Back to 1995

Looking at the kind smile on Song Yang's face, as if seeing an old friend, Immelt felt like a sheep meets a wolf, or a sheep delivers the goods to the door by itself!
But at this time, no matter what Immelt thought, he had no way out, so he smiled and shook hands with Song Yang.

No matter what Immelt thinks, Song Yang faces Welch and Immelt with the look of seeing old friends. After all, who would refuse a fat sheep? !
"Song, congratulations to the Bruno family for acquiring Merrill Lynch!"

As soon as Welch came up, he first congratulated Song Yang. General Electric was in his hands, and he played loan lending to perfection. At the beginning, he lent loans to those who wanted to buy General Electric's electrical products. General Electric provided Borrowing to those who want to buy their own products but do not have enough money, this trick has a fatal appeal to those users in the last century, and it also allows General Electric to sell far more products than its peers.

Then General Electric's loans spread to provide loans for fast food restaurants, power plants, old white money groups, etc., and also provided railway tankers, office building leasing, aircraft leasing, etc. General Electric relied on being more daring than banks to lend, Earn back a high-risk high-yield knife!

But even when Welch led General Electric to the top, comparable to Wall Street's top investment bank and the federal giant bank, he failed to buy one of the top five Wall Street investment banks, but now Song Yang has done it, and he knows the meaning too well.

Take an example that is right in front of you. Although the investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed and the investment bank Bear Stearns was swallowed by the price of cabbage, they still have to deal with the federal finances, the Federal Reserve System, and Capitol Hill after they caused such a big thunder. The mess is at least discussed, but General Electric is at the end of its rope. The Cowboys, Paulson, and Capitol Hill have no intention of saving General Electric, that is, they think that General Electric is the one that can carry Abandoned objects!

With Merrill Lynch, plus the bank consortium formed by the Bruno family with PayPal, Merrill Lynch and PayPal together, and the Deutsche Bank investment bank on a chariot, it actually formed another replica of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Sachs. , Bear Stearns and the like are still too big to fail!

Moreover, the combined influence of PayPal Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is far greater than that of Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers Investment Bank alone. Once there is a problem, Capitol Hill and the federal finance side must take care of it. Otherwise, the bombing is still miserable now.

Similarly, as long as PayPal Merrill Lynch does not fall, the Bruno family will not fall. Even if they encounter troubles or troughs, they can make a comeback again. This is the foundation for a real life in America!
As long as you don't play too hard, not to mention being a century-old store for a century, at least PayPal Merrill Lynch will be a half-century-old store, and there is no problem.

Welch chatted with Song Yang, glanced at Immelt, who was silent beside him, and said, "Song, you know, we have a purpose for coming this time, General Electric...needs the support of you and the Bruno family! "

Song Yang had a "surprised" look on his face, as if he was very surprised that Immelt would come to him for help.

"Sorry, I haven't heard the rumors in this regard, and I don't know the current situation of General Electric..."

Looking at Song Yang who opened his eyes and said nonsense, Immelt's face turned pale with anger. In other words, these days, which TV stations are reporting every day that General Electric owes more than 400 billion US dollars in debt, and it's not enough. The news about the bankruptcy of the Internet, ICNC, NBC, CNN, Wall Street Journal and other media affiliated to ICQ should not be too active, and abruptly scare away the banks and consortiums that originally wanted to contact General Electric. up!
But no matter how angry, Immelt knew that it was meaningless to have a verbal dispute at this time, and a penny would be difficult for a hero, not to mention that what he lacked now was not only that penny.

"Song, General Electric is indeed in trouble. The subprime mortgage troubles have caused problems in the capital flow of GE's financial department. The debt and interest also need to be paid..." Immelt still admitted that General Electric was in front of Song Yang. In big trouble.

Looking at Immelt's expression, Song Yang knew that General Electric was really cornered now, so he pondered for a while, and Song Yang looked at Welch and Immelt with an "apology", and then he used the feeling With the same heart, he seemed to be heartbroken for what happened to General Electric and asked the two, "Then I don't know, what do you need me to do for General Electric?!"

