Back to 1995

Chapter 87
Irene looked at Song Yang who was sighing, and wondered why Song Yang would show a regretful expression. She wondered if Song Yang was also regretting to transfer the operation rights of Hotmail mailboxes in these overseas regions.

There are quite a few partners on the list. For example, France, which has not changed color, wants to represent Hotmail mailboxes. France Telecom is also one of the largest telecom giants in Europe. Thanks to the status of the suzerain, there are more than [-] countries in Africa Regions are the markets of France Telecom.

France Telecom, acting as an agent for Hotmail mailboxes, still wants to use the brand of Hotmail mailboxes to better promote its own telecommunications business. Wherever there are Hotmail mailboxes, there is France Telecom business!
Song Yang looked at France Telecom, who had even thought of a slogan, and almost didn't scold Bilian.

Song Yang can imagine that France Telecom, who has obtained the agency right, will definitely play some fancy tricks. For example, in France, companies that do not install France Telecom services will not open Hotmail mailbox services for them. Song Yang is sure that with those gangs The company style of frying oil out of stones will definitely play this trick!
But after thinking about it for a while, Song Yang still couldn't refuse, and handed over the right to operate Hotmail mailboxes in France to France Telecom. At least in a short period of time, he could quickly promote Hotmail mailboxes to the whole of France.

If you don’t cooperate with France Telecom, the ghost knows what kind of methods those gangsters will use to disgust the Hotmail mailbox. As for using the Hotmail mailbox to cut the leeks of the French company, Song Yang can only temporarily express that he can’t help, and he will help those companies that have been cut leeks in the future. , Cut off a large piece of flesh from France Telecom!
In addition to France, the computer brand company under Siemens in Germany also intends to win the right to operate Hotmail mailboxes. As for Spain, Italy and other regions, it is basically a local telecom group that wants to win Hotmail mailboxes. local operating rights.

In these places, the Internet industry is still in its infancy. Except for telecommunications companies, there are no other Internet companies that can provide a "guarantee deposit" of more than 100 million dollars.

Song Yang looked at these overseas telecommunications giants, as well as big companies like Siemens, and felt that Hotmail mailboxes, in their hands, could really be used to their advantage, from an e-mail box to a network covering the local area. It is not impossible for Internet search, portal websites, games, and e-commerce companies to become giants in many industries...

It is hard to say whether companies like Telefónica can do good things, but there are more than enough bad things, and the means of attacking opponents can be said to be quite experienced.

"There are a few cooperative companies that are a bit special. Among them, Lao Maozi proposed to cooperate with Yandex, a new Internet search company owned by Lao Maozi. I asked the consulting company to check.

The founder of this Yandex is Arkady Voloz. Yandex was established to develop the first Russian-language search engine in Lao Maozi's history. The other party is currently unable to come up with a deposit of 150 million dollars. "

Irene thought about it and said, "However, based on the relationship between Lao Maozi and America, if the Hotmail mailbox enters directly, it may have a very bad impact on the Hotmail mailbox. Perhaps it is a good choice to choose Yandex to cooperate with Voloz !"

Song Yang couldn't help but look at Ai Lin a few more times. Apart from his management ability, Song Yang didn't expect that Ai Lin had a good international vision.

Lao Maozi and Eastern Europe did not connect to the global Internet with servers rooted in America until April last year, so Internet companies have just started in Lao Maozi.

Yeadex and Voloz are currently poor, not to mention giving a deposit of 150 million dollars, but whether they can survive is still unknown. The reason why I found the Hotmail mailbox is basically to test it out. Except for it, the whole Lao Maozi didn't have a second Internet company and came to Song Yang.

Song Yang stroked his chin, and said to Irene, "Go find Arkady Voloz and tell him that Hotmail can hand over Lao Maozi and Eastern Europe's operation agency rights to Yeadex for free, not only Hotmail, Double-click the company's Lao Maozi's agency rights, and you can also hand it over to him!"

Irene originally only wanted the Hotmail mailbox to be with Lao Maozi and had a partner, but who knew that Song Yang would hand over both the Hotmail mailbox and the local agency rights of Double-click to Voloz.

Greg, Marcus, and Gallo on the sofa also looked at Song Yang in surprise. That was an agency fee of 150 million dollars. If they cooperate with the old man's oligarch, there is definitely hope to get it. Now Song Yang actually wants to give this Yesdex for free.

