Chapter 191 Private Jet Lingxi
"Okay, anyway, I'm always the one who works." Melissa's tone did not seem to be complaining, but instead she was a little arrogant.
"Of course, you are the most important person around me, so you also need to form your secretary team. While helping you decompose your workload, you also need to train them, and then release them when there is a suitable opportunity. This will help us strengthen our control over investment and equity-based companies. Talents are still easy to cultivate by themselves."
"I heard you want to invest in a boy from Fordman's family?"
"What? Your family has something to do with the Fordman family?" Cang Yaozu asked. He really didn't know the relationship between these families in California.
"There are some commercial cooperations, all local families in California, and they look down and see each other."
"Depending on what you mean, it won't be a bullshit marriage or something?"
"Isn't marriage normal? Only people of the same class will have more common topics. My father's new wife has some relationship with their family. Although it's a bit far away, my mother was very angry at the time, but after so many years, she has a new family and children, so it doesn't matter."
"Well, it's just an investment. Sports cameras are indeed a bit pissy, but they are not very critical corporate layout. I mainly want to contact those lens companies in Sakura Country. By the way, you can also find ways to get some shares in the German Carl Zeiss company. In the future, lenses will also be a very critical technology."
"You want to enter the camera field? Zeiss is not listed, the shareholder structure is very stable, and it is very difficult to invest."
"I'm not going to enter the camera industry, but I want to enter the mobile phone industry. This is an industry I attach great importance to. I started to acquire technical patents related to mobile phones as early as last year. The most important aspects of future mobile phones are: in addition to chip operating systems, LCD screens, lithium batteries, and cameras, which are all important spare parts."
"Camera? Do you need a camera on your phone? Why haven't I seen a phone with a camera?"
"Of course you haven't seen it. This is because there is no one in the market yet. We are already developing related technologies. In the future, you will definitely see mobile phones that can take photos, and it is not impossible to make video calls.
The mobile phone we are going to produce is a brand new smartphone based on the RISC-V architecture. It does not have a physical keyboard, has a dual front and rear camera, has a large LCD screen, is powered by a lithium-ion battery, and is equipped with a smartphone operating system we developed ourselves. After a period of development, mobile phones can completely replace digital cameras. Even the MP3 player that we have developed has not yet been launched will eventually be replaced by smartphones."
"Wow, since the MP3 player has been developed, why don't you put the goods quickly? When the smartphone is launched, won't you make no money?"
"It's not that fast. Smartphones still have a long way to go, at least three years. At the same time, smartphones are much more expensive than MP3 players. In the early stages of smartphones, they definitely do not have the better sound quality of MP3 players. MP3 players have a good market in 5 years."
"No wonder you and Edgar little spent money to buy Polygon. It turned out to be for the copyright of music."
"Yes, we also want to acquire some small brands of BD Records, such as Viking Records, and BD Records' branch in China. It is difficult to acquire BD's overall. First, it may be stopped due to monopoly problems. In addition, we have insufficient funds and must slow down, so we can only make small fuss. Now the website and client are ready. The overall design of the MP3 player has been completed and the prototype has been produced. The next step is mass production. The first generation of MP3 players is metal and has a triangle shape. We call it an iron triangle. In a few days, some luxury custom models will be sent here. I will give you a few to play with them at that time. The effect is really great."
"Why are there any luxury customization models? Is this one also luxurious? How much does it cost to luxury customization models?"
"The metal used in luxury custom models is more expensive, which is the metal alloys used in the aerospace field. While they are lighter and thinner, the memory capacity is also larger. The decoding chips and LCD screens are specially customized. The cost of each MP3 player is about $500, and the cost of ordinary models is about $150. After large-scale mass production, as the technology and component performance improve, the cost will be further reduced. This cost will be reduced to at least $100. The market unified retail price of MP3 players is $499."
"US$499? Is this a bit expensive?"
"It's OK. The style of $399 will be slowly launched in the future, but this is the price in the early stage. If you have a higher price, just be higher. Anyway, there are no competitors."
