Chapter 242 The Board of Directors (1)
Turk coughed softly and said, "So, everyone is here?
The clerk nodded and said, "Yes." He said, using his eyes to signal the presence of Dian Wei. The latter obviously should not attend such an important board of directors.
Whitaker looked at Huang Xuan, but Xiao Huang pretended not to see it.
Dian Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at Aiken who wanted to speak. Mr. Mather immediately dismissed the speech.
This is a momentum.
The momentum is not invisible, invisible, inaudible.
An imposing person will use his eyes, posture, or language to make the people next to him and the people near him feel pressure until they are chilling, and these people will indirectly affect more people.
Just like in a dance party, someone's anger easily affects the people around them. This is an imposing performance under special conditions. Also in the office, a cold-faced boss will lower the surrounding temperature.
Momentum needs a carrier, not too much, but it must be indispensable, force and coercion are the most effective, and power can also play the same role, sometimes subtle, but not always. Just like the value of futures, 99% of the people on the London Metal Exchange will not require and are not eligible to require spot delivery, but if there is no spot delivery, futures will be gambling.
Undoubtedly, Dian Wei is a very imposing person-Cao Cao's evaluation of "the ancient evil comer", this is a kind of fierce momentum, more precisely, he is a fearful person.
Aiken was afraid.
no doubt.
Whitaker rubbed the corners of his mouth with his olive palms, which added melanin, and smiled again: "Close the door, let's start."
Huang Xuan leaned his body weight on the back of the chair, and sitting at [1—6—K Fiction Net, the fastest computer station update] Stephenson at the other end of the long table was slightly relaxed. If Kaoru had a fight — in his ten years of experience as COO, he had not received a similar education.
No one spoke, and Whitaker signaled to the secretary behind him, saying: "This document will determine the fate of the future for a long time. I hope you will consider it seriously. Make a decision."
Whitaker's equity is only 18%. He needs to at least draw ordinary people present to pass this document.
Open the cover gently, the word M & A (M & A) appears in the first line of the first paragraph, Huang Xuan smiled slightly, and then turned down. Unsurprisingly, the target of the merger is AT & T, a well-known representative of American Telecom. The blood fathers of the little bells.
Immediately, some directors exclaimed weakly. Although AT & T's performance fell, but it was not dead, it was still an enterprise-level telecommunications provider. Most importantly, the name of AT & T is too loud.
Before the US government divided it into eight parts, it had monopolized the market for half a century. Even now, AT & T still holds the two major killers of long-distance calls and enterprise-level telecommunications services.
The presentation document was not long, and Whitaker noticed that most people had read the entire content. "Um" sound. Tao: "Everyone, the acquisition of AT & T is> + plan. And now. It is a rare opportunity."
Whitaker's voice calmly said: "Just two weeks ago, AT & T released their business forecast for the second half of this year. Due to the impact of Internet telephony, their revenue on long-distance calls may be reduced by 50% in the second half of this year. At the same time, it has been affected by many factors, such as doubts about the economic downturn in the United States, competition from overseas companies, etc., and business income for enterprises, especially traditional multinational companies, has fallen sharply, which may only reach 70% of the same period last year. In other words This year, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company may cause losses of more than US $ 5 billion. Goldman Sachs reports that it is US dollars. "
Everyone was in an uproar. Only shareholders such as Huang Xuan and others who have known these places from different sources can sit there calmly.
"Last year AT & T's operating income was 65 billion, while its expenditure was 57 billion. If its revenue drops by 40%, its profit will be only 390 US dollars and a loss of 18 billion US dollars. This is what its shareholders have suffered. Therefore, in our After active negotiations with AT & T
: the case. "Whittaker said, and his face was also proud. If the merger was successful, he would take the first place in the US telecommunications industry.
