Chapter 70: Obvious
Regardless of whether there is a bubble or not, it is enough to take advantage of this favorable wind and list the Double Click Company. As for other things, Song Yang does not care.
Now more and more people are joining in this game, and the balloon will become bigger and bigger. In the end it depends on who can be more skilled and run away before the bubble bursts!
"So, DoubleClick will become the company with revenue second only to Netscape in the American and even global Internet industry?" Song Yang recalled the data he had just seen and asked Ryan.
Speaking of the much-hyped Internet industry, there are very few companies that can make money. DoubleClick has quietly become one of the best and most profitable companies in the Internet industry.
Of course, this is only a comparison of revenue. In fact, DoubleClick is not making any money now, but its losses are less than those of Yahoo and other companies. After all, DoubleClick's servers and operating costs are much lower than those of Netscape and Yahoo.
But under the current rules of the Internet game, high revenue and low losses are not favored by Silicon Valley and Wall Street. They value traffic and users more. Whoever has more users and more daily traffic will be more popular. This makes major websites desperately advertise to each other to attract people...
Ryan nodded to Song Yang with a little excitement and said, "If we follow the current estimates, DoubleClick Company may be able to make a profit next year!"
Looking at Ryan's expectant expression, Song Yang naturally knew what he wanted. After Netscape went public, the net worth of those who followed Netscape skyrocketed. Who wouldn't want to be the second Netscape?
After taking a look at Ryan, Song Yang said without hesitation, "Once DoubleClick Company starts to make a profit, we will immediately start sprinting to Nasdaq!"
We have to give Ryan, Wesley, Irene and other DoubleClick management some hope. Under the banner of the world's first profitable Internet company, DoubleClick should be popular after going public, even if it cannot compete with Netscape and Yahoo, and it can reap some profits...
Hearing this, Ryan nodded heavily. He could get equity incentives from DoubleClick Company. Once it went public, his net worth would skyrocket, so he was naturally willing to work hard.
Song Yang and Ryan talked for a long time. In the future, Ryan would basically be in charge of the New York branch of DoubleClick. However, this was the top priority. If unexpected happened, the revenue from New York would account for one-third or even a little more than half of the total revenue of DoubleClick, so Song Yang needed to be prepared.
However, this will not be the last time to establish a branch. Companies like Netscape and Yahoo have begun preparing to enter markets such as Canada, Europe and even Asia. Once DoubleClick has established a foothold in the Americas, it will definitely establish branches in Europe, Asia and other places.
After staying in New York for a few days and waiting for the New York Double Click Department to stabilize, Song Yang and Jenny returned to Houston after a detour to San Jose.
The University of San Jose naturally did not hinder Song Yang's arrival, and was even a little surprised. They did not expect that Song Yang would choose the University of San Jose instead of Stanford next door.
However, regarding the joining of a multi-millionaire, the University of San Jose did not hesitate at all and quickly completed the procedures for Song Yang, as if they were afraid that Song Yang would realize it and run away.
After getting off the plane at Houston Airport, Song Yang sent Jenny home and returned to the new villa.
Dana has moved into the new villa with Milia and Logan. Although she says that it is not worth it for Song Yang to spend nearly one million US dollars to buy this villa, Dana has already planted bouquets of flowers in the small back garden of the villa.
"Auntie Dana!" After Song Yang went in, he put the gifts he brought aside.
"You bought so many gifts again, Little Milia is going to be spoiled!" Dana was very happy to see Song Yang. She muttered something to herself, but still hugged Song Yang.
After carefully watching Song Yang for a while, he was relieved to see that he had not lost weight like last time in the garage. He turned around, put on his apron and walked to the kitchen. He shouted at Song Yang and Gallo who was showing a Disney movie to Little Milia in the living room, "Everyone must stay home for dinner today. No one is allowed to run away!"
After yelling, Dana went to the kitchen humming the tune of an Italian song. Gallo stood up and asked Song Yang, "How is it this time? The media in Houston are all reporting on the news of Netscape's listing, and you and Jenny are also there!"
"It's OK, but Netscape is no longer the same Netscape!"
Song Yang responded casually and sat down next to little Milia, who pouted and turned her head away deliberately.
After Netscape went public, many new changes began. The huge valuation gave Netscape greater ambitions. Just as Anderson said at the celebration party that night, Netscape wanted to be more than a browser, it wanted the entire Internet!
After going public, Netscape released a series of blockbuster news, which kept its stock price rising. Netscape first announced its cooperation with SUN, and then there was news that it had reached an agreement with AOL and IBM. Netscape's ambition to develop an operating system became almost obvious.
