That's fine!" Brad just wants to end this matter as soon as possible, and even wants to retire early!

But now it is related to such a large acquisition, he naturally has to continue to be responsible for the end, so he asked: "After the acquisition of General Electric, how to arrange the TV department?" The total output value of the TV division is as high as 2 billion US dollars, but it has been on the verge of losing money in Japan's low-price competition, but it has a lot of employees, in addition to tens of thousands of foreign employees in overseas factories, there are more than 10,000 people in the United States, including after-sales, customer service, research and development, and sales.

Welch said: "We have found a buyer for the TV department, and as long as the Wanwan thing is done, it can be transferred." Brad nodded and said, "It seems that you are already ready!" "The company's core asset is NB TV, as one of the three major TV stations in the United States, countless consortiums are interested in mergers and acquisitions, in fact, the company's management is not against the sale, but most of the consortium just want TV stations, for TV and other electronic businesses, I want to stay as far away as possible, the company naturally hopes to sell them all, rather than sell the core assets, and then guard the company that loses money.

Just like the current General Electric Company, it also has businesses including televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., but in the face of low-price competition from Japanese counterparts in recent years, it has been hanging half-dead, and home appliance companies have long been identified as a sunset industry in the United States, just because too many people are involved, it is difficult for any company to completely cut off the business.

"I'm going to agree in principle, but I'm going to have to talk to all the senior management when I go back, and I need the board's approval in the end," Brad said. Welch nodded, "Of course, hopefully the next time we meet again, I can get good news!"

"It seems that you have won the battle?" Xu Zhi said with a smile as he listened to Curry's narration. Currie nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, even under normal circumstances, GE proposes to acquire the company, as long as it is a comprehensive acquisition, the possibility of success is very high." The current situation is that we can seize this once-in-a-millennium opportunity and fiercely suppress the price!"

"Then congratulations, this time, you have made a great contribution to Goldman Sachs!" Xu Zhi raised his wine glass and said with a smile.

In this intended transaction, Xu Zhi intends to acquire the TV division, General Electric intends to acquire NB TV, and Goldman Sachs is just taking the opportunity to make money, shorting stocks makes Goldman Sachs at least hundreds of millions of dollars, and even if the price is depressed, this transaction also involves billions of dollars, although the market value of General Electric is high, but it is also a traditional enterprise, it is impossible to take out so much money, and naturally needs to borrow from Goldman Sachs.

Although Xu Zhi made a lot of money from gold futures, it would be too stupid to buy the TV department with only his own money, these days, the richer the people, the more loans, and the agreement with Goldman Sachs, the loans are naturally issued from Goldman Sachs.

Of course, except for the first shorting, the rest is a plan, and whether it can be realized depends on the follow-up progress.

Currie was naturally quite proud, and said with a smile: "Doing business with Mr. Xu is a pleasure, I heard that Midea has sued the company for breach of contract in New York, which doesn't seem to be in line with our original agreement, right?" Xu Zhi said: "Now the acquisition of General Electric is just that Brian personally has no objections, and the follow-up needs the company's management, shareholders' meetings, The consent of the US antitrust department, and my agreement with you is that the transaction will only be carried out after the end of the Wanwan matter, so many factors together, who knows what will happen in the future, I will naturally do what I should do!"

The management of the company is certainly not a problem, they also want to get out of this incident as soon as possible, the shareholders' words may be the price problem, and it can be solved with some time, and in the case of anti-monopoly, the business duplication rate of GE and GE is not high, and there should be no problem. Sean said slowly: "As for the Taoyuan factory, in fact, according to the information I have gotten, the Wanwan government actually wants to use this opportunity to achieve some political goals, as long as it negotiates well and accompanies a sum of money, it will be almost!"

"It shouldn't be my favorite answer!" Xu Zhi smiled: "Besides, my lawsuit has also suppressed the stock price, which is also good for you." Xu Zhi's own idea is to take the opportunity to make a lot of liquidated damages, as for whether he can annex the TV business, he can only say that he can do his best, and it is naturally better to succeed, but it is impossible to give up other benefits.

Sean nodded and said, "Okay, I just hope Mr. Xu doesn't play too much." Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Sean, I intend to buy a company in the United States again, I hope Goldman Sachs can help!" Sean suddenly brightened his eyes and asked, "Which company?" Xu Zhi said: "Mark Truck!"

"Mark?" Sean frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I know that this company is one of the top ten heavy-duty truck manufacturing companies in the United States, and Mr. Xu's main business is the electronics industry, how could he think of acquiring a truck company?" Xu Zhi said: "Diversification is what any smart person should do, in recent years, because of the outbreak of two oil crises, the world's major car companies are not having a good time, but the economy will always recover, and now the acquisition of car companies is the golden time." Sean smiled: "Mr. Xu, if you are interested in car companies, why don't you acquire an automobile company? We Goldman Sachs can coordinate and give you the best advice." Xu Zhi asked: "What, is Goldman Sachs unwilling to help me acquire a truck company?" Sean shook his head and said: "Truck companies are okay, but Mr. Xu, even if there is no oil crisis, the truck industry is not optimistic, the scale of this industry is limited, far less than cars." ”

"The automotive industry market is big, but the competition is also big, and I don't have enough money for any car company of a certain size. Xu Zhi shook his head and refused.

Sean smiled: "In terms of funds, we Goldman Sachs are there, it is definitely not a problem, Mr. Xu of British Leyland Automobile should have heard of it, this is a huge state-owned automobile group, since Margaret Thatcher came to power, has been intending to privatize British state-owned enterprises, Mr. Xu is a native of Xiangjiang, if you can buy the British local car group, it is a very good choice." ”

"I'm not interested in British cars. Xu Zhi directly refused. The British automotive industry has been in decline for 20 years, and in the 70s, the British government issued an executive order to merge all the car companies to form the Leyland Automotive Group, which includes: Louvre, Leyland Truck, Mini, Land Rover, Triumph, Jaguar, Austin, and a total of 30 car brands.

But it is useless to be large, these companies are losing money one by one, and after the British government subsidized more than a billion pounds, by the time of Thatcher, they were ready to be forcibly sold.

The companies that took over these car brands are all international auto giants, such as BMW, which acquired Louvre, and then has been losing $3 billion, Ford acquired Jaguar, and also lost $2 billion, but it was well managed by Mercedes-Benz, but there was a lot of investment in the early stage, and the most important thing is that the companies that can acquire these companies are all century-old car companies, with assets of tens of billions of dollars and strong technology, so there is a little possibility to save British car companies.

Xu Zhi doesn't have this kind of technology, and if this bit of assets is invested, it is estimated that he won't even be able to make a splash.

"Well, the acquisition of Mack Trucks is bound to be won by me, and Goldman Sachs can start preparing for this first, and as for other American car companies, I need to think about it. Xu Zhi left a hope for Goldman Sachs, after all, Goldman Sachs will be more concerned about its own affairs when there may be more profits.

"That's fine. Sean nodded and said, "I will immediately arrange for my subordinates to investigate the information of the Mark Truck." ”

"No need!" Xu Zhi took out a stack of documents and said, "These are Mark's financial reports in the past few years." "11 mobile phone books, all in the nameless mobile version
