Chapter 45 This rookie is a bit fierce

Now Wesley's technical team can only be regarded as qualified to be honest. It is no problem to maintain the system or upgrade some functions, but it is a bit difficult to expect to develop two consecutive software in a short period of time.

Song Yang didn't have much time to spend, launching the Hotmail mailbox, Song Yang was going to quickly make the plate, and then find a big financial backer, take off his hands and cash it out immediately, it is impossible to waste too much time.

It is not impossible to recruit a team now, but to select people, or even poach people from Silicon Valley, not to mention the cost, just to get it together, I am afraid it will take another month, and finally launch the mailbox, it will take a year or so. It is possible, it is impossible for Song Yang to spend so long.

Song Yang was silent for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He thought of a person. If he were to be recruited into the Hotmail mailbox project, manpower and technology would not be a problem at all. Maybe even the funding problem would not need Song Yang's side. bother.

"You said, if you find Jotus and work with him on Hotmail?" Song Yang said.

Suddenly hearing the mention of Jotus, Greke, Irene, and Wesley couldn't help being taken aback, and then suddenly thought that this proposal doesn't seem to be unfeasible.

Wang An's company has technology, talents, and funds. If they cooperate with Wang An's company, the development of Hotmail mailboxes will not be a problem at all.

"I'll call Jotus, Wesley, you need to recruit people, and form another technical team to develop the ICQ project!"

Song Yang said to Wesley, at this time, you can see the benefits of Silicon Valley. In Silicon Valley, you don’t need to worry about technical talents at all. As long as you give money, you can pull out a team in the blink of an eye, and even the top technical experts. It's not impossible to come here.

In the small office, Song Yang discussed some details with Greg and Wesley. Song Yang will put the instant messaging and e-mail projects in the newly established company, completely separated from the double-click company, and the patents naturally belong to the new company. .

This time Song Yang asked Greg to formulate a perfect agreement, and even paid for a legal expert who was familiar with the Internet to come. Song Yang didn't want to do it again about Jayden's matter!

"If Martin Solo knew about it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so happy!"

After confirming it, Irene said, if Mr. Martin knew that Song Yang had set up his own company just after investing in Double-click Company, with Martin's strong character, he would definitely not be happy.

"Double-clicking the company has already given the WPP Group enough rewards!"

Song Yang just replied casually. To be honest, the more than 1000 million US dollars that Martin gave to Double-click Company is really crucial to Song Yang.

But Double-Click Company has also given WPP Group an excess return. Not to mention the soaring stock price of WPP after the investment, it is said that Double-Click Company is now negotiating a share exchange with Yahoo. WPP Group can also get [-]/[-] of the investment. Double-clicking the investment will definitely be one of the most proud investments in Martin, the king of mergers and acquisitions, in his life!

When Greg, Wesley and others stood up and left, Irene said to Song Yang, "I told Yahoo about the meaning of exchanging shares, and Yahoo didn't directly reject it!"

Song Yang nodded and didn't directly refuse, which means some talk. After all, Yahoo now doesn't exist a few years later. Although it got [-] million US dollars, it still feels a little guilty. Double-click the company, and dare not offend easily.

After thinking for a while, Song Yang picked up the phone, and soon Brady's voice came from the other end of the phone. Hearing the noise on the phone, he was obviously very busy.

Seeing that it was Song Yang calling, Brady knew what Song Yang was going to say, and said directly to the phone, "Song, I have talked to Yang and Ferro about this matter, and Yahoo is willing to deepen cooperation with Double-Click. Cooperation, we are brother companies!"

"Double-click is also very happy to have a partner like Yahoo," Song Yang asked after hearing Brady's words, "What exchange does Yahoo want?"

Now, after all, Yahoo's valuation has far surpassed Double-click, and Double-click took the lead in proposing an equity exchange, so Yahoo must have the initiative.

"Yahoo's 5% equity is exchanged for Double Click's 20% equity, and DoubleClick will add a cash of no less than $500 million!"

"Is Yahoo looting?!"

After hearing Brady's conditions, Song Yang couldn't help cursing, the conditions are not cheap at all, Yahoo is trying to take a bite out of double-clicking.

"Song, that's fair," Brady called Song Yang's name several times on the phone, "You know Yahoo now needs to consider the opinions of investors like Softbank and Sequoia, and it's Yang and Yang who exchanged shares with DoubleClick. I finally got Softbank to agree to talk!"