"General Electric needs a loan of US$50 billion in the short term, and needs at least US$200 billion in support this year!" Welch said for Immelt.

Song Yang nodded when he heard it, but he didn't answer the follow-up words at all. He gritted his teeth and wanted him to give General Electric more than 200 billion US dollars in cash flow. What a good idea!

Even if Song Yang was asked to pay, Immelt had to be willing to put forward the conditions, otherwise, it would be like Song Yang taking advantage of the fire, is he that kind of person? !

Seeing this, Immelt could only say, "Song, General Electric needs your support. For this, General Electric is willing to pay a sufficient price."

"I would also like to be General Electric, not for anything else, just because of Director Welch and President Immelt, but you know that the situation in America is very bad now, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. The Bruno family also needs to prepare for the cold winter!"

Turning the topic around, Song Yang said to Immelt, "In the short term, the North American Global Investment Foundation can provide General Electric with a sum of 120 billion US dollars in support. If necessary, it can raise a lot for General Electric this year. $350 billion in cash!"

As soon as these words came out, Immelt's spirit was shocked, and at the same time, he was also secretly surprised. The cash flow in Song Yang's hands obviously far exceeded the [-] billion US dollars estimated by the media!

During this period of time, the companies in the Song Yang camp have made big purchases one after another, almost buying and buying all the way, spending US dollars, which has far exceeded 350 billion US dollars. Now Song Yang can still prepare [-] million US dollars for General Electric. Immelt doesn't even know the cash of US$[-] million. How much cash Song Yang still holds in his hands, probably much more than that old man Buffett's cash flow!

Who said that Song Yang is in the Internet technology industry, which serious person in the technology industry hoards so much cash, it is even more outrageous than Buffett, who has always been conservative!

But this is good news for Immelt. If Song Yang can provide General Electric with more than $350 billion in cash, then the crisis of General Electric will basically pass.

But after he was happy, Immelt's heart sank. He knew too well what the phrase "there is no free lunch in the world" meant. Didn't GE lend money just to cut leeks? When you get a beautiful knife, you need to pay, which is even more expensive than getting a beautiful knife!
"What does GE have to pay?" Immelt asked in a deep voice.

"General engine business!"

"That's impossible!"

"Song, this is not allowed!"

Hearing that Song Yang wanted to take away General Electric's engine business, Welch and Immelt were shocked. They came here today and were ready to pay the price, but they were not prepared to sell General Electric completely. Electricity, now the engine is the symbol of General Electric. This is not only a symbol, but also a real money printing machine for General Electric. Few companies in the world can play the aircraft engine business, which is equivalent to a unique business.

Once this is sold, General Electric is basically equivalent to abolishing its martial arts and breaking its arms, and it will be difficult to get back up in the future. Neither Welch nor Immelt dare to bear the charge of selling this business!
Seeing such a big reaction from the two, Song Yang also knew that it would not be so easy to take away General Electric's engine business even in such a desperate situation.

It's just that he didn't get it during the Internet bubble last time, and he didn't get it this time. Song Yang was really unwilling, "It is possible not to buy General Electric's engine business, but Blackwater Security requires to jointly develop new aircraft engines with General Electric!

In the future, if the general aviation business is split and listed separately, Heishui Security will have the priority investment right! "

If you can't buy it, then you can steal it. Hearing this, Immelt can only nod helplessly. If he doesn't agree to this condition, Song Yang obviously won't continue the negotiation with General Electric.

When this promise is made, the rest of the matter is just a bargain, and it has nothing to do with elegance. Song Yang opened his mouth like a lion, wishing to use the 350 billion dollars to swallow up all of General Electric's business except engines. Come on, Immelt and Song Yang will never give up every penny. At this time, every penny is related to a factory or office building of General Electric somewhere in the world. How dare Immelt let!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Welch suddenly thought, did Song Yang think about this for a long time when he hired him as a consultant when he had just retired? The sale of his hand made Welch feel that the world is impermanent.

