Chapter 167 A wave of flow

  On the phone, Irene spoke anxiously to Song Yang about the sudden sharp downturn in the market.

Someone was talking about Double-Click and America Telecom, and it was in the middle of the night, almost in the middle of the night, the American Trade Commission, the American Communications Commission, and many other agencies and departments all spoke out at the same time, almost undisguisedly for Song Yang The sharpening knife here is rattling.

  Back in the morning, the big news finally broke out. The Internet Advertising and Media Management Department of the American Trade Commission, which was just established last year, finally announced the start of an investigation into the Double-Click Company!

On the other hand, the Inter-American Communications Commission is covering up. Although it did not directly say that it refused to issue a telecommunication license to American Telecom, it said that it would consider the class action lawsuit initiated by Wall Street futures companies against American Telecom. He waved his knife at American Telecom.

   After hanging up the phone, Song Yang saw that there were calls from Whitman, Gleick, Chris Jain and others. Song Yang directly replied "Got it", and threw the phone aside.

  Song Yang knew that someone would target Double-Click and America Telecom, but he didn't expect that those people looked so ugly that he couldn't wait.

Song Yang could imagine who would be the ones who would attack the double-click. Not surprisingly, it was the Trade Commission, the group of Anglo-Saxon conservatives headed by Ella Cherry, and Wall Street who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. A large group of people who took a bite out of the Double-Click Company.

  As for the attack on American Telecom, it must be the work of several major telecom groups in America. The futures investment companies on Wall Street alone cannot cause such a big storm.

   This is more like the telecommunications giants of America, and America Telecom is under attack, but I don't know which telecommunications giant is the main one for this shot.

   Jenny, who was in Song Yang's arms, woke up at some point, looked at Song Yang who was frowning, "Did something happen?!"

   Seeing Jenny's worried expression, Song Yang stretched out his hand towards the cigarette box, then retracted it, with a smile on his face, "It's just a small problem!"

  Jenny didn't believe this. The big cream cake had never seen Song Yang so worried. Jenny climbed up like a snake, and then printed it on Song Yang's lips.

   When leaving the small apartment, Song Yang, who was healed in a unique way by the big cream cake, was already in a good mood, but it was a bit costly.

  The worry in Song Yang's heart has dissipated. Song Yang knows that what should come will come, and this thing will definitely not be able to hide.

  Song Yang came directly to the office of the Harbor Building. Compared with the carnival last night, the double-click company today is a bit more dull.

  The media are all rudderless. Yesterday they were touting Double-click and American Telecom, but today they saw that they might be about to make a comeback, so they all changed their tune.

Now the major media are starting to discuss whether the double-click company can escape this catastrophe, whether it can be listed on time, and America Telecom is whether it can get a license. If not, then America Telecom's project is not a It's a miracle, but a big mess involving hundreds of millions of dollars!

  It seems that overnight, the wind vane has changed. Yesterday it was full of praises and flattery, but today it is full of pessimism. It seems that the double-click company and American Telecom are already in jeopardy.

  When Song Yang arrived, Whitman, Greg, Chris Jain, and Eric, who just got up from the crowd of women, looked dazed.

   "Who can tell me what's going on?!"

Eric rubbed his head, and suddenly changed for some reason. Seeing that billions of dollars were about to come into his hands, and now he was told that the cooked duck might fly, which was a bit too exciting, Eric I feel a little unbearable.

  Chris Jain threw several newspapers to Eric. Seeing Song Yang coming in, Whitman and the others immediately stood up.

"a cup of coffee!"

  Song Yang was not in a hurry, let everyone sit down, and then said to an assistant from the double-click company, asking her to prepare a cup of coffee first.

   At this time, the voice from the TV attracted the attention of the crowd, and Song Yang raised his head.

   "Today we connected with the Director of the American Board of Trade, Ms. Ella Cherry!"

  The financial host of ABC TV, said to the camera, and then a picture of Ella Cherry appeared on the TV.

   "Ms. Ella Cherry, can you tell us why the American Board of Trade initiated an investigation into Double Click?!"

  Seeing the figure of Ella Cherry, Whitman, Greck and the others all turned solemn. The other party was almost clearly targeting the Double-Click Company.

"The Internet industry is developing rapidly, especially with the emergence of the concept of Internet digital advertising, there is an industry that has a phenomenal performance of revenue from zero to $300 million in one year, which has never happened in history. Pass!"

   "The commander-in-chief and members of the American Congress all hope that the Internet can develop smoothly, but it does not mean that certain companies can be tolerated to use this industry to shamelessly engage in improper profits!"

