Back To 1995

   Chapter 158 Shuffle

   Song Yang and Edison both looked at each other unto be outdone. One was an upstart in the Internet industry, and the other was a well-known madman investment manager on Wall Street. Neither of them took a step back at this time.

"There are more than 400 companies investing in futures trading on Wall Street. The high-frequency trading market in the Chicago futures market is worth 20 billion US dollars each year, and there are only 200 trading seats that America Telecom can supply!" Song Yang told Edison to a said a senior executive at the investment bank of Deutsche Bank.

   This is to tell the Deutsche Bank Investment Bank that American Telecom will not supply this line to all Wall Street companies, but will only be used by 200 traders in half of the companies in this line!

   Hearing Song Yang's words, Anshu Jiaen, who was sitting next to Edison, was quite moved. This was an opportunity for Deutsche Bank Investment Bank.

  With the help of America Telecom's new line, nearly half of the Wall Street futures companies can be eliminated. If Deutsche Bank can seize the opportunity, it may not be without the opportunity to become a big player in this industry!

Shuffle has always been the best opportunity for newcomers to enter the market. Deutsche Bank's investment banking business has just started. For those companies that have stabilized in the futures market, the emergence of American Telecom is an uncertain factor, but For Deutsche Bank, it is a rare opportunity to expand market share!

   But looking at Addison's staring look, An Shu's words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back.

  Addison looked at Song Yang in front of him, put his hands on the table, and leaned forward slowly, "So, Song, are you threatening me?!"

Greck and Marcuston, who were sitting across from Addison, felt a surge of pressure on their faces. Addison was not the leader of Wall Street at the moment, but this momentum was a bit terrifying, making them all feel a burst of pressure. .

Addison is not as powerful as Goldman Sachs DePaulson, Lehman Brothers bulldog Dick Fuld, or Credit Suisse's John Mark, but he is backed by Deutsche Bank, not to mention Wall Street. Few people in America would dare to threaten him!

Song Yang, who was stared at by Addison, also felt the pressure, but he still did not take a step back. It was not that Song Yang wanted to carry the Wall Street madman, but that there was no way back. Without the expected income, Song Yang had to fill in the huge holes of hundreds of millions of dollars!

"Mr. Addison, you know that I have no intention of provoking you and Deutsche Bank, I'm just stating the fact that America Telecom's Chicago Wall Street line can only hold 200 seats. I didn't force Deutsche Bank to buy America Telecom's line seats. I'm just giving Deutsche Bank a suggestion!" Song Yang said calmly to Edison.

   Addison suddenly smiled, as if it wasn't him who suddenly turned his face just now. Leaning on the seat, Addison didn't seem to mind and asked, "What price does America Telecom want?!"

The contrast between    Addison's before and after made Greck, Marcus, Spivey and others a little confused, but when Addison asked about the price, it proved that Deutsche Bank was still willing to negotiate.

   I don't know what Edison was playing, but when Edison asked for the price, Song Yang still nodded to Marcus.

  Marcus said to Edison and the people at Deutsche Bank, "America Telecom has set a price of $300,000 per seat per month for this line..."

As soon as he said this, the Dexin side immediately became agitated, An Shu said to Marcus, "This is impossible, now the line charges provided by Telephone and Telegraph, Verizon, and WorldCom to Wall Street are less than every month. Thirty thousand dollars!"

Anshu was about to say that America Telecom is robbing money. Wall Street is rich, but it can’t be slaughtered like this. According to such charges, that Wall Street company pays more than the annual fee for this line alone. Billion Dollars.

   But this time, Addison stopped An Shu from continuing to speak. Addison waved his hand and motioned for Marcus to continue.

   "America Telecom's line costs $300,000 per month, and the contract period is five years. If you can pay all the fees at one time, American Telecom can be a seat, discounted to $15 million!"

"These costs, in addition to usage costs, also include maintenance costs. America Telecom will send staff 24 hours a day to deal with client problems. Even if the line is cut due to an accident, we will provide a backup line, and within eight hours All the internal restoration, America Telecom can guarantee that this is the fastest line in the world, and it is also the safest line!"

   "In the later period," Spivey continued at this time, "American Telecom will also update this line, including upgrading to new telecommunications equipment such as broadband and fiber optics, to ensure that it is the fastest in the world!"

Hearing that the five-year seat fee for the line is as high as 15 million US dollars, the people from Deutsche Bank did a simple calculation, and they were all silent. A seat, how can one earn three billion dollars? !

Even if the cost of this line is high, it cannot exceed US$500 million, and there may be maintenance and upgrade costs in the later stage, but with billions of US dollars in cash in your pocket, isn’t it fragrant? A billion dollars in cash, what can't you do?

