Back to 1995

Chapter 597
The few people who got together, Adrian and Card, were all members of the Elephant Party, while Charles Koch and Kenneth were the largest donors of the Elephant Party.

Another most important reason is that they all have a special relationship with the cowboy family, and they can even be said to be die-hard supporters and big benefactors of the cowboy family!
Hearing what Charles Koch said, Adrian and others laughed, they are all old foxes, how could they not understand that Song Yang must be planning something when they got together.

Kade glanced at Song Yang's direction, and didn't think too much about it. He came this time, actually, on behalf of the Little Cowboy, to meet with Song Yang, the emerging big money owner of the Elephant Party, to confirm Song Yang's support for the Little Cowboy .

Not only Song Yang here, but the cowboy family has already begun to prepare for it. During this period of time, Kade will fly all over America. People who contact the Elephant Party have begun to support the little cowboy. Little Cowboys campaign office generously.

After Charles Koch made a joke, he stopped talking. He is a veteran funder of the Elephant Party. He has reached out to American congressmen since the 60s. There are also many congressmen supported by Charles Koch on the Donkey Party. It's just that the Koch brothers are more inclined to the Xiang party. As they are, even the donkey party now dare not embarrass them.

The meeting with Song Yang this time, Charles Koch is more like a contact between an old funder and a new funder. Koch Industry represents the old money from traditional industries, and Song Yang is undoubtedly the face of the Internet high-tech upstart .

The old money in traditional industries and the upstarts in emerging industries will collide sooner or later. In many industries, the two sides are working against each other. But as a supporter of the Elephant Party, Charles Koch does not want to get into trouble with Song Yang. The support this time can be regarded as a contact.

For Song Yang, Charles Koch feels pretty good, but Charles Koch from the old Jianghu understands that the two of them feel pretty good when they meet today. It is based on the fact that there is no conflict of interest. Brothers will not be lenient, and Charles Koch has also heard about Song Yang's deeds.

To be honest, Koch Industries has encountered the attacks Song Yang is now facing, such as investigations by the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Department of Justice, etc., as early as the 60s. Otherwise, why would the Koch Brothers donate so many dollars to everyone? Congressman Lu, now more than half of the Congressmen on Capitol Hill, have accepted their donations, and since then, America has never issued a bill targeting Koch Industry, and the standards and emissions originally aimed at the chemical industry The bills have also disappeared...

What Song Yang is going through and what he is playing now, the Charles Koch brothers have also played. Because of this, they don't want to tear each other up with Song Yang. It really hurts both sides. Charles Koch is sure to survive in the end They were the ones who came down, but it was estimated that they would have to suffer a lot.

After the wedding, the venue was full of noise. The invited band was playing music on the spot. Many members of the Bruno family and Haili's family joined the dancing crowd.

However, in the corner of the lawn in the backyard, many people gathered together in twos and threes. Song Yang sat with Immelt and Brian Roberts, Charles Koch, Card and others gathered together, Eric also He was talking fiercely with a group of people from the Comerica Bank, and many people gathered together in twos and threes.

"Song!"

Both Immelt and Brian Roberts looked at Song Yang. They both left what they were doing this time and rushed over here.

"When will ICQ be listed?" Immelt asked Song Yang directly.

Brian Roberts could feel that Immelt was really in a hurry to get angry. He came this time because of ICQ's splitting of Sierra.

The timing of Sierra being spun off from ICQ was too delicate. It happened just before ICQ was about to apply for listing. After the split, the game happened to be a hit. Brian Roberts always had the feeling that he was clearly put together!

Looking at Immelt in front of him, Song Yang stretched out his hand and poured a glass of wine for the two of them, "Now ICQ has submitted a listing application to Nasdaq, and after the approval of the Nasdaq committee, ICQ has raised $18 billion. , ICQ will be listed.”

Immelt didn't pay attention to Song Yang's rhetoric at all. He knew that there were too many routines in it.

"I don't have that much time, Song, you should have heard that General Electric is preparing to acquire Honeywell, and if the acquisition is successful, McNerney will become the head of General Electric!
Song, if you don’t want the agreement between us to be invalidated, I need ICQ to go public and let ICQ complete the merger with NBC Group. After the merger, Irene Doherty can be the president of the new company. I know you want that! "

Immelt stared into Song Yang's eyes and said, Immelt, whose office fighting skills are full, can wrestle with Welch. Compared with him, Song Yang's skills in this area are still inferior A lot of gaps.

