Except for the state of California, the most populous and third-largest state where Zheru Software is located, Texas, the second most populous and second-largest state, the Democratic Party’s base camp did not join in. , The headquarters of the Republican Party, did not join in either.

One of the main reasons for this is that Zheru Software’s “Silicon Hill” in Austin, Texas, has a nationwide scale of investment second only to the “Silicon Valley” of California.

In addition, the Governor of Texas, Xiao Bu Shi, once clearly expressed his sympathy for Zheru Software.

Joel Klein turned his gaze to a hanging map of the United States on his back. The red and white colors on it were like the battles during the US presidential election. Each state’s squadrons were indistinguishable from interests and lobbying.

For the privilege of leading such a magnificent antitrust war, Joel Klein sometimes trembles with excitement.

Joel Klein turned his gaze back to the personal computer on the desk, where the operating system studios of Zheru Software Company were installed; there was also a handheld computer next to it, which also adopted the embedded version of the studios. The function of providing personal data assistants uses the products of Zheru Software Company, and the lawsuit of Zheru Software Company is definitely regarded as a great irony.

However, Joel Klein didn’t have any regrets not to go to the ubiquity of Zheru Software. Doesn’t it just show its monopoly? It can be said to be at ease!

At this time, the personal computer workspace, which is the desktop as Microsoft Windows calls it, pops up in the lower right corner of the prompt “A newest e-mail arrives”.

It should be a colleague from the Ministry of Justice stationed at the headquarters of the Philosopher Software Company on the west coast, who sorted out new information from the intercepted files.

Thinking of this, Joel Klein couldn’t help but feel refreshed.

Unfortunately, Joel Clay was soon disappointed that the latest batch of unrelated emails arrived in the mailbox.

“Damn spam.” Joel Klein muttered as he deleted it.

However, Joel Klein took a look at the two emails with attachments.

One of the emails has the title “Job Search” and the other email has the title “i_love_you”.

Joel Klein thought that the former was a job applicant who made the wrong resume, and the latter was a greeting from a relative or friend.

But after quickly browsing the email content and clicking on the attachments, Joel Klein immediately determined that they were indeed irrelevant to him, so he deleted them to the trash can.

After doing all this skillfully, Joel Klein continued to prepare relevant documents for the antitrust lawsuit.

Gein, Joel Klein knows that his direct opponent is very difficult to deal with.

The chief lawyer of the lawyer team of Zheru Software Company was originally George Conway. After Netscape’s previous lawsuit against Zheru Software Co., Ltd. ended, he was asked by US President Bill Clinton to deal with a wave of unsettled “zipper door” lawsuits.

Of course, it is impossible to find a satisfactory chief lawyer for a wealthy financial owner like Zheru Software.

After learning that the U.S. Department of Justice and some federal states had joined forces to sue their own monopoly, Zheru Software Co. paid a lot of money to invite David Boyce to serve as the chief attorney for its side.

This is also a very ironic thing.

You know, David Boyce has accepted more commissions from the government before. For example, he once participated in a 13-year monopoly lawsuit against ibm by some companies in the United States Department of Justice and the computer industry.

Such a senior lawyer who often stands on the government government side in antitrust litigation suddenly stands on the side of Philosopher Software, which is equivalent to an “inner ghost”, not only has the US Department of Justice and 20 federal states entangled. Too weather flames together are one of the discouragements, and the more serious point is that they have a good understanding of the government’s way of thinking, habitual methods, and so on.

Take David Boyce’s first counterattack after becoming the chief attorney of the Zheru Software Company as a protest against the investigating expert appointed by the court. He had a prejudice against the Zheru Software Company and asked Joel Clay to replace him. Because of a big headache.

…

In the office of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the District of Columbia, Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson in charge of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation monopoly case is also annoyed.

It is the third time that Zheru Software has requested the removal of forensic investigators. Thomas Penfield Jackson just refused to make a joke. I tend to believe that you are a monopoly. Can the investigating experts have any position?

As a result, David Boyce, the chief lawyer of Zheru Software, came to the door directly, requesting that the trial date be delayed. The reason was that it had collided with this year’s Spring Developer Conference of Zheru, except for some witnesses of Zheru Software. In addition to the surgery, it was too much trouble to fight a lawsuit while holding a meeting.

Listening to David Boyce sitting on the opposite side, nagging plausibly, a somewhat impatient Thomas Penfield Jackson absent-mindedly moved his mouse, opened the e-mail box, and found two new letters titled “Jobs”. And “i_love_you” email.

After casually glanced at it and opened the attachment, Thomas Penfield Jackson couldn’t bear it and asked, “Why do you have to postpone the court time instead of rescheduling the philosopher’s spring developer conference?”

David Boyce smiled bitterly: “To this day, the Zheru Spring Developer Conference has developed into the most important technology event in the computer industry, where tens of thousands of people come to the site to participate in the most important technical event. It is too difficult to reschedule.”

Speaking of this, David Boyce took out another document, “This is a petition from some companies participating in the Spring Developer Conference of Zheru, and I implore the judge to ensure the smooth convening of this Spring Developers Conference of Zheru. After all, round trip Travel expenses and board and lodging expenses are not a small burden for many technology companies in the start-up period.”

After browsing the so-called petition, Thomas Penfield-Jackson sighed, “Zheru Software is entangled in these details. What’s the point besides wasting time?”

David Boyce replied seriously: “Zheru Software Company is safeguarding every right of its own.”

