Chapter 41: Rifted Earth

   Chapter 41

  Technology is like the emergence of the Internet, like a magnifying glass, it connects everyone in the world together. This is sometimes a convenience, but sometimes, it may not be a good thing to be used by people with ulterior motives.

The original intention of   Enron's online website is of course good. It is the world's first Internet commodity trading platform. Whether it is natural gas, oil, precious metals, electricity or futures, even timber, advertising and other things, all can be traded on this platform.

And Enron Online has become the world's largest commodity trading market in just one year, with an annual turnover of more than 200 billion US dollars. You must know that it was the beginning of the century. Compared with Enron Online, Amazon was beaten. The presence.

  Enron Online website shows the magnifying effect of the Internet incisively and vividly. Global traders are attracted by Enron Online.

   After Kenneth left, Josiah immediately came to Song Yang's side, his attitude was even more pleasing, he could see the scene just now.

   In a place like this, the boss of a small law firm like Josiah can be considered a person with some status in Houston, but he is not enough to see. Kenneth and others will not even give him a second look.

   And Josiah saw that Adrian, Kenneth and others seemed to be befriending Song Yang. For Josiah, it was natural to hug Song Yang's thighs even more.

   "Enron wants to cooperate with Double Click?"

After coming out of the golf club, Greg couldn't help but ask Song Yang. Josiah also stared at Song Yang. Enron, headquartered in Houston, said something rude. What Kenneth said in Houston was probably better than what he said. Commander Amelica still works.

  Song Yang didn't show much interest, just shook his head indifferently, "No, An Ran may not be interested in Double Click Company!"

Song Yang wished that Kenneth had forgotten what happened today, let alone brought it to his door. Song Yang couldn't believe it. Kenneth, the other Enron management, and Arthur Andersen alone could make such a big noise. To say that Washington and the American Securities Commission are completely ignorant of it would be bullshit. The water in here is very deep!

   Hearing Song Yang's words, Greck and Josiah were a little disappointed, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed for not being able to hug An Ran's thigh.

   After leaving the golf club, Song Yang returned to Double Click Company and promised Adrian that Song Yang needed to get things done.

   Last night, Song Yang gave most of the people a holiday. In the entire Double-click company, only the technical department responsible for maintaining the system and the sales department were on duty. What Song Yang didn't expect was that Irene was there.

  Song Yang stood at the door of Irene's small office and saw Irene who was burying her head in sorting out the documents, "No rest today?"

Irene didn't seem to have expected that Song Yang would be here today. Irene, who was wearing casual clothes, showed her figure. She didn't wear those old-fashioned rimmed glasses. Come on, the value of appearance has risen by at least several grades.

"I still need to deal with the documents with several advertisers. Do you need me to make a cup of coffee?" Now Irene is Song Yang's assistant, helping Song Yang with various chores. Of course, making coffee is an important responsibility. one.

  Song Yang nodded, and when he turned to leave, he turned to Irene and said, "I said before, the prettiest without glasses!"

  Irene, who was teased by Song Yang, touched her cheek and glanced at Song Yang's background. After getting investment from WPP Group from Double Click Company, her sense of Song Yang changed.

When she first came to DoubleClick, it was to gain experience, but now Irene has a feeling that maybe Song Yang can really change the technology industry. At least now, the Internet industry in America is all because of DoubleClick. change!

When Irene went in with the coffee, Song Yang was talking with Ryan. Although Ryan asked for a high price, he was definitely worthy of his salary. Except for holidays, Ryan almost stayed in double-click and gave advertisements over and over again. The master is on the phone.

   And now he double-clicked the company, got the investment, he might go public, he might also get the equity, and he turned from a worker to a small capitalist, which made Ryan full of energy!

  Irene put down the coffee and was about to leave, but Song Yang casually pointed to the chair next to her. Irene hesitated a little, but sat down and stayed in the office.

   Now double-click the company, there is a shortage of people everywhere, Irene, a professional with an MBA background, Song Yang will use it sooner or later.

   "It's full now, in Houston?" As soon as Irene sat down, she heard Ryan's surprised voice.

   "Song, what we talked about, America's center is in New York, where the world's richest advertisers gather. Double-click should move its headquarters to New York, where it belongs to Double-click!"

  Song Yang shook his head, "Double-click is impossible to move. The headquarters can only stay in Houston. Double-click has been exempted from tax for one year."

