"Kearns, your company's performance has been good recently, and in our company's investment evaluation report this month, your company has risen more than a dozen places at once, compared to Welch's General Electric."

When Welch took over GE, Lao Mei was facing strong competition from Japan, South Korea and other companies, and many industries were declining under the impact of imported products, such as steel, textiles, shipbuilding, home appliances, automobiles, etc.

Under Welch's drastic reforms, GE was divided into 13 divisions, each with specific production and operation areas, such as lighting, power equipment, engineering plastics, engines, and so on.

The company has a high degree of authorization for the business department, but in some respects it is highly centralized, so that GE can reduce the tax payable; Second, a large amount of funds can be concentrated for the development of projects that have greater market benefits but a larger scale of investment.

After more than a year of reform, GE has been thriving under the leadership of Welch, and its corporate profits have continued to rise, occupying a high position in the investment list of Ambaishen Investment Group, and their group's investment list is basically the investment vane of the industry.

In Kearns' large office, Smith quipped to him about the recent Xerox developments.

"Old friend, you're so good at talking, but I just like to hear you talk like that, and it makes me feel a lot happier.

Tell me, what did you do when you came to me from Europe this time, and you certainly didn't come to visit my old friend......"

As for Smith's character, Kearns knows all too well.

"I've been an old friend for so many years, I can't hide it from you, this time I'm really here for one thing, and I hope you can do me a little favor!"

The two have known each other for more than 30 years, from acquaintances at Columbia University, to being admitted to the same MBA together, until now one is the CEO of Xerox and the other is the general manager of Europe's largest private equity company.

"Tell me if there's anything I need help with."

Now that his old friend had asked for it, Kearns certainly had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you very much, in fact, it's not a big deal, I just hope you can help me introduce someone, and I will definitely treat you to a drink when the matter is done......

You should be very familiar with this young man, that is, Yao Fei, who sells inkjet printer technology Feiyue Technology Company, I also met him at your inkjet printer press conference last time, or you introduced him, I asked him to discuss some investment, our group is very optimistic about their company's products! ”

In the perception of Westerners, the best way to express celebration seems to be to have a party or a drink together.

"Yao Fei? I'm really familiar with that little guy, your group won't take a fancy to their company and want to acquire or be interested in their products, and want to invest, right?

If that's the case, as long as your sales scope doesn't overlap with our Xerox, I'm still more willing to help you contact him, but with what I know about him, it's unlikely that you can buy their company, and even if the other party agrees, your group will have to pay a huge price, maybe a new billionaire is about to be born......"

Helping his old friend Smith make an appointment with Yao Fei, this is a trivial matter for him, but he still needs to say to the other party, I hope that the markets of the two sides will not overlap, even if Xerox is now helping Feiyue Technology Company sell floppy disks and floppy drives, it is also a huge profit, accounting for 11.3% of the company's total monthly sales revenue.

"No problem at all, I'm going to hold a personal reception at the Hilton Hotel in New York the day after tomorrow, you can help me bring that little guy over when you see it!"

When the matter was settled, Smith said he was going to have a drinking party.

"Well, for the sake of my old friend, you will have to give me a bottle of Lafite from 1787 when this is done......"

For Smith's treasure, Kearns can be said to have been thinking about it for a long time, although his own wine cabinet is also very deep, but it is still much worse than his old friend.

Kearns invited himself to participate in the reception, Yao Fei did not refuse, in this era, it is not possible to bury one's head in skills, only the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor has a future, Kearns invited himself, this is no harm to him, not to mention that through the cocktail party, he can also expand his social circle, which is what Yao Fei is currently very lacking.

didn't rush to the Hilton Hotel early, because Kearns had told Yao Fei in advance that this drinking party was just a private drinking party, there would not be too many people, and the start time of the drinking party was generally an approximate time, and there was no strong requirement for time, even if it was ten or twenty minutes late, the host would not care.

When he entered the hotel, he saw the old man Karnes at the exit of the hotel, and basically all the people who came to the reception had to walk in front of him, so that Yao Fei had time to pick up a glass of champagne from the messenger and was pulled by Karnes to a balcony next to him, on the balcony, where a chubby figure could be faintly seen.

"Yao Fei, officially introduce to you, this is my good friend for many years, Mr. Jones Smith, the general manager of Anbaishen Equity Investment Group, is currently one of the largest private equity companies in Europe, has been established for 11 years, today's cocktail party is held by him, he specially told me to let me help him introduce you.

OK, now that my mission is complete, you can talk about the rest slowly! ”

With that, Kearns watched as the two performed.

Seeing the interest on Smith's face, Yao Fei was a little puzzled, what is the private equity company looking for him, and now he has a large amount of money every month, and he doesn't seem to be short of money.

However, I still have a little impression of this Smith Yao Fei, it seems that I saw it at Xerox's new product launch conference last time, when Kearns introduced himself, but when he turned around, Yao Fei forgot about it.

"Mr. Smith, thank you for inviting me to today's reception......"

The other party didn't speak for a long time, and it was not a matter for the three of them to stand like this, so Yao Fei thanked him first, no matter what, etiquette should not be lost.

"Mr. Yao Fei doesn't need to be so polite, Kearns's friend is my Smith's friend, and this time I invited you to come, in fact, there is a win-win cooperation I want to discuss with you, I wonder if you are interested?"

After thinking about how to speak for a while, Smith said straight to the point.

"Mr. Smith, please feel free to say anything about ...... cooperation."

Since it is a win-win cooperation, Yao Fei certainly wants to hear about it.

"Mr. Yao is so refreshing, then I will say it bluntly, we are very optimistic about your Feiyue Group, according to our survey, your company because of limited funds, so the current production of floppy disks and floppy drives is not much, completely unable to supply the North American market.

So I suggest that Mr. Yao accept our capital injection, the capital is about 100 million, which is pounds, this is only the first start-up capital in the early stage, and then an additional 200 million pounds will be added as needed, and a large floppy disk and floppy disk drive product processing plant will be established in Asia and Europe.

But we also have one demand, that is, our group wants to own 70% of the shares of Feiyue Technology, Mr. Yao, how about it, if you agree, I believe that soon you will join the billionaire club......"

For a company with very popular products and growth potential, as an experienced general manager of an investment company, he certainly knows that it is best to take control of the company in the hands of the group in order to make the most profits......
