The Recording Industry Association's lawsuit against ICQ not only did not have a depressing effect on ICQ's stock price, but stimulated ICQ's stock price to continue to rise?

This fact has driven countless people crazy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I don't understand, what the hell is going on? The 18.55 increase in the stock price on the day made everyone who grabbed ICQ's shares smile crookedly, and it also made the faces of those experts and commentators who had previously sworn that ICQ would suffer Waterloo were swollen: Didn't you say that the stock price of $32.75 is high, and the market will definitely give a reasonable price? So how should the performance of the highest price of $41.79 and the closing price of $38.83 be explained?

There is no explanation, the only explanation is that the market is highly optimistic about ICQ, otherwise it is impossible to have a stock price increase of 18.55, which has not been seen in nearly 10 years.

Some people in the American Recording Industry Association were slapped in the face with "pia~~pia~~", and they deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from ICQ's body, but in the end, it backfired, and ICQ not only didn't care about their threats at all, but aggressively said that they wanted to fight a lawsuit with them.

Of course, there is no problem with a lawsuit, but the premise of a lawsuit is that this lawsuit must be able to bring benefits to itself, but the current situation seems to be a little unpleasant, ICQ is different from other websites that provide pirated MP3 audio file downloads, they themselves do not provide MP3 audio file downloads, they just provide an audio player, from this point of view, the American Recording Industry Association's lawsuit against ICQ is not very reasonable; Second, ICQ, which also controls the discourse of public opinion, called on the government to protect the development of digital music, which was echoed by major websites, and there are faint signs of support from the entire IT field.

At this moment, the American Recording Industry Association, which has always bullied whoever it wants, suddenly found that it seemed to have poked a hornet's nest.

It's a pity that Boss Lin doesn't have time to take care of William at this time. What had become of Fisher's face, his old man's mouth wide open, stunned by Benier's proposal......

"What do you say? You repeat? Buy a Boeing 737 as a business jet for your company? Lin Zheng's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible, I firmly disagree." The company went public, and employees did need incentives, but spending more than $40 million on a business jet? You're crazy about me?! ”

He was sturdy and frightened by Benier's words: the company has just made a lot of money, this guy is actually thinking about building a Boeing 737?

Lin Zheng has sat on the Boeing 737 many times, but he never thought of buying such a thing, why, not to mention the things about take-off approval, those are too far, and the price is tens of millions of dollars, Lin Zheng didn't plan to think about this thing: Lao Tzu can't think about this thing even if he has more money, right?

As for how did the figure of $40 million come out? Lin Zheng heard by chance: Boeing and GE jointly established Boeing business jet company launched the first BBJ business jet based on Boeing 737-700 modification, just a few days ago test flight, in order to promote their own BBJ, Boeing company shamelessly called Lin Zheng, saying that the maximum range of more than 11,400 kilometers of BBJ business jet only needs 28 million US dollars plus 90 million US dollars of decoration costs, if Lin Zheng is willing to place an order now, You can also give a discount (it's true, the price of 98, it took a lot of effort to find out).

For Boeing, a shameless guy, Lin Zheng directly scolded others: Asking Lao Tzu to spend $40 million to buy a plane? It's not like that's how you burn bags when you have money!

Benier's face smiled like a flower, a brilliant chrysanthemum, or a golden chrysanthemum: "No, no, no, it's not like yours, a fool would buy a BBJ, I mean we can buy a second-hand Boeing 737 for modification, just like your Gulfstream II-SP, a 10-year-old second-hand Boeing 737 only costs $2 million......"

"What do you say? A 10-year-old used Boeing 737 costs only $2 million? Lin Zheng, who was still angry and resolutely refused to agree just now, was stunned all of a sudden: $2 million? Boeing 737? How can it be?

Yes, that's right, it's 1998, and the market price of a brand new Boeing 737-500/600 is about $25 million to $28 million, and a Boeing 737-400 10 years ago was sold for about $15 million, but for an airplane, 10 years old is like a second-hand car that has only been driven for three or four years and is very well maintained, and it is in the "golden age" of the use of this aircraft, and it doesn't look like it can be bought for $2 million.

