Back To 1995

   Chapter 346 Changes in the Wind and Clouds

  What is the highest state of a melon eater? I'm afraid Song Yang would not have thought that Andy Lake could hit him with ICNC TV's idea.

   There are not a few people who eat melons today, especially in the technology industry. A number of Internet companies in Silicon Valley are paying close attention. Although there may not be an immediate result in today’s trial, it is likely to be related to the future of the Internet industry. Weather vane!

  Especially Netscape and Microsoft are paying more attention. If this time Double-click company fails, the next one is likely to be Microsoft.

   Therefore, Microsoft is also paying close attention to it. Today, Bill Gates and a group of Microsoft executives quit a lot of entertainment and kept watching media reports in the conference room.

   In addition to the Internet industry, the telecommunications industry is also paying attention, and it affects the whole body. A large part of the reason for this telecom merger frenzy is because of the rise of the Internet.

If the Internet industry is suppressed, then the telecommunications industry is also likely to be rare. Large mergers and acquisitions in the telecommunications and media industries, not to mention being terminated, at least have to be weighed, whether they will be cleaned up in the future, WorldCom and other companies, absolutely Don't dare to launch a shocking merger so unscrupulously.

   Of course, if the Double-click company can resist this time, then everything is easy to say, singing and dancing, drinking and drinking...

Ella Cherry took a large group of people and arrived at the New York court in a mighty manner. When Ella Cherry, dressed in black and with a sullen face, got out of the car, she let the media on the scene, as well as those who were watching. The audience of the TV broadcast immediately felt a pressure. The first appearance of the Internet Iron Lady was full of aura.

   "Ella Cherry, a representative of the New Brandeis School, is very tough on antitrust in the technology industry, and has published many monopoly reports on technology companies, including a report on Microsoft of course!"

  The executive in the legal department at Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, introducing Ella Cherry to Bill Gates.

Seeing that Bill Gates didn't seem to pay much attention to Ella Cherry, Microsoft's legal counsel reminded Bill Gates at this time, "The closest relationship with Ella Cherry is Boyce of the Antitrust Bureau. According to the information we have, if Netscape's case against Microsoft is accepted, Microsoft will face Boyce!"

Bill Gates, who was still in the mood to eat melons and watch a play, lost his smile when he heard this. He didn't need to find out what the origin of this Boyce was. He only heard that he had a close relationship with Ella Cherry, Bill Gates. Z has no sympathy for him anymore.

  Only relying on Ella Cherry, chasing the Double-click company, you know what life Microsoft will live if it is eyed by Boyce.

   "Ms. Ella Cherry, how sure are you of winning this lawsuit?!"

   Ella Cherry, who arrived at the gate of the New York courthouse, was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters, throwing various questions.

   Originally, this siege in the face of double-click was created by Ella Cherry. Ella Cherry had a very good attitude towards the media.

Facing the camera and the microphone that hit her face, Ella Cherry had a cold face that no one should approach, but she rarely got angry today, "I believe in federal law, the New York justices, and the jury, There will be the most correct trial for this indictment, and according to federal antitrust laws, some companies should immediately stop monopolizing their business, or be split or even shut down!"

The reporters present silently listened to the words of this iron lady in the technology industry. They all knew that Ella Cherry was tough, but as soon as she came up, she threatened to dismantle the double-click, or even make the double-click go bankrupt, which still exceeded many media and reporters. expected.

   "Excuse me, what kind of lawsuit will be brought against Bruno Song this time?"

   "If Ms. Ella Cherry wins the lawsuit this time, will she target other Internet technology companies?"

The reporters present asked Ella Cherry all kinds of questions. Some asked how she was going to toss Song Yang this time. There were also media from Silicon Valley who were worried. This time Ella Cherry was only ready to deal with it. Double-click a company, and still have to clean up the entire Internet industry.

   "I believe that the federal law will treat every Internet company fairly, and the antitrust law is to allow more Internet companies to survive!" Ella Cherry faced a crowd of cameras and promoted her theories.

   At this time, a voice suddenly came out, "What if Ms. Ella Cherry is wrong?"

   The reporter with the ICNC logo on his body stood up at this time and asked Ella Cherry. Seeing this scene, the surrounding media looked like they were watching the show.

This is the advantage of having your own media people. At the critical moment, you can muddy the water. As a TV station that is a big moneymaker, it is unreasonable. Support the big benefactor!

  Ella Cherry snorted coldly when she saw the logo on the ICNC reporter, then just sneered, and with a look of victory, she walked towards the New York court with a group of people behind her.

   Ella Cherry didn't mean to be rude with ICNC. Her energy today is all in today's lawsuit. As long as this lawsuit has the upper hand and won the lawsuit, everything will be based on what she said!

