Outside the icq office building, many media and reporters gathered. Although many media belonged to different media camps, they gathered together to talk at this time.

"I interviewed McNerney, and he mentioned that if he could not become the president of General Dynamics, he would choose to leave. Nardelli also made the same choice. Only Immelt chose to stay with General Dynamics forever!"

A reporter from a state newspaper from Virginia, General Dynamics' home state, was surrounded by a group of media colleagues and told some secrets. Welch once asked the three candidates for the top job if the competition failed.

When leaving General Dynamics, McNerney made it clear that he would leave. Nardelli hesitated but also said he would leave. Only Immelt said he would not leave.

"I heard that General Dynamics is negotiating with Honeywell?" Another reporter asked the Virginia reporter.

As soon as this issue came up, it instantly attracted the attention of countless people. Honeywell is a giant in European aviation engines. Every time Boeing makes an airplane, one-third of the parts are provided by Honeywell. It is also one of the world's leading aviation companies.

One of the major players in the engine field, General Dynamics and Honeywell have heard news that General Dynamics must be interested in acquiring the latter. If this happens, it will probably be another deal involving tens of billions of dollars.

The above shocking mergers and acquisitions!

Only General Motors and people like Welch have the courage to promote this kind of merger and acquisition of the century. No one else can complete it no matter what.

But regarding this matter, this state newspaper reporter who came from Virginia remained silent and never mentioned a word.

General Dynamics has been coveting Honeywell for a long time. This matter has long been no secret. Not only Honeywell, but also Rolls-Royce Aviation, Snakma, Turbomeca and other aviation engine giants, General Dynamics has

Interested in acquisition.

But this kind of thing does not lie with America, but with Europe. Although they have become America's little brother, Europe is still quite wary of the acquisition of companies like Honeywell, and does not want America's companies to

, the hand is stretched too long!

If General Dynamics wants to acquire Honeywell, it needs to get the approval of the European Trade Commission, otherwise it will be nothing. In this matter, this reporter from Virginia will not dare to spread the news casually. If it goes bad

I'm afraid Welch will really take care of General Dynamics' good deeds.

"Will there be any new news about icq and several investors this time?" The reporter from Virginia changed the topic and asked a group of colleagues. He mentioned these just now because of the investment from San Jose and San Francisco.

Ask for more information from these colleagues, otherwise why would he fly all the way here?

After icq's financing this time, Enron, General Dynamics, and Microsoft came to the scene, basically the media no longer worried about whether icq could get that sky-high investment. Instead, they wanted to know, icq this time,

Will there be more news?

"uncertain!"

A local reporter in San Jose looked up at the icq office building not far away. Since Song Yang arrived, he has contributed a lot of news and topics to the local media in San Jose.

"As long as Bruno Song thinks about it, there will be news. This time we have to see what Bruno Song wants!"

Hearing this, the media reporters present couldn't help but smile. This means that Song Yang's ability to do things is first-rate. As long as Song Yang wants to do things, he will definitely be able to do it. The entire Silicon Valley has already learned this.

In the conference room, after hearing that Irene and other icq executives introduced icq, Immelt suddenly asked Song Yang, "Song, what do you think of Internet media?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but look at Song Yang. General Dynamics owns the NBC media camp, which owns hundreds of large and small TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations, etc., and is a representative of the old traditional media.

And now Immelt suddenly asked Song Yang this kind of thing, which is somewhat meaningful. Brian Roberts also looked at Song Yang. Like General Dynamics, Comcast also has a television media camp, and it is Aramco.

One of the five largest cable TV operators in Liberia.

Now the media industry is also facing a choice. Portals represented by Yahoo are constantly challenging the status of traditional media. For NBC and Comcast's media, they are also faced with a choice: choose to get involved with the Internet, or choose to get involved with the Internet.

Keeping tradition and staying away from the Internet is still an option for them.

Song Yang faced Immelt, various thoughts flashed through his mind, but he did not stop saying, "The future belongs to the Internet, and paper media will eventually disappear!"

Song Yang's words made the entire conference room froze. This was absolutely shocking. Even in the current Internet industry, there are various provocations against traditional media, but the influence of paper media is still irreplaceable, but Song Yang said

If paper media disappears.

