Back To 1995 - Chapter 861

   Chapter 861 Crossover

Media reporters who have participated in the launch of Alcatel P1 and P2 mobile phones, when they see the scene at the conference center today, have a feeling of witnessing history. After being reborn, the experience of becoming a mobile phone giant step by step!

What Alcatel has experienced in the past three years is enough for the technology industry. It took Ollila eight years to bring the dilapidated and crumbling Nokia back to the right track and sit on the iron throne of the mobile phone industry. , and Alcatel mobile phone rebirth from ashes, the time it takes to become a mobile phone giant is less than half of Nokia’s!

  Who dares to say that the Alcatel mobile phone in eight years will not surpass Nokia and other rivals, and will also sit on the throne of the Iron Throne?

   After all, Alcatel’s mobile phone revenue and profits are no worse than Nokia’s, and there are even rumors that it may surpass a number of old mobile phone giants.

Erin sat down and chatted with a group of acquaintances, including eBay President Whitman, Snow Mountain Games owner Williams and his wife, PayPal owner Aaron Swartz, PA Semiconductor boss Dober Poole, and others. call.

Regardless of the relationship in the past, on today’s occasion, in front of many media and reporters, Irene, Whitman, and the others must all show a pretty good relationship. Life is all about acting, and sometimes, face Kung fu still needs to be done.

After nodding and saying hello to a few people, Irene unexpectedly looked at the two people in the back row. When the two of them were still confused and didn’t respond, Irene held out a business card, “Very good. Nice to meet you!”

The two founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who were sitting in the back row, looked at the business cards in front of them, and were inexplicably invited. The two who attended the Alcatel mobile phone conference were a little surprised. Shock.

  Although they are about the same age, the gap between Larry Page and Brin in the technology industry now is not much smaller than the gap between the moon and the earth!

What is Google like now? It sold itself to Yahoo, but Yahoo didn’t want it. It wanted a million dollars to sell it to Excite search company, but it was disgusted by Excite President George Bell. go out.

   As for ICQ, after the acquisition of the Bronfman Group, the market value has reached 400 billion US dollars, becoming one of the giants with the highest market value in America and even in the history of global technology!

  Google placed in front of ICQ, really can not be said to have no sense of existence, at least it is similar to the comparison between elephants and ants, of course, Google is the latter…

As the president of ICQ, Irene actually handed them business cards, which made Sergey and Brin feel a little flattered and a little uneasy for a while, but also a little excited, because of this scene, the two of them have been transparent since childhood. , instantly got a lot of media attention, took pictures of the two, and inquired about their identities!

Holding Erin’s business card, Sergey and Brin, all kinds of thoughts popped up in their minds for a while, whether ICQ has an idea for Google, whether to invest in Google or even acquire it, for a company of ICQ’s level, even if A finger leaking out is enough for Google to live!

Although they have such an idea, Sergey and Brin are not sure that ICQ can look at Google. In fact, during this period of time, they have been hit hard. Google, Excite and other big companies have no interest in it. Google, Silicon Valley VCs, Wall Street investment banks, none of them can look up to Google, and they don’t dare to think about it, they can hug ICQ’s thigh.

  Irene handed Sergey and Brin a business card, then turned to look at Ertian, who had already walked to the stage.

Now there are so many people, Irene is inconvenient to talk to Sergey and the two of them. If I tell them now, Irene will throw away the annual salary of more than 21 million US dollars, plus dividends and bonuses, one year The position of ICQ president who can earn more than three or four thousand dollars and goes to Google as the CEO, let alone believe it or not, it is estimated that Sergey and both of them do not believe in this evil!

Google and Alcatel’s mobile phone conference were not at the same time. They were invited by Irene. Today, I just got in touch, and by the way, I will improve Google’s reputation. With today’s announcement, Irene took the initiative to hand over the business card. Google’s reputation is definitely It will skyrocket.

As for whether she is worried that Google will become famous, invest in another company, and be acquired by other venture capital or giants, Irene is not worried, as long as Sergey and Brin are a little more sober, they all know that they are choosing the most powerful Bruno Gang on the Internet today. When you are a backer, you should go to some cats and dogs for refuge.

With Song Yang’s record of no failure in the Internet industry, if Google can get Song Yang’s investment, and then Irene will serve as the CEO herself, with such a configuration, many Internet companies will be jealous to the point that their eyes are red. The bottom line is that you can experience the NASDAQ bell!

