Others only know that anti-virus software includes Kaspersky, Mcafee, Norton, and Little Red Umbrella, but they do not know that there are actually many foreign companies that make computer anti-virus software.
I dare not say that there are too many to describe it, but the number of hundreds of companies is used, otherwise 360's secure core technology would not be so easy to buy.
Xiao Qi will not buy the technology of American anti-virus software companies. These companies, like the American military, are not honest people. They like to leave some backdoors and so on, so as not to cause any trouble for themselves. That's called
Want to cry but no tears.
Teenagers will not buy the technology of Chinese anti-virus software companies, because no matter which company they are, they are very weak in real technology, otherwise they would not be beaten by Kaspersky in a year or two and almost have no foothold.
.
Therefore, Xiao Qi set his acquisition target in European countries from the very beginning.
Compared to Americans who are cunning, Europeans are much kinder.
Kaspersky... no, not to mention that it is too large and costs too much. They are simply not short of money, so it is impossible to sell it.
There is another anti-virus software in Russia called Dr.web. The technology is also very good, but if you look at its research and development unit - the Russian National Academy of Sciences, you will know that it is impossible to sell technology to the Chinese. Putin
The uncle’s office is all using this software. If the core technology is sold to you, do you want to steal Russia’s top secrets?
The little red umbrella is from Germany. Xiao Qi has a natural lack of affection for Germans, so he will put it aside for now.
There are two anti-virus software companies in the Czech Republic, one is called a.vg and the other is called a.vast. They are among the top ten excellent security protection products in the world, and both companies are not expensive. Each one costs about 400 million U.S. dollars.
Buy it. The other one is slightly more expensive and only costs 500 million U.S. dollars. If you package it, it will be less than 1 billion.
The Czech Republic is a small country. There won't be many obstacles to Fairy Company buying their core technology and recruiting their R&D personnel.
In addition, Xiao Qi has another choice. That is Romania's Bitdefender. This company is very good at personal computer user security protection technology. Kaspersky loses to it in terms of overall strength. In the past few years, this company has
In the rankings of every authoritative website, Kaspersky ranked second, and the first place was Bitdefender.
And in terms of user ratio in Western Europe, Bitdefender is better than Kaspersky.
The key is that Bitdefender has not directly entered China for development. Its focus has always been on the surrounding developed countries in Western Europe. That's why its reputation is not obvious.
Of course, just because a person is strong does not mean that he will always be strong.
The same is true for a company.
Bitdefender was stronger than Kaspersky a few years ago, but Kaspersky has expanded in the world in the past few years and invested in technology research and development by making money. It has improved very quickly, and it was completely surpassed last year.
Bitdefender.
But it is undeniable that the Romanian engineers also have their own outstanding abilities, but their personalities and the company's expansion are obviously not good at integrating with the market.
Also because Bitdefender's development is only in Western Europe, its current market value is similar to that of the two Czech software companies, which is US$500 million.
One thing that is beneficial to Xiao Qi is that at the end of last year, an investment company invested in Bitdefender, and the major shareholder of this company is Green Pine Capital. He is also an old friend of Xiao Qi!
If Xiao Qi wants to buy Bitdefender, then it is definitely a good choice to negotiate with Green Pine Capital on the one hand and buy the shares from Green Pine Capital on the other.
In contrast, the Czech companies a.vg and a.vast are both controlled by several major Czech groups. As a country with an underdeveloped electronics industry, these two anti-virus software companies are already the pride of the Czech Republic.
The key is that after the framework is established, its investment does not need to be too large. At present, they are not planning to expand on a large scale, so there is no need for financing.
However, Xiao Qi will not give up hope. He will find the most professional brokerage company and negotiate with these three anti-virus software companies at the same time. If he can buy one of them, it will only cost more than a billion US dollars to buy them all. Relatively speaking, Xiao Qi will not give up hope.
In a super market with over 3 billion total users and an overall output value of over 100 billion US dollars, this amount of money is really not worth mentioning.
As for professional brokerage companies?
Of course it’s super multinational giants like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup!
Only they have great influence around the world and can do this!
Xiao Qi didn't feel any guilt at all for having tricked them before and now asking them for help again and again.
This is how business is done!
Do you dare to say that Goldman Sachs will not earn Xiao Qi’s commission money because Xiao Qi cheated them several times?
What a joke!
