Chapter 1360 Discussion
……
"Jianhui, what do you think?" Liu Dong nodded knowingly and then asked instead.
"I agree with Lao Zhang's opinion. Moreover, I think the 3G telecommunications industry and the Internet industry are somewhat similar. Both were new to the end of the 20th century. Almost simultaneously, at the beginning of the 21st century, there was a crisis that almost upended the entire industry. The difference is that the Internet industry has begun to get out of the quagmire of two years ago and is developing more and more rapidly. Now, more and more people are discovering the huge potential for the future development of this industry. This can be seen from the recent popularity of stocks of Internet companies such as Nadasco, Amazon, and Showtime. ”
"Since the future potential of the Internet industry is huge, then by analogy, is the future of the 3G telecom industry, which is also a new thing, just as bright?...... Of course, perhaps, as Lao Zhang said just now, the light of the 3G telecom industry may come later. But we should see that the European telecom industry is slowly emerging from the original crisis and making more and more profits by developing more and more 3G services. ”
"Despite these profits, giants such as Vodafone and France Telecom are in a stage where they cannot make ends meet. But with the cultivation of the 3G market and the advancement of mobile phone hardware, the cake will always get bigger and bigger. When the time comes, companies that enter this market ahead of schedule will undoubtedly have more advantages than those who are latecomers! And advantage means the status of the telecommunications industry, status means the right to speak, and the right to speak means that they can make more profits!"
"Therefore, if the chairman is really interested in the 3G telecom industry, now is the best opportunity! Moreover, sharing the cost of hardware installation between the two companies can also make our telco profitable as soon as possible. ”
"Say so. Are you agreeing with us to enter the 3G telecom industry?"
"Yes!" Feng Jianhui nodded, "Now, more than 20 companies under the group have basically entered a period of stable growth. With the exception of a few, the vast majority are not suitable for snake-swallowing M&A. But the group needs to develop, and the 3G telecom industry has broad prospects, I think it should be the next focus of GCA Investment!"
nodded knowingly. Liu Dong looked at Zhang Fan and said, "Old Zhang, what do you think?"
"I agree with Mr. Feng's opinion, but the investment in the 3G telecommunications industry is too huge. Even now, licenses in European countries are not as expensive as they were at the beginning, and in order to promote the development of their own 3G industry, European countries have also introduced some strong policies. But if we don't have tens of billions of dollars of capital investment, I am afraid that we will not be able to become a telecommunications giant with real international influence. ”
Zhang Fan's words were a little cautious, he was a little afraid that Liu Dong's investment in Europe's 3G telecommunications industry would take up the funds originally scheduled to acquire Yahoo.
"We can choose one of the three major European countries in Britain, France and Germany to focus on development, and then there will be cooperation with Huang Telecom. Two or three billion dollars should be enough! And this money, Emperor Entertainment's income can also support, if it really can't work, a billion dollars of bank loans will not be difficult for us. Feng Jianhui said.
"No!" Liu Dong shook his head slowly, "If you only invest two or three billion yuan, targeting one market." We simply can't be a telecom giant with industry influence. If this is the case, then this investment is a failure for the current GCA Group!"
Right now. Simply making money can no longer satisfy Liu Dong's appetite! What he needs is the status and influence brought by his enterprises.
A corporate giant with industry influence undoubtedly has a significant impact on Liu Dong's economic position in the world. Even the political status has a clear promotion effect.
That's what he wants.
"But ...... the funds?" Feng Jianhui hesitated.
"Sell the shares of Microsoft and Hasbro!" Liu Dong said firmly after thinking about it.
"I know!" Feng Jianhui nodded seriously.
He knew that Liu Dong had made up his mind. Moreover, now that Microsoft and Hasbro have recovered their stock prices during the 'Standard Chartered crisis', they can also make a lot of money.
"With the money from the sale of these shares, plus the group's self-raised funds, it should be able to reach 10 billion US dollars, right?" Liu Dong asked.
"Yes. Enough!" After a simple calculation, Feng Jianhui nodded.
"That's good! But can 10 billion dollars be able to set up two-band equipment in three major European countries, Britain, France, and Germany?"
Liu Dong hopes that in the future, telecom companies will be able to cover the UK, France and Germany, and this will require three bands.
But because of the relationship with Huang Telecom, the two bands became Liu Dong's requirements.
"Unless we can get to $20 billion. Otherwise, it's impossible!" Feng Jianhui said with a wry smile.
Even if the price of 3G licenses in these three countries has dropped a lot due to the telecom bubble, it is still not a small number. And there's also an investment in hardware equipment. So, to be able to run a band between the three major European countries, 10 billion US dollars is very tight, let alone two bands?
"I see!" Liu Dong nodded.
"Jianhui, the establishment of Hanhua Telecom will be entrusted to you. Also, I'll tell David personally about the stock sales of Microsoft, Amazon, and Hasbro. In addition, you are the president of Standard Chartered Bank, and you should cooperate with Zhang Fan to discuss the acquisition of Yahoo. ”
"What about the leadership of Sinicization Telecom?" Feng Jianhui said.
Of course, if you have the right candidate, you can also recommend it to me!"
"Understood!"
"Okay, we're done talking about business! Let's go, I'll take you out to dinner! It's time to rest!" Liu Dong stood up and smiled.
"Then we might as well be respectful!" Zhang Fan said with a smile.
The plan to acquire Yahoo was set, and after seeing the hope of success, Zhang Fan's heart was also relaxed.
"Alright, let's go!"
After a simple cleaning up, Liu Dong took Feng Jianhui and the two out of the house. After lunch at the famous Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, we went to the headquarters of the GCA Group in Tsuen Wan and ATV in the afternoon.
By the evening, Liu Dong had already arrived in Macau.
When I finally came to Hong Kong once, I always had to go to the 'Imperial Entertainment' across the water to have a look! This was the cheapest and highest-output super money printing machine in Liu Dong's hands.
