Chapter 457: Take down Qualcomm

William Rose gave a lot of information, quite thick. However, there are five brief information on it, don't look at it less, but all the essence is in it.

He Yuzhu looked at the information on the desk, couldn't help laughing, and then glanced at the dark circles on William Rose's eyes, and praised: "It's hard, it's done well." ”

"Boss, that's how I should be." When William Rose heard this, his heart warmed, and he felt that the three days of desperate collection of information had not been in vain.

He Yuzhu spent more than a day, read almost all the information, and had a general understanding of several companies in his heart.

The worst of these was Apple, which launched its first personal computer, followed by the epoch-making Lisa in 1983, the world's first personal computer to combine a graphical user interface with a mouse.

The price at that time was in dollars. Extremely expensive, expensive, and lacking support from software developers have once again deprived Apple of the opportunity to gain market share in the enterprise.

LISA was terminated in 1986 and the remainder was buried in a landfill in Utah. After the company was in ruins, Jobs insisted on the bundle of Apple computer software and hardware, and computers could not go to the masses, plus the blue giant IBM also began to wake up, and also launched personal computers, seizing a large market, making the newly developed computers fail miserably.

Moreover, Apple shareholders disliked Jobs for being too stubborn, and the board of directors resolved to remove him from his position as chief executive.

Jobs angrily sold his shares and left, and Apple plummeted. Apple is now a very ordinary computer company, and due to the impact of Black Monday, the stock price is now only 3 US dollars, with a total market value of less than 1.8 billion US dollars, which is not the 1.3 billion giant in later generations.

Coca-Cola, the majority shareholder of Columbia Pictures, now holds a 49% stake, and Coca-Cola intends to transfer its shares due to the lack of film production in the past few years.

And Sony will be in contact with CBS with an interest in acquiring Columbia's record division.

He remembers that next year Sony would pay $20 to buy Columbia Records, the predecessor of the later Sony Music Entertainment Group, before he became more appetizing.

He Yuzhu wants to complete this acquisition before Sony. Although AMD was founded in the same year as Intel and once ran alongside Intel, it completely declined at this time and basically became a vassal of Intel.

However, in 2000, AMD's stock price rose to $70 billion, and it was enough to change hands at a high price.

Marvel was acquired by New World Pictures in 86, but the superhero movie made was not ideal and lost money!

And New World, a company, can't tell the difference between Superman and Marvel and DC.

"How much does it cost to buy Marvel?"

"Boss, since the acquisition of New World, Marvel Comics has lost money on the two movies it made, especially the destruction of the original book that was complained about by the audience. New World is also interested in selling, if we want to buy this comic company, as long as the premium is 10%, about 60 million. He Yuzhu nodded: "Then start simple, contact the new century immediately, and buy Marvel from him first." ”

"Yes......" William Rose hesitated,

"Boss, the simplest should be Qualcomm. This company has recently been seeking angel funding. I have seen the communication satellite management system they developed, and it is very good, but it has just been developed and has not been recognized by the market. He Yuzhu picked up Qualcomm's information and looked at it, Qualcomm was founded two years ago, that is, in 85 years, by seven doctors in the field of communications.

At this time, Qualcomm was very weak, and it was not a patent troll in later generations. At the beginning of Qualcomm's establishment, the company had no business, and basically made mobile communication solutions for satellite systems.

Since last year, it has been developing a communication satellite management system, that is, a project that uses satellites to help long-distance trucks achieve communication and positioning with the headquarters, so as to facilitate the management of the logistics transmission of these trucks.

It's a great system, and it's also being used by later physics companies. But the product is developed and faced, and if you want to go on the market, you will face a problem, then there will be no money!

R&D consumes all of the company's funds, so Qualcomm is now looking for financing. He Yuzhu knew that this product was a great success after it was launched, and it was used by major airports and logistics and freight companies in the United States, and there was no shortage of money in Qualcomm at that time.

He Yuzhu made a decision immediately

"Then start with Qualcomm......"

"No problem, Qualcomm's Evan Jacob is looking for financing on Wall Street." He Yuzhu nodded: "Ask him to come and talk to him." In a café in the afternoon, He Yuzhu met two of Qualcomm's main founders, Evan Jacobs and Salmasi, most of whom were of retirement age.

Fifty-five-year-old Jacob was surprised that it was an Asian American, shook his hand, and thought that the other party was Japanese, and tentatively said in Japanese: "Hello." The accent turned around, and He Yuzhu, who listened to it, couldn't help but smile, and replied in fluent English: "It's okay for you, Ai Wen, just speak English, my surname is He, my name is He Yuzhu, and I am the investment manager of Bright Capital." He Yuzhu was the first to introduce himself, and then the two introduced it again.

"He, he, He Yu ...... first" Jacob said a little tongue-twisting, but he used to be Chinese when he was a teacher at MIT, so he got used to it after saying a few words.

"Mr. He, are you really willing to invest in our Qualcomm company?" It's very direct, several people are from technical backgrounds, and they can't negotiate politely!

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Of course, after the evaluation of our general manager William Rose, we found that you and your founding team are very good teams, and we are happy to invest in you." I believe that if you look at the profile of our Bright Capital, you should know that we are a company founded in the United States, and the original intention of its establishment is to promote the development of science and technology in the United States. Hearing the reply, the two white old men looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"I wonder how much Mr. He can invest in us? Want to take a stake? Jacob couldn't help but smile and asked the main question.

He Yuzhu asked rhetorically: "Then how much money do you need, and how many shares can you give away?" ”

"My stake is 30 percent, Sarmasi is 20 percent, and the other five have 10 percent each. I can give 10 percent, Sarmasi can give 9 percent, and they each give 4 percent, for a total of 39 percent of the shares, hoping to get $3.6 million in investment. Jacob said it almost without thinking, and it seemed that this price had been in his mind for a long time.

3.6 million can buy hundreds of billions of Qualcomm in the world, the leader of 3G and 4G mobile communication technology, I feel a lot of money when I think about it, especially the mobile phone industry in later generations hates Qualcomm so much, patent trolls, Qualcomm tax to understand.

He Yuzhu drank a cup of coffee and said with a smile: "As far as I know, at the beginning of the establishment of several companies, they raised $1 million. ”

"In this way, 3.6 million can be exchanged for 70% of the shares, and it will take less than two years...... He Yuzhu first said a set of Qualcomm's previous business, and then said

"And the profitability of this satellite positioning system is uncertain, and no one knows what the future prospect is, which makes me very difficult." Jacob and the others were a little disappointed, although three million was a bit much, but the value of their talents was also in it, and they couldn't just count the money.

"Well, $3.6 million for 60% of the equity, so that I can give an account to the company." He Yuzhu scared people away, so he wouldn't lose a lot.

Jacob immediately objected excitedly: "This will not work, I will never give up control of the company." He Yuzhu waved his hand and smiled: "We don't want control of the fund, what we want is to maximize returns." You can rest assured, no, we can sign a contract, this 60% of the shares only have 30% of the voting rights, if there is a difference in the company's decision-making and research and development, everything is based on Jacob's opinion. We have a requirement, that is, to send financial personnel into the company to review every penny of expenses, this money must be used for the development of the company, otherwise we have the right to file a lawsuit in court! Only then did the two of them put their minds at ease, muttered a few words to each other, and said that they had thought about it.

Jacob went out with the phone, and Salmasi stayed behind to chat with He Yuzhu. Not long after Jacob came back, he hesitated and said: "I can give out 60% of the shares, but we want 7.2 million, of which 360 are for the development of the company, and the bottom is our personal property." He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing, got up and shook hands with Jacob: "Yes!" ”
