Chapter 201 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey
Aaron Swartz understood that Song Yang was doing an exchange with him. He developed and completed the paypal payment project for Song Yang, and Song Yang supported him to establish a Wikipedia website.
A concept project like Wikipedia has always wanted to do and never want to give up. "If the development goes well, it is expected to be tested before the end of the year and will be officially launched next year!"
"The most important thing about the paypal platform is not payment, but connection with banking institutions, as well as security and cross-border remittances."
Aaron Swartz said incisively that after years of hard work, Swartz has long been the fearless newcomer he used to back then. He knew how banks deal with competitors, and he could be said to be doing everything he could do.
Banks are unwilling to make changes easily. When Swartz was in the bank, his position was to be responsible for the maintenance of the security system for Citibank. Even if Swartz advised Citi executives that he could build a safer maintenance system for Citi, Citi would rather spend the money to support the old system that had frequent problems than develop a new security system.
Paypal can be said to be, it is aimed at the life of the bank. Once developed, the bank will definitely pour dirty water. What are the insecurity, money laundering, fraud and other dirty water, it will definitely pour hard on Paypal.
"Feet Tower Security Company is responsible for paypal security issues. After the development is completed, paypal will have its own collaborators!" Song Yang said to Swartz.
"I hope you can form a development team as soon as possible. The development office is located in the office building of IQ. Erin Doherty will provide all the support for the PayPal development team!"
When Swarts got up, Song Yang explained to him again, "I hope paypal can be kept confidential before the development is completed."
This time, it's not as good as Telecom. Telecom is forcing the futures companies on Wall Street to cooperate with Telecom. However, if the paypal project leaks the news in advance, it is probably a killer for the banking institutions!
"I see!"
Without Song Yang's explanation, Swartz also knew what he was doing. Once the banking institutions knew about this project that was preparing to dig for them, they might not be able to deal with Song Yang for a while, but the bank would never be ruthless in dealing with Swartz and other developers.
As the saying goes, if the problem cannot be solved, then solve the problem. The bank will deal with Swartz and others, such as suspending loans, canceling bank accounts, checking tax problems, and even directly using false charges, and sending them to the Federal Police Department. These tricks are absolutely used to kill the chicken and warn the monkeys, so that people in Silicon Valley will never dare to touch the paypal project again!
The payment project was established, and Song Yang kept it confidentially, but it was far beyond the past. He registered several vest projects to cover up the projects of online payment platforms.
As for those who entered the project, Song Yang also paid a high salary several times higher than Silicon Valley salary, allowing all the personnel participating in the project to sign a confidentiality agreement.
In the name of security, Gallo specially sent two teams from the Blackwater Company to come over and squatted at the door of the paypal project day and night.
After dealing with the San Jose incident, Song Yang, Marcus and Feita trio took a chartered flight to New York.
Song Yang hasn't bought a private jet yet, so he can't afford it. With Song Yang's value, there is definitely no problem to maintain a private jet.
But if you want to maintain a top-notch private jet that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, it is still a bit difficult for Song Yang to spend so much cash to build a private jet, which is a bit unworthy for Song Yang now.
After getting on the plane, Song Yang and Marcus sat behind the plane and whispered in a low voice. Song Yang asked Marcus, who was in charge of his money bag, "How are you doing?!"
Song Yang attended the Yahoo listing ceremony this time, not only expressed his support verbally, but also asked Marcus to prepare a fund from the American Global Investment Foundation to prepare for Yahoo stocks after Yahoo went public.
If you don’t spend real money and even become Yahoo’s largest individual investor, how can you deserve the slogan of supporting Yahoo!
Yahoo is listed with a market value of 500 million US dollars. Even if the stock price rises again that day, its market value will not exceed 1 billion US dollars. Even if you invest in Yahoo with a market value of 1 billion US dollars, you don’t need to wait for four or five years. Even if you sell Yahoo stocks next year, you can make at least dozens of times.
"Song, do you really have to invest so much money in Yahoo?!" Marcus asked Song Yang in a low voice. He knew how many US dollars Song Yang had transferred this time and wanted to attack Yahoo.
Song Yang is so optimistic about Yahoo, which Marcus did not expect. It would be fine if he double-clicked the company to exchange equity with Yahoo. Now Song Yang wants to push the Global Foundation of America to the Yahoo board of directors again.
The question is not how much money Song Yang wants to spend to Yahoo. What Marcus is worried about is that Song Yang plays like this, what is Yahoo’s opinion.
