Chapter 524: Ahri acquires Sadness, making a huge gamble with soft money!
At the beginning of a new week, the tragic tragedy continues, and the stock price continues to plummet.
It keeps falling all the way.
In this case, the "way out" of the sad video is particularly attracting attention.
It is reported that the main investor of Beishi has gone to the beautiful country to discuss countermeasures with Zhen Yaoting face to face. Of course, it may also be to force Zhen Yaoting and ask Zhen Yaoting to agree to sell the Besee video.
………
At the same time, Ahri headquarters.
"Boss, there are various signs that Qinghe Group has been collaborating with Tenda recently. The two companies seem to be interested in joining forces to acquire Besi Video," Ren Xiaoyao reported.
"What's Tengda's opinion?" the uncle asked.
"No rejection, no reply."
Ren Xiaoyao's expression was not relaxed, because this meant that Tengda was actually moved.
Just still hesitating.
"Hmph!" The uncle also looked slightly unhappy and said teasingly: "Tengda is becoming more and more ineffective. Qinghe Group is ready to bite the hook at the slightest temptation."
The implication is that Tenda has lost its status as the Big Three.
But among the three giants today, except for Ahri who is still strong, both Tengda and Qiandu have long lost the strength to compete with Qinghe Group, and have long lost their former glory.
Where are the cards?
"However, even if Qinghe Group and Tengda join forces, it won't actually matter."
Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao quickly comforted him and said: "In the final analysis, the acquisition of Beishi Video is still about the respective quotations, and it has nothing to do with whether Lianhe joins forces or not."
"you're right."
The uncle smiled and nodded, "But this time, I want to play a big game."
"oh?"
Ren Xiaoyao smelled a hint of danger in the uncle's eyes.
"I want to change the approach. Instead of acquiring the Sadish Video separately, I want to package the entire Sadish Group. What do you think?" The uncle's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Buy the whole Despair?"
Ren Xiaoyao took a breath of cold air and was impressed by the uncle's "generous gesture". He subconsciously said: "Although the stock price of Beiwang has been falling, if we want to package and acquire it, we must prepare at least 60 billion or more funds."
He has been in contact with Zhen Yaoting and knows that Zhen Yaoting is by no means an easy boss to dismiss.
So smart!
“Quotation is not an issue.”
The uncle was very bold and explained: "I have carefully studied Besi. In fact, Besi's business model is very good, from long videos to smart TVs, and then to mobile phones and new energy vehicles."
"They are all industries with great development prospects. If operated properly, they can reach a market value of one trillion yuan."
"It's a pity that the financial strength of Beishi is not enough to match Zhen Yaoting's overly ambitious ambitions. In addition, Zhen Yaoting is too radical, which led to Beishi's defeat today."
The uncle looked at the question very profoundly and hit the nail on the head.
"If we can fully take over Besi and inject capital into Besi, we can not only win the battle in the long video field, but also take a solid step forward in the diversification strategy."
Seeing Mo Yao prospering in the fields of mobile phones, new energy vehicles, etc., especially making a lot of money in the mobile phone industry, it is impossible for me not to be envious and jealous.
And now.
Ahri actually already has an opportunity, let alone catching up, at least catching up with the sprout.
"this…"
Ren Xiaoyao was a little excited by the teasing, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.
"Not to mention the huge amount of funds required to acquire Besi. In order to revitalize the ecological chain of Besi in the future, the funds that need to be invested will definitely not be a small amount."
Ren Xiaoyao's first consideration is still the issue of funds.
Although Ahri is considered to be doing well among the Big Three, he is not so wealthy that he can spend hundreds of billions of dollars casually.
One bad operation may plunge Ari into a quagmire of debt.
The most important thing is that unlike the original time and space, Ali is no longer the dominant player in the e-commerce field. Facing a strong competitor like Pinxixi, Ali may not be able to win even with all its strength.
If you are suddenly distracted at this time, the consequences are really unpredictable.
"It can't be broken or established!"
The uncle was ambitious, "As for the issue of funds, Ahri headquarters does not have any, but the Black Ant Group has a large reserve of working capital. Have you forgotten?"
"Boss, what do you mean?"
Ren Xiaoyao was horrified, and finally realized what the uncle was planning.
To put it bluntly, it is to follow the previous barbarian invasion method of Baoqi against Wangke and divert funds that should be strictly supervised for other purposes.
This is tantamount to a crazy temptation on the verge of death.
"I think it's okay." The uncle himself was very calm. "The Black Ant Group can participate in the acquisition of Sadness. There will be no flaws in the procedure."
The latter is the base camp that the uncle has prepared for himself.
"Think about it, if this thing is done, the benefits will be unimaginable."
The uncle's voice is full of temptation.
