Back to 1995

Chapter 186

Kenneth and Jeff Skilling came to New York this time not only to attend the shareholders meeting of American Telecom, but also to New York to find investors for Enron.

In the past two years, Enron has frequently made big moves, which often cost tens of billions of dollars in investment. No matter how rich and powerful Enron is, it is impossible to spend so much cash. It is imperative to find banks and institutions on Wall Street to pay the bill. few things.

Hearing what Kenneth said, Song Yang glanced at the two of them, shook his head and said with a smile, "The Telephone and Telegraph Group has recommended candidates, but I haven't decided yet!"

Kenneth nodded, "For America Telecom, the CEO position is really important, but Song, I can provide America Telecom with a consultant, maybe America Telecom can use it."

Song Yang cast a questioning look at Kenneth, and Jeff Skilling on the side said, "Kravis, Henry Kravis, the true king of leveraged mergers and acquisitions on Wall Street, the founder of KKR Group, if America Telecom can Let Kravis's KKR Group act as an investment advisor, I can't think of any company that can refuse the acquisition of American Telecom!"

Various thoughts flashed through Song Yang's mind, and then he glanced at Kenneth and Jeff Skilling. They would definitely recommend Kravis and KKR Group to Song Yang as consultants for no reason.

Kravis, the first M&A king on Wall Street, is a godfather who interprets leveraged buyouts to an artistic level. Since his debut, he has acquired countless companies, the most famous of which is the acquisition of the American tobacco giant Nabisco.

KKR Group issued junk bonds, leveraged US$20 billion and leveraged US$310 billion, defeated competitors such as American Express, Morgan, and UBS, and acquired Nabisco. That battle made Kravis a god in one fell swoop. This incident was also written by Wall Street reporters as the best-selling documentary of the year "Barbarians at the Gate".

Three years ago, it was remade into a Hollywood movie, making Kravis the world's most eye-catching M&A master.

But when the two of them suddenly mentioned Kravis, Song Yang had to think about it.

"Of course, if you can invite Kravis, it's the luck of American Telecom!" Suppressing his thoughts, Song Yang said to the two.

Kenneth heard that Song Yang would contact the KKR Group, so he said no more, "Song, we hope that American Telecom can go public smoothly. This is the expectation of all of us."

Seeing Song Yang leaving, Jeff Skilling asked Kenneth, "Do you think he will do what we want?!"

The reason why Kenneth recommended KKR Group to Song Yang is of course not for no reason. Anran has also reached a lot of cooperation with KKR Group this time, including the latter’s fundraising for Anran Group. Investment consultants are nothing more than hares and rabbits, by the way.

"Of course!"

Kenneth seemed very confident, "Song is a smart man, we all understand this."

Hearing this, both of them laughed, and then Jeff Skilling said, "Now the New York media is beginning to refer to the companies owned by Enron, Comerica Bank, American Telecom, and Song as the Houston Gang and the Houston Consortium. !"

"Houston Consortium?!" Kenneth heard the nickname, glanced at Song Yang's figure, turned and left, "I like this title, but I hope it is Enron's Houston Consortium."

On the golf course, Jenny and Haili were swinging clubs, and a group of models called by Eric were also playing around on the golf course.

Eric, who was finally about to complete the American telecommunications line, also relaxed, with a model on his left and right sides, looking at Gallo with extremely greedy eyes.

Seeing Song Yang approaching, Eric left the two models working in the RICK club, sat up, and asked Song Yang, "What did Kenneth and the others say?"

Eric knows which side he should stand on. Compared with the shareholders of American Telecom, the only thing Eric can do is to stand in the same camp as Song Yang and firmly follow Song Yang's side.

"Recommended an investment advisor for America Telecom."

Song Yang said something, then turned his head to look at Eric, "Wait for a line from America Telecom, RICK Group can act!"

Hearing this, Eric finally came to his senses. Before, Song Yang mentioned that RICK should become the favorite of women and the paradise of men. In addition, the investment in American Telecom would make Eric RICK's listing plan was directly suspended.

Right now, Eric has received huge profits from American Telecom, so he naturally began to care about RICK's affairs.

"Song, can RICK do it now?!"

Eric asked enthusiastically. Song Yang had already talked to Eric before. The first step in RICK's transformation is to get a strong cash flow business. Victoria's Secret has become RICK's first target.

