Chapter 644

The Wang Consortium has carefully built a complete ecological chain for the electronic semiconductor industry, from the lowest-level Linux operating system, the open source Athlon series central microprocessor chips, the full set of intellectual property rights of AMD series central microprocessor chips, to application chips and storage

Chip wafer production lines and smart home appliances such as computers, TVs, and mobile phones form a complete closed-loop ecological chain.

Relying on continuous and vigorous investment in science and technology for more than ten years, the technology level is at the top of the world, leading the development of the electronic semiconductor industry.

It has formed four major brand manufacturers: Atlantic Jinko, Hynix, TSMC and Samsung, firmly occupying more than 90% of the international market share of DRMA and flash memory, more than half of the market share of application chips, and is the leader in the field of foundry chips, without being the second player.

think.

This is one of the core businesses of the consortium, and it is one of the three core pillars alongside the financial industry and network high technology.

The third network high-tech industry

Wang Yaocheng made his fortune by specializing in the Internet high-tech industry. He has the deepest and most extensive influence in this field and has the greatest say.

As the huge destructive power of the 2008 financial crisis has fully emerged, the financial industry and the North American real estate industry are in decline and have not yet fully recovered from the heavy blow.

But the spring of network high technology has arrived. To describe it in one sentence:

Xiaohe just showed her sharp corners.

Judging from the market value of the Internet high-tech companies under the consortium, Amazon.com is worth more than 70 billion U.S. dollars, Google is just over 200 billion U.S. dollars, Facebook is worth more than 60 billion U.S. dollars, Photo Gallery is worth more than 7 billion U.S. dollars, Alibaba.com has not yet been listed, and Little Penguin is worth hundreds.

100 million Hong Kong dollars, a wave of demon kings is being bred.

As the high-tech wave of the Internet has surged over the past decade and a new generation has replaced the old, Silicon Valley has now formed a mindset;

The only one who can lead the high-tech wave of the world's network is the Boss King, and everyone else is a scumbag.

The most striking negative example is Microsoft President Steve Ballmer, who ruined Netscape and Yahoo, both of which were once high-tech Internet companies in Silicon Valley.

Microsoft seems to have missed the Internet and the mobile Internet trend in recent years, and has become completely invisible in the turbulent era.

In particular, the failure of the integration of Yahoo, which cost nearly US$200 billion, had a huge impact on the self-confidence of Microsoft's top executives, making them even doubt their life.

Therefore, the company's development strategy has become increasingly conservative, with few large-scale mergers and acquisitions.

The network high-tech companies under the consortium can be said to be a real treasure house of wealth, providing a steady stream of almost endless wealth support for development in the next 20 or even 30 years.

The huge network of high-tech companies has more than 100 matrix holdings and major equity participations, with a huge total market value. Unfortunately, it is still losing money overall, with net expenses in 2008 reaching 6 billion US dollars.

Whether it is Amazon.com, Photo Gallery, Alibaba and JD.com, they are all in the stage of large-scale money burning. The top priority is to seize the commanding heights of the market and seize the top traffic. As for profitability requirements, they are ranked lower.

The fourth block of physical enterprises

This part includes Atlantic Business Machines Company, Cisco Systems, Greenland Group, Samsung Electronics, Huanghe Technology Company, Swiss ABB Group and Yangtze River Technology Company, etc., and is the backbone of the consortium's revenue contribution.

Affected by the global financial crisis, the overall profit level fell by 56.7% in 2008, affecting the entire consortium's annual income.

Breaking down the reasons, we can find that market restructuring accounts for a considerable share.

GREE Group's offensive strategy in the international home appliance market has set off rounds of price cuts since August 2006, which not only directly caused Samsung and LG to suffer continuous serious losses, but also greatly expanded their market share and laid the foundation for

It has strengthened its market position as a comprehensive equipment supplier in the consumer electronics field.

By the end of 2008, the smoke from the fierce competition in the market had dissipated, and GREE Group was proudly standing among the world's top 500 companies and became a leader among them.

Similarly, at the end of 2007, Huanghe Technology Group took the lead in launching a wave of reshuffling in the field of LCD displays. Through fierce price cuts, it bloodbathed the entire world's panel industry.

