Reborn American Tycoon

"Tsk, yes, if you continue to develop like this, it is impossible for the Ministry of Justice to turn a blind eye."
Jobs still has feelings for Apple, and his current mentality is very contradictory.I don't want to see this company go down, but I don't want to see it take off.
Of course, if William White acquires this company, he is very sure that he is quite competitive for the position of CEO.
He is very clear about William White's character, and he is quite fond of those who are capable.A hostile takeover of Oracle could kick Larry Ellison out.He can also hire this guy with a high salary to return. He still admires this kind of mind and courage.
"CD player? What is it, what company made it, and how much is it?"
"Boss, it is said that William White fiddled with it when he had nothing to do. Although this is a beta version, there is no problem. As for the price, this software is free and can be downloaded and purchased at will on NBC Online. Office suits will also be given away for free."
Listening to the report of his subordinates, Bill Gates felt pain in his egg.His previous plan was that this should be a product of some studio, and it was directly incorporated.His 3.1 system will add these multimedia functions.
It's different now, including William White?
Just kidding, he worries all the time that he will be included.This is why the two have talked for so long.
Look at the oracle bone inscriptions right now, isn't it just included by this guy?Bill Gates' goals are very ambitious, and he doesn't want to be a little brother.
"Go and notify the legal department for a meeting."
"Okay, boss."
Bill Gates is very aware of William White's style. With so many properties in his hands, how could he be free.Not to mention him, even myself, I seldom write source code myself.
People plan to sell this player software, so it cannot be included with your operating system.This involves the relationship of fair competition, which is not so easy to break through.
Doing business in the United States is such nonsense.Why do you rarely see any hypermarkets in urban areas?Not because the rent is expensive.
It’s okay for you to open a hypermarket, if it hits the surrounding convenience stores.You can't continue to open this store because it is suspected of unfair competition.
McDonald's can operate 24 hours in China, and can also sell breakfast part-time.If you try it in the United States, you will definitely be sued for bankruptcy.The reason is very simple, what business do you do, just keep doing it, don't try to play cross-border.Especially that kind of group company.
A small new product release has triggered various ideas in the IT industry.I have to say that there are really many smart people.
They now finally understand why William White must engage in dynamic memory.If this thing is not in his hands, there will definitely be problems with his cost control.
It's all right now, not only did he succeed, but he also took the initiative back again.
"What, a third-party supplier? We have them. Go directly to NEC and UMC, and try to fool them. It is impossible to give them this item."
"Hehe, I know the boss, they are just a temptation."
"Didn't they sell the equipment very well? Do they know how much trouble those sticks have caused us? Well, tell Micron that the sticks have been successfully developed, and they can go directly to buy the assembly line. "
"Okay, boss, I see."
Filson shook his head and left, saying that beating people doesn't slap people in the face, but his boss really has a personality, he only slaps people in the face.
Chapter 519 Scary Investment
Tu'ao is a very interesting place with rich resources and sparse population.Let alone industrial projects, the people here are not even interested in mining.
Tuao is rich in mineral resources, but the location is a bit awkward.To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the faster-than-expected development of the foot basin and Asia, the minerals here would be useless.
Of course, William White's investment in Tu'ao was not because of the foot basin.To put it bluntly, the bubble economy burst, and the steel industry in the foot basin was basically over.
There is no hope for the foot basin, but the great development of the Celestial Dynasty has not yet begun.What can be seen now is very limited.
It's pitiful to say, but the big rabbit always says that he doesn't lack for anything. In fact, this statement is wrong.Let’s just say that iron ore is good. The most important thing in Tu’ao is high-grade iron ore, but Big Rabbit doesn’t have much.
Someone said, no, isn’t there a lot in Anshan?There are not many similar places.
Hehe, let’s not talk about the difficulty of mining that weird thing, you have to know that the big rabbit calls rich iron ore with more than 50% of it, and the standard here in Tuao is more than 65%.
Don't underestimate this 15%. The profits of steel mills have always been single digits. Before 2000, China was largely self-sufficient. After that, the whole world may need to buy mines.
"What, investing in minerals? Tuao seems to have no oil."
"Boss, he invests in everything, gold, diamonds, and copper mines. The most important thing is iron mines. Anyway, the circle occupies a large area of land."
"Tsk, this is a hammer here and a stick here. What exactly is he planning to invest in?"
"Boss, not counting bank loans, his investment during this period has exceeded 200 billion dollars."
