Chapter 209: Splitting Seiko
Adolph. Cal. Schneider left with excitement, originally he was holding a gamble, but he didn't expect to succeed, it seems that Ling Shizhe is very determined to enter the high-end spare parts of the automobile! I didn't expect the public to have the opportunity to get involved in the field of semiconductor equipment manufacturing.
Ambrera Precision Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the world's largest and most famous semiconductor chip equipment manufacturing company, lithography machine, etching machine, suspension zone melting preparation process for monocrystalline silicon, 24-inch wafer preparation process, CMOS chip preparation process, metal organic chemical vapor deposition equipment, silane pyrolysis high-purity polysilicon process, vapor phase bottoming film vacuum oven, automatic orbital gluing equipment, plasma degumming machine, ion implantation doping system, How much wealth does the newly developed intelligent chip testing and packaging line and a series of high-precision chip equipment bring to Ambrera every year?
If nothing else, for 24-inch wafers alone, Ambrera Precision Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will sell no less than 300,000 pieces this year, at $389 per piece, and silicon wafers alone will bring Ambrera $116.7 million in revenue every year. If Volkswagen can really succeed in taking a stake in Ambrera's Seiko division, the annual dividend alone can make up for Volkswagen's annual deficit.
Not to mention Schneider's excitement, after the successful listing of the computer appliance retail company in Nastark, Ling Shizhe answered the Raccoon Town headquarters.
"Boss, congratulations, the computer appliance retail company has successfully gone public, do you know, just yesterday, the company's stock has risen to $18 per share, and the company's total market value has exceeded $1.7 billion (I made a mistake when I said that the market value of more than $4 billion was wrong, it should be $1.46 billion)." As soon as she got back to the office, Alison ran past to congratulate her.
The computer appliance retail company opened at $7 on June 15 and closed at $14.6 on the same day, and by the time Ling Shizhe returned to Canada yesterday, it had risen to $18 per share.
Citibank and Goldman Sachs "greenshoe mechanism" to place another 5 million shares of computer and electrical retail companies to the market. The "greenshoe mechanism" is a colloquial term for the "over-allotment option", and the stock underwriter will give the brokerage an option clause when signing an underwriting agreement with a listed company. Within 30 days from the date of listing of the shares, the underwriter may, at the same issue price, issue a portion of the shares more than the predetermined size.
The "greenshoe mechanism" is generally only activated by the brokerage firm when the shares of listed companies are warmly sought after by the market. Brokers can obtain additional income in this way, and listed companies can suppress the excessively rising stock price by increasing the amount of issuance, and at the same time expand the total amount of funds raised.
Although Ling Shizhe is in Canada, Hong Kong has been detonated by the news from Wall Street.
"The shares of the technology store are sought after, and the value of the Ling family has skyrocketed!"
"The computer appliance retail company went public to raise 32 billion Hong Kong dollars!"
"The opening bidding took 70 minutes, and the market value of the computer appliance retail company exceeded 30 billion!"
When the computer and electrical retail company went public, the Hong Kong media sent a strong press corps to Washington, D.C., to report on the listing of the computer and electrical retail company. As soon as the stock market opened, reporters from all walks of life immediately transmitted the stock price report back to Hong Kong.
Last year, Ambrera's global sales exceeded $20 billion, and there was a big report in the Hong Kong media that the wealth of the seventh member of the Ling family had far surpassed that of his father Ling Zhigao. Many newspapers are speculating about how much money Ling Shizhe has, and this time after the computer appliance retail company went public, all the media had an intuitive understanding.
Based on the opening price of $7 per share, the market value of the 60 million shares held by the Ambrera Group is as high as 420 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and at the latest 18 US dollars, the value of Ambrella's shares in the computer appliance retail company is more than 1 billion US dollars, and the total market value of the company is more than 1.7 billion US dollars.
Before the listing, the Hong Kong media knew that Ling Shizhe was a billionaire billionaire, and gave him the title of "Ling Chaoren", and this time Ling Shizhe was directly named the "God of Wealth" by the media, and even the previous surname was canceled, and now Hong Kong except Ling Shizhe Who is qualified to be called the "God of Wealth", so when the Hong Kong media talks about the "God of Wealth", of course, they refer to him Ling Shizhe.
The newspapers were like chickens, frantically chasing all the news about Ling Shizhe.
Ling Shizhe is indeed worthy of the title of "God of Wealth", because he is the real richest man in Hong Kong, as for whether it is two things to say in Southeast Asia, but his rise speed is definitely the world's highest on this planet, Morgan, Luckfeller, Buffett, Eastman. Kodak and others are not comparable to him, and it is not decades of hard work to start a business, but he Ling Shizhe completed it in less than ten years.
This listing for the benefit of the movement of William. He holds 327,000 shares of a computer appliance retail company, which alone is worth more than $5.88 million, and if you count the annual salary and bonuses, his annual income will exceed $10 million, which is the absolute top salary in the United States in the seventies, and there are few professional managers in the world who have such a high salary, except for Rock Welch in the future.
Pouring a cup of green tea for Alison, Ling Shizhe sat opposite him and said, "Volkswagen wants to take a stake in the Seiko department, and I agreed, but I asked that I also take a stake in Volkswagen." ”
"Boss, do you want to annex Volkswagen like Bombardier?"
