Back To 1995

  Chapter 157 Sharpening the Knife Huo Huo to the Sheep

Although Anshu Jiaen is young, he is Edison's most trusted subordinate. He is similar to Edison's personality and can be regarded as one of Edison's believers. There are portrait photos of Edison hanging in the office. Wonder who he is.

Seeing Song Yang in the reception room, An Shu was also stunned. He didn't expect Song Yang to appear here. He only heard that a little-known Spivey was coming to see him. He didn't expect Song Yang to appear too. Here, it was completely beyond An Shu's expectations.

   "Good luck meeting!"

  Song Yang stretched out his hand to Anshu Jiaen, "I don't know if I can disturb Director Anshu and Mr. Addison today?!"

   Facing America's youngest Mr. $500 million, who is still an upstart on the Internet, various thoughts flashed through Anshu Jain's mind quickly.

  Although I don’t know why Song Yang appeared here, for the Deutsche Bank investment bank, which has just been established for more than a year, Song Yang, an upstart in the Internet, is definitely one of the targets of solicitation.

   "Of course there is no problem, Mr. Addison is also absolutely willing to talk to Mr. Bruno!" After all kinds of thoughts flashed, An Shu said without hesitation.

  I don't know what Song Yang is going to talk about, but Deutsche Bank has absolutely no reason to push the $500 million man in front of him, who is known as the future leader of America's Internet.

  Song Yang and others were brought back to a small conference room, looking at the extravagant decoration of the conference room, which was obviously used to entertain important people.

Sitting in the small conference room, Spivey finally felt the difference between status and status. Not only Deutsche Bank, but Song Yang was afraid that any investment bank and institution on Wall Street could get such treatment, and Spivey held his own I'm afraid that the main owner will not be able to see it.

This is the law of the jungle in America, but here on Wall Street, it is infinitely magnified. People with status, status and worth can get everything they want here, while Spivey and others are here. Can only be used as cannon fodder!

It didn't take long for the door of the conference room to be pushed open, and a man who was not too tall but had a strong aura walked in. The aura was a very mysterious thing that could not be seen or touched, but some people just stood there, It's the focal point.

Addison is undoubtedly such a character. As soon as he entered the conference room, Addison became the focus of the audience. An Shu, who followed behind him, as well as Greck, Marcus and others in the conference room, all of them. His eyes turned to Addison.

   Looking around the conference room, Edison's unruly gaze finally landed on Song Yang.

   When he came to America, Song Yang could be considered to have seen a lot of big people, but this was the first time he could feel that kind of eagle-like gaze on his body.

   A figure who can lead the Deutsche Bank investment bank, fight with Goldman Sachs in a few years, and set off huge waves in the global investment and stock market, Edison is indeed impressive.

   "Song?!"

  Addison walked over to Song Yang, Song Yang could feel the hand that shook his hand, very strong, Edison with blond hair, typical Wall Street style, "Nice to meet you!"

After the group sat down, Addison looked at Song Yang and Gleek with great interest. Addison had heard more or less about Song Yang's name. Very interested, because Song Yang is good at creating "miracles".

  Since Song Yang’s debut, from Double-click, Hormail mailboxes to ICQ, which claims to have launched the era of Internet social networking, Song Yang has never missed a beat, and the valuations of these companies have exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not to mention the Hotmail mailbox that has already been sold, and DoubleClick, which is about to go public, has also been fired at a valuation of nearly US$500 million. ICQ is still online soon, but Wall Street institutions are already willing to make a valuation of US$300 million for ICQ. It is worth investing in, that is, as long as Song Yang is willing to sell ICQ, he can directly get 300 million US dollars... in cash!

   has never missed a beat since his debut, coupled with Song Yang's almost uninterrupted launch of new industries and new companies, Wall Street's interest in Song Yang is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of people who want to invest in Song Yang is also increasing.

But this Internet upstart suddenly came to Deutsche Bank Investment Bank in a low profile today, which still made Edison curious. As for the matter of finding a stock underwriter for Double Click, Edison didn't think about it at all. For this matter, Song Yang didn't even think about it. will do so.

   "So, Song, why are you here today?!"

   Direct, strong, without any sloppiness, just like the rumors, Edison didn't say a polite word, so he asked directly.

Song Yang and Gleek looked at each other, as if they had learned Addison's style, they looked at Addison, a madman on Wall Street, "Mr. Addison, I'm here today, I really have one thing, I want to talk to Deutsche Bank Investment Bank. Talk here!"

   "In my hands, there is a company with a new business that may be able to provide services for Deutsche Bank Investment Bank!"

   Listening to Song Yang's words, even Edison was stunned this time, as did Anshu Jiaen and several other senior executives of the Deutsche Bank investment bank, all of them looked at Song Yang blankly.

