Chapter 50 Blowing Balloons
Hearing Song Yang's words, Eric shook his head and said, "I want Rick Club to make changes. You know my mother's donations to the church were rejected!"
When this was brought up, Eric was obviously angry and helpless. He took out his knife but was rejected.
Song Yang would not be fooled by Eric's words so easily. If he wanted to make a donation, there were plenty of opportunities in private.
But you have to be honest and make donations under the title of Rick Club. Unless the person receiving the money doesn't want to hang out in America, otherwise he won't dare to accept it at all.
Don't look at Hollywood movies, America seems to be packaged very openly, but in America, a country where Puritans are the mainstream, you still need to be shameless, even if it is superficial.
Seeing that Song Yang didn't seem to believe what he said, Eric said, "I guarantee that nothing out of the ordinary will happen in the Rick Club. Nasdaq can accept Rick's listing application. This has been proven!
"
"I want Rick to make a transformation, not just doing these nightclubs, I hope to allow Rick to enter other industries, and I hope that Rick's company can continue to exist."
Of course, there is some truth in these words. Eric really wants to make some changes. In addition to the poor image of this industry, even if Rick goes public, outsiders will not regard Eric as a real person in the American entertainment industry.
There are many people who are big shots and even call him a pimp in private.
On the other hand, Eric is also in trouble. Nightclubs are a very special existence, and they are subject to great public opinion and controversy. No matter how lousy the federal government is, they still want Bilian on the surface, and they cannot support Rick's Club in an upright manner. This makes
Eric simply couldn't get a loan from the bank.
All this makes Eric a little anxious, and there is no way to go public. Whether Rick wants to maintain his current industry status, or really transform and enter other industries, he must have money. In this industry, Eric
Ke is already considered a big boss. If he wants to go further, it is not a matter of opening more nightclubs.
"Song, Rick really wants to transform and wants to cooperate with Song and technology companies like Double Click!"
Eric said it to Song Yang. To be able to reach this point, Eric naturally has a good vision. He naturally knows what the hottest industry is at the moment, and in Houston, the Internet is now the most famous. There is no doubt that Eric
Just double-click the company.
Song Yang didn't expect Eric to want to cooperate with Double Click Company. Song Yang didn't want to provoke Eric, so he could only say vaguely, "Maybe, I will definitely cooperate with Rick Company if I have the opportunity!"
Eric was not surprised by this rhetoric. On the contrary, if Song Yang agreed immediately, Eric would wonder whether Song Yang was preparing to trick him.
"This is America, anything can happen. Everyone has his or her own value. Keep my business card. Maybe you, Song, will need it sometime!"
Eric looked at Song Yang and said thoughtfully, and after that he took out a card inlaid with some small diamonds, which looked very luxurious.
"This is Rick's club diamond card. It can be used by any club with Rick in America. In addition to getting the best service, those who hold it can also get the full support of Rick's clubs everywhere.
Including temporary safe asylum, no more than 200 people in America have received this card now, and the most recent person to receive it is Marshall II!"
The Marshall family is also a well-known tens-billion-dollar oil tycoon in Houston. Decades ago, the Marshall family exchanged 15% of its shares with Koch Industries, an American chemical giant also in Texas. You can imagine how rich they are. Even Marshall II
Shidu became a distinguished guest of Rick's Club, and Eric had to "little" reveal the vast power of Rick's Club.
"Thank you!"
Song Yang picked up the diamond card and took a look. In addition to the Rick logo, there was also a sentence engraved on it that showed the style of the Rick Club, "I want to ascend to the sky, hold my throne high, and surpass the kings of God."
Putting this statement in other places, it might be just to show off, but when it is printed on Rick’s diamond card, it can’t help but make people think.
After coming down from the rooftop, Song Yang returned directly to his seat. At this moment, Gallo and his gang were having a heated fight with Nicole and other escorts. Gallo had obviously drank a lot.
"It's time to go!" Song Yang went over and pulled Gallo up.
When they got outside, Gallo woke up and said to Song Yang, "I just went to find you. The people at Rick's Club said you should go see Eric. Is everything okay between you and Eric?"
Gallo couldn't help but look a little worried. Eric was not a guy like Frant, but a real local gangster in Houston.
