Back To 1995

   Chapter 205 Hooked

   If you want to say that the current Siebel Automobile Club is a feeling, it must be what kind of experience the owner becomes a billionaire in the blink of an eye.

   That Siebel Automobile Club was experienced, it was quite sudden, but for Siebel Automobile Club, this is not only a joy, the owner's worth has skyrocketed, of course, it is a good thing for the Automobile Club.

   But the Siebel Automobile Club is also worried. Song Yang, whose wealth has skyrocketed, what should he do if he loses sight of Siebel, a small car repair shop? !

   Since Song Yang invested, I have never been to the Siebel Auto Club, and I have not even asked once, as if I forgot there was such an investment.

   This is also the reason why Anduran, Stewart and the others came to San Jose to find Song Yang today. They were afraid that if they didn't come again, Song Yang would completely forget about them, and it would be impossible for them to ask for funds.

   After another drift, the car was thrown in front of Song Yang. Gallo excitedly climbed out of the car and shouted at Song Yang, "Song, this is Siebel's sports car, it's our sports car!"

   Looking at the excited Gallo, Song Yang nodded with a smile. Building a sports car of his own has been Gallo's wish for so many years. Regardless of the performance and design of the car, it is now finally his wish.

   "This is the best car I've ever driven!"

Gallo came over and bumped his fists with Anduran and Stewart, obviously saying good things to Song Yang on their behalf, "Song, do you want to try it, this car has more horsepower than that Ferrari F50. interesting!"

As soon as Song Yang heard this, he waved his hands again and again, joking, just this "Wanguo brand" modified car, the parts inside, from the engine, chassis, gearbox, car chips, etc., were all bought by other parts manufacturers. To assemble, with Sibel's current ability, at most it is to make a design and develop his own technology, which is impossible.

  How dare you put this car on the market without running for a few years and hundreds of thousands of kilometers!

   "Is this car a copy of Lamborghini's design?" Song Yang turned to the chief designer Stewart and asked.

   Hearing Song Yang's words, Stewart was obviously a little nervous. Siebel's first sports car was obviously "borrowed" from Lamborghini's design. It should not look too similar to Lamborghini's classic models.

Stewart looked embarrassed. This is not the first time someone has said this. When he drove the car all the way from Houston to do the road zip test, as long as he stopped, someone would come and ask the people from the Siebel Automobile Club. , This is not a new car from Lamborghini.

"Boss," Stewart sorted out the language, "it's not that easy to design a brand-new model. Siebel's first model did borrow Italian style, but I can guarantee that the car's The speed can definitely surpass Lamborghini and Bugatti Veyron!"

Obviously, Stewart and a few engineers from the Siebel Club put their energy completely on speed, to make Siebel's car the fastest sports car in the world, which is also the dream of countless car designers. thing.

The truth is right, a sports car is to be fast, but for a sports car brand, it is useless to be fast. After all, unless you go to the F1 arena, the whole world will count the real people who buy sports cars. I dare not say 100%. At least 99% of them buy this thing, not for racing, but to hold Bi, a sports car can't be used to hold Bi, it would be meaningless...

  For those who actually buy this thing, no matter how fast it is, as long as this car looks like other sports cars, I am afraid that it will immediately be regarded as a follower with no interest.

Anduran, the general manager of the Siebel Automobile Club, said at this time, "Song, this is just Siebel's first car. This time I participated in the SEMA Modified Car Competition in Las Vegas, just to let everyone know that Siebel sports car. coming!"

Over the years, the modified car competitions are full of demons. It is also when countless car companies show themselves. Designers of major car brands will modify themselves, and various concept cars will be unveiled, regardless of whether these cars can be driven or not, it seems true It's refreshing, and for a new car brand, it's a platform to showcase itself.

   Countless new car brands are showing their talents in modified cars, setting new speed records one after another, and after gaining enough fame, they will transform into the ranks of regular military car brands.

   Song Yang listened to Anduran's words and just laughed. Anduran's words were not wrong. After all, it was only Siebel's first car, and the requirements could not be too high.

   "The American Global Foundation will continue to invest in the next quarter funding of the Siebel Automobile Club, but I hope Siebel's next model can make a real Siebel style!"

Song Yang looked at Anduran and Stewart, "It's not wrong to pursue speed, but a sports car needs not only speed, but also brand and culture. I don't want the media to comment on the car brand I invested in. , just a follower!"

