Chapter 23: Falling into a Trap
Greg felt that Kevin Ryan's request was a bit too high. An annual salary of nearly two hundred thousand dollars, not to mention in Houston, even in New York where every inch of land is valuable, it is a position that would make countless people jealous.
Seeing the hesitant Greg and Song Yang looking at him, Ryan said surprisingly, "I saw media reports that DoubleClick Advertising Company will settle more than 10 million US dollars in advertising revenue for Netscape next year. I am willing to take on this task!"
Greg stared blankly at Ryan in front of him, not knowing whether he was really capable or just bragging. Knowing the inside story of Netscape's 10 million US dollars in digital advertising fees, Greg felt a little embarrassed.
Ryan volunteered to complete the task, which surprised Greg. He didn't know how to decide for a moment. It would be fine if he met a boastful liar, but if Ryan really had the ability and missed it, that would be the most helpless.
"You should know that there is a difference between Internet advertising and traditional advertising!" Song Yang said to Ryan. This is an emerging industry. It is true that Ryan is a sales genius, but Song Yang is not sure whether he can adapt to this industry.
After hearing Song Yang's words, Ryan said, "Whether it is Internet advertising or traditional advertising, the essence is to put the most suitable things in front of the people who need them most!"
After looking at Ryan for a few times, Song Yang put down his resume, exchanged glances with Greg, and said to Ryan, "I hope you can fulfill your promise. In addition to the salary, you and all the staff in the sales department can get a share!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Double Click Advertising Company does not have so much time to slowly cultivate an elite sales team like the old media companies. It can only take a different approach and spend money.
As long as you bring advertisers to DoubleClick Advertising Company, you can get a share of the profits. The more advertisements you bring, the more money you get . No matter how poisonous the chicken soup is, it is not as motivating as the US dollars!
Kevin Ryan looked at Song Yang, not disdaining him at all because of his age. "Boss, I have one more request before I join DoubleClick Advertising Company!"
"If I can meet the performance requirements, I hope to get equity rewards when DoubleClick Advertising Company goes public in the future!"
This time, Greg was really shocked. He looked at Ryan in surprise. Going public was too far away for Greg, and he never thought that one day he would become the legal director of a listed company. But now he was brought up by Ryan.
Song Yang also looked at Ryan. Not to mention Greg, even Song Yang had never thought about going public. Now he just wanted to prevent DoubleClick Company from going bankrupt before next year.
“Do you think DoubleClick can be listed on Nasdaq?”
"You think not?!" Ryan looked at Song Yang strangely, as if he was surprised by Song Yang's question. He left News Corporation and was ready to do something big.
Song Yang was speechless for a moment because of Ryan's question. He didn't expect that Ryan was more confident than him.
"If DoubleClick is really listed, you will get your share of the equity, I promise!"
"However, now as the deputy general manager and sales director of Double Click Advertising Company, you need to set up your department first!" Song Yang pointed to the empty office floor behind Ryan, indicating that he was about to start working.
With Kevin Ryan, the foundation of DoubleClick Company was initially completed. Song Yang and Greg were busy all day and basically selected the heads of various departments.
At the end of the interview, Hailey walked towards Song Yang again and winked at him, "Song, there is an interview for the position of chairman's assistant. Do you want to take the interview?"
The chairman of the board of directors of Double Click Advertising Company is naturally Song Yang. In the future, the operation of Double Click Company may be managed by someone, but in name it will definitely be under Song Yang's name to increase its visibility.
Greg looked at Song Yang and Haley for a few times. Of course he noticed those little movements, but he didn't say much. His identity is somewhat special now, and Song Yang's identity has also changed. Greg can't make demands on Song Yang like before.
When Song Yang saw Haili's look, he knew what was going on. Song Yang, who had always been a gentleman, wanted to refuse, but the scumbag's original body instinctively spoke first, "Let her in!"
Then Haley walked in with a girl. Song Yang couldn't help but look at the newcomers. He knew why Haley had winked at him just now.
This is a completely different type from Jenny, she has a petite but well-proportioned figure, delicate features, short brown hair, a high nose bridge, and a ribbon wrapped around her arm. Unlike Jenny, she has the aura of a strong woman in front of her, giving people a special feeling.
Erin Dougherty also looked at the "genius" who had been hotly discussed by the Houston media in recent days. He was even younger than what she had seen on TV.
However, when Song Yang looked at her, Irene, who was wearing glasses, frowned and put her resume on the table.
