Back to 1995

Chapter 184
In the entire conference room, after the reorganization, several companies had debated for a long time about the shares of American Telecom acquired by several companies before finally finalizing it.

Of course, it is only roughly finalized now, and an intentional agreement will be signed. The real contract will not be finalized until the legal departments of several companies make a fuss.

This is not as simple as a few agreements. It also involves the influence of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Enron, and Comerica Bank in America Telecom. After the reorganization is completed, several companies will send personnel to America Telecom to be responsible Personnel from the , risk control, personnel and other departments are not only helping America Telecom, but also "supervising" to prevent Song Yang from engaging in riotous operations in America Telecom.

However, this agreement of intent is also binding. It represents that American Telecom has truly completed its reorganization, and American Telecom, which has obtained the broadband business of Telephone and Telegraph Group, has truly entered the telecommunications industry in America!
After reaching the agreement, Best is most concerned about America Telecom's next move. What Song Yang just said about occupying Silicon Valley, Wall Street, New York, Los Angeles and other major cities is of course what America Telecom will do.

But what Best is most concerned about is whether the Americas will really compete with WorldCom and MFS for UUnet and other companies, as Song Yang said in the media before.

"Song, have you really decided to buy UUnet?" Best asked Song Yang.

Best hoped that Song Yang would be strong enough to fight for the Telephone and Telegraph Group against Worldcom, a little brother who could only follow behind him. If America Telecom wins, the Telephone and Telegraph Group may not be able to You can wake up with a smile in your dreams.

Anyway, Telephone and Telegraph Group is absolutely happy to see the result of American Telecom adding obstacles to rivals such as WorldCom, MFS, and MCI. However, Best is also worried that the acquisition of UUnet, which has been priced at a sky-high price, is really a huge sum of money. American Telecom is going to be overwhelmed!

Jeff Skilling, who always likes to make big moves, said at this time, "Enron supports America Telecom's acquisition of UUnet. America Telecom needs to make everyone aware of America Telecom's existence!"

Jeff Skilling wants to transfer Enron's approach to American Telecom, invest heavily, then go public, keep raising the stock price, and continue to invest in more industries.

Song Yang shook his head. He was in a daze to raise billions of dollars from Wall Street to buy such a thing as UUnet.

"UUnet is very good, but it is not what America Telecom needs. America Telecom now needs broadband and fiber optic lines, not only in America, but also lines in other overseas markets!"

America Telecom is definitely going to go public in the past few years to cash out. If you want those leeks, no, investors to donate generously, you must make America Telecom's data quite eye-catching.

If you want to do this, it is nothing more than how long the broadband line you have, how many users you cover, how big your future revenue will be, etc. Anyway, it seems that American Telecom is a lump of gold, as long as you buy it, you will earn it. Whether it will suddenly explode from a golden lump to a lump in the future is a matter for the future. After all, even a person may have an accident, let alone a company.

Whether it is UUnet, Qwest or other companies, in fact, they do not have their own broadband lines. ground chicken feathers.

"I hope that American Telecom can offer an offer to Wiltel Telecom, cooperate with Wiltel Telecom or even acquire the other party, which will make American Telecom the second largest underground optical fiber in America after Prince Telecom! "

"In addition, America Telecom can cooperate with Prince Telecom, Canada Telecom, Mexico Telecom, France Telecom, Singapore Telecom and other network projects!"

Best and An Ran also came back to their senses. Song Yang didn't seem to want to fight too fiercely with giants such as WorldCom in America. Undoubtedly the cheapest.

Competing with WorldCom, etc., is too much money. Just look at how UUnet was fired in just a few days, and you will know how crazy the telecommunications industry in America is, and the telecommunications industry in overseas markets, Although it is also heating up, it has not yet reached the level of fanaticism in America. America Telecom is now able to buy many companies.

"In addition to investing and acquiring other telecommunications companies, I plan to let American Telecom establish operation centers and chain stores in America and overseas markets."

Song Yang looked at the astonished expressions of everyone in the conference room and said, "The frenzy in the telecommunications industry will fade one day, and American Telecom also needs to have more business!"

"America Telecom's communication chain stores, in addition to handling various businesses of America Telecom and Telephone and Telegraph Group, can also sell routers, network cables, and even computers, mobile phones, VCDs and other electronic products!"

Song Yang is going to learn from domestic mobile. First, he will open hundreds of thousands of stores in America. In case America Telecom loses popularity in the telecommunications industry one day, he will transform himself and become the largest mobile phone retail channel in America. .

