Back To 1995

  Chapter 186

  Kenneth and Jeff Skilling came to New York this time, not only to attend the shareholders meeting of American Telecom, but actually came to New York to find investors for Enron.

In the past two years, Enron has frequently made big moves, often investing tens of billions of dollars. Even if Enron is rich and powerful, it is impossible to come up with so much cash. It is absolutely necessary to find banks and institutions on Wall Street to pay for it. less things.

   Hearing Kenneth's words, Song Yang glanced at the two of them, shook his head and said with a smile, "The Telephone and Telegram Group has recommended candidates, but I haven't decided yet!"

   Kenneth nodded, "For America Telecom, the position of CEO is really important, but Song, I can provide America Telecom with a consultant, maybe America Telecom can use it."

Song Yang cast an inquiring look at Kenneth, and Jeff Skilling on the side said, "Kravis, Henry Kravis, the real king of leveraged mergers and acquisitions on Wall Street, the founder of KKR Group, if America Telecom can With Kravis's KKR Group as an investment advisor, I can't think of a company that would turn down a takeover by America Telecom!"

   Various thoughts flashed in Song Yang's mind, and then he glanced at Kenneth and Jeff Skilling. They would definitely not recommend Kravis and KKR Group to Song Yang as consultants for no reason.

  Kravis, the first king of mergers and acquisitions on Wall Street, is a godfather who interprets leveraged buyouts to the artistic level. Since his debut, he has acquired countless companies, and the most famous one is the acquisition of the American tobacco giant Nabisco.

KKR Group issued junk bonds, used $2 billion and leveraged $31 billion, defeated many opponents such as Express, Morgan, UBS, etc., and took Nabisco into the bag. That battle made Kravis sealed in one fell swoop. God, this incident was also written by Wall Street reporters into the annual bestseller "Barbarians at the Door"

  Three years ago, it was remade into a Hollywood movie, making Kravis the most eye-catching M&A master in the world.

   But when the two of Kenneth suddenly mentioned Kravis, they had to make Song Yang think more.

   "Of course, if you can invite Kravis, that's the luck of America Telecom!" Suppressing his thoughts, Song Yang said to the two of them.

  Kenneth heard that Song Yang would contact the KKR Group, so he stopped saying, "Song, we hope that America Telecom can go public successfully. This is what we all look forward to."

   Watching Song Yang leaving, Jeff Skilling asked Kenneth, "Do you think he will do what we want?!"

The reason why Kenneth recommended KKR Group to Song Yang is of course not for no reason. Investment consultants are nothing more than stalking rabbits, incidentally.

"certainly!"

   Kenneth seemed very confident, "Song is a smart person, we all understand that."

Hearing the words, both of them laughed, and then Jeff Skilling said, "Now the media in New York are starting to refer to Enron, Comerica Bank, Inter-American Telecom, and Song's companies as the Houston Gang and the Houston Consortium. !"

   "Houston Consortium?!" When Kenneth heard the nickname, he glanced at Song Yang's figure and turned to leave, "I like this title, but I hope it is Enron's Houston Consortium."

  On the golf course, Jenny and Hailey were waving their clubs, and a group of models called by Eric were also playing on the golf course.

  Eric, who was finally about to complete the America Telecom line, also relaxed, and put his arms around a model on the left and right, looking at Gallo with greedy eyes.

   Seeing Song Yang coming, Eric left the two models working in the RICK club, sat up, and asked Song Yang, "Kenneth, what did they say?"

  Eric knew which side he should stand on. Compared with the shareholders of America Telecom, the only thing Eric could do was to stand in the same camp with Song Yang and follow Song Yang firmly.

   "Recommended an investment advisor for Telecom Americas."

  Song Yang said something, then turned to look at Eric, "Wait for a line from America Telecom, RICK Group can act!"

Hearing this, Eric finally came to his senses. Before, Song Yang mentioned that to make RICK company a woman's favorite, a man's paradise, coupled with the investment in America Telecom, let Eric The listing plan of RICK was directly suspended.

   Right now, Eric has received huge profits from America Telecom, and naturally he is starting to care about RICK's business.

   "Song, RICK can start?!"

  Eric asked excitedly, Song Yang had talked to Eric before, the first step in RICK's transformation was to get a strong cash flow business, and Wei Mi became RICK's first goal.

Song Yang thought for a moment, then nodded, "When the America Telecom line is laid, you will handle RICK, and I will help you here. This year, RICK will take over the Victoria's Secret brand and hold a Victoria's Secret event. Big show, put Victoria's Secret in the Super Bowl next year, and completely start the reputation of Victoria's Secret!"

