Back To 1995: Chapter 837 Thirty years in Hexi

  Chapter 837 Thirty Years Hexi

  Based on General Electric’s current volume of more than 400 billion U.S. dollars, raising more than 30 billion U.S. dollars is not a big deal, and it has not transferred too many industries.

It sounds scary, 30 to 40 billion dollars in cash, but more of it is based on GE's reputation and equity as collateral, issuing a large amount of new shares, bonds, and borrowing from the bank to let GM Electric raised $35 billion in cash!

Whether it is banks, Wall Street institutions, overseas consortiums, or leeks, they have never worried that General Electric will not pay the bills. It is really Welch who has taken General Electric too high in the past few decades. , the annual revenue is hundreds of billions of dollars, and the profit is also frighteningly high. Even if Immelt screwed up, with GE's ability to make money, it is not a problem to pay back the money!

As a result, the stocks and bonds raised by General Electric have been identified as "high-quality assets", and all parties are snapping them up. From the day of Immelt's inauguration dinner, this large sum of money has already All the funds were raised, and most of them were robbed by banks, Wall Street institutions, overseas foundations, consortiums, etc., and those who were worth less than 10 million did not get much chips.

  Seeing that Immelt raised $35 billion in cash as soon as he took office, the outside world can't help but speculate about what kind of big project Immelt wants to engage in.

Now the board of directors of General Electric, as well as various investors, are looking forward to Immelt. Welch is obviously cheap and old. He bought a Honeywell company. After so long, he didn’t get it. On the other hand On Immelt's side, he managed to create a giant company with a market value of 300 to 400 billion US dollars while talking and laughing, so that the various shareholders of General Electric made a lot of money.

Now all parties in General Electric are looking forward to the next three fires that Immelt will burn. Everyone believes that Immelt will lead General Electric to a new height, far beyond the Welch era. the height of!

Song Yang saw that General Electric raised such a large sum of money in less than a week, and felt the strength of the world's largest company. , Immelt is about to deliver this beautiful knife to Song Yang himself.

In a quiet manor in Connecticut, there are armed Blackwater security guards patrolling outside the manor from time to time. This manor is located in a large forest cover, quite a bit of a hut without cars Ma Xuan's artistic conception.

This is also a real estate in Songyang, which was calculated when Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and General Electric bought the shares of Songyang ICQ. Now there are dozens of states in America, Song Yang dare not say that there are real estates, but each The capital of the state must have real estate belonging to the North American Global Investment Fund.

Now the North American Global Investment Foundation has set up a special housing management company to manage these real estates all over the world. The ones with excellent geographical location and good environment will be reserved for Song Yang and Bruno family members to live on vacation. , the rest, will choose to package or rent for sale.

  Irene curled up lazily in Song Yang's arms. Here, she doesn't have to worry about being photographed by the media and reporters, causing a scandal or even a scandal that shocked Wall Street, America, and the technology circle.

It's not that rumors about the scandal between Irene and Song Yang have never been heard, even a few years ago, it was speculated and reported by the tabloids, but there are some things, the report of the gossip, and it was captured on the spot. It's a completely different matter.

   Lying in Song Yang's arms, Irene glanced at the newspaper in Song Yang's hands, knowing that Immelt raised such a large sum of money to acquire the equity in Song Yang's hands.

Looking at the various cumbersome documents sent by ICQ's management, Irene was a little discouraged. She knew that with Immelt's character, after becoming the absolute majority shareholder of ICQ, she would break with Irene sooner or later, or, The job of president of ICQ must also be taken away.

   "I will resign as president of ICQ before the third quarter results come out this year!"

  After dealing with a few emails, Irene got up suddenly, and said directly to Song Yang regardless of the beauty in front of her.

Irene is also a gamble. According to the data collected from various sources, the performance of ICQ this year will not be much better. If Immelt and General Electric really want to take away her ICQ CEO position, they will definitely get the performance talk about things.

