Chapter 1382

The donkey party has a deeper control over the media industry. As soon as Gore's new campaign line comes out, from big news stations to local channels, from newspapers and magazines to professional financial professionals, they all have tacit understanding and preach the saying "he can create, he can save.".

This is a crisis public relations on the stock market disaster, which also represents a major political turn. It shows that Al Gore and the donkey party are determined to win over the technology and Internet tycoons who are transforming from technology heroes to Wall Street upstarts. They hold a large amount of capital, and the power of new media is gradually emerging.

This year, about 40% of the election funds of the elephant party come from the financial industry on Wall Street, while the donkey Party's proportion is less than 20%. This data shows that business is business. When the Silicon Valley tycoons who have been disheartened by the stock market crash sit on Wall Street, they will no longer like the financial regulatory policies advocated by Gore and feel nostalgic for the past sincere cooperation.

So the implication of Gore's move is that he promises to rescue the market after he is elected, and beat some people who understand.

"In this way, we don't have to be suspicious. Just continue to support Mr. deputy commander."

Inside the huge Boeing 757-200, Jim Clark, who came to visit, pointed to gore who was making a speech on the TV with a smile: "now it's up to him how to express his position on the Microsoft monopoly case."

Paul Allen, the former owner and the second largest individual shareholder of Microsoft, imitates the interior decoration style of air force one, with large leather seats, combined sofas, small conference room, hidden telescopic bar and so on. The narrow body airliner is divided into one in one space to meet the needs of business.

Of course, a compact air bedroom with a big bed, shower and lavatory facilities and all five internal organs is essential, and the number of passengers is only a quarter of that of the same commercial flight.

The front of the small conference room with the special slender conference table has an old-fashioned big butt picture tube TV, which is well wrapped up by the wooden combination cabinet. Songya accompanied Jim Clark and his friends to sit or stand in the conference room. The front and rear cabins were crowded with senior executives of the company responsible for internal modification and the company responsible for aircraft management and operation.

Gore is not without other troubles. The Microsoft monopoly case is in the federal court of appeal. In the context of the stock market crash, the Internet industry has been divided into two groups. One group is other companies that are afraid that the bad news of Microsoft's spin off will cause a sharp drop in the New York stock market, One is composed of Jim Clark, their Netscape, AOL, Time Warner, sun and other companies that strongly want Microsoft to lose.

"I don't think Mr. deputy commander will say much about it."

Sloan made his own judgment. Microsoft's monopoly has made countless enemies over the years. In addition to the federal court, more than 10 or 20 states in the whole country are also initiating relevant lawsuits. Besides the United States, many countries around the world are also conducting similar lawsuits. Once they have passed the hurdle, there are still countless hurdles behind them. Since Gore has vowed to save the stock market disaster, it's really not good to make any statement.

"It's not what he says, it's what he does." Jim Clark said.

"Don't talk about it, Jim." The "outsiders" not far away from the Song Dynasty deviated, indicating that Jim Clark was not the place to talk.

"Cheer up, aplus!"

Jim Clark patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, "how are you going to refit this place?" Then cut the subject.

Song Ya was not in high spirits and had a lot of worries, because today is April 30, 2000, the last day before the deadline for Silicon Valley tycoons to send their ultimatum to Peter.

Peter ignored his deadline in front of him. I don't know whether he will continue to insist on it this time. He is waiting. He also knows why Jim Clark, who is on a high interest tour, comes here. Jim may not be so friendly to himself tomorrow after one o'clock in the evening.

"Er... If the TV is plasma, the screen will be bigger."

He doesn't plan to spend much money on refitting. It's not to decorate the house. He has to take into account the safety of navigation and other aspects. He can spend tens of millions of dollars casually. He picked out a few places to give advice to the refitting company. "Are these sofa backs marked with the initials of Paul Allen's name? I'm not satisfied with the whole audio system. "

"OK, ok..." the other party carefully wrote down one by one.

"Sorry, I'll take a call." Song Ya saw clearly the number on the mobile phone handed by the agent Hayden, walked through the narrow passage in the cabin, walked into the bedroom and closed the door? What can I do for you

"So that's the one you bought?"

Jennifer Connery, who lives in Los Angeles, just saw the news that song Ya received the plane on ACN. She immediately recalled the experience of taking this huge, slender and beautiful plane back from Venice with Halley. She immediately made up her mind of the tall man standing in front of the RR engine of the plane and throwing a hundred million dollars at the camera, Just for the motivation to keep the witness of my first wonderful experience in my hand

This extremely romantic action accurately hit her girlish heart, while playing with the necklace around her neck, twisting her legs, while holding a sweet voice asked.

"Er... No, another one of the same style. I don't want the one Paul Allen used to transport horses." The man's voice came from the receiver.

