Back To 1995

   Chapter 200

  Kravis doesn't care who the head of America Telecom is, but he still hopes to be a person with some ability, otherwise the mud can't support the wall, and the KKR group will suffer.

   After the executive meeting, Iger and Kravis and the others entered a small conference room non-stop.

Sitting in this conference room are a lot of Wall Street people, basically several Wall Street companies that have underwritten the shares of Double-click Company before, including Anshu Jain, who represented Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, and Paulson's confidant sent by Goldman Sachs. Pellet Greene, and this time Cronsol, who is here on behalf of Merrill Lynch, is Merrill Lynch's most experienced mortgage trader.

  America Telecom needs some allies. Although it is better to believe in a dog if you believe in Wall Street’s words, there are still some things that acquaintances can handle.

  Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch are partners of Inter-American Telecom in maintaining relationships on Wall Street, and Comerica Bank is a partner of Song Yang in the banking industry. In the future, all walks of life in America will basically find some partners.

  Anshu was sent by Edison, and he had the most contact with America Telecom. Edison intended him to be in charge of America Telecom's business in Deutsche Bank.

   "President Iger," An Shu called to Iger who walked into the office, "I hope you convene this meeting today, there should be important news to tell us!"

Looking at An Shu, Cronsol and others who were too lazy to greet him in the conference room, Kravis couldn't help but sighed that his era had indeed passed away quietly. Ten years ago, even the boss of Deutsche Bank, The president of Goldman Sachs did not dare to have any contempt for Kravis.

Pelle Greene glanced at Kravis and nodded to the "old man" rarely. Pelle Greene turned his eyes on Iger and Kravis a few times, feeling that America I am afraid that it will not be so simple for Telecom to find them for this meeting today.

  Iger could feel that the attitude of these people from Wall Street towards him, if Song Yang was here, An Shu and Pelle Greene would not dare to take such an attitude at all!

   "All of you are Telecom Americas, the most important collaborators. Before Song left New York, he agreed to an acquisition plan of Telecom Americas!" Iger pulled out Song Yang's banner.

   Hearing that Song Yang agreed to the acquisition plan, everyone in the small conference room immediately relaxed their ears, no matter how noisy the media was, but Wall Street was more and more chasing after Song Yang, without him, they could make money!

Counting down Song Yang's operations since his debut, whether it's establishing an Internet company or investing, he has never heard of a loss, but his net worth is snowballing. If you don't lose money, then Wall Street has always been a brainless pursuit!

  Iger glanced at Kravis, "KKR Group, is the investment advisor of America Telecom, this plan, the president of Kravis advises America Telecom."

   Hearing that the acquisition plan was formulated by KKR Group for America Telecom, at this time, the people from the three investment banks turned their attention to Kravis.

   "Our first plan for Telecom Americas is to rapidly expand our presence in America's telecom industry!"

  Kravis said, "WorldCom and MFS are in UUnet. The actual acquisition value of this company is not high. America Telecom is going to acquire another old telecom company."

Hearing that America Telecom acquired CompuServe and plans to split it later, Anshu, Cronsol, and Pelle Greene couldn't help but feel that **** is still old. This plan is a bit risky. From the point of view of investment bankers, this risk is nothing compared to the profit. There is really 300% of the benefit. They dare to sell the rope that hangs themselves, let alone this.

"CompuServe is the first company that Telecom America is about to acquire. In the future, Telecom America will have more acquisitions and investment plans. Director Bruno Song and Telecom America hope that Telecom America can have more cooperation with your investment bank! "

Iger drew another big pie and told An Shu and the others that this acquisition was just a test of the water, and they would play even more in the future, just to see if they could not get on the broken brake pads of the American Telecom, an unlicensed driver. car.

   "How much acquisition capital is needed, President Edison promised Bruno Song, and Deutsche Bank Investment Bank will support him."

An Shu's answer was very straightforward, and he directly pulled Edison out. Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is here to be a scumbag. Investing in American Telecom is to let the whole of America know that Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is doing something, not bad. Money, everyone who wants to do things comes to Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, Deutsche Bank can't wait to invest some money, American Telecom and WorldCom and other companies, it's good to have a dog's brain, even if they lose money, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is happy!

  Pellet Greene and Kronthor did not speak, but looked at Iger. The investment bank they were in was not as carefree as Deutsche Bank.

   "The capital required for the acquisition is about one billion dollars, and the use time is about two months." Kravis said on the side.

   "KKR Group is willing to provide about 20% of the funds for this acquisition!" Kravis said firstly, this is to tell Anshu that KKR Group is not afraid of it, what are they afraid of?

