Chapter 151 Once entering the rivers and lakes as deep as the sea
Song Yang looked at the immature Evan Spiegel in front of him. A person of his background would definitely not just do it for a salary.
Facing Song Yang's gaze, Evan felt a little nervous unconsciously. The person in front of him was not a few years older than him, but he was definitely a big shot in the technology industry, and he could talk and laugh happily with Bill Gates, Mark Anderson, etc. characters.
"Boss, I hope ICQ or you can do more things instead of just being a technician!"
"What else?!" Song Yang asked with a smile. Last year, he said similar things when he came to seek cooperation with Netscape, Telephone and Telegraph Group, WPP and other companies, but he didn't mean it. It's hard to say.
Taking a deep breath, Evan finally said under Song Yang's gaze, "I hope to be able to do something, just like Mark Anderson or Boss, I hope to be able to buy what I want before I turn 25." A vehicle to buy, rather than rely on family handouts, I hope to be able to be..."
"America's youngest billionaire?!" Song Yang said what Evan Spiegel wanted to say but didn't dare to say.
Now in the technology industry, the titles of the youngest billionaire and the nominally youngest 500 million dollar billionaire belong to Song Yang. Last year, Song Yang was at the peak of his debut and at the age of less than 19, won the Lay down these laurels.
Even Evan Spiegel and countless young people in America in front of them were stimulated by Song Yang, and plunged into the quagmire of the Internet, trying to copy everything Song Yang did last year!
After being told by Song Yang, Evan Spiegel blushed. He didn't dare to admit it, but he didn't want to deny it. This was Evan's mind. It would take a few years to become the youngest billionaire in America. , surpassing the achievements of his parents in half a lifetime, and also proved to his father who quarreled because of his squandering, that he, Evan Spiegel, is not just squandering!
Song Yang looked at Evan Spiegel in front of him, and he could see great ambitions in his eyes. If it was in other industries, Evan Spiegel, who was just 17 years old this year, would probably Will scoff, but in the Internet industry, all that Evan Spiegel said is not far away...
Song Yang tapped on the table lightly, Evan Spiegel looked at Song Yang nervously, waiting for Song Yang's decision, Song Yang was willing to support him, maybe it won't be long before Evan can achieve everything he wants , if Song Yang is unwilling to support him, it may take a long time for Evan Spiegel to find the next opportunity.
"Maybe you need to wait for a while, I will reserve a place for you, and when you graduate from Stanford University, you can..."
Song Yang still wants Evan Spiegel to finish Stanford, hone some skills, and then come out of Stanford to endure the beatings of society.
But Evan Spiegel obviously didn't think so, "Boss, I am willing to come out of Stanford right now, I can complete all the tasks you have given me, I can do it..."
"You don't have to leave Stanford, you can try it first. ICQ needs to expand overseas markets. If you can cooperate with the marketing department and the operation department to complete the overseas market expansion, I think you should get something you want!"
Looking at the figure of Evan Spiegel leaving, Song Yang shook his head lightly. What kind of tricks Evan Spiegel can play depends on his ability. If he really can do anything, Song Yang Yang doesn't mind giving him more things, even giving him the position of an executive is not out of the question!
After Evan left with excitement, Marcus and Greg entered Song Yang's office.
"This Evan Spiegel is very special?!" Greg could see that Song Yang seemed to be very optimistic about this young man who suddenly appeared and recommended himself.
Song Yang said noncommittally, "He reminds me of me last year, maybe give him a chance, maybe I can get some special rewards!"
Song Yang skipped the topic and didn't talk about Evan Spiegel any more. He asked Greck and the two to come over, but he had something important to talk about.
"I am going to let the American Global Investment Foundation establish an investment department and start investing in other companies!"
Now in Song Yang's hands, there is a large sum of cash from Microsoft. In Song Yang's hands, several major industries have basically achieved balance of payments by double-clicking, and they can even make a small profit.
Hotmail e-mail, the local American brand has been sold, and Song Yang does not need to bear the cost. As for the overseas Hotmail e-mail brand, it is managed by those cooperative agents, and Song Yang basically does not need to bear the additional cost.
The one that needs Song Yang to post money is ICQ, but even if an ICQ swallows the golden beast, Song Yang's more than 100 million US dollars in cash will not be spent.
It is impossible for Song Yang to use this money to play some luxury houses, yachts, private jets and so on. To play with these, Song Yang's money is not enough to make it. If you pay a huge amount of tax, you must invest it.