  Instead of being kicked out, Irene decided to take the lead in resigning herself. Anyway, she will never be blamed for the decline in ICQ's performance, or even ruin ICQ. Then Irene's career is basically over!

Irene decided to follow Song Yang's strategy, take retreat as the advance, leave ICQ first, and when the time is right, she will use Song Yang's support to return to ICQ. Let’s do it again, and bloodbath ICQ’s board of directors and management!

   Song Yang looked at the resolute Irene, and knew that she had already made up her mind. With Irene's professionalism and personality, it was basically a desperate decision to make such a decision.

With a laugh, Song Yang looked at Irene and said, "It's good to take a break, North American Global Investment Foundation is preparing to invest in a new company, Google, to enter the search industry. If you are interested, you can enter this company! "

  With Irene's qualifications, it is more than enough to be in charge of Google. Irene's current name, connections, and influence are not a few blocks away from Eric Schmidt? !

Irene is now the "Queen of the Internet", with an extremely glamorous resume and a lot of titles on her head. She has worked in two Internet companies, Double Click and ICQ, and served as the secretary-general of the American Internet Advertising Association. One of the directors, looking at the entire Silicon Valley and the technology industry, is qualified to be on an equal footing with Microsoft's Bill Gates, AOL's Case, IBM's president, Cisco, Intel and other CEOs.

  If you parachute to Google, it’s like Bill Gates personally becoming the president of an Internet start-up company, regardless of how much success Bill Gates has left, who would dare to oppose this Internet company? !

It’s the same with Irene. Google, including the two founders, can only raise their hands to welcome it. How can I object? Once Irene announces this decision, regardless of the Internet market, Google will take care of it. To become a new star in Silicon Valley in an instant, this is a proper dimensionality reduction!

"Google?"

  Hearing that Song Yang is rare and wants to invest in a new Internet company, Irene became interested. The current ICQ is full of obstacles, so Irene can't help but miss the old days.

After making a decision, Irene's mentality changed a bit when she looked at the wrangling and power struggle documents again. If General Electric, Comcast, and Goldman Sachs' Wall Street want more rights, then Irene will give them. After breaking ICQ, Irene didn't have much to worry about. Anyway, she had decided to leave the mess to Immelt.

  But if Irene still has a chance to return to ICQ, then all these people who have been tossing around today are all on the blacklist, and they will all be kicked out by Irene!

Compared with Welch's retirement dinner a few days ago, today's celebration of Immelt's ascension to the head of General Electric is obviously much bigger, no matter from the lineup of guests who came to congratulate, or General Electric's response was obviously more than one step higher.

The person in charge of the Grand Commander's Office took a special plane early and arrived in Connecticut with a fanfare and a handwritten letter from the Grand Commander and his wife. Except for the fact that the Grand Commander and his wife did not come in person, the rest of the cards were already full. It can be seen that For General Electric and Immelt's attention.

  The congressmen on Capitol Hill, the governors and state legislators of the American states, especially those states that want General Electric to move its headquarters, are particularly active, and they all sent a huge lineup this time.

  Not to mention Connecticut, today the state still has city TV stations and media, and the most important thing is to report on Immelt's appointment.

On Wall Street, there are countless major banks, investment banks, and institutions. There is no institution on Wall Street that wants to offend General Electric. Today can be said to be the brightest moment of General Electric in the past ten years. A pinnacle of Walter's career!

Today's limelight belongs to Immelt. Anyone with a little brain knows this, so the people present, whether they are high-ranking congressmen or the presidents of large groups, are basically like Song Yang and Irene Similarly, he hurried into the banquet hall without making any shocking remarks.

  But when Song Yang and Irene were about to enter the banquet hall, a person came and broke everything.

  I saw a large-scale convoy driving to the front of the hotel in the banquet hall, and then a person, surrounded by many entourages, walked towards the hotel with great momentum.
