   Chapter 232 Going crazy and biting himself

   "KBK is a vulture law firm specializing in class action lawsuits. It has sued HP, JetBlue Airways and many other companies, and they have all received compensation!"

   "David Ameda is a private investigator with a high reputation in the industry. Last year, when Double-click Company started operations, she became the advertising partner of Double-click Company!"

Song Yang, who was leaning on his chair, finally couldn't help but smile when he heard Greck's words. It seemed that the other party was already prepared this time. This David Ameda had already started to go undercover and cooperated with Double Click Company to find out. After double-clicking on the details of the company, this was a counter-attack. If this was not already prepared, it would be a hell.

Gleick looked at Song Yang, he knew that Song Yang had a tough attitude towards these Vulture Law Firms and Ella Cherry, but Gleick still said, "If you have a lawsuit with KBK Law Firm. If so, I am afraid it will take a long time, and reconciliation may be the easiest!"

   "Double-click now, the most important thing is to deal with the huge fine from the Trade Commission, and Ella Cherry's antitrust investigation, David Ameda and KBK law firm, maybe not the most important."

  The third-line battle is too unfavorable for Double-click Company. As the legal manager of Double-click Company, Greck's lawyer level may not be the most powerful, but he still has the knowledge and vision he should have.

  KBK law firm and David Ameda are basically for money, and if they settle with a few million dollars, it will be more cost-effective for Double Click Company, and the impact will undoubtedly be smaller!

   "Reconciliation?"

Song Yang sneered and shook his head. Greg's idea was right. The out-of-court settlement was indeed able to immediately resolve the class action lawsuit initiated by KBK and David Ameda, and let Double Click Company resolve the trouble in Tennessee. .

But in dozens of states in America, there are so many vulture law firms. As long as they see profits, plus Ella Cherry and the people who are interested in it, I am afraid that dozens of states will launch a class action against Double Click Company. .

Song Yang didn't want to repeat the same mistakes and enjoy the treatment that Microsoft had when it was anti-monopoly. Dozens of states in America filed lawsuits against Microsoft at the same time, making Microsoft overwhelmed and overwhelmed. In the end, he could only spend billions of dollars, one for each state. State acquisition, double-click is not as much money as Microsoft.

   "Double-click Company cannot make concessions, no matter how many vulture law firms and so-called private investigators, Double-click Company must never settle!"

  Song Yang said directly, there was no room left, he would rather fight a lawsuit of tens of millions of dollars than pay a settlement fee of millions of dollars, and finally leave the opponent with a handle.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Greg and Whitman looked at each other and both sighed softly. Song Yang didn't play cards according to the routine, and they didn't know whether it was right or wrong, but obviously Double-click Company was still in Song Yang. When Yang is in control, reconciliation is impossible.

   "What about the trade commission's fine for false advertising, and the antitrust investigation?" Whitman also said with some headaches, wondering how Double-click could get into so much trouble.

Unlike the class action lawsuit over KBK, the trade commission's fine, whether it is reasonable or not, represents the entire powerful department of the trade commission. If you don't accept the fine, or even go to the federal court, it means Double-click. About to start a war with a powerful arm of America.

  This is Ella Cherry's conspiracy. Since she started to operate, in the name of the Trade Commission, she gave Double-click Company an expensive fine, and only gave Double-click Company a choice of two paths.

   One way is to accept his fate, pay a high fine, and let Double-click company lose half their life, but let the Trade Commission let Double-click company spare.

The other way is to not accept the ticket and start a lawsuit with the Trade Commission, but this means that DoubleClick will be targeted by the Trade Commission from now on. Think about this behemoth powerful organization, how many local and overseas giants in America. , they were tossed a lot, and they understood the consequences of being targeted by it.

Song Yang was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Let's form a lawyer team, Double Click Company will not accept a fine, this hundred million dollars can be used as a fee for the lawyer team, and we will not accept this kind of fine! "

   "Ella Cherry, let's start preparing for a lawsuit as well!"

Hearing that Song Yang was preparing to force this wave, there was silence in the conference room. Everyone knew what this meant. Maybe within a few years, the days of Double-clicking the company would not be so easy, and people would stare at them all the time. Anything wrong will be caught and start making a big fuss.

  Song Yang clapped his hands and said to the executives of DoubleClick in the conference room, "Set up a legal team and a public relations team to deal with these troubles, DoubleClick to go public, and continue to prepare, DoubleClick to be listed on time!"

   Hearing that Song Yang has made a decision, no matter what this decision will bring to the Double-click Company, the entire Double-click Company should start to prepare quickly.

  In the case of Song Yang's decision that Double-click will never reconcile and admit defeat, Double-click is about to start preparing for a war!

