Chapter 1829: Technological Development
Sugar cube investment is a clear card in Bao Feiyang's hand, and most of the stocks in the hands of sugar cube investment are entered by relevant companies in the form of venture capital before listing, and the cost of holding shares is relatively low. In addition to this, Bao Feiyang also has some vests, which are operated on the open market.
For example, according to the relevant regulations of the United States, only 20% of the company's listed stocks are allowed to be listed, and other unlisted stocks have a two-year suspension period, so most of the shares held by Sugar Cubes are about two years old, that is to say, they were all bets placed by Sugar Cubes more than two years ago, or listed two years ago. In the past two years, in addition to high-quality resources such as Amazon and Google, Sugar Cubes has been more restrained in investment.
In addition to sugar cube investment, Bao Feiyang's other vests do not have such restrictions, these vests are scattered to buy stocks from the open market, because they are not restricted, in fact, the value of the stocks hoarded in their hands is much more than that of sugar cube investment, but because they are bought in the open market, the cost of holding is relatively high.
Seeing that the sugar cube investment was sold smoothly, Bao Feiyang was also relieved. Compared with sugar cube investment, the stocks held by other vests are more dispersed, and the move of selling stocks is less important, and there is no restriction on the stocks in the hands of these vests, and the selling action is smoother.
Through such a wave of operations, the amount of money that Bao Feiyang has invested in Silicon Valley and Nasdaq in the past few years has swelled to an astonishing number. Before the stock market crash, these funds will basically be withdrawn from the market and turned into real dollars.
With so much money in hand, naturally you can't just leave it like that.
Another thing that Bao Feiyang came to the United States is also related to the stock market crash, that is, arranging for traders to absorb the stocks of some technology companies at a low level after the stock market crash.
Objectively speaking, there are indeed some bubbles in the stocks of Internet companies at present, and they are very serious. However, in the long run, the prospects of Internet companies are still very promising.
If the current market value of Internet companies is generally high and there is a bubble, then after the stock market crash, the stocks of some Internet companies have fallen below the value of the enterprises.
Taking Slender Fox as an example, the stock price fell to 0.8 yuan at the lowest, and the company's market value was far lower than the net cash on the books. That is to say, if someone can buy all the shares of Slender Fox, and then stuff the net cash on Slender Fox's book into their pockets, and then directly dissolve Slender Fox, they will still make money in the end, which shows that the stock price deviates greatly from the actual value of the company.
Bao Feiyang is planning to buy some stocks of promising companies on dips after the stock market crash, and then wait for the stocks of these companies to rise again and make a lot of money.
Of course, in addition, during the stock market crash, traders will also conduct a wave of operations in the futures index market, speculating by shorting the stock index.
Since Bao Feiyang is not sure whether the specific time of the stock market crash will change, the operation above the futures index will be more conservative, but there is no problem in making a big profit.
Bao Feiyang's operation on the NASDAQ stock market is basically carried out with the Tang family, after all, many investments themselves have the participation of the Tang family, and it is impossible for Bao Feiyang to ignore the Tang family.
And after seeing Bao Feiyang, the first thing the old man of the Tang family said was: "Is it going to be a big fight again?"
Bao Feiyang couldn't help but wonder, although the situation this time was different from the one in Mexico, it was actually similar in essence.
In this place in the United States, with the cooperation of the Tang family, many things will become easier.
"There should be some changes in the stock market recently, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to make a little money, but these are all surprises, and the most important thing for a business, a family or even a country is the longevity of the foundation. Bao Feiyang said to Old Man Tang with a smile.
Bao Feiyang came to the United States this time, and there was another very important thing, that is, he wanted to talk to the Tang family about the restructuring and layout of some overseas industries.
The Tang family has many industries, and at present, the Tang family and Fang Xia have cooperated in Tangsheng Heavy Industry, Tucker Oil, Fangta Mining and ceramics and other industries. The Tang family has a large number of industries in North America and Latin America, after all, the Tang family is a big business, more than 100 years of branches, and the industrial distribution is naturally very wide. However, after the Mexican financial crisis, the Tang family's industry is relatively concentrated in some fields such as energy, minerals, shipbuilding, shipping, and hotels, and the competitiveness of the industry has become stronger.
"Although the NASDAQ is a bit overdone, and the bubble will be punctured sooner or later, the prospects for the new economy are still bright, and after the stock market crash, it is also the best opportunity for us to enter these industries......"
