Chapter 509 Cedar Manor

"We can increase investment in science and technology, so there is no need to overthrow the original framework, right?"

"Stupid, the current system has been completely rigid. Without breaking the original framework and introducing fresh air, no matter how much investment in science and technology is added, it will be useless. In the end, it will become a Florida beach vacation and a party in a French restaurant, but there will be no eye-catching things."

Technological innovation.”

"Sorry, I have no right to do this."

"Eh..."

Trode, the executive director, let out a long sigh of disappointment and said, "Everyone can see the shortcomings of Motorola, but no one wants to change, and no one has the courage to change. Instead, they just watch it sink. Forget it.

, I have spent the golden years of my life with Motorola, and I can only hope for a miracle to happen, otherwise I will only die along with it."

Looking at Trode's pale hair, Christo Galvin opened his mouth to persuade him. Seeing that the old man turned his face away from him in disappointment, he could only sneer and say, "Trod, believe me, I will always be the best."

There is a way."

"snort……"

The room fell into silence, mixed with emotions of dissatisfaction and despair. This feeling of not being able to see the future made people crazy, especially the bosses who had experienced the glory of Motorola, and they could not accept this cruel reality.

"If we can't run fast ourselves, can we make our competitors run slower?"

"You mean..."

"Yes, the companies under the Royal Family Fund that are gaining momentum are Motorola's main competitors. Can we create some legal trouble for King BOSS, or through US government departments, such as the Department of Commerce, the National Security Council or the Department of Defense...

…”

This suggestion put forward by Mike Zafirovsky swept away the dull atmosphere in the room, and everyone was talking about it;

"This is quite difficult. Commander George has a very close relationship with King BOSS, and this government is not keen on intervening in normal market competition. In March this year, it just launched the war on terrorism in Iraq, and the world is chasing and killing terrorists.

I'm afraid the charges won't work."

“What about antitrust lawsuits?”

"The Royal Family Fund can summon a dream-level team of lawyers as soon as possible. They have enough time, enough strength, and enough money to litigate the case. Without conclusive evidence, the chance of winning is very slim, but it will anger the other party."

"If lawsuits are launched simultaneously in dozens of states across the United States, it will have three heads and six arms and will be choked to death. At least it will be caught off guard."

"Forget it, they are not short of money."

"King BOSS has weaved a deep network of interests, including Goldman Sachs, Blackstone Fund, Sequoia Fund and numerous pension funds on Wall Street. In the public opinion circles, there are News Corporation of the World and Time Warner, and he is also a board member of many large American companies.

He has deep ties with both parties in Congress and it will not be easy to move him."

"What should we do?"

"Neither Intel nor Microsoft has jumped out. Motorola is not suitable to be on the front line. Guys, don't forget that Royal Fund has strong counterattack capabilities, from CPUs to application chips, from LCD panels to Android systems.

, from optical fiber cables to semiconductor spare parts, we cannot work without close cooperation with the Wang consortium companies, and the losses from direct hostility are too great."

"Then...are we going to let it develop and grow to the point where it threatens us?"

"Of course not, but it can be done more cleverly."

"It makes sense. We know that many people in the Cleveland consortium and the Rockefeller family who invested in Samsung are dissatisfied with it, as well as Intel, IBM and Microsoft, which are the injured parties. Behind them are at least 15 senators.

If we can properly leverage these forces to form a rope, I think it might cause big trouble to the BOSS King."

The office fell into silence, as several big bosses racked their brains to think of ways to prepare a fund for the Yin Royal Family.

Atop a towering mountain is the magnificent Leopold Manor, also known as the "Cedar" Manor, covering an area of ​​2.5 square kilometers and overlooking the entire beautiful Vieira Coast.

Cedar Manor occupies a very large area and is a typical French palace garden building complex.

Including an 8-hectare garden and 14-hectare lawn, the manor has more than 15,000 different plants and 20 greenhouses, and now employs 12 Chinese gardeners to take care of it.

The entire manor has more than 50 bedrooms and various thoughtful facilities, including a chapel and various ball sports stadiums and professional dance halls. It also has an Olympic-standard 50-meter swimming pool, a large stable that can raise 30 horses at the same time, and ancillary facilities.

There are many sculptures from 170 years ago, and tall cedar forests stand on the top of the mountain, surrounding the entire palace complex.

The time is already August 2003, which is the peak of summer.

Wang Yaocheng's whole family is vacationing on the French seaside, including his parents, his eldest brother and his wife, his wife and children, a total of 23 people, a really big family.

The SARS epidemic in China has just passed, and the family members have been very depressed during this period, as well as the children studying in China, who took advantage of the summer vacation to come to Europe to have fun.

In order for the children to learn Chinese well, they all went to school in Huaizhou, China, before graduating from elementary school.

