Back To 1995

  Chapter 60 Cake

   "Song, do you have any ideas?" Seeing that Song Yang was a little dazed, Kenneth asked Song Yang.

  Song Yang put away the thoughts in his mind, shook his head and said to Kenneth, "I remember, there are still some things at the Double Click Company that I need to deal with!"

   Looking at Song Yang, Kenneth suddenly said meaningfully, "Song, I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate with you in the future!"

   Looking at Kenneth's eyes, Song Yang didn't know if he saw something, but Song Yang just nodded.

   "Song, it's a pity, you don't know what kind of party you missed tonight!" Jeff Skilling said to Song Yang in a regretful tone.

Jeff Skilling was going to hold a rather large party in the evening to celebrate the passing of today's new project. Jeff brought a lot of things to Enron, like the party in the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", which is Jeff brought Wall Street to Enron.

   Seeing Song Yang hurriedly leaving, Kenneth said to Jeff, "I bet he must have thought of something new!"

  Jeff shrugged, "This kid is indeed a genius, but he can't possibly enter the Enron company!"

Kenneth only paid attention to Song Yang, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After Song Yang left, Kenneth and Jeff immediately began to discuss the projects of Enron Online and Financial Energy. This is what they paid attention to. .

   After Song Yang returned to the small apartment in the Harbour Building, he called Gallo to come over immediately.

   Gallo, who didn't know where he was fooling around, when he hurried there with a few maps in his hand, he couldn't help complaining, "Song, this is not a good habit, you don't know that I'm discussing life with Hailey..."

   Song Yang ignored Gallo, took a few state maps from him, and spread them all on the table.

   Gallo looked at the maps of Chicago, New York, New Jersey and other places, and then looked at Song Yang who was staring at these maps. Gallo inexplicably remembered the night when Song Yang decided to establish Double Click Company, and he had the same expression.

"Song, do you have a new plan?" Gallo couldn't see any tricks on those maps, but this time Gallo didn't dare to talk about finding a psychic or something. He watched TV for a few minutes last time. Song Yang came up with a double-click company. Looking at the map this time, Gallo was sure that Song Yang would come up with something.

  Song Yang took out a pen, took Chicago as the starting point, and connected it straight to New Jersey, New York. He raised his head and said to Gallo, "At least 800 miles!"

   Hearing these inexplicable words, Gallo looked at the map again, and his mind became even more messy, "Song, what do you want to do!"

  Song Yang put the pen aside, pointed to the straight line he drew, and said something to Gallo that made his scalp tingle, "Build a dedicated broadband line here!"

   Gallo opened his mouth wide, looked at Song Yang in a daze, and couldn't help pinching himself, only then did he realize that it wasn't a hallucination, he just heard that Song Yang was going to build a broadband line between Chicago and New York!

   "Building a broadband line?" Gallo made a full noise before he came back to his senses and looked at Song Yang in shock, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Although Gallo is not a communication expert, he also knows how much it costs to build a communication line. In America, only telecommunications giants like the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Verizon, and Comcast are able to open it. With such strength and qualifications to do it.

   Hearing that Song Yang was going to grab business with the Telegraph Group, Gallo wanted to invite a psychic over again.

After taking the cigarette from Gallo, Song Yang took a deep breath and said to Gallo, who was still dazed and shocked, "Next year is an opportunity, this opportunity is missed, we may not have such an opportunity in the rest of our lives. !"

   Just now at Enron, Kenneth and Jeff mentioned that the commander-in-chief will implement a new telecommunications law in America next year, Song Yang inexplicably remembered a news report he read in a previous life.

Song Yang was quite impressed by the news. A futures trader on Wall Street saw the high-frequency futures trader's requirement for internet speed. A high-frequency trader on Wall Street only needs ten thousandths to complete a transaction. Three seconds.

   The so-called high-frequency traders rely on the extremely small spreads between Wall Street and the Chicago Board of Trade for the same products. The major investment banks on Wall Street in later generations can earn more than 20 billion dollars every year by relying on this!

And the futures trader saw this, raised funds, and pulled a dedicated network cable from the Chicago Board of Trade to Wall Street, increasing the speed of the network by 13 milliseconds. This network cable was sold to hundreds of futures traders in major Wall Street investment banks. Member, the five-year license sold for $3 billion!

