Chapter 60 Cake
"Song, do you have any ideas?" Kenneth asked Song Yang when he saw that Song Yang was in a daze.

Song Yang put away his thoughts, shook his head and said to Kenneth, "I just remembered, there are still some things that need to be dealt with by the double-click company!"

Looking at Song Yang, Kenneth suddenly said meaningfully, "Song, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future!"

Looking at Kenneth's eyes, Song Yang didn't know if he saw something, but Song Yang still just nodded.

"Song, it's a pity, you don't know what kind of party you missed tonight!" Jeff Skilling said to Song Yang in a regretful tone.

Jeff Skilling will hold a rather large-scale party to celebrate the approval of today's new project in the evening. Jeff brought a lot of things to Enron, like the party in the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", that is Jeff took Wall Street to Enron.

Seeing Song Yang leaving in a hurry, Kenneth said to Jeff, "I bet, he must have thought of something new!"

Jeff shrugged his shoulders, "This kid is indeed a genius, but he couldn't have entered Enron!"

Kenneth only paid attention to Song Yang, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After Song Yang left, Kenneth and Jeff immediately began to discuss the projects of Enron Online and Financial Energy. This is what they paid attention to. .

After Song Yang returned to the small apartment in the Harbor Building, he called Gallo to come over immediately.

Gallo, who didn't know where he was fooling around, hurried over with a few maps in his hand, and couldn't help complaining, "Song, this is not a good habit, you don't know that I am discussing life with Haili... "

Song Yang ignored Gallo, took several state maps from him, and spread them all on the table.

Gallo looked at the maps of Chicago, New York, New Jersey and other places, and then at Song Yang who was staring at these maps. Gallo inexplicably remembered the night when Song Yang decided to establish the double-click company, and he had the same expression.

"Song, do you have a new plan?" Gallo couldn't see any tricks in those maps, but Gallo didn't dare to say that he was looking for a psychic this time. He watched TV for a few minutes last time. Song Yang came up with a double-click company. Looking at the map this time, Gallo was not sure what Song Yang would come up with.

Song Yang took out a pen, starting from Chicago, connected to New Jersey in New York in a straight line, looked up at Gallo and said, "It takes at least 800 miles!"

Gallo listened to these inexplicable words, then looked at the map, his mind became even more confused, "Song, what do you want to do!"

Song Yang threw the pen aside, pointed to the straight line drawn, and said something to Gallo that made his scalp tingle, "Build a dedicated broadband line here!"

Gallo opened his mouth wide, stared blankly at Song Yang, and couldn't help but pinch himself. Only then did he realize that it wasn't a hallucination. He just heard that Song Yang was going to build a broadband line between Chicago and New York!
"Build a broadband line?" Gallo said for a long time before he came back to his senses, and looked at Song Yang in shock, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Although Gallo is not a communication expert, he also knows how much it will cost to build a communication line. In the whole of America, only telecom giants like Telephone and Telegraph, Verizon, and Comcast can With such strength and qualifications to do it.

Unexpectedly, Song Yang wanted to compete with the Telephone and Telegraph Group for business, and Gallo wanted to invite the psychic again.

After taking the cigarette from Gallo, Song Yang took another deep breath, and said to Gallo who was still dazed and shocked, "Next year is an opportunity, this opportunity is missed, we may not have such an opportunity for the rest of our lives !"

Just now at Enron, when Kenneth and Jeff mentioned that next year the general will implement a new telecommunications bill in America, Song Yang inexplicably remembered a news report he had read in his previous life.

Song Yang was quite impressed by the news. A futures trader on Wall Street saw high-frequency futures traders. Regarding the speed requirements of high-frequency traders on Wall Street, high-frequency traders on Wall Street only need 13 per thousand to complete a transaction. Second.

The so-called high-frequency traders rely on the arbitrage of extremely small price differences between Wall Street and the Chicago Board of Trade on the same products. The major investment banks on Wall Street in later generations can earn more than 200 billion US dollars every year by relying on this!

And the futures trader, seeing this, raised funds, pulled a dedicated network cable from the Chicago Board of Trade to Wall Street, and increased the network speed by 13 milliseconds. This network cable was sold to hundreds of futures traders in major Wall Street investment banks. Members, the five-year use right was sold for 30 billion dollars!