However, Song Yang’s words were not finished yet, “Not only Hotmail and Double-Click, I can also invest in Yeadex with no less than 30 US dollars, but it is required to account for no less than 40% of Yeadex. Equity!"

Even Irene was shocked this time, Song Yang almost spent all his money to support Yeadex, Greg opened his mouth, and wanted to remind Song Yang that his financial situation was about to explode.

Before investing in Feita, and now investing in Yeadex, Song Yang's double-click, Hotmail mailbox, and ICQ are still waiting to be fed!
This investment, Song Yang thinks it is worthwhile, Lao Maozi's Nagata is the largest Internet market in Europe, and the number of users is quite large.

But the old man who is famous for his lack of martial arts, is famous for turning his face and denying his account. If you invest directly there, no matter how famous you are, the old man dares to turn your face and deny others.

On the contrary, the investment is much better. If Yeadex is supported to become Lao Maozi, or even the largest Internet company in Eastern Europe, and occupy Lao Maozi's portal, search, e-commerce, maps, e-commerce, social networking, games and other Internet industries, then today I am afraid that this investment can be returned countless times.

"Except for Eastern Europe, that is Asia. PCCW in Hong Kong City wants to get the right to operate Hotmail mailboxes in Southeast Asia, and the first company in mainland China is called... Yinghai Weide Internet Company, intends to cooperate with us , but the other party also has objections to the deposit, and the rest are basically small companies in Singapore, Bangzi, Siam and other places, and there are not many Internet users.”

Now Asia is considered a desert of the Internet, because these places have just connected to the global Internet not long ago, and there are not many users at all. There are 6000 to 2000 million Internet users in the world, and America has as many as [-] million, so America is considered to be The center of the Internet, companies like Netscape, are not very interested in Asia, Eastern Europe and other places. At present, only Song Yang's Hotmail mailbox is developing markets in these regions.

No wonder Irene, when it comes to the Internet market in Bangzi, Siam and other places, I don’t have much interest. Now the Internet users of Bangzi add up to less than [-], which is already considered too many in Southeast Asia.

As for the mainland, if it weren't for Song Yang, Irene wouldn't be very interested in the place where the first Internet company was born this year, and she would be even less interested in Ying Haiwei.

Song Yang took a look at the companies that wanted to represent Hotmail, not to mention Yingke, a company established by Mr. Li. No one knows investment better than the old Li's family, except for a certain blunder.

Yingke wants to act as an agent for Hotmail, and it must be for tricks, but apart from Mr. Li, Song Yang can't think of anyone else in Hong Kong City who would turn his attention from the land to other places.

As for Ying Haiwei, Song Yang was silent for a while, and then said, "I agree with these cooperations. As for the deposit fee, let's see how much they can afford. If I can't afford it, I will buy shares of these brands with agency rights. Asian markets, Hotmail The mailbox must be entered!"

Hearing that Song Yang wants to make money even if he loses money, Irene, Greg and others are reluctant to speak again. Now this small team is basically headed by Song Yang. His decision is basically made by companies such as Double Click and Hotmail. The decision, this is unimaginable in Yahoo and Netscape, but in the current double-click, Hotmail mailbox, ICQ and even American Telecom, it is all decided by Song Yang.

After Irene finished speaking, Gleick took out some documents, one of which was a lawyer's letter, "This is a class action lawsuit against Hotmail in New York, and it has been accepted by the New York District Federal Court!"

Looking at the lawyer's letter, Song Yang casually threw it aside, not caring at all, "Let them sue, I won't even give them a cent for the settlement!"

The gang in New York filed a class action lawsuit against Hotmail. Not only did it have no impact on Hotmail, but it seemed to be an alternative propaganda, which made many people curious about Hotmail. Almost on the day the lawsuit was filed, Hotmail was downloaded in New York. The volume reached a peak again!
"I heard that Adrian is submitting to the Houston City Council to introduce America's first e-mail management law. As long as this management law is passed, these lawsuits against Hotmail mailboxes will be a thing of the past!"

Song Yang said with a smile, Adrian pushed Houston to introduce the e-mail management law, which seemed to increase the constraints on Hotmail mailboxes.

But in fact, once the management law is passed, it means that the Houston department has approved the Hotmail mailbox.

In the future, from Houston to Texas, and then to the whole of America, Hotmail mailboxes will appear as office products in various federal authorities, and now Houston is implementing the first mailbox management law, which is actually based on Hotmail mailboxes as the standard!
