Back to 1995

Chapter 185
The news was reported by a tabloid media, it is hard to tell whether it is true or not, but this plan is indeed that the heifer is on the plane, and Niu Bi is going to the sky!

American Telecom is hardly concealing that it wants to neutralize the idea of ​​America's telecom industry and build a telecom empire.

What excites Wall Street is not whether American Telecom is bragging, but that there is another topic that can be hyped. If everything is calm and stable like an old dog, then how can Wall Street hype.

As for America Telecom's plan, there is too much room for hype. After the news came out, there were Wall Street companies who made serious analyzes and believed that the funds involved in this plan would be at least [-] billion U.S. dollars. The above, even far more than that.

Not only the telecommunications industry, but also equipment manufacturers such as communications and broadband, all because of this news, the stock price jumped sharply, and there were countless people who encouraged this plan for a while.

"America Telecom, which has completed the reorganization of the broadband business unit of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, will become one of the top ten network providers in America!"

The major TV stations and the media are reporting on this news that claims to have changed the telecommunications landscape in America. In addition to reporting that America Telecom has swallowed the elephant and swallowed the broadband department of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, it also reported some other rumors.

A picture appeared on the TV. It was a photo of a party. Song Yang, Eric, Kenneth and others were all listed on it. It was a celebration held by America Telecom last night.

"America Telecom held a grand party," the host of the TV station pointed to the smiling Song Yang and others holding champagne in the photo. "It is reported that before the reorganization of America Telecom, a huge dividends.

The scale of this dividend may exceed US$20 billion. As the major shareholder of America Telecom, Bruno Song's America Global Investment Fund may receive a dividend of more than US$[-] billion.

A reporter consulted the Telephone and Telegraph Group and Enron Corporation about this matter, but both companies refused to answer the matter. However, according to the announcements of the two listed companies, the American Telecom account at the time of the reorganization had a cash flow of less than US$[-] million... ..."

After American Telecom's plan to break through the sky, it caused the entire Internet and telecom industry to shake, and then came the news that Song Yang spent more than one billion dollars alone, and even completed the reorganization of the empty shell of American Telecom .

"Termad, these people from the internet know how to play!"

When he saw the news, Philip Anschutz, the founder of Qwest, couldn't help complaining that he had worked so hard to put Qwest on the market, but in the blink of an eye, he was caught by American Telecom. There are no more.

He felt that his bragging was enough, but compared with America Telecom's move, he was so conservative.

So what covers 75 cities around the world, [-] data centers, etc., is obviously much bigger than what Qwest is bragging about. Just like this, the collectively blind companies on Wall Street are still bragging.

But Philip is also a little envious of Song Yang, who really knows how to play. He feels that the gossip may be true. American Telecom released this big satellite to cover up the influence of Song Yang's huge dividends, to confuse the public and divert For outside attention.

One billion US dollars, Philip couldn't imagine, how many containers would it take to fill it up, but now Song Yang snatched it up.

However, Philip did not mock Song Yang or anything. If he had built the route from Chicago to New York, he would have done more ruthlessly. He would have emptied out the $30 billion in revenue, and then sold the shell company. Slap your ass and leave, this is the American way of playing, squeeze the last drop of oil from the stone!

"In the future, Qwest's main rival will probably be American Telecom!" Qwest President Nazio said while watching the news on TV with a serious face.

Hearing this, Philip had a strange expression on his face. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that American Telecom was bragging, but Nazio actually sent the letter? !
Philip couldn't help laughing, "Nacio, you don't really believe in these plans of American Telecom, do you? If you want to achieve all this within five years, it is impossible for American Telecom to complete it. It can only buy it. How many telcos does that take?"

Nazio glanced at his technical background, and for Philip, who has not really learned how to play on Wall Street, "This matter is not about whether Wall Street believes it or not. , America Telecom's project is just a piece of waste paper, and Wall Street will invest in it!"

Philip's smile froze on his face. He understood what Nazio meant. Wall Street likes hype, and America Telecom's bullshit plan obviously suits their appetite.

The extremely huge plan of investing in American Telecom may not be able to pay back at all, but how could Wall Street not know that the direct failure of American Telecom does not mean that it cannot be recovered from other places.