  The interview was conducted over the phone. Ella Cherry's voice was a bit deep, but just by listening to the voice, one could guess that the character behind the voice was quite tough.

   "The company you are referring to, do you mean Double-Click Company?" The host of ABC TV asked Ella Cherry.

Ella Cherry laughed in a contemptuous tone, "The American Trade Commission, and myself, never target a single company. Next, the American Trade Commission will sort out the entire Internet advertising industry, But we will not let go of any company with problems!"

   "Bitch!"

  Watching the righteous Ella Cherry on TV, Gallo couldn't help but curse at the TV, "This old woman is crazy!"

  Song Yang was drinking coffee slowly, watching Ella Cherry's speech on TV. She showed her attitude, and it was also a kind of alternative warning, warning those companies that cooperate with Double-click to be careful!

   "Double-Click is already the most scrutinized company in the Internet advertising industry in America. It has never placed sideline ads involving underground gambling or bad information, and even a small amount of medical advertisements."

  Whitman couldn't help but said at this time, "Double-Click Company can't restrain its peers, and can't ask those websites to place any advertisements. Now Ella Cherry pushes all problems to Double-Click Company."

   "It has nothing to do with what kind of advertisements Double-Click Company puts out. As long as Double-Click Company is the largest company in the Internet advertising industry, you can't avoid it!"

   "Ella Cherry needs to overthrow Double-click to establish the Trade Commission's status in the Internet industry, and of course let the Trade Commission know of her existence!"

Song Yang saw that Ella Cherry's purpose in doing all this was nothing more than to establish her prestige, and to use the double-click as a vote of honor. If she wanted to make further progress in the trade committee, she needed to make contributions. In addition to her school background, Definitely want to use double-click to operate.

   "We need to prepare a team of lawyers to deal with Ella Cherry's lawsuit against Double-Click, and we also need to hire a public relations team to go to Washington to lobby for Double-Click!" Greck said.

Whitman also said with a bit of a headache at this time, "The key is what to do with the double-click listing. Now the road show is about to take place. Deutsche Bank Investment Bank and Goldman Sachs have called today and expressed their concerns about the issuance of double-click stocks. They suggest reducing financing. scale, and solve the troubles with the American Trade Commission as soon as possible!"

   "There is also American Telecom, **** it, Song, do you know how many calls I have answered today, here needs to come up with a solution, otherwise it will be the people from the headquarters of the Comerica Bank."

Chris Jain also held his head, and said with a painful face, the market has changed suddenly, and the Comerica Bank, which praised him so much yesterday, turned against him today, urging Chris to solve the troubles of American Telecom, otherwise It is necessary to "stop the loss" and withdraw the 300 million dollars invested in American Telecom!

For a while, the conference room became a mess. If Ella Cherry chased after double-clicking, the listing would probably fail, and America Telecom's side might also fail. This is related to the interests of countless people, so it is naturally noisy. Can't be handed over.

   After drinking a cup of coffee, Song Yang finally felt a little distracted. He tapped his fingers on the table, and the originally chaotic conference room gradually became quieter.

   "Double-clicking and America Telecom are two different things, so let's divide them into two things!"

   "President Whitman, you and the people who double-clicked will continue to carry out the road show according to the original plan. Regarding the matter of hiring a public relations consultant, I will ask WPP to send someone!"

  WPP Group itself has several public relations companies, and it also has a deep influence in Washington.

   "Double-click shareholders are not the only ones. We can increase the underwriting fee so that Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch can start working immediately, and they must also ensure that Double-click is listed!"

  Song Yang said to Whitman, the most important thing now is not to get confused, once the internal panic first, then I am really afraid that I will be pushed horizontally by a wave of flow.

  Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs are the top snakes on Wall Street. They have never seen any situation, and now they are booing. They just want to get an extra fee. Song Yang needs them to block the pressure from the American Trade Commission for Double-click.

  Song Yang will not forget the WPP Group. He chose to cooperate with the WPP Group because the strength of the other party is intertwined. No one has more say in how to solve the problem at this time than Martin Solo.

   "America Telecom continues to work, I need you to keep an eye on the construction site, what I want is to complete the project on time, and the construction period must not be delayed!"

Song Yang said to Eric, and then turned to Chris Jain, "You tell the people on the board of directors in Comerica that they can only get everything back if they stand with America Telecom, otherwise I will get nothing. No money will be lost, you just let them directly sue in Houston!"

  The people of the Comelica Bank really dare to play the game of drawing salary from the bottom, so Song Yang will spend it with them to the end. He would rather use all the compensation of hundreds of millions of dollars to fight the lawsuit, and he will not pay them a penny!

   There is one more chapter...
