Chapter 444 Hidden wealth
Tempted by Ye Dongqing's big pie, a group of shareholders were furious and united to question Bezos.
This was after he left. Unlike the suggestions of the employees, there were many major shareholders who raised objections. Bezos couldn't help but think about it, not to mention that Ye Dongqing's threat of liquidation was very lethal, which meant that he Will no longer be optimistic about Amazon, and Ye Dongqing's influence on investors is now obvious again.
I don’t know who came up with a bad idea, and even brought this transaction to the media, reprimanding Amazon managers for choosing to merge for profit, and harming the interests of Wal-Mart employees, directly attracting inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission. , The stock prices of the two companies fell together, especially the management of Wal-Mart, which was scolded by investors.
Conscience of heaven and earth, this is really not Ye Dongqing's insidious trick. If he makes a move, the power will definitely not be limited to this, and he will not use this method as an entry point.
Some secret matters have been brought to the fore, and it is hard to say whether the transaction will go ahead, but under the strong opposition of some Wal-Mart shareholders, it is impossible to estimate according to the original method.
As soon as Ye Dongqing received the news, she sent someone to greet the Securities and Exchange Commission, saying that Wal-Mart was trying to buy Amazon employees with profits, hoping to give a warning and thoroughly investigate this practice that may endanger other shareholders.
Maybe it will cause some estrangement with Bezos, but it's no big deal, he is no longer a poor kid in Chinatown who needs to rely on others to make a living...
Things passed almost like this. In the next half a month or so, I did not hear about the merger, but I didn’t hear anyone who gave up the decision to try the merger. Whether it will succeed or not is temporarily ambiguous.
Apple's side.
Jobs really made a more careful deployment this time.
After the release of the new iPhone 2, the new product began to be released on August 1st, trying the sweetness of hunger marketing. The first batch of shipments was still only 200,000 units, and they were all sold out within a few minutes. The first success can be said to be accidental, and the second time will probably not be an accident.
Seeing new products with more comprehensive functions and more advanced performance directly led to a sharp rise in Apple's stock price on Nasdaq. People know that Apple has already established a brand and occupies an absolute leading position in the field of smartphones, so the increase is quite amazing. In Ye Dongqing's opinion, this iPhone 2 is better than the iPhone 3G in his impression. Except for the screen, it has almost reached the performance of the iPhone 4 in his impression. The next generation It is possible for the product to surpass it. It is estimated that Apple's market value will exceed 100 billion US dollars.
One step behind, one step behind.
Ye Dongqing has launched an operating system named Android, and chooses a partner in a paid way. The current price is not high, but the price may increase in the future, and he will learn from Microsoft to sell the operating system to make money.
Free and fee-based, he struggled with this for a while. The reason why he really made up his mind to choose the fee-based model is that there is no competitor in the market. Wouldn’t it be foolish not to make money under such a premise?
He is creating a new mobile operating system business model. He chooses to charge, and most of the latecomers will also charge. In addition, once people are familiar with it, they will not change it easily. For this reason, he would rather spend about ten dollars more The licensing price is included in the price of the whole machine anyway, which is not obvious.
Knowing that even if there is a monopoly, other technologies will appear, so he discussed with Jobs and finally decided to jointly authorize some technologies to other manufacturers in a paid way. While ensuring Apple's leading position, he strives to maximize profits. Profits can be invested in research and development to continue to maintain a leading position.
Baseband chips and processors are all developed in partnership with other companies, and Apple also owns part of the patents. Under Ye Dongqing's plan, it is difficult to be caught by others. This is the advantage of living another life, taking the lead everywhere, He has settled the accounts, guaranteeing his own interests and at the same time giving benefits to others. Only win-win cooperation can go further.
Apple’s side is only a part of his huge business landscape. On the side of Facebook and Youtube, which are jointly listed, as the market has stabilized for a period of time, and stimulated by one after another good news, the stock price began to soar.
Under such circumstances, Ye Dongqing announced in a low-key manner that he would donate 30% of the shares of Danshui Investment Group. There is no way, if he doesn't donate, his worth will almost exceed 200 billion U.S. dollars.
Another big market is coming, and the stock prices of various companies have risen more than expected. This wave of market may continue for a long time. Donate early. Send the bomb, and then the security level will go up two steps, almost to the level of abnormality.
While making money, you also need to spend money. Ye Dongqing recently established a smart home research institute and an autonomous driving technology research institute in a low-key manner, and decided to donate a non-profit stadium to New Yorkers. There are more social welfare aspects donation.
What people hate is the rich who is not benevolent, because he knows how to be a man. In fact, most people have a good impression of him. Many young people regard him as an idol to imitate. His head is even printed on the clothes of environmentalists. and hat on.
In this case, he began to shift his attention to the education of his children, mainly his daughter Ye Ying, to spend more time with her.
The summer vacation is not over yet, and Zhao Liuli will also take time to take care of this little guy. Her grades after entering school are still good. In July, Ye Dongqing even took her to Tamsui Investment Group for an "internship" for a period of time, helping with some work and earning pocket money .
In the next period of time, there will be a lot of small things, and there are almost no big things. Ye Dongqing can treat them as big things, and indeed there are very few.
His global hot news website has gradually shifted its focus to current affairs. It has long uncovered the misuse of funds in the Pentagon. Someone once wanted him to die there. Although I don’t know who it is, Ye Dongqing doesn’t want them either. Fortunately, for the kind of report that is clicked, after the beginning, the rest can be left to the colleagues. For their own fame, there will naturally be reporters who are not afraid of death and try their best to dig out clues.
Ye Dongqing did receive some phone calls because of this, he only thought of himself as a passionate person, calling it justice, and at this point, he did have the strength to wrestle with someone, not to mention that he didn't do too much, it wasn't a big deal.
Whoever dares to jump out against him will have to pay a price, so no one wants to offend him, the richer and more powerful he is, the less he wants to offend him.
You must know that Ye Dongqing has so much money that he needs to donate it constantly. For a big company like Boeing, he can currently buy three and a half...
