Back to 1995

Fame and wealth is a good thing, it can make people get countless things they dream of, such as social status, fame, power, etc., but it may also become a reminder of death!
Song Yang doesn't plan to earn any fame and fortune with Immelt. The sky is falling and he is standing tall. If he wants to gain fame and fortune, he has to be prepared to be smashed to death by fame and fortune. In this world, there are no unreasonable thing.

"Of course!"

Song Yang also took advantage of the situation and said, "ICQ has also made preparations. The management, personnel, and finance of ICQ and America Telecom have been integrated."

The merger of ICQ and American Telecom is the first step. Now that this step has been completed, it is natural to prepare for the next thing. After ICQ merged with American Telecom, the market value has reached expectations, and it can compete with NBC Group and Comcast. Continue with subsequent mergers and acquisitions.

But at this time, it's time to meet again. Immelt came to San Jose early today, just to discuss this with Song Yang in advance.

Song Yang, Immelt, and the Roberts family in charge of Comcast have all agreed to the big merger.

But there are a lot of things to say about who will be the main player in the big merger, what is the price of the merger, and who will be in charge of the merged company after the big merger is completed.

The scenery of the Bruno Family Club is really good, but Immelt doesn't have much appreciation for it.

Immelt knew that this matter was not so easy to talk about. He would not really think that Song Yang could let go of the idea of ​​controlling this giant company with just a few words. That would be a bit too idiotic.

"Song, I hope that after the merger, General Electric can become the majority shareholder of ICQ!"

As soon as Immelt came up, he said unabashedly that according to the current hot Internet market, after the merger is completed, the ICQ brand should definitely be used. Although NBC and Comcast are also old brands, they are highly recognizable. , but in Wall Street and the investment industry, it is far less popular than the ICQ brand!
Now the Internet industry recognizes the ICQ brand. In the new "World Top 500 Brands" ranking launched by the World Brand Lab, the young ICQ has entered the ranks of the top [-] brands. The value exceeds tens of billions of dollars.

In this regard, even NBC Group and Comcast are far inferior. Of course, the big merger should be based on ICQ.

Without waiting for Song Yang to speak, Immelt said the "reason" directly, "I need General Electric to become the major shareholder of ICQ after the merger is completed. This must be done!"

Immelt said earnestly, the reason why he is so active in promoting this big merger is to let General Electric become the majority shareholder of ICQ, otherwise, how can he explain to the board of directors of General Electric?
Song Yang showed a "difficult" look on his face, and he seemed to be very unwilling.

Instead of rejecting Immelt, he involved the other party, "President Immelt, even if ICQ's board of directors, management, and investors are willing to give up the status of major shareholders, Comcast Group and The Roberts family may not be willing to make concessions..."

Song Yang's attitude is very clear. Even if he doesn't compete with Immelt, the Roberts family may not be willing to give up the status of ICQ's major shareholder.

The young owner of the Comcast Group is also eagerly waiting to prove that he is not the second generation who is just waiting to die, but to lead the Comcast Group and the Roberts family to new heights. This ambition is no better than that of Immel. How much is the difference...

"Brian Roberts, let me solve it, now it's our problem, Song, I need your support, General Electric becomes the majority shareholder of ICQ!"

Immelt said with a big wave of his hand, looking confident, as if he was absolutely sure that he could handle Brian Roberts.

Song Yang doesn't know what Immelt can do, but he can't get rid of the exchange of interests, such as how much support he promises to give Comcast after he becomes the head of General Electric.

The atmosphere became dull for a while, and Song Yang was "stuck" in thought, as if the choice was very difficult.

Immelt was not surprised by this. He felt that at Song Yang's age, if he was not tempted to be the head of a giant with a market value of 3000 billion US dollars, he would be a ghost.

But for a full moment, Song Yang just dealt with the tea in front of him, which made Immelt feel a little anxious. When he was only one step away from the Iron Throne, it became more difficult to calm down. Immelt's mind followed Temper, in the past, he was absolutely able to hold his breath, and he was able to climb to the current position, and his office fighting skills were also full, but today, he still has difficulty calming down.

"Song, I know that it is more difficult to let go than to get, but believe me, let go now, and you will get ten times or a hundred times in return in the future.

At your current age, in the future, you may not only be the majority shareholder of ICQ, but even the head of General Electric, it may not be impossible..."

With a tone of "the future is yours", Immelt drew a big cake to Song Yang, and gave Song Yang the big cake of the head of General Electric.

Song Yang glanced at Immelt, and felt that Immelt was also full of evil, but anyone who said this must have no good intentions.

Sighing, Song Yang "helplessly" stretched out his hand, and seemed to lean on the chair helplessly. Seeing this scene, Immelt was overjoyed. He felt that Song Yang was still too young, but he still hurried He put forward multiple conditions, trying to appease Song Yang.

"General Electric will use NBC's equity to complete the equity exchange with ICQ. At least 20% of ICQ's equity must be obtained, but Song you and the current ICQ board of directors can still retain their current seats.

In addition, General Electric will pay you Song you and the ICQ board of directors $72 billion in cash! "

The market value of ICQ is now as high as 300 billion U.S. dollars. Taking the equity of NBC Group and conducting equity equity with ICQ, it is fair to say that the market value of NBC is definitely more than 260 billion U.S. dollars.

But still the same sentence, if NBC is willing to change, Song Yang is willing to give up his position as a major shareholder. Comcast Group will not compete with General Electric. Otherwise, even if NBC's market value doubles, it may not be able to change. To ICQ20% stake!
This requires Immelt to come up with more conditions. As long as he can get the status of major shareholder, Immelt is willing to temporarily give up ICQ's board of directors to Song Yang and Comcast. That is, the merged ICQ, on the board of directors, is still dominated by Song Yang, and General Electric has temporarily given up the idea of ​​completely taking over ICQ.

In order to obtain the status of ICQ's major shareholder, Immelt and General Electric must pay some price. There is nothing in the world that can be obtained with a single mouth.

But for Immelt, these are definitely worth it. Using a sum of cash to switch to the status of a major shareholder, even if the price paid may not be small, but you must know that this is a company that may reach hundreds of billions of dollars. How much can't you pay to get it?

Song Yang looked at Immelt with a "resolute" look on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "North America Global Investment Foundation can transfer part of ICQ's equity to General Electric, but General Electric must pay cash to repay it!"

Hearing this, Immelt showed a "heart pain" expression on his face, but he couldn't help being excited. He felt that Song Yang was still too "young" after all. The cash of the knife is indeed a good thing, but with the gold mine of ICQ, how many US dollars can't be earned back?

Stretching out his hand towards Song Yang, Immelt said with a heavy face, "Deal!"

"I will apply to the General Electric Board of Directors to pay Song you in cash!"

Immelt also needs the approval of the General Electric board of directors to mobilize a large amount of US dollars in cash, but Immelt feels that these are not problems. choose.

Song Yang and Immelt shook hands, and they both looked at each other with a "suffering" expression. It seemed that neither of them took advantage. As for who won, it is estimated that time will tell.

"Song, how could you agree to the old fox's condition?"

Brian Roberts, who rushed to San Jose in a hurry, had already settled the dust when he arrived, and he couldn't help but said to Song Yang heartbroken.
