Chapter 12 The Trumpeter
Greg held a glass of wine and pointed down to Song Yang, indicating that he still needed to entertain the people below and asked Song Yang to hurry up.
"I still need some money now!"
Seeing the frowning Greg, Song Yang hurriedly said, "Now Double Click Advertising Company has reached the most important step. I need to find partners for Double Click Advertising Company!"
"After this time, IBM, Intel, Telephone and Telegraph Company, Procter & Gamble, Volvo, Compaq Computer, and of course Lowes Insurance Company, will all become partners of Double Click Advertising Company!" Song Yang clapped his fingers and said to Greg,
Anyway, this is the time to show off your bullshit, whether Greco believes it or not.
"Telephone and Telegraph Company?!"
Greg didn't know if he drank too much or if he heard it wrong. Song Yang really dared to brag. If he said he would try his luck with a local company in Houston, Greg might actually believe it.
But when he went to cooperate with Telephone and Telegraph Group, a giant like IBM in America, which was also a behemoth in its own field, Gleick didn't believe it.
Greg took a sip of wine and couldn't help laughing, "Do you think Telephone and Telegraph Company will cooperate with Double Click Company?"
It wasn't that Greco didn't want to believe it, but he never imagined that the Double Click Advertising Company in that shabby garage could be connected with the high-end Telephone and Telegraph Company. The contrast was too great.
"There is a saying in China called borrowing the east wind. Not only Double Click Advertising Company wants to cooperate with Telephone and Telegraph Company, other companies will also want this cooperation!"
Hearing Song Yang's quotation from the East, Greg looked at Song Yang with suspicion, making Song Yang feel a little uncomfortable.
Greg didn't know whether Song Yang learned this by himself or whether Song Yang and his father taught him in a dream. Although Greg felt it was unlikely, Eastern witchcraft was still very deceptive.
Greco thought for a while and finally sighed, "Are you sure you want the last money?"
The last sum of money was not only the money left by Song Yang's parents, but also part of it was prepared by Greco for Song Yang to go to college, even if it was to go to community college, it would be better to be a strong player like KFC.
Song Yang nodded seriously. For Song Yang, now was the final kick. Although he didn't know what was behind the door, Song Yang was really unwilling to kick the door open.
Seeing that Song Yang had made up his mind, Greg took out the money, looked at Song Yang for a few times, pushed the envelope in front of Song Yang, then turned and went downstairs.
Song Yang made a phone call at Grek's house, and after eating something to fill his stomach, a car parked at the door after going out.
"Are you going to San Francisco now?" Gallo was hanging out with Hailey in the small apartment. After receiving a call from Song Yang, Song Yang unexpectedly had to rush to San Francisco in the middle of the night.
Song Yang asked Gallo to drive to the airport, "Drive, I need to reach San Francisco before tomorrow morning!"
This decision was beyond Gallo's expectation. He did not expect Song Yang to run to San Francisco. "Why go to San Francisco? I feel that New York or Los Angeles are better. If you go to these two places, I will be very happy to help..."
"You want to go to nightclubs in these two places!" Song Yang mercilessly exposed Gallo's little thoughts. The only two places that Gallo can miss are nightclubs and crazy parties.
Gallo, who was exposed by Song Yang, did not blush at all and whistled, "Song, I remember going to these two places to attend parties, but you said so!"
Song Yang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but rub his cheeks. He didn't know what the original guy had said to Gallo.
After arriving at the airport, Song Yang did not let Gallo continue to follow, "You help me keep an eye on Jayden and let him complete the development as soon as possible!"
After buying a United Airlines ticket, Song Yang got on the plane directly. As for the first-class treatment, don't think about it. As for the flight attendants, people who are used to domestic airlines will probably think of foreign flight attendants when they see them.
Another feeling.
After nearly four hours of jolting, Song Yang finally returned to the ground again, and randomly found a motel. Song Yang took a short rest, changed into a formal suit he got from Gallo, and got a crooked shot.
After putting on a tie to make myself look more mature, I rushed to San Francisco's Third Avenue.
Kayla, who was interning at "Wired" magazine, came to the office of "Wired" magazine in advance. If she wanted to join this magazine, which has become more and more influential in recent years, she naturally needed to perform well.
When Kayla arrived at Wired magazine, she saw a tall figure already standing there.
The visitor was standing casually by the glass door, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. He seemed to have noticed Keira's arrival, and he also turned his attention to Keira.
When she saw that face, Keira couldn't help but look at it a few more times. When she saw Song Yang, Keira couldn't help but think of the video "The Last Emperor" that she watched with her family a few years ago.
Compared to the starring actors in that video and those Hollywood actors, Song Yang is probably not inferior.
"Who are you?" Keira asked Song Yang.
