Back To 1995

   Chapter 4 Steps (for collection)

   Now the technology frenzy has not yet begun, and the myth of the Internet making wealth is still unknown. Even Microsoft, Cisco and others have spent years to get to where they are today, and it is still too early to be a real giant.

As for Song Yang, not to mention, now Song Yang is just an ordinary student of Devers. In front of him, how can he enter a college in half a year, otherwise, wait for half a year After that, Song Yang would probably get a fast food restaurant like McDonald's or KFC, wasting years.

A clever woman is hard to cook without rice, and a penny beats a hero. Even if you know Yahoo and the like, but you want to hug your thighs, there is no chance at all. As for the investment, it is even more bullshit. How much money to pay, let alone make Greg willing to hand over the money to Song Yang to invest.

   Knowing his situation, Song Yang was even more helpless. Now he knew why so many people took risks for the first pot of gold.

  The first pot of gold is more like a key. Without this key, there is no way to go to the next step, and you can only be trapped in place.

   Walking on the streets of Houston and passing by the largest Bilbao Vizcaya Bank in the Houston area, Song Yang unconsciously glanced a few times.

   If he can get a sum of money now, just invest in those well-known tech giants, maybe in a few years, Song Yang will also be able to get the title of "stock god".

But it's impossible now. No one will give money to a little-known and unknown person, and he is a rookie boy who does not even have a professional economic license. If he invests in the so-called Internet concept industry, he will basically be regarded as a lunatic. That's it.

   Now let alone in other places, even in America, the concept of the Internet is a new thing, and many people regard this industry as a scam.

   After all, there are only less than 6 million netizens in America. This is already the region with the most Internet users in the world, and other regions can be imagined.

   After coming out of Devers School, Song Yang, who was a little depressed, came to an apartment.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman in a bathrobe, came out of the bathroom, and when she saw Song Yang, Hai Li, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, greeted Song Yang, "Song, I heard Gallo say. You are injured, you didn't hurt your face!"

   Seeing this bitch, she didn't look like a good person. Seeing Song Yang's depressed expression, Hai Li giggled and returned to Gallo's bedroom.

This apartment is Gallo's den, and it is also the place where the original Song Yang and others often gather for parties. Hailey is Gallo's girlfriend, and now she is a small model. There are many girls in the film and television industry, but there are not many who can really stand on the ground. More like Hai Li, who slowly hang out and wait for an opportunity that may not be available for a lifetime.

  Song Yang turned on a TV familiarly. Gallo's place is not big, but TVs, speakers, VCRs, Sony game consoles, etc. are all readily available, and there are constant parties on weekdays.

After a while, Gallo and Hailey came out of the bedroom together, took out a few bottles of wine from an old refrigerator, and handed it to Song Yang. One of the reasons why many men and women came here was the supply of wine. , after all, in other places, you can't sell wine to someone of Song Yang's physical age, but you can drink wine here.

Haili lit a lady's cigarette and entered this line. Haili also got into some bad habits, leaned on Gallo, and teased Song Yang, "Song, do you need me to introduce you to a girl? No worse than that I... Bella!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Hai Li finally remembered Ibera's name. She remembered that Song Yang brought the thin hemp pole to the apartment party. She was a model, so she knew a lot of girls in this line of work. With Song Yang's good looks, Hai Li It doesn't seem to be a problem at all. Compared with the male models she knows, her appearance is even higher than that of the male models, which is enough for those hoofs to follow each other.

   And by virtue of the opportunity to introduce Song Yang to those little hooves, Haili might be able to obtain some resources, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

   Being watched by Haili, Song Yang felt like he was being watched by wolves. He felt that Haili was not a good person, and he didn't know what would happen to the woman he introduced to him.

   hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, "This thing was provoked by that idiot Stanton. I'm not in the mood right now. I was transferred to the bench in the baseball team. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get recruited by the university!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Gallo raised his head. He naturally knew that Song Yang's original level of study was scumbag. He said that Gallo had been fooling around for a few years, and his grades were better than Song Yang's. Once he failed to get college recruitment in baseball , then Song Yang's university road is likely to be interrupted.

   "Are your motor nerves injured?" Gallo looked at Song Yang up and down. It was not uncommon for an athlete to suffer a serious decline in the game after an injury, but Gallo always felt that Song Yang seemed to have changed a bit these days, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

  Song Yang took a sip of his drink, "I don't know, but I can't get into the state of the game, maybe I need to slowly find the state!"

