Back to 1995

Chapter 447
The stock prices of a group of electronic component companies headed by 3M suddenly soared collectively, which surprised countless people.

One of the chemical companies in Houston that supplies battery raw materials saw its share price jump by more than 24% in just a few minutes, which made the founder of this chemical company a little confused.

The strength of this Houston chemical company is not strong, that is, in the past few years, it has begun to transform battery raw materials, etc., to produce the latest lithium battery materials, but compared with other chemical giants, it is still far inferior.

But this time, the stock price of this chemical company was bought like crazy in just a few minutes, almost before the market closed.

"Funk, can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Dikole, who was discussing with a group of invited chemical experts, had newly introduced a batch of production equipment, and came out of the factory in a hurry after hearing the call from the accountant.

This chemical plant was inherited by Dikler from his father. Dikler, who looks tall and has a hot temper, graduated from the Chemical Engineering Department of the Colorado School of Mines.

Before Dickler took over the chemical plant, the chemical plant was already half dead, that is, here in Texas, relying on some connections, it was able to receive some orders.

After Dikler took over, he carried out drastic reforms to the chemical plant. He identified the direction of battery development and bet on the production of raw materials for the lithium battery industry.

Battery materials are updated rapidly. After the rise of nickel-cadmium batteries in the 80s, nickel-metal hydride batteries appeared in the past few years, but Dikler bet on the lithium battery that has just begun to emerge.

Lithium battery was the first concept proposed by Sony five years ago, but the price is too expensive, and the battery capacity is too small, so there are very few users. Sony can only use the lithium battery it produces for its own products.

But Dickler has spotted the lithium battery market. Dell and other computer manufacturers have begun to slowly use lithium batteries, and even regard them as a selling point.

Dickler does not expect to become a giant in the lithium battery industry, but only hopes that when the era of lithium batteries really comes in the future, his small chemical factory will also be able to follow suit and not be eliminated.

But today's sudden soaring stock price made Dickler a little bit cursing. He didn't know if someone was maliciously buying his chemical plant. You must know that the market value of this chemical plant is less than 1 million US dollars, but today it directly The market value has increased by almost one-third, and the skyrocketing value is a good thing, but the sudden skyrocketing made Di Kele feel a little panicked.

"Currently, there is no company that has declared that it wants to buy us, and most of the people who bought our stock today are Wall Street institutions, including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan!"

The accountant’s words made Dickler feel even more absurd. He didn’t know how his ruined chemical factory could be seen by the Wall Street institutions. This chemical factory has been listed for more than ten years, but it has been half dead. It's a huge sum of money to buy, and I can't wait to buy short the stocks of the entire chemical plant.

The phone in the office rang, and the accountant felt even more weird when he heard the content on the phone. He couldn't help but said to Di Kohler, "It's an investment institution on Wall Street, and we want to conduct research here!"

Hearing this, Dickler couldn't help but said to the accountant, "Damn it, ask these organizations, what are they going to do?"

After a while, when he heard the news coming back, Dukler's eyes widened, "Is it because we are one of the battery suppliers for Alcatel's P1 mobile phone?"

After repeated confirmation, the accountant nodded affirmatively, "I think the sales of Alcatel P1 mobile phones may have exceeded the estimate. So far, they have sold... 11 units!"

At this time, the financial channel on the TV station and the Wall Street media have also begun to report the sales of P1. In the morning, P1 was still a little unknown, but in the afternoon, the situation changed suddenly. First, the P1 mobile phone in England, Germany and other places, It was sold short directly, and then the Asian market also reported that the inventory was in short supply.

In the end, in America, the New York market, which had a full stock of 1 P[-] mobile phones, didn't last even a day, and they were sold out in the afternoon.

"Alcatel's P1 mobile phone, which went on sale today, has sold more than 12 units worldwide, and some regions have begun to be out of stock. The P1 mobile phone manufacturer announced that it will supply products to the market as soon as possible.

Some electronics industry analysts predict that the P1 mobile phone may become a dark horse in the mobile phone industry this year, and many professional electronics organizations have given high marks to the P1 mobile phone.

Affected by this news, the stock prices of P1 mobile phone parts suppliers and electronic retailers have all risen sharply today! "

Watching the news on the TV, it took a while for Dickler to come back to his senses. He remembered that at the end of last year, the people from Alcatel mobile phone came to find him and asked Dickler to provide battery production for Alcatel mobile phone. Material.

