Reborn Financial Overlord

How to do?

Thinking of what Luo Wayne said, one after another severe pain spread from his heart.

Yi Luo Wayne has always been shameless and will definitely do this. If he poachs the owner of the company at a high price, he will not be able to fulfill the animation delivery contract with Disney, and he will definitely be sued for bankruptcy.

This is how to do?

It's black in front of you.

Stephen Jobs turned purple and fell headfirst onto the desk.

California Meconda Hospital, ICU ward.

The white-haired Stephen Jobs was lying on the bed, unknown.

Shen Jiannan was outside the glass window, looking at this legendary figure who should have been recorded in history, with calm eyes and a calm face.

Beside him, Luo Wayne couldn't tell what his boss was thinking, and he was a little uneasy. He didn't expect that his few words would make Jobs so angry that he was admitted to the ICU.

Just now the doctor has notified Jobs' wife and asked her to prepare for the funeral.

This guy is too careless.

Unable to see Shen Jiannan's joy or anger, Luo Wayne said awkwardly: "I didn't expect this to happen."

Shen Jiannan turned around and walked out of the hospital with big strides. He didn't lower the glass until he got into the car and said to Luo Wayne: "Tomorrow, I need to see the news of Pixar's acquisition."

Rolls-Royce, already turned on the headlights and went away.

Luo Wayne was shivered by a chill in his heart, but when he thought of Shen Jiannan's last words, he felt ecstasy again.

With the means of this financial giant, as long as he wins Pixar, the company's stock price will surely rise again, and his net worth will follow suit.

Soon, Jobs' wife, Laura Powell, rushed to the hospital from Manhattan.

The strategist who worked on varieties of income at Goldman Sachs is obviously much more rational.

Apple, which has been the hottest hot topic in the market recently, has received a large-scale capital injection from First International Capital. It cannot compete with the acquisition of Pixar no matter what.

On the contrary, with the despicable means of that oriental devil, Pixar can even be brought down completely, and the company can be turned into an empty shell without paying a dime.

Unless a large consortium such as Rockefeller or Goldman Sachs can help.

But Rockefeller would not be interested in animation studios, and Goldman Sachs also mainly cooperates with the Federal Reserve, and it will certainly not be at odds with First International Capital because of Pixar.

several trade-offs.

Laura Powell, as the legal heir, signed a Pixar equity transfer contract with Apple.

The next day.

Apple announced that the company has acquired 100% of the shares of Pixar Animation Company for US$[-] million.

On that day, Apple's stock price rose sharply, and the market rose to $30 billion.

Three days later.

The Silicon Valley News released a piece of news: Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple, died yesterday in the California Meconda Hospital.

at this time.

Conference room at Apple headquarters.

More than a dozen major shareholders from various countries sat in the conference room and listened to the analysis of the company's operating policies for the second half of the year by the president Jean-Louis Gassi.

Since 85, due to the restriction of Microsoft patents on the computer industry, the market share of Apple products has been declining.

Because the vast majority of computers are used for business purposes, their primary value lies in the software that is loaded on them.

And nearly all software developed is designed for windows, and every software developer has to make a choice: spend only what is necessary to create programs for windows or spend almost twice as much and eat apples.

As a result, Apple's sales have been greatly affected and continue to decline.

Jean-Louis Garcy was previously the director of the French branch. As one of the world's largest luxury brand countries, Garcy believes that the product line should be pushed in two directions, namely more "open" and higher prices. He sells low-end and low-profit Apple products will only erode the added value of the brand.

If a more advanced brand is created and a cutting-edge route is taken, it may be able to make up for the decline in profits caused by the decline in market share.

Major shareholders are investment institutions from various countries.

After listening to Jean-Louis Gassi's speech, they all looked at Wang Jianchuan, the representative of the chief shareholder, First International Capital.

This high-achieving student who graduated from Tsinghua University in the past joined First International Capital not long ago, and his duty is to be responsible for the shareholder representative of Apple.

