Back To 1995

  Chapter 1195 Walk the path of others, let them have no way to go

Listening to Song Yang's words, Wesley rubbed his hands. Ever since ICQ was taken back by Song Yang, the ICQ founder team headed by Irene and Wesley took over ICQ again. The development team is busy.

After taking over the ICQ team from Wesley, Wesley has been leading technical staff to update the new version of ICQ and develop Twitter and Skype. You can say that Wesley is not the best tech giant in Silicon Valley, but he is Song Yang used the most handy technicians.

  Wesley doesn't have the eccentric temper and arrogance of those well-known technical experts. He has always been kind to Song Yang, and he doesn't compete with Irene for power or profit. He just wants to gain fame. Is this wrong? !

Wesley is like an old scalper. Since the development of Twitter and Skype, he has basically never taken a vacation. He eats and lives with the front-line technicians, and works hard to develop these two softwares that brought ICQ back to the peak. out.

After taking over the technical department from Wesley, the ICQ bugs and other problems that were originally complained by users have also been improved one by one. Wesley does not have the arrogance of top geniuses. He is good at listening to other people's opinions, even ordinary people. The opinions of users make Wesley popular with many technicians in the technical circle.

However, Song Yang did not treat his old scalper badly. Wesley also relied on ICQ to obtain the highest fame and fortune that Silicon Valley technicians can get. The father of Internet social networking, the father of Twitter, the father of Internet telephony, etc. is one of Wesley's many titles.

  In the future, he will definitely enter the American Internet Hall of Fame, and even the Federal Academy of Sciences. Wesley has already obtained all the honors that technicians can get.

   In addition to those titles that allow Wesley to pretend to be Bi on any occasion, Wesley's worth is also the ceiling of global technicians. His current worth has already exceeded the four billion dollar mark.

  For so many years, Wesley has received the highest salary in the technology industry, far exceeding the annual salary of the presidents of some large companies, and the salary is only a part of what Wesley can get in ICQ, and the big ones are dividends and equity awards.

When Song Yang sold the shares of ICQ to General Electric, Wesley also sold part of his shares. ICQ's stake.

Wesley knew what level of talent and vision he had, and he never thought of proving himself or anything. He just followed Song Yang firmly as a younger brother, and the facts have proved that he can still get the same honor as the richest man's younger brother. To the worth of hundreds of millions of dollars!

Of course, those who are proud of their talents and claim to be technical geniuses look down on Wesley's bastards, and are only willing to act as a ruthless code tool person. However, there are many people who scold Wesley and want to be Wesley's There are even more people. In the technology industry, everyone scolds Wesley, but everyone wants to be Wesley...

   "Song, I'm going to marry Tinsina during my vacation!" Wesley said, rubbing his hands.

   "The little Victoria's Secret supermodel?!"

Song Yang couldn't help asking in surprise, Wesley is also a diamond king and fifth-level figure. Although he is not as keen on partying as Gallo back then, he still hangs out with Evan Spiegel less often. Guy Evan is now the king of the new generation of parties in San Jose. Coupled with his relationship with Eric, the president of RICK, Evan's parties often invite Victoria's Secret supermodels and Hollywood stars to attend.

Tinsina is one of Victoria's Secret's new generation of supermodels, one of the top ten supermodels formed by Victoria's Secret. With Elsa Benitez's withdrawal from the runway, Monica Bellucci's focus has also turned to Hollywood Afterwards, Victoria's Secret supermodels also entered the fierce competition stage, and a group of new supermodels emerged to compete for the position of the world's number one supermodel.

Among them, Tinsina is quite famous, but Tinsina was able to hook up with Wesley. After Song Yang was surprised, he was not surprised. Elsa Benitez was at the same level back then and became a walking money printing machine. It was impossible to earn billions of dollars in her career running on the runway every day. Tinsina chose Wesley, the fifth diamond , and there is nothing strange about it.

