Back to 1995

Chapter 392 Backhand
After seeing the press conference held by the Federal Trade Commission, the entire American technology industry was stunned.

Although it was expected before that the Double-click Company might survive the anti-monopoly investigation this time, but such a complete victory made the Trade Commission take the initiative to bow its head, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. Over there, Microsoft is being entangled in antitrust lawsuits, and is being sued continuously in various states of America. Here, the double-click company has already landed safely. It is absolutely false to say that Microsoft is not envious over there. !
Using the name of a so-called lax advertising review, paying a fine of several million dollars in exchange for the trade commission admitting defeat, Bill Gates and Microsoft's eyes are a little red, if Microsoft can do this, let alone Millions of dollars, even if the fine is increased ten times, Bill Gates is willing to pay!

Regardless of how much Microsoft's stock price has fallen in just a few days, compared to that fine, Microsoft's stock price has fallen by more than billions of dollars.

In contrast, almost immediately after the Trade Commission held a press conference and announced that the Trade Commission, under the leadership of the boss Demos Morris, had "won a complete victory", it marked the ties between the Trade Commission and the Double-Click Company. The grievances are completely over.

As soon as the news came out, during this period of time, the stock price of the Double-click company, which had been in constant decline, rose in an instant. The stock price rose from fifty dollars to seventy dollars in an instant. The scene when corporations vs. hedge funds.

Previously, the double-click share price was pulled up to a height of 158 dollars, and the market value exceeded 238 billion dollars. However, after the double-click reconciled with the hedge funds that were short-selling, the double-click stock price began to plummet, and it began to stabilize at around 75 dollars. , This also shows that the outside world has begun to recognize the double-click stock price of [-] US dollars, and the market value of [-] billion US dollars.

Although such a stock price and market value are still a bit high, they are not so outrageous in the era when the Internet is soaring.

But this time, stimulated by the news of the reconciliation, the stock price of Double-click became demonic again. Regardless of the latecomers, Double-click is estimated to become the representative of Nasdaq monster stocks, and it started to jump up and down with a little trouble.

After the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Court of New York also directly announced the end of the lawsuit, and the class action lawsuit in Tennessee also announced the end because of the withdrawal of the lawsuit by the leader David Almeda!
Seeing that the wind vane was wrong, David Almeda began to run away ahead of time. During this time, David Almeda was also living in hiding. XZ, the court in Houston kept sending her subpoenas, Blackwater Company The bounty hunters in the United States are also looking for her in the United States, which makes David Almeda very frightened.

Seeing that even the Trade Commission could not do anything about Double-click Company, David Almeda decided to run away, directly withdrawn all the charges against Double-click Company, and then flew overseas directly to avoid the limelight.

All the clouds hanging over the double-click company have begun to dissipate. Since the establishment of the double-click company, it has been continuously targeted, and now these have disappeared. This is not only for the double-click company, but also for Song Yang. The representative has always been, They were all aiming at some of Song Yang's opponents, and they were also defeated this time, giving a warning to those who want to make a move!
However, the outside world thought that this matter was about to come to an end, when the sudden news from Capitol Hill surprised everyone!
A senior congressman on Capitol Hill and the spokesperson of American Corporation on Capitol Hill, Graham, publicly proposed that Ella Cherry, the main person in charge of promoting the double-click antitrust case, should be held accountable on Capitol Hill.

Graham believes that Ella Cherry has committed a variety of crimes such as abuse of power, insider trading, bribery, misuse of funds, power-for-money transactions, etc., and demands that Capitol Hill initiate an inquiry into Ella Cherry and punish her!
This news is so explosive that almost as soon as it came out, it was immediately listed on the news in multiple news fields such as American finance, technology, Internet, and current affairs.

Almost everyone who saw this news would subconsciously have an idea that Song Yang started to fight back.

Ella Cherry has always wanted to send Song Yang to Capitol Hill, and have a "trial of the century" on Song Yang in front of the entire American people. However, I am afraid that Ella Cherry will not be able to achieve this wish. It's her, she may have to be asked again on Capitol Hill first...

And just as Graham was promoting the inquiry meeting on Ella Cherry on Capitol Hill, the Federal Trade Commission, with everyone stunned, began to make a show.

The Federal Trade Commission first directly announced the transfer of Ella Cherry from the position of the Trade Commission. This operation is no problem. If something goes wrong, the Trade Commission definitely does not want to follow the blame, but the subsequent operation made many people feel He looked dumbfounded.