"I hope that too, Song, this is what I need too. After ICQ merges with NBC, Comcast TV Network, and American Telecom, I may be nominated by Comcast's board of directors as president!"

Brian Roberts also said that the position of president of Comcast is basically his fault, but if Brian wants to take over Comcast from the old Roberts, he must also make achievements to prove that he is allowed to take over Comcast. Castel Group is the most correct choice.

Faced with the staring eyes of the two, Song Yang nodded, "In a few days, I will go to New York to attend the premiere of "The Matrix", and I will talk to Wall Street about ICQ's fundraising. Available for [-] month!
Before Christmas this year, ICQ will start a big merger plan, and before the end of the year, all mergers and acquisitions will be completed!
Well, I would like to respect the president of General Electric and the president of Comcast in advance! "

Song Yang raised his wine glass and said to the two of them. Immelt and Brian Roberts felt relieved and raised their wine glasses to clink a glass with Song Yang!
As long as Song Yang doesn't mess around here, and with the addition of Immelt and Brian Roberts, it will not be so difficult for ICQ to merge this cake, and it will also become the biggest one in the history of America. Cake, at least one of them.

Putting down his glass, Brian Roberts hastily added, "The matter between ICQ and Sierra Mountain must not happen again!"

The valuation of ICQ will be lowered by at least 500% if Xueleshan is split off. If there is Xueleshan, then the valuation of ICQ may reach [-] billion US dollars. By then, it will compete with Comcast TV Network, When NBC is merged, it will be much easier, instead of always feeling a little unstable like it is now.

"Of course!" Song Yang said with a smile, there is nothing to dismantle ICQ, take away the most profitable Xueleshan, and now stay in ICQ's social networking, TV stations and other businesses, not to mention not making money, just like the money printing machine Compared with Xuele Mountain, it is far inferior.

The wine glasses collided, and Song Yang looked through the wine glasses at Immelt and Brian Roberts. The two were also looking at each other. At this time, he probably only knew what the three of them were thinking.

After the big merger is completed, that’s when the real story will be seen. If the company after the big merger makes a profit, it’s okay to say, but if it loses more than 500 billion dollars a year after the merger of AOL and Time Warner, then it’s time to Time is a chicken feather.

It's just that when the time comes, if the family is separated, it will depend on Song Yang's side, which of General Electric and Comcast is more powerful, but Song Yang knows that with the personalities of Immelt and Brian Roberts , I am afraid that I have already figured this out!

When Song Yang picked up a glass of wine and walked over, the old Bruno and Christa were looking at members of the Bruno family with big smiles on their faces. Old Bruno had already drank a lot of wine, and his face was full of drunk .

For the old Bruno couple, the scene in front of them, the scene they saw was something they never dared to imagine in the past. From coming to America alone, to the scene in front of them, it is enough to satisfy the old Bruno couple .

Song Yang walked up to the old Bruno and his wife, raised his glass high, "To the old Bruno, to the Bruno family!"

Gallo, Logan, Nathan, Hall, Camille and other members of the Bruno family shouted and raised their wine glasses, and Millia groaned.

When night fell, Charles Koch, Kenneth, Card, Adrian and others left, but the whole party lasted until midnight before the noise stopped, and people from the party company came in and began to clean up the villa.

The next day, the Houston Chronicle and other media published the news of Gallo and Hailey's wedding. The content of the report was very simple, with only a few sentences. Hai Li, the wedding ceremony was completed yesterday, many guests attended!"

The content of the news is very small, but the accompanying pictures are very exciting. When Charles Koch, Kenneth, Adrian, Immelt and other people in the picture appear on the picture as VIPs, people who see the picture , I couldn't help but go back and read the news again, and gained a new understanding of the Bruno family.

There are not many news reports on Gallo, but the news of those big figures attending the wedding has begun to spread. Through this wedding, countless people can clearly feel that the Bruno family has now become a new generation of powerful and wealthy families in America. up!

In a villa in Houston, Robert Dougherty was flipping through the news of the Houston Chronicle. When he saw those photos, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

As Eileen Doherty's father and one of the best dentists in Houston, Robert Doherty has now entered the Houston Health Bureau and became a director of the Houston Health Bureau, even though he and Adrian are not on the surface. It's in the same camp, but in Houston, it's still like duck to water.
