Back To 1995 Chapter 1091

  Chapter 1091 One moment, another moment

   "This is the most important moment for you, Song. Of course I will come to witness it, just like when you became a multi-millionaire!"

   Holding a wine glass, although he is not tall, Martin Solo, who has been knighted by the Queen of England, is still as imposing as many years ago.

Seeing Jotus who was chatting with people not far away, Martin Solo recalled the past, couldn't help but smiled and said to Song Yang, "Song, no matter what, investing in you back then was the worst investment I've ever made." An investment with vision!"

  Recalling the time when WPP Group and the Wang An Group led by Jotus competed for the investment in Double-click Company, Martin Solo still couldn't help showing his pride.

Hearing the news of the double-click company's financing back then, Martin Solo called Song Yang without hesitation. When Song Yang was about to sign an agreement with Jotus, he took away the investment rights of Double-click. In the past few years, the WPP Group has enjoyed a lot of glory. It took a ride on the Internet, and its stock price has skyrocketed all the way. Martin Solo can also boast to the outside world. He has invested in a new richest man in the world.

Song Yang toasted with Martin Solo. No matter what he said, he had to acknowledge Martin's love for the advertising tsar. When Double-click's company account was about to be consumed, he got a large sum of venture capital from WPP Group. It also made Song Yang, along with Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan, Netscape Anderson and others, the first batch of people who stood on the Internet.

  After talking about the past with Song Yang, Martin Solo suddenly approached Song Yang with a serious face, "Song, I hope that no matter what, Song, you can stand by my side!"

  Hearing these inexplicable words, Song Yang froze for a moment. He didn't know why Martin Solo said these words. Looking at the expression of the advertising tsar, Song Yang nodded, "Of course!"

On such an occasion today, there are too many people who have a relationship with Song Yang, and it is impossible for Song Yang to talk too deeply with Martin Solo. After talking a few words, other people approached Song Yang with wine glasses beside.

   After a while, Jotus, whose eyes were full of exhaustion, came to Song Yang's side. After touching a glass of wine with Song Yang, he drank it down in one gulp.

  Even if he didn't speak, Song Yang looked at the top professional manager who was underestimated by the American media, and could feel that Jotus was not in a good mood at the moment.

   After drinking a glass of wine, Jotus asked Song Yang directly, which made Song Yang a little startled, "Song, are you willing to sell Feita Company, EMC Group can pay enough for the acquisition..."

   Saying that, Jotus couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, "Sorry, I'm really too big right now!"

  Jotus knows that with Song Yang's current value, even if he sells Fortinet, he can get billions of dollars, but for Song Yang's current value, this is just icing on the cake.

  Looking at Jotus who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, Song Yang asked, "EMC Group is not having a good time now?!"

According to the behavior of the Amerika Group, when the general performance is not good, or when the stock price is too low to invest in the board of directors and Wall Street, the CEOs of these large companies will generally choose to start the acquisition mode in order not to be swept away. It is a debt acquisition, as long as the stock price is raised, then his **** can be kept, and he can still get tens of millions of salary and dividends every year!

  Chotus is obviously having a hard time now, and he obviously wants to make this move, wanting to acquire Fortinet Antivirus Company, a company in the field of Internet security today, so that EMC Group can enter the field of network security.

   "Damn it, I'm afraid this year EMC will record the worst performance in the past ten years!"

Jotus said with an obscurity on his face that he was simply unlucky. Not long after he joined EMC Group as the president, the Internet bubble burst, NASDAQ collapsed, and EMC's performance directly collapsed. Before doing it in time, the EMC Group's revenue was reduced by half. This is revenue, not profit. The entire EMC Group is destined to suffer a big loss this year.

The wind of the Internet bubble burst is still blowing to all walks of life. Sun Corporation, EMC Group, etc. are all victims of this bubble. In the next few years, there will be countless large companies that will tighten their belts to live. Going down is unlikely, but life may be difficult.

   In fact, Jotus is already pretty good. He turned the tide and maintained the situation of EMC Group. Unlike Sun, which has been declining all the way, there are rumors of being acquired.

   "Perhaps, we are all old," Chotus smiled wryly, and glanced at Martin Solo, who was drinking alone in the distance, "Has Martin looked for you?"

   Without waiting for Song Yang to speak, Jotus revealed the answer, "The performance of WPP Group has also been affected. The WPP Group Board of Directors wants to impeach Martin Solo for abusing his power and assets of WPP Group, as well as personal misconduct, etc.!"

   Song Yang heard this almost "unnecessary" charge, and couldn't help feeling a little bit sad about Martin Solo. This almost wanted to drive away the founder of Martin Solo, and even farting could become a "crime".

