   Chapter 58 Catch the ducks on the shelves

  Enron Company is here to send money to Double-click Company this time. For Enron Company, it is considered to be taking care of it by handing the advertising order to Double-click Company in the same city.

With Enron's current status, every year's advertising is handed over to those big advertising companies. This year, the business is handed over to Double Click Company. This is to tell the locals in Houston that Enron still has a heart for the local company, otherwise, how could this be done? Throwing millions of dollars to Double Click Company...

Song Yang couldn't refuse those who came to send money, otherwise he would fall out with the giant Enron, don't think about it, Song Yang would definitely suffer, especially in Houston and Texas, where tens of thousands of people are relying on the Enron Group. Hundreds of thousands of households use Enron's natural gas, electricity, and water to eat. If they offend Enron, they basically don't want to live in Texas.

   "Let them come over!" Song Yang could only say to Irene.

Song Yang originally thought that the Enron Group would send an executive over. After all, the advertising fee of several million dollars was a lot for Double-click Company, but it was not worth mentioning at all for Anran, and at most it was reselling Two pipes of natural gas.

What Song Yang didn't expect was that this time, Kenneth, the president of Enron Group, who had met once at Adrian's banquet before, came over in person, which made Double-click Company jump for a while. .

   Kenneth now has an identity, but the CEO of the Fortune 500 Group, even if he goes to Wall Street and Capitol Hill, he is treated as a guest, not to mention the double-click company here.

  Kenneth is a big guy. After coming to Double Click Company, he greeted everyone in Double Click Company, and then smiled at Song Yang, "Song, didn't bother you?!"

   "How come, President Kenneth can come, it is the luck of Double Click Company!"

For the current leader of the global energy industry, at least Song Yang does not dare to offend him now, just look at it for a while, and other company personnel working in the Harbour Building have all come down to pay their respects to Kenneth's demeanor , to know how influential Kenneth is.

   Kenneth seemed very interested in Double Click Company, Song Yang had to take him to visit Double Click various departments.

   "This is Double Click's tech department, Houston's best tech team is here!"

After coming to the technical department, Song Yang said to Kenneth, this is not a bragging. There are not many Internet companies in Texas now, and many companies have not yet started computerized office work. Double-click the company is a scorpion. One, no one can oppose it no matter how you blow it.

  Double-click is not a big company, but Kenneth went to each department, even communicated with people in various departments, and sometimes even experienced it himself.

  After meeting Kenneth, Ryan, who is in charge of DoubleClick advertising and business operations, immediately introduced Kenneth about DoubleClick, the most important department at present.

"This should be the largest digital advertising sales department in the Internet industry in America. We have reached cooperation with more than 450 companies, including Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, Xerox and other companies. Now the entire American digital advertising market58 About % of the revenue is born here!"

   When he mentioned this, Ryan couldn't help showing a little smug look. He now has an advertising department, which almost represents the entire digital advertising market in America. Most of the revenue of the entire digital advertising market is contributed from here.

Hearing Ryan's words, Kenneth couldn't help clapping his hands, turned his head and said to Song Yang, "Song, I have to say, this is really a magical place, as long as you sit here, all computer users in America will be able to See your adverts!"

   After Kenneth came to the office, Song Yang pushed a cup of coffee in front of Kenneth, "Thank you to President Kenneth and Enron Group for taking care of Double Click Company!"

  Enron Group handed over the advertising and publicity orders for next year to Double Click Company, and Song Yang naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

   "The Enron Group naturally wants to cooperate with the company in Houston," Kenneth said to Song Yang, "It seems that you are very popular here, Song, and you can keep Jotus coming over!"

  Song Yang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Kenneth to know that Joetus had been here.

   Seeing the startled look on Song Yang's face, Kenneth just smiled faintly, and the boss pointed to the outside, "This is Houston!"

  Song Yang knew it. Now Houston and even Texas don't know how many eyes and ears of the Enron Group. If Kenneth wants to know something here, he may not be able to hide it from him.

   "Jotus is here to discuss some small projects." Song Yang looked at Kenneth and said, there's nothing to hide from Kenneth, it's better to say it directly.

   Hearing Song Yang's words, Kenneth also said, "Double-click the company today, in addition to the advertising order, there is another matter that I want to talk to you about!"

  Song Yang knew that Kenneth was about to get to the point. He really didn't want to listen to what Kenneth said next, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and listen.

   Originally, Kenneth came over today, just to see what the double-click company touted by the media was, but after seeing the double-click company, Kenneth changed his mind.

   "Enron, ready to enter the Internet industry and expand Enron's industry from offline to online!"

