Chapter 442: Hiding Wealth
Tempted by the pie drawn by Ye Dongqing, a group of shareholders were furious and united to question Bezos.
This is after he left, and unlike the suggestions of the employees, there are more major shareholders who have raised objections, and Bezos can't think about it too much, not to mention that the threat of Ye Dongqing's liquidation is still very lethal, which means that he will no longer be optimistic about Amazon, and Ye Dongqing's influence on investors is now obvious.
I don't know who had a bad idea, and actually stabbed the transaction case to the media, accusing Amazon managers of choosing to merge for the sake of profit, and harming the interests of Walmart employees, which directly attracted inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the stock prices of the two companies fell together, especially the management of Wal-Mart, which was scolded by investors.
The conscience of heaven and earth, this is really not a trick made by Ye Dongqing, if he makes a move, the power will definitely not be limited to this, and he will not use this method as an entry point.
It is difficult to say whether the transaction will go ahead for the time being, but under the strong opposition of some shareholders of Wal-Mart, it is impossible to estimate it in the original way.
As soon as Ye Dongqing received the news, he sent someone to greet the Securities and Exchange Commission, saying that Wal-Mart was trying to buy off Amazon's employees with profits, hoping to give a warning and thoroughly investigate this practice that may harm other shareholders.
Maybe there will be some estrangement with Bezos because of this, but it's not a big deal, he's not a poor Chinatown kid who needs to rely on others to make a living......
The matter almost passed like this, and for the next half a month or so, I didn't hear anything about the merger again, but I didn't hear of anyone who gave up the decision to try to merge, and whether it would succeed or not was ambiguous for the time being.
Apple's side.
Jobs really made a more careful deployment this time.
After the release of the new iPhone2, this new product began to be released on August 1st, trying the sweetness of hunger marketing, the first shipment is still only 200,000 units, and all of them were sold out in a few minutes.
See that the functions are more comprehensive, More advanced performance of new products, directly led to Apple's stock price in the NASDAQ rose sharply, people know that Apple has played a brand, occupies an absolute leading position in the field of smart phones, so the increase is more amazing, the market value in a short period of time rushed to 85 billion US dollars, in Ye Dongqing's view, this iPhone2 is better than the impression of iPhone3G, in addition to the screen, almost reached the performance of his impression iPhone4, the next generation of products may surpass, it is estimated that Apple's market value exceeded 100 billion US dollars, it is not a long time, it is possible to reach in the fourth quarter of this yearใ
One step behind, one step behind.
Ye Dongqing launched an operating system named Android, and chose partners in a paid way, the current price is not high, but it is possible to increase the price in the future, and learn from Microsoft to sell operating systems to make money.
Free and charged, he struggled with this for a while, and the reason that really made him decide to choose the charging model was that there was no competitor on the market at all, wouldn't it be stupid not to make money under such a premise?
He is creating a new mobile operating system business model, choosing to charge, and most of the latecomers will also charge, in addition to that, once people are familiar with it, they will not easily replace it, so they would rather spend about ten dollars more on the licensing price, which is included in the price of the whole machine anyway, which is not obvious.
Knowing that even if it is monopolized, there will be other technologies, so he discussed with Jobs, and finally decided to join hands to give other manufacturers some technology authorization, in a paid way, while ensuring Apple's leading position, strive to maximize profits, and then can invest profits in research and development to continue to maintain a leading position.
Baseband chips, processors are developed in partnership with other companies, Apple also owns part of the patent, under Ye Dongqing's planning, it is difficult to be stuck by people's neck, this is the advantage of another life, occupy the opportunity everywhere, the account is finished by him, to ensure his own interests and give others benefits at the same time, only win-win cooperation can go further.
Apple's side is only a part of his huge business territory, and the jointly listed Facebook and Youtube side have begun to rise as the market has stabilized for a period of time, stimulated by a series of good news.
In this case, Ye Dongqing announced in a low-key manner that he would donate 30% of the shares of Tamsui Investment Group, but there was no way, if he didn't donate abroad, he would be worth more than 200 billion US dollars.
Another wave of the market is coming, the stock prices of various companies have risen more than expected, this wave of market may continue for a long time, it is good to donate early, some people have already begun to look at him, some time ago there were even extreme haters of the rich to send him bombs, and then the security efforts went up two steps, almost to the extent of perversion.
Ye Dongqing has recently set up a smart home research institute and an autonomous driving technology research institute in a low-key manner, and decided to give New Yorkers a non-profit stadium and more donations for social welfare.
People hate the rich who is not benevolent, because he can be a man, in fact, most people have a good impression of him, many young people regard him as an idol they learn to imitate, and his head picture is even printed on the clothes and hats of environmentalists.
In this case, he began to shift his attention to the education of his children, mainly his daughter Ye Ying, to spend more time with her.
The summer vacation is not over yet, Zhao Liuli will also take time to take care of this little guy, her grades after going to school are still good, and she was even taken by Ye Dongqing to Tamsui Investment Group for an "internship" for a period of time in July, helping to do some work and earn pocket money by herself.
In the next period of time, there are many small things, and there are almost no big things, and there are indeed very few things that can be regarded as big things by Ye Dongqing.
His global hot news website gradually shifted the focus to current politics, and picked up the abuse of funds in the Pentagon as early as possible, there were people over there who wanted him to die, although I don't know who it was, but Ye Dongqing didn't want them to have a good time, and the kind of report was stopped at the point, after the start, the rest was handed over to the peers, for the sake of their own fame, there would naturally be reporters who were not afraid of death doing everything possible to dig out clues.
Ye Dongqing did receive some phone calls because of this, he only regarded himself as a hot-blooded person, and he called it justice, to this point, he did have the strength to break his wrist with anyone, not to mention that he didn't do too much, it was not a big deal.
Whoever dares to jump out and go against him needs to pay a price, so no one wants to offend him, the richer and more powerful he is, the more he doesn't want to offend.
You must know that Ye Dongqing's money has been so much that he needs to continue to donate to the outside world, and a large company like Boeing can currently buy three and a half ......
