Chapter 169 Tout
The man who was called out was naturally Bernard Ebes. Ebes patted the fodder on his hands before looking at the few people.
"President Ebes, the state of New Jersey has refused to allow American Telecom to enter, and the Communications Commission is also reviewing the class action lawsuit against Wall Street companies against America Telecom!" Several people in suits and ties turned to Bernard Ebes report.
In New Jersey, it was natural that WorldCom took action. A state senator who was closely related to WorldCom used means and contacts to drive America Telecom out. America Telecom was blocked if he could not enter New Jersey At a place 100 kilometers away from New York, even if you want to take a detour, you have no chance at all!
Hearing this, Ebes wiped his hands, and then threw the handkerchief aside casually. Although he is sought after by the media and is considered a representative figure of the technology industry, Ebes himself hates technology extremely. Now They have never used pagers or mobile phones. As for e-mail, Ebes hates it even more.
Today, this group of people found the farm here because if they didn't come, they couldn't contact Bernard Ebes at all. Ebes should be the most antique figure in the companies in America, but no matter how much he complained in his heart, no one dared to be Say it in front of the head of Shitong, a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.
"I hope to hear the news that WorldCom has acquired America Telecom. I have to say, that kid is indeed a genius!"
Bernard Ebes said to the people around him that he didn't pay attention to America Telecom at all. For Ebes and WorldCom, attacking America Telecom was like crushing an insignificant ant. Not much feeling.
As for Ebes, he has no impression of Song Yang. Silicon Valley geniuses, Internet upstarts, etc. are not worth mentioning in Ebes' eyes. He doesn't like the technology industry at all, even Bill Gates Bernard Ebes is not in the eyes, let alone the rising star Song Yang.
Following Ebes' teasing of Song Yang, everyone around him laughed in agreement. Although Ebes now only holds less than 2% of WorldCom's shares, his worth is probably even lower than that of Song Yang. .
However, as the head of WorldCom, Ebes is one of the most powerful figures in America. Even though he hates technology and is a maverick, there are still countless praises and praises for him, and the media still calls him a "digital hero." ".
Holding back his smile, Ebes put on a pair of gloves again and prepared to take care of his farm. It seemed that cleaning up the farm was more important than dealing with American Telecom.
After taking two steps, Ebes turned around and said to the crowd, "I hope to hear good news as soon as possible. WorldCom needs this line, needs the New York market, and needs to let investors know that WorldCom is moving. The company still has many plans, and I don't want this to stop ShiCom from moving forward!"
Facing Ebes' words, the group of people who were laughing just now immediately became awe-inspiring.
WorldCom's purpose is very simple, that is, to bankrupt America Telecom, and then get this line from America Telecom at a low price. As for how to get it, it is not difficult for WorldCom at all. After Telecom went bankrupt, that line appeared on the auction list, and then it was taken away at the price of cabbage.
Aiming at American Telecom, it is really just a trivial matter for Ebes and WorldCom, and the purpose is still for the New York telecom market and stock price!
Over the past few years, Ebes has successively acquired high-speed communication companies, IDB Telecom Group, Resurrection Telecom and other large and small companies, allowing WorldCom to enter the telecommunications markets in Northeast America, Canada, Europe and other places. WorldCom's stock price has pushed to more than 100 billion US dollars!
Ebbes's trick to achieve all this is to push up the stock price and use the high-priced WorldCom stock to acquire rivals, which allows WorldCom to kill each opponent without a lot of cash.
There is a premise for this, that is, investors must have absolute confidence in WorldCom stock, or even be fanatical, just like the "blindfolded run" of LeTV Jia's boss. I believe that the stock in my hand will continue to appreciate in value and will never depreciate. Once the stock price depreciates, the thunder will explode.
For this reason, Ebes and the board of directors of WorldCom will naturally continue to make acquisitions to stimulate the stock price!
Dealing with American Telecom is nothing more than a small means for WorldCom. Their ultimate goal is to use the lines in the hands of America Telecom to increase the stock price. WorldCom has already set its sights on UUNET, the first Internet business service provider in America. .
With the popularity of the Internet, Internet service providers are also hot, and are regarded as fat meat by many companies. WorldCom also wants to take down UUNET and deal with America Telecom, just to acquire this company!
After finishing speaking, Ebes picked up a cigar, started busy packing his potatoes again, and then fed the cows, with a masterful demeanor.
All the people in suits and leather shoes on the farm couldn't help but feel this way when they looked at Ebes. This old cowboy who drove a tractor, fed cows and picked potatoes, built a telecom empire in ten years. Back then, beside the Telephone and Telegraph Group, it was just a mouse-like Worldcom, but now it seems that it wants to kill all those elephants!