Kenneth said that the idea of ​​the "Enron Online" website is to do online energy futures transactions, and put natural gas, electricity and other products on the Internet for futures transactions. Enron Group is ambitious and wants to become the world's largest energy transaction. business.

   Song Yang couldn't help scratching his head when he heard Kenneth's words. Kenneth's meaning was very clear. He wanted to double-click the company and join the Enron Group project.

   "President Kenneth," Song Yang said to Kenneth with deliberation, "Silicon Valley has better technology than DoubleClick, and a more suitable company to cooperate with Enron!"

Kenneth set his eyes on Song Yang, as if he wanted to see through Song Yang. It was the first time that Kenneth met in so many years. But Kenneth couldn't hear the shirk in Song Yang's words.

   narrowed his eyes slightly, Kenneth stared at Song Yang and said, "As I said, Enron wants to cooperate with a local company in Houston. Of course, Song, if you refuse this cooperation, Enron will not force it!"

   Song Yang felt helpless when he heard this, Kenneth put him on fire.

Refused to cooperate with Enron, ignoring the Enron company, if such rumors spread, then Double-click company will become a laughing stock, I will definitely not be able to live in Houston, the whole of America is probably enough, and now no one is willing to offend Enron this behemoth.

   "Who would refuse to cooperate with Enron in the whole of America. If you can make a modest contribution to Enron's projects, Double Click will be happy to help." Song Yang could only say with a smile.

   When Kenneth heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face, "This week, Enron will hold a board-level meeting, and you, Song, will also come to attend!"

   Seeing Kenneth walking away, Song Yang couldn't help sighing, but for those who double clicked the company, hearing that they wanted to cooperate with Enron was a different reaction.

   "Kenneth came to cooperate with us?"

After Kenneth left, Greck hurried in and asked Song Yang. Irene, Ryan and others behind him were all staring at Song Yang. This was the president of America's giant company, who came to cooperate in person. This is unimaginable for them.

  Song Yang nodded, but there was not much joy on his face, "This week, go to Anran headquarters to talk to them!"

   "This is an opportunity for us!" Gleek said.

   It is necessary to know how many companies have gone to great lengths to be associated with those big groups. Those giant companies, if a little bit slips through the cracks of their fingers, are enough for small companies to eat.

Not to mention the cooperation between giants like Enron. If nothing else, no one in Houston and Texas would dare to provoke Double-click companies anymore. As for the banks, they would also be willing to lend large sums of money to companies backed by giants. Layer relationship, can also get more orders, etc. These are the direct benefits of cooperating with giants!

"Maybe!"

Song Yang can't directly refute Gleick. He can't directly say that in a few years, Enron will kill himself. If you say it now, it is estimated that no one will believe it. A giant with more than 100 billion dollars, who would have imagined that this guy with big eyebrows and big eyes, who has a large position in the pension funds of all the states of America, would also collapse his house?

   At the time of Enron's board meeting, Song Yang, Greck and others came to Enron's headquarters.

   I have to say that at this time, Enron was the representative of a giant company. The entire headquarters building was quite luxurious. The fifty-story Enron headquarters, which cost 300 million dollars to build, was a landmark building in Houston and even America.

The luxury of Enron's office is well-known throughout America, not only in Houston, but the London headquarters of Enron's Europe is also under construction. The renovation costs alone have cost £30 million.

Especially when entering the headquarters building, looking at the 10,000-square-meter, huge and luxuriously decorated coffee shop, specially used for leisure and enjoyment by the people of Enron headquarters, Song Yang unconsciously remembered the light of a certain domestic product, specializing in cutting Wall Street. A lucky coffee with leeks.

   The luxurious decoration of the Anran headquarters made Song Yang stunned. Various works of art, wood carvings and other decorations that were worth a lot of money hung on the walls.

It is said that when Enron's headquarters building was decorated, all the flower shops in Houston were sold out. All the flowers in Houston were bought by Enron and stuffed here. Of course, according to rumors, the company responsible for decorating the building was a Enron's board of directors executives and his wife established it together, it is hard to say whether it is true or not...

   After entering the meeting room of Enron headquarters, Song Yang and his party attracted a lot of attention. All Enron directors and shareholders looked at Song Yang curiously.

   "This is Jeff!"

  Seeing Song Yang who came in, Kenneth introduced Enron's second-in-command and his right-hand man, Jeff Skilling, who was in charge of Enron's finances, to Song Yang.

   "Song, I mentioned to you, Houston's tech genius!" Kenneth said to Jeff.
