Chapter 53 Two Tigers Fighting

  Regardless of the personal relationship between Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan, when it comes to the dispute between Yahoo and DoubleClick, it cannot be decided by the relationship between Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan.

When Yahoo develops in the future, it will develop into instant messaging, e-commerce and many other fields. This is the natural law of big fish eating small fish. It is impossible to stop. At that time, Song Yang will still be able to follow Yang Zhiyuan like today It is true to continue to drink tea, but the industries under the two sides are probably out of their minds!

   When Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan finished signing the equity swap, people on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

   At this time, Yahoo did not feel that it was at a disadvantage, but was quite happy. After the equity exchange with Double-click, Yahoo could start bragging and create momentum for the listing!

   As for Double-Click, besides hoping that the 5% stake in Yahoo would be worth a lot of money, the other thing is that it is tied to Yahoo, making Double-Click more powerful than other competitors in the industry.

   If it weren't for Netscape's reluctance to exchange equity, Double-click would have married this current leader in the Internet industry without preparation!

  After signing the agreement, Yahoo immediately released the news of the equity swap between the two parties, and immediately became the focus of the Internet industry that day.

The news that came out afterwards made the entire Silicon Valley lose its voice. Yahoo released the news that it had reached a two-year advertising revenue of 45 million US dollars with Double-Click, which means that within two years, Yahoo's digital advertising revenue broke through. Forty-five million dollars!

This is really putting satellites on. You know, even Netscape only dares to shout about next year's digital advertising revenue. If it breaks 10 million US dollars, the cowhide is already not small. When it comes to Yahoo, it will be overturned directly. nearly five times.

  Netscape headquarters, hearing the news from Yahoo, Mark Anderson hurried to Jim Clark's office, "Jim, what are they going to do with the news from Yahoo?"

  Netscape was in a critical period of going public. At this time, it was suddenly robbed of the limelight by Yahoo. The key point was that Yahoo was faintly stealing Netscape's status as a leader in the arena, which made Mark Anderson a little dissatisfied and uneasy.

  Jim Clark of the old Jianghu was not in any hurry, looking at the angry Mark Anderson, "Calm down Anderson, don't worry, Yahoo can't influence Netscape, and Yang Zhiyuan can't replace you as a Silicon Valley hero!"

   "Jim, I didn't mean that..."

Being told by Jim Clark, Anderson was a little embarrassed. He is now at the age when he likes fame and fortune the most. This year, the major media are touting his status as a "Silicon Valley Technology Hero". Suddenly, a "Yahoo Chief" appeared, It inevitably made Anderson a little anxious.

   "Double-click company, and our young collaborator Song, do you have any news?" Jim asked Anderson.

  Anderson didn't know that at this time, Jim didn't want to do anything to put pressure on Yahoo, but instead paid attention to what Song Yang was doing.

   Speaking of Song Yang who got involved with Yahoo, Anderson is also dissatisfied now, "I heard that after exchanging shares with Yahoo, I went to San Jose to buy land. As the media said, Bruno Song is a farmer!"

   "Didn't accept media interviews?"

  Anderson shook his head in a daze when asked. I don't know how Anderson asked this. He is good at technology, but when it comes to the twists and turns, he can't compare with Jim, an old world.

   Jim Clark smiled and shook his head, he had already guessed the routine played by Yahoo.

   "Jim, what did you find?" Anderson couldn't help asking, looking at Jim who was not in a hurry.

Jim looked at the tender Anderson, "If I'm not wrong, Yahoo didn't come up with any revenue agreement with Double-Click Company, and the $45 million in revenue was also called out by Yahoo. Double-Click Company Didn't say anything?!"

  Anderson couldn't help being taken aback. He just wasn't familiar with the routine. Hearing Jim's words, Anderson couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is Yahoo the same as Netscape? How dare they...?"

Anderson felt that Netscape was bold enough. In order to go public, it shouted out digital advertising revenue of up to tens of millions of dollars. This is outrageous, and Yahoo is even more ruthless. Ready to cut hard.

   "Jim," Anderson blinked, and said to Jim Clark, "Do you think we should release the news..."

   "Don't move for the time being." At this time, Netscape's move would definitely disgust Yahoo, but Jim Clark didn't want to cause extra problems, "Now everything is dominated by Netscape's listing!"

   "We are Netscape. After Netscape's IPO is completed and freed up, whether it is Yahoo, other competitors, or Double-click, it will not be a problem for Netscape!" Jim Clark said with strong confidence.

Now Netscape is indeed the leader in the Internet industry. Jim Clark naturally has countermeasures against Yahoo's looming threat. Netscape is now the largest traffic portal in America. As long as the built-in Yahoo search is canceled, Yahoo will lose With a large amount of traffic, Jim is sure to make Yahoo bow.

Song Yang doesn't care about the undercurrent between Yahoo and Netscape. Right now, these things don't have much to do with Song Yang. Whether it's Netscape or Yahoo, there are a large group of investment institutions and financial groups behind both sides. , the double-click company is just following behind to drink soup, acting as a tool for the two companies to increase their valuation...

In San Jose, Song Yang stayed for two days and selected a few plots. Then he called Song Yang from Houston. Joe Tus and people from Wang An Company had already arrived in Houston. Song Yang did not expect that Joe Tus It came so fast, so I had to pick two lots and hurried back to Houston.

After getting on the plane, Song Yang thought about the gains of this trip. Apart from the two lands in San Jose, the biggest gain is the 5% equity of Yahoo. When Yahoo was at its peak, this equity was close to 6 billion Beautiful knife!

I just don't know how Coorg will explain to Yahoo's Wall Street directors at that time, and whether he will be kicked out in advance. Those Wall Street vampires don't care what Coorg did before. As long as the media reports it, it's him Agreeing to exchange shares with DoubleClick, then Coorg will definitely be troubled by Wall Street directors.

   Sitting on the plane, Song Yang is also thinking about the double-click company now, and continuously give up the equity, so that the equity of the double-click company in Song Yang's hands will also decrease in a straight line.

Transferring 25% of the shares to WPP Group, and exchanging 13% with Yahoo, it seems that Song Yang still has 62% of the shares in his hands, which seems to be a lot, but until the Double-click company goes public, Song Yang will continue to take out shareholding.
