Silicon Valley

Chapter 61: AOL conspiracy

  Cisco headquarters, CEO office!

   "Chambers, our strongest opponent now is AT&T. What if he dares to acquire MCI and sue it for a monopoly?" Henry said.

   Chambers smiled and said, "AT&T was originally split due to monopoly. If we propagate public opinion and say that it is going to engage in monopoly, AT&T will definitely change after hearing the situation and retreat without a fight!"

   "Well, in that case, you should first kick AT&T out of the game, and then we will play with them on AOL!!!" Henry said, and laughed.

   "Okay, no problem!" John Chambers laughed.

   Later, through the Internet and major media in reality, John Chambers secretly manipulated public opinion and carried out various slanders on AT&T, especially emphasizing that AT&T ignored the US monopoly law, acquired MCI, and monopolized the long-distance telephone business! For a time, public opinion in the United States condemned, AT&T was also invited by the police to drink tea. A week later, AT&T held a press conference and announced in public that AT&T has decided to withdraw from this MCI acquisition! ! !

   Steve Case and others know that the withdrawal of AT&T must be a ghost of Cisco! But they didn't stop it, but added fuel and vinegar. One less competitor, one more hope of victory! Now, there is only a showdown between the alliance formed by Cisco and the Nicholas Group and the AOL alliance!

   Although the two sides have not yet officially started a war, the focus of the United States has been concentrated here. Major newspapers and television are paying attention to this matter. Many experts and professors have expressed their opinions. On the Internet, there are also heated discussions. A $10 billion acquisition is extremely rare in the United States and even in the world! But all the companies that participated in the acquisition this time have more or less increased their reputation!

   Cisco and Nicholas Group are well-known! ! !

   "Two to ten, awesome!!!" A certain netizen praised!

   "Support Cisco, support Nicholas!"

The United States has always had the habit of sympathizing with the weak. Henry has only two companies, and AOL has more than a dozen, and he also obviously puts on a posture of playing more and less, showing up in front of the media frequently, and ranting, this is not What's looking for?

   "Cisco and Nicholas are definitely not our opponents!!!" The company's ceo believes itself!

"Cisco and Nicholas get out of the MCI acquisition!" The CEO of ANS yelled. He said that the AOL team is strong and the funds are abundant, but Nicholas and Cisco are just inflated stock prices. He even talks about it. Cisco's stock price may be someday. Will plummet! ! !

   It didn’t take long for Cisco’s stock price to riot, and that day someone sold a lot of shares!

  Many media have also begun to advocate that Cisco's market value is inflated, investors have no confidence, etc., to advise investors to quickly sell Cisco shares! This time, Cisco's stock price began to plummet.

   Henry, John Chambers and others held an emergency meeting.

   John Chambers said solemnly: "From the current situation, someone must be maliciously suppressing our Cisco stock price. This group, don’t guess, it must be AOL!"

   Henry said: "Some time ago, someone bought a large number of Cisco shares in the stock market. It seems that this is a long-planned plan!"

   "That's right!" John Chambers said, "The top priority now is to stabilize the stock price. I suggest that no matter how much they throw out, we must eat it!"

   "How much money is left on Cisco's books?" Henry asked.

   "Only 2.5 billion US dollars!"

   "Give Citibank and Morgan Bank a notification and ask for their help!" Henry said solemnly.

   "Understood!" John Chambers nodded in response.

   This time, the AOL alliance is coming fiercely. If Cisco cannot resist the stock market, the stock price will inevitably fall. The AOL conspiracy will not only make a profit from it, but also weaken Cisco's strength! ! !

   Then Henry called the Nicholas Group and informed them to help Cisco buy Cisco shares on the stock market and maintain stock price stability!

   Cisco's stock price is far from reaching its limit. After Nicholas bought it, it will definitely appreciate!

   In the following week, the stock market staged a big drama, hundreds of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars in Cisco shares are traded every day, one throw, one buy, it was thrilling to see! ! ! But in the end, Cisco's stock price stabilized.

   Sequoia Capital Headquarters!

   Steve Case, Ford Brook and representatives of other companies are here.

Steve said: "Ford, it’s time for Sequoia Capital to make a move! Cisco can’t hold it anymore. As long as Sequoia Capital sells its shares, Cisco’s stock price will inevitably form a domino effect and plunge. We can make a fortune by selling short!"

  Ford Brook is a little uncertain: "But Cisco has the support of Citibank and Morgan Bank, I'm afraid..."

   The action to suppress Cisco's stock price, in fact, at the beginning, Sequoia Capital did not know! This is Steve Case’s poisonous scheme. Because Sequoia Capital is a shareholder of Cisco, it deliberately conceals Sequoia Capital and prevents them from knowing that Sequoia Capital will wait until the raw rice is cooked and it’s hard to turn around. This Only then did they inform Sequoia Capital of their actions! Now, Sequoia Capital has no retreat! Must support AOL’s actions, otherwise, if the plan fails, AOL and the alliance will suffer heavy losses. Sequoia Capital, as the major shareholder of AOL and as a minority shareholder of Cisco, who will he support? This multiple-choice question is not difficult!

   But Sequoia Capital is only worried about Citibank and JPMorgan’s support for Cisco. If Sequoia Capital sells its shares, it will lose money! ! !

   At this time, Steve Case smiled mysteriously and said to Ford Brook: "Ford, see who they are!"

   As I said, I walked into the CEO of Citibank and Morgan Bank one after another outside the door!

   Ford Brook was stunned, and his face was puzzled: "What's going on? Why did the CEOs of Citibank and Morgan Bank come here?"

   Everyone immediately greeted the CEOs of the two major banks~www.NovelMTL.com~ Steve smiled at Ford Brook at this time: "What's the matter? Are you very confused?"

   Ford Brook nodded.

   Steve smiled and said, "Look at who is sitting around!! How can Citibank and Morgan Bank offend more than a dozen telecommunications companies because of Nicholas and Cisco?"

   Citibank CEO Max Rockefeller smiled and said, "We are not helping each other in this operation!"

   "Hehe, that's right!" Morgan Bank CEO John Morgan smiled, "We, Morgan Bank and Citibank remain neutral!"

Steve Case patted Ford Brook on the shoulder and said: "Since the two major banks are unwilling to help Cisco, and Cisco is finished, it must not be able to withstand our attack! Ford, I suggest selling off the shares early, and you can cash out more Money!"

   Ford Brook and Steve Case looked at each other and smiled!

  ……

  ……

   "What!! Citibank and Morgan Bank both refused to lend us!" Henry said in disbelief.

   "Yes!" John Chambers smiled wryly, "AOL has conducted lobbying work, and Citibank and Morgan Bank are not willing to offend them. After all, those telecommunications companies are also big customers of Citi and JPMorgan!"

   Henry's face suddenly sank.

I still have to open my own bank, and relying on others is ultimately unreliable... (Please support ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.NovelMTL .com~For mobile users, please go to read.</a>
