Chapter 466: An ally stabs in the back, Tengda is hit hard again, and the second master fights with his last resort!
The operation of capital always likes to be carried out quietly in private.
Therefore, although Zhang Shuo asked Lu Kai to reveal the news to the Thieves Group, and at the same time asked Chen Lu to cause a stir in the China Venture Capital circle, the outside world was actually unaware of this.
Everything works in secret and quietly.
It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is true that Tenda is in decline, but for major investment institutions, today's Tenda is still a piece of super fat meat.
No one company can swallow it alone. In a sense, it even requires the cooperation of all companies.
Only then can we eat this big cake together.
Yes, although the South Philippine newspaper industry is eager to jump ship, in the eyes of risk-taking investment institutions, Tengda at this time is still a big cake full of unknown surprises.
If Tenda succeeds in its transformation in the entertainment field in the future, wouldn't it be a bet?
Even if it is not very successful, as long as these investment institutions get admission tickets, there will always be opportunities to tell various stories in the capital market in the future and help Tenda's stock price recover.
Therefore, predators like the Thieves Group are very enthusiastic about taking over the Tengda shares from Nanfei Newspapers. The President of the Greater China Region of the Thieves Group is personally responsible for contacting them.
The beautiful country headquarters will also arrange for people to follow up in real time.
In China, investment institutions such as Scarlet Capital and Tiger King Fund, which had already cooperated with Tenda, were like chicken blood. They were dismissed one after another under the call of Fenglei Fund.
Everyone is gearing up to share a delicious feast.
The enthusiasm of various investment institutions also gave Luffy, who had been frustrated by Zhang Shuo, great confidence, and he confidently threw himself into the rounds of contacts.
The Nanfei Newspaper Headquarters also quietly arranged for people to come to Xiangjiang to take charge.
………
And before we knew it, time quickly came to August.
Entering August, with the beginning of the second half, the smartphone industry is gradually becoming more and more popular, and major mobile phone manufacturers are beginning to prepare for new product launches.
The more impatient ones are like Xiaomi, who even held a new product launch conference last month.
He probably also deliberately avoided the battle of the gods in early September.
The flagship mobile phone launched by Xiaomi this year is Xiaomi 4, which uses the Snapdragon 801 processor and has a stainless steel metal frame. The standard version is still priced at the classic 1,999 yuan.
The price of the high-end version has soared to 2,499 yuan.
To be honest, although the design of Xiaomi 4 is suspected of plagiarizing Pingguo 4, it is still the only successful product in this series. It is even called the most successful model in the Xiaomi series.
But plagiarism is plagiarism.
No, at the beginning of August, Pingguo's design director Qiao Bisen criticized Xiaomi's plagiarism more than once in public, bluntly calling it "theft."
This even triggered a "war of words" between Pingguo and Xiao Milai.
To be accused of plagiarism by Pingguo, for Xiaomi, it is only scratching the surface at best. The real threat to Xiaomi's survival is Longyao, a sub-brand separated by Warwick last year.
Warwick's positioning of Longyao is very clear, that is, it is targeting the mid- to low-end global smartphone market.
The price of the Longyao Changwan version has even been as low as less than a thousand yuan, making it a truly "low-end" model. The benchmark is Xiaomi's RedMi series launched last year.
The mid-range Longyao series is completely comparable to Xiaomi, and even the price is exactly the same.
Warwick's hand-to-hand fighting method undoubtedly aroused Xiaomi's dissatisfaction. On more than one occasion, Rebus expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the "vicious competition" provoked by Warwick.
"If your own people are doing this, is there any bottom line?" Rebus's words were very harsh.
The two sides were close to starting a direct war of words.
This also made the relationship between the two companies once at odds.
In addition to the Honor series, Warwick's Mate series is aimed at the high-end market, especially the Mate 7, which will be launched this year, and is generally regarded as Warwick's ambition.
In order to please overseas consumers, Warwick even chose Prussia for its press conference.
The price is also above 4,000.
It can be said that Huawei's mate series will be the second high-end model launched by China after the Maili mobile phone, carrying Huawei's high-end ambition.
As for whether it can gain market recognition, it remains to be tested by time.
Zhang Shuo and Mr. Ren have also talked privately that the Huawei Mate series is actually aimed at the Samsung S series, and for the time being it cannot pose any direct threat to Pingguo and Maili.
It’s no wonder that Samsung is particularly nervous this year.
Last year, we only had to face challenges from the Maili family, but now we have to face challenges from Chinese mobile phone manufacturers in all fields, including high, middle and low.
It can even be said to be an encirclement and suppression.
Although Samsung mobile phones will not withdraw from the stage of history, they will definitely not be as profitable as before.
Especially in this generation, the emergence of Maili mobile phone has not only caused a huge adjustment for Samsung in the high-end mobile phone market, but also completed the high-level integration of China's smartphone industry chain ahead of schedule.