"Internet technology is constantly developing. In the future, there will be faster Internet speeds and more Internet software will appear. You should also know that America Telecom is promoting broadband services. Now America Telecom can support Internet online video services!

"

Regardless of the reaction of Immelt, Brian Roberts, and people at Microsoft, Song Yang continued, "Users now connected to America Telecom's broadband can already browse news smoothly, listen to music, and experience electronic shopping.

It won’t be long before I want more business experiences, games or...online videos!”

After hearing this, Immelt finally frowned. Internet speed is no longer a problem. If a computer can read news, listen to news, chat, play games, shop, watch TV series, etc., then traditional TV can provide

Channels are definitely not as good as computers, or even far inferior. At this time, for the first time, Immelt became worried about traditional media.

In recent years, life has not been easy for traditional media, whether it is NBC, ABC, CBS, or Time Warner, life has been miserable. Hooking up with the Internet to increase stock prices has become the only choice for many media companies.

NBC is certainly no exception.

"I think there will be opportunities for cooperation between icq and America Telecom, General Dynamics' NBC, and Comcast's TV channels in the future!"

Song Yang glanced at Immelt and Brian Roberts, and said in a joking tone, "America Telecom can provide broadband lines, ICQ has Internet users, NBC, Comcast TV channels and media content, if we cooperate

, it will be a traditional media group that spans the Internet, icq can obtain media content, and NBC and Comcast can complete the Internet!"

Even though it was said in a joking tone, many people in the conference room were shocked when they heard these words and almost jumped up. Microsoft's Greg Maffei and Jeff Skilling, who were originally planning to watch the show, were shocked.

, their faces changed drastically.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. What would happen if America Telecom, ICQ, NBC, and Comcast were to join forces to form a new giant spanning the Internet and media industries? Greg Ma

Neither Fei nor Fei dared to imagine it, but at least it was a big deal involving tens of billions of dollars, or even hundreds of billions of dollars!

Song Yang glanced at the faces of everyone in the conference room, focusing on their expressions, especially those of Brian Roberts and Immelt.

What he just said was not all "unintentional words". In fact, he was trying to find out whether Comcast and NBC were willing to accept cooperation from Internet companies, or even a merger!

Why can AOL be revitalized, acquire Time Warner, and have a wave of mergers and acquisitions of the century, including America Telecom and ICQ, why can't they do another wave?

After AOL acquired Time Warner, it directly raised the market value to 350 billion U.S. dollars. Not to mention challenging AOL, America Telecom plus icq, if it merges with NBC and Comcast's TV network,

Does that mean we can also create a big wave?

Once this merger deal is completed, I am afraid it will not be as big as the one caused by AOL and Time Warner. I dare not say that it will also increase the market value of the merged company to 300 billion U.S. dollars, with 200 billion U.S. dollars.

The market value of the US knife is enough for Song Yang to cash out...

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed. If you want to complete mergers and acquisitions of various sizes, there are many companies involved, as well as several major departments such as the Communications Commission and the Trade Commission, which also need to be cleared in the same way.

For example, in order to complete the merger and acquisition of Time Warner, AOL spent nearly 200 million US dollars in consulting fees alone, enriched a lot of Wall Street companies, and a group of banks behind the scenes also participated, and the merger was completed.

If America Telecom wants to play AOL's game, it will also have a long way to go. It must first go public with ICQ and raise the stock price crazily, then go to Wall Street institutions, banks, and finally start with General Dynamics' NBC and Comcast's TV network.

Only if the merger can be completed within two or three years, and if the merger is completed during the craze of the Internet, can we explain it.

Before coming here, Immelt, who originally just wanted to test the waters and didn't think much about it, heard such harsh words at this time, which made him unable to control himself even though he was used to strong winds and waves.

What echoed in my mind were Song Yang's words just now. What would happen if ICQ, America Telecom, NBC, and Comcast TV networks merged together?

The merged company has the largest broadband line in America, the top five cable TV networks, NBC, the number one commercial TV station, and more than 30 million ICQ users. All added together, it is simply a buff.

Even General Dynamics may have to consider this behemoth if it doesn't want to be sought after by Nasdaq and Wall Street.
