Chapter 570

Everyone likes to deal with honest gentlemen, wishing that others would become honest gentlemen, and send all kinds of compliments, but only those who have been severely beaten by the society will know what will become if they become honest gentlemen, old pedants, etc. Look, especially in this rough place like America.

Anduran, as the manager of the Siebel Automobile Club, would not be able to "learn" from Lamborghini for so long if he had a thin skin. If he wanted to stay in the automotive industry, he would not have the mental capacity to bear it!

With Anduran around, Song Yang felt at ease, letting Siebel compete with Ferrari, Lamborghini and other sports cars, fight with traditional car brands, and wrestle with Musk in the electric car industry. clean.

Song Yang came to Zhou Bailin's side. Zhou Guochang and Li Shilin were playing golf under the guidance of their trainers. They both regarded this game as a pastime.

Zhou Bailin didn't have much interest in those things. He had played basketball in school, so he wasn't very familiar with other things. Now he was cooking barbecue made by the club's three-star Michelin chef.

The country club of the Bruno family will entertain most of their own people in the future, and most of those who apply for club membership will spend a lot of money. Naturally, the service and food provided by the club cannot be inferior.

Seeing Song Yang approaching, Zhou Bailin quickly wiped his hands clean, and shouted nervously at Song Yang, "Cousin!"

When he was in Yangcheng, Zhou Bailin knew that Song Yang was worth a lot, but he didn't feel too nervous. At that time, he didn't feel deeply.

But this time, in New York and San Jose, Zhou Bailin realized Song Yang's influence here earlier for the first time.

He has also read a lot of news and magazines that have not been reported in China in the past few days. He knows that Song Yang has now been able to pass a bill on Capitol Hill in America. It shows that Song Yang in America is definitely not just what the domestic media reported, he is just an Internet upstart...

Song Yang waved his hand casually, and picked up a piece of barbecue. The three-star Michelin chef in the club obviously had a lot of thoughts. Today's barbecue is Texas style barbecue, Texas cowboy barbecue Not so much, the key is to have enough weight.

After taking a bite of the ribs smoked with hickory wood, Song Yang felt that the taste was good. After a few bites, Song Yang looked up at Zhou Bailin, "Have you decided which university you want to go to?"

"I want to go to Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study electrical engineering. The media said that it is the best electrical engineering major in the world. I want to enter artificial intelligence, robotics and other industries in the future. There are no such industries in China, but I think after these, I will definitely They will all appear in the country!"

Song Yang listened to Zhou Bailin's words and just nodded his head. Zhou Bailin's vision is indeed good. These industries are not hot right now, but after a few more years, they will probably become very hot.

"I'm going to return to Yangcheng after graduation and the internship is over!" Zhou Bailin whispered to Song Yang after finishing speaking.

This time Song Yang raised his head and looked at Zhou Bailin. Zhou Bailin was a little nervous under Song Yang's gaze, but Song Yang just smiled.

"Where you want to go is your business, no one can interfere!"

Song Yang finished a large piece of roast beef and drank another glass of wine, "I will prepare a letter of recommendation for you. During this time, you should rest here!"

Now a letter of recommendation is nothing to Song Yang. Some people are willing to write that letter of recommendation for Song Yang and be Zhou Bailin's guarantor. To be an honorary director, it is estimated that those famous schools are willing to do it.

Just like the University of San Jose named by Song Yang, Song Yang didn’t know how long he hadn’t been there, and he was still advertised by San Jose as a facade. Now he is waiting for Song Yang to leave the University of San Jose. Once he leaves, Song Yang will definitely become an alumnus of the University of San Jose. Members of the Who's Who, honorary directors of San Jose University, etc., will also be arranged, and even a certain building on the campus will be named Bruno Building!
The University of San Jose will not lose money or even make a lot of money in these businesses. As long as they give some names, Song Yang will donate a large sum of money to the University of San Jose every year, and he can also use Song Yang's name to recruit some in the university. The Internet industry is a genius, and in addition, graduates can be sent to Song Yang's company to increase the employment rate and average salary, and to promote the benefits of San Jose University.

When Song Yang left the club, he looked back at Zhou Bailin. Zhou Bailin was still immersed in the cooking. It was obvious that the chef's skills attracted his attention more than the club's facilities.

