Back to 1995

Chapter 650 Thunderstorm
Bloomberg Businessweek's wealth list was the first to be thrown into a thunderbolt, directly pushing Song Yang's worth to an astonishing nearly 500 billion US dollars.

Everyone knows that there is a lot of water in the Internet industry now, but Song Yang's net worth can be pushed to such a point. Once the report on the Bloomberg wealth list came out, it still shocked the entire American media.

"Bruno Song is without a doubt the most investment-minded genius since the 90s in America, not even one of them!"

The editor-in-chief of the Bloomberg Fortune List lavishly praised Song Yang, "For this ranking, the Bloomberg Fortune List cited existing public information and surveys by third-party data companies.

Starting from the establishment of the first Internet digital advertising company Double-click, Bruno Song has established and invested in many companies, including Internet, telecommunications, mobile phones, TV and many other companies! "

"From double-click to Hotmail mailbox, and then from ICQ to American Telecom, Bruno Song has always been the vane of the Internet industry, leading one trend after another, but outside the Internet, Bruno Song reshaped the Alcatel mobile phone and developed The new generation of mobile phones, Bruno Song's changes to the mobile phone industry are like introducing digital advertising into the Internet industry!
At present, Bruno Song's net worth is mainly concentrated on ICQ, America Telecom, and Alcatel Mobile. The major shareholders of these three companies are all Bruno Song. On top of the US$[-] million, the most important thing is the stake in Yahoo! "

According to the Bloomberg Fortune List, Song Yang's main net worth is in ICQ, Alcatel Mobile, America Telecom and Yahoo shares. These investments alone account for more than half of Song Yang's net worth.

The rest of Double-Click, PayPal, PA Semiconductor, Sierra Games, Fortinet, Western Films, Yeadex, eBay, etc. are not worthless, but compared to these three companies that have the potential to become giants, they are considered trivial. up.

As for the rest of Siebel Automobiles, the Star Wish Foundation invested in Asia, Sohu, 8848, Yinghaiwei, Nippen Yahoo, Sammy Sega, etc., were not favored by Bloomberg’s wealth list, and they were basically regarded as losing money. Goods are looking at.

In other words, even if I saw it, I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, 8848, Sohu and other companies seem to be grass-roots teams, and they are far away from the mainland of America. No matter how you look at it, they don't seem to be profitable. It's something I learned later.

"If American Telecom and Alcatel mobile phones can go on the market, it is estimated that Bruno Song's value may increase again, but compared with Bill Gates, whose value has increased by 41% since last year, reaching 510 billion US dollars, Bruno Song Song still has a long way to go!"

In the past few years, the value of the people on the America's wealth list has grown ridiculously fast. Even if Bill Gates has not reached the exaggerated level of Song Yang's increase of more than 100 billion US dollars a day out of thin air, he can rely on Microsoft's market value, and Many investments have almost doubled their worth, exceeding US$510 billion!

This time the Bloomberg wealth list ranked Song Yang's net worth at the second place, surpassing the $460 billion Volvo family and the veteran stock god Buffett at the fourth place.

Buffett does not invest in the Internet and technology stocks, and has not been able to catch up with this wave of market. He is holding Coca-Cola, oil, and airlines. Ellison and his group, the technology upstarts whose worth doubled if they didn't agree with each other, still appear to be somewhat "faded" after all.

It seems that the value of Song Yangqi on the Bloomberg Fortune List is astonishing, but in fact he is still too conservative. He did not dare to give PayPal, Xueleshan Games, PA Semiconductor, eBay, etc. too high a valuation, otherwise it would be based on Silicon Valley. Based on the reference data given, Song Yang's worth is a bit too exaggerated. Even Bill Gates, whose worth has doubled every year, pales in comparison with Song Yang.

Although the American media, especially Bloomberg Businessweek, will not report too much on Song Yang's ethnic identity, and even tout Song Yang as a representative of the "America Dream".

But the status of the world's richest man, unless Song Yang really can't stop him, counting with his fingers, he just surpasses Bill Gates, Buffett and others, then the media will "recognize" Song Yang.

Otherwise, the Bloomberg wealth list will raise Song Yang's worth, but the position of the richest man still belongs to Bill Gates or Buffett!

Even the second richest man in the world has had a huge impact on the entire Internet, technology, finance, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and even Washington.

