Chapter 3024 The transformed IBM
Zuckerberg was very happy after initially reaching an agreement with Xiao Qi. He stayed at Tang Mingxiang's villa in the evening and had a Chinese meal with Xiao Qi before leaving.
What made Xiao Qi ashamed was that not only was this guy good at using chopsticks, he was even better at eating spicy food than he was. It seemed that the original intention of a Chinese son-in-law to please his mother-in-law could not be changed even in a foreign country.
As long as Tang Mingxiang's shares are secured, for Zuckerberg, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Fae Bo's IPO will go public.
Because Tang Mingxiang can also influence dst, Steinbrenner and Li Xiaochao's shares add up to more than ten percent.
All that's left is for Goldman Sachs to go to Nasdaq to make final preparations. Zuckerberg will also put the road show on the agenda. If things go well, he doesn't mind having an Asian road show before Christmas.
Zuckerberg is not good at talking. He is much less eloquent than Ma Yun, but he has long been an idol for entrepreneurs around the world. Before Xiao Qi was born, he was the world's number one in the electronics industry.
He is a genius, so basically he doesn’t need to say too much. As long as he shows the fae wave, people will be willing to buy the stock.
From this point of view, the IPO valuation of US$120 billion is not high at all.
According to Zuckerberg, Goldman Sachs believes that if there are no major surprises, the market value of FaE wave OK should exceed at least US$150 billion by the end of this year.
A 25% increase in value in half a year doesn't seem that eye-catching, but if you think about it carefully, it had a super valuation of 120 billion US dollars as soon as it was listed. By the end of the year, not only did it not burst through the bubble, but it went up directly.
25%, that’s something amazing!
Zuckerberg can cash out 12 billion US dollars, and Tang Mingxiang also has almost 9 billion US dollars in cash.
Although a lot of this part of the funds will be reinvested in faebook to help faebook further develop, Tang Mingxiang can still have at least more than 6 billion in cash.
Tang Mingxiang didn't have much of a clue as to how the money would be arranged.
After all, there is basically nothing to spend money on in her business. Every business is making money. Even the New York Yankees can bring her millions of dollars in profits every month.
"If you don't have many plans, then buy IBM stocks." Xiao Qi suggested.
"Why? IBM has suffered a huge decline in the computer market in the past two years. Not only has the personal computer division been sold to Lenovo, but even the hardware aspect has been losing ground. Isn't it a sign of total annihilation?" Xiao Meiji was very worried.
It’s the path of incomprehension.
"Those are just the superficial signs that everyone has seen." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "IBM is called the Blue Giant. Their achievements in computers are definitely not only commercial personal computers, but also the working groups of the US government and enterprises.
Network, this aspect is the big one. And now that we have entered the Internet era, they have also begun to integrate with the Internet era, actively develop their own electronic office systems, and provide opinions and solutions to the electronic network office requirements of major companies and enterprises.
Suggestions and proactive solutions... Although it seems a bit difficult now, once they open up the market in this area, the future is limitless!"
Hearing her husband say this, Tang Mingxiang pondered unconsciously.
Although she has been trained to be a qualified business boss, she does not have the experience in her previous life. Naturally, she does not know that the path Xiao Qi mentioned is the path for IBM to break out of its cocoon and be reborn.
With the support of profound foundation, IBM continued to explore and research. By 2013, IBM's revenue in this area alone reached more than 8 billion US dollars, and its net profit reached more than 1.7 billion.
As network office systems become more and more developed in the future, IBM will definitely occupy more shares in this market, gain more revenue, and stand at the top of the trend of the Internet era again.
As for the sunset industry of personal computers, IBM just gave up on it without any reluctance.
This is also where they are smart.
Think about Bill Dell, who arrogantly said in front of Boss Qiao that "Apple's only way out is bankruptcy and liquidation and compensation to investors." Dell, the world's largest personal computer company, will suffer from performance decline in two years.
Due to the sharp decline and forced privatization, his net worth of more than 20 billion US dollars shrank directly to more than 8 billion US dollars!
This is the result of clinging to an industry that you know will decline in the future.
IBM's ability to flexibly turn around and invest in another sunrise industry is obviously because they have sufficient business acumen.
As for Lenovo, which picked up a big baggage but thought it had made a mistake, the huge losses in the past few years have made their heads grow bigger and they are simply miserable.
