Autumn is in full swing and the sun is just right.

Autumn is at its most brilliant and pure. The perfect blend of the vast golf course and the beautiful nature is one of the main reasons why so many people love the game of golf, which is not only a game but also a journey for body and soul in the picturesque landscape.

"Bang!"

Jeff looked at the golf ball that was hit by his own swing, slowly retracted the club, and smiled at Andy and Warren on the side: "This is the only time in these two months that I have been able to relax and play a good game of golf."

So far this year, GE's stock has shrunk by about 42% due to concerns that it is too big to control itself in this stormy market. We've lowered our earnings estimates twice, and to be honest, the pressure is so great that I'm a little out of breath. ”

Warren and Andy glanced at each other, and Andy knew the character of the goods in front of him, and he wanted to get NBCUniversal from others, so he would naturally do what he liked, and this product just likes to listen to good things and can fool, Andy will not be stingy with some good things to say to each other.

"GE is the face of American business to the world," Andy said with a smile as he crouched down and stuck the ball holder on the lawn, put on his golf ball, posed, and looked down into the distance. "I am very impressed by the fact that you have a great brand and business around the world. I am confident that GE will continue to achieve great results in the years to come. ”

"Bang!"

Andy swung his game, and the golf ball drew a beautiful parabola to the ground, and Jeff looked at the landing point and praised it with a smile on his face.

"Their investments will support our company's financial foundation and help maintain our AAA credit rating. With a relaxed smile on his face, Jeff continued: "The market turmoil is expected to continue for some time, but I remain confident in GE's strategic plans for the future. ”

Warren Buffett nodded, and then said earnestly: "The most important thing is to shrink the front in order to focus on core businesses such as infrastructure, I know that Welch is your mentor and friend, but his pursuit of short-term profits has exposed serious risks, and GM should return to its original track." ”

JEFF'S COMPLEXION CHANGED SLIGHTLY, HIS ORIGINAL SMILE SLOWLY CONVERGED, HE WAS SILENT FOR A MOMENT, AND FINALLY HAD TO SHAKE HIS HEAD AND SMILE BITTERLY, AND SAID WITH A LIGHT SIGH: "I DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROJECT, AND THE LABOR PAIN WILL ALSO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE!"

At present, I can only get through the difficulties one by one, and I plan to bring Bank of America, Citigroup, Bank of Germany, . MG and MG Stanley were also brought in to act as assistant bookrunners.

Then slowly cut off the financial industry and some industries that do not match the main business, and can only take it slowly. ”

Andy and Warren glanced at each other, and both saw a glimmer of brilliance in each other's eyes, Andy played with the club in his hand while walking side by side with the two, and said abruptly: "Has GE considered selling NBCUniversal?"

"Of course ... Huh?" Jeff blurted out without thinking about it, immediately noticed a trace of weirdness, frowned slightly, paused, turned his head to look at Warren Buffett and Andy Smith with a smile on his face, and then shook his head and laughed as if he thought of something.

No one is surprised by Jeff's keen reaction, and whoever can reach this status really treats him as a fool is really stupid. Andy and Warren looked at each other and smiled.

Warren was the first to laugh and said: "Andy has always had an ambition in the media kingdom, this is no secret, this time you GE reform, Andy saw the opportunity to realize his dream, after all, NBCUniversal has become a big burden for GE, I feel that this is a win-win thing, so I agreed to his request to help you both match." ”

Jeff looked at Andy Smith's young and handsome face with a calm smile that had not changed from beginning to end, and said with a deep groan: "We will not sell NBCUniversal completely, of course, I believe Andy You will not choose to completely annex NBCUniversal, after all, it is not cheap!"

"That's right, I just need to control it, I don't exclude partners, as long as it's me who leads, you need money, I need to expand the territory, and when the two achieve their goals by exchanging with each other, the deal will naturally happen, isn't it?" Andy did not hide his ambition and persistence, but directly picked out his bottom line.

Jeff narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Andy, and then thought about it in silence, and Warren Buffett on the side looked at Jeff who was groaning and said with a light smile: "NBCUniversal has become a white elephant for the current General Electric, (expensive and useless things, the meaning of the American version of chicken ribs) The parent company will not only not get benefits, but will also be dragged down by it, and more importantly, including you and the board of directors, is it really important to see NBCUniversal?"

I'm afraid that the energy and attention paid are not half of the financial sector, Andy's ability is more obvious, look at the current AMC TV, since "Friends", NBC... ”

Speaking of this, Warren stopped at the right time, but shook his head with a sigh of disappointment, everything was silent.

"Like Warren said, I'm going to get NBCUniversal back to the top, not like now, or even being pushed down by FOX, I'm Andy Smith, here... Andy pointed to his head and said domineeringly: "There is never a shortage of golden ideas and good stories!"

"Hehe... Jeff shook his head and smiled, with a hint of bitterness on his expression, NBCUniversal, which he personally presided over the merger and acquisition, now still wants him to decide whether to sell others, and the complicated mood can be imagined. At that time, he was in high spirits, but now he is trying to survive.

"Whew-" Jeff exhaled a deep breath, his face became serious, his eyes did not back down at all and Andy looked at each other, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "I will never agree to NBCUniversal being sold cheaply!

Andy was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he smiled and said lightly: "My negotiation team will visit tomorrow, so shouldn't we shake hands and celebrate, happy cooperation?"

Looking at the handsome and indifferent handsome face in front of him and the big hand outstretched, Jeff stretched out his hand with a complicated expression and clenched it, "Happy cooperation." ”

"Haha, congratulations to the two of you for agreeing that we should find a place to have a drink, right?" Warren Buffett suggested with a smile.

"It's a good idea. Andy smiled at Warren with a grateful smile and looked at Jeff.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Jeff looked at Warren and Andy, shook his head and smiled again, handed the club to the caddy, and said with a sweep of his previous solemnity and mixed feelings.

。。。。。。

At the bar at the golf club, Andy touched Warren with champagne and said, "Thank you." ”

Warren chuckled and shook his head, raised his glass, and after that, the three of them began to talk more relaxedly, until around 4 p.m., just as they were about to end the party, the three who had left received a call at the same time.

Listening to the ringing of the three mobile phones, the three of them immediately became solemn, glanced at each other, and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, after the three answered the phone, they looked at each other with different expressions.

Just now, Main Street Bank in Michigan declared bankruptcy, and Washington Mutual Bank was seized and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

"Hehe, the turbulent financial markets will be even more tense now!" Jeff took a sip of the red wine in his glass, stood up and looked at Andy and Warren helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "This is to remind everyone that the worst financial crisis in decades is still continuing." Andy, let your people not use negotiation means to delay time, we will talk straight to the point, if you can, come up with a plan as soon as possible! ”

Looking at the back of Jeff leaving, Warren said to Andy with a solemn face: "It seems that these two pieces of news have had a great impact on him." ”

Andy nodded, not surprised by the collapse of the mutual, or even something he had been looking forward to, so that he could enjoy the food.

Warren Buffett looked at the faint smile on the corner of Andy's mouth with deep eyes, couldn't help but hesitate, and then leaned forward, a pair of eyes behind the lenses became dazzling, stared at Andy, and said in a low voice: "Washington Mutual, you'd better not reach out, it's not worth it... ”

Saying that, Warren stood up, did not give an explanation to Andy, who was a little stunned and frowned, reached out and patted Andy on the shoulder, and then left the bar with the bodyguard.
