In Manhattan, New York, there are many world-renowned financial companies, but there are also countless small companies like Blackstone.
Every day, there are investors with dreams who want to prove their abilities in the heart of the world's finance.
I hope I can take revenge.
But the competition here is brutal, and many companies disappear without even a ripple, as if they never existed.
The R Group is a role model for these small companies, and it took only ten years for R to go from unknown to famous.
The three founders of the R Group used their own experiences to tell the elite of Wall Street that if you don't want to spend your whole life making huge profits for the big five investment institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, then come out and start your own business.
As long as you can find the right way, even if you are a small company, you can still get Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to come to you.
When Eva's assistant handed her business card to the staff of Company R, the reply was, "I'm sorry Ms.
Eva, we can't receive you today because you didn't make an appointment in advance." ” "It's okay, I can wait," Eva said, suppressing her anger.
"Are you really sure you want to wait, our company's partners' schedules are full, you see that the vice president of Bear Stearns is sitting in the conference room over there, and there are some other companies that want to discuss cooperation with us, I think it's really not appropriate today, it's better to leave your contact information, and wait until the schedules of our three partners are vacant, and we will contact you again" The reception staff of R company euphemistically ordered the eviction, Eva swore she hadn't been so quiet since she had been in business, but now she was bowing to the small company R.
Eva held back her anger and said to the other party, "Then thank you, it seems that we are really not here at the right time" Eva almost stood up and left the conference room after speaking, his assistant picked up her bag and hurriedly chased it out.
It's been two weeks since Bloomberg News broke the news of R's leveraged buyout of Motorola.
During this time, Eva has been in contact with major investment firms in New York, such as Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, and even Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, who stand behind AT&T.
However, nothing came of it, and all these big investment banks were unwilling to come forward to confront the R Group, but persuaded Eva that it would be better to sell her stake and become a subsidiary of AT&T.
They look at communications like a dying prey.
Just a few years ago, when Telecom first announced a strategic partnership with AT&T, the investment company that wanted to help Telecom braved the heat of more than 40 degrees Celsius to crowd the parking lot of its headquarters.
Eva has completely felt the ruthlessness of capital during this time, when you don't need these people, these people are like nasty flies pestering you, and when you really need something, these people ignore you.
There seems to be only one path before Eva now, and that is to allow new investors to join the communications board.
Eva didn't tell Seryosha what had happened, she only learned about Seryosha from Karim and Tonya.
During this time, Seryosha has been contacting investment institutions in the British City of the United Kingdom, hoping to find an investment institution that can confront Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, but the current situation has been known to investors on the Atlantic side, even if Seryosha has a good relationship with them, they lose confidence at the thought of going to fight against Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
Now, even Bear Stearns, Motorola's largest investor, is inclined to abandon the Iridium program in favor of AT&T's network plan.
Motorola was originally a major supplier to AT&T, and investing in AT&T would make their lives better.
As a result, with the acquiescence of Motorola's management, the development of Iridium slowly came to a standstill.
Mikhail's fundraising in Japan has also not been smooth, because Japan has only recently adopted Eva's second-generation mobile communication technology to build its own communication network, and Eva's Iridium plan is tantamount to competing with Japanese telecom operators, so Japanese financial institutions are naturally reluctant to help at this time.
However, Japanese conglomerates are also interested in the technology of their hands, and acquisitions are possible, and cooperation is not negotiable.
Although the Japanese do not do things so directly, Mikhail still touched the ashes of his nose.
Things have come to this point beyond Seryosha's expectations, and communication has always been the pride of Seryosha and Eva.
Although the company's technology comes from the Altai communication system of the Soviet Union, Seryosha has invested a lot of resources, and now the second-generation communication system, which is unique in the world in terms of technology, has been successfully developed, but it has encountered such great difficulties in the process of facing the market, which Seryosha has never imagined.
Seryosha is constantly looking for new investors, but it is almost impossible to find a large consortium around the world that can compete with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
After the signing of the Plaza Accord in Japan, Seryosha has invested most of his working capital, including the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank, in the foreign exchange market, and now conservatively estimates that he has earned a profit of about $1.5 trillion.
Perhaps this amount of money can be compared with the scale of funds managed by Goldman Sachs, but in terms of financing ability, Goldman Sachs also stands behind a large amount of funds, including the Canadian Pension Fund, the Dutch National Pension Fund and other institutions, and their customers are all over the world's richest class, even the royal family in the Middle East is happy to hand over their wealth to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
Under this relationship, Seryosha simply cannot compete with Goldman Sachs.
In fact, not to mention Seryosha, even the governments of most countries around the world are probably no match for Goldman Sachs.
If Seryosha's Gorky system were to go toe-to-toe with old chaebols like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, they would have no chance at all.
While Seryosha was still struggling to figure out how to respond, AT&T, which was sharpening its knives, finally gathered its butcher's knives.
On the last trading day before the 1986 Independence Day holiday, AT&T announced that it had reached an agreement with R Group to acquire all Motorola shares owned by R Group at a high price, while Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley announced support for AT&T's network project.
R was the biggest winner in this deal as a malicious Black Knight. t1706231537:
