Chapter 494: Enter May and Grab Back the Heat!
As the days passed, the time came to March 20th.
The Wall Street Journal headline reported that Apple may spend an astronomical amount of $218.5 billion to launch a merger and acquisition offer for GE Group, achieving a 52% stake in GE, in the form of $82 billion in cash and 16.4% of Apple's equity.
Berkshire Hathaway followed suit, acquiring a 21% stake in GE for $45 billion in cash and 6.7% of the company's shares.
Apple and Berkshire Hathaway are the two biggest players, and there are actually a large number of investors involved in this capital merger and acquisition feast, but there is no doubt that if this investment is correct, Warren Buffett will be the biggest winner.
Once the deal is completed, it will be the largest acquisition in history, and this super merger will set a new world record.
The Wall Street Journal further revealed that the negotiation process between the two sides was quite smooth, and the global media was following closely and overwhelmingly reported on it.
Entering April, Apple's whale swallowed GE and was hammered, which went even more smoothly than the outside world predicted.
At the end of April, Huaxia also released news that it agreed to Apple's purchase of GE, and the Ministry of Commerce of various countries also announced that it agreed to the merger, and the external resistance was gone, which made Cook breathe a sigh of relief, especially Huaxia's attitude is very important, if Huaxia does not agree, this merger may have to drag on for a long time.
And such a horrific merger and acquisition case is progressing faster than everyone expected.
A puddle of mud that was almost forgotten, GE GE, under the heavy entry of Apple and even Warren Buffett, instantly became a sweet spot and became the focus of world attention.
GE's market capitalization skyrocketed that day, and thousands of investors swept through the secondary stock market like chickens.
GE's stock soared 46 percent on the day, with a market capitalization of $112.4 billion, from more than $77 billion to $100 billion in a single day.
You can see how crazy it is.
GE rose in one day, equivalent to 1.35 pindodo, or 1.2 wang, or 0.93 Jingdong.
It is foreseeable that the market value of GE will inevitably usher in a further stage of crazy growth, and the market value of $112.4 billion is definitely not the ceiling, which is convinced by global investors.
Because Apple's wave of operations can be called epic, almost all the lives of the net worth are pressed, and GE is bound, which is a big guarantee, and another big reason why investors are so crazy is that Warren Buffett is also working GE, and the stock god is tied to one leg.
With this double guarantee, if you don't follow up, the meat residue will be gone by then.
On this day, the investors of the entire Wall Street went crazy, an epic capital gluttonous feast, countless people were dumbfounded, and they wanted to see GE's soaring market value on a rocket, I am afraid that few shareholders could withstand it.
GE's market capitalization soared in a rocket-like manner over the next 10 days, soaring all the way to $218.8 billion over the next 10 days.
It's just crazy, and the entire U.S. stock market is in a state of excitement and carnival.
GE's gorgeous turn has taken everyone by surprise, and the market value of more than $200 billion is not the ceiling that people expected, and the optimistic estimation of the capital circle is that the future market value of GE should be maintained at a gradient of $370 billion to $400 billion.
Now GE not only has cross-shareholdings in Apple and Berkshire Hathaway, but also has more than 120 billion in cash reserves alone, which is larger than Buffett's cash holdings before he entered the market.
If it is just a General Electric, it will not drive the entire U.S. stock market to strengthen strongly, when people's attention is too focused on the "outdated star" General Electric "back to the front line", other "outdated" old giants are also quietly counterattacking, although low-key, but the momentum is really not small.
After falling below the $100 billion mark, Samsung's market capitalization quietly returned to the $100 billion mark in April, reaching a market value of $125.5 billion.
And Sony's market capitalization has also quietly risen sharply, breaking through $80 billion, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before it breaks through the $100 billion mark again.
The media has reported on the latest situation of these companies, but the public's eyes are attracted by the mergers and acquisitions between General Electric, Apple and Berkshire Hathaway, so that they do not pay too much attention to the fact that other established giants are also heavily invested in capital positions, and the capital circle is also making a lot of money and holding shares in these companies.
Throughout March and April, it can be said that GE, Apple, and Hathaway sang on stage to attract global attention.
It also allows the world to witness an unprecedented feast of capital, how crazy it is.
……
When the time came to May, the coastline group, which had been suppressed for two consecutive months, finally began to exert its strength and officially began to build momentum for the launch of the "holographic bracelet" product.
This hardware product is operated by Coral Island Technology, a subsidiary headed by Cheng Yangze.
As soon as this guy accidentally slipped his hand, 1.12 billion US dollars of advertising expenditure was thrown out, equivalent to RMB¥7.5 billion, just for the promotion of the "holographic bracelet".
Simple and crude, but tried and tested, for Lao Cheng, this is his consistent marketing style.
Smash it with money!
Ye Hua, as the founder of Coastline Group, is different from the founder of Xiaomi Technology, Rebus's marketing method is to sell his own personality, and there are really a lot of ghost animal videos about Mr. Lei at a certain station.
But the marketing method of selling people is easy to collapse, and it may collapse one day.
This is an example.,Brother Dong is a typical negative textbook.,Although the whip corpse is a bit unauthentic.,But the negative textbook is also a textbook.,Yes, there are cases of wood.。
ran out every day to show affection with Naicha's sister, and posted non-stop Weibo dynamics, and his activity on the Internet was one of the top celebrities.
Then, something happened!
The character has collapsed!
Ye Hua is very clever, he doesn't play with people, he learns from Old Man Ren, low-key, low-key.
Although the same strength is not allowed, but one yard is one yard, it should be low-key or low-key, in case one day the rich private life is exposed, maybe it will be jokingly called a generation of romantic talents.
On the contrary, it has become a beautiful talk, and it is a good story that makes the majority of male compatriots fascinated.
That's how the world is.
Sometimes, one left and one right, the result is very different.
Once you start selling people, this person will be bound from then on, and it will be a time bomb that may collapse at any time.
Ye Hua is now retreating behind the scenes, and basically he will not come out to speak for the products of his company, and he does not need to do it.
To put it simply, if you can solve the problem with money, you must not use other problems to solve it, and although money in this world is not omnipotent, it is also true that money can basically solve all problems.
Cheng Yangze led the marketing of the "holographic bracelet", and has been in full swing since May, with an advertising budget of 1.12 billion US dollars.
On labor holidays, people find that they can see the familiar little dolphin trademark everywhere, subways, stations, and high-speed railways are advertisements for new products on the coastline, and the most excessive is under the night scene of the big city, in the commercial city, directly use the commercial drone group to lay a giant void screen of more than 100 standard football fields in the night sky, and it is a person who can't help but look up at the night sky, and it is really difficult to ignore it.
Melon-eating netizens commented on the Internet, and this advertising was too "hardcore".