"For $35 billion, the Bruno family bought General Electric's water plant business!"

"U.S. $210 billion to acquire General Electric's medical biology business!"

"GE sells insurance business to PayPal for $87 billion!"

Listening to Song Yang's numerous treasures for General Electric's properties and quotations one by one, Immelt laughed angrily. He has never heard of General Electric. Yes, just wait for the knife to be cut.

"The medical business, which is also the most important industry of General Electric, is impossible to sell!"

Immelt gritted his teeth and said that the medical business, including the manufacture of nuclear magnetic resonance and other equipment, is the technology under the pressure of GE. A few years ago, GE spent more than 95 billion dollars just to buy a medical imaging manufacturing company in England. Now it only costs 210 billion US dollars to buy the entire General Electric medical department. What is the difference with Mingqian? !

"230 billion U.S. dollars!" Song Yang didn't care if Immelt was angry or not, and offered another price. At this time, is it still a matter of whether Immelt will sell it or not? !

After a long silence, Immelt and Welch had a low-pitched discussion for more than half an hour, and there was a dispute in the middle, which finally subsided.

"Song, for $400 billion, General Electric will package and sell these businesses to the North American Global Investment Fund!"

Immelt gritted his teeth and said this. A year ago, these industries were at least worth more than 1000 billion, and even 2000 billion dollars might not be able to buy them, but now they are all sold at the price of cabbage. , Immelt's heart was bleeding.

After the sale, the entire General Electric has almost completely slimmed down, basically retaining the three core businesses, General Finance, General Aviation, General Energy, which is the previous business of Alstom, nuclear power business, etc. It's been cleaned up here!

"make a deal!"

"I will always support General Electric!" Song Yang stretched out his hand to Immelt.

But Immelt didn't say anything. Looking at Song Yang, he no longer cared about maintaining his dignity, "I don't want to have another chance to meet!"

Seeing Immelt leaving in a huff, Welch, who was watching everything, also sighed, with a bit of despondency, "Song, it's time for me to really rest..."

Seeing this, Song Yang also knew that Welch really couldn't be kept this time, "Director Welch, the North American Global Investment Foundation will hold a dinner for you that suits your status, and will also give you the last payment Consultant pay!"

In any case, to be able to squeeze out so much of General Electric's wool is inseparable from Welch's bridging and matchmaking. Song Yang will never lose a piece of the commission that belongs to him!

The precarious General Electric suddenly issued a statement, announcing that it had raised more than 400 billion dollars, and all the debts and other problems caused by the subprime mortgage crisis had been resolved.

As soon as the news came out, the stock price of General Electric rose sharply, but then came the news that Immelt sold General Electric, and sold the medical care, insurance, water plant and other industries that were bought back with a lot of money in one go. Immediately, there was a lot of scolding, and the title of "the most prodigal professional manager in history" was also pressed on his head, but at this time, Immelt had basically taken care of it, and he was about to start the mess of General Electric. up!
Just when Immelt was criticized, the Bruno Family Foundation announced the establishment of Bruno Medical Group, with the general medical department as the core, plus the private hospitals and pharmaceutical companies acquired over the years to form the Bruno Medical Group In the future, he will engage in research and development of hospitals, medical equipment, and drugs.

Later, more important news came out. The Mayo Clinic, the largest hospital group in America, announced that it had accepted an investment of nearly US$[-] billion from Bruno Medical Corporation. Bruno Medical Corporation became one of the major shareholders of Mayo Clinic!

The acquisition of shares in the Mayo Clinic basically marks that after entering the federal military-industrial complex, the Bruno family has once again joined another behemoth in the United States, the Federal Medical Group.

After taking a stake in the Mayo Clinic, there were many news reports. It was rumored that several major medical and pharmaceutical groups in America, and Bruno Medical would invest or even acquire them, etc. The news spread widely.

