Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 663: Don’t dwell on this matter.

Yang Xiaole looked at Hua Yourong's expression and knew that this woman's sixth sense had come back again.

I ignored her. I would know it later anyway, so I would find some time to tell her then.

But there is a limit, because he can't explain it at all.

Then he looked at Huang Qiujing's report.

I asked, "I saw one of your posts says that Da Piaoliang will enter the fifth economic crisis since World War II. What's going on?"

Huang Qiujing said: "The annual data is out. Due to the tightening policy adopted by Nigeria and the failure of the Monkey Kingdom.

The fifth economic recession in the post-war period occurred in the United States, with industrial production falling by 8.1% and unemployment exceeding 7%, and the recession was long-term and structural.

This will have a strong impact on the three pillars of Damei, namely steel, automobile and construction industries..."

Yang Xiaole listened quietly and roughly understood what the other party meant.

Huang Qiujing said, "The production capacity of the automobile industry is shrinking now. Among the several automobile companies you asked me to pay attention to before, one of them, Ferrari, is going to sell 50% of its shares?"

"Ferrari? What company?"

Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment.

Huang Qiujing was puzzled for a moment: "Isn't this the Ferrari you mentioned?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole's eyes lit up.

Automobiles are one of the jewels of industry and one of the mainstream sources of money in the country after the reform and opening up. How could he let it go?

Therefore, Huang Qiujing was asked to pay attention to some things in this regard a long time ago.

He was unable to react to the English the other party had just spoken.

Because the sound is a little different.

I quickly looked through one of the semiconductor companies and asked, "What is the name of the semiconductor company you just mentioned?"

He just made a rough note of the English name the other person had just said.

Huang Qiujing looked at the thing in his hand and said, "Advanced Micro Devices..."

Then he handed him the book.
Yang Xiaole took it and looked at it, then laughed out loud, isn’t this AMD?
Although it is a little worse than Intel, it is also a chip giant!

I quickly asked, "What is the current situation of this company?"

“Advanced Micro Devices was just established this year with only 8 employees, and is now hiring a large number of people.

It seems that this company is not in a good operating condition for the time being.

When the company was founded, its employees could only work in the living room of co-founder John Carey.

Moreover, because the company was not optimistic, it only raised $7.5 in venture capital and registered the company with a total of $10 in start-up capital.

Shortly after the company was founded, AMD moved to Santa Clara, California, USA, and rented two rooms behind a carpet store as its office location.

Two months ago, their company developed its first chip "AM9300", a 4-bit MSI shift register.

It’s just that it hasn’t been sold yet.”

Yang Xiaole's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Can we contact them? How much of their shares does venture capital occupy?"

Oh shit.

This must be won!
"Of course we can get in touch with them. Several venture capital companies have invested a total of US$7.5, accounting for 75% of the total funds, but the shares only account for 50%."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole waved his hand and said, "Contact this company and buy back the shares of these venture capital companies, even if it's ten times, twenty times or even fifty times, and get them quickly. Before they sell their products.

Moreover, if you give me money, we will have the lifetime right to use all their R&D patents. Even if it means paying for them.”

Even if it is a hundred times, it is only 750 million US dollars.

It shouldn't be so much.

A tenfold return on investment in one year is a profit that venture capital companies would be jealous of.

Huang Qiujing frowned: "Is this important? Does it require such a large investment?"

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Unfortunately, this company first raised funds and then established the company. If these people were found in advance, they would not have their turn. Hurry, it must be quick."

AMD's growth momentum is simply too strong.

He seemed to remember that the company went public in two or three years, and a few years later, its sales had reached tens of millions.

If you are slow, it will be gone!

Investing early is just one reason.

What’s important is the technique!

Since he was planning to set up a science and technology industrial park and research institute in Hong Kong Island, he must first acquire these high-end technologies of the future.

Don't say anything else.

If your mobile phone is successful, the second generation of technology will start using mobile phone chips.

And the last time Intel raised funds, he bought 12% of the shares!

Thinking of this, he asked, "How is the progress of the acquisition of other shares of Inter Company?"

Huang Qiujing flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "We acquired 12% of the shares during the previous financing, and later repurchased them from major venture companies at a high price."

He is involved in both companies.

It's wonderful to think about it.

Huang Qiujing thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I have an office in the United States, I will ask them to contact us as soon as possible."

"We have to hurry up and handle this matter before the end of the year. If the team over there completes the task, this year's reward will be doubled."

Seeing that Yang Xiaole was so interested, Huang Qiujing looked at the time.

Said: "Okay, I'll call them in the evening. It's still early in the morning over there."

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Okay! Now, let's talk about Ferrari."

