The autumn is in full bloom and the sun is in just right.

Autumn is the most gorgeous and purest. The vast golf course perfectly blends with the beautiful nature, which is also one of the important reasons why so many people love golf. In the picturesque scenery, what is completed is not only a game, but also a trip between the body and the soul.

"Bang!"

Jeff looked at the golf ball hit by his swing, slowly retracted the club, and smiled at Andy and Warren beside him, saying, "This is the only time in the past two months that he can relax and play a golf game.

So far this year, due to people's concern that GE cannot control itself in this stormy market because of its large size, its stock price has shrunk by about 42%. We have lowered our earnings expectations twice. To be honest, the pressure is too great, and I'm a little breathless."

Warren and Andy looked at each other, and Andy knew the character of the guy in front of her, and she wanted to get NBC Global from others, so she would naturally like her. Moreover, this guy just likes to listen to good things and can fool him. Andy will not be stingy with some good things to the other party.

"GE is the representative of American companies to the world," Andy squatted down and inserted the ball on the lawn, put the golf ball on, pose, looked away, and continued to smile. "You have outstanding brands and businesses around the world, and I am very impressed by this. I believe that GE will create new glory in the next few years."

"Bang!"

Andy swung the ball and the golf ball drew a beautiful parabola to the ground. Jeff looked at the landing point and praised the "good ball" with a smile.

"The investments of both will provide strong support to our company's financial foundation and help maintain aaa credit rating." Jeff continued with a relaxed smile on his face: "The market turmoil is expected to continue for a while, but I am still confident in GE's next strategic plan."

Warren Buffy nodded, and then said earnestly: "The most important thing is to shrink the front line so that we can focus our energy on core businesses such as infrastructure. I know Welch is your mentor and friend, but his pursuit of short-term profits has exposed serious risks, and General Motors is time to return to its original track."

Jeff's face changed slightly, and his original smile slowly calmed down. After a moment of silence, he finally had to shake his head and smile bitterly, sighed and said, "I don't know this, but this is a very big project, and the pain will also make people feel unforgettable!

At present, I can only get through the difficulties one by one. I plan to bring Bank of America, Citi, German Bank, J.p.mg and mg Stanley to act as auxiliary book managers.

Then, slowly getting rid of the financial industry and some industries that do not match the main business, we can only take it slowly.”

Andy and Warren looked at each other and saw a glimmer of light in each other's eyes. Andy played with the club in his hand while walking side by side with the two of them, and suddenly spoke: "Has General Electric considered selling NBC Global?"

"Of course... um?" Jeff blurted out without thinking, immediately noticed a strangeness, frowned slightly and said softly, paused, turned to look at Warren Buffett with a smile on his face and Andy Smith with a smile on his face, and then thought of something, shook his head and laughed.

No one was surprised by Jeff's keen reaction. Anyone who can reach this position really treats him as a fool is really stupid. Andy and Warren smiled at each other.

Warren smiled first and said, "Andy has always had ambitions in the media kingdom. This is no secret. This time, you General Electric reform, Andy saw the opportunity to realize his dream. After all, NBC Global has become a big burden for General Electric. I feel that this is a win-win thing, so I agreed to his request to help you build a bridge."

Jeff looked at Andy Smith's young and handsome face with a smile that had not changed from beginning to end, pondered for a while and said, "We will not sell NBC Global completely. Of course, I believe Andy, you will not choose to completely annex NBC Global, after all, it is not cheap!"

"Yes, I just need to control it. I don't exclude partners. As long as I am the leader, you need funds and I need to expand my territory. When the two achieve their respective goals through exchanges, the transaction will naturally happen, right?" Andy did not hide his ambitions and persistence, but directly pointed out his bottom line.

Jeff narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Andy, and then thought quickly. Warren Buffett, who was beating, looked at Jeff, smiling and said: "NBC Global has become a white elephant for General Electric today. (expensive and useless thing, the meaning of the American version of uselessness) The parent company not only does not get benefits, but will also be dragged down by it. More importantly, including you and the board of directors, is it really important to see NBC Global?

I'm afraid the energy and attention I put in is not half as much as the financial sector. Andy's ability is even better. Look at the current amc TV station. Since "Friends", nbc..."

Speaking of this, Warren stopped at the right time, but shook his head with a sigh and disappointed look, everything was silent.

"Just as Warren said, I will let NBC Global return to its peak, rather than being like now, even being suppressed by Fox. I am Andy Smith, here..." Andy pointed to his head and said domineeringly: "I have never lacked golden ideas and good stories!"

"Haha..." Jeff shook his head and laughed, with a hint of bitter expression. NBC Global, who personally led the merger and acquisition, still wants him to decide whether to turn over others. His mood is so complicated that it can be imagined. He was full of energy at that time, but now he is going to survive by surviving after the tail.

"Huh" Jeff took a deep breath, his face became serious, his eyes looked at Andy without any concession, and said in a cold tone: "I will never agree to the sale of NBC Global! If you want, then be mentally prepared!"

Andy was very happy, but his face was very calm, and he said with a smile: "My negotiating team will visit tomorrow. So, should we shake hands and celebrate, and have a happy cooperation?"

Looking at the handsome and calm face in front of him and his big hands stretched out, Jeff stretched out his hand with a complicated expression and clenched it tightly, "Happy cooperation."

"Haha, congratulations to the two on reaching a consensus, we should find a place to have a drink, right?" Warren Buffett suggested with a smile.

"It's a good idea." Andy smiled at Warren with gratitude, then looked at Jeff.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Jeff looked at Warren and Andy, shook his head and laughed again, handed the club to the caddy, swept away his solemnity and complex mood before and said...

In the bar at the golf club, Andy touched Warren with champagne and said, "Thank you."

Warren chuckled and shook his head, raised his glass to drink, and then the three of them started chatting more relaxedly until around 4 pm, when the three of them were about to end the party, they received the call at the same time.

Listening to the sound of the three mobile phones, the three of them immediately became solemn. They looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. None of the three people present were ordinary people, and when they received the call at the same time, it means that something really happened.

Sure enough, after answering the phone, the three of them looked at each other with different expressions.

Just now, the Michigan Main Street Bank declared bankruptcy and Washington Mutual Bank was seized and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

"Haha, the turbulent financial market will become even more tense now!" Jeff drank all the red wine in his cup, stood up and looked at Andy and Warren helplessly and smiled bitterly: "This is to remind everyone that the worst financial crisis in decades is still continuing. Andy, please don't use negotiation methods to delay time. We both sides are straightforward to talk. If possible, come up with a plan as soon as possible! Two, I'll take the lead..."

Looking at Jeff's back as he left, Warren said to Andy with a serious expression: "It seems that these two news will have a great impact on him."

Andy nodded, not surprised him at all about the collapse of Mutual Bank, and it can even be said to be something he has been looking forward to, so that he can enjoy the food.

Warren Buffett looked at the faint smile on the corner of Andy's mouth with deep eyes, and hesitated. Then he leaned forward, and his eyes behind the lens became dazzling. He stared at Andy tightly and said in a low voice: "Washington Mutual Bank, you'd better not reach out, it's not worth it..."

As he said that, Warren stood up, not explaining to Andydo, who was frowning in the Sichuan-word word "Shi" and reached out to pat Andy on the shoulder, then left the bar with his bodyguard.
Chapter completed!
