Back To 1995

   Chapter 154 Praise the Sun

   The overturning of the Telecommunications Act, which had been in place for more than half a century, should have been a major event affecting the entire America, but at this time the media seemed a little "calm", as if nothing had happened.

   Except for a few major public television stations in America, where the "clouds are light and the wind is light" reported, there are no more voices. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the America public at all!

   Several major media giants seem to have nothing special to say about this matter.

In response to the stock market, the stock prices of major media, telecommunications and other giant companies have skyrocketed. Because the shackles that had been placed on the necks of these media and telecommunications giants in the past were all untied this time, the Dow Jones Index soared by more than 5% that day, almost Said to be crazy.

The most direct impact of    is that, like the Telephone and Telegraph Group, which has been split several times, there is no need to worry about being split again. According to the new Telecom Act, these giant companies can freely acquire small and medium-sized telecom and media companies to occupy the market!

Gallo took out Evan Spiegel who was beside him. Evan Spiegel felt that Song Yang seemed to have something important to say, but obviously he had not yet reached the point where he could listen in, so he had no choice but to leave. out.

  In the villa, Irene, Gleek, and Marcus were the only people left. Watching the news on TV, Gleick sighed, "The new telecommunications bill has really passed!"

   Song Yang was from An Ran before. When he heard the news, Greg was still a little worried, but now it seems that the news has been spread long ago.

The new telecommunications bill has released a series of shackles on telecommunications and media companies in the past. In addition to completely liberalizing the telecommunications industry, there will be no restrictions on local calls and long-distance telephone companies. That is, an American telecommunications company can enter local calls at the same time. with the long distance market.

  The other most important point is to allow anyone to enter the telecommunications market, which is very important to Song Yang. This is related to Song Yang's America Telecom, whether it can get a license, and now everything is not a problem!

However, this also means that Song Yang has to hurry up and take advantage of the chaos in the telecommunications and media industries. The telecommunications giants such as Verizon, Bell Group, Telephone and Telegraph Group, WorldCom, MCI and other telecommunications giants are fighting each other, and they are overwhelmed. At that time, we quickly cut through the mess and solved the license and wiring problems of America Telecom.

   "Gallo, you go tell Eric and Oswald that the route from Chicago to New York must be completed on time!"

   "Also, call Spivey over!"

   Song Yang turned his head and said to Gallo, who had just come in, and asked him to go to the construction site and let the construction team of America Telecom speed up the progress. This is the bargaining chip in Song Yang's hands.

   "Grek, Marcus, we need to go to New York and talk to the hyenas on Wall Street!"

This time, I went to New York, but the tiger's mouth grabbed the food. It has always been Wall Street that cut other people's leeks. This time, someone was going to cut their leeks, but those people were not easy to fool. Song Yang needed to bring Spivey, who was from Wall Street. People who know Wall Street best.

Greck and Marcus both nodded their heads and agreed. They knew how much the Telecom America project involved, that is, the big thunder that involved several hundred million dollars. Song Yang and Comerica Bank had to be bombed.

   However, once it is done, everyone who participates in this project will be worth several times more!

   The new telecommunications bill was supposed to be related to the fate of countless people, but during this period of time, there was not much discussion at all, and all that could be heard was a hymn to the new bill.

It seems that the new telecommunications bill is really beneficial and harmless. It can be seen that the attitude of the telecommunications, media and other giants towards this bill is basically in favor of both hands and feet. Well worth the money they put into it.

   "It's a victory for the audience!"

Even the media that reported on this bill, such as the Wall Street Journal, boasted, and described the 1996 new telecommunications bill as a landmark bill, "the greatest bill in the presidency of the president, and America is even greater because of it. !"

  The Wall Street Journal believes that liberalizing the regulation of the telecommunications industry and allowing major telecommunications giants to compete can make the entire industry more competitive, improve the services of the telecommunications giants, and allow America's telecommunications, media and other users to get more discounts.

   This is true in theory, but a giant that doesn’t cut leeks can still be called an industry giant. Just like the takeaway war, it was subsidized to grab users at the beginning.

   Once you become a food delivery giant, you will eat the merchants first, then the users, and then go back and eat the riders. No matter how the platform is, it is impossible to lose.

   The same is true for the telecommunications industry. Once several giants control the telecommunications industry in America, it is not worth the effort to push the new telecommunications bill without cutting leeks for decades.

It's been less than ten years since the end of the Cold War, and the American people who haven't been beaten yet still don't know the power of this thing. It's good...