   After all, how long has it been since Song Yang debuted? He has already launched three high-profile companies with a valuation of over 100 million. Now, why is another company emerging? !

The Deutsche Bank Investment Bank all looked at Song Yang with strange eyes. Amelica was not without genius. There were also great people who made great achievements in different industries for many consecutive times. !

But even Howard Hughes, it took nearly decades to gain a firm foothold in the aviation, film, oil and other industries. Rao is Howard Hughes, but he is not like a donkey in the production team. , In more than a year, several new companies have been launched in succession.

  Song Yang glanced at Spivey. Spivey took out a few documents from his briefcase and pushed them to Edison and the others.

   "Mr. Addison, I heard that Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is setting up transactions in foreign exchange, futures, commodities, bonds and derivatives. Mr. Bruno Song's America Telecom may be able to help Deutsche Bank Investment Bank in these businesses!"

   Spivey introduced America Telecom to Addison and the others. Hearing the name of this unfamiliar e-commerce operator, Addison frowned and took a few glances at the document in front of him.

   "So, Bruno Song, what do you want to do?!" Addison only glanced at the document, then threw it aside and asked Song Yang directly.

  Song Yang did not go around in circles, "America Telecom is preparing a new communication line, from the Chicago futures market, directly to New York, it can directly increase the speed of Wall Street by two to three times!"

Hearing that Song Yang had entered the telecommunications industry, Edison was stunned for a moment. Entering the telecommunications industry from the Internet was not a small span, but then he thought of the meaning of the line of America Telecom, Anshu Jiaen, etc. People's expressions also changed. They are all experts in futures and foreign exchange transactions, and naturally understand the importance of information in this industry.

Even if manual trading is still the main method, computers can be used to check and track the market. If you see information one second earlier, you can make trading decisions one second earlier. Since the telegraph era, stock and bond transactions have occupied the global telegram. more than half of the number.

   There are even conspiracy theorists who believe that when the Titanic was involved in the accident, it was because the gang of rich people on board were busy sending stock trading news by telegram, so that the crew missed the opportunity to send a distress signal!

   As for the arrival of the telephone and Internet era, the speed of information transactions is vividly displayed.

"If traders from Deutsche Bank's investment bank use this line of American Telecom, they can make trading decisions 30 seconds or even a minute earlier than Chicago futures traders in other investment banks!" Spivey pointed to Deutsche Bank Investment Bank said that he is an expert in this regard.

When Anshu Jiaen and others heard this, they were obviously a little moved. They understood the importance of information speed too well. The futures market is changing rapidly, especially now that computerized trading has begun, and internet speed is the top priority. Heavy.

Every year, the major investment banks on Wall Street also pay huge fees to telecommunications groups such as Verizon, Telephone and Telegraph, so that these communication operators can ensure that their Internet speed and telephone lines are normal, and a dedicated line from Chicago to New York can also be used. It has never appeared, and no one can say how it will affect Wall Street, but the faster the internet speed, the better!

   But Addison still seemed unmoved, just looking at Song Yang with interest.

"I'm not an expert on Wall Street futures trading, but I know that this is a market of $15 billion to $20 billion a year. Global futures players are in this market, and the speed of trading has increased by tens of seconds. For Deutsche Bank Investment Bank. Say, it shouldn't be a bad thing!" Song Yang looked at Addison and said.

   Addison laughed, "It's really surprising, I think Wall Street will be shocked when they hear the news of this line!"

   There is more than one Wall Street institution that does futures trading. Edison can imagine that after the emergence of the American Telecom line, the entire Wall Street futures trading industry will be turned upside down.

But it is precisely because there are many companies in this line that Edison is not in a hurry. He is sure that Song Yang will definitely not just look for his family. Edison doesn't know how much it cost to build this line, but he is absolutely sure. It won't be a small amount.

   Deutsche Bank Investment Bank alone will definitely not make up for Song Yang's investment in this line, and Song Yang will find other investment institutions.

   Once the major investment institutions on Wall Street have used this route, then Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is not the same as before, and it has no advantages at all? !

This line is Song Yang's bargaining chip to blackmail Wall Street institutions, and Edison is very clear about this, "I think that the one who can provide this line will not only be the American Telecom, but the telephone and telegraph group, once they know about this line. On the line..."

   Edison is lowering the price. He knows that Deutsche Bank Investment Bank definitely needs this line, but Edison is not willing to be stabbed as a fat sheep.

   "But, at least this year, only America Telecom and other telecom companies can provide the fastest futures trading speed on Wall Street. It will take at least one year to build this line!"

   In the face of Edison, a Wall Street madman, Song Yang did not show weakness. At this time, he wanted to kill Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, how could he be soft-hearted.