The Trade Commission publicly announced that it had received reports and accusations against Ella Cherry. After Double-Click went public, when it was shorted by Wall Street hedge funds, Ella Cherry had teamed up with Wall Street institutions, which meant that Double-Click was shorted. Cherie is one of the possible involved, even one of the facilitators!

This is directly equivalent to directly defining the sex of Ella Cherry. The reason why she has been targeting Double-Click Company may not only be to promote her set of anti-trust ideas, but more likely to be a personal grievance and public revenge. It's not true. When the Trade Commission released the news, Ella Cherry's reputation was completely ruined. No matter what her real intentions were, passers-by would only remember her rumors of public revenge.

Subsequently, the Trade Commission, jointly with the Federal Ministry of Justice and prosecutors, began to prosecute Ella Cherry on multiple charges of dereliction of duty, abuse of power, and insider trading.

On the same day, in New York, Ella Cherry, dressed in black, was handcuffed into the car by several New York Federal Police officers with an indifferent face. The picture started to go crazy throughout America. When she got into the car, Ella Cherry Cherry turned her head and glanced in the direction of the media, with the same indifferent expression on her face, but her expression still showed a look of exhaustion, but in front of the camera, Ella Cherry was still holding on.

At the Microsoft headquarters, Bill Gates, who is discussing with Ballmer, Brad Smith, Todd and others to resolve and publicize Microsoft's antitrust troubles, was also shocked when he saw the news of Ella Cherry's arrest. Big eyes!

After a long time, the world's richest man finally spit out a classic American curse, double-click can win, which has exceeded Bill Gates' expectations. , were sent to the federal prison, which made Bill Gates feel like he had seen him for a long time.

I don't know how the Standard Oil, Telephone and Telegraph Group, which has been split up after anti-monopoly experience, will feel when they see this news!
"In my opinion, the consultant that Microsoft should hire the most is not those lawyers or members of Congress, but Bruno Song."

After watching the news, Bill Gates couldn't help but made a joke to the left and right, which made everyone burst into laughter.

"The trouble of double-clicking is over, and Microsoft's trouble has just begun. However, double-clicking also proves to us that in this era, Microsoft can win the opponent, no matter who it is!"

Bill Gates said to the slightly gloomy Microsoft executives that the double-click victory is a good thing for Microsoft. It proves that today's American Federation is not the past era and can be easily killed. A giant company, and then split it, which is a good thing for Microsoft.

"How dare they..."

In Georgia, a party is being held in an old-fashioned castle in the suburbs. The stone walls outside the castle are already rusty, showing the age of the castle.

The speaker was an old man at the party. When he saw the news of Ella Cherry's arrest, he said angrily. The drink in his hand was spilled on the expensive carpet because of his excitement.

But at this time, no one cares about these things, they are all staring at the news on TV. This castle belongs to the Winslow family. More than ten years ago, members of the Winslow family went to England and fiddled with it. Returning a title is useless in America, but for the Winslow family, this title adds to the heritage. This castle is also the place where Edward Winslow stays every time he returns to Georgia.

At the party in the castle, all the old white men were basically veteran congressmen and powerful figures in Georgia. These people were all Anglo-Saxon congressmen, and they were also the heritage of the Winslow family in Georgia.

Edward Winslow returned to Georgia this time to solve the backyard fire and solve the troubles of his junior Liam Winslow.

Before the double-click anti-monopoly case was opened, Song Yang asked the Elephant Party to knock the mountains and shake the tiger, start ahead of time, and gave Edward Winslow and others a warning to withdraw from the matter.

"They are provoking, they are provoking us. No matter how Ella Cherry is, she is also a member of Anglo-Saxon. She did not fulfill her promise, and we need to punish her. It is not their turn..."

A veteran state congressman from Georgia watched TV and yelled that he didn't care whether Ella Cherry was arrested, but that at this point in time, arresting Ella Cherry was equivalent to giving The Anglo-Saxon MPs slapped them, almost ignoring them, not to mention the previous broken rules.

"Ella Cherry cannot be sentenced. Once she enters federal prison, otherwise it will be a heavy blow to Anglo-Saxon!"

At the party, other people also said that to them, an Ella Cherry is nothing, even if they were shot in the street, it would be fine, but the key point is that everyone who cares knows that Ella Cherry After joining forces with them, the Anglo-Saxon MPs, now that Ella Cherry has an accident, they can't even keep their people. This is a huge blow to their influence. Who will dare to help them in the future?
"enough!"
