Back To 1995: Chapter 86 cut leeks
Chapter 86 Cutting Leeks
Albert talked with Song Yang all over the place, and talked about his past "brilliant" deeds from time to time.
"I remember that it was 1974. I only brought a luggage bag and walked from Lisbon to Samara all the way. At that time, today's old man could still compete with America for global hegemony. Everything passed too fast. Of course, I also met some "interesting" people on the way!"
When he said this, Albert blinked at Song Yang, showing a look that all men understand.
In that era, like Albert, who was deeply influenced by hippie culture, there were countless young people in America, all alone, across a continental plate, to find the meaning of life.
In the middle, either he was completely enlightened, the most famous being Steve Jobs, who practiced in Asan’s territory for a few years, and came back to establish Apple, or he was completely useless, and the bones and scum had long since disappeared.
"Is there a copy of "Walden" in the backpack?!" Song Yang looked at Albert and said.
An Aite was quite surprised when Song Yang mentioned this book, "Song, have you read this book?"
Song Yang just laughed, this book was seen by Song Yang in Greg's study, for this book, Greg seems to be very precious.
The book Walden Pond was published as early as the 19th century, but a few decades ago, when the hippie culture was rising in America, Europe and other places, a spiritual food was needed, so this book was dug out again .
Then all the messy things were interpreted from this book. Minimalism, returning to nature, etc. began to appear. A group of people did not work as laborers in the city, but occupied a piece of land in the suburbs of the city, and they were in the dark all day long. , There are also people who ran to the snow-capped mountains and squatted alone. They were all affected by this trend. Jobs is also a typical representative of being fooled and limped.
Steve Jobs and Apple were able to rise and be touted in America, not just because of the product itself, Jobs was also given a certain cultural representative by some people.
"Unfortunately, after I arrived in Samara, I was forced to return to America due to physical reasons, otherwise I was going to cross Siberia and reach the Asian continent!" Albert said with some regret.
"It's really a pity," Song Yang didn't know how to complain. Albert really wants to go to Siberia. Whether he can meet him while sitting here today is a question. "However, next year, I may go to Asia, Albert If the professor is interested, you can go together."
Albert showed interest when he heard this, thought for a moment, then nodded, "If you have time next year, we can go together!"
"Song, in fact, you can already graduate from me. You just need to perfect the theory of viral marketing, and the University of San Jose can issue you a certificate immediately."
Albert said with a smile, but he was not completely joking. Even Harvard is studying the theory of viral marketing. Hotmail, a new marketing method that achieves the greatest promotion effect at the lowest cost, is also an MBA case. Classic case.
As the originator of using viral marketing, if Song Yang completes this set of theories at the University of San Jose, it will not be a problem at all to get a diploma!
Albert is also telling Song Yang that at the University of San Jose, he and San Jose will not interfere with Song Yang's affairs. As long as Song Yang stays at the University of San Jose, he will find time to organize the set of viral marketing into a paper. that's enough.
No need for Song Yang to trouble, the assistant of Derek, the president of San Jose University, has arranged all the procedures.
In the University of San Jose, Song Yang was also arranged for a one-room apartment that was originally reserved for doctoral students. Regardless of whether Song Yang could live in it, it was arranged anyway.
Song Yang came to San Jose University to report, but the happiest thing was the San Jose Board of Trustees. After all, an American upstart became a member of the San Jose University Alumni Association. After that, he could receive another donation every year!
The business school of San Jose University is also considered an old school, with more than a dozen majors. Song Yang applied for international trade, which is the major of Bishop Albert. In addition, Song Yang also applied for a psychology.
For Song Yang's arrival, almost all the big and small parties were invited to those who inquired about Song Yang's identity. Not only a few fraternities in the business school, but also 19 large and small fraternity organizations at San Jose University gathered together to find Song Yang. Yang, I want Song Yang to join in.
There is even the San Jose Sisters’ Association approaching Song Yang as a special advisor. As for what it means, just think about it.
However, Song Yang keeps a respectful distance from these fraternities and sororities, although there are several powerful fraternities among them, such as a vice president of Intel, a well-known writer, and a congressman from Washington State. He is a member of this fraternity, but Song Yang declined.
Besides fraternities, those girls from those business schools boldly expressed their love to Song Yang, not to mention a few.
Young and wealthy, Song Yang is definitely a standout compared to those older American tycoons, and with a face comparable to a Hollywood movie star, even though Song Yang said that he already has a girlfriend, butterflies still swarm him .
