Back To 1995

   Chapter 184 Don't lie to your own people

   Throughout the conference room, after the reorganization, several companies had been arguing about the shares of America Telecom acquired by several companies before they were finally decided.

   Of course, it is only a rough decision now. An intentional agreement is signed. The real contract will have to wait for the legal departments of several companies to make a fool out of it before it can be finally finalized.

This is not as simple as a few agreements. It also involves the influence of Telephone and Telegraph Group, Enron, Comerica Bank, etc. in America Telecom. After the reorganization, several companies will send personnel to America Telecom to serve as financial The personnel in the departments of , risk control, personnel, etc. are not only helping America Telecom, but also "supervising" to prevent Song Yang from engaging in rude operations in America Telecom.

   However, this agreement of intent is also binding. It represents that America Telecom has truly completed its reorganization, and America Telecom, which has obtained the broadband business of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, has truly entered the telecommunications industry in America!

   After the agreement was reached, Best was most concerned about the next move of Telecom Americas. As Song Yang said just now, it would occupy Silicon Valley, Wall Street, New York, Los Angeles and other major cities. Of course, this is what Telecom Americas should do.

   But Best is most concerned about whether America will be able to compete with WorldCom and MFS for UUnet and other companies, as Song Yang made a lot of rumors in the media before.

   "Song, did you really decide to acquire UUnet?" Best asked Song Yang.

Best hoped that Song Yang would be hard-hearted and fight on behalf of the Telephone and Telegraph Group against WorldCom, a little brother who used to be behind him. If America Telecom wins, the Telephone and Telegraph Group is afraid not. You can wake up from a dream.

Anyway, America Telecom has blocked many opponents such as WorldCom, MFS, MCI, etc. The Telephone and Telegraph Group is absolutely happy to see it, but Best is also worried that the acquisition of UUnet, which has been fired at a sky-high price, is not a big deal. America Telecom can't take it anymore!

   Jeff Skilling, who has always liked to make big moves, said at this time, "Enron supports America Telecom's acquisition of UUnet. America Telecom needs to make everyone aware of America Telecom's existence!"

  Jeff Skilling wanted to transfer Enron's set to America Telecom, make a big investment, then go public, keep raising the stock price, and then continue to invest in more industries.

  Song Yang shook his head. He lost his head, so he had to raise billions of dollars from Wall Street to buy something like UUnet.

   "UUnet is very good, but it is not what America Telecom needs. America Telecom now needs broadband and fiber optic lines, not only in America, but also in other overseas markets. It is also what America Telecom needs!"

  America Telecom must be listed and cashed out in the past few years. If you want those leeks, no, investors are generous, you must make America Telecom's data quite eye-catching.

If you want to do this, it is nothing more than how long the broadband line has, how many users it covers, how much revenue will be in the future, etc. Anyway, it seems that America Telecom is a lump of gold, as long as you buy it, you can earn it. As for Whether it will suddenly explode from a golden lump into a flying lump in the future is a matter of the future. After all, even people may have an accident, let alone a company.

And UUnet, Qwest and other companies, in fact, do not have their own broadband lines, they all use the lines of other companies to operate. America Telecom bought these things, except for the appearance, they are basically a Ground chicken feathers.

"I hope that America Telecom can make an offer to WilTel Telecom Company, cooperate with WilTel Telecom or even acquire the other party, which will make America Telecom become the underground optical fiber in America second only to Prince Telecom! "

   "In addition, America Telecom can cooperate with Prince Telecom, Canada Telecom, Mexico Telecom, France Telecom, Singapore Telecom and other network projects!"

Best and An Ran also came to think about it. Song Yang didn't seem to want to fight too fiercely with WorldCom and other giants in America. Instead, he seemed to want to overtake in a corner and take the lead in opening a gap in the overseas market. Undoubtedly the lowest cost.

Competing with WorldCom and others is really too expensive. Take a look at UUnet, how much it has been fired in just a few days. You can see how crazy the telecommunications industry in America is, and the telecommunications industry in overseas markets, Although it is also heating up, it has not reached the level of fanaticism in America, and America Telecom is now able to buy a lot of companies.

   "In addition to investing and acquiring other telecommunications companies, I plan to let America Telecom establish operation centers and telecommunications chain stores in America and overseas markets."

   Song Yang looked at the shocked expressions of everyone in the conference room and said, "The frenzy in the telecommunications industry will eventually subside, and America Telecom needs to have more business!"

   "America Telecom's communication chain stores, in addition to handling various businesses of America Telecom and Telephone and Telegraph Group, can also sell routers, network cables and even computers, mobile phones, VCDs and other electronic products!"

