Back To 1995: Chapter 4 Stairs for collection
Chapter 4 Stairs (for collection)
The current technological frenzy has not yet begun, and the myth of Internet wealth creation is still unknown. Even Microsoft and Cisco have spent several years of work to reach the point where they are today, and it is still too early to be a real giant.
And for Song Yang, not to mention, now Song Yang is just an ordinary student of Devers, before him, how can he enter a university in half a year, otherwise, wait half a year In the end, Song Yang might end up with fast food restaurants like McDonald's or KFC, wasting years of time.
It’s hard for a smart woman to make a living without rice, and a penny is hard for a hero. Even if you know Yahoo and the like, you have no chance at all if you want to hold your thigh. As for investment, it’s even more foolish. How much money will be paid, not to mention that Greg is willing to hand over the money to Song Yang for investment.
Knowing his situation, Song Yang was even more helpless. Now he knew why so many people took risks for the first pot of gold.
The first pot of gold is more like a key. Without this key, there is no way to go to the next level, and you can only be trapped in place.
Walking on the streets of Houston, when passing by the largest Bilbao Biscay Bank in the Houston area, Song Yang unconsciously took a few more glances.
If he can get a sum of money now, just invest in those familiar technology giants, maybe in a few years, Song Yang can also get the title of "stock god".
But it’s impossible now, no one will hand over money to an unknown person who doesn’t even have a professional economic license. To invest in the so-called Internet concept industry, he will basically be regarded as a lunatic That's all.
Now let alone other places, even in America, the concept of the Internet is a new thing, and many people regard this industry as a scam.
After all, there are only less than 6 million Internet users in America. This is already the region with the most Internet users in the world, and other regions can be imagined.
After coming out of Devers School, Song Yang, who was a little depressed, came to an apartment.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman in a bathrobe coming out of the bathroom. When she saw Song Yang, Hai Li, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, greeted Song Yang, "Song, I heard Gallo say You were injured, didn't you hurt your face!"
At first glance, this girl doesn't look like a good person. Seeing Song Yang's depressed expression, Haili giggled and went back to Gallo's bedroom.
This apartment is Gallo's den, and it is also the place where the original Song Yang and others often gather for parties. Haili is Gallo's girlfriend, and now she is a small model. There are many girls in the film and television industry, but there are not many who can really gain a foothold. More are like Haili, who are slowly hanging around waiting for an opportunity that may not wait for a lifetime.
Song Yang turned on a TV familiarly. Gallo's place is not big, but TV, speakers, video recorders, Sony game consoles, etc. are all available, and there are constant parties on weekdays.
After a while, Gallo and Hai Li came out of the bedroom together, took out a few bottles of wine from an old refrigerator, and handed a bottle to Song Yang. One of the reasons why this place attracts many men and women is the supply of wine. After all, in other places, you can't sell alcohol to people of Song Yang's physical age, but you can drink alcohol when you come here.
Haili lit a women's cigarette and entered this industry. Haili also got into some bad habits. Leaning on Gallo, she teased Song Yang, "Song, do you need me to introduce you to a girl? No worse than that I... Bella!"
After thinking for a long time, Haili finally remembered Ibera's name. She remembered that Song Yang brought that skinny stick to the apartment party. She was a model, and naturally she knew a lot of girls in this industry. It didn't feel like a problem at all. Compared with the few male models she knew, his looks were a notch higher, enough to make those gangsters follow suit.
And relying on the opportunity of introducing Song Yang to those little rascals, Haili might be able to get some resources, which can kill two birds with one stone.
Being watched by Hai Li, Song Yang felt like he was being targeted by wolves. He felt that Hai Li was not a good person, and he didn't know what would happen to the woman he introduced to him.
Hastily waved his hand and refused, "This incident was provoked by that idiot Stanton. I'm not in the mood now. I was transferred to the bench on the baseball team. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get recruited by college!"
Hearing Song Yang's words, Gallo raised his head. He naturally knew Song Yangyuan's scumbag study level. To put it bluntly, Gallo's grades were better than Song Yangyuan's. , then Song Yang's path to university is likely to be interrupted.
"Your motor nerves were injured?" Gallo looked Song Yang up and down. It is not uncommon for athletes to seriously decline in the game after being injured, but Gallo always feels that Song Yang seems to have changed these days, but he can't tell what's wrong.
Song Yang took a sip of his drink, "I don't know, but I can't enter the game state, and I may need to find the state slowly!"
