Chapter 929 Thirty Years Hexi
Considering General Electric's current size of more than US$400 billion, raising more than US$30 billion is not a big deal, nor does it transfer too many properties.
It sounds scary, 30 to 40 billion US dollars in cash, but it is mostly based on GE's reputation and equity as collateral, issuing a large amount of new shares and bonds, and borrowing a sum from the bank to allow GE to
Electric raises $35 billion in cash!
Regardless of banks, Wall Street institutions, overseas consortiums, or Leeks, no one has ever worried about GE not being able to repay its accounts. In fact, Welch has led GE to a high level over the past few decades.
, with a yearly revenue of hundreds of billions of dollars, and profits that are astonishingly high. Even if Inmelt messes up, with General Electric’s ability to make money, it won’t be a problem to pay back the money!
As a result, the large amount of stocks and bonds raised by General Electric were recognized as "high-quality assets", and all parties were snapping up them. On the day of Yinmelt's inauguration dinner, this large amount of US dollars had already been sold.
After all the funds were raised, most of them were taken away by banks, Wall Street institutions, overseas foundations, consortiums, etc. The leeks worth less than 10 million did not grab many chips.
Seeing that Immelt raised US$35 billion in cash as soon as he took office, the outside world couldn't help but speculate on what big project Immelt wanted to launch.
Now the General Electric board of directors, as well as various investors, are eagerly looking forward to Inmelt. Welch is obviously very incorruptible. He bought Honeywell and spent so long without getting it. On the other hand,
Immelt, on his side, created a giant company with a market value of US$300-400 billion while talking and laughing, making GE shareholders make a lot of money.
Now, all parties at GE are looking forward to the next three things Immelt will do. Everyone believes that Immelt will lead GE to new heights, far beyond what was achieved in the Welch era.
the height of!
Song Yang saw that General Electric had raised such a large amount of money in less than a week, and felt the strength of the world's largest company. It really took a few days to make a difference.
, Yin Melt was about to personally deliver this beautiful sword to Song Yang.
In a quiet manor in Connecticut, armed Blackwater security personnel patrol the outside of the manor from time to time. The manor is located in the cover of a large forest, and is somewhat surrounded by people. There are no cars.
The artistic conception of Ma Xuan.
This is also a real estate in Song Yang, which was calculated when companies such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and General Electric acquired the equity of Song Yang ICQ. Now there are dozens of states in America. Song Yang can’t say that he has real estate, but every
The state capital must have properties belonging to the North American Global Investment Fund.
Now the North American Global Investment Foundation has established a special housing management company to manage these properties all over the world. The locations are excellent and the environment is good. They will be preserved for Song Yang and Bruno family members to live in when they are on vacation.
, the rest will be packaged or rented for sale.
Irene curled up lazily in Song Yang's arms. Here, she didn't have to worry about being photographed by the media and reporters, causing a scandal or even a scandal that shocked Wall Street, America, and the technology circle.
It's not that rumors about the affair between Aileen and Song Yang have never been spread. They were even speculated and reported by tabloids a few years ago. However, there are some things that were reported in rumors and caught on camera.
They are completely two different things.
Lying in Song Yang's arms, Irene glanced at the newspaper in Song Yang's hand and knew that Yin Melt raised such a large sum of money to acquire Song Yang's equity.
Looking at the various complicated documents sent by ICQ management, Irene was a little uninterested. She knew that with Yinmelt's character, after becoming the absolute majority shareholder of ICQ, sooner or later, she would break with Irene, or...
We also have to take away the position of ICQ president.
"I will resign as president of ICQ before the third quarter results are released this year!"
After processing a few emails, Irene suddenly stood up and said directly to Song Yang, regardless of the beautiful scenery in front of her.
Eileen is also betting. According to the data collected from various aspects, ICQ's performance this year is definitely not much better. If Yinmelt and General Electric really want to take away her position as CEO of ICQ, they will definitely take away the performance.
Talk about things.
