Chapter 177

MFS communication company joined the ranks of snatching UUnet company, applying the famous words of General Li, who won the battle of Pingan Gele and influenced the outcome of World War II, Shanxi and Northwest are almost smashed into a pot of porridge!
It is obviously not just ShiCom, a telecommunications company, who wants to use UUnet to enter the Internet optical broadband market in one fell swoop.

And now, American Telecom, WorldCom, and MFS have launched an acquisition of UUent at the same time, making UUnet the darling of Nasdaq in an instant. The "Snow White" favored by many people has attracted countless people.

Song Yang, who was driving from New York to New Jersey to solve the American telecommunications shutdown problem, was surrounded by the media who had been prepared for a long time. The media surrounded Song Yang with long guns and short cannons, as if they were afraid that countless things would happen in the past two days. Big news, another American Telecom founder who was about to start a war with WorldCom ran away.

Song Yang was not surprised by the appearance of these reporters, otherwise he would not have come to New Jersey in such a blatant manner. There will always be some smoke bombs, which must be released through the media.

"Song, will American Telecom really buy UUnet? Affected by the acquisition, UUnet's stock price has risen sharply for two consecutive days. The current market value has hit a new high since its listing, reaching a billion dollars!"

A reporter with a Wall Street Journal sign quickly asked Song Yang, and told Song Yang that due to the influence of the three American Telecom companies, the stock price of this company, which has been listed for just one year, has been tepid, and its stock price has been extremely high in two days. So it soared by more than 20%, and those who bought UUnet were about to make money like crazy.

Song Yang raised his brows when he heard this, showing dissatisfaction with the reporter's questioning the strength of American Telecom.

"I have noticed the changes in UUnet, but this will not affect America Telecom's plans. When a suitable partner is found, no matter how much the price is, even if the current valuation is doubled, America Telecom will never give up!"

"Boom", when the reporters at the scene heard that Song Yang would do anything for UUnet, even if UUnet's stock price doubled again, he would buy it, there was a huge exclamation.

What is the concept of doubling again, that is, the market value of UUnet reaches 20 billion US dollars, which is really scary.

It seemed that some people would not believe what he said, and Song Yang said righteously, "Actually, America Telecom will contact UUnet in the near future. In addition, I will contact Microsoft, the second largest shareholder of UUnet. I believe that Bill Mr. Gates, will also be very happy to see us continue to cooperate more..."

The hands of the richest man are very long. He may not remember all the companies he has invested in over the years. UUnet is also a company he and Microsoft jointly invested in, and it is second only to UUnet founder Sitch Moore. second largest shareholder.

Hearing that Song Yang mentioned Bill Gates, the reporters present couldn't help but believe it. Everyone knows that Song Yang is now a representative figure of the "Microsoft Department" in the Internet industry.

Last year when Microsoft's IE browser was beaten by Netscape, Song Yang was the first in the Internet industry to stand up to support IE browser. Hotmail brought tens of millions of users to IE browser and helped IE browser stop This is the sign of IE browser counterattacking Netscape this year.

From the perspective of relationship, Microsoft must have a closer relationship with Song Yang. Compared with WorldCom and MFS, they must be willing to let Song Yang's American Telecom acquire UUnet.

"Song, what do you think of WorldCom President Ebes?!"

"It is rumored that WorldCom is preventing America Telecom from obtaining a telecom license and shutting down America Telecom's lines. Song, what do you think?"

"Will America Telecom have a new acquisition plan, will it acquire WiTel?"

A large group of reporters surrounded Song Yang and asked various questions. Although Song Yang had already spoken out amazingly today, saying that he would spend 20 billion dollars to buy UUnet, the reporters still wanted to go crazy from these two days. Song Yang came up with all kinds of words here.

However, even though what he was doing was against Shitong, Song Yang would never say such a thing.

"Ebes is one of the people I admire the most. I have seen many media interviews with him. WorldCom is one of the best communication companies in the world!"

Song Yang praised ShiCom first, and then changed the subject, "I don't believe that Mr. Ebes would do such a thing as obstructing America Telecom from obtaining a telecom license. Only despicable and shameless thieves and liars would do such a thing. , A coward who is afraid of his opponent will use such an unworthy thing!"

The reporters present were all good people, so they couldn't tell that Song Yang was trying to catch Ebes and scold him, and he almost scolded the old man for not being a joke, playing with old Yinbi.

A reporter who didn't think it was a big deal asked Song Yang, "Song, are you questioning Worldcom's finances? Do you think Worldcom's finances are fraudulent?!"