The speed can be gradually improved, but the brand is set to be a follower of plagiarism from the beginning, and then it can’t be turned over. Just like a mobile phone brand, it chose to take the popular route at the beginning. The shipments won, but as a result, I wanted to upgrade and sell expensive mobile phones, but I couldn't change it for more than ten years, because at the beginning, it had been accepted by the public for its positioning, and when it was expensive, no one bought it!

"You can "invite" some designers from Ferrari, Saab, Porsche, McLaren and other sports car brands to join the Siebel Automobile Club. In addition, I can ask Siebel to reach a cooperation agreement with the Houston Space Center to make it work for Siebel Technology that provides dynamics!"

This is of course just a gimmick. Taking the name of the Houston Space Center to promote the Siebel car, let the Houston Space Center endorse the Siebel car to prove that this car is the fastest in the world. Anyway, the mouth grows on Siebel. How do you want to blow, who can control it?

   "I hope that the next model of Sibel I see is a brand-new concept and sci-fi model!"

"I hope that in the future, Sibel will not only represent the fastest car in the world, but also the most eye-catching model. If there is a chance for mass production, I would like to personally sell Sibel's sports car to people in Silicon Valley!" Song Yang Said to Anduran's group.

Hearing that Song Yang was willing to continue throwing money at them, Anduran breathed a sigh of relief, and Stewart also nodded. He understood that if Song Yang could not be satisfied with the design of the next car, either the Siebel Automobile Club would be finished. It's a calf, or he leaves Sibel himself and comes up with a new chief designer.

   "Song," Seeing Song Yang about to leave, Anduran said hurriedly, "Siebel is going to the modified car show in Las Vegas, do you want to come with me?"

  Anduran wanted to pull Song Yang too. With Song Yang around, Siebel's treatment on SEMA was definitely different, and it attracted more media attention.

Song Yang didn't directly refuse, but he didn't agree either. Next, he still had a lot of things to do, double-click the company to go public, prepare to build a PayPal payment platform, go to Hollywood to start the "Matrix" movie, and Asia for a long time. The trip and so on, a lot of things are waiting for Song Yang to be busy.

   "Look at the time, Gallo represents me!" Song Yang patted Gallo on the shoulder and told the gang of Anduran that Gallo represented Song Yang at the Siebel Auto Club.

   After coming out of the garage and getting into Ulf's car, Song Yang saw the phone and received two calls.

   Iger was the first to call. After the call was connected, Iger immediately said to Song Yang, "Song, the fish has taken the bait. There is news from AOL that Case wants to meet you!"

   America Telecom's acquisition of CompuServe was originally bluffing, and it was AOL that caught the big fish, and now AOL has taken the bait.

   "Of course, America Telecom is willing to talk to any telecom company!" Song Yang said with a smile.

   After thinking about it for a while, Song Yang said, "In a few days, I'm going to New York to attend Yahoo's listing ceremony, and I can meet Casey in New York!"

   The other phone call just now was from Brady from Yahoo. He didn't answer Song Yang and knew why he was calling.

   Yahoo is going to be listed soon. No matter what, Song Yang's Double Click Company is also one of Yahoo's shareholders, so naturally Song Yang will be invited to participate.

Not only Song Yang, but this time Yahoo went public, and one vote of Chinese Americans in America is also a rare show of support. A considerable part of Yahoo's stock in America is bought by those Chinese who have made a name for themselves in America. Gone, this time Yahoo went public, and Silicon Valley companies established by Chinese in America also came to support, including Xie Qing's Feita, this time also received an invitation.

  On the other end of the phone, Iger immediately said, "I'll have someone make arrangements!"

  The acquisition of CompuServe was the first fire that Iger played after taking office. He needed to make this fire burn so that he could do things in Telecom America in the future.

Song Yang rushed over to ICQ's office building, Yahoo went public, and it's only been a month since DoubleClick went public. Although DoubleClick is not as smooth as Yahoo, people have been biting him all the time. The stock was finally sold.

Among them, European and Asian investment companies are still very popular for DoubleClick, the "world's largest Internet advertising company". They bought nearly half of DoubleClick's issued shares, almost on par with local investors in America. This is very rare among the companies listed in the past two years.

However, this also proves that after one or two years of hard work on Wall Street and the powerful media propaganda machine, investors all over the world have begun to pay attention to the frenzy of the American Internet market, and they have begun to believe that this is the new wealth-making machine. .

   Internet companies all over the world have also begun to emerge one after another, all aiming to log on to Nasdaq and get rich overnight.

  Song Yang feels that if the Internet continues to be frenzied, Wall Street will be able to attract all the leeks from all over the world to Nasdaq, and then they will be cut off in a few years.
