Chapter Thirty-Nine: Wickedness!

After a short vacation, William White traveled to San Francisco, where he was very concerned about the cash cow and absolutely did not want anything to go wrong.

Apple computer sales are very good, although they do not reach 30,000 units, but they are very close. Da Mo finally needs to face the facts, and their valuation is indeed seriously skewed.

Da Mo is basically the best investment bank in this era, and he may be kicked out this time, which makes Da Mo embarrassed.

If Apple's IPO fails, they can still watch the joke. But it is clear that there are many investors interested in this company. Nothing discordant will happen.

This time, not only was Qiao Dashen dissatisfied, but Makula was also very unhappy, and if he questioned the issuance fee, Da Mo just listened to it as a joke. Wall Street has a much more monopoly than Hollywood, and you can't afford to lease an exchange.

What is being questioned now is their perception of the industry, and everyone Qiao Dashen has said, do you know what a computer is.

In fact, not to mention Da Mo, there is not a single company on Wall Street that understands. This company was originally normal, and selling 10,000 units a month was just barely enough, so how could it suddenly go berserk?

It's really good to sell more than 10 million dollars of products every month, but it's not a very good company. Your market share is less than 40%.

What's going on now?

Not only has Apple's sales climbed, but other companies seem to be doing well. Although the growth rate is not as fast as Apple's, it is true that sales are increasing.

The most puzzling thing for them is how the profit margin has also increased, which is completely unreasonable, don't you need to pay for such a big promotion?

Damn, this part of the profit is from selling software.

"Henry, what's going on with that software company, how much software did they sell in July?"

"Boss, we have no way of knowing the exact data, they are now a private company, all the shares are in the hands of one person, and there is no need to announce these news. ”

"Silk, why did I forget this stubble, aren't they going to be in the A round next year?

"10%, and it won't be more, their CEO said, if you don't think about an IPO, this part is not necessary. ”

"Tsk, damn local tyrant, why can't he be poorer. ”

"Boss, according to the public information of other companies, they sold at least 60,000 sets of software in July, although it is only 6 million, but it really has no cost, they have made crazy money. ”

"Well, there is such a thing, how do I feel like I'm listening to a story, are you sure it's not some Ponzi scheme. ”

"Boss, I'm afraid not, there is news that the blue giant will also enter the industry. ”

"Damn, with such a company in his hand, the boss actually went to make some movies, how willful he is. ”

Henry could only choke speechlessly, other people's movies are also very profitable Okay, it is estimated that this product can earn 100 million, which is far more profitable than a software company, you are the boss, I just don't dare to say it.

"Henry, what's that look on your face? Am I not right?"

"Boss, his movies will make at least 100 million, I really don't know how to say this demon. ”

Poof, the old guy squirted out a mouthful of coffee.

"Ahem, Henry, are you sure you're not talking about yen?"

"No, if there weren't a Star Wars movie or something, this year's box office champion would be theirs. ”

"My God, doesn't his family run a farm, how can such a demon appear!"

Many investment banks are talking about William White, of course they all want to invest in White Software, and they are not afraid of any valuation now, and it will definitely be more expensive next year.

Now no one talks about shell companies, and their R&D strength is very strong. Nowadays, people not only sell software, but also the business of various adaptation cards is also very good.

Well, these are all OEM.

There is another peculiarity of this company, the bosses seem to be reluctant to produce, they are more focused on R&D.

At present, several adaptation cards on the market are theirs, and they are all selling well.

The gross profit margin is also very outrageous, the lowest is 100%, although they don't have to announce it, but the listed companies that help him produce it, these content investment banks can naturally easily obtain.

The production is handed over to other OEMs, and the sales are thrown to computer companies, and the goods are made while lying down.

The most resentful thing is their attitude, people are very dissatisfied with the current profit margins. If the manufacturer can't lower the price as soon as possible, they plan to throw all the orders to the footbasin.

Being able to develop adapters, you say they don't know how to make computers?

Obviously, people don't think it's profitable, so they don't have much interest in participating. You all have to do it, and we won't make this hard-earned money.

Investment banks are really having a headache about valuation, this guy's profit margin is too high, although he is still investing, but it is far from the speed at which he makes money.

Not to mention the software company, his film company has people who want to invest. This difficulty is obviously even greater, people have 100 million US dollars in their hands, how are you going to invest?

Faced with the inquiry of the investment bank, William White was very speechless, and could only refuse with a wry smile, he planned to burn the money first, otherwise the financing would be useless, and he could not deposit it in the bank.

Investment banks are also very depressed, Hollywood financing is not unusual, and producers are not busy with this job. People are looking for funds everywhere, and this guy's money has nowhere to use it.

Hollywood's big productions are very strange, and the giants can't afford to play them, many of them are foreign funds, and the giants' contributions may only be 30%. Of course, everyone is happy when they make money, and they are unlucky together when they hit the street.

Hollywood's mechanism is still very good, and the proportion of cinema operators pumping is very low, which is unique in the world.

The Celestial Empire in later generations is more powerful, basically half and half. Cinema operators can't help it, the proportion of taxes is quite gratifying, movie theaters are generally in shopping malls, and the rent is very outrageous, if the movie is not very reliable, the theater company will still lose money.

The only advantage is that there are many people, as long as your movie is good, any box office record is a floating cloud, and it will be broken eventually.

These are all things for the future, and now is not the time to go. With the exception of a few large cities, the rest of the city is full of open-air cinemas.

This thing is also in the United States, and they call it a drive-in theater, which is actually very, which is to get a screen in an open-air parking lot. It's not mainly about watching any movies, it's all for the convenience of young couples.

I have to say that the beauty of this era is really messy enough. I don't know how I figured it out, I hope the sound of the movie is loud enough, otherwise it's really lively enough.

William White returned to Silicon Valley, and his miniature database was preliminarily completed, and although there were still some flaws, he was very satisfied.

He decided to educate Larry Ellison, don't mess with me again, wait for my database to come out, and see where your face goes.

"Speed up the test, notify Apple and other companies, if you are interested, come over quickly, I will give you another month at most. ”

"Rest assured owner, we will definitely get it done. ”

"Okay, very good, two more months' salary next month, you can continue to work hard. ”

For Lao Mei, everything is fake, and the American knife is their favorite thing.
