Back To 1995

   Chapter 108 Hole Cards

   "The Internet welcomes its first female executive!"

   "Double click coming soon!"

   "Double-click ushered in great changes, Meg Whitman became the new head of Double-click!"

After the announcement of    Whitman's contract with DoubleClick, it quickly attracted many media reports in the Internet industry.

   itself is one of the most famous Internet companies in America. Now it has welcomed a female president. Coupled with rumors such as the start of listing, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

   When Song Yang returned to San Jose, Double Click Company was officially reorganized, and Whitman and Ryan formed the joint CEO of Double Click Company.

  Double-click’s board of directors has also ushered in changes. Representatives of Song Yang, Greck, WPP Group, Yahoo, and the newly nominated Whitman, Ryan, and Erin have formed the new board of directors of Double-click.

WPP Group, which has been clamoring for Song Yang to change the board of directors of Double-click, suddenly found out after the reorganization that it is not as good as before the change. Before that, there were only a few people on the board of directors of Double-click. WPP Group was the second largest shareholder and Yahoo was the third largest shareholder. On important matters, if they unite, they can also oppose Song Yang's decision.

  After the reorganization, there are four more people on the board of directors at once, basically all of them are from Song Yang, why do you still need to vote?

   But no matter how you think about it, the board of directors of Double-click Company has been reorganized, and everyone understands that Double-click will start sprinting for listing next!

  Whitman is indeed an old-fashioned professional manager. After taking over Double Click, he immediately began to deal with the large and small affairs of Double Click, and began to restructure the management system of Double Click.

  Whitman really doesn't understand Internet technology, but she is willing to ask questions and start learning about Internet technology, which makes Double Click's technical department quickly accept the new head.

  In addition to technically, Whitman also re-communicated with sales, customers, after-sales, overseas partners, etc., and announced that he would complete a meeting with all customers before Christmas!

At the first plenary meeting of Double-click Company, Whitman issued a military order to complete the listing next year and increase its performance by 300%. Whether this is bragging or not, Whitman did in her own way, Quickly built up prestige in Double Click Company!

   On the plane to San Jose, Irene, who was sitting next to Song Yang, was studying with a document. This was Whitman's new strategy for double-clicking these days and there were changes.

The change in the double-click is almost visible to the naked eye. Irene, who has always regarded herself highly, has to admit that she is more than a little tender compared to Whitman, who has been famous for a long time, whether it is experience or means. superior.

The most direct problem is the customer problem, that is, those advertising sponsors. Erin never thought of getting on a plane to meet across several states, but Whitman made all appointments and flew all over America. past.

Even for those big financiers who are unwilling to cooperate, Whitman personally called them and sent them an email to ask why they were unwilling to cooperate with Double-click. This kind of putting down his body and breaking the casserole asked to the end, just to understand why he was unwilling to cooperate. Cooperate with double click, or where it is not good enough, to be ready for the next time.

   Putting down the document, Irene took off her glasses, rubbed her sore eyes, and said to Song Yang, who was beside her, "I have a hunch that the revenue from DoubleClick next quarter will probably usher in an explosion!"

  Eileen was reluctant to admit it, but in fact it was the case. Whitman's methods were not necessarily superb, but in the details, he was reluctant to make any mistakes.

   Song Yang looked at Irene's expression and couldn't help but smile, "I believe you will definitely become the best professional manager in America in the future!"

Investors from Netscape, Yahoo and other Internet companies will find an experienced professional manager for the young founder after investing. On the one hand, the venture capital company really wants to increase the control of the company. right.

   On the other hand, we also need those professional managers who can steer the direction of the ship so as not to be blown away. Of course, there are more feathers all over the place. After all, Whitman is still a minority!

  Song Yang and Irene talked for a few words, and just wanted to get close to say a few private words, but there was the sound of Greg's cough, and Irene couldn't help rolling her eyes.

  The plane landed in San Jose. This time, not only Song Yang, but Irene, Greck, and Gallo also came, and will work here in the future.

   Even Big Cream Cake, if not already enrolled in Houston, maybe it will follow.

Even so, I don't know if it was a sixth sense attack. During the few days in Houston, Jenny didn't give Song Yang a chance to be alone with Irene. On the last day, she even dragged Song Yang to the small apartment and didn't let go. If not This body has been exercising all the year round, Song Yang feels that the cows can't pull the ground a little, of course, Jenny is not much better, and even has no strength to send Song Yang to the airport, and is still recuperating.

   Back in San Jose, it seems that the rhythm has returned to the past. Whitman took over the double-click, and Song Yang doesn't need to worry too much.

