  Chapter 1006 Carrot and Stick

  Bliv on the stage said that in the past few years, the Internet domain name business of the American Internet Association has brought benefits to Tuvalu, Niue Island, Corinth Islands and other regions.

For example, the "Tv" Internet domain name of Tuvalu was acquired by Al Jazeera at a sky-high price of 110 million U.S. dollars. At the beginning of this year, the ten-year period of use of the Tuvalu domain name was three years away. Four years ago, Al Jazeera, with its wealth and wealth, renewed its contract ahead of schedule.

This time, Al Jazeera wanted to directly buy the domain name of Tuvalu, but Bliff was reluctant to sell it, and only agreed to a second renewal. Al Jazeera could provide Al Jazeera with a long-term contract. When the third renewal, Al Jazeera has the sole priority to renew the contract, that is, next time, only Al Jazeera is unwilling to use this domain name, and the Internet Association can find other buyers.

As a result, Al Jazeera obtained Tuvalu's Tv domain name for the second time when the Internet had already collapsed, and the use period was extended to 15 years later, and the cost paid by Al Jazeera this time reached 220 million Beautiful knife!

  This is the Internet market. With the market crashing completely, the domain name market has also cooled down, but the TV domain name is still the well-deserved king of domain names. Compared with the first auction, the price has doubled!

  Of course, this is also related to Al Jazeera’s wealth and wealth. The big money behind Al Jazeera only buys the most expensive ones.

  At the beginning, Al Jazeera spent 110 million US dollars to buy the Tuvalu domain name, and instantly made its name famous all over the world. It can cost hundreds of millions of dollars to break the website. Is Al Jazeera short of money? !

It only cost 100 million US dollars to run an advertisement all over the world. For Al Jazeera, that wave was simply lucrative. With that promotion, Al Jazeera made it a matter of course, relying on the ability to make money, recruiting troops and buying horses A large number of top media people and reporters.

  In the past few years, Al Jazeera is now one of the world's four major TV news channels with the same reputation as BBC, ICNC, and CNN.

Al Jazeera vowed to renew the Tuvalu domain name this time, but it is a pity that there is no competitor at all to compete with Al Jazeera for the domain name, otherwise Al Jazeera can take the opportunity to show off another wave of beauty, Maybe, it will become the focus of the world again and play a wave of advertisements!

For the 220 million US dollars paid by Al Jazeera, the American Internet Association took the bulk, and the rest was distributed to Tuvalu, but that part is for Tuva, which has a population of only 10,000. For Lu, it is equivalent to more than 5,000 U.S. dollars per capita, which is already equivalent to high-income areas in many areas.

Tuvalu’s membership fees to the United Nations are paid by selling domain names. Schools, roads, hospitals, power plants, small airport runways and other facilities also rely on the Internet Association to distribute domain name dividends to them. To build it up, relying on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water, it can be said that the 10,000 people in Tuvalu really live on Internet domain names...

Tuvalu is just one of the typical examples of the "get rich" domain name promoted by the American Internet Association. In addition to Tuvalu, there are also a large number of Turkmenistan, Tonga, Moldova, Federated States of Micronesia, etc., On the world map, you have to look for places with a magnifying glass, and now you can receive hundreds of millions of dollars in domain name dividends every year!

Regardless of whether the American Internet Association is cutting the leeks in these places, without Song Yang's establishment of the American Internet Association, and without Song Yang's proposal to engage in a global unified Internet domain name plan, it is impossible for these regions to be allocated so many American Internet domain names. Knife.

  Of course, these are all publicized by the Internet Association of America, in order to publicize to the outside world. After the establishment of the Internet Association of America, how many things have been done and how many people have been helped.

In addition to auctioning some top-level domain names every year, the Internet Association also sells and leases a large number of common domain names every year. When it was the hottest, it could get more than five or six billion dollars in revenue every year by relying on domain names. These are almost nothing. For this business, you only need to register a domain name, and then sell it at an auction...