In the future, when the era of mobile phones has completely arrived, before the rise of e-commerce, it will be a modern era where channels are king. Which mobile phone brand can have more support from channel sellers, the higher the sales of mobile phones will be.

It would be too wasteful for American Telecom not to be a mobile phone channel provider. These mobile phone channel stores will not be eliminated for at least ten to twenty years, and they can contribute huge cash flow every year. By the way, they can choose those mobile phone brands.

Of course, if America Telecom's mobile phone chain store is established, then Song Yang will not need to worry about sales channels when he enters the mobile phone industry, and it is enough to sell directly in his own store!
Best, Kenneth, Jeff Skilling, Jain and others all stared at Song Yang in a daze. They all knew that Song Yang could play tricks, but it was beyond their ability to do so. expected.

American Telecom is really developing according to Song Yang's plan. No one knows what America Telecom will become in the future, but if America Telecom suddenly announces that it will become the largest electronic retailer in America, or even a department store retailer, I'm afraid Best and the others didn't bring any surprises, Song Yang might really be able to play it!
"This is heavy investment, Song, you have to think about it!" Best reminded Song Yang.

To build so many chain stores, it is necessary to buy stores, lease stores, and recruit store personnel. This will make America Telecom invest a huge amount of money. If these store channels do not develop, or mobile phone sales are sluggish, America Telecom may be delayed collapse.

Of course, if this develops, it will be a different world. Think about it, besides the telecommunications business, it also has the largest mobile phone retail channel in America. I'm afraid it won't be blown up by the Wall Street gang!
"I see!"

Song Yang stretched out his hand and said, anyway, he would definitely not invest his own money. America Telecom would find banks such as Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup to raise money to spend. In this industry, Song Yang is not willing to take risks with such a huge investment. With Wall Street's money Wouldn't it be too wasteful not to burn.

"So," Song Yang got up and said, "America Telecom should reach an agreement with you. America Telecom will start planning and choose a suitable CEO!"

After the door of the hotel meeting room was opened, everyone came out in single file. American Telecom will hold a grand party in New York tonight to celebrate the completion of American Telecom's reorganization.

The news about American Telecom also began to spread quickly. After Best returned to the Telephone and Telegraph Group, and after the resolution of the Telephone and Telegraph Board of Directors, the Telephone and Telegraph Group took the lead in making an announcement. , when it was actually sold, the entire telecommunications industry was in an uproar!
The Telephone and Telegraph Group announced before that it would start cooperation with American Telecom. Even if some people expected all of this, they did not expect it to be so fast.

As the largest giant company in America, it sells cubs so fast that it can be compared to giant pandas drinking milk from Wang cubs.

Moreover, the Telephone and Telegraph Group is really willing. Even WorldCom, Princeton, UUnet, Qwest and other colleagues did not expect that the Telephone and Telegraph Group would kneel so simply.

However, Wall Street seems to be very optimistic about this transaction. When the news was announced, the stock price of Telephone and Telegraph Group, which had been soaring in the past few days, once again achieved great fanfare, and the stock price rose in a straight line!
Wall Street doesn't care if Telephone and Telegraph sold its broadband business or whether it sold the future. They only care about Telephone and Telegraph's slimming down, which will not make much money and invest in huge broadband lines to sell. will be more eye-catching.

After the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Enron also issued an announcement. Enron did not mention how much money it invested in American Telecom, but only kept advocating that Enron's investment in American Telecom meant that it invested in the most popular telecommunications and Internet industries. This is the head of Enron. Kenneth made another great and wise decision. It seems that this 5% stake in American Telecom can make Enron a huge profit.

But the market is so crazy about it. Any value investment is bullshit. The right way to invest in the industry is to brag about it well. The telephone and telegraph group will go up much more!
America Telecom was not idle either, and revealed the plan to a New York tabloid media, America Telecom, on the same day.

"Silicon Valley's own telecommunications company", American Telecom first played such a banner to warm up its entry into the Silicon Valley market, and it was short of saying that if you don't use American Telecom, you are not a member of Silicon Valley!

Then he announced a plan with an extremely large scale. Regardless of whether it can be achieved, Wall Street is full of enthusiasm. American Telecom announced that in the next three to five years, it will establish a global Internet IP center in North America, Europe, and Asia. , built 75 data centers around the world, entered markets in 80 regions, and provided broadband network services to 2000 cities around the world...