These are luxury cars in the eyes of later generations.

It is very common for people to be sold here and there in the West.

Huang Qiujing saw this and said, "Fiat Automobile is planning to acquire 50% of Ferrari's shares for a total of 6 million US dollars."

Fiat is not very famous in China, but it is very famous abroad.

Top 10 car manufacturers in the world.

But it seems that it still couldn't escape the fate of being acquired.

Yang Xiaole was not too surprised when he heard the market value.

When Ferrari went public in the 21st century, it seemed like it had a market value of only tens of billions.

What he wants is not the growth potential of a company like Ferrari, but his technology.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is there any hope of getting this share?"

He has money.

The problem is that this kind of old car brand is sometimes not all about money, because after being acquired by Fiat, Ferrari can have better development.

Of course, in the world of capital, when you have enough money, you can ignore everything.

Huang Qiujing nodded: "There is hope. Are you sure you want to go for the negotiation? This is also a big burden for the company."

Yang Xiaole pondered there for a while.

Finally, he said, "Get it, especially the technique, that's what I value."

An established car company with various competitions is still very important.

Huang Qiujing hummed and agreed: "Okay, I will go to Italy to deal with this matter in person."

Yang Xiaole looked at the records in his hand, picked one and asked, "Has there been a breakthrough in the battery now?"

Hua's father is now in charge of battery research and development.

But the investment and management matters are on Huang Qiujing's side.

Also to avoid suspicion.

Of course, because of the relationship with Yang Xiaole, Huang Qiujing would not make things difficult for the other party and basically gave her full support.

Huang Qiujing looked at the information and nodded gently: "Well, Mr. Hua, based on the lithium battery concept you provided, they have already tested several solutions. The battery ranges from 500 to 900 mAh and can be discharged twice. However, the continuous discharge time is only 10 to 20 minutes, and the energy storage takes 8 to 10 hours."

Yang Xiaole raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Father-in-law, it’s okay!

It took only half a year to get the results I wanted.

The mobile phones of later generations are at this level.

That's enough.

But it is not surprising. R&D consumes personnel and funds. If you have money, you can spend money on repeated experiments.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Very good, continue the research and don't worry about the money. But stability is still the first priority, there can be no problems with this."

It would be fun if this exploded every now and then.

Huang Qiujing hummed.

Yang Xiaole was pondering over this when he saw this.

In fact, there is one thing he has always wanted to get his hands on, and that is computers and the Internet.

How could he forget this?

Personal computers haven’t come out yet, so unfortunately we don’t have the conditions.

Because the earliest servers of the Internet were located in major universities in the United States, and the early use of the Internet was mainly to search for information from computers in major universities.

As for computers.

At that time, we only had mainframe computers; personal computers had not yet come out.

IBM is still the strongest company now, of course, there are also seven other small companies.

But IBM's situation is very special. Its main service targets are military-industrial enterprises, and they are state-owned enterprises.

Now Intel and AMD are both established.

CPU and GPU will also be available soon.

It's about time I get a personal computer, I was thinking.

In fact, there were too many technologies that were blocking his way back then, but there was no way. With limited energy and funds, he could only choose a few directions first.

Others can only use investment methods, cast a wide net, and focus on fishing.

He shook his head and withdrew his thoughts.

Too much and too diverse is not good either.

Let’s deal with the cell phone issue first.

Fang Tongsheng is an expert. I believe that if we give him some time, the problem with mobile phones will be solved.

But he didn't want to wait that long.

It's time to go to the Russian bear and bring some technical information over.

Thinking of this, I started to check some other things with the two of them.

He also told Huang Qiujing that the main focus should still be on venture capital.

The meeting lasted until the evening.

Yang Xiaole put away the things in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I have a general idea of ​​the company's affairs. I will stop here for now. I will leave the day after tomorrow. Let's check it carefully in the next two days."

You still need to know the general direction of the company.

As companies are now involved in more and more industries, many things will be overlooked.

And he wanted to meet Old Man Wang.

What I did abroad would definitely reach his ears. If he didn't cover it up, many things would be exposed.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. He plans to go to South Africa and then return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

The two nodded upon seeing this.

Seeing this, Hua Yourong smiled and said, "Xiao Le, I just called home and said Master Suo is waiting for you at home and wants to break your legs!"

Yang Xiaole's head went dark when he heard this.

"This old man! How did I provoke him again?"

After saying that, he looked at Huang Qiujing and said, "Then I'll go see the old man first."

Huang Qiujing naturally wouldn't say anything.

Agree.

Afterwards, the few people dispersed, Hua Yourong packed up her things, and they left the company together.

I didn't notice it when I was in the company.

