Back To 1995

   Chapter 84

Marcus looked up at Song Yang in front of him. He had already raised Song Yang's level to the highest level. No, looking at Song Yang's age, Marcus felt that this might be the future of his cooperation over the years. The most valuable person, maybe not one of them!

Marcus doesn't know how much trouble these financial documents will cause if they get out, especially the project of America Telecom. Marcus has never heard any news at all, but this is a huge amount of up to 300 million US dollars. The project is really amazing.

   "Song," Marcus put down the financial documents, "To be honest, these are beyond my expectations. It will take a while to sort out these financial affairs. Maybe you should come to me earlier to avoid a lot of trouble!"

Marcus said to Song Yang, he felt that Song Yang was a little expensive, and it was not worth it. Not to mention sports cars and villas, just say Double Click Company, America Telecom, etc. If Marcus did it, it would not only be able to avoid taxes , and can also get some financial subsidies from Texas and other places through operations.

   "So, I'm here to find you Marcus today!"

Song Yang said to Marcus, "I hope you can help me deal with these financial problems, not only these, but in the future, the financial problems of DoubleClick, America Telecom, Hotmail, ICQ and other companies may also need you to be a consultant! "

Marcus's calm heart couldn't help but start shaking at this time. As a private financial advisor, he can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year at most. But being a company's financial advisor is different. The pay is higher.

Like the financial advisor of America Telecom, if America Telecom can sell it to Wall Street after the completion of the Chicago to New York line next year, it will be a multi-billion dollar financial management. If Marcus handles it, the salary will be at least Start with a million dollars!

   "Song, I will handle these finances!" Marcus Bird showed his attitude and was willing to take over as Song Yang's private accounting and financial advisor.

   Hearing that Marcus was willing to take over, Song Yang and Marcus negotiated his contract. Marcus did not ask for a huge price. On the contrary, the asking price was a little "low".

Marcus requested that the annual financial advisory fee, that is, the cost of helping Song Yang declare taxes, deal with financial problems, and avoid tax, is only $240,000. Now it seems that the price is not low, but compared with other big accountants , and Song Yang's possible worth in the future, this is really not too high.

   But Marcus also has other requirements, that is, to deal with Song Yang's investment and other issues, he needs extra fees, such as projects like America Telecom, or acquisitions, investments, etc., he needs extra fees.

  Song Yang thought for a moment, then reached out to Marcus, agreeing to his request.

   Not to mention anything else, Hotmail mailbox Song Yang is looking for the gold owner to take over this year, and when it involves a large amount of funds, Marcus needs to deal with it.

In addition, next year's America Telecom, dealing with Wall Street, also needs Marcus to come forward. Even if there is a professional accounting firm, it needs to have someone to watch it. Otherwise, if you run into a swindle like Arthur Andersen , it's too late to cry...

Marcus became Song Yang's private accountant. If nothing else, Song Yang's finances will pass through Marcus' hands for many years to come. In a sense, he may know Song better than the Bruno family. How much is Yang worth!

   "You also manage the finances of the San Francisco Giants baseball team?" Song Yang asked Marcus when he signed the agreement.

If someone else came to ask about Marcus' other employer, it would be a bit taboo, but in the future, he will be tied to Song Yang, and even at a special moment, he will take some blame for Song Yang. So Marcus just chuckled when he heard this.

Marcus, who has done his homework, knows what Song Yang advertised. The inspirational story of a talented baseball player who unexpectedly fell and entered the Internet industry to get back up again. Marcus doesn't know if this thing is true or not, but Song Yang was born in a baseball team. it is true.

   When Song Yang asked about the San Francisco Giants baseball team, Marcus didn't feel any surprise, "If, Song, you want to become a minority shareholder of the Giants, I can help run it!"

  Many wealthy people in America who like sports will invest in some teams. As a small boss, they often go to the stadium to watch games and get in close contact with team stars. The team also likes to use those celebrities to increase their popularity.

As for the more expensive ones, like Microsoft's Paul Allen, he bought the NBA Trail Blazers and the football team Seahawks to act as big toys. Marcus also thought that Song Yang was trying to mess with A Giants got a minority shareholder or something.

  "NO", Song Yang looked at Marcus and said, saying what he said to Gallo, "If I want to enter the baseball club, I want to buy the New York Yankees!"

  Marcus smiled and shook his head, "Song, if San Francisco fans hear this, I'm afraid they won't be so happy!"

