Chapter 242: A Cruel Plan?

An industry, even if it is done to the extreme, just like Microsoft in terms of computer systems, cannot monopolize everything.

100% market share is not impossible, but it can only be temporary, not a lifetime.

Wen Ming is very confident in his Apple company, not only because he even has the hardware parameters of the iphoneX in his mind, which is 7 years ahead of the world's mobile phone industry.

is also because Wenming not only has Apple's technology.

Judging from the technology he has mastered so far, the scientific and technical knowledge of "Jurassic Park" can only be applied to his Jurassic Island, and in addition to the scientific and technological knowledge of the "The Amazing Spider-Man" series, it can not only be applied to save his own life.

Leaving aside the 'Mingguang' armor for the time being, let's just say that the other technologies he got from Osborne's enterprise in "The Amazing Spider-Man", such as battery capacity and power optimization technology, can be applied to Tesla cars more than just Tesla.

In the era of smart phones, in addition to factors such as performance, screen resolution, and photographic effect, one of the most important factors is the battery life.

But for consumers who like to play with mobile phones, the power of mobile phones cannot support them to use them for a whole day. Even, after using the phone for a period of time, the power of the phone is fully charged, and it can only allow them to play for half a day.

Even if there are auxiliary equipment such as power banks, where can the battery life of the mobile phone itself be extended?

If Apple's iPhone, when playing big games, can allow users to last all day without needing to recharge. So, will the iPhone of this world create higher sales than the iPhone of the other world?

The answer is unequivocal.

"Everything has to be done step by step, so first continue to improve my iPhone according to the improvement level of the iPhone update in another world. Wait until everyone thinks that my iPhone has started to gnaw at the old roots, and then launch the iPhone that they can't refuse. ”

Wen Ming thought about the future of Apple and was full of confidence. It is precisely because of this that he regrets it very much.

Even if the iPhone X is taken out now and more than doubled its battery life, it is unlikely that Apple will have a monopoly on the smartphone market. Because of the cost, there are bound to be many consumers who reject the iPhone because of its high price.

Of course, there will be people who don't like iPhones, but prefer Android phones that are extremely open-source.

In another world, the number of mobile phones with Android system far exceeds the number of mobile phones with iPhones. With such a huge market, since you can't monopolize it, why not control another company, and then launch your own Android phone by this company to share the big cake of the Android phone market?

Wen Ming fell into deep thought, because he didn't know whether to create an Android phone brand on his own, or directly save Nokia, an industry overlord that was doomed to collapse.

One of the biggest problems is not to let Nokia switch to the Android camp, but how to fully acquire Nokia's mobile phone business.

Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone business in another world only cost $7.9 billion, and the cheap ones couldn't be cheaper. However, the date of this transaction was 2013, three years away.

"Wait three years?"

Wen Ming was a little impatient, what he hated most was waiting, because three years would make him miss a lot of markets and a lot of benefits.

But Rome wasn't built in a day, otherwise, he wouldn't have paid tens of millions of dollars and still hadn't gotten his private jet.

And if he can't fully buy Nokia's mobile phone business, it means that he has to help others make money, no matter how far he takes Nokia. Even if Nokia is allowed to replace Samsung's position in the mobile phone industry in the future, it is impossible to get all the benefits.

Those shareholders are not stupid, if Wenming's purpose in buying Nokia is not just for Nokia's factories. So how could they possibly give up their stake in Nokia?

You know, Tesla's press conference, although it didn't dominate all the media headlines that day because of an accident. However, Tesla's current sales have shocked everyone.

Among them, there are also many giants in the automotive industry, such as Toyota, Volkswagen and other car companies, who have even begun to secretly establish research projects because of the crazy sales of Tesla cars, preparing to develop their own electric vehicles.

Headlines are for ordinary people, but if they don't make headlines, it won't affect Tesla's impact on the world. That is, pure electric vehicles have entered the public eye in advance, and they have become one of the future plans of those giant car companies in advance.

Because of this, Tesla's valuation is said to have reached $50 billion. Compared with Wenming's valuation of $500 million when he acquired Tesla, it has increased by a full hundred times.

In half a year, the valuation has increased by a hundred times, this is the genius of Wenming that amazes the world.

Under this premise, if Wen Ming takes a stake in Nokia, Nokia's market value will definitely rise wildly in a short period of time.

Cage was silent for a long time when he saw Wenming, and said: "I now have such a plan, that is, to buy the shares in the hands of those three shareholders as much as possible. Because it involves the issue of their wills and the heirs of the property, it will take a while, and of course, if they have already made a will, I think, this time will be much faster. ”

"In the process of acquisition, you can register an offshore company to acquire, so that the relationship with Apple will not be exposed. Once we had a certain amount of ownership in Nokia, we went directly to their board of directors to ask for the closure of the factory, or the sale of the factory. ”

"Because no one knows that it is Nokia that you have a stake in, Nokia's stock price will not go up, it will only continue to fall. In this case, we try to get our hands on as many Nokia factories as possible. ”

"Of course, to buy their factory, you can buy it in the name of Apple."

As Cage recounted his plan in detail, Wen Ming's eyes lit up.

Cage continued: "And when Nokia's factories were sold, their market value was absolutely ruined to the point where they were very cheap, and the amount was ...... I'm talking about cheap for you. ”

"At this point, we can announce that the offshore company belongs to you, and Nokia's stake will go up sharply. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to sell our shares in Nokia, and maybe we will not only be able to earn back the money we bought those factories, but we will also be able to make more profits. ”

Wen Ming applauded directly, although some of these ideas belonged to him, but Cage already had a very organized plan in such a short period of time, which shows Cage's professionalism.

However, Cage's cruelty can also be seen from this.

The last step is to pull up the stock price and then sell it, although it is very profitable, but it is really the money of the stockholders. Wenming cashed out and left, what should happen to those shareholders who bought Nokia shares?

Or is it that lawyers are ruthless?

Wen Ming asked: "Can you guarantee that no one can find out whether the registered offshore company has anything to do with me?" You know, that's not a small amount of money. ”

The three shareholders who can sit on the board of directors of Nokia naturally have a lot of shares, and at this time, Nokia's valuation is 80 billion US dollars, and if Wen Ming wants to acquire them all, he will naturally pay a lot of money.

With such a huge amount of capital exchanges, it is really easy to find out if someone wants to check it.

Cage laughed and said, "Boss, although you and I are both students at Harvard University, I majored in law and minored in finance. So in that regard, I can tell you with great confidence that as long as we want to do it, no one will be able to find out, even if it's the CIA. ”

"You know, there are trillions of dollars in the world, and no one knows where it is except their owners. The easiest way is to go to Switzerland to transfer funds, because no one will be able to find out how much money you have left in Switzerland. Of course, the handling fee is actually not cheap. ”

Wen Ming smiled: "As long as you can do it, then, the handling fee is not a problem." Also, I have other ideas before the last step of the plan is executed, and I can't be sure yet, do you know what I mean? ”

"Understood." Cage nodded and said, "The last step will be at least a year before we can start working, and we have plenty of time to change our plans." ”
