Back To 1995

   Chapter 463

Inside the New York Federal Prison, Ajit Wheeler was pacing back and forth in the meeting room. Ajit Wheeler never thought that one day he would come to such a place. Usually they send other people in, but Now he has to come here.

   There was a movement. Accompanied by several federal prison detectives, Ella Cherry, wearing a uniform number, walked in.

Ajit Wheeler looked at Ella Cherry and saw that Ella Cherry, who had been a little thin in the past half a year, was now even thinner, and the prison uniform seemed to be a bit empty. .

After her previous arrest, at the request of Edward Winslow's Anglo-Saxons to survive, Ella Cherry assumed all responsibility and was punished for three counts of insider trading, abuse of power, and embezzlement of funds. The Federal Department of Justice reached a settlement in exchange for three years in prison!

Ella Cherry took on almost everything, and after being convicted and the spotlight taken away from Ella Cherry, Edward Winslow's gang of Anglo-Saxon MPs, and the Brandeis, It also started working for her.

First, she was transferred to this prison with better conditions, and then her sentence was reduced in various names. Now Ella Cherry has less than a year and a half left in her sentence. If it is reduced further, she may not need to squat. In two years, as long as she pays a large amount of bail, Ella Cherry may be able to get out as long as she spends less than a year in federal prison.

   When Ajit Wheeler met Ella Cherry, she was thin but looked good.

   "Damn, they dare to treat you like this, and it's Bruno Song who should go to federal prison!"

Ajit Wheeler complained to Ella Cherry relentlessly, "Damn, you don't know what's going on now, Bill 230 has been passed, and the guys on Capitol Hill are selling The ropes around their necks..."

Ella Cherry listened calmly to the "old friend" complaining. Ajit Wheeler is not a Brandeis school, but has always been very close to the Brandeis school and conservatives. Human relationships are naturally good.

After chatting for a while, Ajit Wheeler looked up and saw Ella Cherry's calm look, "Boyce wanted to come over, but he's too busy right now, and he's the one who is suing Microsoft this time by the Federal Department of Justice. The lawyer who won the anti-monopoly case, but Boyce asked me to say hello to him, and when you come out, you can join Boyce's advisory team, or go to a university as a professor..."

Someone with a status like Ella Cherry, even if she suffered a big loss in front of Song Yang, lost face, and took the blame, but in the Brandeis School, she represented merit and would naturally take her place. Make arrangements, otherwise who will dare to charge in the future.

   In addition to Edward Winslow and others, although Ella Cherry could not be restored to her previous identity, there is still no problem in serving as a consultant in a certain department.

   "Actually, now is not the best opportunity to deal with the Internet and the technology industry!"

Ella Cherry said to Ajit Wheeler, which made Ajit Wheeler stunned for a moment. He wondered if the short half-year life in federal prison had changed Ella Cherry's character. It used to be quite aggressive.

   Seeing Ajit Wheeler's expression, Ella Cherry did not explain, but said, "Maybe from the lawsuit against Double Click Company, we lost from the beginning!"

   "The Commander-in-Chief, Capitol Hill, Wall Street, DOJ, TC, FCC, etc., don't want to see lawsuits against the Internet happen!"

Ella Cherry looked calm and said in a cold tone, thinking that the failure this time was not because of how powerful Double-click Company was, but because of the great commander and the people on Capitol Hill. The Internet was the great commander's achievement, and he also With the group of people behind him, he naturally didn't want anyone to destroy all this.

Ajit Wheeler could hear Ella Cherry's words, but it made him even more irritable. The Internet is now sought after by everyone in America. It has kidnapped too many people and wants to block it. , not to say impossible, but too difficult, before Ella Cherry was not so much sniping at the double-click company, but rather wanted to interrupt the frenzy of the Internet, but obviously she failed...

   "Are we just watching like this?!" Ajit Wheeler couldn't help but asked annoyed.

Ella Cherry got up and was about to end the meeting. Before leaving, Ella Cherry said meaningfully, "Time is the best answer. Any industry will go through two stages of frenzy and bubble. Wait until this When the industry bubble bursts, it may be the time to find out all those damned mice who are hiding in the corner and hide in the corner, and send them a trial!"

   The last sentence, Ella Cherry almost said it through gritted teeth, and Ajit Wheeler felt terrified and distorted on her face.

Seeing Riera Cherry leaving, Ajit Wheeler couldn't help being silent for a while. He knew that Ella Cherry didn't give up on revenge, but wanted to dormant and find an opportunity to give her opponent a fatal blow. hit!

   Just, Ajit Wheeler is worried that he doesn't know if the bubble Ella Cherry said will really come. As early as a few years ago, some people said that the Internet was a bubble, from academia to the Wall Street investment industry.

As a result, the frenzy of the Internet is wave after wave. People who buy Internet stocks are making crazy money. For this reason, Buffett, who believes in the value of investment, has been scolded by people, thinking that he does not understand investment at all. !

In this form, it is believed that there is a bubble in the Internet. After all, the price-earnings ratio of Yahoo has exceeded more than 200 times. What is this concept? Microsoft, which has been criticized for its high stock price, has a price-earnings ratio of more than 50 times. Yahoo's price-earnings ratio is four times higher than Microsoft's, that is, its stock price and market value are four times more than Microsoft's!

But what is the use of knowing that, Yahoo is still touted as the first stock in the Internet, and there are countless people who buy it. I can't see the day when the Yahoo stock price bubble burst, and Ajit Wheeler left the federation with a lot of thought. prison.

  Song Yang didn't know Ajit Wheeler, found her "old friend" Ella Cherry, and was about to start doing things again.

   But even if you know about it, you don’t really care. There are indeed bubbles. You shouldn’t have too many fake accounts, fake accounts, etc. in Nasdaq. When the bubble bursts, some people will be unlucky.

But when the sky fell, there was a tall one on top of it, and Enron Corporation was in front of it. The others, to be honest, were nothing but insignificant. At that time, all the attention would be on Kenneth, the CEO of Enron, a cheap fellow, and the Internet No one cares about the bubble of the company.

Even if someone is staring at Song Yang, but after the Internet bubble burst, hundreds of Internet companies are all the same, and their stock prices can drop from 100 to 100 yuan. Those who find Song Yang trouble will at most turn over old accounts and fines. The big deal is that Song Yang will delist the double-click, and wait for the market to improve before listing. Otherwise, what will happen? Anyway, the cash will be completed by then, and the leeks will be cut. Even if ICQ, Double-click, etc. are delisted, Song Yang No worries!

   "How is the development of the PayPal payment platform?"

   On the business plane flying towards Houston, Song Yang asked Aaron Svoy.

   This trip to Houston is to meet with the people at the headquarters of the Bank of Comerica, and discuss the cooperation with the Bank of Comerica after the PayPal payment platform goes online.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk. The PayPal payment platform is to take the job of the Amerika Bank Group. Since its development last year, Song Yang has invested so many beautiful knives in this project. See what it is like.

   "The development has been basically completed now, but some functions are being improved. After the PayPal payment security center is completed, it can be launched!"

Aaron Swartz said to Song Yang that the biggest problem with PayPal is not how complex the functions are or how difficult the technology is, but the security issue, which is the most important thing. Aaron Swartz wants to unite with Fortinet. On the antivirus side, several large-scale data security centers were built for PayPal in America and overseas to ensure the security of the entire payment platform.
