Global monopoly of technology

The interview between the two parties was barely reaching some unwritten consensus. Although not very satisfactory, at least they saw hope of improvement.

By the next day, Lovell and others had already returned to North America. After he returned, he had a private conversation with Randall, the head of the ATT group.

After learning the general situation, the head of ATT asked directly: “How can Ansys be willing to cooperate with Luo Sheng to help him cultivate CFD talents? This seems impossible, and the Ansys board of directors will never agree.”

Lovell said blankly: "It is of course impossible to tell them. The only way to do it is to sit on the Ansys board of directors and obtain control of the company to vote."

Randall: "You mean a malicious merger..."

Lowell nodded affirmatively: "Joint Wall Street to short Ansys stock and gradually realize control of Ansys. You and I will take the lead, and several other technology giants will also work hard. Ansys has outstanding performance, and the $23 billion plate wants Short selling still requires a little price, and at the same time, you have to secretly acquire the shares of some small and medium shareholders."

Randall has no objection. After all, whose interests are the ones who care, the losses of the major North American operators are the biggest and most intuitive, so in terms of costs, they will definitely get the big head, but the final benefit is also the big head.

It's just that the poor Ansys company still doesn't know that it has been given to Luo Sheng by the big guys as a bargaining chip.

After a while, Lovell asked, "How are things going on here? Did they go well?"

Randall replied: "I have personally visited the Koch brothers the day before yesterday. They expressed their willingness to provide the necessary support behind the scenes. They are consistent in their big interests. The Koch brothers are unlikely to regret it."

Hearing this, Lowell's spirit was lifted: "It's great, with the Koch brothers behind the scenes, the confidence of success in this matter is greatly increased."

The Koch brothers, this name can be described as a notorious name in the eyes of the North American public. If there is anyone in the world that can compete with Luo Sheng for wealth, I am afraid that only the Koch brothers will have the power to fight.

This name is the real richest man in North America, and his wealth actually surpasses Barfitt and Gates' familiar names.

Koch Industries is the second largest non-listed company in North America, spanning finance, energy, chemistry, agriculture and animal husbandry and other major fields. Just like no one knows the real wealth of the Luo Sheng family, the real wealth of the Koch brothers family How many outsiders also don’t know.

The most powerful aspect of Koch Industry is that all its expansion is based on its own profits, instead of circling money through listing and financing, it has rolled out a business empire with annual revenue of 100 billion US dollars.

The Koch brothers are richer than Buffett and Gates, because the Koch brothers’ money is not virtual wealth, not the valuation of corporate capital, but real cash and annual profits of 20 to 30 billion US dollars, which are all real money. .

Since it is a non-listed company, no one knows how many assets Koch Industries now owns. Its profits do not need to be distributed to shareholders and shareholders. All these incomes have entered the pockets of the Koch brothers.

For super-rich people like Gates and Buffett, their wealth is too much and their cash available is very small. If they sell a lot of stocks in exchange for cash, it will inevitably cause the company’s market value to plummet, and their own worth will also be shrink.

Luo Sheng’s worth is actually supported by the market value of Bluestar Technology. However, even if Luo Sheng’s wealth is too large, it cannot hold up his terrifying base. No matter how squeezed it is hundreds of billions of dollars. The scale of the horror, Luo Sheng family fund alone is hundreds of billions of dollars in cash.

But the Koch brothers are obviously not inferior. Now they are making more and more profits with more than 20 billion US dollars every year. This kind of profitability has been going on for five or six years. These profits are exclusive to Luo Sheng. Although enterprises have several times as many plates as Koch Industries, they have to share cakes with many people.

If Koch Industries goes public, the market value will go up to US$400 billion, and this is all of the Koch brothers family, and there are no external shareholders and shareholders to share with them.

In terms of wealth, the Koch brothers may not be as good as Luo Sheng, but in the influence of the North American elite, the Koch brothers are completely unmatched by Luo Sheng.

The Koch Group's influence in the United States is so great that no ordinary person can imagine it. The Koch brothers extended their reach to the North American Federal Court, Congress, Environmental Protection Agency, state courts, and the Commodity Futures Exchange Association. Wait.

The energy tycoon Raymond Tusk in "House of Cards" is based on the Koch brothers, but in reality the influence of the Koch brothers in the United States is even more terrifying.

In fact, there is the shadow of the Koch brothers behind the current reselling tide in the Mexican market and the sudden hype of futures trading.

The profit here is too big, everyone wants to get a share.

...

On the other hand, after meeting with Lowell and others, Luo Sheng greeted Yao Jianhong on this matter. As the second real power mission of the Blue Coast Company, Yao Jianhong was in charge of the main affairs. Naturally, I have to talk to him about it, otherwise, the next-to-face work is not easy to start, and I can't be a good shopkeeper.

"Mr. Luo, do you think companies such as Verizon and Qualcomm will really...or be able to settle what Ansys gives us?"

In Luo Sheng’s office, the number one and two people in the company were discussing this matter. Hearing Yao Jianhong’s words, Luo Sheng directly asked: "Is this important? I won’t lose money if I can’t pick it up for nothing? The Mexican reselling trend. Continuously creating greater profits, Ansys’s success or failure, we all earn, it’s just a matter of earning more and less."

Yao Jianhong nodded and smiled: "That's true too."

