Back To 1995: Chapter 392 backhand
Chapter 392 Backhand
After seeing the press conference held by the Federal Trade Commission, the entire technology industry in America was shocked.
Although we had expected this time, DoubleClick may survive the antitrust investigation this time, but such a big victory made the Trade Commission take the initiative to bow its head, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
If there is no comparison, there is no harm. Microsoft is being plagued by antitrust lawsuits over there, and it is constantly being sued in various states of America. Double-click here has already landed safely. If you say Microsoft, there is no envy over there, it is absolutely fake !
Bill Gates and Microsoft's eyes are a little red, if Microsoft can do this, let alone Millions of dollars, even if the fine is doubled tenfold, Bill Gates is willing to pay!
It doesn’t matter how much Microsoft’s stock price has fallen in just a few days. Compared with the fine, Microsoft’s stock price has fallen by more than billions of dollars.
In contrast, almost after the Trade Commission held a press conference announcing that the Trade Commission, led by Boss Demos Morris, had achieved a "big win", it marked the beginning of the ties between the Trade Commission and Double Click. The grievances are completely over.
As soon as the news came out, during this period of time, the stock price of Double-click Company, which was in constant decline, rose in an instant, from a stock price of fifty dollars to seventy dollars in an instant, which reminded many people that Double-click before. A scene from a corporate battle with a hedge fund.
Before, the stock price of Double-click was pulled to a height of $158, and the market value exceeded $23.8 billion. However, after Double-click reconciled with those short-selling hedge funds, Double-click’s stock price began to plummet, and began to stabilize at around $50. , This also shows that the outside world has begun to recognize the double-click share price of $50,000, and the market value of $7.5 billion.
Although the stock price and market value of are still a bit high, they are not so outrageous in the age of the Internet boom.
And this time, stimulated by the news of the reconciliation, Double-click’s stock price became demonic again. No matter what the latecomers were, Double-click was estimated to be the representative of Nasdaq’s demon stock.
After the Federal Trade Commission, the New York Federal Court also directly announced the end of the lawsuit, and the Tennessee class action also announced the end directly because of the withdrawal of the lawsuit by the leader David Ameda!
Seeing that the weather vane was wrong, David Ameda started to run ahead of time. During this time, David Ameda was also living in hiding. The court in Houston was constantly sending her subpoenas. The Blackwater Company The bounty hunter who is also looking for her in America, which makes David Ameda terrified.
Seeing that even the Trade Commission had no choice but to double-click the company, David Ameda resolutely chose to run away, directly withdrawing all charges against the double-click company, and then flew directly overseas to avoid the limelight.
All the dark clouds that shrouded Double-click Company began to dissipate. Since the establishment of Double-click Company, they have been targeted continuously, and now these have disappeared. This is not only for Double-click Company, but also more important for Song Yang. They were all targeting some of Song Yang's opponents, but they were also defeated this time, a warning to those who want to make a move!
However, the outside world thought that this matter was about to come to an end, and the news that suddenly came out from Capitol Hill surprised everyone!
Senior Congressman on Capitol Hill, Grimm, the spokesperson for America Corporation on Capitol Hill, publicly proposed that Ella Cherry, the main person in charge of pushing the double-click antitrust case, be held accountable on Capitol Hill.
Grim believes that Ella Cherry has a variety of crimes such as abuse of power, insider trading, bribery, abuse of funds, power and money transactions, and asks Capitol Hill to question Ella Cherry and punish her!
This news is really explosive, almost as soon as it came out, it instantly appeared on the news in many news fields such as American finance, technology, Internet, and current affairs.
Almost everyone who sees this news will have an idea subconsciously, this is Song Yang's counterattack.
Ella Cherry has always wanted to send Song Yang to Capitol Hill, in front of the entire American people, to have a "trial of the century" on Song Yang, but this wish, I am afraid Ella Cherry will not be able to achieve, instead It's herself, she may have to be asked again on Capitol Hill first...
And in Grimm, while promoting the inquiry meeting on Ella Cherry on Capitol Hill, the Federal Trade Commission, with everyone's stunned expressions, started a slapstick operation.
The Federal Trade Commission first directly announced that Ella Cherry would be transferred from the Trade Commission. There is no problem with this operation. If there is a problem, the Trade Commission definitely does not want to follow the blame, but the next operation will let many people be Looking stunned.
