MTL - Back To 1995-Chapter 1035 One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers
Chapter 1035 One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers
The manor in San Jose, where celebrities gather and buzz, is the center of San Jose today. After many powerful figures and congressmen left the venue early, the whole manor became even more noisy.
In the study room of the San Jose Manor, it was a different scene. It wasn't too tense, but the atmosphere wasn't too relaxed either.
Facing Bates who issued the ultimatum, Song Yang did not show any anger and dissatisfaction. If this threat was put two years ago, it would definitely have an effect. Threats are nothing less than a catastrophe. Not to mention giant companies like the Telephone and Telegraph Group, even Netscape, Apple, Silicon Valley Venture Capital, etc., can make Song Yang fall short.
But now, when Bates said this, it would be equivalent to farting, but Song Yang basically had no disturbances in his heart...
The current Telephone and Telegraph Group is no longer in its heyday, the state that kept the gentlemen on Capitol Hill awake at night, and American Telecom is no longer that period when facing various telecom giants, they had to secretly set up lines. , but obviously, Betts's mentality has not been fully adjusted.
"President Bates, going to war will not benefit Telephone and Telegraph Group or America Telecom at all, and perhaps it will be even more detrimental to Telephone and Telegraph Group!" Song Yang reminded Bates "tactfully".
Seeing Song Yang's attitude, Bates couldn't help sighing in her heart. She knew that threatening this would be of no use to Song Yang and America Telecom. Although she was just trying, Song Yang's reaction was, Let Betts clearly feel the decline of the Telegraph Group now, and there is no deterrent power anymore!
His face was still sullen, but Betts's attitude was obviously relaxed a bit, "Song, the Telephone and Telegraph Group has always supported you. Since you got up, the Telephone and Telegraph Group has been your supporter, and this is how you reciprocate. From Telephone and Telegraph?"
Hearing that Betes mentioned this, Song Yang did not deny that the Telephone and Telegraph Group did help a lot, double-clicking the company's first advertisement, acting as the backer of American Telecom, selling Bell Labs to Song Yang, etc., although The Telephone and Telegraph Group is not doing charity either, and they received a lot of money for providing these "helps", but in name, they are always helping Song Yang.
"President Betts, I haven't forgotten that, just like Netscape's support for Double-Click Company, Double-Click Company and American Telecom have never forgotten the help provided by Telephone and Telegraph Group!"
As he spoke, Song Yang cast his eyes on Bartley, who met Song Yang's gaze with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.
To be honest, in recent years, the Telephone and Telegraph Group, under the banner of American Telecom "Bole", has already taken advantage of a lot of dollars. I don't know how much the $30,000 advertising fee was at the beginning. doubled!
American Telecom does not have its own telephone business, and the broadband, color ring, mobile network and other services launched are all cooperated with Telephone and Telegraph Group. In the past few years, America Telecom has attracted new users for Telephone and Telegraph Group, far exceeding other competitors Opponents, these new users, all mean money in vain!
And the Telephone and Telegraph Group sold its broadband business and Bell Labs to American Telecom, which is not doing a good deed. These two major businesses, in the hands of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, are money-losing goods. Telecom not only got back a huge amount of US dollars, but also got the equity of America Telecom.
In the past few years, the revenue of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, dare not say a quarter, at least one-sixth, is related to the American Telecom Company, and Betts is also firmly in the position of the president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. I know who is benefited by the cooperation between American Telecom and Telephone and Telegraph Group. If the market is not good, Betts has already packed up and left like his predecessors!
Hearing that Song Yang compared Telephone and Telegraph Group with Netscape, for some reason, Bates always had a bad feeling in his heart. Netscape ended badly, and even the last bit of value was squeezed out. , the brand was sold by Song Yang at a high price to his rival Microsoft...
"Then Song, you should know better what it means to Telephone and Telegraph if America Telecom joins WorldCom's restructuring plan. Telephone and Telegraph cannot tolerate WorldCom standing up again!"
At the beginning, WorldCom was clamoring to become the largest telephone operator in America. Although it failed to succeed, it still put a lot of pressure on the Telephone and Telegraph Group.
Now it’s hard. When Worldcom is lying in the coffin, the Telephone and Telegraph Group must want to nail it quickly. Where is Worldcom allowed to use the dead body to return to life, change the brand and continue to trouble the Telephone and Telegraph Group.