Eric screamed, and then showed that men know how to look. When the Victoria's Secret show is combined with the Super Bowl, the most eye-catching show in the world collides with the most hormonal sports, Eric does not He knew what kind of sparks would collide, but he knew that this topic and ratings were about to explode.

   At this time, Eric was a little wondering, how did Song Yang's brain come up with such an immoral, no, such a creative promotion method!

  In the hotel room, after a long toss, Song Yang lifted the quilt, Jenny climbed up from below, then got out of bed and went to the bathroom to rinse.

  Song Yang stroked Jenny's long hair and lowered his head to Jenny, who was curled up in his arms like a cat, "Maybe, we need to buy a property in New York?"

   Hearing this, Jenny raised her head and looked at Song Yang with bright eyes, "In New York?!"

  Song Yang nodded, "Not only New York, but Los Angeles also needs it. In the future, you will go to Hollywood!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Jenny was silent for a while, then yelled at Song Yang, and then kissed Song Yang like a chicken pecking at rice. Hollywood actresses are still renting apartments, and Jenny has not yet Entering Hollywood, you already have your own mansion.

Song Yang couldn't keep saving the huge dividends he got from America Telecom. He would definitely have to invest it. However, Song Yang also needs to stock up on real estate, especially in New York. Have been staying at the hotel.

  Buy now, whether it is America, Europe or China, basically you will not lose money, it is just a matter of earning more and earning less.

   "Tomorrow you go to the house with Gallo and Hailey, and I'll let Marcus follow!"

America Telecom just completed the reorganization, there are too many things for Song Yang to be busy with, Song Yang said, pulling Jenny, who slipped into the quilt, but Jenny just snorted, not knowing if she heard it or not, Song Yang took Zhan Nila came up and covered the two with the quilt.

   Early the next morning, he and Hailey went shopping on Fifth Avenue. In the afternoon, when Jenny, who had arrived in New York to see the house, left, Song Yang also started to get busy.

The first thing to do, of course, is to choose a suitable leader for America Telecom. After a wave of America Telecom, there are many professional managers on Wall Street who have volunteered. They all want to rely on America Telecom. No matter how big it is, those famous professional managers, the best professional managers, etc. are also very cautious, and they did not choose America Telecom lightly.

  The Telephone and Telegraph Group also recommended a few people, basically all of them were born in the Telephone and Telegraph Group, but in recent years, the relatively conservative Telephone and Telegraph Group has been a professional manager of what style can be imagined.

   It doesn't mean that these people are useless. If they can be picked by the Telephone and Telegraph Group, at least their ability is absolutely clear.

But the ability to pass the test may not be suitable for America Telecom. What America Telecom needs now is a strong general who can lead America Telecom to conquer the city. In other words, it can turn the Niu Bi that America Telecom once blew into reality. , such a character is not easy to find.

  Song Yang had a candidate in his heart, someone who was definitely not weaker than Bernard Ebbs, but Song Yang had no idea whether he could invite him or not.

  Song Yang, who was sitting in the office building of the New York operation center of America Telecom, thought for a while, but made a call.

  Wang An's company headquarters, Joe Tus, who was processing documents, heard the phone ringing. When he saw Song Yang's number, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he still connected the phone.

   "President Jotus!"

   The person who called Song Yang was Joe Tus. He was also the person Song Yang wanted to dig into America Telecom and serve as the president.

In terms of management ability, Joetus can rebuild Wang An Company from a pile of ruins. This ability to turn the tide is basically unique on Wall Street. Coupled with Joetus' vision and acquisition methods, if he can take the position of America Telecom If so, Song Yang is absolutely at ease.

   "Song, congratulations, I heard about America Telecom, and you created another miracle!" Chotus didn't know why Song Yang called him, but he still said to Song Yang.

  Song Yang complained, "America Telecom is in a mess right now, it's too annoying..."

  Jotus listened to Versailles to the extreme, he didn't know what to say, and he took a billion dollars from America Telecom. If it were him, Jotus would like to have such a headache forever.

   "President Joetus, in fact, I came to see you today because I have something to discuss with you!" After a few words, Song Yang entered the topic.

   Hearing Song Yang's words, Jotus, who has always gotten along well with Song Yang and made a lot of money from Hotmail, said directly, "Please speak!"

   But after listening to Song Yang's words, Chotus was stunned for a while, and then he came back to his senses, "Song, you mean, let me be the CEO of America Telecom?"