But after coming out, a car followed behind.

Yang Xiaole knew that this was Hua Yourong’s female bodyguard.

Looking at the car behind him, he smiled at Hua Yourong and said, "Is Hong Kong Island very chaotic now?"

The last time I came, Hua Yourong didn’t have a bodyguard.

The main reason is that Hua Yourong doesn’t like it, and all the communities here know about this company.

There are bodyguards this time.

Hua Yourong hummed, "Yes! Now there is a big circle gang in Hong Kong Island, doing things without any scruples. After these people came to Hong Kong Island, they clashed with local communities many times..."

Yang Xiaole frowned when he heard this.

He actually had some idea of ​​who these people were.

These are people who have fled from the mainland.

But after these people came, they had no skills, and Hong Kong has seen too many people come here in recent years.

There aren't that many jobs.

After many people came here, they had no way to make a living and were bullied by local gangs, so they started to form groups.

To be precise, the Big Circle Gang is not a specific gang, but a general name for this type of people.

There are people here looking at the flower stalls and a certain way of life.

Some people even took up arms and started a business with no capital.

And these people's fighting ability is generally very strong.

Can it not be strong?

In recent years, it can be said that the entire nation has become a soldier, and many people have received militia training.

To put it bluntly, the Militia Training Manual is truly a magical book.

These people have basically received training in this area.

Compared with regular troops, they lack a lot of physical training, but compared with ordinary people, they are really much stronger.

As for the local gangs, except for a small number of people who can use weapons, the rest are basically thugs armed with sticks and machetes.

This is also the reason why these people have strong fighting power.

However, the Big Circle Gang is very scattered, with a few people at the smallest and only a few dozen at the largest. It is difficult for them to unite as a group, and weapons are not easily available.

Money is an issue.

This is also the reason why the Big Circle Gang was later driven away by the local communities.

No matter how capable you are, it won’t work if there are too few people.

If we really want to ensure that everyone in the Big Circle Gang has weapons, they can unite together.

That would be horrible.

This is no longer the society’s business.

The Hong Kong government will step in to clean up.

Li Yugang followed his own lead and the security company has recruited quite a few such people over the years.

Then he said to Hua Yourong: "Anyway, you still have to pay attention to safety here. You can lose everything, but you can't lose your life. The worst that can happen is that you can make a comeback."

Hua Yourong smiled sweetly when she heard this: "I know!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole didn't say anything else and drove quietly towards the villa area.

After a while, we arrived at the villa area.

The car stopped and the two got out.

"Mom! We're back."

Hua Yourong smiled and shouted inside.

When I entered the house, the old man was holding the little guy, and Su Ling was sitting there.

"Master, here I come again, Auntie!"

Yang Xiaole came in and said hello with a smile.

Su Ling smiled when she saw this: "You're back! By the way, someone just called and said something happened at the company. I asked you to call back later!"

Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment: "Company? We just came back from the company, who called?"

"Qiu Jing hit me!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was surprised for a moment, and smiled at the old man: "Grandpa, I'll go back to the phone first, you should prepare the stick, and I will definitely not move."

This made the old man roll his eyes.

Su Ling was speechless for a while.

Yang Xiaole picked up the phone and made a call, and someone answered immediately.

"Hello, is Yang Xiaole there?"

"Yeah, I am. What's wrong? I just left!"

Huang Qiujing heard this and said, "Our gold shop was robbed."

This made Yang Xiaole frown: "Which gold shop was robbed? Is anyone hurt? Who did it?"

In recent years, Huang Qiujing has opened many gold shops and has become one of the four largest gold shops in Hong Kong Island.

It’s just that my foundation is not as strong as others.

"The Big Circle Gang! The store in Kowloon. The people there are fine, but the loss is about 600,000 gold. I called the society, but they can't do anything about it."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought about it for a while.

The truth cannot be talked about.

Talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.

The loss is actually not that big, but if this matter is not handled properly, face and prestige will be lost.

Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, don't worry, go back and eat first, and then come over. I'll take care of this matter."

"Okay, then I'll go eat first and wait for you at the company!"

Then hung up the phone.

"what happened?"

Hua Yourong recognized that it was Huang Qiujing calling and asked curiously.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "It's a small matter. Our gold shop was robbed. Don't worry. I'll go over and take a look after dinner."

Hua Yourong frowned.

"Really? Is he okay? Then go check him out right away!"

"It's okay, let's go after dinner."

This was originally a very confident statement, but it made Hua Yourong think that Yang Xiaole was looking for an excuse to go on a date with Huang Qiujing.

"Humph!"

Looking at Hua Yourong's expression and actions, Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment.
