Back To 1995

   Chapter 350

   "Double-click, which had just finished its first trial yesterday, spread the news again that it would choose an opportunity to meet Demos Morris of the Federal Trade Commission. Demos Morris has not made any comments on this!"

  The second day after the end of the trial, when many media in America were still reporting yesterday's lawsuit, Ella Cherry's amazing remarks, and her personal grievance with Song Yang, the Washington Post suddenly broke the news.

   Here, Ella Cherry is still trying to get rid of Double Click Company, and the boss of the rear trade committee, Demos Morris, directly turned against the water!

   When the news broke, I don't know how Ella Cherry's prosecution felt, but the media felt full at once.

Although the Washington Post broke the news that DoubleClick wanted to meet Deimos Morris, people familiar with the routine understood that if Deimos Morris did not intend to meet Song Yang, then this news would It won't be released at all.

  Demos Morris's meal operation can be described in one sentence, that is, the ministers are about to fight to the death, why did His Majesty surrender first?

A group of attorneys general and lawyers who followed Ella Cherry saw this news with a sense of absurdity. They were fighting against Double Click Company in front of them. The boss of the Trade Commission, This will start to reconcile with the double-click, and it may take the initiative to bow.

Demos Morris did not directly say that he would withdraw the lawsuit, but he set up a separate Internet Information Management Office, which was specially responsible for formulating the Internet Advertising Management Act, as well as various other new Internet bills. Li was kicked away!

   Of course, it is impossible to say this in name, but Ella Cherry has no time to take care of the affairs of the Trade Commission, so she is specially responsible for the prosecution case of Double Click!

But the point is that the new Internet Information Management Office formed by Demos Morris invited American Internet companies to be consultants to formulate Internet bills. Among them, the IAB Internet Advertising Association and the American Internet Association are all invited. Everyone knows what's going on with these two associations, and they are almost all concocted by Song Yang.

Let the IAB, the Internet Society of America, and the Trade Commission work together to formulate the Internet Advertising Act. This is almost Demos Morris taking the initiative to ask for peace. Of course, according to Demos Morris, it is as soon as possible. Introduce a complete set of Internet bills to preserve the face of the Trade Commission!

   For the olive branch thrown by Demos Morris, Double-click the company naturally responded, and immediately revealed to the media that he was going to see Demos Morris and began to seek "reconciliation".

I've already taken advantage of it. Double-click the company. I don't mind giving face and reputation to Demos Morris. This originally tense scene suddenly turned into a strange scene. On the New York side, Double-click and the people from the Trade Commission The head of the fight was bloody, and on the Washington side, the double-click executive was flirting with Demos Morris, the boss of the Trade Commission.

It doesn't matter if Demos Morris kneeled first, but in the media reports, Ella Cherry tried her best not to let the Double Click Company bow her head. The company has lost face.

   On the contrary, as soon as Demos Morris, who has always been a "good guy", came out, he let the hard-boned Double Click Company immediately come to the door to ask for an interview, which made Demos Morris's reputation in Ameri.

  The news came out that many current political media and TV stations in America are touting Demos Morris, praising him as a capable leader of the great commander, and he stabilized the situation as soon as he made a move...

In the technology industry, it is a different scene. Seeing that Double-click Company has really survived the anti-monopoly lawsuit this time, the Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, and the Tennessee State Court, etc., pointed at each other and scolded them. They all retreated, and even let the Trade Commission bow their heads first, which shocked the entire Silicon Valley!

As strong as Microsoft, Wal-Mart, etc., they have all been tossed about by anti-monopoly and almost fell apart. They had to compromise and double-click the company all the way. This time, they did not pay a cent for the settlement fee and compensation, and they laughed while standing. at last.

A media in Silicon Valley directly dropped Song Yang to the first place in the latest issue of the power list in the technology industry, surpassing Jim Clark of Netscape, Bill Gates of Microsoft, AOL Case, Mike of SUN. Neely and others.

   "If this lawsuit is finally won by Double Click Company, then Double Click Company will create a new history. Bruno Song has also done it. Bill Gates, Jim Clark and others have never done a feat!"

The media are not fools. This time Double-Click has made a strong comeback. There must be many games and a series of transactions behind this. Just look at the series of supporters who stood up from Song Yang, including Adrian and Tom DeLay. After waiting for a lot of people, I know that the members of Capitol Hill are probably also involved.

If he can win this lawsuit, it will be enough to show that Double-click or Song Yang's influence in America has far surpassed that of other technology companies, not just an upstart in the technology industry. On, not just an irrelevant chess watcher...