Song Yang is preparing to learn about domestic mobile. First, he will open hundreds of thousands of stores in America. If one day America Telecom becomes a smash in the telecommunications industry, it will become the largest mobile phone retail channel in America. .

   When the era of mobile phones comes completely in the future, when e-commerce has not yet emerged, it will be a modern era where channels are king. Which mobile phone brand can have more channel sellers to support, the higher the sales of mobile phones.

  It would be too wasteful for America Telecom to not be a mobile phone channel provider. These mobile phone channel stores will not be eliminated for at least ten or twenty years, and they can contribute huge cash flow every year.

   Of course, if America Telecom's mobile phone chain stores are established, Song Yang will not need to worry about sales channels when he enters the mobile phone industry, and it is enough to sell directly in his own stores!

Best, Kenneth, Jeff Skilling, Jia En and others all stared at Song Yang blankly. They all knew that Song Yang could play flowers, but it was beyond them that he could play so well. expected.

America Telecom is really developing according to Song Yang's plan. No one knows what America Telecom will become in the future, but one day, if America Telecom suddenly announces that it will become the largest electronic retailer in America, or even a department store retailer, I am afraid that Best and the others are not strange, Song Yang may really play it!

   "This is heavy investment, Song, you have to think about it!" Best reminded Song Yang.

To build so many chain stores, you must buy storefronts, lease stores, and recruit store staff. This will make America Telecom invest a huge amount of money. If these store channels do not develop, or mobile phone sales are sluggish, America Telecom may be dragged in an instant. collapse.

   Of course, if this is developed, it will be another world. Think about it, besides the telecommunications business, it also has the largest mobile phone retail channel in America, I am afraid it will not be blown up by the Wall Street gang!

"I see!"

Song Yang stretched out his hand and said that he would definitely not invest his own money anyway, and Inter-American Telecom would find Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other banks to raise money to spend. In this industry, such a huge investment, Song Yang is reluctant to take risks and has Wall Street money. Not burning it would be too wasteful.

   "So," Song Yang got up and said, "America Telecom should have reached an agreement with you. America Telecom will start planning, and will select a suitable CEO!"

   After the door of the hotel conference room opened, everyone filed out. Tonight, America Telecom will hold a grand party in New York to celebrate the completion of America Telecom's reorganization.

The news about America Telecom also began to spread quickly. After Best returned to the Telephone and Telegraph Group, after the decision of the board of directors of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, it was the first to issue an announcement. When the Telephone and Telegraph Group announced that it would merge its broadband business with America Telecom , In fact, when it was sold, the entire telecommunications industry was in an uproar!

   Before the Telegraph Group issued an announcement to start cooperation with America Telecom, even if some people expected all this, they did not expect that it would happen so quickly.

   As the largest giant company in America, it sells cubs so fast that it can be compared to giant pandas who drink milk without cubs.

   And the Telephone and Telegraph Group is really willing. Even WorldCom, Prince, UUnet, Qwest and other colleagues did not expect that the Telephone and Telegraph Group would kneel so simply.

   However, Wall Street seems to be very optimistic about this transaction. After the news was announced, the share price of Telephone and Telegraph Group, which had been rising sharply in the past few days, once again achieved great fanfare, and the stock price skyrocketed!

Wall Street doesn't care whether the Telephone and Telegraph Group has sold the broadband business or not, whether they have sold the future. They only care that the Telephone and Telegraph Group has finished slimming down and will not make much money. They have also invested in huge broadband lines to sell. The performance of the Telephone and Telegraph Group in the next quarter will be brighter.

After the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Enron also issued an announcement. Enron did not mention how much money it had invested in America Telecom, but only insisted that Enron's investment in America Telecom represented the investment in the most popular telecom and Internet industries. This is the head of Enron. Another great and wise decision by Kenneth, it seems that this 5% stake in America Telecom will allow Enron to obtain huge benefits.

But the market just likes this. Any value investment is bullshit. Only good hype is the right way to invest in the industry. The Telephone and Telegraph Group will go up a lot!

  America Telecom was not idle either, and disclosed the plan to a tabloid media in New York, America Telecom, on the same day.

   "Silicon Valley's own telecommunications company", Telecom America first used this banner to warm up to enter the Silicon Valley market.

Afterwards, it announced a plan with an extremely large scale. I can’t say whether it can be done. Anyway, Wall Street is full of enthusiasm. Telecom America announced that in the next three to five years, it will establish a global Internet IP center in North America, Europe, and Asia. , built 75 data centers around the world, entered markets in 80 regions, and provided broadband network services to 2,000 cities around the world...
