Chapter 69 Blowing Bubbles
As soon as he entered the hotel, Song Yang heard the hotel waiter telling him that someone was coming to visit today. Song Yang picked up the business card left by the visitor and saw an unfamiliar name.
Song Yang, who was about to throw away the business card, couldn't help but show a strange look on his face after looking at it a few more times. He didn't expect that this person would come to the door.
"Who?" Jenny, who had just gone shopping on Fifth Avenue, saw the strange look on Song Yang's face and couldn't help but ask Song Yang.
Song Yang held the business card and muttered, "My spiritual mentor I haven't met yet..."
The person who came to find Song Yang turned out to be Professor Tristan, the academic leader in the Internet industry who had previously exchanged compliments with Song Yang.
When Song Yang established Double Click Company, he saw the impact of the debate between Tristan and Barnard on TV. Song Yang did not expect that Professor Tristan would actually come to his door.
In the evening, in a restaurant in New York, Jenny was naturally very dissatisfied with the little old man Tristan who suddenly disturbed her and Song Yang's candlelight dinner.
Tristan is not that kind of academic. He can become a trumpeter and theory maker in the American Internet industry, and is supported by many funders. Tristan's ability to observe people's opinions is naturally not a problem.
"You know Jenny, in the past two days, the entire Silicon Valley and my students have been discussing you, saying that you were the most dazzling pearl on Nasdaq yesterday, and they are all asking who you are!" Tristan asked.
Jenny said.
Upon hearing this, Jenny felt happy, and suddenly felt that the bad old man in front of her didn't seem so annoying anymore.
"How is it possible? It's all those media reporting randomly!" Jenny said happily.
Hearing this, Tristan showed an expression that showed how could he fool others at his age, "You can ask Song, I think at this time, Hollywood company agents are probably all over the world looking for your contact information!"
Song Yang has some understanding of Tristan's ability to tell lies. There are indeed media reports on Jenny, but most of them are just a passing mention, or some canary reports, and there is absolutely no such thing as this bad old man.
So well said.
"Of course, I can't think of any Hollywood agency that doesn't want to sign you!" Seeing Jenny's gaze, Song Yang could only say.
Those Hollywood companies, even if they want to sign Jenny at this time, they just want to use her relationship with Song Yang to hype up and consume a wave of popularity. As for Jenny's future, I'm afraid those people don't care at all.
"Song, everything you have done is beyond my imagination. Double Click Company will enter New York soon?!" Tristan looked at Song Yang and said.
Song Yang nodded, "Lian, who is in charge of Double Click's advertising business, will be coming to serve as the manager of Double Click's New York department in the next two days. Double Click's success today is inseparable from the support of Professor Tristan!"
Song Yang and Tristan looked at each other, both of them smiled, and said nothing. As the sedan chair carried the man, Tristan praised Song Yang, and Song Yang reciprocated the favor, boasting Tristan's status in the world.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Tristan finally began to ask tentatively, "Song, you should be going to a university, right?!"
Influenced by Bill Gates, coupled with the advocacy of certain media, and with the popularity of technology and the Internet, the younger generation around the world has been deceived. I don’t know how many people have finally entered college, but then ran out halfway.
Then realize your own "value"...
Not to mention in America, Gallo was one of the people recruited, so Tristan didn't know if Song Yang would enter college and follow the example of Bill Gates and other seniors.
Seeing Song Yang nodding, Tristan seemed very happy, "Song, if you are willing to come to a university in New York State, I can write letters of recommendation for you from all the professors at New York University!"
Song Yang understood what the little old man meant. He obviously wanted to solidify the master-disciple relationship between Song Yang and him. From a spiritual mentor to a true mentor, he just had to directly tell Song Yang to become his disciple.
After a slight hesitation, Song Yang knew that if he really followed Tristan, his life would definitely be fine.
But after thinking for a moment, Song Yang still shook his head. With his current reputation, he could just pick any prestigious university. Any American university with some reputation would not reject Song Yang, who is very likely to become a billionaire in the future.
Alumni.
"I am preparing to enter the University of San Jose. In the next period of time, I need to deal with some things in Silicon Valley!"
Song Yang finally chose San Jose, the "heart of Silicon Valley". For a long time to come, at least until the new century, Silicon Valley will be the world's technology center, a gathering place for top talents, and have the best scientific research resources in the world.
Song Yang needs to put icq and other projects in Silicon Valley. It takes a long time to find technical personnel in Houston, but Song Yang doesn't want to happen again.
"But Professor Tristan, you will always be my spiritual mentor. I think all the media know this." Song Yang gave Tristan a hint and would not undermine Tristan. "In addition, I will not
I will choose the Department of Computer Science at the University of San Jose!”
