Back To 1995

   Chapter 182 One Step Away

   Unlike last time at the headquarters of the Telephone and Telegram Group, Best did not directly reject Song Yang this time.

   Since the cooperation with America Telecom, the share price of Telephone and Telegraph Group has been rising in the past few days, which is one of the important reasons for the change of attitude of Telephone and Telegraph Group!

  Because it has been watched by the American Trade Commission, the Telegraph Group has been split twice, and in fact has long lost its ambition.

  Think about it, I finally managed to save so many people, and as a result, it was split twice in a row, and a hundred years of hard work was wasted.

Over the years, the primary purpose of the Telephone and Telegraph Group has been to stabilize its position as the leader in the long-distance telephone market, and for this purpose, at most, it can only make small moves. The acquisition of the Telephone Group is fine, the acquisition of the Telephone and Telegraph Group is waiting to be split.

  Last year, instead of the trade commission’s door-to-door service, the Telephone and Telegraph Group took the initiative to split itself and divided its own into three. Before the introduction of the new Telecom Act, they used the self-solving method of the devil, and directly divided one into three.

   The splits are Lucent, a telecom equipment manufacturer, and NCR, a computer business.

It can be basically understood that the telephone and telegram group that was not split last year was a combination of China Mobile and Huawei, and now the latter has been split, but both companies are among the top 100 giant companies in America. You can imagine how strong the Telegram Group is, if you don't stare at who to tear it down...

   Therefore, the Telephone and Telegraph Group does not resist the splitting of the business, the key is how to play.

   "How does America Telecom plan to cooperate?!" Best didn't say whether to give up the broadband business to America Telecom, but still asked Song Yang's plan.

When they heard Best's words, everyone in the conference room raised their spirits, even Kenneth and the other two were no exception. Even if they thought about it with their toes, they didn't understand enough. Once they got the broadband service of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, The American Telecom might really become a giant in the telecommunications industry, and the tens of billions of dollars in valuation blown by An Ran might become true, and it is far more than that!

  Song Yang knew that the Telephone and Telegraph Group had to see that the cooperation with America Telecom could make more money than operating the broadband business by himself, so that he could get the other party to agree to this cooperation.

   "The future of America Telecom will be based on wireless network and broadband services!"

Song Yang pondered for a while and said, "If the broadband business of America Telecom can get the support of the broadband business department of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, and with the support of Enron and other companies, it will be able to gain access to Silicon Valley, New York, Texas, etc. within one to two years. In the three major markets, in the future, America Telecom's broadband business will be dominated by major corporate customers in America, and will mainly open broadband services in big cities such as San Jose, New York, Texas, Los Angeles, and Chicago!"

   The most profitable broadband business is definitely to provide services for big companies, just like the line from American Telecom Chicago to New York, which is provided for Wall Street companies, it is crazy to make money.

Song Yang plans to let America Telecom first occupy the two major markets of Silicon Valley and New York. One is the Internet and the other is Wall Street. The two largest user groups in America are in the hands of America Telecom. As for Texas, by the way, there is Enron. Now, other telecommunications companies are basically impossible to enter Texas, the exclusion of the Lone Star State is not blown out.

In the future, America Telecom will mainly play in major North American cities such as New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, etc. As for other small cities, America Telecom will be too lazy to care. The Liga people are in charge, as long as Ameritrade makes money it's enough...

Hearing that Song Yang was going to let America Telecom occupy the Silicon Valley telecom market next, Best's eyes moved. After winning Wall Street, if he could win Silicon Valley again, then America Telecom could really become a money printing machine. The key is that America Telecom is a Song Yangde, who is "his own person" in Silicon Valley, naturally has more advantages than other telecommunications companies!

   "In addition to the broadband business, the other thing I hope to cooperate with is the mobile business!" Song Yang said to Best.

   Seeing that Best's eyes narrowed, he thought that Song Yang was eyeing the mobile phone communication business of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. Song Yang immediately said, "I hope that America Telecom can cooperate with the Telephone and Telegraph Group in the mobile Internet business!"

   "If we can share the wireless communication market, I hope to continue with the broadband business. The Telephone and Telegraph Group is responsible for the mobile phone call market, and America Telecom is responsible for the mobile Internet business."

  Best couldn't help pondering for a while, then said, "Song, do you think there will be opportunities in the mobile phone network market?"

  The current mobile phone market, although developing rapidly, is still not worth mentioning compared with the traditional fixed-line market.

