Chapter 205 Listing of Computer Appliance Retail Company
The countries of the socialist camp have a characteristic, that is, they attach great importance to the construction of image projects, and the world's largest unfinished building under construction in the north is currently carrying forward this characteristic to the extreme.
It has always been the socialist countries that introduced technology to the capitalist countries, and this time, the world-famous Ambrera company, which belongs to the capitalist camp, wants to introduce the locomotive technology of the socialist countries, which marks the victory of socialism over capitalism, and the political significance is far greater than the economic interests, so the entire East Germany is paying attention to the introduction of locomotive technology this time.
Foster spent two days on the DBME series of standard double-decker and single-decker passenger cars, as well as 242 locomotives to inspect all over, the comprehensive indicators of the train are better than they imagined, with the consent of Ling Shizhe, Foster in the fourth day of reaching the GDR, it was officially proposed to the East German government to introduce DBME series of standard double-decker and single-decker passenger cars and 242 locomotives full set of technology.
Negotiations began in earnest in the conference room of the Honor Hotel, along with Canadian and British ambassadors to East Germany, as well as several railway locomotive engineers from the United Kingdom. Canada and Britain have long negotiated that half of the cost of technology introduction will be shared by both sides, and the introduction of "hard" automatic production line technology will be borne by Ambrera himself, because the British dare not be interested in it.
In the DBME double-decker passenger car introduction on Foster on the price of the comparatively open, so the two sides negotiated very smoothly, it took only one day to reach an agreement framework, because the introduction of the passenger car production line Ambrera does not intend to use it to produce rail trains, so eighteen double-decker passenger cars and eighteen two-two single-decker passenger cars are all placed in Canadian local production, the unified locomotive consortium will send a technical team of more than 50 people, Responsible for instructing and teaching the employees of Ambrera Rail Transportation Equipment Manufacturing Company to master the production technology of DBME series buses.
The British side does not care, both groups of buses will be produced in East Germany, they only need the technical drawings of the buses.
The entire contract amount is as high as 90 million, in addition to the detailed drawings of the passenger cars, the unified locomotive complex has also transferred special steel smelting technologies such as high-strength wear-resistant alloy steel and high-weathering body steel for manufacturing bogies and wheelsets.
The next day, when talking about the introduction of the 242 electric locomotive, it was not so smooth, the number of 12 locomotives they thought was too small, at least 24 GDR was unwilling to transfer the relevant production technology, so Foster took the opportunity to throw out the overseas agency plan for the automatic machine tools of East Germany, and the East German side was really interested.
Although the machine tools of East Germany are good, they have always been only sold in the countries of the socialist camp, and if this time through the opportunity of train technology transfer, the machine tools of East Germany are sold to capitalist countries to make a lot of money, then this political achievement alone is very dazzling.
But the question is, how much does Ambrera be able to do each year? If the quantity is too small, it is better not to do it.
Christopher offered to underwrite 5,000 machines a year to keep the negotiations going. Finally, if the GDR could really reach the number of 5,000 machines per year, it could consider the technology introduction agreement for the Type 242 electric locomotive proposed by Ambrera.
Coming out of the Honor Hotel, Canada's ambassador to East Germany, Billclinton, asked worriedly: "Mr. Christopher, can you sell 5,000 automatic machine tools a year?" Although the automatic machine tool in East Germany is good, it is still a lot worse than the mainstream CNC machine tools on the market! ”
Christopher replied with a smile: "There is no problem with security, maybe there is still a shortage of supply." ”
billclinton……
Foster explained on the side: "Mr. Ambassador, you are concerned about the mainstream market in Europe and the United States, and we are concerned about the market in developing countries such as Southeast Asia, although the CNC machine tools in Europe and the United States are good, but for the countries of Southeast Asia, the CNC machine tools are too expensive, and the price is not the slightest attractive, while the Japanese CNC machine tools are cheaper, but their related maintenance costs are higher than those in Europe and the United States."
This has created a situation where developing countries very much want to use advanced CNC machine tools, but they can't afford to use them, and they are still using those traditional machine tools that we have long since eliminated. The automatic machine tool produced in East Germany, although its CNC system does not have our first opportunity, but the performance is not half a point worse than the precision CNC machine tools in Europe and the United States, and its price is also very low, in Southeast Asia and other developing countries will be very popular. ”
At this time, Christopher said: "I have seen the machine tools exhibited at the Leipzig Industrial Exhibition, and they are very advanced in design, they have achieved the standardization, modularization and serialization of machine tools, and the maintenance is also very convenient and trouble-free, and the design concept of the KTX-1100 intelligent machine tool developed by our company is a way, and its only drawback is that the computer on it is very backward." ”
Billclinton thought for a moment and said, "I get it, but I still insist that our machine is the best." ”
Foster smiled and said, "Of course, our machines are the best. Foster did not continue to say, because Billclinton can not understand the idea of suitability and cost performance, for Southeast Asian countries, although advanced machine tools are good, but the high price and maintenance costs, they can not afford it, so the price and cost performance of machine tools is their first choice.