If it weren't for the Chinese market supporting them, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Lenovo would have entered bankruptcy and reorganization.
Therefore, you must have a vision when doing business, and you cannot rush in hastily.
Of course, it’s not just Chinese people who are stupid, Americans are also stupid.
In the previous life, the buyers of Motorola and Nokia were all Americans. Although in the end they said that they had obtained many patents, which were enough to make up for their losses, the money and energy spent on these two companies was not worth the gain.
By the way, Motorola and Nokia have had a much better life in this life. At least as of the end of 2010, there is no tendency for them to go bankrupt.
Due to the continuous development and upgrading of the Android system, Motorola and Nokia, under the huge pressure from Fairy, Apple and Samsung, are also actively tilting their resources towards smartphones. Therefore, the sales of several new smartphones released this year are not bad, at least second-rate.
Among the first-line camps.
In addition, the feature phones of the two of them are expected to sell around 500 million this year, which is also an important aspect that can make up for their finances.
The two companies in the previous life, Nokia and Motorola, were confused by the illusion because they saw that feature phones were still so popular. They continued to develop feature phones. In the end, they failed to keep up with the times and were completely destroyed.
Now that Google is acting as their dog-headed military adviser, they still haven't lost their control.
Even if it goes bankrupt, I'm afraid it will have to wait until Xiaomiao Electronics and other Chinese smartphone manufacturers rise.
Xiao Qi remembers that the Chinese smartphone manufacturers in 2013 were so prestigious.
You don't care what their profit margin is, but the number of mobile phones shipped and their market share are definitely very eye-catching.
Otherwise, Xiaomi Electronics would not have a valuation of US$20 billion.
Thoughts passed by in a flash.
Tang Mingxiang also made a decision at this time, "Okay, let me see the opportunity and invest my money in IBM next year."
At this point, she leaned into Xiao Qi's arms again, "Husband, what do you think I would leave this part of IBM's shares to the waiter first?"
Xiaoer is the baby in Tang Mingxiang's belly.
The eldest, Miss Bu'er, Tang Mingxiang has decided to hand over the erotic girl to her. Although this girl is a woman, Tang Mingxiang loves her very much, so naturally he decided to give her the best property in his name early.
Bu'er.
On this point, Xiao Qi and Xiao Meiji's wife still have some differences.
What Xiao Qi means is to use the best properties as a common property fund for this house, and then give the children some money or small companies and let them work hard on their own, so that private property will not be harmed.
Muscles and bones.
But Tang Mingxiang was impatient and wanted to distribute her obvious private property early on. As for the shared family private fund, she planned to keep only Faebo OK's shares and the New York Yankees.
Including zappos and tagged, she is going to give them to the third and fourth children who are about to be born...well, if she continues to give birth.
Xiao Qi smiled when he heard this, "Let's talk about it later, they may not all be willing to be the boss of the company. Look at Bu'er, doesn't he like painting all the time? What if she wants to become a painter, but you insist on it?
Wouldn't it be troublesome to confine her to do business? Then do you think my daughter will rebel against her mother? "
If Buer is not playing with Sophie, she likes to hold a pen and draw things on the wall that no one can understand.
If anyone dares to wipe it off for her, this girl will lose her temper.
She was spanked several times by her mother, but she never changed her character.
Later, little Taylor felt distressed when he saw her being beaten, so he nudged Tang Mingxiang and asked her to set aside a room for Bu'er to draw. As a result, the girl could stay there for more than an hour without crying, which really pleased Tang Mingxiang.
Mingxiang was surprised.
"What you said makes sense." Tang Mingxiang nodded, "But I decided to let her give it a try first. If it doesn't work, I will turn the erotic girl into the family property."
Xiao Qi couldn't help but shook his head.
Little Mei Ji really loves Bu'er so much that she doesn't even want to give her to other children.
But it's unclear. If she discovers that one of her children has a business genius in the future, I believe she will change her mind.
Tang Mingxiang's private property is likely to exceed 80 billion US dollars in the end, which can be regarded as a huge fortune.
Among the Xiao family's grandchildren, the only one that can compare with hers is Huangfucai's company.
How to pass on this huge wealth properly, Xiao Qi felt that he had to discuss it more with Xiao Meiji's wife and help her formulate a better measure.
After all, watching your descendants become happier and your family more prosperous is the happiest thing!
