Chapter 681： [The sadly reminded Ansys company has no idea that it has been killed...

The interview between the two sides was a reluctance to reach some unwritten consensus. Although it was not very satisfactory, at least I saw hope that it might be improved.

By the next day, Lowell and others had already returned to North America. After returning, he had a private conversation with Randall, the head of AT&T Group.

After learning the general situation, the AT&T manager directly asked: "How can Ansys be willing to cooperate with Luo Sheng to help him cultivate CFD talents? This seems impossible, and the board of Ansys will never agree."

Lowell said expressionlessly: "Of course it's impossible to tell them. The only way to do it is to sit on the board of Ansys and get control of the company to vote."

Randall: "You mean malicious merger..."

Lowell nodded affirmatively: "Joint Wall Street to short Ansys stocks and gradually realize control of Ansys. You and I have a big head, and several other technology giants have also worked hard. Ansys has excellent performance and a $23 billion plate wants There is still a price to be shorted, and at the same time, some small and medium shareholders must be secretly acquired."

Randall has no objection. After all, whose interests are the most important, the losses of the major operators in North America are the largest and most intuitive. Therefore, the cost is definitely big, but the final benefit is also big.

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

After a while, Lowell asked: "How is the matter on your side going? Is it going well?"

Randall replied: "I visited the Koch brothers the day before yesterday, and they expressed their willingness to provide necessary support behind the scenes. They are consistent in their major interests, and the Koch brothers are unlikely to repent."

After hearing this, Lowell's spirit was greatly boosted: "Great, with the support of the Koch brothers behind the scenes, the success of this matter has greatly increased."

Koch Brothers, this name is a notorious name in the eyes of the North American public. If anyone else can compete with Luo Sheng in the world today, I am afraid that only the Koch Brothers will have the power to fight.

This name is the real richest man in North America. Its wealth actually surpasses the familiar names of Bafeite and Gates.

Koch Industry is the second largest non-listed company in North America, spanning various fields such as finance, energy, chemistry, agriculture and animal husbandry. Just like no one knows how much the real wealth of the Luo Sheng family is, the real wealth of the Koch brothers family How many outsiders do not know.

The most powerful part of Koch Industry is that all its expansion is rolled out on its own profit, rather than through the financing of listing, it just rolled out of a business empire with annual revenue of hundreds of billions of dollars.

The Koch brothers are richer than Bafite and Gates, because the Koch brothers’ money is not virtual wealth, not a valuation of corporate capital, but real cash and profits of $20 to $30 billion a year, which are real money. .

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

For the super rich like Gates and Bafit, their wealth is too great, and there is very little cash available. If they sell a lot of stocks in exchange for cash, it will inevitably cause the company's market value to fall sharply, and their own value will also shrink.

In fact, Luo Sheng's worth is also supported by the market value of Bluestar Technology, but even if the scale of Luo Sheng's wealth is too large, he can't bear his terrible base, no matter how crowded it is hundreds of billions of dollars. The scale of the horror, the Luo Sheng family fund alone has hundreds of billions of dollars in cash.

But the Koch brothers are obviously not inferior. Today, the profits of more than 20 billion US dollars are increasing every year. Such profitability has lasted for five or six years. These profits are all exclusive, Luo Sheng’s Even though the plate is several times as many as Coriolis Industries, after all, it is necessary to share the cake with many people.

If Koch Industries went public, the market value would have to go up to the level of 400 billion U.S. dollars, and this is all from the Koch brothers' family, and no external shareholders and shareholders share with them.

In terms of wealth, the Koch brothers may not be as good as Luo Sheng, but in the influence of the elite class in North America, the Koch brothers cannot be matched by Luo Sheng.

The Koch Group’s influence in the United States is unimaginable to any ordinary person. The Koch brothers extended their tentacles to the North American Federal Court, Congress, the Environmental Protection Agency, the state courts, and the Commodity Futures Trading Association. Wait.

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

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

The profits here are so great that everyone wants to take a slice of it.

...

On the other side, after meeting with Lowell and others, Luo Sheng greeted Yao Jianhong on this matter. As the No. 2 real power mission of the Cote d’Azur Company, Yao Jianhong was in charge of the operation. Things naturally have to talk to him, if you don't work hard to start later, you can't be a good shopkeeper.

"Mr. Luo, do you think that companies like Verizon and Qualcomm will really... or can they make Ansys give us what we want?"

In Luo Sheng's office, the company's No. 1 and 2 figures are discussing this matter. Hearing Yao Jianhong's words, Luo Sheng directly asked: "Is this important? It's not cheap to pick me up and I won't lose?" Continue to create greater profits, Ansys's success or failure, we all earn, it is just a matter of earning more and less."

Yao Jianhong nodded and smiled, "That's true."

