Except for California, which is the most populous and third-largest state where Zheru Software is located, which is the stronghold of the Democratic Party, Texas is the second most populous and second-largest state. , the stronghold of the Republican Party, did not join in.

One of the main reasons for this is that Zheru Software's Silicon Hill in Austin, Texas, has the largest investment in the United States after the Silicon Valley in California.

In addition, the governor of Texas, Bushi, once clearly expressed his sympathy for Zheru Software.

Joel Klein turned his gaze to a hanging map of the United States behind him. The red and white colors on it were like the competition during the US presidential election. Each state's team has nothing to do with interests and lobbying.

To be fortunate enough to lead such a magnificent anti-monopoly war, Joel Klein sometimes secretly shudders with excitement.

Joel Klein turned his gaze back to the personal computer on the table, which installed Zheru Software's operating system studios; there was also a handheld computer next to it, which also used the embedded version of studios, with It is definitely a great irony that the function of providing personal data assistants uses the products of Zheru Software, and it is doing a lawsuit against Zheru Software.

However, Joel Klein doesn't have any regrets in his heart for not thinking about Zheru Software's ubiquity. Doesn't it just explain its monopoly? Suing it can be said to be at peace of mind!

At this time, the personal computer workspace, which is the desktop as Microsoft Windows calls it, will pop up a prompt the latest email has arrived in the lower right corner.

It should be colleagues from the Ministry of Justice stationed at Zheru Software's headquarters 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 quickly disappointed by the latest batch of irrelevant emails arriving in his mailbox.

Damn spam. Joel Klein muttered while deleting.

However, there were two e-mails with attachments that Joel Klein took a look at.

One of the emails has the title Job Application and the other has the title i_love_you.

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

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

Having done all this expertly, Joel Klein continued to prepare the relevant documents for the antitrust lawsuit.

Gein, Joel Klein knew very well that his direct opponent was very difficult to deal with.

The chief lawyer of Zheru Software's lawyer team turned out to be George Conway. After the Netscape sued Zheru software company for the monopoly case, he was invited by US President Bill Clinton to deal with a wave of unsettled zipper door lawsuits.

A rich and powerful financial backer like Zheru Software Company,

Of course, it is impossible not to find a satisfactory lead lawyer.

After learning that the U.S. Department of Justice and some federal states jointly sued itself for monopoly, Zheru Software hired David Boyce heavily to serve as its chief lawyer.

This is also a very ironic thing.

You know, David Boyce has received many commissions from the government before. For example, he once participated in the 13-year monopoly prosecution against IBM by the United States Department of Justice and some companies in the computer industry.

Such a senior lawyer who often sided with the government in anti-monopoly litigation, suddenly sided with Zheru Software, which is equivalent to an inner ghost, which not only made the US Department of Justice and 20 federal states entangled The torrential flames together are one of the discouragements, and the more serious point is that they know the government's way of thinking, usual methods, etc. like the back of the palm of their hands.

Take David Boyce's first counterattack after he became the chief lawyer of Zheru Software Co., Ltd. to protest against the court-appointed investigative expert. 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, who presided over the United States of America v. Zheru software monopoly case, was also irritated.

This is the third time Zheru Software has asked for the removal of the court investigators. Thomas Penfield Jackson just refused to make a joke. I tend to think that you are a monopoly. Can the investigators have a position?

As a result, David Boyce, the chief lawyer of Zheru Software, came directly to the door and requested that the court date be postponed. The reason was that this year's Zheru Spring Developers Conference collided with each other in time, except for some Zheru software company witnesses. In addition to surgery, holding a conference and going to court at the same time is really too cumbersome.

Listening to David Boyce, who was sitting across from him, chattering plausibly, Thomas Penfield Jackson, who was a little impatient, moved the mouse absently, opened the e-mail, and found two newly arrived emails titled Job Seeking. and i_love_you email.

After taking a casual glance and opening the attachment, Thomas Penfield-Jackson couldn't bear it and asked back, Why do you have to postpone the court session instead of rescheduling the Philosopher's Spring Developers Conference?

David Boyce said with a wry smile: Today, the Zheru Spring Developers Conference has developed into the most important technical event in the computer industry, with tens of thousands of people participating on the spot. 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 Zheru Spring Developers Conference, imploring your honor to ensure the smooth holding of this Zheru Spring Developers Conference. After all, going back and forth Travel expenses, board and lodging expenses are not a small burden for many start-up technology companies.”

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

David Boyce replied seriously: Zheru Software is safeguarding every interest of itself.