In Auburn Hills, Michigan, the once bustling and noisy Motor City seemed extremely quiet at the moment. There were very few people on the street. Visible to the naked eye, one could feel the decline and lifelessness of the city.

Similarly, Chrysler, which is headquartered here, is not much better. At the moment, the staff in the headquarters office of Chrysler are looking at the office of President Tom Stockamp from time to time, or clicking on their mailboxes. Watch for news that Chrysler is bankrupt, or that they've been kicked out of the house.

The entire staff of Chrysler Automobiles knows that this giant, one of the three major American automobiles, is doomed. This year, more than 100 billion dollars of debts need to be repaid by Chrysler. The car cannot be sold, the production line has stopped, and the bank can't borrow a penny, so what is Chrysler waiting for? !

What even worries Chrysler's executives and employees is that according to the current situation, if Chrysler goes bankrupt, they may not even be able to get double the compensation. Work, of course, there is no work for them to do now...

In this extremely depressing atmosphere, Chrysler headquarters suddenly drove into a train line, and then news began to spread wildly within Chrysler that a company wanted to acquire Chrysler, which caused the entire Chrysler to explode immediately.

Not only the Auburn Hills headquarters, but the news spread to Chrysler's offices, dealers, and agents around the world through various social channels such as ICQ group chat and Facebook, and the media in the auto industry also began to report quickly.

"Want to buy Chrysler?!"

Tom Stockamp, ​​the president of Chrysler, was in the office instead. He was the last one to hear the news. After being stunned, his face showed joy. Now that Chrysler is in a situation, being acquired is already the best choice.

"Which company is going to acquire Chrysler, GM, Ford, Volkswagen or Honda, the Italian brand?!" Tom Stockamp asked the assistant who told him the news expectantly.

The assistant had a weird face, "It's a Siebel car!"

Tom Stockamp's smile froze on his face, but before he could react, the board of directors called and asked Stockamp to attend the meeting in the conference room.

Standing at the door of the conference room, Tom Stockamp struggled for a long time. The scene on the lawn in front of the Grand Commander's mansion was still vivid in his memory, but now it made his face burn with pain. Today's victory is over. However, he still needs to face the winner, not only to admit the loss, but also to hand over the company to the opponent. Tom Stockamp only feels that his career as a professional manager may not be complete. I made a joke, but wanted to leave, but couldn't!
When the door of the conference room was pushed open, all the people sitting inside looked at him in unison. Anduran, the president of Siebel, had a mockery in his eyes, as well as the excitement of revenge.

Greg still had a stern face, while Marcus was smiling all over his face. As for the rest of the Siebel executives, they looked at Tom Stockamp with less friendly eyes.

"President Tom Stockamp, ​​there is someone who wants to ask me to ask you, do you still remember the gambling agreement before the Grand Commander's residence?!"

On Tom Stockamp's ass, just as he touched the chair, Greg suddenly asked, making Tom Stockamp's face flushed.

"Mr. Bruno entrusted me with the hope that Chrysler would promise the original gambling agreement and donate [-] million dollars to American charities!"

Marcus also said murderously, making the directors and executives of Chrysler stunned for a while. Donate. Chrysler itself still owes more than 100 billion dollars.

"Before leaving office, the little cowboy commander signed the last document, agreeing to the acquisition of Chrysler Automobile Group by Siebel Motors. The Federal Trade Commission, Capitol Hill, etc., all voted to approve the acquisition!
Siebel Auto completed the acquisition of Chrysler at a price of 33 billion US dollars, and assumed Chrysler's upcoming debts. Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and other automobile brands will all belong to Siebel Auto!

After the completion of the acquisition of Chrysler, Siebel Automobile will have a full range of automobile products including sports cars, fuel vehicles and electric vehicles! "

Just before the little cowboy left office, he did his last thing for the big benefactor, and approved the acquisition of Chrysler, one of the three major American automobile groups, by Siebel Automobile.

This is not just as simple as signing a letter. After signing, Siebel Motors applied for a rescue fund of up to 134 billion U.S. dollars from the federal government. It is called to save Chrysler and exempt tens of thousands of employees under Chrysler from being displaced. , In fact, I want to prostitute Chrysler, the auto giant.

