Back To 1995

   Chapter 345

  Song Yang returned to Houston. After meeting with Adrian, he drove directly to the airport by car. Today, he was going to New York. No one else knew about it.

After    left, Matthews looked towards his employer, "Shooting Edward Winslow is risky!"

  As Adrian's chief of staff, Matthews' power all comes from Adrian. He hopes that Adrian can spend the past few years as mayor of Houston peacefully, and then start to attack the position of governor.

  Matthews admitted that with the support of Song Yang, the sponsor of Adrian, he no longer has to worry about campaign funds, but he faces more and more opponents.

   In Adrian's current identity, provoking Winslow is definitely not a good thing for Adrian.

  Adrian glanced at Matthews. Adrian has always been satisfied with this chief of staff. He acts cautiously, and can handle everything, even some dirty work.

   "If you want to get what you want, you have to look at what you give!"

Adrian said a philosophical statement and looked at Matthews and said meaningfully, "Risk is also an opportunity. When you face what kind of opponent, what kind of allies will you have, and sometimes, take certain risks, It's worth it to get a bigger profit!"

Offending Edward Winslow, of course, is not a good thing for Adrian, but correspondingly, it will make Song Yang and all the big and small funders in Houston and Texas remember him for daring to talk to Congress. The hundred chiefs of the mountain are tough characters.

Similarly, within the party, Adrian will also be remembered as a "tough" person, but no matter what label he is labeled, the two years of cooperation with Song Yang are the moment when Adrian's popularity has risen sharply. For Adrian, it is far better than the ten years he has served as a district councilor!

   Matthew Slen looked at him and picked up his golf club Adrian again, feeling that he had re-understood Adrian a little bit. Some members of the Congress were almost ruled by the chief of staff behind the scenes, and Adrian was obviously not that kind of person.

Song Yang's plane landed at JFK Airport, and there was already a line of convoys waiting there, Gallo had arrived, Gleick and a team of lawyers led by Clifford Chance and Bob Joffe, Whitman, The executives of Double-click Company led by Kavi Lane were also present.

   "The stock price of Double-click is now under great pressure, and Wall Street institutions and investors have a lot of opinions!"

As soon as he got in the car, Whitman said to Song Yang, taking advantage of the Double-click company, in the whirlpool of public opinion, and many people fell into trouble, especially the Wall Street hedge funds led by Creamer, Chanos and others. He is quite active. Either he is interviewed by media reporters and criticizes Double-click Company, or he constantly initiates short selling of Double-click Company.

This made Wall Street institutions holding Double-click stocks very dissatisfied, especially the small investors who bought Double-click stocks. The management has to impeach and ask to replace Whitman, the double-click president!

   This is actually what Ella Cherry wants to achieve, making Double Click Company the target of public criticism, being opposed by everyone, and making Double Click in chaos.

   Whitman knew that these public opinions had no effect on her. As long as Song Yang, the major shareholder, did not object to her, no one would let her leave Double Click Company, but the overwhelming public opinions still gave her a headache.

"Do you want to start the repurchase?!" Ryan said to Song Yang with concern. He, the co-president of Double-click in charge of marketing, is worth all the equity of Double-click. So far, there is no chance to cash out. He will not be able to start cashing out until next year. Double click on the stock.

   Seeing the double-click stock price, it kept falling, and Ryan's worth has also shrunk in a straight line. Now he is also starting to worry about whether the double-click will really be delisted!

  Song Yang glanced at Kevy Lane, saw Kevy Lane with a worried face, and just shook his head, "No!"

   Even Ryan, the co-president, is beginning to worry. It is conceivable that the double-click is now in the market.

   But Song Yang was still clueless. He wanted to raise the double-click share price, but he just said, "It's not time yet!"

Hearing this, Ryan's face was a little sad, and he looked at Song Yang and hesitated to say anything. Double-click's equity only accounted for a part of Song Yang's worth, or even a small part, but it was Ryan and Double-click executives. All the net worth Now, the so-called concern is chaos, Song Yang and Ryan's moods are naturally completely different.

When    got off the car, after seeing Ryan's expression, Song Yang finally said, "You can issue an announcement to tell all investors who double-click that the stock price of Double-click will return to normal and will not be delisted!"

   This is basically a hoax, but Ryan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, knowing that Song Yang didn't intend to double-click and completely become cannon fodder. As for whether the investors believed it or not, it was none of Song Yang's business.

"Tomorrow, the court will be officially opened for the first time. At that time, it will be broadcast. New York State TV, CNN and other TV stations will broadcast the trial. Ella Cherry and the staff of the Internet Department of the Trade Commission, including the prosecutors of the Federal Department of Justice. Officers will appear in court!"