"Oh."

It's also the same one. She comforts herself that the former owner, the exterior painting, the year of manufacture and the batch are all the same.

"What have you been up to lately?" Asked the man.

"Auditions, announcements, advertisements... That's all." She replied.

"Let me know if you need to use this plane later, or Hayden."

The man didn't laugh as usual, and didn't even mention the journey back from Venice, "but it's going to take a while, you need to send it for refitting first."

"OK, I will."

She began to make up for the man's cathartic shopping mood after losing a lot of money. While feeling the same thing, she also understood the other party's indifferent attitude, "I won't disturb you first?"

"OK, I'm sorry, Jenny. I'm too busy these days. Shall we meet later?"

"Well, don't be too tired of yourself..." she said goodbye gently.

"Goodbye."

Song ya just hung up the phone, the bell rang again, it was his ex-wife called, "Mimi?"

"Borrow me! Borrow me Maria Kelly yelled over the phone, "I'm flying to Tokyo in a few days!"

"Borrow what?! We haven't started refitting yet! " Song Ya retorts and pulls the phone away.

"Hasn't the refit started yet? Think I don't know about private airplanes! "

"Don't make trouble out of nothing!"

"Who's making trouble out of no reason? You've lost so much money. What's your reason?"

"I lost my own money..."

"Hum!"

Noisy brain pain

And then Mira, "ah, ah! That's very kind of you, honey! " She screamed excitedly on the other end of the phone. She should have seen the news just now.

“……”

Why do I Miss Mao 757 more than Beverly Hills? It's really Mao Mei. Song Ya tricked her into leaving the bed sheet and sitting up to go back to the meeting room.

"Look at this aplus." Jim Clark is reading the latest issue of the nation magazine.

"New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is expected to be selected as Gore's running mate..."

When song Ya saw it, he frowned. Spitzer, who has the nickname of "Wall Street Sheriff", is not liked by the financial industry. He is a disaster that everyone in the business and securities circles is afraid of. Some wall street people even exaggerate to say that "God bless you to get out of Spitzer's office.", The elephant party called it "the donkey Party's tentacle to Wall Street" and "the most dangerous weapon in the donkey Party's armory.".

Spitzer is still one of the few politicians who don't have to rely on financiers. His father is a Jewish real estate and financier in New York, and a small shareholder of Morgan bank. His father helped him out for at least five million dollars in the last election campaign. If a politician can't survive, he can't go back to inherit his family business. So he is so selfless, honest and self disciplined to Wall Street that he is known as "Mr. clean".

If Al Gore chooses this kind of person as his running mate, the previous bail-out pledge is just a fart.

"The elephant party wants to muddy the water?" Song Ya threw the magazine on the conference table.

"The nation is the oldest consecutive weekly magazine in the United States. In any case, it will cause a lot of negative effects when it says this."

Jim Clark doesn't think it will come true either. "But... Before we switch to the running mate of the two party candidates, we have to solve that problem first. Aplus, will there be results today? They both happen to be in Washington

"I know. Let's go back. We have a welcome dinner for you, Jim."

Songya knew that Peter had asked to meet Gore alone. Today, Gore and Peter are in Washington. It's the last day of the deadline and the best time to compromise. That's why Jim Clark said that.

Of course, Jim Clark should not know about Peter's request to meet.

Little Daley's camp doesn't know, but little Daley's younger brother, Gore's campaign manager, can feel something under close observation for a long time, "Mr Deputy Commander, what's the plan for the evening?"

"Yes, with the children."

Gore knew that little Daly's camp was very upset, and he intended to compromise, so he left the White House and got rid of each other.

He did go back with his wife and children, and at the last moment, he was still hesitating.

"The elephant party accused you of choosing Spitzer as your running mate to destroy Wall Street completely."

His wife just finished watching Fox News and asked anxiously, "will it bring trouble to the election campaign?"

"No, I'll clarify with Spitzer tomorrow... How can I choose a New York attorney general as the future deputy commander? This rumor won't last long." Gore replied.

"That partner, would it be Peter?" His wife knew that he had an appointment with Peter tonight and was helping to cover up.

"Don't be kidding. It's impossible."

Choose a governor who is 1.9 meters tall, has an old-fashioned movie star face, has a strong personality and is full of scandal? Gore shook his head, but he was also worried that Peter would offer a price he could not agree to tonight, and it would be impossible to turn around.

Anyway, let's meet each other first! It was very late at the mansion that he made up his mind to go out again.

"Aplus has been calling. That boy is so impatient."

At the same time, Peter's chief of staff and campaign manager also reported: "in the 757 news he received from Paul Allen today, I recognized Jim Clark and some other Silicon Valley executives. If it can't be settled tonight... It's past their ultimatum. "

"If you don't answer, even if the talks are over, aplus has no guts to do anything."

