"What are you talking about to make everyone so happy?"

After entertaining the guests, Michael Bloomberg came over with a glass of red wine and joined in with a smile.

"Talking about "Stupid Bird Flies First", Andy's earning ability, hehe, just an idea can create huge benefits, which is really admirable. ”

"Indeed, Andy, you are a genius, but this game of yours is really torturous, during this time I took the subway to work, and I would see that the whole subway people were addicted to it, and there were often shouting and swearing. ”

Michael Bloomberg's words made everyone chuckle again, but Andy heard a trace of worry and disgust in his words, and just pouted his lips and shrugged helplessly: "I also thought about taking it off the shelf and chose to make the game commit suicide, but my CEOs rejected my proposal... ”

Andy's eyes never left the face of the old guy Michael Bloomberg, just hoping to see the change in his expression towards what he said, and sure enough, hearing Andy say this, the corners of the old guy's mouth pulled obviously, and Andy knew that it was a kind of disdain.

"The company is yours, and you should stick to it. ”

"Hehe, Michael, this is not my business philosophy, the CEO is my choice, I believe in their ability, and being alone will make people narrow-minded, which is not good for the company. ”

Andy's words made several people present nod in agreement, but Michael Bloomberg's pupils shrank slightly, but the smile on his face was still cordial, and he smiled at everyone: "Sorry, everyone, Andy, I think we should talk." ”

"Hehe, of course, I'm looking forward to it. Sorry guys. Andy smiled and raised his glass to everyone, and after taking a sip, he nodded to Ivana, and walked slowly to the second floor with Michael Bloomberg under the gaze of someone who cares.

In the quaint and heavy study, Andy and Michael Bloomberg sat opposite each other on comfortable chairs with semicircular backs across a small round table.

"Thank you. Andy took the old man's cigar, lit it with a lighter between his fingers, and took a faint breath to exhale the smoke.

"Young man, we don't have to go around in circles, what do you want?"

Michael Penberg, who lit the cigar, squinted his eyes slightly in the smoke, and said straight to the point.

"Hehe, in fact, Mr. Bloomberg, you don't have to be nervous, I'm just optimistic about the future of Bloomberg, it is a high-quality asset, after all, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis is getting more and more serious, and the dollar has depreciated too much... ”

Hearing Andy's explanation, Bloomberg looked at Andy noncommittally, and only said after a few seconds: "Bloomberg is my life's work, I won't give it to others, Andy Smith, I hope you can stop continuing to buy shares in the hands of other shareholders at a premium... ”

"Hehe... Andy didn't care about the old guy's forced gaze at all, leaned back comfortably in the chair, looked at Michael's serious old face, spit out a puff of smoke, and chuckled, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart, Nima, was still discovered by this old guy.

In fact, this old fox was not idle, when he knew that Merrill Lynch was going to sell the 30% of the shares, he called for redemption as soon as possible, but at that time Andy had already signed an agreement with Merrill Lynch, which had already taken effect, and if Merrill Lynch did not want to accompany Andy 3.3 billion, he could only honestly fulfill the agreement.

Maybe without Andy's appearance, the old guy in front of him could really turn Bloomberg back into a private company that he laid off, but now it is still a limited company, there is still a board of directors, although he has more than half of the equity, and he can't cover the sky single-handedly.

"Since I'm optimistic about the future of Bloomberg, I naturally won't be satisfied with this share, investment, of course, the more the merrier, but unfortunately, I'm not the only one who is optimistic about Bloomberg. Andy shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said with some regret.

"I want you to stop the acquisition, it's good for the company to keep five shareholders on the board, you've broken the balance, I want you to be able to sell that three percent to the company, and the company will add an additional ten percent to your acquisition as a share incentive to the company's management... ”

"If you also come up with the same stake to join, I have no opinion!"

"The company is mine!"

