Back To 1995

   Chapter 185

The    news was reported by a tabloid media. It’s hard to tell whether it’s true or not, but this plan is indeed a heifer on the plane, and Niu Bi on the sky!

  America Telecom This is almost unabashed, to neutralize the idea of ​​​​the American telecommunications industry and build a telecommunications empire.

   What makes Wall Street excited is not whether America Telecom is bragging, but that there is a topic that can be hyped up. If everything is calm and steady like an old dog, how will Wall Street hype it up?

There are too many places to hype the plan of American Telecom. After the news came out, there were also Wall Street companies that analyzed the plan, and believed that the funds involved in this plan would be at least 100 billion US dollars. Above, and even more than that.

   Not only the telecommunications industry, but also equipment manufacturers such as communications and broadband have seen their stock prices skyrocket because of this news, and there are countless people who encouraged this plan for a while.

   "Americas Telecom, which has completed the reorganization of the broadband business unit of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, will become one of the top ten network providers in America!"

   All major TV stations and media are reporting this news that claims to have changed the telecom landscape in America. In addition to reporting that America Telecom achieved a snake swallowing elephant and devoured the broadband department of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, it also reported some other rumors.

   A picture appeared on the TV. It was a photo of a party. Song Yang, Eric, Kenneth, and others were all on the list. It was a celebration held by American Telecom last night.

"America Telecom held a grand party," the TV host pointed to the smiling Song Yang and others holding champagne in the photo. "It is reported that before the reorganization of America Telecom, a huge Dividends.

   The scale of this dividend may exceed US$2 billion. As the American Global Investment Foundation, which is owned by Bruno Song, the major shareholder of Telecom America, it is possible to receive more than US$1 billion in dividends.

A reporter inquired about the telephone and Telegraph Group and Enron Corporation on this matter, but both companies refused to answer the matter. However, according to the announcement of the two listed companies, the American Telecom account at the time of reorganization had less than $600 million in cash flow... "

After America Telecom's plan to break through the sky, the entire Internet and the telecommunications industry were shaken, and the news that Song Yang alone smashed billions of dollars and completed the reorganization of the empty America Telecom .

   "Temad, it's the Internet people who know how to play!"

When he saw the news, Qwest founder Philip Anschutz couldn't help but complained that he was working so hard to get Qwest listed, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped by America Telecom in seconds. No more.

   He felt that his bragging was big enough, but compared to America Telecom's move, he was so conservative, which was a bit outrageous.

So what covers 2,000 cities around the world, 75 data centers, etc., is obviously much bigger than Qwest's bragging rights, and that's all, the collectively blind companies on Wall Street are still touting so much. .

However, Philip is also somewhat envious of Song Yang. He really knows how to play. He feels that the gossip is probably true. America Telecom released this big satellite to cover up the influence of Song Yang's huge dividends, to confuse the public and divert the public. For outside attention.

   One billion dollars, Philip couldn't imagine how many containers it would take to fill it up, but now Song Yang caught it.

However, Philip didn't ridicule Song Yang or anything. Instead, he built the route from Chicago to New York. I'm afraid he would have done even more ruthlessly, hollowing out all three billion dollars in revenue, and then selling the shell company. , slap the **** and leave, this is how the American people play, draining the last drop of oil from the stone!

   "In the future, Qwest's main rival will probably be America Telecom!" Qwest President Nacchio said with a serious face watching the news on TV.

   Hearing this, Philip's face was a little weird. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that America Telecom was bragging, but Nachio actually wrote it? !

Philip couldn't help laughing and said, "Nacchio, you don't really believe in these plans of Telecom America. If you want to do all this within five years, it is impossible for a company of Telecom America to complete it. It can only buy it. How many telcos is this going to buy?"

Nacchio glanced at Philip, who has a technical background and has not really learned how to play Wall Street, "This matter is not about whether Wall Street believes it or not, the key is whether it is profitable, if you can make money from investing in the American Telecom project, even if it is a scam. , the project done by America Telecom is just a piece of waste paper, and Wall Street will invest!"

   Philip's smile stiffened on his face, he understood what Nachio meant, Wall Street likes hype, and this **** plan of American Telecom is obviously to their appetite.

   Investing in Telecom Americas, an extremely huge plan, may not be able to return the capital at all, but how could Wall Street not know that the direct return from America Telecom does not mean that the capital cannot be returned from other places.

