Chapter 26 The Wisher Takes the Bait

  Grek and the others on the other end of the phone, after hearing Bartley's words, couldn't help cheering up, and looked towards Song Yang.

Hearing Bartley say this, Song Yang knew that he was going to get to the point, "Manager Bartley is really well informed. Double-Click Company needs some funds to open up more markets. You know, Double-Click Company is now an online company. Jing, Yahoo's digital advertising general agency!"

   Regarding financing, although Song Yang is not an experienced old bird, he still knows the rules of selling things, that is, Wang Po sells melons and sells her own bragging, no matter whether the rags in her hands are worth or not, she will brag about it first.

According to Song Yang's words, it's the double-click company. It's not because of lack of money that it's raising money, but because the market is booming. For the better development of the double-click company, it's "forced" to raise money. In the end, I didn't forget to move out of Netscape , Yahoo these two backers.

  Batley said to Song Yang under the instruction of the staff of the Telephone and Telegraph Group's investment department, "Of course, the Telephone and Telegraph Group also supports Double-Click Company, otherwise they would not have given the first digital advertisement to Double-Click Company!"

   "For better cooperation between the two parties, the Telephone and Telegraph Group is willing to extend a helping hand to Double-Click Company. If Song is willing, you can come to New York and sign this agreement. I believe you will be absolutely surprised."

Bartley looked at the note handed over by the investment department, and continued to say into the phone, "Song, I want to congratulate you in advance, the new generation of multi-millionaires in America, the Telephone and Telegraph Group is willing to invest eight million dollars in Double-Click Company, In exchange for 51% of the shares!"

The voice from the phone made everyone in Song Yang's office feel a little dazed. Needless to say, Gallo almost jumped up when he heard Bartley say $8 million, rubbing his hands nervously He looked at Song Yang.

   This is eight million dollars, a figure that an ordinary person in America can't earn in two lifetimes!

Greg was not much better, and his breathing became short of breath. The largest amount he had ever dealt with was a divorce case involving 400,000 dollars, but now 8 million dollars appeared in front of him. As long as Song Yang said a word, it would be within reach. and.

   Kaiwei Lane, Wesley, and Irene all looked at Song Yang with rapid heartbeats, and it was Irene who reacted first.

  Irene suppressed her excitement, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then whispered to Song Yang, who was a little dazed, "Telephone and Telegraph Group, this is to acquire Double-Click Company!"

After being reminded by Irene, Song Yang also began to slowly regain his composure. If he said that $8 million was in front of him, he would be lying if he didn't want to be tempted. Yanjing bought a dozen courtyard houses, and building a palace garden probably only cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Even in Song Yang's previous life, this is an astonishing amount of wealth. Song Yang has never encountered such a large amount of wealth in his two lives. With a nod of Yang's head, it completely belongs to him!

  Irene's reminder made Song Yang slowly come back to his senses, remembering the conditions put forward by Bartley, the Telephone and Telegraph Group, this is preparing to buy in one fell swoop and get the controlling stake in Double-click Company.

For a while, Song Yang fell into a struggle instead, and rationally told Song Yang that the valuation of Double-click Company was definitely more than 16 million US dollars, backed by Netscape, Yahoo, and even luck, if it could be listed, If more than half of the equity is sold today, it will become one of the most expensive investments in the history of the Internet. Maybe Song Yang will be ridiculed for his lack of vision.

  But now Double-click is really short of money. If you miss this store, there is no next village, and no new investors are willing to invest in Double-click.

  In Song Yang's office, seeing Irene's words, Song Yang never answered. Gallo couldn't help but glared at Irene, thinking that Irene was deliberately obstructing the Bruno family from entering the multi-millionaire club.

  Irene ignored Gallo's anger and just looked at Song Yang. Whether or not to sell the double-click company was entirely up to Song Yang's decision. At this moment, Irene suddenly had more expectations for this mob company.

   It's not about expecting others, but about Song Yang. Whether Song Yang is willing to sell Double-click Company and become a valuable apartment, or pursue more things depends on this moment.

  Batley is also waiting anxiously. He and the Telegraph and Telegraph Group heard the noisy voice on the other end of the phone just now. Think about it, how tempting is $8 million in cash for a young man?

  Anyway, Bartley knew that if it was him, he would never be able to refuse such a temptation, but after a slight noise on the other end of the phone, it suddenly fell into silence.

   "Song?"

Bartley tentatively called to Song Yang, "I think you should think carefully about it. The Telephone and Telegraph Group will not easily offer a price for a person, but if you miss it, the Telephone and Telegraph Group will withdraw the order and there will be no second bid." Second-rate!"