Bao Feiyang said: "There are some things that are inconvenient for us to do, and even the Tang family is inconvenient to stand in front of the stage, so some of the preparations we have made in the past should be able to be used soon!"
In the past few years, Bao Feiyang and the Tang family have been secretly acquiring some European and American companies with clean resumes, and then through complex operations, it is difficult for people to detect that the behind-the-scenes controllers of these companies are actually the Tang family and Fang Xia.
Of course, even if someone traces it down, at most they will find the Tang family, or an offshore company registered by an American. Most of these companies are engaged in some advanced technology and advanced equipment, although even if Bao Feiyang actually controls these enterprises, it is difficult to directly transfer the technology of these enterprises to China, and it is even more impossible to sell the equipment on the embargoed catalogue to China, but it is still possible to obtain some key technologies through some means. Part of Fang Xia's technology was actually obtained in this way.
What's more, the value of these enterprises themselves is very large, although some are not the top in the industry, but after a large amount of capital investment, they have developed rapidly and become industry leaders and technology leaders. In the future, the NASDAQ stock market crash will be hit hard not only by those Internet companies, but also by a large number of technology companies, Bao Feiyang is ready to continue to invest the money he made on the NASDAQ this time to these technology companies, such as those that make chips, memory hardware companies, communication companies, etc., including the current Apple is also a very ideal investment object.
The Tang family has developed very rapidly through cooperation with Bao Feiyang over the years, and Tangsheng Group has become a world-class multinational giant.
"In the future, digital technology will penetrate every corner of the world, as well as all aspects of our lives...... Bao Feiyang talked about his "vision" for the future.
At this time, the United States was leading in computer technology and Internet technology in the world, but in Bao Feiyang's view, many electronic devices in the United States are prehistoric species and are very backward. The development of technology in the future will be very fast, and it will be overwhelming.
"Moore's Law will play a bigger and bigger role, even faster and faster, and the progress of technology will turn the world upside down, and many things that we are used to will be obsolete......"
Bao Feiyang said with feeling: "For example, there are still many street shops in the United States that rent videotapes, but from this year, DVD has become popular, and the sales of DVD players in the United States may exceed 4 million units this year, and will reach more than 6 million units next year, and the sales of the entire market will exceed 1 billion, and DVD will soon replace the VCR ...... in the future."
VCRs used to be a standard appliance in European and American homes, just like televisions. However, with the advent of DVDs, VCRs will soon be phased out, and DVDs will dominate home audio-visual entertainment. However, it will not take a few years for a Blu-ray disc player to appear, which is the so-called EVD, when EVD appears violently, it will never think that its life cycle will be shorter, and it is almost not popular, and it will be directly killed by online on-demand.
From the development of video recorders, DVDs, EVDs, and online on-demand, it can be seen that the life cycle of modern technology products is getting shorter and shorter, and the replacement is getting faster and faster.
Bao Feiyang pointed to the big TV in front of him and said: "CRT monitors and TVs like this will soon be eliminated by thinner LCD TVs......"
"And that ......"
Bao Feiyang pointed to the huge Hasselblad camera on the table, which belonged to Tang Tian'er: "Film and film cameras will soon be replaced by digital cameras......
Tang Tian'er couldn't help but pouted and said, "Digital cameras are not as good as my Hasselblad, and the pictures they take are like shit!"
Bao Feiyang smiled and said: "Yes, digital cameras are still very bad, but technical digital cameras have the advantage that film cameras cannot have, that is, digitalization." Digitization means convenience, easy storage, easy modification, and easy dissemination...... And convenience means vitality and future. ”
Compared with film cameras, digital cameras have many advantages, such as LCD screen framing is more intuitive than optical viewfinders, and electronic storage media can be viewed, deleted and reshot at any time compared to film, which is more convenient than film cameras have to be processed to know what is being shot, which may not be a big deal for professional photographers, but for ordinary consumers, it is very useful. And when the technology has developed to a certain extent, when there is no obvious weakness compared to film cameras in other aspects, this convenience will also make professional photographers abandon film and choose digital cameras.
Bao Feiyang said: "There are indeed many shortcomings of digital cameras now, but the technology of digital cameras is developing very fast, and these shortcomings will soon disappear, and at that time, digital cameras will completely occupy the market and drive film cameras out of the stage of history." ”
Just last year, the American film giant Kodak just reached an industry-wide joint venture cooperation agreement with the Chinese government, and entered the Chinese market with great ambitions. At that time, Kodak did not expect that the change would come so quickly, and it was Kodak himself who invented something more than 20 years ago.
