"LB's stock price soared 12% today, hitting a record high. Leslie Wexner's family also ranked among the top twenty most valuable families in Ohio for the first time..."

Another girl in the apartment turned on the TV and switched to a New York TV station. Reports about the LB Group immediately appeared.

Then I turned to a New York entertainment channel and news about Victoria's Secret, Rick and Song Yang appeared.

"It is unimaginable that Bruno Song, who came from the Internet, is Rick's major shareholder with 35% of the shares. He decided to let Rick acquire Victoria's Secret and form a Victoria's Secret Angel supermodel!"

On the entertainment channel, the host said jokingly with a smile on his face. An upstart from the Internet, who did not stay in Silicon Valley, suddenly acquired Victoria's Secret, which can't help but make people think a lot, especially for tabloids and entertainment media.

Multiple materials.

"This station has received news that the model contract offered by Victoria's Secret this time is much higher than before. As long as you sign an exclusive model contract with Victoria's Secret, you can get an annual signing fee of US$3 million!"

The host shouted in a surprised tone, "Although models are beautiful now, the prize money for a modeling competition is on the table, which can be hundreds of thousands at most. But now that Victoria's Secret has been acquired by Rick, this ceiling has been lifted abruptly."

A lot taller.

This is equivalent to signing a contract to become the spokesperson of Victoria's Secret. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for countless models. In addition to receiving the industry's sky-high signing fees from Victoria's Secret, they can also have advertising endorsements, product promotions and even opportunities.

Entering the film and television industry, etc., it is impossible to earn more than tens of millions of dollars every year. This was simply unimaginable in the modeling industry in the past. Victoria's Secret has turned the modeling industry upside down with its own efforts.

"There is news that Victoria's Secret is in contact with the 23-year-old Heidi Klum, the winner of the 1992 Model Challenge, and may become the first signed model for Victoria's Secret..."

The host of the entertainment channel released a picture of "Desperate Housewives", no, it was Heidi Klum, and then released a picture of Laetitia Costa and several other models who are rumored to have signed contracts with Victoria's Secret.

This entertainment channel is quite lively. In addition to showing photos of several models, it also posted photos of Jenny, and then compared them with several models such as Letitia Costa to summarize Song Yang's aesthetics.

With your vision and hobbies, the effect of the program will directly satisfy you...

Elsa Benitez watched the program on TV and heard that Rick spent nearly 300 million US dollars to acquire Victoria's Secret and build a new Victoria's Secret. She couldn't help but look at the picture of Song Yang on the TV. That was

Photo of Song Yang on Nasdaq when Double Click was listed.

"Elsa, do you want to audition for Victoria's Secret? Letitia, Heidi Klum is a model from France and Germany, why should she sign a contract with America's Victoria's Secret!"

The girl who just turned on the TV looked at the news on the TV with dissatisfaction, and then asked Elsa.

Elsa was a little excited for a moment, but also a little hesitant. She thought of those things during her short stay in Houston, and Elsa Benitez. I wonder if Song Yang still remembers her, especially now, Lei

Top models like Tisha are all going to join the brand owned by Song Yang.

At this time, the girl who was smoking a lady's cigarette said to Elsa, "Didn't you say you knew Bruno Song? This is your "great" opportunity. As long as Bruno Song speaks, you can get three million."

With the US dollar signing fee, you can also participate in some Victoria's Secret shows and become a Victoria's Secret Angel..."

The girls wearing heavy makeup spoke with a hint of ridicule. The competition in their industry is extremely cruel. Hollywood actresses have to face the "red sofa", but the situation in the modeling industry is even worse. They have to face financial sponsors.

Brands, even photographers, etc., they appear in advertisements and magazine covers and are very famous, but behind the scenes they are at the lower reaches of the industry chain.

And if Victoria's Secret can provide three million US dollars as annual signing fee, then even the top models may have to come and compete for it. For small models, this time may really be just a hope.

That's all.

Hearing these words, Elsa Benitez did not speak, but returned to the room, and then took out a handwritten phone number from the deepest part of her wallet.

After a sleepless night in the small apartment, Elsa Benitez lay on the bed and hesitated for a long time. If she couldn't make a name for herself in America, then Elsa would go back to Mexico. Look.

Looking at the phone number on the paper beside the bed, Elsa finally pressed it.

Song Yang, who came back from Ohio, is rushing to San Jose. Today, countless Internet companies have gathered in San Jose. Tomorrow will be the day to decide on the establishment of the American Internet Association. Although it requires a vote, basically all major Internet companies.

Everyone is sure that this matter is already a done deal.

The establishment of the Internet Society will be of great benefit to Microsoft, Netscape, Yahoo, Double Click, AOL and other companies. It can increase their voice in the Internet industry and even cut a crop of leeks, so they will naturally support it.

