Chapter 254 Seeing the needle

In San Jose, just like when Yahoo, Netscape, Fortinet and other companies started, eBay's office space at the moment has more than a dozen people crowded into a small office.

At this moment, in the small office where Pierre Omidyar was, a man was standing. He asked Omidyar in surprise, "Omidyar, are you saying that you don't need our venture capital?"

Omidyar looked at Cagel in front of him and rubbed his palms. For an engineer, it was still a little weak to do this kind of negotiation.

Cagle is one of the partners of a San Francisco company called Benchmark Venture Capital. When eBay was first established, he approached Omidyar and was very interested in eBay, and the two parties have been in contact.

But now, when Cagle and Benchmark Ventures decided to propose $5 million in venture capital from eBay, Omidyar rejected it, which made Cagle very puzzled.

"Cagel, I'm sorry, but the situation has indeed changed. eBay may not be able to accept the investment from Benchmark Venture Capital!" Facing Cagel, Omidyar refused awkwardly.

Hearing this, Cagel looked at Omidyar in front of him, "So, can you tell me what happened?"

Cagle and Benchmark Ventures are not a big venture capital firm. They have just been established in the past two years with not much capital. They specialize in investing in emerging Internet companies. eBay is Benchmark Ventures and has focused on many companies. As a result, when it was time to invest,

, was actually cut off by someone.

Although Cagle was dissatisfied with losing eBay's venture capital, he also wanted to know who was competing with the benchmark venture capital. Even if he died, Cagle would die in peace.

Seeing that Cagle was still unwilling to give up, Omidyar, who got along well with Cagle, had no choice but to say, "It's Bruno Song's Americas Global Investment Fund!"

When he heard that it was Song Yang who had intercepted Hu, Cagel's original desire to fight for it disappeared in an instant. Benchmark Venture Capital's total funds were only so much. Benchmark Venture Capital wanted to invest millions of dollars in eBay, but Song

When Yang comes up, it's probably tens of millions of dollars, and the two sides are not on the same level at all.

If it were Kagel himself, I'm afraid he would make the same choice as Omidyar. It doesn't matter what the relationship is. No matter how good the relationship is, it will turn against him if it encounters so many beautiful swords. This is human nature.

A beautiful sword tests human nature, and only those who are short-sighted can play this trick.

"Oh..."

Cagle stroked his forehead and gave a wry smile. This feeling of being cut off was really uncomfortable. Benchmark Venture Capital had been evaluating eBay for a long time, and it ended up being lost like this.

Then Cagle suddenly reacted, "So Bruno Song is going to enter Internet e-commerce?"

If the possible loss of eBay made Benchmark Venture Capital a little helpless, the sudden thought that Song Yang was going to enter the e-commerce industry made Cagel excited.

Who is Song Yang? Although he is not the earliest Internet veteran, he has led the Internet wave many times and is now one of the most popular figures in the Internet industry!

Now that Song Yang suddenly invested in eBay, doesn't this just mean that Song Yang is optimistic about the e-commerce industry?

If you can't invest in eBay, you can't invest in other e-commerce platforms. Blind cats can always encounter dead mice. As long as the e-commerce industry becomes popular, then this will definitely be a huge outlet.

"I don't know this, Mr. Cagle. eBay is only in contact with the American Investment Fund!" Pierre Omidyar was very cautious and did not give Cagle a wrong judgment. Is Song Yang

Focusing on the e-commerce industry is not something Omidyar can decide.

As far as the current structure of the Internet industry is concerned, whether it is listed on Nasdaq or not is the standard for measuring an Internet company. Whether it is eBay, Amazon or imdb, etc., now faced with Double Click, Netscape, Yahoo, etc., they only have

He’s just a younger brother!

Cagle left Olimedia in a hurry, called someone from Benchmark Ventures, and asked Benchmark Ventures to start searching for an e-commerce company in America.

Cagle is also preparing to let benchmark venture capital capital take advantage of this wave of enthusiasm. Cagle may not believe in himself, but he believes in Song Yang. Since his debut, Song Yang’s net worth has soared so fast and he has never failed once, which is enough for Cagle.

Believed.

Song Yang's villa in San Jose is much smaller than the Manor on the North Shore of Long Island in New York. But in San Jose, Song Yang is not planning to buy another villa. Instead, he has already circled the land and is preparing to be like Bill Gates.

Like others, build a manor.

Not only San Jose, but also Houston and other places. Since last year, Song Yang has asked Greco, Marcus and others to continuously enclose land and farms. The prices of these enclosed lands have now soared.

