Chapter 629: Confrontation
Although supported by performance, the shell, which has done well in all aspects, has a market value of 6~70 billion US dollars, which may still be overestimated. You must know that even since 2005, the husk has only been 5~6 years old, and this rate of evolution is really terrifying. However, it only took ten years for Apple to rise from a market value of 7~80 billion yuan before the release of the IPhone to a market value of nearly a trillion US dollars. Zhou Shi's investment in Guoke is about 2 billion US dollars, which feels much better, and it is only dozens of times the increase in wealth. Wait, what about the nut phone? It seems to be in that $2 billion investment.
The high valuation of Guoke scared some people, but Zhou Shi's uncompromising mind that would rather fail than fail in issuance still made most people compromise. After all, Guoke did not choose to go public because of lack of money, Guoke has countless options, but investors are not necessarily. Although Apple is suing many Android manufacturers, it is also dominated by Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers whose patent accumulation is not rich enough, and other European and American mobile phone manufacturers are not within the scope of his attack, and Huaxia threatens him only with Guoke Nuts, but does Apple dare? It's just an operating system or a multi-touch patent, and the Fruit Nuts themselves have accumulated a lot, not to mention that there are still many nuclear weapons that can be used against Apple in the patents bought. As for other Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers, hehehe......
One reason investors are optimistic about Guohu is that the patent risk is relatively much smaller than that of Apple, and most patent issues are not too nerve-wracking. As the products of nut mobile phones enrich all levels of consumption in the entire market, it has further prompted the sales of Nokia, Blackberry, Samsung, and LG mobile phones to plummet, and the entire market seems to be reshuffling. Out of the choice of the future, this time is the time when investors are most yearning for smart phones and pursuing the hottest time, many Chinese companies have invested in this market, and investors who can't catch the nuts have invested in these start-ups, looking forward to the next miracle, or looking forward to the smartphone market becoming the next PC market. You must know that in the previous life, a far from the current level of Guoke, HTC, which ranks very low in the market, can also reach a market value of 30 billion US dollars, and Guoke, as the second in the smartphone market, has a market value of 6~70 billion US dollars, which is understandable.
Zhou Shi also attended the listing of Guohu, and his stake was diluted to 9 percent, the largest individual shareholder. The Four Elephants Fund is also taking the opportunity to cash out a part, about 5 percent, and about $3 billion after excluding taxes. Coupled with the tens of billions of A-share soft sister coins cashed out in China, most of the debts brought about by the acquisition of AIA were finally repaid. When Friends.com is listed in China, with a valuation of about $30 billion, about five percent of the cash out, you can get more than one billion dollars. In addition, the Four Elephants Fund withdrew from high-risk futures investments, and the almost billion US dollars gained from the rise in gold, as well as more than 3 billion US dollars brought by China Development Bank, which means that it basically paid off all the debts caused by the acquisition of AIA.
The Four Elephants Fund announced the progress of debt repayment, and AIA's stock price immediately rose sharply from the negative fall after the listing, and with the successful listing of Guoke, AIA rose again and again, and finally exceeded the cost price of the Four Elephants Fund. Even the fruit shell can be successfully listed, and the domestic friend network occupies an absolute advantage, it is even more impossible to fail, and the debt problem of the Sixiang Fund has been basically solved. AIA will not have large fluctuations due to shareholder issues, and can finally return to the right path, the last time it stopped falling was the benefit brought by CDB's stake in the Sixiang Fund. Otherwise, how many people will rest assured that a little-known fund is burdened with tens of billions of dollars in debt.
Zhou Shi is also worth more than $20 billion because of the listing of Guohu, ranking 23rd in the Forbes Rich Edition in the world, and the second place in the Chinese, surpassing one of the two giants of Google. This more or less brings him more aura, wealth may not be proportional to ability, but for the rich generation, this can prove to some extent that this person is better.
Returning to Guoke, the attack on Motorola was obviously premeditated, and the desire for patents is the first demand of all Chinese entrepreneurs in the high-tech industry to go abroad. The listing of Guoke is obviously also a big blow to motorcycles, and the comparison of the financial data of the two companies can be seen at a glance, and the decline in the share price of motorcycles has become inevitable. The main force that helped Guoke's operation was not Goldman Sachs, but institutions such as KKR and Silver Lake Capital, and even if Moto's stock price fluctuated around $20, Guoke bought it for $25, plus a small service fee. However, there is more than one Guoke in the market that has received shares, and seeing that the stock price is rising, the acquisition is becoming more and more difficult, and these institutions have temporarily stopped the acquisition. Coupled with the news that Google acquired Groupon at a price of $5 billion, Zhou Shi finally stopped waiting and directly launched a tender offer. Anyway, Google, Apple and Microsoft have a greater demand for Motorola, and if they are not ready to buy Motor, they will definitely not lose.
Of course, the acquisition of a company like Motorola will certainly involve the relevant departments of the SEC and US imperialism, and will this endanger their national security? Carly Fiorina is very good at this, and as a high-tech mobile phone company, as a consumer-oriented mobile phone manufacturer, isn't it too nonsense to say that it involves national security? A lot of lobbying funds have been spilled. Carly Fiorina also came to the United States to preside over the overall acquisition.
Zhou Shi's companies buy a lot of assets every year, and this time Guoke went public, opening up financing channels, and Guoke, which has cash reserves of more than 10 billion US dollars, has enough strength to acquire Motorola.
"Guoke buys Motorola! Guoke buys Motorola! Guoke buys Motorola! Say important things three times! I was shocked and didn't know how to speak!" Some netizens in China spoke on Weibo
"Rise up! I am a high-tech enterprise in China. ”
"Support the acquisition of Guoke, and by the way, Nokia is also acquired!"
"Fruit shell, well, this is still acceptable!" foreign netizens
"How do you feel so disobedient, Guohu, its mobile phone and tablet are really good, I heard that it has started to build drones, and the acquisition of motorcycles is not unexpected. "A technology enthusiast abroad
"MD, why can't that acquisition maniac stop!" a certain bigwig knew that Zhou Shi was behind the scenes.
"Is this good or bad?" Hong Kong investors wavered, leaving Guoke's share price without major fluctuations.
Not only did this happen beyond the expectations of most members of the public, but even Motorola's top brass couldn't figure out the situation. If you really want to buy, why don't you contact management and just announce the information? But it quickly became clear that Google's negotiations with them were known.
Seeing that the stock price of Moto rose sharply, Google and Moto, who reacted, immediately applied for a temporary suspension of trading, and a formal confrontation was about to be staged on the NASDAQ.
