Chapter 704 Feng Shui turns
"Impossible, the board of directors of Telegraph Group, Wall Street investors, will not allow Bell Labs to be sold!"
Regarding Song Yang's offer, Bertes directly refused to drop it. He was unwilling to spend $500 million, so he sold Bell Labs.
"President Betes, we all know the situation of Bell Labs. Telecom took over Bell Labs, which is the best choice for both of us. Telecom Group is the second largest shareholder of Telecom."
Song Yang also secretly warned Bertes that if it was heard, the Telephone and Telegraph Group would not be willing to fund Bell Laboratory, and the Telephone and Telegraph Group's reputation would be ruined, at least it would not be favored by the entire scientific research industry.
Bertes didn't care about Song Yang's rhetoric. She said this just to raise the price, and she didn't really keep it at Bell Labs for Christmas.
"Song, let's change the way. Telephone and Telephone Group can transfer Bell Labs to you, but it requires Telecom America to transfer 5% of its equity. Telephone and Telephone Group can pay you another fee for this!"
Betters smiled and said to Song Yang that as long as Song Yang transfers 5% of the American Telecom equity to Telecom Group, the Telecom Group will not only not have any money, but will give Bell Laboratory to Song Yang for free, and will be willing to compensate Song Yang for another fee.
Listening to the lion's big offer, Song Yang couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. Betels might as well raise the price directly for Bell Labs.
The valuation of Telecom in America has long been astronomical. Telecom is now the largest telecom broadband in America and has established operation centers in Canada, the UK, Bangzi, Singapore and other places.
Although America Telecom has not done the same thing as before, it has established an Internet IP center in North America, Europe and Asia, built 75 data centers around the world, entered 80 regions, and provided broadband Internet to 2,000 cities around the world. The optical cables laid on the seabed can circle the earth twice.
But now, Telecom is the world's largest broadband operator. Now, the América broadband market, from New York to Chicago to Washington, Houston and other major cities, more than 70% of the broadband lines are laid by Telecom.
In addition, the mobile signal towers being built in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and London are also established by Telecom, providing mobile Internet access services to millions of users.
There are also the offline stores of America Telecom, which are now spread across America and major cities in North America. There are now more than 800. America Telecom has become one of the top ten mobile phone retailers of America.
With broadband, mobile Internet business and offline mobile retail stores, America Telecom is not the most profitable one in the telecom industry, but compared with other telecom peers, life will be better in the future. The Telecom Group clearly sees this.
Telephone fees and SMS fees are likely to not be the most profitable business in the telecommunications industry in the future. On the contrary, broadband and mobile Internet services may become the main part of making money. This is the estimate made by the marketing department of Telecom Group!
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Telephone Group is now jealous of Telecom, which is definitely true. If Telephone Group can be bought into the stock, Telephone Group will be willing to pay all the price.
But not long after the establishment of Telecom, America, the Telecom Group wanted to buy it, but it didn't get it, so it's even more difficult now.
No one is sure of what the valuation of Telecom America is now. Now is the golden age of the telecommunications industry. The release of the new telecommunications bill has caused the valuation of major telecommunications companies to soar, and a number of new small bullies in the telecommunications industry such as Telecom America have emerged.
But two years ago, Telecom was not as large as it is today, and its valuation was raised to more than 10 billion US dollars by the "good man" Enron Company. Now, no one can figure out the valuation of Telecom. Even if it calls a valuation of 300 or even 40 billion US dollars, no one can praise it. After all, this thing is not the price that Telecom itself called. Shareholders such as Enron, Comerica Bank, Telecom Group, etc. will definitely not approve it.
Telephone and Telecom Group is now the second largest shareholder of Telecom, with a holding of more than 28%. If Song Yang Laboratory can use Song Yang Laboratory to get more shares of Telecom from Bell, so that the shares held will exceed 30%, or even more, Telecom Group will be able to find ways to end the slowly snatch the controlling stake of Telecom!
Bernard has always had a good relationship with Telephone and Telegraph Group and Zhuang Gong, but this involves controlling stake in Telecom and is related to the interests of more than 10 billion US dollars. When it comes to stabbing, Bernard will never be ruthless.
Similarly, if Telecom Group gets into trouble one day, its stock price plummets, as long as the time is right, Telecom may not have the idea of giving the big brother a backhand. If Telecom can swallow the Telecom Group by a snake, it will immediately become the number one in the global telecom industry!
Zhuang Gong took a deep breath, "President Zhuang Gongyi, you know this is impossible. If the Telecom Group gets more equity in America, then whoever has the final say in America will probably be in trouble!"
