American Fortune Life

Chapter 1551: Best Business Relationships, Not Friends, But Allies

Andy's demonstrated ambition to acquire Qualcomm's ambitions and painted a variety of biscuits that allowed Qualcomm stock holders, including Blackstone, USA Pioneer Group, Fuda International Investment Fund, Dauphin Bank and Wellington Management Group, to choose to become his allies.

At this time, the frustrated Qualcomm Board of Directors is grasping investments to better preserve their current leadership position in the company.

By acquiring AMD's handheld business, the Qualcomm Board hopes to pass it on to the outside world, they can also provide good service to investors and will decide whether to support or reject the quotation in the light of further developments in the future.

However, these behaviors are absolutely delightful for Andy, after all, he didn't acquire Qualcomm to destroy it, to lay out the future, to look forward to Qualcomm's future development prospects, its monopoly on mobile chips.

And to do this, Andy, who doesn't know much about the semiconductor industry, naturally doesn't commit the foolish act of blindly directing insiders, carrying out management cleansing, plunging the company into turmoil and destroying the Great Wall himself.

Andiba can't afford Qualcomm's management. The better! The pace of his membership in the Qualcomm Board of Directors was unstoppable, and with the support of the shareholders of those large institutions, he had received more than 55 percent of the share support.

The chairman of Qualcomm's board of directors is no longer in suspense, and Qualcomm's board is now just struggling to die.

It was also the sudden joining of the so-called White Knights that gave them the courage to resist, since the board was jointly pressured by the major shareholders to kick the founder Jacob's son out of the game.

And the so-called "Don Quixote" project is Andy's ridiculous name for the white knights.

In his view, the agitation of several white knights, including General Electric, was like riding a crippled horse, riding a gun, and launching an assault on a windmill, Don Quixote - die!

However, the successful implementation of the plan requires a holistic linkage, whether financial repression or public opinion guidance, particularly important or momentum building.

Creating momentum is a top priority, allowing markets and investors in the clouds of crisis to become suspicious and panic again in order to pry into the overall decline of US shares. By then, push yourself and there will be financial trampling!

This time, he will not only complete his plans for more control over Qualcomm, but will also spit blood on those who snipe at him!

As for the possible financial panic, Andy didn't take it personally. Investors who are still swimming in the stock ocean are good travelers, and ordinary people have long been washed out, not to mention, once they die...

“Thank you very much for your support. Many people, both outside and in the industry, are wondering why I suddenly chose to enter the semiconductor industry. After all, I am a very expert in semiconductor technology... ”

Andy sat in front of the computer monitor and smiled and talked to the heads of several large agencies who held Qualcomm shares in six tiny, misaligned windows in the video window.

“There is no special reason, mainly because, as I look at the future of the semiconductor industry, I think that as the semiconductor industry slowly becomes more and more similar to the traditional large industries such as steel, oil, etc., the entry threshold is high and the need for funds is high.

It seems to me that, with the development of chip technology, a few engineers have fought alone in their garages before, and the romantic story of designing commercial chips will no longer emerge, because without financial support it is impossible to use advanced processes, without which they will become uncompetitive in the marketplace.

For large companies, the increasing capital required for advanced processes also implies an increasing risk of research and development of new products. In the future, more and more companies will change their strategies in the marketplace from struggling to become new products and competitors to how to mitigate risks and persevere in the marketplace.

This also augurs well for the semiconductor industry to reach maturity, implying that in the future, on the one hand, the costs of using advanced processes will be increasing, and on the other hand, players in the market will be giants, and new players are almost unlikely to challenge them again.

In the coming years, the semiconductor industry will be approaching an unprecedented merger and reorganization of companies to complete market segmentation.

Qualcomm is a company that I prefer, to maintain a leading edge in future competition, not only to have the technology, but also to have enough ambition and strength to constantly grow myself, to maintain a leading edge, not to be annexed by my opponents, and I, confident and able to lead Qualcomm out of the circle.

Of course, it also requires the few of you sitting here to work with me to create the future, and I believe that our future is incredibly bright, and that when we dominate the market, we can set industry standards as we wish, and I believe that you should be very clear about what we mean once we achieve this goal! ”

To capture these allies who support them, for the first time, Andy openly communicates his ideas and future plans to his allies and, frankly, lets them know that Andy Smith does not emerge temporarily, but has long-term plans and strong ambitions.

And the heads of several investment agencies, who heard Andy's words, one was also blinking and slightly changing their expression. For them, the target company was growing, its assets expanding, its market value skyrocketing, and it was definitely lethally tempting.

As for whether Andy Smith was painting a biscuit, the six people present did not question it, because Andy Smith's journey down the road was a process of acquiring mergers and growing themselves, and they would never doubt that Andy Smith, a shark that was used to predators, would change vegetarians, and they seemed to have seen that when Andy Smith truly rationalized Qualcomm, the semiconductor industry became the bloody storm that could set off the merger!

“Don't worry, Mr. Smith, we at Blackstone are very happy to work with you. Please tell us what you need. ”

“Yes, Mr. Smith... ”

“Thank you and thank you for your support. ”

Hearing the statements of the six allies, Andy's smile grew brighter and brighter, laughing at the crowd: “Don't worry, gentlemen, the first thing I became chairman of the board was to reflow overseas funds for shareholder dividends. ”

There is nothing more exciting than the interests. As he said, the faces of the six people in the video show a satisfactory smile. You know, Qualcomm's overseas fund dividend scheme has been suppressed for various reasons during Jacob's father's and son's reign. It has been deliberately ignored. The majority of investment agencies have had their opinions for a long time. However, Qualcomm has maintained high growth and stock prices have risen all the way. All grievances and inconsistencies have been temporarily suppressed.

And with the financial crisis, Qualcomm stock prices fell all the way down, major investment institutions were also affected by the financial crisis, tightened their belts for life, the desire for cash had reached the point where investors and Qualcomm management were not happy about the distribution of dividends, and at this time, Andy entered the malicious acquisition of Qualcomm, and proposed a plan for overseas capital return dividend distribution, immediately in the interest of the investors of these institutions.

Especially since Andy Smith has always demonstrated his ability to make money, these greedy investment agencies value it. For these investment agencies, who can bring them more benefits, who is the grandfather, and Andy, in order to pull them together, even throw out the pancakes that will allow them to invest in the company of the future, is undoubtedly a thrill for those investment agencies that have long been watching for quality assets under Andy Red.

You know, a lot of Andy's companies, though they've been around for a short time, have enormous potential, like Mockingbird Games, which is almost like a money printer, and Wall Street is long overwhelmed and eager to split a spoon.

Andy Smith, however, kept letting go, and everyone stood aside, drooling and watching. And now he's relentlessly promising to take them to play, which is really good news for them!

“Gentlemen, this is a little busy connecting to your videos, and I need your help... ”

Andy's words were just finished, and the six people in the video window all said the same thing: "Go ahead ——”

“Oh, it's not really that big of a deal, I hope you guys can sell some Qualcomm shares in step with me sometime in the future!” Andy looked at six different people on the computer screen and said firmly.
