Chapter 10: The Pot Can't Be Opened
“This system must be improved, and the backend must be able to dynamically track the ads that are posted!”
"This is impossible. It's impossible to do it now!"
In the garage beside Highway 7, quarrels were heard again. Since Double Click Advertising Company was established, such quarrels have occurred several times almost every day.
Song Yang and Jaden were both breathing heavily, staring at each other, neither of them was willing to take a step back. In the end, the compensation of 500,000 yuan overwhelmed Jaden's anger.
"You are a tyrant. I don't know any other boss in the world who would have so many demands!" Jayden complained as he sat down.
"That's because you didn't meet Steve Jobs!"
Song Yang also muttered in his heart, if it were Boss Qiao, Jaden would probably be scolded for being autistic by now, Song Yang was already very merciful.
Quarreling and being busy are basically what Song Yang has to do every day during this period. For this reason, Song Yang has not had time to taste Jenny's cream cake during this period.
Despite the constant quarrels, the core of the entire Double Click Advertising Company, the advertising delivery system, is also progressing steadily. "The DART advertising system must be completed. This is everything we have!"
"It's yours!" Jaden said in a tantrum. This system was too torturous for him and made him almost doubt going to Silicon Valley.
The DART system is the system that DoubleClick Advertising Company is developing. The most important thing about it is "dynamic advertising and targeting". At least in this day and age, this advertising system is quite advanced, at least in concept. As for what Bledsoe Jaden can develop, only God knows.
In theory, this DART advertising delivery system can track and analyze advertisements to find out which type of advertisements have the highest click-through rate among users, and which type of advertisements, such as dynamic, static, and sponsored advertisements, are most acceptable to users.
Looking at Jaden who was muttering and cursing himself in his heart, Song Yang pretended not to hear him. He also knew that Jaden had a heavy workload. Even with Song Yang's help, he still had to work overtime. Jaden was now being driven forward by Song Yang.
Song Yang had no choice. The only person he could find now was Jaden. As for hiring a technical expert from Silicon Valley, it was basically just an idea. The cost of Jaden alone was enough to almost bankrupt Song Yang.
There was a rumbling sound outside the garage. When Song Yang heard the sound of the broken car, he knew who was coming.
Sure enough, a moment later, a modified car suddenly stopped in front of the garage. Before anyone got out of the car, a voice came out, "The future Bill Gates, the richest man in Houston, it's time to come out for dinner!"
Ever since Jenny's words came out that day, Gallo has been teasing Song Yang with these words many times.
Gallo and Haley got out of the car together. Gallo placed a meal in front of Song Yang, "Daanna prepared this for you!"
After Gallo came in, he took over Song Yang's computer and started playing with it. Although Song Yang's computer was an International brand, it had been debugged by Song Yang and ran much faster than any computer Gallo had encountered elsewhere.
Haley also sat aside bored, picked up a handful of magazines and started flipping through them randomly.
Now the novelty of Gallo and Haley has worn off. Double Click Advertising Company has been established for nearly a month, but there has been no movement. As for entering Hollywood with the help of Song Yang, it has almost become a joke.
" Daanna complained to me that you haven't been home for a long time!" Gallo said to Song Yang while playing on the computer.
Song Yang brought the food that Gallo brought over. Maybe he found that the Chinese cuisine seemed a bit off the beaten path, so this time Dana basically made Italian dishes, including pasta, salad, roast chicken, etc.
Song Yang took out half of it and gave it to Jaden, who was about to vomit from eating so much fast food. Over the past month, whenever Song Yang and he were in the garage, they basically ate fast food from the same McDonald's on the same horse. Even Song Yang had an idea that if he really got rich in the future, he would make McDonald's sell Chinese snacks instead.
After taking a big bite, Song Yang said to Gai Luo, "I haven't gotten enough sleep lately!"
At Devers School , Song Yang had to take leave every few days, and he was basically busy in the garage until midnight before he could go to bed. At this time, Song Yang was a little grateful to that bear Stanton. If it weren't for him, Song Yang would have found it difficult to find a reason to take leave.
Gallo had just played a few games when another car drove into the garage. Seeing the car, Gallo said to Haley, "We should go!"
When Greg got off the car, he acted as if he didn't see Gallo and Haley. Not only did he have a problem with Gallo, he had an even bigger problem with Haley. The girl he wanted Gallo to marry was an Italian, so it would be strange if he had a good impression of Gallo and Haley.
"Uncle Greg!" When Song Yang saw Greg, he immediately stepped forward. Greg was now the financial sponsor. Whether this small broken garage could survive depended on whether Greg, the financial sponsor, would give money.
Song Yang brought Greg into the garage. Without waiting for Greg to speak, Song Yang turned on the computer familiarly. "We are still developing the system, but we have made great progress, right, Jaden?"
