   When Song Yang and Jenny came out of the New York airport, they were immediately enveloped by a flash of light.

Jenny, who appeared in front of the camera for the first time, even swore to Song Yang when she was on the plane that when she and Song Yang appeared in the media camera, they would definitely be better than the previous celebration banquet, and the photos of the bright scene of America were circulated Those blue pools above are much stronger.

As a result, as soon as they got out of the airport, a bunch of reporters and the media, and the flash of the camera shone on them, Jenny's body began to stiffen, and her hand firmly grasped Song Yang's hand. She never thought that there would be danger here. With so many reporters and media coming out, this battle has never happened before.

  Today, there are a lot of reporters and media at the New York airport, and there are even several TV stations' interview cars parked outside.

Most of the people who come are from the media in the fields of technology, Internet, finance, finance, etc. Netscape is undoubtedly the focus of these days, and today these media are actually squatting to see how many people are ringing the bell for Netscape. Come, of course, how many media among them received Netscape public relations fees, it is unknown.

   Some media who recognized Song Yang took the lead to surround Song Yang and Jenny, "Excuse me, Bruno Song, are you here to participate in the listing of Netscape?"

A specially tailored suit, coupled with years of exercise, and a face that is no worse than a Hollywood star, made Song Yang the focus of attention near the airport exit. Coupled with a valuable watch specially worn by Song Yang, Song Yang, who embraced Jenny, showed the style of America's upstart.

I don’t know how many shots and films this scene attracted and obliterated. The beautiful women in fresh clothes and angry horses and cars are vividly reflected at this moment. Seeing this interview today, I am afraid I don’t know how many people are going to fall into the Internet pit. , just to be like Song Yang overnight...

Glancing at the media being interviewed, it was a technology newspaper in Silicon Valley. Song Yang nodded and said with a smile facing the camera, "Yes, I received an invitation from Anderson and Jim. Tomorrow will be a day that will go down in history, no People are willing to miss out.”

   "Song, how do you predict the performance of Netscape's stock price tomorrow? Some Wall Street experts believe that Netscape deserves its current valuation!"

A reporter from a small local TV station in New York secretly shoved the microphone in front of Song Yang, and asked Song Yang a question that was obviously malicious. This was bullying Song Yang's youth, and he wanted to dig out some serious information from Song Yang. , The people interviewed today are all touting Netscape, which is not to say that Netscape attracts attention. The TV station in front of you is obviously trying to do something.

Song Yang first glanced at the logo of the TV station that asked this question, and put it on the blacklist in his heart, and in the future, don't think about asking a sentence from Song Yang's mouth, "No one can recognize what happens tomorrow, but I think the world will Investors will love the Internet!"

   As soon as these words came out, a reporter from the official media "San Francisco Chronicle" next to him immediately asked Song Yang, "Song, do you think Netscape's stock price is undervalued?"

This is obviously a routine. To say that it is not underestimated will offend Anderson, Jim Clark, and a bunch of Wall Street investors who have invested in Netscape, but to say that it is underestimated, those who will buy Netscape stock quilt tomorrow, see today's report, I'm afraid I have to scold Song Yang hard.

   But hearing this question, Song Yang's face became serious, as if he was asked about a taboo.

"Of course, not only Netscape, but Double-click in particular, is completely undervalued. I think the real valuation of Double-click should increase by more than ten times. Double-click will be the first profitable Internet company, and it is undervalued. !"

  Song Yang, with an expression of "no one knows the Internet better than me", "complained" about the Wall Street analysts to a group of media, and then dragged Jenny away.

Jenny, who was dragged away by Song Yang, looked at the silent media who were scolded by Song Yang, and her eyes were filled with Song Yang's figure. She had seen so many celebrities and was embarrassed by the media interviews. How could she have seen them before? This catches the media.

The media that was scolded by Song Yang couldn't get angry. Song Yang's words just now were astonishing, and it was obvious that he made a blunder under "anger". To say that Song Yang is optimistic about Netscape, Song Yang will double-click the company. Putting it together with Netscape, it is reasonable to think that the valuation should be increased by ten times, and the valuation of one billion dollars should be reasonable. It is estimated that the dog will not be able to fool this report.

   In a top hotel in New York, Jim Clark, Mark Anderson and others who were negotiating with a group of Netscape investors, Wall Street investment banks, banks, etc. also took time to see this interview with Song Yang.

   "This kid has such a big appetite!"

   Jim couldn't help laughing at the crowd when he saw this, and the room burst into laughter.

   "If DoubleClick's valuation reaches one billion dollars, then Netscape's market value should be ten billion dollars." A Wall Street investment bank boss couldn't help but complained while watching TV.