At that time, the orders for Alcatel's mobile phones were not large. Dickler wanted to take orders from big manufacturers such as Dell, Compaq, and Motorola, but those big brands didn't think much of his broken factory. Dikler had just taken the order for the Alcatel phone.

But now, watching the news on TV, Dikler suddenly stood up, knowing that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Call Alcatel Mobile, no, I'll go there in person, I remember Bruno Song, the major shareholder of Alcatel Mobile, is also from Houston, we want to win the battery order for Alcatel Mobile, we must!"

Di Koller explained to the accountant, asking him to buy the new production equipment immediately, and then hurried to San Jose.

Dikoller is not the first to rush towards San Jose. A mobile phone has hundreds of different parts and raw materials. Behind a mobile phone is an industrial chain, raw materials, parts, production plants, agents Sellers, sales staff, etc., all added up, may be related to the livelihood of tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people!
If it is like Apple in the era of smartphones, it is not only about hardware devices, but also related to software development. Just one software content developer can provide more than 180 million jobs, and it has completely become a big tail existence. Relying on the job provided by that brand, if you want to drive it away, you can't just talk about it, and you can do it with just a few words...

It is naturally impossible for the current Alcatel P1 mobile phone to achieve that step, but it is still possible to affect some parts suppliers, agents and the like!
Yanjing, in the venture capital building of Star Wish Foundation, which belongs to the office of 8848 e-commerce. Since its establishment last year, 8848 has more than 80 people. This scale is no longer considered in today's domestic Internet. When I was young, Boss Ma in Lin'an City only had one person by his side...

At this time, 8848 was very busy. With the investment of Star Wish Foundation, 8848 developed the first e-commerce website in China. At the beginning of the year, it officially began to operate online.

Now 8848 is mainly cooperating with Lianbang Software to help Lianbang Software sell software on the 8848 platform. Not long after the site opened, 8848 paid a lot of money, and cooperated with dozens of media such as Central Media, Yangcheng Evening News, Yanjing TV, and Oriental TV. A "72-hour network survival test" was conducted.

This is a big show full of gimmicks, but in this period of Internet frenzy, this Internet experiment was reported and reprinted by more than two hundred media, making 8848 famous and becoming another company after Ying Haiwei that made the entire country famous. The attention-grabbing Internet company has also made the name of e-commerce the first Internet concept in China. Now a large number of websites under the banner of e-commerce have emerged in China.

"All the P8848 mobile phones on the 1 platform have been sold out!"

In the office, Wang Juntao was obviously taken aback when he heard the name of the operator running in, "Sold out all five hundred machines?"

Since its opening, 8848 has mainly helped Lianbang sell software. Relying on the popularity of Lianbang Software, 8848 has developed smoothly. Last month’s revenue exceeded the 50 mark, which is rare in the domestic Internet industry. exist.

This time, 8848 is also cheering for the big boss's P1 mobile phone. 8848 has obtained 8848 phones and sold them on the platform. In fact, it is also trying to add new products.

It was just an attempt, and Wang Juntao didn't even think he could sell it. After all, the price of a P1 mobile phone is more than 4000 RMB, which is 90 RMB in the 4000s, and the monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only a few hundred or less!

The operator nodded affirmatively, and said excitedly, "Mr. Wang, I think we should transfer another batch of phones from Alcatel to sell on the platform immediately!"

P1 mobile phones are not cheap, but they can be called conscience in China today. Compared with brands such as Motorola, Nokia, and Ericsson, the old models of last year or even the year before are sold in China for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. The Chinese version is provided. In comparison, the P1 mobile phone has much more powerful functions, and it is a Chinese system. For users who want to buy a mobile phone, there is no need to choose which one to choose.

In less than a day, more than 500 machines were sold, that is, in this day, 8848's revenue exceeded 200 million, more than four times the revenue of last month, which far exceeded Wang Juntao's imagine.

Wang Juntao picked up the phone and called Fang Qiuyu, wanting him to coordinate another batch of phones from Alcatel's phone. Everyone crowded around Fang Qiuyu.

After hearing Wang Juntao's words, Fang Qiuyu immediately replied, which made Fang Qiuyu dumbfounded, "Out of stock, not a single machine now!"

"no stock?"

Wang Juntao knew that Fang Qiuyu would not fool him for such a thing, but he couldn't help but said, "I remember, the Alcatel mobile phone production line is in Yanjing, right?"

The production line is right next door, so I can't get the machine out, is that okay?
