Listen to the other party say that they have affected the normal business order.
When these words fell into Su Yehao's ears, they seemed to have the slightest intention of raising an army to hold him accountable.
HP is a long-established giant in the personal computer industry. It just acquired its competitor Compaq in 2001 and firmly ranks as the second largest PC manufacturer in the world. Its annual revenue is second only to Dell, reaching tens of billions of dollars.
As early as the 1980s, HP entered the mainland market and had a competitive relationship with Huang Diamond Computer Company and was a rival.
Although they are competitors, if there is a chance to smile and make money, there is no need to quarrel.
The advantage of Huang Diamond Computer is clear at a glance. It relies on integrating components on the market and selling products at low prices. Its development path is actually somewhat similar to Dell's.
There seems to be nothing wrong with saying that it disrupts market order.
Rather than saying that Huang Diamond Computer affected the business order, it is better to say that the profit margin of personal computers was reduced by Su Yehao, which delayed their tacit understanding of working together to make money.
For example, a certain mainland computer manufacturer had a very impressive net profit margin before the emergence of Huang Diamond Computer.
After all, there is a lack of investment in research and development. It is just an assembly business like Huang Diamond Computer. The operating costs are mainly concentrated in the marketing and assembly links. Nowadays, facing the menacing Huang Diamond Computer, it is no longer possible to lie down and make money comfortably.
Actually.
Whether it was other computer companies in the mainland or his own Yellow Diamond Computer, Su Yehao felt that they were not very good.
The reason is that they only purchase and assemble, and do not involve the research and development of key components. This means that they can only continue to purchase energy from outside, which does not contribute much to the development of the local industrial chain.
To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of earning some hard-earned money. It is not much more advanced than processing toys or clothing. It is a low value-added business and cannot promote industrial upgrading. It is equivalent to imported goods that are assembled locally and only have a domestic label.
Calculating the proportion of imported parts in the total production cost, it may be as high as 80% or 90%.
Fortunately, more and more people are beginning to enter the Internet era, which has indirectly produced some relatively good impacts.
Huang Diamond Computer is also constantly trying to localize parts of the supply chain that can be replaced. As for the remaining key components, it can be acquired externally when the time is right. After all, the competitiveness in the international market is also quite high.
For example, Japan's DRAM memory chip giant Alpida was pushed over the cliff step by step by its Korean counterparts, and its losses were increasing.
They are like mantises stalking cicadas. Su Yehao, the oriole, has been watching patiently from the sidelines for three or four years.
When you have some extra money and the time is right, you may be able to try to bring back some good stuff from the Japanese semiconductor market.
As for starting research and development from scratch, the cost is a bit high.
What's more, even if it is actually developed, it is difficult to say whether peers will buy it. The lack of customers means that it cannot form scale. This is equivalent to chronic suicide in the semiconductor industry. Only with sufficient income can there be a chance to achieve a virtuous cycle, such as Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Microsoft.
Wait, it all develops like this.
Ordinary consumers are only exposed to terminal products, but Su Yehao is concerned about the source, which is the semiconductor industry with high added value.
At this moment, he said to an HP executive named Walter:
"Forget personal computers. Even without my Yellow Diamond computer, there will be other brands, just like Dell, which seized the market from HP. I wonder if you are interested in financial investment? As a
As one of the oldest technology companies in Silicon Valley, it really shouldn’t miss the current good opportunity. Others may not know it, but those of us who sell computers must know that the number of Internet users will continue to skyrocket. Many Internet companies are different from before and have found sustainable solutions.
Revenue model.”
Walter was interrupted by him and forgot what he wanted to say. He asked in confusion: "What do you mean, are you planning to raise funds from HP?"
"No, no, no, it's my SSSSS Asset Management Company, which can promise to give you six points of capital-guaranteed return, and the remaining part can earn higher returns. I remember there is a lot of money in the HP account, your major shareholder
They are all wealthy people, and this is a product only for large private equity clients.”
Like a successful person, Su Yehao was elegant and calm, and asked:
"Can HP's net profit reach six points? I think it shouldn't be possible. This is a product that I personally guarantee. It is 100% safe. If you have any ideas, maybe I can help your company allocate stocks of some Internet companies. This will be beneficial to HP."
The increase in stock price will be of great help."
Established listed companies often have a common problem, which is that as topics that can be hyped disappear, the price-to-earnings ratio gradually returns to a reasonable level, which in turn affects the interests of shareholders.
Therefore, without affecting the main business, many companies will try to innovate and throw out bright enough gimmicks to make investors think that their companies will be very promising.
In the stock market, making more money does not mean it is worth more.
Some old bank stocks with stable performance and considerable income may have a market value only several times their net profit. Hewlett-Packard is facing the same dilemma. It no longer has any presence in the market, even if it annexed Compaq Computer in 2001.
It didn't cause much turmoil, but the stock price fell a lot.
That's why Su Yehao emphasized that cooperation with him would help HP's stock price.
Now in the eyes of those people, Su Yehao is synonymous with "high technology", "speculator" and "super good at making money".
The New York Times even used an entire page to introduce in detail the jade God of Wealth in the photos Su Yehao posted, which then set off a craze for the God of Wealth in North America. The name was called "Money God", which can barely be regarded as a cultural export.
The birthplace of this craze is Wall Street, where there are countless elites. Many people place statues of the God of Wealth at their workstations and chant a few words of blessing from the God of Wealth with their eyes closed before the market opens every day.
Fortunately, it is already the relatively enlightened 21st century. If it were a few hundred years ago, Su Yehao might have been tied to a pillar and burned to ashes, or he might have been eliminated by devout knights.
I'm afraid it's because too many people are short of money. Anyway, the God of Wealth is particularly popular here and is regarded as a mysterious power from the East.
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Su Yehao's image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Walter knows that once he reaches a cooperation with him, the effect may be immediate, and the company's stock price will rise immediately. He is interested and asked:
"If you are free tomorrow, we can make an appointment to have a serious talk. So do you have any good projects on hand now?"
"This is a business secret, but I value your HP company very much. I can only say that I am personally willing to guarantee 6% of the capital-guaranteed income for the financial products provided to you, and the excess will be divided in proportion. The starting investment amount is one billion US dollars.
"
When Su Yehao said this, he admired himself.
In the blink of an eye, the relationship of hostility and competition turned into a potential ally with the opportunity to cooperate, earn some money for yourself, and strengthen your personal influence.
All I can say about this is that his specialty is too charming. What he is best at is making others rich, and his ability to make money properly. Who can handle this...
