Chapter 305: Sniping Apple
Duke no longer paid attention to the chicken feathers of this group of experts behind it, and turned his head to the mobile phone market with normal supply, which was originally limited by the supply of displays, whether it was Duke Electronics or the flagship mobile phone launched by the new Nokia Mobile, Nmobile, had to implement hunger marketing, which greatly suppressed the sales volume of Nmobile.
However, now that the second phase of the display project has officially begun to supply mobile phones, the bottleneck that limits the production capacity of mobile phones has been eliminated, and the new Nokia Mobile has immediately resumed the scale of monthly production of 20 million units.
Such a large supply, coupled with the fact that both Samsung and Apple have obtained intelligent speech recognition engines with performance close to Nmobile at various costs. In the face of Samsung's latest S6 flagship model and Apple's iphone6, which adopt new voice recognition technology, Nmobile's performance advantage is no longer unique. In the high-end market, a three-country situation of stalemate and see-saw has begun to form.
Thinking that he still had the killer weapon left over from the original patent war, Duke felt that it was time to stab the apple hard.
It's just that how to maximize the benefits, Duke thought for a while, remembering that Shu Ya made a lot of money when the navigator came out, and felt that it should not be a big problem to give Apple a shot this time.
"Nana, how much cash can we call up right now?" Just do it, Duke who made up his mind called Cai Siqiang over and asked.
"Duke, what are you asking for?" Cai Siqiang asked in surprise. "We should have more than $10 billion in cash if we leave the necessary liquidity, and we will probably be able to use about $10 billion in a short period of time. What, now you're eyeing something good? ”
Thinking of the previous successful acquisitions, Cai Siqiang was a little excited again, "Tell me, what are you eyeing this time?" To use the company's large amount of cash, do you have a crush on the automotive industry? Cai Siqiang guessed.
"What do you think? Now we basically don't have anything to do in terms of automobiles, and entering this industry is tantamount to looking for death. Duke said angrily, "That's right, I'm going to move Apple, and this part of the money is used for short-term hype." ”
"Ah, you want to hype Apple's stock price? Isn't this too risky? Cai Siqiang didn't understand Duke's thoughts, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Fortunately, do you remember when Apple cheated us on patents?" "Then I did a thorough analysis of the IOS system, and it turned out that they have a very scary background control program, which in some cases can control the iphone in your hand through remote direct activation." Aren't we struggling in the market right now, and I think it's time to open this backdoor and crack down on this biggest competitor.
And then we charge a little additional interest in this turmoil by the way. ”
Cai Siqiang heard Duke say this, his eyes stared at Duke, and he didn't speak for a while.
"What's the matter, Nana, shouldn't we charge some interest?" Duke was stared at by Cai Siqiang.
"Tsk, Duke, I didn't expect you kid to play such insidious tricks." Cai Siqiang couldn't help but praise. "But this idea buddy likes it too much, and if they are allowed to be the first year of junior high school, they can't let us do fifteen. Dry! I'll give you as much money as you want, and if you want to play it this time, you'll play it hard. ”
"However, with such a large amount of funds, do you think about how to operate? It's better to do it quietly and seamlessly, and when I see it, I don't have to flow it back, just put it into your account abroad, and it's convenient to do things in the future. Cai Siqiang turned his head and remembered something, and added.
"There should be no problem, the channel will use the shell resources of the last time we acquired the patent, the domestic part of the capital flow I can find someone to think of a way, the foreign part, you want to use what name to turn around, it is estimated that it will take one or two months to complete these layouts." Duke said.
"No problem, we can directly apply for a loan to supplement the lack of our own funds after the outflow, and now the banks are chasing us to lend, and lending to them is to give them face, how to get three or four billion yuan is not a big problem."
"That's good, this matter is settled, Dong Feng and Brother Wu over there, you say hello, don't inform the others, the less people know, the better, our Shu Ya is an expert in this operation, and she will be the trader when the time comes." As for the reason for this funding, you can say that we are going to make a big purchase, whether it is to buy Australian mines or African oil. ”
Here Cai Siqiang began to move and secretly prepare funds.
And Duke also wrote a control program for the IOS vulnerability, this program can try to connect according to the hardware number of the iphone, if the phone is connected to the network, the program will send a special command and then obtain the complete control of the phone.
Duke bought several different versions of the Apple iphone for testing, and found that each of them had this problem, and it seems that this backdoor is definitely deliberately left by the manufacturer.
It's just that what kind of method can be used to achieve a sensational effect at that time, and before competitors find out that it is SAL's side that is doing ghosts, Duke really spent a lot of brain cells to come up with a good way to engage in this kind of conspiracy, and Duke found that he was really not good at it.
In a word, the heart is not ruthless enough to be yin, and many things can't be imagined at all.
The funds slowly flowed out one by one, into more than 20 so-called investment companies that had been set up to purchase patents, and began to open separate accounts to sell Apple shares short.
At that time, Apple's flagship iphone 6, equipped with a newly developed intelligent speech recognition engine, had just come out, and the market responded well to Apple's finally launching a product that could compete with Nmobile, allowing Apple's stock price to break through the peak of $900 billion in market value again, and launch an impact on the unprecedented trillion dollar market value.
In this case, what is hot in the hedging market, Duke and they put in $15 billion in margin and shorted about $120 billion of stock futures at a high price near Apple's market value of $900 billion.
"Duke, I'm all short selling now, and if your backdoor doesn't cause an uproar and make Apple's stock stock U-turn, we're going to lose a lot this time. With the short position we have now, we would now be suffering $1.2 billion in margin losses for every point Apple rises.
If Apple's stock price rises by more than 12 percent, and the margin cannot be increased at that time, the trader will directly force the liquidation, and then we will basically lose all our margins. ”
After the short selling operation, seeing that she had sold so many short positions in Apple stocks, Shu Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of shock, when Soros stirred up the storm in Asia and caused the famous Asian financial crisis, the funds used should be nothing more than that.
It's just that I don't know if Mr. Soros was able to sleep at the beginning. Although Shu Ya has not been very sensitive to the amount of money in recent years, the current figures in her hands are indeed too shocking, and the rich rival country must be talking about the situation in front of her.
What kind of way does Duke need to set off this monstrous financial storm? Shu Ya didn't know, because at this moment, Duke had already taken Zhao Jianwu and several R&D personnel to retreat.
PS: The addition of 2300 is coming.
