Back To 1995: Chapter 861 cross border
Chapter 861 Crossover
The media reporters who participated in the Alcatel P1 and P2 mobile phone conferences felt like witnessing history when they saw the scene in the conference center today. After rebirth, the experience of becoming a mobile phone giant step by step!
What Alcatel has experienced in the past three years is enough to burn in the technology industry. It took Ollila eight years to bring the dilapidated and crumbling Nokia back on track and sit on the Iron Throne of the mobile phone industry , and Alcatel's mobile phone was reborn from the ashes, and it took less than half of Nokia's time to become a mobile phone giant!
Who dares to say that the Alcatel mobile phone after eight years will not surpass Nokia and other rivals, and also sit on the throne of the Iron Throne?
After all, Alcatel’s mobile phone revenue and profits are no worse than Nokia’s. There are even rumors that it may surpass many old mobile phone giants.
Irene sat down and chatted with a group of acquaintances, eBay President Whitman, the head of Sierra Games, Williams and his wife, PayPal head Aaron Swartz, PA Semiconductor boss Dabble Poole and others. call.
Regardless of the relationship in the past, on this occasion today, in front of many media and reporters, Irene, Whitman and the others must show that they have a good relationship. Life depends on acting skills. Sometimes, face There is still enough work to be done.
After nodding and saying hello to a few people, Irene unexpectedly looked at the two people in the back row. Before they could react, Irene stretched out a business card, "Very Nice to meet you!"
The two founders of Google sitting in the back row, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, looked at the business cards in front of them, and were inexplicably invited. The two people who participated in the Alcatel mobile phone conference were a little surprised and followed Shock.
Although they are about the same age, the gap between Larry Page and Brin's status in the technology industry and Irene is not much smaller than the gap between the moon and the earth!
What is Google like now? Selling itself to Yahoo, Yahoo is not willing to take it. It wants to sell itself to Excite search company for a million dollars, but it is rejected by Excite President George Bell. The price is reduced to 750,000 dollars, but Google does not sell it. go out.
As for ICQ, after acquiring the Bronfman Group, its market value has reached 400 billion U.S. dollars, becoming one of the giants with the highest market value in the history of technology in America and even in the world!
In front of ICQ, Google can’t really be said to have no sense of existence, at least it’s similar to the comparison between elephants and ants. Of course, Google is the latter...
As the president of ICQ, Irene actually took the initiative to hand them their business cards, which made Sergey and Brin a little flattered for a while, a little uneasy, and a little excited at the same time. Because of this scene, the two of them have been transparent since childhood. , instantly got a lot of media attention, took pictures of the two, and inquired about their identities!
Holding Irene's business card, Sergey and Brin had various thoughts popping up in their minds. Does ICQ have any ideas about Google, whether it wants to invest in Google or even acquire it? For a company at the level of ICQ, even A little leak from your finger is enough for Google to survive!
Although they have this kind of thinking, Sergey and Brin are not sure that ICQ can see Google. In fact, they have been hit hard during this period. Google, Excite and other big companies are not interested in any of them. None of Google's, Silicon Valley's venture capital, or Wall Street's investment banks can look up to Google, and they don't dare to think about it, and they can hug ICQ's thigh.
After Irene handed Sergey and Brin a business card, she turned her head and looked at Ertian who had already walked to the stage.
Now that there are so many people, it is not convenient for Irene to talk to Sergey and the two of them. If I tell them now, Irene will throw down an annual salary of more than 21 million US dollars, plus dividends and bonuses, one year The job of president of ICQ, which can earn more than three or four thousand four thousand dollars, is going to be the CEO of Google. Not to mention whether others believe it or not, it is estimated that Sergey and the two of them themselves do not believe in this evil!
Google and Alcatel did not have a good relationship at the launch event. Irene invited me here. Today, I just got in touch with it, and by the way, I want to increase Google's reputation. With today's release, Irene took the initiative to hand over her business card. Google's reputation is definitely It will skyrocket a lot.
As for whether she will be worried about whether Google will become famous, invest in another company, and be acquired by other venture capitalists or giants, Irene is not worried. As long as Sergey and Brin are a little more conscious, they will know that they will choose the most powerful Bruno gang on the Internet today. As a backer, it's better to take refuge in some cat or dog.
With Song Yang's record of no failure in the Internet industry, if Google can get Song Yang's investment, and Irene will be the CEO in person, with such a configuration, many Internet companies will be so greedy. Guaranteed to be able to experience the Nasdaq ringing the bell!