This has a huge role in promoting the explosion of domestic mobile phones such as Xiaomi and Huawei.
The most typical example.
It was Maili Group that shared its fingerprint unlocking technology with its domestic counterparts, allowing Xiaomi 3 to achieve fingerprint unlocking. However, even Xiaomi 4 failed to achieve a breakthrough in this technology.
The early outbreak of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers is undoubtedly bad news for Samsung.
………
The vision is drawn back to China.
In addition to Xiaomi and Huawei competing with each other, the development of OV is gradually on the right track. The concept of focusing on photography has basically taken shape and is gradually emerging in the mid-range market.
In addition, there are also major mobile phone brands such as Meiyuan, Qiku, etc., which have also revealed their useful information.
It can be said.
Starting from this year, Chinese mobile phone brands have truly entered a great era of blooming flowers.
As the industry leader, Maili Group has of course made new moves. Just entering August, it announced that old models such as Maili X1 and Maili X2 can be fully switched to the Xiliang operating system with one click.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After more than half a year of internal testing, all mainstream apps in China have now been connected to the Xinang system.
It means that the Xirang operating system has officially entered the field of installation from the testing stage.
This not only proves that Xirang Technology, including Maili Group, is extremely confident in the Xirang operating system, but also warms up for the release of Maili X3 in September.
You should know that MaiLi X1 and MaiLi X2 are just recommended to switch to the Xinlang operating system.
The Maili X3 is forced to be equipped with the Xinxiang system.
But what exactly is the Xiliang operating system and whether it can be a good replacement for the original Android system? Even if it has the blessing of a budding halo, to be honest, consumers are still skeptical.
Because Nokia, Weisoft, and Samsung have successively failed in the field of mobile operating systems, in a sense, they have actually mythologized mobile operating systems.
But little does he know.
The research and development of the mobile operating system itself is not difficult. What is really difficult is integrating the ecological chain.
But rather.
Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have unique advantages in this area.
Especially in China’s domestic market, apps from Moya, Tenda, Ali, Qiandu and others that users are accustomed to have a weak presence overseas.
This means that as long as domestic Internet companies are willing to cooperate, the ecological structure will basically be completed.
In order to dispel the doubts in the minds of consumers, it is necessary to take the lead in launching the Xinluo system one month before the release of Maili X3, so that Maili users can actually experience it for a month.
Only after personal experience will you naturally have a clear answer to the above questions.
It can also be regarded as clearing the last obstacle for the launch of Maili X3.
In addition to the launch of the Xirang system, in early August, there was also news related to Maili X3——
Tate Semiconductor, jointly invested and established by Taimei Electric, Daosui Group, Jianye Urban Investment and others, has officially achieved mass production at its Jianye 20-nanometer wafer foundry.
The factory's main order comes from Zhulong Technology, which OEMs the new generation of Zhulong Z2 chips.
It will also be the main chip of Maili X3.
There is no doubt that with the successful mass production of the Zhulong Z2 chip, the mass production of the Maili X3 is already on track. Spot sales can be arranged after the launch in September.
It can be said to be one link after another.
In the past two months, four wafer foundries have been completed and put into operation in mainland China, namely the 40-nanometer wafer foundry and the 28-nanometer wafer foundry owned by Weijing Semiconductor, the 28-nanometer wafer foundry led by Tai Electromechanical and the
20nm wafer foundry.
It also proves from one aspect that inland China is becoming a new central base for global wafer foundry.
Created a miracle that is not too big or too small!
At this point, Zhang Shuo's overall layout of the smartphone industry has been basically successful.
leftover.
It means moving from one success to an even more brilliant success.
………
Tenda Building.
After the time entered August, Tengda gradually felt something was wrong.
"Boss, I noticed that recently, Luffy and Mr. Lu have been meeting frequently with the heads of venture capital circles such as the Thieves Group and Fenglei Fund. This is very unusual."
Lu Jian immediately reported to the second master.
"In addition, I also received news that last month, after Mr. Lu attended the group's board of directors, he went to the Germination Industrial Park to meet with Zhang Shuo."
"Do you know what they were talking about?"
The second master also instinctively felt a little uneasy. Things have been really bad recently.
"I don't know exactly what we talked about."
Lu Jian didn't have such magical powers. He frowned and said, "There are various signs that Nanfei News seems to want to make some moves. There is a high probability that it is related to the reduction of the group's shares."
As Tenda's largest shareholder, Nanfei Newspapers suffered the biggest loss when Tenda's share price fell.
It's normal to be anxious.
Although when Nanfe News invested in Tengda, it vowed that it would hold Tengda shares for a long time and would not make any reduction in its holdings in the next ten years.
But this time, that time.
Didn't Nanfei Newspapers couldn't hold back last year and reduced its holdings of 2.5% of Tengda shares in one fell swoop?!
"Let's just wait and see what happens!"
The matter has not yet been revealed. Faced with such a major shareholder of Nanfei Newspaper, the second master is helpless. He has no countermeasures and he cannot interfere with Nanfei Newspaper.