A group of reporters, when they heard this question, were stunned for a moment, and then they all cast appreciative glances at this reporter. This reporter is a master at invigorating people. I'm afraid that Song Yang and Ebes will not be able to strangle him to death.

Hearing this question, Song Yang waved his hands again and again, denying the three-strike combo, I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, but what he said immediately afterwards was a bit embarrassing.

"I learned that in the past ten years, in the global investment industry, only WorldCom has allowed investors to achieve an average annual rate of return of 53%. One-seventh of WorldCom, I think the telecommunications industry should learn from WorldCom's advanced experience!"

After finishing speaking, Song Yang directly asked Ulf to come and meet Greck and others.

The reporters who stayed at the scene, listening to Song Yang's "flattering" of WorldCom, always felt that something was wrong.

The average annual rate of return of telecom companies' stocks is basically stable, but WorldCom is going against the sky, and its stock price hits new highs every year. Compared with WorldCom, the stocks of other telecom companies are almost scum.

However, in the telecommunications industry, WorldCom is far inferior to companies such as Telephone and Telegraph Group and MCI in terms of market and revenue. How does WorldCom maintain such a high growth rate? !

People are afraid of making up their minds and thinking carefully, which will give birth to conspiracy theories. If there is no such thing as Song Yang, countless people will praise Worldcom, and now as long as conspiracy theories are born, people will continue to question Worldcom Is there a ghost who tampered with the account?

Even if WorldCom explains it again, some people will still take it as an excuse. In America, where the idea that the earth is square and the moon landing is a fake is popular, what is it to question a WorldCom? !

Mississippi, in the WorldCom office building, after seeing Song Yang's interview report, Ebes couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the ashtray beside his hand, and threw it directly at the TV.

"Bastard, I should have given him a taste of shotgun bullets!"

Bernard Ebes, with a livid face, gasped and cursed angrily, and all the executives of WorldCom present were silent, not daring to touch Ebes' brow.

Only Scott, Ebes' confidant, said at this time, "We need to say hello to the media immediately, and this kind of questioning of WorldCom cannot be made in America!"

The stock price is the lifeblood of WorldCom. Compared with other giants with abundant cash flow, WorldCom has a small and large capital, which is its strong stock. As long as the stock price is guaranteed, WorldCom can issue new stocks to raise funds. Stock acquisitions of family rivals.

But once WorldCom's high stock price is questioned by countless people, all of this will cease to exist. Song Yang's words directly let ShiCom completely break its defense...

WorldCom is a member of the American media, and has cooperative relations with many media. As long as you say hello, there will naturally be media giants who will suppress these questioning public opinions for WorldCom. side will not read too much.

Ebes waved his hand and asked the executives of the public relations department to act immediately to suppress Song Yang's last words, and to prevent TV stations, newspapers, radio stations, and magazines from publishing reports. There is no problem with public opinion.

Looking at the TV that was smashed into a hole, Ebes managed to regain his composure, and Ebes didn't know why. In the past, he was also a person with a deep city. Prosperous, a late bloomer who established all the characters today, if he had no city mansion, all the bones and scum that had been gnawed long ago would be gone.

But I don't know why, I feel that when I see Song Yang, I can't suppress my anger. It's not just that Song Yang is cursing him as an old thief, or questioning Shitong's fraudulent accounts.

Ebes felt that maybe the two of them had two completely different lives. He wasted half his life, working as a milkman, basketball coach, and motel. It is said that debut is the pinnacle, and in less than two years, it has reached the point of keeping pace with Ebes. This is the collision of two completely different lives.

Suppressing his anger, Ebes asked Scott, "UUnet, did you reply to us?!"

Ebes is not the kind of person who can't hold his breath. He knows what needs to be done first. After swallowing America Telecom is not advisable, he immediately changed his strategy and wanted to take down UUnet. Ebes understood that only by winning the war with America Telecom , Only then can all doubts about Shitong be resolved, and Song Yang can also be taught a profound lesson!

Scott shook his head and said helplessly, "Sitchmore and UUnet's executives are still waiting to see, especially now that UUnet's stock price is soaring, which makes Sitchmore qualified to wait and see!"

"Combined with that guy's remarks today, and MFS's pressing force, I feel that even if WorldCom acquires UUnet, they will have to pay a huge price, far exceeding the original estimate!"

"There is always a way, no one can stop the footsteps of WorldCom, whether it is American Telecom or MFS, if necessary, then solve it"!Ebes's voice was a bit chilly, and he said domineeringly.
