Chapter 732 Fishing in troubled waters
Song Yang's staggeringly expensive mansion in San Jose is under construction, and many media are waiting for its completion, and then directly put the title of America's No. [-] mansion on its head!

So far, Song Yang has invested more than 5000 million dollars in this manor. Due to the design modification and the addition of a lot of new equipment, the cost has soared again.

These are unavoidable problems. Elliott's Oswald Construction Company built this manor. It is his own. It is impossible to cheat Song Yang in engineering, but the cost of construction is much higher than that of Bill Gates. The cost back then was much higher.

When Bill Gates built the mansion in Seattle, there were frequent problems at that time. I don’t know if he was cheated, but think about it. It took seven or eight years to complete the construction of a manor, even if it is to build a skyscraper. , It is estimated that it has been completed long ago, but Bill Gates' manor took so much time.

Now Song Yang has also become a member of the leek cutting on the Internet criticized by the media. Song Yang's colleagues cashed out in fancy ways, used various names to cheat investors and leeks, and then spent time, wine, and various villas. , sports cars, dating with celebrities, swaying beautiful knives.

Of course, Song Yang doesn't have those guys, and he does things so unethically, but in the past few years, Song Yang has spent a lot of money to build luxury houses and ordered private jets like A319, which was questioned by some media. Song Yang is cutting leeks...

But in comparison, Song Yang's harvesting of ordinary leeks is considered rare. Basically, they transfer a large amount of equity to Wall Street and overseas institutions to cash out.

When leeks saw that the major shareholders had cashed out and left, they didn't even run away. It can only be said that they are still counting on the stock price to rise sharply. Do major shareholders understand the company better? !
In the past few years, Song Yang has not cut leeks on a large scale. By next year, Song Yang will basically cash out on a large scale. Yahoo shares can also be sold.

There are not a few of these shares held by Song Yang. It is impossible to sell them all at once. At that time, the stock price is estimated to be smashed before the cash is finished. He can only cash out slowly. Overseas institutions take over!
Ulf, who had finished his vacation downstairs, was sitting on a chair by the door. He saw Song Yang, and after a glance, he seemed to have entered a doze state again.

Regarding Wulf's state, Song Yang felt at ease. Over the past few years, Wulf has always followed the set of "a good fighter has no great military exploits", and basically did not let Song Yang encounter unexpected situations, unlike Bill. Gates can still encounter such outrageous things as being smashed in the face by a cake. One day, if Ulf gets busy, Song Yang will be worried instead.

In the room, she took off her old-fashioned professional women's suit, and wore a Song Yang loose coat. Irene was sitting on the sofa, shaking one calf, eating an apple, watching a variety show on TV, and showing off from time to time smile.

In Song Yang's place, Irene did not have the image of a professional strong woman in front of the media, and she had a look of her same age.

Glancing at Song Yang, Irene continued to gnaw on the apple, then watched the variety show of ICNC TV station, and then lowered her head from time to time to reply some emails and messages with her mobile phone and PDA. Master, Irene doesn't have any real vacations.

Now ICNC TV station also has its own characteristics, that is, the TV station and variety show, which successively launched several TV series such as "The Sopranos", "Shameless", and "The Big Bang Theory", as well as "America Idol", "America Singer". ", "Ellen Show" and other variety shows and talk shows, the ratings of ICNC TV station are now not much worse than other established TV stations.

After taking another big bite of the apple, Irene patted Song Yang's mischievous hand away, and said, "I heard that NBC's "Friends" invites you to be a guest star with that Monica Bellucci!"

Now, NBC Group has slowly begun to cooperate with ICQ, and the two sides have co-produced documentaries and TV series.

As NBC's most well-known TV series, "Friends" will invite some celebrities to guest stars from time to time.

As the most famous international supermodel this year, Monica Bellucci's shocking show at the Modena Motor Show in Italy made her popular in America. NBC TV station also wants to stir up the popularity. The publicity will invite Moni Ka and Song Yang, who made guest appearances in an episode of "Friends", are simply walking on the front line of eating melons, and they want to directly fill up the heat!

Song Yang had a headache. NBC TV station didn't do it on purpose. It's true that they wanted to gain popularity, but it was also a wave of publicity. Monica is a newcomer in Hollywood, and she can guest star in TV series like "Friends". The popularity will definitely soar.

Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, Jackson, Musk, and someone who knows everything, all like to make guest appearances in TV dramas and movies, because they can increase their popularity and increase their stock prices...

"That's just a media rumor!"

Song Yang hugged Irene, he definitely couldn't admit it at this time, and he absolutely couldn't take the blame.

Changing the subject, Song Yang asked Irene, "How is ICQ integrated now?"

Irene's face showed a bit of exhaustion, but also a little excitement, "Nominally, the integration has been completed, ICQ and America Telecom have formed a joint board of directors, and the financial audit has also been completed, but..."

These words are all for the media and Wall Street investors to listen to. In fact, ICQ wants to fully integrate with American Telecom. It will be impossible within a few years. The use of broadband, mobile network and other businesses, at most, is nothing more than an itch, and it seems that the performance is very glamorous.

Song Yang is already quite satisfied with this point, as long as ICQ and America Telecom unite in name and look like a family to outsiders, that's enough!
"After finishing the Saipan music store, ICQ will start a new round of mergers and acquisitions. These two years are the most suitable time. If you miss it, it will be very difficult to have such an opportunity!"

Song Yang said to Irene that every election in America is a good time to fish in troubled waters, just like the last time the Grand Commander directly let go of the shackles of the telecommunications industry.

It will be the same next year. The Donkey Party and the Elephant Party will basically turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and will not make things difficult for the big donors.

Just when the Alcatel P2 mobile phone continued to sell well and Internet digital music was in full swing, there was a sudden shock in the record industry. Warner, Universal, and Sony Music, together with dozens of small and medium-sized record companies and hundreds of well-known singers, formally sued through the RIAA Records Association. Scour and other music sites.

At this time, Diamond RIO, the world's first MP3 player, is officially on sale!