American congressmen also expressed support for the bill. A senior American congressman said in the interview with the media, "The new telecommunications bill is the most comprehensive and perfect blueprint for a telecommunications empire that any country in the world can think of. !"

   "The passing of the new telecommunications bill is expected to create more than 200,000 new jobs every year from communications, Internet, television, radio, newspapers, printing and many other fields. This is a great bill!"

  The entire telecommunications and media industry is celebrating. When an executive of WorldCom was interviewed, if he expressed his feelings about the new bill to the media, it means that the chief commander and the congressmen are well aware of the suffering of the people.

There was no waiting. One month and five days after the passage of the Congressional proposal, after just attending the Arkansas State Groundbreaking Ceremony to be the Grand Commander of the Library, the Grand Commander who was about to participate in the new year's election, finally restrained himself. The new Power and Credit Act is signed, and the new Telecommunications Act is finally up and running!

As a native of Arkansas, in his hometown, he can build a library of great commanders with a total investment of nearly 200 million US dollars, which is of great significance to every great commander. To use a sentence from the Celestial Dynasty, that is, returning home in good clothes, even Dahan Liu Bang, the founder of the group, is not exempt, let alone the great commander of America.

The timing of the appearance of this Grand Commander's library is very delicate. The new telecommunications bill over there has just been placed on the Grand Commander's desk. There are private investors here, and it will cost nearly 200 million US dollars to find the Grand Commander's family foundation. , to build a world-class library for the Grand Commander.

In the future, a museum may be built to preserve the items of the chief commander for external exhibition, while the library will store the chief commander's archives, personal documents, as well as outstanding events during his tenure, etc. To put it bluntly, it is a tribute to future generations. His Niubi past opportunities...

The    Grand Commander personally attended the groundbreaking ceremony. After all, it has been over a hundred years in America, and only a dozen people can get this kind of treatment.

  Song Yang sitting in the office, like countless telecom company executives who are celebrating with each other at the moment, raised a glass of wine and said, "Your Highness Commander!"

   On the TV, there were two news about the Grand Commander at the same time, one was the construction of the Grand Commander's library, and the other was the Grand Commander's signing of the new telecom bill, but the latter's reports were far less detailed than the former.

About the introduction of the Great Commander's Library, several major American media, long-winded introductions, what is the most environmentally friendly and innovative, there will be more than 2 million photos displayed in the library, as well as the famous historical scenes of the Great Commander etc., will appear in the library, and also interviewed the construction supervisor who built the library.

   The report on the new telecommunications bill was only taken for a while. If it wasn’t for the broadcast of the President’s speech on the new telecommunications bill, it is estimated that several major media giants would like to wait for other people in America to not know about this new bill at all.

"We must allow Americans to fully enjoy the convenience brought by the Internet, and to allow operators to reduce the cost of Internet access for users, we need to allow every school in America to be connected to the Internet within the next four years. !"

   "We want to build the world's first information superhighway..."

   Spivey, who rushed back from the construction site, entered the office and saw Song Yang watching the speech of the commander-in-chief on TV. At this time, the commander happened to be talking about the new telecommunications bill.

  Song Yang saw Spivey who came in and said to him with a smile, "The speech is wonderful, isn't it?!"

   If we only look at the statement of the commander-in-chief, then the new telecommunications bill is his masterpiece in the position of the commander-in-chief, which allowed America to enter the Internet age and set off a new era of technological innovation after steam engines and electricity.

  The new telecommunications bill will allow American users to pay less for the Internet, and to see more and cheaper TV programs, which is a good thing to watch.

   As for the others, being cut off by a giant company must be just the pain caused by the new bill. The key is to praise at this time...

If nothing else, with the help of the new telecommunications bill, the leader of the entire telecom and media industry in America has been attracted. This year's election is basically a peace of mind. The mouthpiece of the entire America sings praises for the leader. Who cares? To be able to compete with the great commander, at most, is to go through a process.

   "It's been a long time!" Song Yang said to Spivey in front of him. Spivey was a little thin before, but now he is thin and dark.

Spivey looked at Song Yang in front of him, suppressing his inner excitement, knowing that he came to America Telecom from Wall Street, and squatted on the construction site for so long, and finally did not waste time, the new telecom bill was passed, and America Telecom would also start to take action. Well, Spivey knew he needed to be used.

   "This is what I should do, Boss, is America Telecom going to take action?!" Spivey asked Song Yang.

Song Yang nodded, turned off the TV, and looked at Spivey in front of him, "Now the major telecom giants in America are raising funds and issuing bonds on a large scale, and a new batch of listed companies, companies with a telecom concept have reached the 40%…”