"There's no doubt about that, I don't deny it! ”

Andy looked at Michael Bloomberg, who had been staring at him with a gloomy face, and sneered and blew the smoke in his mouth, the outside world's evaluation of the old guy in front of him was not wrong at all, he had a strong control YU, and he would often ask some provocative questions to his subordinates, forcing his subordinates to obey him.

The old guy wants to oppress him from the momentum, it is a pipe dream, he is really in a hurry, he uses the major shareholder to bully other shareholders, damage the interests of the company, and propose to dissolve the company, of course, at that time, it is a fish that kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, and the old fox will never let this kind of thing happen, and the two are just a tentative confrontation.

Listening to Andy's sneer, Michael Bloomberg didn't show any excitement, but his face was still gloomy, it was obvious that he didn't take Andy's ridicule to heart, the old guy was this age, no one had seen him, and he had been sitting in the New York City mayor for so many years, the old fox, he also knew how difficult Andy Smith was, and he was scared back alive as soon as he was tempted.

"I've served two terms as mayor of New York City, and I've stayed away from managing the business during that time. I don't want the company to have big upheaval or get caught up in a power game, and I want your joining to make Bloomberg stronger, not bent on taking it away from me. ”

"If you think too much, you will continue to be re-elected as mayor, and after three terms, you can even run for the election of the president of the United States as a DU candidate, it will be a miracle, you have money, connections, influence, and political achievements, why not, hehe. ”

Andy boasted maliciously, drawing a pie for the old guy, a pie that could almost choke people.

Michael Bloomberg's eyes were slightly fixed, to be honest, Andy was also talking about his future plan, he was not short of money, and political demands were his life pursuit.

"Andy, come on, what do you want? Don't tell me it's just an investment, VP? or whatever? Give me an answer. ”

Andy didn't care about the old fox's strength in his title and tone, he was not really young and vigorous, and said with a smile on his face: "A vice president, but there must always be a responsible project, then hand over the Bloomberg website to me!"

There was a brief silence in the smoky study, and Andy was still smiling and shaking his goblet, watching the red wine ripple in the glass, but he kept staring at the old fox with his eyes closed and meditating.

To be honest, Michael Bloomberg really didn't care about Bloomberg's website, in his opinion, Bloomberg didn't need a website at all, in his eyes, focusing on services for traders is the value of the company, and the media is just a means to get more traffic and attract more business executives to buy its terminal business.

And the reality of the financial report shows that the company's media business costs Bloomberg LP hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and the vast majority of Bloomberg LP's more than $9 billion in annual revenue comes from its financial data terminals.

"The vice president in charge of the media business, the Bloomberg website can be established as a subsidiary, financially consolidated, but self-financing!"

Finally, the old fox decided to stabilize the wolf who was already uninvited, standing at home, to be honest, over the years, he has been alienated from the management of the company, there is such a greedy wolf coming in to stir up the situation, it may not be a good thing, for professional managers, he is a little disgusted, once in a company meeting, because of the disagreement in the company's media business, his CEO experience dared to say sarcastic that he was outdated, damn bastard, did he forget who was paying him?

"Happy cooperation!" Andy felt ecstatic in his heart, he didn't know that in the eyes of Michael Bloomberg, the media business was a money-losing product, just a tool to increase the company's influence, and the website was something that lost money and shouldn't exist, but for Andy, what the old guy didn't want was what he valued most.

"Which shares?"

Andy, who was shaking hands with the old fox, chuckled: "I am very optimistic about Bloomberg and will not sell shares, if it is a share incentive, I have no opinion, provided that everyone comes up with shares together!"

Hearing Andy's answer, Michael Bloomberg felt a burst of teeth, this young man is really difficult to deal with, and he will not let go of the premium of 10 percent! For the old friend who sold his shares when he saw the money, he had already pulled the other party into the blacklist!

Hehe, how can you easily spit it out again after eating it! Andy looked at the wrinkles on the old guy's face, and sneered in his heart.