What's more, the second master also needs the full support of the South Philippine Newspaper Industry on the board of directors.
But obviously.
The South Philippine newspaper industry has suddenly become so active, which is definitely not a good sign.
Then.
The next day, some self-media suddenly broke the shocking news.
"Shocked! Tenda's largest shareholder, Nanfei Newspaper, is in contact with investment institutions such as Pirates of Saints Group, Fenglei Fund, etc., and seems to be interested in selling out its shares in Tenda!
"
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
"Hey, be good, the South African newspaper industry is going to run away."
"Obviously I want to be safe!
"
"It seems that the big ship Tengda is really failing, and even the largest shareholder will jump off the ship."
"Are the investors who wanted to buy Tengda at the bottom crying now?"
"What the hell, I fainted in the toilet from crying..."
After the news broke, the most direct result was that Tengda's stock price, which had already returned to stability, once again found investors selling in panic, and then ushered in a new round of plunge.
A group of stock investors who were deceived into buying the bottom lost their pants.
so--
The stock market is risky, so be cautious when entering the industry!
………
"Boss, what the newspaper industry in South Africa has done is too great, isn't it? They didn't even discuss such a big matter with us in advance, which makes us so passive now."
It was just a guess before, but once it was confirmed, Lu Jian was still relieved and did not vomit blood. In anger, he finally couldn't hold it back and complained to the second master in person.
"What did the Nanfei newspaper say?" asked the second master.
"I personally called Director Lu, but the other person only replied - the information is untrue."
Lu Jian was almost depressed.
"..."
The second master was also slightly startled. Nanfei Newspaper was not even ready to pretend.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This shows how strong the determination is.
"Nanfei Newspaper Industry, it's better to quit."
The second master quickly returned to his usual calmness, which was something he had expected.
If Nanfei Newspapers really wants to clear out all its shares in Tengda, if nothing else happens, Erye himself will become Tengda's largest shareholder in one fell swoop and have the most voting rights on the board of directors.
Of course, Tenda's shareholding structure will also become more dispersed.
"But the current stock price, finally stable, is about to fall again." Lu Jian's head almost exploded at the thought of the heavy pressure he was about to face from the board of directors.
"If you don't destroy it, you won't establish it. It's going to happen after all."
The second master is very open-minded, but he is not trying to break the pot. "We ourselves have to have confidence in Tengda's future. After the temporary stock price decline hits the bottom, it will inevitably usher in a new bottom rebound."
Otherwise, investment institutions such as Thieves Group and Scarlet Capital would not be flocking to the Tengda shares held by Nanfei Newspaper.
These investment institutions are obviously calmer and more composed than ordinary investors.
The second master even doubted it.
The so-called self-media revelations are most likely a play written and directed by these investment institutions. The purpose is not difficult to guess, which is to take the opportunity to lower Tengda's stock price.
In this way, we can obtain better bargaining chips in the follow-up negotiations with Nanfei Newspapers and win the Tengda shares from Nanfei Newspapers at a lower cost.
These investment institutions are usually very calculating.
"This is actually a good time for us to carry out equity repurchases." Guessing the little thinking of the investment institutions, the second master quickly came up with a countermeasure.
Once Tenda carries out equity repurchase and cancellation, it will increase the shareholding ratio of each shareholder in disguise, and Erye, as the largest shareholder, will obviously become the biggest beneficiary.
Of course I agree.
"Large-scale equity repurchase, capital arrangements..."
Lu Jian is still a little worried, as Tengda's accounts are not currently rich.
"Arnold Group, Didak's shares are transferred to Ahli, and the money from Ahri should be paid by now, right?" The second master has already made the plans.
"That's doable."
Lu Jian's eyes also lit up.
In order to complete its layout in the local life service track as soon as possible, Ali was very generous this time, acquiring all of Tenda's equity in the two companies at a total price of 10.5 billion.
It's equivalent to saying.
Although Tenda quietly withdrew from the local life service industry, it actually did not suffer much loss.
On the books, it can only be considered a small loss at best.
With Tenda’s target total market capitalization of less than 300 billion, if 10 billion of funds are used for equity repurchases, it can still do a lot of things, at least 3% of the equity can be repurchased.
It will also help stabilize Tengda's current stock price and prevent it from crashing too much.
From the second master's point of view, of course, I don't want investment institutions like the Thieves Group to acquire the Tengda equity from Nanfei Newspaper at too low a cost.
if not.
Based on the behavior of these investment institutions, once Tengda's stock price rebounds, it may encounter selling by these investment institutions at any time, thereby arbitraging and leaving the market.
If that's the case, wouldn't Tengda's stock price be on another roller coaster ride in the future?
Whether it rises or falls depends entirely on the mood of investors.
Of course, the second master is not allowed to say that if you are so manipulated by these investment institutions, what kind of prestige can you say?!