Luo Sheng analyzed: "My influence in North America is limited in the breadth and depth of the radiation. It is not as good as the local rich family such as the Koch brothers. I cannot judge the success rate. However, one thing can be 100% confirmed. The group of Will will try their best to meet my requirements, because only if they meet my requirements, they can recover their losses and even make money. The two are linked."

Whose interests are in the heart, Lowell's group is helping Luo Sheng, but also helping themselves, so I'm not worried that Lowell's group will play a set of plays on the surface and a set of behind.

Luo Sheng smiled: "More importantly, companies like Qualcomm can't afford to lose large customers like the Cote d'Azur, nor can they lose the Greater China market. This is not as simple as losing a customer and a little market share. It is an era, and they know the benefits, but they only understand the king and don’t know it."

Yao Jianhong nodded slowly: "It makes sense."

No wonder the Silicon Valley technology circle and the King of Understanding are not dealing with it.

Now that Wang Wang is so troublesome, it makes the high-tech companies in North America furious and even more nervous, especially Qualcomm and IBM are among the representatives.

Losing this customer on the Côte d’Azur is not just about losing orders. These high-tech companies in North America now value performance particularly because no matter whether the R&D technology is a leap-forward breakthrough or iterative progress, they have to keep throwing money in. In order to invest a large amount of prepaid sunk capital, it will require strong performance to get the bottom line.

Luo Sheng is now continuously investing in technology research and development. North American high-tech companies are not afraid to relax and can not prevent Luo Sheng from taking the path of self-research. Then they can only follow the investment to ensure that they can lead. If you slow down, you will not only Being caught up by Luo Sheng will be surpassed.

The last one gave me a trillion-dollar stimulus plan. I understand that when Wang came up, Mao didn’t say anything, but it also added chaos to you. There are also the Cote d’Azur and Hua on the outside looking at these competitors. It is possible that few decisions are lost. There is no leftover residue.

The outside world simply does not know that the current North American high-tech companies are living on thin ice. They charge a high amount of technology patent fees. The outside world only sees how profitable, and then compares the Côte d'Azur or Huawei to these companies. Fee, even open source does not make money directly and feels incomprehensible.

That is because the Côte d'Azur has no survival pressure at all, but is in a period of high-speed expansion. It is not yet time to become mature, and of course it is serving the expansion of the territory of this huge business empire.

Qualcomm and IBM, the North American high-tech companies that lie on patent fees, are now happily counting money but are really nervous. In order to maintain a monopoly position, they must be very careful to control, and they must also prevent the Côte d’Azur and Hua from competing for these. The later came up.

It was not easy to maintain a good monopoly ecosystem. I understand that Wang Yi will upset you all and send Luo Sheng to help. The North American technology giant's mentality has not collapsed.

These North American high-tech companies have invested so much research and development costs and purchased a large amount of equipment. You can say that Wang will not eat the food, even if it is repaired later, but the customer has determined to lose it, and the income will be reduced. It is the reduction of R&D investment, and finally the slowdown or even stagnation of technological progress.

At the same time, competitors are catching up.

In this era of high-tech rapid 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 heading for recession.

Not to mention how dangerous technological stagnation is for a technology company, even if the progress is slow, it is dangerous. Once the speed of progress cannot catch up with the opponent's progress, it is behind.

Under the background of iterative technology development, enterprises can achieve breakthroughs as long as they have sufficient funds to spend time. The rise of Huawei in the past two decades is an example, and the lightning rise of the Côte d’Azur in the past decade is more pedagogical. Paradigm.

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

What Qualcomm is most afraid of now is that King Wang let him out of stock. Well, Qualcomm's income plummeted, which affected the scale of R&D investment and ultimately affected the iterative progress of technology.

On the contrary, Huawei's baseband chips may get nearly explosive incremental investment, and Qualcomm people have no doubt that once this kind of thing really happens Luo Sheng will definitely decide to personally throw money crazy Krypton Blue Lansi Semiconductor allowed Hua to speed up the development of baseband chips. He had sufficient capital to provide prepaid capital for Lansi Semiconductor's baseband chip research and development, and to fully cover the research and development risks.

Competitors take off faster, but their own progress slows down. The trade-offs are different. What else will Qualcomm do after that?

No matter how this account is calculated, it can not be said that it can be compensated by losing a little market share in the short term. It is likely that the loss is an era, and it was finally killed on the beach by the wave of the era.

Such things, the North American technology giants dare not gamble? Can't afford to lose! It is moving carefully.

Qualcomm understands that all the technology giants in Silicon Valley understand, but the terrible place is that the proud Jiao Wang understands it, and the transaction is born. The real estate finance expert who understands Wang simply does not understand the technology accumulation iteration and technology ecology. The meaning of the system is not clear. Once the ecology is destroyed, it may be lost forever. If you want to get it back, you have to start from scratch.
