Chapter 234
Chapter 234 Eyeing like a tiger
After a short pause, Ella Cherry finally picked up the phone, and there was a vicissitudes of voice on the other end of the phone.
"I'm sorry to call you, but now, things are beyond our agreement, Ms. Ella Cherry!" The person on the other end of the phone said to Ella Cherry in a somewhat gentlemanly tone.
But Ella Cherry knows that this "gentleman" is a real wolf that eats people without spitting out bones.
However, Ella Cherry needs to cooperate with a wolf, or need the support of the Anglo-Saxons behind the wolf!
In America, even within the Elephant Party or the Donkey Party, they are actually divided into many different circles, and among them, apart from the Jewish, German, African, Latino, Italian and other ethnic groups, the most unavoidable It's the Anglo-Saxons.
Over the years, the Anglo-Saxons seem to have receded into the background, but no one can ignore it.
This group of Anglo-Saxons entrenched in America does have a lot of influence in America. Ella Cherry is actually a member of the Anglo-Saxons, but her status is far inferior to that of the caller. The latter is from an orthodox Anglo-Saxon family. The family is a member of the "Mayflower Association". Like the old cowboy family known as the "Blue Blood Nobility", it has a lot of influence in America.
Ella Cherry can sit on the position of the Internet Director of the Trade Commission. In addition to being supported by a group of antitrust scholars, her Anglo-Saxon identity is also very important, no matter whether she is an elephant party or a donkey party , are all identified as "one of our own" by the Anglo-Saxon inside.
The reason why he dared to confront Demos Morris, his immediate boss, was because Ella Cherry was convinced that Demos would have nothing to do with her in a short period of time. As long as the Double-click Company was killed, Demos would have to hold his nose and praise her. she.
But Ella Cherry, the person on the other side who is calling now, can't play this game, "Mr. Winslow, it's just a little accident now. We talked about getting rid of those Chinese and Italians born in Houston. , Double Click, American Telecom, ICQ and other companies will all be taken over by the Winslow family..."
This time, in order to deal with the Double-Click Company, Ella Cherry also teamed up with Senator Edward Winslow. According to Ella Cherry's plan, after Song Yang and Double-Click Company are dealt with, the Winslow family will take the opportunity to take action , Snatched Double-Click, America Telecom and other companies.
This is also a common routine. Ella Cherry gained fame and supported her Winslow and other members of the family, taking this opportunity to swallow this piece of fat!
"Member Ella Cherry, I don't remember that anyone from the Winslow family has ever met with you!"
The person on the phone, obviously wary, categorically denied having spoken to Ella Cherry about any of this stuff.
But after denying it, Winslow still said, "Member Ella Cherry, I will still provide you with the necessary help, but this matter cannot be delayed for too long!"
"I'll go to Houston to meet that kid once!" Hearing the faint threat on the phone, Ella Cherry finally said that she would go to Houston in person to deal with Song Yang's troubles .
After hanging up the phone, Ella Cherry's complexion finally became a bit unsightly. She could feel that Winslow's group was a little impatient, obviously worried. So easy to swallow, started to put pressure on Ella Cherry to get her troubles out of the way as soon as possible.
This time, the reason why Ella Cherry was able to go so smoothly was to launch a three-way siege against Double-Click Company, let the Tennessee State Court accept a class action against Double-Click Company, let the Trade Commission suddenly fine Double-Click Company, and started to launch anti-monopoly again The investigation is inseparable from Winslow's gang, otherwise, even Ella Cherry would not be able to do all this in a short time.
And if Ella Cherry cannot bring enough returns to Winslow and the others, I am afraid that Winslow and the powerful Anglo-Saxons behind him will also stop supporting Ella Cherry.
Her gaze became serious, and Ella Cherry knew that during this trip to Houston, Song Yang and Double-Click Company must be completely overwhelmed, and Song Yang must completely surrender, otherwise Winslow and others will not be able to divide Song Yang's property. She may also lose her reputation, and for Ella Cherry, there is no way out this time either!
After double-clicking the company and declaring that it would not compromise and admit defeat, it also began to take action intensively, forming a luxury lawyer team, and hiring a public relations team to start lobbying.
Song Yang was also interviewed by the local media in Houston. Apart from going to court and throwing money at him, he is now engaged in a public opinion war. Public opinion does not guarantee victory, but once he falls into a passive position, it will be a reminder.
When he went to KHOU, a local TV station in Houston, where he had interviewed last year, Song Yang met a lawyer team composed of three law firms.
As three of the top ten law firms in America, Latham & Watkins, Jones Day and Baker McKenzie, this time also formed a luxurious lineup for Double-click, inviting the top barristers in America to lead the team.