Another point is that Betts is most worried and the reason why he rushed over overnight is that once American Telecom has obtained the telephone business under WorldCom and made up for the last shortcoming, it will continue to be attached to the telephone and telegraph Group, or self-employed? !
Without the "tribute" of American Telecom, Telephone and Telegraph Group will lose a lot of fat, and it will lose a large number of users, which is unbearable for Telephone and Telegraph Group.
Finally survived WorldCom, and ushered in America Telecom, which is far more powerful than WorldCom. Just thinking about it makes the scalp of the Telephone and Telegraph Group board feel numb.
"WorldCom has no chance to stand up again, and American Telecom will not let WorldCom stand up again!"
Song Yang and Bates stared at each other. They didn't pierce the window paper, but they both knew that they were not talking about Shitong at all.
At this time, Bates was angry but helpless, and inexplicably thought of a word "tiger infestation". If he had known that American Telecom was a 25-year-old kid, the Telephone and Telegraph Group would not have allowed this hungry tiger to grow up.
I thought so, but rationally told Betts that even if we do it all over again, it is estimated that Telephone and Telegraph Group will still choose the same decision as before. , just provided all these for the Telephone and Telegraph Group. It seems to be a tiger, so why not the Telephone and Telegraph Group took the initiative to serve the tiger? !
"Song, I still have two more years to serve as president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. After this year ends, I will end my career in the Telephone and Telegraph Group early!"
After a while, Bates suddenly spoke up, which made Song Yang and Bartley on the side stunned.
It is hard to say whether Bates is the best president among the previous presidents of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, but for America Telecom, Bates is definitely a "noble man". Without Bates' series of assists, how could America Telecom develop? so good.
"Song, I hope that the Telephone and Telegraph Group and American Telecom can maintain the "status quo" before I leave!"
To put it bluntly, Bates is about to run away. She has received enough salary, bonuses, and dividends from the Telephone and Telegraph Group in the past few years.
The American telephone market will usher in a new war, which Betts can see clearly. American Telecom and the group of emerging telecom manufacturers are definitely not willing to be reconciled to the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Southwest Bell, Verizon, After the old telecom groups such as Sprint, a fierce price war will definitely break out.
As for who wins and who loses, Bates is too lazy to worry about it. She just needs to make sure that when she leaves, Telephone and Telegraph Group is still a big brother in the telecommunications industry in America. Hell, she's already resigned. Whether the Telegraph Group is dead or not has nothing to do with her. As long as you run fast, the scapegoat won't be able to catch up with her...
The appearance of Bates was really beyond Song Yang's expectations. If it was head-to-head, America Telecom would have to accept the move, but Bates suddenly wanted to retire. As the "benefactor" of America Telecom, I am ashamed to call him Will the group start a war, adding to Bates?
America Telecom and Telephone and Telegraph will fight sooner or later. This is unavoidable. Not only is America Telecom going to enter the telephone market to grab the basic market of Telephone and Telegraph, but also Telephone and Telegraph acquired John Malone's America's largest TV network TCI, while the second largest TV network is ICQ's Comcast TV network.
There can be no two tigers in one mountain, and the American cable television network industry can only have one boss, TCI TV network and Comcast TV network, and it is also very fierce to find one to fight.
Not only because of the TV network, but also in the telecommunications industry, the Telephone and Telegraph Group, which has fallen into a bottleneck period, is also entering the media, film and other industries. It happens to coincide with the ICQ business, and it is also inevitable that there will be a fight.
However, this does not mean that American Telecom and the Telephone and Telegraph Group will definitely become sworn enemies. After the victory is decided, the two sides may still collude to cut leeks. Television networks, media, film industry, etc., could not move at that time, so naturally they started to cooperate.
Betters leaving at this time, I have to say it was a good move, there is a buffer period of one year, and for America Telecom, it can also prepare more chips.
"America Telecom, you can re-sign a two-year agreement with Telephone and Telegraph Group. America Telecom's broadband, mobile network, ring tones and other businesses will still cooperate with Telephone and Telegraph Group!"
It’s been a long time since I asked for a monthly pass, so I have the audacity to ask for a monthly pass, subscription, and recommendation tickets. Please support me!