"Then, let's try it?"
For some reason, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry.
"certainly!"
The uncle nodded slightly, as if everything was under control.
"By the way, boss, do you want to invite Ruanjin to participate in this acquisition of Sadness?" Ren Xiaoyao still instinctively felt a little uneasy and wanted to involve Ruanjin in the deal.
In that case, it seems safer.
"Soft Finance is also currently engaged in a super merger and acquisition. It is still raising funds from various sources. It is afraid that it will not be able to participate in the acquisition of Beishi."
The uncle knows this old friend very well.
"But it's really unlucky." Ren Xiaoyao felt very sorry.
………
Friday, July 15th.
Just when Besi was in a quagmire and seemed to have no hope, Ahri teamed up with Black Ant Group and suddenly launched a takeover bid for Besi, with a price of 65 billion.
Ahri's movements were not unpleasant.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although this quotation cannot be compared with the market value of 150 billion at the peak of Bespicion, you must know that after experiencing multiple rounds of stock price declines, Bespicion's current market value
It has fallen below 50 billion.
Ahri's quotation is already at a premium of more than 45%, which is considered very sincere.
When the news came out, Beishi's stock price experienced a strong rise that day, and by the close of trading, it went up to the daily limit.
the next day.
Zhen Yaoting returned to China from the beautiful country and appeared at the negotiation table with Ali.
Things took a turn for the worse.
………
Monday, July 18th.
In the office, Zhang Shuo was quickly browsing the work briefing.
Last Friday, in addition to Ahri announcing that it would acquire Beishi, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment actually also made big moves. Following the release of its new mobile game "Song of Clouds on the City" last month, it also announced the first closed beta test of its new 3A masterpiece "Three Kingdoms"
.
Once again causing a sensation in the industry!
The first AAA title "Black Myth" by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has been launched into public beta. Not surprisingly, it has triggered a buying boom all over the world.
So far, the sales volume of "Black Myth" has exceeded 20 million.
The Chinese market alone is as high as 10 million.
This shows how enthusiastic Chinese players are about "Black Myth".
There is no doubt about true love.
According to this sales trend, with the support of Bluebird Interactive Entertainment’s golden brand, “Black Myth” is even expected to challenge the sales record of “The Witcher 3” of 45 million.
It's definitely a huge profit.
But no one thought that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's ambitions would not stop there. Not long after the success of "Black Myth", it launched another AAA masterpiece.
Moreover, it has a strong Chinese style. How to prevent Chinese players from going crazy?
"Waka, waka, waka!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuah, happiness comes so suddenly, I feel numb!!!"
“The blue bird understands us, it’s so awesome!!!”
"Domestic 3A games, this time, are really going to rise completely."
If the success of "Black Myth" alone may not be enough to make Chinese players so crazy, the launch of "Three Kingdoms" proves that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is indeed not a failure.
You don’t need to have strong financial strength, and you have fully mastered the production technology of 3A masterpieces.
It is not inferior to any major overseas manufacturer.
This means that "Three Kingdoms" is by no means the end of Bluebird Interactive Entertainment's 3A road. Not to mention, the "Three-Body" production plan previously announced by Bluebird Interactive Entertainment is worth looking forward to.
Everyone knows how popular the IP of "The Three-Body Problem" is.
"Thank you to Jade Bird Entertainment. Don't say anything else. From now on, I will be a big fan of Jade Bird!"
“Brainless fan 1!”
"Being able to play "Black Myth" and "Three Kingdoms", I will have no regrets in this life!!!"
"The light of the national tide must be the light of the national tide!!!"
At this moment, the significance of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in the eyes of Chinese players seems to have been sublimated.
In addition to Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, other projects such as the Smart Island project, the Pinxi Xijiangxia Cargo Airport project, the Weijing Semiconductor 14nm wafer foundry reconstruction and expansion project, and the Zhongwucheng Mango Super Factory project are also progressing smoothly.
Of course, it also includes the progress of Xinghai Group’s investment in Vale.
Especially after the president of the Americas region of Germination was in place, and with the assistance of Germination (New York) Co., Ltd., the resistance to the acquisition was eliminated one by one.
Related public relations work also went smoothly.
Facts have proven that at the end of last year, Zhang Shuo's proposal to reorganize the overseas business department and establish three overseas regional companies was very wise and correct.
It has provided a lot of help for the development and mergers and acquisitions of sprouts in overseas markets.
It is also accelerating the budding internationalization process.
………
After browsing the work briefing, Zhang Shuo scanned the global news again.
In the past week, the various struggles surrounding tragedy were naturally the most lively events on the Chinese Internet, but on a global scale, they were not the most sensational.
The most sensational thing is——
Soft Gold Group successfully acquired Arm for US$32 billion.
