Chapter 762

September 30.

Skype, the second product of starship technology, will be officially launched today after some crazy publicity from Zhuke, Google, LinkedIn and Amazon.

Many people are looking forward to seeing it, but not everyone thinks so.

At & T.

It is the first company in the world to open telephone communication business and sell telephone. Founded in 1877, it once monopolized the long-distance and local telephone market of the United States for a long time. At the same time, he also went through many splits and reorganizations. Although it has encountered many challengers, it is still the largest local and long-distance telephone company in the United States.

The company's predecessor was bell telephone company.

you 're right!

It was the company founded by bell, the "father of the telephone". Bell left behind not only at & T, a communications giant, but also Ge, a monopoly giant.

At the moment, in a huge conference room of at & T, many shareholders and senior executives are indifferent, angry, disdainful or ferocious

One person, one appearance, different emotions.

"You guys, don't forget that the purpose of our meeting here today is to deal with the Skype software that will be launched soon." Hutchins sank.

Hutchins, whose full name is Songren h. Hutchins, is the current chairman of at & T, a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and vice chairman of the Brookings Institution

From 1992 to 1993, he was also a senior adviser on the transformation of the government;

From 1993 to 1994, he was the special adviser to the White House on economic and health care policy;

Personal resume, brilliant!

.......

If you look at the other senior executives present at the moment, they are all business tycoons with brilliant resumes.

Current CEO: Richard Fisher.

From 1997 to 2001, he served as deputy trade representative and Ambassador of the United States of America. He was responsible for bilateral trade agreements with Vietnam for many times, and helped China to join the WTO.

.......

CEO: Debra L. Lee.

She is a female executive. Her ability to overpower many men in American male dominated enterprises is enough to show her excellence. Before that, she also served as the CEO of Viacom group for several years;

In 2018, she became CEO of at & T;

.......

Current CFO: Randall L. Stephenson.

He is young, energetic and inconspicuous, but his ability to become the chief financial officer of a company with a market value of nearly 200 billion US dollars is enough to show his strong personal ability;

At the same time, he will become the chairman of at & T in the future;

By 2021, at & T's list of tens of thousands of shareholders, he will be the person with the highest shareholding ratio and become the largest individual shareholder worthy of the name;

"I say it again!"

"We have to pay more attention to it. Even if we are the current leader in the field of communication, behind Skype is Google, LinkedIn, Amazon, and even the man of Zucker Wald. You say, "can we relax?"

Chairman Hutchins said.

"Mr. Hutchins is right. After all, he's Zucker Wald," said Debra, the CEO. As you all know, before I joined the company, I worked for Mr. Lei Shidong of Viacom group for several years. I watched him step by step. From a fledgling seller of film peripheral products, I became the boss, director and producer of a film company. Then I bought TV stations and radio stations, and I became the current entertainment tycoon step by step. "

"In front of that man... We can't be too careful!"

The voice fell.

All the executives and shareholders present nodded together.

The rise of Zhuke is undoubtedly a myth, which of them is not familiar?

That's why they are so cautious!

30 Minutes!

An hour!

2 hours!

It was four hours before the meeting came to an end.

In the end, chairman Hutchins summed up: "no matter what method is used, whether it's money throwing or political power, in short, we have only one purpose, absolutely can't, can't, can't let Skype software rise!"

......

meanwhile.

Verizon Telecom, Comcast Telecom, chartered communications and many other telecom giants have taken different measures to deal with the listing of Skype software.

Including Zucker's old friend, Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim, a wealthy man in Mexico, also launched a criticism on Skype software.

In a recent interview with Time magazine, Carlos Slim made it clear that he hated Skype.

Reporter asked: "as far as I know, since 1998, the Carlos foundation under your name has been cooperating with vold film under the name of Zucker vold. The Carlos foundation has also invested in human clearance project, Sparta 300 warrior, spider man, Harry Potter and other film projects."

"To sum up, over the past few years, your foundation has invested as much as $400 million in the Wald film project."

"You and Jack Wald are friends, so to speak."

"Then I ask you, why do you still make many criticisms about Skype software, and how can you be so disgusted?"

Hehe~

Carlos Slim gave the reporter a look on the spot, as if looking at a fool!

He is the richest man in Mexico, and he is also a telecom tycoon in Mexico. Now Zhuke has developed Skype software, which has undoubtedly greatly hurt his interests.

As the saying goes: to cut off a person's money is like killing a parent.

You say, can Carlos give Zucker a good face?

What about criticism and slander?!

It's not just the United States, it's not just Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico. It can be said that since the birth of Skype software, any communication company in the world has been the enemy of Zucker!

.......

At noon that day, Skype software was online on time!

Thanks to the recent efforts and crazy advertising bombing, Skype software has gained more than 20000 users in North America in just one minute.

Data continues to soar!

Jeff Bezos: "not bad."

Larry Page: "man, with 20000 users a minute, you call this' right '? Oh, are you crazy, or am I crazy? This score is so good that it explodes, OK? "

Jeff Weiner: "it's still too early to say that. After all, once online, we have made such achievements because of our early publicity, not because users like to use Skype software. It's still unknown how many users we can get in the future."

"Don't look at me. Or that sentence... You can always believe in Jack Wald! "

The second watch is on.
