American Fortune Life

New York.

"Boom boom"

"Come in."

"Boss, Andy Smith is back in New York."

General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt, who was looking down at the documents, with one arm propped on the table and fingers between his brows, heard the secretary's report, and looked up at the secretary with a frown.

"When did it happen? How do you know?"

"Around 1:30 noon, he and Ivana appeared together in a Michelin restaurant, refreshing the news..."

"?" Jeff Immelt frowned and muttered. He had heard of this news website, which was launched by Andy Smith. It claimed that everyone can be a reporter, and everyone can broadcast news to make money.

As long as you register as an account, you can use the app on your mobile phone to publish the news that happens around you on the Internet at any time. As long as you read a lot, you can make money.

It also caused some discussion before because of its possible violation of personal privacy, but it seems to have published censorship and disclaimers later.

I have to admire that bastard Andy Smith is indeed a business genius. He can come up with such an idea, especially the way of reading news with infinite scrolling. flow.

"Everybody's a reporter. . . a joke."

Jeff Immelt took the phone handed over by the secretary, looked at the picture of Andy hugging his face with a happy smile, and Ivana, whose eyes were always looking at him, and the scattered bodyguards stretched out their hands to cover the camera. Said mockingly.

Listening to the boss's ridicule, although the secretary on the side didn't change his face, he understood in his heart that no matter how much the boss hates Andy Smith, it has indeed developed unstoppably, and the slogan that everyone is self-media is indeed attractive.

What's more, you can still make money, even if it's a little less, but everyone understands the truth that a little makes a lot. Anyway, it's not troublesome. If you have a mobile phone, you can take pictures of things around you, and maybe it will become everyone's concern. News has a chance to be pushed into the headlines.

No matter how much he hates Andy Smith and how resentful he is for the humiliation suffered by General Electric, Jeff Immelt has to hold his nose to face the reality and restart the negotiations on the nbc universal merger and acquisition case.

Because Andy Smith was already a member of the board of directors of nbc universal at this time, although the 20% shareholding ratio could not shake the company's power structure at all, but for various shareholders who required auditing, questioned the development plan, and required transparency in the flow of funds Reasonable requirements have brought a lot of trouble to nbc universal.

The representative sent by Andy Smith to the board of directors, like a supervisor who specializes in criticizing supervision, stares at nbc universal's various board resolutions and daily operations.

Since Andy Smith expressed his willingness to restart the negotiation in front of the media, there has been no follow-up at all. He originally thought that Andy Smith was embarrassed by General Electric's suppression and had not contacted to start the M\u0026A negotiation.

It wasn't until representatives entered the board of directors and after a series of tossing, they didn't know that Andy Smith, a bastard, was obviously going to make trouble inside NBCUniversal.

The shareholder representative, who obviously has a tendency to explode, is like a cudgel, tossing inside NBC Universal. To be honest, it is definitely impossible to say that there are no problems inside a large company like NBC Universal. Therefore, although It is not enough for everyone to be in danger, but it also allowed the more annoying shareholder representative to gain a firm foothold, and it seemed that he had secretly recruited some personnel.

Thinking of the pressure from major shareholders, Jeff Immelt had no choice but to pick up the phone against his will and call Andy Smith.

The stock market's reaction was swift and brutal. GE's stock price is still hovering around $1. Under the general trend, even if the company has carried out a repurchase, it is still difficult to achieve a significant improvement.

Numerous investors have increasingly criticized GE's management and the CEO, and there have been some bad signs and words about him within the board of directors.

That has forced him to find a way to boost the stock price before things get worse.

The next time he faces hundreds of investors in midtown Manhattan, he, the CEO, must also come up with a slimming plan and specific actions to win back the hearts of Wall Street.

"... Hehe, sorry, Jeff, I just got back to New York, I need to rest, well, if the weather is fine, tomorrow afternoon, okay, no problem, then see you at the club tomorrow afternoon, bye."

Andy hung up the phone, and smiled at Ivana who had a sweet smile on his face: "It seems that Karl is doing a good job at NBCUniversal."

Ivana shook her head and laughed. She naturally knew the meaning of her man's words, and said with a charming smile: "Ge is going to compromise? But, my dear, you still have to be more cautious. Regarding this ge penny stock incident, it has made many people The loss is heavy, whether it is the Vanguard Group or Blackstone..."

Andy gently reached out and patted Ivana's little hand, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, my dear, since I decided to do that, I have taken everything into consideration, so don't worry."

"Hmm." Seeing Andy's confident and calm expression, Ivana's worries gradually dissipated. She was full of confidence in her man's business ability.

Andy is very aware of how popular and star company General Electric used to be, not to mention that the researchers it cultivated won two Nobel Prizes, helped the country win the World War, and were once a "symbol of the American business community". 200 of the top 500 CEOs even trained a US president.

However, no matter how beautiful the flower of prosperity is, it is inevitable to bear the fruit of decline. It was not Ge's original intention to go from "American Idol" to a muddy mess, but who can escape the abandonment of the times?

Andy's short selling in response to General Electric's suppression, although it has the effect of digging a hole, borrowing the general trend to crush, but it's not that Ge himself is already in deep trouble, and he gave Andy this opportunity.

If someone or a force resents him because of this matter, Andy absolutely believes it. Looking at Warren Buffett's reaction, it is not difficult to imagine how angry other GE's major shareholders will be.

However, what's the matter, is it because they are unhappy that Andy is going to miss this opportunity?

A joke, if you are timid, afraid of this and that, you don’t have to do anything, just buy some stocks and eat for nothing.

As for Ivana's worries, Andy naturally thought about it, or the same sentence, soldiers come to cover up, normal business competition, as a traverser, he has the advantages enough for him to avoid all possible business traps.

As for the abnormal means, ha ha. . .
