Back to 1995

The gluttonous feast of the Internet was jointly promoted by Wall Street institutions. Now that the big merger of ICQ has brought the frenzy of the Internet into a new stage, how could they be willing to smash the market at this time?

In just one day today, the entire Nasdaq index, led by ICQ, has risen by no less than 5%. The market value of a large number of Internet companies has skyrocketed today.

In just one day, more than 40 fresh leeks from America and at home and abroad poured into Nasdaq to open an account, all of which were touted by the media. Buying Internet stocks is to make money, and they want to enter Nasdaq Come get rich overnight.

Today's media, in addition to publicizing that the stock price of ICQ has skyrocketed, the stock prices of various Internet companies are collectively on the rocket, Song Yang has become the richest man of the new generation with the help of the Internet, they are using "examples" to prove that buying the Internet is to make a fortune, stimulating people at home and abroad Leeks, like moths to a flame, poured into Nasdaq.

Every time ICQ's market value soars, it is raising the ceiling of the Internet industry. With ICQ's gems ahead, other Internet companies can follow suit, and their stock prices and market value can continue to skyrocket.

The current ICQ is the benchmark of the Internet, and even a banner of the global Internet industry. Once ICQ collapses, the entire Internet industry may be brought into the ditch. In this case, how can major institutions self-destruct? Great Wall.

Major institutions, venture capital companies, pension funds, and large overseas investment companies in America all saw this, so they began to pile up ICQ stocks.

"ICQ may be the company with the most potential in America in the next ten years. No matter when you buy ICQ stock, you never have to worry about being locked up. Even if you get caught, it will only be temporary!"

Analysts at Goldman Sachs raved about ICQ stock, which is the best stock in America. If you don’t buy it now, you will regret it in the future. As long as you buy it, you don’t have to worry about losing money.

"The market value of US$500 billion may be just the beginning for ICQ, and we are witnessing the birth of a miracle!"

Analysts from Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, and other large and small securities institutions also touted ICQ in various ways, and even shouted that ICQ's market value of 500 billion US dollars is not a dream, it may be just the beginning.

In the morning, when Song Yang woke up from the club room, Irene had already left. She had just become the headmistress in charge of a 2000 billion dollar giant. Irene was in a state of excitement, how could she slack off.

Song Yang knew that it was impossible for Irene to step down as the head of ICQ at this time.

It's just that the current ICQ is not so easy to manage. Although the previous ICQ acquired America Telecom, Iger would not fight against Irene.

But now, whether the executives of NBC Group and Comcast TV Network are willing to listen to the order is unknown. Song Yang estimates that Irene and the executives of these two sides will inevitably compete with each other. ICQ in the future will inevitably have all kinds of bullshit and nonsense!
Song Yang got up and walked downstairs. The banquet last night was very grand. Many celebrities and powerful figures in San Jose and California were basically present. Coupled with the presence of media reporters, this banquet has become the most popular event in the technology industry in recent years. One of the greatest banquets in history.

Compared with yesterday's hustle and bustle, today the club has quieted down. Irene, Iger, Brian Roberts, Betts and others have left with various executives. Many reporters and media have received After a lot of materials, all the birds and beasts scattered and ran away.

When he came to the restaurant of the club, Song Yang poured a cup of coffee, and then he felt much refreshed.

"Let us welcome, the richest man of the Bruno family!"

Gallo, who still smelled of alcohol, walked in and shouted at Song Yang, holding a pile of newspapers and magazines in his hand. Last night, he and Evan Spiegel and others had a carnival. one night.

Gallo was much more excited than Song Yang. Song Yang's nominal value surpassed that of Bill Gates, and the Bruno family also became one of the wealthy families in America, just like the Gates family, because of the existence of Bill Gates , this family is now the top giants in America.

"Song, the media and reporters in the club are all waiting to interview you!" Gallo said excitedly to Song Yang.