   Even the telecom giants in America, there are only a few that can make so many dollars a year.

Looking at Song Yang in front of him, Anshu Jain and several senior executives of the investment bank of Deutsche Bank all had strange expressions on their faces. They didn't know that when America Telecom sold all 200 seats, they would It's time to call Song Yang Mr. Billion Dollars, or Mr. Two Billion Dollars!

   "Thirty seats, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank wants them!"

   After hearing the offer, Edison didn't think about it, so he directly won 30 seats, and several hundred million dollars just smashed it out.

Song Yang was also stunned for a moment, and then reacted, not to mention Greck, Marcus, Spivey and others, they did not expect that Edison would be so decisive. The first order was smoother than they thought. many.

"but…"

   Edison had a smile on his face, "I also have a few small requests here, I think Song, you shouldn't refuse!"

  Song Yang frowned, then sighed in his heart, he knew it wouldn't be so simple, how could someone like Addison be the one who suffers.

   However, Edison had to make conditions, Song Yang was relieved, because he had expected it before he came.

   "Mr. Addison, please speak!" Song Yang said.

   "First, Deutsche Bank wants to become the stock underwriter of Double Click Company!" Edison said, looking directly at Song Yang.

  Song Yang also directly said, "This matter needs to be discussed. In order to ensure the effect of publicity and promotion, Double-click will not choose an exclusive stock underwriter!"

   "It is enough for Deutsche Bank to be one of the double-click stock brokers!"

   Edison waved his hand and said beyond doubt that he didn't care, how many shares of Double-click Company could be sold by Deutsche Bank.

Instead, we should take the opportunity to develop the users of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank. Everyone can see that the Internet is hot. If Deutsche Bank can become a double-click stock agent, then Deutsche Bank Investment Bank can take the opportunity to develop a group of high-quality customers, and it can also improve its performance. In America's popularity, this is what Edison needs. On the contrary, how much money can be made by this order, or whether it makes money or not, for Edison, he doesn't care at all.

   "Second, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank wants to invest in ICQ Company. Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is willing to invest in ICQ at a higher price than the market in exchange for 10% equity!"

   "The last point, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank wants to become a partner of America Telecom, Song, this is a suggestion, if America Telecom wants capital investment or mergers and acquisitions, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is willing to help!"

   Edison said the last sentence to Song Yang meaningfully.

   Now it was Song Yang's turn to have some headaches. Sure enough, Edison's money was not so easy to get. He wanted money from Deutsche Bank Investment Bank.

  Marcus and Greco leaned over to Song Yang and whispered, Edison's conditions sounded domineering, but not unacceptable.

   After finishing talking about the conditions, Edison looked at Song Yang calmly. He put forward these conditions, but it was not for nothing.

   The frenzy of the Internet is setting off. Billionaires are born on Nasdaq. Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup and other companies behind this are making a lot of money.

   Since last year, several major investment banks on Wall Street have started to make profits in the Internet industry. Netscape's listing is a landmark event. This year, a number of Internet companies have gone public like dumplings, and Wall Street is waving their flags behind them.

  It is absolutely impossible to say that Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is not jealous, but as a latecomer to Wall Street, it has just been established for more than a year. If you want to enter this gluttonous feast of the Internet, you have to find an opportunity.

The arrival of Song Yang today made Edison see an opportunity. Deutsche Bank set up an investment bank, but it just doesn't look down on the lending business of traditional banks. If you want to play exciting, the performance of the Internet in the stock market is undoubtedly a huge gain. Internet companies make money or not, but their stock prices soar.

  Investing in ICQ is the test of Deutsche Bank’s investment bank in America’s Internet industry led by Edison. Once it succeeds, Deutsche Bank’s investment bank will become famous, and the next step will be large-scale investment.

As for the final condition, Edison is betting on America Telecom and will not be willing to guard the line of Chicago and New York. Now is the period of chaos in the telecom industry. If America Telecom wants to make any big moves, it is inseparable from the United States. Knives, and Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, the most important thing is money!

  If Deutsche Bank Investment Bank can help America Telecom gain a foothold in the telecom industry in America, or even go a step further and become a small giant, then Deutsche Bank Investment Bank will also get huge returns.

Edison's goal is to build a Deutsche Bank investment bank like Goldman Sachs, which can influence the world situation. An analysis report from Goldman Sachs can affect an industry, and whichever region is undervalued can cause the stock market in any region to collapse. The pillar companies in this region are all under the investment map of Goldman Sachs. Edison hopes that Deutsche Bank Investment Bank can also do this!
