The autumn mood is strong and the sun is just right.

Autumn is the most brilliant and pure. The vast golf course blends beautifully with the beautiful nature, which is one of the important reasons why so many people love golf. In the picturesque scenery, it is both a game and a body and soul journey.

"boom!"

Jeff watched the golf ball hit by his swing, slowly retracted the club, and smiled at Andy and Warren aside: "This is the only time in two months that I can relax and play well. Golf.

So far this year, shares have shrunk by about 42% due to concerns that GE may not be able to control itself in this turbulent market because of its size. We have lowered our earnings estimates twice. To be honest, the pressure is too great, and I'm a bit out of breath. "

Warren and Andy glanced at each other, and Andy knew the character of the goods in front of him, and even wanted to get nbc Universal from others, he would naturally do his best, and this goods is like to listen to good words, can Fudge, Andy wouldn't talk good words to the other party.

"GE is the representative of American companies to the world," Andy crouched, put the ball on the lawn, put on the golf ball, set his posture, looked down, and continued to laugh. "I admire you for having an excellent brand and business all over the world. I believe that General Electric will create glory in the next few years."

"boom!"

Andy swings and the golf ball draws a beautiful parabola to land. Jeff looks at the landing point and praises ‘good shot’ with a smile.

"The two investments will give our company strong financial support and help maintain the aaa credit rating." Jeff continued with a relaxed smile on his face. "It is expected that the market turmoil will continue for some time , But I remain confident in GE's next strategic plan. "

Warren Buffy nodded, and then said earnestly: "The most important thing is to shrink the front so as to focus on core business such as infrastructure. I know Welch is your mentor and friend, but his set of pursuit of short-term Earnings have exposed serious risks, and it is time for GM to return to its original track. "

Jeff's face changed slightly, his original smile slowly converged, and he was silent for a while, and finally had to shake his head and smile with a sigh, "I don't know this, but this is a very large project, and the pain will also It's painful!

At present, I can only go through the difficulties one by one. I plan to pull in Bank of America, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, j.p.mg, and mg Stanley to act as auxiliary account book managers.

Then slowly separated from the financial industry and some industries that do not match the main industry, only slowly. "

Andy and Warren glanced at each other, and they saw a glimmer of color in each other's eyes. While playing with the cue in his hand, Andy walked side by side with the two, and said abruptly: "Is GE considering selling? nbc Universal? "

"Of course ... huh?" Jeff blurted out without thinking, immediately aware of a weirdness, a slight frown, and a footstep, turning his head to look at Warren Buffett with a smile on his face and smiling An. Desmith, then thought of something ordinary, shook his head and laughed.

No one is surprised by Jeff's keen reaction. Anyone who can reach this status must really consider him a fool, that is really stupid. Andy and Warren look at each other and smile.

Warren took the lead in laughing: "Andy has always had the ambition of the media kingdom. This is no secret. This time your GE reform, Andy saw an opportunity to realize his dream. After all, nbc Universal has become GE A big burden, I feel it is a win-win situation, so I promised him a request to help you both match. "

Jeff looked at Andy Smith's young and handsome face with a smile and calmly smiled from beginning to end. He groaned and said, "We will not completely sell nbc Universal. Of course, I believe Andy you also Will not choose to completely annex nbc Universal, after all, it is not cheap! "

"Yes, I just need to control it. I do n’t exclude partners. As long as I am the leader, you need funds and I need to expand the territory. When the two exchange each other to achieve their respective goals, the transaction naturally occurs. It happened, didn't it? "Andy didn't hide his ambition and persistence, but directly pointed out his own bottom line.

Jeff narrowed his eyes, stared at Andy, and thought silently, while Warren Buffett looked at Jeff in the moan and said with a smile: "nbc Universal is now for General Electric Has become a white elephant. (Expensive and useless, American version of chicken ribs.) The parent company will not only get no benefit, it will also be dragged down by it. More importantly, including you and the board of directors, you really see nbc global. Is it important?

I am afraid that the energy and attention paid are not half that of the financial sector. Andy's ability is even more obvious. Look at the current AMC TV station. Since "Friends", nbc ... "

Speaking of which, Warren stopped in time, but shook his head with a sigh and disappointment, everything was silent.

"Like Warren said, I will let nbc Global return to its peak, not as it is now, or even be pushed down by Fox. I am Andy Smith, here ..." Andy pointed to his head, domineering The side leaker said: "There is never a shortage of gold ideas and good stories!"

"Hehe ..." Jeff shook his head and laughed, with a bit of bitterness, and he personally presided over the acquisition of nbc Universal, but now he still wants him to decide whether to change hands, and the mood is complicated. At that time, he was full of spirits, but now he is trying to survive.

"Hoo," Jeff took a deep breath, his complexion became serious, and he looked at Andy with unwilling concession. He said in a cold tone, "I will never agree that nbc Global is being sold cheaply! You If you want to, prepare yourself! "

Andy was delighted in his heart, but his face was very calm. He smiled and said lightly, "Tomorrow, my negotiating team will come to visit. So, should we shake hands and celebrate, happy cooperation?"

Looking at the handsome and indifferent face in front of him and the big hand that stretched out, Jeff reached out with a complex expression and clenched his hands. "Happy cooperation."

"Haha, congratulations on the two reaching a consensus, shouldn't we find a place to have a drink?" Warren Buffett proposed with a smile.

"It's a good idea," Andy smiled at Warren with thanks, then looked at Jeff.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Jeff looked at Warren and Andy, shook his head again and laughed, handed the cue to the caddy, and said before the sweeping dignity and complex mood ...

At the golf club's bar, Andy touched Warren with champagne and said, "Thank you."

Warren smiled and shook his head, raised his glass and drank. After that, the three began a more relaxed chat. Until about 4 pm, they were about to end the party, and the three who left each received a call at the same time.

Listening to the sound of the three mobile phones, the three of them immediately became dignified, looked at each other, and saw anxiety from each other's eyes. The three people present were not ordinary people and received a call at the same time, then it was true. Something big happened.

Sure enough, the three answered the phone and looked at each other with different expressions.

Just now, the mainstreet bank in Michigan declared bankruptcy and Washington Mutual Bank was seized and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (fdic).

"Oh, the turbulent financial market will be more tense now!" Jeff drank the red wine in the glass, stood up and looked at Andy and Warren with a grin: "This is to remind everyone, The worst financial crisis in decades has continued. Andy, let your people do not delay time with negotiation methods. Our two sides are open to talks. If possible, come up with a plan as soon as possible! Two people, let me take a step ... "

Looking at the back of Jeff's departure, Warren said solemnly to Andy: "It seems that these two news have a great impact on him."

Andy nodded. He was not surprised that the reciprocal bank had closed down. It could even be said that he had been looking forward to it, so that he could enjoy the food.

Warren Buffett looked at Andy with a smirk from the corner of his mouth, hesitated, then leaned forward, and the eyes behind the lens became dazzling. He stared at Andy and said in a low voice: " Washington Mutual Bank, you better not reach out, it's not worth ... "

Speaking of which, Warren stood up and didn't explain to Ando, ​​who was a little bit surprised, and frowned into a Sichuan word, reached out and patted Andy's shoulder, then left the bar with the bodyguard.
