584 [PHS's solitary food is gone]
Beijing, Quadrangle.
The grapes in the yard are already leafy, and more than a dozen members of the Taurus Club are sitting under the grape trellis drinking tea and enjoying the coolness.
Wang Chuanfu flipped through the various information of Taurus Capital and the simple statements of its shareholding companies, and said in surprise: "Shenzhou Technology's net profit in the first half of this year is 750 million yuan?
750 million, not sales, not gross profit, but net profit, and only half a year's net profit!
Because Shenzhou Technology is not a listed company, it never makes its financial reports public, and no one knows how profitable this company is. At this moment, the other members of the Taurus Club were stunned, and even a little doubtful about the authenticity of this simple report.
Song Weiyang explained: "The main profit point of Shenzhou Technology is PHS, followed by computers and mobile phones, and USB flash drives, repeaters and handheld computers launched this year are also quite profitable. Moreover, the half-year net profit of 750 million yuan does not include the domestic and foreign patent licensing fees of the USB flash drive, nor does it include the profits obtained from investing in SMIC. Of course, starting in May this year, PHS will not be able to eat alone, and the competition will be fierce in the next few years. ”
"What is PHS's current market share?" Duan Yongping asked.
Song Weiyang said: "About 80%." ”
PHS, a unique business, was finally divided into the cake.
It's not that the telecom department is backtracking, it's Netcom that is playing tricks. Since last year, Netcom has been involved in the PHS business, and the partners are ZTE and Lucent. But it's all a small fight, because the influence of Netcom is not large, and Shenzhou Technology has occupied more than 99% of the market share.
However, in May this year, the telecommunications companies of the ten northern provinces, as well as the Jitong Communication Company, were all merged into Netcom by the central government, and the pattern of North Netcom and South Telecom was formally formed.
As a result, the new PHS business in the northern market was instantly lost more than half and was snatched away by ZTE and Lucent.
Shen Fuxing couldn't discuss with the telecom department, because the leaders of telecom were also very depressed, and they lost the territory of ten provinces at once. Netcom is even more reasonable, because Shenzhou Technology signed an exclusive contract with Telecom, and this contract has no right to restrict Netcom's behavior.
In a fit of rage, Shenzhou Technology sent a lawyer's letter to ZTE and Lucent: "PHS is a legal registered trademark and has been permanently authorized by the original author, and ZTE and Lucent are not allowed to use the name 'PHS'." ”
ZTE and Lucent were not moved at all, and still sold goods under the sign of PHS. They took out the "Notice on Regulating the Construction and Operation of Wireless Local Telephones" issued by the Ministry of Information Industry, which directly referred to the telephones using the PAS system as "PHS", so PHS does not only refer to a registered trademark brand, but the collective name of all PAS system telephones.
Shenzhou Technology immediately responded: "First, the trademark registration of PHS, before the Ministry of Information Industry promulgated this document, the Ministry of Information Industry has no right to use the existing trademark as the industry category name; ”
To put it bluntly, it is picking out words, and the fight is purely a confused lawsuit, and Shenzhou Technology cannot risk offending the official to sue the Ministry of Information Industry and Netcom. If that is really done, the remaining business of Shenzhou Technology in Unicom's territory will be lost, which is equivalent to completely abandoning the northern market.
This kind of lawsuit will take at least a few years to fight, and the final result can be imagined, most of which is coordinated by relevant departments, stipulating that PHS can only be used by Shenzhou Technology, ZTE and Lucent, and Shenzhou Technology can get a small amount of compensation at most.
Hell yes!
As the saying goes, crying children have milk to eat, Shenzhou Technology is so troublesome, and the Ministry of Information Industry also feels that there are some problems, after all, they are the registered trademarks of private enterprises as industry categories in the documents - in fact, Song Weiyang ran the relationship, he set the Golden Bull Club gathering in the capital this time, because he had just been in the capital.
As a victim, it deserves compensation, and under the coordination of superiors, Netcom will continue to cooperate with DCT. That is to say, in the business hall of Netcom, the PHS produced by Shenzhou Technology, ZTE, and Lucent can be sold, and it all depends on which product consumers choose to buy.
As for the southern market, it is still a monopoly of Shenzhou Technology, and ZTE and Lucent have nothing to do about it, because China has not yet promulgated the Anti-Monopoly Law.