Thomas Penfield Jackson reluctantly flipped through the calendar. “So, what day does Philosopher Software think it is appropriate to set the court time?”

David Boyce laughed and said: “It’s all up to the judge to make the decision, as long as you can make time for the Zheru Spring Developer Conference.”

The pen in Thomas Penfield Jackson’s hand moved on the calendar while asking, “It’s the 27th of this month, right?”

David Boyce looked at the calendar of the PDA and nodded his head to confirm: “April 27th, there is no problem. Thank you for your accommodating Judge!”

…

On the side of the richest man, there is also a situation analysis picture similar to the red and blue contrast map in Joel Klein’s office. The golden horse on the east coast seems to be rushing murderously.

Tang Huanzheng squinted his eyes and thought, and the secretary reported that Jerry Brown, Chairman of the California High Speed ​​Rail Administration, and California Lieutenant Governor Gray Davis, came to visit together.

“Please.” After the richest man gave an order, he got up to greet him.

When the three of them sat down, Jerry Brown, who hadn’t seen anything else, looked around and saw the map at a glance. He immediately joked, “It seems that the menacing reaction that Zheru Software is facing Monopoly litigation, even the dignified richest man, is very troublesome!”

“I have rarely asked about specific things, and I can’t talk about any troubles.” Tang Huan replied indifferently, and then made a pot of tea personally, “You are here by coincidence, I just arrived here with a can of air shipped from China. Longjing before Ming Dynasty, try it together.”

Jerry Brown lifted his nose and smelled the fragrance, and exclaimed: “It seems that the reason why Tang’s mood can be kept so cheerful is that this fine tea has a lot of credit.”

The richest man shrugged, “At least California. Of course I am not in the ranks of the states following the Department of Justice and I have to think contentedly.”

For big people like them, the subtext and topic orientation of every sentence have long been accustomed to being naturally full of meaning.

Seeing Jerry Brown and Gray Davis coming together, Tang Huan could guess that they were all in the Three Treasures for the California governor election that was about to begin this year.

After the US-Mexico War ended, the United States obtained the land ceded by Mexico and accepted it into the Union on September 9, 1850, and became the current state of California.

At the beginning, the California Constitution stipulated that the governor should be elected every two years; in 1862, the approved constitutional amendment increased the term of office to four years; then in 1990, California Proposition 140 required amendments to the constitution to limit the governor’s term of office to no more than Two terms.

In fact, those politicians who have served as governor of California for two terms have basically found another job after eight years.

The most famous among them was Ronald Reagan, who served as Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, and finally became the president of the United States for eight years.

Jerry Brown also served as governor for two terms from 1975 to 1983 after Ronald Reagan. However, in the process of seeking a higher political career, the President of the United States and the Senate of Congress All directions failed, so he bid farewell to the political arena and devoted himself to the California high-speed rail.

The current Governor of California, Pete Wilson, continued to be his governor with peace of mind after playing soy sauce during the nomination stage of the 1996 US presidential election. However, by the end of this year, he has reached two terms and must abdicate.

It’s interesting to say that although California is the base camp of the Democratic Party, the governor of California has been dominated by Republicans for a long time. Since the end of the Second Century War, except for Jerry Brown and his father Pat Brown, they are In addition to the two eight-year term of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party has served as the governor of California for the rest of the time.

Therefore, after the current California Governor Pete Wilson, a Republican, left after his tenure expires, the Democratic Party hopes to be able to taste the taste of California Governor after a lapse of more than ten years.

Obviously, Gray Davis, the current Lieutenant Governor of California, has obvious advantages.

As for why Jerry Brown and Gray Davis came together, it was because the two of them had a lot of connections. During Jerry Brown’s tenure as Governor of California, Gray Davis was his executive secretary.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Jerry Brown led Gray Davis and came to the richest man to ask for support in running for federal governor. Although he did not run for the president of the United States and burned money , it was also expensive, often at least. Reached tens of millions of dollars.

Take Gray Davis’s largest contender for the Democratic Party’s nomination, Alkequi, who once served as the chairman of Northwest Airlines’ board of directors and became very rich. He prepared 40 million yuan for this campaign at his own expense. The dollar made Gray Davis the bottom of the approval rating.

At this stage, Gray Davis can only use “his own ruling experience cannot be bought” to fight back.

Sure enough, Jerry Brown followed Tang Huan’s words and directly helped Gray Davis in the lobby, saying: “Gray’s ruling experience is not available to all other candidates, and once the campaign is successful, California will file a lawsuit in the United States of America. The attitude of Zheru Software in the monopoly case will remain unchanged.”

The richest man looked at Gray Davis with interest, and the other party immediately stated: “Zheru Software Corporation plays an important role in the economic development of California, which is irreplaceable. Of course, California must stand on the side of Zheru Software.”

Hearing this, Tang Huan nodded slightly with satisfaction.

There are many people running for the governor of California, but it is not so easy to find a satisfactory spokesperson for interests.

For example, Dan Langren, the most promising nominee from the Republican Party, advocates punishing employers who hire illegal immigrants.

The richest man is very disapproving of this, because this move will affect the operation of Silicon Valley wherever there is exploitation, the high-tech industry is no exception, it is nothing more than the higher salary of programmers, and these people are often from Asia, including those in Asia. “Cheap laborers” who may have visa problems.

Seeing that Gray Davis introduced by Jerry Brown was quite agreeable in all aspects, Tang Huan made the decision smoothly and clearly stated: “I wish Gray will win this year’s California governor election.”