The long summer is a good time for family reunion and vacation.

Wang Yaocheng was wearing a Mediterranean-style floral shirt, standing in the dome colonnade on the third floor, letting the cool sea breeze blow on his body, feeling very comfortable.

In the swimming pool downstairs, among the trees, and on the lawn in the distance, adults and children are playing, swimming, riding horses, or bowling. They can almost all find their own fun.

Zhao Feng, director of the Secretariat, also dressed in cool casual attire, walked up with a stack of documents in his hand, reporting on recent international financial trends and internal corporate matters of the consortium.

"Come, sit down and talk, just in time to taste the fresh iced mango juice."

"Thank you, Chairman."

Zhao Feng didn't need to be polite. He sat down on the white wicker chair next to him, took a sip of the mango juice and couldn't help but admired it, "It tastes really good. It tastes better than the mango juice I have at home."

“Because it’s free, it tastes sweeter.”

"Haha, then I want to drink more."

Zhao Feng took another sip, put down the cup with satisfaction, picked up the information in his hand and began to report;

Consortium

Carrefour Supermarket, Green Group, and TSMC have successively gone public or issued additional shares, raising large amounts of funds for the next step of corporate expansion. Related companies have formulated ambitious expansion plans.

Carrefour Supermarket plans to use 68 billion yuan in raised funds to acquire 12 retail brands led by Watsons under Hutchison Whampoa, with a total of 7,100 retail stores in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and Europe.

This major acquisition accounted for 80.9% of the 84 billion yuan in raised funds. The remaining funds were used to renovate stores, re-establish global retail sales channels and supplement corporate liquidity.

It is expected that after the merger is completed, Carrefour Group's annual revenue will expand by 112%, reaching a scale of HK$255 billion, approximately US$33 billion, ranking 13th among global retail companies, and rapidly growing into a multinational retail company.

Thanks to the advanced retail concepts and higher profit margins of 12 retail brands led by Watsons, Carrefour Supermarket Group's profitability can increase by more than 30%, becoming a new profit growth point.

After the news of the merger was confirmed, the stock price of Carrefour Group, which was listed on both the domestic and Hong Kong stock exchanges, continued to rise, with its market value exceeding the HK$300 billion mark, making it the leader of red chips.

Greene Group plans to use raised funds to acquire Symbol Technology, an American barcode and scanner manufacturer, which is expected to cost US$4 billion. This is led by Goldman Sachs and has defeated fierce competition from industry giants such as IBM, Motorola, and NCR.

Green Group will offer $16 per Symbol stock, a 22% increase from the company's closing price on Monday.

Symbol Technology mainly produces various handheld devices for supermarkets and warehouse management industries, such as barcode scanners, RFID tags and equipment. It holds 80% of the international market share in this field and has a large number of unique patents.

In 2002, sales were US$1.65 billion and profit was US$65 million.

It is expected that the acquisition will bring sustained and stable income to Gree Group. With the standardization and continuous development of the world's retail, warehousing and logistics industries, market participants are optimistic about the prospects of this acquisition.

at the same time

Gree Group has made frequent attacks in Europe, and has been in close discussions with the board of directors of KUKA Robot Co., Ltd. in Augsburg, Germany, and is preparing to invest in the acquisition.

Germany's KUKA is a high-tech enterprise and one of the world's top suppliers of flexible production systems, robots, fixtures, molds and spare parts for the automated production industry. In the automotive parts manufacturing industry, automotive flexible production lines, as well as logistics, plastics,

In the fields of metal processing, casting and medical equipment, it has the world's top level of automation equipment R&D and manufacturing capabilities.

These world-class equipment production capabilities are enough to make up for key weaknesses for GREE Group, and it has rapidly grown into an international-level comprehensive equipment manufacturer.

TSMC

A 12-inch wafer fab is being built in the Hsinchu Science Park using funds raised. It has entered the final equipment debugging stage and is expected to start trial production in early September and reach full production in October.

The second 12-inch wafer fab is also in the early stage of planning. It is undergoing site leveling and preliminary water supply, power supply, ventilation and communication stages. The factory building construction will start at the end of the year.

Atlantic Jinko, Hynix, and Huanghe Technology Group are taking advantage of the steady recovery of the market to earn huge profits, which are simply crazy profits.

The OPPO brand V5 mobile phone launched by Atlantic Business Machines continues to be a hot seller around the world, and the Polaroid brand mobile phone is also very popular, with orders pouring in like a snowflake.



All in all, everything is on the right track.

Wang Yaocheng listened to the report and felt quite satisfied. He lay on the white wicker chair with his eyes narrowed and was fascinated. The light-colored shoes on his feet bounced up and down, showing his excellent mood.

My career is going smoothly, my family life is happy, haha...it seems like everything is at its peak.