Luo Sheng analyzed: "The breadth and depth of my influence in North America is limited. It is not as good as the local rich family like Koch Brothers. I can't judge the success rate, but one thing can be confirmed 100%. Will and the people will definitely try their best to meet my requirements, because only by meeting my requirements can they recover their losses and even make money. The two are linked."

Whoever cares about their interests, Lovell's group are not only helping Luo Sheng, but also helping themselves, so they don't worry at all that Lovell's group will play the superficial and behind the scenes.

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "More importantly, Qualcomm and other companies can no longer afford to lose large customers like the Blue Coast, let alone lose the Greater China market. This is not as simple as losing a customer or a little market share. It is possible to lose. It's an era, they know the pros and cons, but they don't know the king."

Yao Jianhong nodded slowly: "It makes sense."

It's no wonder that the Silicon Valley technology circle and Wang Wang are not dealing with it.

Now that Wang Wang is so smashing, it makes North American high-tech companies very angry, and even more nervous, especially Qualcomm and IBM are the representatives.

Losing the Côte d’Azur customer is more than simply losing orders. These high-tech companies in North America now attach great importance to performance, because regardless of whether the technology developed is a leap-forward breakthrough or an iterative advancement, they have to constantly pour money into it. , To invest a large amount of prepaid sunk capital, it needs strong performance to cover the bottom.

Luo Sheng is now continuously investing in technology research and development. High-tech companies in North America dare not relax. Luo Sheng cannot prevent Luo Sheng from taking the path of self-research. Then he can only follow the investment to ensure that he can stay in the leading position. If Luo Sheng catches up, he will be surpassed even more.

The last one gave me a one trillion dollar stimulus plan. I understand that when Wang comes up, there is nothing left to say, and it will add chaos to you. Outside there are the Blue Coast and Hua for these competitors. These competitors are watching, and it is possible to lose a few decisions. There is no scum left to be eaten.

The outside world simply does not know that the current North American high-tech companies live on thin ice. They charge high technology patent fees. The outside world only sees how profitable they are, and then compare with the Blue Coast or Hua, because these companies do not collect or underreceive patents. It is incomprehensible because it costs money, even open source does not make money directly.

That's because the Côte d'Azur has no pressure to survive at all. Instead, it is in a period of rapid expansion. It is of course to serve the territory expansion of this huge business empire.

North American high-tech companies such as Qualcomm and IBM, which lie down and collect patent fees, are now happy on the surface and counting money, but they are really nervous. In order to maintain their monopoly, they must be controlled very carefully, and they must also prevent competition from the Côte d’Azur and Hua. Those who came from behind.

It is not easy to maintain a good monopoly ecosystem. Understand that Wang Yi came up to disrupt you all, and madly sent Luo Sheng assists. The North American technology giants are already very strong.

These North American high-tech companies have invested so much R&D expenses and purchased a large amount of equipment. You know Wang will say nothing about it. Even if it is repaired in the future, the customer has already determined that it has lost it, and the income is reduced, which will inevitable result. It is the reduction of R&D investment, and finally the slowdown or even stagnation of technological progress.

At the same time, competitors are desperately catching up.

In this era of rapid high-tech iterative development, technology companies are actually insecure, because you may open your eyes one day and tell you that your technology has been overtaken and your company is in decline.

Not to mention how dangerous the stagnant development of technology is for a technology company, even if the progress is slow, it is dangerous. Once the speed of progress cannot keep up with the progress of the opponent, it is backward.

Under the background of the iterative development of technology, as long as companies have sufficient funds to spend time, they will be able to make breakthroughs. The rise of Huawei in the past two decades is an example. The lightning rise of the Côte d’Azur in the past ten years is even more common in education. Paradigm.

Of course, the success of Huawei and Bluestar Technology is also based on the premise that the population quality of China is higher than that of North America. It also dared to spend money on human capital. It has risen without making money for five years or more. It is an indisputable fact that the happy education of China leads to the cliff diving of population quality.

What Qualcomm is most afraid of now is that Wang Wang has let him out of stock. Well, Qualcomm's revenue plummeted, which affected the scale of R&D investment and ultimately affected the progress of technological iteration.

On the contrary, Huawei’s baseband chip may therefore obtain nearly explosive incremental investment. Qualcomm people have no doubt that once this happens, Luo Sheng will inevitably make up his mind to throw money at Krypton Semiconductor. In order to accelerate the development of baseband chips, he has enough capital to provide prepaid capital for the research and development of baseband chips of Lens Semiconductor to fully cover the risks of R&D.

Competitors are taking off faster, but their own progress is slowing down. One goes after another. What will happen to Qualcomm in the future?

No matter how you calculate this account, it cannot be said that a loss of market share in the short term can make up for it. The loss is likely to be an era, and it will eventually be killed on the beach by the wave of the era.

Such things, North American technology giants dare not bet?Can't afford to lose!It moved forward cautiously.

Qualcomm sees it clearly, and all the tech giants in Silicon Valley can see it clearly, but the most terrible thing is that the arrogant understand Wang can't understand it. Wang Wang, who was born in real estate finance and made a fortune in trading, does not understand the accumulation of technology and the technology ecology. The significance of the system is even less clear that once the ecology is destroyed, it may be lost forever. If you want to take it back, you have to start from scratch.
