Chapter 391 Medal of Merit

In the conference room, all the directors of the trade committee looked at Song Yang blankly. Of course they understood what Song Yang meant.

None of the members of the trade committee thought that when they voluntarily made concessions and were willing to end the lawsuit, Song Yang would not let go and would continue to pursue and fight fiercely.

Several directors of the trade committee felt absurd. Just now, Song Yang's attitude towards Demos Morris made them think that Song Yang was not as rumored, but now they understand that he is indeed a human being. In the shadow of the famous tree, the media did not make any mistakes in reporting Song Yang. Song Yang just wanted to kill the grass and root it out!
Song Yang asked to find out the problem that caused the Trade Commission and Double-Click Company, that is, the sinner, who else could be besides Ella Cherry?

Demos Morris looked at Song Yang. He originally thought that after the lawsuit was over, he would just find a reason to kick Ella Cherry out of the Trade Commission, so that he would save face and not have to Too much offense to the antitrust school and the Anglo-Saxon MPs.

But Song Yang obviously didn't think so. Demos Morris could hear the meaning of Song Yang's words, that is to kill the grass and roots, and to use Ella Cherry to give all those who want to attack Song Yang in the Federation A warning, if you want to attack Song Yang, you have to see Ella Cherry's fate, so Ella Cherry must be punished, it must not be as simple as leaving her current position!
"Song, everything before was a misunderstanding between the Trade Commission and DoubleClick. As for other matters, they are internal affairs of the Trade Commission, and I will handle them well!"

After thinking for a while, Demos Morris still didn't want to sell Ella Cherry, and he naturally didn't have any good feelings for Ella Cherry, but this didn't mean that he would sell Ella Cherry himself. It's not his character to send Cherie to the federal prison. Once he does, his reputation in the federal agency will also be affected, and he will offend too many people.

When Song Yang heard this, he shook his head directly and retorted, "If those who caused all these problems are not punished as they should be, then all this is not over!"

Hearing this, Demos Morris and several executives of the trade committee present looked at each other in blank dismay. The meaning of Song Yang's words was very clear. I would rather drag the lawsuit with the Trade Commission, which was far beyond Demos Morris' expectations.

Immediately, Demos Morris was put on fire. It was also the first time he had come across a company that double-clicked such an iron. He would rather file a lawsuit than take a step back. He insisted on taking a bite back Just do it!
But Song Yang's attitude really made Demos Morris feel uncomfortable. If Double-Click is really stubborn and doesn't let go, he will spend it with the trade committee, then he will not be able to step down. In the end, it was him who was unlucky.

"Member Dimos, I want to solve the problem, whether it is a good thing for the trade committee or you, Congressman Dimos, it will allow the outside world, even the Grand Commander, to see you, Congressman Dimos For the Trade Commission, there is also the influence of the entire telecommunications and Internet industries!"

Song Yang is telling Demos Morris that getting rid of Ella Cherry will make many people criticize him, but it will also let the commander see his influence in the trade committee, so that The outside world sees his courage, instead of offering him as a good old man, or even a clay bodhisattva, they are in awe on the surface, but in fact they don't take it seriously at all.

"After this incident is over, I think not only the Double-Click Company, but even the entire American Internet Society will cooperate more with Congressman Deimos and the Trade Commission!"

When Demos Morris heard this, his heart thumped, and after killing Ella Cherry, no one would dare to sing against him again in the Trade Council in the future.

And Song Yang also put forward a condition, as long as Demos helps Song Yang get rid of Ella Cherry, then Double-Click, and the American Internet Association will fully support him, Demos Morris, funding and so on. He no longer needs to worry, even the supporters behind the major member companies of the Internet Association will support Demos Morris.

Demos Morris looked at Song Yang, and after a while, Song Yang had never had any problems with his reputation since his debut. Demos Morris had no doubts about Song Yang's words. I won't fool him, this kind of thing, unless Song Yang doesn't want to mess around in America in the future, he won't mess around.

"There is a problem, and it really needs to be solved. People who cause misunderstandings between the Trade Commission and Double-click should be punished!" Demos Morris looked at Song Yang and finally said.

Song Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and chuckled, "Double-click company will issue an announcement, accept the punishment from the Trade Commission, and pay a fine of $500 million to the Trade Commission!"

When Gleick and Clifford Chance got legal counsel with the Board of Trade and began working on a settlement agreement, all the dark clouds hanging over DoubleClick began to lift.

