Back To 1995

  Chapter 1185 Yellow Flowers of Yesterday

  If this matter started out as a round-robin, then it seems to explain why Song Yang reacted so flatly, and just borrowed the matter of Mike Bowen to sell the Skype platform in a reasonable way.

   "If my guess is correct, then... after this matter is over and Skype is sold, I imagine that the party campaign foundation and Mike will all receive donations from the Bruno family!"

Listening to Card's words, the expression on Mike Bowen's face was not much better than swallowing a fly. Anyway, no matter whether Card's guess is true or not, he is determined to be the scapegoat for forcing the big money maker, and there will be a ghost in the future. The big benefactor is willing to support him, this moment is the pinnacle of his power in this life, and in the future... there will be a ghostly future.

At most, if Song Yang did not fall out with the Elephant Party, then Mike Bowen would not be abandoned by the Elephant Party because of this, and he would finish his term in peace, but when the little cowboy prepares for the next term, the first It is estimated that he will be kicked off to curry favor with the big benefactor, to show that he is at odds with a guy like him who dares to blatantly target the big benefactor.

And if Card's guess is wrong, Mike Bowen can guess what the little cowboy is thinking by looking at the little cowboy's expression at the moment, then he must be replaced without hesitation. Of course you can kick the finished chamber pot, so as not to get your hands dirty.

However, in terms of face, of course the little cowboy can live. It is impossible to say that Mike Bowen will be kicked immediately. Mike Bowen is his confidant, so just kick him directly, let other confidants think, and the hearts will be scattered , No matter how the team leads, it must be "forced", and he can only be replaced by performing a bitter scene.

   "Mike, don't worry, I will support you, no one can make you leave!"

  The commander of the little cowboy said words of comfort to Mike Bowen, but it completely cooled Mike Bowen's heart.

"But Mike, you need to do something to ease the relationship with Bruno Song. You did a great job this time, but Song, after all, is a staunch supporter of our elephant party. We cannot, because of this incident, Make more supporters sad!

   The Federal Communications Commission can introduce subsidies for the Starlink project! "

When he walked out of the Grand Commander's mansion, Mike Bowen was still in a daze. He didn't expect that Feng Shui would come so quickly. One day ago, he could handle ICQ, but after one day, he changed to Song Yang's attitude , decided his fate.

As for the commander-in-chief, Mike Bowen is even more unsurprising. The emperor is ruthless, and the powerful people in America are basically the same. It's faster than flipping a book without mercy, and Mike Bowen is no stranger to it.

   "Todd, don't worry, ICQ will start negotiations with Microsoft. Of course, Microsoft is the one with the most hope of getting ICQ!"

   "Mr. Murdoch!"

  In the large-scale Bloom family estate in San Jose, the ringing of Irene, Greg, and Marcus' phones never stopped at all, and some calls went directly to Song Yang.

  When the news that Song Yang was going to sell Skype came out, the entire technology industry immediately set off a turmoil. Those who wanted to get Skype far exceeded ICQ's expectations.

All kinds of quotations, as well as tentative phone calls, all came in one after another. Among them, the most powerful ones were Microsoft, News Corporation, Cisco, Yahoo, and many Wall Street institutions who wanted to go directly to fish in troubled waters. Blackstone Investment, Bain Investment, and even many small and medium-sized technology companies have asked the price one after another. Even though they know that it is impossible to buy Skype, they still come to join in the fun, hoping to increase their reputation by acquiring Skype.

And just after Skype reached a settlement with the Telecom Operators Association, users can use the Skype platform in a fair and just manner in the future, several Brazilian telecoms that banned Skype overseas also unblocked Skype wisely, and there is also news that ICQ was forced to sell Skype It is reported that with all kinds of blessings, Skype has added more than 1.88 million new users worldwide in just one day!

It is no exaggeration to say that for more than a day, Skype has been the focus of the global technology industry. Countless media are analyzing the hype, who will get Skype, and what will become of Skype after it becomes legal. And most importantly, how much Skype is worth has become the focus of countless people's attention, and the media is overwhelmingly reporting it!

