Chapter 201
Chapter 201 People are floating in the rivers and lakes
Seeing Song Yang, Tristan immediately stood up with a smile on his face. Song Yang in front of him, Tristan can be said to have watched Song Yang step by step to today.
"Professor Albert!"
Song Yang introduced Tristan and Albert. Although Tristan looked like a troll on the TV station, in front of academic colleagues, Tristan was full of big stars.
One of the two is Song Yang's real mentor in name, and the other is a spiritual mentor. Albert and Tristan are also looking at each other.
"I've heard it for a long time, the youngest economic Nobel Prize candidate in America!" Tristan, who was still slick, spoke first, and complimented Albert.
Albert smiled wryly and shook his head. It was flattering for Albert a few years ago, but now it is a shackle.
He has accompanied the Nobel Prize in Economics for many years, but he is still a "candidate". Albert is really afraid of this status. From now on, he has been accompanying him until he retires, just like someone in Japan who wrote "Norwegian Forest" The author of the book, who has been with the Nobel Prize for 15 years, can be called an evergreen candidate for the Nobel Prize...
In a few years, whoever dares to say this to Albert again will not be flattering, but scolding. Whoever says Albert is talking to someone.
As soon as he sat down, Tristan couldn't help attacking Song Yang, "Song, I saw the Chicago futures investors on Wall Street. Regarding your complaints, your American Telecom has reshuffled the Chicago futures market. !"
He said that Song Yang was being dishonest, but the smile on Tristan's face was almost covered with creases, which showed how happy Tristan was about this matter.
Tristan, who was invited to the University of San Jose today to give a lecture on the Internet landscape in America, could barely hide the smile on his face at the moment.
"Song, do you still remember that Christian Barnard?" Tristan said with a smothered smile. Double Click Company!"
Speaking of this, Tristan has a feeling of revenge. Last year, Tristan hadn't unlocked the skill of talking, but he was an old professor of computer science at New York University. In order to get R&D funds, he went to the TV station for The Internet waved its flag so that the Silicon Valley funders could invest some funds for his laboratory.
As a result, as soon as he appeared on the TV station, he was stunned by Christian Barnard. Tristan has always been obsessed with this episode.
The appearance of Song Yang gave Tristan confidence. Now Tristan can be said to be America, the most well-known scholar in the Internet field. No matter whether he is really good or not, his reputation is definitely the highest!
"That Barnard complained to Song you on the TV station a few days ago. His investment company spent tens of millions to buy the line seat of America Telecom!"
Thinking of Christian Barnard, who was furious on TV, constantly scolding Song Yang and America Telecom as "vampire" Barnard, Tristan felt relieved for a while. The more he scolded, the more he suffered.
Hearing Tristan mention Barnard, Song Yang couldn't help but think of the fat man he had seen on TV once. Song Yang's eyes were weird. , and shined a light on America Telecom's revenue. This is simply a model of the times!
Hearing that Song Yang and Tristan mentioned the telecommunications industry, Albert shook his head and said, "Our leader, the new telecommunications bill is really..."
As one of the top economists in America, Albert's ability is beyond doubt, otherwise he would not have become the youngest professor of economics at the University of San Jose.
What exactly is the new telecommunications bill? Albert can see through it at a glance. Albert reminded Song Yang, "Now the Internet and telecommunications industries are approaching a period of frenzy, and major Internet companies and telecommunications companies are borrowing money to develop With mergers and acquisitions, but during the frenzy period, there will always be a day when it subsides!"
Regardless of whether it is a troll or not, Tristan still has a few brushes. Hearing what Albert said, Tristan frowned, "Professor Albert, do you think the Internet market will weaken?!"
Tristan is a staunch supporter of the Internet industry. This is his job. He will definitely not pour cold water on the Internet. Tristan's prediction is that the Internet industry will enter the entire America and become the largest technology industry in America in the world. Before that, there was no bubble at all, just insignificant "small bubbles" generated during the development process.
Albert shook his head, "I'm just saying that it's possible. It's easy to blow a bubble, but it's not so easy to maintain it, or even blow it up. not!"
"No," Tristan also shook his head, "This is indeed the case in the past experience, but the Internet is different. It not only consumes funds, but also creates new value. Telecommunications, as the foundation of the Internet, must be developed..."