Another point, although Wesley is not the most eye-catching one in the Song Yang camp, he is also a member of the Song Yang camp. As long as Tinsina walks with Wesley, whether she stays in Victoria's Secret To become a supermodel, with the help of Wesley's connections, to transform into a TV station or Hollywood is a matter of course. For Tinsina, a young model who has not yet become the world's supermodel, choosing Wesley is definitely a must. A shortcut to fame and fortune.

It is not surprising that people from Silicon Valley date and marry models and Hollywood stars. When Silicon Valley was the most frenetic a few years ago, those founders went to Los Angeles with a lot of dollars to have a good time, like Musk's first The second wife is also a figure from Hollywood.

   "Then I want to congratulate you Wesley in advance!"

  Song Yang smiled and said to Wesley, "However, I think you may need to ask Greg and ICQ's legal team to help you formulate a property agreement before you marry Tinsina!"

What kind of person is Tinsina, Song Yang is not very clear, what is she and Wesley together for, Song Yang doesn't care, Song Yang just doesn't want Wesley and Tinsina When something bad happened and it affected ICQ, Song Yang was really afraid that Wesley would not be able to play with Tinsina who was struggling in Vanity Fair.

Wesley could hear the meaning of Song Yang's words. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded heavily. He and Tinsina are fighting fiercely now, but he also knows that some things cannot be decided by likes and dislikes. In particular, you can't use a dollar to test human nature. That is not a test, but playing with fire and self-immolation. People's hearts cannot stand the test, especially if you use billions of dollars to test!

   "On your wedding day, the Bruno family will give you a big gift!"

  Song Yang said to Wesley, "However, after you get married, I'm afraid you will have to be busy for a while!"

  Wesley's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Director Bruno, ICQ has a new project?!"

Although he is used as an old scalper, Song Yang has never treated Wesley this old scalper badly. He and his technical team members have also gained fame and fortune in ICQ. He developed Twitter and Skype, and he only received dividends and equity rewards. It has grown a lot, and his subordinates, such as Kirk McMillan and others, have also made a lot of money, so they naturally tend to develop new projects.

   "Yes there are some new items!"

  After Skype was sold, the technical department led by Wesley actually began to take a break at this time, and there were some doubts about whether ICQ would launch new projects.

  Song Yang didn't hide anything about Wesley, and said directly, "Before launching the Twitter and Skype projects, I said that ICQ will continue to launch new projects in the future!"

Song Yang has always followed the principle that instead of being replaced by other companies, it is better to replace himself and let ICQ continue to launch new social platforms. Even if the meat is rotten, it is rotten in the pot. beat all...

   "Starting next year, ICQ will continue to launch new products and platforms. In addition to social products, it will also cooperate with Fortinet and Western Films to launch new products!"

  Song Yang looked at Wesley, "ICQ's R&D team and technical department will continue to expand and recruit more technical personnel!"

Wesley opened his mouth. To be honest, ICQ's technical department staff is already quite large. Although American technology companies are willing to invest in research and development, even among their peers, ICQ's technical staff are absolutely Not too little, and the research and development expenses invested are far ahead of Yahoo and other peers.

"Next, ICQ needs to launch new social platforms, such as LinkedIn, which is suitable for socializing in the workplace, Facebook, which is used for socializing with acquaintances on campus, Memorable, which is used for making friends with strangers, and the photo sharing platform INS and other social products. !"

  Looking at the stunned Wesley, he seemed surprised that Song Yang would launch so many social platforms in one breath, "The Internet industry is about to enter the era of mobile Internet, and the entire Internet industry will usher in a new reshuffle!

ICQ may not disappear, but it may be replaced. In order to maintain its current advantage, ICQ has only two ways, one is to acquire other competitors, but ICQ cannot acquire all competitors, and it is very likely that there will be fish that slip through the net , ICQ will pay a heavy price, just like Yahoo missed Google!

  Another way is that ICQ keeps launching new products, occupying those new fields, and attacking possible opponents! "

  Taking the path of others, leaving others nowhere to go, is sometimes a way of life.