  The person representing Bank of Comerica also said at this time, "Bank of Comerica is willing to provide a 10% loan for the acquisition plan."

   Invested in Song Yang and made such a big profit in America Telecom. In the future, there will be double-click, ICQ and other projects. Now Comerica Bank is definitely on Song Yang's side, and it wants people to ask for money.

  KKR Group and Comerica Bank, which is equivalent to 30% of the acquisition funds raised by American Telecom, and the rest will be provided by Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch.

  Anshu Jain looked around the conference room, thought for a moment, and then said directly, "Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is willing to bear 30% of the acquisition funds!"

  The Deutsche Bank investment bank, which is rich and not bad at all, does not expect to make much money from investing in this acquisition. As long as it can increase its popularity, it is enough.

After Anshu spoke, Kronsol said ahead of Pellet Greene, "I need to report this matter to Director Stan O'Neill, but Merrill is willing to cooperate with America Telecom. If the Merrill board of directors can agree, we will Willingness to fund 10% of the mortgage.”

No way, compared to Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs, the days of Merrill Lynch Investment Bank were very tight, and it was impossible to spend too much money to accompany the American Telecom wave, just 10%, 100 million US dollars of funds Merrill Lynch estimated that it would have to sign a lot of mortgage agreements with America Telecom before it dared to give money to America Telecom.

  Pellet Greene glanced at Cronsol, wondering how Merrill got into this field, he almost lost the face of Wall Street!

   "The rest of the acquisition funds will be provided by Goldman Sachs!" Pelle Greeni said, showing the style of the largest investment bank on Wall Street.

  Iger was relieved when he heard this. This was the first fire he lit after he took office as the head of America Telecom. It depends on the effect.

  In the cafe on the campus of San Jose University, Song Yang, who had just finished playing tennis with his mentor Albert, came to this small cafe together.

In the cafe, a little old man was drinking coffee happily, and looked out from time to time with deep eyes. If he only looked at this picture, if it was taken with a camera, those who saw this picture would think it was this picture. The person in the photo is a highly respected and knowledgeable old scholar who is thinking about an important topic...

   But, I would never have imagined that it was this little old man who appeared on the stage yesterday, and once again staged the drama of tearing up the debate guests by hand, and bragging about Song Yang on TV.

   "As long as Bruno Song is there, America Telecom will be the most valuable telecom company in the world. I have to say that the Telephone and Telegraph Group has made the most correct decision in the past 100 years!"

   The person who said this was naturally Professor Tristan, Song Yang's nominal spiritual mentor, sitting in the coffee shop today.

As the number one "Song" in America's academic industry, since Song Yang's debut, Tristan has spared no effort in touting Song Yang. It is no exaggeration to say that most of Song Yang's current fame comes from Terry Tristan blew out the names of "America's New Generation Internet Leader", "Founder of Internet Advertising", "Let the Internet Enter a New Era", "Silicon Valley Genius", "The Godfather of Modern E-mail" and so on. For the first to blow out.

Of course, Tristan is not at a loss. As Song Yang became more and more famous and his value became higher and higher, Tristan was also named as the most discerning scholar in America, and he also wore it on his head. Not to mention that Song Yang just last month raised another three million dollars for his lab, which he had been researching for ten years, but had not yet developed a single one.

It can be said that the two years since Song Yang's debut have been the most glorious two years for Tristan, coupled with his increasingly sturdy fighting power, he often speaks wildly for Song Yang, and sets up various Song Yangs for Song Yang. I don’t even dare to stand up for the flag myself. Now all major TV stations are willing to invite Tristan to appear on the show, and newspapers are also willing to interview him to see what he thinks about the Internet industry, which newcomers he has discovered, and so on.

   Yesterday, Tristan was on the TV station and sprayed all the guests of the show for the sake of America Telecom. Those guests thought that America Telecom, which Song Yang used to make money, was a complete scam.

Professor Tristan was not happy about this. He turned his fire on the opposite side, and released the words that as long as Song Yang was there, America Telecom would be the most worthy telecom company in America. America Telecom is redefining the telecommunications industry. In a word, in Tristan's eyes, America does not "know" the telecommunications industry better than Song Yang, and being able to restructure with America Telecom is a blessing for the Telephone and Telegraph Group after more than a hundred years of repairs...

   Tristan, sitting in the coffee shop, is still reminiscing about yesterday's sparring. Since unlocking this new skill, Tristan feels that it is much more comfortable than doing research and development!

   "Professor Tristan!"

   Song Yang called to Tristan after entering the coffee shop.