Although in the end the federal finance and the Federal Reserve System did not give so many dollars to Siebel Motors, they also provided more than 65 billion dollars in low-interest loans. Then, Siebel Motors directly announced that it would transfer Chrysler's headquarters and some production lines to Relocated to Houston and other places in Texas, Adrian's Texas municipal government provided Siebel with a huge subsidy of more than 25 billion dollars, as well as state tax exemptions for up to eight years Positive policy!

After the acquisition of Chrysler Motors, Siebel Motors announced another $50 billion investment in General Motors, taking away GM's equity, and some technologies and patents, especially chassis and car engine technologies, and took away GM's Opel, Pontiac, Saab, Hummer and many other brands.

As for Ford, it failed to avoid the fate of being plundered. Siebel Automobile offered Ford an aid price of 75 billion US dollars to help Ford tide over the difficulties, but the price was that Siebel Automobile offered 21 billion US dollars. Taking away multiple brands including Aston Martin, Hummer, Land Rover, Jaguar, etc., Ford was almost plucked out of its wool.

Not to mention what will happen in the future, anyway, Xibel Automobile has become the light of American automobiles overnight, owning the most brands in the entire American and even the global automobile industry, and its automobile technology, patents, and engineers have also made rapid progress overnight, ICNC TV station Highly praised, "Siebel Automobile has saved the American auto industry"!
But then Siebel Automobile announced that it would move the production lines of these brands to Mexico, Italy, Yanjing and other places, except for some of them from Michigan to Houston and Texas. The time has come to an end, and with the panic scene in America, no one can say anything.

"Congratulations to the 47-year-old from Illinois and the birth of the first African-American general in the history of America!"

ICNC TV reported on the almost one-sided general election this year. The senator from Illinois won this year almost without any suspense after winning the nomination battle of the Donkey Party’s largest opponent, the wife of the former President. In the general election, McCain, the leader of the Elephant Party, who was competing with the new leader, still held the cowboy's campaign theory. Naturally, his defeat was disastrous. You know, there is no suspense about the winner.

Seeing the new commander-in-chief preparing to give a victory speech on TV, Adrian, who was sitting next to Song Yang, and the influential figures of the elephant party in Texas, were all expressionless. It was obvious that they had been preparing for four or eight years. Finally, start a new power game with the donkey party.

However, although the Elephant Party lost this time, Song Yang and the Bruno family did not lose again. Standing behind the new commander, the smiling deputy commander was Joshua Butler!

As the biggest help for becoming the commander-in-chief this time, Joshua Butler gave timely help. In the early stage of the general election, he voluntarily gave up the general election and acted as a deputy to the new commander-in-chief, providing him with contacts and resources, and bringing him Song Yang. The super big benefactor, now that the general election has won, Joshua Butler has got his wish and becomes the new vice-commander of America, and he will also be one of the most powerful vice-commanders in history. As long as Joshua Butler is still there, then The Bruno family would be out of trouble!
"Thank you very much, whether it is here or those who failed to arrive at the scene, I clearly remember everyone who supported me and the donkey party. Now I want to thank the most important one, Joshua!"

On TV, the new commander-in-chief delivered a victory speech. He first pointed to Joshua Butler behind him, expressed his gratitude to all American people, and then read out a lot of names, and those who are interested will watch In this list of thanks, there is also the name of Bruno Song!

"Another eight long years!"

After the start of the speech on TV, Song Yang also received several phone calls. The first call was from Joshua Butler, and the second was from the new Chief of Staff. He invited Song Yang to attend the meeting a few days later. The inauguration ceremony of the Grand Commander.

Turning back, Song Yang glanced at the speech on TV, and whispered something to Greg who was sitting beside him.

"But time belongs to the Bruno family, doesn't it?!"

Greg said to Song Yang, and Song Yang smiled when he heard it, then took the wine glass and had a drink with Greg.