"Did you get the copyright of Warner, EMI and Sony?"
"This part is left to Edgar Jr. He has talked with several music companies for several rounds. Warner and Edgar Jr. have obtained the music copyright. Edgar Jr. has signed a three-year exclusive music copyright license with these two companies, with a guaranteed minimum of 30 million US dollars per year, and the sales share will be 55% share. Only if the guaranteed amount exceeds the guaranteed amount will be paid.
Sony is still talking about it. They have always wanted to promote their MD players. Sony wants to establish its own standards and is not willing to exclusively license the copyright of music to us, but if it is not exclusive, it should not be a big problem.
Now they can't figure out how much digital music market is, so they'll just be confused for a while. The worst result is nothing more than not signing it to us.
Of course, even if they are authorized, they should not sign exclusive authorization. If they do not sign exclusive, they will only be divided into 30% of the total. Well, the contract penalty signed by Edgar is relatively high, 20 times the contract amount."
"Did you just collaborate with them using Universal Music?"
"Of course not. I cooperated with them using MP3 Music Store. I own 60% of this music store company, 20% of Edgar Jr., 5% of Universal, Edgar, Warner and Sony each. By the way, this company will also be listed, and will be listed at the end of next year at the latest. Please pay more attention to this aspect."
"Okay, it seems that the plane is about to land. This plane is really good. It doesn't affect daily office work at all."
"Yes, private jets are the favorites of those executives. Those workaholics feel uncomfortable if they don't work for a while. Of course, it is also my favorite. The privacy is so good that they can do a lot of things."
"You don't do anything illegal or criminal, that's nothing good. By the way, should the company buy more private jets?"
"I'm naturally responsible and relax. The company usually doesn't use such a large private jet. I have placed an order for 10 business jets in Gulfstream, but asked them to upgrade the GV to the G550. Who knows how long it will take for them to complete it. Boeing also has developed BJJ business jets, and they are also developing subsequent B777-300ER models. I have booked one and I will give it up until the new private jet is delivered."
"Then you can only use this plane yourself?"
"How can you all use it, Sheriel or Eiger, just go to this level."
"I heard you promised Emily and Scarlett to take them on this plane and eat them. You said you have a proper position? They are still so young."
"This has nothing to do with me. It was the two little girls who strongly requested it. I was completely passive, and I wouldn't do anything excessive. It's just a joke."
"Then when will you go back to China? I want to go with you, I want to be the first one on this plane. By the way, are Achu and you?"
"Uh, okay, just be happy, oh, I'm very happy, very happy, come, let's kiss one first. Hehe, Achu and me, not yet, she said she would wait until we get married, and she would be worried."
"Haha, then you have to wait. Will you marry Achu?"
"This, for the time being, is uncertain. After all, I have to consider everyone's feelings."
At this time, Achu also came out of the cockpit of the plane. She had just visited the cockpit of the plane and was curious about what the captain looked like when flying the plane.
The private plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport. The plane has not been painted or has no name yet. What is its name? What is it called? The Sea God? Maserati? Google? Five Elements?
It's not very suitable, oh, it can be called Lingxi. Although it is not as powerful as Princess Saltena's stick-shaped spacecraft from Lingxi Nebula, and it is powerful enough to shuttle between galaxies, it is also a great plane.
Yes, it is called Lingxi, and the color is painted orange-red. Well, the color of Lingxi Stone is the color of the sun. A Lingxi Stone pattern is drawn on each side, perfect. You can fly back to China after the painting is completed.
Lu Chuqing has been on holiday for a month, and she has been having fun here for a long time. In a few days, her grandmother’s 70th birthday will be. She will have to go back to deal with the matter of CQ Fashion Company. She also needs to pay attention to Cang Yaozu’s other industries in Yandu from time to time and can’t delay any further.
