Chapter 108 Hole Cards
“The internet gets its first female executive!”
“Double Click is coming soon!”
"Double Click is ushering in a big change, Meg Whitman becomes the new head of Double Click!"
After the news of Whitman's signing with Double Click was announced, it quickly attracted many media reports in the Internet industry.
Double Click itself can be regarded as one of the most famous Internet companies in America. Now it has a female president. Coupled with the rumors of going public, it has naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
When Song Yang returned to San Jose, Double Click was officially reorganized, and Whitman and Lane became Double Click's co-CEOs.
Double Click's board of directors has also ushered in changes. Song Yang, Gleick, representatives of WPP Group, and Yahoo representatives, plus newly nominated Whitman, Ryan, and Erin, have formed Double Click's new board of directors.
WPP Group, which has been clamoring for Song Yang to change the board of directors of Double Click, suddenly found out after the reorganization that this was not as good as before. Before, there were only a few people on the board of directors of Double Click, with WPP Group as the second largest shareholder and Yahoo as the third largest shareholder.
On important matters, uniting can still oppose Song Yang's decision.
But after the reorganization, there were four more people on Double Click's board of directors, basically all of whom were from Song Yang. Why the hell do we still need to vote?
But no matter what you think, Double Click's board of directors has been reorganized, and everyone understands that Double Click will start sprinting to go public next!
Whitman is indeed an old-school professional manager. After taking over Double Click, he immediately began to deal with Double Click's large and small affairs and began to restructure Double Click's management system.
Whitman really didn't understand Internet technology, but she was willing to ask questions and began to learn about Internet technology. This allowed Double Click's technical department to quickly accept the new leader.
In addition to technology, Whitman also re-communicated with sales, customers, after-sales, overseas partners, etc., and announced that he would complete a meeting with all customers before Christmas!
At the first all-hands meeting at Double Click, Whitman issued a military order to complete the listing next year and increase performance by 300%. Whether this was bragging or not, Whitman did in her own way,
Quickly established prestige in Double Click Company!
On the plane flying to San Jose, Irene, who was sitting next to Song Yang, was studying a document. This was Whitman's new strategy for double-clicking in the past few days and another change.
The changes in Double Click are almost visible to the naked eye. Eileen, who has always thought highly of herself, has to admit that compared with an old man like Whitman who has been famous for a long time, she is more than a little bit more mature, both in terms of experience and means.
superior.
The most direct problem is the client, that is, those advertising sponsors. Irene never thought of getting on a plane and traveling across several states to meet them, but Whitman made all reservations and took the trouble to fly all over America.
past.
Even for those big funders who were unwilling to cooperate, Whitman personally called them and sent them emails to inquire about the reasons for their unwillingness to cooperate with Double Click. This kind of putting down one's dignity and breaking the casserole was just to find out why they were unwilling to cooperate.
Cooperate with Double Click, or if you don’t do well enough, prepare yourself for next time.
Putting down the documents, Irene took off her glasses, rubbed her sore eyes, and said to Song Yang aside, "I have a hunch that Double Click's revenue will probably explode next quarter!"
Irene didn't want to admit it, but in fact it was the case. Whitman's methods may not be so superb, but he was unwilling to make any mistakes in the details.
Song Yang looked at Irene's expression and couldn't help but smile, "I believe you will definitely become the best professional manager in America in the future!"
Investors such as Netscape, Yahoo and other Internet companies will find an experienced professional manager to take charge of the young founder after investing. On the one hand, the venture capital company really wants to increase its control over the company.
right.
On the other hand, there is also a need for professional managers who can steer the direction of the ship and not be blown away. Of course, there are more chickens in the world, and Whitman is still in the minority after all!
Song Yang chatted with Irene for a few words, and just when he was about to get closer to say a few private words, there was the sound of Greg coughing over there, and Irene couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The plane landed in San Jose. This time not only Song Yanglai, but Irene, Greco, and Gallo also arrived and will work here in the future.
Even Big Cream Cake, if he hadn't already enrolled in Houston, might have followed him.
Even so, I don’t know if it was because of the onset of the sixth sense. During those few days in Houston, Jenny didn’t give Song Yang a chance to be alone with Irene. On the last day, she even dragged Song Yang to the small apartment and didn’t let go. If it wasn’t
With this body that has been exercised all year round, Song Yang felt that he might be a little bit unable to pull the ground. Of course, Jenny was not much better. She didn't even have the strength to send Song Yang to the airport, and she was still recuperating.
Back in San Jose, it seems that the rhythm has returned to the past. Whitman will take over the double-click matter, and Song Yang does not need to worry too much.
