Back To 1995

  Chapter 460

Evan Spiegel took a glass of wine and came to the banquet, and many people greeted him immediately. For no other reason, it was purely because this guy and Gallo held many events in San Jose. Party, familiar with all the celebrities in San Jose.

When    came to Song Yang, Evan Spiegel saw that Song Yang was talking to a San Jose congressman. Beside the congressman, there was a girl who was looking at Song Yang with resentment.

Evan Spiegel smiled at the girl. The girl was Song Yang's classmate Bellia at San Jose University. After seeing Evan, Bellia glanced at him and ignored Evan at all, neither did Evan. Annoyed, he knew Belia's character, but he always wanted to do something with Song Yang, but Song Yang always kept a distance from Belia.

   "Today, Bill 230 will be voted on Capitol Hill, should it be passed?!"

   The person who spoke was Bellia's father, Jonny Monhe, a veteran congressman in San Jose, who was also predicted to be the next helm of San Jose.

   Jonny Monhe's hair has been gray, and Bellia is his old woman, and she has always been very fond of Bellia.

This is also Song Yang's suggestion to Belia, he turned a blind eye and kept a distance from Belia. Jonny Monhe would not refuse Song Yang to associate with Belia, but obviously asked the two to go further. Not just dating.

Song Yang didn't want to have any conflict with Jonny Monhe because of Bellia, so even if Bellia was a little cream cake, Song Yang still stayed away, and he would continue to stay in San Jose for many years. I don't want to be a deadly enemy with such local snakes as Jonny Monhe because of these things.

Evan Spiegel heard what Song Yang and Jonny said, and then he knew that today was the day when Bill 230 was voted on on Capitol Hill. Seeing the crowd at the party, they were obviously ready to celebrate. No one would think that this The bill proposed by Song Yang and proposed to Capitol Hill by the Internet Society of America will be rejected.

   "The stone has not fallen, and no one knows where it will hit. However, many members of Congress on Capitol Hill hope that this bill will be passed!"

Song Yang was still very humble. He mentioned it to Jonny Monhe, not sure if Bill 230 would be passed, but the Internet Society of America has been doing PR for so long. As long as this matter is brought up on Capitol Hill, then Basically, it is a certainty. It is not impossible for an accident to happen, but the probability is very small. Unless there is a Congressman on Capitol Hill, it will be difficult for the entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street!

  Evan Spiegel leaned close to Song Yang's ear and whispered again about Kalanick and Scour.

   After listening to Song Yang, he nodded towards Evan, but simply replied, "I see!"

  Song Yang asked the North American Global Investment Foundation to register a shell foundation overseas to invest in Kalanick, which is to use Scour as cannon fodder to launch a charge against Hollywood giants.

  The matter of investing in Scour should not be related to Calcatel mobile phone, otherwise, I am afraid it will be unclear, but Song Yang is not the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges.

When Scour is sued by a group of Hollywood giants in federal court, Song Yang will not be able to manage Scour, but Song Yang will keep Kalanick from going to federal prison, and will continue to invest in him in the future. A company like Kalanick will never stop even if he is beaten badly.

The    banquet was staggered, waiting for news from Capitol Hill. For Song Yang, this bill may represent power, and Song Yang's influence in the Internet industry will reach a new level.

   And the whole Silicon Valley and Wall Street are also looking forward to it. Once this bill is passed, it will be quite an Internet platform company. With a gold medal, a giant company will be born.

  Wall Street will also celebrate, as soon as Bill 230 is passed, the Internet stock price will skyrocket, especially for portals such as Yahoo, Lycos, and AOL, the last shackles are really lifted!

When there was a commotion, Ertien hurried to the banquet. When they saw Ertien, many people at the party nodded to Ertien, the most recent man in San Jose, or voted for him. Friendly eyes, and Jonny Monhe is no exception.

Now the media are starting to tout Alcatel mobile phones as technology giants on the same level as Nokia and Motorola. Think of Motorola's revenue, market value, local jobs, taxes, etc., and you can think of it. Now the local area in San Jose Municipality's attitude towards Alcatel phones.

   Jonny Monge and the others also need support. No matter who becomes the mayor of San Jose, they cannot refuse the jobs and taxes brought by Alcatel mobile phones.

   "Mr. Song and Jonny, something has been delayed for a while!" Eltien raised a glass of wine and said apologetically to Song Yang, Jonny Monhe and others.

