Chapter 157
Chapter 157 Sharpening the knife to the fat sheep
Although Anshu Jain is young, he is Edison's most trusted subordinate. He has a similar personality to Edison and can be regarded as one of Edison's followers. There are portraits of Edison hanging in the office, but Imagine who he is.
Seeing Song Yang in the reception room, An Shu was also taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Song Yang to appear here. He only heard that an unknown Spivey was coming to see him, but he didn't expect Song Yang to appear here too. Here, it was completely beyond Anshu's expectation.
"Nice to meet you!"
Song Yang stretched out his hand towards Anshu Jain, "I don't know if I can bother Director Anshu and Mr. Edison today?!"
Facing America's youngest Mr. 500 million dollar knife, who is still an upstart on the Internet, various thoughts flashed through Anshu Jain's mind.
Although I don't know why Song Yang appeared here, for Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, which has just been established for more than a year, Song Yang, an upstart on the Internet, is definitely one of the targets for solicitation.
"Of course no problem, Mr. Addison is absolutely willing to talk to Mr. Bruno!" After various thoughts flashed through, Anshu said without thinking.
I don't know what Song Yang wants to talk about, but Deutsche Bank has absolutely no reason to push out the $500 million man in front of him, who is known as the future leader of the Internet in America.
Song Yang and the others were brought back to a small meeting room. Looking at the extravagant decoration of the meeting room, it was obviously used to entertain important people.
Sitting in the small conference room, Spivey finally felt the difference in identity and status. Not only Deutsche Bank, but Song Yang might get such treatment in any investment bank or institution on Wall Street, and Spivey held himself I'm afraid the Lord will never see the worship post.
In America, this is the law of the jungle, but here on Wall Street, it is infinitely magnified, and people with status, status and worth can get everything they want here, while the former Spivey and others, here It can only be used as cannon fodder!
Not long after, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and a man who was not too tall but had a strong aura walked in. The aura is a very mysterious thing, invisible and intangible, but some people just stood there, It is the focus of the audience.
Edison is undoubtedly such a character. As soon as he entered the conference room, Edison became the focus of the audience. Anshu, who was following him, as well as Greg, Marcus and others in the conference room, all He looked at Edison.
Looking around the conference room, Edison's contemptuous gaze finally fell on Song Yang.
When he came to America, Song Yang had seen many important figures, but this was the first time he could feel the eagle-like gaze on his body.
A person who can lead the investment bank of Deutsche Bank, fight against Goldman Sachs within a few years, and set off huge waves in the global investment and stock market, Edison is really impressive.
"Song?!"
Edison walked towards Song Yang, Song Yang could feel the hand shaking him, it was very strong, Edison with blond hair, typical Wall Street style, "Nice to meet you!"
After the group of people sat down, Edison looked at Song Yang and Greg and the others with great interest. Edison had heard about Song Yang's name more or less. Intrigued because Song Yang is good at creating "miracles".
Since Song Yang's debut, from Double-Click, Hormail mailbox to ICQ, which claims to have set off the Internet social era, Song Yang has never failed, and the valuations of these companies have exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars.
Not to mention the hotmail mailboxes that have been sold, the valuation of Double-Click, which is about to be listed, has also been raised to nearly 500 million dollars. ICQ is not yet online, but Wall Street institutions are already willing to make a valuation of 300 million dollars for ICQ Value investment, that is, as long as Song Yang is willing to sell ICQ, he can directly get 300 million US dollars...in cash!
Since his debut, he has never missed a deal, coupled with Song Yang's nearly continuous launch of new industries and new companies, Wall Street's interest in Song Yang is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of people who want to invest in Song Yang is also increasing.
But this upstart on the Internet suddenly came to Deutsche Bank Investment Bank in a low-key manner today, which still made Edison curious. As for the matter of finding a stock underwriter for Double-click, Edison didn't even think about it. will do so.
"So, Song, why are you here today?!"
Direct, forceful, without the slightest sloppiness, just like the rumors, Edison didn't even have a single polite word, so he asked directly.
Song Yang and Greg looked at each other, and they had learned Edison's style. Looking at Edison, a madman on Wall Street, "Mr. Edison, I'm here today. I do have one thing. Talk over here!"
"I have a new business company in my hand, which may be able to provide services for Deutsche Bank Investment Bank!"
Listening to Song Yang's words, even Edison was stunned this time. Needless to say, Anshu Jain and other executives from Deutsche Bank Investment Bank looked at Song Yang in a daze.
Full of calculations, how long has it been since Song Yang made his debut? He has already launched three high-profile companies with a valuation of hundreds of millions. Now, another company pops up? !
