Chapter 58

Anran Company came to give money to Double-Click Company this time. For Enron Company, handing over the advertising order to Double-Click Company in the same city is considered a care.

With Enron's current status, the annual advertising promotion is handed over to those big advertising companies. This year, the business is handed over to Double-Click, which is telling the locals in Houston that Enron still has a heart for the local company. Millions of dollars were thrown at DoubleClick...

Song Yang couldn't refuse people who came to give money, otherwise he would fall out with the behemoth Anran, don't think about it, Song Yang must suffer, especially in Houston and Texas, where tens of thousands of people are relying on the Enron Group. For meals, hundreds of thousands of families use Enron's natural gas, electricity, and water power. If you offend Enron, you basically don't want to get along in Texas.

"Let them come over!" Song Yang could only say to Irene.

Song Yang originally thought that Enron Group would send a senior executive over. After all, the advertising fee of several million dollars for this order is quite a lot for Double-click Company, but it is not worth mentioning for Enron. At most, it is reselling Two pipes of natural gas.

But what Song Yang didn't expect was that the person who came this time was Kenneth, the president of Enron Group who had met once at Adrian's banquet before, and he came in person. .

Kenneth has the status now, but the president of the world's top [-] companies, even if he goes to Wall Street and Capitol Hill, he is treated as a guest, not to mention coming to the double-click company.

Kenneth is a big boss. After coming to Double-click Company, he greeted everyone in Double-click Company, and then smiled at Song Yang, "Song, didn't I bother you?!"

"How come, President Kenneth is able to come, it is the luck of Double-click Company!"

As for the current leader of the global energy industry, at least Song Yang does not dare to offend him now, just looking at the time, other company personnel working in the Harbor Building all came down one after another to admire Kenneth's demeanor , you will know how influential Kenneth is.

Kenneth seemed to be very interested in DoubleClick, so Song Yang had to take him to visit the various departments of DoubleClick.

"This is the technical department of DoubleClick, the best technical team in Houston is here!"

After coming to the technical department, Song Yang said to Kenneth, this is not bragging, there are not many Internet companies in Texas, and many companies have not started computerized office, double-clicking the company is a scorpion shit alone No matter how much you brag about it, no one can object to it.

The Double-click company is not big, but Kenneth visited every department, even communicated with the personnel of each department, and sometimes even tried it himself.

After seeing Kenneth, Ryan, who is in charge of double-click advertising and business operations, immediately introduced this double-click company to Kenneth, the most important department at present.

"This should be regarded as the largest digital advertising sales department in the current Internet industry in America. We have reached cooperation with more than 450 companies, including Compaq Computer, HP, Xerox and other companies. Now the entire digital advertising market in America is 58 % of revenue is born here!"

When mentioning this, Ryan couldn't help showing a little smug expression. His current advertising department almost represents the entire digital advertising market in America, and more than half of the revenue of the entire digital advertising market is contributed from here.

Hearing what Ryan said, Kenneth couldn't help applauding, turned his head and said to Song Yang, "Song, I have to say, this place is really a magical place, as long as you sit here, computer users all over America Saw your ad!"

After Kenneth came to the office, Song Yang pushed a cup of coffee in front of Kenneth, "Thanks to President Kenneth, and Anron Group for taking care of Double-click Company!"

Anran Group handed over the advertising order for next year to Double-click Company, and Song Yang naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

"The Enron Group naturally wants to cooperate with the company in Houston," Kenneth said to Song Yang, "It seems that Song you are very popular here, and you can keep Jotus coming over!"

Song Yang was taken aback, he didn't expect Kenneth to know that Jotus had been here.

Seeing the astonished expression on Song Yang's face, Kenneth just smiled faintly, and pointed out the big guy, "This is Houston!"

Song Yang knew in his heart that now in Houston and even Texas, there are countless eyes and ears of the Enron Group. If Kenneth wants to know something here, he may not be able to hide it from him.

"Jotus is here to talk about some small projects." Song Yang looked at Kenneth and said, there is nothing to hide from Kenneth about this kind of thing, it's better to say it directly.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Kenneth also said, "Double-click the company today, besides the matter of advertising orders, there is another matter that I want to talk to Song you!"

Song Yang knew that Kenneth was going to get down to business, he really didn't want to hear what Kenneth said next, but at this time he had to bite the bullet and listen.

Originally, Kenneth came here today just to see what the double-click company was touted by the media, but after seeing the double-click company, Kenneth changed his mind.

"Enron is preparing to enter the Internet industry and expand Enron's business from offline to online!"