Regarding Song Yang's purchase of the New York Yankees, Marcus also thought that Song Yang was joking, and didn't care too much, not to mention whether Yankees owner George Steinbrenner would sell it or not, just talking about Song Yang at the moment Yang's entire worth is cashed out, and it is estimated that he will not be able to eat the Yankees.

  Song Yang just laughed and didn't explain too much, but if there is a chance, Song Yang will definitely give it a try and win the title of the proudest team in the Big Apple!

   "Marcus, I need you to deal with these financial issues as soon as possible, and then report to the federal tax side, I don't want to be targeted by the IRS!"

  Song Yang didn't want to be provoked by the mad dogs of the IRS. A little loophole could be made a fuss by those people.

   "In addition, next, I need you to deal with some financial issues. You need to keep an eye on the finances of America Telecom. There may also be some investment in Hotmail this year, or equity changes such as acquisitions!"

   Hearing this, Marcus's eyes narrowed, Song Yang was revealing some news to him, so that Marcus could prepare early.

   Even if you are not an Internet professional, in the past few days, the news of Hotmail mailboxes in San Francisco and Silicon Valley is overwhelming.

Through these reports, Marcus can also think about the potential of Hotmail mailboxes, but now he hears that Song Yang has a faint idea of ​​selling Hotmail mailboxes. If this comes true, Marcus can predict that this will be a shocking transaction. .

   But after being slightly surprised, Marcus quickly regained his composure, "Don't worry Song, I won't have any problems here!"

Marcus is indeed dedicated to his work. After signing the agreement with Song Yang, he immediately began to deal with the financial affairs, and tried to avoid taxes as much as possible for Song Yang through various means. The role of the Bruno Foundation in Marcus' hands can hardly be ignored. Play with flowers.

   After coming out of ICQ's San Jose office building, Song Yang didn't rush to San Jose University to report, but drove to Fortinet.

  ICQ's office building is not far from Fortinet. It was just over half an hour's drive before Song Yang arrived at the office of Fortinet.

   After entering Fortinet, I immediately felt different from other places, because almost all of the Asian faces and the voices in the office were all in Chinese. This is almost the first all-Chinese company in Silicon Valley!

  Fortinet's office is not large, it is divided into two parts, a software development office and a hardware department. Fortinet is to do the unprecedented combination of software, hardware and the Internet in the network security industry. Naturally, it is necessary to develop hardware products.

   Seeing Song Yang coming in, a young man in his twenties with glasses, looking at Song Yang, he felt a little familiar, and asked Song Yang suspiciously, "May I ask who you are?"

  Song Yang said in Chinese, "I'm looking for Xie Qing!"

As soon as he heard Song Yang's accent, the office suddenly became noisy again. Sitting in the office, a tall and dark-skinned man shouted to the small office inside with Chuan Yin, "Old Xie, someone is looking for it. !"

   "This way, please." The young man smiled apologetically at Song Yang and walked towards Xie Qing's office with Song Yang.

   looked at Song Yang a few times, and when he was about to enter Xie Qing's office, the young man said in annoyance, "I think you seem familiar, as if you've seen it somewhere."

   "Song Yang," Song Yang smiled kindly at the young man, "Perhaps you have seen another name reported in the media, Bruno Song!"

   After finishing speaking, Song Yang nodded to him, and then entered Xie Qing's office, leaving only the stunned young man. The whole office was also silent. The person who called Xie Qing just now was also looking like a wooden chicken.

The founder of Double Click Company, the genius of the Internet, and now the founder of Hotmail, the founder of the Internet virus marketing concept, and of course, the biggest investor of Fortinet has now appeared in them before!

  Song Yang's influence in America is not to mention the influence of Chinese Americans, but he definitely has unparalleled influence among the yellow-skinned people working in Silicon Valley and the Internet.

Maybe other people in Silicon Valley want to be the next Bill Gates, or the next Mark Anderson or something, but for the yellow-skinned people working here, they definitely want to be the second Song Yang, not the other people.

  Xie Qing, who was busy in the office, was stunned when he saw Song Yang who came in, and then stood up in a hurry, "Boss Song, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came."

   Looking at the messy office, Xie Qing looked embarrassed, "I made you laugh!"

Song Yang waved his hand, found a chair from the pile of documents, and sat down casually, "It's all like this, you have to go to the office before Yahoo, and of course the small office of DoubleClick when the company was first established. After looking at the garage, you know that everyone is actually the same!"
