Back To 1995: Chapter 210 beat gongs and drums
Chapter 210 Beating Gongs and Drums
On both sides of the road leading to the Nasdaq trading floor, posters of Yang Zhiyuan and Filo, the two "Internet Chiefs", are overwhelmingly posted. The number of posters even exceeds the number of Yahoo logos. Seeing this scene, I thought that a congressman from America was going to run for the commander-in-chief.
After leaving the Manor on the North Shore of Long Island, Song Yang and Xie Qing saw this scene when they went to NASDAQ.
Yahoo's propaganda department, in full accordance with the general election routine, is "appointing gods" for the two founders of Yahoo, outdoor advertisements, TV interviews, newspapers, and magazines, and even Yahoo itself bought media magazines to testify against the two chiefs. publicity.
Xie Qing, Deng Feng, and Ke Yan were a little stunned when they saw this kind of formation for the first time. They knew that the Internet was very hot now, but it was beyond their expectations when it reached this point.
Especially when passing through Manhattan Avenue, the giant electronic screens on both sides of the road are almost dominated by Yahoo's advertisements, and more than half of the hundreds of screens in Times Square are occupied by Yahoo. , that would be much more crazy!
Xie Qing, who was originally calm about the listing, couldn't help but have the idea of sending Feita to the market when he saw this scene, and finally suppressed it. As a person in the Internet industry, who doesn't want to be the focus of the world, Be sought after by thousands of people? !
Song Yang understands that Yahoo is the focus of New York today, so he has no intention of stealing the limelight. He just entered the Nasdaq Center in a low-key manner with Marcus and others. Song Yang even refused the interview with the reporter at the door.
After entering the hall, Song Yang saw that the number of people present today was much larger than the previous Netscape.
The scene of the Nasdaq trading floor was busy. Looking at the center surrounded by a large group of reporters carrying long guns and short cannons, one knew that Yahoo people were inside.
In addition to these, people with two skin tones gathered at the scene. Besides those familiar faces in Silicon Valley, there were also a large number of ethnic Chinese. Apart from the Chinese faces of Bei Jinming, Li Changyu and others, the other most familiar one is Huang Jiaozhu, a leather-clothed swordsman who just embraced Microsoft's thigh this year and established Nvidia.
Today, almost all the companies founded by Chinese in Silicon Valley are here to support Yahoo. Not to mention Nvidia, this year just embraced Microsoft’s thigh, and the release of Microsoft’s Windows 95 system is a life-saving straw for Nvidia. Nvidia, which was established two years ago, has been developing rapidly A graphics card that is compatible with Microsoft systems was released, and one million sets were sold within four months of its launch. Finally, it survived in the graphics card industry where gods fight.
In these years, the software industry has been killed by Microsoft, and the hardware field has embraced Microsoft's thighs. Even if they hate Microsoft, there are still countless people relying on Microsoft for food...
In addition to Nvidia, there is also the Internet online conference software WebEx, which was just established this year. Although it has just been established, it has already been approached by many Silicon Valley venture capital.
The founder of WebEx has also come here, and behind the founder of WebEx is another figure, Yuan Zheng, the founder who will establish Zoom with a market value of US$100 billion in the future. After death, his language skills are not good enough now, and he is mainly working as an emotional coding robot in Webex, just like Wesley, so following him today is mainly to gain knowledge.
Apart from those who participated in the Internet and technology industry, the most powerful person was the owner of Solectron, the second largest electronics contractor in America. Solectron, who started working for IBM, was one of the earliest electronics assemblers in the world. The factory, Chen Wenxiong, the boss of Solectron, also came to join us in person.
Looking at the crowd in the trading hall, Song Yang could feel that Yahoo really worked hard today, and Yang Zhiyuan also used a lot of contacts, otherwise it would not be so easy to gather so many Chinese faces together .
When Song Yang, Xie Qing and others arrived at the scene, they quickly attracted a lot of attention on the scene. When a group of Chinese descendants saw Song Yang, they all looked at Song Yang with curiosity and scrutiny.
Since Song Yang's debut, compared with Wang An's company in America, the speed of jumping up is much more violent, but Song Yang is basically surrounded by Italian descendants of the Bruno family, as well as rednecks from Texas. These Chinese elites in America have a somewhat vague attitude towards Song Yang.
Looking at those gazes with various meanings, Song Yang couldn't help but sighed, if people of a certain ethnicity would have used the first blood principle to Song Yang long ago, he wished that all the celebrities in the world would be them Ethnic people, and then publicized and promoted it with great fanfare.
Turning his eyes, Song Yang walked forward with a smile on his face, and began to greet everyone in the trading hall.
"Director Li!"
After Song Yang passed by, he shook hands with Li Changyu first, and now Li Changyu has a great reputation in the American criminal field, and has broken through the ceiling of the Chinese police in the United States, becoming the first brother of the police in Connecticut, that is, The police stations in Connecticut are all managed by Li Changyu. Whether in name or in real power, he has broken through the ceiling of the Chinese in this industry.
