Silicon Valley

Cisco headquarters, CEO's office!

"Chambers, our strongest opponent now is AT\u0026amp;T. If he dares to acquire MCI, how about suing it for a monopoly?" Henry said.

Chambers smiled and said, "AT\u0026amp;T was originally broken up because of its monopoly. If we carry out publicity and say that it is going to engage in monopoly, AT\u0026amp;T will definitely change its mind and retreat without a fight!"

"Well, since that's the case, you should kick out AT\u0026amp;T first, and then we'll have a good time with AOL!!!" Henry said and laughed.

"Okay, no problem!" John Chambers laughed.

Later, through the Internet and major media in reality, John Chambers secretly manipulated public opinion and slandered AT\u0026amp;T in various ways, especially emphasizing that AT\u0026amp;T disregarded the US monopoly law, acquired MCI, and monopolized the long-distance telephone business! For a time, public opinion in the United States denounced that AT\u0026amp;T was also invited by the police to have tea. A week later, AT\u0026amp;T held a press conference and announced in public that AT\u0026amp;T decided to withdraw from the MCI acquisition! ! !

Steve Case and others know well that the withdrawal of AT\u0026amp;T must be the ghost of Cisco! But instead of stopping them, they added fuel to it. One less competitor, one more victory hope! Now, it's just a showdown between the alliance of Cisco and the Nicholas Group and the AOL alliance!

Although there is no official war between the two sides, the focus of the United States has been concentrated here. Major newspapers and TV are paying attention to this matter. Many experts and professors have expressed their opinions one after another. On the Internet, there are also heated discussions. A $10 billion acquisition is extremely rare in the United States and even in the world! But all the companies that participated in the acquisition this time have more or less fame!

Cisco and Nicholas Group are well known! ! !

"Two to ten, awesome!!!!" a netizen praised!

"Support Cisco, support Nicholas!"

The United States has always had the habit of sympathizing with the weak. Henry has only two companies here, and AOL has more than a dozen companies. Moreover, he has clearly put on a stance of "doing more and fighting less", frequently appearing in front of the media, and making nonsense. This is not What is scavenging?

"Cisco and Nicholas are definitely not our opponents!!!" worl company ceo self-confessed!

"Cisco and Nicholas get out of the MCI acquisition!" The CEO of ANS clamored. He said that AOL has a strong team and strong funds, while Nicholas and Cisco are just exaggerated. will plummet! ! !

It didn't take long for Cisco's stock price to riot, and there was a massive sell-off of shares that day!

Many media have also begun to advocate that Cisco's market value is inflated, investors have no confidence, etc., and advise investors to sell Cisco shares quickly! This time, Cisco's stock price began to plummet.

Henry and John Chambers and others called an emergency meeting.

John Chambers said solemnly: "Judging from the current situation, someone must be maliciously suppressing our Cisco stock price. This group of people, don't guess, must be the AOL!"

Henry said: "Some time ago, someone bought a large number of Cisco shares in the stock market. It seems that this has been planned for a long time!"

"That's right!" John Chambers said. "The top priority now is to stabilize the stock price. I suggest that no matter how much they sell, we must eat it!"

"How much money is still on Cisco's books?" Henry asked.

"Only $2.5 billion!"

"Give Citibank and Morgan Bank a message and ask for their help!" Henry said solemnly.

"Understood!" John Chambers nodded.

This time, the AOL alliance is aggressive. If Cisco cannot resist in the stock market, the stock price will inevitably plummet. The AOL conspiracy succeeds, not only can it make a fortune from it, but also weaken the strength of Cisco! ! !

Subsequently, Henry called the Nicholas Group to inform them to help Cisco, buy Cisco shares in the stock market, and maintain the stability of the stock price!

Cisco's stock price is far from reaching its limit. After Nicholas buys it, it will definitely appreciate!

In the following week, the stock market staged a big show. Hundreds of millions of dollars in Cisco shares were traded every day. ! ! But eventually Cisco's stock price stabilized.

Sequoia Capital Headquarters!

Representatives of Steve Case, Ford Brook, and others are here.

Steve said: "Ford, it's time for Sequoia Capital to make a move! Cisco can't hold it anymore. As long as Sequoia Capital sells its shares, Cisco's stock price will inevitably form a domino effect, plummeting, and then We will sell short, and we will definitely make a lot of money!”

Ford Brook was a little uncertain: "But Cisco has the backing of Citibank and Morgan Bank, I'm afraid..."

The action to suppress Cisco's stock price, in fact, at the beginning, Sequoia Capital did not know! This is Steve Case's poisonous plan. Because Sequoia Capital is a shareholder of Cisco, it deliberately hides it from Sequoia Capital and does not let them know that it will be difficult to turn back after the raw rice is cooked. Only informed Sequoia Capital of their actions! Now, Sequoia Capital has no way out! The actions of the AOL Alliance must be supported, otherwise, the plan will fail, and AOL and the alliance will suffer disastrous losses. As a major shareholder of AOL and as a minority shareholder of Cisco, Sequoia Capital will support who, this multiple choice question is not difficult!

But Sequoia Capital is only worried about Citibank and Morgan Bank's support for Cisco. If Sequoia Capital sells its shares, it will lose money! ! !

At this time, Steve Case smiled mysteriously and said to Ford Brook: "Ford, look who they are!"

Having said that, the CEO of Citibank and Morgan Bank walked into the door one after another!

Ford Brook was stunned and puzzled: "What's going on here? How did the CEOs of Citibank and Morgan Bank come here?"

Everyone immediately greeted the CEOs of the two major banks.

Steve smiled at Ford Brook at this time: "What's the matter? Are you confused?"

Ford Brook nodded.

Steve smiled and said, "Look at the people sitting around you!!! How could Citibank and Morgan Bank offend more than a dozen telecom companies because of Nicholas and Cisco?"

Citibank CEO Max Rockefeller said with a smile: "We will not help each other in this operation!"

"Hehe, that's right!" Morgan Bank CEO John Morgan laughed, "We Morgan Bank and Citibank remain neutral!"

Steve Case patted Ford Brook on the shoulder and said: "Since the two major banks are unwilling to help Cisco, Cisco is over, and it will definitely not be able to resist our attack! Ford, I suggest selling your shares early, you can cash out more money!"

Ford Brook and Steve Case smile at each other!

...

...

"What!!! Citibank and Morgan Bank both refused to lend to us!" Henry said in disbelief.

"Yes!" John Chambers said with a wry smile, "AOL conducted lobbying work, and Citibank and Morgan Bank do not want to offend them. After all, those telecom companies are also big customers of Citibank and Morgan!"

Henry's face suddenly sank.

You still have to open your own bank, and relying on others is unreliable after all... (please support everyone!!!)