Song Yang's thoughts were mainly on icq, hotmail, and American Telecom.
The impact of email voting was slightly beyond Song Yang's expectations. Almost immediately after Texas, Kansas and other states announced the purchase of hotmail mailboxes to support voters in the state in voting.
Netscape, Yahoo, AOL, Lycos and many other well-known websites in America, no longer concealed themselves, and all announced the launch of mailboxes.
Seeing this report, Song Yang curled his lips and threw the newspaper aside. In the past, these companies were all hypocritical with Song Yang and threatened that they would not compete with Song Yang. Now they don't even act.
I brought it with me.
If there weren't people from the Donkey Party behind this, trying to weaken Hotmail's influence in the mailbox industry, then it would be hell.
However, it will take some time for these Internet companies to launch mailboxes and catch up with the performance of hotmail.
But it won't be too long. When these email brands are online, the email war will begin. By then, any means will be used, and Song Yang will have to consider speeding up the search for a successor for Hotmail.
"Song, Prince is here!"
Song Yang is located on a golf course in San Jose. Thousands of companies have gathered in San Jose, bringing various leisure and entertainment facilities to San Jose.
Song Yang looked up and saw a man with a hooked nose and a stern face walking over. Prince was not tall, and he had a strong military smell. Prince's figure was similar to that of Gallo.
Almost the same, even a little shorter, but for some reason, Song Yang could tell at a glance that Gallo was no match for Prince.
Song Yang and Prince are both sizing up each other. Prince doesn't have the charisma of a mercenary king yet. The war madman who criticized a group of congressional masters during the congressional investigation and claimed that he was not under the control of Congress is still seen today.
No trace.
Prince was also sizing up Song Yang. If he hadn't known in advance that Song Yang was the largest investor in Blackwater, Prince would have thought that Blackwater could not be associated with this upstart Internet player. It was too much.
What a difference!
"Prince, I'm glad you can come!" Song Yang stretched out his hand to Prince and said.
"I have to come!" Prince also extended his hand to Song Yang and shook it hard.
Song Yang made a gesture of invitation to Prince, and the two went to the golf course together. Given Prince's family background, golf is basically a social sport, and he played more leisurely than Song Yang.
But Prince came here specifically today not to compete with Song Yang on his golf skills. "Song, I'm surprised that you invested in Blackwater. I think if this news spreads, America's technology industry will not be affected."
Will believe it!"
"But America needs a black water, doesn't it?" After Song Yang hit another shot, he turned to Prince and said.
"Of course." Prince raised his eyebrows. He thought Song Yang would tell him a lot of truth, but he didn't expect Song Yang to be so straightforward.
Facing Prince, Song Yang didn't make any nonsense. Facing a person with such a military background, it was useless to talk about it. Coupled with Prince's background, he probably knew the truth here better than Song Yang.
It is clear that Song Yang is not interested in playing tricks in front of Prince. He came to Prince today just to make a three-part agreement with him!
"A project I invested in requires the help of Blackwater. This is the original intention of establishing Blackwater."
"Is this project very important?" Prince asked. He knew that Blackwater had recruited a group of people and was working on something, but he didn't know the specific situation. Of course, Prince didn't like those people either.
Considered to be a mob.
Song Yang nodded solemnly, "Very important!"
"Of course, in addition to this project, I also found that America needs to use Blackwater security. Whether in America or overseas, the security market is growing rapidly. Blackwater may be able to make some contributions to America.
!”
Now when Song Yang said these words, his face did not change. Prince's mouth twitched when he heard it. It was obviously just to make money. Song Yang also said it was really just and awe-inspiring. Blackwater was for America.
Contributed
After playing a few balls, Song Yang stopped, signaled the caddy to leave first, then turned to look at Prince, "Prince, I know what you want to do, whether you want to form mercenaries, go
I will not stop you from participating in overseas conflicts or other employment activities, and I can even provide financial support, but I want to prevent Blackwater from getting into trouble in name only, you should understand!"
Blackwater needs people like Prince to develop. Otherwise, with Gallo alone, Blackwater will probably be a small, fifth-rate security company in another ten years.
The development of Black Water will also be beneficial to Song Yang. Skin color is always an unavoidable topic in America. Song Yang does not want to become a fat sheep in the eyes of some people in America. At a certain point, he will be used in various light and shade ways.
The methods are targeted, and even suicide occurs.
If Blackwater can become the largest security and employment group in America, at least Song Yang will have a counterattack card in his hand. Those who want to use methods outside the rules against Song Yang should also consider whether they will be used by Song Yang.
