readx;?“ Not less," Philip said. Bird subconsciously frowned, as if he also found this question tricky. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info [Full Text Reading] Of course, in front of his political patron, he naturally will not hide anything: "What I have learned is that your opponent has persuaded about 40 members of the House of Representatives, and the price they paid is only a favor. ”

Motorola and IBM don't actually have to pay any substantial price at all, just tell those members of the House of Representatives that they owe them a favor, what is a favor? To put it simply, if you vote in favor of my proposal on such a matter that is not in your interests, then when you need it, as long as it does not affect our interests, we will unconditionally vote in favor of you.

Lin Zheng knew very well what this meant, so he immediately asked, "40 members of the House of Representatives?" ”

"I can't rule out that there are others that I don't know."

The matter is more serious than he imagined, Lin Zheng frowned slightly, there are about 30 supporters on his side at present, and 20 people have clearly said that they will abstain at that time, only 50 people, and the "Anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance" has found 40 supporters, or more than 40 people, how many people say they don't support but don't oppose it?

"So, we're a lot behind our competitors?"

"Actually, it's not a lot." Philip. Bird shrugged: "But if we don't hurry up and take some strong measures to turn things around, I'm afraid things will get worse and worse." ”

"That is, we have to look for more allies?"

"I'm afraid so, but then we need to pay a big price." Philip. Bird was still very considerate of his patron, and he didn't want his patron to suffer too much financial impact because of the lawsuit - if that happened, it would mean that his patron would be able to provide him with far less money, which would be the worst news for any politician.

It's tricky, it's tricky!

Philip. The news brought by Bird was much worse than Lin Zheng had expected. Lin Zheng stood up and paced slowly around the room. Philip. Bird looked at him nervously. He was eager to see how his benefactor would come up with a solution to the problem, and who else in the whole of America could be better than Philip. Bird hopes that ICQ can win, and hopes that the "ICQ monopoly" proposed by the "anti-joint innovation technology alliance" cannot be passed. Bird too.

"No matter how big the price is, it is less than the price paid for going to the legal process!" Lin Zheng waved his hand vigorously and said to Philip in an irrefutable tone. "Although no one can guarantee that this lawsuit will not go to legal proceedings. But all we have to do is do our best to prevent this lawsuit from going to law. ”

"Of course," said Philip. Bird nodded approvingly, and said with deep feelings: "Lawsuits or something are the most annoying." ”

Seeing this, many readers will be surprised, following the normal procedure. This lawsuit should not be like this, just like Netscape sued Microsoft for monopoly two years ago, the key to this kind of anti-monopoly is not that the victim company should first file a complaint with the Ministry of Justice, and then the Ministry of Justice will make a preliminary judgment based on the evidence provided by the victim company, and when the preliminary judgment is that the complained company is indeed suspected of monopoly, it will begin to organize personnel to investigate the complained company, and if the results of the investigation prove that the complained company does have monopolistic behavior...... This outcome is inevitable...... So the next step is for the Department of Justice to file a lawsuit in federal court and finally enter the legal process?

Whoever thinks so, I can only say one thing: brother. Are you naïve, do you really think that the United States is a paradise on earth for cooking and freedom? Just like all business and political confrontations, the effort is done on the surface, and when you see Netscape complaining to the Department of Justice about Microsoft's monopoly on the market, it actually means that the confrontation under the surface of the water has come to an end.

You may see this, but you still don't understand, what does this have to do with senators, representatives, and the Senate and the House of Representatives? You Lin Zheng are jumping around in the upper and lower courtyards of other Americans, what are you tossing, what are you tossing?

Well, of course it matters, after being accused. If the final verdict is in favor of Lianchuang Technology, it is needless to say, but in fact, you know with your heels that such a result will never occur, and at this time, ICQ can appeal. Eventually, the parliament will vote, and at this time, everyone understands the role of the parliamentarians, right? They are the final judges!

"Anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance" means to tell Lianchuang Technology, don't give Lao Tzu a dying struggle, Lao Tzu is enough to deal with those bastards in the Congress. No matter how much you struggle, you have a yarn meaning? Honestly bow your head to Lao Tzu and admit defeat, maybe Lao Tzu will be magnanimous and spare your life;

And Lianchuang Technology also wants to tell those who want to make themselves a moment through activities in the Congress: Sun thief! Don't bother with anything, it's really easy to bully Lao Tzu, some of you are right, but you don't know the two jujubes? More than people, right? Come on, come on, these are our people, there is a kind of you who pull your people out and show up......