   Ella Cherry just brought people in, and another group of vehicles drove over in a mighty manner. The formation was much larger than Ella Cherry.

   As soon as the convoy stopped, a lot of black water security guards poured out first, isolating the media from the reporters, and then Song Yang got off the car surrounded by Gallo, Greck, and the lawyers.

  The moment Song Yang got off the car, the camera's flash immediately turned into white flowers.

  Compared to Ella Cherry, the media were more interested in Song Yang. Even though a large group of reporters stood in front of them, the reporters kept raising the microphone towards Song Yang.

   "Song, will the double-click company be delisted?"

   "After the opening of the market today, the double-click stock price fell below the issue price again. Will the double-click start the repurchase plan?!"

   "What do you think, Song, regarding Ms. Ella Cherry's claim that the Double Click Company will be split up?!"

Song Yang heard that the stock price had dropped again. He knew that yesterday's statement was in vain. In fact, it was better not to issue it. He bought the shares of Double-click, and looked forward to waiting for Song Yang and the board of directors of Double-click to buy back the gang of people. By the time Double-click just made a nonsense statement, many people's mentality was completely collapsed, and there were even rumors that Song Yang was going to breach the agreement when going public, causing Double-click's stock price to fall again today.

  Song Yang smiled at the surrounding cameras and nodded lightly, looking very relaxed.

"Double-click will not be delisted. I can only say that today is just a farce. I believe that the commander-in-chief, as well as the Trade Commission, the Communications Commission, etc., do not want to see the Internet industry being destroyed. This is not only related to Double-click, but also To the entire Nasdaq and Wall Street!"

   As soon as Song Yang came up, he pulled the big flag and pulled the big commander's endorsement. He also put the safety of the Double-click company related to the entire Internet. It seems that once the double-click is over, the entire Nasdaq will collapse...

   "Bruno Song has appeared in the New York court. What do you think of today's lawsuit?"

  For fear of not being lively, CNN TV set up a special program group and invited several legal and technology industry experts and celebrities as guests to broadcast the "trial of the century" with great momentum.

   "The facts will prove that Ella Cherry is simply making trouble out of nowhere. I thought about it for three days and three nights and couldn't figure it out. Why did Ella Cherry take the double-click to court?"

  Professor Tristan, who was sitting on the CNN program group, was still undisguised as "Song Blowing", and when he came up, he was angry at Ella Cherry.

Tristan's fighting power alone is enough to surpass the sum of the other guests. After three minutes of spraying, the host of the show couldn't help it. He quickly changed the subject and handed the microphone to another guest. Let Tristan spray, not only Ella Cherry, but also the boss of the entire Trade Commission, Derris Morris, and a group of people in the New York State Court who accepted this lawsuit, will all be given by Tristan. Sprayed into a sieve.

"This lawsuit mainly depends on how much evidence Ella Cherry has in her hands, as well as the attitude of the New York court. Today is only the first lawsuit, but today's lawsuit is basically a microcosm of the entire lawsuit. Who can If you win today's trial, you are likely to win, but relatively speaking, Ella Cherry may have an advantage..." Among the guests, a professional old business lawyer analyzed to the crowd.

In the New York court, today's main question is about the executives of Double-click company headed by Whitman and Ryan. Song Yang basically testified in court, but now basically all attention is on Song Yang. However, for the legal team and the executives of Double-click, this is a good thing, and they don't need to be stared at by the spotlight.

   "The judges and the jury, we have enough evidence to show that DoubleClick is abusing its position in the Internet advertising market, controlling the price, delivery volume and even technical standards of Internet advertising!"

Ella Cherry and the lawyers from the Trade Commission took the lead in launching the attack, "We have an email here, this is an email from DoubleClick to the advertising agencies in the states of America, the email asks all cooperative Internet advertisers, All websites comply with the Internet advertising standards and technologies formulated by DoubleClick, and of course advertising prices!"

When the voice fell, it was obvious that there was an uproar at the scene, and the lawyer team headed by Clifford Chance stood up and protested, "This is completely confusing and misleading the jury and everyone watching this trial. , let the outside world misunderstand the double-click company!"

This was originally just an ordinary protest. Everyone present and those who were eating melons and watching the show in front of the TV didn't care too much. Ella Cherry and the lawyer were also talking in a low voice, but at this moment , suddenly heard the presiding judge sitting in the first place of the court, and suddenly knocked down with a gavel, "The protest is valid!"

Ella Cherry raised her head in shock and looked at the judge of the New York court. The scene that was being broadcast immediately seized the opportunity and gave Ella Cherry a face shot. She looked surprised and appeared on TV immediately. in front of countless audiences.
