Chapter 563

Shopping malls are like battlefields. The commercial war between Yota communications and at & T is once again uncertain. At & T, which seemed to have won a few days ago, is now in danger. Although Cisco is not without a chance to win this lawsuit, people with clear eyes can see that the purpose of Yota communication is to hold off Cisco from entering the telecom solution market, and at & T, which has already taken Cisco as its preferred technology solution, has also been hindered.

This time, EVA didn't dare to be careless any more. She hired the most luxurious lawyer team in the United States to serve Yota. This time, the cost of lawyers alone has reached hundreds of millions of dollars. At the same time, instead of insisting on holding all the shares of iridium, she began to seek powerful partners.

Under Schwarzman's excellent negotiation ability, Lehman Brothers was the first to choose to join the Yota camp. Because Schwarzman provided Lehman Brothers with a technical report on Yota communication in the field of mobile communication and network communication issued by Boston Consulting, an authoritative consulting company. This report fully reflects that Yota communication technology has formed a solid patent barrier in the field of network communication. Under the protection of these patent barriers, Cisco is unlikely to make a breakthrough in a few years.

However, the initial capital contribution of Lehman Brothers is not large, because they think the final result of the lawsuit and business war is not very clear. So EVA is still on her own for the time being. At this time, Bill Gross, on behalf of the Bank of Columbia, started to sell. Bill Gross's task is simple and clear, that is, to short Motorola's shares and try to make the Motorola shares mortgaged by at & T to those banks fall below the closing line. Because once Motorola's shares fall below the closing line, the group will not hesitate to sell these shares in the market, and at & T's controlling interest will vanish.

Bill Gross quickly put up a huge amount of empty orders in the market. In order to maintain the share price, at & T had to ask for help from its backstage Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Bill gross, as an excellent trader, soon felt the changes in the market. Instead of fighting against Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, he made a little resistance and then retreated. Bill Gross knows that the strength of Bank of Columbia alone can't compete with any one of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, so he plans to use harassment tactics to cooperate with the court's news about the Cisco and Yota lawsuits to sneak attack on Motorola's shares. He will slowly bleed the two giants.

Just as the two groups of people are fighting in the United States, Peterson, who lobbies for Yota in Tokyo, is trying to persuade the president of NTT to change his attitude towards Yota.

"Mr. President, I do not deny that you think that Yota satellite project will pose a threat to your newly built mobile communication network in Japan, but the purpose of iridium project is not to compete for the Japanese market, but to build a solution that can carry out global wireless communication at a low price. If you join the iridium program, your customers will be able to make mobile calls anywhere in the world, even in the oceans, deserts and even Mount Everest. Do you know what that means? This means that your customers will not only be limited in Japan, you can get rid of the limitations of the Japanese market and go to the world. At that time, Europe and South America will become new markets for your company as long as you like. " Peterson patiently explained that NTT wanted to monopolize Japan's domestic market, but in Peterson's view, the situation is still too small. Japan has only 100 million people, so how can it compare with the European and American markets.

"Mr. Peterson, I like your point of view very much, but we just spent a lot of money to buy Yota's whole solution, and we have to spend a lot of money to join iridium program before we recover the cost. We can't explain this matter to the Ministry of general industry," the president of NTT said in embarrassment.

"Mr. President, there is only one chance. I will not give too much comment on whether I am willing to expand my territory in the international market or to operate steadily in the domestic market." Peterson then stood up, NTT's president see quickly to stay. When Peterson saw his actions, he immediately understood that the other party was interested in his words. How many people does Japan have? If it is stuck in the Japanese market, it will never be better than to become a big company in the world.

"Mr. Peterson, please give me some time to write. I will definitely state our position to the Ministry of communications and industry." NTT's president quickly assured.

"Mr. President, I'd like you to tell the officials of the Ministry of general production that if NTT joins the iridium project, we can hand over the satellite production line to a large consumer electronics company in Japan. I personally prefer Sony or Kyocera." Peterson said goodbye to the president of NTT after receiving this sentence. When he got out of NTT's building and got into the car, Peterson finally showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. The president of NTT has been moved now, but according to his meaning, the biggest obstacle is to save production.

It seems that NTT, a state-owned enterprise in Japan, is nothing in the eyes of the province. Peterson knows what kind of existence the province has in Japan. For example, the province of TONGCHAN has the same status as the planned economy committee of the Soviet Union. In the early post-war period of Japan, because the country consumed almost all of its wealth in the war, Japan had only a small amount of foreign exchange to develop its economy. Whoever did not support the foreign exchange had to have a coordinating institution, so the Ministry of general production came into being. With the continuous development of Japan's economy, the position of the Ministry of general production in the Japanese government is also rising. When Peterson was in charge of the U.S. Department of Commerce, in order to let more American goods enter the Japanese market, Peterson had to deal with the Japanese Minister of general production.

NTT's president is not enough to convince the officials of the Ministry of general production, but it doesn't matter. Peterson has more than just this kind of connections in Japan. He has decided what to do next. He plans to visit Sony's President Akio Morita and let the Japanese manufacturing superstar help him. When he was Secretary of Commerce, Peterson took care of Sony. At the beginning, there was a trade friction between the United States and Japan. Peterson originally intended to impose heavy taxes on Japanese electronic products, but at the request of Akio Morita, Peterson didn't do so. This kind of friendship can't be easily reversed, Now it's time for him to repay himself bit by bit.