Deutsche Bank Investment Bank looked at Song Yang with weird eyes. America is not without geniuses, and there are also talented people who have shined in different industries many times in a row. The most famous one is Howard Hughes, who amazed America for an era. !
But even Howard Hughes, it took nearly a few decades to gain a firm foothold in the aviation, film, oil and other industries. Rao Howard Hughes, but there is no such thing as a donkey in the production team. , In more than a year, several new companies have been launched consecutively.
Song Yang glanced at Spivey. Spivey took out several documents from his briefcase and pushed them to Edison and the others.
"Mr. Edison, I heard that Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is establishing foreign exchange, futures, commodities, bonds and derivatives transactions. Mr. Bruno Song's America Telecom may be able to help Deutsche Bank Investment Bank with these businesses!"
Spivey introduced American Telecom to Edison and others. Hearing the name of this strange e-commerce operator, Edison frowned, picked up the document in front of him and glanced at it.
"So, Bruno Song, what do you want to do?!" Edison only glanced at the document, threw it aside, and asked Song Yang directly.
Song Yang didn't go around in circles, "America Telecom is preparing a new communication line, from the Chicago futures market directly to New York, it can directly increase the speed of Wall Street's network by two to three times!"
Hearing that Song Yang had entered the telecommunications industry, Edison was also slightly taken aback. It was not a small span to enter the telecommunications industry from the Internet, but then he thought of the meaning of the line of American Telecom, Anshu Jain, etc. The faces of the people also changed. They are all experts in futures and foreign exchange transactions, so they naturally understand the importance of information to this industry.
Even today, manual trading is still the mainstay, but computers are used to check and watch the market. If you see the information one second earlier, you can make a trading decision one second earlier. Since the telegraph era, stock and bond transactions have occupied the global telegraph market. more than half of the amount.
Some conspiracy theorists even believe that when the Titanic accident happened, it was because the rich people on board were busy sending stock trading news by telegraph that the crew missed the opportunity to send a distress signal!
As for the arrival of the telephone and Internet era, the speed of information transactions is fully demonstrated.
"If the traders of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank use this line of American Telecom, they can make trading decisions 30 seconds or even one minute earlier than Chicago futures traders of other investment banks!" Spivey said to Deutsche Bank Investment Bank said that he is an expert in this area.
Anshu Jaen and others were obviously a little moved when they heard this. They understand the importance of information speed too much. The futures market is changing rapidly, especially now that computerized trading has begun gradually, and network speed is the most important thing. Heavy.
Every year, the major investment banks on Wall Street also pay huge fees to telecommunications groups such as Verizon, Telephone and Telegraph, so that these communication operators can guarantee their network speed and normal telephone lines. A dedicated line from Chicago to New York is also available. It has never happened before, and no one can say what its impact on Wall Street is, but the faster the internet speed, the better!
But Edison still seemed unmoved, just looked at Song Yang with interest.
"I am not an expert on Wall Street futures trading, but I know that this is a market worth US$15 billion to US$20 billion a year. Global futures players are in this market, and the transaction speed has increased by tens of seconds. For Deutsche Bank Investment Bank Say, it shouldn't be a bad thing!" Song Yang looked at Edison and said.
Edison laughed, "It's really surprising. I think Wall Street will be shocked when they hear the news about this route!"
There are more than one Wall Street institutions engaged in futures trading. Edison can imagine that after the emergence of the American Telecom line, the entire Wall Street futures trading industry will be turned upside down.
But just because there are many companies in this line, Edison is not in a hurry. He is sure that Song Yang will definitely not only look for his family. Edison does not know how much it cost to lay this line, but it is absolutely It will not be a small amount.
Deutsche Bank investment bank alone will definitely not be able to make up for Song Yang's investment in this route, and Song Yang will find other investment institutions.
Once the major investment institutions on Wall Street have used this route, then Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is still not the same as before, and has no advantage at all? !
This line is Song Yanglai's bargaining chip to blackmail Wall Street institutions, Edison is very clear about this, "I think it will not only be the American Telecom that can provide this line, but once Telephone and Telegraph and other groups know about this line. If the line..."
Edison is lowering the price. He knows that Deutsche Bank Investment Bank definitely needs this route, but Edison is not willing to be treated as a fat sheep.
"However, at least within this year, only American Telecom and other telecom companies can provide Wall Street with the fastest futures trading network speed. It will take at least a year to build this line!"
Facing Edison, a Wall Street lunatic, Song Yang did not show any weakness. At this time, he wanted to kill the investment bank of Deutsche Bank, how could he be lenient.
