American Fortune Life
Chapter 1377: Anti-General
New York State, "No matter who you are, only guests brought by members can play here." The United States National Golf Course has beautiful scenery and more importantly, has a strong private space for members.
Andy came down from the helicopter, lowered his figure slightly, his windbreaker was blown by the wind that propelled the propeller, and hurried toward the club's luxury manor.
In front of the gate of the manor, GE's ceo Jeff Immelt stood behind his classmates, watching Andy Smith with a group of tall horses and cold-faced bodyguards walking up with a smile on his face, with a faint smile on his face. , Reached out and greeted him.
"Sorry, Jeff, has kept you waiting." Andy shook handshake without apologizing.
"No, I just arrived, please ... By the way, what about your gear?" Jeff couldn't help seeing Andy with his golf equipment and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I won't fight today. Let's find a place to talk about the business directly. To be honest, I'm too busy now. I only have one hour. There will be a meeting in a while ..."
Andy shook his head with a chuckle, and said directly when he opened the door that he didn't have time to spend time with the other side.
Jeff Immelt twitched obviously at the corners of his mouth, his expression changed, and eventually an ugly and helpless smile was squeezed out. He said, "Your recent writing is not small, and you have successively acquired the Miami Herald and Los Angeles. The Times and Starbucks are really busy. "
"Who said no, this is not the case, the meeting was to determine the acquisition of the Yellowstone Club, hey, no way, the financial turmoil caused the dollar to depreciate, and I had to exchange cash for assets as soon as possible." Andy nodded very agreeably. Helplessly smiled bitterly.
Jeff Immelt twitched his entire skin this time, with an inexplicable envy and jealousy in his heart.
During the talk, the two walked into the club side by side. Under the guidance of the waiter, they came to the viewing platform on the second floor, surrounded by flowers, a round table and chairs in the middle. After the two sat down, the waiter was fast. Here are two cups of steaming coffee.
啧啧 ——
"The coffee here is good." After Andy took a sip of the coffee, the corners of his mouth slightly tilted, smirking and sighing, looking at Jeff Immelt who nodded and continued to laugh: "I'm still a little embarrassed to say it. Yes, to be honest, I did not expect that the termination of the negotiations would have such a big impact on you. Hey, the impact of the financial turmoil is too great, I do n’t know when it will rag.
Fortunately, now we are also partners now, and I believe that nbc Global will come out of the trough with the cooperation of our two parties. "
"Oh ..." Jeff Immelt lowered his left hand under the table, clenched his fists, and then let go again, his face grinning with a grin, grinning twice, and looking at the sincere Andy Smith face. , Can't wait to punch this hypocritical and handsome face.
Suppressing the inner sorrow and anger, Jeff secretly exhaled, condensed the smirk on his face, and said with a serious expression, "Andy, let me say it straight, nbc Universal. Are you still interested in acquiring? "
Andy seemed to be stunned for a while, then his eyes met Jeff, and then the corners of his mouth slowly began to rise, a smile appeared on his face, and a chuckle.
"Oh, of course I'm interested, but I'm afraid I can't make a full acquisition, not that much money."
Andy spread his hands helplessly, and a distressed helpless expression appeared on his face.
Jeff Immelt sneered, his expression did not change at all, sharp eyes and Andy looked at each other with a smile, and then smiled slightly: "$ 17 billion, nbc Universal is yours!"
Andy's pupils shrunk slightly, the smile on his face dissipated, his face looked at the smile on Jeff Immelt's face lightly, and said lightly: "I don't have that much money, if I can, I feel that the merger and acquisition Is the best solution ... "
"No, no, Andy, our board of directors has decided that ge will listen to investors' suggestions and start reforms. 80% of nbc Global's shares will be sold at one time. As friends, of course, the main thing is our There are also agreement constraints, so we would like to ask your intention first.
If you are not interested, we will announce to find new buyers. You also know that Comcast Group is very interested in acquiring nbc Universal, not to mention the price, it is really very cheap, I believe it will There are many people interested. "
Listening to Jeff Immelt's words and looking at his smiling expression, Andy frowned slightly, but quickly stretched out, although the expression on his face didn't change much, but his heart was secretly hated.
Apparently, this is not good intentions of the other party. Whether it is using Andy's own cash to complete the acquisition or leveraged acquisition, neither is Andy's desire.
Using his own cash acquisition, this will undoubtedly disrupt his subsequent acquisition plan, cut his cash flow directly in half, and acquire Qualcomm's plan, there may be some risks.
The use of leveraged acquisitions, which originally had a debt of US $ 5.1 billion, will undoubtedly increase the number of nbc global's liabilities after the debt acquisition. This will, for a long time, nbc global not bring its own income.
Slightly squinting his eyes, his mouth slightly tilted, and his sneer Jeff Immelt looked at Andy Smith's entangled gaze. He was very relaxed. To be honest, he hadn't used this young man for a long time. Vice Chengzhu's arrogant look in the chest.
Aren't you king of cash?
Aren't you ambitious?
Aren't you buying with cash everywhere?
Just look at it, after draining your cash flow, will you still be so crazy!
"Oh, the number of this deal is too big, and to be honest, I need to think about it ..."
"No problem!" Jeff Immelt, with a calm look, said with a calm smile, interrupting Andy's words, and then looked at Andy with a hint of jokes and continued to laugh: "But, You also know that the current stock price of our company is too low, and investors are constantly complaining. The board hopes to boost the stock price by selling nbc global, so there is not much time left for me, three days, I will give you Three days of consideration and preparation time.
Andy, I very much hope that we can conclude this transaction. I'll wait for your good news. That's it. I won't delay your time. I'll wait for your call. . . "
Jeff Immelt had a very happy and bright smile on his face, and stretched out his hands, and Andy shook his hands. He smiled and nodded, and stood up without any muddle to leave.
Andy's expression changed slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes narrowed slightly, his sharp eyes stared at the disappearance of Jeff Immelt's back, and he could clearly listen to the other side's cheerful chuckle in the corridor.
"call--"
Andy took a deep breath, sat down, picked up the coffee on the table, squinted his eyes, and drank the coffee while looking out at the vast golf course. He was opposed by the other army, but soon smiled.
The helicopter landed on the apron on the top floor of the Gaia Building. Andy stepped out of the plane and walked towards the elevator. He was already on the phone while he was on the road. At this time, his think tank in the conference room had begun to discuss and study. .
It's absolutely impossible to run out of cash in your hands. Cash flow can never be dried up, which will make all the debt companies of Andy's debts stretch in the future.
