Chapter 1570 The best business relationship is not friends, but allies

Andy's vigorous ambition to acquire Qualcomm and the various big pie drawn made Qualcomm stock holders, including Blackstone, Pioneer of America, Fidelity International Investment Fund, State Street Bank and Wellington Management Group, all chose to become his allies.

At this time, the panicked Qualcomm board of directors is speeding up various investments to better maintain their current leadership in the company.

Through the acquisition of Amd's handheld equipment business, Qualcomm's board of directors hopes to convey it to the outside world. They can also provide good services to investors and will decide whether to support or refuse the offer based on further developments in the future.

However, these behaviors are definitely happy for Andy. After all, he acquired Qualcomm not to destroy it, but to plan for the future. The optimistic one is Qualcomm's future development prospects and its monopoly position in mobile chips.

To do all this, Andy, who doesn't know much about the semiconductor industry, will naturally not be foolish in the act of laymen and instructing experts to clean up management, causing the company to fall into turmoil and destroying the Great Wall.

Andyba cannot let Qualcomm's management be more capable! No one can stop him from taking over Qualcomm's board of directors. With the shares he holds and the support of shareholders of those major institutions, he has received more than 55% of the shares.

There is no suspense about the position of chairman of Qualcomm, and the current Qualcomm board of directors is just making the final dying struggle.

This is also the so-called White Knights who suddenly joined, which gave them the courage to resist. Everything was already destined when the board of directors was jointly pressured by major shareholders and kicked out the son of founder Jacob.

The so-called "Don Quixote" plan is also the name Andy is full of mockery of the white knights.

In his opinion, the disruption of several white knights, including General Electric, was like Don Quixote, who was riding a lame horse, holding a rifle, and charging towards a windmill!

However, in order to implement the plan smoothly, a comprehensive linkage must be carried out, whether it is fund suppression or public opinion guidance, it is particularly important to build momentum.

Building momentum is the top priority. Only by making the market and investors in the dark cloud of crisis suspicious again and panic can they leverage the overall decline of US stocks. At that time, if you push yourself, you will be able to experience financial stampede!

This time, he not only has to complete the plan to control more Qualcomm, but also has to make those forces that sniper themselves vomit blood!

As for the possible financial panic, Andy didn't take it seriously. Investors who are still swimming in the stock market are all good people. Ordinary people have been washed out for a long time, not to mention that one general has achieved success and thousands of bones are woven...

"Thank you very much for your support. Whether outside the world or in the industry, many people are curious about why I suddenly chose to enter the semiconductor industry. After all, I am a very amateur in semiconductor technology..."

Andy sat in front of the computer monitor, looking at the heads of several large institutions holding Qualcomm shares in the six small windows arranged in arranging arrangements in the video window, and talked with a smile.

"There is no special reason, mainly because I am optimistic about the future of the semiconductor industry. I think as the semiconductor industry gradually becomes more and more similar to traditional large industries such as steel and oil, the entry threshold is high and the capital demand is large.

In my opinion, with the development of chip technology, the romantic stories of several engineers fighting alone in their own garages will no longer appear, because it is impossible to use advanced technology without financial support, and it will be uncompetitive in the market without using advanced technology.

For large companies, because advanced processes require more and more capital, the risk of developing new products is also increasing. In the future, more and more companies will turn their strategies in the market from desperately working on new products and fighting with competitors to how to reduce risks and persist in the market.

This also indicates that the semiconductor industry will enter a mature stage, which means that on the one hand, the cost of using advanced processes will become higher and higher in the future, and on the other hand, the players in the market will be giants, and new players will have almost no chance to challenge these giants again.

In the next few years, the semiconductor industry will usher in unprecedented corporate mergers and reorganizations, completing the market division.

Qualcomm is a company I am optimistic about. To maintain a leading advantage in future competition, it is not only about having skills, but also having enough ambition and strength to continuously strengthen myself, maintain a leading advantage, and not be swallowed up by opponents. And I have the confidence and ability to lead Qualcomm out of the siege.

Of course, this also requires the people who are sitting here to work together with me to create the future. I believe that our future is extremely bright. When we occupy a dominant market position, we can formulate industry standards according to our wishes. I believe that you should be very clear about the meaning that we can represent once we achieve this goal!"

In order to win over these allies who support him, Andy openly expressed his ideas and future plans to his allies for the first time. To put it bluntly, let the allies know that Andy Smith was not on a whim, but had long-term plans and strong ambitions.

When the heads of several investment institutions heard Andy's words, their eyes flashed and their expressions changed slightly. For investment institutions like them, the continuous growth of the target companies, the expansion of assets, and the surge in market value are undoubtedly fatal tempting.

As for whether Andy Smith was painting a big pie, the six people present did not question, because Andy Smith's journey was a process of acquiring and merger to strengthen himself. They would never doubt Andy Smith, a shark used to predation, would change to vegetarian food. They seemed to have seen that when Andy Smith really straightened out Qualcomm, the semiconductor industry could have a bloody battle and merger!

"Mr. Smith, please rest assured that our Blackstone Group is very happy to be able to cooperate with you. Please make sure you have any questions."

"Yes, Mr. Smith..." …

"Thank you, thank you for your support."

Hearing the statements of the six allies, Andy's smile became brighter and smiled at everyone, "People, please rest assured, the first thing I do when I become the chairman is to return overseas funds and distribute dividends to shareholders."

Nothing can unite people's hearts than interests. As he said this, the six people in the video showed satisfied smiles on their faces. You should know that during the period when Jacobs and his son were in power, the plan for overseas funds dividends was suppressed by various reasons and intentionally ignored. A number of investment institutions had long had their opinions. However, Qualcomm has maintained rapid growth and its stock price has also risen all the way, and all dissatisfactions and contradictions were temporarily suppressed.

With the arrival of the financial crisis, Qualcomm's stock price has been falling all the time, and major investment institutions have also been affected by the financial crisis. They have tightened their belts and lived a life of cash. The investors and Qualcomm management, who were already unhappy about dividends, just at this time, Andy entered the market to carry out malicious acquisitions of Qualcomm and proposed a plan to return overseas funds to dividends, which immediately hit the thoughts of these institutional investors.

In particular, the money-making ability that Andy Smith has always shown is the focus of these greedy investment institutions. For these investment institutions, whoever can bring them more benefits is the master. Moreover, in order to win over them, Andy even threw out a big pie that allows them to invest in their companies in the future. This undoubtedly made the investment institutions that had long been jealous of Andy's high-quality assets very excited.

You should know that although many of Andy's companies have been established for a short time, almost every company has great potential. Wall Street has long been jealous of companies like Mockingbird Games, which are almost like money printing machines.

However, Andy Smith kept holding her hands tightly and she couldn't let go, everyone could only stand aside, drool and watch. Now he promised to take them to play, which was simply the good news they had always dreamed of!

"Everyone, this time I'm really busy with video links with you. I need your help..."

Andy just finished speaking, and the six people in the video window said in the same way: "Please speak."

"Haha, it's not a big deal. I hope you can sell some Qualcomm stocks in a consistent manner in one day in the future!" Andy looked at the six people with different expressions on the computer screen with a burning look, and said firmly.
Chapter completed!
