Chapter 561

Ten million dollars is really just a small thing for EVA. The consulting fee paid to Blackstone is not unfair at all. By the time EVA leaves Smith & Wollensky's, she can't wait to see at & t get angry after learning that it can't use Cisco's technology.

During the dinner, Peterson advised EVA not to try to monopolize all the shares of iridium, but to try to attract some new and powerful investors. Because at & T is a super big Mac, and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are the kings of American capital. Yota communications is like an ant to the three companies.

"Ms. EVA, I hope you can make iridium open to investors, at least not exclude strategic investors. You need to know that controlling a company does not only require capital and equity, but the technology you have is unique. As long as Yota can maintain its leading position in the industry, iridium will never leave your control! " Peterson said earnestly.

"Mr. Peterson, I already understand this truth, but now big companies are on the side of at & T. even if we can use a patent lawsuit to delay at & T's network plan, almost all investors are not optimistic about Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley behind them..." EVA continued.

"Ms. EVA, please don't worry. I will go to Japan in a few days. I have some friends there. If you can trust my apprentice Schwarzman, I will let him handle the patent lawsuit!" Peterson replied.

After the dinner, on the way back, EVA excitedly told the good news to Xie liaosha. After hearing Peterson's plan to use patent litigation to hold down the opponent, Xie liaosha suddenly realized, and then asked admiringly, "how do you know Mr. Peterson?"

"Yes, no! They came to me on their own initiative. At first, I thought it was some small company that wanted to fish in troubled waters. I almost threw away their invitation letter. Blackstone, what's the name... "EVA complained, but she felt very happy.

"No wonder, Blackstone?" Xie liaosha suddenly realized and said, but he was surprised. He was so sleepy that someone gave him a pillow. I didn't expect that Blackstone Group, which is famous in the future, is still so small.

"EVA, find a chance to ask Mr. Peterson if they are interested in private equity investment. I can let Mikhail invest in them!" Xie liaosha said to EVA suddenly. He now knows that the other party is Blackstone Group, the world's largest private equity company that can rival Goldman Sachs in the future. How can he miss this rare early investment opportunity? Xie liaosha has now begun to withdraw from the Japanese market. It is conservatively estimated that he will have a profit of 1.5 trillion US dollars. There are only a few talents in the world who can manage the money. Bill gross is one of them, and Peterson and Schwarzman are also the top talents in this field. But Bill Gross and Blackstone have totally different ways of making money. Bill Gross mainly benefits from investing in treasury bonds. The risk of treasury bonds is relatively small, and the income is relatively stable, which is more suitable for a stable investment mode. Peterson and Schwarzman make money by acquiring potential companies to become bigger and stronger. In the future, the development speed of Blackstone is absolutely beyond imagination. They can easily change the pattern of a certain industry. Most importantly, Peterson's strong contacts in politics and business two times as commerce minister almost make him have the fund-raising ability that ordinary managers can't match.

"Xie liaosha, I knew you would not let this company go!" EVA completely convinced Peterson today. Although the company of the other party is not as good as Yota communication, as long as Peterson and Schwarzman are in charge, the little Blackstone will soar to the sky sooner or later.

……

A few days after confirming the cooperation between the two sides, Mr. Peterson left the United States and went to Japan. The reason why Peterson is confident that he can help Yota find new strategic investors in Japan is that the period when he was Minister of Commerce was just the beginning of Japanese goods entering the United States. Peterson has a good personal relationship with a large number of Japanese business people. Now the famous Sony President Akio Morita is a good friend of Peterson. Peterson is confident to let the Japanese stand on the side of Yota to support iridium.

Soon after, Schwarzman took all the employees of Blackstone to Cambridge to sort out the patent lawsuits with Cisco. Yota communications' own legal department and network R & D department worked overtime to refine their patent application materials and continue to contribute to Yota's moat.

On the second Saturday of July 1986, because it was a day off, the New York Stock Exchange had stopped trading. On the previous trading day, at & T had just completed its plan to increase its stake in Motorola and formally proposed to the New York stock exchange a plan to acquire Motorola in an all-round way. At & T's offer is $1.97 below Motorola's current share price. This means that investors who entered last month and this month before independence day not only did not make money, but also suffered certain losses. However, the opinions of these speculators are not enough to affect the overall situation, because at & T has successfully convinced Bear Stearns, Motorola's second largest shareholder, to accept the offer. The two companies hold more than half of Motorola's shares, and their opinions are the final opinions of the board of directors. At & T will not raise its offer for the benefit of individual investors.

However, the cooperation between the two sides has not been formally signed, because the deal of Bear Stearns is still waiting for the approval of the board of directors of Bear Stearns. But in the eyes of all investment analysts and financial media, it's only a matter of time. At & T can't wait to hold a board meeting over the weekend to announce the official launch of its network plan. In addition, at & T also intends to get involved in the field of satellite communications. Almost all at & T shareholders are looking forward to the trillions of network market after the annexation of Motorola. They have already begun to predict how far at & T's share price will soar next Monday.

Just then, an injunction from the District Court of San Jose, California, put the alliance between Cisco and at & T in jeopardy, and EVA was about to take revenge.