"So many? It seems that he has decided to invest in the industry. However, iron ore? The price of this thing is so low? Is it interesting?"
William White didn't know about other people's slander, if he knew, he would definitely retort.You know eggplants, the transportation conditions here in Tuao are much better than in Brazil.
Well, if these iron ores need to be shipped to the United States, this is really not cost-effective.In fact, the United States really does not need any iron mines. The mining area of the Great Lakes is basically the largest iron mine in the world.
Therefore, there are specialties in the technology industry, and what you are best at at Morgan Stanley is hostile takeovers.For other things, save yourself some effort.
William White made money in the footbath, and that was known all over the world.It's very strange that the foot basin people don't hate this guy, but instead gritted their teeth against Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
Today, this guy's crazy investment is no worse than the foot basin of the previous two years.Some people say that Feng Shui takes turns, but some people disagree.
The footbaths rotate, but not William White.In the past few years, when has he spent money softly.This time, it was only slightly exaggerated.
"Boss, we've bought all the places you're interested in. Shall we set up a prospecting team now?"
"Well, yes, the scale doesn't need to be too large. We don't have experience in this field. Let the headhunting company provide the information. We need a good CEO."
"Okay, boss. This time there was a lot of movement, and many mining companies expressed their dissatisfaction."
"Dissatisfaction, joke, isn't it just Bihaibi and Billyton? Keep an eye on their stocks. If the opportunity is right, you can go short. By the way, go ask Morgan Stanley if you are sure about the overall acquisition."
"Okay, let me ask, hehe, I guess they will be frightened."
"This is the world of capital. Whoever has more money is the master. Now it is obvious that I have more money than them."
Filson was very sure that the boss was planning to disgust people.Of course, if it is possible, the boss will not mind picking up a bargain.
Filson didn't know what the two were, but William White knew it very well.Isn't this the later BHP Billiton?It's just that they are not very good at 13 now.
Today's iron ore prices are very low, although these two are resource giants.The most thing in his hand is indeed iron ore.
William White took it for granted, and immediately angered the two Turkish and Australian companies.Well, half of it is scare.They could only instinctively reject overseas capital, but they didn't expect that this American cowboy would be so powerful.
What they didn't know was that William White really didn't just talk about it casually.Today's iron ore prices are basically at historical lows.Like oil companies, buying now must be the most cost-effective.
Of course, acquiring a company of this size is definitely not a trivial matter.Without a tug-of-war for a year or two, it is simply a dream.
Even if others agree, it still needs to be approved by the Turkish and Australian governments.After a bunch of procedures, it is really troublesome.
The richest man decided to be unreasonable. Suddenly, several relatively large companies became quails, especially Rio Tinto.
Everyone was playing with resources, so of course they saw something was wrong. Bi Haibi and Billiton had flirted with each other for not a day or two.In order to be able to compete against Rio Tinto, these two are intended to be combined into one.
Well, here comes this nasty cowboy.It is unreasonable to directly plan to take the two parents-in-law away together, and it may be the emperor of the United States.
What Rio Tinto is now worried about is if the goods are still not satisfied.It's hard to resist here.
funds?
For others, they believed, this might be a problem, and for William White, no bank would turn down his loan request.
To put it bluntly, if these three companies are taken away in a package, they may not use any high-leverage buyout.The biggest possibility is privatization and delisting. After the integration is completed, it will be repackaged and listed.
"Fuck, are you sure you're not kidding about this merger?" Hearing the news, the boss of Morgan Stanley couldn't help but swear.
"Boss, it should be a temporary idea. His think tank has just started contacting major banks."
"Huh, is this money burned out? Shouldn't he have more than these harvests?"
"Ahem, boss, he has [-] tons of gold in stock in London. Using the gold as collateral, he can obtain a lot of loans."
"This lunatic."
"Boss, can we recommend the Great Lakes mining company to him?"
"Hehe, you can give it a try. The hope is not very great. The main thing is to focus on the two local and Australian companies. If it doesn't work, can you still consider Rio Tinto? Let us buy it from Morgan Stanley, and he has no plans to talk about it."
"Tsk tsk, I just satirized him, and now I plan to buy it. I think Rockefeller should be very lucky."
What the outside world thinks, William White doesn't care.As for whether it is emotional, hehe, you guys have to figure it out for yourself.
No matter how sluggish the iron ore industry is, this kind of acquisition is close to tens of billions.If you add Rio Tinto, it will be more than [-] billion yuan.
