It is worth mentioning that in the first quarter of 2008, Huawei's revenue increased instead of falling, and its sales in the first quarter reached 4.827 billion US dollars, of which 75% came from overseas markets.

The key is that the company is maintaining double-digit growth, and if this momentum continues, the annual sales of the company in 2008 will exceed 23 billion US dollars.

Some of the real economy has been violently impacted, but the main business of Huawei is the communication business has not been affected at all, the overall scale of the industry is rising, and the competitiveness of Huawei is greater this year, because of the arrival of the economic winter, customers do not have much money.

It is said that in the bidding of an order, the opponent bid 20 billion, and the ploughshare bid 10 billion directly, and the competitor was stupid on the spot.

Can this still be profitable?

But if you dare to take it, it means that there must be some profits to be made.

In a sense, the economic winter has brought a boost to Huawei, because communication infrastructure is a must for all countries.

However, Bluestar Technology's life this year is definitely not as good as last year, and the company is ready to lose money throughout the year.

Unless the cloud computing business can bring surprises.

Bluestar Technology Group is thankful that the annual revenue in 2008 can maintain about 20 billion US dollars, and 15 billion US dollars is acceptable, but if the annual revenue is less than 15 billion US dollars, it will have to reduce spending.

If you don't reduce your expenses and continue to expand your business, you will need to borrow money to live, and Luo Sheng doesn't have to worry about this.

Even if he borrowed money, he would not go to the bank to borrow money, and the bank did not lend him so much money now, because it was not a small amount of hundreds of millions to borrow money from the bank.

Therefore, if Bluestar Technology wants to borrow money, it must be Luo Sheng who borrows his own money, because he now has more than 40 billion US dollars in cash available at any time.

The crisis of the capital chain caused by the economic winter is unlikely to happen to him, so the company will not open up sources and reduce expenditure, but will take this opportunity to expand its business on a global scale.

With the release of the first quarter report of this year, the company's stock fell in response, and the market value of after-hours trading fell to $139.5 billion on the same day.

Seeing that the company's stock price continues to dive, from $207.1 billion at its peak to less than $140 billion now, Zhang Bowen can't help but buy it back, but fortunately, with the big boss Luo Sheng pressing, he is calmer than everyone else.

The market value of Bluestar Technology Group will not fall below the 100 billion yuan mark, and Luo Sheng will definitely not make a move.

Interestingly, this incident made Marvel Comics anxious, for fear that Bluestar Technology's current performance would be poor, and it would give up the merger and acquisition in order to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

……

On the morning of April 18, Avi Arad, who came in a hurry, finally landed at Huaguo Shencheng International Airport, and went straight to Sioux City for the first time to visit the headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group after reversing the jet lag that day, and did not even eat breakfast.

If it weren't for the late hour, he would have even wanted to visit him directly after getting off the plane.

To Arad's surprise, he thought that the person he met with this time would be Zhang Bowen.

The result was Luo Sheng.

Zhang Bowen is the No. 2 person in the group company, and he is the one who handles the specific facts, he is much busier than Luo Sheng.

The place where the two sides met was not at the headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group, but at the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur company, because today Luo Sheng is on the Cote d'Azur.

At this moment, in the company's reception room, Luo Sheng is interviewing with Avi Arad, the head of Marvel Comics.

"$1.6 billion, 67% of the equity, we are willing to sell, as long as you nod yes, tomorrow we can submit documents to the federal Department of Justice." After the meeting, Arad got straight to the point.

It's really too late.

Without waiting for Luo Sheng to respond, Avi Arad hurriedly added: "But in the form of this acquisition, we hope to achieve it through cross-shareholding, and pay for it in the form of shares of Bluestar Technology Group plus some cash." ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled in his heart, he didn't expect it to really fit the minds of both parties, and the senior management of Marvel Comics still seems to have a bit of vision, and taking the initiative to make such a request is to see the future potential of Bluestar Technology Group?

"No problem, that's it." Luo Sheng didn't think much about it, and immediately gave him a response.

With the cross-merger of Bluestar Technology Group's stocks, the saved cash can be used to buy the bottom, so that after several rounds of capital operation, it is equivalent to taking a part of the $1.6 billion to buy your own company's stock.

Then use a part of the shares obtained by buying the bottom to be cross-held by Marvel Company, which can also save a lot of money to repurchase some additional shares, roughly calculated, which is equivalent to the acquisition of Marvel Comics Company by Bluestar Technology for only about 900 million US dollars.

It is definitely the best solution, the game of capital is so magical, and this means is not a lofty way to play, but it seems unpretentious, but this is precisely a realm that ordinary people can't do.

And Marvel Comics will not lose, now it seems to be a loss, but in the long run, once the shares of Bluestar Technology Group rise, it will make a lot of money, and Luo Sheng will not lose money, and 67% of the equity of Marvel Comics has been owned by him.

But there is still a prerequisite, that is, don't sell your shares halfway through.

Avi Arad didn't expect this trip to China to go so smoothly, anyway, it was much smoother than he expected, he originally thought that the other party would lower the price, and the bottom line of Marvel was $1.4 billion.

But this incident did not happen, because Luo Sheng is not a god and can't read minds, and it's not just Marvel Comics who is eager to settle this matter before the release of "Iron Man", Luo Sheng is the same.

Once "Iron Man" is released, the situation will be reversed in an instant, and it will not be $1.6 billion by then, and even a doubling of the Marvel Comics may not sell itself.

Timing is so important.

Neither side wants too many variables to happen, and Luo Sheng doesn't care too much about those hundreds of millions of dollars.

The matter is settled.

After the matter was negotiated here, Avi Arad did not linger too long, the initialing of the agreement was completed, and the formal contract was signed, all on the same day, and he took the plane back to North America the next day.

The merger of Marvel Comics into Bluestar Technology Group has been confirmed, and the news has also spread, and the media from all sides have rushed to report it.
