In mid-September, today Luo Sheng and Qualcomm officially signed a three-year licensing contract for the 3G standard, and the contract period is 2012.

Paul Jacob left with a very satisfied victor attitude, and the next three years are just lying down to make money, for Qualcomm to establish 4G patent barriers as soon as possible in the past three years, and then it will be a cycle, and the patent fee will definitely be higher.

Qin Weimu, who was also in the hall, was sorting out the contract materials, and as soon as Qualcomm's people left, now there were only two left, he and Luo Sheng were left, seeing his unhappy look, Qin Weimu couldn't help but smile:

"It turns out that you also have today, some time ago the NSA was abused by you to death, look at the way you eat deflated, you also tasted this taste, right? What do you think? Isn't it comfortable? ”

Luo Sheng glanced at her helplessly: "Hehe, I don't think you're jumping more and more for three days, and your arms are turning out, right?" ”

After sorting out the materials, Qin Weimu decisively skipped this topic and got down to business: "Qualcomm's 'double patent' is too ugly, and now the rise of major smartphone brands, it is foreseeable that Qualcomm will make a lot of money in the next few years." ”

Now even the Cote d'Azur has no good way to take Qualcomm, for Xiaomi, a domestic mobile phone brand that has just been established, it is even more bargaining power in front of Qualcomm.

Luo Sheng smiled and said lightly: "Qualcomm is also jumping in the 3G era, and we have a ploughshare for this substitute player in the 4G communication baseband. ”

Of course, Luo Sheng knows about Huawei, he can view all the secret R&D plans of Lens Semiconductor, and Huawei has been investing in research and development in the field of wireless communication baseband since 2004, that is, after the establishment of Lens Semiconductor, and 2006 is a very important time node, because of the best-selling of Azure mobile phones, Huawei is also as excited as chicken blood.

Since 2006, we have been stumbling on the communication baseband at any cost, and the confidence is that the Cote d'Azur is a strategic partner, as long as the product technology is in place, it can immediately obtain a global large customer with the best quality.

From 2006 to this year, the three-year time of Huaweiguang is in the field of communication baseband research and development has burned nearly 7.5 billion US dollars, is really a loss of money, 3G technology is completely used for technology precipitation, because here is indeed not able to do Qualcomm, so the eyes are aimed at the future 4G era.

At this time, Luo Sheng suddenly said: "By the way, this has to be laid out in advance, once it breaks with Qualcomm and faces a series of troubles, such as the blockade and suppression in North America, chip foundry has become a key part." ”

Huaxin International is now completely unable to play, IC design links have Lens Semiconductor, here Luo Sheng does not have to worry too much, industrial software has been laid out, he is now more worried about chip foundry.

No matter how good your design is, no matter how excellent your products are, if no one helps you produce and manufacture, you will still stare dryly, every link in the semiconductor industry is very important, and you can't play any of them.

As for the problem of lithography machines, it is a hard bone that must be gnawed at the end, and anyway, the West will not sell the most advanced lithography machines to the Chinese people.

Qin Weimu was thoughtful, and immediately looked at Luo Sheng: "Do you mean the layout of the Turbopower?" ”

Luo Sheng nodded: "Lifting SMMC is now one of the key 'tool people' in our hands, under the premise that the foundry link of our own semiconductor industry chain has not yet entered the world-class world, lifting SMMC is the lifeline, if they don't give me foundry things, it will be troublesome." ”

Qin Weimu said succinctly: "How are you going to operate?" ”

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers and said: "Simple, let the Cote d'Azur invest in TSMC, with this prerequisite, and then sign a five-year OEM contract with the Cote d'Azur, and after five years, the 'tool man' of the Cote d'Mc' has little use value, and it can be discarded at any time." ”

In five years, Luo Sheng has the confidence and ability to do it independently in the field of chip foundry and lead the world.

Qin Weimu asked concisely, "How much to vote?" ”

Luo Sheng thought for a while and said: "It's about more than 10 billion US dollars, which is almost one-eighth of the current market value of TSMC, but I only need about 7% of the equity." ”

Simply and rudely smashed with money until the crooked legs were soft and couldn't walk.

In fact, there is no financial crisis in the company, but who cares about the amount of money?

Or the money delivered to the door in person.

The things that can be settled with money are definitely the easiest things to do here in Luo Sheng, and this trick is the operation of ASML, which sells lithography machines to its customers, and customers are its own shareholders.

Lifting Semiconductor is one of the shareholders of ASML, and at this time, it can only use money to stabilize the tool man first.

Qin Weimu: "Okay, I'll deal with the matter of lifting the company, and wait for me to give you news." ”

……

As we entered September, the N.S.A. was absolutely relieved, because at least netizens and the general public around the world had not paid much attention to the "Prism Gate" incident, and the news media coverage had gradually shifted elsewhere.

Among them, Luo Sheng's two technology companies once again appeared in the field of vision of the news media and the public, although the NSA is very unhappy about this, but relatively speaking, Luo Sheng can attract the attention of the media and the public, it is better than holding a magnifying glass to continue to take pictures here.