With an investment of this size, there can be impulsiveness there.However, he was not in a hurry.It takes at least five or six years to take off from iron ore, just wait slowly.
No matter what the truth is, no one dares to talk too much now.You said he didn't understand the extractive industry, and he admitted it.Since you are so powerful, I will include you.
Chapter 520
Regardless of whether the acquisition can be successful or not, Bihaibi and Billyton want to merge again, but it is no longer possible.Even if your merger succeeds, William White will still be cheaper in the end.
"Jason, now is a good time. If you want to buy a property, you can proceed slowly."
"Boss, a lot of people in the foot basin have started to sell their assets. If they all run away, what's the point of Maoben?"
"Foot basin people? Come on, they can't eat Chinese cuisine at all. Especially the authentic ones, it's too oily."
"Haha, you are wrong. My family serves Cantonese cuisine, which is not greasy at all."
"Cut, stop talking, I have Fulinmen on Lanai Island, and your menu is an improved version from the United States. The ones you cook at home are similar."
"Tsk tsk, I don't know, you haven't been in Xiangjiang for long, how come you know better than me."
"Don't expect foot pot people to come to your store. The store or farm they are going to sell is the best thing. I think [-]% off would be a very reasonable price."
"Isn't it, boss? So ruthless?"
"Jason, you have to be harder on yourself, and you have to be harder on people with feet."
Jason was a little unconcerned about William White's complaints. He thought that a [-]% discount would be good.With a [-]% discount, the down payment will be gone.
"boss."
"Um"
"Hello, Jason."
Filson didn't care much when he saw the boss's good friend. As long as it wasn't too confidential, William White didn't mind being there.
"Hello, Filson, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Hehe, the Foot Basin is going to auction off some artworks, so I'm here with a list."
William White knew that people with foot basins were having a hard time, but he didn't expect to need to sell their assets so soon.
"They can't hold on so soon, they seem a little weak!"
"Boss, they are tightening their money now, so life is naturally difficult."
"Sunflower? Are you kidding? This thing must never appear in my auction house."
Filson really didn't understand, could it be that the boss didn't want to see that guy named Van Gogh.
"Boss, why refuse?"
"Felson, a painter of Van Gogh's level is simply a legend. If it is his relatively ordinary work, it may be genuine. Sunflower? Are you kidding, this almost represents the highest level of Van Gogh."
"Boss, you say it's fake? Damn, no wonder you didn't argue at that time."
"A work of art of this level pays attention to an orderly inheritance. This painting that suddenly appeared is simply nonsense. If it is true, who will let it leave the border?"
William White knew this allusion, and it was not a question of orderly inheritance at all.How could he have no memory of such a big international joke.
In fact, foot basin people are very unruly.Over the years, the number of works of art they bought back from the Celestial Dynasty is terrifying.
Of course there are genuine products, but more than [-]% of them are just handicrafts.Totally worthless.
Well, they don't think about it when they are desperately moving home, when they plan to take it out for money.The whole world is waiting to see the joke.
The bursting of the bubble economy has changed many habits of people in the foot basin.By the time they get over it, no one is investing in stocks, no one is investing in real estate, and no one is investing in art.
"Boss, what you sold is not a high imitation, is it?"
"What are you talking about? Brothers sold all of them with heels. Of course, the selling price is a little expensive. If they are willing to sell at half price now, I will be doing good deeds."
"Fuck, that's okay?"
Jason Gao and Felson complained together, and William White was really dark enough.The prices of these works of art were raised by him.
"Tch, those little dwarfs don't know anything about art. Their good things are all snatched back from the Celestial Dynasty."
"Boss, otherwise, why don't you exchange it?"
William White shook his head and smiled wryly. No matter how ignorant the foot basin man is, it is impossible to exchange the duck picture for him.The black pottery of the Song Dynasty is even more impossible.Unless he has real sunflowers.
However, if William White had this in his possession, he might as well have gone to John Bull.Westerners are very obsessed with oil paintings, and they will definitely spare no expense for works of the level of Picasso and Van Gogh.
What a pity, William White certainly has paintings by Picasso and Van Gogh.However, there is no way to compare with sunflowers.
Of course William White was interested in those familiar paintings.However, he is very sure that these things are simply impossible to appear.
Jason Gao just listened to the excitement, but Filson knew that the boss really planned to buy art.Moreover, he seems to be eyeing the foot basin man's things.