  Song Yang's thoughts are mainly on ICQ, Hotmail, and America Telecom.

The impact of   email voting was slightly beyond Song Yang's expectations. Almost in Texas, Kansas and other states, the purchase of Hotmail mailboxes was announced to support the votes of voters in the state.

  Netscape, Yahoo, AOL, Lycos and many other famous websites in America are not covering up, and they each announced the launch of mailboxes.

Seeing this report, Song Yang curled his lips and threw the newspaper aside. Before, these companies were all hypocritical with Song Yang, threatening to not compete with Song Yang, but now they don't even act. Take it.

   It would be **** if there were no people from the Donkey Party doing things behind this and trying to weaken the influence of Hotmail in the store mailbox industry.

   However, these Internet companies are still a while away from launching mailboxes and catching up with Hotmail's performance.

   But it won't be too long. When these email brands are all online, the email battle will begin. By then, any means can be used. Song Yang has to think about it, and he has to speed up the search for Hotmail.

   "Song, Prince is here!"

  Song Yang is located on a golf course in San Jose. Thousands of companies gather in San Jose, bringing San Jose a variety of facilities for the rich and leisurely entertainment.

Song Yang raised his head and saw a man with an aquiline nose and a stern face. He walked over in a swift manner. Prince was not tall, and he had a strong sense of rank. Prince's figure was similar to that of Gallo. It was almost the same, even a few points shorter, but for some reason, Song Yang could see at a glance that Gallo was not Prince's opponent.

Song Yang and Prince are both looking at each other. Prince still does not have the style of the king of mercenaries. The war madman who scolded all the congress masters during the congress investigation and claimed that he was not governed by the congress is still there. No trace.

Prince is also looking at Song Yang. If he hadn't known in advance, Song Yang was the largest investor in Blackwater Company. In any case, Prince would have thought that Blackwater could not be associated with this Internet upstart. It was too much. Goodbye!

   "Prince, I'm glad you can come!" Song Yang extended his hand to Prince and said.

   "I have to come!" Prince also stretched out his hand towards Song Yang and squeezed it hard.

  Song Yang made a gesture of invitation to Prince, and the two went to the golf course together. With Prince's family background, golf is basically a social sport, and he played a lot more than Song Yang.

But Prince came here today, not to compare his golf skills with Song Yang, "Song, I'm surprised that you invested in the Blackwater Company. I think the news spreads, and the technology industry in America is not very good. will believe!"

   "But America, you need some black water, don't you?" Song Yang turned his head towards Prince and said after another shot.

   "Of course." Prince raised his brows. He thought Song Yang would tell him a lot of truth, but he didn't expect Song Yang to be so straightforward.

In the face of Prince, Song Yang didn't talk about anything. In the face of people who came from the army, it was useless to talk about those people. In addition to Prince's background, he is probably more serious than Song Yang when it comes to the morals in this. It is clear that Song Yang is not interested in playing monkey tricks in front of Prince. He came to Prince today to make an appointment with him for three chapters!

   "A project I invested in needs the help of Blackwater Company. This is the original intention of establishing Blackwater."

"Is this project important?" Prince asked. He knew that Blackwater had recruited a group of people who were dealing with something, but he didn't know the specific situation. Of course, Prince didn't look down on those people. Considered a mob.

  Song Yang nodded solemnly, "Very important!"

"Of course, in addition to this project, I also found that America needs a place to use Blackwater security. Whether it is in America or overseas, the security market is growing rapidly, and Blackwater may be able to make some contributions to America. !"

Now Song Yang said these words, his face did not change color, Prince's mouth twitched when he heard it, obviously it was to make money, Song Yang also said it was really righteous and dignified, and Heishui was for America. contributed

After playing a few balls, Song Yang stopped, motioned for the caddie to leave first, then turned to look at Prince, "Prince, I know what you want to do, whether you want to form a mercenary, go to Prince. I won't stop you from participating in overseas conflicts or other employment activities, and I can even provide financial support, but I don't want Blackwater to get into trouble in name, you should understand!"

   Blackwater needs people like Prince to develop, otherwise it will depend on Gallo. In another ten years, Blackwater is estimated to be a small fifth-rate security company.

The development of black water is also beneficial to Song Yang. Skin color is always a topic that cannot be avoided in America. Song Yang does not want to be a fat sheep in the eyes of some people in America. The means to target, or even to be committed suicide.

If Blackwater can become America's largest security and employment group, at least Song Yang has a countermeasure in his hand. Those who want to use out-of-rule means against Song Yang should also consider whether they will be used by Song Yang. The same means fight back!