Once the plan starts, listed companies in the entire industry chain, such as telecommunications companies, communication material suppliers, and equipment manufacturers, can all start to be hyped. Wall Street can hype whichever sector it wants to hype, and play with any concept it wants. Cutting leeks is not easy!

Finally, after sending America Telecom to the market, it will cash out and make the last wave to leave. In this case, even if it is a Qwest company, if there is a need, Wall Street will also support America Telecom to acquire Qwest, regardless of how Qwest is touted by Wall Street today. For Xiao Tiantian, when one day you can't look down on it, it will be Mrs. Niu!

Nachio was also a little depressed. Who would want a company that just went public to become a leek. "Qwest needs to go public as soon as possible, and then start a new plan. If it doesn't want to be acquired, Qwest needs to acquire it. other companies."

   Now Nachio finally understands it, he knows how the telecom industry in America is now playing, and he doesn't want to be eaten as a small fish, he has to start eating other small fish constantly.

   Even Qwest started to have such an idea, not to mention other telecommunications companies. The actions of America Telecom, like a catalyst, opened up a large-scale involution in the telecommunications industry in America.

   "Accelerate the acquisition of UUnet, WorldCom has no time to wait any longer!"

  In WorldCom, when he saw the news of the reorganization of America Telecom, Ebes also said to his subordinates that he was ready to win UUnet before America Telecom.

  Like WorldCom, the MFS company is also in the process of mobilization. President James Crow is talking to the MFS board of directors impassionedly about the great achievements after the acquisition of UUnet.

   "Once the acquisition is completed, MFS will become America, one of the most important Internet providers, UUnet's customers, Microsoft, Oracle, AOL and other companies will all become MFS customers!"

   "The Internet is the future. With UUnet, MFS has the future. Of course, there are also investors who recognize MFS's share price!"

   The last sentence became the straw that broke the camel's back. Many MFS directors' hearts could not help but start to lean towards Crow.

However, it is not without opponents. Every company has different voices, not to mention MFS. The opponents immediately said, "If UUnet is not a rival of America Telecom in the future, this acquisition will Put MFS in a quagmire, America Telecom has more Internet supporters than UUnet!"

  James Crow looked at the opponents, and finally sneered, "Then I will send you a famous quote from Bruno Song that you said, if you dare not do it because you are afraid of your opponent, what's the point of the existence of MFS?!"

   The opponent who was scolded by Crow looked at Crow hatefully, and sat down with a groan.

   "Let's vote now, whether to make a wholly-owned acquisition of UUnet!" Crowe directly began to vote. Once the vote is passed, it means that MFS will acquire UUnet at all costs.

   Watching the vote passed by the board with an overwhelming majority, a smile finally appeared on James Crow's face.

Now the telecommunications industry in America is touting Ebbs and the guy from Houston, but who will be killed? Who knows until the end, why can't MFS be the final winner? This is James Crow at this moment. idea.

On a golf course in New York, there was laughter at this time. Song Yang, who had poor golf skills, was hugging Jenny, who had come from Houston overnight, and teaching her to play golf. Not surprisingly, this shot Going down, the golf ball disappeared, but the big cream cake didn't matter. Looking back, he put his lips toward Song Yang.

  Jenny rushed over overnight, and when she saw the news reports, the women who appeared at the party with Song Yang, Jenny who broke out from the small vinegar jar, flew over immediately under someone's crowd.

   There were a lot of people on the golf course at the moment. In addition to Hailey who came with Jenny, there were also Gallo, Eric, Jan and Kenneth of Enron.

Jenny, who was with Song Yang tired, saw several other so-called New York ladies on the court, as well as a few Hollywood newcomers. When she frequently cast her eyes, she slapped Song Yang hard, and then protested at the others. The woman glanced.

   "Song!"

   Not far from Kenneth, he waved his hand to Song Yang, Song Yang explained to Jenny, and then walked towards Kenneth.

Seeing Song Yang's arrival, Kenneth and Jeff Skilling also let the little models around them leave. These models are quite famous in the industry, but in front of these two people, they are also like well-behaved cats In general, don't dare to say a word at all.

   "Song, didn't I bother you?!" Kenneth teased Song Yang.

   As soon as the conversation changed, Kenneth turned to Song Yang and said, "Song, we will be leaving New York soon. I want to know, is there a suitable candidate for the president of America Telecom?"