It is enough to show that Song Yang is not the only one who is enclosure. In the past two years, the technology industry has been booming. People in the Internet and technology industries are quietly cashing out. And the hot money cashed out from technology stocks will definitely not be invested in the technology industry. Then

Land and housing are naturally the first choices.

The upstarts in science and technology are replacing the old white money and are crazy about land in America. Land is actually the same all over the world. When you have money, you want to hoard a few pieces. It is something that can really be passed on to the next generation. Among them, Bill...

Gates worked the hardest, and even companies such as Netscape, Yahoo, and AOL all circled a lot of land in the name of building headquarters.

In the villa, in preparation for the filming of "The Matrix" to start in a few months, Jenny and Hailey are undergoing performance training with an actor trainer hired by Hollywood with a lot of money. This trainer is not cheap and has trained many Hollywood movie stars.

, Cameron Diaz, Claudia Schiffer and other Hollywood women have received training done by Shearer.

The female trainer, who is already in her forties, does not have many roles on the Hollywood screen, but she can help movie stars and vividly interpret the roles in movies and TV series.

"Jenny, focus, release your emotions, you have to show anger through your expressions in front of the camera..."

However, the training results were not very good, especially Jenny, whose eyes were red from being scolded. Jenny, who is a dancer, had no problem doing some showy moves, and those on the bed...

But the acting skills are a bit unbearable to watch. Except for the silly and sweet character who plays the true character, Shearer is frightened by the rest of the character performances. He is a little doubtful whether his next job will be ruined.

In order to prevent Jenny from losing her job in Hollywood after completing her training, Shearer had very strict requirements for Jenny.

Jenny, who was scolded again, looked pitifully at Song Yang outside the training room, asking Song Yang to help "rescue" her. Ever since she was with Song Yang, Jenny had never been so angry. Wherever she went, she would

It is praised by everyone.

Seeing Jenny's eyes asking for help, Song Yang just pretended not to see him, turned around and went straight downstairs. It's okay to be scolded by Hiller now, but when he is scolded after the movie is released, he will not be scolded by one person. It is estimated that all the major entertainment media

There were also movie fans who lined up to scold him.

After all, if Song Yang can shut up Hiller, he can't shut up all the moviegoers and those gossipy entertainment reporters too!

After leaving the villa and entering the small garden, Greg, Marcus and others were all there. On the other side, they were still sitting. When they heard Song Yang coming back, Eric from Rick and Chris from Comerica Bank hurried over.

Jain et al.

"Congratulations, Jia En." Song Yang said to Jia En, who had gained a lot of weight after not seeing each other for a few months.

Chris Jain, who is already the vice president of the investment department of Comerica Bank, shook hands with Song Yang and hugged him, and then said, "Song, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in the position I am in now."

Location!"

Everyone present was "our own people" and they all knew the basics. Jia En didn't care to say this. He just wanted to shout out that Song Yang would be the only one who would be saddled in the future. This time Song Yang called Jia En, and Jia En immediately flew from Texas overnight.

come over.

"Song, do you have any other projects coming to me this time?" As soon as he sat down, Jia En couldn't wait to ask Song Yang.

America Telecom's project made Chris Jain famous at Comerica Bank. In one year, Comerica Bank made hundreds of millions of dollars with both capital and interest. America Telecom has become Comerica Bank.

, the most successful project in the past ten years, and may continue to bring benefits in the future!

Thanks to America Telecom's Chicago-to-Wall Street line, coupled with his personal relationship with Song Yang, and the support of people at the Comerica Bank headquarters, Chris Jain jumped directly from the credit department manager in Houston to the Comerica Bank headquarters.

, serves as Vice President of America Investment Department.

Having tasted the sweetness, Comerica Bank decided to increase lending and investment in the technology and Internet industries. If it incubates another American Telecom project, Comerica Bank may really soar into the sky.

And Chris Jain, who became the head of the investment department of Comerica Bank, also made up his mind to follow Song Yang to death. Even if Song Yang didn't come to him this time, it wouldn't be long before Chris Jain

I will also come here in person.

When Song Yang heard this, he and Eric looked at each other, and then both couldn't help laughing. Hearing this laughter, Jia En was not embarrassed at all, but was convinced that there was probably a new project.

"There are some new projects that require Jian's cooperation and the support of Comerica Bank." Song Yang said to Jian.

When Chris Jain heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said with some pride, "Song, don't worry about this, as long as I am still at Comerica Bank, Comerica Bank will always support your project!"

"

As the vice president of investment at Comerica, Jain naturally has the power to do so. Even investments worth hundreds of millions of dollars can be passed directly without going through the board of directors.

But Song Yang didn’t come to him this time just for a small amount of investment. Eric on the side said to Jia En, “Jian En, we didn’t come to you this time for a small amount of funds!”