When there is a business entrustment, they will crawl over it!
After briefly opening an anti-virus software company, Xiao Qi began to think about other plunders in Europe.
Starting next year, Greece, a lazy country, will be punished, and then it directly triggered the sovereign debt crisis in Spain, Portugal, Italy... and other countries. To put it bluntly, they are all a bunch of lazy people!
However, they are the main forces in the entire euro zone, so they have implicated the two giants France and Germany and suffered considerable losses.
Poor France and Germany, they themselves were beaten so badly by the subprime mortgage crisis and financial turmoil that they almost couldn't get up. After a little recovery, they had to provide blood transfusions to these countries. No wonder the Germans almost overthrew Merkel later.
.
If Merkel hadn't cried out in tears in the House of Parliament: "We have finally united as a whole. If our companions are allowed to collapse, then our dream of a Europe will be shattered!" Such words are barely possible.
Let Germany continue to push the EU forward.
Of course, what happened to these European countries has nothing to do with Xiao Qi. He also wished he could be like the UK, thinking about how to destroy Europe as a whole all day long! - No doubt, the UK was swaying up and down during the financial crisis and sovereign debt crisis.
It is definitely a negative image, and it does not assist its "companions" at all, because Europe as a whole is not in the interests of the United Kingdom!
In the next few years, Europe's economy will definitely be in a slump. For example, the youth unemployment rate in Spain has reached 50%. You can imagine how miserable they are.
As for Greece?
Haha, the unemployment rate in their country exceeds 50%. There is no one worse than them.
So in the next few years, almost everything will be sold in Greece.
Ports, airports, municipal buildings, land, islands... If you are interested, military bases can all be discussed!
Look!
Greece has already collapsed. In order to get rid of the national debt, they almost want to privatize all state-owned assets so that they can get rid of the debt.
Although it is a bit shameless and has no bottom line, Xiao Qi has to say that this method is indeed effective and can help Greece get rid of the debt crisis to a certain extent - if someone is really willing to take over these things.
In the future, Xiao Qi may be interested in some things sold in Greece, but now, what he cares about is not these infrastructures, but some excellent electronics companies in Europe.
It should be noted that European electronics companies are not large in scale. They are not like Silicon Valley in the United States, which has thousands of engineers. Sometimes a few of their engineers can form a company, and 80% of the electronics
The number of engineers in the company shall not exceed 100.
Precisely because they are small in scale, their development potential is not as good as that of Silicon Valley companies.
But don’t forget that small scale does not mean that their technology is not good. In fact, the technology of European engineers is no less than that of the United States. If the United States had not absorbed talents from all over the world, they would definitely lose to Europe.
Engineer's.
Xiao Qi also likes small-scale companies like this because it makes it easier for him to buy these companies and bring them directly to China to work.
Even if they don't want to come to Chengdu, Xiao Qi is willing to arrange a good working and living environment for them in big cities like Dongfang and Guangdong where there are many foreigners.
If that doesn't work, Xiao Qi can still sign a five-year work contract with them. After five years, they can leave China and get generous remuneration to do what they want to do - anyway, five years.
Time is enough for the engineers of Fairy Laboratory to absorb their academic knowledge and experience.
When it comes to the European companies that Xiao Qi covets, there are actually many more.
The first is ARM, which is responsible for CPU chip planning. Although Dreampad and Dreamstars are trying their best to use their own technology and weaken ARM's technology, they still cannot be completely independent in a short time.
For example, the British Imagine Technology Company is the company that produced the GPU image processor for Xiao Qi.
NXP Semiconductors of the Netherlands, which provides Xiao Qi with fingerprint recognition technology, is also very good.
There is also Italy's STMicroelectronics, which is firmly among the top three semiconductor companies in the world. It also provides accelerators and other electronic components for iPhones and iPads.
In addition, the British CSR company has world-leading technologies in WiFi chips, GPS chips and Bluetooth chips. Xiao Qi said that he also likes them very much.
…
That's what I think, but it's basically difficult to win over any of the above-mentioned companies.
Because the West has considerable technical barriers to Chinese companies.
Previously, Xiao Qi bought their mature technology and it was a technical solution that was disclosed to the outside world, so there was no problem. However, if these technologies and talents were put into one pot, the institutions in their country would probably not agree.
If you want to truly master these advanced technologies, I'm afraid you have to take advantage of the debt crisis to work hard! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