At this time, I saw a pair of eyes cast over, and said: "I think. The company's current problem is not a market problem, but our own technology problem is seriously threatened by Microsoft. Compared with the increase in the brand value of the product, the core technology Only by improving can the company develop in the long run.”

This proposal immediately drew opposition from other major shareholders.

Microsoft's share of core computer technology is as high as 90.00%. Apple wants to break through its defenses under this monopoly, and it is simply hitting a stone with a pebble.

"The company's current profits can still be seen. There is no shortage of rich people in various countries. I support the strategy of Jiaxi. If the brand value is redeveloped, I believe it can make up for the loss of market share decline."

"The research and development of the core system requires very high costs, and the company's finances are currently not enough to support us to develop technologies that can compete with Microsoft."

"Mr. Wang, I think you have overlooked the obstacles that Microsoft software has hindered us. Even if we can improve our core technology, it is impossible to compete with Microsoft. This is not worth the candle."

"..."

Opposed.

Unanimous opposition.

In addition to Wang Jianchuan's identity as a Huaxia person is uncomfortable, it can be regarded as a clear objection.

Under the premise of cooperation, it is undoubtedly a very uneconomical deal to invest high costs by yourself.

that's it.

Wang Jianchuan looked at everyone's objection indifferently, and then said: "Then let's vote to decide."

This is the practice of the board of directors.

When there are major policy differences, votes are used to resolve issues.

As soon as Wang Jianchuan said this, many established major shareholders raised their opponents one after another.

One......

two......

three...

Fifteen shareholder representatives raised twelve hands.

All against it.

After sweeping around the major shareholders who raised their hands, Wang Jianchuan also raised his hands: "Share 50.00% three."

I am grass mud horse!

A group of people who raised their hands almost wanted to scold their mothers.

This makes everyone vote. If you play a one-vote veto, aren't you playing with people?

Wang Jianchuan ignored the reactions of these people and said: "The company's current problems are not only due to technical problems. Our products are too scattered. We can completely reduce the number of engineers developing, reduce the intensity of software development and reduce the number of dealers. , Concentrating limited energy and funds on the cutting edge."

"At the same time. The production cost in the United States is too high. We can completely build assembly lines and production lines in underdeveloped countries with lower costs."

"For example, China."

"Huaxia's labor cost is about [-] dollars per person per month. Moreover, there is no need to pay additional expenses such as insurance. On this basis, our production costs can be reduced by at least ten times, or even twenty times."

fifty dollars?

a month?

The major shareholders present were all dumbfounded.

The salary in the United States is about [-] yuan a week, and workers need to pay various government-regulated social insurances.

Calculated by each person, the labor cost per person needs to pay more than 2000 US dollars per month.

And these are just ordinary workers.

Electronic production is a labor-intensive industry. Therefore, Apple's labor expenses account for a huge cost.

If the production cost can be reduced on a large scale, the company's competitiveness in the market can be reduced and the market share can be greatly increased.

Wang Jianchuan looked indifferently at the shareholders and executives who were whispering to each other, and continued: "We can continue to submit Microsoft's monopoly issue to the Ministry of Justice. Their unlimited monopoly poses a fatal threat to all companies in Silicon Valley."

"According to the Antitrust Act, Microsoft's software has mandatory installation, which is a huge obstacle to technological progress. We can contact other companies to request the Department of Justice to conduct an antitrust investigation."

"..."

The opportunity for one of the No.20 Erjiuding cores has come

In the late 80s, American petroleum, coal mining, oil extraction, tobacco, and sugar refining.In industries such as medicine, a comprehensive monopoly has emerged in the competition of capital.

The consortium headed by Rockefeller hit the market with low prices, forcing small and medium-sized business owners and farmers to lower their sales prices, and eventually went bankrupt due to continuous losses, and had to sell the company or change careers.

Relying on this kind of capital competition, the opponents are defeated, and then annexation is implemented, and then monopoly, which brings excess profits to monopoly capitalists.

Just like Taotie opened its mouth wide, the monopoly consortium swallowed up all industries, accounting for almost 90.00% of the market[-]. Therefore, there are even regulations in various industries that do not allow underwriters to use other companies' products.