……
"Lao Song, when are you going to make Shenzhou Technology listed?" Guo Guangchang has been a little obsessed with capital operation in the past two years, he said, "With the current excellent performance of Shenzhou Technology, once it is listed, it will be easy to raise billions of yuan." ”
Song Weiyang said with a smile: "I will not choose to go public, because after listing, I will be responsible to investors, which will definitely affect the company's business development." Anyway, Shenzhou Technology is not short of money, last year's R&D expenses exceeded 1 billion, and investors will allow 1 billion R&D funds per year after listing?"
Guo Guangchang said: "You just need to maintain control of the company, no matter how loud the investors' doubts are, the decision-making power is still in your hands, as long as you can come up with beautiful performance." ”
"It will definitely be affected," Song Weiyang shook his head and said, "This kind of influence will be imperceptible, rooted in the blood of the company's top management, and every time they make a big decision, they will subconsciously stare at the stock price, and they will also look ahead and consider the follow-up results." ”
"It's a pity. Guo Guangchang said regretfully.
Song Weiyang said with a smile: "If you are willing to exchange shares, we will jointly hire a third-party agency to investigate and evaluate." ”
Cao Dewang shook his head and said: "There are too many companies held by Taurus Capital, and there are a large number of high-quality companies, with a valuation of tens of billions. We are all petty fights, and we need to use a large number of shares in exchange for a little bit of shares in Taurus Capital. ”
"Mr. Cao said with a smile," Song Weiyang said, "Your Fubo valuation is at least tens of billions, and you are fighting an anti-monopoly lawsuit with the Canadian Department of Commerce." This wave of equity swaps is fair and just, voluntary is the first principle, and Taurus Capital never interferes in the operation of investment enterprises. If you are willing to exchange shares, if you don't want to, if I haven't said this, we will still be good friends in the future. ”
Duan Yongping suddenly smiled and said: "I agree to replace the equity, and I will not lose money doing business with Lao Song." ”
"I also agreed to the swap so that the risk could be shared. Guo Guangchang was actually shocked by the performance of Shenzhou Technology.
Song Qizhi raised his hand and said: "Although the Xianjiu Group is not large, it is also worth a few dollars, and I can replace it a little bit." ”
"I support Lao Song!" Cai Zhiping also said.
Cai Zhiping, who was most affected by the butterfly effect, was in another time and space, he had been rolling in the business world for decades, and the total assets of the company were only 7 billion yuan. Now by Song Weiyang's allocation, he has devoted himself to the field of commercial real estate in advance, and continues to buy land to build shopping malls in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (mainly for the textile market, but also for comprehensive stores), and at the same time has joined hands with Thailand's CP Group to promote Lotus Supermarket, and last year's personal assets were nearly 2 billion.
Following Song Weiyang can eat meat, Cai Zhiping has a deep understanding of this.
Li Sufu smiled: "Then I'll change it a little bit." ”
Liu Yonghang and Liu Yonghao did not agree on the spot, but after they discussed privately, they both decided to carry out a small amount of equity exchange with Taurus Capital.
The most embarrassing is Zhang Xuanlong, this old man is known as the "Godfather of Zhongguancun", but his personal net worth is the least among the members of the Golden Bull Club. Two years ago, in order to prevent an equity transaction of Founder Group, he directly fell out with the boss of Founder, and his good friend for many years almost broke off friendship, and even sold his Founder shares at a low price, and resolutely resigned from the company's board of directors.
As it turned out, Mr. Zhang's initial fears were correct, and the equity deal made a mess of the Founder Group.
Just a few months ago, Zhang Xuanlong was invited back by Founder Group to serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Founder Holdings. This company is a subsidiary of Founder Group, specializing in software development and system integration business, and is also responsible for overseas sales of Founder products (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan).
Zhang Xuanlong smiled bitterly: "I won't get involved, the internal situation of Founder is too complicated, and the equity replacement will definitely make a mess, maybe someone will secretly make a report." ”
"Understood. Song Weiyang said.
The matter was decided, except for Zhang Xuanlong, all other members of the Taurus Club participated in the equity exchange. The specific operation details will have to be evaluated by a third-party agency, and it may be difficult to complete the relevant transactions within this year.
In the future, Song Weiyang plans to build a private joint-stock bank by himself.
