Chapter Seventy-Four: Ancient Dragons
"You're here!"
"I'm coming."
"You shouldn't have come."
"You seem to know I'm coming."
"There is no better place to come than you."
"Stop, can we have a normal conversation, this is too ancient dragon body!" Ye Tianhao raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Seems like you started first." Chen Bo pursed his lips, and then said, "Ye Dashao came to the cold house, there is a disappointment, forgive the sins!" ”
"Don't drag the text with me." Ye Tianhao waved his hand and said, "You know why I came, if you refuse people thousands of miles away, I won't care about you." ”
"What about the conditions? At least Xiao Bu Shi also sent me an oil and gas field. You cheated me so much, you almost took my nickname. A word that is not salty or light will send me away? Chen Bo said dissatisfied.
"Ahem, I'm not under a lot of pressure. After listening to your words, I sold Pangu's shares as soon as possible, and although I didn't lose anything and got out, my family thought that I had teamed up with you to pit Tianyi. ”
"What the hell does that matter? I'm the victim, okay. Chen Bo spread his hands and said helplessly, "Even if he dies, he deserves it, and you have one less inheritance competitor." ”
"Yes, yes. You're right! "On someone else's side, Ye Tianhao doesn't have the upper hand at all, and he doesn't have a proud temper." As long as you give in, the higher authorities will no longer interfere in your business, but you must keep a low profile. The Ministry of Commerce has made personnel adjustments and changes, and Huatou has also been forced to purge a wave. ”
"Where's your family?"
"Nonsense, of course you have to obey the instructions from above, what era do you think this is?" Ye Tianhao glared at him, and he didn't have a good breath.
"Cheng, I will send the specific plan to your mailbox next month, and a private bidding will be held in Dubai in January, and you will study what to do first."
"Hmm. That's pretty much it! Ye Tianhao nodded, counting as an agreement. It is obviously impossible to completely concede, and they are not the only ones who are staring at it, and it is also an overseas island far from their homeland, and it is obviously unrealistic to rely on feelings alone to win over, and this time it will inevitably be a big blood.
No matter how special the location of Atlantis is, it must also consider the priority, Britain, the United States, France and other countries have no shortage of overseas territories, and the desire for them must be lower.
It is particularly important for China, which is growing in international status. Africa's abundant minerals make up for the lack of domestic resources, and copper, aluminum, and iron ore all need to be transferred from the continent, and if you can have a port here, you won't be at the mercy of people all day long.
On the one hand, it can penetrate into the Middle East and affect the international situation in West Asia, and on the other hand, it can improve its control over East Africa.
In the 70s, the whole country could help build the Tanzan Railway, and it is not difficult to see the precautions and foresight.
The designer who landed on the island has come up with a draft of the construction party as quickly as possible, so the next step is naturally to bid. Whether it is a mule or a horse has to be put on the stage to talk clearly before we can choose the opportunity to treat each other, and eating meat or drinking soup is all in one thought.
Of course, this will not be carried out in the name of the state, and it is inevitable that each party will send its loyal and reliable agency to operate in the dark, and at least face is still required.
Li Shusen has already got a specific plan, and he still needs to prepare before he can go to Dubai, but no one knows about this yet. Otherwise, he would not have found Ye Tianhao, the middleman, to fly to Los Angeles to play the emotional card with Chen Bo after repeatedly encountering a wall.
But since he came, Chen Bo didn't plan to let him go like this, and signed an OEM contract at a very low price.
What kind of work is it for? Mobile phones, of course.
European and American countries naturally do not look down on domestic mobile phone brands, after the integration of telecommunications, the first to enter Southeast Asia and the Middle East, India also has a previous subsidiary, but the business volume is not large.
Shirley implements the policy of open source and cost reduction, which is to reduce the cost of equipment erection, and all the telecom equipment of Huawei, ZTE and Datang are used outside Europe, which is more than two-thirds lower than that of traditional telecom giants such as Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and Alcatel.
After that, we will expand our revenue, actively promote the SP value-added business in Europe, and cooperate with travel companies to sell short-term phone cards to tourists at low prices. London and Paris alone can host up to 30 million travellers a year, and even if two-thirds of them are in a group, how much revenue can be generated if a phone card sells for 5 euros? But the cost didn't increase much.
In addition, it signed a contract with a first-line brand mobile phone manufacturer to build a customized machine, which is not a new thing, and various telecommunications companies also have it.
However, Orange launched a 0 yuan customization, all of which are returned in the form of package gifts, unlike other companies that simply sell mobile phones and some small services that come with them, so as to attract more loyal users through mobile terminals.
And in the mobile phones sold, free or paid services such as orange search and wireless games are also implanted, and you can also make a fortune.