Once the plan starts, listed companies in the entire industry chain, such as telecommunications companies, communication material manufacturers, and equipment manufacturers, can all start to be hyped. Wall Street can speculate on any sector it wants to speculate on, and play whatever concept it wants. Cutting leeks is not easy at all!

In the end, America Telecom will be sent to the IPO, and the last wave of people will leave after cashing out. In this case, even if it is Qwest, once there is a need, Wall Street will also support America Telecom to acquire Qwest, regardless of how Qwest is touted by Wall Street today. For Xiao Tiantian, when she doesn't like her one day, it will be Mrs. Niu!

Nazio was also a bit depressed. Who would want to, his newly listed company is about to become a leek, "Qwest needs to go public as soon as possible, and then start a new plan. If you don't want to be acquired, Qwest needs to be acquired other companies."

Now Nazio finally understands how America's telecommunications industry is played. He doesn't want to be eaten as a small fish. He has to start eating other small fish.

Even Qwest began to have such an idea, not to mention other telecommunications companies. America Telecom's action was like a catalyst, opening up a large-scale involution scene in the telecommunications industry in America.

"Speed ​​up the acquisition of UUnet, Worldcom has no time to wait any longer!"

In WorldCom, after seeing the news of America Telecom's reorganization, Ebes also said to his subordinates that he planned to take over UUnet before America Telecom.

Like WorldCom, MFS is also mobilizing. President James Crowe is telling the board of MFS impassionedly about the great achievements after the acquisition of UUnet.

"Once the acquisition is completed, MFS will become one of the most important Internet providers in America, UUnet's customers, Microsoft, Oracle, AOL and other companies will all become MFS's customers!"

"The Internet is the future. With the UUnet company, MFS company will get the future. Of course, there are also investors who recognize the MFS stock price!"

The last sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The hearts of many MFS company directors couldn't help but start to favor Crowe.

But it is not without opponents, any company has different voices, let alone MFS company, the opposition immediately said at this time, "If UUnet is not the opponent of American Telecom in the future, this acquisition will be Let MFS fall into the quagmire, American Telecom has more supporters on the Internet than UUnet!"

James Crowe stared at the opponents, and finally sneered, "Then I will give you a famous quote from Bruno Song in your mouth. If you dare not do it because you are afraid of your opponent, then what is the point of MFS's existence?!"

The opponent who was yelled at by Crowe gave Crowe a bitter look, and sat down with a muffled grunt.

"Start voting now, whether to make a wholly-owned acquisition of UUnet!" Crowe directly began to vote. Once the vote is passed, it means that MFS will acquire UUnet no matter what the cost.

Watching the vote passed by the board of directors with overwhelming numbers, James Crow finally showed a smile on his face.

Now the telecommunications industry in America is praising Ebes and the boy from Houston, but who will win the battle? Who will know until the end? Why can’t it be MFS and become the final winner? This is James Crowe thought.

On a golf course in New York, there was laughter at this time. Song Yang, whose golf skills were poor, was hugging Jenny who came from Houston overnight, teaching her how to play golf. Not surprisingly, this shot Going down, the golf ball disappeared, but the big cream cake didn't matter. Looking back, he moved his lips towards Song Yang.

Jenny rushed over overnight. Seeing the women who appeared on the party with Song Yang in the news reports, Jenny, who was bursting with jealousy, flew over immediately under the crowd of someone.

There are many people on the golf course at the moment, besides Haili who came with Jenny, there are also Gallo, Eric, Jain and Kenneth from Enron.

Jenny, who was getting along with Song Yang, saw several other so-called New York socialites on the court, and a few newcomers in Hollywood. When she cast her eyes frequently, she slapped Song Yang hard, and then demonstratively turned to other The woman took a look.

"Song!"

Not far away, Kenneth waved his hand at Song Yang. Song Yang explained to Jenny, and then walked towards Kenneth.

Seeing Song Yang's arrival, Kenneth and Jeff Skilling also let the little models around them leave. These models are quite well-known in the industry, but in front of these two people, they are like cute cats. In general, dare not say a word at all.

"Song, didn't I disturb you?!" Kenneth teased Song Yang.

As soon as the subject changed, Kenneth said to Song Yang, "Song, we will leave New York soon, I want to know, is there a suitable candidate for the president of American Telecom?"
