Back To 1995

   Chapter 266 The Uncrowned King

  Jian looked at Song Yang and Eric in front of him with a headache. He felt that after coming to the headquarters of Bank of Comerica, the day was more frightening than before.

  Song Yang and Eric are also very welcome. They don't treat Jia En as an outsider. Jia En is really afraid that one day, he will empty the Comerica Bank...

   "RICK is going to transform, to enter the women's clothing and cosmetics industry, it needs this capital to make acquisitions and investments!"

   Eric said to Jain with great interest, and he would turn RICK into a "women's paradise, men's favorite" theory and dumped it to Jain.

After hearing   Jian, he looked at Song Yang. He didn't believe that this theory could be played by Eric. If he had this vision and ability, Eric would not be the king of the night.

After   consideration, Jia En asked Song Yang, "Song, do you think RICK's plan will work?"

Eric and RICK, Jia En can't believe it, but Song Yang and Jia En have to believe it. If Song Yang is not involved in this matter, then Jia En will definitely not raise money for RICK, but with Song Yang, he will not. the same.

   "Jaen, you know, nothing is absolutely possible in the world, even the American Telecom back then!"

   "I do have some plans for RICK. RICK will be the first to acquire the Victoria's Secret brand, and there will be some plans in the future..."

   "Investing in RICK may not be a bad choice. If RICK's transformation is successful, it can enter the fields of women's clothing, cosmetics, jewelry, luxury goods, etc. There will be enough returns for Comerica Bank and you, Jia En!"

  Whether it’s a night show or Victoria’s Secret, what RICK does is to make a profit, but once RICK is transformed, it will probably bring amazing benefits.

   "I will report this matter to the directors of Kerimaia and the board of directors of Comerica." After thinking for a while, Jain said.

  Eric was a little anxious when he heard this, "Jaen, you know that RICK needs this capital, very much, and the acquisition plan will start soon..."

   "This requires the approval of the board of directors!" Jain also stared at Eric, who is not the head of the Comerica Bank and can act recklessly.

  Song Yang patted Eric on the shoulder, then looked at Jain, "I believe that Comerica Bank can make the right choice, just like investing in the Americas Telecom line before!"

  Song Yang told Jia En that investing in RICK this time would not be the same as investing in Inter-American Telecom before, allowing Comerica Bank to obtain huge profits and letting Jia En gamble again.

He didn't stay here in Song Yang. Jia En, who was full of worries, left the villa and rushed to the airport. Today in Song Yang, he encountered too many things. Comerica's directors report.

Whether it's PayPal's project or RICK's transformation, it's another difficult choice for Comerica Bank. In contrast, the tens of millions of dollars invested in the "Matrix" project is nothing. .

After Jia En left, Song Yang saw Eric's worried look, "Whether Comerica Bank will invest in RICK or not, the acquisition plan has to start. If necessary, the American Investment Foundation can provide funds for RICK. !"

   is ready to start the transformation of RICK, so naturally it is impossible to stop, just like the American Telecom at the beginning, there is no turning back, no matter what, you have to bite the bullet and go on.

  Wei's Secret has gradually become popular since last year, and some brand influences have begun to appear. If we don't make acquisitions, then wait for a period of time for Victoria's Secret to develop. I am afraid that it will not be a RICK company now, and it will be able to afford to exist.

   "Eric, you start contact with LB, the parent company of the Victoria's Secret brand, Wexner is a hard bone!"

Song Yang finished drinking the tea and said to Eric that the Victoria's Secret brand has long been out of the hands of the founder Roy Raymond, and as early as two years ago, Raymond, who sold the Victoria's Secret brand, had Because of the establishment of a new brand again, and eventually a lot of debt, two years ago, jumped directly from the Golden Gate Bridge!

The current Victoria's Secret brand belongs to LB, a veteran listed clothing company. The founder is Leslie Wexner. The directors of LB, including Wexner, are quite conservative. The average age of the board of directors is also the average age of the entire listed company. The biggest, the ghost knows how Wei Mi will develop in the hands of LB.

In fact, in the more than ten years that Wei Mi was acquired, it has been tepid, and there is nothing special, and it has not been listed as an existence that can be compared with the top clothing brands, until it began to compare with the three major American clothing brands. With the cooperation of Donna Cullen, one of the designers, Wei Mi's Bigger began to improve.

   Previously, the number of Victoria's Secret stores continued to increase, but the brand was not very popular, and even some people regarded Victoria's Secret as an unpopular brand associated with certain industries!

