Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Turk coughed lightly and said, "So, everyone is here?

The clerk nodded and said, "Yes." As he spoke, he signaled Dian Wei's existence with his eyes. The latter obviously should not sit on such an important board of directors.

Whittaker looked at Huang Xuan, while classmate Xiao Huang pretended not to see it.

Dian Wei narrowed his eyes and glanced at Aiken who was about to speak. Mr. Mather immediately dismissed the desire to speak.

It's a momentum.

Momentum is not invisible, invisible, or inaudible.

An imposing person will use his eyes, gestures or words to make the people around him feel pressure until they are silent, and these people will indirectly affect more people.

Just like in a dance party, someone's anger can easily affect the people around him. This is a kind of imposing performance under special conditions. Similarly, in an office, a cold-faced boss will lower the surrounding temperature.

Momentum needs a carrier, not too much, but never less, force and coercion are the most effective, and power can also play the same role, sometimes very subtle, but not always. Just like the value of futures, 99% of the people in the London Metal Exchange will not ask for, and are not qualified to ask for spot delivery, but if there is no spot delivery, futures are gambling.

Undoubtedly, Dian Wei is a very imposing person - Cao Cao's evaluation of "the evil comer from the past", this is a ferocious aura, more precisely, he is a fearsome person.

Aiken was terrified.

no doubt.

Whittaker rubbed the corners of his mouth with his melanin-increased olive palm, and smiled again: "Close the door and we'll begin."

Huang Xuan leaned his body weight on the back of the chair, and Stephenson, who was sitting at the other end of the long table, relaxed a little. If Kaoru fights - in his ten-year COO experience, he has not received a similar education.

No one spoke, Whitaker motioned to the secretary behind him, and said, "This document will determine the fate of SBC for a long time to come. I hope everyone will seriously consider it and make a decision."

Whittaker's equity is only 18. He at least needs to win over the average people here before he can pass this document.

Gently opened the cover, the word m\u0026a (merger and acquisition) appeared on the first line of the first paragraph, Huang Xuan smiled slightly, and then scrolled down. Unsurprisingly, the target of the acquisition was AT\u0026T, the well-known representative of American Telecom. The biological father of the little Bells.

Immediately, some directors let out a faint exclamation. Although AT\u0026T's performance has declined, it is still a giant in enterprise-level telecommunications. On top of that, AT\u0026T was such a big name.

Before the U.S. government divided it into 8 parts, it once monopolized the market for half a century. Even now, AT\u0026T still holds the two major killers of long-distance calling and enterprise-class telecommunications services.

The introductory document wasn't very long, and Whittaker noticed that most people had already read it all. "No". Said: "Everyone, the acquisition of AT\u0026T is a plan. And now. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Whittaker's voice was calm and steady: "Just two weeks ago, AT\u0026T released their business forecast for the second half of this year. Due to the impact from Internet calls, their revenue from long-distance calls may be reduced by 50% in the second half of this year. At the same time, it is affected by many aspects, such as suspicion of the US economic downturn, competition from overseas companies, etc., the operating income of enterprises, especially traditional multinational enterprises, has dropped sharply, which may only reach 70% of the same period last year. In other words, this year The American Telephone and Telegraph Company may cause losses of more than 5 billion U.S. dollars. According to the Goldman Sachs report, it is U.S. dollars."

Everyone was in an uproar. Only shareholders such as Huang Xuan, who have already known about these places from different channels, can sit there calmly.

"At\u0026t's operating income last year was 65 billion, while its expenses were 57 billion. If its revenue fell by 40, its profit would only be 390 US dollars, and its loss would be 18 billion US dollars. This is the responsibility of its shareholders. Therefore, between us and After AT\u0026T actively negotiated the |: case." Whitaker said, his face was also full of pride, if the merger is successful, he will take the top spot in the US telecommunications industry.

"What's the amount?" asked Walsh of the Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group is a miracle in the U.S. capital market. It is a low-key investment group with the equivalent of a nuclear bomb. Their investment philosophy is to unite political leaders from all over the world and mainly invest in companies and companies founded by governments with certain policy advantages. industries, such as defense product contractors; or

Companies with a lot of government influence, such as telecommunications companies. Then hire people with them, and get involved in the financial industry and the aviation industry at the same time. Their united government officials include: Bush Sr., who is still the governor of Texas-he visited South Korea on behalf of the Carlyle Group after leaving office, and made a $10 investment; Later, he became a shareholder of major arms groups; appointed former British Prime Minister John Major, and made Mr. Prime Minister and Soros, who defeated the British pound, become colleagues... In addition, there are many characters that are not familiar to the Chinese: former Vice President Argo Al (al.re) and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and William Kennard, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (federalationssion).

Huang Xuan was extremely sure that this Walsh must have known about the chairman, who was William u | affairs. At that time, the Carlyle Group was.

And Southwestern Bell wants to merge AT\u0026T, the first step is to obtain the approval of the company.

A standard American version of government-business collusion is different from China in that lobbying is not guilty.

Whittaker was very cooperative and said, "160 dollars."

"Wow." Someone shouted again.

Whittaker smiled and said: "The price of AT\u0026T has reached the bottom. If we buy it, I can guarantee that the investment will be recovered at the latest. According to our estimates, the merger with AT\u0026T will not only allow us to make long-distance calls and We are ahead of the competition in enterprise services, and we can save $2 billion a year in our own business."

"Sounds good." Aiken finally said, "What do you think, China Huang?"

"If you call me Mr. Huang, I will be more grateful." Huang Xuan grinned and said, "Sounds good."

The two people said a few words, which seemed to express the meaning of abstention. Walsh immediately stood up and said: "We think it is absolutely wise to acquire AT\u0026T. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

However, Stephenson knew that Aiken and Huang Xuan would definitely not abstain, but neither of them wanted to speak first. But the former is a representative of the Cleveland Consortium, and the latter also has the background of Huang's Fund. In terms of the total amount of funds, it is more than the Carlyle Group's 300 US dollars. Even if you really get angry and mess around, it is not impossible. .

Whittaker, who has already understood the cause and effect, obviously has the same worry. He did not ask the opinions of the third and fourth shareholders first, but began to ask the other directors one by one. No matter how much these two young people have in mind, it doesn't matter when it comes to mergers and acquisitions.

But unexpectedly, Whitaker received only 40 support, excluding nearly 20 tradable shares. Most of the shareholders present agreed to Whitaker's merger plan, but the problem is that this is not enough.

Aiken looked at Huang Xuan with a smile. Dian Wei was already standing behind Huang Xuan, and the distance created safety.

Judging from the information he got from his friends in the fbi, Huang Xuanqiu, because this Chinese person has used almost all of his assets to buy SBC stocks, but Aiken gave up a wonderful night to look through the information, but he couldn't find it. What exactly does Huang Xuan want.

Both sbc and at\u0026t have hundreds of millions of patents, talents, and channels. Mr. Mather's experience is not enough to find the connection between mpge's patents and bd.

However, Aiken has made up his mind to make trouble.

Whitaker began the second round of descriptions, trying to win more shareholders to agree to the merger plan. Because obviously, unless Huang Xuan and Aiken join forces, the agreement cannot be reached anyway.

Huang Xuan also quickly understood this.

It's just a mess.

As long as Aiken votes correctly, the merger will probably fail, and even if Huang Xuan votes against it, the number of votes to induce Aiken to vote for 48 is still not enough.

The good news is that there may be shareholders who switch camps and join the favour. Moreover, Aiken doesn't really understand whether the merger is good or bad-even Whitaker can't guarantee that the sbc stock after the merger|do you want the merger to succeed or fail? .
