Chapter 422: Initial Intention

readx;?“ Xphone sued iPhone for plagiarizing more than 100 of its technology patents and claimed $5 billion from Apple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Apple calls it patent trolls, extortion! ”

Apple recently filed a lawsuit against the partner company for infringing on a number of its intellectual property rights, and demanded $6.3 billion in compensation from the partner company. The small partner company claims that it will not compromise with the evil forces! ”

Apple's iPhone and my partner's Xphone, you sue you, and I sue mine. Depending on the level of their team of lawyers, it is not impossible that the lawsuit may drag on for a long time, from a few years to decades. Because the news of the two accusing each other often appears in the headlines, they are gradually nicknamed "enemies" by many industry insiders.

The two touchscreen mobile phone lawsuits are life-and-death, but in fact, they are all thunder and rain, borrowing from each other, attracting the attention of public opinion, and exempting a lot of advertising costs!

After all, Apple's money-making weapon, the iPhone, has only been on the market for less than a year, and the cumulative sales are only in the millions, and although the profit margin of each phone is high, it is actually only contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to Apple's profits. Therefore, Apple can't afford to burn money for advertising.

The situation of the partner company is similar to Apple, although, standing on the tuyere, the future prospects are limitless. But there is still a huge gap between the physique at this time and the real tech giants, such as Microsoft, IBM, Nokia, etc.

For example, at this time, the traditional mobile phone manufacturers, the annual shipments are hundreds of millions, Nokia as the representative of the traditional mobile phone manufacturers, has not really realized that the touch screen mobile phone, will subvert the mobile phone market, just think, this is a new toy, the pursuit of fashion young people may like, but does not represent the development direction of the mobile phone.

Of course, it turns out that traditional mobile phone manufacturers are wrong! Historically, the traditional mobile phone was the strongest in Europe. In less than ten years, Europe has no local mobile phone brands, because. The mobile phone brands that clingd to the defects have collapsed one after another. Japan's traditional mobile phone manufacturers, also suffered huge losses, and after the market reshuffle, the Japanese mobile phone manufacturers that could have been included in the world's mainstream mobile phone manufacturers have become non-mainstream manufacturers.

Although, Wang Qinian knows. My strategic direction is right, and the timing of launching products is relatively accurate. However, Xphone is still swallowing up a lot of cash flow from the partner company. The advance payment to hardware manufacturers alone exceeded $3 billion!

In this case, although many businesses of the partner company are making money, there are also certain difficulties in turnover.

"Boss, now our small partner value investment company has more than $500 million in self-operated assets, most of which are financial assets available for sale." Zhang Wei of the investment branch said proudly. "Even when the financial crisis broke out this year, we hedged through stock index futures tools, and not only did we have no losses, but we also continued to maintain floating profits! It can be said that even Simmons' Renaissance Company is no more than that! ”

In the 08 U.S. stock market crash, Wall Street investors suffered heavy losses. Of course, there are still bulls, and the bull market makes more money than the people, and the bear market makes more money than the bull market. Like what. Simmons of Renaissance Company, a mathematician, is also the most famous representative of quantitative investment. Its investment model is similar to Graham and Warren Buffett; Peter Lynch, Soros, and any other well-known investor have a different style. He is based on mathematical models, conducting big data analysis and summarizing arbitrage opportunities with high probability of profit. The computer then makes the trade automatically. The company's main staff is nothing more than maintaining the server, constantly researching mathematics, and then, using computer programs to write out a high probability of making money. When the opportunity to make money with a high probability appears, the system automatically captures and trades automatically. Because the opportunity to make money with a high probability is often a few thousandths or a few thousandths of a profit. It was an opportunity that others disdained, but it was seen as an excellent investment opportunity by Simmons' Renaissance Fund. Of course, these opportunities are fleeting, and its funds may be traded hundreds of thousands more times a day. Every time you don't necessarily make money, even if you make it, you make very little, but when all the transactions are superimposed, it is half the performance of the myth! Even in '08, Simmons still made more than 80%, which is more profitable than usual!