For a while, Albert and Tristan were fighting each other. Albert believed that the Internet and the telecommunications industry had bubbles, but Tristan didn't think so, and believed that the Internet was just beginning.
Albert has strength, Song Yang is not surprised, but Tristan makes Song Yang feel admiration, did not expect Tristan to have such strength besides lip service.
"Professor Albert, Professor Tristan!" Song Yang coughed and stopped the two who were arguing more and more fiercely.
Hearing this, Tristan stopped arguing, took a sip of coffee, and then turned to look at Albert, "Professor Albert, how long do you think the Internet industry bubble you just mentioned can last?" ?!"
Tristan is leading Albert's army. Although there are many predictions made by gods, it turns out that most of them are predictions that have been slapped in the face. Those who have been whipped to death for countless years.
Although there are only Song Yang and the others here, Tristan's mouth can make this prediction known to everyone in America, and even appear in his memoirs.
"No more than five years," Albert frowned, and finally gave his prediction after thinking for a while, "If this is a bubble, it will definitely be burst within these five years!"
Hearing this, Tristan was no longer aggressive, and Song Yang could even see a flash of worry on Tristan's face.
Five years seems like a long time. Tristan can also say that Albert is lying, but in America, the time after five years is too special. At that time, it happened to be the time for the new commander-in-chief Once Xiangdang gains power, I am afraid that it will not care about the life and death of the Internet industry, which is the current leader's contribution, and even wish to kill a number of Internet companies in order to expand Xiangdang's influence in the core industry.
"I will wait and see. If I lose, I will go on TV in New York and admit my mistake to Professor Albert!" Walking in the rivers and lakes, how can he not be knifed, anyway, even if the Internet is dirty, he can't leave. It's better to create an image of a staunch supporter of the Internet and gain a group of supporters.
Hearing that Tristan made the bet, Albert couldn't help but smile. He didn't have any dissatisfaction with Tristan, but now he has some appreciation for Tristan. It can still be so thick, Albert is a little far behind.
"Similarly, if the Internet industry in America does not collapse within five years, I mean, more than half of the Internet companies that have gone bankrupt, I am willing to teach you to Tristan on TV and admit that I made a mistake in my prediction!" Albert He didn't take advantage of Tristan, and gave a definition of the Internet crash in his mouth, that is, half of the Internet companies in America are dead.
"Song, what do you think?" Tristan suddenly asked Song Yang.
Song Yang was asked for a while, and he was a little embarrassed. How did he answer this thing? Although Song Yang also likes to cut leeks, it is a disaster for Wall Street and those institutions. Song Yang has no malicious intentions for ordinary leeks. Always advocating the Internet will definitely let more leeks into the pit.
But if there is a bubble in the Internet, then Song Yang is an enemy of the entire Silicon Valley. If there is instant noodles, then Double-click, which is about to go public, will be questioned by the outside world whether there is also a bubble.
"I am only on the side of the winner. I think Double-click and other companies I invest in going public in the future will also become winners!"
Song Yang uttered a sentence that made Tristan and Albert burst into laughter. Song Yang didn't care whether other colleagues died, as long as the companies established and invested by Song Yang could survive.
However, when he came out of the small coffee shop, Song Yang couldn't help thinking that he had to start making preparations in advance, otherwise the game would really crash one day, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
And in an interview with a media that night, Tristan mentioned the bet with Albert. As the most popular word in America today, anything related to the Internet has attracted much attention.
When these words came out of Tristan's mouth, the media immediately began to fiddle with the topic of whether there is a bubble in the American Internet, and when it will burst. After all, the Internet is always touted, and the audience will also It will be boring, and there are occasional voices of opposition, which can attract more ratings. Suddenly, some media began to fan the flames.
The debate over this kind of prediction is basically nonsense, just like predicting an avalanche. Before there is an avalanche, it is useless to say more, let alone the prediction after five years.
But this kind of dispute has no effect on the Internet industry, which has started to be in a frenzy. Nasdaq has not even made a splash, and once again set a new index high for the year.
The same is true for the telecommunications industry. Just when Song Yang left the University of San Jose and went to the suburbs of San Jose to see the building of the Americas Global Investment Foundation under construction, the telecommunications industry suddenly broke out two large sums of money in one day. Acquisition!
MFS suddenly announced that it has reached an acquisition agreement with UUNET!
