Chapter 1593 Yes, that is to take advantage of the fire!
Looking back at history, you will find that in the 1980s, many great companies were born around the world, and Qualcomm was one of them.
Intel, which is blindly confident and arrogant, ignores Qualcomm and has been surpassed by Qualcomm in its mobile phone chip business, and will even miss the great opportunity of the mobile Internet.
For many years, Qualcomm has been actively engaged in the patent deployment of CDMA and has promoted CDMA to become the latest standard protocol for the 3G industry.
The purpose of this is to enable almost all enterprises in the industry engaged in the manufacturing and sales of 3g products to sign patent licensing contracts with Qualcomm.
Qualcomm has so many 3g basic patents that even its competitors have to use its patents.
At present, countries around the world are issuing 3g licenses, almost every technical standard of 3g cannot be bypassed by Qualcomm, which owns the intellectual property rights of its main core technologies.
As the founder of cdma technology, Qualcomm has monopolized the use of almost all technology patents related to cdma.
Any company that needs to use CDMA technology patents will pay a considerable amount of patent license fees to Qualcomm.
Now, Andy will become a big shot in the chip industry just through capital operation. Such an experience may make Intel, arm, Apple, four-star, Nvidia and other real big shots and new stars in the chip industry "gripped their teeth" while also increasing their vigilance. The wolf of capital is here!
Everyone knows that chips are at the top of the entire industry and can achieve results relying on long-term continuous R&D investment and accumulation, and there is no shortcut to take.
Not only does it require a lot of time and investment in the early stage, but it still needs to continue to invest in the later stage, and there is no slackness. The chip industry is a rapidly upgrading and iterative industry. If there is no continuous high investment in R&D, the leading advantage may not last long.
However, no one knows how great Andy Smith's appetite and ambitions are. However, when he successfully took over Qualcomm with his superb capital operation and courage, he tasted the sweetness. No one can guarantee whether he will continue to swallow up larger industry peers to build his semiconductor empire.
Semiconductor empire?
Of course, Andy will not stop at a Qualcomm company, nor will she stop at becoming the chairman who only supports the superior shareholders of many institutions!
How could he leave his destiny to others?
Andy has never trusted these institutional investors because he knows better than anyone else that everyone is the same and can never get up early. Today they can abandon the current Qualcomm board members for the benefit, and tomorrow they will kick him out for greater interests!
Two years of experience have made him understand a business principle, becoming a hunter or a prey.
He left the Giants Stadium for celebration first, returned to Gaia Building, stood in front of the electronic screen wall of Liberty City Investment Company, and watched the blood-red numbers beating, and there was only a faint expression on Andy's face.
While enjoying the awe and admiration of his subordinates, he also sighed in his heart what Grandpa Old Smith said to him.
"The way to realize ambition must be paved with the bodies of many victims!"
The plunge of US stocks for two consecutive days once again made the entire market wail. As the initiator, Andy found that he did not feel any guilt at all, but only the joy of achieving his goal! Looking at the enemy's powerless wail after struggling to death, he was only excited!
"Boss, we have started to cause losses..."
Budstone handed Andy a report with a serious expression.
Andy took the report and glanced at the numbers on it, and said lightly: "Loss is inevitable. If you want to reshuffle, it is impossible to pay no cost. The key is whether it depends on whether it is worth it. Compared with what I can get, it doesn't matter."
Even though he leveraged the entire trend, when suppressing Qualcomm's stock price, he still needed to fight with real money and real guns. He suppressed it for two consecutive days in order to clean up all unstable investors.
In the game between bulls and bears, the battle between smashing the market and protecting the market, every time it is a competition of capital, and it is inevitable that losses will occur!
Especially what Andy has to do is to smash the market and absorb the funds without any trace. After all, under Andy's strategy of calculating the funds regardless of cost, losses will naturally occur.
