Chapter 463

Inside the New York Federal Prison, Ajit Wheeler was pacing back and forth in the meeting room. Ajit Wheeler never thought that one day he would come to this kind of place, and they usually send other people in, but Now he has to come here.

There was a movement, and accompanied by several federal prison detectives, Ella Cherry, wearing a numbered prison uniform, walked in.

Ajit Wheeler looked at Ella Cherry, and saw Ella Cherry, who hadn't seen him in just half a year. She was already a little thinner, but now she was even thinner, and her prison uniform seemed a bit empty .

After being arrested before, Ella Cherry assumed all the responsibilities under Edward Winslow's Anglo-Saxon's tail-docking request for survival, and was punished for three counts of insider trading, abuse of power, and embezzlement of funds. The Federal Department of Justice reached a settlement in exchange for three years in prison!
Ella Cherry took almost all of the charges, and after being convicted and the spotlight taken from Ella Cherry, Edward Winslow's gang of Anglo-Saxon MPs, and the Brandeis, It started working for her too.

First, she was transferred to this prison with better conditions, and then her sentence was shortened in various names. Now Ella Cherry has less than one and a half years left in her sentence, and if it is further reduced, she may not need to stay Two years, as long as a large bond is paid, Ella Cherry may be able to get out after spending less than a year in federal prison.

When Ajit Wheeler met Ella Cherry, she was thin but good-looking.

"Damn it, they dare to treat you like this. It's Bruno Song and his gang who should go to federal prison!"

Ajit Wheeler relentlessly complained to Ella Cherry, "Damn it, you don't know what's going on now, Bill 230 was passed, and those gentlemen on Capitol Hill are selling The ropes around their necks..."

Ella Cherry listened calmly to the "old friend" complaining. Ajit Wheeler was not a member of the Brandeis school, but he was always close to the Brandeis school and conservatives. The relationship between people is naturally good.

After chattering for a while, Ajit Wheeler looked up and saw Ella Cherry's calm expression, "Boyce wanted to come over, but he is too busy now, he is the federal justice department suing Microsoft this time." The lawyer who won the anti-monopoly case, but Boyce asked me to say hello to you for him, and after you come out, you can join Boyce's advisory team, or go to a university as a professor..."

Even if someone with an identity like Ella Cherry suffered a big loss in front of Song Yang, lost face, and took the blame, but to the Brandeis School, she represented meritorious service and would naturally replace her Make arrangements, otherwise who will dare to charge forward in the future.

Coupled with Edward Winslow and others, although Ella Cherry cannot be restored to her previous identity, there is still no problem in serving as a consultant in a certain department.

"Actually, now is not the best opportunity to deal with the Internet and the technology industry!"

Ella Cherry spoke to Ajit Wheeler, and Ajit Wheeler couldn't help being taken aback. He wondered if it was the six months of life in the federal prison that changed Ella Cherry's character. It used to be quite aggressive.

Seeing Ajit Wheeler's expression, Ella Cherry did not explain, but said, "Maybe we lost from the very beginning of the lawsuit against the Double-Click Company!"

"The President, Capitol Hill, Wall Street, the Federal Department of Justice, the Trade Commission, the FCC, etc., don't want to see lawsuits against the Internet happen!"

Ella Cherry looked calm, and said in a cold tone, thinking that the failure this time did not lie in the strength of Double-Click Company, but was rooted in the General Commander and the people on Capitol Hill. With the group of people behind him, he naturally didn't want anyone to ruin everything.

Ajit Wheeler could hear the meaning of Ella Cherry's words, but this made him even more irritable. The Internet is in America, and it is now a popular pursuit. Too many people have been kidnapped, and they want to block it , Not saying it’s impossible, but it’s too difficult. Previously, Ella Cherry was not so much sniping at Double-Click Company, it was more like trying to interrupt the frenzy of the Internet, but obviously she failed...

"Could it be, are we just watching like this?!" Ajit Wheeler couldn't help asking annoyedly.

Ella Cherry got up and was about to end the meeting. Before leaving, Ella Cherry said meaningfully, "Time is the best answer. Any industry will go through two stages of frenzy and bubble. Wait until this time." When the industry bubble bursts, it may be the time to find out all those damned rats who hide in the corner and hide in the corner, and give them a trial!"

Ella Cherry almost gritted her teeth to say the last sentence, and there was a distorted feeling on her face that made Ajit Wheeler feel scared.

Seeing the figure of Ella Cherry leaving, Ajit Wheeler couldn't help being silent for a while. He knew that Ella Cherry had no intention of giving up revenge, but just hibernated, and then found an opportunity to give her opponent a fatal blow. hit!
However, Ajit Wheeler is worried about whether the bubble mentioned by Ella Cherry will really come. As early as a few years ago, some people said that the Internet is a bubble, from academia to Wall Street investment industry.

As a result, the frenzy of the Internet is one wave after another. People who bought Internet stocks are simply making crazy money. For this reason, Buffett, who believes in the value of investment, is scolded bloody by others, thinking that he does not understand investment at all. !

In this form, there are indeed people who believe that there is a bubble in the Internet. After all, Yahoo’s price-earnings ratio has exceeded 200 times. What kind of concept is this? The price-to-earnings ratio is four times higher than that of Microsoft, that is, the stock price and market value are four times higher than Microsoft's!

But knowing what’s the use, Yahoo is still touted as the number one Internet stock, and countless people have bought it. It’s impossible to see the day when Yahoo’s stock price bubble bursts. Ajit Wheeler left the federal government with a heavy heart. prison.

Song Yang didn't know about Ajit Wheeler, so he found his "old friend" Ella Cherry, and was about to start messing around again.

But even if you know it, you don’t care too much. There is indeed a bubble. There are fake accounts and frauds. Don’t do too much in Nasdaq. When the bubble bursts, some people will indeed be unlucky.

But the sky is falling, there is a tall one, and Enron is in front of the thunder, and the rest, to be honest, are just insignificant at all. At that time, all the attention will be on Kenneth, the president of the cheap fellow Enron, and the Internet No one cares about the bubble in the company.

Even if someone is staring at Song Yang, after the Internet bubble burst, hundreds of thousands of Internet companies are the same, and the stock price can fall from [-] to [-], and those who trouble Song Yang will at most turn over old accounts and get fined The big deal is that Song Yang will let Double-Click delist, and then go public when the market is good, otherwise, what else can happen, anyway, the cash will be completed by then, and the leeks will be cut. Even if ICQ, Double-click, etc. are delisted, Song Yang Don't feel bad about it!

"PayPal payment platform, how is the development going?"

On the commercial plane flying to Houston, Song Yang asked Aaron Swoer.

This trip to Houston is to meet with the people at the headquarters of the Comerica Bank to discuss cooperation with the Comerica Bank after the PayPal payment platform is launched.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk. The PayPal payment platform is to grab the job of the American Bank Group. From the development last year to the present, Song Yang has invested so much money in this project. See what it looks like.

"The development has been basically completed now, and some functions are only being improved. After the PayPal payment security center is completed, it will be able to go online!"

Aaron Swartz said to Song Yang that the biggest problem for PayPal is not how complicated the functions are or how difficult the technology is, but the security issue, which is the most important thing. Aaron Swartz wants to unite Fortinet On the anti-virus side, several large data security centers have been built for PayPal in America and overseas to ensure the security of the entire payment platform.
