Chapter 64 Construction of Submarine Optical Fibers
Bernard Ebers is indeed finished, and WORL is on the verge of bankruptcy!
In this short sale, Worl lost 450 million, and the company will face a huge amount of debt. Although worl is also a member of the American online alliance, but at the same time they are competitors to each other, worl company is in a big disaster, sprint, BBN, ANS and other companies are already thinking about how to swallow worl!
Although Worl has a market capitalization of more than $5 billion, it is only market capitalization after all. The company has no money and owes huge debts, like the building is about to collapse, unless someone gives it a chance to breathe, it will really go bankrupt and liquidate!
But will anyone give it a chance to breathe?
Bernard Ebers was desperately looking for money, but no one was willing to help Worl. The allies are hell-bent on devouring it, and the banks won't come to the aid of a worl who is in a very bad financial situation!
The American Online Coalition is beginning to split internally, and a big drama of annexation of the wall of brothers is being staged!
……
……
At the time of the infighting in the AOL Alliance, Cisco came with five very surprising guests - the director of the US Telecommunications Industry Regulatory Commission, Rowan, and the French ambassador, Clark Longfellow, and their entourage!
At three o'clock yesterday afternoon, a strange phone call came to Cisco, saying that there would be US government officials visiting Cisco tomorrow morning! However, unexpectedly, the people who came were actually Rowan and French Ambassador Clark Longfellow! The moment they revealed their identities, John Chambers's heart suddenly chuckled and accelerated rapidly!
In a flash of lightning, John Chambers thought of a possibility!
"Is it ?!! that France and the United States are ready to lay a submarine fiber optic network" John Chambers carefully accompanied them to visit Cisco, and at the same time strongly recommended Cisco's products, technologies, and world networks, and hinted that Cisco definitely has the ability to lay submarine fiber optics!!
"The development speed of our Cisco WORL 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 land optical fiber or submarine optical fiber, the technology is very mature, and now 60% of the optical fiber in the United States is from CommScope!!
Rowan glanced meaningfully at John Chambers and smiled at the French ambassador, "Clark, what do you think of Cisco?"
"That's great, it's the hegemon of network equipment in the United States!! "Clark Longfellow laughs.
"Thanks to Ambassador Clark's compliment, we at Cisco will continue to forge ahead and improve!" said John Chambers with a smile.
Half an hour later, Rowan and Clark Longfellow took their leave and left Cisco. Although they didn't say anything about the purpose of visiting Cisco, a discerning person can see at a glance that it must be for some big event, otherwise the director of the U.S. Telecommunications Industry Regulatory Bureau and the French ambassador would be idle and come to Cisco for no reason.
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 are estimated to be preparing to lay a submarine network fiber, and are now looking for a suitable partner. I think we've got to win this partnership!!" John Chambers insisted.
Henry was a little excited, once the network fiber was laid in France, and then spread from France to European countries, the global Internet was about to be formed!
"That's right, we must win this !!cooperation," Henry nodded heavily, "Start PR work now, it's time for Cisco to flex its muscles!"
The U.S. government has been infiltrated by Cisco, as the overlord of network equipment, and the relationship with the military and the government is called an intimacy, and Cisco's connections are far more terrifying than ordinary people imagine. Because Cisco has done a lot of hidden things for the military and the government, especially cybersecurity, eavesdropping, and so on. Of course, these things will never be told to outsiders, and they will never admit it if they are discovered, at most they think it is a technical problem! This is not a black belly, this is survival!
Cisco took action, and many important officials in the United States began to help Cisco lobby, and Cisco itself is strong, and it is logical to lobby!
In fact, at the beginning, the U.S. government was most interested in MCI to help the United States and France lay submarine optical fiber, but MCI is now in a mess, and it is difficult to protect itself, and it can still be expected to develop submarine optical fiber? After some investigation, the director of the US Telecommunications Industry Regulatory Commission, Rowan, and the French ambassador, Clark Longfellow, were extremely satisfied with Cisco, and then added the lobbying work of major government officials!
Cisco took over this cooperation, and it almost became a certainty!
Within a week, Rowan and Clark came to Cisco again, this time to negotiate and cooperate with Cisco very formally!
John Chambers led them to the conference room.
Luo Wen, director of the Telecommunications Industry Administration, was the first to speak: "Mr. Chambers, I think you have a clear idea of our purpose! The United States and France are preparing to lay a submarine optical fiber, so they need to find a company to work with.
"Cisco is very happy to work together, and it's our pleasure!!" John Chambers said with an excited nod.
"This submarine fiber is a joint investment by France and the United States, so both parties have the right to operate it, and the U.S. government means that it is ready to hand over the operation rights of the U.S. side to Cisco!" Rowan simply added.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and John asked, "What does Cisco have to pay?"
"Cisco needs to pay 90% of the profits from the operation of the submarine fiber optic network every year!" said Rowan with a smile.
John Chambers said secretly: "Pay 90 percent, and the remaining 10 percent is equivalent to working expenses for Cisco! However, something is better than nothing! In addition, Cisco can expand the influence and popularity of the brand by taking this order, and other countries want to lay optical fibers and access the Internet, and the first thing that comes to mind must be Cisco!"
"No problem, we agree with that!" John Chambers nodded.
"As for the cost of laying submarine fiber, we hope that your Cisco company can give a budget as soon as possible, and the approximate completion date of the project should also be written!"
John Chambers smiled and said, "A week ago, we sent a ship across the ocean to explore and find the best route, and I believe it won't be long before our Cisco company can give you an answer!"
"That's !!," Rowan and Clark were very pleased with.
"Shall we sign a letter of intent first?" said John Chambers.
Rowan and Clark both nodded, "No problem!" (rolling all over the ground asking for support!! voting !!)