There is no doubt that this will be another super merger and acquisition in the semiconductor industry, and will also be one of the most representative investment cases of SoftGold Group.
Going back further, it may be Soft Finance Group’s investment in Ahri.
In response to this acquisition, the founder of SoftGold Group expressed confidence that he is ready to welcome the advent of the singularity, claiming that the intelligence of artificial intelligence will surpass that of humans in the near future.
In order to raise funds for the acquisition of ARM, Soft Finance did not hesitate to sell off a number of high-quality assets including Ali at that time, and even borrowed heavily.
This extremely generous acquisition was also called a "deadly gamble" by the outside world.
Over the past thirty years, ARM has been the industry leader in developing chip architectures. Although it does not directly design and produce chips, the instruction set architecture it provides is the basis for chip design by companies such as Pingguo and Gaotong, and it has almost monopolized the smart phone market.
Mobile phone microprocessor technology.
Last year, ARM was ranked as one of the five most innovative companies in the world by FubuFi magazine.
Therefore, SoftBank Group believes that with this super acquisition, ARM will make SoftBank the next technology market with huge potential, that is, the leader in the Internet of Things.
There is a hint of path dependence here.
Soft Finance previously enjoyed the rapid explosion of e-commerce dividends by investing in Ali and made a lot of money. Now it has turned its attention to the concept of "Internet of Things".
Obviously he also wants to replicate Ahri's success.
It's a pity that Soft Money won the bet once by chance, but it is unlikely to win the second time.
Compared with the e-commerce industry, the implementation of the concept of the Internet of Things is much slower than expected.
As for future traffic, SoftGold Group has been going downhill and has continued to lose money, which has led to its own financial constraints. The Internet of Things has still not been implemented into reality.
Arm, in the end, could not escape the fate of being sold by soft money.
As a company with more than 90% market share in the field of smartphone chips, ARM's appeal cannot be underestimated.
Yingweida once issued a statement stating that it would spend nearly US$40 billion to acquire ARM.
Unfortunately, the threat posed by the two giants joining forces to the industry and other technology giants has made this the largest acquisition in the history of semiconductors, and almost no one except the parties to the transaction is in favor.
Ultimately it was not approved.
If the sale fails, Soft Money can only choose to promote ARM to be listed independently to achieve unwinding, but its road to listing is still full of twists and turns.
Until Zhang Shuo was reborn, ARM had not been able to successfully go public.
The bigger question is, even if ARM is successfully listed, how much pressure can it reduce on soft funds?
From the perspective of the overall environment, the valuation of the global semiconductor industry has fallen sharply in the past 21 years. Even if ARM goes public, soft gold may face the risk of falling valuations.
This does not include the cost of capital usage over the past six years.
On the other hand, ARM also faces the risk of customer loss.
Because in the next few years, giants such as Gaotong and Pingguo are gradually getting rid of their over-reliance on ARM architecture, and it seems to have become a consensus among major manufacturers.
In contrast, RISC-V is a viable path.
Specific to the Chinese market, Zhulong Technology, for example, is already trying to implement the RISC-V path to completely get rid of its dependence on the ARM architecture and find a new path.
This is why.
Zhang Shuo, who has been keen on overseas mergers and acquisitions in the past two years, has always turned a blind eye to Arm.
Because it’s completely unnecessary!
It is foreseeable that this acquisition of ARM is destined to become another Waterloo for soft money.
………
After browsing the news, Zhang Shuo came to the conference room next door.
As soon as he sat down, he looked at Senior Vice President Lu Qi and asked: "Where did Ahli get so much money, and he even boasted that he would completely privatize Haikou?"
There is no doubt that Ah Li's action also caught Zhang Shuo off guard.
I was still thinking about it.
We need to join forces with Tenda to put on a good show in the acquisition of Beishi Video.
No idea.
Ahri didn't play according to the routine at all, and came up with a trick of "packing and taking away".
Under such circumstances, Qinghe Group and Tenda's plan to acquire Sadish Video almost failed, as can be seen from Zhen Yaoting's emergency return to China.
This is also a rare setback that Germination has encountered in recent years.
"I've made inquiries and found out that Ahri itself does not have such a large amount of funds, and there is no sign of cooperation with banks or investment institutions. The only variable is probably the Black Ant Group."
Lu Qi was confused.
But fortunately, he remained calm and completed the investigation of Ahri's situation as quickly as possible.
"Black Ant Group?"
Zhang Shuo frowned slightly, and then he was horrified, and subconsciously looked at Lu Kai, "Could it be that Ahri is planning to use the user's wealth deposit funds?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Lu Kai had obviously thought of this as well, and said quietly: "Ali's move is really crazy."
