Back To 1995: Chapter 680 drama

  Chapter 680 Drama

  The announcement of ICQ's merger with American Telecom marks the beginning of this big merger that will be recorded in the annals of Wall Street.

  Song Yang nodded. It will be a matter of time. After the news is released, the stock price of ICQ will increase. This big merger will take a long time, even if Comcast and General Electric are willing to cooperate.

   If you want to complete the merger quickly, it will take several months before you can sign the merger agreement and complete the nominal merger. As for the unified internal management, it will take a year, a half or even a few years, it is impossible!

  Song Yang didn't expect to spend so much time. After the merger of intentions was completed, after more than a year, everyone patted their butts and left, each went back to his own house, and each found his own mother.

Seeing Song Yang nodding, Irene's expression brightened. Knowing that this big show is finally going to set up a stage to sing, the acquisition of American Telecom is to set up a stage. Comcast TV Network and NBC Group are the two singers main character.

Hu Zhiwei, the general manager of Panda TV, rushed to Song Yang's villa, and passed by Irene. Irene nodded towards Hu Zhiwei. She knew that Hu Zhiwei was the person in charge of a certain property in Song Yang's hands, but... that's all That's all, Song Yang still has a lot of projects like Panda TV, Fortinet antivirus, Siebel sports car, etc. Many of them are still losing money.

  Hu Zhiwei quickly responded, and when he raised his head, Irene had already left quickly. He has not done nothing since he came to America these days, at least Hu Zhiwei knows the roots of the people around Song Yang.

  Irene's current status is definitely a big shot for Hu Zhiwei. I think back then, when Song Yang traveled to Asia, he was only worth a lot, and the double-click company was only worth a few dollars at that time.

But now, the market value of ICQ alone is more than 40 billion US dollars. In China, the market value is more than 300 billion RMB. What kind of concept is this? Hu Zhiwei also knows that these things are all fake, but it sounds too scary.

  When seeing Song Yang, Hu Zhiwei was overjoyed, "Boss Song, since Christmas, 4,000 Panda LCD TVs have been shipped!"

For Hu Zhiwei, 4,000 LCD TVs were shipped in less than half a month. According to this shipping speed, it is expected to sell about 10,000 units in a single month. The inventory of 20,000 units is two It will be cleared in about three months, which is much smoother than Hu Zhiwei expected.

  But hearing this sales volume, Song Yang frowned, "It's too slow!"

The smile on Hu Zhiwei's face faltered. He sold 4,000 LCD TVs in half a month, and received a payment of 10 million U.S. dollars, nearly 80 million yuan, all in foreign exchange. Hu Zhiwei dare to say that he is now back in Jinling. I'm afraid it's not going to be in the lane to welcome him.

But when I think about it, the "Half-Life" game that has been selling wildly these days has sold nearly 100 million US dollars in one day. The hot sale for several days has forced "Half-Life" to sell in some areas. It's out of stock. Panda TV's sales of 10 to 20 million US dollars this month are indeed a bit of a "small fight".

"Panda TV needs to continue advertising, and must seize the market as quickly as possible. Jinling Panda needs to increase production capacity and launch products in North America, Europe, Hong Kong City, Singapore, Bangzi and other places. This year's Panda TV shipments To reach 200,000 sets and 500,000 next year, within three years, the annual shipment of Panda TV must exceed 2 million sets, accounting for 1% of the total global TV sales.

  Panda TV, to redefine the high-end TV brand! "

  Hu Zhiwei looked at Song Yang dumbfounded. He wondered if he was taking too much risk. He produced tens of millions of units a year.

  Song Yang felt that Panda TV was too conservative. Currently, the world's annual TV shipments are around 150 million sets, and at its peak, it will reach around 300 million sets.

And Panda TV is now the only TV brand in the world that launches "commoner-level" LCD TVs. If it doesn't take this opportunity, it will grab the LCD TV market and control the right to speak in the LCD TV industry, making Panda TV a High-end brands in the LCD TV industry have to wait to be cut off by Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Philips and other brands? !

  "Only by selling the LCD TV, Panda TV, and panel business can we survive. Panda TV must win the LCD TV and display market, otherwise not only Panda TV, but also Panda Panel will suffer!"

  Song Yang directly stated the pros and cons of it. Panel R&D is a very expensive business. Song Yang can support Panda Panel to burn one, two or even three years of money, and spend billions of dollars for Panda to develop panels.

After that, the competition for panels will become more and more fierce. It is common practice to spend tens of dollars a year. The research and development of a new generation of panel technology often starts with tens of billions of dollars. Just look at how many years BOE has lost. .

Panda TV is Song Yang, who prepared a cash cow for Panda Company. As long as the brand is established, the annual sales of TV can be estimated, and a large amount of cash can be obtained, which is enough for Panda to spend money on research and development of panels, displays and other technologies. .