On the other hand, Netscape's attitude towards its partners also began to change. Previously, Yahoo was Netscape's search provider, but now there are rumors that Netscape is going to introduce a new search provider, which makes Yahoo very dissatisfied.
Song Yang didn't know whether this was Jim Clark's imperial intention to suppress Yahoo, which had been jumping around so happily recently, or whether he really wanted to turn against Yahoo. He must have known that Yahoo was at a critical moment in its sprint to go public, and at this time, the news that Netscape had changed its search provider could be imagined as a huge blow to Yahoo.
Not only Yahoo, Netscape is also "raising" its requirements for DoubleClick. Although it did not directly threaten to change advertising suppliers like it did to Yahoo, Netscape also expressed dissatisfaction with the advertising unit price of DoubleClick. Netscape believes that advertisements placed on Netscape should be more valuable because they are Netscape!
In just a few days, with Netscape's listing, the waters of the Internet began to become turbid. Song Yang shook his head and drove these thoughts from his mind. It was useless to worry about these things now.
Song Yang pinched Millia's little face. Millia, whose face was pinched by Song Yang, still turned her head away with an expression that showed she didn't want to see Song Yang.
"Who made our little Princess Millia angry?!" Song Yang took out the gift he brought back for Millia from New York.
She took a look at the gift with her eyes rolling, resisting the urge to open it. Little Milia still pouted, "Sister Hailey is right, men are all liars. I promised to go to the Fighting Entertainment City!"
Song Yang's face turned dark when he heard this and he glared at Gallo. He wondered what Haley had said in front of Millia.
However, after listening to Millia's words, Song Yang was indeed a little embarrassed. It seemed that he had promised her to take her to Toys R Us, the largest super amusement mall in Houston, but he had never had time to do so.
"This Sunday, I promise, if I can't do it, you will burn the football star cards that Gallo has hidden!" Song Yang promised Milia.
Now it was Gallo's turn to be upset. He didn't know how this matter involved him. Song Yang glared at Gallo. It was all Haley's fault for teaching Millia bad things.
After getting Song Yang's promise, Milia took the gift. This time she no longer pouts and starts to stick to Song Yang again.
"Song, can we come and talk?!" At this time, Gai Luo came close to Song Yang and spoke to him as if he had something to hide.
As soon as he saw Gallo's expression, Song Yang knew that something must have happened to him, so he stood up and said, "Let's go to the study !"
On the villa side, in addition to having more rooms, there are also two study rooms, one was given to Greg and Song Yang also got a study room.
However, the bookshelves in this study are still empty, with only a computer on the table. Song Yang uses this place as a temporary office.
After arriving at the study, Gallo was still rubbing his hands. Song Yang did not urge him. After a while, Gallo finally spoke, "Song, do you have time to go to my racing company?"
If Gallo hadn't mentioned this, Song Yang would have almost forgotten about that company that was operating a car repair stand under the guise of racing car design.
"I'll go over there?" Song Yang asked doubtfully, "What happened?"
Gallo's expression was complicated and a little awkward. "It's about some investment matters."
After he finished speaking, Gallo looked down at the ground. It was obvious that he felt a little embarrassed. "Song, you don't have to go!"
Song Yang looked at Gallo and vaguely understood something. He patted Gallo on the shoulder and said, "Tomorrow, after DoubleClick has dealt with the matter, I will go there!"
After Ryan went to New York, Irene, the young assistant, took over the work left behind by Ryan. In addition, as Song Yang's assistant, she began to oversee almost all the affairs of the Double Click headquarters. She almost played the role of general manager of the Double Click headquarters.
Greg has been staying here these days just to keep an eye on Irene. He is very dissatisfied with Irene's overall control of the headquarters.
Seeing Song Yang arrive at DoubleClick, Greg came over immediately and said, "DoubleClick needs to find a new general manager, otherwise this place will be managed by that woman!"
Song Yang had a headache. He didn't know why Greg and Irene didn't see eye to eye. "Even if we look for a general manager, it will take time. Someone has to take care of DoubleClick's affairs first!"
If it was just Double Click Company, then Song Yang would naturally handle everything, but now there are so many things to do, Hotmail mailboxes, ICQ projects, and America Movil all need Song Yang to keep an eye on. It is impossible for Song Yang to handle every detail of Double Click Company's affairs. Among the people who can be used now, the tallest one among the short ones is Irene.
"Double click here, Uncle Greg, you and Irene keep an eye on it first!"
After saying that, Song Yang went straight upstairs to the Hotmail project department. He wanted to know the current development status of the Hotmail and ICQ projects.
After passing through two newly installed password doors, Song Yang arrived at the Hotmail mailbox project department.
On a computer, Song Yang entered a URL and entered a slightly familiar web page. This was the web interface of the Hotmail mailbox!