Taiwan's panel companies, led by Wuduo Jinhua, have closed down and reorganized, leaving only one company, Chunghwa Picture Tubes. LG Group's LCD panel business was sold to Huanghe Technology Group at cabbage prices, including a line with heavy losses.

Yatsura line.

Looking at the entire LCD panel market, Huanghe Technology Group already occupies 85% of the market share. It also owns the LG and Chimei Electronics brands, further deepening its market dominance.

Due to continuous investment in technology, Huanghe Technology Group firmly controls 100% of the market in the field of small and medium-sized OLCD liquid crystal displays. This is an indispensable high-tech display technology for smartphones and laptop computer screens, and represents the development direction of future display technology.

The fifth block is the bulk resource field represented by the British Red River Resources Company.

After several years of development, the British Red River Resources Company has rapidly emerged as the world's largest mining company, including Rio Tinto, Australia's FMG Resources, Guinea Simandou and other giant mineral resource companies.

From the perspective of iron ore supply capacity, Honghe Resources Company can provide 520 million tons of iron ore throughout the year, accounting for 60% of China's iron ore demand, which has greatly curbed the momentum of crazy iron ore price increases.

In the long-term price negotiations for the three major mines in 2008, the negotiations led by Honghe Resources Company reduced prices by 6.5% compared to the previous year, achieving a result that was very satisfactory to both supply and demand parties.

Today's Honghe Resources Company's bulk resources are not limited to iron ore mines, but also produce a large amount of aluminum ore, copper ore, diamonds, coal and natural gas. The product matrix is ​​very rich, and it has a strong say in the world's bulk resources field.

Rio Tinto's Aluminum Company of Canada, Australia's RML Coal Mining Company, Hamolis Iron Ore Company, California Borax Company of the United States, Chile's Escondida Copper Mine, the United States' Kenaco Copper Mine, and Peru's La Granja Copper Mine

, Indonesia’s Grasberg Copper Mine, etc., are all mining companies with rich reserves and among the top in the world.

The sixth block is the commercial sector consisting of telecommunications and aviation, retail services, circulation, hotels, real estate and public utilities.

The development of the commercial sector was a result of Wang Yaocheng's careless efforts. It has grown to a jaw-droppingly huge size today, which really fits that sentence;

If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom; if you plant willows unintentionally, they will grow in rows.

The Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels Group is the world's largest hotel group. It owns more than 20 hotel brands such as Hilton, Waldorf Astoria, Peninsula, Regent, Miramar, and Metropolis. The number of hotels it has developed has exceeded 10,000, covering high schools.

The low-end hotel and resort business, especially the hotel business in Mainland China, has developed the most rapidly, ranking 261st among the world's top 500 companies.

Global Telecom has developed into the world's leading multinational telecommunications company. Its 3G wireless communication network covers more than 70 countries in the world with a total population of 1.7 billion (excluding mainland China). It has also established a mutual equity participation strategy with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the British Vodafone.

With a global alliance and a well-established global layout, the company has bright prospects for future development and ranks among the top five world-class communications companies.

Carrefour Supermarket Group has entered the global market with the expansion of the consortium and has laid a solid foundation in Europe. Through the close cooperation between Swire Trading and Swire Shipping, China's highly competitive light industry and food industry will be promoted earlier to

world market.

In China's booming economy, Carrefour Supermarket Group has benefited from this, helping the group become the world's second largest multinational retail enterprise, second only to the largest American Wal-Mart, and surpassing its European competitors Crossroads and Metro.

The most handsome guys in the business sector are none other than the six kings of the real estate industry.

As China's economy takes off, the real estate industry develops in full swing. The two giant real estate companies in the country, one in the south and one in the north, Pacific and Côte d'Azur Real Estate Development Company, have greatly benefited from this, with their revenue exceeding the RMB 200 billion mark.

In Hong Kong's real estate industry, Swire Properties, Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and Cheung Kong Holdings have all made extraordinary moves. They have prospered in Southeast Asia and Europe, where the economy is booming, and have contributed a lot of revenue to the consortium.

