Chapter 1674 The giant pit will be dug soon

“The board of directors has approved a 6% increase in quarterly cash dividend, from 16 cents a share to 17 cents, and the resolution will take effect on March 1.

Despite the uncertainty of the global economic environment, we will continue to implement the implementation of the established strategy, maintain a strong cash flow level, and ensure the interests of shareholders through stock reviews and dividends."

On the morning of February 26, Andy attended the press conference for the first time as chairman of Qualcomm and announced the latest resolution of the board of directors to the outside world.

At the same time, it is also a disguised implementation of the promises I made to the major shareholders when I first took over the board of directors to canvass votes.

"Mr. Smith, there is news that you are personally continuing to increase your stake in Qualcomm. I would like to ask, is this news true?"

Andy, wearing a straight and close-fitting suit, sat on the rostrum with a smile, looking at the reporters taking photos below, and when he heard the reporter's questions, he couldn't help but nod and replied: "Yes, I'm more optimistic about the future development of Qualcomm than anyone else, which is why I chose to acquire Qualcomm at the beginning.

The stock price is so low now and is completely undervalued, so of course I will choose to buy it."

"Can you think that this is the best time to buy the bottom of the US stock market?"

As soon as this question was asked, all the reporters and staff members of the audience looked at Andy on the rostrum. You should know that Andy Smith's reputation as a financial genius is widely praised by the world, especially when the stock god is losing money and he is the only one who makes a lot of money, people attach great importance to Andy's opinions.

"Haha, this is what you said, I didn't say it." Andy didn't make such a thankless prediction, but just smiled and shook his head, refusing to answer this question.

But finally, I finally got the opportunity to be interviewed honestly. How could these reporters let him go, especially when the stock god was not effective and proactively admitted that he was a failure. The US stock market continued to fall, and the whole people panic again. Facing the only financial genius with outstanding achievements in the financial crisis, how could he give up without asking about the issues that the whole people are concerned about?

"You shook your head and denied it, does it mean that the US stock market will continue to fall? Mr. Smith, can you predict when the US stock market will rebound..."

"Haha, I can't give an answer to this question, because only God knows..."

"Sorry, this is a press conference for Qualcomm. Please don't ask any questions that are not related to the topic."

Faced with more and more reporters asking questions, Andy smiled and turned to look at the press conference host standing beside him, raised his chin slightly to indicate, and the host immediately said to the microphone knowingly.

"A reporter asked Buffett why he didn't invest in a technology industry. Buffett said it was not his advantage. The person who knows the most profoundly about technology companies may not be ranked among the top 1,000 in the world. He believes that instead of asking him, it is better to ask you, he thinks you are the investor who knows the best about this industry. Mr. Smith, what do you think of Buffett, and how do you think of him in a letter to investors two days ago, admitting that he made a mistake last year, which caused the performance of Berkshire to decline sharply?"

Andy, who was smiling on the rostrum and listening to the reporter's question, was a little unresponsive when the reporter asked the question gasped. For a moment, Andy shook his head and laughed and replied: "Thank you Mr. Buffett for your praise. However, I am not an investment expert. As for Mr. Buffett admitting that he made a mistake, the company's performance declined, and in the face of a situation where business activities decline like "Ziyou" decline, who can avoid making mistakes? In the face of the century-old financial tsunami, Mr. Buffett has done a good job. Everything will pass, and I still have confidence in the future. Thank you."

After Andy finished speaking, he stepped back and got up. He wanted to end the press conference that was increasingly off-topic. When he stood up, the host also started to say the ending of the press conference in time. However, the reporters in the audience stopped doing it and immediately left the seat and rushed forward, surrounding Andy without caring about the order of the scene, wanting to interview more content.

The security guards in the venue immediately rushed forward, blocked the reporters in front of him, protected Andy's safety, and slowly moved towards the entrance of the passage. There were all kinds of questions around him, and the scene was very noisy and mixed.

"What do you think about the future economy..."

