Chapter 214: The Opportunity Comes
Apple and Google have set a psychological maximum price for the Photography Terminator, and Zhang Wenhao also has his own minimum price for this software, that is, no matter what, it will be sold for more than 1.8 billion US dollars, and strive to sell for 2 billion.
It may sound alarmist, a software sells for two billion, and it is still a dollar, but Zhang Wenhao is very optimistic about the price, because he also received the news that Google is now starting to join several partners to fund the acquisition of the Photography Terminator, which means that Android developers, as well as the largest users of Android, have shown a strong interest in this software.
The Internet industry has always been an industry that is very easy to create miracles, and Facebook is one of the most incredible!
A company started from social networking sites, and finally reached the second place of the world's top 500, beyond all the manufacturing industries and energy industries in the world today, subverting countless centuries-old big brand legends.
Boeing is awesome enough, dominating the civil airliner market for decades, and even a large number of military aircraft in the United States are produced by Boeing, but so what? The high technology content is really scary, but compared to profitability, compared to Facebook, it is simply not worth mentioning.
GE General Electric, a national treasure brand of the United States, can be said to be one of the most comprehensive companies in the world, and they can do everything from automobile manufacturing to aerospace. The level of technology is definitely in the leading position in the world, but such a huge industrial kingdom is still difficult to match compared with Facebook.
What is a social networking site that sells for $2 billion?
Zhang Wenhao revealed his reserve price to Huang Yong. 1.8 billion, not sold if it is less than 1.8 billion, if it exceeds 1.8 billion. For the excess, give him a 5% commission.
Don't underestimate the five percent, if it sells to two billion. Then Huang Yong can get 10 million US dollars just for his achievements.
Zhang Wenhao doesn't plan to ask about the rest of the things, and it is a bit too much to negotiate with Huang Yong every day, and now the Internet industry has smelled a hint of wind, they know that Apple and Google launched a huge acquisition plan at the same time, but no one knows who the acquisition is.
This also made Zhang Wenhao somewhat vigilant, Dongchen Software was a shell company that he bought, and then transitioned to his own name. If this acquisition is completed, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the entire IT industry, and the eyes of the whole world will be on Dongchen, and at that time, I am afraid that I will have to surface.
It's just that. It seems that it is too early to surface at this time.
A college student, who was only 20 years old, created a pharmaceutical company with a daily profit of more than 10 million, and then opened a software company in less than a month. launched an excellent software, which sold more than a billion dollars or even more, and Zhang Wenhao really didn't want to be the focus of everyone's eyes.
However, at present, the acquisition negotiations will not last long, and it will not be long before Huang Yong can talk about the purchase price to his ideal price range, and he must hide it before the acquisition is reached.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenhao immediately thought of Su Ruoran's mother Nie Minhui.
Zhang Wenhao has no way of knowing what Nie Minhui does, but he knows that Nie Minhui's ability is extremely great, and if she can erase her relationship with Dongchen Pharmaceutical, she will definitely be able to help her erase the relationship with Dongchen Software.
Immediately, Zhang Wenhao hid from Su Ruoran, made a phone call to Nie Minhui, and said, "Aunt Nie, I have something I want to ask you for help with, when are you free?" I'd like to talk to you individually. ”
Nie Minhui thought that Zhang Wenhao was looking for him about moving the factory, so he said: "That's it, I'll pick you up at your school in the evening, and find a place to sit down and talk slowly." ”
…,
"Okay." Zhang Wenhao responded and said, "Aunt Nie, it's better not to let Ruoran know about this matter for the time being." ”
Nie Minhui agreed and said, "Okay, around nine o'clock in the evening, I'll call you then." ”
After class in the afternoon, Zhang Wenhao and Su Ruoran had dinner together in the cafeteria, and then the two walked for about half an hour, Su Ruoran wanted to go back to the dormitory to read, Zhang Wenhao rode her back, but the time was just half past seven, and the time agreed with Nie Minhui was nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Wenhao also went back to the dormitory, and passed the time on the Internet at will.
Open QQ, QQ's pop-up advertising news column, the biggest headline immediately attracted Zhang Wenhao's attention.
"Volvo is not doing well, and Geely wants to sell it!"
Zhang Wenhao immediately thought that a few years ago, Geely acquired the Volvo car brand that was difficult to operate, and moved the production line into China, at the beginning, industry insiders were not optimistic about Geely's acquisition plan, but in the following two years, due to the Chinese people's localization and localization of Volvo and produced a certain favor, so the business of Volvo car in the hands of Geely gradually began to make profits, but Geely is not a first-class car manufacturer after all, Volvo in their hands, the problem soon became prominent, among them, The biggest problem is: insufficient R&D capabilities!
Geely's own years of experience in car production, on the world stage, is simply not available, they have built a car has always been the third line, that is, belongs to the cheapest scooter, all products, from design to performance to safety, there is no bright spot at all, and they acquired Volvo, but can only stick to the rules, not even a successful new model has not been developed, in this case, Volvo in two years of support, gradually began to be eliminated by the market.
