American Fortune Life

Chapter 1318: Dark Tides

Knock, knock...

Andy's faint face was constantly lit by this flickering flash, watching journalists blocking the way forward, and the obviously provocative issues raised in his ears did not anger him.

“I'm saddened, in a sense, that GE is a great company full of legends, and I just didn't realize when such a great company became so fragile...

And I've been thinking about this, and I've been thinking a little bit about how, in the simple capital markets of the past, a group of companies, or what you might call a cross-industry enterprise or multi-business group, could have brought to investors the efficiencies they didn't get from capital markets.

It is unclear when these group enterprises, with large and complex branches, actually operate in part as mutual funds with active management strategies, while also acting as private equity investments.

Do those who are good at trading have the ability to manage all their businesses? Once investors began to wonder about it, they quickly went down. In the '60s and' 70s, we loved this kind of business. And then we hated them.

If General Electric wants a bright future. Then, large-scale portfolio transformation will be what they will have to face. GE, it's time to make a change and get back to tradition! ”

For Andy's part, everyone present was a little obnoxious, but it didn't prevent them from listening quietly to the record, it didn't explain whether he was an empty force, it didn't clarify the contradiction with Buffett, but it was very sensible to help General Electric point out where the problem was and change direction.

“Warren and I are friends, and I agree very much with what he said. Investing is investing in national shipping, and investors should be patriots. And I, even now, have always had confidence in the economy and future of the United States, and have always believed firmly that the marketization mechanism of the United States is the driving force behind its economic development.

That's why I'm so knowledgeable about local American investment that I'm more willing to invest in industry than in some capital game!

I prefer physical assets to financial markets that hit the drums, because they create real value for money, provide more jobs, give me a sense of entrepreneurial achievement, but also create more jobs for the American people, which is fundamental to a country's economic prosperity, and I will continue to focus on industrial investment.

I regret that General Electric's requirements cannot be met in the case of the NBC Global M&A, because any business needs to be fair and win-win to achieve cooperation, not unilateral gains to the detriment of the other party.

Despite the many problems and differences in the previous negotiations, I am also willing to help and restart mergers and acquisitions negotiations with each other in the face of the current situation of General Electric, and hope that they will soon emerge from the dilemma and complete the business portfolio transformation to make General Electric great again!

Thank you... ”

Andy's voice dropped, the bodyguards and the building's security broke up the reporter group, cleared the passage, Andy walked away with a group of his men, got in the car quickly, didn't go anymore and yelled at journalists yelling about various issues.

“Wonderful, I have some unexpected bosses of your investment philosophy, after all, this is the golden age of finance as king and the Internet as king.” Robert Rhodes, the king's attorney walking with the car, looked at Andy with a smile and said with some emotion.

“Oh, I also have financial investment companies and several internet companies, but I really don't have much interest in capital games, which to me is just a temporary means of meeting them, and speculation is like drumming flowers, wealth is just redistributed and not increased. The end result has always been that money has been diverted from the easily deceived to the deceitful, and the victims have always had no shortage of them. In contrast, I prefer to create a sense of accomplishment of wealth! ”

Andy said with a faint smile on his face that Andy still feels that industry can bring him more sense of security and immobility than a vain digital game of money. In fact, this can also understand his idea. After all, it came to the world in a strange way. In any case, there is a subconscious sense of whether everything is a false sense of insecurity, and the financial markets are so spooky, the wealth and bankruptcy are just instantaneous things too much.

A pair of long tui stacked together to prevent light, Amahl with a smile in the corner of her mouth, a pair of big eyes puffing towards Andy sitting opposite her, full of admiration and admiration for her employer, it was a wonderful morning, impressive, the new boss showed all kinds of things, also made her lament Andy's name is not false.

Andy was interviewed for a conversation that quickly spread as the Internet spread, not because the stock gods targeted, the various media provocations and accusations, the explanation of what, much less the outrage. Instead, they offer advice in good faith to Generals and are willing to help.