After entering September, the market value of Bluestar Technology Group has continued to break its own records and continue to hit new highs, and now the total market value has exceeded 280 billion US dollars, which is expected to break through the market value mark of 300 billion US dollars.

It can only be said that after a series of surveillance incidents such as the "Prism Gate" scandal were exposed last month, the world suddenly saw clearly who was the messenger of justice and who was the real evildoer.

There is another factor worth mentioning for the soaring market value of Bluestar Technology Group, and that is that Warren Buffett, who has never been very interested in Internet technology companies, made a move.

The stock god Buffett has made a move, and Berkshire Hathaway under his leadership suddenly holds a heavy stake in BTC, which is the first time that Buffett has bought a large number of Internet technology companies.

The reason for Buffett's response to the outside world is that Luo Sheng, the helmsman of Bluestar Technology, is a person who is willing to do long-term business and likes to do projects that can only make a lot of money after ten years or even longer.

This has a certain amount of the same philosophy as Buffett, and it seems to explain why he made a move.

Indeed, compared with other Internet companies that like to make quick money to cash, Bluestar Technology insisted on making money for up to three years in the early development stage, even if it could make money.

It was an alternative in the Internet industry at that time.

Also in mid-September, Zhang Bowen, global executive vice president of Bluestar Technology Group, held a media conference to officially announce that the group company would once again release a 3A-rated corporate bond with a face value of up to $20 billion.

The interest rate, like last time, is also for five years.

Of this amount, US$2.2 billion, or about RMB15 billion, was issued on the mainland.

The other $17.8 billion is for offshore bonds, Europe accounts for $3.7 billion, and the remaining denomination is for Wall Street capital consortia.

As soon as this matter was disclosed, it caused a sensation in the capital circle, and many melon-eating netizens said that they couldn't understand Luo Sheng's operation at all, didn't Bluestar Technology have a free cash flow of $24 billion?

As a listed company, these are disclosed, so it is normal for ordinary melon-eating netizens to know.

Since you are so rich, how can you still issue debts to foreign countries?

This is incomprehensible to the public, and it is $20 billion at the first shot, and according to the issue interest rate, it will pay $1.5 billion in interest for just one year, which is undoubtedly sky-high.

In the eyes of ordinary melon-eating netizens, this is no different from scattering coins.

That's right, that's sprinkling coins.

The purpose of Luo Sheng's move is to gather wealth and people, because Bluestar Technology is really not short of money at all, and its free cash flow can meet the expansion of the current business plan while still having a large balance.

Moreover, the company's net profit is high, which has soared towards the proportion of 30%, and insists on not paying dividends, which can be said to be better than the accumulation of assets year by year.

The purpose of scattering wealth is to dress yourself in a thicker protective suit.

……

Not long after the news of the second large-scale issuance of corporate bonds was announced, the world's largest investment banks M&C and Chase announced that they had contracted $6.5 billion of corporate bonds, Goldman Sachs announced that it had contracted $2 billion, Deutsche Bank announced that it had contracted $2.2 billion, and so on.

The $17.8 billion corporate bond was divided among the world's major capital consortia, which can be described as a gluttonous feast.

This makes small and medium-sized enterprises around the world indignant, but they have no choice but to scold the group of doggy bankers behind their backs to vent their dissatisfaction.

These bankers only like to frantically lend money to large enterprises that are not short of money, while small and medium-sized enterprises that are really short of money are rejected in various ways, and they will not lend easily when they ask grandpa to sue grandma.

It is the nature of capital to pursue profits, and it is normal for this phenomenon to occur, and from the standpoint of a banker, lending money to a large enterprise that is not short of money is not afraid that the other party will default on its debts or not pay it back, and the probability of becoming a non-performing asset is extremely low, and the risk is of course low.

On the contrary, the ghost of small and medium-sized enterprises knows whether you will go bankrupt that day, and then they will be unlucky with you, and bankers are not stupid, they know that kind of money is made more and earns steadily.

It is worth mentioning that Luo Sheng's personal wealth has also increased with the market value of Bluestar Technology Group, of which he holds about 25% of the shares of Bluestar Technology Group, and according to the current market value of 280 billion US dollars, his worth has exceeded 70 billion US dollars.

This alone is already the richest man in the world.

In addition, the family fund holds 9% of the shares of Bluestar Technology, and its current nominal value has reached 25.2 billion US dollars, which was bought for more than 10 billion US dollars, and now the value has more than doubled in about a year, even if all the original principal and interest are paid to Bluestar Technology now, it will also make a net profit of more than 10 billion US dollars.

According to the agreement, Luo Sheng's family fund will pay interest regularly every year, and the principal and interest will be delivered together in the fifth year, and by that time, the market value of the 9% stock may have doubled or tripled.

It can be said that the next step is to net as much as you rise.

This matter was also brought up by the media to say that Luo Sheng lost money on his first investment, and if he did not sell the 9% of the repurchased treasury shares, he could earn more than $10 billion for the company.

In this regard, of course, Luo Sheng smiled and stopped talking.

It's that the shareholders of Bluestar Technology are a little heartbroken, but they can't help it, after all, they agreed a year ago, and they were very happy, and they made a lot of money in absolute terms, but they made a lot less money than today.
