Back To 1995

   Chapter 248 Mount Tai collapsed in front of him but his color remained unchanged

Song Yang, who was having a meal, picked up the remote control at random and switched to several local TV stations in New York, basically discussing the same topic. In New York, the world's Vanity Fair center, wealth, worth, and gossip are eternal. topic.

   However, in addition to the media discussion, it was not that there were no other voices. Almost immediately after the publication of Song Yang's worth ranking in Business Week, someone jumped out.

   "According to relevant news, the United States Federal Revenue Service has issued a statement that someone has reported tax issues to Bruno Song, and the Federal Tax Service and the Houston Revenue Department will launch a joint investigation of Bruno Song!"

   As soon as he changed to another channel, he heard the report on the TV station, and Gallo, who was sitting beside Song Yang, couldn't help but scolded the TV.

If you want to be guilty, there is no need to worry. A so-called whistleblower can get the tax agency to act so quickly. It will be **** if no one is behind it. Taxation is a sensitive issue in America, once it gets involved If you go up, you will be bitten by the mad dogs of the federal taxation department, and you will have to peel off the skin if you don't die. This time, someone obviously wants Song Yang to fall.

  Song Yang didn't have many surprises, he just ate something and looked at the TV from time to time.

   Not only the tax issue, but the Trade Commission also stood up again and announced that it would investigate the restructuring of America Telecom, obviously for the huge dividend.

   However, Song Yang doesn't care much about these things. He can't do anything about Double-click, America Telecom, etc. on the front. Using taxation, investigation and reorganization of dividends, etc., is at best a disgusting person.

   But these are just means. Song Yang paid special attention to tax issues from the very beginning. After inviting Marcus, he sorted out all the taxes.

   As for the reorganization of Cha-America Telecom, as well as dividends, Song Yang doesn't care anymore. There are many people on Wall Street who play too much with him.

And participating in the reorganization of Inter-American Telecom, involving many giants such as Telephone and Telegraph Group, Enron Corporation, and Bank of Comerica, Ella Cherry is crazy, but the people from the Trade Commission will definitely not accompany her crazy, Deimos Maurice certainly wouldn't do such a heartless thing!

After eating, Song Yang threw the remote control aside and walked outside. Not far from the resort was Lake Champlain. At this moment, in the center of Lake Champlain, there were many boats rowing by, and there were even more gatherings around the lake. Lots of fishermen.

   One of them is Whitman. At this moment, Whitman is just like those fishing around, looking at the lake with a focused expression, but after a long time, there are still only two small fish the size of a slap in the net.

With Whitman, as well as Kavy Lyman and several executives of the Double-click company, it's all good and the bottom is good, and America is no exception. Knowing that Whitman likes fishing, Double-click Among the company's executives, there are not many people who fish.

Song Yang sat down on the reclining chair beside Whitman and threw the fishing line. Do not change the level of color!

Seeing Song Yang coming over, Whitman put down the fishing rod with some regret. She came here early this morning. As the most famous bass fishing resort in America, Whitman is still a little disadvantaged here. So far, I have caught a few slap-sized fish, which fully proves that horizontal dishes have nothing to do with fish.

   "Double-click here, you've worked hard!" Song Yang leaned on the reclining chair and poured Whitman a glass of red wine.

When   Whitman was hired, he was responsible for the listing of Double-click the company. Although there were waves, these accidents were not caused by Whitman. Overall, Whitman was definitely qualified.

   Whitman also knows that the situation of Double-click company is not very good now. Compared with other Internet concept stocks whose market value and stock price are often doubled, Double-click is really a bit miserable.

   shook his head, Whitman said with a little regret, "Actually, if you give the double-click a little more time, it will definitely be much better than the current performance!"

If it weren't for those idiots, DoubleClick would definitely be the most important existence in the Internet industry this year, and I'm afraid it would be much more sought after than Yahoo. After all, DoubleClick is much more profitable than Yahoo. It is the Internet industry, except for Netscape. In addition, the only Internet company that can barely break even.

   "Now is not the time to care about the double-click stock price. When those troubles are resolved, it is time to raise the double-click stock price!"

Now there are still a bunch of small Wall Street investment banks that have been trying to short Double-click companies, including people from Ella Cherry, and small investment banks that were kicked out of Chicago Futures Trading by America Telecom, all of them ran over to block Double-click. Concocted a crisis report of "Double-click delisting", thinking that Double-click Company was used by Song Yang to make money, and it would not be long before Double-click would be delisted!

