Faced with Brian Roberts' provocation, Song Yang said righteously and solemnly that everything was for ICQ. For ICQ, Song Yang could give up the equity of ICQ, give up his identity as the major shareholder, and give up his seat on the board of directors.

General Electric, everything is for ICQ to become an empire in the Internet industry!

Brian Roberts was choked up and speechless by Song Yang's words. If Song Yang hadn't desperately cashed out ICQ stocks at a high price, he might have really believed this nonsense.

When an empire emerges, someone must sacrifice. ICQ was established by Song Yang. In order for Song Yang to become an empire, it seems reasonable for Song Yang to be willing to tolerate it. However, Brian Roberts has studied Song Yang specifically, and he knows Song Yang.

In the past, my character and style of doing things were always worth every penny and I would not suffer any losses. This can be seen from the time when I hunted down those Wall Street short-sellers at Double Click Company!

In the past, American companies, even giant companies, TWA, Phillips Petroleum, etc., have been short-selling or hostile takeovers. In the end, they all swallowed their anger and sued for peace, but only when they came to Song Yang, they directly hunted down a bunch of arrogant Wall Street people.

Short institutions.

After that battle, for at least a few years, the short sellers on Wall Street did not dare to provoke Song Yang, and even benefited the entire Internet sector, for fear of encountering the second Double Click Company.

From that incident, Brian Roberts can see Song Yang's character. Now Song Yang threatens to give in at every turn in order for ICQ to become an empire, showing the image of a good old man who believes in men and women. This is different from Brian Roberts.

The difference between Song Yang in my impression is really huge.

"Is it?!"

Brian Roberts stared closely at Song Yang, "Before coming here this time, my father, Roberts Sr., told me that there are some things that until the last moment, you can't tell who is the winner, and you won't know who it is.

In the fruit swim!”

Facing Brian Roberts' gaze, Song Yang said noncommittally, "To be very philosophical, say hello to Mr. Roberts for me. He is the person I respect the most, and he is the same figure as Welch."

Just as he finished speaking, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and an assistant came in, asking Song Yang and Brian Roberts to go to the conference room. Brian Roberts had no choice but to get up.

The conference room was full. In order to show his status and not be suppressed by ICQ and General Electric, little Edgar brought half the people in the conference room to the meeting.

Yin Melt sat at the head of the conference room without hesitation. Irene used to sit in that seat, but this time it was Yin Melt. Regarding this scene, Irene did not look abnormal and sat down casually.

Next to Song Yang.

For Brian Roberts, as well as Anshu Jain who came on behalf of Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs representative Pellegrini, a vice president of Telephone and Telegraph Group and others who were present, when they saw this scene, they

Some thoughts inevitably arise, and we all know that this means that General Electric has the upper hand on the ICQ board of directors!

After sitting down, Yinmelt looked around the conference room. The entire conference room immediately became quiet. Momentum was a very mysterious thing that could not be seen or even touched, but everyone seemed to be able to feel it.

When a person is in a high position or surrounded by power, even sitting there can be intimidating, or it can be said to be an alternative ability to control the field.

Inmelt, who has just become the head of General Electric and the major shareholder of ICQ, is undoubtedly at the most powerful moment in his life. Even the people in the conference room and the companies they represent do not want to confront Inmelt head-on.

.

"I'm glad you are here. In the name of the ICQ board of directors and the major shareholder General Electric, I would like to thank you all for coming!

But before the meeting starts, I have something else to announce!"

When Brian Roberts heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked in the direction of Song Yang unconsciously. Among all the major shareholders of ICQ, he felt that Song Yang was the one most likely to cause trouble.

No one else.

Yinmelt took a document from the hands of General Electric's legal president and showed it gently. His tone was not serious, but it was like a thunder, making Brian Roberts, Anshu Jain, and Pei

Lai Greene was shocked.

“ICQ will always remember what Director Bruno Song has done for ICQ, and no one can erase his achievements in ICQ!

General Electric and Mr. Bruno Song have reached a new agreement, and the North American Global Investment Fund will transfer 9% of ICQ’s equity to General Electric!”

"funk!"

Brian Roberts was shocked by this sudden news and was still a little dazed. Anshu Jain on the side couldn't help but cursed, and then hurried out and went to the headquarters of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank and Addison.

Report, Pellegrini and others also made the same move.

Brian Roberts guessed that Song Yang was going to cause trouble, but he never expected that he would be able to do so brilliantly and directly hand over the equity, making General Electric the major shareholder of ICQ.

What does it mean to obtain this 9% stake in ICQ? General Electric has become the absolute majority shareholder holding 28% of ICQ's shares. With the current market value of ICQ, it is difficult to have a major shareholder holding 51% of the shares. Who can spend more than 2,000

US$100 million to acquire ICQ equity?!

If GE can obtain about 30% of the equity, it will actually be able to completely control the ICQ board of directors and dominate ICQ.

Reluctantly glanced at Yin Melt, who was confident of winning, and then glanced at Song Yang, who was talking to Irene in a low voice with a smile on his face. Brian Roberts sighed helplessly, he knew that Kang

The Custer Group's desire to control ICQ can no longer be realized.

Sitting in the conference room, Edgar Bronfman Jr. looked happy. General Electric has become the absolute majority shareholder of ICQ. This is the merger of General Electric and the Bronfman Group. As long as Immelt is willing,

Then no one can oppose this merger!

What surprised Edgar Bronfman Jr. the most was that he still didn’t know what method Yinmelt used to allow Song Yang to give up so much equity. After the merger was completed, if he could acquire more

As for part of the ICQ equity, little Edgar feels that the ICQ equity held by the Bronfman family may not be less than that of Song Yang!

Paulson, the boss of Goldman Sachs, Edison, the president of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, and others also quickly received the call. When they heard that Song Yang had sold such a large amount of equity to General Electric, both of them couldn't help but be a little surprised.

.

Paulson, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, calmed down first, remained silent for a moment, and said coldly to Pellegrini, "I understand!"

Hearing Paulson's simple response without any instructions, Pellegrini didn't know what Paulson meant, whether he supported or opposed it, which made him somewhat confused.

"Now ICQ is in the hands of Inmelt, so just do what he says!"

After Paulson responded coldly, he hung up the phone. When he returned to the conference room, Pellegrini met Addison's henchman Anshu Jain and saw him with the same expression.

The look on the face showed that Deutsche Bank Investment Bank had no idea about this matter, and ICQ was basically left to Immelt and General Electric.

Paulson and Addison disliked each other, and as two scumbags, Pellegrini and Anshu Jain, their relationship was naturally not much better. They glanced at each other and left with a straight face.

Entered the conference room.

Pellegrini was a little envious of Anshu Jain. As a loser, he heard that Anshu Jain had been assigned to important departments by Edison, and was even vaguely expected to become the No. 1 employee of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank.

The second candidate for the top job, Pellegrini still doesn’t know when he will become an executive chairman of Goldman Sachs, and it is even more certain that he will join the board of directors...

After hanging up the phone, Paulson took a deep breath and picked up the performance reports of major Internet companies from various departments of Goldman Sachs. ICQ, AOL, Yahoo, Lycos, Amazon and other well-known Internet companies this year.

Performances are all clearly listed. These data are not the rough, tampered, and incomprehensible performance reports for leeks, but the most authentic performance reports of major companies.

It may even be more comprehensive and real than what the boards of directors of major Internet companies have seen!
