Back To 1995: Chapter 368 arrow on the string

  Chapter 368 The arrow is on the string

   Gallo and Evan Spiegel are both masters of party creatures. Today's celebration reception was made by them, and the drinks flowed like little models and celebrities.

  Edison and Kravis used to look like elites in suits and leather shoes in front of the camera, but they also put down their guard at this time. They carnivaled at this reception, and Wall Street people played it, but it cost too much!

For Edison, Kravis and the others, this time they are naturally making crazy money. Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, which was established only last year, has made such a big move this year. The Deutsche Bank headquarters in Frankfurt are all interested in Edison. He called and gave him more authority. The Deutsche Bank investment bank established by Edison was really beyond the expectations of the Deutsche Bank headquarters.

  Evan Spiegel, who has never recognized his life, is holding a wine bottle and talking to people everywhere. Today is also a day of carnival for him.

When the double-click stock price was $4, Evan Spiegel bought 250,000 double-click stocks for $1 million, and before the stock price peaked, Evan Spiegel had already sold all of them. The 250,000 double-click stocks brought Spiegel a worth of 37 million dollars!

  Thinking about last year, Song Yang established Double-Click Company, how long he tossed and tossed in order to get the first venture capital investment, flew all over the United States, and sent business cards everywhere to ask for a meeting, and then got the first venture capital investment for Double-Click.

And Evan Spiegel is now worth more than ten million dollars, which is why so many people are trying to squeeze into the circle, even if they are just a follower, as long as they get a little wind in advance , may even be able to make a fortune!

  Song Yang held his wine glass, and after drinking a few glasses with Edison, Kravis and others, he stood aside and started talking with Marcus in a low voice.

   "All the fundraising expenses have been given."

Marcus said to Song Yang that he is a veteran in this field, and now he is not only responsible for the finances of Song Yang and the American Global Investment Fund, but also through the Bruno Family Foundation, etc., to raise donations for the American congressmen, etc. Responsible.

  Song Yang nodded. It seems that he has earned a lot this time, but there are also many people who need to manage, but these must be done.

   "What about Carl Icahn?" At this time, Greg, Whitman and others also came to Song Yang with their glasses of wine.

Whitman looked at Song Yang and asked how to deal with Carl Icahn, a hungry wolf. Carl Icahn is not shorting Double-click now, but he keeps buying Double-click stocks. No one can guess if he wants to become the board of directors of Double-click What exactly does he want to do, but anyone who has a hungry wolf running into his house will probably have to worry about it.

   "Don't worry about him for now, the most important thing now is to stabilize!" Song Yang looked at the crowd beside him and said.

Just experienced a double-click of a 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 he fights with Carl Icahn immediately, the double-click may I can't hold 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 forty and fifty dollars.

The change brought about by double-clicking the skyrocketing stock price is that Internet concept stocks on Nasdaq have collectively started a round of skyrocketing. There is a precedent for double-clicking, creating a miracle of market value of 20 billion dollars. Yahoo and other Internet companies, What happened to the stock price increase?

  Double-clicking on the company side, instead of taking the initiative to quiet down, I don't want to be the focus of the market all the time, and my every move is watched by people.

Now that the double-click matter, Song Yang has already dealt with it in sevens and eighties. He killed the gang of short-selling hedge funds, solved the huge fines for false advertisements that shrouded Double-click, and the class action and anti-monopoly lawsuits against Double-click. Double-click has the upper hand. Once the two lawsuits are over, the threat of double-click is basically gone!

But Song Yang has many more opponents now, such as Ella Cherry, Edward Winslow, and the veteran Anglo-Saxons behind him, Wall Street institutions who have been cut off two crops of leeks, 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, who will treat the newly-started upstarts as big fat sheep and want to bite them. If you don’t want to be swallowed, Then you can only kill the opponent!

   "The expansion pack of Diablo is currently being produced, and it will be launched immediately after completion!"

In the ICQ office building, the most important thing for ICQ now is to release Blizzard's new game "Diablo". ICQ spent several hundred million dollars to set up a game department. Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk Walk to know.

   Whether the game business can support ICQ's valuation and realize the traffic in ICQ's hands, this time we can see some clues.

More importantly, Irene and other executives all know that Song Yang, General Electric's head candidate Immelt, Comcast's young owner Brian Roberts, and others are implementing an unprecedented large-scale merge.

This requires the bubble of ICQ to keep blowing up, so that all investors can "see" that ICQ is a money printing machine in the future, at least it looks like that, so that they are qualified to compete with NBC Group, Comcast Television Network Merger!

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

   Ken Williams and Robert, who are in charge of Xuele Mountain, also said to Song Yang and Irene in the office at this time.

   This is the first large-scale release of a game after they returned to Sierra Mountain, so naturally they dare not take it lightly.

   "Xueleshan online game platform, how is the preparation going?" Song Yang asked.

  Blizzard's "Diablo" this time can be said to be a heavy responsibility. It was given high expectations and also acted as a delivery task. With the help of "Diablo", it promoted the Xueleshan game online platform.

   When Ken Williams heard this, he could clearly feel that Song Yang valued Xueleshan's game platform, even more than Sony's game console platform and game channel providers.

   After a little hesitation, Ken Williams said, "The Sierra online game platform is currently close to completion and can support the multiplayer online game of Diablo, but..."

   “Because of the copyright of the game, even Xueleshan launched the “Dawn” plan to support small and medium game developers, develop games for Xueleshan, provide free game engines to game developers, and enter the Xueleshan platform.

But it will take one or two years to see the effect. In the short term, if Xueleshan 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 Xueleshan Online. The game copyright library in Leshan's hands cannot be compared with the three major game consoles! "

Ken Williams said helplessly, why the three major game console platforms of Sony, Nintendo, and Sega have not fallen for so many years, apart from the so-called product technology and game development level, they hold a lot of game copyrights in their hands , If you want to play more games, you have to buy their hosts.

Xueleshan online platform, once it goes online, starts 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 With more games for players, I am afraid that the hard-earned users will continue to lose.

   "Xue Leshan Online must be launched on schedule, no matter how many game copyright libraries there are!"

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

"Game copyright, you can talk to other game manufacturers. Xueleshan can give more game share to the cooperative game manufacturers. I need to make Xueleshan online and become synonymous with the era of PC games. I want it to 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, either 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 be related to the Internet? There is no doubt that it is the Internet. Now is the frenzy period of the Internet. Anything that is related to the Internet can usher in a skyrocketing price.

The launch of the Xueleshan online platform is to make the traditional stand-alone games have a relationship with the Internet. Regardless of whether this game makes money now, this gimmick is enough. At that time, ICQ will have two concepts of instant messaging and Internet games. Once it is listed , then the market value will definitely roll up!

  The entire ICQ and Xueleshan game departments are in chaos, busy with the release of "Diablo".

After the other people 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, "What's going on with the Xueleshan Ribenzene Company? How is it?"

   It is imperative for Xueleshan to enter the Japanese billiard room market. Song Yang has already attracted many supporters, including the Elephant Party and even the Donkey Party. Many congressmen are waiting for a piece of the pie.

Selling dog meat as a sheep's trick, if Xueleshan wants to enter the billiard room market in Japan, it needs to find a famous name. It is impossible to rush in and grab the territory. I still have to save some face.

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