Cang Yaozu's financial team is already very skilled in foreign exchange operations during the Asian financial crisis. Cang Yaozu gave some of his judgments. After the general principles were decided, he would not be able to do much. Therefore, Cang Yaozu gave the financial team greater operational authority.
After sorting out the big things about making money, Cang Yaozu can stay for a while when she returns to China this time. In addition to Cang Yaozu, Lu Chuqing and Melissa, there are also Jennifer and Charlize. Jennifer will join the crew in 10 days to shoot the next season of "Friends". Charlize has just finished filming the first "The Matrix". After a while, the second filming will start filming. "The Lord of the Rings" has just begun filming, and she has not yet captured the scenes of the Elf Queen. In short, she may have to stay in Australia and New Zealand in the past year.
This time Jennifer called her to accompany her, and Cang Yaozu was also very happy. It was also a problem to get along with Charlize too little. I hope this trip to China will improve. He took four girls to board the Lingxi plane. Well, the 777 aircraft after painting looks very beautiful, and the overall appearance is pink and orange. There are two pink gems in the middle and front, with some gem cutting patterns, and the color is darker than the fuselage. It looks like one from a distance, and you can see the clear gem shape when you look close.
At the same time, more than 20 accompanying security and secretaries and flight attendants were also boarding the plane. When Cang Yaozu was with a few girls, the corresponding number of security personnel would be reduced and some security personnel would be given holidays. After all, when protected personnel gathered together, they could jointly undertake security tasks. Cang Yaozu has always attached great importance to security. After he established super security, the management of these security personnel has also become standardized.
This time I go back to China, I have to take time to go to South Korea to deal with the acquisition of Hynix by Shengdian Company.
Shengdian has been living a very comfortable life recently. After several months of research and development, the founder of the company has overcome NANDFlash multi-layer unit storage technology. In the future, Shengdian's products will mainly be solid-state drives, memory sticks, flash memory cards and some control chips. Cang Yaozu's USB drive and MP3 will bring a large number of orders to Shengdian.
With the breakthrough in Shengdian's technology and the construction of wafer factories, Shengdian's stock price has also risen again and again in recent months. It has now exceeded US$10 and its market value has reached US$2 billion. With the large number of U disks and MP3s on the market, it will be a natural thing to exceed the US$10 billion mark within one or two years.
In the past year, Cang Yaozu has allowed Shengdian to accumulate hundreds of millions of US dollars, and then its market value has increased sharply. Through equity financing, it has obtained nearly US$1 billion from banks. The 1.2 billion US dollars has recently entered the Korean foreign exchange market. It has built positions and shorted Korean won through financial leverage. This part of Shengdian's funds only used 5 times of financial leverage, and shorted Korean won by 6 billion US dollars. The position building point is around 900 won against 1 US dollar.
This is just the funds for Shengdian to short the Korean won. Cang Yaozu's financial team has other funds to short the Korean won. The scale is several times that of Shengdian's 1.2 billion US dollars. South Korea is also considered a big fat sheep. Cang Yaozu will definitely follow up and must bite a large piece of meat.
The reason why Cang Yaozu let Shengdie also enter the financial market is that Cang Yaozu is preparing to let Shengdie acquire South Korea's modern memory, namely Hynix. The company went public in 1996 and acquired LG memory in 1999. After reintegrating, it will be a major competitor of Shengdie in the memory industry.
Taking advantage of Hynix's current listing and its market value is not high, it is catching up with the trough period of the semiconductor industry and even all industries in South Korea, the Korean foreign exchange market and stock market plummeted. Then it would be a good time to not acquire it.
South Korea's semiconductor industry is rising rapidly with the support of Citigroup. Samsung Electronics and Hynix will be the leaders of the semiconductor industry. Cang Yaozu can't chew Samsung Electronics, but Hynix can still consider it. Cang Yaozu is ready to sharpen the knife first and then let the bullets fly for a while. As long as it is November this year, it will be a good time to start, and it will definitely be a good season for harvest. Cang Yaozu will go to South Korea in person and strive to acquire several more companies.