  Song Yang got up and smiled at Eric, "Maybe in a few years, you, the king of night shows in America, will have the title of Warren Buffett in the underwear world!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Eric couldn't help laughing. Buffett didn't know how he would feel when he heard this title, but Eric had some expectations for this title. Three of the top billionaires are enough to prove that in this industry, they have achieved the ultimate.

   After returning from Los Angeles, Song Yang was so busy that even Irene, a little wild cat, didn't make it to the past.

Raising funds for Western Pictures, busy with the transformation of RICK, and preparing for the trip to Asia, Song Yang will not just go around in Asia this time, but will invest a lot of money there to transform the production bases of some industries. , directly over there!

   After everyone left, Song Yang, Greck, and Marcus were left in the small villa, while Gallo and Ulf were guarding outside the villa.

   Song Yang looked at the document in his hand. The document was very thick and involved multiple projects, including a mobile phone brand to be acquired, an LCD TV project in cooperation with Bell Labs, and the last one was a chip project!

Since last year, Song Yang has been thinking about the mobile phone business. Recently, he finally got his eyes on it. What Song Yang needs is a brand with mobile phone R&D and production capabilities. Such an acquisition can produce mobile phones, but mobile phone brands cannot Too strong, otherwise Song Yang would not be able to buy it.

   And Marcus, Greck and others, through various channels, finally got in touch with a mobile phone company, the Alcatel mobile phone brand in France!

Alcatel mobile phone, the world's largest telecom infrastructure manufacturer, can be said to be from a famous family. Compared with other mobile phone brands, the starting point is not sure how much higher, but it is not up to expectations. With the channel, the sales volume is decent, and out of France, no one buys it at all.

The brand has been established for so many years, not to mention the challenge of Nokia, which is also in Europe, and even the Siemens mobile phone, which is incompetent. Although Alcatel is still profitable, internally, it has begun to sell the Bekaert mobile phone brand. Willingness , People from Alcatel's mobile phone marketing department even estimated that it may be a few years before there will be losses...

You know, these days, the mobile phone market has always been a seller's market. As long as it is produced, there is no need to worry about selling it. However, in this situation, Alcatel mobile phones are not profitable, and even risk losses. It is conceivable that the headquarters of Alcatel is What does it feel like.

  When the people from Song Yang's side came to the door, the two sides almost hit it off. Alcatel wanted to take advantage of the mobile phone brand, which was still valuable and could sell at a high price, and the Alcatel brand also met Song Yang's requirements.

Although Alcatel is a little underwhelming, it has technology. It has a complete mobile phone R&D team of more than 600 people, and a complete mobile phone production chain. Although most of them are also foundry, the technology is not bad, and the brand is well known. Yes, no matter whether it is bad or not, it still sells dozens of millions of mobile phones every year.

   "Song, Alcatel's price is not low, besides..."

  Marcus looked at Song Yang, "If the acquisition is completed, are you really ready to put Alcatel's production base and the newly prepared LCD TV production base on the Asian side?!"

Greg also stared directly at Song Yang. He knew Song Yang the most. Even if he hadn't asked Song Yang, he knew that Song Yang would definitely put the production base in the Asian country, not in the Asian country. Bangzi, Jiaozhi, Singapore and other places, and Song Yang not only buys a mobile phone brand, but also continuously invests in chip semiconductor, panel, battery and other industries.

Song Yang closed the documents in his hand, looked at Marcus and Greck who were both staring at him, and said with a smile, "Everyone does this, Motorola, HP, and Dell started building production bases there ten years ago. It's gone!"

"But they are different from you, Song..." Greg said with a serious face, those electronic brands are really aimed at making money, and the cost of production there is lower, but what is Song Yang going for, Greg K doesn't know.

   "It doesn't make any difference," Song Yang replied with an expressionless face, "As long as it can give enough returns to the people on Wall Street and Capitol Hill, no matter where the production base is placed, it doesn't make any difference!"

Looking at Song Yang and Greg who looked at each other, Marcus took off his glasses and rubbed his brows, then said, "Then what about PA Semiconductor, we really want to invest in this company that has just been established for less than half a year, just because of its founding. Is it Dobble?!"

Dobpoor is a god-level figure in the chip field. Although he is over fifty years old, he is still a leader in the chip industry. This year, Dobopoor just left DEC and started singles with a group of followers. Doing alone, established PA Semiconductor.
