Back To 1995: Chapter 12 caller
Chapter 12 The Trumpeter
Greck held a glass of wine and pointed down towards Song Yang, indicating that he still needs to entertain the people below, so that Song Yang should hurry up.
"I need some more money now!"
Seeing Greg's frowning, Song Yang hurriedly said, "Now the double-click advertising company has reached the most important step. I need to find a partner for the double-click advertising company!"
"After this time, IBM, Intel, Telephone and Telegraph, Procter & Gamble, Volvo, Compaq Computer, and of course Los Angeles Insurance Company will all become partners of Double-Click Advertising Company!" Song Yang said to Greg, pointing his fingers. Anyway, it's time to blow the cowhide, whether Greg believes it or not.
"Telephone and Telegraph Company?!"
Greg doesn't know whether he drank too much or he heard it wrong. Song Yang really dared to brag. If he said to try his luck with a local company in Houston, Greg might really believe it.
However, when he went to cooperate with such giants as Telephone and Telegraph Group and IBM in America, which were also behemoths in their respective fields, Gleick couldn't believe it.
Greck took a sip of his wine and couldn't help laughing, "Do you think the Telephone and Telegraph Company will cooperate with the Double-Click Company?"
It’s not that Greg doesn’t want to believe it, but that it’s the double-click advertising company in the broken garage. He never imagined that it can be connected with the high-end telephone and telegraph company. The contrast is too great.
"There is a saying in Huaguo called borrowing the wind, not only the double-click advertising company wants to cooperate with the telephone and telegraph company, but other companies also want this cooperation!"
Hearing Song Yang quote famous oriental quotes, Greg looked suspiciously at Song Yang, making Song Yang feel a little uncomfortable.
Greck didn't know whether Song Yang learned this by himself, or Song Yang and his old man taught him in a dream. Although Gerek felt it was impossible, oriental witchcraft was still very bluffing.
Grek thought for a while, and finally sighed, "Are you sure you want the last money?"
The last sum of money was not only the money left by Song Yang’s parents, but also part of it was prepared by Greg for Song Yang to go to college, even if he went to a community college, it would be better if he was KFC.
Song Yang nodded seriously. Now for Song Yang, it was just a step in the door. Although he didn't know what was behind the door, Song Yang was really not reconciled if he didn't kick the door open.
Seeing that Song Yang had made up his mind, Gelek took out the money, looked at Song Yang for a few times, pushed the envelope in front of Song Yang, then turned and went downstairs.
Song Yang was at Greg's house, made a phone call, and after eating something to fill his stomach, a car stopped at the door after he went out.
"Are you going to San Francisco now?" Gallo, who was hanging out with Haili in the small apartment, received a call from Song Yang, who actually wanted to go to San Francisco in the middle of the night.
Song Yang asked Gallo to drive to the airport, "Drive, I need to arrive in San Francisco by tomorrow morning!"
This decision was also beyond Gallo’s expectations. He didn’t expect Song Yang to go to San Francisco. “Why go to San Francisco? I think New York or Los Angeles are better. If I go to these two places, I’m more than happy to help…”
"You want to go to the nightclubs in these two places!" Song Yang mercilessly exposed Gallo's little thoughts. The only thing Gallo can remember about these two places is nightclubs and crazy parties.
Gallo, who was exposed by Song Yang, didn't blush at all, and whistled, "Song, I remember going to these two places for parties, but you said so!"
Song Yang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help rubbing his cheeks. He didn't know what the original guy had said to Gallo.
After arriving at the airport, Song Yang didn't let Gallo continue to follow, "You help me keep an eye on Jayden and let him complete the development as soon as possible!"
After buying a United Airlines ticket, Song Yang boarded the plane directly. As for the first-class treatment, don’t think about it. As for the flight attendants, I guess people who are used to domestic airlines will see foreign flight attendants. Another feeling.
After bumping for nearly four hours, Song Yang finally returned to the ground again, and found a motel at random. Song Yang took a short rest, changed into a formal suit he got from Gallo, and punched a stick crookedly. After putting on a tie, making himself look more mature, he rushed to Third Avenue in San Francisco.
Kayla, who is an intern at "Wired" magazine, came to the office of "Wired" magazine ahead of time. If she wants to join this magazine that has become more and more influential in recent years, she naturally needs to behave.
When Keira arrived at "Wired" magazine, she saw a tall and straight figure, but she was already standing there.
The visitor stood casually by the glass door, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, as if noticing Kaila's arrival, the visitor also cast his eyes on Kaila.
When she saw that face, Kayla couldn't help but look a few more times. Seeing Song Yang, Kayla couldn't help but think of a video "The Last Emperor" that she watched with her family a few years ago. Song Yang, compared to the leading actors in that video tape, and those Hollywood actors, I am afraid that he is not inferior.
"May I ask who you are?" Kaila asked Song Yang.