Song Yang showed a warm smile and stretched out his hand to Kayla, "Bruno Song, I want to visit editor-in-chief Kevin Kelly!"
Kayla opened the magazine door and asked Song Yang, "Do you have an appointment?"
Song Yang couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed when he heard that he still needed to make an appointment. He didn't have much time to spend here. "I think editor-in-chief Kevin will definitely be willing to talk to me. This is very important to us!"
Keira looked back at Song Yang. Ever since Wired magazine became more influential, more and more people came to Kevin Kelly and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to become famous. However, looking at Song Yang, Keira still couldn't bear to
Song Yang drove away, "I will report to Editor-in-Chief Kevin, but I'm not sure if he can spare time to see you!"
"I still want to thank you Kayla, I will never forget what happened today!" Song Yang said, holding Kayla's hand.
Kayla's face turned slightly red, she took her hand out, then turned around and left in a hurry, leaving Song Yang alone in the reception room.
Song Yang also let out a sigh of relief. The action just now was completely the instinctive reaction of the original bastard. It had nothing to do with Song Yang, who had always been a gentleman. But it was just like in the "Cat and Mouse Game" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, sometimes relying on
Appearance does seem to have some effect, Song Yang pinched his face and said.
As an assistant, Kayla is responsible for assisting Kevin Kelly in his work, including arranging daily activities. Kayla is quite trusted by Kevin Kelly.
After taking a look, she saw that it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, which was Kevin Kelly's daily coffee time. Kayla decided to say something for Song Yang, who had been in the reception room for more than an hour.
"Mr. Kevin, there is a man who claims to be the founder of Double Click Advertising Company and wants to meet you."
"Do you have a reservation code?" Kevin, who was busy processing news and articles to be published in the next issue of the magazine, said without raising his head.
"No, but he seems to be in a hurry..."
Kevin raised his head curiously and glanced at Kayla, who was slightly flustered. He couldn't remember that this little assistant said so many things about any visitor.
"Then invite him in, and prepare a cup of coffee for me, without sugar, I need to refresh myself!" Kevin Kelly said to Kayla.
When Song Yang came in, the scene he saw was a standard Western face, accompanied by a Caucasian bearded man, energetically drinking coffee and reading documents.
After gently nodding to Keira to express his gratitude, Song Yang sat across from Kevin.
"Please sit down!" Kevin extended his hand to Song Yang without raising his head, and then raised his head inadvertently, "Then, can you tell me why you meet me..."
When he saw Song Yang for the first time, Kevin Kelly immediately understood why Kayla spoke for Song Yang. If he hadn't confirmed that this was San Francisco, he would have suspected that Song Yang was in the wrong place.
Looking at Song Yang, who was much younger than he imagined, Kevin couldn't help but feel a little interested and picked up Song Yang's humble business card.
"Editor-in-Chief Kevin, I have always admired you and wanted to meet you,
"Out of Control" is the most valuable Internet book I have ever read!" Song Yang said it without blinking as soon as he sat down.
This obviously touched on something that bothered Kevin, "Have you seen "Out of Control"?"
To be honest, "Out of Control", which was regarded as a sacred book in the Eastern Internet industry in later generations, had little influence in America, and its sales volume was only a few thousand copies.
Even Kevin Kelly, the "out of control" author himself, relies on his identity as the editor-in-chief of "Wired" magazine in the American technology circle, and his influence is far less than that of being called a "prophet" and "godfather of the Internet" in the East.
Wait for a series of titles.
However, because of Wired magazine, he has a really good relationship with figures in the technology industry such as Apple's Steve Jobs and Netscape's Marc Andreessen. This is what Song Yang needs to take advantage of.
Wired Magazine is more like a trumpet player, waving the flag and charging into battle on behalf of the Internet and the technology industry, building momentum for people in the technology industry, and in turn, those in the technology industry also increase the influence of Wired Magazine.
Song Yang nodded without hesitation. He had indeed read this book. Although this book has been over-interpreted in the Eastern Internet industry, it does contain many concepts. Song Yang also read it in his previous life.
"Decentralization, sharing, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, etc. will all be the mainstream of the Internet in the future, and the future world also belongs to the Internet!"
Song Yang talked with Kevin that this was one of the concepts of Kevin's book, and the two of them had a good conversation.
Although there are inevitably different views in some places, they are quite to Kevin's liking, and Song Yang agrees with many of Kevin's views, which makes Kevin feel like a confidant.
Now there is Kevin Kelly, whose main identity is the editor-in-chief of "Wired" magazine, and he is so sought after in the East that he is treated as a guest. In America, he is somewhat well-known, but Silicon Valley technology, New York institutions and the Internet
forum, he is far from being regarded as an idol or a guest. It is rare to meet someone who agrees with his ideas, so naturally the conversation is quite heated.
