Chapter 1115 The Lion's Big Opening

Ertian promised Serge Chuluk, Mike Chigley and others that after the transaction is completed, they will still be big shots, with huge salaries, bonuses, and dividends, and their status will not be affected!

"When the merger is completed, the Alcatel Group's brand, LOGO, etc. will only belong to Alcatel mobile phones. In this world, there will only be one Alcatel from now on, and that is Alcatel mobile phones!"

Ertian's first sentence made Chuluk feel his blood pressure soar, but in the end he endured it abruptly, winners and losers, history is always like this, didn't France realize it during World War II, and now Alcatel If the group loses, it is natural to follow this principle, the winner takes all, the loser... who cares.

Ertian glanced at the expressions of the people in the meeting room, thinking that in the future, the Alcatel logo only belongs to Alcatel mobile phones, even if it is just a false name, it will not bring much substantial benefits to Alcatel mobile phones, but still Let Ertian feel extremely excited.

"Alcatel's brand, owned by Alcatel Mobile.

Alcatel Group's telecommunications equipment business technology and patents will be delisted after merging with America Telecom, and will be listed again under the brand of America Telecom in the future!
The two jointly form the new board of directors, and Alcatel Group can get more than two seats on the new board of directors.

American Telecom will acquire more than 87% of the equity of the merged company, and American Telecom will pay $98 billion in compensation to the original Alcatel Group board of directors in the form of equity plus cash! "

It is said to be a merger, but in fact, the plan proposed by Elthian is to acquire, and spend nearly 100 billion US dollars to buy most of the shares of Alcatel Group. You must know that two years ago, Alcatel Group was profitable. Although the profit is not high, and the Internet crashed, the performance has declined, but it is still profitable.

Chuluk heard that Ertian's plan was to make his temples twitch violently. He knew that Ertian would bite like a lion, but he didn't expect that he would bite so hard, even harder than General Electric!

"Ertian, you are robbing!"

Chuluk resisted the urge to turn his face, and gritted his teeth at Ertian, saying, he doesn't know, how dare Ertian say it, even if he cut leeks and wool, it wouldn't be so cruel. It really hurts to treat the Alcatel Group like a fat sheep, the kind that has a waist without anesthesia.

Over the years, Alcatel mobile phone companies, large and small, have acquired countless times. Of course, they have suffered losses. He also has experience. When it comes to acquisitions, Ertian has much more experience than Chuluk!

"I've said it before, I'm saving the Alcatel Group. The criminals who robbed won't give 100 billion US dollars!"

Elthian said indifferently, he came here mainly for revenge, and he didn't care about being arrogant and domineering. Anyway, even if he bought it, he wouldn't work with Chuluk, so what if he offended , what can he do with Ertian? !
"Don't mention the current situation of the Alcatel Group." He glanced at the time again, and it is less than seven hours before tomorrow. "Maybe tomorrow, there will be negative news related to the Alcatel Group..."

First, it threatened Chuluk again. This is the current weakness of the Alcatel Group, so it is natural to pinch it hard, "In the telecommunications equipment industry, Alcatel Group is also facing Cisco, Lucent, Nokia, Ericsson, and Asia Telecom. Business competition!

Even without this incident, if Alcatel Group falls behind in the 3G communication market, what will happen? I don’t need to say more. If this merger is rejected, American Telecom will no longer have any cooperation with Alcatel Group! "

Serge Chuluk and the executives of the Alcatel Group were silent for a while. They wanted to refute, but they didn't know where to start.

Alcatel Group is indeed facing a crisis, and it is a huge crisis. Ericsson sold the 3G business to Alcatel Mobile and America Telecom, which means that it has basically withdrawn from the 3G communication competition. The 3G technology of the entire old Europe basically relies on Nokia. up.

Nokia will have a telecommunications equipment business of its own, and its scale is not much worse than that of Alcatel Group. Nokia will give orders to Alcatel Group without making money.

Without Nokia, America Telecom, another leader in the 3G communication era, refused to cooperate with Alcatel Group, so what will happen to Alcatel Group? !

"The cooperation between Alcatel Group and American Telecom is beneficial to both parties. Alcatel Group can make up for the telecommunications equipment of American Telecom, and American Telecom can also hand over the order to Alcatel Group. This is beneficial to both parties!"

Long before coming, Ertian and the acquisition team had made sufficient preparations. With mental calculations and unintentional, coupled with the right time, place and people, they naturally broke through Chuluk's defense line from the very beginning.

Chuluk knew that he had no advantage on his side now, and he would definitely not be able to beat Ertian's side when he talked about those big principles, so Chuluk started to talk about other things.

"Even if the Alcatel Group is willing to accept the merger, it needs the consent of the French Grand Commander and members of the economic department..."

Hearing that Chuluk moved out these characters, Ertian also said directly, "Monteble and the others are in America now. I don't think they will reject the "merger" of the two companies!"

Chuluk was silent for a while, Alstom has been sold, and it seems that it is not unacceptable to sell another Alcatel Group...

"call"

Chuluk was breathing heavily, "If the merger is completed, Alcatel Mobile and America Telecom need to ensure that the Alcatel Group's employees in France, especially the production plants in Viasso and Lannion, cannot be abolished.

In addition, the research and development department of the Alcatel Group must be retained, and research and development in the field of cutting-edge technology will still be carried out in the future! "

At the last moment, Serge Chuluk still wanted to leave something for France. The brand can be lost, but those laboratories and R&D departments in France will not be lost. Staff, leave some high-tech things for France.

"This is my last condition!"

Seeing Ertian frown, Chuluk added another sentence, making Ertian silent for a while.

"I can't guarantee that American Telecom will never let French employees leave, but within three years, American Telecom will not let those people leave!"

If it is said that the employees of France will never be abolished, then it is called a fool. Ertian can make a three-year promise, which is already the limit. No matter how much, Ertian himself may not believe it.

"make a deal!"

Chuluk finally said this with difficulty, and then his whole body seemed to be discouraged, and he was no longer energetic.

Mike Chigley and the others also looked puzzled at this time. From now on, they will no longer be employees of the Alcatel Group, but will become American Telecom. The Alcatel brand also belongs to Alcatel mobile phones only. !

Chigley was in a trance, he could imagine that when the news was announced tomorrow, Ertian would become a god in the first battle, and the Alcatel mobile phone would also become synonymous with "legend". A second-rate mobile phone brand has brought it to the top of the mobile phone industry, and then turned back and acquired the former parent company that abandoned it. What kind of script is used for this? !

It's not just Chuluk, Chigley and the others, the rest of the people also look not much better, just like someone who always thought that he was the protagonist, but finally found out that his experience as the protagonist was to serve as a supporting role for others. If the mentality does not collapse on the spot, it is considered that the mental quality is excellent.

Alstom's acquisition by General Electric is undoubtedly big news in the global economy and financial industry. America has snatched France's industrial pearl. This is what everyone is talking about.

Early the next morning, the world's mainstream economic and financial channels, financial newspapers, fortune magazines, etc. were basically reporting on this incident. Immelt, who had fallen from the altar before, was about to be taken back to the altar again. .

In the morning, Immelt walked downstairs refreshed, ate the breakfast his servant had prepared for him, opened the newspaper delivered to him, and after a few glances, he saw that there were no unexpected reports on it. Melt couldn't help but chuckle.

And at this moment, Immelt couldn't help raising his head because of the sound coming from the TV.

"French Alcatel Group suddenly issued a statement today to complete the merger with American Telecom. Alcatel Group was "merged" at a price of 98 billion US dollars!"