Instead of being kicked out, Eileen decided that she would be the first to resign. Anyway, she would never take the blame. If she takes the blame for ICQ's declining performance, or even collapses a big pot like ICQ, then Eileen's career will basically be over!
Eileen decided to follow Song Yang's strategy of retreating to advance, leaving ICQ first, and when the time was right, she would then use Song Yang's support to return to ICQ. By then, she would be able to do what Steve Jobs did when he returned to Apple.
Let’s do it all over again and bloodbath the ICQ board of directors and management!
Song Yang looked at the resolute face of Irene and knew that she had made up her mind. With Irene's professionalism and character, it was basically a desperate decision to make such a decision.
After laughing, Song Yang looked at Erin and said, "It's good to take a break. The North American Global Investment Fund is preparing to invest in a new company, Google, to enter the search industry. If you are interested, you can join this company!
"
With Erin's qualifications, it is more than enough to take charge of Google. With Erin's current reputation, connections, and influence, how far behind is Eric Schmidt?!
Erin is now the "Queen of the Internet", with a very glamorous resume and a lot of titles on her head. She has worked for two Internet companies, Double Click and ICQ, and served as the secretary-general of the American Internet Advertising Association. She is still the president of the American Internet Association.
One of the chairman of the board of directors, looking at the entire Silicon Valley and technology industry, is qualified to be on an equal footing with Bill Gates of Microsoft, Case of AOL, the president of IBM, CEOs of Cisco, Intel, etc.
If he landed at Google, it would be like Bill Gates personally becoming the president of an Internet start-up company. Regardless of how much success Bill Gates has left, who would dare to object to this Internet company?!
The same goes for Aileen. Google, including the two founders, can only welcome it with both hands. There is no way to object. Once Aileen announces this decision, no matter what the Internet market is, Google will be fine.
Becoming a new star in Silicon Valley in an instant is a complete dimensionality reduction!
"Google?"
Irene became interested when she heard that Song Yang was rare and wanted to invest in a new Internet company. However, the current ICQ had many constraints, and Irene couldn't help but miss the past days.
After making up her mind, and looking at the documents about wrangling and fighting for power, Irene's mentality suddenly changed a bit. General Electric, Comcast, and Goldman Sachs' Wall Street want more rights, so Irene will give it to them, even if
After destroying ICQ, Irene didn't have much to worry about. Anyway, she had decided to leave the mess to Yinmelt.
But if Irene still has a chance to return to ICQ, then these people who have struggled today are all on the blacklist and will be kicked out by Irene!
Compared with Welch's retirement dinner a few days ago, today's celebration to celebrate Immelt's ascension to the head of General Electric was obviously much bigger, both in terms of the line-up of guests who came to congratulate him, and the
General Electric's response was obviously much higher.
The person in charge of the Commander-in-Chief's office took a special plane early and arrived in Connecticut with a big fanfare and a handwritten letter from the Commander-in-Chief and his wife. Except that the Commander-in-Chief and his wife did not come in person, the rest of the cards were already full. It can be seen that
General Electric and Yinmelt attach great importance to it.
Congressmen on Capitol Hill, governors of American states, and state legislators, especially those states that wanted GE to move its headquarters there, were particularly active, and they all sent a large team this time.
Not to mention the state of Connecticut, today the state still has city television stations and media. The most important thing is to report on Immelt's appointment.
On Wall Street, there are countless major banks, investment banks, and institutions. No institution on Wall Street wants to offend General Electric. Today can be said to be the most glorious moment for General Electric in the past ten years, and it is also Yin Mei's.
The pinnacle of Walter's career!
The limelight today belongs to Yin Melt. Anyone with any brains knows this. Therefore, the people present, whether they are high-ranking congressmen or CEOs of large groups, are basically like Song Yang and Irene.
Just like that, he hurriedly entered the banquet hall without making any shocking remarks.
But when Song Yang and Irene were about to enter the banquet hall, the arrival of a person broke everything.
Chapter completed!
