Back to 1995

Chapter 345

Song Yang returned to Houston. After meeting with Adrian, he drove directly to the airport. Today, he was going to New York. He didn't let others know about the whole process. The media only focused on Double-Click's shaky stock price.

After leaving, Matthews looked at his employer, "It's risky to shoot Edward Winslow!"

As Adrian's chief of staff, Matthews' power comes from Adrian. He hopes that Adrian can spend the past few years as mayor of Houston in peace, and then start to attack the position of governor.

Matthews admitted that with the support of Song Yang, Adrian's campaign fund, Adrian no longer has to worry about campaign funds, but he is facing more and more opponents.

With Adrian's current status, it is definitely not a good thing for Adrian to provoke Winslow.

Adrian glanced at Matthews. Adrian has always been very satisfied with this chief of staff. He acts cautiously and can handle it well no matter what it is, even some dirty work.

"What you want to get depends on what you give!"

Adrian uttered a philosophical sentence, looked at Matthews and said meaningfully, "Risk is also an opportunity. When you face what kind of opponent, you will have what kind of ally. Sometimes, take a certain risk, It is worth it to get more benefits!"

Offending Edward Winslow, of course, is not a good thing for Adrian, but correspondingly, it will let Song Yang, Houston, Texas, big and small donors, remember him as the one who dared to fight with Congress. The tough characters of the hundred elders of the mountain.

Similarly, inside the elephant party, Adrian, who is a "tough character", will also be remembered, but no matter what label he is labeled, the two years of cooperation with Song Yang are the moments when Adrian's popularity has risen sharply. For Adrian, it is far better than his ten years as a district councilor!

Matthews stared blankly, picked up the golf club Adrian again, and felt that he had recognized Adrian again. Some councilors were almost decided by the chief of staff behind the scenes, and Adrian was obviously not that kind of person.

Song Yang's plane landed at Kennedy Airport. There was already a queue of convoys waiting there. Gallo had also arrived. Gleick and the lawyer team led by Clifford Chance and Bob Joffe, Whitman, The executives of the double-click company led by Kaiwei Lane have also arrived.

"The double-click stock price is under a lot of pressure now, and there are many opinions from Wall Street institutions and investors!"

As soon as he got in the car, Whitman said to Song Yang, taking advantage of double-clicking on the company and being in the whirlpool of public opinion, there are not a few people who have made trouble in troubled waters, especially the Wall Street short-selling hedge funds led by Creamer, Chanos and others. Quite active, either accepting interviews with media reporters, criticizing Double-Click Company, or constantly initiating short-selling of Double-Click Company.

This made the institutions on Wall Street that hold double-click stocks very dissatisfied, especially the small investors who bought double-click stocks. The management has to be impeached and asked to replace Whitman, the double-click president!

In fact, this is what Ella Cherry wants to achieve, to make Double-Click the target of public criticism, to be opposed by everyone, and to make Double-Click mess up.

Whitman knew that these public opinions had no effect on her. As long as Song Yang, the major shareholder, did not oppose her, no one would let her leave Double-Click. However, the overwhelming public opinion still gave her a headache.

"Do you want to start the repurchase?!" Ryan said to Song Yang with concern. He, the co-president of Double-click Marketing, is worth all of Double-click shares. He has not had a chance to cash out until next year. Double-click the stock.

Seeing the double-click stock price keep falling, Ryan's value has also shrunk in a straight line. Now he is also starting to worry whether Double-click will really be delisted!

Song Yang glanced at Kaiwei Lane, seeing the worried face of Kaiwei Lane, just shook his head, "No need!"

Even Ryan, the co-president, is starting to worry. It is conceivable that double-clicking is what the market is now, and it is almost like nothing.

But Song Yang still didn't have the slightest intention to double-click the stock price, so he just said, "It's not yet time!"

Hearing this, Ryan's face was a little sad, and he looked at Song Yang a little hesitant to speak. Double-click's equity only accounted for a part of Song Yang's net worth, or even a small part, but it was all of Ryan and Double-click executives' net worth Well, the so-called caring is chaotic, Song Yang and Ryan's moods are naturally completely different.

When getting out of the car, after seeing Ryan's expression, Song Yang finally said, "An announcement can be made to tell all investors who double-clicked that the stock price of Double-click will return to normal and will not be delisted!"

This was basically a bluff, but when Ryan heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, knowing that Song Yang did not intend to let the double-click become cannon fodder completely. As for whether those investors believe it or not, it is none of Song Yang's business.