Hearing Song Yang speak Chinese, Li Changyu and others were stunned for a moment, and then their attitude towards Song Yang changed obviously. Among the new generation of Chinese in America, there are not many who can still speak Chinese. .
Song Yang shook hands with Li Changyu, Bei Jinming and others one by one. Xie Qing also quickly got acquainted with Yuan Zheng and others from WebEx. After all, they all came to America from China, so they can definitely talk together.
The media and camera at the scene, after Song Yang gathered with a group of yellow-skinned people, also turned the camera around. In America, this kind of scene is rare, and there are not many famous Chinese people in America. But most of them are fighting alone. It is rare for Chinese people from so many industries to get together.
After Song Yang chatted with a group of people, Yahoo saw Song Yang entering the arena, and quickly pulled Song Yang to the media to take pictures.
"Song, thank you for coming!" Brady, who is most familiar with Yahoo and Song Yang, embraced Song Yang and said.
"Of course", Song Yang frowned, "As you know, I have always been very supportive of Yahoo!"
When Yang Zhiyuan saw Song Yang, he immediately vacated a seat and let Song Yang stand beside him. Yang Zhiyuan's character is nothing to say, he is indeed the demeanor of a leading brother. From the presence of so many ethnic Chinese today, one can tell that up.
Coorg, the president of Yahoo, saw that the media cameras began to shift to Song Yang as soon as Song Yang arrived, and he felt dissatisfied. With a somewhat strange tone, he said to Song Yang, "Song, thank you for coming here today."
When Song Yang heard this, his face changed, and he said seriously, "Today is the most important time for Yahoo, and it is also the day when Chief Yahoo ascends the throne. I will definitely come to witness it!"
Hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing. Today is indeed the most important day for him. Even if he has no intention of becoming the Internet chief to replace Anderson, Yang Zhiyuan doesn't want to give up the position of Internet chief.
"Song, are you optimistic about Yahoo?!" The reporters gathered around asked Song Yang, the new "director" of Yahoo.
Song Yang nodded immediately, "I think Yahoo will become the representative of the Internet in America and even the whole world. Double-click the shares of Yahoo, and I guarantee that it will not be sold within three years!"
The reporters gathered around heard this, and they couldn't help appearing in a commotion. After Song Yang said this, he would not sell Yahoo shares within three years, which really proved that Song Yang was optimistic about Yahoo.
When Coorg heard this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. He was happy that Song Yang was touting Yahoo. If he didn't sell Yahoo's stock, it would make more investors have confidence in Yahoo. He was working for Song Yang, and Kuge felt a little uncomfortable.
Facing the questions from the surrounding reporters, Song Yang praised Yahoo for a while, and even directly said, "I think it's just the beginning for Yahoo to surpass Netscape".
Netscape's current market value is as high as billions of dollars. Song Yang said that Yahoo can surpass Netscape, which is almost equivalent to blowing Yahoo to the sky.
However, in addition to asking questions about Yahoo, some reporters also caught the same question about American Telecom, and asked Song Yang whether America Telecom's acquisition of CompuServe was a failure.
Song Yang just smiled and waved his hands to this kind of question. Today is Yahoo's big day, and Song Yang doesn't want to steal the limelight. Seeing this, Kuge quickly invited all the directors of Yahoo to come over. After preparing for a group photo, he asked Yahoo to Login to Nasdaq.
Moments later, Masayoshi Son of Softbank, the major shareholder of Yahoo, and Moritz of Sequoia Investment, all came to the trading floor.
When Sun Zhengyi, who was not tall, came to the scene, the flashes were all lit up, and he immediately became the focus of the audience. All the Wall Street people present also looked at him with various meanings. Over the years, because of the billions of dollars he spent on Yahoo, he has become famous in America and has taken advantage of it. Those who are present today, as well as countless people in front of the TV station, all want to see Masayoshi Son's jokes.
Sun Zhengyi's face was the same. He knew that many people wanted to see his jokes, but he still smiled all over his face as if he didn't realize it.
"Song Yang, it should be this name, I've always wanted to meet you!" Sun Zhengyi said Song Yang's name with a slightly weird accent, and said very warmly to Song Yang.
"Me too!" Song Yang and Sun Zhengyi exchanged pleasantries.
On this occasion, there was no chance to speak. After Song Yang said something to Sun Zhengyi and Moritz, he stood together with a group of people from Yahoo for a group photo. Unlike the Netscape last time, Song Yang, who was a director of Yahoo, This time I also wore a baseball cap with the Yahoo LOGO.
When Song Yang, Yang Zhiyuan, Ferro, Sun Zhengyi, Moritz and others all appeared behind a photo, the code of Yahoo also appeared on the screen of Nasdaq!