Song Yang glanced at Gallo and knew that this guy had drunk a lot and his brain was not soaked by alcohol. He threw Rick's club diamond card to him, "It's okay, we just talked about some things!"
Gallo hurriedly caught the card and looked at it. After seeing what card it was, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Song, did you really give it to me?!"
Gallo has heard about Rick's club diamond card. He heard that the people who get it are basically rich or powerful. For ordinary people to get it, they need Rick's review.
Double Click Company has started to get on the right track. After recruiting 300 people, Double Click Company has more than doubled in size. Moreover, Lane is still preparing for the New York branch. The scale of Double Click Company will continue to expand.
Although Song Yang is still busy here, it is much better now than the days of getting up early and staying up until midnight in the garage.
In the office building where Double Click Company is located, Song Yang rented another floor of the building to serve as the office building for the new project.
“The main problem now is not enough manpower!”
As the person in charge of two new projects, Wesley is now one head and two big. Compared with Silicon Valley, there are still too few Internet talents in Houston, let alone technology giants.
Song Yang looked at the newly built new office floor. There were only a few people there. Song Yang couldn't help but sigh. At this time, let alone Houston, Internet talents from all over the world were basically "pilgrimage" to Silicon Valley.
Places like the village are not very attractive to technology experts.
"This time when I go to Silicon Valley, I will choose a headquarters in Silicon Valley for the instant messaging icq project. When the email project is completed, the icq project will move to Silicon Valley!"
Song Yang gritted his teeth and said, originally Song Yang didn't want to enclose the land now, but now Song Yang simply can't come up with the money to build a headquarters, but obviously not moving to Silicon Valley has begun to affect the development of icq and other projects.
The price of land in Silicon Valley is no longer cheap, but compared to later generations, it is definitely still much cheaper. If we don't enclose a few pieces of land at this time, I'm afraid we will have to spend a lot of dollars to buy land in the future.
When Wesley heard that he could move to Silicon Valley, he couldn't help but look happy. In this era, no one who works in technology would not want to make a pilgrimage to Silicon Valley. Although the conditions in that place may not be as good as those in Houston, countless people can't stand it.
It was regarded as a "holy place", and of course it was accompanied by countless rumors of getting rich overnight.
After handling the matter in Houston, Song Yang, Greco, Irene and others got up together and flew towards San Francisco.
Unlike the last time he came in a hurry, Song Yang felt completely different when he came to San Francisco again.
After arriving in San Francisco, Song Yang naturally wanted to visit some old friends, and he went to the "Wired" magazine.
It was still the same as before, even though she had become a full-time employee, Keira was still the first to arrive at the door of Wired magazine.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Keira saw a familiar figure standing at the door of the magazine. Keira thought she must have been dazzled. The man she had seen once but was deeply impressed by was probably living a multi-millionaire life in Houston.
Life, why do you come here so early in the morning?
But when she walked closer and saw the face with a warm smile, casually leaning against the glass door just like the first time she saw it, Keira couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"Keira, long time no see!" Song Yang said to Keira, raising the coffee in his hand, "I don't know which flavor you like, so I brought it all here for you!"
Kayla opened the door of the magazine and said to Song Yang still in disbelief, "Song, I didn't expect that you still remember me..."
"I said I won't forget, thank you for everything you did last time!" Song Yang took out a jewelry box that had been prepared long ago and put it in Keira's hand.
Seeing the Tiffany logo on the jewelry box, Kayla knew that it was worth a lot of money. Maybe with her salary, she wouldn't be able to buy it for half a year. "Song, I can't have this, that's what I should do..."
Without a doubt, Song Yang put the Tiffany jewelry box in Kayla's pocket, "You deserve this. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to see Kevin Kelly at all, and there wouldn't be Double Click today."
Company, I should award you a medal weighing one ton!"
Keira was amused by Song Yang's words and felt that what happened today was still like a dream.
Not only Keira, but also Kevin Kelly, whose beard had grown a bit longer, was also surprised when he entered the office and saw Song Yangde.
"A multimillionaire is visiting Wired Magazine!" Kevin Kelly hugged Song Yang and said with a bit of ridicule.