  The collapse of the Internet has reduced WPP Group's Internet advertising revenue, and the traditional TV station, newspaper, and magazine advertising markets have been severely impacted by Internet advertising. This has made WPP Group's performance in the past two years very ugly, and its stock price has also been cut in half.

How did WPP Group develop? , becomes an abuse of power.

Now, Song Yang understands what Martin Solo meant by what he said just now. Old Martin obviously doesn't want to give in to the coercion of the WPP board of directors, and he doesn't want to end his career in a way of being aggrieved, which is really like his own. Like the idol Napoleon, he ended up leaving the empire.

But after so many years of acquisitions, borrowing from banks, old European consortiums, and Wall Street institutions to attract investment, Martin Solo's equity has basically been diluted completely. He now only has less than 2% of the equity of WPP Group, mainly because of Give yourself a huge salary and bonus to live. In the past few years, Martin Solo has taken more than 300 million pounds from WPP Group. He is the highest paid president in England and the whole of old Europe.

In the past, Martin Solo won consecutive battles and pushed WPP's stock price and market value to new highs. Under the strong power, no one can point to Martin Solo, but when WPP is in trouble, Martin Solo is in deep trouble, and his high salary has also become one of the reasons why he was targeted by the board of directors.

  Martin Solo didn't want to give in. He definitely wanted to fight with the group of people on the WPP Group's board of directors. He must have no chance of winning on his own, so Martin Solo found Song Yang.

  If an advertising tsar is not enough, then add an upstart who is the richest man in the world, will he be able to fight against those who dared to rebel against Martin Solo in the WPP Group? !

After Song Yang thought about the cause and effect clearly, he was not angry at Martin Sorolla for using him as a shield. The so-called "what you give, you will get." Similarly, if you want to get something, you must pay something else, something in this world, still fair...

Similarly, just like at the beginning, Martin Solo invested money in Song Yang and took away the equity of Double-click Company. Now, if Martin Solo wants to recruit Song Yang as a reinforcement, he also needs to pay a price, such as WPP As for the equity of the group, WPP Group used to claim to be the parent company of the Double-click Company, but in the future, why can't it be changed to Double-click as the parent company of the WPP Group!

   "Mr. Jotus, Fortinet Corporation and EMC Group may not have opportunities for cooperation. Perhaps Fortinet Corporation can acquire EMC Group!"

EMC Group is a giant company in the storage industry, and it can capture 35% of the global storage industry's market share. The current downturn is only temporary, especially since Chotus, a big cow, is in charge. Song Yang is not worried about the future of EMC Group at all. , as long as the acquisition is in hand, within ten years, it will be a giant company with an annual revenue of more than 20 billion US dollars!

   Hearing this, Jotus couldn't help laughing, and then looked at Song Yang's expression, Jotus realized that Song Yang really didn't seem to be joking with him!

   "Song..."

  Jotus suddenly felt astonished, angry, and other thoughts in his mind, and finally turned into a sigh. He suddenly felt that it was not impossible to consider this proposal.

  The scale of Feita Company is not comparable to that of EMC Group, but with Song Yang as a big financier, it may not be impossible to swallow elephants, and EMC Group can be considered to have found a big financier, and the troubles of EMC Group no longer exist.

   "I will consider this "crazy" proposal!" Jotus finally said to Song Yang with a sigh.

   "The wedding of the century in America, the commander-in-chief, Bill Gates and others participated in Bruno Song's wedding!"

  The next day, many American media reported on the wedding between Song Yang and Jenny yesterday, revealing photos from the street, which made headlines in many media.

   "Jenny was undoubtedly the luckiest woman in America yesterday. She wore a wedding dress worth more than 12 million dollars and completed a Princess Diana wedding!"

Hollywood Vanity Fair magazine chose a photo of Song Yang putting on a ring for Jenny, and then used a large amount of content to tell the audience who saw the magazine how expensive Jenny was wearing yesterday, from clothes to jewelry, and how expensive that outfit was. , It has almost become the ceiling of American wedding dresses.

"Jenny, who bears Bruno's surname, has entered the top ten list of the richest women in America. According to sources on Wall Street, before the wedding, Bruno Song transferred part of the equity of many companies including Wal-Mart and BMW to Jenny!" Forbes On the ranking list, there was also a wave of excitement, telling the melon eaters how much money was spent in yesterday's wedding, and how much Jenny's net worth soared.

   Many entertainment tabloid media in Los Angeles directly published a sensational media headline, "The Bruno family has become the number one wealthy family in America!"

  Although the mainstream media did not choose this title, tabloid magazines and Internet media platforms showed many photos of the wedding day, and the gathering of powerful figures from all walks of life made this name resound throughout the world.
