Chapter 930
Taking advantage of the situation
"There are rumors that major changes may occur at General Electric!"
“GE’s woes may be solved!”
"General Electric may have found a new partner to provide funding!"
There is no shortage of gossip in the investment industry, especially the stock market. Sometimes it may be spread out to trick Leek into taking over the market, and some may be far ahead of the predictions.
Today, there is a lot of gossip about General Electric. It is not revealed by the major mainstream media newspapers on Wall Street. It is reported first by some tabloid media and website financial channels. They don't care whether the news is true or not.
Let the news come out first, then newspaper sales and click-through rates are king. These gossips have slightly boosted General Electric's stock price.
However, most media reports on General Electric are that there are consortiums, banks, and investment institutions that are willing to provide ammunition for General Electric to tide over the difficulties. As for cutting General Electric's leek, no one dares to think about it. After all, General Electric
In the eyes of countless people, it is a behemoth. Who dares to cut GE's leek?
Today, the General Electric headquarters was extremely depressed. Even ordinary employees did not know what was going on, but some abnormalities could be seen on the tense faces of department managers and board members.
Song Yang, a team composed of Kravis, Gleick, Marcus and others, entered the General Electric headquarters and felt a completely different style from Silicon Valley. General Electric's headquarters is basically what everyone has in mind.
The style of a traditional large company is strict and orderly. Everyone is dressed in formal clothes. There is absolutely no such thing as bringing pets to work or keeping plants on the desk. There is no soil for personal style here.
"Song, I'm glad you can come here, albeit in this way!"
When Immelt saw Song Yang, he stared at Song Yang for a long time, and finally maintained his grace and extended his hand to Song Yang.
Compared to the forced smile on Immelt's face, Song Yang's expression was much more relaxed.
"President Immelt, I said I would come here to visit you personally. Today, I am here..."
With a smile on his face, Song Yang said to Immelt that Immelt's gentlemanly demeanor could no longer be maintained at this time. Listening to Song Yang's words, he inexplicably recalled the famous saying of Caesar, the Italian ancestor:
"I come, I see, I conquer……"
Countless prey have fallen under Caesar's clear words. Now that Immelt is listening to these words, he feels like General Electric has become Song Yang's prey.
Song Yang looked at Immelt's face, which changed several times in an instant, and then returned to calm. Song Yang had to admit that Immelt's city was indeed deep.
Song Yang really wanted to anger Immelt. For this kind of transaction negotiation involving more than tens of billions of dollars, one mistake may cost billions of dollars. It is not an exaggeration to use small means. Compared with Wall Street,
The methods used by those old foxes were nothing to Song Yang.
After taking a deep look at Song Yang, Immelt took a deep breath and became a gentleman again. He smiled and said to Song Yang, "Song, if you are interested, I can take you to visit the major departments of General Electric.
It’s just that your trip may take a few more days!”
Immelt also calmly flexed his muscles and told Song Yang that even if General Electric is in trouble now, it is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse. If you want to visit General Electric, it will cost a few dollars.
It only takes a few days...
Song Yang laughed and stopped provoking Immelt. If he continued to prod Immelt, I'm afraid there would be no need to talk about it today.
Kravis, Greco, Marcus and others looked at Song Yang and Immelt who were stumbling over each other. The inexplicable worries about General Electric in their hearts disappeared. General Electric is indeed a behemoth.
It's true, but a phoenix that has lost its feathers is not as good as a chicken. Although its feathers have grown back, it is still a phoenix. But now General Electric is the phoenix that has lost its feathers. It is just not as good as a chicken...
After entering the conference room, a group of General Electric executives sat down and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. In the past, they were the ones sitting at the negotiation table for acquisition opponents, but this time it was the other way around. For a while, they felt a little uncomfortable.
Adapting to it is a bit frustrating.
Song Yang looked at the scene in front of him and felt that after this time, General Electric should probably adapt. After all, the good times are still to come. From now on, if he doesn't sell some of his wealth every year, he probably won't be used to it until he is kicked out of the Dow Jones Index.
Only those in the electric industry will really recognize the reality and know that the era of General Electric is over, and that the old empire of General Electric has been torn apart!
As the "acquirer", Marcus was the first to speak, "We all know the current situation of General Electric. The North American Global Investment Foundation and the Bruno Family Foundation are very willing to provide necessary support to General Electric. After all, General Electric once had a relationship with the Bruno family.
, fight side by side in ICQ together..."
Marcus said it with an awe-inspiring righteousness, as if everything was for General Electric. This was Marcus's "subtle influence" and the influence of Song Yang. He wanted to be famous, unlike Wall Street, which was too ugly and too miserable.
People hate it, and word spreads that it has a bad reputation.
"GE's difficulties are only temporary. As long as there is a cash flow, GE can return to normal!"
A General Electric executive couldn't help but said at this time, looking at Song Yang with a bit of anger, obviously feeling that Song Yang was taking advantage of the situation.
After coughing, GE board member Larry Culp, who attended the meeting today, also said to Song Yang with some warning, "Song, you know, GE will never fall this time. As long as after the election,
Commander-in-Chief, the federal finance will provide guarantee for General Electric..."
"What if the commander-in-chief doesn't save General Electric?!"
At this time, a sound suddenly came out, causing the entire conference room to fall silent for a moment. Larry Culp and other GEs all looked in the direction of the speaker. When they saw it was Song Yang, Larry Culp opened his mouth.
, wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that Song Yang was the largest individual financial backer of the Xiang Party, and he was speechless for a while.
GE has always been counting on federal funds to help GE, and has never worried about whether it will be saved. After all, GE is too big, with hundreds of thousands of employees, the livelihood of millions of families, pensions, and...
There are many states that rely on GE for employment, etc. As long as their brains are not cramped, the leaders and members of Congress will not abandon GE.
But now Song Yang's words made all the GE executives present feel a tremble in their hearts. If the Elephant Party really wins this election, then according to the little cowboy's past style, maybe he can actually do it.
With the death of General Electric happening, if someone else stirs up trouble and stirs up public opinion...
The probability of this happening is very low, but it is by no means impossible. It is not easy to accomplish something, but it should not be too easy to hold back.
At this time, Immelt's expression finally changed, and the look he looked at Song Yang became vaguely unkind. Song Yang also looked at Immelt calmly and fearlessly. At this time, he was not merciful at all.
At this time, if you want to suppress the behemoth General Electric, you must have sufficient means.
Immelt looked at Song Yang. He felt that Song Yang might be really capable of lobbying the commander-in-chief and Capitol Hill. If he didn't save GE, GE would really die, and Song Yang might take even more things!
Now Immelt understands why Welch was willing to help Song Yang as a lobbyist this time. He really saw GE's troubles and even the possibility of collapse.
"what do you want?!"
After a long silence, Immelt finally calmly asked Song Yang directly, "This means that Immelt finally lowered his head. Even if he doesn't agree to Song Yang's conditions this time, so what?"
After GE's hindrance, it probably still needs to be negotiated, and the price may be even higher at that time.
Marcus, Greco, and Kravis looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Immelt would bow his head and give in so quickly. They thought that Immelt was going to make a lot of trouble.
"The North American Global Investment Fund is willing to acquire a controlling stake in ICQ Group, General Electric's security and defense industry, Baker Hughes Energy Company, and the engine department..."
The lion opened his mouth, and every word Kravis said made the hearts of the GE executives tremble, and Immelt's face became a little darker.
