Before Tang Huan left for Asia in late June, the monopoly case of Netscape v. Zheru Software Company had already been settled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, he also muttered in his heart about the newspaper quote from a certain congressman that "this matter is not so easy to end", but he was too busy to continue the in-depth analysis.

Now, the answer is on the horizon.

With the activities of some members of Congress and Justice Department officials, the Justice Department is colluding with a number of states to band together to sue Zheru Software for monopoly.

In this regard, the richest man was very angry.

Since the 1990s, the Federal Trade Commission has represented the independent ~ body, the Department of Justice represents the federal executive branch, and Netscape represents the industry...... They took turns to dwell on the monopoly of the Zheru.

After all these "singles" scenes have been staged, the more powerful "group fighting" tricks will appear again - this is clearly trying to make trouble!

Tang Huan was already sure that he was really going to be in big trouble next.

Brad Swarberg, CEO of Zheru Software, who saw this information, scolded hatefully: "These bastards! If the judicial process starts again, then go directly to the Supreme Court, so as not to be so unconvinced and entangled." ”

Tang Huan didn't answer immediately, Gainbrad Swalberg's vision was still at the level of Zheru Software Company and the management committee of Tang's IT Kingdom, and he thought more - maybe he was the ultimate goal; as for Zheru Software Company, it was only a breakthrough.

After pondering for a while, Tang Huan spoke: "Since we have known the news in advance, then Zheru Software Company must continue to maintain the previous state of working in a relaxed and tight manner; ”

Brad Swarberg nodded knowingly, and instead asked, "What about the visit to the United States for the Chinese delegation ......to the United States?"

"Continue with the original plan. Tang Huan waved his hand, "When the time comes, I will personally act as a guide to visit the most representative company parks, including Zheru Software Company - this is extremely important for further development of the Chinese market in the future, and it must be taken seriously." ”

Brad Swarberg certainly understands the implications of this—in the final analysis, only by being stronger, can we have more capital to deal with the seemingly endless troubles.

The ubiquitous Philosopher software products are certainly inseparable from mathematical algorithms such as sorting, and no matter how elaborate they are designed, they can run into the worst-case scenario, where the queue to be sorted is completely inverted compared to the required order, and must be replaced n*(n-1) times before sorting can be completed - thus confirming Murphy's Law, which states that "everything that can go wrong will go wrong in the future."

Perhaps, to use a ballad like "When the bread hits the ground, it is always the cream side that hits the ground" makes it easier for people to remember the tragedy they experienced - "It should have been okay before, but it was wrong at the critical moment".

Zheru Software Company's "inescapable" originally made Mr. the richest man unhappy, and Tang Wenmao reported another news - in the competition for MCI, there are already forces to bid $37 billion.

Hearing the other party ask, "Are you still following", Tang Huan snorted coldly, "Since these guys want to die, then let them kill themselves." ”

Hearing the head of the family squeeze out "self-defeating" in his mouth, Tang Wenmao not only had some doubts about what he meant, but when he saw Tang Huan's gloomy face, his lips moved, and it was best to hold back and not ask the bottom of it.

The richest man is now able to mobilize $37 billion for the MCI, but the problem is that even if the MCI is worth this price in terms of long-term value, the unprecedented boom in the telecommunications industry driven by the Internet tide also has a "freshness period" -- the economic trajectory of the capitalist world is characterized by obvious ups and downs, and it is precisely Tang Huan who can see that "tipping point" now, and then naturally refuses to be a "big wronged leader".

In other words, no matter how bullish Mr. Richest Man is, he is not sure that in the next three years, such a high MCI acquisition fee will be worth the price.

In addition, because of the unexpected twists and turns of MCI, Pacific Telecom, which is still negotiating with Southwest Bell, is tantamount to being in a state of two-front attack, and it is inevitable to take care of one and lose the other.

What's more, at this time, the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia is forming an Asian financial turmoil and affecting the whole world.

Heroes emerge from troubled times, and this is nothing more than that-saving this resource can be done more impressively.

So Tang Huan immediately gave a clear instruction, "The matter has come to this point, then make your position clear and sell the MCI shares in your hand, but the specific operation will wait for half a month to see." ”

Tang Wenmao could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart this time, "The Dow Jones Industrial Average has steadily stepped up to the 8,000-point level in mid-July, and now the US stock market is in full swing -- if we deliberately delay, it is really hard to say how the financial turmoil in Asia will affect the US side." ”

Mr. The richest man, who has always followed the dynamics of the US financial markets closely, explained firmly: "From 5,000 points, to 6,000 points, to 7,000 points, and most recently, to 8,000 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has broken faster and faster, almost doubling in about two and a half years - but this is only getting better, and everyone is still on the rise." In the context of economic globalization, financial fluctuations in Asia will inevitably affect the United States, but only for a while. ”

Tang Wenmao thought about it along this line of thought, and then said with a smile: "Although it is inevitable that there are some regrets about accidentally missing on MCI, it is also good to be able to make a lot of money." ”

"It's pretty good. Tang Huan said slowly with some feelings: "Then let the Asian side, there is one more blood bag." ”

Carefully observing his cousin's expression, Tang Wenmao said tentatively: "The continuous troubles on the side of Zheru Software Company seem to make you very worried. ”

"It's nothing—it's just that the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to the earth!" Tang Huan waved his hand disapprerovingly, "If you take 10,000 steps back, it's a big deal to do your best to delay it for three years or two years, this should still be possible, and time will always bring some positive variables." ”

Seeing that the head of the family was still calm and relaxed, Tang Wenmao, who was faintly uneasy, was relieved.

Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows and muttered: "This period should be very busy -- on the one hand, the financial turmoil in Asia will transmit the impact to the United States, and although it cannot shake the foundation of the US stock market today, it must also be dealt with carefully; and I must take time out to personally follow up a series of activities of the Chinese head of state's visit to the United States." ”

"We're going to get up the twelve. Tang Wenmao comforted: "Besides, Jin Chang, Jinge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang are all very sensible and can already take on a lot of things." ”

……

The visit of the Chinese head of state to the United States for the first time in 12 years is indeed of great significance, and the White House and the business community attach great importance to the United States.

This can be seen from the televised address made by US President Bill Clinton to the nation on the day of the Chinese head of state's departure.

He said: The comprehensive development of mutually beneficial cooperative relations between the United States and China conforms to the fundamental interests of the two countries; he believes that through the strengthening of the exchange of visits between the leaders of the two countries, Sino-US relations will be further improved and developed peacefully, and the differences between the two countries will also be properly resolved.

Bill Collinton's remarks not only show the determination of the US administration to develop relations with China, but also show that the US side attaches great importance to the visit of the Chinese head of state.

In fact, in February, March, and August this year, Bill Clinton sent Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Vice President Al Gore, and National Security Advisor Sandy Berg to China to discuss and determine the schedule of the Chinese head of state's visit to the United States after 12 years.

At the same time, the White House is actively preparing public opinion at home and around the world, making every opportunity to make every case for developing relations with China and winning the greatest support from the people.

It can be said that the content and timing of Bill Clinton's speech reflect the good intentions of the president of the Democratic Party, who has been chased and blocked by the Republican Party everywhere, to try to break the situation and build political achievements.

Correspondingly, anti-China forces in the United States have been rampant recently.

For example, at the beginning of this year, the "*****" was in the limelight in the United States, and China was portrayed as the "new devil's empire" after the Cold War.

In June this year, when the US Congress was debating the issue of China's most-favored-nation status, some people made some anti-China nonsense.

And the next Xiangjiang was also described by some people as "premature death".

Overall, in the first seven months of 1997, members of the US Senate and House of Representatives put forward 66 anti-China motions, which can be called a record number in recent years.

In this cold wave, the monopoly problem of Zheru Software Company was vigorously pursued, and Tang Huan could not help but think that behind it was a targeted attack on himself who came from Chinese mainland, rose with lightning speed, and now has almost achieved an invincible golden body.

The more this is the case, the more Tang Huan attaches importance to the visit of the Chinese head of state to the United States.

Needless to say, in the past, Tang Huan had more "feelings" for China, but now he has to consider "interests" first.

The closer China and the United States are connected, the more important it will be for the United States to fear losing both and thus winning space for development; in a small way, it will give the richest man in Tang, who is a minority but has climbed to the top circle, a bargaining chip that is heavy enough -- the mystery of which can only be understood, not spoken!

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the meticulous preparations made by Tang IT in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, and Tang Tycoon in Los Angeles and Hollywood, to receive Chinese delegations to the United States.

Even, the richest man simply put on his special value and came to Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, the first stop of the Chinese delegation to the United States, and picked up the plane with Governor Ben Cayetano at 9 a.m. on October 26.

One of the must-do activities of the Chinese head of state in Hawaii is to visit the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii.

It is easy to think of the origin of the Arizona, which was heavily damaged by Japanese warplanes during the naval attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and caused a violent explosion of the forward turret ammunition depot, and finally sank the Arizona in the harbor.

The United States also attaches great importance to patriotic education -- because the Arizona was so badly damaged that the US Navy decided not to salvage and repair it, and decommissioned it, but the wreckage of the Arizona still contains the remains of 1,102 of the 1,177 fallen soldiers. At the request of Admiral Arthur Radford, who served as Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, and with the support of former U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, the USS Arizona Memorial was inaugurated on the remains of the USS Arizona in 1962 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmark.

Since then, every ship belonging to the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. merchant fleet has been required to salute the wreck of the USS Arizona when it enters Pearl Harbor, known as the "Manning_The_Rails."

Therefore, the visit and remembrance of this important World War II monument by the Chinese head of state is also the proper meaning of the title.

In the evening, Ben Cayetano hosted a welcome banquet at the governor's residence, and the governor's wife sang a song of wishes, and the Chinese head of state enthusiastically picked up the Hawaiian six-stringed instrument to accompany it, which immediately won bursts of applause from the guests. This erudite and approachable style spread rapidly through the media.

……

At the end of the trip to Honolulu, the Chinese delegation flew directly to the second stop, Williamsburg, a historic city in Virginia, on the east coast of the United States.

It is home to the second-oldest university in the United States, the College of William and Mary, founded in 1693. Its graduates had a pivotal political ~ political position in the early history of the United States.

For example, 12 of the 56 signatories to the U.S. Declaration of Independence are graduates of the College of William and Mary, accounting for nearly a quarter of the seats.

For example, up to now, the College of William & Mary has produced 5 U.S. presidents, and Virginia has produced 8 U.S. presidents, which is known as the "hometown of presidents".

The second stop of the Chinese delegation to the United States came to Williamsburg, which has a deep history of politics ~ governance, which also conveys a signal.

……

On October 29, the Chinese head of state and his entourage came to the White House.

And Mr. the richest man has already received the news that with the "efforts" of some congressmen, the Department of Justice has united to at least 15 states, but it is not sure when it will officially pierce the window paper and launch an anti-monopoly lawsuit against Zheru Software.

Tang Huan's first reaction was to laugh at himself - fortunately, there is no California!