In the small apartment, the atmosphere was a bit dull for a while. Gallo and Haili had already entered the society and were beaten by the society. They knew how ridiculous the idea of not going to college a few years ago was. They said they didn’t regret it at all. Just kidding.
Gallo thought that if he followed Gleick's arrangement and entered college and majored in law or finance, then he should be an intern in a law firm or Wall Street at this time, instead of working all day in a car repair company with a racing car company. The shop is busy.
Hailee also thought about it, if she has the experience of an art school, whether she enters Hollywood or becomes a TV reporter, her chances are much greater than being a wild model now!
Now that Song Yang might not be able to enter the university, Gallo and Haili were both a little depressed for a while. Gallo patted Song Yang on the shoulder and had a drink with Song Yang.
At this time, someone came in from the apartment again, a tall and thin man came in, and he was also familiar sitting on the sofa. Song Yang remembered that his name was Ryan, and he belonged to the same racing company as Gallo.
After sitting down, Ryan said to Gallo, "There is a big job coming, and Cole sent three Toyotas, which need us to "repair"!"
Cole is the leader of a small gang in Houston. Those people like to have a red viper tattooed on their arms, so they are called the Red Snake Gang. Such small gangs are almost plentiful in America.
It sounds like the Red Snake Gang, and it seems that Bigger is very tall, but what they actually do is stealthy work, stealing cars and reassembling them for a living.
This is obviously a "private job", but Gallo is no stranger to this. He now owns this racing company, which sounds like it mainly designs high-performance racing cars, but it costs money. The big dogs support the research and development, so they can only find ways to raise funds by themselves.
The car repair shop is the main business of the racing company now, but sometimes it also takes on some "private jobs" with high profits.
If that racing company fails to make a name for itself in the future, it’s fine, but if it becomes famous, all the stains of today can be washed away, which is basically the first pot of gold!
Gallo was talking with Hai Li and Ryan, planning to hold a party at night, well, the name was to celebrate Song Yang's return from injury, how could it even involve Song Yang.
Song Yang didn't pay attention to those. At the moment, he focused on NBC on TV. This is an economic talk show on NBC. The host is in the same studio with two people.
One of them is a well-known investor on Wall Street, who mainly invests in traditional industries. At the moment, he is arguing with another person in the live broadcast room.
“The Internet is a scam, just like Netscape, which is being touted by those in Silicon Valley. It doesn’t have a profit model at all, and it can’t prove that it can survive!”
This investor mainly focuses on traditional industries such as investment banking and aviation. He doesn't care about the Internet, which doesn't know when it will make money. He thinks it's a scam.
The one who was attacked was a professor at a network laboratory at a university in New York. He avoided the topic of profit and said, "The United Network Commission of America has defined the Internet as a global information system. In the future, Internet users in America will be paid annually With a growth rate of 23%, as long as there are enough users, this market will definitely exist, and the future must belong to the world of the Internet!"
The professor’s vision is naturally excellent, but the investor on the other side is chasing after him, "How to make a profit? Investors have invested money in companies like Netscape, how will they get it back in the future?"
The university professor in the NBC director’s room was embarrassed by the embarrassment. This is indeed a very realistic problem. The cake is indeed drawn, and it may not be edible.
Afterwards, the host of the show called the Wall Street analyst and asked him for his opinion. Basically, he was biased. He was very optimistic about the potential of the Internet, but he couldn't say how to make profits and return investors. To put it bluntly, after the listing in the future, those venture capital companies will just cash out and run away, right? !
The profit of the Internet software industry now basically depends on selling software, just like Microsoft and Oracle, but in the entire Internet industry, how many Microsoft and Oracle have become irreplaceable existences of the Internet?
Song Yang's eyes were fixed on the TV, watching the investor named Christian Barnard on the TV station, chattering nonsense there, his mind was shaking, and a vague idea appeared in his mind, which made Song Yang a little bit Hesitant and excited.
For the Internet to develop into future generations, a thing that disgusts countless Internet users but supports the existence of Internet companies is indispensable, that is, Internet advertising!
Just like the importance of advertising to TV stations, without advertising, the TV media industry would not be able to develop to today, and TV advertising has changed the media industry.
The same is true for Internet advertising. Nearly half of the revenue of major Internet giants in later generations comes from this.
Song Yang watched the TV, and he didn't even hear Gallo's cry. This was an opportunity. For Song Yang, it was an excellent opportunity. A key was in front of him, but he wanted to Getting it is not so easy.
