Chapter 54: Vision
From now until the financing before IPO, it may be necessary to get a lot of money from Silicon Valley venture capital and Wall Street, which requires Song Yang to give those people another equity.
This is the rule of the game in America now. If you want to go public quickly, you have to feed those people on Wall Street.
Like Google in later generations, it was already profitable before it went public, so it was not so urgent to go public. However, it was finally listed under the "persuasion" of Wall Street. For this purpose, Google even specially organized a "Dutch auction" to sell Google's stocks issued before its listing, which was obviously intended to disgust Wall Street.
Before DoubleClick went public, Song Yang planned to raise about 10% of the equity for financing. To put it bluntly, he planned to sell it to Wall Street and let them escort DoubleClick to a successful listing.
Greg, Ryan, Wesley and Irene, as well as Gallo and other "veteran members" of Double Click Company, Song Yang will definitely give them equity rewards. This is the rule of the underworld, and it has been the same since ancient times, both in China and abroad. It's like being an emperor and giving titles to his subordinates. Otherwise, who would be willing to follow him in the future?
In addition, Song Yang plans to take out 5% of the shares of DoubleClick Company and put it into the charity foundation where Dana is currently located. He will also stuff all the members of the Bruno family into this foundation and treat them as members of the foundation. He will pay them a salary every month to avoid any trouble .
In America, no matter it is a wealthy family or a celebrity, once a person becomes rich, all relatives, known and unknown, will flock to him or her and treat him or her as a cash cow, resulting in too many bloody things.
For example, the families of celebrities, if they cannot get money from the celebrities, will slander them crazily on TV, newspapers and other media, and even accept money from their opponents to spread all kinds of rumors, in an effort to destroy the cash cow that does not give them money.
As for the Bruno family , with Greg around, Song Yang won't have to worry about anything unexpected happening. But it's hard to say what kind of people the other members of the Bruno family are like. After all, facing the temptation of US dollars, it's hard to say how many of them can resist it.
In order to solve future troubles in advance, Song Yang directly stuffed all the people from the Bruno family into the foundation. There was not much money, but they would not starve to death. If they wanted to do something, Song Yang would still support them. But if they expected Song Yang to be their cash cow and get luxury cars, villas, brand-name bags, jewelry and so on from Song Yang, they were dreaming too much.
While thinking about these things, Song Yang also felt a little tired and fell asleep in the cabin unknowingly.
Seeing Song Yang falling asleep, Irene, who was sitting beside him, looked at Song Yang's tired expression. Irene couldn't help but look at him a few more times. She unconsciously wanted to reach out and smooth out Song Yang's slightly wrinkled brows.
Irene thought Song Yang was worrying about the new project again. Irene now understands that whether it is the double-click company or the new project, it is basically driven by Song Yang. Without Song Yang, this makeshift team would probably collapse immediately.
Compared to what Song Yang is doing now, his peers are still trying hard to get tickets to a party.
Even among those so-called geniuses, Irene felt that there were very few who could compare with Song Yang. Looking at Song Yang, Irene unconsciously wanted to reach out her hand.
But before Irene could reach out her hand, Greg's eyes were fixed on her. Irene glanced at Greg unhappily and covered Song Yang with a blanket.
Irene didn't know why Greg always disliked her. His vigilance towards her was too obvious. He hinted and reminded Irene more than once that she should not cross the line as an assistant. He was reminding Irene not to go from being an assistant in the office to being an assistant in Song Yang's bed!
Greg was naturally wary . He always felt uneasy that a girl like Irene, who had received higher education and came from a privileged family, was willing to be with Song Yang.
If it was just an ordinary golden cat asking for some clothes, jewelry, etc., Greg would naturally not worry. But for a girl like Irene, if she had ulterior motives, Greg was worried that the Bruno family's industry would be in danger. So Greg was naturally worried about Irene getting close to Song Yang.
Greg naturally hoped that Song Yang could marry a traditional Italian girl, but Song Yang's identity was now very different from before. Even as his uncle, he had to consider Song Yang's attitude. Greg couldn't say much about who Song Yang chose, but Greg would never agree with someone like Irene!
Song Yang, who was sleeping in his dream, had no idea that Irene and Greg had started a new round of secret war.
However, after this sleep, Song Yang completely recovered. After getting off the plane, Gallo had already driven the Ferrari F50 to greet him.
"Erin, please arrange for someone to receive Qiaotus first. I will formally meet with Qiaotus tomorrow!"
Although he was a little anxious about the new project, Song Yang did not rush over in a hurry. As the saying goes, if you rush, you won't get the deal. If you are impatient, you can't eat hot tofu. Qiaotus is not an ordinary person. The more anxious he is, the more he will suffer.
"Song, I've found a new villa. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. It's really hard to find one according to your conditions!"
As Gallo put his arm around Song Yang's shoulder and got into the car, he excitedly began to talk about the new residence he had found for Song Yang. He also mentioned how much effort he had put into finding this house and how his feet had blisters on them.
"I'll leave a room for you and allow you to hold a party once a month!" How could Song Yang not know what Gallo wanted to say? Song Yang knew all his tricks.
When Gai Luo heard this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, "Song, you really understand me!"
Song Yang does not plan to live in this house for a long time. He will definitely buy properties in Silicon Valley, New York, etc. in the future. Even in Houston, Song Yang will definitely buy other properties in the future, so his requirements are not high.
The car drove into a community near the University Town of Houston, which is considered an old wealthy area in Houston. However, like the University Town, the houses in this community are inevitably a bit outdated in design compared to those in the emerging wealthy areas.
However, the scenery of this community is quite nice, with many trees and complete supporting facilities.
When the car stopped in front of a Spanish-style villa, a man had already been waiting there. When he saw Song Yang getting off the car, his eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward.
"Song, it's really you. I didn't expect the buyer would be you!" Upon seeing Song Yang , the real estate agent in front of him immediately said enthusiastically. People in their line of work, apart from real estate prices, usually care most about news about various celebrities and wealthy people.
Song Yang, a newly-crowned multimillionaire in Houston, is the focus of attention of local real estate companies in Houston. Compared with other old-time wealthy people, young wealthy people have much stronger spending power. In other words, they are more likely to squander their wealth after suddenly becoming rich...