"Ella Cherry's incident requires Song's cooperation. I need people from the Xiang Party to file charges against Ella Cherry on Capitol Hill. I will ask the Trade Commission to initiate an investigation against her!"

In Demos Morris's office, Song Yang was talking with Demos Morris. Demos needed Song Yang's support, and the Elephant Party would pick things up, otherwise it would be too eye-catching. Now Capitol Hill has In the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Elephant Party has the upper hand. Dimos is doing things in the Trade Commission, and Capitol Hill is covering up, which is enough to clean up Ella Cherry.

"However, even if this happens, Ella Cherry won't stay in the federal prison for too long, at most two years, or even shorter, and she will probably be released on bail. I hope Song you understand!"

Demos Morris told Song Yang in advance that there were supporters behind Ella Cherry, and even if Demos Morris attacked her, it was impossible for him to kill her. Ten years or something.

Song Yang frowned, but he let go quickly. He knew that what Demos Morris said was true, but it was enough. , and it is impossible to add obstacles to Song Yang on the bright side, and also give other people a warning!
"Rep. Dimos, there is another matter that needs your help. I hope that the Trade Committee can support Bill 230 proposed by the Internet Association and let it be voted on Capitol Hill as soon as possible."

Demos Morris couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "For this matter, I think it would be more useful for you to find Tom Delay. I will support this bill!"

Although the general election was a stretch, the Elephant Party gained a firm foothold on Capitol Hill, and Tom Delay's influence on Capitol Hill also began to soar.

After the settlement agreement was signed and Song Yang and others left, Demos Morris said to the executives in front of him, "Hold a press conference and announce the news!"

The few people in front of him are all his confidantes, so they naturally understand that what should be said at the press conference must be under the power of Demos Morris to turn the tide, and with his own strength, double-click the company to make a decision. Concession, accepting a fine of up to 500 million dollars issued by the Trade Commission, and solved the troubles that have plagued the Trade Commission for more than a year!
As for the actual fact, whether the Trade Commission took the initiative to admit defeat and withdraw the lawsuit against the Double-Click Company, the Trade Commission will not care about it. Anyway, in this wave of Trade Commission propaganda, Demos Morris has led the Trade Commission. Committee marches to victory...

New York, in a small office building near the New York courthouse, Ella Cherry was inexplicably upset today. In New York, the lawsuit with the Double-click company, since the first lawsuit that day, has continued in the past few months. The court has been wrangling several times, but there has been no progress on Ella Cherry's side.

During this time in New York, Ella Cherry's department and subordinates in the Trade Commission have been taken away by Demos Morris on Washington's side, and now there is no room for Ella Cherry in Washington. Land, Washington can't go back, so it can only die in New York.

"There's news from Washington that Demos Morris met with Bruno Song and people from the Double-Click Company today!"

When Ella Cherry was upset, a subordinate suddenly barged in outside the office and hurriedly said to Ella Cherry, upon hearing the news, the lawyers and prosecutors of Ella Cherry's team in the office The faces of the staff all changed drastically at the same time. They all heard the wind that Demos Morris intended to end this lawsuit that could not see a victory.

Ella Cherry's eyelids were also twitching, but she still held on, and reprimanded the subordinates who ran in, "This lawsuit is not over yet, as long as it is not at the last moment, we have a chance. I will not let the Trade Commission Reconcile with DoubleClick, and I will personally go to Washington to stop Demos..."

"It's too late!"

The phone in the office rang, and after a person answered the phone, he looked at Ella Cherry blankly with a blank face, "The Trade Commission has held a press conference, and Ella Cherry is in charge of you... "

In the entire Silicon Valley, while watching the rivalry between Netscape and Microsoft, the news that shocked all Internet companies suddenly came out. The Trade Commission and Double-Click reached a settlement agreement.

Although the Trade Commission held a press conference and announced that it had imposed a fine of $500 million on the double-click company in the name of lax review of advertising content, at the press conference, the spokesperson of the Trade Commission also emphasized that it was Dimos. Morris imposed a fine on Double-Click and asked Double-Click to rectify some businesses and stop placing some advertisements.

It seems that the Trade Commission is aggressive and presses Double-click to make concessions, but what everyone pays attention to is that the Trade Commission withdrew the lawsuit and declared that it will no longer launch any investigations against Double-click for monopoly issues. Everyone understands that this is actually It was the Trade Commission and Demos Morris who voluntarily conceded defeat, that is, the double-click monopoly case that was making a lot of noise ended with double-click winning a big victory!
Compared with the $500 million ticket, double-clicking is nothing at all, but more like a medal for the winner to show off!