To be honest, Wang Yaocheng invested the least energy in the real estate company, but got the most surprises.

The Pacific Real Estate Company, which was originally established to build Yanjing City Pacific Plaza, and the Côte d'Azur Real Estate Development Company, which was originally established to make money in the island province, have unknowingly grown into a leading company in the real estate industry.

Sure enough, gold can shine everywhere.

The Pacific Real Estate Development Company led by Feng Lun and the Côte d'Azur Real Estate Development Company led by Yi Xiaodi took advantage of the domestic economic development boom and became out of control!

The consortium has many highlights in the commercial sector. Cathay Pacific Airways, which has a global presence, Swire Shipping Company, which has a huge container fleet, bulk cargo and iron ore fleets, and Hong Kong China Power Group, which invests in dozens of power plants, are all in their respective fields.

A stunning performance.

Unfortunately, there are too many outstanding companies in the business empire of the huge Wang consortium, which obscures its dazzling aura.

Also due to the core business positioning of the consortium, outstanding companies in these commercial fields receive less attention, and Wang Yaocheng, the helmsman of the consortium, does not have much energy to take into account.

Things in the world are so wonderful. This kind of consortium positioning gives business operators greater autonomy and freedom in disguise, and they quickly take off with the help of resource integration within the consortium.

Don’t underestimate the chemical interaction between the companies under the consortium. It can be said to be of great help to commercial companies, especially in helping them achieve quantitative and qualitative changes.

First of all, corporate bank loans under the consortium can be given priority, with preferential interest rates and longer terms. With strong financial and insurance industry support, it is easy to quickly expand the scale and market.

Take Swire Ships as an example;

Swire Shipping's marine fire insurance business is underwritten by AIG. In the event of an accident, claims can be quickly obtained. A large number of new ship orders can be pledged with the new ships themselves, and the fleet size has expanded rapidly.

Whether it is Swire Trading, Carrefour Supermarket Group, Green Group, Yangtze River Technology Group, Atlantic Business Machines Company, or Red River Resources Company, they all have huge logistics needs, a large part of which is carried by Swire Shipping.

In response to the huge iron ore transportation needs of Australia's FMG Resources Company and Guinea's Simandou Company, Swire Shipping has built 66 300,000-ton ultra-large iron ore ore ships to carry out large-scale transoceanic transportation.

In addition, there are still more than two dozen new orders for 300,000-ton ore and sand ships waiting to be launched, as well as a large number of orders for ultra-large container ships with 11,000 TEUs and 200,000-ton Capesize bulk carriers. The company is in a state of rapid expansion.

.

After the acquisition of Rio Tinto, it is another opportunity for explosive growth for Swire Shipping.

While Swire Shipping has rapidly developed into a world-class large-scale shipping company, its stable flow of materials has made its financial position very stable. It does not need to seek food from the world freight market, and the transportation capacity of ocean-going giant ships has always been in a saturated state.

Swire Shipping can obtain high-quality and low-cost liquefied natural gas energy from Rio Tinto without spending any money, drive giant ships traveling in the ocean, and use freight to offset huge energy costs, thus obtaining considerable profits.

The horizontal linkage development of commercial enterprises has become a common practice within the consortium.

Driven by high-level tacit understanding, hundreds of consortium-enterprise cooperation projects are concluded every year, which further deepens cooperation and refines it into all aspects, creating better and better linkage effects.

Air transport, sea transport and land transport have gradually formed a dense logistics network, covering five continents and four oceans in the world, playing an important role in promoting the expansion of consortium enterprises' advantages in the world market.

Of course Wang Yaocheng, the leader of the consortium, likes to see such a virtuous cycle and strongly advocates it.

The seventh section is the investment field.

This is a business led by Wang Yaocheng personally. It mainly includes venture capital-based Silicon Valley Red Hat Investment Fund, Red River Investment Fund, family trust fund investment-based steady investment, and the acquisition and merger of banks and insurance companies for non-performing assets around the world.

Partly composed.

