Chapter 571: Raul's Words!

Seeing so many people, whether it is political or business, they are all surprised by Lin Yu, it is not easy to invite the president alone, and he can also invite ambassadors from all over the world, what is the identity of this young Chinese man?

"Hello, Mr. Shi!" Lin Yu turned to the business circle, and first raised his glass to Steve, and Lin Yu's face was already a little red at this time. ^//^

"Mr. Lin Yu, hello, it's a pleasure to receive your invitation!" Steve smiled and raised his glass.

In fact, Steve didn't know Lin Yu's real background, he just knew that this young man was a young master of Huaxia, and his family was very powerful, and he didn't know anything else.

"We have an old saying in China, you respect me. I will pay you back, and my Lin Yudi motto is, people don't offend me, I don't offend everyone if they offend me. I don't spare anyone! ”

Lin Yan suddenly leaned on Steve's ear and whispered, these Chinese sayings are really very tongue-twisting when spoken in English.

However, it is not a difficult thing for Lin Yu, who grew up in the United States.

"Mr. Lin Yu, what do you mean by this!" Steve asked with a twinkle in his eyes

"Nothing, we'll still meet at the place!" Lin Yu smiled and raised his wine glass and walked towards the other people.

looked at Lin Yudi's back.

Steve's face became more and more gloomy, and he didn't take this young man of China in his eyes at all, otherwise he wouldn't have directly let Cuman deal with him.

Some people have noticed Lin Yu and Steve, Jose = Sarne frowned slightly, and worry flashed in his eyes, whether Lin Yu or Steve, they are both important investors in Brazil, and they are also not easy to mess with, thinking about how to persuade for a while.

"Mr. Steve, what just happened?" The person in charge of Walmart in Brazil quietly came over, and everyone could see the unhappiness between him and Lin Yu just now.

Wal-Mart Inc. is a worldwide chain enterprise in the United States, the largest company in the world in terms of turnover, and its controlling shareholder is the Walton family. The headquarters is located in Bentonville, Arkansas, USA. Wal-Mart is primarily involved in the retail industry and is the enterprise with the largest number of employees in the world, Wal-Mart Department Store Co., Ltd. was founded in Arkansas in 1962 by Mr. Sam = Walton, a legend in the American retail industry. After more than two decades of development, Wal-Mart Inc. has become the largest private employer in the United States and the world's largest retail chain. At present, Walmart has opened more than 1,000 stores in 5 countries around the world, with 23 brands, a total of more than 800,000 employees, and 10,000 customers visit Walmart every week.

Wal-Mart put forward the purpose of "helping customers save every penny", and realized the promise of the cheapest price. Walmart also offers customers a new way of enjoying first-class service. The company has always adhered to the principle of "service is better than others, and employees are different". When you walk into Walmart, customers can feel the attentive service of being at home. Thirdly, Walmart has implemented a new concept of "one-stop" shopping. Customers can buy all the goods they need in the shortest possible time and as quickly as possible, and it is this fast and convenient way of shopping that attracts the modern consumer. In addition, although Wal-Mart has repeatedly reduced its advertising spending in order to reduce costs, it has spared money in donations to various public welfare undertakings. Wal-Mart's long-term investment in public welfare activities and the unique creativity of the activities themselves have greatly improved brand awareness and successfully shaped the brand's excellent image in the minds of consumers. Finally, one of the most critical reasons why Wal-Mart can surpass Sears is that Wal-Mart adopts different retail operation forms for different target consumers, and occupies the high-end and low-end markets respectively. For example, Walmart's Affordable Shopping Center, which is aimed at middle- and lower-middle-class consumers, only offers various benefits and services to members, and Walmart general department stores, which are popular among upper-class consumers.

It is also Wal-Mart's service attitude and service tenet that make Brazilians especially like to go to Wal-Mart to shop, so if you talk about the retail industry in Brazil, then Wal-Mart is definitely the boss.

The greater Wal-Mart's influence in Brazil, the greater the status of Wal-Mart's top personnel in the hearts of the Brazilian government, so when the head of Wal-Mart Brazil asked Steve, Steve was not impatient.

"It's nothing, Mr. Buman, you have too much to do!" Steve shook his head slightly.

"Steve, did you have some misunderstanding with him?" Vice President Kerry quietly walked over to Steve's side after getting a hint from the president, his brow furrowed.

"It's okay, Uncle Kerry, don't worry!" Steve shook his head and smiled, and Kerry stared at him intensely.

The vice president has a good relationship with Steve's father, Raul, which is why Cardoso sent him to Raul as the majority shareholder of ATT, so Steve can serve as the president of A-Ding in Brazil.

"You'd better tell your father everything, you must, you'll tell you when you get back tonight!"

Kerry sighed, although he didn't know what happened between Lin Yu and Steve, but from the fact that they were peers, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing to be unhappy just now.

