Chapter 565

Bill Gross's trading method makes his opponent's market very uncomfortable. He is always making a surprise attack. Whenever at & T stabilizes Motorola's stock price, Bill Gross will suddenly short Motorola's stock. But when at & T wants to fight Bill Gross, Bill Gross just slipped away. As a result, at & T is accumulating more and more hand losses.

Bill gross has his own difficulties, because he is not sure how much support Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will provide to at & T, so Bill Gross can only rely on this kind of rogue tactics to kill his opponent's patience, in order to seek the opportunity to defeat his opponent.

During this period, EVA began to meet with Wall Street bankers under the arrangement of Schwarzman, including fund companies, commercial banks, investment banks, insurance companies, and trust companies. A month ago, these companies were still indifferent to EVA, but now they have changed their attitude and began to actively seek cooperation. The most important one is Bear Stearns, one of the largest shareholders of Motorola and one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street. Because of the suspension of at & T, Motorola, which originally played a minor role in the business war, became the biggest shield for at & T's bad news. It made Bear Stearns angry, and it gave EVA a chance.

The biggest obstacle for Peterson to find new investors in Japan is the Ministry of general production of the Japanese government. Under Peterson's persuasion, NTT president has agreed to join the iridium project. Peterson also gets Sony's support through his personal relationship with Sony President Akio Morita. In return, Sony will get orders for the production of terminal equipment under the iridium project, Kyocera group, another powerful manufacturer in Japan, is also willing to join in the manufacturing of iridium terminal equipment.

Akio Morita and Kazuo Inamori, the president of Kyocera, are superstars in Japanese economic circles. They are the representatives of Japanese economy in this era. At Peterson's request, they criticized the conservatism of the province one after another in the newspapers. As Minister of Tibet, Takeshita also led his own Takeshita faction to join the siege of the province, because Mikhail has promised in private that Takeshita's secretary can indirectly hold one thousandth of iridium's shares through the shell company in the Caymans, According to the total investment amount of iridium plan, this is already tens of millions of dollars. Once iridium goes public in the future, this investment will get tens of times of investment. Mikhail, who got Takeshita minister, indirectly pulled Bank of Japan and Bank of Tokyo into the camp of Yota communications.

Minister Takeshita is a powerful political force in the current ruling LDP. It is said that he has a good chance of becoming the next prime minister. However, the LDP is not monolithic. The central Zeng faction represented by Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone is still the largest faction in the LDP, while the province of TONGCHAN is firmly in the hands of the central Zeng faction. The companies led by industrial representatives Akio Morita and Takao Inamori are the important financial resources of the LDP. In addition, the chuxia faction is making trouble in the party, In the end, the province compromised.

Shortly after the Ministry of communications and industry officially replied to NTT, Peterson had boarded the business plane arranged by EVA and flew over the Pacific Ocean. In the early morning of the next day, new news broke out immediately by the Peng Bo news agency. Yota communication's iridium project has received support from Bank of Japan, Bank of Tokyo, NTT, Sony and Kyocera. They will jointly inject $7.5 billion into the iridium project to obtain about 15% of iridium's original shares, Iridium's stock value has reached 50 billion US dollars without listing.

With the participation of the Japanese consortium, Wall Street now has to re-examine the value of iridium. Shortly after the news was released, the emerging noble Columbia bank and one of the five largest investment banks, Lehman Brothers, also announced that they would join iridium star. They would invest 2.5 billion in each company. In return, the two companies would each get a 5% controlling interest.

EVA's 25 percent stake has $50 billion in reserves. However, the investment of CBC is just a cover. In fact, it's just a game of Gorky enterprises. However, outsiders don't know the relationship between CBC and Yota communications.

With 50 billion yuan of capital, Yota communications has no worries. Peterson, who returned to the United States, began to use his political relations in the United States to find a new partner to replace Motorola. Even EVA was surprised by the partner Peterson wanted.

"What, you want the Pentagon to get involved and invest in us?" Eva was startled by Peterson's idea that the Pentagon could be called iridium's partner.

"EVA, if you don't want iridium to run into a long-term loss after its official operation, it's definitely the most cost-effective to get the Pentagon contract. We can persuade them to give up developing their own global satellite communication system and use ours instead. Another advantage of the Pentagon is that the Japanese on the board of directors will never dare to make any mistakes in the future. Even if iridium is listed in the future, they will not be able to control the company by purchasing the circulating shares and expel you from the board of directors! " Peterson explained patiently.

"Well, Mr. Peterson, I'm really frightened by your idea. I'm not against it“ EVA said apologetically. In fact, she was frightened by Peterson. If the Pentagon knew that iridium's behind the scenes boss was the foreign trade minister of the Soviet Union, it had to scare itself to death.

"EVA, the reason why you went to Motorola for cooperation was that they had developed a similar satellite communication system for the Pentagon, but the information I got was slightly different. There was also an important player in this system, Lockheed Martin, an arms manufacturer. Maybe we can get in touch with this company and see if we can get what we can't get from Motorola from Lockheed Martin! " Peterson once again suggested that EVA now deeply feels the real value of Blackstone's ten million dollars. Peterson and Schwarzman are not comparable to the money only bankers on Wall Street.
