"I'll consider it!"

Bill Asri put down the phone and said that he was a little excited about this deal. Even if Bernard Ebbs was not good in all circumstances, as an acquirer, he was quite generous. This time he was Sprint Telecom.

The proposed offer exceeds more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, and it is promised that it will never be lower than AOL's merger with Time Warner.

This means that Sprint's management, especially Bill Asri, can use their hands to make a lot of money. In addition, through this merger, Asri can also solve many problems.

Trouble.

In this world, everyone has their own troubles. Even a person of Bill Asri's status also has his own troubles. He will retire in a few years.

This is a very common thing. Even a strong man like Welch cannot avoid this kind of problem. After all, he has reached that age and refuses to leave. Is it possible that he will die as a CEO?

He couldn't get the position. Although Asri wanted to do it, others obviously didn't want him to do it.

He has been in charge of Sprint for more than ten years, and it may have been more than twenty years since his retirement. Asriy may have been in charge of Sprint for more than twenty years. In such a long time, only he knows how much he has taken from Sprint.

, but it is an indisputable fact that the net worth of Bill Asri and his family has soared rapidly in the past ten years.

To put it simply, Bill Asri and his cronies, Sprint's president of operations Ron LeMay and his gang, even used the tax money they paid in the past to go to Sprint's account.

Used to avoid taxes, you will know how many dollars they took from Sprint!

Bill Asri wanted his confidant Ron LeMay to take over the Sprint Group, but the people on Sprint's board of directors were obviously unwilling to do so. They were no longer in power, and there was a faint tendency to challenge Asri.

, they want to invite a professional manager from outside to look at the situation, and they are not willing to let Asri's people take over Sprint anymore.

Now Bill Asriy can still use the remaining power he has accumulated over the years to suppress the people on the board of directors, but he can't guarantee how long he can suppress them.

If, in the end, Sprint Telecom really introduces someone else to serve as president, no one knows whether Bill Asriy's old accounts will be revealed. Bill Asriy is also afraid of being liquidated.

In the end, he ended up in federal prison in his later years, and he didn't want to go through that!

Now there is another way in front of Bill Asri, which is to merge Sprint with WorldCom. In that way, he will not only make a lot of money, but everything he did in Sprint will be

It disappeared and was completely wiped out, because Sprint has become history...

However, what Bill Asri is planning is not what Bernard Asri wants?

After WorldCom merged with Sprint, it could just smooth out WorldCom's accounts, use Sprint's cash flow to fill some accounts for WorldCom, then tinker with it, publish performance reports with losses for several years, and take the blame.

If you blame Sprint, maybe WorldCom's bad debts will be smoothed over gradually!

Bernard Ebbs couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as he put down the phone. He was acting arbitrarily this time and wanted to acquire Sprint at all costs. Why not? WorldCom was trying to fix its accounts and was almost out of business.

Already?!

When Bernard Ebbs and Bill Asry were both a little interested in this shocking merger, the progress of negotiations between the executives of WorldCom and Sprint suddenly accelerated.

However, the counterattack of Telephone and Telegraph Group and other American telecommunications groups came as promised. Telephone and Telegraph Group entangled a group of telecommunications groups, publicly bombarded the merger, mobilized various media, and began to exaggerate that WorldCom would monopolize long-distance calls.

market.

The Federal Securities Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Department of Justice, Capitol Hill and other American institutions that can influence this merger have received reports from the Telephone and Telegraph Group. The huge lobbying groups in Washington have also invested heavily in the Telephone and Telegraph Group.

With the reward, I began to lobby people from all walks of life to oppose this merger!

"I don't know what the federal Department of Justice is doing. When Americans need them, they will never be seen. Taxpayers pay so much money for them every year, and they are not allowed to go on vacation!

The telecommunications market in America can only allow three companies, but it will never allow only two companies to be left. Bernard Ebbs must go to Capitol Hill to attend the hearing and explain everything to Capitol Hill and the entire American people!"

Snap, the TV in Bernard Ebbs's office was turned off. He had just been in a meeting with a group of executives when he received a call from a lawyer in WorldCom's legal department, asking Bernard Ebbes to turn on the TV.

As a result, I saw the scene just now. At the gate of Parliament Hill, facing many media and reporters, as well as a group of MPs on Capitol Hill, Tom Dee Lai publicly spoke to a man who was holding a microphone with the IC TV brand on it.

Reporter, rave about WorldCom and Bernard Ebbs!

Sitch Moore clearly saw that Bernard Ebbers's face was turning blue and red after being sprayed. Especially when he heard that he was asked to go to Capitol Hill to attend the hearing, his face became extremely ugly.

"I remember that he is a member of the Elephant Party, a member of parliament donated by Bruno Song, right?!"

Bernard Ebbes suddenly laughed, and facing a group of senior executives, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "That guy Bruno did it, right? Did you see it? They were scared and would only use these inferior things."

Tricks.”

He said this, but Hickey Moore could clearly see that Bernard Ebbs looked very unhappy. As for other WorldCom executives, including Bernard's die-hard confidant Scott, they also had serious faces.

Tom Delay is the whip of the Elephant Party. Once he takes action, it means that the Elephant Party is going to cause trouble against WorldCom on Capitol Hill. Coupled with the support of the Donkey Party members from the Telephone and Telegraph Group, WorldCom is in trouble.

It’s really hard to go through the hurdles on Capitol Hill.

Even a discerning person can see that under the huge pressure from Capitol Hill, the federal Department of Justice is unwilling to come forward and start an investigation against WorldCom. It is even possible that Bernard Ebers may be called to Congress.

Go to trial, attend a hearing, just like everything Bill Gates went through!

At this time, Scott received a phone call. After a moment, he turned to Bernard Ebbs with an extremely ugly face and said, "WorldCom's stock price has dropped by 3%. Wall Street analysts are all worried about this acquisition.

Maintaining a pessimistic attitude, some Wall Street institutions have downgraded WorldCom’s stock price rating..."

"So what!"

Bernard Ebbes suddenly roared and slammed the table hard, making a loud noise that startled everyone else in the office.

With a hoarse voice and bloodshot eyes, Bernard looked as if he was going to choose someone to devour, which startled the others.

"No one can stop WorldCom, not Telephone and Telegraph, not Tom Delay, not the Department of Justice, not Bruno Song, WorldCom must acquire Sprint, no matter what method is used."

, what means!

Go talk to Splinter and reach an agreement with Splinter, nothing else will matter in the future." Bernard said with a heavy breath, waving everyone to leave.

After the animals dispersed in the office and it became quiet again, Bernard Ebbs looked at the IC logo on the TV station and felt deep disgust.

The stock price is the lifeblood of WorldCom. Song Yang's move directly cut off three inches of WorldCom's stock. Bernard Ebbs hates Song Yang to the extreme now, and regrets that he did not use all his strength back then.

America Telecom was beaten to death, which left consequences for WorldCom.

But it was too late now. Shitong was in the most critical period. Even if Song Yang disgusted Bernard Ebbs, he could not fight back. But Bernard vowed in his heart that he would pass this test in his lifetime.

, we must settle an old score with Song Yang and America Telecom!

When it was reported that WorldCom was planning to acquire Sprint, its stock price did not rise as sharply as before. Instead, it fell sharply amid opposition from the media, Capitol Hill, the Department of Justice, etc. This made many WorldCom

Hard-core Leeks also began to worry about WorldCom.

Of course, there are still many die-hard supporters of WorldCom. WorldCom's largest institutional investor, Behrens, the president of the Flemish Telecommunications Foundation, once again increased his stake in WorldCom and vowed to live and die with WorldCom.

Come on!

Behrens made a big bet that this time WorldCom could continue to win like the previous times. This time it was a bargain hunting. When WorldCom's stock price rose again, the Flagler Telecommunications Foundation could make a huge profit.

Analyst William Newbery, Bernard Ebbs' die-hard fan on Wall Street, also used his pen and once again published a majestic analysis report, even comparing Bernard to Napoleon.

"You can always trust Bernard, just like the French Guards in the Napoleonic era, you can always trust their emperor!"

William Newberle set an example by not only motivating his clients to buy WorldCom stocks, but also using all the resources and wealth in his hands to buy WorldCom stocks, ready to make a big gamble!

But neither William Newbery nor Behrens could stop WorldCom's decline. The small amount of dollars they offered could only be regarded as a little bit of excitement compared with WorldCom's market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Just water splashes.

WorldCom's stock price fell. On the other hand, the stock price of ICQ, the parent company of America Telecom, suddenly rose by 8%. Its market value once again hit a record high, reaching a prohibitive US$379 billion.

The US$400 billion club seems to be only one step away!

ICQ's stock price has soared, thanks to the news from America Telecom. With the support of Telephone and Telegraph Group, it will enter the mobile phone market business. America Telecom, which has always been walking on one leg, will have to make up for its final shortcomings. This is expected to

It can make America Telecom's revenue surge, and it can also make ICQ's future performance reports become quite beautiful!

"Song, you should put this news before Christmas. Then I might be able to have a better Christmas!"
