"Quite a bit," Philip Bird frowned subconsciously, as if he also found this problem very difficult. Of course, he would not hide anything in front of his political sponsors: "As far as I know, your opponents have convinced about 40 members of the House of Representatives, and the price they paid was just a favor." Motorola, IBM In fact, we don't have to pay any substantial price at all. It's enough to tell those congressmen that we owe them a favor. What is a favor? To put it simply, this time on a matter that has nothing to do with your interests, you voted in favor of my proposal. Then when you need it, we will do it unconditionally as long as it does not affect our interests. Give you a yes vote. Lin Zheng knew very well what this meant, so he immediately asked: "40 members of the House of Representatives?" "I can't rule out that there are others that I don't know." The matter was more serious than he thought. Lin Zheng frowned slightly. , there are currently about 30 supporters on their side, and 20 people have clearly stated that they will abstain by then, which is only 50 people. However, the "Anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance" has found 40 or more than 40 supporters. How many people say they don¡¯t support but don¡¯t oppose it either? "So, we lag behind our competitors by a lot?" "Actually, it's not that much." Philip Bird shrugged: "But if we don't take some strong measures quickly to reverse the situation, I'm afraid the situation will "It will get worse." "In other words, we have to find more allies?" "I'm afraid that's the case, but the price we have to pay will be high." Philip Bird is still very proud of his sponsor. He did not want his sponsor to be greatly affected financially because of this lawsuit. If this happened, it would mean that his sponsor would be able to provide him with much less funds. For This is the worst news for any politician. It¡¯s tricky, very tricky! The news brought by Philip Bird was much worse than Lin Zheng had expected. Lin Zheng stood up and walked slowly in the room. Philip Bird looked at him nervously. He extremely fervently hopes that his sponsor can think of a solution to the problem. If there is anyone in the entire United States who hopes that icq can win more than Philip Bird, he hopes that the "anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance" will propose an "icq monopoly" If you can't pass, it's probably only Philip Bird. "No matter how big the price is, it is smaller than the price of legal proceedings!" Lin Zheng waved his hand vigorously and said to Philip Bird in an irrefutable tone: "Although no one can guarantee whether this lawsuit will be resolved. "But what we have to do is try our best to prevent this lawsuit from entering the legal process." "Of course," Philip Bird nodded in agreement and said deeply: "Litigation is the most annoying thing." Seeing this, many readers will be surprised. Follow the normal procedure. This lawsuit should not be like this. Just like Netscape sued Microsoft for monopoly two years ago, the key to this type of antitrust is not that the victim company should first file a complaint with the Ministry of Justice, and then the Ministry of Justice will based on the information provided by the victim company. Make a preliminary judgment based on the evidence. When the preliminary judgment is that the company being complained against is indeed suspected of monopoly, we will start to organize personnel to investigate the company against us. If the results of the investigation prove that the company being complained against does indeed have monopoly behavior the result is Inevitablethen the next step is for the Ministry of Justice to file a lawsuit with the federal court and finally enter the legal process? Whoever thinks so, I can only say one thing: brother. Are you so naive? Do you really think that the United States is a paradise of freedom and democracy? Just like all business and political confrontations, all efforts are done below the surface. When you see Netscape complaining to the Department of Justice about Microsoft's monopoly on the market, it actually means that the confrontation below the water has come to an end. Maybe after reading this, you still don¡¯t understand, what does this have to do with senators, representatives, the Senate, and the House of Representatives? You, Lin Zheng, are jumping around in the upper and lower houses of Americans. What are you fussing over? ¡°Well, of course it is relevant, after being accused. If the final verdict is in favor of Lianchuang Technology, then it goes without saying, but in fact, everyone knows that such a result will never happen. At this time, icq can appeal. In the end, after many rounds of fighting, the parliament will vote. At this time, do you understand the role of the parliamentarians? They are the final judges! "The Anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance" means to tell Lianchuang Technology, don't let me fight to the death, I can even handle those bastards in Congress. No matter how hard you struggle, you still have a clue? Just bow your head to me and admit defeat honestly, maybe I will be magnanimous and spare your life;And