More importantly, Andy Smith shows up to prove, with his own example, that 'friend' Warren Buffett's 'investment is in national shipping, investors are supposed to be patriots', and to make everyone realize that Andy Smith, a super-rich man, has really been marching towards industry, creating more jobs, and booming the 'patriots' of the American economy!

Watching the latest news stories on TV, Warren Buffett looked gloomy, took off his black frame glasses, frowned tightly, his eyelids jumped uncontrollably straight, and was shaken by his angry fingers and wiped the lenses with a glasses cloth.

“Shameless! ”

Although Warren Buffett cursed him the first time, more is boring and speechless bitterness, mute eats yellow lotus, can't say bitterness, his own words intentionally directed at him, easily taken by him to give him a footnote on his investment behavior, becoming the best proof that he is a patriot!

When I saw the report, Andy's loved ones and friends, the women didn't laugh in anger, and the original worry swept away, it turned out to be an asshole! I am also impressed that Andy has so easily resolved a potentially negative crisis.

Suddenly, Andy Smith, a conscientious, socially responsible entrepreneur, was being sought and worshipped by various news reviews and forum messages, and for a while, several industrial companies on the Internet in the United States became the only measure of patriotic investors.

“Haha, I like this guy, I see his shadow from him, he's a big, bold thinker, a very good son-in-law, I like him! Ha ha... ”

Ivana had a proud sweet smile on her face, watched her own man talk calmly on TV, listened to her father laugh happily and put a gold compliment on her face, and couldn't help but whitewash her own unreliable father's eyes. Unconsciously placed his hand on his belly, the red chun flickered, and his white teeth sparkled.

In the CEO's office at GEM headquarters, Jeff Imert frowned and hung up the shareholder's interrogation call with a grin, which was no longer known. In just one morning, he felt incredibly tired. Although, the share price had risen back to $1, the General Electric stock, which had become a sieve, had lost investor trust in a short time, lost the favor of Wall Street, and became the laughing stock of people after tea meals.

“Knock, knock...”

“Boss, Andy Smith just had an interview in London...” The little secretary walked in quickly, then said as he picked up the remote, turned on the TV in the office and moved out of the news station.

“ In the face of General Electric's current situation, I am also willing to help, restart mergers and acquisitions negotiations with each other, and hope that they can get out of the dilemma as soon as possible, complete the business portfolio transformation and make General Electric great again! ”

“Boom!”

“You shameless bastard!” Watching on TV, Andy Smith's pale, handsome face, facing the high gesture of 'I Don't Remember the Little Man' in the lens, Jeff Yimert slapped the desktop, raged, and his eyes burned.

Bells, bells, bells--

While Jeff was furious, the phone rang again, and Jeff grabbed the microphone, his anger was out of control and his tone seemed a little stiff.

“Hey, I'm Jeff Imert...” But without saying a word, Jeff would have squeezed an awkward smile on Iron Green's face and explained with a smile, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Brennan, I just saw an interview with Andy Smith... ”

“Oh, have you seen the news? Well, since he's still interested in mergers and acquisitions, then restart the negotiations. He's right, we should make a change and make the deal happen as soon as possible. We need to regain the trust of investors and Wall Street, and the stock price is unacceptable to anyone right now. ”

Jeff Imert's expression on his face was constantly changing, his hands holding the microphone were bloodless, his blues bulging and his lips shaking a little, but facing the decision of the person on the other side of the phone, he could only bitterly say in a dull voice: "But it was all him. ”

“Do you have proof? What we need now is cash, good news, to rebound General Electric's share price, not to hold accountable who's running out on us, to let shareholders and investors cut losses, to get through the hardships before we talk about anything else, and if you feel embarrassed, I'll hold others accountable, as for Andy Smith, huh. ”

Listening to a shady laugh, Jeff's face twitched, his forehead sweating straight, “I won't let you down!” His voice had just dropped and the phone was busy and he had a twitch in the corner of his mouth and slowly hung up.
