Chapter 105: Blackstone Company


Midtown Manhattan, the most expensive business district in New York, is home to many world-famous financial companies.

However, this is not all the world of large companies, and many small companies with unique skills can also have a piece of the world here.

In an office building in Rockefeller Center, a small start-up company has its office here.

The company was founded last year with a registered capital of only $400,000 and only four bosses and employees.

Now, a year later, the total number of employees in the company has doubled to ten.

Why would a company with only 10 members dare to set its office address on Wall Street, because the company's founders are not ordinary people.

The company's two founders, both from Lehman Brothers, one of the five largest investment banks, are named Blackstone, which is derived from the Greek meaning of the founder's name Peterson, and the German meaning of the founder's name, Schwartzman, which means black.

Peterson and Schwartzman were not unknown on Wall Street, having served as assistant for international economic affairs in the Nixon administration, secretary of commerce, chairman of the National Productivity Council, and chairman of the U.S.

-Soviet Business Council before joining Lehman Brothers.

He has extensive contacts in politics and business in the United States, and is also a partner of Lehman Brothers.

As for Schwartzman, he was Peterson's apprentice at Lehman Brothers, and when he was at Lehman Brothers, Schwarzman became a partner of Lehman Brothers at the age of 31 under Peterson's appreciation and support, which is simply a miracle on Wall Street.

Peterson and Schwartzman worked very happily at Lehman Brothers, one of them was well-connected in both political and business circles, and the other was very proficient in equity investment.

So after Lehman Brothers proved their ability and won a good reputation in the industry, the two left Lehman Brothers to set up their own business.

With $400,000 and their respective assistants, they set up this small investment consulting firm, whose main business is to help commercial companies provide professional investment advice.

However, so far, the company's development has not been smooth, and it is still in the process of exploring its operations.

During this time, the business battle between OTA Communications and AT&T excited the entire Wall Street.

Even the two partners of Blackstone began to pay attention to this fierce business battle.

The two companies went from being evenly matched at the beginning to turning the whole situation around halfway, and this series of dazzling business exchanges made the very quiet telecommunications industry hot.

However, just after the announcement of the sale to AT&T, Wall Street analysts and bankers widely believed that the defeat of OTA Communications was foregone, and AT&T now has 2795 outstanding shares in Motorola and is only one step away from a general tender offer.

A Communications is a private company, and its finances are not public, but analysts generally believe that OTA Communications' listing and financing and bringing in new strategic investors is the only way out at present.

A communication is listed for financing, then the AT&T Company, which has Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley standing behind it, will definitely not let go of this opportunity to eat unicorns in the field of mobile communications.

Although Eva may lose control of the company, she will still make a lot of money, and no one will be a real loser in this business battle.

To everyone's surprise, Eva, the female head of OTA Communications, did not choose the clear path given by analysts.

Instead, he visited powerful investment firms everywhere, hoping to find new allies without giving up their shares.

A communication is a high-performing stock.

But Eva's stubbornness made the two Blackstone partners feel compassion.

Peterson and Schwartzman's Blackstone Company didn't have much business right now, so they used the OTA newsletter case as their research object to pass the time, and by the way, they trained their inexperienced employees.

A newsletter from the beginning of all the information and Peterson together with the study of this stubborn company.

Meticulously analyzing the company's financials, technology, and market outlook, Peterson and Schwartzman quickly discovered the value of OTA communications.

It is not so much that OTA communication cannot be separated from AT&T, but that AT&T cannot do without OTA communication.

A communication is really worthy of the leader in the mobile communication market, their first generation of mobile communication technology swept the United States, and the second generation of mobile communication technology has been successfully implemented in Japan.

The second-generation mobile technology of a communication not only has better call quality, but can also transmit multiple forms of data, which is simply disruptive.

Thanks to this data transmission technology, operators in the Japanese market can provide users with real-time information such as weather information, text news, and financial information.

This is definitely not comparable to AT&T's current service.

"Peterson, do you think there's any room for redemption now?"

Schwartzman asked his mentor for advice.

"I don't think this matter is really irreparable, I just think that the woman of OTA seems to be trapped in the cage of capital, and sometimes the problem of capital is not necessarily only solved by capital."

Peterson said meaningfully.

"Peterson, I wonder if we should take the initiative to reach out to OTA Communications, if we can take over the business consulting business of OTA Communications and help them get out of trouble, it will be so helpful to our Blackstone company, and we will definitely make a name for ourselves on Wall Street," Schwartzman said excitedly.

"Boy, I know you can see the essence of this, OTA communication can be without AT&T, but AT&T can't do without OTA communication.

But I just wonder why this company doesn't accept AT&T's investment, and insists on using its own funds to grow," Peterson asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, but I don't think it matters," Schwartzman was about to convince Peterson when there was a knock on his office door.

After getting Peterson's permission, the door was pushed open, and Peterson's personal assistant placed a document on the table and said, "Boss, I've consulted with a lawyer, most of Cisco's patents compete with OTA communications, and Cisco's patent applications are generally later than OTA. a.

If you initiate a patent lawsuit, Cisco may not be able to pass the test."

"Schwartzman, let's see if we can talk to that beautiful woman from OTA, we have what she needs now."
