Chapter 20 Spotlight
Even though Greg is not a professional manager, he has been a lawyer for many years and has much more experience than Song Yang.
After making several phone calls, he first called several banks in Houston to make appointments. In addition to the large banks, Gleick also contacted several small banks.
Big banks may not necessarily look favorably upon DoubleClick Advertising, a small company that looks strong on the outside but is actually just an empty shell.
Small and medium-sized banks are different. They are often willing to take a chance and offer higher loan amounts to upstarts like DoubleClick Advertising Company.
After contacting the bank, Greg made several more phone calls, including through the connections of the law firm's owner Josiah, and contacted several local media in Houston, including Houston local TV stations, the Houston Chronicle, etc., wanting to do a joint interview for Song Yang.
Looking at the grand scene created by Greck, Song Yang couldn't help but feel a headache, but what Greck did was normal. There are countless people in America who want to be famous.
Because as long as you become famous, you will have a reputation, and you will be invited to interviews by TV stations and reported by newspapers and media. As long as you participate in these interviews, you can get an invitation fee, and then you can write your experience into a book and publish it. If you are lucky, it can even be adapted into a movie. Anyway, as long as you are popular, you can continue to make money by relying on your fame!
After changing their clothes, Song Yang and Greg came to KHOU, a local TV station in Houston.
However, although this TV station has its own brand, it is part of the camp of media giants such as ABC, NBC, and CBS, just like other large and small TV stations and newspapers in America. The TV station that Song Yang came to is a TV station under CBS.
After Song Yang and Greg entered the TV station, the person in charge of the TV station immediately came out to greet them. Song Yang and DoubleClick Advertising Company are now the hot spots pursued by many media. Although the popularity is not as high as Netscape, the interviews and reports will definitely attract a wave of ratings.
"Osley!"
A tall woman wearing a gray business suit and a pair of black-framed glasses walked up to Song Yang and extended her hand to him.
"I'll be in charge of this interview. Can I call you Song?!" Osley is a typical American girl with big blonde hair, a round face, and thick, slightly pouty lips.
Although she is dressed very maturely, she is tall and her long legs are eye- catching .
Osli looked at Song Yang in front of him. Although Song Yang was dressed much older, his age could still be seen from his appearance.
Seeing that Song Yang's looks were not much worse than those Hollywood male stars who came to KHOU TV station for promotions, and thinking of his genius identity who established the DoubleClick Advertising Company with a valuation of millions, Song Yang could definitely be described as young and rich. Osley felt that in the future Song Yang would definitely be a new generation of diamond bachelor that many people would compete for!
"Of course!" Song Yang didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he shook hands with Osli, he felt that a little finger scratched his palm several times.
Greg was talking to the person in charge of the TV station, while Osli and Song Yang were sitting on the side to coordinate. "This is the main topic of our interview today. Do you think there is anything else we should pay attention to?"
Osli sat in front of Song Yang with her legs crossed, seeming to unconsciously show off her figure to Song Yang.
Song Yang had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He just looked at the interview questions in his hand. Generally, this kind of interview does not have a script, but in order for the interview to go smoothly, they will communicate with the interviewee in advance to avoid being asked some taboo questions. Of course, there are also TV stations or hosts who will suddenly challenge the interviewee during the interview and ask questions that were not communicated in advance.
Seeing Greg coming over after communicating with a TV station manager, Song Yang returned the document with the interview questions to Osli and smiled at her, "No problem!"
Song Yang was dragged to the dressing room by the TV station and tossed around for a while. It was the first time for him to sit under the spotlight and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous when looking at the camera.
However, Osley, who was sitting opposite Song Yang, and the program director, couldn't help but brighten up when they saw Song Yang after being tossed around by the makeup artist. If they didn't know that Song Yang came this time as a genius founder of the Internet, they would have thought that Song Yang was a new Hollywood star.
Osli seemed to notice Song Yang's nervousness, and took the lead in asking Song Yang a few irrelevant questions before getting to the point. "Song, can you tell us why you wanted to establish a company like DoubleClick Advertising?"
Song Yang looked at the girl in front of him with a little gratitude. He knew that it was Osli who was guiding him into the state.
After glancing at the direction of the camera, Song Yang began to perform, no, he was reviewing his mental journey, "This story starts a few months ago. I had just been injured and had to rest temporarily. I happened to see Professor Tristan from New York University debating with Wall Street investor Barnard on TV..."