"Okay, I'll call when I get back!" Steve was a little baffled, but at the same time knew something wasn't right, and there must be a reason why Kerry was so important.

Just when Lin Yu had some conflicts with Steve of ATT Telecom Brazil, the headquarters of ATT in the United States did not know about this, and now the sickles are studying the acquisition of a German company.

ATT, a U.S. mobile operator, announced on Sunday that it would spend $1.9 billion to acquire TMBLEUSA, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.

The purchase price will be paid in cash and equity. ATT and TMBMEUSA were previously the second and fourth largest mobile carriers in the United States, respectively. The move will see ATT surpass VEMZM Wireless as the number one operator in the United States. ˉ

The deal, which will reduce the number of nationwide mobile operators in the U.S. from four to three, will inevitably face stiff scrutiny from regulators. On the other hand, SPMNN is in third place, and it will lose a potential partner. It was previously reported that the company had been in talks with TMOBME about a merger.

The acquisition will bring ATT's subscribers to 12.9 billion, representing about 43% of the U.S. mobile market. For TMBME's 10,000 subscribers, the acquisition will not have an immediate and substantial impact. Due to the lengthy approval process, ATT expects it will take another year to complete the acquisition.

Once the transaction is complete, T-MBLE will be able to choose a mobile phone provided by ATT, including PHN.

Competition in the mobile market has been weakened, and the impact is difficult to estimate. PMLKND, a nonprofit group, said it was "unimaginable" for the four national mobile operators to shrink to three. The chairman of the organization, Gigi. "We know the results of such acquisitions: higher prices, fewer choices, worse innovation," Thorne said in a statement.

Compared to AT Day, TMBME's mobile plan price is relatively low. This is especially noticeable when users don't sign up for a 2-year contract. Randall = Stephenson, CEO of ATT, said that one of the goals of the acquisition is to encourage TMBLE users to switch to a new version of the phone, which will lead to an increase in monthly usage fees. In addition, ATT. will continue to offer TMBME's no-contract package "seriously".

ATT General Counsel Wayne = Watts said the mobile market is an "extremely competitive market," with more than five operators in most major cities. Despite the consolidation of the mobile industry over the past decade, prices have been declining. The most recent deal was the acquisition of AMYA Elˉ, the fifth-largest operator in the United States, for $5.9 billion

ATT will pay Deutsche Telekom about $2.5 billion in cash, as well as its own bribes. In addition, Deutsche Telekom will get a seat on ATT's board of directors.

Like SPT, TMBLE has been struggling to contend with the two giants, ATT and Verizm. Over the past three years, the company's revenue has grown slowly, with subscribers hovering below 34 million for a long time, despite stable profits.

Deutsche Telekom has been looking forward to aggressive steps to get more profit from TMBLE, the U.S. subsidiary. If TMBLE merges with SPRMT or VEMZM, both parties will face the problem of incompatible network technologies. But ATT's underlying technology is the same as TMBLE, which means that ATT phones can use the TMBLE network and vice versa.

According to ATT, subscribers will benefit from the addition of new mobile base stations and wireless spectrum. The deal will increase call support capacity by 30 percent in some places, and Stephenson said, "This obviously has a significant impact on issues such as disconnections and network performance."

In an effort to assuage regulators' concerns, 61TT said in a statement on Sunday that it would spend $8 billion to expand ultra-high-speed wireless broadband networks in rural areas. ATT's previous goal of reaching 80 percent of the U.S. population with a TE4G network has now been raised to 9 percent. This means that the company's 40 network needs to cover an area equivalent to 45 Texas. The ATT network will be launched in some places this summer, but it will still take years to build.

The acquisition has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies. Under the agreement, ATT could support up to $22 billion in cash and reduce the equity payable accordingly, provided that Deutsche Telekom receives at least a percent stake.

ATT said the deal had been completed and TMBME was not allowed to accept any offers from other buyers. ATT will use the debt and cash deposits to pay the cash portion of the acquisition price and is not expected to borrow from TMBLE.

This incident caused a huge sensation in the United States, and Lin Yu and Stephen did not know about it.

The acquisition has just been completed, and ATT should not provoke a strong opponent now, otherwise, ATTL will definitely collapse.

In fact, since Black Monday, many companies have postponed their plans for IT procurement and upgrades during the previous economic crisis, and now, as the economic situation begins to improve, these companies are starting to signal that they are willing to pay more for technology upgrades. And a series of actions by telcos are a response to these signals. But in fact, before this concentrated attack, each company had a corresponding strategic deployment.

While the majority of telcos' revenue still comes from traditional telco services, virtual private networks, on-demand storage and compute, and device connectivity are also accounting for an increasing share of operators' revenues. Cloud computing, in particular, has begun to make up for the decline in traditional businesses.

However, the economic crisis has not affected developing countries very much, so the economy of countries like Brazil has not been affected much.

