Chapter 382: Invest in the three giants of Penguin, Qiandu, and Taobao!

If you want to gain a lot of market share, you must first come up with a huge amount of money to develop the corresponding core technology, but can we really achieve the desired results in these two industries?

At present, the Internet industry has quickly formed a situation of breaking the ridge, Penguin is about to break the field of communication software, Qiandu is about to break the field of search, and Taobao is also about to break the field of online shopping.

It is even more difficult for the automotive industry to break through, and old automobile companies such as German, Japanese, American, French, and Korean have built thick barriers with technology patents.

If we want to develop our own domestic engines, transmissions, automotive ECU computers and even automobiles, the problems and pressures we need to face are several times that of the Internet industry.

After all, automobiles are not only facing the design and production of engines and transmissions, but also the materials of engines and transmissions.

In terms of production issues, we have a Dawning five-axis machining center, which can directly produce any kind of engine and transmission.

However, in terms of other problems, whether it is the design of engines and transmissions, or the problems of metal materials, Western automobile companies have built thick technical patent barriers.

It's really difficult to design high-performance and low-cost engines and transmissions, and it's much more difficult than in the Internet industry. ”

Hearing the words of sales director Li Qianqiang, the scene couldn't help but fall into silence.

Because what Li Qianqiang, the sales director, said is indeed a problem, those two industries are indeed very profitable, but the pressure is also huge.

At this time, although Sugon Technology is not without the strength to enter the Internet industry or the automotive industry, the risk that needs to be taken is too great.

And at present, it wants to enter other industries because of the lack of capital chain.

At this time, if you really enter these two industries, not to mention whether you can make money in the future, but you will have to invest more than a billion dollars or even billions of dollars in the early stage.

Therefore, this matter is very risky, and if it succeeds, it will face a huge loss!

However, after all, it was up to Lin Chen to make the decision, and they could only give corresponding suggestions, but they had no right to decide.

So they focused on Lin Chen, wanting to see which industry Lin Chen wanted to enter, or neither industry to choose the route of protecting market share.

In this regard, Lin Chen slowly said his reply under the gaze of people:

"Penguin, Qiandu, and Taobao in the Internet industry have done very well, and there is no need to enter the industry to compete with them in person.

Of course, not entering the industry in person does not mean that we will ignore the profits of the Internet industry, and we can use Sugon Holding Company as an angel investment to invest in those three companies.

As for the $1 billion budget, I believe that the future benefits of investing in these three companies will be quite impressive.

If you are really short of money in the future, it is a big deal to use the shares of those companies to mortgage and borrow a sum of money for emergency purposes. ”

At this time, whether it is Tao Bao, Qiandu or Penguin, their total market value is quite low, and it is really equivalent to picking up money for nothing.

For example, in 2005, Penguin had a total market capitalization of just over a billion dollars. As for Tao Bao, it is even worse, and the real market value is far less than that of Penguin, which has been listed.

The only one of these three companies is the better one, and the current market value of Qiandu is as high as $4 billion.

Of course, theoretically speaking, Dawning Holdings will definitely not be able to buy much if it spends $1 billion to buy the shares of the three companies, but Dawning Technology does not need to hold a controlling stake, and a few percent or ten or twenty percent is enough.

After all, the purpose of Shuguang Holdings' shareholding is to share the profits of their growth and wait for their market value to soar, not to control them.

Of course, with the Sugon computer operating system, Sugon CPU, and Sugon graphics card, even if the shares of Sugon Technology are only a few percent or even ten or twenty percent.

But in fact, even if there is no share, the impact on them is quite large, and it is not that the share can be weighed.

"$1 billion is a bit much, but it's not like we can't come up with it, I have no opinion."

"yes, I don't have a problem either."

"Equally."

At this time, in the face of the decision to take a stake in the three Internet giants, none of the senior executives on the scene objected.

After all, everyone can see the growth rate of those three companies and the trend of future ridges, and it is really not a loss to invest in those three companies at this time.

And if it weren't for the fact that Dawning Technology had mastered Dawning operating system, Dawning CPU, Dawning graphics card, Dawning memory, Dawning motherboard, and Dawning display.

The three companies still refuse to let them take shares, after all, Shuguang Technology can see that their future development prospects are good, how can they not see it themselves?

Therefore, there is no need for major shareholders, and those three companies are absolutely unwilling to take out their shares to win over Shuguang Technology.

Therefore, Shuguang Technology can take a stake in those three companies, but it actually takes advantage of it!

On the other side, Lin Chen continued when people nodded lightly:

"We don't get into the Internet industry personally, so the next step we want to enter is the automotive industry.

In other words, the focus of our Sugon system is the three core pillars of mobile phones, computers, and automobiles! ”

Of course, at this time, the entire Dawning system company actually has other sources of profits, such as semiconductor chip foundry business, such as metal processing business, such as mobile phone foundry business......

However, those businesses are all businesses in subdivided industries, and the actual revenue is not large, even if it is done quite well, it is actually only hundreds of millions of dollars or even more than ten or two billion dollars.

Therefore, Lin Chen said that the real profits of Shuguang Holdings are mainly in the computer industry, the mobile phone industry and automobile companies.

Because as long as any one of these three industries does well, the profits are tens of billions of dollars or even tens of billions of dollars!

In this regard, Li Qianqiang, the sales director on the side, shook his head slightly and said:

"But if we want to make our own car, then we need to buy a complete car manufacturer, get the basic technology patent license and build a plant, and then develop our own engine and transmission.

In the whole process, we have to prepare at least four or five billion US dollars, and if we can't recover the R&D costs in a year, then we will face even more pressure in the future. ”

Hearing this, the people at the scene also fell silent, because this is indeed a problem.

Not to mention the amount of R&D spending, the cost of acquiring or building an automobile manufacturing plant alone is quite huge, and it is possible to spend two or three billion US dollars.

Because they want to buy or build a car factory, it is certainly not a small car factory with an annual output of 100,000 or 200,000 units.

At the very least, it is necessary to build a large-scale automobile manufacturing plant with an annual output of one million or millions of dollars, so at this time, the expenditure must be at least two or three billion dollars to qualify.

Thank you for the tip of the incense which I missed.