Yahoo now has a major shareholder. It is no longer the case that Yang Zhiyuan, Fei Luo, Brady and others can decide the future period of Yahoo after discussing with others. Now it is necessary to get the approval of the major shareholder Softbank to make a decision. OK.

Even so, Song Yang was not fooled by the words. Now that Yahoo is not listed, he doesn't believe that the founders of Yang Zhiyuan are made of mud.

"You have to explain to Softbank, and I also have to explain to WPP Group. If Martin knows that I agree to such conditions, do you think he will fly over from London with a team of lawyers?!" Song Yang said not to be outdone, The WPP group was moved out and told Brady that there were people above him.

There was a slight silence on the other end of the phone, apparently Brady was discussing with Yang Zhiyuan, Fei Luo and others.

After a while, the voice came back from the phone, "These conditions are fair, based on the valuation of the double-click company!"

"You know that the valuation of Double-Click is definitely more than that. Next year, Double-Click will be able to make a profit." Song Yang said, regardless of whether Double-Click is better than Yahoo, anyway, we can't lose at this time.

Brady chatted with Song Yang for a few more words, his tone slightly loosened, and finally said, "Song, if you really want to talk about this matter, then come to Mountain View, Silicon Valley, and bring a lawyer!"

After hanging up the phone, Song Yang felt that there was something to be said about this matter. Listening to Brady's words, Song Yang vaguely felt that Yahoo seemed to be asking for Double-Click, and asking Song Yang to go to Silicon Valley meant that Yahoo was willing to make concessions.

After calling Yahoo, Song Yang pressed a number again.

When Qiao Tusi received the call, he was very surprised. He didn't expect Song Yang to call him, "Song?!"

"Honestly, this phone call was beyond my expectation!" Joe Tus said with a smile on the other end of the phone. Tooth is quite proud.

"I said before, the previous cooperation between me and you, President Joe Tus, will not end easily!"

Song Yang said to Jotus on the phone, "I think your team may still lack a best rookie."

These words aroused some interest in Jotus, and a thought came to his mind, but he still said, "It seems that Song, you have a new plan?"

"There is a new plan, a new product that is absolutely different from any e-mail in the market today. I wonder if President Joe Tus is interested?"

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously thinking about it. In fact, Jotus was also a little surprised. He knew that Song Yang was touted by the media as an internet genius. Just a few glances at programming books to build an official website and the like.

Jotus has also seen those geniuses with his own eyes, but most of them are rumors. Like Song Yang, it seems that they will continuously launch new creative industries. Jotus has never seen them before. This rookie is a bit fierce!

"Of course Wang An is interested in investing. Which team can refuse a best rookie?"

Jotus said directly, "Song, what do you need?"

"Technical talents, some patents for e-mail, and some funds!" Song Yang was not polite at all. Anyway, he made up his mind to get the funds from Jotus.

After hearing this, Jotus also said, "You will get these, and I will go to Houston myself!"

After hanging up the phone, Song Yang heaved a sigh of relief. He finally got a clue about the two things of changing equity with Yahoo and Hotmail. After these two things are done, the next thing will be much easier.

In the evening, Song Yang drove a new car, and brought big bags and small bags of gifts that Irene had bought for him, and returned to the community where Greck's home was located.

When the roar of the Ferrari F50 sounded in this community, it still attracted a lot of attention. When they saw Song Yang driving this car, the young men and women in the community said that they were not envious. of a sports car.

And those middle-aged people, although they cursed that they would not learn well if they had money, they were very envious of Greg. Who knew that Greg, an old man who was in a middle-aged crisis, would actually turn around when he was middle-aged.

Neighbors in the community who are acquainted with Greg, they have already heard that Greg has become a partner of Josiah Law Firm, and may become the legal president of a listed company in the future. Became a member of the upper class that they used to "hate"...

Gallo came back with Song Yang. Dana, who opened the door, saw Song Yang and Gallo who came back together, and immediately called out to the sky, and then pulled Song Yang and Gallo into the house.

"You two still know to come back?!"

For Song Yang and Gallo's return, Dana was of course happy, but she still complained, "Gallo, you haven't been back for a long time, the last time I saw you, I went to your dilapidated apartment to clean your room, and Song, I heard Greg say, you rented an apartment, what do you all want to do, don't you want to stay here?!"

Listening to Dana's chatter, Song Yang and Gallo had become accustomed to it. Gallo sat down on the sofa, picked up a piece of fruit and gnawed, "You know we are very busy these days!"