"Tomorrow, the first court session will be officially held, and it will be rebroadcasted at that time. New York State TV, CNN and other TV stations will broadcast the trial. Ella Cherry and personnel from the Internet Department of the Trade Commission, including prosecutors from the Federal Department of Justice Judges will appear in court!"

After entering the hotel, a group of lawyers surrounded Song Yang and handed Song Yang a lot of information.

After Clifford Chance finished speaking, Bob Joffe then said to Song Yang, "Song, don't be nervous, this is just a small scene!"

Song Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard Bob Yoffe's words, but for Bob Yoffe and the others, Song Yang's appearance tomorrow was the biggest worry for their legal team.

"Song, if tomorrow, Ella Cherry and the prosecutor ask you questions that exceed our estimates, you can refuse to answer them!"

Clifford Chance also said that being aggressively interrogated in court and in front of so many cameras would probably be humiliating to many celebrities in America. Those people would even provoke Song Yang on purpose, To make Song Yang lose his mind and speak unscrupulously, to get the answer they want, so the lawyer team would rather Song Yang not say a word tomorrow, and do not want problems to arise.

"Those people are all clowns. We will definitely win tomorrow!" Gallo said, waving his fists aside. He hated Ella Cherry, who was staring at Song Yang's side, and even wished he could win. Throw some punches at Ella Cherry and those guys tomorrow.

Song Yang waved his hand and told Gallo and others to leave. He flipped through the thick stack of documents. All the questions listed above were questions that might be asked tomorrow. Of course, Ella Cherry would definitely not be so silent. Follow the rules and even ask outrageous questions.

For many people, this night was a sleepless night. When he woke up in the morning, Greg had dark circles under his eyes. Now, what worries Greg the most is not the lawsuit, but the Bruno family, which has finally improved. , will fail.

On the other hand, Song Yang and Gallo rested quite well. Gallo even transferred a special team of security personnel for the Blackwater Company today. Anyway, the momentum cannot be lost.

Song Yang, who was eating breakfast, glanced at a large group of security personnel with big arms and thick waists. He knew that these people were security personnel, but he didn't know why he thought they were robbing the law field, or they were going to a bank in America. It's a big vote!

Looking at the local TV stations in Washington, Song Yang looked up at the TV from time to time. It was almost time to go to the court. When Song Yang was about to get up, he suddenly saw a piece of news on the TV station.

"The United States Department of Justice, the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, was arrested today. The Washington State Police Department announced that it would charge him with multiple crimes such as abuse of power, intimidation, blackmail, and information disclosure. This is the federal Department of Justice. One of the supervisors!"

Washington State TV reported with brief news in between advertisements, obviously not wanting to attract too much attention. For the federal judiciary, this is obviously not something worth reporting.

The federal judiciary in America is a behemoth. The head of the federal judiciary is the Attorney General of America, a federal judiciary with more than 60 agencies. Except for the most famous FBI, which belongs to this department, There are also Antitrust Bureau, Statistics Bureau, Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives Bureau, etc., all of which belong to it. It only manages the air in the middle, and it can also manage the air. It also has an Environment and Natural Resources Bureau...

And what is reported in the news now is the American federal judiciary, the most powerful department, the executive of the Law Enforcement Bureau. The cooperation of the trust bureau will do.

Clifford Chance and Bob Joffe, who were having breakfast, raised the corners of their mouths slightly when Song Yang saw the news. Although they soon returned to normal, after so many years as lawyers , Observing meticulously, observing and analyzing the opponent with facial expressions, the two still couldn't help but look at each other.

However, neither Chance nor Bob Joffe seemed to have discovered anything. After eating the last bite, they got up and began to pack their things.

At the gate of the New York State Court, today it can be described as crowded with crowds of reporters and media, surrounded by crowds, financial, financial, technology, Internet and even entertainment media also came to join in the fun. In recent years, American venture capitalists have become the most popular Internet upstarts , I'm going to appear in court today and be questioned. It's hard not to overwhelm the enthusiasm.

Not to mention, the New York court announced yesterday that Song Yang would appear in court today.

Among the media, including several familiar logos, the media and reporters from NBC TV also rushed to the scene, and among them were several media teams with microphones, recording pens, and cameras. They all bear the logo of ICNC TV station.

Although it has not yet started broadcasting, ICNC is still at the forefront of eating melons. As the president of ICNC TV station, Andy Lake, this time he personally led a team to collect materials, which can be regarded as preparations for the opening of the channel.

Looking at the media and reporters waiting for Song Yang to arrive in front of him, Andy Lake sighed. If ICNC TV station starts broadcasting, and an exclusive interview with Song Yang, wouldn't it be full of enthusiasm? !
