Back To 1995: Chapter 822 shadow

"Bruno Song has promised me that American Telecom will join us in protesting to Capitol Hill. Southwestern Bell, Verizon, Chartered Telecom, Time Warner AOL, Comcast and other groups have also promised to cooperate with us. Let's boycott WorldCom's takeover of Sprint Telecom!"

  Bettles looked tired, and said to the members of the board of directors of the Telephone and Telegraph Group that the merger of WorldCom and Sprint this time was obviously aimed at the Telephone and Telegraph Group.

  Among all the telecom companies, American Telecom is the most special one, because whether it is the Telephone and Telegraph Group, WorldCom or other telecom companies, they all sit on the side of the donkey party, which can be regarded as a company in the donkey party camp.

If it's just the Telephone and Telegraph Group fighting against WorldCom, it can only be regarded as a fight in the nest. The congressmen behind the two sides and the supporters of the state congressmen from various states are mostly old faces. And mud, maybe Shitong really got away with it.

  Betters couldn’t allow this to happen, so he first put American Telecom on the chariot, because the supporters behind American Telecom are the people of the Elephant Party!

Now the internal struggle in America is not as it was twenty years later. The Donkey Party and the Elephant Party are completely incompatible. In other words, the votes behind them are unwilling to eat in the same trough. If there is an elephant in the way of the party, Worldcom will not be able to pass the test so easily.

   "WorldCom cannot succeed, absolutely not allowed!"

  Another director of the Telephone and Telegraph Group said categorically without any doubt, "Tell Bruno Song that as long as we stand with us this time, the Telephone and Telegraph Group can promise more support to American Telecom!"

The long-distance telephone and international telephone markets are the final basic market of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. What TV network, broadband, and mobile Internet revenue, plus one piece, there is no long-distance telephone business, and the Telephone and Telegraph Group earns more. If you lose it again, the Telephone and Telegraph Group can really drink the northwest wind.

   This time, the Telephone and Telegraph Group is not going to back down anymore, but is going to show off its muscles, and let the opponents of WorldCom see whether the Telephone and Telegraph Group is old and still able to survive? !

  Back then, WorldCom survived by relying on the leftovers that the telephone and telegraph group did not want. Today, they want to turn against customers and rub the telephone and telegram under their bodies.

   For this reason, the Telephone and Telegraph Group would rather make America Telecom cheaper than give it to WorldCom.

   For America Telecom, Telephone and Telegraph Group has mixed feelings. America Telecom can't get to where it is today without the indulgence and support of Telephone and Telegraph Group.

  At the beginning when supporting America Telecom, the Telephone and Telegraph Group wanted to raise a thug to use America Telecom as a watchdog to guard the gate for the Telephone and Telegraph Group and bite those opponents.

  Looking at it now, America Telecom's mission has been completed beautifully, even a little too beautifully, even the Telephone and Telegraph Group may have been bitten by America Telecom!

  The Telephone and Telegraph Group, at the beginning, did not pay much attention to America Telecom, and did not put all their eggs in one basket to ask for the acquisition. As a result, America Telecom has become a bit of a big deal now.

  Compared to companies such as WorldCom, which are directly opposed to the Telephone and Telegraph Group, American Telecom's main broadband and mobile communications do not directly threaten the Telephone and Telegraph Group, which is why Telephone and Telegraph Group can tolerate America Telecom.

Betts rubbed her sour brows. She was a bit greedy for American Telecom, but she missed the best acquisition agency. Now she wants to acquire American Telecom from ICQ, let alone whether Song Yang and Immelt are willing Selling American Telecom, the purchase price alone, I am afraid that it will double, more than 100 billion US dollars, half of the life of the Telephone and Telegraph Group will be involved.

  After this time, WorldCom and Telephone and Telegraph Group will probably be seriously injured, and it will be difficult to suppress American Telecom anymore!

  It is not easy to accomplish one thing. Faced with all kinds of troubles and accidents, it is too simple to be dragged down.

  After Song Yang hung up the phone, he couldn't help laughing. Before that, WorldCom had competed with America Telecom. For UUNET Telecom, America Telecom was also interested, but failed to win.

Now that the Telephone and Telegraph Group is at the forefront, and American Telecom is behind, it will be able to hold back WorldCom. Bernard Ebes also wants to acquire Sprint Telecom within 24 hours, let alone 24 hours. It's an hour, and it's not bad if it can be won for two hundred and forty days. Worldcom may not be able to last until then...

  When the car arrived at the Austin municipal office building, Adrian's chief of staff, Matthews, who was like Adrian's shadow, was already waiting under the building.

   Waved to let the security personnel of the state office building who were about to conduct security checks on Song Yang and his party leave, Matthews immediately walked up.

   "Song, Adrian is already waiting for you in the governor's office!"

   Seeing Matthews who opened the car door for Song Yang himself, many people in the state office building showed expressions of surprise.

   Adrian brought a lot of people over to Austin, and arranged them in some positions. However, there are more than a few thousand city staff in Austin, and it is impossible for Adrian to occupy them all. They are still outsiders.

Not to mention in America, but only in Texas, Adrian is now the most powerful person, as long as he can control the Texas State Assembly, Adrian will tear down the entire Texas, No one can dictate to Adrian, including the Grand Commander!

  As Adrian's chief of staff, Matthews is, to a certain extent, exercising Adrian's rights. He is not on the list of congressmen in Texas, but he is also a powerful figure.

Now seeing Matthews standing downstairs in person, waiting for Song Yang to arrive, and opening the car door for Song Yang, this scene naturally surprised many Houston City Hall personnel, but after finding out about Song Yang's identity, this scene It's no surprise to help others, as Adrian's big benefactor, Song Yang is enough to get these benefits!

Austin is not big, and its area is much smaller than Houston and Dallas next door, but Austin is more suitable for living. It is not as hot as Houston in summer, nor as cold as Dallas in winter. It is the most livable place in America all year round. City top.

The population here is less than one million, but the social status is not low. With money and leisure, the demand for music and sports naturally arises. Austin has the best rowing training base in the world, various concert halls, performances Bands and music producers gather here, and the reputation of "the capital of live music" is still very loud.

In addition, there are many university towns here, which are the continuous center of Texas, so there are actually many more technology companies here than in Houston, the capital of Texas, plus technology companies are all over the world. , so that the housing prices in Austin are much higher than those in Houston!

  Entering the city hall, Song Yang glanced at Matthews at the side. Adrian aspired to win the state of Texas. As the chief of staff, Matthews, the poker face that has never changed for thousands of years, now also faintly smiled.

Adrian's step forward has changed the fate of himself and the entire family. The lives of countless people who are closely related to Adrian, like Matthews, have also been completely changed. They can completely serve the powerful people in America. , The decision they made, the sound they made, can be heard by the whole of America!

   "Matthews, you don't want to go out, go to Houston or other Texas urban areas, and serve as a congressman?"

   After entering the elevator, Song Yang asked Matthews lightly, and Matthews had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this.

Song Yang's words were actually to test Matthews. It is true that Matthews is also a powerful person now, but his power all comes from Adrian, and the shadow will always be the shadow. Without Adrian, the shadow will be No longer exists, who wants to be regarded as someone else's shadow forever? !

   "I'm fine now, Adrian still has a lot of things to deal with!"

   Surprised for a moment, Matthews resumed his poker face, and responded to Song Yang with a deadpan voice, as if he was not interested in Song Yang's proposal at all.
