917. Europe Market
Zhou Shi, who walked on two roads with Zuckerberg, came to England again.
Although Galaxy Capital's overseas assets have not changed significantly, its investment focus has become more skewed, and its investment in Europe is much larger than that in Silicon Valley. The main purpose is not so much to make money, but to transfer capital from Wall Street to London, Amsterdam.
In terms of investment returns, Silicon Valley should be the most suitable for international venture capital, but Galaxy Capital is a financial holding company that represents the direction of a consortium. He is chasing stable profits, not high risk-returns. The risk of putting all his eggs in one basket is very great, just like Zhou Shi is a Chinese person, but if he concentrates all his industries in Huaxia, it is a very typical bad pen.
The state is a collective, but some individuals will do things that harm the collective to a certain extent, not to mention that Zhou Shi's interests may not necessarily represent the interests of the country.
According to the principle of the three-three system, the EU obviously wants to occupy one-third of his assets, but unfortunately in fact it is far from reaching his goal. But since the in-depth cooperation with HSBC and other banks, his investment in Europe has reached two or three billion euros. This does not include his private investment (football club) and Galaxy Capital's Xuanwu Fund (securities investment). If you add the investment of Time, Shell, Yahoo and other companies, it is difficult to count. His assets in Europe should be more than 10 billion dollars.
"Mr. Zhou, good news!" Soon after getting off the plane, Chen Wen came over
"You say!" Zhou Shi
'Chelsea lost 3-0 against West Brom, as long as Liverpool can win the Premier League this season against Crystal Palace at Anfield!'
"Looks like we're lucky!" Zhou Shi
"Yes, Liverpool's players and coaches are very ......," Chen Wen said
There are a lot of people who come to pick up Zhou Shi, although he has not bought a house all over the world, but his business can buy a house all over the world, oh, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that most important countries and cities around the world have his employees. For example, Yelp, which is about to be spun off, has made his life services, food delivery and other businesses all over the world, although it has not achieved profitability, but the annual monthly revenue level, especially mobile revenue data, has increased rapidly.
London is a very important financial city in the world, and Galaxy Capital has a stronghold here, and there are branches in Time and Shell.
Instead of going directly to Liverpool, Zhou Shi rested in London for a day, and by the way, he learned about some of the situation here.
"So the matter of Guoke's acquisition of Hasselblad cameras can finally be settled?" Zhou Shi
Hasselblad is the aristocrat of the DSLR, he took the first photograph of man setting foot on the surface of the moon, and also took the famous photo of the earth "Blue Marble", which is the prototype of the WeChat splash screen. However, European consumer brands, except for cars, do not seem to be very powerful, and it seems reasonable that Hasselblad SLR can not do Fuso's SLR. Under the long-term loss, it is natural to find a receiver, but the SLR is just a niche market, and the competition is very fierce. Not many people look up to a down-and-out company with less obvious advantages, but the husk with too much money still looks at him.
No matter how bad the technology of Hasselblad camera is, it is a little stronger than that of Huaxia enterprises, and a high-end brand, full of force, even if it is down, it is still a high-end brand. The brand value is here, and the acquisition of Hasselblad cameras by Guoke, which has outstanding marketing capabilities, can supplement its own shortcomings in photography.
Hasselblad and Volvo are Sweden's two proud, well, Saab Motors should, perhaps, barely be regarded as the pride of Sweden, although it has been tossed many times by Zhou Shi, at least from now on, it has shown vigorous vitality.
"Yes, the Swedish government approved our acquisition. "The person in charge of the husk
It is not difficult to understand the reason why Guoke acquired Hasselblad cameras, increasing the ability of mobile phones to take pictures, and equipping DJI drones with a better camera. Entering the SLR market and obtaining more professional photography technology and patents is an additional benefit.
Just as Harman speakers can add more appeal to the Shell brand, Hasselblad cameras can add a lot of color to the Shell brand.
Since it is difficult for Guoke to defeat Apple's iPhone in a simple brand competition, can it form a joint force by tying up several high-quality brands? That is, in the tradition, if one person cannot win, he will call a group of people to come and beat him.
Guoke acquired Harman International, Apple immediately acquired Beats, and I don't know if Guoke can acquire companies such as Canon this time when Guoke acquires Hasselblad cameras. Or let Apple buy Leica? Leave it to me, let's talk about it then!
"Is there also Saab new energy vehicles on sale in the UK?" asked Zhou Shi when he thought of something
"Saab is an old European brand, Tesla is a new brand, and the technology gap between the two does not seem to be so big. In addition, Saab is very good in both design and experience, so the sales are very good. The London side is a little worse, and the sales of Saab new energy vehicles on the European continent are much better than those in the UK. Europe is the largest sales market for Saab's new energy vehicles...... "the relevant person in charge of Galaxy Capital
"Oh!" Zhou Shi was not surprised, he thought of these before acquiring Saab Motors, the advantages of local brands are actually not big in Europe, but Saab is an old brand no matter how it is said, although it is not as well-known as Volkswagen, Audi and so on, but the popularity of this thing can be smashed out with advertising. The technical strength can be supported by the group's background, scientific research investment and patent accumulation.
A European brand is more conducive to globalization than a Chinese brand, and only people like NIO, who think that they can succeed casually by learning from Tesla, will be keen to establish a brand new company with no history.
In the era of mobile Internet, the time from the establishment of a brand to maturity has been shortened a lot, but it does not mean that any brand can be successful. Instead of facing too much uncertainty, it is better to borrow the corpse to return the soul, borrow the chicken to lay the egg, and achieve your goal. The more mixed the era, the more classic and time-honored the brands are.
It's a pity that Saab's distribution channels and network are not worse than Tesla's, but they are much worse than traditional car brands, and there is a big gap with Tesla in terms of sales volume and sales last year. However, this year is said to be growing rapidly, and it is possible that it will reach the level of Tesla last year in terms of sales. Tesla's production last year was about 35,000 units, and judging from the current situation that his supply exceeds demand, it can barely be said that last year's sales were 35,000.
