Chapter 832 Thunder and Rain
Song Yang met Immelt in the spring breeze in Immelt's villa. At this time, Immelt was full of the demeanor of a big man visible to the naked eye.

General Electric's board of directors has passed a resolution to let Immelt be the new president. Welch chose to retire early. He originally planned to work until next year, but with the hope of acquiring Honeywell Group, it was completely shattered , Let Welch's last battle in his career end without a problem.

Coupled with the fact that Immelt is playing well again, he forcibly recreated General Electric, and joined forces with Song Yang to create a giant company with a market value of more than 3000 billion US dollars.

Welch chose to retreat bravely, and did not continue to stay at General Electric to compete with Immelt for something. For his sake, he doesn't need those things to prove himself!

From this point of view, Welch is far superior to Disney Emperor Eisner and Sprint President Bill Eisery. Compared with these power-hungry figures, Welch has started well and ended well.

During the trough of General Electric, he took over General Electric and used his entire career to bring General Electric to the throne of the world's largest market capitalization group, allowing General Electric to enter the unprecedented 4000 billion dollar club.

After creating an empire and choosing a new successor for the empire, he chose to leave at the peak of his career. Welch's career has already been considered a Dzogchen, and he can be called a model of American professional managers , will also be recorded in the MBA textbooks of major business schools around the world.

To show respect for Welch, Immelt's inaugural dinner was held after Welch's retirement dinner.

Although Immelt has been waiting for the position of the head of General Electric for more than ten years, he knows that now is not short of those few days, and he cannot break the personality that he has been building all along.

The more this time comes, Immelt knows, the more he has to be calm, and he can't be too urgent and impatient, so as not to let the outside world say that he drove Welch away, although In fact, it is true that the board of directors of General Electric prefers the new and dislikes the old, and secretly made some small moves, hoping that Immelt can come to power as soon as possible and bring them more rewards!
With the overall situation set, Immelt has been living in seclusion for the past few days, and even the media rarely sees him. If it wasn't for Song Yang's arrival, and other people came to visit, Immelt would have closed the door to thank guests.

ICQ's stock price soared, which made Immelt feel good. General Electric is ICQ's nominal majority shareholder. He just took over as the head of General Electric, and ICQ's stock price soared. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a gift from Song Yang. His gift is average!
"Bernard Ebes probably won't be able to sleep these days!"

Immelt's mansion is quite large, even if it is not as good as Bill Gates' mansion, but it has indoor golf, gardens, swimming pools and so on.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Immelt, with a cigar in his mouth, swung a golf ball. In front of Song Yang, Immelt was obviously relaxed, and he didn't put on the look he did in front of the media. This is the truth. The current Immelt is by no means as "easy-going" as the media reports, with no temper or anything.

On the contrary, Immelt, whether it is the city or the wrist, is top-notch. Of course, he never relents at critical moments. If you don’t believe me, ask the dismantled French Alstom how it feels!
"Song, General Electric is on your side. Fighting WorldCom is our common goal. WorldCom cannot buy Sprint, I promise you!"

Immelt put down his cigar, took a sip of his drink, and said with a bit of arrogance, "Maybe Bernard Ebes will be unlucky, I promise, he won't look for Song you again." side trouble!"

The blow to WorldCom is also for Immelt himself. After all, General Electric is the parent company of ICQ, and American Telecom is a brand of ICQ.

However, listening to Immelt's words, Song Yang felt a slight chill in his heart. Immelt's words seemed to be casual, but they seemed to mean something, as if he was sure that Bernard Ebes would be unlucky.

Song Yang doesn't doubt Immelt's means. From the general electric's attack on Alstom, he can know that Immelt is really ruthless and can do anything. He won't leave any room for attacking his opponent!
"Song, there may be some public opinion about General Electric and me recently, and there will always be people who are unwilling to fail and admit the facts.

I hope ICQ still has you here, can support me! "

When it was determined that Immelt would become the new head of General Electric, the Nine Dragons Seized by Welch before, several other candidates for the head of General Electric, General Energy President Nardelli, General Engines Group President Na McKenna The Niji people immediately submitted their resignation letters and chose to leave General Electric.

With the qualifications, abilities, and contacts of Nadelli, McNerney, and others, they left General Electric and went to other groups, and they also served as presidents. It must be much stronger!
But this has also caused, in a short period of time, General Electric will lose a group of executives, and the news spread, just like Immelt can't tolerate Nadelli and others, it is not very good for Immelt's reputation.

Hearing this, Song Yang nodded, showing a regretful expression, "I have to say, Nadelli and the others made a wrong decision!"

He said so, but Song Yang glanced at Immelt lightly. He felt that the departure of Nadelli and others might not have fulfilled Immelt's wishes. Nadelli, McNerney and others would not all run away at once, but Immelt did nothing but watched them leave GE quietly.

Nadelli and others have no worse qualifications than Immelt, and their abilities are also top-notch. If they stay at General Electric, they will eventually be one of Immelt's threats. His prestige is not as good as Welch's, and he may not be able to hold back Nadelli waited for a group of people, and maybe one day, Immelt would be replaced. Let Nadelli and others leave now, and Immelt is also exempted from a threat!
Song Yang felt that if he could attack Nadelli and others today, with Immelt's character and skills, he might also attack the ICQ management when his status and power were completely stabilized.

But that day, whether it will come or not is hard to say. When the Internet crashed, everything was a cloud. What's the point of him vying for the control of ICQ.

Before he became the head of General Electric, Immelt had good luck, but in the future, it is hard to say whether he will have such good luck. Think about it, he just took over General Electric this year, and he will face the collapse of the Internet. Then the Twin Towers were bombed, and then the subprime mortgage crisis. It is hard to say where Immelt ranks in the history of the nine general electric chiefs, but he is definitely the one with the most bad luck...

"Song, after I take over General Electric, I hope to complete the merger of ICQ and Bronfman Group!"

At this time, Immelt was still ambitious and implementing his own big merger plan. He didn't think about accidents at all. Even if he could think of risks, who would have thought that an industry could be completely overthrown and rebuilt? !