If there are more people gathered here by Lianchuang Technology, "Anti-Lianchuang Technology Hurriedly" suddenly trembled when he saw it: I wipe! Lin Zheng's grandson thief called so many people? Lao Tzu doesn't seem to be able to kill him? In this way, of course, this battle will not be done.

Let's talk about it quite vulgarly, but in fact, this is the case, the two sides are now desperately trying to pull people in the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the core purpose is to achieve the goal of "surrendering the army without a fight" -- it takes money to fight a lawsuit, and the more barristers, the higher the lawyer's fees are needed. I'm going to give you a smack!

But for the owner who pays the money, who doesn't feel distressed about paying hundreds of millions of dollars to a lawyer? How good it is for me to spend such a large sum of money myself, why should I give it to lawyers, not to mention that the money given to lawyers in this death is only a small part of it, hush money and public relations fees for the media, and the benefit fees for politicians who are waiting for the next piece of R from you with their big mouths wide open......

As soon as a lawsuit starts, there are too many places to spend money, and every day of this kind of anti-monopoly lawsuit is equivalent to driving a big truck full of money into the sea......

So don't look at the amount of money that everyone seems to be spending a lot of money now, but compared to a long-lasting antitrust lawsuit that lasts for several years, these are small amounts of money.

"So, it's imperative for us to find more allies?"

"Yes." Philip. Bird said categorically: "If we can find more allies, this lawsuit will not be fought." "Hesitating, Philip. Bird made a suggestion: "Sir, I heard that you and Bill. Mr. Ford has a good relationship? If we can get Mr. Ford's help, we have a big chance of winning. ”

Find Bill. Of course, it was a good idea for Ford to help, but Lin Zheng shook his head: "It's not looking for Bill yet. Ford's time. ”

Philip. Bird's eyes suddenly had a little disappointment, in his opinion, if he could make Bill. If Ford pulls on his side, you mean that at least 2 senators and no less than 10 representatives are on your side, and if you pay some price to pull Ford's allies to your side, your side can win 40%.

In such a big struggle, the chances of winning 4 percent are already very high. But unfortunately, this Oriental stubbornness is a little too much.

"It would be unwise to work with them without the capital to bargain with Ford." Gaze from Philip. Bird's face swept over, and Lin Zheng knew that Philip. Bird was thinking something in his heart, and nodded to him unceremoniously.

Philip. Bird was taken aback, and then realized that he had made a very serious mistake: politicians don't make friends, what they do has always been an exchange of interests, since it is an exchange, a basis is that everyone is at the same level, the environment they face is almost the same, and now their own financial owners are in such a difficult situation, which politician will give up such a good opportunity to rob?

He didn't think Ford would miss out on this opportunity.

Philip. Bird was also clever, realized his mistake, and immediately apologized to Lin Zheng.

Waving his hand, Lin Zheng signaled that he didn't mind, took two steps, he carefully considered and scrutinized, and then said: "If, I mean if, if we find a crisis that no one has discovered, how much will it help us in our current situation?" ”

"Crisis?" Philip. Bird's eyes immediately widened, based on the instinct of a political creature, he was keenly aware that what he could describe with the word "crisis" would definitely not be a trivial matter, what was a crisis for a politician? Crisis is their political capital! Aware of this, Philip. Bird's breath was short: "Sir, are you sure it's a 'crisis'?" ”

The word "crisis", Philip. Bird bites hard!

"I'm pretty sure." Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively.

Philip. Bird became more and more excited, he rubbed his hands excitedly, and whispered, "So, can you tell me what the crisis is?" How big is the range? ”

"Is it a food safety crisis, is it ...... Worldwide. ”

"Oh God! My God! "Philip. Bird's excited heart couldn't stand it anymore, and he pressed his hand on his chest and breathed two times: "You let me slow first, slow down first...... Okay sir, are you sure you're talking about a food safety crisis that is sweeping the world, right? ”

"That's right."

"Including the United States?"

"Including the United States, of course."

"Never been found before?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Then we've sent it! I can swear to you, we won! That alone will allow us to secure the support of at least 20 senators! (To be continued.) )