Jaden, who was gnawing on a roast chicken, slapped Song Yang on the back of his head when he heard what he said. Song Yang's eyelids twitched a few times, but he still said to Greg, "Look at this!"
Greg sat at the computer and clicked a few times with the mouse to enter a website. During this period of time, thanks to DoubleClick Advertising Company, Greg's Internet experience has become increasingly rich.
Looking at the website on the screen, Greg knew that this was the official website of Double Click Advertising Company. Greg, who had also seen several websites, looked at the official website of Double Click Advertising Company in front of him and his eyes lit up, and a beautiful feeling arose in his heart.
Jaden, who was gnawing on a roast chicken, looked up and saw Greg's expression. He didn't feel the slightest bit surprised. He also felt amazed when he first saw the official website built by Song Yang.
Jaden was reluctant to admit that there were geniuses in the world, but sometimes there was really no place to reason. Just from the perspective of Internet design, Jaden felt that Song Yang, who was a latecomer and had only read a few computer books, seemed to be much more talented than people like him who came from a professional background.
From the architectural design of the DART advertising delivery system to the design of the DoubleClick Advertising Company's official website, all were completed by Song Yang. Jaden was basically used like a slave, writing code according to Song Yang's architecture.
Compared to some official websites and web pages that are still simple or even full of text, the official website of Double Click Advertising Company does not have any fancy things. The entire web page is composed of three main colors: blue, black and white.
From the perspective of the future, this website homepage is a bit retro, but for the present when website design has not yet become popular, Double Click Company's website can definitely be described as exquisite, fashionable and trendy.
The upper and lower frames were white on a black background, with the name of the double-click advertising company in the upper left corner, and the homepage in the middle was white text on a blue background. In the most conspicuous position were the words that made Jaden blush. He had never seen such a shameless website.
"What you are seeing is the best Internet media company in the world." This is the first thing you see when you enter the official website of DoubleClick Advertising Company.
Anyway, there is no rival now, so no one can refute how Song Yang praises DoubleClick Advertising Company. Words like "the world's number one Internet advertising company", "America's technological leader", and "top of the market share" all appear in the introduction of DoubleClick Advertising Company's official website.
The entire official website is basically divided into company introduction, technical cooperation, official contact, etc. If you just look at the website, it has a high-end feeling. It is estimated that all existing official websites in the world are more humble than Double Click Advertising Company. No one would have thought that if you crawl along the Internet cable, you will end up in a garage!
Greg looked at the website and then looked around at the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh at the gap between the Internet and reality.
Greg got up and sat down on the lounge chair at the garage door. There were several parasols and lounge chairs at the garage door as a place to rest.
According to Song Yang's encouragement to Jaden, even though they can only sleep on the recliners at the garage door now, in the future, when Double Click Advertising Company has money, they will build an open-air balcony in the building opposite the Empire State Building in New York to lie down, and the Empire State Building will be right in front of them. However, Jaden doesn't want to drink this bowl of chicken soup at all.
Looking at Song Yang with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes, Greg knew that Song Yang was really trying hard to win the DoubleClick Advertising Company.
"Several patents have already been applied to the American Patent Office. Patent applications in Europe, Asia and other places will also be in progress. But you have to think carefully. After applying for a patent, you have to pay patent fees every year. It's not a small amount of money!"
The law firm where Greg works has patent agency business, but patent applications are not just a one-time report. Instead, fees must be paid every year. Applying for patents in Europe, Asia and other places at the same time will cost even more. For Song Yang, these patent fees are definitely a considerable burden.
"Apply for all of them!" Song Yang said without hesitation. He must get these patents, otherwise it might be a waste of time and effort.
Greg handed another envelope to Song Yang. When Song Yang reached out his hand, he pressed the envelope again and whispered to Song Yang, "I need to remind you that at the current rate of DoubleClick's capital consumption, all the funds will be exhausted before the end of May, not including the commission you promised to Jaden!"
Song Yang looked at Jaden with some guilt. He did not give all the money to Jaden, but gave him a part of it. The other part would be given to him when the system development was completed. However, if Double Click Company went bankrupt, it would not be him who would get compensation from Jaden, but Jaden who would sue Song Yang.
"I know, but Uncle Greg..."
Before Song Yang could finish, Greg said directly, "We have talked about it. When the money is used up, you will go back to school, whether it is community college or something else, and continue everything you should do!"
Looking at Greg who was leaving, Song Yang rubbed his cheeks. If he really needed it, Song Yang could still get some money from Greg, Gallo, and even old Bruno.
But Song Yang also had to consider what to do next as soon as possible. He didn't have that much money, nor did he have time to continue wasting time!
