Back To 1995

   Chapter 167 A wave of flow

   On the phone, Irene spoke anxiously to Song Yang, and the market suddenly turned sharply.

Someone was targeting Double Click and America Telecom, and it was a rooster crowing in the middle of the night. Almost late at night, the American Trade Commission, the American Communications Commission, and many other agencies and departments all spoke out at the same time, almost undisguised about Song Yang. The sharpening knife here is hoho.

   In the morning, the big news finally broke out. The Internet Advertising and Media Management Department, which was established by the America Trade Commission last year, finally announced the start of an investigation into Double Click Company!

On the other hand, the Inter-American Communications Commission is on the sidelines. Although it did not directly say that it refused to issue a telecommunications license to Inter-American Telecom, it said that it would consider the class action initiated by Wall Street’s futures companies against Inter-American Telecom. He waved his knife to America Telecom.

   After hanging up the phone, Song Yang saw that there were calls from Whitman, Greck, Chris Jain, and others. Song Yang directly replied "Got it" and threw the phone aside.

  Song Yang knew that there would be people targeting Double Click Company and America Telecom, but he didn't expect that those people would look so ugly, he could hardly wait.

Song Yang could imagine who would target the double-click attack. Not surprisingly, it was the Trade Commission, a group of Anglo-Saxon conservatives headed by Ella Cherry, and Wall Street who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. A whole bunch of people who took a bite out of Double Click Company.

   As for America Telecom, it is definitely the work of several major telecom groups in America, and the futures investment companies on Wall Street alone cannot set off such a big storm.

   This is more like a telecommunications giant in America, which is trying to dismantle America Telecom, but I don’t know which telecommunications giant is the main player this time.

   Jenny, who was in Song Yang's arms, woke up at some point and looked at Song Yang, who frowned, "Did something happen?!"

   Seeing Jenny's worried look, Song Yang stretched out his hand towards the cigarette case and then retracted it, with a smile on his face, "Just a little problem!"

   Jenny didn't believe this. Big Cream Cake had never seen Song Yang so worried before. Jenny climbed up like a snake, and then pressed it towards Song Yang's lips.

   When he left the small apartment, Song Yang, who was cured in a unique way by the big cream cake, was already in a good mood, but it was a bit of a waste.

   That worry has dissipated in Song Yang's heart. Song Yang knew that what should come must come, and this thing will definitely not escape.

  Song Yang went directly to the office of the Harbour Building. Compared with the carnival last night, the Double Click Company was a bit more dull today.

  The media are all things that see the wind. Yesterday, they bragged about Double-click and America Telecom. Today, seeing that they may be about to make a comeback, they all changed their tone.

Now the major media are starting to discuss whether Double-click can escape this disaster and whether it can go public on time, and whether America Telecom can obtain a license. It's a miracle, but a big mess involving hundreds of millions of dollars!

   It seems that overnight, the weather vane has changed. Yesterday was full of praise and touts, but today it is full of disappointment. It seems that Double-click Company and America Telecom are already at risk.

  When Song Yang arrived, Whitman, Greck, Chris Jain, and Eric, who had just climbed up from the pile of women, looked blank.

   "Who can tell me what's going on?!"

Eric rubbed his head, and suddenly changed for some reason. Seeing that billions of dollars were about to be handed, now he told him that the cooked duck might be flying, which was a little too exciting, Eric Feeling a little unbearable.

  Chris Jain threw a few newspapers to Eric, and when Song Yang came in, Whitman and the others all stood up immediately.

"a cup of coffee!"

  Song Yang was not in a hurry, let everyone sit down, and then said to an assistant of Double Click Company, asking her to prepare a cup of coffee first.

   At this time, the sound from the TV attracted everyone's attention, and Song Yang also raised his head.

   "Today we have the director of the America Trade Commission, Ms. Ella Cherry!"

   ABC TV's financial host, said to the camera, and then a picture of Ella Cherry appeared on the TV.

   "Ms. Ella Cherry, can you tell us why the American Trade Commission is launching an investigation into DoubleClick?!"

   Seeing Ella Cherry's figure, Whitman, Greck, and the others all became solemn, and the other party was almost obviously targeting Double Click Company.

"The Internet industry is developing rapidly, especially with the emergence of the concept of Internet digital advertising, an industry has emerged, with a phenomenal level of revenue from zero to $300 million in one year, which has never happened in history. Pass!"

   "The commander and the American congressmen all hope that the Internet will develop smoothly, but that does not mean that certain companies can be tolerated to take advantage of this industry to shamelessly engage in illicit profits!"