Song Yang naturally doesn't like these short sellers. It's just that he hasn't come to clean them up yet. When the double-click lawsuits are over and the double-click can raise the stock price, Song Yang has to come to the dry land to pull the green onions and turn the double-click's stock price up within a day. Several times, let those short sellers spit out all the money they eat!

   "Whitman, no matter what the double-click stock price is, what should be done is still done!"

   Song Yang said to Whitman that he had talked to Whitman when he was looking for him to be the president of Double-Click, and he would start the transformation as soon as Double-Click went public.

  People without far-sightedness will have immediate worries, and the same is true for Double-click Company. Now Double-click Company basically does what middlemen do to make the difference, and put the incoming advertisements on major websites.

But this kind of gameplay cannot continue forever. When Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL and other companies all set up their own advertising departments, bypassing the double-click company and pulling advertisements by themselves, for the double-click company, it is equivalent to being attacked by the Internet. Big companies abandoned.

There are already signs of this. Yahoo, Netscape, Microsoft, SUN, AOL and other companies are secretly establishing their own advertising and investment departments. Now they dare not turn against Double-click, but it will not be in a year or two. .

   While Double-click has just been listed and has funds in hand, it must be transformed. At least a few more businesses will be pulled so that it will not lose too much in the future.

   Whitman nodded, "After returning to Houston, I will immediately arrange to double-click and launch the acquisition of several Internet research companies such as MediaMetrix and NetRating!"

   From the advertising industry to the data research industry, it is a logical thing for Double Click, which is also a goal set as early as last year.

   "Not only NetRating several Internet survey companies, but when the time is right, Nielsen can be acquired and merged!"

  Song Yang said to Whitman that in the craziest era of the Internet, it is not uncommon for snakes to swallow elephants, and if DoubleClick can acquire Nielsen and sit on the throne of the world's largest data research organization, it is not impossible.

   "Apart from the double-click thing," Song Yang said leaning against Whitman, "there are other things that need to be done by you!"

Whitman looked at Song Yang suspiciously. He didn't know what Song Yang meant. Once he double-clicked and entered the research market, it would be equivalent to a two-front battle. Whitman was busy enough. let her do.

  Song Yang glanced at Gallo, who was holding a fishing rod and picking around in the lake. The latter took out a document, and Song Yang pushed the document in front of Whitman.

  Whitman opened the document and looked at the document. It was a company's information, "Ebay?"

  Song Yang nodded, "I'm going to let the Americas Global Investment Association invest in eBay. I hope that, like Double Click, you can manage eBay and lead it to market!"

  Double-click Now it doesn't mean that Whitman is not needed anymore. For some acquisitions and the like, Whitman is definitely needed, but Song Yang hopes that Whitman, a full-scale account, can lead the Ebay listing again!

  Whitman looked at the information in his hand, and couldn't help thinking for a while. The total number of people on Ebay is less than a few dozen, which is completely incomparable to double-click.

   But Song Yang wanted to invest in this e-commerce company and wanted Whitman to be the president of this small store business company, so Whitman couldn't help but think.

This Ebay is no different. The already well-known Double-click company has just started. Being the president of this company will definitely involve more energy from Whitman. For double-click company control.

Song Yang also did not urge Whitman. After investing in Ebay, he made Whitman the president. He borrowed more of Whitman's experience and ability, but it was not impossible for Whitman. After taking over Ebay, Whitman would definitely be better than him. Busier now, more energy to be involved.

   But once Ebay goes public, what it will bring to Whitman is far more than Double-click, leading two companies to go public in a row. Whitman will also become a legend, not to mention his worth and influence.

   "I can try, but I can't guarantee, I'm not familiar with the e-commerce industry!" After thinking for a while, Whitman finally made up his mind.

  Song Yang nodded. There is Whitman willing to be the president of Ebay, a listed president of Nasdaq, and willing to lead a small Internet company. For Ebay, this condition is absolutely impossible to refuse.

  After the Double-click company went public, Song Yang stayed at the resort hotel in Lake Champlain for two days before heading to Los Angeles to visit the Hollywood filming base with Jenny.

   Later, news came out that Song Yang was approaching Hollywood film and television companies and was going to invest heavily to shoot an epic big-budget movie related to "Internet culture"!

The news of Song Yang's arrival in Hollywood has attracted the interest of countless Hollywood gossip magazines and media, but surprisingly, when they heard the news that Song Yang was going to spend money in Hollywood to make a movie, all the media did not scold them. It seems that this is normal. Same.
