Back To 1995

  Chapter 1099 Thunder on the ground

  Immelt was obviously in a bad mood during this period. No one inside General Electric dared to touch Immelt's bad luck.

   Immelt has a mediocre relationship with Paulson. General Electric is a self-contained branch in America, and has dealt with Goldman Sachs, but neither side is vegetarian, and neither is willing to bow to the other.

Immelt also knows that it will not be easy for Paulson to pull General Electric. He will have to pay an unknown price to make the king of Wall Street, who once disturbed Wall Street and the world, feel peaceful. GE pays out huge sums of dollars.

If the Federal Treasurer is not a powerful figure like Paulson, then Immelt is confident that he can use GE's connections and resources to pull the bailout for GE, but with Paulson's status, connections, and influence, A character who is no worse than Immelt can not bird Immelt at all.

   More importantly, the media group that General Electric could rely on in the past was also sold by Immelt himself. Now that he wants to create public opinion and force the federal financial aid to General Electric, there is no way to concoct public opinion.

Looking at the scene outside the window, Immelt also felt tired. Since he became the head of General Electric, he seems to have spent all his luck. The halo on his body seems to have faded. The words of praise have now turned into ridicule and abuse.

The phrase "the head of the 600 billion market value" has also become a swan song. Immelt relied on the acquisition of ICQ to make him the head of General Electric. Melt was also really interested in ICQ, and lost to ICQ again.

  While Immelt was looking out the window in a daze, and the little assistant in the hotel suite was also a little frightened, a burst of footsteps broke the situation.

   "President Immelt, Bruno Song has sent you an invitation!"

  Hearing Song Yang's name, Immelt's eyes suddenly became sharper, making the supervisor who came to report feel as if he was being scratched by a knife.

   "Bruno Song?"

  Immelt took a deep breath and said the name, which he regarded as a shame. This name is also taboo in General Electric, and no one dared to mention it in front of him in the past.

   "Bruno Song said that he has something very important to discuss with President Immelt, threatening that it is related to the future of Alcatel Mobile and General Electric, and it can also...get General Electric out of its current predicament!"

   "Should I decline Bruno Song's invitation?!" The supervisor said tentatively.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Immelt is still the top professional manager. Apart from his bad luck, Immelt is definitely a qualified top manager, especially if he doesn't care about his personal anger When you can make the most sensible decision.

   "Tell him I'll be there!"

Immelt said coldly, but the supervisor and the assistant couldn't help being stunned for a moment. They could all feel that Immelt was bearing the burden of humiliation. For the sake of General Electric, he could go to See, the man who brought him a huge humiliation, isn't this what it is to bear the humiliation...

In a restaurant in the community behind Capitol Hill, there is also a large area of ​​buildings around Capitol Hill. There are also community buildings behind Capitol Hill, with various restaurants and other supporting facilities. , It is impossible to be hungry and devote oneself to America. Most of those buildings are temporary accommodation for members of Capitol Hill.

Immelt came to a restaurant close to Capitol Hill. As soon as he entered, many eyes were on him. Most of the people who dined here were big figures who traveled to and from Capitol Hill. For Immelt, this The head of General Electric is naturally familiar!

Seeing Immelt, many congressmen in the restaurant gestured to Immelt, and Immelt responded gracefully until, when he saw Immelt sitting opposite Song Yang, the restaurant Many congressmen on Capitol Hill, who knew about the grievances between the two, had strange and dramatic expressions on their faces, and some congressmen couldn't help but began to speculate whether something was going to happen when Song Yang and Immelt met. …

   Seeing Immelt's arrival, Song Yang looked normal, and Immelt didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. The two sat down like "old friends".

   "President Immelt, I heard that the steak in this restaurant is very good, and it is very popular with members of Congress Hill. You can try it!"

  Song Yang said to Immelt, but Immelt said, "Song, no one dares to try the things you recommend!"

   Listening to Immelt's insinuation, Song Yang didn't care. To be honest, it is impossible for any one person to please everyone. If you want to find black material, you can find it, and Song Yang is no exception.

Song Yang’s voice for backstabbing his allies is not small. From the original Netscape to Microsoft, and then to General Electric, Song Yang seems to have been tricked by Song Yang. These companies have all cooperated with Song Yang, but Netscape and Song Yang Needless to say, General Electric, the last chicken feather, Microsoft has also been cut leeks, and there will naturally be voices that are unfavorable to Song Yang in public opinion.

  “People tend to get used to putting the blame on others, which seems to reduce the feeling of guilt.

  If this method is also useful for President Immelt, then I am willing to bear all the infamy, as long as President Immelt is happy and General Electric can survive the trouble! "

Song Yang took a bite of the steak and spoke slowly, but Immelt couldn't help but clenched his fists. Immelt is not the kind of person who is easily irritated, but when he meets Song Yang, he can be easily irritated with just a few words. It made Immelt feel the rage go straight to his forehead.

If it weren't for the scruples about his identity, and after measuring his body, Immelt felt that Song Yang's opponent, who had not been exercising all the year round and heard that he had practiced fighting skills, would want to give Song Yang that face Come on, come on an old punch!

What Song Yang said was to call Immelt a coward, who would only cry and complain, blaming Song Yang for the collapse of General Electric's stock price, but he didn't want to think who was desperate to buy Song Yang on the ICQ stake.

It is true that Song Yang cut the leeks of General Electric, but at that time, except for Song Yang who could come up with tens of billions of dollars in cash flow to save General Electric, looking at America, even the four major companies such as Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America The banks all avoided GE and were unwilling to provide loans to it. It wasn't Song Yang who made the move. GE had already been taken over by the federal bankrupt bank or went bankrupt and reorganized. Immelt's turn is up to him today. Sitting opposite Song Yang, to be sarcastic to Song Yang!

Immelt thought about it carefully, Song Yang did not force him, on the contrary, Immelt insisted on going his own way, and even used his power to suppress Song Yang, asking Song Yang to sell the shares of ICQ and cut off the leeks of General Electric. It seemed that he had to say thank you to Song Yang. Thinking of this, Immelt felt even more frustrated.

   "Song, I think you didn't ask me to come here today to talk to me. Who was right and who was wrong back then!"

Immelt suppressed his desire to continue arguing. Facing Song Yang, Immelt really had the feeling that he could not be beaten or scolded. Once Song Yang revealed his old background, Immelt felt blood pressure. Straight to the forehead.

"of course not!"

Song Yang chewed the last piece of steak, wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at Immelt and said, "I said, before and now, General Electric is a company I admire, not one of them, Welch The president and Immelt are also the professional managers I respect the most, American people, no one wants to see the fall of General Electric!"

Seeing Song Yang's sympathetic attitude, and pulling him out, and comparing him with Welch, who is currently serving as a consultant for the North American Global Investment Foundation, Immelt's eyelids jumped again. He always has a kind, Song Yang wanted to feel that General Electric was plotting something, but he couldn't figure out what Song Yang wanted.

   "After the World Trade Center incident, all the companies in America are having a hard time. President Immelt, this time he is coming to Washington, isn't he here for tourism?!"

Song Yang pointed at Immelt, and without waiting for Immelt to get angry, Song Yang said directly, "I met with the Cowboy Commander yesterday, and today I will continue to talk to the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Securities Commission, the Federal Several directors of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Federal Ministry of Justice continued to meet.

I hope that President Immelt can meet these people with me. This time, I hope to meet with President Immelt again, just like when Alcatel Mobile was responsible for the acquisition of the French Alcatel Group, and General Electric...acquired Alcatel Stone! "