Zhang Wenhao clicked on the details of the news, and found that the facts were really the same as he guessed, Volvo lost its competitiveness in the hands of Geely because of the lack of innovation, and now, Volvo has become a drag on Geely, they have their own stable market share in the scooter market, and the profitability is still very prominent. However, Volvo has now become a burden to them, not only can not make money, but also continue to put money inside, which makes Geely begin to plan to sell Volvo, get rid of this burden, and concentrate on its own scooter market.
Geely after acquiring Volvo for $1.8 billion. Volvo's production line is divided into two parts, one is the final assembly line, which is located in Chongqing. The other is the engine production line, which is located in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province. It is very close to Yanjing, basically equivalent to being on the edge of Yanjing, professionals estimate that in recent years, the value of Volvo has shrunk seriously, at present, it is very good to be able to sell for 1.3 billion US dollars, 1.3 billion, if the photography terminator is sold, Zhang Wenhao can easily take it out.
Zhang Wenhao has perfect future industrial technology. But the most important thing is that there is no way to transform it into a real product, for example, Volkswagen's current 1.4T engine can be said to be the best performance, the most reasonable fuel consumption, and the highest environmental protection level among the small displacement engines. However, if Zhang Wenhao's industrial technology is used to make certain changes to this 1.4T engine and regenerate a new turbocharger, then the performance of this 1.4T engine can be increased by about 50%. Its original performance surpasses most of the 2.0 naturally aspirated engines in terms of torque, and in terms of power, it is slightly lower than the 2.0 engine, but after the transformation, its torque can reach the level of the 2.8T engine, and the power is equivalent to the 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine.
Power, torque and other performance indicators have been greatly improved, but fuel consumption has only increased by less than 10%, almost negligible, such an engine, in ten or twenty years later is just the choice of ordinary scooters, but if it can be produced in the contemporary era, it can definitely dominate all medium-sized car markets!
…,
If Volvo's own 2.0T engine is upgraded to a new generation of technology, then this engine can definitely be compared to BMW Mercedes-Benz and other first-line brands, V6-3.0T engine, that is to say, at that time, directly used in Volvo XC60, the performance can reach the level of Volkswagen Touareg, if used in S80, you can catch up with BMW 730, Mercedes-Benz S350 in performance.
Zhang Wenhao was a little excited, Geely's intention to sell Volvo is definitely an excellent opportunity for him to enter the industry!
Every Chinese person has a knot of industrial science and technology, Zhang Wenhao is the same, he is eager to one day, he can build a world-leading industrial kingdom, at that time, whether it is Toyota or Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and then to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Siemens, General Electric and Boeing, Airbus, I am afraid it is not their opponents.
The embodiment of technology in industry is too obvious, just like today's large passenger aircraft engine technology, Rollslas, General Electric and Pratt & Whitney are basically at the same level, but if there is an aircraft engine that can reach their power, or even higher than their power, but fuel consumption can be reduced by at least 30 to 40 percent, then what kind of situation will these three companies face?
I am afraid that when the time comes, this engine alone, can change the world's civil aviation pattern, major airlines will force the head of all the aircraft to replace the latest engine, and then, the significant decline in air freight costs will bring higher profit margins to airlines, the cost of reduction, can be accompanied by a reduction in air ticket prices, fuel surcharge prices, will greatly improve the competitiveness of aircraft in short and medium-distance travel, and can also compete with the growing development of high-speed railways.
If the Internet industry is an industry that is good at creating miracles, then industrial technology is an industry that can change the world in minutes! In terms of earning ability, the former has an excellent advantageous position, but in terms of a sense of achievement, no one can compare to the latter!
It was also at this time that Zhang Wenhao set himself the first goal of entering the industry, that is, to acquire Volvo!
At present, no one dares to buy Volvo unless it falls to the price of cabbage, that is because no one is sure that this half-dead brand can be re-operated, but Zhang Wenhao is not afraid, he has industrial technology from the future, what is lacking is just the conditions for converting it into reality
At nine o'clock in the evening, Nie Minhui drove a Rolls-Royce on time and parked at the gate of Yanda, Zhang Wenhao had been waiting here for about ten minutes, as soon as the car stopped, he saw Nie Minhui sitting in the car, and hurriedly opened the co-pilot's door and got in.
