Chapter 569

"At the same time, at & T announced that it will no longer develop its own network plan, but will join iridium's optical network plan..." - a report by the Peng Bo News Agency

"Iridium announced that it will provide services for WWF's Supercomputing Center connection project. The first optical fiber line will connect all universities in New York and Boston area, and then connect to California on the West Coast..." - Peng Bo News Agency

"NASA and iridium jointly announced that the first test and verification communication satellite will be launched before the end of the year. If all goes well, iridium plans to put all 77 communication satellites into orbit one after another next year..." - Bloomberg News Agency

In the days that followed, iridium became almost the largest source of financial news for the news agency. After the cooperation between at & T and iridium, a global telecom enterprise emerges as the times require, and human communication is about to enter the era of satellite. And EVA seems to have become a representative of American technology business. Even Microsoft's board is debating whether EVA should be given a more important role at Microsoft, not just as a financial investor.

But all this is just a false name for EVA. After this hard time, EVA has grown up a lot. It's all thanks to the words and deeds of Mr. Peterson. For talents like Peterson and Schwarzman, EVA and shariosha will never miss it, so when the cooperation between Yota and Blackstone comes to an end. EVA introduced Mikhail, President of Columbia bank, to Blackstone to discuss investment and equity.

"Mr. Peterson, Mr. Schwarzman! I admire both of you for your abilities and talents. I think it's a pity that Blackstone's business level is limited to consulting business. I don't know whether you are willing to accept the investment from Columbia bank? " Asked Mikhail humbly and seriously.

"You want to invest in Blackstone? I don't know how much you plan to invest and how many shares you will hold? " Asked Schwarzman.

"We hope to buy 80% of Blackstone's shares with us $2 billion. What do you think?" Mikhail cautiously replied that this acquisition is a firm attempt by shario Sha, because Blackstone will become a large investment bank comparable to Goldman Sachs in the future. Its clients will not only be the top rich in the United States, but also include Singapore's sovereign fund Temasek, Saudi kingdom's sovereign fund and Chinese government's sovereign fund. It's all happening in the next 30 years.

"Mikhail, I think you should be aware that Wall Street investment companies like us are very different from most traditional manufacturing companies. Our most important asset is actually our employees. In fact, this point is very similar to that of a lawyer's partner company outside. The quality of a law firm can't be measured by its financial statements. The key is to see who the lawyer of the law firm is! Blackstone does not welcome new investors, but we hope that investors will not interfere too much in the normal operation of the company! " Peterson is willing to accept the investment from his own point of view, but the Bank of Columbia requires too many shares. Once he accepts the money and helps the Bank of Columbia to work, it's not a big problem that he loses control of the company.

"Mr. Peterson, I fully understand your concerns. Out of trust and respect for the two gentlemen, we can change the way of cooperation. We adopt AB shares (dual equity system) and partnership system for cooperation. The two gentlemen can hold more class B shares with high voting rights, and the partnership system can also ensure that if there are more capable employees in the future, He can be promoted to a suitable position... "Mikhail's condition is the result of seryosha's careful consideration. Seryosha knows that all the value of Blackstone is now focused on Peterson and Schwarzman. As long as they stay in Blackstone, Blackstone will have an unlimited future. In order to retain these two talents and at the same time take into account Xie liaosha's interests, Xie liaosha chooses the ownership structure of AB shares. The so-called AB shares means that the company issues two different kinds of shares. Although the value is the same, B shares have higher voting rights than a shares. In this way, when there is a conflict within the company for a certain problem, the company will not be able to obtain the right to vote, In time, Schwarzman and Peterson own a small share of the stock, but they will not lose in the voting rights. The partnership system is another way to retain talents. It is usually popular in investment companies, law firms and accounting firms on Wall Street. If an employee is promoted to the position of partner because of his excellent ability, he can share the company's dividends without holding shares, and this right is only available to shareholders in ordinary companies.

"Mr. Mikhail, your plan is very generous! I am willing to accept your investment Peterson felt full of sincerity from Mikhail's proposal. Peterson is used to meeting people with big scenes, so he will not just be satisfied with Blackstone's current skirmish. And accepting the investment from CBC means that Blackstone has a strong capital backing, and they can do something they can't do in the past. Two billion dollars may not be an amazing investment on Wall Street, but for most American companies, it can solve many problems. Peterson looked at Schwarzman sitting on one side, blinked secretly, and a satisfied smile was still on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm willing to accept your investment, too!" Schwarzman said quickly.

OK, since both of you don't have any opinions, our cooperation is settled. I'll talk to a lawyer and Blackstone about the contract as soon as possible. I hope we can have a good cooperation.

"Happy cooperation!" Mikhail gets up and shakes hands with Schwarzman and Peterson. They send Mikhail downstairs all the time. Then they turn around and answer to run the company. At this time, the small company suddenly heard the voice of two partners shouting. The employees in the company didn't know what happened, but they made the two partners so abnormal.

"Peterson, tell me it's two billion?" Schwarzman exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, it's two billion. Schwarzman, I think we should change our office. How about Rockefeller Center?" Peterson said happily.

"Peterson, I still like the Empire State building. The restaurants nearby are delicious!" Schwarzman objected.

"Rockefeller Center!"

"Empire State Building!"

"Rockefeller Center!"

"Empire State Building!"

"Schwarzman, I'm going to vote on my preferred stock. Go to Rockefeller Center!"