As for returning to Yangcheng after finishing MIT, for Song Yang, Zhou Bailin's choice is not that important. Staying in America, with Song Yang around, his life will definitely not be bad.

Returning to Yangcheng, Zhou Bailin may have to struggle a lot, but it is possible to become a domestic leader in electronic equipment, artificial intelligence and other industries.

With Haili and Gallo taking care of Zhou's family, Song Yang felt relieved and rushed from the club to downtown San Jose. The entire ICQ and Xueleshan were busy at this time.

Since ICQ released the news of its listing, Silicon Valley and Wall Street venture capitalists and institutions have flocked to underwrite ICQ’s stock financing. Even the sky-high financing price of US$18 billion can’t stop the enthusiasm of these institutions.

Most Wall Street institutions and Silicon Valley venture capitalists know that they have no chance. ICQ's financing will definitely be eaten by Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, etc., but they are really unwilling to give up like this. But I still want to drink some soup. Everyone knows that the listing of ICQ this time may be the biggest melon in the Internet industry this year. If you miss it, you don’t know how long you will have to wait.

Irene and ICQ's executives are busy there, as are Gleick and Marcus. They have to meet with people from Wall Street, discuss stock issue prices, roadshows, etc., and now is the busiest time.

Song Yang didn't go to ICQ, and it's very busy there now. When Song Yang passed by, he just signed and asked ICQ to start a road show. It's time to go public!

Just as busy as ICQ, there is also Xueleshan, which has just "separated". The two sides "separated" in name, but they are still disconnected. Thinking about it, you can see how it is possible to completely cut off the two major industries of games and social networking.

When Song Yang came to the Xueleshan office building, the people who saw the office building came and went in a hurry. The entire office building was already filled with office workers from Xueleshan and several major game studios. Some are not enough.

The Xueleshan online platform alone now has more than 700 employees, not including those in overseas offices. The Xueleshan online game platform has now launched versions in [-] languages, in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, In the Middle East and other places, there are offices, which are actually operation centers, mainly responsible for maintaining and updating local servers.

The development, operation, business and other personnel at the Xueleshan Online headquarters, plus the office personnel in various places, these people add up to more than a thousand people, and this is just a department under Xueleshan!
Xueleshan Games, as well as the publishing department, publicity department, personnel, finance, logistics, etc., all add up, and the staff at the Xueleshan headquarters has already soared to more than 500 people.

If you count the staff of Blizzard, V Agency, R Star and other studios, this office building is not enough. Blizzard has the idea of ​​​​moving out. Staying at the headquarters, how can you monopolize an office building? Comfortable?
"Song!"

In the conference room, the Williams couple, who were about to have a meeting, stood up quickly after seeing Song Yang.

Song Yang looked at Ken Williams and Roberta, smiled and nodded to them, then pulled a chair and sat at the end of the meeting room.

Xueleshan is so busy, naturally because of the release of StarCraft, if there is no "Diablo" hit, maybe Xueleshan will not be so fanfare.

But with the jewel of "Diablo" in front, it's the turn of "StarCraft", and it is naturally impossible for Xuele Mountain to underestimate it.

Of course, there is another small thought. The Williams couple also need to "whitewash" themselves. They just broke up with the headquarters, and they also need to use the sales of "StarCraft" to "whitewash" them, so that Their reputation is not bad.

Song Yang signaled Williams to continue with the executives of Xueleshan, but how could they really not see Song Yang in the meeting room? The opinion of the man in the back of the conference room.

The entire Xueleshan game was set up by Song Yang alone. Xueleshan was already in decline and may disappear at any time in the hands of CUC International.

As a result, Xueleshan game was redeemed by Song Yang at a high price from CUC International, digging out the pearl of Blizzard. Now Xueleshan is making a lot of money, while CUC International is deeply involved in financial fraud. Mire, facing the crisis of epic fines.

Comparing the two sides, you can see what Song Yang's vision is. The current Xuele Mountain was built by Song Yang. It is conceivable how these people feel about Song Yang.

"StarCraft has been developed and will be released this week!"

Ken Williams withdrew his thoughts and said to everyone present, especially Song Yang who was sitting at the back.

"Currently disc printing manufacturers have begun to produce game discs for Xueleshan. This time, the game discs will be released as Sega console games. In addition, new anti-theft and anti-cracking technologies are used. It is expected that pirated games can be delayed... Appeared on the market in a month!"
