Chapter 833 Three birds with one stone

Countless people have said that reality is just a repeat of history, but when you are in it, every time something that happened in history really happened, you will be amazed for a long time.

Although Immelt is well-informed, he has also seen countless big scenes, and also experienced the scene of the American stock market plummeting, but then rose again, but as for an industry that was completely wiped out, Immelt has not yet experienced……

Just like Buffett, he would not have imagined that in more than ten years, when he is 80 years old and accustomed to seeing the clouds rise and fall, he will witness the stock markets of America and eight countries melt down at the same time, and the American stock market melted down four times in ten days Such a scene, let him, an old Jianghu, also lose 500 billion US dollars, bluntly speaking, it will be a long time to see you.

"Of course, ICQ should fill in the last piece of the missing picture. After the acquisition of Bronfman Group, ICQ has the entire industry chain spanning the Internet, telecommunications, media, and entertainment!

This is the ICQ I dreamed of, but in the end it will be realized in the hands of you, President Immelt! "

Song Yang said to Immelt with emotion, envy, and remorse, as if he was very excited about what ICQ was about to achieve, and because the major shareholder of ICQ became Immelt Special, but a little regret.

This acting skill brought into full play the basic skills that Song Yang had honed over the years dealing with those old foxes on Wall Street.

Seeing Song Yang's expression, Immelt couldn't help showing a little smug expression. He raised his glass and clinked a glass with Song Yang. While sipping the wine, he shook his head calmly, feeling that Song Yang was still too young!

Thinking that in his hands, two giant companies with a market value of over US$4000 billion were born. According to this year's market, the market value of ICQ and General Electric may rise sharply. The combined market value of the last two companies may exceed one trillion. He will perform the greatest miracle that America and Wall Street have ever seen!

He will also become the most powerful person on the American power list, except for the Grand Commander. Even the Grand Commander may not be able to wield his power wantonly, and Immelt can't help feeling a little drunk.

Glancing at Song Yang, Immelt was a little more awake. He knew that at this time, before it was time to open the champagne, Immelt looked embarrassed and said to Song Yang, "Song, I know this request , may be a little too much, but I hope that I can get your support!"

Immelt was "sincere" and said to Song Yang "from the bottom of his heart", "The cooperation with the Bronfman Group, Edgar Bronfman Jr. of the Bronfman Group, hopes to exchange shares Way, to complete the merger, Bronfman Group hopes to get more shares in ICQ, Song, you are the largest individual shareholder of ICQ, I hope, this time you can..."

Looking at Immelt, who was full of embarrassment and seemed to be very guilty of Song Yang, Song Yang felt that his acting skills were so good that it would be a pity not to go to the Oscars.

Obviously they want to take away Song Yang's equity, but they still find a lot of reasons. Why do ICQ's other major shareholders, Comcast Group and Telephone and Telegraph Group, oppose ICQ's continued acquisition of Bronfman Group? In addition to wanting to wrestle with Immelt and compete for control of ICQ's board of directors, a large part of the reason is that the acquisition of Bronfman will weaken their ICQ equity.

Comcast Group, Telephone and Telegraph Group, Goldman Sachs and other major shareholders of ICQ are not willing to give up ICQ shares held by General Electric, and Immelt is even more unwilling. After all the calculations, it seems that only Song Yang is here There is a breakthrough...

Immelt is going to let Song Yang make another concession for the sake of ICQ's overall situation. This move kills two birds with one stone. It not only acquires the Bronfman Group, but also reduces Song Yang's shareholding in ICQ, avoiding Song Yang's big interest in General Electric. The threat to shareholder status, Immelt's thoughts are full.

Immelt's little calculation, Song Yang probably could have heard it clearly even in Houston.

However, Song Yang couldn't turn a blind eye to match Immelt's performance, right? If Immelt wanted the ICQ equity in Song Yang's hands, then Song Yang would give it to him, depending on how much he could eat!
Immelt has to exchange cash for as much equity as Song Yang wants. It depends on how much money he can raise. If he can raise $700 billion in cash, then Song Yang is willing to hold If ICQ shares are sold to him at a discount, Song Yang will be at a loss...

"President Immelt," Song Yang said with a dignified look on his face, and his voice was a little low, as if he was very unhappy, "I have already given up my status as a major shareholder. The couple and the Disney family were kicked out of the board, ICQ was founded by me!"

Song Yang played up his sincere emotions and told Immelt that he was not willing to sell ICQ shares anymore. This was built by him himself and it was his heart and soul. If Immelt wanted it, then... Need to add money!

"Song, no one can kick you, the Bruno family, out of the ICQ board of directors. In the history of ICQ, the first name that appears will always be you!

But we have to look forward. ICQ is no longer the ICQ of just a few people. It has more than [-] employees around the world. We want to build ICQ into the brightest pearl in Silicon Valley, and build it into an IBM-like A hundred years old.

The founding families of Motorola and IBM are still in control of Motorola and IBM, even if they are no longer major shareholders, Song, ICQ can do the same. After ten or 20 years, ICQ's board of directors will still be named Bruno , but it needs more allies and enters more industries! "

Immelt's words are really powerful. Most people will probably be stunned by him. The founder families of IBM and Motorola are indeed still in their respective companies, but their influence is already minimal. My own home has become a shelter for others.

Not to mention, America is more like companies like Disney, Cisco, and Apple, which sweep the founders out like garbage.

Now Immelt said "hard-hearted", but when Song Yang gave up his shares, what he wanted to do was up to him!

Seeing that Song Yang was silent, Immelt stepped up his temper, "Song, General Electric will give you enough compensation, except Bronfman's wine and other brands, will be split out and transferred to RICK Group In addition, except for industries such as Universal, the rest of the Bruno family can choose!"

This is the promise of benefits to Song Yang. What Immelt wants is Bronfman's Universal Pictures, Universal Records, and distribution channels for Hollywood industries. With these industries, ICQ will extend its tentacles into Hollywood.

As for the Bronfman Group's beverages and other industries, they can basically be sold to Song Yang at the price of cabbage. Think about it, even if there is something leaked out of the $400 billion deal, it is estimated to be worth a lot.

"I need cash!"

Song Yang suddenly said something, which made Immelt, who was still about to continue promising empty promises, startled for a moment, and then he realized, "Song, are you willing to transfer the equity?"

Song Yang nodded with a "serious" face, "I can transfer part of ICQ's equity, but General Electric needs to pay in cash. Damn it, new energy vehicles and space exploration are too expensive..."

Listening to Song Yang's scolding, Immelt was both excited and a little entangled. Song Yang agreed to give up the equity, which is a good thing, but he also needs cash. General Electric's cash flow is not too much now. The big merger also cost General Electric a lot of cash flow.

But looking at Song Yang's expression, Immelt knew that if he didn't take out something, Song Yang might not be able to relax.

"Song, General Electric will raise a part of the equity to acquire the equity in your hand. Don't worry, you and the Bruno family will never be kicked out of ICQ!"

When walking out of Immelt's mansion, Song Yang turned his head and looked at Immelt standing by the window. The two looked at each other and smiled. After turning their heads, the smiles on the faces of Song Yang and Immelt , disappeared in an instant.

Immelt wants to kill two birds with one stone, but have you ever thought that he will also be the bird that gets hit, and whether this merger will turn into three birds with one stone? !