"At that time, I was thinking about how to solve the current difficulties in the Internet industry, and then I thought of Internet digital advertising!" Song Yang brought out Tristan, praised him highly, and said frankly that he was his spiritual mentor.
"So," Osli noticed something and looked at Song Yang in surprise, "You have never learned Internet technology before, but you established DoubleClick Advertising Company by self-study?"
Song Yang naturally had no hesitation at this time. Regardless of whether Jaden would scold him for being a fool, Song Yang nodded and admitted it directly, "I have read programming technology books. They are like jumping elves, entering my mind and letting me understand them!"
At this time, everyone in the director's room, including Osley, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, and the word "genius" couldn't help but emerge in their minds.
Jaden, who had been staying at home to heal his wounds for the past few days, could no longer hold back when watching this segment. He stood up and angrily yelled at the TV, "Liar, all liars! I built the DART advertising system!"
Jaden admitted that Song Yang's talent was... dozens of times better than his. The architecture and design of the DART system were all formulated by Song Yang. He was just a slave and a coding tool, but even if he had no credit, he had worked hard. He worked overtime day and night for several months programming and writing code, but at this time Song Yang didn't even mention him, which made Jaden extremely angry.
While Jaden was cursing at the TV, a tall bald man with tattoos on his face, neck and arms walked into Jaden's room, "Auntie said you were bullied?"
Jayden saw the bald man and pointed at the TV angrily, "He is the robber. I should have got a share of this too!"
The bald man looked at the angry Jaden, then at Song Yang who was being interviewed on TV, and his eyes narrowed.
In the TV station's director's room, Song Yang was still being interviewed. As time went by, Song Yang gradually got used to the camera. Coupled with Osley's deliberate guidance, the interview was very effective. At least Song Yang's image as a genius who started from scratch in a dilapidated warehouse was established.
"Do you hate Stanton, the man who hurt you?" Osley asked Song Yang, and the camera was also pulled to Song Yang's face.
Song Yang frowned, "Of course not, I believe he did it unintentionally, and I have to thank him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gone through all this!"
"But," Song Yang showed some reluctance and a hint of sadness on his face, "Baseball is my favorite sport. Together with the players of the Devers Baseball Team, I have conquered the opponent's stadiums one after another. I once thought that one day I would be able to stand on the training ground of my favorite New York Yankees baseball team, but now..."
Song Yang shook his head helplessly, and directly put the blame for the fall of a baseball genius on the big bear Stanton, and killed him at the same time. If it weren't for him, Song Yang would not have the opportunity to establish Double Click Advertising Company and become a new millionaire.
Stanton, who was also watching the interview at home, couldn't help but hold his head in pain when he saw this. Song Yang was trying to frame him to death. Seeing Song Yang's expression that seemed to be in pain because he couldn't continue playing baseball, Stanton wanted to hit Song Yang on the head with a baseball...
"I want to thank Professor Tristan. I hope to have the opportunity to listen to his teachings again. I also want to thank Principal Devers and all the teachers for taking care of me over the years. Otherwise, I would not be here today. I want to thank Uncle Greg and everyone in the Bruno family..."
Song Yang thanked everyone and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Greg running into the director's room with a sign in his hand, frantically pointing at the name on the sign towards Song Yang.
Song Yang saw this scene. Although he was unfamiliar with the name, looking at Greg's expression, Song Yang continued, "Finally, I want to thank Mr. Adrian. Thank you very much for all the help he has provided to Double Click Advertising Company!"
After the interview, Osli glanced at Song Yang with a smile, then took out a business card and handed it to Song Yang, "This is a very good interview. You were born to be in the spotlight!"
Song Yang took the business card, put it in his pocket, and then looked at the American girl in front of him. Maybe it was because of his original body, but Song Yang instinctively blurted out, "Then I should also walk into the spotlight with you!"
Osli was stunned for a moment, and looked at Song Yang's back several times from under her old-fashioned black-framed glasses. She gently wiped her dry lips with her red lips, then turned around and left with her long legs crossed.
Walking to the lounge nearby, Song Yang asked Greg who came in, "Who is the last Adrian?"
"It's a call from Josiah, the city councilman for Houston's third district..."
Greg wanted to say something to Song Yang, but the TV station staff came in and Greg had to stop.
After leaving the TV station, Song Yang and Greg rushed to a local bank.
