Silicon Valley

Chapter 64 Construction of Submarine Optical Fiber

Bernard Ebers is really gone, and the worl company is almost on the verge of bankruptcy!

In this short sale, Worl lost 450 million, and the company will face huge debts. Although worl company is also a member of AOL, but at the same time they are competitors of each other, worl company suffered a great disaster, sprint, BBN, ANS and other companies have been considering how to swallow worl company!

Although worl's market capitalization exceeds $5 billion, it is only market capitalization after all. The company has no money and owes huge debts like a building will collapse. Unless someone gives it a chance to relax, it will really go bankrupt and liquidate!

But will anyone give it a chance to soothe it?

Bernard Ebers was desperately looking for funds, but no one was willing to help worl at this time. Allies are deliberately trying to swallow it, and the bank will not lend a helping hand to the worl whose financial situation is very bad!

The internal division of the AOL alliance has begun, and an annexation drama of brothers breaking the wall is being staged!

...

...

At the time of the AOL infighting, Cisco came to five unexpected guests - Rowan, Director of the US Telecommunications Industry Authority, and French Ambassador Clark Longfellow and their entourage!

Yesterday at three o'clock in the afternoon, a strange phone call came to Cisco, saying that there would be a US government official to visit Cisco tomorrow morning! However, I didn't expect that the people who came were actually Rowan, director of the Telecommunications Industry Administration, and Clark Longfellow, the French ambassador! At the moment when they revealed their identities, John Chambers' heart suddenly throbbed and accelerated rapidly!

Between the lights and flint, John Chambers thought of a possibility!

"Could it be that France and the United States are going to lay a submarine optical fiber network?!!" John Chambers carefully accompanied them to visit Cisco while holding back his excitement. At the same time, he strongly recommended Cisco's products, technologies, worldNet network, and hinted that , Cisco absolutely has the ability to lay submarine fiber! ! !

"Our world network under Cisco has the fastest development speed in the United States, and the optical fiber technology is also the best in the United States! We have the most first-class optical fiber company CommScope, whether it is terrestrial optical fiber or submarine optical fiber, the technology is very mature. 60% of the fiber is from CommScope!!!”

Rowan glanced meaningfully at John Chambers and smiled at the French ambassador: "Clark, what do you think of Cisco?"

"It's great, it's worthy of being the overlord in the field of network equipment in the United States!!!" Clark Longfellow laughed.

"Thank you for the praise from Ambassador Clark, we Cisco will continue to forge ahead and make continuous progress!" John Chambers smiled.

Half an hour later, Rowan and Clark Longfellow bid farewell to Cisco. Although they did not say at all what the purpose of visiting Cisco was, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it must be for some major event, otherwise the director of the U.S. Telecommunications Industry Authority and the French ambassador would all be bored and come here for no reason. Is Cisco fooling around?

After Rowan and Clark left, John Chambers hurriedly called Henry to inform him of the incident.

"Chairman, in my opinion, the United States and France are planning to lay a submarine network optical fiber, and are now looking for suitable partners. I think we must win this cooperation!!!" John Chambers firmly said .

Henry was a little excited. Once the network fiber was laid in France, and then spread from France to European countries, the global Internet will soon be formed!

"That's right, we must win this cooperation!!!" Henry nodded heavily, "Immediately start the public relations work, it's time for Cisco to show his muscles!"

The US government has been infiltrated by Cisco. As the overlord of network equipment, the relationship with the military and the government is very close. Cisco's contacts are far more terrifying than ordinary people think. Because Cisco has done a lot of covert things for the military and the government, especially network security, eavesdropping and the like. Of course, these things will never be told to outsiders, and they will never be admitted if they are discovered. At most, they are considered technical problems! This is not black belly, this is survival!

Cisco took action, and many important officials in the United States began to help Cisco lobbying, and Cisco itself is powerful, and it is logical to lobby!

In fact, the U.S. government was most interested in MCI's help in laying submarine optical fibers in the United States and France at the beginning, but MCI is now in a mess, and it is difficult to protect itself. Can it be expected to develop submarine optical fibers? So, I took the next step and found Cisco. After some investigations, the Director of the US Telecommunications Industry Administration, Rowan, and the French Ambassador, Clark Longfellow, were extremely satisfied with Cisco, and then added the lobbying work of major government officials!

Cisco's acceptance of this cooperation is almost a certainty!

Within a week, Rowan and Clark came to Cisco again. This time, it was a very formal negotiation and cooperation with Cisco!

John Chambers led them to the conference room.

Rowan, director of the Telecommunications Industry Administration, said first: "Mr. Chambers, you must have understood our purpose! The United States and France are planning to lay a submarine optical fiber, so they need to find a company to cooperate with. After some investigation and comparison, We think Cisco is the right company!"

"Cisco is very happy to cooperate, this is our honor!!!" John Chambers nodded excitedly.

"This submarine optical fiber is jointly invested by France and the United States, so both parties have the right to operate! And the US government means that it is ready to hand over the operation rights of the US side to Cisco management!" Rowan added simply.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and John asked, "What conditions does Cisco have to pay?"

"Cisco needs to pay 90% of the profit from the operation of the submarine optical network every year!" Rowan said with a smile.

John Chambers secretly said: "90% is turned over, and the remaining 10% is equivalent to the labor fee for Cisco! However, it is better than nothing! In addition, Cisco can expand the brand's influence and influence by taking this list. Popularity, other countries want to lay optical fibers and access the Internet, the first thing that comes to mind must be Cisco!"

"No problem, we agree!" John Chambers nodded.

"As for the cost of laying submarine optical fibers, we hope that Cisco can give you a budget as soon as possible, and also write down the approximate completion date of the project!"

John Chambers smiled and said, "A week ago, we sent ships to explore across the ocean and are looking for the best route. I believe it won't be long before we, Cisco, can give you an answer!"

"That's good!!!" Rowan and Clark were very satisfied with this.

"Then let's sign a letter of intent?" John Chambers said.

Rowan and Clark both nodded, "No problem!" (rolling around for support!!! Vote!!!)