   The interview was conducted over the phone. Ella Cherry's voice was a bit low, but just by listening to the voice, you could guess that the person behind the voice was quite tough.

   "The company you're referring to, the Double Click Company?" the host of ABC TV asked Ella Cherry.

Ella Cherry smiled in a slightly contemptuous tone, "The America Trade Commission, and myself, never target a company. Next, the America Trade Commission will sort out the entire Internet advertising industry. But it will not spare any company in question!"

   "Bichi!"

   Looking at Ella Cherry who is righteous and awe-inspiring on TV, Gallo couldn't help but scolded the TV, "This old woman is so crazy!"

  Song Yang was drinking coffee slowly and watching Ella Cherry's speech on TV. She showed her attitude, and it was also an alternative warning, warning those companies that cooperate with DoubleClick to be careful!

   "Double-click is already the most scrutinized company in America's Internet advertising industry. It has never put out side-scrolling ads involving underground gambling, bad information, and even very few medical ads."

  Whitman couldn't help but say at this time, "Double-click can't restrain its peers, nor can it ask those websites to place any advertisements, but now Ella Cherry has pushed all problems to Double-click."

   "It has nothing to do with what kind of advertisements the Double-click Company puts out. As long as Double-click Company is the largest company in the Internet advertising industry, it cannot be avoided!"

   "Ella Cherry needs to bring down the double-click to establish the status of the Trade Commission in the Internet industry, and of course let the people of the Trade Commission know of her existence!"

Song Yang saw that Ella Cherry's purpose in doing all this was simply to stand up and use the double-click as a certificate. If she wanted to go further in the Trade Commission, she needed to make a contribution. In addition to her academic background, Definitely want to double-click to open the knife.

   "We need to prepare a team of lawyers to deal with Ella Cherry's lawsuit against Double Click Company, and we need to ask the public relations team to go to Washington to lobby for Double Click!" Gleek said.

Whitman also said with a bit of a headache at this time, "The key is what to do with Double-click to go public, and now the roadshow is about to take place. Deutsche Bank Investment Bank and Goldman Sachs both called today and expressed their concerns about the issuance of Double-click shares. They suggested lowering financing. Scale, and get rid of the troubles with the America Trade Commission as soon as possible!"

   "And America Telecom, **** it, Song, do you know how many calls I received today, we need to come up with a solution here, otherwise it will be the people from the headquarters of the Bank of Comerica."

Chris Jain also held his head and said with a painful look on his face. The market suddenly changed. The Bank of Comerica, which had praised him so much yesterday, turned his face on him today, urging Chris to solve the troubles of America Telecom, or else It is necessary to "stop loss" and withdraw the 300 million US dollars invested in America Telecom!

For a time, the conference room turned into a pot of porridge. Once the double-click is chased by Ella Cherry, it is very likely that the listing will fail, and the American Telecom may also fail. This is related to the interests of countless people, and it is naturally noisy. No deal.

   After a cup of coffee, Song Yang finally felt a little distracted. He tapped his fingers on the table. The originally chaotic conference room gradually became quiet.

   "Double-click and America Telecom are two different things, so just divide it into two things to do!"

   "President Whitman, you and the people who double-clicked, continue to carry out the roadshow according to the original plan. Regarding the public relations consultant, I will let WPP Group send someone!"

  WPP Group itself has a number of public relations companies, and it also has a deep influence in Washington.

   "Double-click's shareholders, not only ours, can increase the underwriting fees, so that Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch will start working immediately, and they must also ensure that Double-click is listed!"

  Song Yang said to Whitman that the most important thing right now is not to mess around with oneself. Once the inside panics first, then I'm really afraid of being pushed horizontally by a wave.

  Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs are both stalkers on Wall Street. They have never seen anything like this, and they are now making a fuss. They just want to get another fee. Song Yang needs them to replace Double Click Company and block the pressure from the America Trade Commission.

  Song Yang will not forget the WPP Group. He chose to cooperate with the WPP Group because the strength of the other party is intertwined. No one has more say in how to solve the problem at this time than Martin Solo.

   "Continued construction on the American Telecom side. I need you to keep an eye on the construction site. What I want is to complete the project on time, and the construction period must not be delayed!"

Song Yang said to Eric, then turned to Chris Jain, "You tell the board of directors of Comeriga that they can only get everything back if they stand with America Telecom, otherwise I will get a point. The money won't be lost, you let them file a lawsuit directly in Houston!"

  The people from Comerica Bank really dared to play with the bottom line, so Song Yang would spend it with them to the end, and he would rather spend hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for lawsuits and not pay them a penny!
