Back To 1995 Chapter 155

   Chapter 155

  The major telecom giants are frantically recruiting, and small and medium-sized telecom companies are lining up to list, trying to make money while the market is hot.

   And the old telecom giants took the opportunity to issue new shares and bonds crazily, started financing on a large scale, and began to warm up for the big fish to eat the small fish, and prepare for the next gluttonous feast.

   "American Telecom also needs to take action. To be shortlisted for this hunting banquet, American Telecom must win the line from Chicago to Wall Street!"

Song Yang said to Spivey that this gluttonous feast of America's telecommunications industry is almost a rare event in the next few decades, and it is also the last opportunity to enter the media, telecommunications and other industries. If you find this store, you won't be able to enter the venue with a little money.

   "You are most familiar with Wall Street. Who do you think America Telecom should talk to?!"

   There are many Wall Street institutions, thousands of large and small institutions, and there are local institutions in America and overseas institutions. If you take the risk, everyone will know about it.

   Spivey thought for a moment and said, "The only ones who can buy the right to use this line of Inter-American Telecom must be big investment banks, banks, at least medium and above investment institutions!"

  Small investment institutions have a very tight life. Even if they know the benefits of this route, they may not be willing to come up with the money.

   "Let's go to Deutsche Bank first!"

   After thinking for a while, Spivey said a term, "Deutsche Bank formulated a global investment strategy the year before last, and is transforming from a traditional German bank into a global investment bank."

   "Last year, Deutsche Bank officially formed an investment team on Wall Street and officially began to enter America and the global investment market. It is a latecomer to Wall Street!"

  Deutsche Bank began to transform in 1994. In other words, Deutsche Bank felt that the German market could no longer satisfy it, and began to spread its wings to the European and North American markets. London and Wall Street were naturally the top priorities.

  Song Yang understood what Spivey meant. As a latecomer, Deutsche Bank was the challenger at this time. It was the most aggressive and willing to spend money to challenge several old-fashioned investment banks!

  Although it is a latecomer, Deutsche Bank is not bad at all. Since more than half a century after World War II, Deutsche Bank has been the engine that has made Germany prosperous again. Any company born in Germany cannot avoid it.

The parent company of Mercedes-Benz, Germany's largest store Karlstedt, Europe's largest sugar group Süd Sugar, century-class construction company Hertzmand, Europe's largest medical product supplier Hermann Group, etc., are all supported by Deutsche Bank. , Among these famous European companies, Deutsche Bank is either a major shareholder or an important investor.

   Even the management and board of directors of Deutsche Bank are composed of more than 400 German companies, large and small, and Deutsche Bank represents Germany to a certain extent.

And some people may see in the news that Amelica punishes Deutsche Bank for tens or tens of billions of dollars, or a company sues Deutsche Bank for how many dollars in compensation. Don't be surprised, this is the suzerain country of America, which is cutting my brother's leeks. , there are also huge fines against Japanese benzene, Bangziguo and other companies, which are basically the same. They are all suzerain countries, and they have a heavy love for their younger brothers...

  Song Yang heard Spivey mention Deutsche Bank, and immediately understood what he meant. This is to take Deutsche Bank and stimulate those old Wall Street institutions.

On the one hand, Deutsche Bank is not short of money. After setting up an investment bank on Wall Street, it immediately behaved aggressively, with a posture of swallowing Wall Street and reversing the outcome of World War II in the investment industry. On the other hand, facing the challenger Deutsche Bank, Wall Street Don't even dare to take it lightly.

  If America Telecom can get orders from Deutsche Bank, then other Wall Street estimates that in order to guard against Deutsche Bank, they must also cooperate with America Telecom!

   "You're ready, let's go to Wall Street together!" Song Yang explained to Spivey.

After    Spivey left, he thought for a while, Song Yang picked up the phone again and called Whitman, "Double-click over there and get ready, join me in New York!"

Before the contract of America Telecom is obtained, it still needs to be kept secret, so it is necessary to hide from the public and go to Wall Street under the banner of double-click listing. chips.

   Before going to Wall Street, Song Yang needs to deal with the things in San Jose. This time, he doesn't know how long it will take to go to Wall Street.

  Song Yang made several calls in a row to arrange ICQ's affairs. Now ICQ basically wants to recruit users, and while there are no competitors, it grows wildly.

   Let Irene sit at ICQ, and Evan Spiegel will be on top to help handle ICQ's overseas promotion. This is a chance for this guy. Whether he can seize the opportunity is up to him.

Gallo was sent by Song Yang to the construction site of the American Telecom line. He had to work with Eric, Oswald and others to spread the line to the door of New York, Pennsylvania, so that Song Yang could follow the old foxes on Wall Street. bargaining chips.

   After arranging ICQ's affairs with America Telecom, Song Yang, Greck and Marcus got up and went to New York together.

  After the start of this year, America's technology industry is still lively. ICQ has set off a frenzy of two concepts of "instant messaging" and "social networking", and crazily harvested users.

  The war between Netscape and Microsoft has escalated, and Microsoft's IE browser bundling system has attracted criticism.

The wave of Internet listings has officially set off. Lycos, Excite, and Yahoo! three competitors suddenly announced that they will be listed in April more than a month later. The three companies listed in less than ten days. G will play!

   The first two months after the beginning of the new year are even more lively than last year!

   At this moment, the current leader of America's Internet advertising, double-click the company to start a sprint to go public, and the news that he was looking for stock underwriters on Wall Street began to spread throughout the America Internet industry.

When Whitman, the president of Double-click, led the team to New York, there was no surprise that Song Yang went to New York, and the media did not report it. After all, as the founder and major shareholder of Double-click, Song Yang did not Going to New York is a little weird.

   At this time, the giants in the telecommunications industry who have been sharpening their swords will never imagine that there are still people who want to grab food and their New York telecommunications market!

  The plane landed at JFK Airport in New York, and it was still as busy as ever, showing the elegance of the world's largest airport in this era.

   But what was different from before was that this time, as soon as he got off the plane, Kavy Lane, who was in charge of the New York market and double-clicked the co-president, had already sent a team to welcome Song Yang.

   "Boss!"

   In a hotel not far from Double Click New York, and not far from the accommodation that Netscape had arranged for Song Yang and Jenny last time, Song Yang saw Ryan, who was glowing red.

   The current Ryan is completely different from the one he saw in Houston a year ago, and the sense of despair is gone.

  Song Yang looked at Ryan, who was dressed in a grand dress and had the demeanor of a big man on Wall Street, and said with a smile, "Lyman, it seems that you had a good time in New York!"

  Lion gave Song Yang a hug. The middle-aged man looked at Song Yang with a bit of excitement, "Song, everything I am here is because of you..."

   Double-click listing is more like a life change for Ryan. Compared to Song Yang, Lyman is more excited.

A year ago, Ryan was still a junior director of News Corp. Houston. His wife was seriously ill and his family savings was running low. Ryan also made the most important decision in his life and resigned from News Corp. , went to defect to Song Yang, who had just gained some fame on the Internet.

But now, Ryan made the right bet. In just over a year, he got everything he had never had in his first half of his life. The co-president of a company that was about to go public was considered a high salary in New York. In the past, Ryan was the Can't even think about it.

   "President Whitman is coming tomorrow!"

  Lian took Song Yang and the others into the hotel, and said to Song Yang, "Several Wall Street investment banks have come to them and want to represent the company to go public. Several investment banks are willing to raise $50 million in financing for Double-click!"

Hearing this, Song Yang couldn't help but pause for a moment. He didn't expect Wall Street to be so enthusiastic about DoubleClick. Yahoo just completed the listing and financing last month, and it only raised 30 million US dollars. Wall Street opened DoubleClick for the first time. The amount of financing they raised was even more than Yahoo, the title of the largest Internet advertising company in America, and it was worth a few cents more than Song Yang had expected.

   When he arrived at the hotel room, Song Yang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, opposite the Empire State Building, surrounded by signs of American giants.

   "When Whitman arrives, talk to the Wall Street investment bank about Double Click!" Song Yang said to Ryan.

  Lian nodded first, then reacted, looking at Song Yang and said in shock, "Song, you didn't come to New York to double-click..."

  Song Yang did not admit or deny, "I will handle the double-click, but before that, there is one more thing I need to deal with first. Talk to Whitman about the double-click!"

Ryan opened his mouth and closed it again. He didn't ask any further questions. He could let Song Yang come to New York exclusively on the pretext of Double-click listing, and he could let go of Double-click to deal with the upcoming listing. Ryan didn't know what Song Yang was going to deal with, but He knew this matter, and it was probably more important than double-clicking the listing, otherwise, how could Song Yang take such trouble.

After   Lian led people away, Greck, Marcus, Spivey and others came to the suite of Songyang Hotel.

   "Tomorrow Spivey, in your name, first cast a tribute to UBS, Citigroup, Morgan and other investment banks and banks!"

  Song Yang said to Spivey, then turned to look at Greck and Marcus, "Tomorrow we will go to Deutsche Bank first!"