Houston, Song Yang came to the headquarters of Anran Group again to meet Emperor Kenneth of Anran.
But this time, after Song Yang and Gallo came to Anran, they were not entertained like the previous few times. They were taken to a meeting room by a charming female assistant from Kenneth, and they didn't even give them a cup of coffee. In the future, no one will pay attention to Song Yang and the others.
Before coming here, Song Yang was already mentally prepared, knowing that he would definitely be sacked. With Kenneth's character, An Ran disclosed the new telecommunications bill to Song Yang. As a result, An Ran didn't get involved in the American Telecom matter at all. , even if Kenneth would not be angry about it, he would still let Song Yang and the others go to some extent.
Looking at Song Yang who was flipping through the magazine, Gallo couldn't sit still, "Song, what does An Ran mean by throwing us here?!"
Without raising his head, Song Yang only looked at the financial magazine in his hand, "We need An Ran's help, these are all things that must be endured!"
Hearing Song Yang's words, Gallo sat down a little annoyed. Today, he was getting angry almost everywhere, and all kinds of bad news almost came out one after another, which made Gallo feel like he didn't know what to do with his strength.
Song Yang was somewhat interested in this financial magazine. The magazines published by Enron's headquarters must be all kinds of reports about Enron.
This financial magazine touts Enron's "internationalization". Enron is not satisfied with being an energy futures trader. After the launch of the Enron online website, Enron became more and more radical under the management of the military strategist Jeff Skilling.
This magazine reported that Enron expects to spend about 8 billion US dollars next year, investing in the Dabor Hydropower Station in Asan and a water treatment center in England. Apart from these projects, other large and small investments are even more Up to tens of billions of dollars, the formation of natural gas pipelines from Bolivia to Brazil, the construction of power plants in the Philippines, and so on.
Looking at these reports, Song Yang could imagine how Enron's investors would be stimulated by these reports. Countless leeks rushed to raise shares in Enron.
However, not to mention other things, just for the Anran hydropower project, Song Yang felt a little silent mourning for Anran. Just because of Asanna's construction level, an aircraft carrier can be built for decades before it capsizes. For such a large hydropower project, Song Yang does not I don't know if it will be dragged into the next century.
Coupled with Ah San's tradition of reneging on promises, the completion of this hydropower station, whether it belongs to An Ran or Ah San, is something to be said. Besides, with Ah San's attribute of stealing electricity, will he pay the electricity bill for this hydropower station? , Song Yang expressed doubts...
But through these reports, it can also be seen that Enron, who has a great reputation, is attacking everywhere and constantly improving its existing influence, so as to be more in line with its identity as the seventh largest company in America!
After waiting for a long time, Kenneth seemed to "finally" remember that Song Yang was still waiting for him to be summoned, and then Shi Shiran walked into the meeting room with his right-hand man, Jeff Skilling.
"Oh, Mr. Three Billion Dollars in America, Song, you are not common, how could you think of An Ran here?!"
As soon as he came in, Kenneth said something to Song Yang. Although he didn't directly question him, the look of dissatisfaction with Song Yang was almost written on his face.
Jeff Skilling also looked at Song Yang with interest, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face, but more curiosity.
"Song, Kenneth is not dissatisfied with you, but you have to understand that Kenneth and An Ran told you about the new telecommunications bill in America, but you didn't let An Ran participate in the America Telecom project..."
Kenneth and Jeff Skilling, one is a bad face and the other is a red face, both hard and soft, anyway, they just tell Song Yang one thing, An Ran is very dissatisfied with Song Yang's eating alone!
"I see!"
Song Yang didn't dispute this matter, and he was always short of three points when he came to ask for help and rescue soldiers, not to mention, even with Song Yang's current worth, compared with An Ran, it was nothing worth mentioning. Calculated in value, one Enron is almost equivalent to two hundred and fifty double-click companies...
Song Yang held up the magazine, looked at Kenneth and Jeff Skilling and said, "I see that Enron is investing in the global market."
"Song, what advice do you have?!" Jeff Skilling asked Song Yang.
"I can't talk about advice, just a little suggestion. I think Enron's popularity should be improved, so that more people can know about Enron, so that investment in overseas markets can be smoother!"
Jeff Skilling looked at Song Yang suspiciously. He didn't know what Song Yang meant. Enron puts out a lot of advertisements every year, especially this year, it puts a lot of advertisements in overseas markets. It is not something that can be improved in a short time.
Under Kenneth and Jeff Skilling's attention, Song Yang said a word, which made the two of them stunned.
"Enron Award!"