Hearing that Song Yang was going to invest hundreds of millions of dollars, Greg's eyelids jumped. He had heard too many rich people in America, because the investment failed and the result was impoverished, which was worse than squandering the prodigal.
"Invest in other companies, should you think about it again?!" Greg reminded Song Yang, this is to make Song Yang think twice, don't be fooled by some people, when he said this, Greg looked at Ma Kus glanced at it, and it was self-evident who he was referring to.
Marcus agrees with Song Yang's proposal very much. He feels that Song Yang is completely different from the mainstream wealthy people in America, not to mention those who are extravagant. Song Yang has not bought a limited edition sports car, super luxury house, etc. The villas I live in are still rented, which is almost the only one in America.
Just say that those rich people will invest more or less, not to mention playing sports teams, they will also buy and invest in some industries, but Song Yang, in addition to his own industry, also exchanged a stake with Yahoo. Other than investing a penny at all, this is obviously not normal.
"Now the global technology industry is heating up. Last year, for the first time on the Forbes Rich List, rich people from the technology industry surpassed rich people represented by traditional industries. This means that the investment value of electronic technology, PC, Internet and other industries is constantly increasing!"
Marcus said to the mouth, "As long as enough reserve funds are reserved, I think investment can get a certain degree of high return!"
"What if there is a risk?!" Greg asked back.
Marcus responded, "There are always risks, but I think it is necessary to invest under controllable risks. Even if Song launches ICQ, I believe there are risks!"
Listening to the quarrel between Greck and Marcus, Song Yang tapped his fingers on the table, "The companies to invest in this time are still mainly in the technology industry. They will invest in or acquire several Internet companies. In addition, they will invest in electronics companies. Technology company!"
"America Global Investment Foundation is the first to invest in the American e-commerce industry. Marcus, I need you to find opportunities to invest in eBay and Amazon. If you can acquire them, you can make acquisitions!"
Hearing that Song Yang wanted to invest in an e-commerce company, Greg and Marcus frowned. Nowadays, in the Internet industry, e-commerce is not the mainstream at all, and there are even rumors of scammers, because there is no chance of profit. Manufacturers didn't even want to enter this industry, but they didn't expect to be targeted by Song Yang.
"I will look for opportunities to contact these two companies." Marcus said, he had to find out the status of these two companies before he could make a move.
"In addition to eBay and Amazon, I need the Americas Investment Fund to pay attention to the status of mobile phone brands and the mobile phone parts industry, including batteries, chips, screens and other companies. If there is an opportunity, the Americas Global Fund can also invest or Buy at a premium!" Song Yang continued.
Even Marcus was a little surprised this time. Both he and Greg heard the meaning of Song Yang's words. This is going to enter the mobile phone industry.
"Song, this is not a trivial matter, the mobile phone industry is not so easy to enter!"
Greg frowned and said that he has no experience in the electronic hardware industry, but the transition from the Internet to mobile phones is really too big, not to mention the mobile phone industry, there are two major overlords, Nokia and the local American brand Motorola , It's like two big mountains, people can't think of challenges.
In the past, it was not that there were no companies that challenged Nokia and Motorola beyond their means. The result is that, nearly ten years after the birth of mobile phones, the mobile phone industry is still dominated by Nokia and Motorola. Other mobile phone manufacturers are at most insignificant. That's all for the little princes, as for those challengers, many bones and scum are cold.
"There is no absolute thing in the world. Maybe one day Nokia and Motorola will fall down, or even be acquired!"
Song Yang said something like a joke, but Greg and Marcus didn't care about it at all. Now that Nokia and Motorola are in full swing, who dares to buy them, it's good if they don't get anti-takeover.
"The mobile phone industry will continue to explode in the future, not only in America, but also in overseas mobile phone markets. Even if you don't challenge Nokia and Motorola, as long as you can occupy a certain market, you can get enough returns." Song Yang turned to Gray Ke and the two said that they didn't say they wanted to provoke Motorola, they just said they wanted a piece of the pie.
Hearing this, Greg and Marcus breathed a sigh of relief. If it is true what Song Yang said, then investing in the mobile phone industry now may make a fortune.
Song Yang said so, but just like the Internet arena, the mobile phone industry is also a big arena, and they are all international players. But you can't stand someone attacking you, if you don't kill the big brother of the rivers and lakes, if you become the boss, you will never live in peace!
"In addition, I want to prepare a new project, and I need you to help this project, find some consultants from the Bank of America, Finance, Savings Supervision Administration, Insurance Supervision Administration and other departments!"
