Gallo did not compare his expertise with Erin, but simply asked Erin, "If no other investment company is willing to offer a higher price, can you sustain the loss?"

Eileen was a little speechless for a moment. It is true that she has professional knowledge, but she does not have much experience. Eileen does have some selfish motives. Of course, she wants Double Click Company to raise a larger amount of money.

But she also has other thoughts. If she can make a big news, her career will have a brilliant start!

But if it failed, Irene's heart trembled for a while. It was nearly 20 million US dollars, how could she afford it.

"Enough!"

Song Yang glared at Gallo. At this time, he had already rejected the acquisition of Telephone and Telegraph Group. What's the use of regretting it anymore? Even if he goes back to the other party now, it will only be a loss of value.

"I trust Irene's judgment and let the news out that Telephone and Telegraph Group wants to invest in Double Click!"

Song Yang decided to lure the snake out of its hole, using the name of the Telephone and Telegraph Group to promote Double Click Company. Even the Telephone and Telegraph Group was interested in Double Click Company. What are other companies waiting for?

Gallo was still a little dissatisfied, but he was pulled by Greg. After glaring at Eileen, he left the office. Eileen, Ryan and others also left one after another.

After everyone left, Song Yang also leaned on the chair. If you want to say how it feels to push away 18 million US dollars, Song Yang has experienced it. To say that he doesn't feel bad is definitely nonsense.

But there is no use worrying now. We just want to see if there are still big investors who will offer a higher price in order to double-click the company.

As one of the richest and most influential giants in America, Telephone and Telegraph Group's influence is undoubted. When news broke that it wanted to acquire Double Click, it immediately attracted the attention of Silicon Valley and Wall Street.

At this time, the venture capital firms that had originally been focusing on Silicon Valley began to turn their attention to the companies behind Netscape and Yahoo. The news that Telephone and Telegraph Group had offered Double Click $18 million was even more disturbing.

Few people are surprised when they hear the news.

The Internet market is very hot right now, and everyone can feel it. However, a company that was founded less than half a year ago, with just the concept of digital advertising business, and its revenue has not exceeded one million, is already worth nearly 20 million US dollars.

The knife still leaves many people speechless.

Using the Telephone and Telegraph Group as a tool, the popularity of Double Click Advertising Company naturally increased rapidly.

Song Yang, on the other hand, didn't wait much and soon received another call, and it was from an old acquaintance.

"Song, I saw the news and double-clicked the company. It seems that it is in trouble?!"

Jim Clark's voice came over the phone. Although his words seemed to be worried about Double Click Company, Song Yang always felt like he was gloating about his misfortune. He felt that the caller did not look like a good person.

Song Yang disagreed with what Jim Clark said, "Double-Click Company is not in trouble, but it needs funds to expand the market. Don't forget that Double-Click Company must complete Netscape's performance plan of tens of millions of digital advertising revenue next year!"

"Come on, Song, we are all our own people, so there is no need to say this to me. Tell me, how much does Double Click Company cost?" Jim Clark said directly.

Song Yang has no resistance to cooperating with Netscape. At this stage, he still has to cling to Netscape's thigh and rely on Netscape's name to fool people.

"Five million US dollars, Double Click is willing to give up 10% of its equity to Netscape!" Jim asked Song Yang to quote, and Song Yang spoke directly without any politeness.

As soon as he heard this, Jim Clark couldn't help but cursed, "Song, I'm not one of those Silicon Valley venture capitalists. Do you think Double Click is worth fifty million dollars now?"

Song Yang directly raised Double-Click to a valuation of US$50 million. Jim Clark was so angry that he cursed loudly, feeling that Song Yang was treating Netscape and Silicon Valley investors as fools.

"For 10 million, Netscape wants to get 50% of Double-click's equity!"

Jim Clark increased the valuation of Double Click by another two million dollars, officially reaching the level of $20 million!

"Song, let me tell you, choosing Netscape will be good for you and DoubleClick. I am one of my own people and I will abide by the rules of this industry. I have experienced everything you are going through now. Choose Netscape."

You can be like Anderson and go on smoothly without worrying about being kicked out one day!"

Jim Clark told Song Yang in a deep tone with some warning that if he chooses other investors, there is no guarantee that Song Yang will not be kicked out of the Double Click company he founded.

Jim Clark has profound experience in this regard, but he was kicked out of SGI, which he founded by himself. Moreover, as a layman and an expert in investing, there is no guarantee that he will not interfere with the operation of Double Click Company.

Netscape investment does not have this problem at all. Of course, it is not ruled out that Song Yang and Jim will fall out in the future, but overall, choosing Netscape is a good choice, although Jim Clark is also very evil. Once he comes up, he will

If you take away half of the equity of Double Click Company and invest a few more times in the future, you can directly control Double Click Company.

"I will consider it!" Song Yang, the telephone and telegraph company, even refused, and Netscape had to pay an additional two million, but this time Song Yang did not reject it outright.

Jim didn't care about this result. He was just chasing rabbits today. By the way, "One day, you will understand that Netscape is the best choice. My proposal has always been effective. You know my

Telephone!"

After hanging up the phone, Jim Clark didn't take the matter too seriously. He thought Song Yang would call him back sooner or later.

The price of 20 million is the Silicon Valley's assessment of Double-Click. No matter Netscape or other venture capital, they will not give too much price. At most, the price difference will be one to two million.

As for whether there will be other villains who will come out to cut off Hu, Jim is not sure, but he also thinks it is unlikely. After all, you can't always encounter a lunatic like SoftBank, holding 100 million US dollars, rushing to invest.

I don't know why, but thinking about Yahoo, Jim felt a little guilty.

The successive calls from Telephone and Telegraph Group and Netscape gave Song Yang, Greco, Irene and others a rough impression of Double Click's positioning in the market, which was basically around 20 million.

After Jim Clark called, there were not many calls from investment companies for several days. There were only a few tentative calls from Double Click Company, but the price offered was not higher than Netscape's.

This made Song Yang a little anxious for a moment, wondering if he should go to Netscape to start talking. At this moment, Irene entered Song Yang's office again and brought him some news that was somewhat unexpected.