Thomas Penfield-Jackson looked at the calendar helplessly, Then, which day does Zheru Software think is appropriate to set the court date?

David Boyce laughed and said: It's up to the judge to make the decision, as long as it can make time for the Zheru Spring Developers Conference.

Thomas Penfield Jackson moved the pen on the calendar while asking, The 27th of this month, is it okay?

David Boyce looked at the schedule on Fangyuan's handheld computer, nodded and confirmed: April 27, no problem. Thank you, Your Excellency, for your accommodation!

...

On the side of the richest man, there is also a situation analysis map similar to the red and blue contrast map in Joel Klein's office.

While Tang Huan was squinting his eyes and thinking, the secretary reported that Jerry Brown, chairman of the board of directors of the California High Speed ​​Rail Authority, and California Lieutenant Governor Gray Davis came to visit together.

Please. After the richest man ordered, he got up to greet him.

When the three of them sat down, Jerry Brown, who hadn't seen anyone outside, looked around, and saw the map at a glance, and immediately joked with understanding: It seems that Zheru Software is facing a fierce backlash. Monopoly litigation, even the dignified richest man, is also very troublesome!

I seldom ask about specific things anymore, so I don't have any troubles. Tang Huan replied indifferently, and then made a pot of tea himself, It's a coincidence that you are here, I just arrived here with a can of tea that was airlifted from China Mingqian Longjing, let’s taste it together.”

Jerry Brown sniffed the fragrance with his nose and exclaimed: It seems that the reason why Tang's mood is so cheerful is due to the high-quality tea.

The richest man shrugged, At least California is not among the states following the Ministry of Justice. Of course I have to think about it with contentment.

For big figures like them, the subtext and topic orientation of every sentence has long been used to being naturally full of deep meaning.

Seeing Jerry Brown and Gray Davis coming together, Tang Huan could guess that the two came here for the upcoming California governor election this year.

After the end of the Mexican-American War, the United States obtained the land ceded by Mexico and accepted it into the Union on September 9, 1850, becoming what is now the state of California.

At the beginning, the California Constitution stipulated that the governor was elected every two years; in 1862, the approved constitutional amendment increased the term to four years; and in 1990, California Proposition 140 required an amendment to the constitution to limit the term of the governor to no more than two terms.

In fact, those politicians who have served as the governor of California for two terms have basically found another job after working for 8 years.

The most famous of them is Ronald Reagan, who served as the 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, but in the process of seeking a higher level in his political career, the two presidents of the United States and the Senate He failed in all directions, 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 own governor with peace of mind after a soy sauce in the nomination stage of the US presidential election in 1996, but by the end of this year, he had reached two terms and had to abdicate.

It’s quite interesting to say that although California is the stronghold of the Democratic Party, the governor of California has been controlled by the Republicans for a long time. Since the end of the Second Century War, except for Jerry Brown and his father Pat Brown, they have been The Democrats contributed to two eight-year terms, and the rest of the time were republicans serving as the governor of California.

Ever since, after the current California Governor Pete Wilson, a Republican, left after his term expired, the Democratic Party very much hoped 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 is because they have a lot of relationship. When Jerry Brown was the governor of California, Gray Davis was his executive secretary.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Jerry Brown led Gray Davis to Mr. Richest Man to ask for his support to run for the federal governor. Although he did not burn money running for the US president, it also cost a lot of money, often at least tens of millions of dollars.

Take Gray Davis’s biggest candidate for the nomination in the Democratic Party, Alkeki. He once served as the chairman of the board of directors of Northwest Airlines, and was very rich. The U.S. dollar puts Gray Davis at the bottom of the polls.

At this stage, Gray Davis can only use his own experience in governance cannot be bought to fight back.

Sure enough, Jerry Brown followed Tang Huan's words and directly lobbied for Gray Davis: Gray has experience in governing that no other candidate has, and once the election is successful, California will be in the United States of America. The attitude in Zheru Software’s monopoly case will remain unchanged.”

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

Hearing this, Tang Huan nodded slightly in satisfaction.

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

For example, Dan Lengren, the most promising nominee on the Republican side, advocates punishing employers who hire illegal immigrants.

The richest man is very disapproving of this, because it will affect the operation of Silicon Valley. No matter where 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 including Asia. Cheap laborers who may have visa problems.

Seeing that Gray Davis introduced by Jerry Brown was quite satisfactory in every aspect, Tang Huan made a smooth decision and made a clear statement: I wish Gray wins this year's California gubernatorial election.