Seeing Ertien, who attracted the attention of the audience as soon as she came in, Irene twitched the corner of her mouth slightly. Although they were all in the same family, and they were all industries in Song Yang's hands, ICQ has always been very popular and is considered to be Song Yang. One of the most valuable industries in Yang's hands.

At least compared to the American Telecom, which has been used to cash out and cut leeks before, and the double-click company that has been riddled with lawsuits, ICQ seems to have unlimited potential. Soaring all the way.

But in just a few months, the situation changed suddenly. The Alcatel mobile phone, which was not taken seriously at all, can't be said to be a second room. It is simply a little transparent without a name. Value, fame and fortune are all focused on the Alcatel mobile phone, which can be seen from the title of Song Yang recently called by the media, the founder of ICQ, and the investor of the new Alcatel mobile phone!

   For Alcatel mobile phones, there is nothing to be jealous of, but for Irene, it is somewhat disappointing.

   After taking a few glances at Eltien, Erin turned to Wesley and said, "ICQ should probably speed up!"

Erin and Wesley are both ICQ co-presidents now, but Wesley is mainly in charge of technology, with the title "Father of Instant Messaging", responsible for updating ICQ software and developing new technologies, while Erin is in charge of the entire system. ICQ's affairs.

   When Wesley heard Erin's words, of course he understood what she was talking about. The ICQ merger was certainly not a secret to someone of Wesley's level.

   Wesley did not refuse the merger of ICQ with America Telecom, ICNC Television, NBC Group, and Comcast Television Network. Even if he refused, it would be useless. This was Song Yang's decision.

But Wesley still felt that it was too hasty. Wesley looked at Song Yang who was toasting with Jonny and others at the party, and whispered to Irene, "ICQ is just an Internet company now, and its income is very high. Unstable, no understanding of operating traditional media at all..."

Wesley wants to wait a few more years, wait until ICQ's profits catch up, and then start the merger. At that time, he will have the energy to digest industries such as telecommunications and TV networks. Otherwise, ICQ may be swallowed up after the merger begins. that one!

  Irene took a sip of brandy, the spicy drink stimulated her nerves and made Irene's mind active.

   "Now is the best opportunity for Internet companies. No one knows how long this Internet wave will last. After the merger, who will become the president of the new company is uncertain!"

Irene has a strange look in her eyes. Compared with the market value of ICQ after the listing, it may be tens of billions of dollars. Irene wants to be the one after the merger, with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, or even 200 billion dollars. The heads of companies with a market value above the knife stand in the same position as General Electric President Welch, IBM President Gerstner, Bill Gates and others!

   Looking at Irene, Wesley's scalp is numb, and being able to become the co-president of ICQ is already a career ceiling for Wesley. No matter how high the position, Wesley never dared to think about it.

   At this time, the lights in the hall of the villa turned on, and the panda TV hanging on the wall began to light up. The banquet began to quiet down, and everyone's eyes turned to the TV.

   "There is news from Microsoft that Microsoft has disbanded the CE handheld system team and started to develop a new WP mobile operating system!"

   Standing beside Song Yang, Eltien whispered to Song Yang with a little worry, it was hard not to notice such a big movement from Microsoft.

  Microsoft is now a behemoth to all opponents. As long as it is targeted by this behemoth, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the end.

   "I believe that Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson mobile phone brands will choose Symbian between Symbian and WP system, even if they quit Symbian system, they will not choose WP!"

Song Yang turned his head and said to Ertian with a smile, sometimes reputation is really a good thing, but unfortunately Microsoft doesn't have it. Microsoft's domineering in the PC industry is seen by all companies. Microsoft's system is a fee. Many PC computer manufacturers do not know whether they make money from selling the machine, but the money they should pay to Microsoft is not less than a cent!

   Manufacturers in the mobile phone industry will not tolerate paying WP unless they are really willing to act as a blood pier for Microsoft and let Microsoft keep pumping.

In the PC era, Microsoft is indeed unfavorable everywhere, but in the Internet and mobile phone industries, there should be no too many snarky operations. The mobile phone system charges, differentiates between mobile phone manufacturers, and insists that software developers use their own C language to develop, and the machine subsystem cannot be upgraded. Wait, these problems are too many. To put it bluntly, Microsoft still uses the arrogant mentality in the PC industry, and it is strange that it does not fall into the Internet and mobile phone industries.

  Song Yang is not too worried about Microsoft's entry into the mobile phone system. He relies on his peers to set off, and does not need the Saipan system. He can show the performance of the gods, and the WP system might kill himself...

The   Panda TV was turned on, and after switching to ICNC TV, there was an immediate report on Bill 230.