After hearing Marcus's words, Song Yang shook his head, "The Global Investment Foundation of America is the Investment Foundation, I am me. Although I am the major shareholder of the Global Investment Foundation of America, you, Marcus, who made the investment decision, has nothing to do with me. Even if the investors behind Yahoo have opinions, they can't blame me!"
Song Yang threw out a set of theories without blinking, and arresting Lu Xun, what should I do with me, Mr. Zhou?
Listening to this theory, Marcus was speechless and felt that it made sense. Even if Yahoo had any objections to the barbarian style and raising a sign-up investment of the Global Investment Foundation of America, it was Marcus's decision. Song Yang didn't know about it. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Song Yang believed it anyway.
After talking to Marcus for a few words, Song Yang sat down to the position of the Feita trio. Feita company is now mainly managed by Xie Qing, Deng Feng, Ke Yan and others.
When they attended the listing ceremony for the first time, Xie Qing and the other three were obviously excited and restrained, and the three of them specially changed into formal suits and ties.
Looking at Xie Qing and the others, Song Yang smiled and said, "When Feita is on the market, it's not too late for you to wear this outfit!"
When Song Yang mentioned Feita's listing, Xie Qing and others were obviously stunned. Obviously they hadn't thought about the listing yet. Xie Qing pulled his tie down a little, shook his head and said, "Feta doesn't know when it will be listed."
In the field of Ameriga's anti-virus security, there are several giant companies such as Norton and Symantec. Feita is just a latecomer. If you want to overthrow these giants, Xie Qing can only think about it himself, but he dare not say it.
Song Yang didn't see that. Looking at Xie Qing, Deng Feng and the other three said, "Feita is now the largest online antivirus software in America. When it enters the foreign market next year, if Feita goes overseas and can occupy the overseas antivirus software market, it will be the world's "largest" antivirus software company!"
This made Xie Qing and the others laugh, not talking about anything else. Just by looking at the number of users, Feita Online Antivirus Software, which is under the banner of free, has a very high download volume among Ameriga's Internet users.
Feita client has been launched for only more than half a year. Because of the hotmail mailbox and icq traffic, Feita has swept millions of users in America. It is not necessarily useful to install Feita, but if there is no Feita on the computer desktop, it seems that I feel uneasy.
Feita is also one of the Internet software that has soared the fastest user growth in the Internet industry in the past six months. Although it does not have the explosive user growth like IQ, it has far exceeded other Internet companies.
"But Feita, now compared with Norton and Symantec, the revenue difference is too much!"
Ke Yan sighed and said, "The most profitable antivirus software is definitely the enterprise user, but in this regard, Feita is far from qualified. In addition to double-clicking, IQ and several Internet companies in Silicon Valley, those big companies are still quite doubtful about Feita's technology. Before Feita proves itself, those big companies, banks and other institutions will not leave the security gate to Feita to manage.
"In the Internet industry, what you value most is not necessarily revenue. If Feita wants to go public, it may be able to go public in one or two years!"
Song Yang chuckled and shook his head. As long as Feita has enough users and traffic is large enough, even if he loses a lot, he can still log in to Nasdaq. The concept of "the world's largest Internet security company" on his head has been hyped wildly.
After hearing Song Yang's words, Xie Qing couldn't help but feel a little moved. He ran out of Stanford halfway and built the flying tower, just to catch up with the trend of the Internet.
However, after thinking for a while, Xie Qing still said, "I want to wait until Feita launches the first generation of UTM security equipment before discussing Feita's launch of the first generation of UTM security equipment!"
Of course there is no problem with hype and going public, but if you want to continue hype, you have to give something. Xie Qing doesn’t want to rely on just one gimmick. For Xie Qing, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. What he really values is UTM’s chip firewall equipment, which is the foundation of Feita, and he doesn’t want to lose his foundation.
Song Yang nodded, and did not overstep the authority and interfere in Feita. Originally, he invested in Feita, but Song Yang didn't want to hold the safety valve in the hands of others, and did not expect to make a lot of US dollars by relying on Feita.
Feita is willing to work hard on technology, so Song Yang is naturally happy to see it. If he really surpasses Norton and Symantec opponents in terms of safety technology, Feita is not making money, and Song Yang can spend money.
After the plane landed at the New York Airport, Song Yang, Marcus, Xie Qing and others left the airport and rushed towards Song Yang's North Shore Manor.
This time Yahoo is listed, unlike the last Netscape. The last Netscape has a big formation. In order to create momentum, it has brought all Internet companies over to create their own Internet leader. Therefore, there are media interviews for those present to add popularity to Netscape.
