Chapter 221: She's Not My Type
"In any society, in any culture, the owner of wealth needs to have the ability to protect this wealth, and if the difference between the two is too great, wealth will be lost, actively or passively, until some kind of balance is re-established. This kind www.biquge.info of situation will happen in the United States, in France, in the United Kingdom, and in Japan, and the castle you own is currently facing this problem, and your overall strength is too weak compared to the castle's excess wealth. You're pretty much rich, but you don't have the strength of a country. ”
"It seems like I'm going to be beaten up, what if I insist on not transferring the castle's shares?"
"Then you may have to deal with a number of conglomerates and megacorporations that are hostile to you at all times, and if you can survive their guns and arrows, and successfully integrate into American high society and find your allies, then you can almost keep your wealth."
"Guns and arrows? What will you face? ”
"Anything is possible, anything is possible, the wealth that the castle means is too great, you need to face everything from murder, to beauty schemes, legal sieges, commercial sieges, and even all kinds of fraud and kidnapping, all possible ways, as long as you can take the castle from your hands, it can happen."
"Is it universal?"
"Generally speaking, it is not included, but if you are too weak, it may be included."
"Thank you for your candor."
"You're welcome, after all, we had a successful cooperation, and I won't abandon my partners easily, especially partners like you who always create miracles, so today it's me who comes, not someone else."
"Looks like you've helped me block out some of the wind and rain, thank you again!"
"May I ask you, what exactly do you think about it? Do you need to think about it and get back to me later? ”
"I would like to know, what is your assessment of the castle? Since someone wants a stake, what is their valuation of the castle? ”
"The rough valuation is probably around $100 billion."
"So much?" Mo Hui was taken aback when he heard this number. "How do you figure it out?"
"Among the companies that the castle is investing in now, Kaben, Kuka and Eiffel are the most valuable. Among them, KUKA has the smallest imagination space, according to its market share, technical level, and the competitive situation of its competitors, it is estimated to be valued at about 7 billion US dollars. There are three other companies of the same level in the field of industrial robots, and KUKA is far from dominating the industry, and it is not likely to beat its opponents in the near future, so this valuation is basically based on operating data and future development space. ”
"Cardine is aimed at individual users, and the prospects are broader, with a valuation of $30 billion. Mainly because it is the first truly intelligent product in the field of life service robots, there are no competitors at present, and because it is a home use, the market prospect is broader, so its valuation is higher. ”
"But because Kaka does not have too many technical barriers in hardware, it can be expected that a large number of similar robots will soon appear, and the main difference between them and Kaka should be in software, but this does not prevent some low-cost products from crowding out the market."
"Eiffel has the highest valuation, at around $60 billion. The main reason why Eiffel's valuation is so high is that Athena has no hardware dependency, it has good portability, and it can easily manage other software, which has led to Athena's ability to quickly capture the market. ”
"Athena has no competitors now, but the difference between it and Kaka is mainly due to the different business laws of software and hardware, and the main competitiveness of software lies in user experience. So it is foreseeable that Athena will have at least a year or so of no opponents, and this time will be even longer. ”
"Now that the network is so developed, a one-year window period is enough for Athena to fully occupy the market, and even if there are competitors appearing, they will face a behemoth that is as difficult to surpass as Microsoft."
"Athena will monopolize products such as AI butler, and even AI systems in the field of intelligent hardware, and it will be the next Microsoft. It is because of this prospect that Eiffel is valued at $60 billion. ”
"100 billion dollars!" Mo Hui nodded with satisfaction, "It does sound very fulfilling." ”
"Gates' fortune is about $75 billion, and if you agree to this equity deal, then you will immediately become the richest man in the world." Mary teased.
"Are they going to trade at this valuation?"
"Yes, as long as you don't close the door to cooperation, they will naturally act according to the rules of business."
Mo thought about it, "I don't want to take out the castle, I still want to keep the shares of Kuka and Kaben, but I can consider transferring part of the shares of Eiffel, which is valued at 100 billion." ”
"You're saying that Eiffel alone is valued at 100 billion, right?"
"Yes, now Microsoft's market capitalization is $400 billion, Facebook's is $300 billion, and if Athena grows up, I think it's entirely possible for it to replace Microsoft and Facebook, or even more important software. So at this point in time, I think Eiffel's valuation should be 100 billion. ”
“...... I'll have to ask them and see what they think. ”
"Okay, no problem, I'm not in a hurry anyway, Athena is quickly taking over the market, and the more time passes, the higher Eiffel's valuation will be."
"Yes, I will let them give an answer as soon as possible, how many shares are you going to transfer?"
"Look at their appetites, which ones are there?"
"Microsoft, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Bridgewater, Amazon, Hewlett-Packard, and many more, the main ones are such companies, in fact, behind them are Mellon, Citigroup, Morgan, Boston, Barclays, these consortia. This is just a preliminary contact, and I expect that other parties will join in the future. ”
"Two conditions, first, I want to be the largest shareholder, and the gap between the shares of other shareholders cannot be too large, and second, HP can't do it, and everything related to Fiorina can't."
"What's wrong?" Mary felt something strange, and she inquired curiously. "You shouldn't have anything to do with her, right?"
"Hmm...... I'm a bit of a face-looking person, Fiorina's face is too long, which happens to be the type I hate the most, so she can't do it, neither she nor the people behind her. ”
Mary was speechless when she heard this, this is not looking for a lover, and besides, Fiorina is in her 60s...... (To be continued.) )