Song Yang showed a warm smile and reached out to Kaila, "Bruno Song, I want to visit editor-in-chief Kevin Kelly!"
Kayla opened the door of the magazine and asked Song Yang, "Do you have an appointment?"
When Song Yang heard that an appointment was needed, Song Yang couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. He didn't have much time to spend here, "I think editor-in-chief Kevin is definitely willing to talk to me. This is very important to us!"
Keira turned her head and glanced at Song Yang. Ever since Wired became more influential, the number of people who came to Kevin Kelly and wanted to take the opportunity to become famous continued to increase. But looking at Song Yang, Keira still couldn't bear to Song Yang chased him away, "I will report to Editor-in-Chief Kevin, but I'm not sure if he can find time to see you!"
"I still want to thank you Kaila, I will not forget what happened today!" Song Yang said, holding Kaila's hand.
Kayla blushed slightly, pulled out her hand, then hurriedly turned and left, leaving Song Yang alone in the reception room.
Song Yang also heaved a sigh of relief. The action just now was completely the instinctive reaction of the original bastard. It had nothing to do with Song Yang, who has always been a gentleman. Appearance does seem to have some effect, Song Yang said while pinching his face.
As an assistant, Kayla is responsible for assisting Kevin Kelly in his work, including the arrangement of daily activities. Kayla is quite trusted by Kevin Kelly.
After taking a look, seeing that it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, which was the time for Kevin Kelly to drink coffee every day, Kayla decided to speak for Song Yang who had been in the reception room for more than an hour.
"Mr. Kevin, there is a person who claims to be the founder of Double-Click Advertising Company and wants to meet you."
"Do you have an appointment code?" Kevin, who was busy processing the news and manuscripts to be published in the next issue of the magazine, said without looking up.
"No, but he seems to be in a hurry..."
Kevin raised his head curiously, and glanced at Keira who was a little flustered. He didn't remember which visitor this little assistant said so much for.
"Then invite him in, and prepare me another cup of coffee without sugar, I need to refresh myself!" Kevin Kelly said to Keira.
When Song Yang came in, what he saw was a standard Western face, accompanied by a Caucasian beard, looking at documents while drinking coffee energetically.
After slightly nodding to Kaila to express his thanks, Song Yang sat opposite Kevin.
"Please sit down!" Kevin stretched out his hand to Song Yang without raising his head, and then raised his head inadvertently, "Then, can you tell me why you met me..."
When he saw Song Yang for the first time, Kevin Kelly immediately understood why Kayla spoke for Song Yang. If he hadn't confirmed that this was San Francisco, he would have suspected that Song Yang had come to the wrong place.
Looking at Song Yang, who was much younger than he imagined, Kevin couldn't help being a little interested, and picked up Song Yang's humble business card.
"Editor-in-Chief Kevin, I have always admired you for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet you,
"Out of Control" is the most valuable Internet book I have read! "As soon as Song Yang sat down, he said it without blinking an eye.
This obviously speaks to Kevin's itch, "Have you watched "Out of Control"?"
To be honest, in the Eastern Internet industry later generations, "Out of Control", which was regarded as a divine book, had little influence in America, and the sales volume was only a few thousand.
Even Kevin Kelly, the "out of control" author himself, in the American technology circle, relies on his status as the editor-in-chief of "Wired" magazine, and his influence is far less than that of the "prophet" and "Godfather of the Internet" in the East. And so on a series of titles.
However, because of Wired magazine, he has a good relationship with Apple Jobs, Netscape Mark Anderson and other figures in the technology circle, and this is what Song Yang wants to rely on.
Wired magazine is more like a trumpet blower, waving the flag on behalf of the Internet and the technology industry and charging forward, building momentum for figures in the technology industry, and those people in the technology industry also increase the influence of Wired magazine.
Song Yang nodded without hesitation. He has indeed read this book. Although this book has been over-interpreted in the Eastern Internet industry, there are indeed many ideas in it. Song Yang also read it admiringly in his previous life.
"Decentralization, sharing, cloud computing, Internet of Things, etc. will all become the mainstream of the Internet in the future, and the future world also belongs to the Internet!"
Song Yang talked with Kevin, this is one of the concepts of Kevin's book, and the two talked quite speculatively.
Although it is unavoidable to have different ideas in some places, it suits Kevin's appetite, and Song Yang agrees with many of Kevin's views, which makes Kevin feel like a confidant.
Now Kevin Kelly, whose main identity is the editor-in-chief of "Wired" magazine, is far enough to be sought after by the East as a guest of honor. In America, he is somewhat well-known, but Silicon Valley technology, New York institutions and the Internet He is far from being regarded as an idol and a guest on the forum, and it is rare to meet someone who agrees with his ideas, so naturally the conversation is quite heated.
Song Yang decided to add fuel to the fire, "After watching "Out of Control", I had an idea, maybe I should move its concept to theaters so that more people can see it!"
