Back To 1995

   raised his head and looked at the unshaven Kalanick in front of him. Scour's failure and bankruptcy, and the Saipan Music Store, did have something to do with it, but it wasn't that important.

   To put it mildly, it has touched Hollywood's inverse scale, and when it comes to the issue of employment, Hollywood will definitely dismantle Scour, there is no discussion about this.

  The difference is that after Scour falls, who will take advantage of it. It may have been Apple's iTunes, and now it will be replaced by the Saipan Music Store, but the ending... There is not much difference.

However, facing Kalanick, Song Yang did not ridicule him, but said, "Genius is lonely, Scour is indeed a genius idea, and the model of paid advertising plus membership fee may indeed become a new trend in the future record industry. …

but not now! "

After more than ten years, when the Internet has entered the era of all people, and advertising has become a stable income for major Internet giants, Kalanick's idea may come true, but now, think about the current Internet industry in America, one year. The advertising fees and revenue of the entire industry are less than 10 billion US dollars, so the Internet companies can't survive, and the money is distributed to the third-party companies in Hollywood.

Now it is a game of looting. The Internet industry plunders resources from other industries to support itself. The most blood-sucking industries are the media, TV stations, newspapers, magazines and other industries. died.

  Kalanick was very calm, without complaining, "If you fail, you fail. History is written by the victors!"

   That's what he said, but Kalanick couldn't hide his disappointment and despair in his expression. Scour seemed to be only one step away from the giant.

   And in the days that Scour went down, a whole bunch of music sites and new MP3 player brands popped up!

  The Saipan Music Store now sells MP3s and ringtones, and now it’s not about making money every day, but the performance forecast made by the Wall Street agency for the Saipan Music Store is that the annual revenue of next year is 4 billion dollars!

   Saipan Music Store will steal a large part of the traditional record revenue. By next year, Saipan Music Store plus Yahoo Music and other brands will probably be able to steal about 15% of the market share of the record market!

There are many more companies entering the MP3 player industry. In addition to a number of old electronic technology giants, Apple has also announced its entry. Gang Master Qiao couldn’t help it, and even acted as a white knight to save Apple. , Song Yang, who is still a member of Apple's board of directors, announced that Apple will launch a digital music platform and MP3 player.

   As for the stick, there are a lot of electronics companies that announced the launch of a new MP3 brand. The price is estimated to be a lot cheaper than the $99 price of the Dimeng MP3!

  The era of digital music is coming in full swing, but Kalanick regretted being out before that day. I'm afraid it's too early, not a coincidence.

Song Yang looked at Kalanick's expression and knew that with his nerves, he would definitely not be knocked down this time. As "the most unfortunate Internet practitioner in history", he could be called an unbeatable little powerhouse, and it wasn't just one or two times that he was dealt with. The second time, if someone else jumped off the Empire State Building every time, Kalanick could still carry it.

   "North American Trust and Investment Fund, will provide you with a credit as an investment fund for your next project!"

  Song Yang didn't want to let Kalanick carry the debt all the time, and was chased and beaten by the creditors, saying that he was providing him with an investment fund, but in fact he asked him to repay the debt first.

Of course, this money is not borrowed for nothing. Kalanick will have a new project in the future. This money will be automatically converted into equity in the new project. If he loses, he will definitely not lose money. In the future, he will play new projects. A part of the equity belongs to Song Yang!

  Song Yang stood up and pressed the button. The windows in the suite began to open automatically, and a stream of air rushed in, which improved Song Yang's spirit.

   "Now there are voices, the Internet has been terminated, and every industry you can think of has been occupied!

   But I want to say that the big curtain of the Internet has just been opened, the PC Internet has not yet reached its limit, and the mobile Internet has just begun. In the future, everyone's clothing, food, housing and transportation will be changed by the Internet! "

   Song Yang has pointed it out, and did not go on. Whether he can become the "seed" king of the Internet and become the "king of travel" depends on whether Kalanick can figure it out.

Kalanick looked at Song Yang. He felt that Song Yang seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't figure out what Song Yang was going to tell him. Kalanick would never think that a character like Song Yang would be a good thing today. On such an important day, I made time to see him just to mention a bunch of nonsense.

   "Brother, how are you?"

   was bored and chewing gum. By the way, he talked to the club's waitress, Evan Spiegel, who was talking a few words. When he saw Kalanick coming out of the suite, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Kalanick, who frowned tightly, thinking about what Song Yang said to him, heard Evan Spiegel's words, "Song Rang North American Trust and Investment Fund, provided me with a sum of money, those Debt, can be paid off in full!"

  Evan Spiegel whistled, "I said bro, it's absolutely fine. When you have a new project, I'll definitely be the first to invest."

Evan Spiegel, who has joined ICQ for several years, is already worth over 10 million yuan. When he was hunting for short-selling institutions, Evan Spiegel bought a lot of double-clicks in order to show his loyalty to Song Yang. The company's stock, as a result, gave Evan Spiegel millions of dollars in cash flow that time.

   Now, Evan Spiegel has also received the ICQ equity award, which is definitely not cheap.

  I just heard that Evan Spiegel was going to invest in his new project in the future. Kalanick thought for a while, but he still didn't dare to take Spiegel's money. It was too hot!

   went back to the room, turned on the mobile phone, and immediately there were a bunch of text messages, and the mobile phone emails were also full of documents, and there were even text messages of threats and warnings.

Looking at those text messages, Kalanick called his lawyer. It is also important to pay back the money. A lawyer must come forward. If Kalanick came forward, I am afraid that it is impossible to say that Ovitz's gang invested. People, he should pay back even the principal and interest, and even sell Kalanick again, it is estimated that it will not be finished!

Nasdaq has not yet reached the point of complete fanaticism, but the stock prices of many Internet giant companies are already not cheap. ICQ's stock price has also maintained at about two hundred dollars, and it has sprinted at the highest before. Three hundred dollars, but after a taste of it, the stock price quickly fell.

Today, when the Nasdaq is nearing the close, the major investment banks on Wall Street, as well as investment companies and investors around the world, are also preparing to settle today's investment income. At this time, the original stock price was around $230. The ICQ stock price suddenly began to move.

   It was like an explosion on the spot. I only saw ICQ's stock price, and a straight line formed on the screen in an instant, and the stock price began to be pulled straight up.

Any stock price pressure level and new high-level stock market vocabulary in the early stage, when placed on ICQ, seem to have suddenly failed, only to see ICQ's stock price continue to rise, large sums of money, like no money, crazy Buying ICQ's stock, within a few minutes, the turnover has exceeded 500 million US dollars. The buyer has a feeling that he can't wait to eat all the outstanding ICQ shares!

   A number of institutions on Wall Street were also a little surprised when faced with this situation. They didn’t know what was going on. If they were the big A’s, they would have rushed in at this time, knowing that this was going to be a game!

  When the Nasdaq closed, news suddenly came out from Wall Street that ICQ held a board meeting in San Jose. Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, General Electric, Telephone and Telegraph Group, Comcast Group, etc. were all invited to participate in the meeting.

   Then, ICQ got an announcement, which completely shook the entire Wall Street and the Internet industry. ICQ suddenly announced that there will be major changes, involving equity, revenue, etc.!

   When people from all walks of life had not yet reacted, General Electric and Comcast Group also issued similar announcements one after another, and the entire public opinion was completely fried.