In the small apartment, the atmosphere was a bit dull for a while. Gallo and Hailey had already entered the society and were severely beaten by the society. They already knew how absurd the idea of ​​not going to college a few years ago was. Just bullshit.

Gallo thought that if he obeyed Gleick's arrangement and entered a university to major in law or finance, he should have interned at a law firm or Wall Street at this time, instead of working in a car repairing company with a racing car all day. The shop is busy.

  Haili also thought that if she has experience in art academy, whether it is to enter Hollywood or become a reporter on a TV station, the chances are far greater than being a wild model now!

   Now hearing that Song Yang might not be able to enter the university, Gallo and Hailey were a little dull for a while, Gallo patted Song Yang on the shoulder and had a cup of tea with Song Yang.

   At this time, someone came in the apartment again. A tall and thin man came in and sat on the sofa familiarly. Song Yang remembered that his name was Ryan and he was in the same racing company as Gallo.

   After sitting down, Ryan said to Gallo, "Here's a big job, Cole sent three Toyotas and we need to "repair"!"

   Cole is the leader of a small gang in Houston. The gang likes to have a red viper tattooed on their arms, so they are called the Red Snake Gang. Such small gangs are almost as numerous in America.

   It sounds like the Red Snake Gang, and it seems that Bigger is very tall. In fact, what he does is sneaky selling, stealing cars and reassembling them for a living.

This is obviously a "private job", but Gallo is no stranger to it. He now owns this racing company. It sounds like it mainly designs high-performance racing cars, but it costs money, no The big dog owners support research and development, and they can only find ways to raise funds by themselves.

  The auto repair shop is now the main business of the racing company, but sometimes it also takes on some high-profit "private jobs", and it is about to starve to death, where can I take care of other things.

  If that racing company failed to make a name for itself in the future, it would be fine, but if it succeeds, all the stains of today can be washed away, which is basically the first pot of gold!

  Gallo was talking to Hailey and Ryan, and they were going to hold a party at night. Well, the name was to celebrate Song Yang's return from injury, and it could even be related to Song Yang.

   Song Yang didn't pay attention to those. At the moment, he focused all his attention on the NBC TV station on TV. This is an economic talk show on NBC. The host is in the same studio with two people.

   One of them is a well-known investor on Wall Street, who mainly invests in traditional industries. At the moment, he is arguing with another person in the live broadcast room.

   "The Internet is a scam. Just like Netscape, which is being touted by the Silicon Valley gang, there is no profit model at all, and it cannot prove that it can survive!"

   This investor is mainly in traditional industries such as investment banking and aviation. He doesn't care about the Internet, which does not know when it will make money, and thinks it is a scam.

The one who was attacked was a professor of a network laboratory at a university in New York, avoiding the topic of profit and saying, "The United Network Committee of America has defined the Internet as a global information system. In the future, Internet users in America will be With a growth rate of 23%, as long as there are enough users, this market will definitely exist, and the future must belong to the world of the Internet!"

   This professor's vision is naturally excellent, but the investors on the opposite side are chasing after him, "How to make a profit? The investors invested the money in Netscape and those companies, how will they get it back in the future?"

  The university professor in the NBC studio was stunned with embarrassment. This is indeed a very real problem. The cake is indeed drawn, and it may not be edible.

Afterwards, the host of the show called the Wall Street analyst and asked him for his opinion. Basically, he was biased. He was very optimistic about the potential of the Internet, but he couldn't say how to make profits and return investors. To put it directly, after the listing in the future, the venture capital companies will directly cash out and run away? !

   Now the profit of the Internet software industry is basically based on selling software, just like Microsoft and Oracle, but in the entire Internet industry, how many Microsoft and Oracle have become irreplaceable existences on the Internet?

Song Yang's eyes were fixed on the TV, watching the investor named Christian Barnard on the TV, who was chattering nonstop, his mind was shaking, and a vague idea appeared in his mind, which made Song Yang a little bit. Hesitant and excited.

  The Internet can develop into later generations. One thing that makes countless Internet users hate, but supports the existence of Internet companies is indispensable, that is Internet advertising!

   Just like the importance of advertising to TV stations, without advertising, the TV media industry would not have developed to where it is today, and TV advertising has changed the media industry.

   The same is true for Internet advertising. Nearly half of the revenue of the major Internet giants in later generations comes from this.

Song Yang watched the TV, and he didn't even hear Gallo's cry. This was an opportunity. For Song Yang, it was an excellent opportunity. A key was placed in front of him, but he wanted to It's not that easy to get.

   Mengxin is looking for belts, collections, investments, comments, recommendation tickets, and all kinds of requests, gentlemen, please support me