"He's using Netscape to raise the valuation of DoubleClick!" Anderson was quite wary of people like Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan who might steal his "Silicon Valley Digital Hero" status. He saw that Song Yang Intention today.

  Song Yang is trying to play the game of borrowing chickens to make eggs, tying Netscape and Double-click together, and relying on Netscape's reputation to raise the valuation of Double-click.

  Jim waved his hand indifferently, "If the valuation of the Double-click company increases, it will be good for Netscape, which shows that the concept of Netscape has enough potential!"

Hearing this, all the bigwigs of investment banks and institutions in the room couldn't help but nod their heads. For Netscape, which has not yet been listed, Jim Clark has already started preparing for the "Netscape Concept" stock. The leader of the global Internet.

   As for Double-click, and even Yahoo and other companies, they naturally belong to the younger brother of the "Netscape family", and the younger brother's valuation is about high. Does this not mean that the big brother of Netscape has great potential? !

  Netscape's listing this time is huge. It not only invited a lot of media, but also provided extremely high treatment for the guests invited by Song Yang. They are all the best hotels in New York.

   After entering the hotel, Jenny started to get up again. Jenny was a little dissatisfied with today's performance and began to prepare for tomorrow.

   Picking clothes and jewelry for tomorrow, Jenny said to Song Yang with anticipation, "I heard that after the launch tomorrow, Netscape will hold a grand party, do we want to participate?"

   Song Yang, who was looking at several newspapers from the hotel, remembered the crazy parties in Silicon Valley and Wall Street that he had heard about in his previous life, and said to Jenny, "I don't think you would want to go to that kind of party!"

   Song Yang looked at several newspapers in his hand, Netscape can be said to be a big company, and the company that is famous on the Internet today has sent people this time.

In addition to Song Yang, who represented Double Click, the media reported today include Altavista, the leader of the search industry, Artisdirect, the world's largest online digital entertainment company, and other major Internet sites such as Lycos and Infoseek. I mentioned that I came early to cheer for Netscape.

   Even DoubleClick's rivals, L90, VCLK and other digital advertising companies, were also invited by Netscape. Song Yang felt that Jim and Anderson were a little out of place after seeing this report.

Yahoo also sent someone, but Yang Zhiyuan didn't come in person. Song Yang didn't know if there was a problem on both sides, or if the two Yahoo chiefs, Yang Zhiyuan and Ferro, were really too busy, or because Yang Zhiyuan didn't want Yahoo to be resigned to Netscape. .

This made Song Yang couldn't help but think, if Yahoo and Netscape turned their faces on both sides, where would the double tap stand? Song Yang shook his head and threw the newspaper aside. Now is not the time to think about it, but if it really turned his face Now, it must be the "winner" side, at least Microsoft is shameless enough to use any tricks to win!

   On August 16, 1995, today's New York seems to be full of agitation. On the big screen in Times Square, the LOGO of Netscape appeared, and the figure of Mark Anderson's little fat man appeared on it from time to time.

When Song Yang and Jenny came to Nasdaq, Jenny only knew that yesterday's battle was just Xiao He's sharp corners. Today, there are at least a few hundred people with long guns and short cannons gathered outside Nasdaq. Reporters, TV interview cars are one after another.

   Today's protagonist is undoubtedly Mark Anderson, who was created by Netscape. When Song Yang and Jenny entered Nasdaq, they saw a large number of reporters surrounding Anderson for interviews.

   "Song!"

  Song Yang stood there, glanced at Anderson a few times, and when a voice came, he saw Jim Clark waving to him.

   "Yesterday's interview was good!"

   Seeing Song Yang coming over, Jim embraced Song Yang like a big boss, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed. This should be one of the peaks of his life, far better than the last time SGI was kicked out.

   "This is Flaherty, founder of AltaVista, Bob Weiss, founder of Lycos..."

Jim, who claims to be the leader of the alliance, introduced a group of founders of the Internet princes to Song Yang. There are digital advertising companies such as L90 that are not pleasing to Song Yang. Double-click is now a dominant company, and other digital advertising companies such as L90 and VCLK. Even the northwest wind can't get enough to drink after the double-click company.

Of course, there are also those who express goodwill towards Song Yang. For example, Bob Weiss's courtship of Song Yang is almost beyond words. Lycos is ready to fight against Yahoo. Diarrhea should be a Yahoo.

  At this moment, Anderson, who had finished the interview, came over in high spirits. The media responsible for shooting Netscape's listing document immediately proposed to the Internet upstarts at the scene to take a photo together.

Jim Clark and Anderson were naturally very happy about this. Jim and Anderson were undoubtedly standing at position C. Bob Weiss, Flaherty and others stood around them, and Song Yang acted as a little transparent and stood at the The most corner position.

   Moments later, after the flash of the camera passed, another famous scene that became famous in the global technology industry was born.