"$2.8 million, Boeing 747-400, to be precise, the age of the aircraft is only 9 years and 8 months, I have inquired about it," Benier's expression was proud: "I estimate that I can get it for up to $2.4 million." ”

He knew that Lin Zheng was more taboo about the number "250".

"More than $2 million ......"

More than 2 million US dollars to buy a Boeing 747-400 that is in the "golden age", I have to say that Lin Zheng is really moved.

Motivation is only one of the reasons, on the other hand, it is also necessary to give employees some incentives.

ICQ employees have persevered for so long and gnawed on the nest for so long, why? Isn't it just that I hope that the stock price will rise sharply after ICQ is listed, the company will be rich, and the boss will wave his hand to let the big guy "spend the difference"?

Now, as everyone wishes, the company is listed, according to the current trend, it will not take long for the employee shares in everyone's hands to make everyone become millionaires, millionaires and even multimillionaires, but this is not enough, as a world-class IT company, Lin Zheng is very clear that employees have a higher pursuit in their hearts: we want to let our opponents, let the entire industry know that we ICQ is the best, and it is a great honor to work in ICQ.

How do you maintain this sense of glory? Those big companies and big groups have set a good example: business jets.

What is Face? What is belonging? What does it mean to be honored? When you are still traveling on a public flight, when we go out, we take our own company's plane, which is called face, go out to negotiate with other companies, when you walk down the ramp of your company's plane, look at the envy, jealousy and hatred in the eyes of the other party, your own employees not only have a much harder waist than the opponent, but the satisfaction in your heart can burst out: I have been busy for so long, isn't it for this?

Don't think that only we Chinese talk about face, foreigners actually pay more attention to face, otherwise why are the larger companies, large groups, and large consortia more paying attention to these?

More than 2 million US dollars to buy a business jet for modification, this is a typical low investment, high return, Lin Zheng almost didn't have to think for too long, and immediately nodded: "More than 2 million US dollars? That's not to be considered......"

As for the use and maintenance of the aircraft after it is bought, Lin Zheng is not very worried, his current Gulfstream II-SP will be rented out to the business jet leasing company in his spare time, and the actual annual expenditure is less than 300,000 US dollars, which is indeed "good quality and cheap" for such a large aircraft...... This is still the situation that the frequency of use is relatively high, some private jets with relatively low frequency of use, the annual income for leasing can not only be the same as the driving support, and even a slight surplus, if you really want to buy a Boeing 737-400 for modification, this aircraft can also be done in the same way.

Benier immediately nodded like a pug: "That's right, the price of $2 million is not expensive at all, boss, if you miss this time, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future." ”

That's right, but the price of ......" is too cheap, and Lin Zheng is a little worried: "How can a Boeing 747-400 less than 10 years old be so cheap?" ”

"The plane belonged to Philippine Airlines, which is now on the verge of bankruptcy and urgently needs to raise funds to save the company's fortunes."

It turned out that this was the case, and Lin Zheng understood it immediately.

Although the financial crisis that swept through Southeast Asia last year first broke out in Thailand, if the extent of the financial crisis is measured by the depreciation of national currencies in the second half of last year and the percentage decline in stock price indexes, the most seriously injured is not Thailand, which first broke out of the crisis, but Indonesia and South Korea, South Korea's currency depreciation is as high as 100%, but this is not the worst, the worst is Indonesia, their currency depreciation reached 200% at the peak. Of course, countries such as the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia are not much better, with currencies depreciating by more than 70%.

In the transportation industry, the aviation industry is definitely the most sensitive to financial fluctuations, although the situation of the aviation industry in Southeast Asian countries is not very well, but Lin Zheng firmly believes that the aviation companies in these countries are definitely not having a good time, layoffs and cost reduction are inevitable, and it is not impossible to sell aircraft.

But after all, it is millions of dollars, for the sake of insurance, Lin Zheng still said cautiously: "Let's inquire carefully, it's best to inquire about the situation of airlines in the entire Southeast Asian region, and help me contact a business jet modification company, I want to talk to them." ”

"No problem!" Benier walked away excitedly.

In just a few minutes, there was a loud cheer outside—and Benier couldn't wait to announce the news. r1152
