Chapter 1301 Invitation to Mellon

The latest website: After reading the information, Xia Yu fell into contemplation, and the trend of the US communication market appeared in his mind.

After the split of AT&T, its parent company, as well as Western Electric Company, are definitely the core assets, but it is impossible for him to eat it, and it would be very good to be able to acquire a part of the equity from the stock market.

Peter Lynch is also very pragmatic, so he didn't mention it, but directly asked which one of the seven Bell brothers was competing for.

According to the historical track, among the seven Bell brothers, the most promising one is Southwest Bell Company. After the United States promulgated a new "Telecommunication Act" in 1996 and reopened the restrictions on the telecommunications industry, it first merged with Pacific Bell Company, and then merged with it. Amedak Corporation, then annexed the original parent company AT&T, and finally annexed Bell Southern Company, becoming the largest telecommunications company in later generations.

When the Southwest Bell Company was first decomposed, there were only five businesses in the Southwest state, ranking the bottom, but it was able to swallow three of the seven Bell brothers and the original parent company, which is not unbelievable.

The Atlantic Bell Company and the New York Telephone Company, which inherited a strong family background, merged in 1997 and eventually evolved into Verizon Telecom, the second largest telecommunications company in the United States.

The last of the seven Bell brothers merged with broadband company Quest Telecom in 2000.

On the surface, the most inherited assets are Atlantic Bell, followed by New York Telephone, followed by Amedak, Pacific Bell, Southern Bell, Southwest Bell, and Western Bell.

Atlantic Bell is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Needless to say about the New York Telephone Company.

Amedak is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

Pacific Bell is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Bell Southern is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.

Southwest Bell's headquarters are in Houston, Texas.

The Last Bell of the West is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

On the surface, these seven companies are arranged according to their assets, but with Xia Yu's vision, he will naturally not be limited to the superficial things, and he can also see the future.

Like Southwest Bell,

Inherited assets ranked second from the bottom, but I can't bear Texas, and the surrounding states are not bad.

Another example is Pacific Bell, which owns the local call business in California.

The potential for the future in states like these two is enormous.

What's more, the split and turf division this time is just a new starting point. Is there any rule that you can't go to other states when you consolidate your own turf?

Xia Yu is very clear that this time the US government has dismembered AT&T, which will give hope to countless people, and at least a thousand telecom companies will emerge to compete for the market in the next period of time.

In the past life, the Southwest Bell Company, which was backed by a Texas consortium, broke through the siege.

In this life, it might be his company that killed him.

The key is to see how to operate, how to survive and grow in the brutal market competition.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu still found out that the most suitable one for him was Pacific Bell.

Pacific Bell's local area includes California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, and two more tasteless states, Alaska and Hawaii.

With the current population and economic size of Alaska and Hawaii, they are not as large as Utah.

So although it seems to have inherited the business of six states, it can actually be regarded as five states.

Fortunately, there is still California, so the assets can be ranked in the middle level of the Bell Seven Brothers, which is much stronger than the Southwest Bell Company, which has a Texas site.

But with the California site, as well as the Washington state site, Pacific Bell is attractive enough to him.

And Pacific Bell is still headquartered in San Francisco, where Polaris Capital is located, rather than Los Angeles, where the California consortium is based.

After making a decision, Xia Yu found a suitable time to call Peter Lynch.

This phone call lasted more than 40 minutes.

In addition to telling him to launch an acquisition of TWA as soon as possible to compete for Pacific Bell, he also told him about the Canadian and Chicago consortiums.

After that, Xia Yu made another phone call to Jiuding Securities Company in New York, and asked Toby Moulton, the president of the branch, to write an invitation letter on behalf of the current owner of the Mellon family - Richard De King Meuron.

On the afternoon of March 3, the invitation was delivered to Richard King Mellon.

The Mellon family is based in Pennsylvania, where their family has risen.

Richard Kim Mellon was very surprised when he received the invitation letter from Xia Yu. He never thought that the second contact with the magical oriental boy he had only met at the festive banquet of Reagan's inauguration. , would even invite him directly to Xiangjiang!

This kind of behavior is very abrupt, but the content makes him just around the corner.

Not only that, the content of the invitation letter is also very sincere.

According to the president of New York Jiuding Securities Company, who personally sent the invitation letter, the content of the invitation letter was Xia Yu's original words, and he just acted as a ghostwriting machine.

However, he still has to think about it, after all, his health is already relatively poor, and the doctor has repeatedly advised him to travel as little as possible to avoid increasing the burden on his body.

That night, after dinner with his family, he stopped the three children who wanted to leave.

The third son Leonard, the fourth son Woodlow and the youngest daughter Sandy.

As for his eldest son, Skeff and his second son, Timothy, who are not at home, these two sons who are not interested in the family business, Richard King Mellon has no energy to cultivate them.

For the family, these two numbers have been abandoned, and the focus is on the third and fourth sons.

"Father, what are you going to teach us?"

Leonard, who was favored by Richard King Mellon, took the initiative to ask after he sat down.

"Today, I received an invitation letter that was completely unexpected to me, you all have a look."

After Richard King Mellon finished speaking, he handed the invitation to Leonard.

When Leonard read it, his brows were furrowed, and he handed the invitation letter to his brother Woodrow, and finally to Sandy.

When she saw the name of the person who signed the letter, Xian Di was stunned. She blinked and realized that she had read it correctly. She looked at the content of the invitation letter with curiosity.

"Dear Mr. Mellon, hello, I'm sorry I didn't visit you in person, but I can only invite you in this way. I sincerely invite you to come to my hometown of Xiangjiang. The east contains great wealth and opportunities, of course. , I most want to discuss some topics with you, such as the capital structure of the United States, and Canada... Xia Yu."

After reading this baffling ambiguity, a small question mark appeared on Sandy's head.

But she didn't have time to think about it.

Seeing that the three children had finished reading, Richard King Mellon sounded a kind voice: "Children, after reading this invitation, what do you think?"

ps: I’m sorry, it’s just an update today, it’s too late to work overtime, and then I have to expand the design of the plot, the plot of the mesh structure is shaped with the plot of the linear structure, the difficulty is indeed quite different, and the writing hurts the skull