Bernard smiled slightly, "Song, you misunderstood. No one wants to steal Telecom from you. Even if you give up 5% of the shares, you are still the largest shareholder who holds 49% of the shares of Telecom. No one can take Telecom from you.'
Previously, Telecom acquired the telecommunications business from Telecom Group and leaned against the Telecom Group, and his life was getting better. But similarly, Bell also gave up a large amount of equity, and his equity in Telecom Group directly fell to 54%.
But 49% of the equity is not much different from 51% of the controlling stake, only 2%, but this 2% determines who has the final say in Telecom!
Bell would not believe Bernard's nonsense. If the Telephone and Telegraph Group really wanted to get too much equity in Telecom, it would be easy to know that Bernard would definitely seize the controlling equity in Telecom.
Seeing Bell silent, Bernard looked a little serious, "Song, Telecom Group, if you want to get more equity in Telecom, it is not to compete with you for anything, but to change in the telecom industry. Worldcom has already supported Telecom because of its acquisition of MFS Telecom. Telecom Group, Telecom Group will support Telecom, but make sure that Telecom is on the side of Telecom!'
Zhuang Gong was stunned for a moment. Worldcom was acquiring other telecom companies everywhere. Zhuang Gong was not surprised, but the acquisition of mfs telecom still surprised Bell.
mfs Telecom is a tough guy. He had challenged Worldcom before. From the nose of Worldcom, Telecom set off a wave of telecom acquisitions at a price of up to US$2.1 billion.
But now, mfs Telecom is going to be killed by Shitong, which makes people think too much. Zhuang Gong looked at Bernard and said, "mfs Telecom is not cheap."
"12.5 billion US dollars, the news received by Telephone and Telegraph Group, the board of directors of mfs group has passed the acquisition of STO. mfs will be taken down by STO for STO at a price of 12.5 billion US dollars. That guy Ebeth Bets is crazy.
Speaking of Worldcom's leader Bets, Best sarcastically sarcastically and threatened that Ebets Bets was the sucker to initiate this acquisition.
But no matter how much he scolded, Bernard also felt a little envious. As the head of the Amelica Telecom giant, Ebeth Bets can initiate a century-long merger and acquisition, but Best can only struggle to support the mess of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. The power of the two is incomparable!
Upon hearing this news, Bell couldn't help but think that Worldcom acquired MFS Telecom, if nothing unexpected happens, it will make the competition in the telecom industry even more fierce, and the war between giants will start again.
Today, Worldcom can acquire mfs, tomorrow, Southwest Zhuanggong, Sprint, Franchise Communications, etc., and they can acquire other telecom giants. They are also giants in the telecom industry. Could it be that they are even worse than Worldcom?!
The situation of Telecom will be even more difficult. Telecom giants such as Worldcom and Sprint will sooner or later fight with Telecom in broadband, mobile Internet and other industries. Without the support of Telecom Group, Telecom really cannot withstand the hunting of these telecom giants.
Zhuang Gongyi was waiting for Song Yang's decision leisurely. He was vague and Bell could measure the pros and cons of it.
“2%!”
"The North American Global Investment Foundation can transfer 2% of the Telecommunications equity of Telecommunications Group, and Zhuang Gong Laboratory will transfer it to Telecommunications!'
If the valuation of America Telecom's 30 billion US dollars is given now, then this 2% equity is equivalent to 600 million US dollars. 600 million US dollars is exchanged for a Zhuang Gong Laboratory, it is impossible to say who suffered a loss between Bell and Zhuang Gongyi?
I did not get the 5% stake in Telecom that I wanted, but 2% was not bad. Telephone and Telecom Group directly reached 30%.
He obtained 2% of the equity of Telecom, and also got rid of the big burden of Song Yang Laboratory, and tied Telecom to the chariot of Telecom Group. It was enough for Bernard to explain to the board of directors and Wall Street!
"The Telephone and Telegraph Group will always support Telecom America, no matter which opponent it faces!" Bernard extended his hand to Zhuang Gong.
Bell raised his eyebrows, "I hope so!"
"Mr. Bets, MFS Board, accepts the offer from Worldcom!"
In the mfs headquarters, mfs president James Crow looked at him with a complicated expression, and was accepting the mfs's surrender as a loser. Zhuang Gongyi Bets.
Thinking back a year ago, James Crowe led MFS Telecom to challenge Ebeth Bets, but in the blink of an eye, Bets had occupied his lair.