Hearing Song Yang's words, Tristan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, after hearing that Song Yang would not choose the computer science department but study business school, Tristan had no choice but to give up. Even if he recruited Song Yang, it would be cheap.
other professors.
"Song, do you have any new plans recently?" Tristan asked casually without expecting too much, but unexpectedly Song Yang agreed directly.
"I have a small project!"
Tristan became more energetic, "It's inconvenient, please tell me a little bit?!"
Song Yang smiled and said, "It's just a "small" project. If everything goes well, Professor Tristan will be able to experience the new project at the end of the month. I hope Professor Tristan can support it then!"
It is expected that by the end of the month, hotmail mailboxes will be almost ready for testing. This requires Tristan, Kevin Kelly and other influential people in the Internet industry to start advocating for hotmail mailboxes.
"Then I have to wait!" Tristan said with great interest. He didn't mind acting as Song Yang's trumpeter. Anyway, as Song Yang's nominal spiritual mentor, as long as Song Yang didn't deny it, he could take part in it.
Take the credit for yourself.
Just like the emergence of Double Click Company, Tristan's Digital Laboratory has received a large amount of investment from investors. If Song Yang's new project can be as successful as Double Click Company, then Tristan's Laboratory will probably be able to
Got a sponsorship fee.
Song Yang and Jenny, after staying in New York for several days, finally waited for the arrival of Kevin Lane.
Double-click the company's New York branch office, choose the New York Business Center, which is a high-priced building, and the building opposite the Empire State Building, and rent a first-floor office building.
When entering the office building of Double Click Company in New York, Song Yang couldn't help but remember that Song Yang had spoken to Bledsoe Jayden and Gallo more than half a year ago.
At that time, the two complained about the poor environment in the garage. Song Yang once said that in the future, he would put the Double Click company's office building opposite the Empire State Building. Every day when he looked up, he could see the Empire State Building!
Who could have imagined that in less than a year, Song Yang's words have come true. Although this place is very expensive, Song Yang still chose this place as Double Click's new office location in New York.
As for Bledsoe Jayden, Song Yang couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this guy. This guy is still spreading rumors that are unfavorable to Song Yang on various occasions in Silicon Valley. He gets involved with the vulture lawyers and wants to sue Double Click.
, took a large amount of money from Song Yang, and thinking of this guy, Song Yang felt a little bad.
When Song Yang entered, the office floor had just been built and some parts were still being decorated, but it was already busy.
"President Ryan, please sign this document!"
Standing at the door of Ryan's office, Song Yang watched people coming in and out of his office, and President Ryan's voice kept ringing, asking Ryan to hold various documents.
Ryan has now been promoted to the vice president of Double Click, in charge of the advertising and sales departments. Now that he has come to New York, he is considered to have great power and is regarded by the outside world as Double Click's second-in-command.
"Oh, President Ryan, a big shot in the Internet and advertising industries!"
Hearing this smiling voice, Ryan raised his head and saw Song Yang standing at the door. Ryan quickly stood up and said, "Boss!"
Looking at the busy scene outside, it can be seen that Ryan has put a lot of thought into being able to set up a department in such a short period of time. Song Yang turned back to look at Ryan, "Well done!"
Now, unlike when Song Yang first met him, with a sense of dejection, now Delian has taken on the air of an elite executive.
Ryan felt that he had made the right bet. From a small department director at News Corp. in Houston, he became the vice president of America's largest advertising company. Moreover, as long as he double-clicks on the company to go public, he can also receive equity rewards!
After sitting down, Ryan placed several documents in front of Song Yang. Now he was very motivated, "The advertising market in New York is much larger than that in Houston. Our revenue in the next quarter may double!"
Song Yang looked at the documents that Ryan brought over. After Netscape went public, the Internet was stimulated too much. Various websites grew like weeds. Where there was demand, there was a market. The demand for digital advertising was also soaring.
"In other words, by the end of the year, Double Click's monthly revenue will exceed US$10 million?!"
Song Yang looked at the report in his hand and was a little surprised. Song Yang remembered that when it was first established, the company's one-month revenue was only 1.68 million U.S. dollars. Just this, it was blown to the sky by Silicon Valley and Wall Street. You can imagine
And you know what the other colleagues are like.
Ryan affirmed, "The Internet digital advertising market is bigger than we imagined. Of course, a large part of the reason for such rapid growth comes from the entry of venture capital companies!"
Song Yang understood somewhat. To put it bluntly, the reason why advertising fees increased so fast was because venture capital companies were advertising the websites they invested in. It was a veritable involution. In the end, the advertising fees became cheaper for Double Click Company. This was the bubble blowing.
The first step to getting up.
But after just a few glances, Song Yang put the report aside. Can this thing be called a bubble? According to the famous saying of Wall Street analysts, "No bubble, no prosperity." Anyway, Double Click Company stood on the bubble and blew it.