At the University of San Jose, after staying for a few days, Song Yang has basically stabilized and joined the baseball and rowing clubs. The baseball team of the University of San Jose is not weak, and it is a strong team in the NCAA baseball tournament. Song Yang joined the San Jose baseball club. It's just to join in the fun, it's just for exercising.
After arriving in San Jose, Song Yang and Xie Qing had a much closer relationship. They played together and went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. It felt the same as life in China.
However, there are not many things that need to be handled by Song Yang. After Song Yang came to San Jose, he double-clicked the company, Hotmail mailbox, America Telecom and other things, and began to slowly transfer to San Jose.
In the ICQ office building in San Jose, Song Yang, who came out of business school, came here directly to start dealing with Hotmail mailboxes and other things, and several people were already waiting here.
"Boss!"
Seeing Song Yang coming in, Irene, who was dressed in a lady's suit, stood up immediately. There was Greg next to him, and Gallo, who had just returned from the American telecom construction site, was sitting on the sofa with dark skin.
Irene, Greg, Gallo, plus Marcus who was called by Song Yang, Song Yang's small team is basically here.
"Everyone has worked hard this time!" Song Yang looked at Irene, Greg and others and said.
Hotmail continues to go on a violent road, attracting the attention of all technology media in America. Some media even exclaimed, "Who can stop Hotmail?"
In the first month of the above line, the number of global users broke the record of 500,000. After entering the new month, Hotmail continues to sweep the global Internet industry with unstoppable momentum.
With the current performance of the Hotmail mailbox, breaking the record of one million users, for it, it is only a few days.
What really attracted the attention of the Internet industry in America is that the number of registered users of Hotmail mailboxes in a single day is still continuing to explode. Increasing.
According to this increase, the time it takes for Hotmail to reach tens of millions of users is much shorter than the model made by the Harvard team!
The key is not only in America, but in overseas markets, Hotmail mailboxes are also in a state of remnants. There is no rival Hotmail mailbox at all, and the growth is almost barbaric.
“Now Hotmail mailboxes have entered English-speaking regions such as America, Canada, and England. As long as other language versions can be developed, they can immediately enter the local market.”
During this period of time, Irene, who was in charge of the two major projects of Double-Click and Hotmail, and being interviewed by the media, made Irene start to appear as a strong woman, and even on Wall Street, Irene began to have A few rumors about Doherty.
Greg still doesn't like Irene, but now he won't directly speak out against Irene. During this time, Irene's performance and ability are in front of him. Coupled with Song Yang's attitude, let Greg know that in a short time , Driving Irene away is somewhat unrealistic.
"The problem now is that after Hotmail released the news that it will choose a local cooperative operator, many overseas companies have approached them. Who do we choose to cooperate with!"
Irene said that now American companies don't play "localization" very much, and there are also psychological reasons. After all, America just killed the old man a few years ago. All over the world, there are advantages.
I think that the locals in overseas markets are not as capable as the people sent by America, and they don’t trust the locals. This mentality will slowly change after decades of failure of American giants in overseas markets.
So when Song Yang chose to find a local partner to operate the Hotmail mailbox in an overseas market, Irene also felt a little strange, which was not in line with the status quo in America.
Song Yang took over the documents from Irene, which were all regions of the world, looking for a company to cooperate with Hotmail, Song Yang also had requirements for the partner, at least to have a certain strength, to pay Hotmail Only after a "guarantee deposit" of US$1.5 million is the qualification to act as a Hotmail mailbox.
A deposit of 1.5 million US dollars is a threshold that blocks a large number of companies from the door, but there are still a large number of powerful companies, among which the telecommunications, computer, and office equipment giants are the most active. They don't care about this. For a little money, it is just an attempt for them to act as a Hotmail mailbox in the local area.
Song Yang looked at the list of nearly twenty cooperative companies, and couldn't help but sigh that there is no shortage of big dogs in the world at any time. After this order, just relying on the deposit, the Hotmail mailbox can get tens of millions of dollars. knife.
For a moment, Song Yang really wanted to get a brand for Hotmail, and find hundreds of operating agents all over the world. He could earn a lot of money just by collecting deposits. Now Song Yang knows why so many companies There are also celebrities, after getting a little fame, they all like to open a store, and then find an agent to join them. I don’t know if the products are selling well, but the franchise fee is really lucrative!
But just thinking about it that way, if you really do it like that, the Hotmail mailbox brand will probably be abolished, Song Yang sighed, or those celebrities will cut leeks!
