop. Well, at least the little money in Song Yang's hands is not enough to burn.