And the East German machine tool is obviously the most in line with their needs, the accuracy is almost it, as long as it is enough, not to mention the East German automatic machine tool just looks backward, but the machining accuracy is not worse than the German and Japanese high-precision machine tools, but also very reliable and durable.
-----------------------
"It's time to get up, it's almost nine o'clock, and you have to go to work in the company later!" Li Li shook Ling Shizhe, who was still sleeping lazily.
Ling Shizhe played very crazy last night, coupled with Li Li's flattery, the consequence of the fun was back pain.
Li Li was wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt, revealing two jade arms that were as white as snow. The top two buttons of the shirt were spread out, and the two bulging balls on the chest were soft, holding the clothes tightly. The long black and lubricated hair like a waterfall, fluffy and slightly curly, scattered on the chest at will, a delicate jade face, a smile is even more beautiful and moving.
Under Li Li's service, Ling Shizhe put on his clothes, went downstairs to the dining room for lunch, and then sat his Lincoln diplomat and came to the company.
After more than a year of preparation, Ambrera has reached the final sprint moment for the IPO operation. In order to cooperate with this listing, Ling Shizhe also changed the name of the retail store to be called a computer and electrical appliance retail company.
Because Ambrera is headquartered in Canada, the computer appliance retail company specially set up the last stop of the global roadshow in Toronto, Canada.
The previous two-week global roadshow, from New York to Zurich, to Paris and London, Akon Computer has been enthusiastically sought after by investors everywhere it goes.
So far, computer and electrical appliance retail companies have more than 600 directly operated stores around the world, and the total global retail scale of the personal computer industry this year is only more than 400 million US dollars. Therefore, the majority of the profits of computer appliance retail companies mainly come from the sales profits of household appliances.
The construction of the direct store is quite expensive, not counting the construction of the logistics and transportation system, so over the years, Ambrera not only did not earn a penny from the computer and electrical retail company, but also successively invested nearly 1 billion US dollars in the construction of the construction cost, except for a small part of the advertising, most of it was used in the construction of sales stores and logistics system.
It is precisely by relying on the crushing of the dollar that it has won the status of the world's largest computer distributor of computer and electrical retail companies. In the United States, five out of every ten computer cameras sold come from computer appliance retail companies.
According to the forecast of a professional market analysis agency at the beginning of the year, the sales of personal computers in the United States this year will double on the basis of last year. In previous years, the entire PC market was too small, and even if the growth rate was relatively high, the total size was still not large. But after more than a year of development, the sales of PC personal computers have increased considerably.
Last year, total retail sales of personal computers in the United States reached $200 million. This year, the total sales in the first half of the year alone have reached 200 million, and it is not a problem to break through 400 million for the whole year, which also fully fulfills the predictions of relevant institutions.
With the rapid advancement of personal computer technology, the whole society has gradually recognized its status. Instead of being seen as a toy for computer enthusiasts, it has become a new electronic device that can promote the efficiency of work and life. It can be said that after two years of brewing, the personal computer industry has finally begun to enter a period of real explosive growth.
Through large-scale investment in computer appliance retail companies, Ambrera has made a perfect layout one step ahead of schedule, thus seizing an important opportunity. With the surge in PC sales, more and more capital will enter the terminal retail industry.
If the computer park company wants to continue to maintain its share in the expanded market, it is bound to continue to increase investment and extend its tentacles to those areas that it has not yet set foot in.
Now the computer appliance retail company has achieved a break-even, Ambrera does not need to continue to invest, from next year can sit on the dividend, so this time to start the listing plan, absorb more capital to join, so that the computer appliance retail company firmly control the position of the industry leader, it is the best time.
The computer and electrical appliance retail company originally planned to issue 20 million shares to the public, but in just three promotion events in New York, investors subscribed more than 50% of the total issuance plan. By the time the computer appliance retail companies went from North America to Europe, to Asia, and finally to Toronto, the issuance of 20 million shares had already been oversubscribed several times.
Even if the computer appliance retail company adjusts the pricing range of the listing issue price from the initial $5-7 to $7-8, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of investors.
The last stop of the global roadshow is scheduled to be at the Financial Street roadshow venue in Toronto, which was arranged at the five-star Hilton Hotel in Toronto.
Ling Shizhe did not participate in any of the global roadshows, and was given full authority to Allison and William. Moes and others, today is the last one, and he doesn't plan to participate, but lets Alison participate on his behalf.
Shares of computer appliance retail companies have been well received by investors, and as the roadshow approach the start of the conference, more and more Canadian investors are flocking to the Hilton hotel to attend the conference. Several elevators in the hotel didn't even have time to transport so many people upstairs that many investors had to wait in line in the lobby.
As the number of investors who came to the roadshow far exceeded expectations, the computer and electrical appliance retail company had to urgently contact the management of the Hilton hotel to open a temporary branch venue. And Alison, who was not ready to go on stage to speak for investors, had to come out urgently to save the scene. He was in charge of the presentation of the main venue, while the original roadshow presenter was sent to the newly opened branch venue.