In addition, the mobile Internet market of mobile phones is still being explored. In the laboratory, mobile phones that can access the Internet have already appeared, but in the market, major mobile phone brands have not yet released a mobile phone that can truly support wireless Internet access. .

  Song Yang chuckled, "I don't think there is an opportunity in the mobile Internet market, I think the mobile Internet era will become a new era after the PC Internet!"

   As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but change their expressions. An Ran, who had tasted the sweetness of the Internet, couldn't help but speculate on Song Yang's words.

   The growing Internet now belongs to the era of PC Internet, but how long has it been since this wave has arisen, Song Yang even threatened to open the next era of mobile Internet.

"Of course, it may take a long time in the middle, five, ten years or even longer, but I believe that in the future, users will need to use mobile phones to surf the Internet, use mobile phones to send emails, browse news, even shopping, games, etc. , these all need to use the Internet!"

Song Yang also reminded that entering the mobile Internet is just a warm-up, and it will not be rushed in. If you are half a step ahead, you are a genius, and if you are ten steps ahead, you are a lunatic. For 20 years, someone has played that is a black technology, and now this thing is a loss of Motorola's crotch. Goubuli.

   "Actually, I'm ready to invest in Internet-related electronic hardware equipment companies in the electronic hardware market, and maybe I will be able to cooperate with America Telecom at that time!"

  Song Yang smiled and said something vague. He didn't directly say that he wanted to enter the mobile phone industry, but he warned these people in advance.

As soon as these words came out, Best looked at Song Yang with deep meaning. Kenneth and Jeff Skilling also looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes. There were many industries that An Ran entered, but Song Yang has a lot of fun here, not to mention the Internet industry to the telecommunications industry, and now he wants to enter the mobile phone industry, and Song Yang has been clamoring to shoot a movie in Hollywood to promote Internet culture. , They don't know, what else Song Yang can do!

After    finished speaking, Song Yang looked towards Best, Song Yang said everything he had to say, but whether he was willing to cooperate or not, it still depends on the wishes of the Telephone and Telegraph Group.

After a long while, Best finally spoke under the attention of everyone in the conference room, "If the Telephone and Telegraph Group transfers the broadband business department to America Telecom, I hope that the Telephone and Telegraph Group can get the restructured America Telecom. 40% stake!"

   "President Best, you know this is impossible!"

   Before Song Yang could speak, Kenneth couldn't sit still, "Enron only got a 5% stake in America Telecom!"

If you really want to do this, then the whole world will know that Kenneth has a private transaction with Song Yang. Otherwise, why would he make such an outrageous investment? For $500 million, he asked for a 5% stake in America Telecom. With Duang's touch, the telephone and telegrams were taken away. The stake in America Telecom is eight times more than that of Enron. Is Enron shameless? !

  Best resisted the urge to complain, An Ran was playing outrageously, and now it was the Telephone and Telegraph Group, which had broadband services. It's not very good now, but the thin camel is bigger than a horse.

It really ceded the fiber broadband business department to America Telecom. At that moment, America Telecom could become a mainstream telecom player in America, and it could add thousands of kilometers of telecom lines and increase hundreds of thousands of users in an instant, even if these The combined income of users is not as much as that of Wall Street, but it is also scary to look at. Isn’t it more confident to invest in the flickering dog? !

"President Best, America Telecom also has enough assets and users. Cooperating with America Telecom, not only America Telecom has obtained the broadband business of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, but also after the Telephone and Telegraph Group, it can also obtain the users of America Telecom, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, etc. Market users in , Texas and other places also belong to the Telephone and Telegraph Group!"

   Song Yang said, pulling the calf, and replaced all the things that had no shadow at all with the assets of America Telecom.

But at this time, I don’t care so much. “Once America Telecom can merge with the broadband division of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, after the reorganization, the Telephone and Telegraph Group can get 25% of the equity, and America Telecom will conduct a new round of financing. Open up new investments and businesses!"

Song Yang is telling Best to quickly let the Telegraph Group get into the car of America Telecom. After getting in the car, he will go to Wall Street to make money, and then start to buy, buy, buy, and the Telegraph Group can also use this cooperation to continue to raise its share price. .

   "28%!"

  Best said, "I need to be accountable to the board of directors of Telephone and Telegraph. If I can't become the main investor of America Telecom, then the transaction of Telephone and Telegraph Group will be meaningless!"

  Song Yang glanced at the conference room, and first glanced at Kenneth, who immediately said, "Enron also needs to increase investment and continue to ensure Enron's status in America Telecom after the reorganization!"