Peter shows great confidence in Eli. He knows that aplus has great pressure from Silicon Valley, and he also has it. After looking at the wristwatch, he and Eli arrive at the appointed place early to wait, but Gore hasn't appeared. It's past the agreed time

He took a deep breath and clenched his fist with his hand in his trouser pocket. His knuckles turned white.

"It's eleven o'clock, aplus." Jim Clark is also watching the time. The reception dinner held for him by a + records headquarters is hot outside, but the atmosphere in aplus's office is quite the opposite. It seems that the air has solidified. Jim Clark puts aside the fresh Oscar best original score golden man and pretends to be relaxed.

"Don't rush, Jim. It's no use pushing me." Songya looks at Ms. Sloan, who shakes her head slightly. It's the sign that Peter still hasn't answered the phone.

"The stock price of your novel website has fallen below one knife? A month later, it will be warned by the NASDAQ Exchange and enter the observation process. If it fails, it will be in danger of being forced to delist. "

Jim Clark went to the window and looked at the brightly lit Littman media headquarters building across the street. "Don't think I'm alarmist. Maybe soon, you will find that all your listed companies have been abandoned by the capital market, one by one until they are destroyed."

"If you are threatening me, I will not accept it. If you intend to vent your anger on me, I will sell all my stocks like Yahoo in the open market and go back to be my star." Song Ya's indifference.

"Hehe, I just feel sorry for you..." Jim Clark closed his mouth.

Sonya and Sloan look at each other. They both look at the wall clock. At 11:15 and 11:30, the minute hand is firmly sliding towards 12:00.

At twelve o'clock, the wall clock rang on time, but the telephone on the desk still didn't move.

Jim Clark suddenly became very upset. He strode to the boss's desk, picked up a Cuban cigar and held it in his mouth. "Aplus, you... Don't blame us... We'll... In the future..." he said as he nodded. He didn't catch fire for a long time.

Song Ya ignored him, holding his temple in his hand and holding his elbow on the table in a daze.

Sloan took out his cell phone and kept dialing Eli's number.

"It's the secret service car!"

Washington, Eli hangs up the call. He sees Gore's deputy commander in front of the motorcade

Peter jerked back.

"Mr Deputy Commander."

The two former allies, who are now running against each other, face to face for the first time after the break-up. Although Gore was deliberately late for a long time, Peter didn't express any dissatisfaction. They said hello to each other and walked far away.

"Peter..." Gore looked into the distance.

"Have you read my speech?" Peter asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's wonderful."

"I haven't written down something I want to say, because it's inconvenient for aplus to see." Peter said.

"Oh?"

"Let's not talk about it. I'm sorry. I've said a lot of things that are not good for you these days." Peter apologized.

"We all understand the election."

"I'm willing to quit, but with some preconditions."

"Please say..."

At two o'clock in the morning, Jim Clark, a silicon valley tycoon, has been lying on the office sofa for a nap. Sonya is still sitting on the chair and hardly moves. Sloan still calls Eli regularly.

"Lingling..."

All of a sudden, the office phone rang. Jim Clark sat up straight for a second. Sloan put down his cell phone and picked up the phone. "Eli?"

"It's Amy..."

It's Amy Adams. "Is he still messing around at dinner? Won't you come back tonight? "

"We're still working..." Sloan hands the microphone to Sonya.

"Ha ha, it seems that you two often work together so late..." Amy was very jealous.

"Come on, I'm busy. Mr. Clark is here, too." Sonya reaches for Jim Clark.

“FXXK！ I don't want to wait any longer. This is aplus! That's the same thing. You chose it yourself

Jim Clark didn't want to testify to the woman for him, so he got up and strode to the door impatiently.

"Wait, Mr. Clark!" Sloan called to him in a shrill voice, "look!"

She picked up her cell phone and there was a text message from Eli on the screen

"Done!"

“FXXK！” Jim Clark looked at it clearly and scolded again. He went back to the sofa and sat down.

"Some champagne?" In fact, Songya was not so afraid, but at last he was able to put down his heart. He walked to the wine cabinet with relief, picked out a good bottle of champagne and opened it slowly.

"What's the matter? It's so late. "

On the other hand, the mayor of Chicago, Daley Jr., wakes up in his sleep when the telephone rings. There comes the voice of kissing his brother, "Gore has compromised with Peter again!"

"What!? What are the conditions? " Little Daly asked angrily, waking up for a moment.

"When Peter withdraws from the election and resigns as governor, Gore agrees to let bygones be bygones and support her wife to run for cook county prosecutor next year, taking over Peter's political legacy!"

“FXXK！ FXXK！ FXXK！”

Little dalyton was so angry that he dropped his landline and scolded him.
