Back To 1995

   Chapter 21 Recruiting

After    came out of the TV station, Song Yang and Gleek rushed towards the bank they had reserved.

   In the bank, Song Yang first realized the benefits of being famous. The bank is the most realistic place. As long as you have money, you can get all kinds of super-standard treatment here that the outside world can't imagine.

  Song Yang and Greck first tentatively came to the location of Morgan Bank, the largest bank in Houston.

  Morgan Bank, even though there were some doubts about the value of Double Click Advertising Company's mortgage assets, it still sent a senior manager to receive Song Yang and gave him high-level VIP treatment.

However, Morgan Bank is willing to lend to Double-click Advertising Company, but the amount is not high. It is only willing to lend to Double-click Advertising Company for a loan of less than $800,000, and it also needs to mortgage nearly half of the equity of Double-click Advertising Company, and the interest rate It is also a bit high. Morgan Bank obviously still has some doubts about investing in the Internet industry.

Then Song Yang came to Western Union Bank, First Commonwealth Bank, First Empire Bank, and Texas-based local bank Comerica. Compared with Morgan Bank, these banks' attitude toward Double-click Advertising Company Much better, especially Comerica Bank.

   After coming out of several other banks, Song Yang and Greke came to the Comerica Bank. As soon as they entered, they met a middle-aged man in his forties who was already waiting in the bank lobby.

   As soon as he saw Song Yang and the two of them, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he immediately brought someone up to greet him, "Welcome the tech heroes from Houston to Comerica Bank!"

   The middle-aged man came to Song Yang and said to Song Yang, "I just saw a wonderful interview on TV. I have already seen a new technology star in Houston, rising from the space city!"

"Chris Jain, you can call me Jain, the credit manager of Comerica Houston Bank!" Jain handed the two business cards to Song Yang and Greg respectively. Compared with other banks, Jain needed It was much more enthusiastic, and it was a compliment when it came up, which was louder than the cowhide that Song Yang boasted on TV.

   "Thank you!"

After    came to the conference room, Song Yang said to Jia En after taking the coffee brought by Jia En's pretty female assistant.

   After Song Yang and Gleek looked at each other, Gleick spoke first on behalf of Double Click Advertising Company, "Manager Jia En, Double Click Advertising Company needs to apply for a loan to the Bank of Comerica!"

  Jian clapped his hands and clapped a few times, "Comerica Bank is also willing to cooperate with Double Click Advertising Company, such a "potential" company!"

   Song Yang and Gleek looked at each other a few times. Jia En should say that among the banks they met today, they had the best attitude towards Double Click Advertising.

   But when things go wrong, there must be demons. Jia En's enthusiasm seems to be a bit too much. Banks are not a place for charity. Instead, it makes Greg's heart rise, and he uses his eyes to signal Song Yang not to talk indiscriminately.

   "Bank of Comerica, how much money are you willing to provide for Double Click Advertising?" Gleek asked Jain.

  Jian did not look at Greg, but at Song Yang, "One million dollars!"

   "Two million!" Song Yang said at this time.

When   Jian heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing a few times, "You can listen to my conditions first. I think Comerica Bank, the Houston Credit Department, is the most friendly bank in this area for Double Click Advertising!"

   "1.5 million credit funds, a two-month interest-free period, and only need to mortgage 20% of the equity of Double Click Advertising!" Jia En said to Song Yang.

   Are such harsh conditions? To be honest, they are already very generous. In the early days of Internet and technology companies, why didn’t they ask banks to borrow money, not because they didn’t want to borrow money, but because banks were unwilling to give money at all, and the risk was too great.

Double-click advertising company is now also relying on the spring breeze of digital advertising, and the support of Netscape, the bank is willing to tentatively throw a sum of money to double-click advertising company, in fact, throw it out, and never think about taking it back, after all, every day There are countless new companies in America. How many of these companies will survive to their second year?

   So the conditions proposed by Jain are already very kind compared to the other banks.

   "What does Manager Jain want?" Born in America, what Greg didn't believe was that pie would fall from the sky.

  Jian laughed and then pointed directly to Song Yang!

   "Funds can be loaned to Double Click Advertising Company. As long as I am still in the position of the Credit Department of Comerica Bank in Houston, Comerica can cooperate with Double Click Advertising Company in the future!"

  Jia En looked at Song Yang and said, "But I hope Song, you can become a customer of "me" in the future. Of course, the capital turnover of Double Click Advertising Company and other partner companies can also be done in the bank where "me" is located."

  Song Yang heard the overtones of Jia En, making Song Yang a customer of "his", not Comerica Bank!