"Aunt Nie." Zhang Wenhao greeted politely, but Nie Minhui asked with some curiosity: "Wenhao, you are in such a hurry to see me." What the hell is there to discuss with me? ”
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said, "It's a long story, let's find a place to talk slowly." ”
In a private club only a dozen kilometers away from Yanda, Nie Minhui took Zhang Wenhao into a business suite that he had inherent here, where there was a conference room, a reception room, a study and a living room, Zhang Wenhao and Nie Minhui sat on the sofa together, and the service staff brought tea. He retreated, and at this time, Nie Minhui spoke: "Okay." It's very private here, and if there's anything you have, you can feel free to say it boldly. ”
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly. After organizing the language, he said: "Aunt Nie, I registered a software company in Yanjing some time ago, called Dongchen Technology Development Co., Ltd., and now, I have a software in hand, and I have begun to negotiate with Google about the acquisition intention, and Apple is also interested in acquiring it, but I am not satisfied with the price they gave." So, now I'm leaning towards a deal with Google. ”
"Oh?" Nie Minhui was very surprised and asked, "Wen Hao, when did you start working in the software industry?" ”
…,
Zhang Wenhao smiled: "Some time ago, I happened to sign a line with a development team, and then I provided funds, and they developed a software for me. ”
Zhang Wenhao naturally can't say that the software was developed by himself. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to give Nie Minhui a reasonable explanation, after all, in her opinion, there are enough secrets on her body, and many things make Nie Minhui unable to figure it out. If she knew that she had developed a software that could sell for at least a billion dollars, I am afraid she would not have accepted it.
When Nie Minhui heard Zhang Wenhao's words, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "The two industries you are involved in now have nothing to do with each other!" As she spoke, Nie Minhui asked, "Then what is the specific matter when you are looking for me?" ”
Zhang Wenhao said: "I want to ask you to do me a favor and hide my relationship with Dongchen Technology, otherwise, if the acquisition intention is reached, after signing the contract, I am afraid that I will encounter a lot of trouble." ”
"Really?" Nie Minhui asked in surprise, "Is it so serious?" Isn't the software industry booming in this era? There are various acquisitions all day long. ”
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said with an embarrassed smile: "That's right, but if this software is really sold, I'm afraid it will become the focus of the industry." ”
Nie Minhui asked curiously, "Have you estimated how much the transaction price is?" ”
When Nie Minhui asked this question, she already had a general position in her heart, thinking that since Zhang Wenhao had found herself, the value of this software would be at least more than 10 million yuan, right? Otherwise, there is no need to hide his relationship with the company from himself.
However, Zhang Wenhao's next words made Nie Minhui stunned.
Zhang Wenhao said: "My transaction floor is $1.8 billion, and I am still uncertain how much I can talk about." ”
"What ?!?"
Nie Minhui was dumbfounded for a moment, and she didn't react for a long time!
1.8 billion US dollars, more than 10 billion yuan! Now in this year, if you want to earn more than 10 billion yuan, it is difficult for many successful entrepreneurs to do it in a lifetime, Zhang Wenhao is so much money, even if it is a person with a net worth like Nie Minhui, it is difficult to accept.
Nie Minhui couldn't help asking, "Wen Hao, are you sure it's $1.8 billion??? This price is just wishful thinking on your part, right? ”
Zhang Wenhao shook his head and said, "This price is definitely achievable." ”
Nie Minhui was still incredulous, and blurted out, "Are you really sure?" ”
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "It is certain that because this software is of great significance to Apple and Google, whoever gets it will be able to completely trample the other party under their feet!" ”
"OMG!" It took Nie Minhui about five minutes to gradually calm down from the shock, and seeing that Zhang Wenhao didn't seem to be joking at all, she believed most of it in her heart, so she asked, "How much of the 1.8 billion US dollars do you have for yourself?" ”
Zhang Wenhao thought to himself, since he had already told Nie Minhui frankly, there was no need for him to hide it, so he said: "I account for 100%, I have already paid for the development of the team, it is an exclusive buyout, and now, how much money can be sold is my own." ”
"Wen Hao" Nie Minhui stared at Zhang Wenhao's face and sighed: "You know how many businessmen who think they are very successful will be so angry that they vomit blood!" In just a few months, you have made a daily profit of more than 10 million Dongchen Pharmaceutical from hundreds of thousands of net worth, and then in the future, it is not difficult for Dongchen to make a daily profit of 50 million, and the brand value will exceed 10 billion. Zuckerberg can't compare! ”
Zhang Wenhao smiled humbly and said: "There is definitely a big gap compared with them, but I believe that this gap will gradually narrow." ”
Saying that, Zhang Wenhao said: "So I'm worried that once the acquisition is completed, this acquisition will have a great impact on the world, and I am not ready to come to the forefront, so I can only rely on your help in this matter." ”
"There's no problem with that." Nie Minhui opened her mouth and said, "I can help you get it tomorrow, but have you thought about what to do after you get this money?" ”
Zhang Wenhao said: "I have a general idea, but at present, it is not mature." ”
Nie Minhui asked curiously, "Can you reveal a little bit?" Do you continue to concentrate on Dongchen Liquid Medicine, or do you want to do the software industry? Or is it a whole new industry? ”
"A new industry." Zhang Wenhao said: "Wait until this acquisition is reached and after getting the money, if you are still in time, you can start this year!" ”
