Feng Yu came to the United States this time to acquire many companies. He had enough cash at this time and it was time to make some strategic arrangements.
Computers will develop very rapidly in the future, and the profits will definitely not be low. Feng Yu now owns shares in Lianxiang Group, but he is somewhat dissatisfied with the development model of Lianxiang Group.
To put it bluntly, Lianxiang Group uses main hardware manufactured by other hardware manufacturers, paired with its own non-main hardware and some software. For example, the cooling fans are developed by Lianxiang itself. But how much is this worth
Lianxiang Group's personal computer business has been developing rapidly. After dominating China, it began to expand overseas, starting with some underdeveloped countries in Southeast Asia and Central Asia.
It seems that Lenovo's computer business is developing well and making money, but you can tell who is the most profitable from the market value of a company.
Intel, with a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars at this time, is the leader in hardware, while Lianxiang's market value is very different.
In other words, the better these computer manufacturers and sellers develop, the more Intel will make, because others have mastered the core CPU, the most expensive component of a computer and the component with the highest technical added value.
Why Feng Yu wanted to acquire Yingweida was because he wanted to make all parts of Lianxiang computers his own. This would not only reduce Lianxiang’s costs and increase Lianxiang’s competitiveness, but also benefit from hardware manufacturers. Take a piece of the pie in your mouth.
Feng Yu's original plan was to acquire a company that produces CPUs, but at this time there are two relatively well-known companies, accounting for more than 95% of the market. One is Intel, with a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars, and the other is Super Wei Semiconductor has a market value of more than 50 billion US dollars.
Even if it is a weak AMD Semiconductor Company, Feng Yu cannot afford to acquire it, or even hold a controlling stake. However, Feng Yu plans to acquire part of AMD's shares after selling Microsoft's shares next year, and then slowly figure it out. As for Intel, there is no hope for the time being.
Moreover, the crystalline silicon factory that Feng Yu has invested and started to build can also be cooperated with AMD Semiconductor. Feng Yu even plans to form the world's largest crystalline silicon factory in the future, thereby controlling the price of some semiconductor components, so that he can react Come to check and balance Yingte.
Next, Feng Yu's goal is hard drives, and he has already contacted a company, a Fortune 500 company. Of course, Feng Yu cannot acquire this company, and there is no hope of buying shares. This company has sufficient cash and is developing well, so shareholders will not sell their shares.
However, because of this company's direction adjustment, they plan to specialize in tape storage technology, but they are interested in selling their hard drive business.
Feng Yu had also arranged for contacts in advance. Feng Yu's original plan was to purchase the company's hard drive technology, including related patents.
But what the other party wants is to either sell the entire business to you, including production, R&D, sales, etc. Of course, the technology and patents are also yours, or they won’t sell it!
This company is called Quanteng, and its future is also very brilliant.
But fortunately, their technology on hard drives is not bad, and the price they sell them for is relatively reasonable. Because it includes the production factory, etc., the selling price reaches 120 million US dollars. After an evaluation led by Ralph, he believed that Quantum's hard drive business was actually worth only US$100 million.
This company's technology still lags behind the top companies such as Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor, and Four Star, but compared with the technology of Hitachi, Tozhi and other companies, the gap is not big.
Feng Yu is already very satisfied with this. What he wants is technology. If he brings the relevant technology back to China and builds factories in China, the cost will definitely be reduced.
Then there is Lianxiang, a cooperative enterprise with such a large scale will definitely not lose money. Moreover, Feng Yu also has a new application of flash memory technology, U disk business, which can be merged together, and the future development will definitely not be too bad.
As for the mouse and keyboard technology, Lian Xiang has already purchased it, so Feng Yu doesn't need to worry about it.
There are also monitors. Fengyu Electronics and Philips have been making progress in the technological research and development of LCD monitors. They are now the best in the world. Only a few companies such as Sunny, Four Star, and Songxia can be compared. As for the others, , has been left behind.
But Feng Yu is confident that those companies will also fail, because Feng Yu already has a plan to drag those companies into a fork in the road and let them fail on the road.
A week later, Feng Yu acquired all the companies he wanted. Of course, he spent a lot of money, but he believed that the money was well spent!
Feng Yu plans to join forces with Lianxiang Group to launch a computer revolution and reduce the price of desktop computers by another 20%. This will put companies with insufficient funds in trouble.
Just keep doing the computer business, you won't make any money, you may even lose money. If you don't do it, wouldn't all the previous years of investment be in vain
And after they fell into a dilemma, it was the best opportunity for Lianxiang to develop. In the previous life, I even wanted to become the world's number one in computer production and sales, but that was more than ten years later.
In this life, Feng Yu wants to advance this time significantly. As long as Lianxiang's computers are the most cost-effective, sales will naturally rise. Feng Yu's goal is to increase the production and sales of Lianxiang computers to the number one in the world in five to eight years, whether it is a desktop computer or a notebook. Even if it is a tablet computer, it must be the first in the world!
Of course, in order to achieve this goal, each company's products must first reach world-leading levels and costs must be reduced.
So in the next step, Feng Yu plans to open several large-scale factories in China to produce these products. One is that it can bring some income to the country, and the other is that China's labor costs at this time are still very advantageous.
As for other countries with advantages in labor costs, such as Brazil and India, but the public security is too poor, Feng Yu still feels that his country is the best.
Of course, these factories in the United States must also be retained. After reducing costs to a certain level, labor costs may not be as high as transportation costs. Just like AIWA has established more than a dozen factories around the world, it is not only because the transportation costs are too high, but also some products suffer too much loss during transportation.
Computers are more expensive than Walkmans and so on, and they are also more fragile. Calculating this, there must be production factories in Europe and the United States.
As for the monitor, the most important component of the computer besides the host, Feng Yu also plans to officially start production. In the past, Fengyu LCD monitors were manufactured by Philips. It didn't matter if the quantity was small, but if you wanted to mass-produce them, it would be more cost-effective to build your own factory.
But at this time, Feng Yu encountered a problem, or trouble.