When Ertien took the stage, a whole row of long guns and short guns shot at him instantly. Today’s live and broadcast TV stations include ICNC, NBC, Houston TV, Texas TV, and San Jose TV. , San Francisco TV, etc. have come to a dozen.

ICNC’s newly released technology channel, today will definitely broadcast the conference live. The camera and configuration of ICNC TV are also the best in the audience. The on-site photographer first gave Eltien a close-up, and then the camera slowly Turn to the crowd of celebrities offstage.

There are a lot of celebrities and big names here today, and they must be photographed. Otherwise, how can we highlight the Bigglegow of today’s press conference, just like in the NBA game, if there is something wrong, we will give a close-up to the stars on the sidelines, On the one hand, it is to publicize these stars and prevent them from coming in vain. On the other hand, it also tells the attention that the team’s supporters are all big names, otherwise, which star will be willing to come next time.

When the camera turned to Erin, Doberpool, Whitman and others offstage, some people who watched the game through TV did not have much feeling, but when the camera passed Sergey and Brin , which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Yahoo headquarters, before Christmas, Yahoo’s market value has broken through 100 billion US dollars, after Christmas, it continues to soar, and now it is close to 120 billion US dollars. It is reasonable to say that Yahoo’s market value is not low. A proper giant company, but compared with the “enemy of life” ICQ, it is not enough.

  Looking at the Internet industry, ICQ’s current rivals are those who can compete with ICQ, that is, AOL and Microsoft. Yahoo is not among them, but Yahoo treats ICQ as an old enemy.

It’s hard to tell what Yahoo’s mentality is about ICQ, or rather, how he feels about Song Yang. Song Yang and Yahoo founder Yang Zhiyuan debuted at the same time. When he first debuted, Yang Zhiyuan’s “Yahoo Chief” was more famous than Song Yang. To be loud, Yahoo also has more morning listings than ICQ.

But now, I don’t know how life has become like this. Song Yang’s worth has long surpassed Yang Zhiyuan, and ICQ’s market value is almost equivalent to four Yahoos. , but there is nowhere to vent.

Regarding Song Yang’s affairs, Yahoo is very concerned about it. Although many companies and businesses in Song Yang’s hands are not involved in Yahoo, it does not prevent Yahoo from benchmarking itself with Song Yang. …

   “That’s the… Google guy!”

   In the conference room of Yahoo’s headquarters, the director in charge of Yahoo’s investment department, saw the two Sergeys flashing by on TV, and said suspiciously.

   Yahoo’s executives have changed several times a long time ago. The current executives are basically Wall Street people.

   Yang Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the conference room without saying a word, as well as Yahoo President Kuger and others also looked over.

   “It’s just a small search company that doesn’t matter. Their founders even threatened that Google’s search engine is better than Yahoo’s!

  I think they must have gone crazy and forgot what Yahoo does! “

   The person in charge of the investment department couldn’t help but said with a smile, as if he heard a joke, he laughed a few times, but saw that the meeting room was deserted, so he could only stop.

If Google didn’t show up at the Alcatel mobile phone conference and sat in a prominent position in the front row, Yang Zhiyuan and others wouldn’t care, but now that Google is sitting there, it shows that Google is favored by Song Yang. .

   After so many years, in the Internet industry, who would dare to question Song Yang’s vision?

   “At the time, Netscape didn’t look down on the newly established Double-click Company. Now, Netscape has disappeared, but Double-click still exists!”

Yang Zhiyuan responded coldly to the director of the investment department, but he felt uneasy in his heart. Song Yang is really optimistic about Google, which means that Song Yang is going to officially enter the search industry and be tough with Yahoo, even if Yahoo is in the search industry, It was the one with the upper hand, but Yang Zhiyuan was still a little worried!

   The same scene also happened in Excite. When George Bell, the president of Excite, saw that Google was the guest of honor at the Alcatel mobile phone conference, his right eyelid jumped for no apparent reason.

  Erthien stood on the court and held press conferences for several years in a row. Even if his ability to control the court was not as good as Jobs, it was enough to deal with the scene.

   A familiar opening remark, “I remember last year today, I made a promise to everyone that Alcatel Mobile will meet you every year in the future. Today, Alcatel P3 mobile phone, it’s here!”

   The same thing, which Erthien said last year, was followed by a burst of laughter, followed by a burst of applause.

   “Alcatel’s third-generation flagship phone, the P3 camera phone!”

  Ertian pointed to the screen behind him, and on the huge projection screen behind him, it appeared first on the screen, but it was a line of words, “Kill Kodak’s phone!”
