Liszt was in a very bad mood. The reason was very simple. Nowadays, everyone is not rich and it is not easy to make money. It was a rare opportunity to make a fortune, but it just slipped away. I really can't blame Liszt for this.
The strange thing is that some people are too greedy.
How much money did you spend to acquire the IBM notebook business? Fang Zhe couldn't remember, it didn't matter.
The United States has not yet come out of the crisis. After the bombing, the United States launched a war on terrorism. Fortunately, a Middle Eastern dictator jumped out and threatened not to use US dollars to settle oil. This must be intolerable.
.
The dictator, Silly Damu, is dead. Even if I say, Jesus can't keep him. Even if he is poisoned with washing powder, he will be poisoned to death.
Therefore, it will be very interesting next. Industrial capital all over the world will focus on a place with the highest return rate, which is a certain big country in the East. First of all, investment has made a lot of money, and secondly, a certain big country has foreign exchange controls, and the U.S. dollar cannot directly
When capital enters, it is necessary to issue additional currency of equivalent value. The manufacturing industry will make a profit first. When the funds leave, the soft currency will appreciate and make another profit.
This is really a win-win! Win twice.
Therefore, what we need to do at this time is to get the money back and increase domestic investment instead of spending it outside.
"Fang, you can consider paying in installments. It will be beneficial to you." Liszt obviously didn't want to give up. Fang Zhe was very calm about this, crossing his hands in front of him: "Let's talk about it in detail."
"I suggest you use stocks as mortgage loans, get one installment of funds to pay to IBM, and pay the remaining amount in multiple installments. Based on the value of your shares in the U.S. stock market, some banks are willing to lend you money, including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Morgan
They are all happy to lend money.”
Fang Zhe showed dissatisfaction: "The interest rate on commercial loans is too high."
Liszt almost couldn't hold back his words. Can anyone tell me? Are there any business people who don't take out loans? It's true, Fang Zhe hardly takes out loans in the United States. He has never seen such a stable guy. It's because he doesn't like loans.
Really? Definitely not, it’s just uneasy.
Business people are most afraid of the capital chain being broken. As long as there is one point that is not supported, everything will inevitably be lost. Fang Zhe, who does business in the United States, is extremely cautious.
Liszt didn't think that Fang Zhe was unwilling to lend money, but was just trying to show off. It was useless to say anything now. Liszt couldn't make decisions on many things. So, he could only stand up and said: "It seems that I have to rush back.
Fang, I hope you will consider it carefully."
Fang Zhe stood up and extended his hand to say goodbye: "I will carefully consider your suggestion, and I also hope that this transaction can be concluded."
Liszt didn't talk nonsense anymore and turned around to leave. Fang Zhe saw him off in person very politely. On the way to the airport, the two had another exchange. This time, they didn't gain much. They just kept repeating the same old tune.
When getting off the bus at the airport, a taxi stopped on the side of the road, and a netizen who had just met got out of the car. The two exchanged glances and gave each other a smile. After Fang Zhe nodded slightly, he and Liszt
Entering, the female netizen had a thoughtful look on her face, and the regret of missing out on a lot of things piled up again.
From active contact to active giving up, this process was beyond the expectations of many people. No one knew what Fang Zhe was thinking, and it was not ruled out that he was retreating in order to advance. After Liszt returned to the United States, he quickly obtained
According to accurate news, IBM is also having a fierce internal debate over the sale of its notebook business.
The focus of the debate is very simple, whether to sell or not. The current situation of IBM's notebook business is unprofitable and still suffers a small loss. The shareholders must be dissatisfied with this current situation. When they hope to make changes, some people want to acquire it. Naturally, almost half of the senior executives are tempted.
The other group is those with vested interests who hope to keep this sector.
You know, once the owner changes, many people will lose their jobs. The new owner will definitely not keep too many people, and may even remove all the original staff. This is not surprising at all. Both sides have people.
, so we have to quarrel.
On the one hand, he said that the sale would damage IBM's corporate image and cause internal turmoil. On the other hand, he said that some people created difficulties and caused the acquisition negotiations to be terminated. Knowing the difficulties, they naturally quoted prices and requested that production be placed in the United States.
Industrial capital all over the world knows that if you invest money in a big Eastern country and then lobby the government to force the country's currency to appreciate, industrial capital can win twice. There are still people who expect to put production in the United States, and they really treat others as fools.
What? Can a fool have the money to acquire IBM’s notebook business?
Such quarrels are often fruitless if there is no internal adjustment of the power structure.
A major domestic news outlet in the East also reported news about this acquisition, and said that due to certain key nodes, our company took the initiative to suspend negotiations. What this node was, the news did not say.
As a result, there was a perception that a certain electronics group must not be short of money, otherwise it would not propose an acquisition. After a certain company gained a wave of popularity in the news, the stock market responded with a new round of rise.
It is a new round of hot sales in the market. If it were not for government procurement and the fence was tightened, the sales in the first quarter of the new year would have failed miserably, and the paper data would have become even more ugly.
These are all things for later. Before the new year comes, Fang Zhe has finally decided on one thing, that is, the new generation of ASML equipment. Fang Zhe's company will be one of the first customers. Not only is he optimistic about a big country in the East?
As for industrial capital alone, ASML is also very optimistic and regards this as another main battlefield to defeat Nikon.
Let's put it this way, at this time, ASML didn't think it would be able to defeat its behemoth opponent.
Therefore, an order from a large country in the East is really a heavy bargaining chip for ASML. What's more, because of the war on terrorism, the United States now doesn't have much energy to pay attention to these. Let's put it this way, Fang Zhe will be able to win during this window period.
Got it. It won’t take too long in the future. Within three years, ASML will be able to defeat Nikon step by step.
At that time, if you want to get new equipment, the difficulty will increase geometrically.
Doing everything in advance now paves the way for continued upgrades in the future. Even if there are some twists and turns in the future, you can lobby if you can. Problems that can be solved with money are not too big a problem.
The most critical point is to catch up with the so-called technological generation gap as soon as possible in terms of industrial technology.
This generation difference only occurs in the last production link.
ASML is very straightforward. In May 2003, the first batch of new equipment will be delivered. At the same time, Da Yuan and Samsung will receive the equipment. This bowl of water is level, at least it seems so, but there are equipment that are not
It means you can produce the most cutting-edge products.