Although Lin Yu knows the power of Black Monday, he is not very clear about the current situation of ATT, otherwise Lin Yu does not guarantee that he will not reach out.

Lin Yu turned around, except for Steve, the rest of the people talked very happily, but after a circle, his face was already very red, and his head was slightly dizzy.

"Mr. Lin Yu!" The Italian ambassador approached Lin Yu.

"I'm fine!" Lin Yu waved his hand, only to realize that he had drunk a little too much today, and put down the wine glass with a wry smile and sat aside to rest.

All the business people who paid attention to Lin Yu were even more surprised, and they suddenly had a strange feeling that the Italian ambassador seemed to put himself in an equal position with Lin Yu.

Time passed quickly, except for a little unpleasantness with Steve, Lin Yu didn't have anything to do after that, Cuman didn't say anything from beginning to end, just chatted with people he was familiar with and invited some beautiful women to dance, many people with dance partners.

In the evening, the more Steve returned home, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and finally scooped up the phone and called his father Raul, and said Kerry's words to Lin Yu's words.

"What did you just say, what is the name of that Huaxia man?" There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while before asking.

"Father, his name is Lin Yu, a native of Huaxia! It's just American citizenship! ”

"Why does the name Lin Yu sound a little familiar, you wait!"

Raul is not only a rich man, but also an important figure in the Republican Party, and it is precisely because of this that Steve does not take Cuman too seriously, and it is okay to intersect, but the underworld like Cuman can never be compared with an aristocrat like them.

After a while, Raul's voice came from the microphone.

"Steve, are you sure that the Huaxia person you just mentioned is Lin Yu? Very young one! ”

On the other side of the phone, Raul's voice suddenly increased, and before he could turn over the information, he already remembered who Lin Yu was, President Reagan and this young man have definitely cooperated a lot in the past two years, so there are few U.S. government staff who don't know Lin Yu's Raul is the same.

"Yes, what's wrong father, do you know this man?" Steve was a little confused, and his father's reaction seemed to be a little big.

"What happened to you and him, tell me honestly and in detail!" Raul's tone was very serious, Steve's tone was very serious, who was not good to provoke Huaxia Lin Yu, the god of killing, this Lin Yu is also, why don't you stay in Europe or Huaxia, what are you doing in Brazil.

Steve said it in detail, including the fact that Cuman had smashed the site of Lin Yuxin's company, and he didn't say anything about the mafia and the bombing of Cuman's industry, although he had also heard rumors that Lin Yu did it, but he didn't believe it at all.

"I see, so to speak, you didn't have any direct conflict with him!" Raul seemed relieved and asked on the phone.

"That's right, that's right, but I'm about to find someone to deal with him, and I won't let a Huaxia person become my competitor!"

Steve nodded, and Raul's voice on the other side of the phone suddenly increased: "Nonsense, do you know his details?" Do you know what he's capable of? Let me tell you, Lin Yu, don't mess with him, don't talk about you, even if I provoke him, he may not be able to win. His influence in Europe and elsewhere is not something you can imagine, and even in the United States, he has a very good relationship with President Reagan, remember, this is a man you can befriend and even if you don't, you can't offend him. ”

"What!" Steve's face turned pale in an instant, and he finally understood, understood a lot of things that he didn't understand before.

Why did Kerry have to call him to tell his father, why the president and the ambassadors of various countries would go today, why the ambassadors of Europe and elsewhere gathered around Lin Yu as if to flatter, why Cuman would call and say to himself.

Now Steve finally understands that he made a huge mistake, he did not find out the details of the opponent before he rashly moved, he thought that he was an ordinary young master, but now he found out that he provoked a dragon, or a dragon that can cross the river.

Now it seems that the bombing of Cuman and the mafia industry must be the masterpiece of this cross-river dragon, and the thought that Cuman was only smashed his construction site and suffered such retaliation, Steve's heart began to beat faster.

"Dad, what should I do?" Steve was a little panicked, he could not be afraid of Cuman, but a person who didn't even care about the president of the United States and had influence all over the world, he couldn't be afraid.

"Listen to me, you just have a business conflict with him now, and there is no direct conflict, you go back and find him in person to apologize to him, and you can also make some concessions in business, I believe he won't push you too hard!"

Raul instructed on the phone, he didn't want Steve to apologize to a Chinese, but now because of the change, the Republican Party is really not suitable to provoke strong enemies, otherwise, if the Republican Party wants to be re-elected, it must not offend some powerful people, and Lin Yu is one of them

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow......"

Steve nodded hurriedly, Lin Yu didn't know that one of his two opponents in Brazil had already relented.

After the drinking party, Lin Yu's company base was rebuilt, and no one came to make trouble, and Cuman did nothing except go to Lin Yu's drinking party once. Krell transferred another 500 people from the mercenaries, and all of them arrived in Brazil, with these 500 people, even if he couldn't do it, he could ensure that Lin Yu could leave Brazil safely.
