Back To 1995: Chapter 832 Thunder and Rain
Chapter 832 Thunder, Rain and Dew
Song Yang saw Immelt who was proud of the spring breeze in Immelt's villa. Immelt at this time was full of the demeanor of a big man to the naked eye.
General Electric's board of directors has passed a resolution to make Immelt the new president. Welch chose to retire early. It was originally planned to work until next year, but with the hope of acquiring Honeywell Group, it was completely dashed. , so that Welch's career final battle ended without a hitch.
In addition, Immelt was playing well again, and he rebuilt a General Electric, teamed up with Song Yang, and created a giant company with a market value of more than 300 billion US dollars.
Welch chose to retire bravely, and did not continue to stay at GE and compete with Immelt for something. For his sake, he didn't need those things to prove himself!
From this point of view, Welch is far superior to Disney Emperor Eisner and Sprint President Bill Asri. Compared with these power-loving characters, Welch has a good start and a good end.
When GE was at a low point, he took over GE and used his entire career to bring GE to the throne of the world's largest market capitalization group, allowing GE to enter the unprecedented $400 billion club.
After creating an empire, and choosing a new successor for the empire, he chose to leave at the peak of his career. Welch's career has been considered a complete success, and he can be regarded as a model of professional managers in America. , will also be recorded in the MBA textbooks of major business schools around the world.
In order to show respect for Welch, Immelt's inaugural dinner was held after Welch's retirement dinner.
Although Immelt has been waiting for the position of the head of General Electric for more than ten years, he knows that he can't break the character set he has been building for a few days now.
The more it gets to this point, the more Immelt knows, the more he has to keep his composure, and he can't be too urgent and impatient, lest the outside world spread out that he drove Welch away, although In fact, it is indeed the GE board of directors who loves the new and hates the old, and secretly made some small moves, and hopes that Immelt will come to power soon and bring them more returns!
As the overall situation has been decided, Immelt has been reclusive for the past few days, and even the media is rarely seen. If it wasn't for Song Yang's arrival, if other people came to visit, Immelt would be behind closed doors to thank guests.
ICQ's stock price has risen sharply, which makes Immelt in a good mood. GE is the nominal majority shareholder of ICQ. He has just taken over as the head of GE. His gift is normal!
"Bernard Ebbs probably won't be able to sleep these days!"
Immelt's mansion is quite large, even if it is not as big as Bill Gates' mansion, but indoor golf, gardens, swimming pools, etc., are all available.
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Immelt with a cigar swung a golf ball. In front of Song Yang, Immelt was obviously relaxed and did not show the same look he had in front of the media. This was the truth. Immelt is by no means as "easy-going" as the media reported, and he has no temper or anything.
On the contrary, Immelt, whether it is a city or a wrist, is top-notch. Of course, he is never soft at critical moments. If you don’t believe it, ask the dismantled French Alston, how he feels!
"Song, GE is on your side. Fighting WorldCom is our common goal. WorldCom can't buy Sprint, I promise you!"
Immelt put down the cigar, took a sip of wine, and said with a bit of domineering, "Maybe, that guy Bernard Ebbes will be unlucky, I promise, he will not look for Song you again. Trouble on the side!"
The attack on WorldCom is also for Immelt himself. After all, General Electric is the parent company of ICQ, and America Telecom is a brand under ICQ.
However, listening to Immelt's words, Song Yang's heart froze slightly. Immelt's words seemed to be casual, but they seemed to mean something, as if he was sure that Bernard Ebbs was going to be unlucky.
Song Yang doesn't doubt Immelt's methods. From GE's targeting of Alstom, he can tell that Immelt is really ruthless, he can do anything, attack his opponent, and he won't leave any room at all!
"Song, there may be some public opinion about GE and me recently, and there will always be people who are unwilling to fail and unwilling to admit the truth.
I hope ICQ still has you here to support me! "
When it was determined that Immelt would become the new head of GE, the Nine Dragons that Welch had brought up before, several other candidates for the head of General Electric, General Energy President Nadelli, and General Motors Group President Na McKenna The Nigerians immediately submitted their resignation letters and chose to leave GE.
Based on the qualifications, abilities, and connections of Nardelli, McNerney, and others, they left GE and went to other groups. They also held the position of president. Compared with being angry under Immelt, who was a competitor, then It must be stronger!
But this has also caused, in a short period of time, GE will lose a group of executives, and it is spread out, just like Immelt can't accommodate Nadelli and others, it is not very good for Immelt's reputation.
Song Yang nodded when he heard this, showing a regretful expression, "I have to say, Nadelli and the others made a wrong decision!"
This is what he said, but Song Yang's eyes cast a slight glance at Immelt. He felt that the departure of Nadelli and others might not have been what Immelt wanted. If Corporal Lixian kept him, he would Nardelli, McNerney and others would not run away all at once, but Immelt did nothing, just quietly watched them leave GE.
Nadelli and others are not inferior to Immelt in terms of qualifications, and their abilities are also top-notch. Staying at GE will eventually be one of Immelt's threats. His prestige is no better than Welch, and he may not be able to hold back. Nadelli and the others will take their place, and one day Immelt will be replaced. Now let Nadeli and others leave, and Immelt will be relieved of a threat!
Today, I can do surgery on Nadelli and others. Song Yang feels that, with Immelt's character and skill, when his position and power are completely stabilized, he may also do surgery on ICQ management.
But that day, it is hard to say whether it will come or not. When the Internet crashed, everything was a cloud. What was the point of him fighting for the control of ICQ.
Before he became the head of General Electric, Immelt had good luck, but in the future, it is hard to say whether he has such good luck. Think about it, he just took over General Electric this year, and he is about to face the collapse of the Internet. Then the twin towers were bombed, and then the subprime mortgage crisis. Immelt is hard to say in the history of the nine most heads of General Electric, but he is definitely the most unlucky one...
"Song, when I take over GE, I hope to complete the merger of ICQ and Bronfman Group!"
At this time, Immelt was still ambitious, and was implementing his own big merger plan, and he would not consider accidents at all. Even if he could think of risks, who would have thought that an industry could be completely overturned and rebuilt? !