Song Yang thought for a while, then nodded, "As soon as the American telecom line is completed, you will deal with RICK's affairs, and I will help you here. This year RICK will take down the Victoria's Secret brand and hold a Victoria's Secret event." Daxiu, put Victoria's Secret on the Super Bowl next year, and completely raise the reputation of Victoria's Secret!"

Eric let out a cry, and then showed a man who knows how to look. When the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and the Super Bowl are combined, the most eye-catching big show in the world collides with the most hormonal sports, Eric can't He knew what kind of sparks would be hit, but he knew that this topic and the ratings were estimated to explode.

At this time, Eric wanted to know how Song Yang's brain came up with such a wicked way, no, it was such a creative promotion method!
In the hotel room, after tossing for a while, Song Yang lifted the quilt, and Jenny climbed up from below, then got out of bed and went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth.

Song Yang stroked Jenny's long hair, and looked down at Jenny who was curled up in his arms like a cat, "Maybe, we need to buy a real estate in New York?"

Upon hearing this, Jenny raised her head and looked at Song Yang with bright eyes, "In New York?!"

Song Yang nodded, "Not only New York, but Los Angeles also needs it. You're going to Hollywood in the future!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Jenny was silent for a moment, then called Song Yang loudly, and then kissed Song Yang like a chicken pecking at rice. Hollywood actresses are still renting apartments, but Jenny has not yet Enter Hollywood, but already have their own mansion.

It is impossible for Song Yang to save the huge dividends from American Telecom all the time, and he must invest them. However, Song Yang also needs to hoard some real estate, especially in New York. Has been staying in the hotel.

Buying now, whether it is in America, Europe or China, basically you will not lose money, it is just a matter of earning more and earning less.

"Tomorrow you go to see the house with Gallo and Hailey, and I will let Marcus follow!"

America Telecom has just finished its reorganization, and there are too many things that Song Yang needs to be busy with. Song Yang grabs Jenny who has slipped into the quilt and said, but Jenny just snorted. Nila came up and covered the two of them again with the quilt.

In the early morning of the next day, he and Haili went shopping on Fifth Avenue again. In the afternoon, after Marcus rushed to New York to see Jenny, who went to see a house in New York, Song Yang also started to get busy.

The first thing to do, of course, is to choose a suitable leader for America Telecom. America Telecom has made a lot of noise, but many Wall Street professional managers have recommended themselves, and they all want to rely on America Telecom. Make a big fortune again, but those famous professional managers, the best professional managers, etc., are also very cautious and did not choose America Telecom lightly.

The Telephone and Telegraph Group also recommended a few people, basically all of them were from the Telephone and Telegraph Group, but one can imagine the style of professional managers in the relatively conservative Telephone and Telegraph Group these years.

It's not that these people are useless. Those who can be selected by the Telegraph Group must at least pass the test.

It may be possible to pass the test, but it may not be suitable for America Telecom. What America Telecom needs now is a fierce general who can lead America Telecom to conquer the city. , such a character is hard to find.

Song Yang had a candidate in his mind, someone who was by no means weaker than Bernard Ebes, but Song Yang had no idea whether he could invite him or not.

Song Yang, who was sitting in the office building of the newly established New York Operations Center of American Telecom, thought for a while before calling.

At Wang An's company headquarters, Qiao Tusi, who was processing documents, heard the phone ringing and was surprised when he saw Song Yang's number, but he still connected the phone.

"President Jotus!"

The person Song Yang called was Jotus, who Song Yang wanted to lure America Telecom to be the president.

In terms of management ability, Joe Tus can rebuild Wang An Company from a pile of ruins. This ability to turn the tide is basically unique on Wall Street. If so, then Song Yang is absolutely assured.

"Song, congratulations, I heard about American Telecom, and you have created another miracle!" Jotus didn't know why Song Yang called him, but he still said to Song Yang.

Song Yang groaned, "America Telecom is in a mess right now, it's too much of a headache..."

Hearing the words of Versailles to the extreme, Jotus didn't know what to say. He took away more than one billion dollars from American Telecom. If it was him, Jotus would be willing to continue to have such a headache.

"President Jotus, actually I came to you today because I want to discuss something with you!" After a few words, Song Yang got to the point.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Jotus, who has always gotten along well with Song Yang and made a fortune from Hotmail, said directly, "Please tell me!"

But after listening to Song Yang's words, Jotus was stunned for a while, and then he came back to his senses, "Song, you mean, let me be the CEO of American Telecom?"
