Back To 1995

   Chapter 368 The Arrow is on the String

  Gallo and Evan Spiegel are both masters in party creatures. Today's celebration cocktail party was created by them, and the drinks flowed through it, such as small models and celebrities.

  Addison and Kravis used to be elite figures in suits and ties in front of the camera, but at this time they also put down their guard and revelled at this party. People on Wall Street were having fun, but they spent a lot!

For Edison, Kravis and others, this time, it is natural to make crazy money. The Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, which was only established last year, has made such a big move this year. The Deutsche Bank headquarters in Frankfurt is all about Edison. After calling and giving him more authority, the Deutsche Bank Investment Bank established by Edison was indeed beyond the expectations of Deutsche Bank headquarters.

   Evan Spiegel, who has always been ignorant, holds a bottle of wine and confronts people everywhere. Today is also a carnival day for him.

When the double-click stock price was four dollars, Evan Spiegel used one million dollars to buy 250,000 double-click stocks, and before the stock price peaked, Evan Spiegel had already sold all of them, This double-click stock of 250,000 brought Spiegel a worth of 37 million US dollars!

   Thinking back to last year, Song Yang established Double-click Company. In order to get the first venture capital, he struggled for a long time. He flew all over America and sent business cards everywhere to ask for a meeting, so he brought the first venture capital for Double-click.

And Evan Spiegel is now worth more than ten million dollars, which is why so many people have to squeeze into the circle if they break their heads, even if they are just a follower, as long as they get some wind in advance , I can't say it can make a lot of money!

   Song Yang raised his glass, and after having a few drinks with Addison, Kravis, and others, he stood aside and chatted with Marcus in a low voice.

   "The fundraising fee has been given in full."

Marcus said to Song Yang that he is a veteran in this field. Now he is not only in charge of Song Yang and the Americas Global Investment Fund, but also through the Bruno Family Foundation, etc., to raise funds for the American Congressmen, etc. Responsible.

  Song Yang nodded, this time it seemed that he made a lot of money, but there were also a lot of people who needed to be managed, but these were necessary.

   "What about Carl Icahn?" At this time, Greck, Whitman and the others also raised their glasses to Song Yang's side.

Whitman looked at Song Yang and asked how to deal with Carl Icahn, the hungry wolf. Carl Icahn is not shorting DoubleClick, but he keeps buying DoubleClick stock and wants to join DoubleClick's board of directors, no one can guess. What the **** did he want to do, but if a hungry wolf came into his house, he would probably be worried.

   "Don't worry about him for now, double-click The most important thing now is to stabilize!" Song Yang said while looking at the people beside him.

Just experienced the double-click of the huge earthquake, it is really not suitable to experience another turmoil, and an old fox like Carl Icahn is not comparable to someone like Creamer. If you start with Carl Icahn immediately, I am afraid that double-click I can't stand it anymore.

  Double-click the stock price. After more than two weeks of intense fluctuations, the trading volume began to drop sharply. Obviously, Wall Street institutions have begun to leave the market, and the stock price has also begun to fluctuate between $40 and $50.

The changes brought about by the double-click stock price surge, that is, the Internet concept stocks on the Nasdaq, collectively began a round of skyrocketing. There is a double-click precedent before, creating a miracle of a market value of 20 billion US dollars, Yahoo and other Internet companies, What happened to the stock price?

  Double-click on the company's side, but instead started to quiet down, not wanting to be the focus of the market all the time, and being stared at at every move.

Now that the double-click thing has been dealt with, Song Yang has already dealt with it. He killed the short-selling hedge funds, solved the huge fine for false advertisements that shrouded Double-click, and the class action and anti-monopoly lawsuit against Double-click are also all Double-click has the upper hand, and once the two lawsuits are over, there are basically no threats to double-click the gate of life!

But Song Yang now has a lot of opponents, Ella Cherry, Edward Winslow, and the veteran Anglo-Saxons behind him, Wall Street institutions who have been cut twice, etc. Mingli There are many secret opponents now.

But this is unavoidable. In America, it is not a charity field. There will always be hungry wolves. They regard the newly-started upstarts as big fat sheep and want to take a bite, and if they don’t want to be swallowed, Then you can only kill each other!

   "The Diablo expansion is currently under production, and it will be launched immediately after completion!"

In the ICQ office building, one of the most important things for ICQ now is to release Blizzard's new game "Diablo". ICQ spent hundreds of millions of dollars to set up the game department. Walk to know.