When Elthian walked onto the stage, a whole row of shots with long guns and short guns were aimed at him in an instant. The TV stations that broadcast live and rebroadcast today include ICNC, NBC, Houston TV, Texas TV, and San Jose TV. , San Francisco TV Station, and more than a dozen companies have come.
ICNC’s newly-released technology channel must be broadcasting the entire press conference today. The camera position and configuration of ICNC TV station are also the best in the audience. The on-site photographer first gave Ertian a close-up, and then the camera slowly He turned to the celebrities in the audience.
There are a lot of celebrities and big shots here today, and they must be on camera, otherwise, how can we highlight Bigger at today’s press conference, just like in the NBA, if there is nothing to do, we will give a close-up of the stars on the sidelines, On the one hand, it is to promote these stars and prevent them from coming in vain. On the other hand, it is also to tell the attention that the supporters of the team are all big names, otherwise which star would be willing to come next time.
When the camera turned to Irene, Doble Poole, Whitman and others in the audience, some people who watched the game on TV did not feel much, but when the camera passed over Sergey and Brin , immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Yahoo headquarters, before Christmas, Yahoo’s market capitalization had exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars. A proper giant company, but compared with the "enemy of life" ICQ, it is not enough.
Looking at the Internet industry, ICQ’s current rivals are AOL and Microsoft. Yahoo is not among them, but Yahoo treats ICQ as an old enemy.
It’s hard to tell how Yahoo feels about ICQ, or rather, how it feels about Song Yang. Song Yang and Yahoo founder Yang Zhiyuan made their debut at the same time. To be louder, Yahoo also listed more mornings than ICQ.
But now, I don’t know why life is like this. Song Yang’s worth has long surpassed Yang Zhiyuan’s, and ICQ’s market value is almost equivalent to four Yahoos. This makes Yahoo feel a little aggrieved. , but there is nowhere to vent.
For Song Yang's affairs, Yahoo is quite concerned about it. Although Yahoo is not involved in many companies and businesses in Song Yang's hands, it does not prevent Yahoo from comparing itself with Song Yang's side. …
"That's...Google!"
In the conference room of Yahoo headquarters, the director in charge of Yahoo’s investment department saw the two Sergeys flashing by on the TV, and said suspiciously.
Yahoo's executives have changed a few times. The current executives are basically Wall Street people. The veterans who fought with Yang Zhiyuan at the beginning have quit Yahoo one after another.
Yang Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the conference room without saying a word, as well as Yahoo President Coorg and others, also looked over.
"It's just a small ... insignificant search company, and their founder even threatened that Google's search engine is better than Yahoo's!
I think they must be crazy and forget what Yahoo does! "
The person in charge of the investment department couldn't help but said with a smile, as if he heard a joke, he laughed a few times, but seeing the desertedness in the meeting room, he could only stop in embarrassment.
If Google did not appear at the Alcatel mobile phone launch conference, and sat in a conspicuous position in the front row, then Yang Zhiyuan and others would not care, but now that Google is sitting there, it shows that Google is favored by Song Yang .
After so many years, who dares to question Song Yang's vision in the Internet industry?
"At the beginning, Netscape didn't like the newly established Double-click company. Now, Netscape has disappeared, but Double-click still exists!"
Yang Zhiyuan responded coldly to the director of the investment department, but he felt uneasy in his heart. If Song Yang really wanted to be optimistic about Google, it meant that Song Yang would formally enter the search industry and be tough with Yahoo. Even if Yahoo was in the search industry, It was the one with the advantage, but Yang Zhiyuan was still a little worried!
The same scene also happened in Excite. When George Bell, the president of Excite, saw that Google was the guest of Alcatel's mobile phone conference, his right eyelid jumped for some reason.
Eltian stood on the field and held press conferences for several consecutive years. Even if his ability to control the field was not as good as that of Jobs, it was enough to handle the scene.
A familiar opening remark, "I remember last year today, I made a promise to everyone, every year in the future, Alcatel mobile phone will meet with you, today, Alcatel P3 mobile phone, it is here!"
The same thing, Ertian said the same last year, which caused a burst of laughter, followed by a burst of applause.
"Alcatel's third-generation flagship mobile phone, P3 camera phone!"
Ertian pointed to the screen behind him. On the huge projection screen behind him, the first thing that appeared on the screen was a line of words, "Kill Kodak's mobile phone!"
