Chapter 1225: Demons, God, Take Him Away! (40/66)

In the evening, Andy walked out of the Gaia building, escorted by bodyguards, opposite the road by a crowd of protesters with various brands, and dozens more protesters on the sidewalk not far from here with white signs and corpses.

In the United States, a significant proportion of people believe that the United States Government's bailout programme has benefited Wall Street speculators, the authors of the crisis.

Andy frowned slightly, shook his head, sat in Maybach's car, heard that the protests on Wall Street were worse, that the protesters in black and white masks had laid all around the bull sculpture, and that they were going to have a demonstration tomorrow.

Andy knew that the seeds of the 'occupation of Wall Street' had been planted and would continue to rise wildly over time, and that Wall Street seemed to become more and more chaotic, and he was a little helpless about that. After all, the Lehman Building now belonged to him, and Lehman went bankrupt, causing a lot of people to suffer, who appeared in front of the original Lehman Building to protest, and what could he say?

The security situation seemed to have gotten worse all of a sudden, the gun-ridden United States, which might have encountered some kind of psycho, to be honest, he would never be in New York right now if it wasn't for the NBC Global merger and acquisition.

As Andy speculated, late on the 29th, after the new tax law was no longer a secret, the new regulation would also allow wealthy banks to deduct the shrinking portion of the book value of Bank of America assets from the revenues of the wealthy banks, which would save billions of dollars in taxes for merged banks!

Richard Kovacevich, CEO of Rich Country Bank, immediately called USSR president Stills, who had entered into a deal with Citibank, to give the price of a $7 share, which is much more generous than the price of a $1 share trying to annex USSR Citibank.

The USA Board of Directors immediately decided to prepare to enter into the arms of the rich country, regardless of the flag's breach of contract!

The battle between Rich Country Bank and Citibank is officially underway!

The situation reversed on 3 October. On the same day, the Bank of Rich Countries announced an exchange of 0.1991: 1 United States Bank shares for the full acquisition of the Bank without the support of government agencies. This takeover proposal by the Bank of Rich Countries was approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank of America.

Just minutes after the two parties reached an acquisition agreement, Citibank issued a strong statement on the matter, accusing Union Bank of violating the previous exclusive agreement with Citibank and demanding that Bank of America and Bank of Rich Countries suspend their cooperation and refrain from any further transactions.

Subsequently, Citigroup applied to the New York Court for a provisional restraining order restricting transactions between the Bank of Rich Countries and the Bank of the United States until the Tribunal decided otherwise.

Meanwhile, the United States stock market continues to plummet under the influence of a $700 billion asset rescue plan that may not pass again when it returns to the House of Representatives for a vote.

It was at a time when this entire United States financial market was in great trouble that Andy Smith and Warren Buffett joined forces. Not only for the benefit, but also for the need for patriotism, even more so for the still volatile market!

In the lobby of New York's Rockefeller Center, hundreds of journalists held up cameras in their hands to take crazy photos, Andy Smith, Warren Buffett, General Electric CEO Jeff, sitting on the podium in a white sea of light.

“Mr. Buffett will purchase $3 billion of GES preferred shares at an annual dividend rate of 10 per cent. He was also granted the right to purchase $3 billion in common general electricity shares at $22.25 per share.

Mr. Smith, will purchase $3 billion in General Electric Ordinary Shares at $22.25 per share... ”

As the CEO, Jeff started smiling at the reporters below, saying endlessly to Barbara, bragging about the excellence of General Electric, bragging about Andy and Warren, with a slight smile on Andy's face.

After all, General Electric's share price is still at $24.75, it can buy $3 billion of ordinary shares cheaply, it's still very promising, it's just ordinary shares, it can be traded at any time, I believe this press conference is taking place at the same time General Electric's stock is starting to rise.

As for whether selling will make GE spit blood, that's not something Andy should consider anymore, no one will let their money drift in the water, and the best interest is in it.

Listen, Warren Buffett exaggerates General Electric like a flower, and Andy smiles in his heart, and he knows better than anyone that the true destructive power of this financial storm has not yet been finally demonstrated.

Between November 2008 and March 2009, these five months will be the darkest moment in the global economy, and now it will only be Hell before everyone realizes that Hell has eighteen floors underground.

“Mr. Smith, there is a rumor that you are secretly in contact with General Electric to seek a merger and acquisition of NBC Global. Is this rumor true? ”

As soon as the journalist's question was thrown out, the scene was silent, the lively discussion was raging, Andy's faint smile on his face did not disappear, and he didn't seem surprised, because the news was that General Electric had intentionally released it, and Andy had agreed to it.

Of course, in order to prevent half-way kills from biting gold, and General Electric from oblivion, Andy naturally signed an exclusive agreement against General Electric, so that Andy promised General Electric to release the message to stimulate General Electric's share price.

“Oh, you're a rumor again, a secret one, and I'm curious, since it's a secret contact, where did you get the rumor? Looks like New York's reporters are impenetrable. Rumors are true, and it's no secret. I did mean to merge NBC Worldwide, and negotiations with General Electric are in order.

I have a vision of a media kingdom. It's no secret, and everyone here knows it. Whether it's from the original New York Observer or Newsweek, Hollywood's Peak Entertainment, AMC Cable, Marvel Group, Bloomberg News Corporation and other companies, it's the puzzle of my media kingdom.

From scratch, it takes a lot of energy, time, and money, and to form scale and influence, it takes a lot more effort, and the idea of buying NBC Worldwide was born when Jeff and I played golf.

When General Electric hopes to return to the core industry, NBC Worldwide becomes a white elephant, one that needs money, one that needs to expand its business and fulfill its ideals, because when it takes what it needs, a big deal naturally fits in. ”

Wow...

When all kinds of questions shouted and shouted, Andy ignored the noise of these reporters and directly pressed down the chaotic scene, saying: "As for the details, you don't know the need now. After all, you will understand when the deal is completed. ”

The press conference ended in a noise, and General Electric's share price began to rise backwards, as expected, while Washington, D.C., saw the $700 billion asset bailout plan vote in the House of Representatives, which was eventually adopted by 263 votes to 171.

At 2.30 p.m. the same day, President Bush signed the bill, which entered into force. But at this time, more people across the United States were shocked by the news that Andy Smith was going to annex NBC Global, the media empire.

Once the deal succeeds, it also means owning a huge media empire including NBC TV Network, Universal Film, CNBC, MSNB, Syfy, USA and Bravo Cable Channels that combines all the media power Andy has into a super giant.

And Andy Smith, a 25-year-old young man, will be the youngest king of the media empire, deciding the time of family life for a third of Americans.

For a moment, the whole of Hollywood will be stunned, and the shadow of the Great Demon King will completely overshadow Hollywood; vibrating the entire American media, other competitors will have to refocus on the NBC, which has become the last saltfish, and the American people will be shocked, demons, God, take him away!
