Chapter 209 The Stupid Acquisition Case
Everyone here is most concerned about Microsoft's stock price. Jiang Zhijian asked quickly: "Mr. Kent, what is Microsoft's price now?"
"It has fallen below $100." Kent said angrily, but he didn't want to say more.
Jiang Zhijie was sweating coldly, and then overjoyed. Can Bailian Hua become a major shareholder of Microsoft? He didn't care at all, but he really had to thank the eldest master for being able to take action in time to make himself lose money! If he was a little greedy and wanted to wait and see, it would be a sad drama from great joy to great sorrow!
Li Wenxin is concerned about the other side: "I am sorry, Mr. Kent, will it have any impact on your company if he failed to successfully acquire Microsoft?"
Unexpectedly, Kent's "candidity" shocked the delegation again: "Mr. Mayor, as we all know, our company's name is Internet International, that is, to take the international path and build an integrated network structure of production, purchase and sales."
"As for production, we are very optimistic about the hard-working and cheap labor in East Asia. History has proved that Japan has succeeded, South Korea, Baodao, Hong Kong and other places have also succeeded. Our company believes that mainland China has a wide and sufficient labor force, so it will definitely succeed. To be honest, most of the goods ordered by our White Lotus are made through Hong Kong re-export trade and are also produced in mainland China."
"But just being a trader is not our purpose, and now it is just a stopgap. We need our own factories and our own production bases, and the Golden Island plan that Mr. Jaton is negotiating is part of our production base layout. Of course, we are very sincere, but it is not without a backup plan. Southeast Asia's labor force is as cheap as India. Sorry, Mr. Mayor, please forgive me, I am just expounding a fact."
Li Wenxin and others immediately became serious. It seemed that they were not just resting on their minds, but there were still many competitors.
Kent continued: "The negotiation of specific production bases is carried out by Mr. Jetton's Water Well Company, so I won't say much here. But I can briefly introduce to the mayor our White Lotus plan. We need fleets, fleets, and even shipping planes in the future. We need warehouses, logistics hubs, and even airport terminals. But it is not the most important, and the most important thing is to push the White Lotus sales network into every household in the world."
Before we knew it, Li Wenxin and the others were attracted by Kent's words. Kent also completely entered a state: "Before this, due to the limitations of technical means, we could only rely on advertisements, various advertisements, including our company's original mailing advertisements. But now it is different. If we control Microsoft, we can smoothly push advertisements to every household with PCs, including all government departments, companies and factories with computers. We can promptly understand the needs of users, organize production in production at Al-Qaeda, and then ship them to all parts of the world through shipping. In order to achieve such huge data processing, in our ten-year development plan, there is a plan for launching artificial communication satellites..."
"Ah? artificial satellite?" Finally, some members of the inspection team couldn't help it. We were still thinking about how to install phones at home. This White Lotus company is already planning to launch artificial satellites.
Kent also seemed to feel that he had gone too far and smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, I was a little excited just now. But I personally think that all great goals start from small things and are a little success. Although such a lofty goal may not have been achieved before I retire, or I may not even see it, but I believe that our White Lotus Network International will surely be great!"
"It's okay, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, this is the reason. Mr. Kent, can you talk in detail? I'm very interested in what I just said."
"Of course it's okay. Although there are some setbacks on Microsoft, our company..."
“…”
If Jing Jian was next to him at this time, he would definitely be sweating in the Lushan Waterfall. Maybe he brainwashed Kent too successfully, so why is it a bit like a pyramid scheme now?
...
After leaving, the inspection team began to discuss in the car: "So that's how they are, they will be interested in Chongming Island..."
"So that's it, this is their purpose of acquiring Microsoft..."
"What a pity."
"Yeah, it's a pity, but it should be a glory even though it's defeated."
"Hey, imperialism and capitalists are so rampant!"
"I'm thinking, isn't this planned economy in their company's plan? Could it be..."
"Have you learned the party class? Productivity determines the production relationship. Technology is advanced, and of course the better the more planned it is. We... hey! We are too backward."
When Li Wenxin heard this, he immediately ordered very seriously: "Listen to everyone. I thought it was just an investigation, but now I see that the greater gain is to broaden my horizons. Although we are already behind, we must not lose confidence. Mr. Kent was right just now, we must start with small things. And our current task is to be sure to ensure that the project is implemented! Do you understand?"
Miao Fuchun added on the side: "Mayor Li, and you must pay attention to computers!"
"Haha, yes, Xiao Miao is right. Haha!"
...
Without mentioning the inspection team's emotions, returning to the stock market, it was completely overwhelming and ended in a bleak situation. Microsoft's closing price was not even $80, closing at 79.22, and the trading volume throughout the day had reached a very high number. If it was not bearish, it would be a star stock of Nasdaq.
Anyway, it’s a mess, some people laugh and some people cry. However, the tragedy and comedy of the stock market is staged every day, and it’s just another big show. Looking back, it’s just that, and it will be forgotten soon...
As the ending, most of the financial newspapers and magazines on the second day published comments about Microsoft. Those comments were quite kind. In addition to criticizing the irrationality of some speculators, most of them congratulate Microsoft. This is true. In fact, if you don’t look at the intermediate process, just look at the results, Microsoft’s stock price almost doubled in just a few trading days. This performance is not bad, right?