After all, it has only been a few years since Song Yang made his debut. Bill Gates built Microsoft "from scratch" and worked hard for more than ten years before he slowly climbed to the throne of the richest man in America and the world. But Song Yang, it's only been a few years In time, just relying on the spring breeze of the Internet, his net worth has skyrocketed all the way. He really doesn't talk about martial ethics!
After the Bloomberg wealth list, Forbes also released a new issue of the wealth list. It is basically the same as the Bloomberg wealth list. It also ranked Song Yang in second place. Song Yang only spent more than one billion US dollars. The gap, "regret" after Bill Gates.

However, Forbes also stated in the list, "Many companies in the hands of Bruno Song, such as American Telecom, Alcatel Mobile, PA Semiconductor, PayPal, etc., are not listed. If these companies can be successfully listed, then Forbes needs to reevaluate Bruno Song's net worth, this may set a new record!"

The meaning of Forbes is very clear, as long as Song Yang puts all the miscellaneous companies in his hands on the market, then Song Yang's worth will surpass Bill Gates without any problem, and may even set a new record.

As soon as the reports on the Bloomberg Fortune List and Forbes came out, they were immediately reported by major American media, and the international media also began to repost them. The discussion on Song Yang's worth was also endlessly debated.

Many media in Texas and Houston were dissatisfied with Forbes' report. The Houston Chronicle even directly declared that Song Yang's worth had surpassed that of Bill Gates. It was because the Forbes media's calculation method was wrong...

Time Magazine also put Song Yang's figure on the cover. This is the second time Song Yang has appeared on the cover of Time Weekly. The last time Song Yang was on the cover of Time Weekly was an angry horse in fresh clothes. The sweet car, BMW, is surrounded by a group of models next to the Ferrari, which is full of dollars.

This time, it is different from the last time. The cover of Time Magazine is mainly gray and a little more solemn. In the middle of the cover, a throne appears. Under the dim light, Song Yang is sitting on the throne boldly, but In the dim light, his face was somewhat faintly visible.

If you observe carefully, you will find that Song Yang is wearing three diamond rings on his left hand, on which are the LOGO logos of ICQ, America Telecom and Alcatel mobile phones, and a deck of playing cards scattered on the ground. Logos for companies like PayPal, ebay, Western Films, etc.

In the past few years, it is not uncommon for people in the Internet industry to be on the cover of Time Magazine, but Song Yang's two consecutive appearances are enough to prove the attitude of Time Magazine or the media industry towards Song Yang.

"We all know that some people will change this era, but when that day comes, it will still make countless people feel incredible impact.

Perhaps, Bruno Song has changed this era. His imprint has already appeared in the Internet and technology industries. One day in the future, everyone will feel it! "

Time Magazine's evaluation of Song Yang, or Yu Yu's evaluation of the Internet industry, the listing of ICQ, and the skyrocketing value of Song Yang, all show that the Internet industry today has entered the room and can send a person to the whole world The most valuable position!
Time magazine replaced the Internet with Song Yang, threatening that the Internet is changing the whole of America, and all the people living in this land!
When Song Yang woke up from the North Shore Manor, he still felt a tingling pain in his head. He couldn't remember how much alcohol he was drunk last night.

Song Yang only remembered that this was the time he drank the most, and what he remembered was that after Jenny helped him back to the bedroom, it took most of the night to stop. Jenny was extremely hot last night.

Getting up from Jenny's octopus-like entanglement, Song Yang suffered a headache and went to the bathroom to rinse before recovering.

"That gang of media did it on purpose. They didn't want Song you to be the richest man. Damn it, they took away the richest man from the Bruno family..."

As soon as Song Yang came downstairs, he heard Gallo's voice filled with righteous indignation, even more angry than Song Yang.

Sitting down, Song Yang ate the steak. From last night to now, Song Yang was full of wine and didn't eat much at all.

After taking the newspapers and magazines in Gallo's hands, Song Yang casually glanced at them. Almost all the reports about Song Yang were reported by media, large and small. Some questioned whether Song Yang's worth was so high, and some regretted Song Yang failed to replace Bill Gates.

After Song Yang took a few glances, he threw the magazines aside. The position of Bill Gates in the team really didn't interest Song Yang much, it was just a false name.

To say that Bill Gates has indeed gained power now, but he is also entangled in various conspiracy theories. All kinds of dirty water are poured on Bill Gates, and it seems that he is responsible for all bad things. One of the most unpopular people in America.

With Bill Gates standing in front of the thunderstorm, Song Yang wished that he would stand up for a few more years, otherwise Song Yang would be the one who was conspiratorial.

"Internet concept stocks rose sharply today, Yahoo rose 7%, AOL rose more than 4%, Microsoft's market value reached 4000 billion US dollars for the first time, ICQ, which was listed yesterday, hit a new high today, and the stock price reached 87 US dollars..."