Lianchuang Technology also wants to tell those guys who want to mess with themselves through activities in Congress: Sun Thief! Don't bother thinking about it. I really think I'm easy to bully. Some of you are right, but you don't know Sangualiangzao? More than people, right? Come on, come on, these are our people, if you have the guts, pull out your people and show them off If there are more people gathered here at Lianchuang Technology, "Anti-Lianchuang Technology Hurry" when he sees it, his heart will be like A shudder: I'll wipe it! Lin Zheng, that thief, actually called so many people? It seems I can't beat him? In this case, of course this battle will be impossible. It sounds vulgar to say it, but this is actually the situation. The two sides are now desperately trying to recruit people from the House of Representatives and the Senate. The core purpose is to achieve the goal of "conquering the enemy without fighting." Litigation requires money. , and the bigger the lawyer, the higher the legal fees required. If you don¡¯t spend nine figures in legal fees, do you still mean to say that you are fighting an antitrust lawsuit? I'm going to piss you off! But for those who pay the money, who wouldn¡¯t feel sad when hundreds of millions of dollars are paid to lawyers? Why should I spend such a large amount of money on myself? Why should I give it to lawyers? Not to mention that the money given to lawyers is only a small part of this murder. The hush money and public relations fees given to the media are all given to those who are holding on. Big mouths are waiting for the benefits from politicians who want a piece of meat from you When a lawsuit starts, there are too many places to spend money. Every extra day of this kind of antitrust lawsuit is equivalent to starting a lawsuit. Rushing into the sea with a big truck full of money So although everyone seems to be spending a lot of money now, but compared to a long-lasting antitrust lawsuit that has lasted for several years, these are just small sums. . "So, for us, the top priority is to find more allies?" "Yes." Philip Bird said flatly: "If we can find more allies, this lawsuit will not be fought. After hesitating, Philip Bird made a suggestion: "Sir, I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Ford? If we can get Mr. Ford's help, our chances of winning will be greater." Of course we can ask Bill Ford for help. It was a good idea, but Lin Zheng shook his head: "It's not time to find Bill Ford yet." Philip Bird's eyes suddenly felt a little disappointed. In his opinion, if he could get Bill Ford to his side, , you mean that at least 2 senators and no less than 10 representatives are on your side. If you pay some price to bring Ford's allies to your side, your side's chance of winning will reach 40%. . In such a big fight, a 40% chance of winning is already very high. But unfortunately, this Easterner is a little too stubborn. "Before you have the capital to bargain with Ford Motor Company, it is unwise to cooperate with them." Looking across Philip Bird's face, Lin Zheng knew what Philip Bird was thinking, and he nodded rudely. He said. Philip Bird was suddenly shocked, and then he realized that he had made a very serious mistake: Politicians do not exchange friendships. What they do is always an exchange of interests. Since it is an exchange, one basis is the level and aspect of everyone. The environment is almost the same. Now that his sponsor is in such a difficult situation, which politician would give up such a good opportunity to rob? He didn¡¯t think Ford would miss this opportunity. Philip Bird was smart enough to realize his mistake and immediately apologized to Lin Zheng. Waving his hand, Lin Zheng indicated that he didn't mind. He took two steps, carefully considered and deliberated, and then said: "If, I mean if, if we discover a crisis that no one has discovered, what will happen to us?" How helpful is the current situation? " "Crisis?" Philip Bird's eyes widened immediately. Based on the instinct of a political creature, he was keenly aware that he could use the word "crisis" to describe things. That's definitely not a trivial matter, what is the crisis for politicians? Crisis is their political capital! Realizing this, Philip Bird's breathing quickened: "Sir, are you sure this is a 'crisis'?" Philip Bird bites the word "crisis" very hard! "I'm very sure." Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively. Philip Bird became more and more excited. He rubbed his hands excitedly and whispered: "So, can you tell me what kind of crisis it is? How big is its scope?" "It's a food safety crisis, is it scope it affects the whole world. "Oh God! Oh God!" Philip Bird's heart was so excited that he couldn't bear it anymore. He pressed his hand on his chest and breathed twice: "Please let me take it slow first" "Sir, are you sure you are talking about a food safety crisis that is sweeping the world, right?" "That's right.""Including the United States?" "Including the United States of course." "Has it never been discovered before?" "Yes, I'm sure." "Then we sent it! I can swear to you, we will win! Only With this, we can gain the support of at least 20 senators!¡± (~^~)