   "Demos Morris' newly established Internet Office is indeed releasing news that he intends to invite the IAB and the American Internet Society to participate in the formulation of the Internet Act!"

In the office of Double-click Company in New York, Whitman reported to Song Yanghui. This time it was unexpected, but Demos Morris did mean "reconciliation". The prosecution had a real chance to be resolved, and Whitman couldn't help showing joy.

Hearing this, Song Yang couldn't help shaking his head. No matter what happened between Demos Morris and Ella Cherry, it was indeed beneficial to Double Click Company, but if it wasn't for Double Click Company's attitude Tough, and in this trial, he has the upper hand, and "good old man" Demos Morris may not necessarily stand up to "presiding over the overall situation".

   "You have someone tell Demos Morris's side, and when the indictment is settled, I will go to Washington to see him!"

Song Yang said to Whitman, no matter what Demos Morris's idea was, Song Yang was determined anyway, and he must let Double Click Company win the lawsuit, so as to avoid future troubles and not be a messed-up court. External reconciliation, at most with the performance, let the media report that it was Demos Morris and the Trade Commission who "won", and only on this premise will they meet Demos Morris.

   clapped his hands, Song Yang said to Whitman, "It's time to free up your hands and clean up the vampires who short double-click the company's stock!"

   Song Yang tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Whitman word by word. Seeing Song Yang's expression, Whitman knew that Song Yang's patience with those hedge funds had reached the limit.

Now the three mountains looming over Double-click Company, the fine for false advertising, the Federal Department of Justice has died down and voluntarily withdrawn it, the class action case in Tennessee has also fallen into a stalemate, and the anti-monopoly case in New York, Double-click Starting to gain an advantage is enough for Song Yang to free up his hands and teach the hedge funds who are shorting DoubleClick a lesson!

Creamer's gang of hedge funds are like toads crawling on their feet, they don't bite and respond, while Creamer's gang are not only disgusting people but also vampires, constantly shorting and double-clicking the company, and constantly releasing a lot of negative news and stories. When shorting the report, the Double-click company was regarded as a cash cow, and he was trying his best to pick up the wool.

Like dealing with Ella Cherry, Song Yang also needs a stick to beat the Wall Street short-selling institutions headed by Creamer, so that those people will never dare to touch the double-click, as well as ICQ, which may be listed in the future. The stocks of companies such as American Telecom, Fortinet, etc. will do.

Otherwise, it will be like the Nasdaq China concept stocks in later generations, it will become the back garden and cash machine of Wall Street short-selling institutions. , and then the stock price of China Concept Stock immediately plummeted.

There are even things like Muddy Water, which specializes in aerial concept stocks. If there is a slight disturbance, they will cut the leeks of China concept stocks. Song Yang doesn't want to double-click and other companies in his hands. It will become this kind of thing in the future, and it is specially shorted by Wall Street. The agency is eyeing, so this time, it is necessary to beat those people, so that they will no longer dare to have any coveted heart for double-click!

Whitman listened to Song Yang's words, Song Yang really didn't take the usual path. If America's company was shorted, it was usually a self-confessed bad luck, and he wouldn't think about being tough with those vultures and hyenas. After all, There is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. Once you are entangled by those hyenas and vultures, you will have no peace. Giants like America Airlines, who have been shorted, choose to go bankrupt and avoid disasters, and give some money to those hyenas. Dismissed.

   But Song Yang, this is going to clean up the gang of short-selling Double-click companies, which is completely different from just raising the double-click stock price.

"If it's just to increase the share price of Double-click, then as long as the board of directors of Double-click agrees to buy back, the share price of Double-click can be raised. If you want to deal with those short-selling institutions, I am afraid that you need too much capital!" Whitman said looking at Song Yang. .

If you buy back, you only need to take out a sum of money, or even tens of millions of dollars as a pretense, to attract leeks to enter the market, maybe it will save money, but to kill those short sellers, what you need is not So a little bit of money, you need to continue to buy the double-click stock to make long orders, and the double-click stock price will explode, completely blowing up those short sellers, the required capital is a huge amount of money!

   "With the double-click company's current funds, I'm afraid it can't be done at all!"

Whitman said, "Double-click is not bad at the moment. The financing at the time of listing, coupled with the support of WPP Group, has allowed Double-click to keep ordering, barely keeping the balance of payments, cash flow has begun to roll, and now it is lying on the books. The cash flow of tens of millions of dollars, but to deal with those short sellers, this amount of money is not enough to make a splash!
