Whether it is NBC TV or Universal Pictures, most people are optimistic about Andy Smith's possible new boss, except for some executives.

The parent company General Electric is not very focused on the management of NBC Global, but only regards it as a member of many subsidiaries, so for the management, it can have a lot of freedom.

Of course, NBC Global's management also knows that GE has long been facing calls from investors to consider selling NBC Global, which is the highest when NBC Global's profits decline.

The parent company's financial services company's losses exceeded expectations and had to raise funds. If the shares of NBC Global are sold in part or in full, it will definitely help the company avoid raising more funds through the issuance of new shares.

NBC Global executives are very clear that this deal is almost extremely likely to be reached, and the young man Andy Smith, who has dealt with him, knows that although he is also a person willing to delegate power, this does not mean that his control is low, but is more serious.

In short, nb Global's management knows that when that young man takes over, there will be a power change, the existing power structure will be built again around Andy Smith, and the competition will become more intense.

You should know that this young boss is very famous in private in the workplace for the ability to use people. He used an indecisive media group eO to almost motivate a group of professional managers to help him make profits.

Of course, the news of Andy's acquisition of NB Global is not without motives. For example, in May this year, Comcast announced the acquisition of the old social networking website Plaxo, which integrates all the latter's products and services to facilitate cable TV users to access these services through set-top boxes and other devices. Their next acquisition target was originally planned to be on social networking website Faebook or media giant Viacom.

When I learned from the news that NBC Global had an intention to sell it, Comcast co-founder Ralph Robert found Jeff Immelt's phone number to show goodwill and exchange opinions, hoping to conduct in-depth investigations on NBC Global.

The seller is naturally the most happy to see the outcome. However, Andy is not an idiot. He has been guarding against this move very early and signed an exclusive agreement. He not only has to pay a penalty of $100 million, but also faces the situation where Andy can sue it at any time. After termination of the transaction negotiated by General Electric, it is simply not worth the loss.

Of course, this does not prevent Jeff Immelt from using the emerging bidders to increase negotiation chips, but the idea is very good, the problem is that Andy has to take it.

On the morning of October 4, Andy saw this rumor that was intended to be spread from various media reports about his acquisition of NBC Global, and couldn't help but sneer.

The mall is like a battlefield!

It is understandable to pursue maximization of interests. He naturally knew what happened to the bidder that suddenly popped up, but he was not worried at all, especially Comcast, the largest cable TV operator in the United States. With just one antitrust, Andy could kill it.

Especially after the media reported that competitors, including Time Warner and News Corp, clearly stated that they would not interfere with Andy's acquisition of NBC Global, this undoubtedly increased Andy's chances of success in the merger.

Regarding the emergence of Comcast, Andy did not fight back through the media power in his hands, but logged into his Facebook account to update a paragraph of text.

"Do you want to unfairly prevent any force from entering the expanded online video market and allow 17 million high-speed online users to only obtain online content under your control? Don't pretend to be asleep, wake up! This is the United States, here is antitrust laws!"

"Puff"

"Hehe... you're really sharp enough. It seems Comcast is in trouble." Ivana, wearing a bathrobe and wrapping her wet hair with a bath towel, sat next to Andy. When she saw the updated content on Facebook, she couldn't help laughing.

Andy raised his chin slightly, and a sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Some people are used to reaching out. Since they are giving their faces to find sucking, I don't mind waking him up!"

Andy's Facebook followers have long exceeded 100 million. His updated content spread throughout the Internet in the morning. Almost everyone has paid attention to the sensational merger and acquisition of NBC Global, and naturally many people have seen the rumors reported by the media.

While many people were surprised by Andy's quick and sharp response, they also felt a murderous aura that showed its sharpness.

You know, the recent series of things that have happened have made Andy feel depressed and angry. Seeing the prehistoric monsters unscrupulously swallowing the strongest and most delicious prey, he could only watch and follow him and eat some bones and drink some soup. This is undoubtedly quite unwilling to accept it.

When there was nowhere to be released, someone came to the door to find a slap. How could Andy not cooperate and show off his fangs. Don't pretend that he doesn't exist and want to steal food from him.

Budstone was notified to conduct an orderly sell-off of the $3 billion GE stock that he just obtained yesterday.

The result was immediate. At around 10:30 in the morning, General Electric EO Jeff received a call from Geoff. After the greetings, Jeff raised the topic to the Comcast consultation call he received last night. Listening to Jeff's narration, Andy couldn't help but chuckle and said to him directly.

"My merger and acquisition of nbc Global is different from Comcast. Even if Comcast really intends to acquire nbc Global and is willing to pay the conditions that General Electric cannot refuse or even break the contract, this transaction will fall under the antitrust of the US government!

Trust me, Jeff, the ending must be like this!

I believe that you should be very clear about the details of the negotiations during this period. I am really sincere. Even in this economic environment, when NBC Global's performance declines, I am still willing to discuss mergers and acquisitions at a valuation of US$22 billion. Jeff, I believe that the board of directors of General Electric will be very satisfied.

We can make things easier, right?”

Regarding Comcast, Andy almost had a certain conclusion with an obvious threat tone, which made Jeff Immelt's face slightly change, and he naturally felt quite uncomfortable. However, he also understood that if Andy's assumptions were valid and no one was making trouble, Comcast might be able to successfully acquire NBC Global through lobbying.

But now if there is an enemy like Andy, basically, Comcast is out of the way. Jeff still agrees with Andy's lethality. At that time, not only will there be no way, but even General Electric will be slapped in the face. At the last level of the transaction, it will be forced to stop. Tsk tsk, that will really become a super joke.

"Haha." Two dry laughter from Jeff came from the phone, and then he heard him say: "Andy, this is related to a transaction worth tens of billions after all. The negotiation has just begun. Many details need to be sat down and discussed slowly. What's more important is the 20% stake held by Vivendi..."

"Didn't Vivendi's EO Bernard Levi say at the previous video conference that their NBC Global shares are non-core assets and also recognize NBC Global's valuation of $220. I only need 55%-60% of the shares to buy GM alone or 20% of Vivendi's remaining ones, and buy them from GM. Is there any problem?"

Andy asked knowingly that he was very clear about Jeff Immelt's thoughts. The negotiation team would report the details of the negotiations once a day. Jeff Immelt, who felt that he had overcome the difficulties, made a very shameless proposal to make money two days ago.

It is General Electric who sold 55% of the shares to Andy. They borrowed money from the bank and bought the 20% from Vivendi. In this way, Andy held 55% of the shares and General Electric 45%. The two companies formed a new company and then controlled NBC Global. The money they borrowed from the bank before would become the debt of the new company...

After hearing this idea, Andy didn't even have the interest in ridicule, and just said one sentence, which was "I think so beautifully!"

Hearing Andy's words, Jeff Immelt knew that Andy didn't even want to pay attention to his proposal, so he didn't mention it in a boring manner. After a few more greetings, he hung up the phone.

"Don't give me a shame. If you are not kind, don't blame me for taking the blame, hum!" Andy's face was filled with a sarcastic sneer and his eyes were cold. His impression of Jeff Immelt was getting worse. Originally, General Electric was not included in the next slaughter feast, but now it seems that some people don't let them die of pain, and they don't know the importance of it. 8)
