At this time, not only Li Feng is discussing, but Ge, Texas Instruments or Raytheon are already busy.
In the Ge (General Electric) building of Rockefeller Center, there was also a discussion at this time, most of which were the CEOs of GE's major companies, a group of shareholder representatives and board directors.
"Everyone, there is no doubt that both Tianji real estate company and Tianyu media company are very high-quality assets. Next, we consider how many shares we need to get from the two companies. Now we clearly know that the two companies will give 30% of their shares, which is about US $8 billion according to their value.
The value of our Hughes Aircraft Company is obviously going to exceed, so we need to have a specific plan of cash and shares. What's more, whether we need more shares or not. Let's talk about the situation. " At this time, in the office meeting room on the top floor of Ge building, a fat man with full vent and clenched his hands said enthusiastically to the people.
The big fat man who has been in charge of Ge for more than 10 years is Jack Welch, known as the 'century manager'. As the head of General Electric, there is no doubt that Jack Welch is definitely one of the great men of the United States.
In today's era, anywhere in the United States, ask a person. The current business legends list a list. Most people will list Jack Welch at the forefront, not gates of Microsoft, Sam Walton of Wal Mart, Andrew Grover of Intel, or even Warren Buffett.
……
There are many great companies in the business of Midea, such as general motors, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Wal Mart and future apple, but there is no doubt that in terms of its influence on Midea, Ge is the cornerstone of Midea.
General Electric is the world's largest electrical equipment, electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing company. Its output value accounts for about 14% of the total output value of the American electrical industry. Consider that the output value of 14 in the industrial industry of a superpower such as the United States and the Empire was created by general electric, which is the cornerstone of the Empire.
Today's GM far exceeds Microsoft in the world's top 500, with a market value of more than 200 billion. Before the outbreak of the Internet, it is definitely one of the super aircraft carriers in the world business community.
Of course, everyone who knows about GM knows that it was founded by the early inventor Edison, but in fact, the original Ge was actually under the control of the Morgan consortium. Edison actually worked for the Morgan family in a disguised form, but he occupied a lot of shares as an inventor, just like the technology shares of entrepreneurs now.
At the peak of the monopoly consortium, the Morgan family was in control of general electric and its position on Wall Street. No wonder the Morgan family was like the God of the United States at that time.
With the dismemberment of the consortium, Ge is naturally among them. Now, although the Morgan family and the Morgan consortium still have some shares, it is impossible to completely control it as it used to be brilliant.
There should be more or less shares when Li Feng wants to come. In fact, this situation is similar to that of other consortium families, such as Rockefeller, which Li Feng is familiar with.
Of course, in modern society, these families don't want to control, they just want to participate in shares, maintain the value of family wealth and don't lose, etc. after all, with their former wealth, they can't spend all their lives as long as there are no losers.
……
"Boss, I think we focus on the shares of media group."
"Come on, Bob, who doesn't know you're in charge of NBC? Why, do you want NBC to buy other people's media groups.
In my opinion, the assets of the two enterprises are excellent, and the future return is certain. Moreover, it is now clear to the discerning people that the real estate industry in the United States has recovered and even began to increase rapidly. From the return of wealth growth, I think the real estate companies are better.
Don't forget, now our Ge building is still owned by other companies, and look at the assets of real estate companies, many properties near the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and Times Square, and the shares of Hilton Hotel. Now these are assets that money can't buy. "
"Bill has a point..."
"I think the media group is also good..."
At this time, a group of big guys of Ge companies talked about it one after another, while the big guys of Hughes company were depressed and didn't know what their future would be like.
"Charles, tell me, after all, you are the CEO of Hughes." Welch said to the CEO of Hughes Aircraft Company with a bitter face.
"Jack, it's time. What else can I say? Since I've decided to sell it, I'll make it easier to save the company from panic. Do what you say."
Obviously, as the CEO of Hughes company, he is very depressed, but he is still very concerned about Hughes company itself. If the acquisition takes a long time, it will lead to the instability of the company, which is obviously not the result he wants to see.
……
In fact, not only the opponents had plans, but also several partners had their own plans. In fact, it was Li Feng's sudden decision that caught old David by surprise.
Originally, according to their idea, after the two raised $5 billion, they basically dominated the next negotiation. After all, the two families know that Li Feng doesn't have so much money for acquisition.
The original plan was that they were going to use financial means to pry the acquisition target with a capital of US $5 billion. After all, they were all Wall Street veterans, which was enough for them to toss about. But they didn't expect to mention it in the original Rockefeller manor. Li Feng took the initiative to say that he used his shares to mortgage and raise the remaining funds, which surprised the two families at the bottom of his heart.
In fact, both companies misjudged Li Feng's attention to the military enterprise. Originally, the two people wanted to come. Li Feng, a guy with such a strong desire for possession, would not take out his own company. Unexpectedly, Li Feng took out the shares of his core industry real estate and media group. Of course, these Li Feng do not know, but their own miscalculation has let the two families eat in secret.
In the view of old David and Roosevelt at the beginning, they used $5 billion to buy shares in Li Feng's company first. First, you can take the fast-growing ships of Li Feng's companies. Second, you can increase the value of your family assets and expand your influence. Even if it is possible to eat Li Feng's companies in the future, it is not impossible. These routines are too common on Wall Street.
Unfortunately, when Li Feng decided to bear the remaining funds independently, all their ideas failed. After all, in this way, Li Feng firmly controlled the equity and had nothing to do with them.
Perhaps there is another way that is not the way, that is, wait until the bank loan expires. If Li Feng doesn't pay back, then it may be the best time to take over Li Feng's assets.
……
In fact, there are also reasons why Bill, Li Shanquan and others suggested Li Feng to do so. Bill and others know how bankers from Wall Street seek to seize other people's assets through banking and financial means.
After repeatedly confirming what Li Feng said, when there are enough funds to repay after 2000, bill directly suggested that he use the shares of private companies to mortgage loans, so that he can firmly control the shares of Blackwater, and others have no way.
As for the shares of real estate companies and media groups, according to bill, if you speculate according to the boss, the growth rate of real estate companies in Huaxia will be many times that in Meidi in the future.
If so, the merger of the two companies is enough for Li Feng to control the real estate company again. Similarly, the media group is the same. As long as the management right is firmly controlled, if there are enough funds to supplement the acquisition of media in the future, and then merge the company in the name of expansion, it can get enough control.
After the persuasion of bill and others, Li Feng made up his mind to take out his shares and develop Blackwater first.
