American Fortune Life

“What are we talking about, making everybody so happy? ”

Michael Bloomberg came in with a glass of wine and smiled.

“Andy's ability to make money by talking about" Birds fly first, "heh, it's impressive how any idea can generate huge profits. ”

“True, Andy, you're a genius, but this game of yours is really torturous, and in the meantime, when I go to work on the subway, I see the whole subway crowd obsessed with it, and I hear curses all the time. ”

Michael Bloomberg's words made people laugh again, but Andy heard a hint of worry and disgust in his speech, compared to Andy, who just left his mouth open and shrugged: “I also wanted to get off the shelf and choose to let the game kill itself, but my CEOs rejected my offer. ”

Andy's gaze never left Michael Bloomberg's old man's face, just hoping to see the expression change he made to what he said. Surely, when he heard Andy say that, the old man's obvious mouth snapped, Andy knew it was a shame.

“The company is yours, you should insist. ”

“Oh, Michael, that's not my business philosophy, I chose CEOs, and I believe in their abilities, and it's not good for businesses to have a narrow view of solo CAI. ”

Andy's words led several people here to nod and agree, while Michael Bloomberg had a slight contraction in his pupils, but the smile on his face was still friendly, smiling at everyone: "Sorry, guys, Andy, I think we should talk. ”

“Oh, sure, I'm looking forward to it. Excuse me, gentlemen. Excuse me.” Andy smiled and raised his glass to the crowd. After a sip, he nodded at Ivana and slowly walked up to the second floor with Michael Bloomberg.

Decorated in a rustic, thick study, Andy and Michael Bloomberg sit opposite each other in a chair on the back of a comfortable semi-circular chair.

“Thank you." Andy picked up the old man's baked cigar and lit it with a lighter on his finger, breathing smoke out of his mouth.

“Young man, we don't have to go around. What do you want? ”

Michael Bloomberg, who lit the cigar, opened the door directly to the mountain with his eyes slightly squinted in the smoke.

“Oh, actually, Mr. Bloomberg, you don't have to be nervous. I'm just looking forward to Bloomberg's future. It's a quality asset. After all, the impact of the subprime crisis is getting worse and worse. The dollar depreciation is too bad... ”

After hearing Andy's explanation, Bloomberg looked at Andy and said a few seconds later: "Bloomberg is my life's work, and I'm not going to give a shit, Andy Smith, and I want you to stop buying shares in the hands of other shareholders at a premium. ”

“Oh...” Andy didn't give a shit about the old man's gaze, leaned comfortably against the back of the chair, looked at Michael's serious old face, breathed a smoke, and laughed softly, but he was still very upset inside, and Nima, still found out by this old man.

In fact, the old fox was not idle. When he knew that Merrill Forest Securities was going to sell 30% of its shares, he called for redemption immediately, but by then Andy had signed an agreement with Merrill Forest, and it was in effect. If Merrill Forest did not want to accompany Andy 3.3 billion, it could only honestly fulfill the agreement.

Perhaps without Andy's presence, the old guy in front of him could really turn Bloomberg back into a private company he du cut, but it's still a limited company and still has a board of directors, even though he has more than half the stake, and he can't cover the day.

“Since I look at the future of Bloomberg, naturally I will not satisfy this stake. Investment, of course, is more beneficial, but unfortunately, I do not look after Bloomberg alone.” Andy's expression shrugged helplessly, some unfortunately spreading his hands.

“I want you to stop buying, it's good for the company to keep the five shareholders on the board, you've broken the balance, I want you to sell that 3% to the company, the company will add an extra 10% premium to your acquisition as an incentive for the company's management to share. ”

“If you take out the same shares to join, I have no problem! ”

“The company is mine! ”

“No doubt about that, I don't deny it! But what's wrong? Huh.”

Andy looked across the street and stared at Michael Bloomberg, smiling coldly at the smoke in the outlet. The outside world was absolutely right about the old guy in front of him. He had great control over YU, and he would often even ask his subordinates some provocative xing questions, forcing them to obey him.

The old man wanted to oppress him from the mood. It was a daydream. He was really in a hurry. He bullied other shareholders with his big shareholders, harmed the interests of the company, and called for the dissolution of the company. Of course, at that time, he killed 1,000 enemies and damaged 800 fish. The dead net broke. The old fox would never let this happen. Currently, the two are just trying to fight each other.

Listen to Andy's sneer, Michael Bloomberg didn't show any excitement, but his face was still gloomy, obviously he didn't pay attention to Andy's sarcasm, the old guy was his age, no one had ever seen him, he sat in the mayor of New York for so many years, the old fox, he also knew how hard Andy Smith was to eat, and he was born after trying.

“I've been mayor of New York for two consecutive terms, and I've been away from corporate management during that time. I don't want the company to have a big turmoil or fall into power games, I want you to join in making Bloomberg stronger, not wanting to take it away from me. ”

“You're worried, you'll continue to be mayor of the throne, and after three terms you can even stand as a DU candidate for presidential elections in the United States, which will be a miracle that you have money, connections, influence, track record, why not, huh? ”

Andy blew his sermon maliciously, painting the old man a big cake that could almost choke a dead man's cake.

Michael Bloomberg had a slight eye, and to be honest, Andy was also talking about his future plans. He was not short of money, and his political aspirations were his life's pursuits.

“Andy, come on, what do you want? Don't tell me it's just an investment, VP? Or something else? Give me an answer. ”

Andy doesn't care about the strength the old fox still maintains in his name and tone. He's not really young and cheerful. He smiles on his face and says: "A vice presidential position, but there has to be a responsible project, so give me the Bloomberg website! ”

There was a brief silence in the smoky study, and Andy was still a smiling old fox with a tall foot cup, shaking, watching the wine swing in the cup, while Yu Guang was watching the close-minded old fox.

Honestly, Michael Bloomberg didn't really care about Bloomberg's website. In his view, Bloomberg didn't need a website at all. In his view, focusing on trader services was the value of the company, and the media was just a means to get more traffic and attract more executives to buy its terminal business.

The same is true of realistic financial statements, where the company's media operations cost Bloomberg Ltd hundreds of millions of dollars annually, while Bloomberg Ltd derives the vast majority of its annual revenues of over $9 billion from its financial data terminals.

“VP in charge of the media business, Bloomberg website can du set up a subsidiary, financial merger, but at its own expense! ”

Finally, the old fox decided to stabilize the bad wolf who was already uncomfortable, stood at home, to be honest, over the years he had alienated the management of the company, there was such a greedy bad wolf coming in to stir things up, not necessarily a good thing, for the professional manager, he was a little disgusted, once at a company meeting, because of the differences in the company's media business, his CEO experience dared to sarcasm him that he was behind, damn bastard, did he forget who was paying him?

“Enjoy your cooperation!” Andy was ecstatic, and he didn't know that in Michael Bloomberg's eyes, the media business was just a tool to increase the company's influence, and the website was a loss of money and something that shouldn't exist, but for Andy, the old guy didn't want what he valued most.

“Which shares? ”

Andy shook his hand with the old fox and smiled softly: ”I'm very fond of Bloomberg, I don't sell shares, and if it's a share incentive, I don't mind, if you take out shares together! “

When I heard Andy's answer, Michael Bloomberg felt like a toothpick. This young man was so annoying, he wouldn't let go for 10% of the price! For an old friend who saw money and sold his shares, he had blacklisted him!

Oh, how can it be easy to spit out after eating in! Andy looked at the wrinkles on the old man's face and his heart grinned.