Song Yang is also going to do the same thing now. Although the times are different, even if Wall Street and the Chicago Board Options Exchange have not fully entered the era of computer trading, the demand for transaction speed also exists. A one-second transaction, not to mention what Song Yang brought them, is not as simple as one second!
In London in 1815, the Rothschild family used poor information to send people to report the Battle of Waterloo. Knowing about Napoleon’s fiasco in advance, they staged a play on purpose. For this reason, countless people in London went bankrupt, and the Bank of England was killed by them. took away.

Now Wall Street has begun to use computer trading. Although it has not yet fully entered the era of computer trading, browsing various news through computers has become the norm.

But Wall Street, like other places in America, still uses dial-up Internet access. Many people have never even heard of the term broadband. No matter how fast dial-up Internet access is, it is only 56KB.

At this time, if, between Chicago and New York, a broadband line is directly used for the use of Wall Street traders, providing them with a network speed of 512K or even 1M, the speed of those traders can be increased by 10 seconds or even 30 seconds, 1 What will happen in minutes?
To put it another way, using the route provided by Song Yang, I can get train tickets for the Chinese New Year several times faster than others, so I can experience what it feels like.

"Next year, the general manager will introduce a new telecommunications bill, which will relax the conditions for entering the telecommunications and media industries. This is our chance to get a license to set up a dedicated broadband line from Chicago to New York!"

Song Yang raised his plan to Gallo. There was a saying that Song Yang didn’t tell Gallo, that is, if this line can be completed, then he can use it to break into the telecommunications industry in America, and take this line as the core to occupy the broadband network. In the market, there may not be no opportunities to wrestle with telecom giants such as the Telephone and Telegraph Group.

The most important thing is that once this line is completed, with this line, you can cash out billions of dollars in cash in advance from Wall Street!
With this money, Song Yang is fully qualified to enter some new fields, and he can also become a player in the American card game.

Gallo opened his mouth wide, listened to Song Yang's plan, held his head and called God a few times, which was really beyond his imagination.

"800 miles, and a straight line, Song, do you know how many houses, farms, shops, and mountains you have to pass?" Gallo cried out in pain.

America's land is a private land, and those private lands may not be willing to allow Song Yang to dig from their land.

Not to mention Song Yang, there are many big real estate developers in America who have a headache because of this, every time they go crazy, the reason why there is no planning law in Houston is also related to the sturdy folk customs, these cowboys really dare to carry Walking the streets with a shotgun.

Song Yang glanced at Gallo angrily. If it was easy to do, Song Yang would find someone to do it directly, and why would he come here.

If you want to build this more than 800-mile-long line, you must first raise money, at least two to three hundred million dollars. The construction team must also find someone who can rest assured that the entire project must be kept secret. You know, Song Yang has no chance at all.

The last point is to get a telecommunications license from America. Even if the telecommunications industry in America is liberalized, not everyone can get a telecommunications license.

This order is not easy to do, and Song Yang also understands this. If he wants to raise funds, he needs to ask for help from members like Adrian. Frant or something.

But once it is done, at least Song Yang's worth will soar several times.

"This matter needs to be kept secret. Without my permission, no one is allowed to say it, including Haili!" Song Yang said to Gallo.

Gallo quickly raised his hands, he knew the seriousness, this is a much bigger project than Double-Click Company, Gallo knew the seriousness, "I swear in the name of the Bruno family, this matter will not get out of me!"

"Find time to go to New York, and choose a suitable person for me!" Song Yang is inconvenient to go to New York now, which is a bit too conspicuous, but there is no problem for Gallo to go, and no one will pay attention to him.

In the small apartment, there were a lot of cigarette butts on the ground. Song Yang thought about the broadband line from Chicago to New York. This matter should be done as soon as possible, but it should not be rushed. There must be credit for the public relations of China Telecom and the media group.

But for Song Yang, there is almost a year to go. Song Yang needs to find a partner as soon as possible and start raising funds. Thinking of this, Song Yang couldn't help but find out the business card of Eric, the king of night shows in America. There is no doubt that this guy has a lot of connections all over America.

After looking at it for a while, Song Yang put the business card aside again. This cake is so big that Song Yang can't eat it by himself. He must find a helper, but he needs to find someone who is reliable enough.
