Chapter 61

Cisco headquarters, CEO office!

"Chambers, our strongest opponent is at & T. if he dares to buy MCI, how about suing it for monopoly?" Said Henry.

Chambers said with a smile: "at & T was originally split because of monopoly. If we carry out public opinion propaganda and say that it wants to engage in monopoly again, at & T will definitely retreat without war after hearing the news."

"Well, in that case, you'd better get at & T out of the game first, and then we'll have a good time with AOL!" Said Henry, laughing.

"OK, no problem!" John Chambers laughs.

Then, through the Internet and the real media, John Chambers secretly manipulated public opinion and slandered at & T, especially emphasizing that at & T, in spite of the U.S. monopoly law, acquired MCI company and monopolized the long-distance telephone business! At & T was invited to tea by the police. A week later, at & T held a press conference and announced in public that at & t decided to withdraw from the MCI acquisition action!!!

Steve Case and others know that at & T's exit must be caused by Cisco! But they didn't stop it, they just added fuel to it. One less competitor, one more hope of victory! Now, there is only a contest between the alliance of Cisco and Nicholas group and AOL alliance!

Although there is no formal war between the two sides, the focus of the United States has been focused here. Major newspapers and television are paying close attention to this issue. Many experts and professors have expressed their opinions one after another. On the Internet, there are also heated discussions. Ten billion US dollars acquisition is extremely rare in the United States and even in the world! If it is the company participating in the acquisition, its reputation will be more or less increased!

Cisco and Nicholas group are well-known!!!

"Two to ten, tough!!" A netizen praised!

"Support Cisco, support Nicholas!"

The United States has always been in the habit of sympathizing with the weak. There are only two companies on Henry's side, and more than ten on AOL's side. Moreover, it has obviously put on a posture of playing more and playing less. It frequently shows up in front of the media and makes a lot of comments. What's the point?

"Cisco and Nicholas are definitely not our rivals!" The CEO of WorldCom is confident!

"Cisco and Nicholas get out of MCI acquisition!" The CEO of ANS company clamored that he said AOL has a strong team and abundant funds, while Nicholas and Cisco just have unreasonably high stock prices. He even said that Cisco's stock price might plummet one day!!!

Before long, Cisco's stock price riots, the day a large number of people selling shares!

Many media also began to advocate that Cisco's market value is too high, investors have no confidence, and so on. They advised investors to sell Cisco shares quickly! This time, Cisco's share price began to plummet.

Henry, John Chambers and others held an emergency meeting.

John Chambers said in a deep voice: "judging from the current situation, there must be someone maliciously suppressing the stock price of Cisco. You don't have to guess. It must be AOL! "

Henry said: "some time ago, someone bought a lot of Cisco shares in the stock market. It seems that this is a long-term plan."

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

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

"Only $2.5 billion!"

"Tell Citibank, Morgan bank, and ask for their help!" Henry said in a low voice.

"I understand!" John Chambers nodded.

This time, AOL is threatening. If Cisco can't resist in the stock market, the stock price will fall sharply. AOL's conspiracy will not only make a profit, but also weaken Cisco's strength!!!

Later, Henry called Nicholas group to inform them to help Cisco buy shares in the stock market and keep the stock price stable!

Cisco's share price is far from the limit. After Nicholas bought it, it will certainly appreciate!

The following week, the stock market staged a big play, hundreds of millions of dollars of Cisco shares are trading every day, a throw, a buy, see people thrilling!!! But in the end, Cisco's share price stabilized.

Sequoia Capital headquarters!

Steve case, Ford brook and representatives of other companies are here.

Steve said: "Ford, it's time for Sequoia Capital to take action! As long as Sequoia Capital sells off its shares, Cisco's share price will inevitably form a domino effect and plummet. Then we can make a big profit by selling short! "

Ford Brooke was a little unsure and said, "but Cisco has the support of Citibank and Morgan bank. I'm afraid..."

In fact, at the beginning, Sequoia Capital didn't know about the action to suppress the stock price of Cisco! This is Steve Case's poison plan. Because Sequoia Capital is a shareholder of Cisco, it deliberately keeps Sequoia Capital from knowing. When the raw rice is cooked, it is hard to turn back. This is the only way to inform Sequoia Capital of their action! Now, Sequoia Capital has no way out! We must support AOL alliance's action. Otherwise, AOL and AOL alliance will suffer heavy losses if the plan fails. As a major shareholder of AOL and a minor 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 throws up its shares, it will lose money!!!

Then Steve Case gave a mysterious smile and said to Ford Brooke, "Ford, look who they are

Then, outside the door came the CEOs of Citibank and Morgan bank!

Ford Brooke was stunned and asked, "what's the matter? How did the CEOs of Citibank and Morgan bank come here? "

Everyone immediately said hello to the CEOs of the two big banks.

Steve then laughed at Ford brook and said, "what's the matter? Are you confused? "

Ford Brooke nodded.

But Steve said with a smile: "look at the people sitting around you!"!!! How can Citibank and Morgan bank offend more than a dozen telecom companies because of Nicholas and Cisco? "

Citibank CEO Max Rockefeller said with a smile: "this operation, we are not helping each other!"

"Ha ha, that's right!" John Morgan, CEO of Morgan bank, laughs, "we Morgan bank and Citibank are neutral!"

Steve Case patted Ford Brooke on the shoulder and said, "since the two big banks are not willing to help Cisco, Cisco is finished. We can't resist our attack! Ford, I suggest that we sell our shares earlier, and we can cash in more money! "

Ford brook and Steve Case look at each other and smile!

……

……

"What!!! Citibank and Morgan bank have refused to lend to us! " Henry said in disbelief.

"Yes John Chambers said with a wry smile, "AOL has lobbied. Citibank and Morgan are not willing to offend them. After all, those telecom companies are also big customers of Citibank and Morgan!"

Henry's face sank.

I have to open my own bank. I can't rely on others after all
