A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
If Su Yehao hadn't wanted to give Microsoft a punch back, he might not have paid attention to Apple's latest trends in the short term.
Because this company has little sense of existence for the time being, it is just a maverick personal computer manufacturer.
Not to mention that it has not yet entered the mobile phone industry. According to the news displayed on the computer screen, it has just recently begun to try to enter the MP3 player market. It has received little attention. Since the stock price has plummeted in the past six months, it has been scolded by investors.
head.
If Microsoft hadn't been frantically seizing the market a few years ago, looking back and seeing that there were no competitors, I would have started to feel guilty, worried about being sued for antitrust, and then give Apple a sum of money to actively help it support itself. Maybe Apple would
It would have gone bankrupt long ago, or been sold by shareholders for more than a billion dollars.
For such a company that has been struggling for many years, its status in the minds of investors is even lower than that of Google, which has been increasing its market share.
At least Google is still moving forward and showing strong growth potential.
Apple, on the other hand, is at best a "competitor" deliberately left behind by Microsoft to avoid completely occupying the market share of computer operating systems and to make it sound a little better.
This part of the market occupied by Apple only accounts for about 3% of the total global operating system market share, and has not grown for several years. Therefore, Steve Jobs was recently forced into a dead end by shareholders, thinking about being quiet and moving.
Try to develop into the Walkman market.
I picked a project temporarily and quickly compiled the information about Apple, Microsoft and MSN into Su Yehao's hands.
After reading it, I realized that based on Apple’s current revenue data, even if its market value on the Nasdaq market is only over US$4 billion, it seems a bit exaggerated.
I still remember that in 1997, when Su Yehao first started to pay attention to Apple, its market value was only more than one billion US dollars. Even if it was completely privatized and delisted, it would not be difficult. Simply buying a computer operating system patent would be a waste of money.
The modification could be applied to smartphones, but unfortunately there was no money at the time.
If you want to invest now, the cost will be two or three times higher. However, considering that Apple has a large number of technology patents and talents, it is still a very cost-effective investment.
If we can have the right to speak, we can not only solve the problem of the lack of operating systems in the mainland, but also cooperate with Huang Diamond Computer to obtain some Apple technology patent authorizations.
Not only that, but at the same time, it can plan and lay out the smart phone market in advance. When the time comes, the orders from the wafer foundry will also be able to make a lot of money without leaving any outsiders.
Given the level of semiconductor R&D and manufacturing in the Mainland, Su Yehao is powerless in the short term. Even if he gives full support and does make some achievements, he will probably end up with comprehensive sanctions and suppression. It is better to earn money outside first and then work on it later.
Plan slowly.
After thinking it over quickly, Su Yehao personally contacted people from Goldman Sachs and offered them a generous commission to communicate with Apple shareholders on his behalf.
After all, he is already the sixth richest man in the world, and his every move is more likely to attract attention. If he contacts Apple in person, he will most likely be sold back, and other shareholders will use the good news as nourishment to help stabilize Apple's stock price.
Therefore, it is more cost-effective to negotiate through the help of people from investment banks, although you have to pay some commissions...
Jiang Yu knows the priorities. Compared with their Tianyu Entertainment, Su Yehao's business is undoubtedly much more important.
Stay in the hotel suite and get busy with the purchase of Apple stock.
She came up at this moment and asked in confusion: "Ah Hao, I checked the news about Apple for you. No matter the forum or the media, I think its stock price will fall. If you take action now, will you become a victim?"
Su Yehao was lying in a comfortable position. He pulled his legs back and let Jiang Yu sit down. Dan Ding smiled and said:
"It's just because it's still falling that it's more suitable to invest. After it really falls to a reasonable price, everyone knows that it has a chance to rebound, so how can I raise enough chips? Apple is different from Internet companies.
Differentiating AB shares, the right to speak is the same, which means that as long as I hold enough shares, I can have the right to speak in this company."
"I understand what you say, but if you want to have the right to speak...what's the use?"
Jiang Yu was puzzled.
In her opinion, Su Yehao decided to invest in Apple just because Apple also has an operating system and can fight against Microsoft.
It's just that this impact is negligible in her opinion.
If Apple's operating system could really have an impact on Microsoft, it would have already captured a lot of market share. It would be like now, struggling with a 3% market share.
Su Yehao knew some things, but couldn't explain them in detail, so he just gave it a try and said with a smile: "You will understand later that Apple is a good company, with R&D capabilities and patent reserves that are very valuable. If not
If people are willing to sell their shares to me, then I will also choose to finance it, but it is still unknown how many shares I can hold in this way.”
…
Let Goldman Sachs handle the acquisition.
There is a large amount of money in Su Yehao's account. He made it back from short selling in March and April last year. Until now, the basic income from buying short-term financial management has reached more than 200 million US dollars.
Triple short funds, stock index options and stock options require a small investment and a higher rate of return.
Thinking that there would be more places to use money in the future, he asked people to sell them for cash one after another. It was estimated that there would be a total of about 4.2 billion US dollars in the account by then.
The Nasdaq index has gone up and down over the past year, with more than half of its value falling.
Su Yehao has made a lot of money through his small efforts. For example, the fund that shorted the Nasdaq index three times has a return rate of more than 200%, which is equivalent to investing the capital and making more than twice as much in a year.
Many star companies in Silicon Valley have closed down, and about 40% of start-up companies have completely collapsed.
There are countless programmers who have been fired and changed jobs. Some Chinese graduates from prestigious schools even hope to return to the mainland for development. However, facing the prototype of the Internet ecosystem established by Su Yehao's investment, they have no chance, and in the end they can only work under him.
However, only a few people choose to go back. In the second half of last year, only a few dozen people were recruited. The average salary of TAT and TOT is only 120,000 yuan, which is not attractive enough.
On the other hand, companies such as Yanmoji Group and Google have recruited a group of technical talents who are willing to accept low wages. They are more serious about their work and the group of people who are always thinking about changing jobs have almost disappeared.
Big companies are better because they are safe. The environment in Silicon Valley is so bad that even if a start-up company is willing to offer high salary, not many people dare to jump in, lest the company goes bankrupt and liquidates before they can adapt to the new job.
It may not be the best bargain hunting opportunity right now, but when doing business, you can't just look at price, timing is also important.