It is not that there are no other companies that want to enter this industry, but they are all rejected by the Internet Association. Any company that dares to enter this industry will be sued by the Internet Association immediately, and the domain names registered by this company will not be recognized. The secret means will make those companies that enter this industry fail and get out of this industry in despair.

Listening to Bliv's flattery, there was a lot of applause at the scene. Believe it or not, the Internet Society is a real philanthropist, but these things are true, but the money earned is big. Whose hand is worth talking about.

  After Bliv, the person who took the stage was Yang Zhiyuan, the current president of the Internet Society of America.

Yahoo is very satisfied with this. Yahoo is still continuing the "God-making" campaign, and wants to continue to rely on this method to boost the sluggish stock price. After all, compared to improving performance, the God-making movement is a cost The lowest, the effect is quite significant, but this game has some serious sequelae. Yahoo's stock price collapsed, which caused Yang Zhiyuan's image to be damaged a lot. Now, if he wants to continue the god-making movement, the cost will be even greater.

After Yang Zhiyuan, there were several people who named the American Internet Association and gave speeches on behalf of Microsoft and other companies. Yahoo, Microsoft and other companies joined the American Internet Association mainly to ensure their company's status and power in the Internet industry. It was targeted by people!

   More than half an hour later, when the host called Song Yang's name, the originally noisy venue became quiet in an instant.

The President of the American Internet Association, the Secretary-General of the American Internet Association, etc., are indeed big figures in the Internet industry, which makes many Internet companies afraid, but it is not enough to say that they are afraid, but Song Yang can really make those people Internet companies cannot survive in the industry!

Yang Zhiyuan, Bob Weiss, Jim Clark and other people also felt the subtle changes in the atmosphere in the venue. Yang Zhiyuan sighed slightly, saying that he and Song Yang had made their debut at the same time, and Yahoo continued to support him. The "God-making Movement" is only to increase Yang Zhiyuan's influence.

   But looking at it now, Yang Zhiyuan feels that Yahoo's operation is as fierce as a tiger, burning so many dollars, but Yang Zhiyuan's influence is still far from Song Yang's.

"This guy…"

Jim Clark sighed to Mark Anderson in a low voice and said that he could clearly feel that Song Yang's current power had already surpassed his heyday. At that time, he could not let so many giant companies , they all listened to him quietly, but facing Song Yang, whether it was Yahoo or Microsoft, they all sat down quietly at the moment, listening to Song Yang's words, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

  "In the past year, many major events have occurred in the Internet industry, and everyone has been affected. This is not what all Internet practitioners want to see!

  We admit that there are indeed many black apples in the Internet industry, who have transferred risks to investors and users through various improper and dishonest means, and obtained illegitimate benefits..."

Looking at Song Yang who was speaking righteously on the stage, everyone in the audience had weird eyes. Well, Internet companies have indeed had a lot of tricks in the past few years. A variety of sports cars, villas, antiques, hook up with Hollywood actresses, hold parties every day and so on.

  In the past few years, the Internet industry has indeed lived a life of luxury and money, but those guys who play cash are nothing compared to the people who are speaking on stage now? !

  The founders of Internet companies, and the Silicon Valley venture capital behind them, cut a lot of leeks, but compared with Song Yang, who got the richest man in America by cutting leeks, it seems not enough...

Song Yang didn't care about the strange look below, he just dumped the blame, if he was too thin-skinned, how could he clean it up, he would definitely not take the blame for the Internet crash, he must throw it to the bankrupt Internet companies , It was their reckless cutting of leeks and unrealistic aggressive plans that dragged down the Internet industry. Although it is actually Wall Street who is unwilling to continue to burn money for the Internet and cut a large crop of leeks, the pot, for sure You can't push it to Wall Street, otherwise it will really tear your face.

  After throwing the pot out, Song Yang said again, "But I believe that the cold winter of the Internet will eventually pass, and the midsummer of the Internet will come again one day!

For the future of the Internet industry, the North American Global Investment Foundation is willing to expand the investment scope of its "Spark Fund" to the members of the entire American Internet Society. "Get a low-interest loan of at least five million dollars..."