   Hearing this, Ryan immediately knew what was going on. It must have been a powerful figure in Houston who found Song Yang and made a promise, otherwise Song Yang would not be so sudden.

   "Three hundred salespeople can be recruited, but I have to say that if the headquarters remains in Houston, it will be difficult for me to guarantee that I will be able to fulfill the performance promise for Netscape next year!" Ryan said helplessly.

   Seeing that the atmosphere in the office was a little dull, Irene, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said, "Actually, it's not impossible!"

  Song Yang and Ryan immediately looked at the little assistant, Song Yang glanced at Irene and motioned for her to continue.

  Irene said, "Double-click's headquarters can stay in Houston, and a branch can be established in New York. With the support of WPP Group, the advertising business in New York should be able to start soon!"

The idea of ​​   shocked Ryan. The broken company, which was established less than half a year ago, actually wants to open a branch. Isn't this a big step?

Song Yang was lost in his thoughts. Lane was right. During this period, at least before the mobile Internet era, America's technology and Internet center was in Silicon Valley, and the biggest investment came from New York and Wall Street. A place where the world's best technicians and the richest people gather.

   In the past few years, Song Yang will go to these two places sooner or later if he wants to continue to hang out in the Internet industry.

Song Yang raised his head and glanced at Ryan for a few times. Ryan was looked at inexplicably, and then he didn't know what to think, his face changed, "Song, you don't want me to go to New York, I'm just a salesperson, no Managed…”

   Saying that, Ryan felt a little guilty, but he was looking forward to it. If he had the opportunity to be the general manager, who would be willing to be a salesperson, even the best salesperson.

   "Why not, you are the most important member of Double-click Company, and the person who will be on the board of Double-click Company in the future!"

   "Shakespeare said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight," Song Yang poured Ryan a bowl of chicken soup, "I will also go to New York in the future!"

   "Get ready Ryan, after finishing the matter in Houston, I will announce to the owners of Double Click Company in the near future that you will become the general manager of Double Click New York Company!"

Establishing a branch now is indeed a big step, but now is the era when land is king, whoever grabs it is who, not only in the digital advertising market in New York, Song Yang will be established in overseas markets by the end of the year at the latest company.

   These days, if you want to log on to Nasdaq, you have to make a sound. If you make money or not, you have to build momentum first, so that everyone "feels" that the company is making money. That's enough!

Ryan left with an uneasy and excited mood. It had only been a long time before he was about to become a supervisor and become the general manager of a branch. This was an experience he had never had before for Ryan. If this was on the news Group is absolutely impossible.

   "Prepare some gifts for me!"

After Ryan left, Song Yang said to Irene that he wanted to go back to Greck's house. This time, of course, he wanted to prepare some gifts for Daana, Millia, Logan and others. Old Bruno, Have to prepare some.

Song Yang heard Gallo talk about the fact that several members of the Bruno family wanted to hold a family dinner at the old Bruno couple's side. As for what they were going to do, it was self-evident. People ask, Fu has distant relatives in the mountains.

   After coming out of Double Click Company, Song Yang went directly to the small apartment. After washing, Song Yang lay on the bed and couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

Since coming to America, Song Yang has been busy almost all the time in the past few months. Now the existence of Double-click Company has finally given Song Yang the capital to settle down in America, which makes Song Yang feel relieved. The feeling of the breath, the tense nerves, can finally relax.

Song Yang will spend part of the $12 million he got from WPP Group, in addition to the expansion of Double-click the company, not to mention that, like Bill Gates, he bought a Bombardier private jet if he had the money. When the air mount, or like Jim Clark, is directly a private yacht, Song Yang will at least choose a sports car as the vehicle.

   Being out-of-pocket is not the style of the Internet industry. Whether it is a sports car or a new house, it will not cost Song Yang too much.

   Next, Song Yang wants to invest the money and use this money to enter a new industry, whether it is to continue the Internet industry or enter the electronic hardware industry, Song Yang needs to start preparing.

As for which industry to enter, Song Yang needs to think about it. When he thinks of this, Song Yang can't help but have a headache. Now it seems that there are many opportunities in the Internet and electronics industries, but it is easy to enter the market, but it is not so easy to develop. , at least the money in Song Yang's hand is not enough to burn at all.
