Chapter 954 Snipe and Clam Fight

“It shouldn’t involve too much with the Kenneth family now!”

When Greg saw Song Yang, he whispered in Song Yang’s ear, the scene just now was obviously seen by many caring people.

Song Yang listened to Greg’s words, but shook his head slightly. The people who came here today are not just putting on a show. That Jesse Jackson is doing a show. Song Yang also needs to talk to people and talk to people.

At this time, if you avoid the Kenneth family like snakes and scorpions, leave the relationship too clear, behave too cold-blooded, and sometimes cherish feathers too much, it is not a good thing. , All birds and beasts will be scattered.

After Song Yang, I saw many big names from Houston and Texas present, including the Koch brothers and the presidents of several other major oil groups. The little cowboy did not come in person, but he also sent his chief of staff, Ka The presence of Germany, Senior Advisor Rove and others also expresses an attitude that the little cowboy will not ignore the big money owner.

“Good people should not be slandered, we cannot allow this to happen, the reputation of Mr. Kenneth will never be slandered, bad people will be punished as they should!

”

After bringing a lot of security personnel over to prevent the media and reporters from mixing in, Card made a statement to Linda Lai and the Kenneth family, as well as to the big donors present.

Obviously, Jeff Skilling, who stabbed Kenneth in the back, is probably going to be unlucky this time. The Xiang Party will never let them pass the test so easily. Lord, rest in peace.

“Chuck!”

Song Yang and the current boss of Houston, Chuck Rhodes, shook hands. After Adrian ran for the governorship of Texas, the basic position of Houston was left to his confidant Chuck Rhodes. K Rhodes takes over.

A while later, Adrian also brought people, and rushed over from Austin. Not surprisingly, it was another “sincere” performance, but whether it was Adrian or Card, the performance Every now and then, let his subordinates keep an eye on the group of people at the scene to prevent reporters and media from sneaking in, and take pictures of what they did today.

Acting belongs to acting, but if the acted play is released and seen by all American people, it will not be a good thing.

After dealing with all the big shots present, Adrian came to Song Yang.

Song Yang and Adrian have already known each other, so they don’t need so much politeness. When they arrived at Song Yang’s side, they asked Chuck Rhodes directly, “What’s going on with Kenneth?!”

This question was also asked by Adrian on behalf of Song Yang. If an accident happened to a big benefactor today, would other big benefactors also have accidents in the future?

Adrian, Card, and Chuck Rhodes came today to reassure Song Yang and the Koch brothers.

Chuck Rhodes shook his head, “My people have been involved since last night, and found nothing abnormal. Except for the Kenneth family, no other outsiders have entered or left this manor!”

Chuck Rhodes said very cryptically that this was not done by the big figures of the elephant party. Maybe it was really bad luck for Kenneth. Jeff Skilling’s backstab made him die in anger, of course , It is not ruled out that it is an inner ghost in the Kenneth family.

Adrian looked towards Song Yang, Song Yang shook his head, he didn’t want to investigate this matter further, he had already expressed his position, even if he found something, so what.

“I think Jeff Skilling, Fastow and the others can be punished as they should!”

When Song Yang said this, he looked at Chuck Rhodes. He was the Attorney General of Houston before he became the boss of Houston City Council. He had enough influence on the Federal Prosecutor’s Office and the Houston Federal Court!

“As Card said just now, bad guys should be punished!”

Chuck Rhodes, who seems to always have a straight face, also said at this time, with a slight smile on his face at this time, but with his face, no matter what, it feels a bit hideous.

When he came out of Kenneth’s suburban manor, Song Yang saw another familiar figure, and Todd, the president of Microsoft’s public relations, also came here.

Todd was following Card, and seemed to be talking about something. When he saw Song Yang, he just nodded his head, and then got into a conversation with Card and Rove.

When Song Yang saw Todd, he felt that today was really a monster. People from all walks of life gathered in Houston. I don’t know how many media are reporting the news about Houston today.

Adrian and Song Yang got into the same car, Chuck Rhodes also followed, reorganized a large convoy, and rushed towards a manor belonging to the Bruno family not far from here.

This suburban manor now basically belongs to the wealthy community in Houston. As the old nest of the Bruno family, there will naturally be a lot of real estate purchased in Houston.

“There are really a lot of people coming to Houston today!”

Sitting in the car, Song Yang smiled at Adrian and said, Song Yang and Adrian are not that particular, the whole of America knows the relationship between the two, Song Yang is the big sponsor behind Adrian, this Adrian never hid a little bit.

Adrian also said directly, “Todd is here for the Microsoft antitrust case. Microsoft wants Texas to reach a settlement with Microsoft!”

After Microsoft gave up the position of president from Bill Gates, it finally began to change completely. It eased the relationship with various opponents and took out 750 million US dollars to compete with AOL Time Warner, the parent company of Netscape Browser. A reconciliation was reached, that is, the war between Microsoft and Netscape finally ended with Microsoft’s “admitting defeat”, but the loser did not take advantage, and the winner was already half dead, and few users were using Netscape at all. browser.

This reconciliation is considered by the outside world to be a landmark event in Microsoft’s antitrust case. Microsoft did not need to be demolished, but it began to blow quietly.

Now Microsoft is lobbying everywhere in America, and wants to reach a state-by-state settlement. Texas has the role of a weather vane and is the leader of the western states. After Texas is settled, the next western states , Even states like the party side, Microsoft can relax a lot.

“Song, now is an opportunity!”

Adrian said to Song Yang playfully, whether to reconcile with Microsoft or not has little impact on Adrian. What Microsoft can offer is just a dollar knife. Could it be that Song Yang can’t offer it? !

The state municipalities and state legislators in other federal states may still be a little bit moved by the dollar that Microsoft offered, but Adrian didn’t care. He sold this opportunity to determine Microsoft’s fate to a few hundred million dollars. Song Yang, Adrian might get more from Song Yang.

“Microsoft cannot fall. Even if Texas does not reconcile with Microsoft, Microsoft will not be split up. The Federal Securities Commission, Communications Commission, and Federal Department of Justice will not allow Microsoft to fall again at this time!”

Song Yang shook his head and said, if Microsoft can be dismantled this time, even if there is only a chance, Song Yang will take up the banner of the anti-Microsoft alliance again without hesitation, and have a life-and-death battle with Microsoft.

But the current market situation is already obvious. The Internet is on the verge of dying out. Silicon Valley and the American technology industry have also been smashed to death. Living.

Knowing that Microsoft is unlikely to fall, Song Yang is too lazy to argue with Microsoft at this time. Song Yang’s side is also a big mess. Fighting with Microsoft, I’m afraid it’s really cheap for other giant companies. It’s not worth the candle.

Arriving at the Bruno family’s manor, Song Yang walked in with Adrian, Greck, Chuck Rhodes and others.

Gleck turned on the TV directly, and the live camera just happened to appear in front of the Houston District Court. Countless media and reporters were guarding there with long guns and short cannons. The reporters kept reporting on the spot.

Chuck Rhodes glanced at the time, went in and out from time to time, made several phone calls, and came back for the last time, and said to Song Yang and others, “The verdict is out!”

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, there was a shaking on the TV, and then the reporter from Houston TV station began to report excitedly.

“The largest financial fraud case in the history of America, the trial just ended, Jeff Skilling was indicted on 34 counts, including fraud, conspiracy, insider trading, disrupting the market, manipulating stock prices and many other counts, will be fined 210 million U.S. dollars, the most in American history, and will receive a 275-year sentence, with no bail within 45 years…”