Song Yang came to a hotel in San Jose, where he was going to meet with Microsoft, Netscape, Yahoo, AOL and others. Before the establishment of the American Internet Association, the major Internet companies naturally had to negotiate how to divide the cake, otherwise tomorrow

If you have fun while voting, it will probably become a joke.

As soon as he entered the hotel, Song Yang received a phone call. Hearing a somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar voice on the phone, a figure couldn't help but pop up in Song Yang's mind.

After a while, Song Yang hung up the phone, thought for a moment, called Eric again, and then walked towards the hotel.

In a hotel room, the two founders of Netscape were already present. Marc Andreessen put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Playboy announced the cooperation with Victoria's Secret. Song's Victoria's Secret has recruited many models!"

Speaking of this, both Anderson and Jim Clark couldn't help but smile. Anderson looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. Although the technology media in Silicon Valley were criticizing Song Yang for not doing his job properly, Song Yang was playing movies, making mobile phones, and recruiting models.

, which Silicon Valley person doesn’t want to do it?

Song Yang's ability to enter these industries is enough to show that although he is involved in lawsuits, Song Yang's main business has not been affected. The Internet industry can support Song Yang's squandering in these industries.

On the contrary, Netscape has weakened a lot in just over half a year. Now its market value is almost being caught up by Yahoo. Marc Andreessen also wanted to play Song Yang's trick, but Netscape was defeated by Microsoft IE.

The browser is already exhausted.

"Jim, what are you going to do with Song?" Anderson couldn't help but ask Jim Clark.

Since the beginning of this year, Song Yang has not only launched icq and led a wave of Internet trends, but also invested in several companies such as eBay and Amazon in the Internet industry. After Double Click went public, Song Yang became more and more popular in the Internet industry.

"Quiet", on the contrary, he is quite active outside the Internet industry, and there are even voices saying that Song Yang wants to "stay away" from the Internet industry.

Listening to Anderson's words, Jim Clark smiled and shook his head. He glanced at Anderson. Anderson was undoubtedly a technical genius and had a very high vision. But from the perspective of the Internet industry, in this regard, Song Yang

People born in Yeluzi are unique.

"Song will definitely not leave the Internet. If there is a winner in the end of the Internet, Bruno Song will definitely be one of them."

Jim Clark looks back on Song Yang since his debut. Although the outside world feels that he is very "reckless" and has fought hard against WorldCom, AOL, various giant companies, and even the Trade Commission, he has never played the kind of games that have no chance of winning.

battle.

After the emergence of Netscape, it attracted most of the firepower. As a result, Double Click and Hotmail were enriched. Now Yahoo has a tendency to replace Netscape. However, icq is hiding behind Yahoo and attracts the attention of Microsoft, AOL and other companies.

If you put it on Yahoo, you won't realize that icq already occupies half of the world in terms of instant messaging.

This time Song Yang wanted to form the American Internet Association. As a result, Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL and Netscape all supported it. This is enough to show how influential Song Yang is in the Internet industry. At least in this matter, Microsoft and Netscape

If you want to do it, I'm afraid it won't be done until the dog's brain is knocked out.

When Song Yang came to a small lobby of the hotel, Netscape's Marc Andreessen, Jim Clark, Yahoo President Kugel, Yang Zhiyuan, Microsoft representative Todd, AOL sent Case's confidant Leonsis and many others came.

, these people basically represent half of the American Internet industry today, and they are also the companies with the most say.

"I'm sorry, something happened on the road that delayed a little time and kept everyone waiting!" Song Yang raised a glass of wine and said to the crowd.

"We understand," Marc Andreessen quipped to Song Yang, "Song, will you be on the cover of the next issue of Playboy?"

These words made everyone burst into laughter, and Song Yang also shook his head. Playboy covers not only include girls, but also sometimes select some special characters to be on the list, but without exception, they are all related to gossip, a certain

A New York real estate developer, he was also a frequent visitor to Playboy...

Naturally, there was no immediate tension at the beginning. A group of people gathered together in twos and threes, all enjoying cold meals and drinks. Although on weekdays, many Internet companies present today are crazy about grabbing users and markets, but this time

You still have to be polite.

Netscape and Microsoft were already at loggerheads. At this time, Anderson and Jim Clark were talking to Todd, and Song Yang was standing with Yang Zhiyuan.

"What's going on in Asia now?" Although they couldn't start their trip to Asia together, Yang Zhiyuan is still very concerned about Asia.

Song Yang mentioned the situation of the domestic Internet to Yang Zhiyuan, "The Internet industry over there is like a basin of oil and water. As long as you burn the firewood, the oil and water will boil!"

After Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. Song Yang saw this and didn't say much. But if Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan can invest heavily in the domestic Internet industry, they will definitely let Wall Street institutions and Silicon Valley venture capital.
