Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "Nothing is impossible, suppress their market value as far as possible!"

"Mr. Yang, according to today's closing price, Apple's market value is still over 60 billion U.S. dollars. It's not easy to suppress it to 40 billion U.S. dollars..." Li Heping said with concern.

What Li Heping didn't know was that Sun, which was negotiating with Apple, offered less than US$40 billion!

"A multi-billion dollar business cannot be negotiated in a day or two. If we talk slowly, maybe one day the media will catch news of Apple CEO Spindler negotiating with an asset management company..." Yang Mo smiled evilly.

"Isn't it a great benefit for Apple's investors to introduce a capital company as big as Qianhai?" Qian Ning asked in confusion.

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "It depends on the angle from which the media reports it. Apple's high-priced computers are jointly blocked by Microsoft, Intel, and IBM. It is already in trouble. How can Qianhai Asset Management be put in trouble after the bubble bursts in the Japanese stock market and property market?" Revealing old news about the disposal of non-performing assets, and cooperating with short-selling Apple stock on Nasdaq..."

Li Heping nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, I know what to do!"

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "You don't have to push too hard. You can take action when the price is below 45 billion US dollars!"

"Mr. Yang, where will Zhiyuan International focus on in the next stage? Or should we focus on building the integrated circuit industry chain?" Qian Ning felt itchy while listening and couldn't help but ask.

"The layout of the integrated circuit industry chain is almost complete. What's left is materials and etching equipment. How is your headhunting company's business? Is your business in Silicon Valley and Wall Street going smoothly?" Yang Mo asked.

Qian Ning said with some frustration: "Generally, they are just small fish and shrimps, and they have not yet opened up the situation. The personnel circulation of large multinational companies is basically in the hands of top headhunting companies such as McKinsey, Hyde, and Spencer Stuart!"

"Take your time. These headhunting companies basically have decades of history. How many years have you been in the industry? One day, Zhiyuan International Consulting Company will become one of the top five headhunting companies in the world!" Yang Mo said disapprovingly.

Qian Ning heard what Yang Mo meant and asked excitedly: "Mr. Yang, do you have any new business plans? Do you need to recruit people?"

Yang Mo pondered for a while and then said: "I am going to set up two e-commerce companies. One is an online bookstore, which will be led by Zhiyuan International. You should register a company immediately and call it Amazon E-commerce Company (amazon)! The name of the website is mine. I’ve thought about it, and I’ll call it vastbookwebsite for the time being!”

Qian Ning nodded and asked excitedly: "Mr. Yang, where should we start?"

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "After the registration is completed, set up a technical team as soon as possible. There is no way to recruit people. There are no mature e-commerce talents. We can only go to Stanford, Harvard, and MIT to find them ourselves. This will give full play to the advantages of your headhunting company. , after the company structure is set up, it uses the fastest time to acquire a bookstore chain. The Barnes & Noble Bookstore, which was just listed on the New York Stock Exchange last year, is good. If the negotiation cannot be concluded with the Barnes & Noble Bookstore, it will turn around and acquire Border Bookstore..."

"Mr. Yang, after the online bookstore is built, how do we deal with buyers? How do we get books into the hands of buyers? Do we also need to acquire a logistics company?" Qian Ning keenly discovered the transaction obstacles and was a little confused. asked.

Yang Mo said with a look of approval on his face: "Yes, while e-commerce has not yet fully developed, acquiring one or two logistics companies is a top priority. If the price is right, acquire a few more and integrate it as soon as possible to form a logistics company covering major cities in North America and Europe." Small parcel express network!”

"What about the transaction? How does the buyer pay?" Qian Ning continued to ask.

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "Online payment tools are very important. They need a third-party company with no interest to operate independently. Peace, I still leave this to you. Register a PayPal Technology Co., Ltd. and hide the equity as much as possible. Qianhai Asset Management will lead the investment, and affiliated companies will follow the investment. I will let Merlo Bank give you an interface to bind Merlo Bank card transactions!"

"Melo Bank has too few branches, so it's not convenient for buyers, right?" Li Heping asked.

Yang Mo nodded and said: "After the development is completed, we will contact other commercial banks. Peace, the acquisition of Apple and the development of online payment tools are the top priorities!"

"Mr. Yang, didn't you just say that you would establish two e-commerce companies? What is the other one going to do?" Qian Ning couldn't help but ask.

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "This is an item exchange and auction website. Everything as small as a signed photo of a star card, a box of candies and chocolates, as large as a car or a villa can be exchanged and auctioned..."

"This is a good idea. Zhiyuan International happens to have a number of sports and cultural brokerage companies. We can mobilize its sports stars and film and television stars to participate in the transaction with part of the collection! Mr. Yang, do it for us!" Qian Ning said happily.

"Mr. Yang, the Qianhai Media Group that we spent so much money to establish is just to incubate this exchange and auction website, right?" Li Heping said not to be outdone.

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "Both of you are optimistic about this exchange and auction website? Is it more promising than Amazon Online Bookstore?"

Li Heping and Qian Ning both nodded without hesitation.

"Qian Ning, tell me the difference between them!" Yang Mo asked.

Qian Ning pondered for a while and then said: "The business model is different. The online bookstore is a p2c model. We directly face the end individual consumers. In order to win users, we need to burn a lot of money in the early stage. We use low prices and services to win the market, and we need a lot of With the manpower and material resources to support it, it can be said to be an extremely rare asset-heavy operation project among Internet companies!"

"What about the exchange auction website?" Yang Mo nodded and continued to ask.

"The exchange auction website is different. From the business model point of view, this is a typical C2C model, individual sellers vs. individual buyers. We only need to provide a safe and reliable trading platform. On this platform, we are just a referee. , just ensure that children are not deceived and transactions are fair, there is no need to compete in person, there is no need to spend heavily to acquire logistics companies, Barnes and Noble bookstores, and even online payment tools do not need to be developed..." Qian Ning said gushingly.

"Heping, what do you think?" Yang Mo turned to look at Li Heping noncommittally and asked.

"My opinion is similar to Qian Ning's! Auction and exchange websites are easier to operate. As long as the publicity and promotion are in place, it can be on the right track in half a year..." Li Heping scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