Kenneth said that the idea of ​​the "Enron Online" website is to do online trading of energy futures, and put natural gas, electricity and other products on the Internet for futures trading. Enron Group has great ambitions and wants to become the world's largest energy trading business.

Song Yang couldn't help scratching his head when he heard what Kenneth said. Kenneth's meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted to double-click the company and join the Enron Group project.

"President Kenneth," Song Yang said to Kenneth thoughtfully, "Silicon Valley has better technology than Double-click, and it is more suitable for companies to cooperate with Enron!"

Kenneth put his eyes on Song Yang, as if he wanted to see through Song Yang. It was the first time that Kenneth met him in so many years. He didn't want to cooperate with Anran Company, but was a pusher. Although Song Yang said tactfully, But Kenneth couldn't hear the meaning of evasion in Song Yang's words.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Kenneth stared at Song Yang and said, "As I said, Enron wants to cooperate with a local company in Houston. Of course, Song, if you refuse this cooperation, Enron will not force it!"

Song Yang felt helpless when he heard this. Kenneth had put him on the fire.

Refusing to cooperate with Enron, ignoring Enron, if this kind of rumor spreads, will Double-Click Company become a laughing stock, not to mention, it will definitely not survive in Houston. Enron this behemoth.

"In the whole of America, who would refuse to cooperate with Enron, if they can do their part for Enron's project, Double-Click would be more than happy to do so." Song Yang could only say with a smile.

When Kenneth heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face, "This week, Enron will hold a director-level meeting, and you, Song, will be there!"

Seeing Kenneth walking away, Song Yang couldn't help heaving a long sigh, but for the people of Double-click Company, it was a different reaction when they heard that they wanted to cooperate with Enron Company.

"Kenneth is here just to cooperate with us?"

After Kenneth left, Greg hurried in and asked Song Yang. Irene, Ryan and others behind him were also staring at Song Yang. This is the president of a giant company in America, and he came to cooperate with him personally. This is unimaginable for them.

Song Yang nodded, but there was not much joy on his face, "This week, go to the Enron headquarters to talk to them!"

"This is an opportunity for us!" Greck said.

You have to know how many companies have gone to great lengths just to be able to get involved with those big groups. Those giant companies, even if they leak something through their fingers, are enough for small companies to eat.

Not to mention the cooperation with giants like Enron, among other things, no one in Houston and Texas would dare to provoke Double-click Company anymore. As for the banks, they may also be willing to lend large sums of money to companies backed by giants. Higher-level relationships, and can get more orders, etc. These are the direct benefits of cooperating with giants!
"Maybe!"

It’s not easy for Song Yang to directly refute Gleick. He can’t just say that in a few years, Anran will kill himself. If he says it now, no one will believe it. After all, Anran’s annual revenue is now Who would have imagined that a tycoon with more than [-] billion US dollars would collapse his house?
When An Ran held the board meeting, Song Yang, Gele Ke and others came to the headquarters of An Ran Company.

It has to be said that Enron at this time is a representative of giant companies, and the entire headquarters building is quite luxurious. The [-]-story Enron headquarters, which cost [-] million dollars to build, is a landmark building in Houston and even in America.
The luxury of Enron's office is well-known throughout America. Not only in Houston, Enron's European headquarters in London is also under construction. It is said that standing on the roof of the London headquarters, you can have a panoramic view of the back garden of Buckingham Palace. That building The renovation cost alone has cost 3000 million pounds.

Especially when entering the headquarters building, looking at the over 1-square-meter coffee shop with a huge area and luxurious decoration, which is specially used for the leisure and enjoyment of the people in the headquarters of Anran, Song Yang unconsciously thought of the light of a certain domestic product, which specializes in cutting Wall Street Some lucky coffee with leeks.

Song Yang was stunned by the luxurious decoration of Anran's headquarters. Various artworks, woodcuts and other decorations that were worth a lot of money were hung on the walls.

It is said that when Enron’s headquarters building was being decorated, the flower shops in Houston were sold out, and all the flowers in Houston were bought by Enron and stuffed here. Of course, it is rumored that the company responsible for decorating this building is a Enron's board of directors executives and his wife established it together, as to whether it's true or not, it's hard to say...

After entering the meeting room of Anran headquarters, Song Yang and his group attracted a lot of attention. All the directors and shareholders of Anran looked at Song Yang curiously.

"This is Jeff!"

Seeing Song Yang coming in, Kenneth introduced Jeff Skilling, the No. [-] person in Enron and his right-hand man, who was in charge of Enron's finances, to Song Yang.

"Song, I mentioned it to you, Houston's technological genius!" Kenneth said to Jeff.