But......

Wang Qinian's value investment company makes more money than Simmons!

It's also time to reap a little profit and invest in the company's main business!

Financial assets themselves are just numbers, and only these numbers can be cashed out and converted into real industrial assets, which can be regarded as real assets!

"Sell Apple stock!" Wang Qinian gave instructions to the investment department of the small partner.

If Wang Qinian is not a reborn, then the best choice may be to hold Apple shares for a long time.

With the launch of Apple's iPhone, the stock price has risen above $100. Even in the early days of the financial crisis, Apple's stock fell sharply, but it was very resilient to other companies. And, after the big fall, Apple will hit new highs. Sell it now and regret it in the future, because in a few years' time, the price will far exceed the high price now.

However, the small partner company holds 1 million shares of Apple, and has done some swing operations over the years, and the cost has reached $5 per share. Now selling has made more than ten times more and made hundreds of millions of dollars!

Of course, Wang Qinian knows that this is still too early to sell, and Apple's stock price can rise six times in the future!

But that's been many years later, and now, sell off that part of the stock. Wang Qinian is confident that the benefits that can be obtained in the future by investing in the mobile phone business of the partner company are far more than 6 times......

In addition to cashing out Apple's shares, many overseas assets of the partner company have been cashed out. In the end, another $300 million was squeezed out to support the main business of the partner company.

The remaining positions are only domestic A-shares, as well as Tencent, Baidu and other "non-sale" stocks in Wang Qinian's eyes, which will absorb a little more in the future and will not be easily sold. Although it is impossible to acquire, it is also possible to send one or two people from small partner companies to settle in the two giants as directors. One or two directors, it is unlikely to have a decisive influence, but at least some influence on these giants.

Secondly, it is the margin of short positions in some multi-million dollar stock index futures, not only in the United States stocks, Hong Kong stocks, but also in the stock markets of Europe, Japan, South Korea and other countries. However, in an environment where the world has fallen sharply, these stock index futures with more than 10 times leverage can also contribute a lot of harvest to small partner companies.

Wang Qinian has already planned that he will not inject the principal into the financial investment branch in the future. In the future, the funds of financial investment companies will mainly come from their own investment profits, and if they cannot make profits, the parent company will not give them an additional penny.

If the investment branch makes too much profit, it will also be required to hand over the profits to the parent company to support other businesses of the parent company.

The allocation of financial assets is strictly stipulated to be less than 20% of the total assets of the partner company. This part of the asset is not allowed, it is too inflated.

To put it simply, let the financial investment sector become a cow that continuously contributes benefits. This is mainly because, Wang Qinian, for the time being, the partner company still has countless promising projects to invest in, and there is no need to rely on finance to rentier!

Once the financial speculation is too successful, the future senior management of the partner company will definitely be investment-related people. The investment business does not require many people, and you do not need to do any business to make money easily. In this way, sooner or later, the small partner company will become a pure financial investment company, and other entertainment, technology and other businesses will be divested.

Since then, the little partner has departed from the original intention of Wang Qinian's establishment!

In the early years, Wang Qinian's slogan was to build an entertainment aircraft carrier that surpassed Disney, and this goal has not changed so far.

The reason why on the basis of entertainment, to add technology and the Internet, because this is the development direction of the times, Disney started in the early days, the world's mainstream entertainment is film and television, so Disney is to do movies, television, and invest in Disneyland, so that it will not rely purely on the film market and TV media market. This is also the difference between Disney and its Hollywood counterparts!

The company is growing rapidly, and Disney's profitability is improving.

But Wang Qinian believes that the partner company will definitely surpass Disney, because at present, he has been moving forward on the right path, and the momentum of development is faster than Disney!

Moreover, before his vision of rebirth fails, he can fly with his little partner company for a few years! (To be continued.) )