Song Yang withdrew his gaze. What happened just now was not Song Yang's original intention. It was the original body's instinctive reaction and had nothing to do .
Irene has the aura of a strong woman, and even though she is a little immature now, her character is already showing.
“I will graduate from Houston Business College this year and I hope to get an internship at DoubleClick!”
With Irene 's academic qualifications, there would be no problem for her to get an internship in a large company after graduation. But now she comes to DoubleClick, which means that what she wants is more than just an internship opportunity. In a startup company like DoubleClick, there are enough opportunities for Irene to display her skills. In a large company, Irene might just be a tool, or a... vase.
Song Yang looked at Irene's resume. She was an absolute academic genius who had almost received a full scholarship at the Houston Business School. Irene answered Song Yang's questions fluently. What Song Yang did not expect was that Irene had even studied how to create and manage a startup company at the Houston Business School. This was much better than Song Yang's half-baked management skills.
Song Yang was of course satisfied with Irene. Although she lacked experience, she was at least much better than the current group of people in Double Click Company. Not to mention her appearance, which could not be concealed even with glasses. Song Yang swore that he really didn't want to keep Irene because of the latter.
Just as Song Yang was about to speak, Greg reached out and held down Irene's resume, and said to her, "You have completed the interview with DoubleClick. We will call you to see if you are hired before tomorrow evening!"
Irene looked at Greg hesitantly, but nodded and stood up to leave.
"Is she unsuitable?" Song Yang spread his hands and asked Greg, not knowing what Greg was up to.
Greg packed up the documents expressionlessly, raised his head and glanced at Song Yang, "I don't like this girl, she is a Jewish girl..."
Song Yang looked at Greg in confusion, "Uncle Greg, I don't remember you having any grievances against the Jews!"
"I have no problem with any ethnicity, even black... African Americans," Greg swallowed the word beginning with G, "but this Irene, do you think she graduated from Houston Business School just to be an assistant?!"
"Just an assistant!" Song Yang didn't know why Greg cared so much about this person.
Seeing that Song Yang had no intention of changing his mind, Greg did not say anything else, but just said, "I hope you remember what I said today, she is just an assistant!"
Song Yang sat down, let out a long breath, and couldn't help rubbing his brows. He felt that moving out of the small garage had caused more things to happen and was more troublesome.
Looking at Irene's resume, Song Yang wanted to keep Irene, not just for the sake of pleasing eyes. The key was that he needed Irene's management ability. In his two lives, Song Yang had no experience in managing a team. If there was no professional to help, Song Yang was worried that something might go wrong.
After thinking for a moment, Song Yang placed Irene's resume in the same area as Ryan's resume.
After everyone else had left, the only people left on the entire office floor were Song Yang, Gallo and two others who had come to pick up Haley.
Hailey, who had been working as a front desk helper for a day, kicked off her high heels and said, "I'm so tired!"
"This is really not a job for a human being, Song. When will you send me to Hollywood?" Haley, slumped in the chair, rubbed her legs and complained to Song Yang. She felt that standing in the front desk was more tiring than walking on the catwalk.
Song Yang counted the bills in his hand, and his heart ached. Just today, he had spent hundreds of thousands of US dollars, which was more money than he had spent in the garage in several months.
"You should ask Gallo, this has nothing to do with me!"
Song Yang directly rejected all the allegations, causing Hailey to curse him as a scumbag, and even cursed Gallo, "All men are bad. I was crazy to believe your lies!"
"If I had known, I wouldn't have brought that Irene in today. Don't even think about asking me to bring my sisters to a party again in the future."
Hearing this, Gallo couldn't hold it in any longer, and quickly begged for mercy from Haley, then turned back to Song Yang and said, "Song, didn't you say you would invest in a Hollywood movie project?"
Haley also pricked up her ears. She had heard Gallo tell her that when Song Yang came back from San Francisco, he mentioned that he wanted to invest in a big movie in the future. Haley had been thinking about this for a long time.
Song Yang gave Gallo, the traitor, a middle finger. He said everything to Haley, "If there is a chance, I will invest in a movie. Haley will definitely get a role in the movie!"
Hearing this, Hailey was finally satisfied. Although it was still a blank check, within a few months, Song Yang became a nominal millionaire. Who dared to say that Song Yang would not really invest in a movie? !
With the addition of Ryan and Irene, Double Click's business was quickly set up, and the number of staff continued to increase like a snowball.
