Autumn is thick, the sun is just right.
Autumn is the most gorgeous and pure color. The perfect integration of the vast golf course and the beautiful nature is also one of the important reasons why so many people like golf. In the picturesque scenery, what is completed is not only a game, but also a journey of body and mind.
"Bang!"
Jeff looked at the golf shot by himself, slowly took back the club, and smiled to Andy and Warren: "this is the only time in these two months that he can relax and play golf well.
So far this year, GE's share price has plummeted by about 42% amid concerns that it is too big to control itself in this volatile market. We've lowered our earnings forecast twice. To be honest, I'm a bit out of breath because of the pressure. "
Warren and Andy look at each other, and Andy knows the character of the goods in front of him, and he wants to get NBC global from others, so he will naturally take what he likes. Moreover, the goods like to listen to good words, and they can cheat. Andy won't be stingy and say good words to each other.
"Ge is the representative of American enterprises for the whole world," Andy squatted down and put the ball holder on the lawn, put the golf ball on, posed, looked out and continued laughing. "I admire your outstanding brands and businesses around the world. I believe that GE will make another great achievement in the next few years. "
"Bang!"
Andy swings, golf draws a beautiful parabola and lands. Jeff looks at the landing point and says "good ball" with a smile on his face.
"Your investment will give strong support to our company's financial foundation and help maintain our AAA credit rating." Jeff continued with a light smile on his face: "the market turmoil is expected to continue for some time, but I am still confident in GE's strategic plan for the future."
Warren Baffin nodded, and then said: "the most important thing is to shrink the front line so as to focus on core businesses such as infrastructure. I know Welch is your mentor, but his pursuit of short-term profits has exposed serious risks. It's time for GM to return to the original track."
Jeff's face changed a little, and his original smile gradually converged. After a moment's silence, he finally had to shake his head and smile bitterly. He sighed and said, "I don't know that, but it's a very big project. The pain will also make people suffer a lot!
At present, we can only go through difficulties one by one. I plan to bring in Bank of America, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, j.p.mg and Mg Stanley as auxiliary account book managers.
And then slowly cut off the financial industry and some industries that don't match the main industry, only slowly
Andy and Warren looked at each other and saw a glimmer of splendor in each other's eyes. Andy played with the club in his hand and walked side by side with the two people. He said abruptly, "did Ge consider selling NBC global?"
"Of course... Well? " Jeff didn't think about it. He blurted out and immediately noticed a bit of strangeness. He frowned a little. He walked a little. He turned his head to look at Warren Buffett and Andy Smith. Then he thought about something. He shook his head and laughed.
No one is surprised by Jeff's keen reaction. Anyone who can reach this position will be really stupid if he is really regarded as a fool. Andy and Warren laugh at each other.
Warren took the lead in opening his mouth and said with a smile: "Andy has always had a wild hope in the media Kingdom, which is no secret. This time you reform Ge, Andy saw the opportunity to realize your dream. After all, NBC global has become a great burden for GE. I feel that this is a win-win thing, so I promised him to help you both get along Request. "
Jeff looked at Andy Smith's handsome young face with a smile that had not changed from beginning to end. He said in a deep voice: "we will not sell NBC Universal completely, of course, I believe Andy you will not choose to swallow NBC Universal completely, after all, it is not cheap!"
"That's right. I just need to control it. I don't exclude partners. As long as I'm the leader, you need money, I need to expand the territory. When the two achieve their goals through mutual exchange, the transaction will happen naturally, right?" Andy didn't hide his ambition and persistence, but directly pointed out his own bottom line.
Jeff narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Andy, and then thought quickly in silence. Warren Buffett looked at Jeff, who was pondering, and said with a smile: "NBC global has become a white elephant for current Ge (expensive and useless thing, American version of chicken ribs) the parent company will not only get no benefits, but also be dragged down by it, more importantly Is it really important to see NBC global, including you and the board of directors?
I'm afraid that the energy and attention paid by Andy is not half that of the financial sector. Andy's ability is more visible. Look at AMC TV now. Since friends, NBC
Speaking of this, Warren stopped at the right time, but shook his head with a sigh and disappointment, all in silence."As Warren said, I'm going to get NBC global back to its peak, rather than being pushed down by fox as it is now. I'm Andy Smith, here..." Andy pointed to his head and said, "there's never a lack of golden ideas and good stories!"
"Ha ha..." Jeff shakes his head and laughs, with a bitter expression. NBC global, which personally presides over the merger and acquisition, now still wants him to decide whether to turn to others. It's a complicated mood, which can be imagined. At that time, I was full of spirits, but now I want to break my tail to survive.
"Hoo -" Jeff exhaled a deep breath of dullness, his face became serious, his eyes did not give in and Andy looked at each other, and his tone was a little cold and said: "I will never agree that NBC global is sold at a low price! If you want to, prepare yourself psychologically! "
Andy was very happy, but his face was very calm. He smiled and said: "tomorrow my negotiation team will come to visit. So, should we shake hands to celebrate and have a good cooperation?"
Looking at the handsome face and outstretched hand in front of him, Jeff reached out and squeezed his hand with complicated expression, "happy cooperation."
"Ha ha, congratulations on reaching an agreement. We should find a place to have a drink, shouldn't we?" Warren Buffett suggested with a smile.
"It's a good idea." Andy smiles at Warren with gratitude and looks at Jeff.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go! " Jeff looks at Warren and Andy, shakes his head and laughs again, hands the club to the caddie, sweeping away the heavy and complicated mood before.
。。。。。。
At the golf club bar, Andy touched Warren with champagne and said, "thank you."
Warren smiled and shook his head, raised his glass and drank, then the three began to chat more relaxed, until about 4 p.m., just about the end of the party, the three people who left each received a phone call at the same time.
Listening to the sound of the three mobile phones, the three people immediately became dignified, looked at each other and saw their worries from the eyes of the other party. None of the three people present were ordinary people, and received a phone call at the same time, which means that something really happened.
Sure enough, the three answered the phone and looked at each other with different faces.
Just now, the Main Street bank of Michigan declared bankruptcy, and Washington Mutual Bank was seized and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
"Ha ha, the turbulent financial market will be more nervous now!" Jeff drank all the red wine in his glass, stood up and looked at Andy and Warren with a wry smile: "this is to remind everyone that the worst financial crisis in decades is still continuing. Andy, let your people not delay time by means of negotiation. We'll talk straight to the point. If possible, come up with a plan as soon as possible! Two, I'll take the first step
Looking at Jeff's back, Warren said to Andy with a dignified face: "it seems that these two news have a great impact on him."
Andy nodded. He was not surprised by the collapse of the mutual bank. It was something he had been looking forward to, so he could enjoy the delicious food.
Warren Buffett looked at Andy's smile from the corner of his mouth. He hesitated. Then he leaned forward. The eyes behind the lenses became bright. He stared at Andy dead. He lowered his voice and said, "Washington Mutual Bank, you'd better not reach out. It's not worth it..."
With that, Warren stood up without a little consternation. With a frown on his face, Andy explained, reached out and patted Andy on the shoulder, then left the bar with his bodyguard.