In the post-monopoly market, resource prices began to rise steadily.

Petroleum, coal, cooking oil, sugar, cotton, and even medicines are like capitalists who have calculated the average income of each person. After excluding the necessary expenses of daily life, an ordinary family can't even save more than ten dollars a month.

If there is an illness, no one will go to the hospital to buy medicine. They really can't resist it and wait for death.

And it is against this background that insurance products and credit card products, which are regarded as rubbish, have grown rapidly. The financial giants headed by Morgan vigorously developed the insurance business and credit card business, and successfully earned Americans even 30 years later. lifetime income.

Without experiencing that era, it is impossible to imagine how crazy that kind of monopoly is.

In the American paradise that everyone thinks, the farmers and working class are almost at risk, and they can only spend their days curled up in a dark room at the end of each month.

For example, a story in economics.

One very cold winter, the little girl asked her mother why the family didn't burn coal. The mother said that there was very little coal in the house, and her father was unemployed again, so coal should be used sparingly.

The little girl asked her father why she lost her job, and her mother said it was because there was too much coal.

Many people think that this is a story model in the Great Depression.

However, in fact, this is not what happened in the Great Depression, but a microcosm of ordinary families when the American economy was booming, and that era was called the Trust era.

An era in which bread will not be sold if it is moldy or thrown away.

An era where the average monthly income was three hundred dollars, but the common cold could cost a hundred dollars or die.

Such an era, even the economic structure of liberal capitalism, is unbearable.

Thousands of small and medium-sized business owners and farmers went bankrupt, resulting in mass unemployment, which finally aroused the upsurge of the anti-trust movement among the American people.

Violence, crimes, and even gun-toting anti-government spread everywhere. In order to ease social conflicts, the U.S. government finally issued an antitrust bill to split up the monopoly consortium headed by Rockefeller.

It is also based on the antitrust act.

In 1989, due to the bankruptcy and liquidation of many emerging Internet companies in Silicon Valley, the US Federal Trade Commission led by Mrs. Stangel, an antitrust law expert, began to investigate Microsoft.

A three-year survey showed that.

Microsoft bundles the operating system with application software, and deliberately sets up concealed codes in the operating system, hinders the operation of rival applications, and so on.

So the following year, the antitrust Federal Trade Commission voted on whether to sue Microsoft.

But in the end, the four executive committee members voted two to two, and the vote was deadlocked.

In view of the provisions of the US anti-monopoly law 60 years ago, both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice can directly file lawsuits against companies suspected of monopoly, and the Federal Trade Commission transferred the case to the Department of Justice.

However, since Internet companies are emerging industries, the past anti-monopoly laws mainly targeted the resource industry, and there was no evidence to confirm Microsoft's monopoly.

As a result, the Department of Justice has so far been unable to define whether Microsoft violated the Trust Act.

After listening to Wang Jianchuan's words, the major shareholders present were stunned.

If Microsoft was so easy to sue, Apple wouldn't be so bad these years, and those companies in Silicon Valley wouldn't go bankrupt.

Stephen King of Anshui Fund shrugged his shoulders and said: "Ross of Microsoft's legal team has a very good relationship with Justice Silberman. The previous investigation and prosecution of Microsoft by the Ministry of Justice were rejected by Silberman."

According to the antitrust law, if you want to sue Microsoft, you must first go through investigation and evidence collection, and win a judgment from the Washington District Court.

And the final trial will go to the District of Columbia.

As a giant in the Internet industry, Microsoft has almost the same influence as Rockefeller in the oil field and Morgan in the financial field, and various political relationships are intertwined.

Therefore, the US Federal Trade Commission led by Mrs. Stangel, an antitrust law expert, has been investigating and collecting evidence for four years, and it has nothing to do with Microsoft.

Hearing the helplessness of the major directors and the legal department, Wang Jianchuan just said lightly: "We don't need to worry about this issue. What we have to do now is to contact other companies and file a joint lawsuit against Microsoft with the Ministry of Justice."