The Trade Commission publicly announced that it had received reports and evidence of allegations against Ella Cherry. After Double-click went public, when she was shorted by Wall Street hedge funds, Ella Cherry had joined forces with Wall Street institutions, which means Double-click was shorted, Ella. Cherry is one of the possible stakeholders, maybe even the facilitator!
This is directly equivalent to directly identifying Ella Cherry. The reason why she has been targeting Double-click Company may not only be to promote her antitrust philosophy, but also to personal grievances and public revenge, no matter whether this is It's not true. When the trade commission released the news, Ella Cherry's reputation was completely ruined. No matter what her true intentions were, passers-by would only remember the rumors that she had avenged her private revenge.
The Trade Commission, in conjunction with the Federal Department of Justice and prosecutors, began to prosecute Ella Cherry on multiple charges of malfeasance, abuse of power, and insider trading.
On the same day, in New York, Ella Cherry, dressed in black, was indifferently taken to the car by several New York Federal Police officers in handcuffs. The whole America started to go crazy. When she got into the car, Ella Cherry Cherry looked back at the direction of the media, with the same indifferent expression on her face, but there was still a look of exhaustion on her face, but in front of the camera, Ella Cherry was still holding on.
At Microsoft headquarters, Bill Gates, who was negotiating with Ballmer, Brad Smith, Todd and others to resolve Microsoft's antitrust troubles with public relations, was also shocked when he saw the news of Ella Cherry's arrest. Big eyes!
After a long time, the world's richest man finally spit out a classic American scolding, double-click to win, has exceeded Bill Gates' expectations, and now not only won, but also set off against the double-click antitrust case. , were sent to federal prison, which made Bill Gates feel like he had seen him for a long time.
I don't know how Standard Oil and Telephone and Telegraph Group, which have experienced anti-monopoly and were split up, will feel when they see this news!
"I think the most important consultant for Microsoft is not those lawyers or congressmen, but Bruno Song."
After reading the news, Bill Gates couldn't help but joked to the left and right, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"The trouble of double-click is over, Microsoft's trouble has just begun, but double-click also proves to us that in this era, Microsoft can win the opponent, no matter who the opponent is!"
Bill Gates said to a group of Microsoft executives with a slightly gloomy atmosphere, the double-click victory is a good thing for Microsoft, proving that today's America Federation is not the past era, and it can be easily killed A giant company and then breaking it up is a good thing for Microsoft.
"How dare they..."
Georgia, a party is being held in an old-fashioned castle in the suburbs. The stone walls outside the castle are already rusted, showing the age of the castle.
The person who spoke was an old man at the party. When he saw the news of Ella Cherry's arrest, he said furiously, and the drink in his hand was spilled on the precious carpet because of his excitement.
But at this time, no one cares about this, and they are all staring at the news on TV. This castle belongs to the Winslow family. More than ten years ago, the people of the Winslow family went to England and fiddled with it. When a title comes back, it is useless in America, but for the Winslow family, the name adds to the heritage, and this castle is also where Edward Winslow stayed every time he returned to Georgia.
At the party in the castle, all the old white men were basically veteran members of the Georgia state and powerful figures. These people were all Anglo-Saxon members, and they were also members of the Winslow family in Georgia.
Edward Winslow returned to Georgia this time to solve the backyard fire and solve the troubles of the junior Liam Winslow.
Before the double-click anti-monopoly case went to trial, Song Yang let the elephant party beat the mountain and start the attack in advance, and gave Edward Winslow and others a warning to let them withdraw from this matter.
"They are provocative. They are provoking us. No matter how Ella Cherry is, she is also a member of the Anglo-Saxon. She did not do what she promised and needs us to punish. It is not their turn..."
A veteran state congressman from Georgia scolded while watching TV, he didn't care whether Ella Cherry was arrested, but cared that, at this point in time, capturing Ella Cherry was equivalent to giving Their Anglo-Saxon MPs slapped and almost ignored them, let alone breaking the rules before.
"Can't let Ella Cherry be sentenced, once she goes to federal prison, it will be a heavy blow for Anglo-Saxons!"
At the party, other people also started talking. For them, an Ella Cherry is nothing, even if you take a gun on the street, it will be fine, but the point is, this time, everyone who cares knows that Ella Cherry is They joined forces with their group of Anglo-Saxon MPs, but now that Ella Cherry has an accident, they can't even keep anyone. This is a huge blow to their influence. Who will dare to help them in the future?
"enough!"