That is, Jia En invested in Song Yang himself this time. He bet that Song Yang could grow up in the future, not to mention becoming the richest man like Bill Gates. Business is a huge help.

   Even further, if Song Yang can break through the ceiling and reach the level of a billionaire, then with such a character supporter, Jia En may even be transferred back to the headquarters of Comerica Bank.

  America has gathered more than half of the rich people in the world, but how many billionaires are there? Every billionaire has a huge influence, and getting the support of such a person is enough to accomplish a lot of things.

  Greck really didn't expect that Jia En actually wanted to invest in Song Yang. Although it was a fake public benefit, he was willing to take risks on Song Yang, which was enough to show that he valued Song Yang.

Song Yang saw Greg nodding, and then said to Jia En, "Of course there is no problem, I am willing to cooperate with Manager Jia En. Double-click advertising company's capital turnover can also be done through Manager Jia En and the bank where he works, but the partners , Double-click advertising company is really powerless!"

  Whether it is Netscape now or Yahoo in the future, there are a lot of forces behind it. Song Yang has no ability, so Netscape and Yahoo have to put their money in the bank where Jaen is.

  Jian thought about it for a while, and knew that it would be hard for a strongman to let Song Yang interfere with the finances of a company like Netscape, which is valued at over one billion dollars.

   "Happy cooperation!" Jia En stretched out his hand and said to Song Yang.

   After Song Yang and Gleek left, the female secretary who delivered the coffee immediately stuck to Jia En, and a pair of dogs and men immediately became entangled.

   "Are you really optimistic about that Song?" The female secretary lit a cigarette, took a puff, and gave it to Jia En. She has never seen him, the credit manager of the credit department, who has ever valued him so much.

No matter which bank you are in, the credit department is always a fat man. The credit department decides who to give or not, how much to give, and when to take it back. Jia En is not a kind person. The company still has those borrowing money, not one or two.

Glancing at the female assistant in front of him, Jia En said, "Now Silicon Valley and Wall Street are touting the Internet industry, maybe there will be several tens of millions and billionaires in this industry, and now Song, it looks better than The chances of picking up other people are much greater!"

  Jian is gambling. It's okay to lose the bet. If he wins the bet, he can earn a lot more than Comerica Bank. In this case, he must bet.

   Getting the money, Song Yang and Greg were both relieved, especially Song Yang, who had been tense all the time, finally felt that he could take a breath.

  Greck bought some drinks and came to the garage with Song Yang. Seeing the garage, Gleick was overwhelmed with emotion for a while.

   Looking back at Song Yang, the cheap uncle Gleick was silent for a while. In just a few days, Gleick felt and Song Yang's identity had undergone subtle changes.

   Whether in a law firm or a bank, Gleek’s situation has changed because of the emergence of Double Click Advertising.

Regarding Song Yang, Gleek's mentality is still changing. In addition to the kinship maintained by blood, it has become a little more special. Before Song Yang, Gleick was more of an elder's mentality, but now, Unconsciously, Greck began to consider Song Yang's attitude.

  Song Yang didn't think so much. He looked up and saw Greg who was standing there in a daze. He pulled him to sit on the reclining chair and gave him a bottle of wine.

   The wine bottle in Song Yang's hand touched Greg, "Uncle Greg, double click on the matter of the advertising agency, I need your help!"

  Grek came back to his senses and took a sip of his drink. Although the day is a bit busy now, it is more useful to Gleek than the same day.

   "What are you going to do, Comerica's funds can't sustain Double Click Advertising for how long!"

Greck asked Song Yang, the next DoubleClick advertising company must be recruiting, renting offices, recruiting people, especially the bulls who have blown away with Netscape, DoubleClick advertising company must work hard to attract advertisers, all these need No one can tell when the double-click advertising company will be profitable.

  Song Yang was lying on a chair, looking at the humble garage. In a few days, he will probably move out of here.

   "Double-click advertising company definitely needs investment, but you need to find the most suitable sponsor!"

   Song Yang had rejected many investment calls that he wanted to make Qiufeng, but this did not mean that Song Yang was not ready to raise funds, but wanted to find a big money owner who was most suitable for Double Click Advertising.

  Greck wanted to say more, but when he turned around, he saw that Song Yang had already fallen asleep, Glick shook his head, got up and started to deal with the matter.

  Song Yang's interview in Houston was reprinted and broadcast by CBS, and later caused some waves in the core industry, especially those names Song Yang mentioned in the interview.

"I like Song very much. He is a real genius. He opened the curtain of a new generation of the Internet!" Tristan, who was praised by Song Yang in the interview, turned around and reciprocated, and praised him fiercely. Song Yang.