The venture capital category is easy to understand. Red Hat Investment Fund and Red River Investment Fund are mainly composed of the financial management funds of the Wang Yaocheng family and a large number of consortium executives and middle-level managers. After years of development, the scale has exceeded 100 billion US dollars.

In addition to the equity income of the more than 20,000 middle and senior management members of the consortium, annual salary dividends, and additional boss rewards, the income of these two famous large-scale investment funds in Silicon Valley is also one of the main components of their respective wealth, accounting for a large proportion of it.

This is also a powerful tool for Wang Yaocheng's talent bundling strategy. Only a very small number of middle- and high-level elites working in Wang's consortium will change jobs because of the bundling of interests.

In Red Hat Investment Fund and Red River Investment Fund, there is a high dividend of no less than 8% every year, which belongs to individual fund shares. The consortium rewards corresponding fund shares according to different positions.

This part can only be distributed as dividends, and cannot be withdrawn as equity. The principal and interest of the fund can only be withdrawn after retirement. If you change jobs midway, everything will be lost. The fund will only refund the original investment amount. This trick is really powerful.

Take Zhang Rujing as an example;

With an original investment of one million US dollars, he received 100,000 shares of funds from the Red Hat Investment Fund, which can be accumulated to the current operating rewards over the years. The job promotion rewards include a total of 1.7 million shares of funds, with a total value of more than 400 million US dollars. Every year

You can get more than 30 million US dollars in dividends.

If you change jobs and leave, Red Hat Investment Fund will only return the original investment of 1 million US dollars, and all other bonus option funds will be lost, and you will not get a penny.

In other words, the fund options awarded by this part of the consortium cannot be cashed in until the day of retirement.

Haha, you can change jobs, but you can’t take the money with you.

Family trust fund investments mainly invest in leading companies in traditional industries and high-tech companies.

This includes;

Investment dividends to leading companies in their respective fields such as Microsoft, Time Warner, News of the World, Disney, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Merck & Co. constitute a stable revenue of more than 16 billion U.S. dollars in annual income.

Therefore, share dividends each financial quarter are included in the investment income of the family trust fund.

Overall;

After selling Yahoo's equity in 2003, it was used to significantly increase its holdings of 13.3% of Microsoft's equity, 4.4% of Time Warner's equity, and 7.8% each of Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Merck, with a total value of US$46.83 billion in preferred equity.

More than four years later

This part of the equity has appreciated to US$99 billion, with an appreciation rate of 121.6%. In particular, the market value of pharmaceutical companies has increased the most, with the average value more than doubling.

In comparison, the market value of Yahoo's website has plummeted from a high of 182 billion U.S. dollars to now less than 30 billion U.S. dollars. Microsoft and its partners' investments have suffered huge write-downs.

Especially Ted Turner, the chairman of Time Warner who stepped in halfway and cried out for investment. In front of him, this historic failed investment must not be mentioned.

Otherwise, the furious Ted Turner will definitely kill someone. This is really not a false threat.

In the study

Wang Yaocheng quietly closed the thick financial report compilation of the consortium companies, rubbed the information with his thin fingers, and felt a huge sense of career accomplishment in his heart.

This is the result of 18 years of hard work. I have built a huge empire in the world business field, with tentacles reaching every corner of the world, and a shockingly rich foundation.

Looking back on the present and recalling the past, he has reason to be proud and proud.

Wang Yaocheng walked to the window with excitement in his heart and looked at the snow-white land shrouded in night outside. The city lights spread out in the distance, like the stars falling from the sky. The scene was spectacular.

Tomorrow is the Lunar New Year's Eve of 2008, and the day after tomorrow is the Lunar New Year's Day of 2009.

At this moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Wang Yaocheng stood quietly at the window and stared. Since his rebirth, he has created countless economic miracles, catching opportunities like a hard-working bee, and gathering them bit by bit to form a surging river.

Looking back suddenly in the dead of night, Wang Yaocheng was shocked by the sheer scale. Is this the business empire I created by myself?

The depth and breadth of its coverage exceed the imagination of predecessors, it has world-class influence in many fields, and it has grown into an out-and-out prehistoric behemoth.

At this moment, Wang Yaocheng was deeply intoxicated...