After entering the hotel, a group of lawyers surrounded Song Yang and handed Song Yang a lot of documents.

   After Clifford Chance finished speaking, Bob Joffe then said to Song Yang, "Song, don't be nervous, this is just a small scene!"

  Song Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard Bob Joffe's words, but for Bob Joffe and the others, the appearance of Song Yang tomorrow was the biggest worry for their team of lawyers.

   "Song, if tomorrow, Ella Cherry and the prosecutor will ask you questions beyond our estimation, you can refuse to answer!"

Clifford Chance also said that being aggressively interrogated in court and being in front of so many cameras would probably be humiliating for many celebrities in America. Those people would even deliberately anger Song Yang. Come to make Song Yang lose his mind and say nothing, to get the answers they want, so the lawyers and the others would rather Song Yang not say a word tomorrow, and don't want problems.

"Those people are all clowns, we will definitely win tomorrow!" Gallo said, waving his fists aside, he hated Ella Cherry, who was staring at Song Yang's side. Give Ella Cherry and those guys some punches tomorrow.

Song Yang waved his hand and told Gallo and the others to leave. He flipped through the thick stack of documents. The questions listed above were all questions that might be asked tomorrow. Of course, Ella Cherry wouldn't be so silent. Stick to the rules and even ask outrageous questions.

This night was a sleepless night for many people. When he woke up in the morning, Greg had dark circles under his eyes. Now Greg, the most worrying thing is not this lawsuit, but the Bruno family that has finally improved. , will collapse.

   On the other hand, Song Yang and Gallo rested pretty well. Gallo also specially dispatched a team of security personnel from the Blackwater Company today.

Song Yang, who was eating breakfast, glanced at a large group of security guards. He knew that these people were security guards, and he didn't know that he thought it was a robbery, or he was going to a bank in America to help him. A big vote!

   Looking at the local TV station in Washington, Song Yang looked up at the TV from time to time. It was almost time to go to the court. When Song Yang was about to get up, he suddenly saw a news item on the TV station.

"America United Judiciary, Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, was arrested today. The Washington State Police Department announced that he would be charged with multiple counts of abuse of power, intimidation, extortion, and leaking information. This is the federal Department of Justice, the highest arrest in recent years. One of the supervisors!"

  Washington State TV station, in the middle of the advertisements, used brief news to report, obviously not wanting to attract too many people's attention, this is obviously not a matter worthy of reporting for the federal judiciary.

The federal judiciary in America is a behemoth. The leader of the federal judiciary is the Attorney General of America, a federal judicial department. There are more than 60 agencies below, except for the most famous FBI, which belongs to this department. , as well as the Antitrust Bureau, the Bureau of Statistics, the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms, and Explosives, etc., all belong to it, and it is not necessary to control the air in the middle, and it can control the air, and it also has a Bureau of Environment and Natural Resources...

And now what is being reported in the news is the United States Federal Judiciary, the most powerful department, the executive of the Law Enforcement Bureau. If Ella Cherry wants to give Double-click the name of a monopoly, it must be opposed by the Federal Judiciary. The Trust will cooperate.

Clifford Chance and Bob Joffe, who were having breakfast, saw the corners of their mouths rise slightly when Song Yang saw the news. Although they quickly returned to normal, they had been lawyers for so many years. , observing meticulously, using expressions to observe and analyze the opponent's two people, still can't help but look at each other.

   But neither Chance nor Bob Joffe seemed to have found anything. After taking the last bite, they got up and started to pack up.

The entrance of the New York State Court can be described as a crowded market today. The reporters and media are surrounded by dark crowds. Finance, finance, technology, Internet and even entertainment media also come to join in the fun. In recent years, America's venture capitalists are the most popular Internet upstarts. , I'm going to appear in court today to be questioned.

   Not to mention, the New York court announced yesterday that Song Yang will appear in court today.

Among the media, there are several familiar station logos. The media and reporters of NBC TV also rushed to the scene, and among them were several media teams with microphones, recorders, and cameras. They all hang the logo of ICNC TV station.

  Although the broadcast has not yet started, ICNC is still at the forefront of eating melons. Andy Lake, the president of ICNC TV station, personally led the team to collect materials this time, as preparation for the opening of the show.

   Looking at the media and reporters who were waiting for Song Yang to arrive, Andy Lake sighed, if ICNC TV started broadcasting and had an exclusive interview with Song Yang, wouldn't it be full of enthusiasm? !
