"Yawn --"

"Al, call me at this time..."

Andy bleary eyed, with the help of the morning light to see the clock hanging on the wall, this time around 4:00 a.m., one side of the tone frowned at the mobile phone asked.

"What's the matter, dear?"

"Well? Just a moment. "

Hearing Ivana's inquiry, Andy asked al to wait a moment, then looked at Ivana who opened her bleary eyes, covered the microphone, said softly to her: "nothing, you go to sleep, I'll take a call."

Andy opens the blanket, picks up a robe and puts it on. He holds the cell phone with his face and shoulder, ties the belt of the robe, and quickly steps out of the bedroom. After closing the door, he enters the study, turns on the light, and raises his eyebrow and says, "what's the matter?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you, boss, but it's a bit sudden. I haven't received any news before..." Alverterie's tone was full of laughter and sadness.

"We have just received a notice from FTC that they will investigate your close relationship with apple and Google's board of directors to see if you have violated the antitrust law..."

"Cough..." Andy, who was taking out a bottle of mineral water from the fridge in his study, was choked, coughing, his eyes were wide open, and his face was unbelievable. "Wait a minute, you say again, did I hear you wrong? You mean FTC wants to investigate me? "

"Ha ha, boss, you heard me right. FTC of the Federal Trade Commission has started to investigate the concurrent appointment of apple and Google board members to determine whether they violate the relevant provisions of the anti-monopoly law.

You and Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, and Arthur Vinson, former CEO of Genentech were listed in the investigation list because they are both directors of the board of directors of apple and Google. According to the anti-monopoly law, it is prohibited for one person to hold concurrent positions between companies that are competitors to each other at the same time, because this may slow down the competition between companies. "

"Shetter! FTC is full... Wait, no, there's something wrong with it Andy looks ugly curse a sentence, just want to vent anger, immediately detected a trace of unusual taste.

"Boss, you're right. There's a problem. According to our antitrust experts, the provisions of section 8" joint board "of the Clayton antitrust law are rarely enforced. According to the information we received, it was reported by anonymous insiders that FTC decided to investigate, and has informed Google and apple that it will pay attention to this matter. "

"Fxxk! It's definitely Larry Ellison, a despicable little man, who is the only one who can do such a thing, a shameless informer..." As soon as he heard the original story, Andy didn't even think about it. He directly thought of Larry Ellison, who has a criminal record of whistleblowing and has a grudge with him. It's not Andy's arbitrary, because if someone else reports it, his name will never appear. After all, he is not a director of the board of directors of Google. Although he has a very close relationship with Google and apple, he is not a director of the board of directors of Google It is not enough to control the affairs of the two companies.

So, even if I don't like Google and apple, I won't take Andy Smith with me. But now I take Andy with me in the report. It's definitely the way of this bad old man with a bad stomach of water.

At the beginning, in order to deal with Bill Gates, he could hire commercial spies to turn over the garbage cans, take them back and hire special technicians to find evidence against Microsoft from the garbage. The problem is that this shameless guy, instead of feeling wrong, proudly said, "I'm very satisfied with what I've done."

It's Larry Ellison who is absolutely disgusting. It's not a secret that Google's board of directors wants to take Andy as a director. There are also rumors from time to time that Andy joined Google. Larry Ellison's report won't cause Andy any trouble, but it's absolutely disgusting.

"FTC said that Google and apple began to compete in more and more businesses, such as mobile phones. According to their point of view, if there are three directors working on the boards of two companies at the same time, the two companies have the potential for collusion. "

"Fart! Google has not seen apple as its primary competitor. " Andy heard the reason mentioned by FTC, and he swore directly. To be honest, he was really disgusted by Larry Ellison.

"Don't they want to investigate? Well, let them check. I'll call Larry Page in a moment. I'm going to be a director of Google. Isn't Larry Ellison just trying to disgust me? Well, he's successful. He's pissed me off! "

After hearing some angry words from the boss, alvertriel said with a wry smile: "boss, you don't need to be angry with him. In fact, even if he reports anonymously, if it's not intended by FTC, it's useless for him to report. The reason why FTC is following the trend to investigate the relationship between apple and Google's board of directors is not for you, which only shows that they want to further supervise the valley Song to find out whether the company's dominant position in the field of Internet search and online advertising will hinder market competition.This is mainly because last June, Google and Yahoo signed a search advertising cooperation agreement to allow Google to put ads on Yahoo's website, although the scope of cooperation is limited to the United States and Canada. But it caused many complaints. Microsoft has been persuading U.S. regulators to carry out an antitrust investigation on Google. Then the U.S. Department of justice launched an investigation and plans to sue Google and Yahoo.

In order to avoid a lawsuit with the U.S. Department of justice, Google voluntarily abandoned its advertising cooperation with Yahoo last November. The move also led directly to the resignation of Yang Zhiyuan, the former CEO of Yahoo's co-founder

"It's a joke. Microsoft doesn't clean itself and accuses others. Larry Ellison, an old bastard, helped his rivals." Although Andy was disgusted for a long time, his heart was full of anger, but he could not help sneering at the three IT giants' bullshit.

"Google and apple have long been an alliance against Microsoft's dominance of technology. The two companies compete with Microsoft in many areas, including the operating system and the fast-growing smartphone market. Google's Internet search and other services pose a huge threat to Microsoft.

Interestingly, as soon as the news that FTC is going to investigate the relationship between Google and Apple's board of directors came out, Microsoft's Ballmer called me and asked me to convey his greetings and cooperation intention to you. " After al finished speaking on the phone, he couldn't help chuckling twice.

"Working with Microsoft? Let's hear it. " Andy is also a little curious. To be honest, whether it's apple, Google, Microsoft or Oracle, the relationship between them is absolutely complex. However, these have nothing to do with him. As long as there is interest, even if Larry Ellison is an old bastard, Oracle's stock should be bought or to be bought, or to be held.

"Well, as one of the measures to challenge Google, Microsoft hopes to seek support from WhatsApp and INS, two popular information sharing services around the world. Microsoft is willing to pay a fee to get INS's real-time micro blog data, but he hopes that the data obtained by Microsoft from INS cannot be disclosed to the outside world. "

Andy frowned a little, thought about it, and then said, "it's a good thing. Why don't you make money if you have money? However, real-time micro blog data can be given to them, but our users' personal privacy data is absolutely not good. My company is not Facebook. They can take it if they invest some money."

The two communicate again for a while. Andy hangs up his cell phone, sits on the boss's chair with sharp eyes and ponders for a while, looking at the clock hanging on the wall, half an hour has passed.

"Disgusting me! You are such a bad old man. Since you use such shameless tactics, don't blame me for stinking you. Aren't you the so-called lonely fighter? I told you to be completely alone this time! "

Andy's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth. He picked up the phone, found out the phone of his Internet hitter, shuidi studio, and called.

“。。。 Yes, shameless informer, this hat must be put on Larry Ellison's head. I want to go to the American people and know how bad his character and morality are! "

Andy gave his meaning to waterdrop studio and let them make waves on the Internet. Then he called NBC TV and all his newspapers. Of course, these mainstream media reports, Andy can't just name Larry Ellison, but the hint of avoiding legal liability is enough.

In the United States, the informer is considered to be the most disgraceful of all the bad deeds that human beings have ever done. The informer is shameful, which is the general attitude of the Americans towards the informer.