   A series of rumors, such as the sudden and huge fine, the possibility of listing failure, class action, anti-monopoly, and the suspension of cooperation by advertising sponsors, successfully made DoubleClick the most beautiful boy on Wall Street today.

  Including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, NBC TV and many other TV stations, newspapers and other media, all began to report and double-click the news.

  The entire Internet industry is also watching the first fine and anti-monopoly in this industry. Double-clicking the company's response is likely to be the response of the entire industry.

   If you double-click the company this time, you will easily kneel down, then the entire Silicon Valley will basically be stubborn in the face of the Trade Commission and other American institutions, and will easily be fined huge fines.

Therefore, secretly poking, expecting to double-click the company, there are not a few Internet companies who are **** the Trade Commission, but basically they are all secretly observing, after all, this is the Trade Commission, one of the most powerful departments in America, and Microsoft is in front of it. Some can't hold it, let alone double-click.

   Therefore, the Internet industry is basically looking forward to it. Netscape, Yahoo, Lycos and other companies do not dare to easily express their support for Double-click Company.

   In the midst of the discussion, Double-click Company first issued an announcement, telling all investors who subscribed for Double-click shares that everything in Double-click is "normal", there will be no changes, and it will be listed on schedule.

There is nothing special about this announcement. It is just to appease those investors and tell them that the double-click can hold up. These are just "minor problems". There is no need to worry about it. enough!

   In the outside world, Internet companies and the media are discussing how credible this announcement is. Double-click the company, and the news is spread again. This time, the news has left countless people stunned.

  America's top ten law firms also received an invitation from Double-click Company. Double-click Company announced that the board of directors and investors will jointly raise 20 million US dollars to form a team of lawyers to deal with possible prosecutions.

  Double-click did not name the company, but at this time, it took out a large sum of the $60 million in financing to form a lawyer team. This is almost a lice on a bald head, an obvious thing.

After receiving the news, the entire legal industry in America immediately looked at the wind, and even the legal industry was much more excited than the Double-click company. For many years, America has not appeared, such a vigorous company, Is this really going to be done against the federal and state courts, the Trade Commission, or even the American Department of Justice? !

In this kind of big case, the legal fees are terrifyingly high. Double-click the company's 20 million dollars is probably just the beginning. It has money to get it, and it can also increase the exposure and popularity. How could the major law firms in America not be active.

  Latham & Watkins International, Jones Day & Baker & MacKenzie, the three major law firms, announced the formation of a luxury team of lawyers, ready to take over the entrustment of DoubleClick!

   And in the evening, Double-click, which is far away in Houston, seems to have brought the wild atmosphere of the West and issued a third announcement.

  Double-click company directly declared that it would never accept the blackmail class action of KBK company, and counted the companies that had been blackmailed by KBK law firm. Double-click company would never compromise with KBK, nor would it give the other party a US dollar settlement fee!

As for David Ameda, the double-click company even took a bite, claiming that David Ameda stole the trade secrets of the double-click company, and began to initiate a counter-prosecution against David Ameda in Houston. As for what business Confidential, Double-click Company didn't say, whether it can win the lawsuit, Double-click Company doesn't care, anyway, it just wants to disgust the other party, so that latecomers see Double-click Company's attitude, so crazy that they even bite themselves!

  Double-click, which started to go crazy, let the whole America see the wild west style. After targeting KBK law firm and David Ameda, Double-click Company finally made it clear.

   On behalf of Double Click Company, Gleek officially announced that he would not accept the fine issued by the Trade Commission to Double Click Company, believing that the ticket was not true at all, and wanted to re-appeal for the astronomical fine.

As soon as the news of    came out, when I heard that Double Click Company was really confronting the Trade Commission, the whole public opinion was almost in an uproar, which made the crowd watching the excitement even more noisy.

   Even the fines from the Trade Commission, the double-click company does not recognize it, and they have to file a lawsuit with the other party, let alone any anti-monopoly.

  Greck, on behalf of Double Click Company, turned on the fire and sprayed Ella Cherry directly, " Double Click Company has never been involved in the monopoly of the Internet advertising industry. On the contrary, Double Click Company is following the Internet Act of the Great Commander and developing the Internet market."

"Anti-monopoly against Double-click is completely because someone is deliberately targeting Double-click. The other party has no Internet knowledge at all. From a traditional perspective, when defining a new industry, we do not know why the Trade Commission would choose such a person to manage the Internet industry. But this is obviously a huge mistake, and even putting a Texas wild boar in that position, I am afraid it will not be worse than some people!"

   The few chapters I owe have been paid off, ε(*ω)_/:☆
