Back To 1995

   Chapter 177

  MFS Communication Company joined the ranks of snatching UUnet Company. Applying the famous words of General Li, who won the Battle of Pingping and influenced the end of World War II, the Northwest Shanxi Province is about to become a pot of porridge!

  It is obviously not only a telecommunications company from WorldCom that wants to borrow UUnet to enter the Internet optical broadband market in one fell swoop.

And now, three companies, America Telecom, WorldCom, and MFS, have launched the acquisition of UUent at the same time, making UUnet the darling of Nasdaq in an instant. The stock price of UUnet, which just went public last year, rose 15% on the same day, becoming countless investments in one fell swoop. The popular "Snow White" has made countless people fall for her.

Song Yang, who drove from New York to New Jersey to solve the problem of the shutdown of America Telecom, was swarmed by the media who had been prepared to squat for a long time. The media carried long guns and short cannons to surround Song Yang, as if they were afraid that there would be countless troubles in the past two days. Big news, another American Telecom founder who was about to go to war with WorldCom ran away.

   Song Yang is not surprised by the appearance of these reporters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to New Jersey in such a swaggering manner. There are always some smoke bombs that must be released through the media.

   "Song, will America Telecom really acquire UUnet? Affected by the acquisition, UUnet's stock price has soared for two consecutive days. The current market value has hit a new high since its listing, reaching a billion dollars!"

A reporter with a Wall Street Journal sign quickly asked Song Yang, and told Song Yang that, due to the influence of the three American Telecom companies, the stock price of this company has been tepid since its listing for just one year, and its stock price has been exceptionally high in the past two days. Then it soared by more than 20%, and those who bought UUnet are about to make crazy money.

  Song Yang raised his brows when he heard this, showing a very dissatisfied expression at the reporter's questioning of America Telecom's strength.

"I noticed the changes in UUnet, but this will not affect Telecom America's plans. When a suitable partner is found, no matter how much the price is, even if the current valuation is doubled, America Telecom will never give up!"

   "Boom", when the reporters heard that Song Yang was willing to give up for UUnet, even if UUnet's stock price doubled, he would buy it, and suddenly a huge exclamation sounded.

   What is the concept of doubling, that is, the market value of UUnet reaches 2 billion US dollars, which is really scary.

It seems that there will be people who don't believe this statement, Song Yang said righteously, "In fact, America Telecom will contact UUnet in the near future, and I will contact Microsoft, the second largest shareholder of UUnet, I believe Bill Mr. Gates, I will also be very happy to see our two sides continue to cooperate more..."

The richest man has a very long hand. He probably can’t remember the companies he has invested in over the years. UUnet is also a company that he and Microsoft jointly invested in, and it is second only to UUnet founder Sitch Moore. the second largest shareholder.

   Hearing that Song Yang was referring to Bill Gates, the reporters present couldn't help but believe it a bit. Everyone knows that Song Yang is now a representative of the "Microsoft family" in the Internet industry.

When Microsoft's IE browser was beaten by Netscape last year, Song Yang was the first in the Internet industry to stand up to support IE browser. Hotmail brought tens of millions of users to IE browser and helped IE browser stop. After the decline, there are signs of IE browser counterattacking Netscape this year.

   In terms of relationship, Microsoft and Song Yang must have a closer relationship. Compared with WorldCom, MFS and others, they are definitely willing to let Song Yang's America Telecom acquire UUnet.

   "Song, what do you think of WorldCom President Ebes?!"

   "It is rumored that WorldCom is blocking America Telecom from obtaining a telecom license and shutting down the America Telecom line. What do you think, Song?"

   "Will there be a new acquisition plan for America Telecom, will it buy WiTel?"

A large group of reporters gathered around Song Yang and asked all kinds of questions. Although Song Yang had already made a surprising statement today, saying that he would spend two billion dollars to buy UUnet, the reporter still wanted to kill the madness from these two days. Song Yang, who had finished, came up with all kinds of words.

   However, although what he did was to act against Shitong, Song Yang would never say such a thing.

   "Ebes is one of the people I admire the most. I have seen many media interviews with him. WorldCom is one of the best communication companies in the world!"

Song Yang first touted WorldCom, then changed his words, "I don't believe Mr. Ebbs would do such a thing as preventing America Telecom from obtaining a telecommunications license. Only despicable thieves and liars would do this kind of thing. , Fear the opponent to be a coward, only to use this kind of thing that is not on the table!"

   The reporters present were all good people, and there was no way they could hear Song Yang. This was because he was trying to catch Ebes and scold him, and he was about to scold the old man for not being a joke, and playing with Lao Yinbi.

  A reporter who didn't think it was a big deal asked Song Yang, "Song, are you questioning WorldCom's finances? Do you think WorldCom's finances are fraudulent?!"