"What about the amount?" Asked Carsh of the Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Investment Group is a miracle of the US capital market. This is a low-key but nuclear-equivalent investment group. Their investment philosophy is to unite global politicians and mainly invest in enterprises and certain policy advantages established by governments. Industry, such as defense product contractors; or
Government-affected companies, such as telecommunications companies. Then hire people to work with them, and get involved in the financial industry and aviation industry at the same time. The key government officials they united include: Bush, who is still governor of Texas-he went to Korea on behalf of the Carlyle Group after he resigned, and made a $ 10 investment; hired Bush Jr. who has not yet entered the political arena-and took office He later acquired shares in major arms groups; appointed former British Prime Minister Major, and made the Prime Minister and Soros, who defeated the British pound, collaborate ... In addition, there are many roles that are not familiar to the Chinese: former Vice President Argo (Al.re) and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the chairman of the US Federal Communications Commission () William Kennard.
Huang Xuan is extremely certain that this investment plan that Walsh must have known. Because about two years ago, the chairman, William.u
, at that time, Carlyle Group was the second largest shareholder. What made many people think of it was that three months later, Mr. Kennard joined Carlyle Group. , But he will obviously affect it.
Southwestern Bell wanted to acquire AT & T, the first step was to obtain consent.
A standard American version of collusion between government and business is different from China in lobbying for innocence.
Whittaker said very well: "160 US dollars."
"Wow." Someone shouted again.
Whitaker smiled and said: "The price of AT & T has reached the bottom. We bought it. I dare to guarantee that the investment will be recovered at the most 4. According to our estimation, the merger with AT & T will not only allow us to make long-distance calls and Leading competitors in corporate services, and in terms of our inherent business, we can save $ 2 billion annually. "
"Sounds good," Aiken finally said, "What do you think, China Huang?"
"If you call me Mr. Huang, I will be more grateful." Huang Xuan grinned and said: "Sounds good."
Two words by two people, it seems to be expressing the meaning of abstention. Walsh immediately stood up and said: "We think it is a wise move to buy AT & T. This is a rare opportunity."
Stephenson knew, however, that Aiken and Huang Xuan would definitely not abstain, but they were both reluctant to speak first. But the former is a representative of the Cleveland consortium, and the latter also has the background of the Huang's fund. In terms of total funds, it is more than the 300 dollars of the Carlyle Group. It is really impossible to get angry and mess up.
Whitaker, who has understood the causes and consequences, obviously has the same concerns. Instead of asking the opinions of the third and fourth shareholders first, he began to ask other directors one by one. He meant that he still wanted to hold the majority of people, and then Whatever these two young people have in mind, it does not matter when it comes to mergers and acquisitions.
But unexpectedly, Whitaker received only 40% of the support, and nearly 20% of the outstanding shares were scrapped. Most of the shareholders present agreed to Whitaker's merger and acquisition plan, but the problem is that this is not enough.
Aiken looked at Huang Xuan with a smile. Dian Wei has already stood behind Huang Xuan, and the distance is safe.
Judging from the information he obtained from his friends ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Huang Xuanqiu, because this Chinese has used almost all of his assets for the stocks he bought, but Aiken gave up a wonderful night to read the information I couldn't find out what Huang Xuan wanted.
With AT & T, there are hundreds of millions of patents, talents and channels. To find the connection between MPGE patents and BD, Mr. Mather ’s experience is not enough.
However, Aiken has made up his mind to make trouble.
Whitaker began the second round of description, trying to get more shareholders to agree to this merger plan. Because it is obvious that unless Huang Xuan and Aiken join forces, otherwise the agreement cannot be reached anyway.
Huang Xuan also quickly understood this.
This is a mess.
As long as Aiken voted right, the eight achievements of this merger will be defeated, and even if Huang Xuan voted against it, it is still not enough to induce Aiken to vote in favor of 48%.
The good news is that there may be shareholders who switch camps and join the pro-side. Moreover, Aiken does n’t really understand whether M & A is good or bad—even Whitaker ca n’t make a bond, the stock after the merger