Song Yang is also preparing to do the same thing now. Although the times are different, even if Wall Street and the Chicago Board Options Exchange have not fully entered the era of computer trading, the demand for transaction speed also exists. One-second transactions, not to mention what Song Yang brought to them, is not as simple as one-second!

In London in 1815, the Rothschild family used a messenger to send someone to inform the whole process of the Battle of Waterloo. Knowing Napoleon's fiasco in advance, they deliberately played a play. For this reason, countless people in London went bankrupt, and the Bank of England was seized by them. took away.

   Now Wall Street has begun to use computer trading. Although it has not fully entered the era of computer trading, browsing various news through computers has become the norm.

   But Wall Street, like other places in America, still uses dial-up Internet access, and many people have never heard the term broadband at all. No matter how fast the dial-up Internet connection is, it is only 56KB.

At this time, if, between Chicago and New York, a broadband line is directly pulled for the use of Wall Street traders, providing them with a speed of 512K or even 1M, and increasing the speed of those traders by 10 seconds or even 30 seconds. What about minutes?

  In other words, using this route provided by Song Yang, grabbing the New Year's train ticket is several times faster than others. You can experience what it feels like.

   "Next year, the commander-in-chief will introduce a new telecommunications bill, which will relax the conditions for entering the telecommunications and media industries. This is our opportunity to get a license and set up a dedicated broadband line from Chicago to New York!"

Song Yang mentioned the plan to Gallo, and there was something Song Yang didn't tell Gallo, that is, if this line can be made, it will be able to break into America's telecommunications industry, and use this line as the core to occupy the broadband The market may not have the opportunity to wrestle with telecom giants such as the Telephone and Telegraph Group.

   The most important point is that once this line is completed, with this line, you can cash out billions of dollars in cash from Wall Street in advance!

  With this money, Song Yang is qualified to enter some new fields, and he can also become a player in the game of America.

  Gallo opened his mouth wide, listening to Song Yang's plan, holding his head and calling out to God a few times, which was beyond his imagination.

   "800 miles, in a straight line, Song, do you know how many houses, farms, shops, mountains?" Gallo cried out in pain.

  America's land is private territory, and those private territories may not be willing to allow Song Yang to dig from their territory.

Not to mention Song Yang, how many big real estate developers in America have had a headache for this, every time they jumped around, the reason why there is no planning law in Houston is also related to the sturdy folk customs, these cowboys really dare to carry it down the street with a shotgun.

  Song Yang glanced at Gallo angrily. If this was easy to do, Song Yang would directly find someone to do it. Where would he find him.

In order to build this 800-mile-long line, it is necessary to raise money first, at least two or three hundred million dollars. The construction team must also find someone they can trust. The whole project must be kept secret throughout the whole process. Knowing this, Song Yang has no chance at all.

   The last point is to get a telecommunications license in America. Even if the telecommunications industry in America is released, not everyone can get a telecommunications license.

This order is not easy to do. Song Yang also understands this. To raise funds, you need to ask for help from members such as Adrian. Maybe Son of Chaos, Song Yang will also have to call for help to deal with the construction process. Frant or something.

   But once it's done, at least Song Yang's worth will soar several times.

   "This matter needs to be kept secret. Without my permission, no one is allowed to say it, including Hailey!" Song Yang said to Gallo.

   Gallo hurriedly raised his hands high, he knew the importance, this was a much bigger project than Double Click Company, Gallo knew the importance, "I swear in the name of the Bruno family, this matter will not spread from me!"

   "You find time to go to New York and pick a suitable person for me!" Song Yang is inconvenient to go to New York now, and it's a bit too eye-catching, but there is no problem with Gallo going, and no one will pay attention to him.

In the small apartment, there were a lot of cigarette butts on the ground. Song Yang thought about the broadband line from Chicago to New York. This matter must be done as soon as possible, but it should not be rushed. The new telecommunications bill will not be passed until next year. There must be some credit for telecom and media group PR.

But for Song Yang, it is almost a year away. Song Yang needs to find a partner as soon as possible and start raising funds. Thinking of this, Song Yang can't help but find the business card of Eric, the king of the night scene in America. There is no doubt that this guy has a lot of connections all over America.

   After taking a few glances, Song Yang put the business card aside again. This cake is so big that Song Yang can't eat it alone. He must find a helper, but he needs to find someone who is reliable enough.