   After hearing this question, all the reporters were stunned for a moment, and then they all cast admiring glances at this reporter. This is the master of invigorating, for fear that Song Yang and Ebes will not be able to fight.

   Hearing this question, Song Yang waved his hands again and again, a set of denials for three consecutive hits, I'm not saying I'm not talking nonsense, but what he said immediately was a bit of a slap in the face.

"I learned that in the past ten years, in the global investment industry, only WorldCom has achieved an average annual return of 53% for investors, which is a miracle in the history of investment. At the same time, the return rate of companies such as Telephone and Telegraph was less than One-seventh of WorldCom's, I think the telecommunications industry should learn from WorldCom's advanced experience!"

After    finished speaking, Song Yang directly asked Ulf to come and join Greg and the others.

   The reporters who stayed at the scene always felt that something was wrong when they listened to Song Yang's words of "touting" WorldCom.

   The average annual rate of return on the stocks of telecommunications companies is basically stable, but WorldCom is going against the sky, and the stock price hits new highs every year. Compared with WorldCom, the stocks of other telecommunications companies are almost all slag.

   But in the telecommunications industry, the market and revenue of WorldCom are far inferior to those of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, MCI and other companies. How does Worldcom maintain such a high growth rate? !

People are afraid of brain supplements and careful thinking, which will give birth to conspiracy theories. If there is no Song Yang's words, countless people will tout WorldCom, and now as long as conspiracy theories are born, people will continue to question WorldCom. Is there a ghost who has played tricks on the account?

   Even if WorldCom explained it again, some people would still use it as an excuse. In America, where the idea that the earth is square and the moon landing is false, questioning what a WorldCom is? !

  In the WorldCom office building, Mississippi, after seeing Song Yang's interview report, Ebes couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the ashtray next to him and threw it directly at the TV.

   "This bastard, I should really let him taste shotgun bullets!"

   Bernard Ebes, whose face was ashen, panted and scolded angrily. All the WorldCom executives present were silent and did not dare to touch Ebes' brows.

  Only Scott, Ebes' confidant, said at this time, "We need to say hello to the media immediately, and this kind of remarks questioning WorldCom cannot be brewed in America!"

The stock price is the lifeblood of WorldCom. Compared with other giants with abundant cash flow, WorldCom uses its small capital as its strong stock. As long as the stock price is guaranteed, WorldCom can issue new shares to raise funds. Stock acquisition of a rival.

   But once WorldCom's high stock price is questioned by countless people, all this will cease to exist. Song Yang's remarks directly caused WorldCom to break the defense...

WorldCom is one of America Media's own people and has cooperative relations with many media. As long as you say hello, there will naturally be media giants to suppress these questioning public opinions for WorldCom. The side won't read too much.

Ebes waved his hand and asked the executives of the public relations department to act immediately to suppress Song Yang's last remarks, so that TV stations, newspapers, radio stations, magazines, etc. would not publish reports. WorldCom, which was in its prime, suppressed this. There is no problem with public opinion.

Looking at the TV that was smashed into a hole, Ebes finally regained his calm. Ebes didn't know why. In the past, he was also a very deep city man. As a person who climbed up step by step from the bottom, he finally reached middle age. When he became prosperous, he was a late bloomer and established all the characters he is today. If he didn't have the city government, there would be no bones left.

   But I don't know why, but when I see Song Yang, I feel like I can't hold back my anger, not only Song Yang scolding him as an old thief, or questioning WorldCom for making false accounts or something.

Ebes felt that maybe the two had completely different lives. He spent half his life working as a milkman, a basketball coach, and a motel. Finally, he didn't make a fortune until he was 42 years old in middle age. It is said that debut is the peak. In less than two years, he has reached the point where he is neck and neck with Ebes. This is the collision of two completely different lives.

   suppressed his anger, Ebes asked Scott, "UUnet, did you reply to us?!"

Ebes is not the kind of person who can't hold his breath. He knows what needs to be done first. After swallowing Telecom America is not desirable, he immediately changes his strategy and wants to take down UUnet. Ebes understands that only by winning the war with America Telecom. Only then can all doubts about WorldCom be lifted, and it can also teach Song Yang a profound lesson!

  Scott shook his head and said helplessly, "Sitchmore and UUnet's executives are still waiting to see, especially now that UUnet's stock price is soaring, which makes Sitchmore more qualified to wait and see!"

   "In addition to what the guy said today, and the MFS company's pressing step by step, I feel that even if WorldCom acquires UUnet, I am afraid that it will have to pay a huge price, far exceeding the original estimate!"

   "There will always be a way, no one can stop WorldCom, whether it is America Telecom or MFS, if necessary, then solve it"! Ebes said with a bit of chill in his voice, and said incomparably domineering.

   I still owe a chapter to send it tomorrow, I have written 2,000 words, and I am almost there, I will go back today and make up for it, and I will send it tomorrow, ()
