Back to 1995

Chapter 346 The situation changes suddenly
What is the highest state of a melon eater? If you eat melons and eat yourself, I am afraid that Song Yang would never have thought that Andy Lake could get the idea of ​​ICNC TV station on him.

There are not a few people who eat melons today, especially in the technology industry. Many Internet companies in Silicon Valley are paying close attention. Although today's court trial may not have immediate results, it is likely to be related to the wind vane of the future Internet industry!
In particular, Netscape and Microsoft are paying close attention to it. If the double-click company suffers bad luck this time, the next one is likely to be Microsoft.

So Microsoft is also concerned about 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 wave of telecommunications mergers and acquisitions is the rise of the Internet.

If the Internet industry is suppressed, then the telecommunications industry is likely to be affected rarely. Large-scale mergers and acquisitions in the telecommunications and media industries, not to mention being terminated, at least have to weigh whether they will be cleaned up in the future. Companies such as WorldCom will never Don't dare to launch a shocking merger and acquisition so recklessly.

Of course, if the double-click company resists this time, then everything will be easy to talk about, and the singing and dancing will continue to drink...

Ella Cherry led a large group of people and arrived at the New York court in a mighty manner. When Ella Cherry got out of the car with a sullen face in black, the media and people who were watching The viewers of the TV broadcast felt a sense of pressure for a moment. The Internet Iron Lady's first appearance was full of aura.

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

Executives from the legal department at the Microsoft headquarters in Seattle introduced 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 person who has the closest relationship with Ella Cherry is Boise from the Antitrust Bureau. According to the information we have received, if Netscape's case against Microsoft is accepted, Microsoft will face Boise!"

Bill Gates, who was still in the mood to eat melons and watch movies, suddenly lost his smile when he heard this. There is no need to ask who this Bois is from, just that he has a close relationship with Ella Cherry. Bill Gates Ci didn't like him any more.

Just relying on Ella Cherry, who is chasing Double-Click Company fiercely, she knows what life will be like for Microsoft once Boyce is stalking her.

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

Ella Cherry, who arrived at the gate of the New York court, was immediately surrounded by a bunch of reporters, asking various questions.

The siege of double-clicking was originally caused 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 kept a cold face, but she didn't get angry today, "I believe in the federal law, the New York justice, and the jury. The most correct judgment will be made for this lawsuit, if according to the federal antitrust law, some companies should immediately stop their monopoly business, or be split up or even shut down!"

The reporters present listened silently to the words of this strong woman in the technology industry. They all knew that Ella Cherry was tough, but as soon as she came up, she threatened to dismantle Double-Double, and even make Double-Double bankrupt, which was beyond the reach of many media and reporters. expected.

"Excuse me, what kind of lawsuit will this lawsuit bring against Bruno Song?"

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

The reporters present asked Ella Cherry various questions. Some asked how she planned to torment Song Yang this time, and some media from Silicon Valley asked worriedly. This time Ella Cherry was only going to deal with Song Yang. Double-clicking on one company still requires cleaning up the entire Internet industry.

"I believe that the federal law will treat every Internet company fairly, and the anti-monopoly law is to keep more Internet companies alive!" Ella Cherry faced the crowd of cameras, promoting her theory.

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 moment and asked Ella Cherry. Seeing this scene, the surrounding media all looked like they were watching a show.

This is the benefit of having your own media people. At critical moments, you can muddy the water. As a TV station with big money, it is unreasonable to be unreasonable. This lawsuit does not matter whether it wins or loses, and it has nothing to do with who occupies the morality. Anyway, ICNC has a clear-cut stand Support the big benefactor!
When Ella Cherry saw the logo on the ICNC reporter, she snorted coldly, then just sneered, and with a look of winning, she led a group of people behind her to the New York court.

Ella Cherry didn't mean to quarrel with ICNC. Her energy today was devoted to today's lawsuit. As long as this lawsuit has the upper hand and wins the lawsuit, everything will be based on what she said!
Just as Ella Cherry brought people in, another group of vehicles drove over mightily, and the formation was much larger than Ella Cherry's.

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

The moment Song Yang got out of the car, the flash of the camera immediately turned white.

Compared with Ella Cherry, the media was more interested in Song Yang. Even though a large group of reporters blocked the front, the reporters kept raising their microphones towards Song Yang.

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

"After the market opened today, Double-click's stock price fell below the issue price again. Will Double-click launch a repurchase plan?!"

"What do you think, Song, about Ms. Ella Cherry's claim that Double-Click is to be split up?!"

Song Yang heard that the stock price fell again. Knowing that yesterday's statement was in vain, it was a good thing that it was not issued. He bought the double-click stock and waited for Song Yang and the double-click board to repurchase those people. When Double-click just issued a nonsensical statement, many people's mentality completely collapsed. There were even rumors that Song Yang was going to breach the agreement when it went public, which caused Double-click's stock price to fall again today.

Song Yang looked at the surrounding cameras with a smile on his face, and nodded slightly, looking very relaxed.

"Double-click will not be delisted. I can only say that today this is just a farce. I believe that the commander-in-chief, the trade committee, the communications committee, etc., do not want to see the Internet industry 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 tiger's skin to pull the banner, not to mention the endorsement by the commander-in-chief, and even related the safety of the double-click company to the entire Internet. It seemed that once the double-click was over, the entire Nasdaq collapsed...

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

The CNN TV station, which is afraid that it will not be lively, even set up a special program group, invited several experts in the legal and technological industries and celebrities as guests, and rebroadcasted this "trial of the century" with great momentum.

"Facts will prove that Ella Cherry is simply making trouble out of no reason. After thinking about it for three days and three nights, I can't figure it out. Why did Ella Cherry bring Double-Double to court?"

Professor Tristan, who was sitting in the CNN program group, was still unabashedly "Song blowing", and he was furious at Ella Cherry when he came up.

Tristan's combat power alone was enough to surpass the sum of the other guests. After spraying for 3 minutes, the host couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly changed the subject, handed the microphone to another guest, and then Let Tristan spray it, not only Ella Cherry, but also the boss of the entire trade committee, Diris Morris, and a group of people in the New York State Court who accepted the lawsuit, will be punished by Tristan Sprayed into a sieve.

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

In the New York court, the main people who were questioned today were the executives of the Double-click company headed by Whitman and Ryan. Song Yang basically appeared in court to testify, but now basically all the attention is on Song Yang. But for the legal team and the executives of the double-click company, this is a good thing, so they don't have to be stared under the spotlight.

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

Ella Cherry and the lawyers from the Trade Commission were the first to launch an attack, "We have an email here, this is an email sent by Double-Click to advertising agencies in the states of America, and the email asks all cooperating Internet advertisers, The websites all abide by the Internet advertising standards and technologies formulated by DoubleClick, and of course the advertising prices!"

After 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 at this time, "This is completely confusing the public and misleading the jury and everyone who watched the trial. , Let the outside world misunderstand Double-click Company!"

This was originally just an ordinary protest, and everyone present and those who were eating melons and watching a movie in front of the TV didn't pay much attention to it. Ella Cherry and the lawyer were also talking in a low voice, but at this moment Suddenly, the presiding judge sitting at the head of the court was 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 being broadcasted, she immediately seized the opportunity and gave Ella Cherry a face shot. Her surprised expression immediately appeared on the TV station In front of countless audiences.