Listening to Bartley's words, Song Yang strengthened his conviction and took a deep breath, "Thanks to the Telephone and Telegraph Group and Manager Bartley for their kindness, but I need to think about this matter. I need Double-Click Company and the Bruno family. human opinion!"

  Although Song Yang said it tactfully, he still resolutely rejected the acquisition proposal of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. Hearing Song Yang's refusal, Gallo hugged his head in pain and kept saying "crazy!"

Gaining eight million and then losing it was so exciting that Gleick couldn't help being a little dazed. Ryan and Wesley also sighed. Although they couldn't get eight million, this was the distance between them. most recently.

Irene looked straight at Song Yang, and Irene suddenly felt that this boss, who was younger than her, seemed not only to have good looks, but also to have an indescribable feeling that he could refuse the temptation of eight million dollars , it means that he has a bigger goal, which has a fatal attraction to a career-oriented woman like Irene. For a moment, Irene looked at Song Yang and suddenly felt her heart beating violently.

Batley did not expect that Song Yang would reject the acquisition proposal, and there was a noise in the conference room of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. After a few words in a low voice with several bigwigs in the Telegraph, the investment department handed Batley a piece of paper again. The note, looking at the things on the note, Bartley finally couldn't help it, and took a breath.

   "I'm sorry for your choice, Song," Bartley said to Song Yang, "but I hope to promote the cooperation between Double-click Company and the Telegraph and Telegraph Group. I want to see you, Song, in the Telegraph and Telegraph Group!"

"If you are willing to join the Telephone and Telegraph Group, the Telephone and Telegraph Group is willing to acquire the entire equity of Double-click Company at a price of 18 million US dollars. After the acquisition is completed, Song You can still stay in Double-click Company, and the Telephone and Telegraph Group is willing to work for you Members of the Bruno family, provide a suitable position!"

As expected of the most profitable company this year, Telephone and Telegraph is really aggressive. In the blink of an eye, they raised the purchase price by another two million dollars. Even Greg couldn't help it, not only for the purchase, but also for The members of the Bruno family offered positions, and the conditions were already quite generous.

  Under Irene's gaze, Song Yang, who had already strengthened his determination, rejected Bartley's proposal again, "I am looking forward to cooperating with Manager Bartley, but I need to think about it!"

   "This kid actually rejected the acquisition, did other acquirers show up?"

   "It is not necessary to acquire Double-Click. My God, it is really crazy to buy a company that is not profitable at all for $20 million. There are companies like Silicon Valley!"

   "But there is only one double-click company. Do you know the Matterley Law? No matter how many digital advertising companies there are, only a few double-click companies will be able to win orders in this industry in the future!"

  In the conference room of the telegraph group, when Bartley put down the phone, the chief financial officer and the manager of the investment department immediately started arguing.

  Any company has conflicts of interest, not to mention within a giant like the Telephone and Telegraph Group.

  The financial department of the Telephone and Telegraph Group does not want to spend the acquisition money. If it is bought back, the double-click company will go bankrupt in the future, then the financial department will be blamed, and the development has nothing to do with the financial department.

As for the investment department, it is different. When they see an opportunity, they reach out to the financial department to ask for money to buy it. They can see through the fog of the investment market with blazing eyes. Bonuses are indispensable, and the position can be promoted. Lesson, after all, investment is risky...

   "It's hard to say whether the digital advertising industry exists. It's too early to say this now!" The chief financial officer said to the manager of the investment department.

  The manager in charge of the investment department of the Telephone and Telegraph Group immediately taunted, not to be outdone, "Then you think that Japan Softbank plans to invest 100 million US dollars in Yahoo, which is as crazy as you?!

  As the general digital advertising agency of Netscape and Yahoo, two companies valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, isn't Double-Click worth 20 million dollars? ! "

Bartley was stunned. He now understands why the Telephone and Telegraph Group suddenly wanted to invest in Double-Click. It turned out that it was because of rumors that Softbank wanted to invest $100 million in Yahoo. Bartley didn't know if the world was too crazy, or He is out of date.

   Not only the telephone and telegraph group was arguing, but the double-click company was even arguing.

   "You crazy woman, do you know what you did, it was eighteen million dollars!"

   Gallo turned around in a hurry in the office, said something to Irene, and then complained to Song Yang, "Song, how can you believe this crazy woman, you shouldn't have let her in in the first place."

  "I learned in business school that when a prey appears, it will attract more than just a lone wolf!"

Irene cast a cold glance at Gallo, and secretly mocked his IQ. She was sure that the one who was eyeing the prey of the double-click company would definitely not be the lone wolf of the Telephone and Telegraph Company. I don't know what other beasts are hiding in the forest. .

   "Then you guarantee that other companies will definitely be able to pay more than the Telephone and Telegraph Company?!"