Song Yang looked at a huge LCD TV in the restaurant, which was produced by Panda TV. After the first batch of TVs were sold out, Panda TV had already started working overtime to produce the second batch of LCD TVs, and began to sell them outdoors in the building. Advertising, shopping malls, arenas, stadiums, etc., provide large-screen giant LCD screens.

The production of these giant screens, because of the production process and cost, does not actually make a lot of money, but it can increase the popularity of Panda TV. In recent years, the most important thing for Panda TV is to increase its reputation and make Panda TV more popular. TV has become a golden sign of LCD screen!
Glancing at the TV, Song Yang saw several channels, which basically reported ICQ news and various inside stories. At this time, overseas media also began to ferment the news of this matter, and many overseas media were reporting this matter.

"During this time, I will not be interviewed by the media. Members of the Bruno family should not appear in front of the media either!"

Song Yang confessed to Gallo, who was talking excitedly about Gallo, he couldn't help opening his mouth when he heard this, but looking at Song Yang's expression, it didn't look like he was joking, and asked him to hold back what he said later in the throat.

Gallo knew that Song Yang would not say these words for no reason. After a while, Gallo tentatively asked Song Yang, "Is there something wrong?"

Song Yang shook his head, didn't say much, picked up a magazine and read it, "Only the one who laughs last is the one who wins. No one knows who will be the winner until the end!"

Hearing these words, Gallo showed bitterness on his face. He felt what Song Yang was talking about, but he couldn't figure it out. Gallo obviously felt that after the merger, Song Yang seemed to be a little more cautious than before. , Whether it was the media conference or yesterday's banquet, Song Yang basically didn't make much appearance.

Song Yang picked up a Time magazine, saw the cover above, and Song Yang couldn't help smiling, only to see that there was a photo of Immelt on the cover of the Time magazine.

The background color of the photo is gray. Immelt looks into the distance, making people know that this is a big shot. Below the photo of the person is seven followed by eleven zeros, which means that Immelt is in charge of the two companies, and the combined market value A giant company with more than 7000 billion US dollars, and next to the photo, there is a sentence, "Who is next?"

This sentence seems ordinary, but it has a feeling of "overbearing". It seems to say that as long as the company that Immelt targets, no one can escape his palm.

"This should be Song You's cover!" Gallo couldn't help but muttered.

In addition to Time Magazine, which published Immelt's photo, "People Magazine" used Irene's portrait. People Magazine commented on Irene, ushering in a new era of female professional managers!

"Nasdaq announced that it will readjust the index constituents. ICQ will become a new constituent stock and heavyweight in Nasdaq. It will also become the fastest technology company in the history of Nasdaq to become a heavyweight!"

Song Yang saw the American Securities Journal and released the news that ICQ will become a heavyweight stock affecting the Nasdaq index. In fact, the current market value of ICQ is enough to affect the rise and fall of the Nasdaq index.

Looking at those newspapers and magazines, Song Yang was suddenly attracted by the TV news coming from beside his ear.

"So, Mr. Buffett, you still wouldn't buy ICQ stock, would you?"

On the TV with a giant screen, the host of a financial channel in New York was interviewing Buffett. The host asked Buffett if he would invest in ICQ.

Buffett smiled, stretched out his hand, and made a helpless gesture, "I'm sorry, but I don't see anything worth investing in ICQ. This merger is like filling a cake with all kinds of fruits. It's tempting to look at, but it's impossible to do it.

I can't see any winners other than Bruno Song! "

During the interview, another voice came out. It was Munger, Buffett's partner and Berkshire's vice president. Although he did not appear in the camera, the voice still came out.

"If you mix raisins with shit, it's still shit. Internet stocks on Nasdaq are just that shit!"

Song Yang watched the news on TV without any disturbance in his heart. As a conservative investor, Buffett, this time, as always, expressed his disgust for technology stocks.

"Song, don't pay attention to him, some people are already outdated, but they want to change the times!"

At this time, Immelt, who entered the restaurant, came over with a plate of food, and said to Song Yang, his eyes were full of indifference and mockery when he looked at the TV.