"Where is the turning point of the stock market..."

"Citibank and zhèngfu reached an agreement to complete nationalization in disguise. Your worries are becoming a reality. What do you think..."

"Affected by factors such as the sharp drop in crude oil, gold futures prices are now down $2.5 per ounce. This is also the third consecutive trading day since the $1,000 mark returned to the $1,000 mark on 0. Mr. Smith, how do you view the next trend of gold..."

Under the tight cover of security, Andy finally moved to the entrance of the passage, and then, through the wall, turned around and said lightly in the flashing light: "be authentic ihe market where is risky! (Investment is risky, you must be cautious when entering the market!)"

"Click click"

After Andy said that, he turned around and left, leaving only a figure for the reporters, behind him was the sound of shutters.

Andy, who returned to the chairman's office, loosened the tie on his neck, sat in the boss's chair, lay lazily, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, sat up straight, moved the boss's chair, picked up a folder in the office, opened it and looked.

The document contains detailed information about Qualcomm's mobile phone department. Next, he plans to separate out the mobile phone department that is already very marginalized in Qualcomm, and then acquire and set up a mobile phone company by himself.

In order to promote CDMA, Qualcomm produced and manufactured CDMA mobile phones by itself, with a complete and mature mobile phone production line and technical reserves. As long as he acquired Qualcomm's mobile phone department, it was essentially equivalent to acquiring a mobile phone manufacturer. With Andy's urine, how could he have flowed into outsiders' fields?

In addition, he has always been thinking about creating a large-screen mobile phone that is still looked down upon by Apple. Of course, the most important thing is to build patent barriers around the development and application of a series of appearance patents for mobile phones, such as bangs, curved screens and other patents such as mobile phone cameras, voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, etc., because in Andy's view, the ATMs he will face in the future are not just Apple, but also four-star and all mobile phone companies around the world.

The sale of the mobile phone department has been decided by the board of directors. It is the first time to get the most out of the market. In the face of similar bids from competitors, it is easier for Andy to acquire the mobile phone department, and there is no suspicion of internal transactions.

"Tsk tsk...what is the name of the phone?" Andy frowned and thought with a headache. His fingers hit the tabletop and muttered.

"Buzz"

At this moment, the phone on the desk began to buzz, interrupting Andy's thinking, picked up the phone and looked at it, smiled slightly, and picked it up.

"Dear, is it over there?"

Andy leaned against the boss' chair and heard Ivana's voice on the phone, and said softly with a smile: "It's over, I'll go back to pick you up soon. Are you ready?"

"There's nothing to prepare, okay, then come back soon, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Andy asked curiously.

"Let's talk about it when we meet, okay, I'll die, hurry up."

"Okay, I'll leave now." Andy stood up from the boss's chair, and while talking on the phone, he closed the folders on the desktop, and then found a few of them from the stack of folders beside him. After hanging up the phone, he grabbed the stack of folders in his hand. After thinking about it, he made sure that nothing was missing, and walked out.

After walking out of the office, handing the folder to Martin, he took a group of bodyguards to the apron on the rooftop with the elevator.

"Dadadada"

The sound of the propeller of the helicopter attracted the attention of the reporters surrounded outside the Qualcomm headquarters. They looked up at the sky one by one, and looked disappointed on their faces. However, many reporters raised their high-power cameras in their hands and began to capture and capture the shooting.

"Pok~"

Andy walked off the helicopter and looked at the blonde standing in front of the mansion of Ziyou City, wearing a long blue loose round-neck shirt, jeans and white shoes. He walked quickly to her side, put his arms around her waist, kissed her, and laughed softly, "What's the matter, you have to meet before you can tell me?"

"Dear, I want to sponsor Nadia Surman's two-year diapers. The Vivid Entertainment Company is so disgusting. You must not let these bastards succeed!" Ivana hugged Andy's waist, walked into Ziyou's city together, and handed Andy a newspaper to Andy.

Andy was amused and laughed at the newspaper reports.