  Hu Zhiwei’s mind was filled with various thoughts, worried and even more excited. If Panda TV really became a mid-to-high-end brand in the LCD TV industry, he couldn’t imagine how many LCD TVs Panda TV could sell every year and how much foreign exchange it would earn back!

Reining in his thoughts, Hu Zhiwei said to Song Yang, "After the start of the TGA professional e-sports league, Panda TV has received a lot of orders for computer LCD screens. Over there, get a part of the order!"

  Now Panda TV mainly sells LCD TVs and LCD computer screens. The largest partner is Apple, which is now the screen supplier for Apple computers.

  Hu Zhiwei wants Panda to supply computer manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard. I know it will not be easy, but with the current popularity of the e-sports league in America, he can get as many orders as he can.

On the contrary, after going back, because of the cost problem, plus the domestic computer manufacturers are all assembly plants, and the parts are all imported from overseas, it is not easy for Panda TV to squeeze in. Hu Zhiwei simply prepared to let Panda TV Develop overseas first, and finally bear the title of "big international brand", and then go back!

  Song Yang looked Hu Zhiwei up and down, and felt that this trip to America seemed to have a great impact on Hu Zhiwei, and he was no longer obsessed with the domestic market.

  Now the domestic home appliance industry is sticking to the domestic market. The high-end electrical appliance market is dominated by overseas brands. Domestic home appliance brands can only compete in the low-end and mid-end markets.

  Domestic brands have to wait more than ten years to go overseas before they go out slowly, and then they have to pay various tuition fees. But at that time, the international trade market has undergone drastic changes, and there is no profit at all.

  The change of Panda TV may also be a change for many domestic electrical appliances brands. How can domestic companies make more money overseas, and they are all foreign exchange...

   "You decide this matter, I will let the North American Global Investment Foundation send consultants to help you!"

Song Yang said to Hu Zhiwei that he also wanted to see how far Panda TV could go, but in the initial stage, he still had to help Hu Zhiwei, including foreign trade consultants, legal affairs, finance, taxation and other issues. Otherwise, Hu Zhiwei would have stepped on those pits and cracked.

  Goldman Sachs headquarters, from the moment Pellet Greene hung up the phone and rushed to Paulson's office, Paulson was already frowning, sitting there thinking hard for a long time, still not saying a word.

   "It turned out to be American Telecom..."

Paulson muttered to himself, this news is explosive enough, but Paulson's face is full of doubts, the news he received before that Song Yang was going to make a big move came from General Electric, but Now it is the merger between ICQ and American Telecom, which makes Paulson a little puzzled.

Looking at Paulson's frown, an outrageous idea popped up in Pellet Greene's mind, "Is it possible that after ICQ merged with American Telecom, it will acquire and merge with NBC Group and Comcast Television Network?" ?”

  Since last year, Song Yang has been very close to Immelt of Comcast Group and General Electric, and this point has long been figured out by Goldman Sachs.

Hearing this absurd idea, Paulson couldn't help laughing. He felt that Pellet Greene was just joking. If he really wanted to play like this, how big is ICQ this time? The giant of American knife comes out?

But just after laughing a few times, Paulson suddenly couldn’t laugh. Thinking of Song Yang’s past operations, Paulson’s spine was chilled. He was sure that others, even Bill Gates and Larry Ellison Such old cannons dare not play like this.

   But Song Yang was born in the Internet, playing the Internet, after the indulgence of America and Wall Street in the past few years, why not dare to play?

Taking a breath, Paulson turned his mind quickly, and looked up at Pellet Greene, "Let the marketing department go all out to buy ICQ, General Electric, and Comcast stocks, as much as you can, and other The stocks in the hands of the institutions are also bought back!"

   Paulson said eagerly, he didn't know how long it had been since he could hear the heartbeat and the blood was boiling hot. Paulson was not afraid that Song Yang would play well, but he was afraid that Song Yang would not dare to play!

   "Then the Xueleshan game..."

  At this time, Paulson didn't care about Sierra, he was going to hold a board meeting, and Goldman Sachs would make a fortune following it.

   "You send someone to talk to Xue Leshan!"

  After Goldman Sachs became ICQ's platform, ICQ's stock price began to rise, but it didn't get too many dividends from "game concept stocks", and the stock price didn't rise much.

But at the close, without any news, the stock price of ICQ was pulled up again, just like it was on the first day of listing, there was no reason to say, it was pulled up abruptly, and countless people watched ICQ The stock price broke through the sky-high price of one hundred and fifty dollars and continued to be pulled up.

  At this time, a gossip came out from nowhere, and suddenly it came out from the Nasdaq Securities Commission that ICQ is preparing to issue new shares, and the scale is very large!
