Chapter Seventy-Four: I Don't Have a Choice [Ask for Recommendation Votes!First Update]
No matter in the world exists in isolation. Maybe two things that don't seem to have anything in common will produce some wonderful communication.
When Nick began to study the feasibility of Wanhu North America's own logistics system, the summer vacation company of Wall Street in the United States also conducted a survey of Wanhu North America and Wanhu North America's head office, Wanhu Co., Ltd.
Although Wanhu is not a listed company, it seems that it has no intention of ringing the bell on the NASDAQ. And now the cash is in good shape, and it seems that there is no intention of accepting investment. However, the major survey companies are still working on the rating of 10,000 households.
After about half a year of investigation, Wanhu North America obtained an A-grade credit score, while Manho Co., Ltd. itself received an A+ score. If Wanhu is a listed company, such a high score is definitely a big positive for the rise of the stock price, but Wanhu is just a private company. A company in which Pei Zhong and Takahashi each own half of the shares.
Although a senior employee like Nick also has a so-called "share", this so-called share is actually a virtual share.
This kind of share has no other purpose than dividends and recognition of working status.
However, such a high credit rating cannot be said to be completely useless for 10,000 households. The most intuitive change is that it has become easier for 10,000 households to borrow from the bank.
Although almost all of the properties have been sold, there is no shortage of cash at the moment. However, low-interest loans, for any enterprise, not lending is a great waste.
It's shameful to be wasteful, and it's a bastard to take advantage of it, so Wanhu North America borrowed a large amount of money from the bank.
Of course, although the loan money is a lot, it is still within the repayment range of 10,000 households in North America. Don't overestimate the discipline of the financial capitalists on Wall Street in the United States.
They are like vampires one after another, and the real economy of the United States has shown fatigue little by little under their siphon.
The decline of the real economy will lead to a large number of factory shutdowns. A large number of factory shutdowns can lead to a large number of workers losing their jobs. And even workers who are not unemployed will have their incomes drastically reduced.
If it weren't for the fact that the United States, after the collapse of the Soviet Union now, would be the only country in the world that could spread its force all over the world.
They can use violence to maintain their financial hegemony and maintain the monetary stability of the dollar. And oil was found as an anchor. Through the forced petrodollar settlement mechanism, the world's economy is tied. Transferring the suffering of one's own economy to other countries.
This process did not last long, and the so-called developed countries, the developed countries in Latin America, reversed the wheel and became developing countries.
The only one who goes against the trend of the world is probably China, which has a strong control and control.
Financial capitalists may have good people, but financial capital is profit-seeking and emotionless. If a financial capitalist moves against the trend because of his feelings, he will not succeed, he will only be abandoned by capital.
The influx of cheap industrial goods from Asia has temporarily alleviated the panic of the American people about the decline in living standards.
However, financial capital, hungry for profit, is like a gluttonous beast that is eager to eat everything.
The high credit rating they gave to Wanhu is actually a delicious bait.
Once the 10,000 households have eaten it, they may use all kinds of obscure means to make the 10,000 households unable to repay these loans, and in the end they can only choose to convert debts into equity.
If there is no certain vigilance against financial capital, it is easy to be eaten away by this little bit. When the shares in the hands of financial capital have control, the original management is overthrown. Through methods such as killing chickens and eggs, high profits can be obtained in the short term.
The Atari crash, or the Atari crash, will always be a cautionary tale for the video game industry.
The superficial cause of Atari's collapse was that Atari produced and released a large number of garbage games, which deceived players, who voted with their feet to let Atari die.
However, Wanhu North America, led by Nick, conducted a more in-depth investigation. However, it was found that Atari had changed from a relatively healthy company to an unhealthy company, starting with the acquisition of Atari by Universal.
Prior to the acquisition, Universal said it would keep all of Atari's operating mechanisms unchanged and not interfere with specific operations. However, after only half a year after the acquisition, all that changed.
All the things promised in the contract have become a piece of waste paper.
Three years after the release of the Atari 2600, the performance of the Atari 2600 has begun to lag behind the times, and it is time for a generational upgrade. However, the decision-makers of Universal Space continue to "vigorously promote" this outdated game console, and intensively sell scumbags on it.
The reason for this is understandable for decision-makers around the world. They don't have much affection for video games, which are just a tool for them to make money.
Squeezing out the last bit of profit is their pursuit.
In the course of his investigation, Nick even found out that Universal simply didn't think that video games could become a new industry and stay on fire.
They believe that the reason why video games are now popular in North America is more like a huge scam. It's like the "stone pet" that was once all the rage.
If you say that Atari lost money on the acquisition of Atari?
Did the founder of Atari lose money? No.
The people who lose money are the players who genuinely love video games and pay real money for them.
After the collapse of Atari, the video game market in the United States was like a mess of cups and plates after a meal.
It wasn't until Nintendo entered the U.S. market that it revitalized the U.S. video game market.
And what is Nintendo's character?
Nintendo is a Yamauchi Pu's Word, an independent kingdom headed by Yamauchi.
Those financial capitalists can't intervene too directly in Nintendo's business.
Nintendo is also not like Atari at the beginning, extremely lacking the capital to expand.
You know, Atari was also a legend back then. A company with a founding capital of $500 can swell sales to $5 million a year later.
A rapidly expanding company lacks sufficient capital to support its expansion, and its expansion is slowed down by lack of money. Competitors don't wait for them to be well funded, and then compete with them for the market.
As a result, Atari was acquired, which in hindsight seemed like a wrong choice. But at that time, there was only one option.
It is to choose capital injection, continue to expand, and defeat opponents.
Or choose not enough scale and be squeezed out of the market.
There's no choice.
Fortunately, Wanhu has a choice.