Besides, the shorting part is for yourself to make money. I think it should be able to fill the gap in funds used to smash and absorb funds. However, it is not the time for settlement, so everything has to wait until Andy Smith gets enough chips.
You can't be in a hurry. At the beginning, he chose to give up the overall acquisition strategy, which was that he was unwilling to be extorted by Qualcomm shareholders at high prices, and chose to automatically take a step back to see the overall situation. It is necessary to swallow whales like this, and only one bite at a time can the whole whale be swallowed!
"Before the closing of today, I spent $25, and I want everyone to understand one thing, that is, I, Andy Smith's free bike, can't be taken by anyone!"
"clear!"
Listening to the unanimous response of his subordinates in the hall, Andy nodded with satisfaction, and continued to watch the red numbers on the big screen jumping.
"Dang thump"
The crisp stomping sound of high heels came from behind. Andy looked back and the little assistant walked over with his cell phone.
"Boss, GE CEO Jeff Immelt's phone"
"Oh?" Andy turned to Budstone with a smirk, and said with a smile: "We washed a big fish, and it was a big fish that was about to drown, haha."
A smile appeared on Badstone's face. Isn't everything they did just to get these institutional investors and the so-called "White Knights" to surrender? Now that there is the first one, is the next one still far away!
"Haha, you guys go and have a good chat with our white knight. Tsk, it's time to harvest!"
Although it was unexpected to receive a call from Jeff Immelt, it was reasonable to think about it. After he questioned Qualcomm's board of directors, all the major shareholders and investors of Qualcomm had a crisis of trust with the current Qualcomm board of directors, and expressed their dissatisfaction with the board members' dissatisfaction with the board of directors who ignored shareholder opinions and made large acquisitions.
This undoubtedly made the board of directors wear financial shackles. Faced with the continuous pressure of Andy Smith, who is like a wolf, they can only watch and cannot use funds to start a repurchase plan for the company's stock to support the plummeting stock price. They can only watch Andy Smith ravage Qualcomm's stock price and the white knights in various ways!
Now, there are finally some people who can't hold on. The only buyer who is willing to spend a lot of money to acquire Qualcomm's stock is the only one who wants to make a fortune while cheating Andy Smith. General Electric, which is questioning the media about the fact that General Electric, which is already in danger of protecting itself, still spending valuable working capital to invest in Qualcomm, and facing the angry questioning of General Electric shareholders who have long lost patience, Jeff Immelt has to make a choice. You should know that Ge's stock price performance is already one of the worst among the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Just now, under pressure from radical investors, Immelt had to launch a two-year cost reduction plan to increase profits in core business industrial manufacturing.
Immelt, who was unable to protect himself, had the pride and spirit of the White Knight at the beginning, and there were only regrets and all the ways to save his throne and retire smoothly. As for contacting Andy Smith, it was no longer important whether he would lose his face or feel ashamed.
"...Okay, Jeff, who made our previous cooperation very happy? Let's do it, $28 per share, I want all the Qualcomm stocks in your hands!" Andy raised his lips, put his feet on the desk, leaned against the boss's chair, and said in pain with his eyebrows raised.
"you"
Immelt's eyes were blushing, his face turned red, his hands clamped tightly at the receiver of the phone, and his veins swelled up, and he wanted to leave and hung up the phone. He thought that this call with Andy Smith would be very embarrassing. Even if the negotiations were successful, there would be some losses. However, he never expected Andy Smith to take advantage of the situation.
"Andy, you have to understand that we can wait until Qualcomm's stock price rebounds..."
"Of course, this is your power, so wait and wait. If I ask me to buy it, it's the price. By the way, now, what price will be? I'll say something else. Sorry, Jeff, I still have a chance. You want to think about it. Please contact me after you have considered it." Andy sneered and hung up the phone. At this moment, he no longer cared about the shares in General Electric's hands. If you want stocks, you can just buy them from the secondary market. Although this is a bit slow, since you have a request to yourself, why don't you take advantage of the situation?
Especially his own enemy!