Alison has been with Ling Shizhe for a long time, knows his character very well, in order to develop the driving computer, Ling Shizhe also specially "designed" an engine, if he did not have no ideas about the automobile industry, he would not believe it.
Ling Shizhe shook his head and said: "Volkswagen is not Bombardier, he is too big, and he is the largest car manufacturer in Europe, the German government will not let us swallow Volkswagen, I think about how to become the largest shareholder of Volkswagen, no matter how bad it is, it must be the second." In this way, the company's ECUs do not have to worry about finding buyers. ”
Alison saluted a cigarette, lit it for Ling Shizhe, and said: "Boss, I agree with investing in an automobile company, but have you thought about it, Volkswagen has been going downhill all these years, and they have been losing money for almost 5 years." ”
"5 and 36 days, to be exact." Ling Shizhe corrected: "Now in addition to Japanese cars, which car companies in Europe and the United States are not losing money, and Volkswagen's losses are in addition to the factors of the Bray Forest system and the oil crisis, and I think the biggest problem is that it is a state-run factor." ”
"Boss, are you betting that the German government will privatize Volkswagen?"
"It is obvious that the West German government will do the same sooner or later if it continues to lose money. They can't keep paying for the losses of the public. ”
"If that's the case, then the boss, then we have to plan well, first of all, we have to divide the Seiko enterprise into two, ECU, ABS, ESC, precision solenoid control valves and other technologies from the Ambrera Seiko equipment manufacturing enterprises, and then set up a separate company and then cooperate with Volkswagen. We want to get the most out of the public, and there is only one way, so that the public can continue to lose money.
As for the Mercury engine (Mitsubishi 4G63 motive), don't take it out, this engine is so good, it will definitely hit its idea when it is seen by the public, if the Mercury engine is used in their new Golf, maybe the Volkswagen will turn a profit, and then we will sit on wax. ”
Ling Shizhe agrees with Alison's point of view, but no, if the people of Volkswagen see this Mitsubishi 4G63 engine in the previous life, they will definitely propose a production authorization to Ling Shizhe, even if they can't get the authorization, they will ask Ambrera to provide them with a Mercury engine, because you are also a shareholder of Volkswagen, you should make a contribution to the development of Volkswagen, and then Ling Shizhe will give it or not?
give, it is clear that you are at a loss; If you don't give it, the other party will suspect that you have ulterior motives for investing in Volkswagen, and then his wishful thinking will all fail, so you have to hide this engine no matter what.
"Boss, one more thing, since you have decided to enter the high-end automotive parts industry, the development of automotive gearboxes and chassis should also be on the agenda."
"Aren't we already working on the gearbox? I think it's better to forget about the car chassis, Volkswagen itself will not produce car chassis, will it still use ours? ”
Alison shook her head and said, "Boss, you don't understand what I mean, we're making gearboxes, but it's just motorcycles, I'm talking about car gearboxes." As a supplier of high-end auto parts, automotive chassis technology is a difficult hurdle that must be overcome, such as Dr., which develops automotive chassis technology and then licenses it to those automobile companies. The reason for this is to leave a way out for himself, and once the car companies abandon him, the doctor will take the technology to the next manufacturer, or make the car himself. ”
Allison's words woke up Ling Shizhe, Allison was right, the doctor company in later generations has always done this, all the spare parts on the car can be produced, and building a car is just a question of whether the doctor wants to build it. The reason why Dr. wants to take this approach, in addition to the economic interest factor, the most important thing is that these large automobile manufacturers have their own auto parts factories.
They could leave Dr. alone anytime and anywhere, and the car company was afraid of another competitor in the market, so the two sides reached a compromise, and they bought spare parts from Ph.D. in exchange for not entering the automotive industry.
In this way, I have to insert a lever into the gearbox and chassis of the car anyway, the ECU looks high-end, but the real core is still in the algorithm and database of the software.
Generally, when a car company buys an ECU, the manufacturer will release the source code of the ECU to them, so that the car company can develop the ECU software management system and launch its own new algorithm according to the engine technology they are developing.
ECU upgrade does not refer to a change ECU, but to the original ECU software upgrade, that is, everyone commonly known as "brush" ECU, for example, a BMW car, his original ECU is 1.0 version, and then the engineer found a new algorithm, this new algorithm than the original algorithm, can greatly improve the engine fuel efficiency and economy, we call it 2.0 for the time being, the owner took the car to the 4S shop, the ECU original control software was upgraded from 1.0 to 2.0, and the car re-"brushed". "After the ECU, the performance of the car has improved significantly, and this process is called "brushing" the ECU.
ECU generally takes 5 to 7 years from R&D to production, and some take more than 10 years (depending on what car you are, if it is Maybach, Leslaus, 10 years is not necessarily enough), not that the hardware and software development of ECU is difficult, the difficulty lies in the various calibration data with the computer and the matching engine, which is an extremely boring and long-term work.
Manufacturers must strictly formulate the development process, do a good job in software testing, and encounter problems must be seriously changed without fooling, in order to do a good job in the software and hardware of the ECU, and the automobile company will sell your ECU, which is a reason for the development of CNC machine tools.
"Alison, I have a gearbox in mind, but it's manual, and there's anything you have to teach me about an automatic gearbox?"