Irene, Marcus, and Greg were busy, but Song Yang didn't feel too nervous. This time, Song Yang was the seller, and he just waited for the buyer to raise the price. He wanted to **** Skype's company. The more, the easier it is for Song Yang to raise the price.

  Song Yang pushed little Alan Bell around the garden of the manor before pushing the little guy back to the nursery and handing it over to someone to take care of him.

   "Director Bruno!"

Seeing Song Yang approaching, Evan Spiegel and Kalanick stood up quickly. They thought that they would not have the chance to see Song Yang today, but unexpectedly, Song Yang even made time to come meet them.

   "Director Bruno, are you really selling the Skype platform like this?!"

   "Mike Bowen's white-eyed wolf, I think I should call the commander-in-chief. The Bruno family and ICQ donate so much dollars to the Elephant Party every year. It's really for feeding..."

   Evan Spiegel said indignantly, at the last moment, he still held back and didn't say the word "dog".

Evan Spiegel has a good family background. His parents are both supporters of the Donkey Party, but under the influence of Song Yang and ICQ, Spiegel has become a supporter of Spiegel. The social cow attribute has made him a lot of big figures in the elephant party. Although he is not as good as Song Yang, he donates a lot of dollars to the elephant party every year.

The current Spiegel is very similar to Song Yang when he first debuted back then. He has a little worth and a little fame, and he is a figure who may become a big financial backer in the future. Geer contact.

The example of Adrian is right in front of you. After meeting Song Yang, a big benefactor, Adrian, with the support of the big benefactor's huge amount of dollars, has skyrocketed all the way, and in a few years he has become the state of Texas. The governor of the United States, one of the most powerful figures in America, what if Evan Spiegel becomes the next Song Yang and becomes a billionaire, many congressmen are betting on Spiegel's potential.

Song Yang looked at Evan Spiegel's expression and was very satisfied with the effect of this wave of public opinion. The news that Skype was forced to sell was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He just mourned for Mike Bowen. The more obvious the public opinion effect is, the more difficult it is estimated that Mike Bowen's life in Washington will be.

"After Skype is sold, this matter will be completely over!" Song Yang just said to Evan Spiegel, not planning to make more troubles, the scapegoat was made by Mike Bowen, why bother? What more to explain.

Seeing that Song Yang really made up his mind to sell Skype, Evan Spiegel and Kalanick couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know how much Skype would cost, but according to the current level of fierce competition, It is said that some companies have raised the purchase price to more than 8.5 billion US dollars, and the final transaction price may soar to more than 10 billion US dollars, or even far more.

For Song Yang, selling the Skype platform, even if it sells for more than tens of billions of dollars, can only be regarded as "reluctantly giving up". It is an unattainable existence.

Especially the unlucky Kalanick, who is still carrying a lot of debts. If he hadn't been squatting here with Song Yang, no one would dare to find fault. Kalanick himself dare not think about what he looks like now. Kalanick, not to mention selling tens of billions of dollars, even if it is only half, or even a tenth, he is satisfied.

  Song Yang glanced at the two of them, "So, why did you come here today..."

Kalanick glanced at Evan Spiegel. Today, he mainly brought Spiegel to see Song Yang. After all, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement. Between Yang and Yang, the relationship is always a bit worse.

   "Director Bruno, I'm here today to represent the new Pets company and give little Alan Bell a gift!"

  While speaking, Evan Spiegel opened the box he brought over, and a German Shepherd that looked a few months old appeared inside. It seemed that he had been carefully selected.

   "It seems that the new Pets company is doing well?!"

Song Yang teased the shepherd dog. It is very common to have a dog in American families. On average, every two or three families have one dog. To a certain extent, it also symbolizes the integrity of a family. As for keeping it as a pet, it is still If it is used to look at the nursing home, it depends on the family's economic situation and the area it is in.

   "It's not bad, the new Pets company, currently, has entered several cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and San Jose through online and offline models!"