   Whether the game business can support ICQ's valuation and realize the traffic in ICQ's hands can be seen this time.

More importantly, Irene and other executives all know that Song Yang, General Electric's head candidate Immelt, Comcast's young boss Brian Roberts, and others are promoting an unprecedented campaign. merge.

This requires ICQ's bubbles to keep blowing up, so that all investors can "see" that ICQ is a money printing machine in the future. Comcast Networks Merged!

   "Xue Leshan has already contacted game publishers and distribution channels. Diablo will be released simultaneously in 15 regions around the world. We are currently talking with Sony, Nintendo, and Sega for three major game console platforms!"

   Ken Williams and the Robert couple, who were in charge of Xue Leshan, also said to Song Yang and Irene in the office at this time.

   This is the first time they have released a game on a large scale since they returned to Snow Mountain, so naturally they dare not take it lightly.

   "Xue Leshan online game platform, how are the preparations now?" Song Yang asked.

  Blizzard's "Diablo" this time can be described as a heavy responsibility, given high expectations, and also acted as a task of bringing goods. With the help of "Diablo", the online platform of Xue Leshan game was promoted.

   When Ken Williams heard this, he could clearly feel that Song Yang attached great importance to Xue Leshan's game platform, even more than Sony's game console platform and game distributors.

   Hesitating for a moment, Ken Williams said, "The Snow Mountain online game platform is currently nearing completion and can support Diablo multiplayer online games, but..."

   "Due to the copyright of the game, even Xueleshan implements the "Dawning" plan, supports small and medium game developers, develops games for Xueleshan, provides game engines to game developers for free, and enters the Xueleshan platform.

But it will take a year or two to see the effect. In the short term, if Snow Mountain Online is launched, I am afraid that it will need to purchase game copyrights from other game manufacturers to fill the game copyright library of Snow Mountain Online. The game copyright library in Leshan's hands cannot be compared with the three major game consoles at all! "

Ken Williams said a little helplessly, why the three major game console platforms of Sony, Nintendo, and Sega have remained standing for so many years, in addition to the so-called product technology and game development level, they hold a large number of game copyrights in their hands , if you want to play more games, you have to buy their consoles.

Xue Leshan online platform, once launched, began to promote and attract more players to enter, it is impossible to have only a few games. After all, players in the game industry have different tastes. If there is no strong game copyright library, provide More games are given to players, and I am afraid that the users who have worked so hard will continue to lose.

   "Xue Leshan is online, it must be launched on schedule, no matter how much the game copyright library is!"

  Song Yang said without any leeway, regardless of the game copyright library or other, Xue Leshan Online will be launched soon.

"Game copyright, you can talk to other game manufacturers, and Xue Leshan can give cooperative game manufacturers more game shares. I need to make Xue Leshan online and become synonymous with the era of PC games, and make it become the desktop of countless computer users. , a must-have product!"

Song Yang looked around the crowd and said the requirements for the Xueleshan online platform, not to be a substitute for the three major consoles, or to occupy the PC computer game market, as long as you turn on the computer to play games, you will think of the Xueleshan online platform. !

  How can traditional console games have anything to do with the Internet, then there is no doubt that they are connected to the Internet. Now is the frenzy period of the Internet. Anything related to the Internet can usher in a skyrocket.

The launch of the Xue Leshan online platform is to make traditional stand-alone games related to the Internet. It doesn't matter whether this game makes money or not, it is enough to have this gimmick. At that time, ICQ will have two concepts of instant messaging and Internet games, and once it goes public , the market value will definitely roll up!

   The entire ICQ and Xue Leshan game departments are in chaos, constantly busy for the release of "Diablo".

After the others in the office left, only Song Yang and Irene were left, Song Yang also relaxed, leaned back on the chair, looked at Irene and said, "Xueleshan Riben Company, how are the preparations going? Like?"

  Xue Leshan's entry into the Japanese benzene billiards market is imperative. Song Yang has already attracted a lot of supporters. The elephant party, even the donkey party, and many congressmen are waiting for a piece of the pie.

Selling dog meat with a sheep’s head, Xue Leshan has to enter the billiards market in Japan, and he has to find a name. It is impossible to rush in and grab the territory. Still have to save some face.

   "Now the Xueleshan Riben Company has been registered and is recruiting management personnel. Now the most important thing is, where should the Xueleshan Riben Company start from the billiard room market?!" Irene said to Song Yang.
