Silicon Valley

Chapter 64: Construction of submarine optical fiber

   Bernard Ebers is indeed dead, and the company is almost on the verge of bankruptcy!

   This short sale, the company lost 450 million yuan, and the company will face huge debts. Although the company is also a member of AOL, but at the same time is each other's competitors, the company has suffered a catastrophe, sprint, BBN, ANS and other companies are already considering how to swallow the company!

   Although the company's market value exceeds 5 billion US dollars, it is only market value after all. The company has no money and owes huge debts as if a building is about to collapse. Unless someone gives it a chance to slow down, it will really go bankrupt and liquidate!

   But will anyone give it a chance to relax?

   Bernard Ebers was desperately searching for funds, but at this time no one wanted to help. Allies are deliberately trying to swallow it, and the bank will not lend a hand to the terrible financial situation!

   AOL began to split internally, and a brother-in-law annexation drama is being staged!

  ……

  ……

   While the American Online Alliance was fighting, there were five surprising guests from Cisco: US Telecommunications Industry Administration Director Rowan, French Ambassador Clark Longfellow and their entourage!

   At three o'clock yesterday afternoon, an unfamiliar phone called Cisco, saying that a US government official would visit Cisco tomorrow morning! However, I did not expect that the people who came were actually Rowan, Director of the Telecommunications Industry Administration, and Clark Longfellow, the French ambassador! The moment they revealed their identity, John Chambers's heart suddenly slammed, and he speeded up!

   Between the electric light and the flint, John Chambers thought of a possibility!

"Are France and the United States preparing to lay a submarine optical fiber network?!!!" John Chambers carefully accompanies them to visit Cisco with his excitement, and at the same time strongly recommends Cisco products, technologies, and networks, and hints, Cisco definitely has the ability to lay submarine optical fiber! ! !

"The development speed of our Cisco network is the fastest in the United States, and the optical fiber technology is also the best in the United States! We have the most first-class optical fiber company CommScope, whether it is terrestrial optical fiber or submarine optical fiber, the technology is very mature, now the United States 60 % Of the optical fiber is from CommScope!!!"

   Rowan glanced at John Chambers meaningfully and smiled at the French ambassador: "Clark, what do you think of Cisco?"

   "Very great, worthy of being the overlord in the field of network equipment in the United States!!!" Clark Longfellow laughed.

   "Thank you for the compliment of Ambassador Clark, we at Cisco will continue to forge ahead and make continuous progress!" John Chambers smiled.

   After half an hour, Rowan and Clark Longfellow left and left Cisco. Although they did not say at all about the purpose of visiting Cisco, a discerning person can tell at a glance that it must be for a major event, otherwise the Director of the United States Telecommunications Industry Administration and the French ambassador will be bothered by the pain and come here for no reason. Is Cisco strolling around?

   After Rowan and Clark left, John Chambers quickly called Henry to inform him of the incident.

"Chairman, in my opinion, the United States and France estimate that they are preparing to lay a submarine network optical fiber, and are now looking for a suitable partner. I think we must win this cooperation!!!" John Chambers firmly said .

   Henry was a little excited. Once the network fiber is laid in France, and then spread from France to European countries, the global Internet will soon be formed!

   "Yes, we must win this cooperation!!!" Henry nodded heavily, "Starting public relations work immediately, it's time for Cisco to show its muscles!"

   The US government has often been infiltrated by Cisco. As the overlord of network equipment, the relationship with the military and the government is called closeness. Cisco's network is far more terrifying than ordinary people think. Because Cisco has done a lot of secret things for the military and the government, especially network security, monitoring and the like. Of course, these things will never be told to outsiders, and they will never be admitted if they are discovered. At most, they will be regarded as technical problems! This is not a black belly, this is survival!

   Cisco started to act, and many important US officials began to help Cisco in lobbying, and Cisco itself is powerful, and lobbying is a matter of course!

  Actually, the US government was most interested in MCI's assistance in laying submarine optical fiber in the United States and France at first, but MCI is now in a mess, and it is difficult to protect itself. Can it still be counted on to develop submarine optical fiber? So, the second best thing is to find Cisco. After some inspections, the US Telecommunications Industry Administration Director Rowan and French Ambassador Clark Longfellow were extremely satisfied with Cisco, and then added the lobbying work of major government officials!

   Cisco took this order of cooperation, and it has almost become a certainty!

   Within a week, Rowan and Clark came to Cisco again. This time they came to discuss and cooperate with Cisco very formally!

   John Chambers took them to the conference room.

The Director of the Telecommunications Industry Administration, Luo Wen, first said: "Mr. Chambers, you must know our purpose! The United States and France are preparing to lay a submarine optical fiber, so they need to find a company to work together. After some inspection and comparison, We think Cisco is the most suitable company!"

   "Cisco is very happy to cooperate~www.NovelMTL.com~ This is our honor!!!" John Chambers nodded excitedly.

   "This submarine optical fiber is jointly invested by France and the United States, so both parties have the right to operate! What the U.S. government means is that it is ready to hand over the operating rights of the United States to Cisco for management!" Rowan added simply.

   There is no free lunch in the world, John asked: "What conditions does Cisco need to pay?"

   "Cisco needs to turn over 90% of the profit from the operation of the submarine optical fiber network every year!" Luo Wen said with a smile.

John Chambers secretly said: "The 90% paid in, and the remaining 10% is equivalent to working expenses for Cisco! However, it is better to have something than nothing! In addition, Cisco can expand the brand's influence and influence by taking this order. Popularity, if other countries want to lay down optical fiber and connect to the Internet, the first thing that comes to mind must be Cisco!"

   "No problem, we agree with this!" John Chambers nodded.

   "As for the cost of laying submarine optical fiber, we hope that your Cisco company can give a budget as soon as possible, and also write down the approximate completion date of the project!"

   John Chambers smiled and said: "A week ago, we had sent ships to explore the ocean and are looking for the best route. I believe it will not be long before our Cisco company will be able to give you an answer!"

   "That's good!!!" Rowan and Clark were very satisfied with this.

   "Then we first sign the letter of intent for cooperation?" John Chambers said.

Rowan and Clark both nodded, "No problem!" (Rolling all over the floor for support!!! Vote~www.NovelMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all here. ~www.NovelMTL.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read.