   "Boom"

Hearing this, there was a big round of applause in the venue. The Spark Fund was launched by Song Yang before, and it was mainly used to save Amazon, eBay, Feita, Sohu and other companies in his own camp. Now, Song Yang will rescue The scope has expanded to the entire American Internet industry!

  Although it is impossible to say that all Internet companies in America can get loans from the Spark Fund, the Internet industry, which is short of money and crazy, has more chances to survive.

As for the Spark Foundation, will investing in these Internet companies lose money? Now the entire Nasdaq is in a low period, and the market value of all major Internet listed companies has shrunk by at least 80 to 90%, and some even almost disappeared. , Investment at this time may not earn so much, but as long as you stay for a few more years, you will definitely not lose money.

  Before, the Spark Foundation hunted down the short hedge funds that shorted Amazon and made a fortune, and now there is still a large amount of dollars lying in the account, waiting to pay huge taxes.

  If it works, investing in these Internet companies in the name of saving the Internet from the fire and water can avoid a large part of taxes.

As for the future, no one can say that Song Yang is cutting leeks. On the contrary, he has to admit that Song Yang can save the Internet industry from the fire and water in this turbulent era of the Internet. Later generations pay their respects? !

Why, the steel magnate Carnegie, the ancestors of Rockefeller, those who donated to Harvard and Stanford University, are recorded in the history books of America and boasted. Song Yang saved the Internet industry and saved tens of millions of Internet practitioners. Their family, can't this make a fuss?

Even if those media don’t blow it up, ICNC, NBC, CNN, Time Warner and other their own media will definitely blow it up. The Houston Singularity University, which is under construction, must not write this matter into the history books. Let them be preserved, and after a few decades, these will become important "iron evidence" for Song Yang to save the Internet in America!

When the Internet industry in America gets hot again, no matter who saved the Internet, and no matter how many bills to support the Internet were passed by Capitol Hill and the general, people will subconsciously think that it was Song Yang who saved the Internet. With his ability to win public opinion, Song Yang is just trying his hand at the moment.

   "I hope that the Internet Hall of Fame can become a hall of the Internet and technology industry in America, and even in the world. Whether it is an Internet practitioner or a person outside the Internet, those who have made great contributions to the Internet industry should not be forgotten!

The first Internet Hall of Fame will have four people inducted. The Internet Society of America will set up an Internet Hall of Fame jury to be responsible for reviewing the inductees of each industry in the future. In the future, the Internet Hall of Fame will adopt a recommendation system. Members of the Hall of Fame, recommending candidates for the next Internet Hall of Fame..."

Except for the first Internet Hall of Fame, in the future, Song Yang will not tamper with it, at least not openly. To build the Internet Hall of Fame into the most authoritative existence in the Internet industry, the only way is to build it first Only by becoming an authority can you use it to do things in the future, otherwise it will be like a castle in the air, which will collapse at the first touch.

It took decades for Oscar to become an authority in the global film industry, and then slowly started to make troubles, becoming the bridgehead for exporting culture from America. If they made troubles at the beginning, they would probably have been sprayed to death , where is it still in turn to challenge people around...

   "I hope that the resolution to establish the Internet Hall of Fame can be passed today!"

Song Yang glanced at the people from all walks of life below. Today, he used both carrots and sticks. Song Yang personally came to supervise the battle. If someone dares to make trouble for Song Yang when he votes on the establishment of the Internet Hall of Fame, then Song Yang definitely won't make him feel comfortable. Although it's an anonymous vote, but as the organizer, Brive, who is at the helm of the Internet Society, will find out the insider who is doing things without any trouble at all.

   "Taking from the Internet and using it for the Internet, this year the Internet Association will distribute dividends for the first time since its establishment, and distribute the profits of the Internet Association to all association members in proportion for the first time!"

  Finally, Bliff came to the stage, without blushing or beating heart, and spoke about the distribution of spoils in a fair and honest manner.

   Happy New Year's Eve, I wish all book friends a bright future and a great future, and I hope everyone can be smooth sailing!