For Europe, it is natural that brands such as Nokia and Motorola, and the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia plan to launch the local tyrant Vertu with gold and diamonds, while for developing countries, such as Jordan, Thailand, India, Malaysia and Indonesia, these places are obviously dominated by cheap mobile phones, after all, the market is different, and the demand is different.
The mobile phones produced by Ye Tianhao's factory are only sold to third- and fourth-tier cities in China, and there is no difficulty in helping Orange OEM to make customized machines. Although the net profit of a mobile phone is only about 8 euros, it is completely profitable, and the loss is not enough.
Although Chen Bo left the management of the orange company, the company's performance did not stop moving forward, especially after owning orange telecom, which greatly stimulated the nerves of European users, and then the rising tide made the market share in the region surpass Yahoo in one fell swoop, and got a share of as high as 37%, only 8 percentage points behind Google.
Although it has lost its inherent territory in Greater China, and although it has changed from ants to oranges, it is the hegemon of the local Internet market in both West Asia and Southeast Asia. Not to mention the performance of the Japanese and South Korean markets, the market capitalization is already close to $8 billion, judging from the strong momentum of the sectors that led the rally immediately after its listing in Tokyo.
Although there is still a gap of several times compared with Yahoo Japan, led by SoftBank, there is no possibility of catching up. After all, one is a comprehensive portal that is almost all-inclusive, and the other is only a search service and the social function of Mixi.com.
The most competitive search market is in North America, which is not only supported by Silicon Valley's technology, but also has a strong business atmosphere.
Google's share alone has grown 137% year-over-year in the first three quarters, and its combined profits for the first three quarters have exceeded $1 billion. At present, the utilization rate of the search market is still high in the United States, and the world's only superpower is not blown.
This is also a direct reflection of the frenzy of the stock market, with Google's total market capitalization exceeding $50 billion, double that of its IPO a year ago.
Coupled with the large-scale acquisition of YouTube, the market outlook is further optimistic, and Wall Street analysts have predicted that Google will exceed the 100 billion market capitalization mark in the next three years, and send a strong market signal to hold.
What about the much-anticipated oranges? If you only look at the financial report of the company's entire revenue, it is actually in a loss-making state, after the acquisition of McLaren Group and the acquisition of Orange Telecom. Total revenue is definitely qualified to enter the threshold of the top 500, and Orange alone reached 5 billion euros in revenue in the first three quarters, but the profit is negative. Because Shirley Investment's funds in the Middle East and Southeast Asia offset the net profit of 600 million euros in the first half of the year.
McLaren is also temporarily only in and out, and its contribution to revenue is only about 300 million euros, which is useless.
At the end of October, Raikkonen won the first championship, McLaren, which had not tasted the championship for a long time, defeated Renault Racing and reached the top, and also opened the first McLaren 4S store in mainland China.
I have to say that there is a huge loss of nearly 100 million pounds, and the acquisition of Cosworth Engine also costs money, which is also the most criticized of Chen Bo's so many acquisitions, and almost no one is optimistic about this deal.
If you just look at the performance of the orange company on the Internet, it is amazing. Firefox and Thunderbird began to fight each other, Orange Photo Album PK Picasa, Orange Satellite VS Google Earth, and even the strangely shaped street view cars began to appear on the streets, all of which were printed with the logos of the two companies.
In this case, the total revenue of Orange Search in the first three quarters has exceeded 1.6 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth rate of 148%, not only outperforming Yahoo, but also outperforming Google, but these data are not known to outsiders.
Although the old rival Yahoo has lost in the search market and lost a mess, it still has a lot of gains on the Yahoo blog and Yahoo video, and the rich network content is Yahoo's strength, and the world's No. 1 portal has not yet reached the stage of history.
After entering November, the orange company once again brushed its presence after several months of silence, and quickly announced the privatization of Maidong Music on the NASDAQ.
What is privatization? It is a shareholder who makes a takeover offer to the public shareholders and applies for delisting in the stock market. Only with the shares of this company can it be called privatization, and if it does not, it can only be called an acquisition.
The pace of this privatization was quite fast, not only did all the public shares be recovered, but even the previous investors were cleared out of the company, and it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the orange company, and immediately reorganized into a member of the orange entertainment division, which is still under the full responsibility of Guan Xinlai.
Interestingly, the new division is not located in Silicon Valley, but in Los Angeles in southern California.
Before the spectators could react, Orange Entertainment, which had completed the restructuring, then dropped a big bomb on the music industry in early December, and the French Vivendi Group confirmed that it had received its $5.4 billion application to acquire Universal Music, and the plan will be evaluated in the near future.