"This is attorney Clifford Chance, partner of Latham International America, and attorney Bob Joffe, partner of Baker & McKenzie..."
Gleick brought a group of lawyers to Song Yang. Big law firms basically have a partnership system. These well-known barristers themselves have a good reputation. Pretty good.
Joining major law firms is more of an icing on the cake. In addition, these large law firms can provide these lawyers with more large orders, and increase their influence.
Song Yang got up and shook hands with Clifford Chance, Bob Joffe and others, and made them sit down.
Only people in the industry can understand the industry. Gleick has a very low attitude when facing Clifford Chance and others. It is precisely because he is also a member of the lawyer industry that he understands these barrister-level figures , How powerful it is.
Glek mentioned to Song Yang the brilliant record of Clifford Chance in the past. In the past ten years, Clifford Chance has fought a series of lawsuits for Express, Pacific Railway, etc., and almost never lost a single one.
What caught Song Yang's attention the most was that Clifford Chance also served as the assistant attorney general of the California court, and was nominated as the director of the American Federal Department of Justice. He has deep connections in America.
Bob Joffe and others are not much different. They are a proper group of suing sticks. They have also entered the revolving door and served in the judiciary, state court, and procuratorate in America. A group of acquaintances arrived...
Although he has never heard the name of Greg, but with the title of double-click legal manager, and he is concerned about the relationship with Song Yang, Clifford Chance and others are also quite polite to Greg,
Clifford Chance, who is over 60 years old, is at the peak of his life just like the old Chinese doctor. He needs experience, experience, contacts and connections, and he has a great reputation. His words and deeds can be seen in the legal circle. Make huge waves.
Dressed in a tuxedo and combing his hair meticulously, just like an old-school lawyer who came out of a Hollywood legal drama, Clifford Chance always had a serious expression on his face. The nasolabial folds are very obvious, and Clifford Chance is also obvious He is the leader of the lawyer team formed by the three law firms this time.
"Song, we need to know how far you want this lawsuit to go!" Clifford Chance asked directly, the bottom line in Song Yang's heart, how far he was going to let these lawsuits go, so that they could Develop strategies.
"Everyone is the best lawyer in America. I hope Double-Click can win this time. The worst... can't admit defeat!"
In the media news before, I saw the statement of the double-click company, but after listening to the founder's statement, Clifford Chance and others were moved to be tough with the trade committee.
Hearing that Song Yang was about to go down hard, Clifford Chance showed a smile on his face. At his level, to be honest, of course he also valued money, but he wanted to engage in a wave of big lawsuits, which could even change history. , a prosecution documented in American jurisprudence, but more interesting to Clifford Chance.
Once Song Yangde expressed his opinion, the joint legal team knew how to play, that is, let go of their hands and feet, and toss hard.
"Song, we will formulate a strategy as soon as possible. During this period, we hope that Double-click and you can cooperate with us. In addition, we also want to remind that this prosecution may take a long time, and the costs incurred will also be high." ..."
Greg, who had already been authorized by Song Yang, said at this time, "Double-click will bear all the expenses. As long as it wins, and if it wins the lawsuit, Double-click and other companies in Song's hands will also invite everyone to join us." Law firm, carry out legal cooperation!"
Hearing this, Clifford Chance, Bob Joffe and the others had complete smiles on their faces. Song Yang was much more disciplined than they imagined.
The reason why these law firms are so active is that in addition to wanting fame and huge legal fees, they also want to get legal services from companies such as Double Click and America Telecom, and even take this opportunity , Enter Silicon Valley and the Internet industry.
"Lawyer Qian Si, I would like to know how many chances can double-click have for this fine appeal and anti-monopoly lawsuit?" Song Yang asked.
Still with that rigid and serious expression, Clifford Chance also looked at Song Yang, "We don't know how much evidence the Trade Commission has in the hands of Ella Cherry, and we can't give you exact information. Answer, but I guarantee that this fine, lawsuit, and class action are all loopholes, as long as there are loopholes, the worst result is that this lawsuit will be dragged to two years later!"
Clifford Chance is not sure, like Zhang San, an outlaw lunatic, who can play abnormally and guarantee not to lose, play normally and send the opposite lawyer to the federal prison, and play supernormally, so that the one with the hammer is also sent to the federal prison, but he wants to Song Yang made a promise that even if he couldn't win, he could turn this lawsuit into a bad one and drag it on.
Song Yang stretched out his hand to Clifford Chance, his words were enough.
At night, after more than a year, Song Yang reappeared in the recording studio of the local KHOU TV station in Houston.
